Aurora asked, "What about the army? Are there any people in the army who support you now?"

 "Yes, but there are also many people who oppose me. During my term of office, I have carried out many military system reforms, and the interests of many officers have been damaged, and they are dissatisfied with me. Although there is currently no evidence that these people have the intention of rebellion, it does not mean that they will not plan to do so in the future." Putin continued to tell the truth.

 Then he added, "I suspect they don't do that because I don't have a successor right now. Once I'm gone, they'll probably start vying for power."

 "Let me assume that what you said is true. Since there are people in the army who support you, you can directly contact the Russian Communist Party or the Russian Communist Workers' Union to support your army and restore Russia." Aurora changed her sitting position and suggested.

 Putin expressed regret, saying: "The problem is that I don't have enough support in the military to gain an advantage over the factions that oppose me. In this situation, contacting the Communist Party of Russia would be a dead end. It would harm the Communist Party of Russia."

 "Mr. President, this is not like your style." Aurora folded her hands across her chest and leaned back slightly.

 "If you are truly a communist and a strong-fisted leader, you shouldn't hesitate. During the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks didn't have much of an advantage over their enemies, yet they still succeeded."

 Putin disagrees with Aurora's view: "I am a strong-handed person, but I am not a gambler. If I fail and die, who will complete the work that follows? Can we rely on the Communist Party of Russia or the Communist Workers of the Russian Federation, who have no army and no relevant experience, to carry out a revolution from the bottom up?

 Lenin dared to fight and act because he was not fighting alone. He had many comrades behind him, such as Trotsky and Stalin. If Lenin fell, there were other comrades. If I fall, who will be left?

 "Aren't there officers who support you? You are not the only one fighting." Aurora pointed out a point that Putin overlooked.

 Putin: "They are all professional officers after the army was depoliticized, but they are far from having the theoretical level of Trotsky and Stalin, although their positions are relatively positive."

 Mercury Jiji showed a look of clairvoyance. "I see. You came to us hoping to find a politicized military to consolidate your power, right?"

 Putin nodded, not denying it. "Yes, you are the most suitable candidates."

 "But how can you convince us that you're still a comrade? Is it just based on your past experience in the KGB and what we just talked about? If you treat Mercury like a child, you're making a big mistake~"

 Mercury Memorial rested his left elbow on the armrest of the sofa, his palm supporting his chin, a mysterious smile revealing his little fangs at the corner of his mouth, and his pink eyes stared at Putin intriguingly.

 Putin naturally knows that it is not easy to make the ship girl trust him

 , he said very naturally:

 "After Gorbachev was beaten, opposition groups in various departments strongly demanded that we stop reproducing you. In order to protect your old comrades, I did my best to overcome all objections, but ultimately they failed to succeed.

 After all, at the time, the keels of two battleships had just been laid in a large dock at the Severodvinsk Shipyard. I had forced the construction of these battleships first, despite objections.

 Aurora was shocked and asked, "Battleship? Two of them? Could it be..."

 "The October Revolution (Gangut) and the Soviet Union," Putin replied.

 Aurora and Mercury Memorial were shocked. They knew what the two battleships meant to the Red Navy.

 "If I was pretending, why would I go against public opinion and create my own enemies?" Putin asked, drinking water again.

 "Capitalism first produces its own gravediggers..." Mercury Memorial quoted classics and tried to refute it.

 "But that is unconscious and objectively inevitable. No bourgeoisie would actively produce its own gravediggers if they were aware of this," Putin answered skillfully.

 If we take the game as a reference, Putin cannot be unaware of the October Revolution and the Soviet Union (whether it is B or R)'s hatred of evil. If Putin is really a traitor disguised as a comrade, then his strong priority to build the October Revolution and the Soviet Union is hard to explain.

 Mercury Memorial and Aurora thought so, and after careful consideration, they expressed their views to Putin.

 "At least we won't treat you as a class enemy anymore, but whether you're a comrade is still up for discussion. Accepting you isn't up to us two, but the entire Red Navy fleet."

 ……

 Aurora finishes describing the scene, and the perspective returns to a prison in Central Siberia two weeks later.

 As she was telling the story, Aurora had already taken a taxi from the prison area and was heading to the nearest airport to fly back to St. Petersburg.

 In radio communications, Tashkent and the Red Caucasus also felt magical about Aurora's story.

 The Red Caucasus's advice is to take it easy and wait and see what happens, as it is most likely a trap.

 Tashkent also believes that a long-term plan should be taken, but unlike the Caucasus, they can be friends, but are far from being comrades.

