CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 124: REPUBLIC’S NATIONAL CG MATERIALS (3.4K)

The experts on Blue Star speculated all day, and in the end... Japan pulled a big move in the game.

Are you really going for a surprise attack?

You just messed with the United States of America and then ignored them?

What the hell...

Looking at Japan on the real-time map, the military experts from Blue Star were at their wit’s end.

Even if we haven’t fought a war in hundreds of years, you don’t play like this. Since World War II began, so many illogical things have happened.

Aren’t you just making fools of us?

At the same time, they silently cursed Zhao Ming, the owner of Polestar Company, for designing such a lousy game. It’s too arbitrary and doesn’t follow logic at all.

And that bastard Shi Jun, why did you have to act all superior... it’s fine that you’re finished.

Now, whenever there’s a slight change in the game, the whole world’s netizens are tagging them.

It’s just ridiculous.

The scene shifts back to the real-time map.

Oh, Japan didn’t just do a surprise attack; after all, they split their forces to head to Guam, part of the United States of America in the Pacific Ocean.

However, Japan’s main forces were heading to the Philippines, British Malaya, and Singapore, attacking multiple targets simultaneously on December 8th.

The experts on Blue Star hurriedly gathered information from Southeast Asia.

They analyzed and studied it.

Assisted by the photon supercomputer and combined with the in-game developments, this time they quickly found the reason.

Based on the massive data analysis collected by the photon supercomputer, the conclusion given was.

The root cause should be the resource blockade by the United States of America against Japan within the game.

Because Japan, being an island nation, is short of resources, and in the game, due to some reasons, the United States of America blocked the oil trade with Japan.

As an island nation invading other countries, without oil, the entire battlefield would be paralyzed.

To obtain resources, they either had to negotiate with the United States of America or directly invade Southeast Asia to plunder all the resources there.

Obviously...

Japan chose the latter.

That’s why they first attacked Pearl Harbor, crippling the United States of America’s military power in the Pacific, so the United States of America couldn’t intervene in the Southeast Asian battlefield in the short term.

Then they dispatched a large number of planes and troops to attack the Philippines and British Malaya, these European colonies entangled with the British Commonwealth.

Although Japan on the real-time map had just set off and hadn’t even reached the British territories.

However, the photon supercomputer had already simulated the most probable outcome.

Japan would, in the short term, crazily plunder the resources of these British forces in Southeast Asia to continue their war efforts.

But in the simulation by the photon supercomputer, this situation is a vicious cycle.

Because Japan, as an island nation, has insufficient production capacity, and the plundered resources from this attack are only enough to sustain one wave of operations.

Unable to conduct a ’war of attrition’.

So the final outcome is unlikely to be good.

The military experts on Blue Star modified the results simulated by the photon supercomputer and posted them online, gaining quite a bit of agreement for the time being.

At this time, many people were watching the real-time map on the Polestar Official Website, paying attention to the situation of the war.

The discussions were indeed quite lively.

After all, Blue Star hasn’t had a large-scale war in recent years.

But the war scenarios in this game have embarrassed many military experts, and the entertaining plot has even gotten many non-gamers to join in analyzing the maps.

And over at the Great Xia Federation.

Many military units were also using the latest [Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack] as a case study.

The main analysis wasn’t the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, but the fact that this surprise attack in the Pacific Theater impacted the European Battlefield from thousands of miles away.

It directly harmed the Imperial forces.

Ridiculous yet reasonable, the Great Xia Federation analyzed how the war would affect various aspects.

Songgel Ice Field.

Seventh Special Operations Brigade, headquarters.

Shen Yan sat in the conference room with Chief of Staff Qu Guang, studying the current situations on ’Earth’ and finding it very interesting:

"Tsk..."

"This is much more interesting than those fixed routines in military chess simulations."

"To screw over the Imperial forces from such a distance, what a god-tier teammate."

Qu Guang looked at the real-time map and said:

"Indeed."

"The Imperial situation is worsening."

"Not only did Japan’s actions cause harm, but the Kingdom of Italy’s battlefield in Africa is also on the verge of collapse, hoping for support from the Imperial forces."

"This winter is a good time for the Soviet Union’s counterattack."

"Now only the Asian Battlefield hasn’t opened yet."

"Could you find a chance to ask?"

Qu Guang, knowing Shen Yan’s relationship with Polestar Company, urged Shen Yan to inquire about it, as they’ve had so many experiences in exclusive dungeons of the Republic.

They’ve long been infinitely curious about the Republic.

What kind of country, and what experiences would cultivate such warriors of the Republic?

Shen Yan said:

"I asked before."

"From what Qinghan said, it seems that the Asian region is exclusive to our Great Xia Federation."

"New dungeons will continuously be opened for our Great Xia Federation’s internal military units to practice."

Qu Guang nodded:

"I see..."

"Mainly, the Republic is just too intriguing, how on earth are these warriors trained?"

Just by experiencing the plot alongside these warriors of the Republic, the willpower and close-quarters combat skills of all the participating Blue Star soldiers have significantly improved.

And their mentors were merely ordinary soldiers in the plot of the Republic.

If ordinary soldiers are like this, one can’t imagine the situation throughout the entire Republic.

Shen Yan thought for a moment:

"Why don’t I... find a chance to ask?"

Not only was Qu Guang curious, but he was curious too.

Qu Guang smiled:

"No need to find a chance, just hurry up and ask."

