Therefore, most of the time, you can see a group of Slavic women and children carrying buckets at intersections, waiting to collect water together. After all, labor is very cheap here.

Therefore, the Nikolaev Forward Command issued a nationwide mobilization order to the rear:

"First, a general winter mobilization will be launched."

"Secondly, everyone who knows about photovoltaics started going to wastelands to learn how to install photovoltaic systems to ensure basic electricity use. First, collective photovoltaic construction was carried out, and then individual photovoltaic systems were distributed to each household to build on their rooftops."

Ukraine does have solar power. Just north of Fedorivka village, where the major battle took place the day before yesterday, there is a field densely covered with solar panels, serving as a basic guarantee for electricity supply.

"Third, organize at least 2 people to take turns entering the waterworks to restart and clean up the silt, ensuring the basic supply of water. This will allow all citizens to have at least 18 hours of safe water."

Water supply is also a major problem. The waterworks need to be restored, and the power plant needs to be repaired first, followed by the waterworks.

In addition to that, there is the issue of road construction.

Since it's winter anyway, and we're not farming, the best option to prevent drunkards from drinking, bragging, and beating their wives is to get them out to work.

However, this would lower the birth rate, since drunkards who finish work would either drink or sleep when they get home. Therefore, everyone thoughtfully announced that they could go home as soon as they finished work each day, since there was no electricity at home anyway, so they could go have babies.

The forward command simultaneously issued the following instructions:

"Try to resume production at iron ore and coal mines, and control the pipelines through which Russia exports natural gas to the Balkans. The pipelines are right within our control, and we can use the natural gas there ourselves. Restart the natural gas power plants."

Under such requirements, hundreds of thousands of workers across the country were all integrated, and their personal skills, work experience, and whether they had drug addictions or criminal records were all entered into a comprehensive assessment chart for the command to calculate.

For example, at the Nikolayev shipyard, several transport ships that remained in the dry dock were excavated and repaired.

The resident political secretary in charge of supervision said sternly:

"Don't even mention an old man, even a dog would stand up with its nose in its nose! Otherwise, it would be skinned alive and made into a dog-skin hat."

This refers to the old guard dog at the factory gate. One sentence startled the old dog so much that it hurriedly crawled out of its kennel to stand guard.

The political commissar's stern instructions:

"We must ensure that 100% of our human resources are dedicated to this war."

The Chinese and Ukrainian workers below seemed relatively calm.

Some people even joked:

"In other words, we have already eliminated unemployment here."

As long as there are more jobs than people, there will be no unemployment, and everyone will have to work overtime.

"Are you criticizing the Soviet Union again?"

Everyone laughed.

In this vast forest and barren land, capital markets and world trade are indeed too far removed from Ukraine.

To maintain basic social order in such an apocalyptic world, the church needs to coordinate at the grassroots level. To quickly replenish the population and facilitate matchmaking for single men and women, low-cost group marriage becomes the best option.

Rapid mass marriages mean a large number of newborns, a greater demand for maternity hospitals, and deeper intervention in social governance. This also necessitates consideration of water, electricity, gas, coal, steel, and road infrastructure.

When war breaks out with the enemy, tank repair shops, armory repair shops, logistics supply centers, and even gun repair shops and artillery factories are revived.

It was soon discovered that this model of collective mobilization did indeed eliminate unemployment, because everyone was a cog in the grand plan, ensuring that all sectors of social production were under the command of the headquarters.

Those who look familiar already seem very familiar.

Collectivization seems to be the only way out for Ukraine.

For the local Ukrainians, the middle-aged and elderly were already quite familiar with the scene. They received familiar job assignments and saw the return of wages and heavy machinery factories. Even 70-year-old women received orders to sweep the streets and were given wages.

Because the current situation is quite complicated, wages are actually recorded in work points, but what is actually distributed to the people are rice, flour, cooking oil, and various electronic industrial products, as well as ensuring the supply of water, electricity, and gas.

Some people are even asking, "The old Soviets are back again?"

It's a difficult question for most people to answer.

After all, this collective mobilization model is just a production model.

However, the Communist Party members who had been lying in wait in southwestern Ukraine gradually resumed their activities and began to make secret contact with the Central Committee of the United Nations forces in order to see what they were up to.

Meanwhile, in the forward command, the computing center that controlled the allocation of more than two million people was still repeatedly using AI-assisted calculations to measure shipbuilding capacity, port transportation and loading/unloading capacity, combat capabilities, and to allocate resources for production and warfare.