 Chapter 108 Action Training

 [Pre-requisites: This chapter is recommended to be played with the background music "Battlefield 3 Main Theme."]

 December 24th Hawaiian Islands

 A dozen nautical miles west of Oahu, an aircraft carrier task force is sailing.

 However, the style of this fleet is very different - the formation includes not only modern Burke-class missile destroyers, but also several World War II-style destroyers and light cruisers.

 The core of the fleet is the Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, on which the Enterprise and Hornet are preparing for today's training.

 They were walking in the aisle of a cabin, holding flight helmets in their hands, their destination being the fighter planes on the catapult of the flight deck above.

 "Wow, modern ships are so advanced. I never get tired of seeing them over and over again." Bumblebee marveled at the advanced modern equipment on the Enterprise, his face full of envy.

 Enterprise calmly patted Bumblebee on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I hope Bumblebee will have the opportunity to modernize in the future so that we two sisters can fight side by side better."

 "But don't be distracted by envy. The most important thing right now is training." Enterprise changed the subject and urged Bumblebee.

 "I understand, Sister Enterprise. Although I can't compare to you in fighting, I am not an ordinary person either!" Bumblebee replied carelessly.

 Enterprise nodded and got down to business. "Hornet, today's training mission is to simulate a ground support operation. The general content of the operation is to destroy the pre-set target 20 nautical miles northwest. The commander and captain will provide us with further details after we take off."

 "Understood, Sister Enterprise!" Bumblebee said in a serious tone.

 The two of them walked to a corner. Turning right at the corner was a steel staircase leading from the cabin to the open-air platform on the side of the ship. Enterprise, who was walking in front, stopped, turned back, and encouraged Bumblebee:

 "Polish your weapons, strike the target in your best condition, complete your training, and have a good Christmas Eve tonight."

 Enterprise winked at Bumblebee and gave him a confident smile, then looked back ahead, walked up the stairs, and out of the hatch.

 The moment I stepped out of the cabin, the sound of rolling waves, moderate rain, and the roar of jet engines hit my ears like a symphony.

 The endless thick cumulonimbus clouds in the sky gave people a strong sense of oppression. Only a gap allowed the dazzling sunlight to shine through, casting shadows on the wet deck of the aircraft carrier.

 Bumblebee looked at the rain and felt the strong sea breeze, and complained:

 "It's still the same weather in Hawaii as it was in the 40s. It rains a lot in winter and spring. Does headquarters intend to let us train in this kind of weather?"

 The enterprise loudly responded in the storm:

 "The ability to attack in bad weather is also a necessary quality for naval aviation pilots. There's nothing wrong with that. When you sent Colonel Doolittle to raid the Japanese mainland, the weather was much worse than it is now."

 "Well... just because you've experienced it doesn't mean you like it." Bumblebee pouted and complained softly.

 The two men climbed up a steel staircase again and came from the open-air platform on the side of the ship to the side of the F/A-18 fighter-attack aircraft that was already fixed on the catapult.

 "OK, let's go!" Enterprise said, put on his flight helmet, climbed the ladder next to the cockpit of the plane and entered the cockpit.

 "Okay!" Bumblebee took a look at his flight helmet, and the cowboy hat on his head turned into a blue light spot and disappeared before he put on the helmet.

 The moment he put it on, Bumblebee felt that the whole world was quiet. Even the sound of the plane's engine almost disappeared, leaving only the sound of raindrops falling on the helmet shell.

 "Wow, this sound insulation effect is really amazing!"

 After putting on his helmet, Bumblebee climbed the ladder and entered the co-pilot seat of the plane.

 After taking his seat, Bumblebee pressed a button as previously taught, activating the control panel in front of him.

 She looked to her right front, at another F/A-18 also preparing to launch.

 Yorktown and Lexington sat aboard the F/A-18. As if by telepathy, Yorktown instinctively turned to look at Enterprise and Hornet's aircraft, and his gaze met Hornet's.

 Yorktown gave Bumblebee a thumbs-up and cast a look of trust and affirmation.

 Bumblebee was full of motivation after receiving encouragement from her elder sister, and she also gave Yorktown a grateful look in return.

 "Please close the hatch." Crownpeace reminded Bumblebee in the command tower of the island.

 Bumblebee immediately closed the hatch and apologized.

 "Sharks 4-6, you're second." Crownpeace read out the takeoff order.

 "Shark 4-6 received." Enterprise and Bumblebee reported in unison.

 Crownpeace: "Alright, Shark 4-6, I need you to check the front and rear flaps now."

 Enterprise: "Hornet, check the left front and rear flaps."

 Bumblebee operated, and the left front and rear flaps moved accordingly.

