It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Fortunately, Ukraine is not a member of NATO, otherwise this mess would be really difficult to clean up."

　"So what does Mr. President mean?" The official next to him waited for the president's next order.

　Biden drummed his fingers on his desk and said in frustration, "Let's get rid of the burden and draw a clear line with Ukraine. I don't want to fight a third world war! Let Ukraine fend for itself."

　----------------

　On the way to the Sea of ​​Azov, Mercury Memorial was on the phone with Putin on the missile cruiser Moskva.

　"...Although there's no evidence at the moment, based on Ukraine's consistent behavior, I have a feeling there's something fishy going on! So what are the people on the front lines saying now?"

　Mercury Memorial was a little excited. After all, historical grudges and Ukraine's stupid behavior ruined Mercury Memorial's live broadcast of the battleship B player, which made her very unhappy.

　"The troops on the front line are now on the defensive." Putin answered after looking at the report that was sent to him not long ago.

　A certain old woman expressed dissatisfaction with the Russian army's defensive stance on the front lines. "Defensive? With Ukraine's strength, can they just charge at Kiev and crush it?"

　Kyiv, who was standing next to him, scratched his head, blushed slightly and looked at senior Mercury awkwardly.

　Putin asked Mercury Memorial to control her impatience, saying:

　"Comrade Mercury Memorial, Russia is currently not in a favorable position in public opinion. Through investigation, we have concluded that we are innocent, but we cannot find any evidence to prove our innocence to the public.

　Second, it is the Winter Olympics period now. Others are eating the shit that destroys peace, so we naturally cannot follow them in eating it.

　If we launch a rash attack now, we will not only destroy the peace promised at the Winter Olympics, but also fall into Ukraine's trap.

　In short, this is just a provocation by Ukraine and its American masters behind it.”

　Mercury Memorial listened to Putin's story, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a forced smile:

　"In that case, I hope what Mr. President said is true. The consequences of lying to Mercury are very serious~"

　Small extra: Daily life of Donghuang ship girl (4)

　Chongqing has been feeling very complicated these days.

　Well, to be precise, it should be a mixture of emotions, sadness and joy.

　This mentality is related to her recent viewing of the Winter Olympics.

　Since the beginning of the Winter Olympics, Chongqing has watched every game of the Donghuang team.

　Looking at the medal table, Donghuang's total medal count and gold medal count are hitting record highs. Chongqing is sincerely pleased and happy for the progress of these winter sports athletes.

　Especially when she learned that the preparations for the Donghuang Winter Olympics were perfect and brought fond memories to athletes from all over the world, her impression of this country was once again elevated to a new level.

　People should never forget their hometown. Similarly, Chongqing also watched every game of the British team.

　Later, after the Winter Olympics, Chongqing looked at the only two medals, one gold and one bronze, behind the Union Jack on the medal list and fell into deep thought.

　Looking at other European countries, almost every major country can press Britain to the ice and rub it madly.

　A Linxian-class light cruiser in Donghuang didn't want to comment too much on the Winter Olympics results of athletes from her hometown. She wanted to find a closed-roof dock to hide in.

　"I now fully understand how Donghuang fans feel when facing their own national football team." - Chongqing

　Chongqing still wore a ladylike smile as she said this, looking quite calm. It would have been even better if you ignored the veins bulging on her forehead.

　"Really... Oh, by the way, Pinghai happened to buy a dozen blueberries online yesterday. Let's ask her for some." Chongqing said, and went out to find Pinghai.

　As soon as Chongqing left the stairs, Zhaohe passed by Chongqing's dormitory.

　The door of the dormitory in Chongqing was not closed, and the sound of the TV coming from inside attracted Zhao He's attention.

　"Oh my, are you watching the Winter Olympics?" At this time, Zhao He passed by and saw that the TV in Chongqing's room was broadcasting the live broadcast of the Winter Olympics.

　Zhao He took a closer look at the data on the British medal list, which made her burst out laughing.

　"Hahahaha! Only one gold and one bronze medal! This great country of Great Britain is lame! They talked about winning seven medals, and now this is it?"

　A certain tomboy doubled over with laughter. After recovering a little, she continued to list them one by one:

　"Look, Germany is second in the medal table. Even tiny countries like the Netherlands and Switzerland have more medals than the UK. Isn't that shameful?

　More importantly, the British team has returned home without a trophy several times in history. For a team from a major world nation to be so poor, it's best to disband it sooner rather than later.

