It is Kokang and Changchun

　"It's true, but don't get too excited. The shield strength is nothing compared to what we had in the last world."

　No. 1 Deep Sea said, "Take the most basic frontline combat vanguard as an example. The shield used to be able to barely withstand two 125mm PE shells, but now it can only withstand one 76mm high-explosive shell at most."

　The words chilled the hearts of the deep-sea creatures. However, they didn't complain, as something was better than nothing.

　"But..." Deep Sea No. 1 continued, "The shield is only in the possession of a few deep-sea pioneers, and we don't know which ones they are. After you go down, have all the deep-sea pioneers try to deploy the shield. Record every attempt and report it to the next level."

　"Yes!"xN

　A deep-sea pioneer raised his hand and said, "Can I ask what caused the shield to return?"

　Deep Sea No. 1 said, "I'm not sure yet, but according to Admiralty Code, it's related to the appearance of another her far away..."

　At the same time, Donghuang

　"A-choo!" Eve, who was traveling in Donghuang, suddenly sneezed.

　"Tsk, who is saying bad things about me..."

　(Return to the Deep Sea Base)

　Deep Sea No. 1 continued the previous topic: "The Second Admiralty Code has issued a supreme directive. We should currently allocate most of our production capacity to the navy, air force, and the construction of anti-missile systems.

　Thirdly, according to Admiralty Code, due to another force majeure event beyond her control, the growth cycle of the Deep Sea Vanguard has been shortened even further."

　"It's been several days? Why hasn't the 50 been received yet?" Changchun, who had just finished intensive training and had not had time to take off his 07 marine camouflage training uniform, was puzzled.

　When she got home, she changed her clothes immediately and sat in front of the computer desk.

　Thinking about this.

　"Their features are so obvious, it's impossible not to catch them... Could it be that they aren't spies?"

　But Changchun quickly rejected this idea.

　"Even their social media accounts are clearly marked as red-lined. If they were true fans, there's no way they wouldn't know about it. They're definitely spies! Humph!"

　"Besides, the domestic surveillance system is so advanced now, how could they possibly escape?"

　Changchun has personally experienced the power of the surveillance system. When he first became a spirit, if it weren't for the extremely advanced surveillance system, Changchun might have continued to play hide-and-seek for a long time.

　"Forget it, I'll go cook..." Anyway, Changchun is not short of money now, so he didn't think too much about the 50 yuan.

　"Today, I'll make some beetroot soup and nine-turn large intestine, and eat them with bread~"

　Then Changchun went to the kitchen and started his own operation.

　Eve, who had long since left Qingdao, was now heading south. However, her appearance had changed the moment she put down her phone after making the report in Changchun, and the same thing happened to Xi beside her.

　Not only did his face shape change, but his hair also turned into ordinary black hair, his eye color changed to blue-black, and even the originally flat plains have now become towering mountains, and he has changed his name to El.

　During this period, a National Security agent did come to "look for" Eve, but because Eve's features were very different from "Al", and there were no signs of disguise, and there were no problems with her passport and other identity information, they let her go.

　When being investigated by the National Security Bureau, Eve pretended to be speechless and said, "What does your arrest of Eve have to do with me, Al?"

　Anyway, no matter what, our little Changchun is destined not to get the 50 yuan that he is longing for (laughs).

　Chapter 105 Special: Leaden Memories

　Yokosuka, Japan

　In a room at Yokosuka Naval Base, the alarm clock on the bedside table faithfully rang at the set time.

　A white and tender arm stretched out from the quilt and slapped the alarm clock, and the ringing alarm suddenly became silent.

　The covers on the bed rustled and rustled, emitting the lazy moans of a young girl. A pair of red and white mechanical ears protruded from under the covers on the pillow.

　A minute later, the quilt was suddenly lifted and a girl got up from under the quilt. She successfully overcame the warm spell of the quilt.

　"Ayanami is so cold..." Ayanami complained when she was exposed to the cold air without the warm air.

　Normally, shipgirls are far less sensitive to heat and cold than humans. Even if Ayanami puts her hand in a steam cylinder or runs naked in the Arctic in winter, she won't say a word.

　But in most cases, for the sake of their own life experience, the ship girls will adjust their senses to be closer to humans, rather than adopting that superhuman posture.

　After getting out of bed and waking up, Ayanami looked up at the calendar on the wall.

　"Today seems to be December 13th..."

　Suddenly, Ayanami seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes, which had been a little sleepy just now, suddenly widened.

　"ちょっと,まさか(wait, could it be)..."

