It is Kokang and Changchun

　Mercury thought for a moment and asked about Moscow's current situation. "Comrade Moscow, are you in your original form or ship-mounted mode?"

　Moscow: "Ship-mounted mode."

　Mercury Memorial: "Are you used to it yet?"

　Moscow: "It's OK, normal navigation is fine."

　"Okay," Mercury Memorial decided. "Moscow will return by the shortest possible voyage, and Kiev will continue to the waters off Odessa. And remember, Kiev, don't tell anyone about Moscow's presence beforehand."

　"Yes!" x2

　On the same day, the Ukrainian government received a message from Russia, which meant "Thank you for the gift from my friend."

　The Ukrainian authorities were confused. It was strange to use the language that was only used in live broadcasts in diplomacy between countries.

　Officials speculated about what Russia meant.

　Zelensky watched and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he understood everything. He stood up and announced his reasoning loudly:

　"I understand. Since this is live broadcast lingo, the gift in this sentence actually refers to a rocket. Considering that we recently sank a Russian guided missile cruiser with a Neptune missile, missiles are also considered a type of rocket..."

　Combining the above points, this sentence means that Russia is thanking us for sending it a missile. This fully illustrates Russia's current inferiority complex. It seems that Russia has gone completely crazy! The Russian-Ukrainian battlefield is about to usher in a historic turning point!

　Zelensky's cabinet looked at each other in confusion at the president's magical leap of thought.

　But to avoid embarrassing Zelensky, they all chimed in. "That makes sense, the president is wise!"

　The next day, some sailors at the Sevastopol Naval Base discovered the existence of Moscow, but because the headquarters had solemnly notified them in advance, everyone kept it a secret.

　In Mercury Memorial's office, Moscow and Mercury Memorial were chatting about something.

　"Comrade Moscow, I have discussed this with the Army through Putin and will send you to the Mariupol Steel Plant tomorrow. That's an excellent hunting ground for you."

　Moscow sighed and said, "The underground fortifications that were once built to protect the 40,000 factory workers have now become a hiding place for a group of Nazi scum who are desperately resisting...

　If the designer of this underground fortification knew about this, he would probably be so angry that the coffin lid would fly several meters..."

　-----------------

　The Mariupol Steel Plant is a large steel plant built in 1933 and is the largest steel plant in Europe.

　It is not an exaggeration to call this steel plant a small city. The plant has more than a hundred large workshops, and the total number of employees in its heyday was more than 4.

　The factory's building is very sturdy and was designed specifically to deal with large-scale strategic bombing and even nuclear strikes from the enemy during wartime.

　At the same time, underneath the steel plant there is a large underground nuclear defense facility from the Cold War era, the deepest of which can reach dozens of meters underground.

　In Hearts of Iron IV terms, the Mariupol Steel Works is like a civilian factory with the effects of a level 4 fort.

　After a protracted battle, the Azov Battalion and other remnants of the Ukrainian Army have all retreated to this factory.

　anti.

　Although the Russian army had tried to persuade them to surrender many times, these guys refused to surrender and boasted that they would "fight to the end."

　But the Ukrainian army hiding in its shell seemed to have overlooked one thing - they had no air superiority, not only that, they didn't even have an anti-aircraft vehicle.

　What? You mean the Stinger missiles in the hands of the Ukrainian army? Those are fine for hitting helicopters, but hitting fixed-wing jets is a joke.

　This means that the Russian army can send aircraft to carry out sustained carpet bombing on steel mills without worrying about being shot down.

　Anyone who has played Hearts of Iron 4 knows that without air superiority and a large number of air defense facilities on the ground, even a level 10 fortress will be a fixed target for bombers.

　The same is true in reality. Under the heavy bombing of the Russian Air Force and rocket artillery forces, the Mariupol Steel Plant was reduced to ruins despite its solid construction.

　In the suburbs far away from the steel plant, a Chechen commander was observing the dilapidated steel plant with a telescope.

　"Alright, that's enough. Let the air force and artillery stop the bombing."

　"Yes!" A signalman responded immediately and contacted the Air Force and the rocket artillery units in the rear, requesting to stop the bombing.

　After a few minutes

　"Report! Artillery and Air Force responded, bombing has stopped!"

　The Chechen commander listened to the signalman's report, nodded, and ordered, "Alright, send two mechanized infantry regiments into the factory to see if there are any survivors. If there are any, shoot them immediately."

　"Yes!"

　So, two regiments of infantry, led by several BMP-2 and BTR-80 infantry fighting vehicles, entered the factory to carry out a sweep.

　[Chechen troops are sweeping...]