　How could it be that in such a large country like Britain and Northern Ireland, there are only a few winter sports athletes who can win medals?

　Zhao He concluded triumphantly, "What do you call this? This is the sick man of Great Britain. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the old saying was absolutely right. It really is a changing world..."

　Zhao He was showing off his superiority, but he was completely unaware of the murderous intent gradually rising behind him.

　Suddenly, a young girl's hand with slender fingers rested on Zhao He's right shoulder. Before Zhao He could react, the hand suddenly

　pinch.

　"Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...!" Zhao He screamed in pain from being pinched.

　Chongqing was stretching Zhao He's muscles while greeting him kindly:

　"Zhao He, are you itching to do that? Are you craving to copy the word biang a thousand times again?"

　It was only then that Zhao He discovered that he had been caught red-handed in Chongqing for insulting the British.

　"Sister Chongqing, I was wrong! No! No!...Ah! Ah! Ah!"

　Zhao He's screams were heard from Chongqing's room.

　Ten minutes later, Zhao He slowly walked out of Chongqing's room.

　"Hiss—ah! It hurts so much..." Zhao rubbed his shoulders that were red and swollen from being pinched by Chongqing.

　Chongqing's words just now kept echoing in her head.

　"As for me, I've been researching massage techniques lately, specializing in treating various itches. I didn't expect Zhao He to be so eager to come to me for a massage."

　Zhao He shook his head, trying to dispel the "unforgettable" memories just now.

　After teaching Zhao He a lesson, Chongqing calmed down and thought over and over again about what Zhao He had just said.

　"Although Zhaohe went too far, what she said was all true... Sigh."

　Chongqing drank the red tea with a worried look on his face, and was genuinely worried about the future of Britain's ice and snow sports.

　At this time, in the UK, a group of British ship girls were also sighing for the performance of the British Winter Olympics.

　When watching the live broadcast of the game, there are always sailors and ship girls who feel sad and leave one after another.

　The fact that Britain's medal tally fell far short of its promise has become a hot topic in British sports circles over the past couple of days.

　After watching all the British teams at the Winter Olympics, the usually proud Elizabeth (Ship) said frankly that if the British team lost the game like this, they would probably lose all their dignity.

　"You're talking about the functional departments. How many IOC chairpersons have been replaced over and over again? Do they take it seriously? I'm asking, have these people ever taken the Winter Olympics seriously? Ninety percent of resources are allocated to the Summer Olympics! There's simply no one who can get me in."

　Elizabeth was so excited that she even blurted out her long-banned self-proclaimed name.

　"What team did I lead? The United Kingdom's Royal Navy! I don't want to mention the current Royal Navy, but after all, the Royal Navy's ancestors have been prosperous for hundreds of years. Why has the Winter Olympics been so bad from the beginning?!"

　"What's the current level of the British Winter Olympics? Aside from the curling team, what else can the other teams do? They can't. They don't have the talent, you know?!"

　Sha Bai was so angry that he kept hitting the floor with the bottom of the scepter and said angrily:

　"After losing to Australia and New Zealand, they even lost to their former colonies and the Netherlands. Now they're going to lose to Belgium! Will there be no one left to lose to in the future?!"

　Half an hour ago, Dawn Goddess sent me a message saying that the British team's poor performance had some people mocking them as the "Sick Man of Great Britain!"

　Off the field, in addition to the British ship girls, there was also the British national ice and snow sports team who had returned and were called here to be scolded.

　"Although we are also ashamed, I don't know why...listening to Elizabeth's diatribe makes me completely unable to get angry?"

　An athlete whispered cautiously to his companion next to him.

　Chapter 129: Soaring World Tension (3)

　As if it was planned in advance, it was Ukraine that started the trouble, but the Western capitalist countries led by Europe and the United States kept accusing Russia of aggression.

　Not to mention, Russia's forces are now on the defensive, fighting back against the attacking Ukrainian forces.

　For several days, the Russian army did not attack because their top commander was waiting for the end of the Winter Olympics.

　As soon as the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the United States, following Biden's orders, immediately withdrew its diplomats and other officials from Ukraine.

　The day after the Winter Olympics, at a White House press conference, White House spokesperson Psaki said there was no situation in which the United States would send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia.

　She stressed that President Biden would not change this decision under any circumstances. "We will not fight Russia and will not deploy troops in Ukraine to confront Russia."