When Hu Zhantian saw Europe accusing the Chinese of "creating a second Ukrainian crisis," and the Kyiv Times following suit with reports that "the Chinese have invaded, just as the Mongols came from the East," he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

"What's it to us? Did we kill the people of Ukraine? No, the Russians did. Did we create the refugees in Ukraine? No, the Russians did. They dare not hate the United States, dare not hate Russia, but they hate us. They deserve a beating. If it were 1000 years ago, we would have enslaved them and sold them to the Roman Empire."

Everything we see now is a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It's Russia's doing.

This brings us to the issue of nationalism in Ukraine against the coalition forces.

Everyone suggested:

"Currently, we are considering contacting Communist Party members in southwestern Ukraine to expand social governance."

The Communist Party won't fall for this trick, but it's worth a try.

The main obstacle to accepting immigrants to supplement the male labor force is the local neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine. Their monkey-like version of Hitler's theories are utterly worthless and uncombustible garbage in the 21st century, and they are also dog shit that Russian neo-Nazis picked up from American neo-Nazis.

Hu Zhantian said coldly:

"The church is our strong backing. We must cooperate with the church to suppress every single one of these neo-Nazis with racist prejudices!"

Compared to the Communist Party, the church has a more solid foundation of popular support.

Yes, as a traditional, conservative establishment church, it is actually a group that doesn't care much about the issue of racism.

Because even before modern racism, the church was already a world-class inter-racial religious center. This is one reason why many people say the Communist Party is similar to a red religious organization.

Many outside observers often criticize the Roman Catholic Church, assuming that Rome would never allow a black pope. In reality, for the Church, race is a relatively unimportant factor among clergy; what the Church truly cares about is religious ideology. As long as one is a reformer and progressive, a black pope is not a problem.

How can we gain the support of the church?

Those in command who were unfamiliar with the situation were quite perplexed.

Manager Alex told them: "Your Lin isn't thinking about you, your Lin isn't here..."

"The church also has ideological disputes. The religious ideological disputes within the church are of paramount importance."

The current Roman Catholic Church places great importance on the struggle between religious ideologies, forcefully suppressing old-fashioned, medieval conservative church thought and promoting the modernization of the church system. The conservative anti-abortion theories and anti-intellectualism are simply too absurd and unsuitable for modern people. The previous Pope Francis, a veteran of liberation theology, was a driving force behind modernization reforms. However, this also led to a backlash from conservatives within the church.

To achieve ideological unity, Roman Catholics have made numerous efforts, such as establishing diplomatic relations between the Vatican and China, and recognizing and dually restricting ecclesiastical appointments. One reason for this is that the Chinese Catholic Church has gradually become a stronghold for the conservative faction within the Catholic Church, and the Roman Catholic Church hopes to prevent it from becoming too conservative. The exclusion of electoral rights is also a way to prevent the election of a conservative pope. It would be darkly ironic if Chinese clergy living in modern society elected a conservative pope who is anti-abortion, anti-intellectual, and insists that women wear headscarves and veils.

(The problem of religious groups in China often reverting to conservatism is quite similar to the modernization dilemmas faced by Islam. Even the Catholic Church and Buddhism are no exception. This is an extremely complex issue requiring extensive and multifaceted discussion.)

The church in Ukraine, of course, is fighting against modernization on the issue of conservatism.

This time, however, the coalition chose to support moderate conservative tendencies and use anti-modern church ideology to deal with Nazism and racism.

Specifically, it involves using the argument that "Chinese people are also members of the church and receive the Lord's grace, so why can't they settle in Ukraine?" to suppress the idea that "Ukraine belongs to Ukrainians."

Soon, high-ranking members of the Eastern Church also arrived in Nikolayev.

Father Ivan, leading the church's bishops, priests, and altariciaries, proposed a governance goal of cracking down hard on the dregs of society, in light of social governance issues.

"Socialism has its new morality; the church has its traditional morality. But neo-Nazis, drug dealers, human traffickers, thieves, robbers, and other social scum have absolutely no morality! It is reasonable and appropriate to strike hard against these immoral social dregs like autumn frost and a cold wind! They should all be sent to collective farms and mines for punitive labor!"

Father Ivan never imagined that he, a mere marginalized bean sprout in his parish who would never make any progress, would one day achieve such great skill.

Therefore, he obeyed the orders of the coalition forces.

It's just about promoting immigrant integration; the church has always been familiar with this approach.

Ukraine's current situation dictates that it must absorb immigrants to promote production recovery, but Russia is already a mortal enemy, and Poland wants to annex western Ukraine. Seeking help from China outside the region is a reasonable choice.

Thus, the Eastern Church began to absorb various churches in Odessa and Nikolaev regions, under the banner of 'restoring social order,' and accepted priests and church officials from all walks of life who were moderate and conservative.