Prompting Shen Yan to ask Shen Qinghan about the in-game background and historical data of the Republic.

...

Afternoon.

Polestar Game Company.

Shen Qinghan walked into Zhao Ming’s office, not for Shen Yan’s matter, but to hand over a contract to Zhao Ming:

"The Crown Prince of the Golden Moon Federation wants to secure the game’s agency within the Golden Moon Federation."

"However, the condition is whether he can be given the highest military rank or directly made the Imperial Leader or the Soviet Union’s Leader."

"The offered condition is 500 million Federation Coins annually."

Zhao Ming, surprised, took the contract and thought about the Golden Moon Federation, then asked:

"Why propose such high conditions?"

"Really have money with no place to spend?"

Lately, he has learned about the Six Major Federations. If compared to Earth, the Slavs there are the Russians, and this Golden Moon Federation... is akin to the Middle East, where they dig oil.

Except here on Blue Star, they dig for new energy.

The connection between the Golden Moon Federation and the Crown Prince, which seem incompatible, has its reasons.

After the meteor shower, it was still the Golden Moon Dynasty, but because of its remote location, upon reconnecting with other regions, it was discovered that others had adopted a federal system.

Domestic calls for reform also echoed everywhere, eventually leading to changes over a dozen years.

The Golden Moon Dynasty transformed into the Golden Moon Federation but retained the royal family, acting as mascots, yet with such foundation, indeed money was not a concern.

Yet spending 500 million to buy a game agency.... really refreshed Zhao Ming’s concept of extravagance.

Indeed.

Perhaps money is truly no issue for them.

Shen Qinghan smiled and said:

"It’s not entirely because of the game."

"This Crown Prince of the Golden Moon Federation originally controlled a top-tier force in another mythological game."

Zhao Ming nodded, understanding.

The president of the most affluent guild in the whole district.

Shen Qinghan continued:

"Not long ago, during a war with other player forces, he was directly defeated by a player called ’Disciple of Guderian’ leading a batch of elites, tearing through his area."

"They took down the Crown Prince’s main city in the Golden Moon Federation."

"Then..."

Shen Qinghan shrugged:

"He began looking worldwide for who Guderian was and quickly found out it was an ’NPC’ in our game."

"Next, he wanted to purchase, offering 5 billion Federation Coins."

"Later, finding he couldn’t buy it, he opted for agency, proposing this condition aiming to become Imperial Leader to learn tactics from Guderian."

"Or to become Soviet Leader to learn tactics from Zhukov, who currently repels Guderian."

Zhao Ming’s mouth twitched:

"Really...."

It’s quite something.

Zhao Ming couldn’t say anything good, so he simply said:

"No problem with this."

"It’s exclusively provided, opening an immersive plot separately for him. The immersive plot doesn’t affect the game’s operation, let him do whatever."

They spent 500 million, opening just an exclusive immersive plot for him.

Zhao Ming felt he was quite crafty, but their requirement was to be the Supreme Leader or Leader, better to fulfill it....

Looked at the contract, found no problem.

Zhao Ming signed it, then opened the Database, set a key, and gave it to Shen Qinghan:

"This key is for the Crown Prince of the Golden Moon Federation to activate in-game."

Still, it’s truly a wealthy spender.

Antarctic Star Federation paid 300 million agency fee, negotiated with that diplomat for days, Golden Moon Federation here just moves a finger for 500 million, truly easy money....

After receiving the key, Shen Qinghan nodded, then asked:

"Oh, by the way."

"The Northern Army wants to ask if there are any scenarios."

"That can experience the Republic’s troop training situation."

Zhao Ming was puzzled:

"Troop training?"

"Aren’t those scenarios effective for their improvement?"

Shen Qinghan said:

"Not us on Blue Star experiencing scenarios, training our troops."

"They want to know if they can see how the Republic trains such warriors."

Zhao Ming understood, thought for a moment, then said:

"This is not about the warriors."

"Do you think given the Republic’s situation at the time, were all warriors trained to reach such a level?"

"Did the Republic at that time have the resources to train each warrior specifically, through training, ideological education?"

"How to say...."

"Probably it’s due to this ethnicity."

"Do you understand?"

"There’s no way to narrate or experience this from a single scenario angle."

"But I could try to create a rapid timeline switch CG, allowing the Northern Army to somewhat feel the reasons."

This matter cannot be explained solely from the warriors’ perspective.

Only by rapidly switching through the entire society, entire ethnic group’s perspective, can one get a rough idea.

That’s why Zhao Ming doesn’t know how to say it.

Shen Qinghan nodded after hearing this, though feeling a bit vague, nodded:

"Alright, I’ll inform them."

Then briefly exchanged about recent company developments, and Shen Qinghan left.

After Shen Qinghan left.

Zhao Ming leaned back in the boss chair, brought up the Earth Database.

Deliberated for a long time.

Viewing from the entire ethnic group’s perspective requires continuously switching different identities, Zhao Ming locked the timeline and then started searching within the Earth Database.

Students... merchants... reform... changes... all the way to the later Songhu.

Until all data were organized, Zhao Ming clicked open the first batch of searched data, preparing to organize it into a CG.

Clicked the first searched student data, a voice of desperate cries came out:

"When the country is in trouble! Every man has a responsibility!!"

This is...

A group of young students from the Republic, aged between teens and twenties at that time.
