"Russia announces the revival of the Soviet-era Kirov-rank nuclear-powered missile cruiser."


    "The Russian Navy unveils itstest shipbuilding n, aiming to build an all-new navalbat group centered around four Kirov-rank nuclear-powered missile cruisers."


    "Peter the Great appears in Moscow, newly renovated, proving the Russian Navy''s words are true."


    Inside a vacation vi in Sochi, Chen Yu sat by the firece reading a newspaper, which featured thetest news from the Russian Navy.


    With Chen Yu''s support, the Russians acted swiftly,unching a news offensive immediately, promoting the reactivation of the Kirov-rank while simultaneously releasing a new shipbuilding n.


    Although Russia had previously released several shipbuilding ns, ambitiously pledging to build aircraft carriers over 100,000 tons, due to financial constraints, those ns remained just that—ns.


    But this time, it''s different.


    While the Kirov-ss was once taken away by Chen Yu to summon ship-girls, this was known only to top officials and relevant intelligence services; to the average person, it remained a Russian-sealed, awaiting scrapping, aged warship.


    Now, with Russia announcing a new shipbuilding n and the revival of the Kirov-rank, it was indeed major news to many.


    Especially for neighboring countries around Russia, a powerful Russia and a declining Russia hold entirely different meanings.


    Most people originally believed this was just another Russian n, never materialized, like the many shipbuilding ns Russia announced over the years, not only failing to materialize but even retiring numerous old warships.


    But the Peter the Great, docked in Moscow after being summoned by Chen Yu as a ship-girl, newly renovated as if built yesterday, became strong evidence that Russia was serious this time.


    Even if Peter the Great was merely repainted by the Russians for face, it indicated that at least the Russian Navy had money for derusting and repainting the ships.


    You know, previously due to budget issues, the Russian Navy had Peter the Great parked in the port, seldom mobilizing this Northern Fleet''s gship.


    This time, not only was Peter the Great sent to Moscow, but it also appeared newly renovated, serving as evidence for Russia''s series of naval expansion ns, undoubtedly making everyone consider whether Russia was really serious this time.


    For neighboring countries around Russia, especially those countries that gained independence after the Soviet Union''s dissolution, a dead Soviet Union and a declining Russia are what they wish to see; no one wants a powerful Pr Bear at their doorstep, even if it''s already emaciated.


    After all, once this Pr Bear regains strength, it surely wants to eat meat.


    Now, with Russia''s series of announcements, everyone feels this Pr Bear seems to genuinely have regained strength to rise this time.


    Although a series of events are rted to Chen Yu, he remains detached, far from Moscow''s whirlpool, vacationing in the scenic Sochi with Jounouchi Hiromi.


    By the firece, Little Yixi, ced on the ground by Chen Yu, was wing at his feet, attempting to climb up to her dad''sp along his pant leg, yet the little girlcked the strength, only managing to rest against Chen Yu''s feet, her chubby little hands scratching tirelessly, unable to grip his pants and climb up.


    Little Yixi didn''t feel discouraged or dissatisfied; instead, she continued her efforts enthusiastically, as if this game would never grow tiresome.


    The other three ship-girls in the room watched the little girl''s earnest effort, involuntarily showing motherly smiles.


    Seeing his daughter repeatedly failing to climb up, Chen Yu ttened his knees, extending both legs straight together, forming a slope, aiding Little Yixi to climb up smoothly.


    Little Yixi seemed puzzled by the change, not understanding why the mountain she was climbing suddenly transformed.


    But after a brief pause, Little Yixi quickly resumed the game, passionately climbing up Chen Yu''s legs, sessfully reaching the top this time.


    Watching his daughter gripping his pants, her little hands trembling as she climbed upward, Chen Yu put down the newspaper, reached out his hands toward her, and shed a big smile.


    Upon seeing her father''s face, Little Yixi giggled joyfully, hastened her climb, and soon reached Chen Yu''s stomach, where he lifted her up.


    "Fly high!" Chen Yu tossed Little Yixi in the air, making the little girlugh more delightfully, seemingly enjoying the game very much.


    Witnessing her delight, Chen Yu grew even happier, standing up to hold his daughter, spinning around, engaging in the airne game.


    Jounouchi Hiromi, who had just returned from skiing outside, seeing Chen Yu spinning with their daughter and asionally tossing her up, hurriedly eximed, "Husband! Be careful! Don''t drop Yixi!"


    "Don''t worry, how could I drop her? Look how much fun she''s having!" Even though Chen Yu reassured with his words, he put his daughter down, ceasing the spins, instead holding Little Yixi in his arms: "Wife, why did you return so early? Didn''t want to ski more?"


    "Ran into someone trying to hit on me, didn''t feel like entertaining them, so I came back." Jounouchi Hiromi replied while taking off her bulky ski suit, handing it to Belfast, who had proactively reached out to take her clothes, while her gaze curiously noticed the other two ship-girls in the room, asking inquisitively, "Who are they? New ship-girls?"


    "This is Kalinin, and that one is Aurora." Chen Yu exined briefly; Kalinin, like the previous Kirov, wore Soviet-style navy uniforms, while Aurora was different, wearing a more ornate Tsarist Russian Navy ceremonial outfit.


    Jounouchi Hiromi nodded, exchanging greetings with the two ship-girls, then took Little Yixi from Chen Yu''s arms, nting a kiss on her tender little cheek.


    "You mentioned someone was hitting on you, who had the audacity?" Chen Yu, curious, asked since the ce where Jounouchi Hiromi went skiing theoretically should have been cordoned off by Russian security personnel; who dared to flirt with Jounouchi Hiromi?


    "No idea, just seemed to be a Japanese." Jounouchi Hiromi shrugged, indicating uncertainty, only noting the person had Asian features and spoke Japanese.