　After hearing the news, Putin, sitting in the Kremlin, laughed and said, "I knew it. The United States is getting scared. Now, it's time to get down to business."

　Putin then immediately called the National Defense Command Center and said: "General Gerasimov, the Winter Olympics are over, proceed as planned."

　At 10:57 that day, Russia launched a large-scale long-range strike on the Ukrainian front and rear, and ballistic missiles loaded with conventional warheads attacked military airports across Ukraine.

　This was followed by large-scale attacks on other Ukrainian military facilities using various types of rocket launchers.

　For a time, the sites of various Ukrainian military facilities were filled with smoke and flames.

　In cities near military facilities, shrill air raid sirens sounded on all sides.

　Zelensky declares a state of war in the country

　At 12:12, the Russian army broke through the border of Kharkiv Oblast, and the Ukrainian military command posts in Kiev and Kharkiv were attacked by rockets.

　The Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that at around 5 a.m. local time on the 24th, military facilities and military airports in many parts of Ukraine were attacked. Currently, the airspace over the entire Ukrainian territory has been closed.

　Zelensky said in a speech that day that the entire territory of Ukraine has entered a wartime state and all military forces and special forces have been mobilized.

　Ukraine's navy and air force were immediately

　Si's long-range attack smashed it to pieces.

　At this time, Mercury Memorial and Kiev were still on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, receiving and observing every piece of news about the situation between Russia and Ukraine.

　"I heard that before the war, 96 of the top 100 richest people in Ukraine left." Kiev said to Mercury Memorial as he looked at the news he had just seen yesterday.

　Mercury Ji Nian spread his hands, an unnatural ironic smile appearing on his face.

　"The bourgeoisie, while always talking about national justice, when they are about to lose their own lives, will abandon everything except their own and their money, and even betray the entire nation.

　In the hands of the bourgeoisie, nationalism is nothing more than a tool to cover up class contradictions and deceive the working people."

　Kiev nodded in understanding that Ukrainian nationalism is indeed tending to be more ruthless.

　Putin has indeed previously stated that he would help Ukraine become less vulnerable.

　At this time, Mercury Memorial received another new message.

　"Hey, it looks like the weather in Ukraine today is suitable for paratroopers in some areas. Our paratroopers have successfully landed at a military airport near Kiev." Mercury Memorial said with a smile.

　Then Mercury Memorial looked at the map and thought.

　"If the army and the air force launch an all-out attack, we can take Kiev before tomorrow. If the army hasn't entered Ukraine in a few hours, it's probably because they're not serious."

　Speaking of this, Mercury Memorial couldn't help but think of a ship tour and said to Kyiv:

　"By the way, the recent Azure event happened to be a Northern Alliance event, and the hardest ship to get in that event happened to be yours. I wonder if the event planner did it on purpose."

　As a "party involved", Kyiv feels very subtle. Although the event is next door, this feeling has increased rather than decreased due to current events and its own reasons.

　Mercury Memorial laughed and joked, "Under the current circumstances, I really can't participate in the event recently. But I don't mind, after all, the real thing is right next to me~"

　As she spoke, she put one hand on Kiev's shoulder to show the friendship and care of the elder to the younger.

　"If possible, I also hope to graduate from the event quickly, but KanColle has also had an event recently, and I'm afraid I can't handle both..."

　After talking a little about games to relieve their tense nerves, the two quickly returned to the main topic.

　Mercury Memorial asked, "Kiev, do you think this battle should be fought faster or slower?"

　Kiev sighed and said, "Let's end the war quickly. This will benefit both sides. Russia's economy can no longer sustain a protracted war. The dismal performance of the domestic stock market after the outbreak speaks volumes."

　"Yes, war costs money... no, it should be said that it burns money." Mercury Memorial was also worried about Russia's economy.

　She lamented in a rather artistic way: "It's not just the stock market; all markets are equally affected. Where is the bustling market now after the epidemic?"

　After saying that, she picked up a bottle of vodka and drank it, then swallowed a few sips and put the bottle back.

　Kiev, standing next to her, seemed lost in thought. After Mercury placed the bottle down, she suddenly asked, "Senior, I'd like to ask you, what do you think of Zelensky?"

　"He should go back to being a comedian. The political arena is not for him."

　Mercury Memorial gave a very short sentence that still expressed his meaning.

　"There's an old saying in Donghuang: 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle.' So I started getting to know this comedian president a long time ago.