　Having been educated by Xiang, she naturally understood what this day meant in a neighboring country.

　Ayanami, who had just woken up, slowly sat back on the still warm bed, recalling what Xiang had taught her, combining it with her own past memories, and quietly thinking about this heavy history.

　That year, she was still a cold war machine and had not yet become a spirit.

　That year, she participated in the Wusong Landing and the Hangzhou Bay Landing, providing artillery support to the landing troops.

　That year, she was conscious but unable to control herself; she was also unable to communicate with others. She had no subjective initiative at all and was still very naive.

　That year, she thought that the soldiers who landed, and even the war, were truly fighting to liberate the people of Asia from the clutches of Western powers.

　That year, she firmly believed that the Chinese defenders on the shore were thugs who had surrendered to the European and American powers.

　As the war raged on, news of victory spread across the country like snowflakes dancing in the sky. However, Ayanami, through the daily chats of the sailors, did not hear the government's propaganda at the time, such as "war will make everyone's life better," come true.

　Instead, domestic prices have skyrocketed, crime rates have increased, and some sailors' families have been broken up due to the worsening economic situation, with some even losing their homes and lives.

　However, due to limited access to information, Ayanami at the time simply concluded that the war was indeed not entirely right. That was all, and she didn't delve any further.

　And now, she has reappeared in this world in another form, and with the help of her juniors, she has gradually come to understand the history that she herself did not know, the bloody and sinful history hidden under a gorgeous coat.

　When she first learned about the various horrific, inhumane, and brutal events that occurred in the Donghuang land during the war, she remained silent for the entire day.

　Among the materials provided by Xiang, there are many reproduced photos, and every picture in the photo is shocking.

　Some of the photos showed pregnant women having their bellies ripped open by soldiers.

　Some photos showed streets flowing with blood and piles of civilian bodies.

　In some photos, the bodies of the people were torn apart, while the perpetrators were standing next to them, holding a saber and grinning foolishly...

　In these photos, there is no worst, only worse.

　One of the photos shows two army second lieutenants holding sabers, with the names of the two officers - Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda - marked in the blank space below.

　This

　Shi Linghai flipped through the old information given by Xiang one by one. As a soldier who had been to the battlefield and seen a lot of blood and flesh, she couldn't bear to look at it.

　Not only that, in the information that Hibiki gave to Ayanami, there were also photos of the Japanese Army's Unit 731 capturing civilians for secret biological and chemical experiments in Northeast China and the "Three Alls" campaign in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

　In addition to foreign information, Xiang also showed Ayanami how the Japanese government and military at that time treated ordinary people in the country.

　After seeing these photos, Ayanami couldn't calm down for a long time. For the first time, she realized how evil the war was, and for the first time, she knew what kind of army she had fought for.

　The next day after she finished reading the materials, she was so filled with guilt that she knelt in her room without even a cushion. She had a white cloth tied around her head with two Chinese characters written on it: "Guilty."

　Ayanami was filled with shame, muttering to herself, "The Bushido spirit emphasizes righteousness, courage, benevolence, courtesy, and sincerity, and that war was the greatest blasphemy against the Bushido spirit! Soldiers are supposed to defend their country, not invade everywhere!"

　After saying that, Ayanami slowly opened her eyes, picked up the ship-cutting sword placed aside, and wiped it carefully with a towel.

　"If letting Ayanami die can bring back those innocent souls, then my death is not a pity. It's a pity that the dead cannot be resurrected. But this does not mean that Ayanami can be absolved of the crime of being an accomplice!"

　Ayanami was indignant, holding the ship-cutting sword upside down, pointing the sharp tip at her white, tender and sexy belly with a mermaid line.

　"Ayanami-chan, take another look at these...Ayanami, what are you doing?!" Hibiki walked into Ayanami's room with the information, and was frightened when he saw Ayanami preparing to commit suicide by disembowelment.

　Hibiki threw the information at his feet, rushed forward, snatched Ayanami's ship-slashing sword before she could make a move, and demanded:

　"Ayanami-chan, why are you doing this?"

　"Hibiki, I'm deeply sinful, don't stop me!"

　"Ayanami-senpai, I'm not showing you this to make you die as an atonement! I'm showing you this to make you admit your mistakes, remember history, and create the future!"

　Hibiki threw the ship-slashing sword out the door, keeping it as far away from Ayanami as possible. Then he continued:

　"If you die, others will only think you committed suicide out of fear of punishment, rather than sincerely admitting your mistakes! The information I bring to you now is to let you know that even in a dark and cloudy sky, there are still a few rays of light shining on the glorious side of human nature!"