 Bumblebee: "Left front and rear flaps OK!"

 Enterprise: "OK, good. Is the right side okay?"

 Bumblebee persisted as before, replying, "Right front and rear flaps normal!"

 Enterprise: "Okay, weapons systems check next, activate HMD visor."

 Bumblebee immediately pressed several buttons on the control panel as Enterprise ordered, and the transparent visor portion of the helmet displayed the image in front of Bumblebee's eyes.

 Enterprise: "Now let's check the weapons. How about the cannon?"

 Bumblebee: "Machine Gun

 The tube is rotating and appears to be in good condition.”

 Enterprise: "Then check the missiles and heat flares."

 Bumblebee: "Tracking missile systems and heat flares... no problem."

 Enterprise reported to the control tower: "The weapon system is normal, the instrument shows everything is normal, no fault indicator lights are on, and we can carry out the mission!"

 Crownpeace gave the go-ahead: "Cleared for takeoff!"

 After receiving permission to take off, Enterprise said to Yorktown, "Sit tight, sister, I'm going to eject!"

 Enterprise had a thought, and saw the Yorktown and Lexington planes rushing out of the deck under the powerful force of the electromagnetic catapult and flying straight to the line between sea and sky.

 "Bumblebee, here we go!" the company reminded.

 As soon as she finished speaking, Bumblebee suddenly felt a force pressing her back against the seat, and the scenery outside the cabin was rapidly receding.

 The catapult process took less than three seconds. In the blink of an eye, the Enterprise fighter jet had left the aircraft carrier and was flying in the air.

 Enterprise was in control of the flight, reporting the aircraft's status step by step: "Ejection successful, engines normal, terminal speed good... landing gear retracted."

 克劳恩皮丝:“鲨鱼4-6,航向请改为2-9-0,收到了吗?”

 "Sharks 4-6 received."

 Enterprise controlled the fighter jet to change direction, making a 180-degree turn and flying towards the sky above the aircraft carrier.

 At this moment, Yorktown's voice came over the plane's communication: "Shark 4-6, this is Shark 4-2, flying level on your starboard side."

 Enterprise: “Got it.”

 The two planes flew side by side over the aircraft carrier that had just taken off. The number "80" on the front of the aircraft carrier's deck was slippery due to the rain, reflecting the only sunlight.

 指挥部下达命令道:“鲨鱼4-6和鲨鱼4-2,这里是指挥部,我们在北偏西24°方向发现敌方地面防御工事,需要打击。请转变航向为3-1-0。”

 Enterprise and Yorktown complied, turning their planes to change course.

 Enterprise asked: "Does the target have air defenses such as surface-to-air missiles, radars, or anti-aircraft guns? Does it have air support?"

 "The enemy only has anti-aircraft artillery and no air support." The command center responded.

 "Strange..." Bumblebee muttered to himself. "If it's just the anti-aircraft guns, then this mission wouldn't be that challenging..."

 Enterprise said, "The command center is the training director. I don't know what they think, but we just do it. If we only have anti-aircraft guns, we can just strike at medium and high altitudes."

 Then the Enterprise and Yorktown planes began to climb to an altitude of 3000 meters.

 At this moment, the command center connected to another fighter jet formation in flight and said, "Boys, are you ready? We're going to give the ladies a big Christmas Eve surprise."

 "Yes, sir!"

 "So what if it's a shipgirl? We have four planes! (Note: When the performance of the fighters is roughly equal, the chance of winning a 1 vs. 2 air battle is very low.)"

 The fighter formation then quickly rushed towards the fighter planes of Enterprise and others according to the coordinates given by the command.

 Chapter 109 Action Training (2)

 Suddenly, two F/A-18 fighter jets rushed out from the cumulonimbus clouds that covered the sea surface near the entire task force and flew forward and upward.

 Although the conditions in the middle and high altitudes were not the cloudless sky that the Yorktown-class sisters and Lexington had expected, but were cloudy, it was still much clearer than the low-altitude dark clouds that were looming over the city.

 "Nice, let's go and kill the ground target. Sister York, follow me!" Enterprise said, flying the fighter plane towards the target direction.

 The two F/A-18s maintained cruising and level flight when the locked warning indicator on the console screen suddenly lit up and a shrill alarm sounded in the cabin.

 "Oh, shit! What's going on? Doesn't the enemy have air support and anti-aircraft missiles?!" Bumblebee shouted in shock.

 Enterprise said nothing, only making a "tsk" sound, immediately performing an evasive maneuver and shouting to his wingman.

 "Shark 4-2, there may be incoming enemy aircraft or missiles, stay safe!"