After several days of religious conferences, the Church of the East announced the merger of all churches in Odessa and Nikolaev, becoming the sole church in the area.

Their method for uniting the church and its members is:

"Crack down on drug traffickers, human traffickers, and gun dealers!"

Those who recognize the face will probably shout:

"Damn it, crackdown!"

In this cold winter, even the scum of society are huddled in their city homes.

It's perfect for wiping them out all at once.

Under the guidance of grassroots clerics and Communist Party members, the Allied Forces launched a massive campaign to "clean up the three traffickers".

Drug kingpin, kill.

Kill the human trafficker leader.

Gun dealer leader, kill.

In the cold winter, the execution ground became the happiest place for everyone, as one after another, gang leaders were sent to the execution ground by firing squad.

As bullets felled the disruptors of public order one by one, the people quickly submitted.

Ultimately, Ukrainian nationalism has a rather unclean origin and is quite empty in content. The fact that they single out Bandera for worship, without even tracing back to Petliura, the Black Army, and Makhno, reveals its true nature. Furthermore, Ukraine is a country composed of a diverse mix of ethnicities in a border region, lacking a consistent foundation on racial issues.

At the same time, the church must also conduct internal ideological rectification.

This time, the targets are not the "three traffickers," but rather the purge of the church of "racists contaminated by neo-Nazis," "participants suspected of human trafficking," and "other corrupt and criminal opportunists who have infiltrated the church for profit and lost their faithful faith in God."

To be precise, it was actually a purge of the 'Kiev sect,' that is, the group of priests who were devoted to Kiev.

Those who recognize them will shout again:

"I'll overthrow the counter-revolutionaries!"

Indeed, this was a purge targeting within the church.

What if the people of the Kyiv sect cause trouble?

Father Ivan not only introduced 'religious police' to purge the Kiev religiousists within the church, but also introduced 'church guards' armed with militia regiments to protect the church and prevent pro-Kyiv Ukrainian believers from causing trouble.

Ultimately, Odessa Oblast and Nikolaev Oblast together cover only about 7 square kilometers and have an economic population of two million. After arresting tens of thousands of various dissidents, the two oblasts and 11 counties quickly returned to calm.

Communist Party members and priests together formed grassroots governance units, carrying out a peculiar but not conflicting form of social healing.

However, the surrounding states consider this already very serious.

The church carried out a comprehensive purge in the parish, and the Allied forces dispatched political secretaries to various counties. Police patrols appeared in every town and city. Drug traffickers, human traffickers, gun dealers, and the black market were wiped out. Criminals and priests who opposed the Oriental Church were also sent to farms for forced labor.

They instinctively felt fear:

"Something's not right. What exactly are you trying to rebuild?"

……

Meanwhile, in Tokyo.

Li Xinghe, who didn't care what Ukraine was doing, led a group of social elites to Yokosuka Port to observe the arrival of two new aircraft carriers.

The Yamato and Musashi were launched into the water one after the other.

These two Nimitz-class conventional-powered modernized aircraft carriers, with a length of 330 meters, four elevators, a centrally located island superstructure, conventional power, a capacity of 75 fighter jets, and a full displacement of 4 tons, slowly appeared on the horizon.

The most distinctive feature is that the American-style clothesline has been replaced with an integrated mast, topped with a large, spinning ball.

These two behemoths, which had been under repair for more than a year, slowly approached the No. 2 and No. 3 docks in Yokosuka Port, which were under expansion, under the protection of tugboats. They stood in a row with the Tamamo-no-Mae, which was already docked in the No. 1 dock, the Enterprise in the No. 4 dock, and the Lexington and Saratoga, which were officially laying keel blocks in the No. 5 and No. 6 docks in preparation for cutting steel plates for construction.

Only the Shinano, with a full displacement of only 50,000 tons, could only stand at a distance, watching its sister ships lying in the dock, while it had no right to enter the dock itself.

The Japanese ship is currently undergoing repairs in Shanghai, essentially returning to its "home base" every day.

Yamato and Musashi will undergo outfitting here for six months, then gradually begin sea trials. They will be able to officially serve in the Allied Forces about a year later, and achieve full combat capability a year and a half later.

Putting aside the major drawback of 'extensive use of civilian technology', these two aircraft carriers symbolize the great success of the coalition's armed forces, which went from being cobbled together to being built independently.

Li Xinghe, hands on his hips, boasted to the reporters:

"I never imagined that our country's weapons development has progressed to this point."

The reporters rolled their eyes.

Didn't you do all of this? What didn't you think of?

Then Zhang Xiaoqian, who was standing next to him, immediately coughed and started clapping.

Everyone quickly clapped and applauded:

"Cluck cluck~"