　Hibiki tried to calm Ayanami down and picked up the documents he had just dropped.

　After Ayanami's emotions stabilized, Hibiki placed the documents on the desk in Ayanami's room and said calmly:

　"In fact, there are still people who care about the existence of those of us who are forced to be cannon fodder. Look at these and you will know."

　Ayanami took a quick look and the words "Japanese Eighth Route Army" and "Japanese Communist Party" caught her attention.

　Seeing Ayanami's interest, Xiang explained, "When some of our soldiers were captured by the Eighth Route Army, they weren't mistreated. Instead, they were given adequate humanistic care and anti-war education. They ate and wore the same things as the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and some even ate better than the Eighth Route Army soldiers."

　Ayanami carefully read the relevant information and discovered that there were actually armies in the world that treated enemy prisoners in this way. It was already good enough for ordinary armies not to abuse prisoners, but they actually treated prisoners well.

　Not only that, many of these captives voluntarily joined the ranks of local fighters and became comrades who shared weal and woe. At that time, where else in the world could you find such an example?

　As she watched, hot tears slowly flowed from her eyes.

　Xiang looked up at the sky outside the window. The sun shone through thick clouds. The scene moved her, and she said, "Gorky once said that dark clouds cannot cover the sun. These are the radiant rays of humanity that linger beneath the barbarism."

　These captured soldiers fully demonstrate that no one is born evil and everything can be changed. As the saying goes, the old society turns people into ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people.

　……

　At this point, Ayanami returned to reality from her memories.

　Ayanami recalled the time when she almost committed suicide by disembowelment in the past, and her thoughts and emotions were mixed.

　"Hmm... How about this? Ayanami writes a letter and sends it to Manju to express her deepest condolences to the Chinese people for this tragic event."

　Ayanami sat up from the bed, walked to the desk, took out a pen, and began to write on the letter paper.

　Out of sincerity, Ayanami wrote this letter using Chinese characters to the greatest extent possible, using as few kana as possible. At first glance, it's easy to mistake it for a piece written a hundred years ago.

　Later, after receiving Ayanami's letter, Manju published it publicly on the official account of Azur Lane. Although a week had passed since the public memorial day when the letter arrived, it still did not conceal the significance of the letter.

　In subsequent videos about the National Memorial Day, Ayanami's letter was also quoted in many historical science videos.

　Among them, a passage in this letter has become a popular passage:

　"In this world war, no country can stay out of it. But every time the trigger is pulled, it is a living person... We are tired, we are numb, we are innocent. We are both heroes with great achievements and unforgivable criminals. We are destined to disappear in history. We are the elves of the ocean, the ghosts on the sea surface, and the rats that sink in the deep sea. These

　This is our story.

　One day, all wars will end. The guns will decay, the grass will grow again, and all traces of war will be gone. The land will heal itself, just like all other wounds. As long as everyone remembers this pain, there is hope for a future of peace.

　However, some Chinese netizens questioned whether Ayanami's anti-war attitude was thorough, because the writing style of the letter was somewhat eccentric and difficult to understand.

　It was not until after the victory of the Japanese Revolution that Ayanami publicly responded to the doubts for the first time: "...At that time, Ayanami wanted to avoid the letter being detained by the censors targeting the ship girls, so she used the Spring and Autumn style of writing. I am really sorry for causing misunderstandings to the Chinese people..."

　Chapter 106 The Red Deep in My Heart

　A prison in Central Siberia, Russia

　"Are you here to visit Tashkent and Miss Red Caucasus?"

　A prison guard on duty asked Aurora as she came to the prison.

　Aurora replied: "Well, I'll give them something by the way."

　The prison guard looked at the incubator in Aurora's hand and said, "You can visit, but we have to check your box."

　"Here you go." Aurora cooperated with the inspection and handed the box to the prison guard on duty.

　The prison guard on duty called inside and another prison guard came out after a while.

　The guard on duty handed the box to the other guard and said, "Check it carefully and report anything unusual immediately."

　A few minutes later, the prison guard who was checking the box came out holding the box and said to the prison guard on duty:

　"It contained pizza and kvass, and there was nothing wrong with the box itself."

　After hearing this, the guard on duty turned to Aurora and said:

　"Sign your name and visiting time on this form, and then you can go in. Sign your name and leaving time again when you come out. This is your visiting seat number. We will ask them to come out separately when the time comes. You just need to wait."

　With that, the prison guard on duty returned the box to Aurora and gave her a visiting seat number.