　"Report, the search is completed, no survivors or other abnormalities were found!" The commanders of the two mechanized infantry regiments truthfully reported their search results.

　"Well, it seems that they are all hiding underground. In this case..." The Chechen commander looked at the two regimental commanders, and then looked at the entrance of the underground fortifications that was blown open by the bunker-buster bomb.

　"The next battle will be very difficult..."

　When fighting deep inside a fortress, it is difficult for armored vehicles such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to enter, and the attack can only be carried out by infantry or assault vehicles (open-top frame small jeeps, such as China's airborne assault vehicles).

　Moreover, when fighting, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. You never know whether you will meet love by turning a corner, looking up, looking down, or looking back.

　Was it a Claymore mine? A trip mine? Or perhaps the machine gun's love for the hidden firing hole in the doorway? No one knew.

　Some suggested using poison gas or flooding, but the Chechen commanders rejected them one by one.

　"Please, this is a triple-defense fortress. Can you come up with some reliable ideas?!" The Chechen commander rebuked those incompetent military advisors.

　Just when the Chechen commander was worried about how to clean up the underground bunker, he received a secret foreign aid from the Russian Navy.

　"Is this foreign aid? What's the use of a helicopter to attack a bunker?"

　The Chechen commander looked at a Russian Navy Ka-27 helicopter slowly landing on the open ground with a strange expression on his face.

　Then a tall girl with silver-gray hair got off the plane, and the Chechen commander understood instantly.

　"Great, which one are you..." The Chechen commander wanted to ask the girl in front of him which ship girl she was, but was stopped by the girl.

　"Shh...Sir, I know something, but there's no need to tell it. Just call me Natasha."

　"Uh... well, beautiful Miss J... ahem... Natasha," the Chechen commander said, trying to organize his words. "I understand. Do you need weapons for your next operation?"

　"No need, thank you very much. I brought it myself." Moscow replied nonchalantly.

　Then, under the gaze of many officers and soldiers, she walked into the blown-open entrance.

　"Hello, miss... do you need us to come together?" An infantry officer stopped the girl, wanting to show off.

　No need, just wait for me outside. The girl gave everyone a confident smile and then resolutely walked into the dark bunker.

　After entering, the girl walked along the passage for a long time and came to a heavy armored door.

　After confirming that no one was following, she pulled out two PKP machine guns from her ship's armored compartment and erupted in a passionate battle cry: "Nazi cykas! Your Moscow grandmother is here! YPA!"

　With the explosion of several anti-ship missiles, a car-sized hole was opened in the armored door, and dozens of rows of bullets were fired from the hole at the same time.

　It's just like playing the biochemical mode, hiding in the cage of the biochemical pyramid to prevent monsters from coming in and outputting firepower crazily.

　The bullets hit Moscow with a bang, creating sparks on the metal, but Moscow ignored them and faced the firepower that could turn a person into a sieve in an instant.

　"It feels good to be tickled, but it's a pity... it's you Nazis who are tickling me! Cyka blyat!"

　After throwing out a gentle and easy-going Russian national curse, Moscow took two PKP machine guns, jumped into the cave and came behind the door.

　"Hello, you neo-Nazi wild dogs! I, Moscow, am here to take you to see Comrade Lenin!" After the greetings, there was the loud sound of PKP machine gun fire.

　Today, in the bunker of the Mariupol Steel Plant, the Ukrainian army and the Azov Battalion not only received the warmth of the PKP machine gun's full-power ammunition, but also personally felt the intimacy of the AK630 close-in defense gun and anti-ship missiles.

　Of course, if we ignore Moscow's warmth, Azov

　The screams and wails of the battalion and Ukrainian soldiers, as well as the broken limbs, heads and rivers of blood on the ground, made the scene even more perfect.

　Chapter 146: The Hedgehog Cat's Transformation

　[Chapter Preface: Yesterday, a Kancolle novel serialized on HedgehogCat with over 5000 million hits was blown up by the censors for being politically involved.

　The popularity ceiling of KanColle literature on this site is about to explode... I'm already speechless about the current hedgehog cat; I wonder when the former book lovers will return? So I wrote this chapter today to express my anger and helplessness.

　----------------

　Because of the emergence of Kanmusu, Hedgehog Cat's Kanmusu literature has become much more popular than before, attracting not only human readers, but also Kanmusu.

　While learning about Kanmusu culture, Lexington (CV-2) inevitably came across Kanmusu fanfiction. As with ships like the Bismarck and Tirpitz, she discovered the sanctuary of Kanmusu fanfiction on HedgehogCat and registered an account.

