It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Cease fire, idiot! We're on the same side!" The game character spewed out friendly insults and curses.

　Chapter 136 Breaking Free from the Shackles of the Treaty

　The inexplicable sinking of the Seventh Fleet has dealt a heavy blow to the US Navy's strength in the Asia-Pacific region.

　Now the entire Seventh Fleet only has a handful of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers left in Yokosuka.

　There were only miscellaneous minesweepers and a few dock landing ships in Sasebo.

　Only a few attack submarines remain in Guam.

　The Seventh Fleet at this moment has long lost its glory, and even the Maritime Self-Defense Force can suppress the current Seventh Fleet.

　As a result, anti-American forces in Japan began to become active again, and with the support of the ship girls, the anti-American activity increased greatly. (Japanese ship girls themselves are the largest anti-American force in Japan)

　However, the scale of the protests still fell short of the series of large-scale actions carried out by the Japanese people in 1959 and 1960 to oppose the Security Treaty. At that time, the number of participants in each action was extremely large, ranging from millions to over 10 million.

　However, the scale and number of protests are also increasing. Since the day after the Seventh Fleet was lost, protests and demonstrations have been escalating across Japan. Within two weeks, more than one million people have participated.

　The demonstrations were mainly concentrated in counties and cities where US troops were stationed, such as Tokyo, Sasebo, Yokosuka, Yokota, Zama, Ryukyu Islands and other cities where the US Army and Navy were stationed.

　Under normal circumstances, the United States would have been accustomed to this series of actions by Japanese civilians.

　But this time is different. Not only the public, but also the Japanese government has a strong intention to unilaterally abolish the security treaty, and the Japanese ship girls also strongly support it. Some of them are even deeply involved in it, which has to make the United States vigilant.

　"You guys... have you forgotten that we still have the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier in Asia?" A US military officer stationed in Japan threatened with his forehead full of angry veins.

　Atago rested her hand on her cheek and said with a half-smile, "Americans, first check how many guided-missile destroyers you have left in the Asia-Pacific. An aircraft carrier without destroyers, cruisers, and submarines is nothing more than a sitting duck."

　The United States has also considered dispatching other fleets to fill the current "defense gap" in the Asia-Pacific region, but the seven major U.S. fleets all have their own jurisdictional waters and corresponding responsibilities, and the arrangements are sufficient.

　In addition, the situation between Russia and Ukraine

　There are a series of international developments that are directly or indirectly related. If the United States dispatches other fleets here, it would be tantamount to robbing Peter to pay Paul.

　"Why can't we just take a little from each fleet and put it together as a complete fleet?" An officer pointed out the blind spot during a discussion at the U.S. Navy Department.

　Another officer said, "It takes time to integrate this cobbled-together force, and it will take at least ten days to half a month for these ships to arrive from all over the world. This time is enough for us to apply to Congress to use the ship girls and redeploy them to Japan."

　"So what's the result of our application to Congress?" asked Officer C.

　The U.S. Navy is very confident about this application. How could the congressmen not approve the Navy's application to use KanColle when the Seventh Fleet is gone and Japan wants to break away from U.S. control?

　"They said they would give a reply at noon today. It seems like it's about time now." Officer D rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch.

　A few minutes later, the door opened and an officer in a black suit walked in. He didn't look very well.

　"How is it? Congress..." Other officers couldn't wait to ask about the application results.

　The black-clad officer sighed and said, "Forget it. Only 60% of the councillors agree, which is less than two-thirds. The application is rejected!"

　"???!!!"

　"Shit! This can't even be passed? I seriously doubt Congress will pass it!"

　This result is actually closely related to the deep sea.

　Shenhai wasted her time and energy trying her best to sow discord between the ship girls and humans in the United States. At the beginning, they started with the civilians.

　But perhaps because this world itself has the existence of KanColle culture, the effect of Deep Sea's operations is far less obvious than that in the previous world.

　Although it successfully brainwashed a small number of people through public opinion, it still did not become a big trend and did not have a big impact on the majority of the people.

　Especially the players in the naval circle, they are as calm as a mountain and treat all these as fake news.

　Two months ago, an anti-KanColle group in a certain state of the United States smashed and destroyed the KanColle B and KanColle R booths at a large comic convention. What's worse, they even beat up the KanColle cosplayers.

　Later, this group was discovered by human flesh searches of American ship B and ship R players. Not long after, this group was formed by some American ship circle players with private guns to play offline real-life COD against the opponent.