　In order to be able to read books directly, Mrs. Lie also learned Chinese and passed the HSK Level 5 exam in just two months.

　On my wife’s bookshelf, there are two books pinned to the top, one is "I Gave Myself to the Country" and the other is "The Happy Island of Lexington".

　After a busy day at Pearl Harbor, Mrs. Lie returned to her main room.

　Generally speaking, Saratoga would visit on time at this time to communicate with me and promote sisterhood.

　But today Sarah could only regret not being able to come because she accidentally broke the nose of a sailor who was playing a joke on her.

　Saratoga is currently in a week-long lockdown.

　"A soldier can be killed, but a file cannot be used to sharpen it..." The beaten sailor regretted tremblingly when he just woke up on the hospital bed.

　Now let's go back to Lexington.

　"Finally, I've submitted the training report. Now let's relax." Lexington stretched and took out his cell phone.

　After unlocking the phone screensaver, Lexington clicked on the "Hedgehog Cat Reading" app and prepared to read the novel.

　When the bookshelf loaded up, Lexington couldn't help but wonder, "Strange, why is this book offline?"

　On the bookshelf, the cover of the book "I Handed Myself Over to the Country" was blurred, and in the lower inner part of the cover, a line of words read "Offline".

　Lexington then contacted the author via private message. The author said the platform's reason for the incident was political. As for the specific details involved, the author did not know the specific reason.

　Lexington expressed regret about this and felt puzzled and sorry about what the hedgehog cat did.

　So she asked, "Is it because Chinese officials prohibit writing books about this kind of content?"

　The author denied this and clarified, "No, this is purely a hedgehog being afraid of trouble. If the Chinese government really strictly prohibits writing about China's modern and contemporary political history, then why do books like 'Bright Sword' and 'In the Name of the People' exist?"

　"So that's how it is. The platform acted on its own initiative. Has this platform always been like this?" Lexington continued to ask.

　The author looked up at the sky, recalling the Hedgehog Cat's predecessor - Happy Book Guest, and replied to Mrs. Lie with a sad face.

　"This platform used to be called Happy Books, but later changed its name to Hedgehog Cat after a change of ownership. Back when it was Happy Books, the atmosphere on this platform was very relaxed. The Kancolle stories back then were so much better than the ones we have now... Sigh.

　Since the change of boss, Hedgehog Cat has been increasingly strict, to the point where it's now a bit neurotic. Those readers who have been on the site for more than five years can clearly sense the change in the platform's direction.

　Anyway, the current situation is that no matter whether you write in a positive or negative light, as long as you touch on China's modern and contemporary political history, you will be doomed. In short, Hedgehog Cat has zero tolerance for politics.

　It's true that I have no destiny but a disease that has a starting point."

　Coincidentally, the day after the book "I Handed Myself Over to the Country" was taken offline, the book "Red Maria" also ran into trouble.

　Although it has nothing to do with Kancolle, this book is also ranked in the top ten in the Hedgehog Cat Historical Military Zone.

　It’s not that the entire book is gone, but the platform has blocked the post and book review area.

　But this also shocked the author and readers.

　While Hibiki was following Kancolle's novels on Hedgehog Cat, he was also following other books, and "Red Maria" was one of them.

　After learning about the fate of "Red Maria", Xiang couldn't help but angrily comment:

　"The whole book, especially the part about the Japanese Revolution, is very well written. Why did some readers make irresponsible remarks that led to today's situation?!

　And the hedgehog cat, too, doesn't he know that keeping the people from speaking out is worse than keeping the river from flooding? Just shutting up the people and thinking everything is fine? What's with the military and the Special Higher Police?"

　Anyway, Hedgehog Cat's mysterious actions these days are bound to anger a group of readers again.

　However, what Hedgehog Cat Review didn't know was that among the readers angered by his actions, there was one reader who was no small matter...

　The No. 690 Spy-Type Deep Sea Vanguard based in Japan is also one of the readers of Hedgehog Cat KanColle's novel, and is also a fan of "I Handed Myself Over to the Country".

　The cancellation of the book "I Hand Myself Over to the Country" angered Deep Sea No. 690.

　"Which stupid human being dares to take my favorite book offline?!" No. 690 cursed, causing a shocking crack in her solid wood desk.

　She pondered for a long time and decided to take some revenge.

　So she contacted her informants working in Shanghai, China - Deep Sea No. 3060 and No. 3070.

　Although No. 690's mission was to conduct intelligence work in Japan, she also deployed a small number of personnel in China.

　"3060, 3070, please reply."

　3060 and 3070 said in unison. "Understood. What are your instructions, Master 690?"

　690: "I'll arrange for you to kill two people."