　当天晚上，该反舰娘团体的驻地周边，什么M870、M1911A1、AR15、Win1894、M1928A1等等各型五花八门的枪声不绝于耳。

　The situation was not brought under control until the local special police brigade arrived.

　So they set their sights on Congress, which controls the US military power.

　It is well known that capitalists will sell out their own ropes for the sake of profit. Congressmen, as representatives of the American bourgeoisie, are no exception.

　The fact that the shipgirls possess abilities far superior to those of humans already makes these congressmen wary. Given this foundation of distrust, it's not difficult to create a chasm between the shipgirls and the U.S. Congress.

　What's more, it was Deep Sea, whose intelligence capabilities were like plug-ins, who did this.

　Therefore, they would rather give up the United States' non-core interests than give the ship girls a chance to perform.

　Missouri was furious after hearing the news from Congress:

　"Ahhh! What the hell is Congress doing?! I can't wait to harpoon and tomahawk my way through the cauldrons of those Japanese bitches! Let them know that a defeated opponent should behave like a defeated opponent!"

　"Missouri, impotent rage is useless." New Jersey showed a calmness that was completely different from usual.

　"Being tough requires capital. We only have half the number of ship girls as the enemy. The world situation is very tense right now. It's best for us not to do anything to exacerbate the tension."

　Missouri felt very aggrieved and said to New Jersey, "Second sister, have you forgotten the lessons of history? We were not vigilant enough against Japan back then, which led to the tragedy of Pearl Harbor!"

　To enhance its persuasiveness, Missouri also specifically mentioned the Essex-class Lexington.

　"Besides this, I suspect the sinking of the Seventh Fleet had a lot to do with those Japanese bitches.

　Senior Lexington (CV-16), you were once in the Seventh Fleet. Don't you feel bad for the sailors and younger generations (referring to the ships)? The Seventh Fleet's silence is most likely caused by Japanese ships!

　Lexington tried to reassure Missouri, saying, "Missouri, I am naturally deeply saddened by the sinking of the Seventh Fleet.

　But please calm down. Now, both the Japanese and we have conducted multiple investigations that have proven that the sinking of the Seventh Fleet had nothing to do with Japan's ship girls.

　During the period when the Seventh Fleet lost contact, all Japanese ships were at their respective ports and berths, which has been confirmed by both the United States and Japan.

　"But Japan has recently tried to break free from U.S. control, so we must be wary of the revival of militarism." Missouri pointed out another recent development in Japan.

　The companies that had been silent on the sidelines spoke up.

　"Missouri, don't resort to slippery slope arguments. I know for sure whether it's a militarism or not. Japan's motivation for opposing the US military presence in Japan isn't what you think.

　The security treaty is full of official arrogance.

　The sales will be fully borne by the Japanese side. Do you understand what this means?

　Simply put, someone is in your house, eating your food, using your things, and playing with your things, which affects the normal lives of your other family members, and you still have to pay him money for his monthly living expenses.

　So the question is, whose house is this? Missouri, if you were in this situation and had someone like this in your house, what would you do?

　"I... uh..." Missouri was silenced by the company's attack. She sorted out her words and retorted:

　"As a defeated country, this is what we deserve. The garrison is to prevent the resurgence of militarism."

　"Preventing the resurgence of militarism... well said." The company then began to praise the situation, saying:

　"When our country occupied Japan, we declared that the ultimate goal of our occupation of Japan was to ensure that Japan would no longer be a threat to the United States or a threat to world peace and security."

　Enterprise paused, then continued:

　"If that's the case, then why did Japan retain so many officials from the old Japanese Empire era in its newly reorganized government agencies during the democratic reforms? Why was Emperor Hirohito, Japan's number one warmongerer, not brought to justice?"

　When Enterprise said this, all the ship girls fell silent.

　After a long pause, the company spoke out again: "So, whether it's the military stationed in Japan or democratic reforms, the fundamental purpose is to train Japan into a puppet of the United States, not to prevent the resurgence of militarism."

　Missouri didn't know what to say and asked, "Mr. Enterprise, what exactly do you want to say?"

　"Me?" Enterprise confessed, "I don't support you going to Japan to cause trouble, but I support Japan's recent protests against our troops stationed there, and I support the abolition of the unequal security treaty. National independence and militarism are two completely different things.

　Rather than worrying about movements in Japan, we should worry about how we can escape the situation that is being targeted by the Diet.”

　-----------------

　After Congress once again rejected the Navy's application to use the ship girls, the U.S. Navy had no choice but to decide to piece together a task force from the other six fleets to merge into the Seventh Fleet, which had few ships left.

　However, due to the tough attitude of the Japanese ship girls and the Japanese government, in order to avoid escalation of the situation, the task force did not enter the main island of Japan, but temporarily stopped at the Guam base.

　Chapter 137 Breaking Free from the Shackles of the Treaty (2)

　"Good, that's it!"

　Hibiki said as he looked at the recent news about the anti-Security Treaty movement with satisfaction.

　Although she doesn't know why the Suga government has become much tougher in the past six months, she would be happy as long as it can drive the United States out of the Japanese archipelago.

　After all, only by driving the American imperialists out of Japan can a good premise be provided for the Red Revolution. It is well known that the United States has strong anti-communist suppression capabilities.

　She hopes that Japan can follow France's example and not leave any foreign troops stationed there.

　In addition to this, there was a good news recently from Takuma Ozawa in Fukushima - Xiang has been promoted from a key training target to a probationary party member.

　When she told the news to other ship girls she was close to, everyone congratulated her.

　Yudachi thought that Xiang should celebrate for himself, but unexpectedly, Xiang gave him a lecture.

　"This is too insignificant, there's nothing to celebrate. People shouldn't make a big fuss about small good things; it only makes them arrogant and impetuous.

　Not being happy with things or sad with oneself is the psychological quality that a Communist Party member should have."

　"Hmph..." As soon as Yudachi heard this, he knew that his plan to persuade Xiang to hold a banquet and eat for free had failed.

　Yudachi simply stopped pretending and said what he really thought. "I want to eat the fried pork cutlet from that late-night restaurant, is that okay?"

　"As expected, the real purpose is not to drink... You, the only thing you know how to do is eat, eat and eat!" Xiang pinched Yuudachi's face hard and scolded.

　"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.'" Yuli broke free from Xiang's pinch on the face and retorted.

　Xiang Banmi glanced at Yudachi and grumbled, "That's true, but is there anyone as greedy as you? Also, if you want to eat, go order takeout yourself. Why bother with me?"

　"You get a bargain! You have a good relationship with the boss lady, so you get a discount." Yudachi said playfully and cutely.

　The tail behind her was wagging wildly from side to side, the dog ears on her head were shaking excitedly, and her two pairs of starry eyes made people want to surrender.

　"Okay, okay..." Xiang didn't want to argue with Yudachi, so he agreed: "I'll buy it for you."

　As he spoke, Xiang took out his cell phone, opened the address book, selected the number of the Midnight Diner and dialed it.

　Hibiki: "もしもし, I am Hibiki."

　The cafeteria owner: "Hahi, I'm Mistia, does Hibiki-san need anything?"

　Hibiki: "I'd like a tonkatsu, delivery."

　Mistia: "I'm sorry, the delivery truck broke down these past two days and is being repaired, so we can't deliver. You can only dine in or pick up in person."

　Xiang: "Is that so? Then I'll go get it from the store. I'll be there soon. Bye."

　After Xiang hung up the phone, he raised his eyebrows at Yuudachi and said, "You are unfortunate, but fortunately~"

　"Nani?" Yudachi didn't understand what Xiang was saying.

　"Unfortunately, the boss lady's car broke down and she can't deliver the takeaway. Fortunately, the base is out today." Xiang explained.

　Xili said with relief: "Fortunately! Then go buy it back quickly. I have

　Can’t wait! ”

　So Xiang set out to the late-night restaurant to bring food to Yuudachi.

　"I hope I don't run into that big eater from last time..."

　When Xiang recalled the pink-haired girl named Youyouzi who was feasting in the private room on New Year's Day, he couldn't help but feel scared.

　After a while, Xiang came to the cafeteria door. After entering, Xiang greeted Mistia.

　"Madam, I'm here to pick up my food!"

　Mistia, who was cooking in the kitchen, looked outside and saw a familiar old customer.

　"Please wait a moment. I'll be right back once I get the food out of the pot."

　Mistia lifted the wok and skillfully scraped the inside of the wok with a large cooking spoon, pouring the food into a plate.

　Then the proprietress instructed a waiter who was sweeping the floor, "Xiangzi, take this dish to table 2."

　"Eh? Me?" Xiang thought the proprietress was calling him and asked in confusion.

　"No, no..." Mistia realized that she seemed to have caused a misunderstanding and clarified, "One of my good friends has a name very similar to yours."

　At this time, Xiangzi came to Mistia and brought the dishes to table number 2.
