CHAPTER 99: CHAPTER 94: [BLUE OF THE REPUBLIC], MODERN WARFARE (2.4K)

Zhao Ming nodded, thought for a moment, and said:

"Modern warfare is still too far away."

"My suggestion is that the soldiers from the Federation fully participate in the entire ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’ to get familiar with the battlefield."

"Meanwhile, I’m going to open various exclusive instances."

"By progressing through the timeline, they can feel the changes in warfare, gradually transitioning to modern warfare."

"For example, the timeline within World War II is currently 1942, while the timeline for the Bloody Battle of Sanshuli is 1950."

"Different times mean different evolutions in warfare strategy."

"Because Blue Star has been peaceful for so long."

"Suddenly getting Federation soldiers involved in modern warfare scenarios, even though the equipment has advanced, their tactical thinking may not have evolved."

"If a real fight happens, they might be caught off guard."

"Modern warfare is far more complex than during WWII."

"It includes anti-terrorism and proxy wars, precision drone strikes, public opinion and cognitive warfare, rapid decapitation operations, integrated air-sea strikes, cyber warfare, and cognitive warfare, etc...."

"These are all tactics of modern warfare."

"Many don’t solely rely on weapons and equipment to win."

On Blue Star, everyone has large-scale weapons, but they don’t use them; in small-scale clashes, they don’t use high-power weapons either, only differing by which side’s soldiers have better individual combat strength.

Many people don’t realize that war lacks any logic.

Just like many military experts, looking from a third-person perspective, find the ’Dunkirk Evacuation’ to be ridiculous, but reality is this bizarre.

People only guess towards rational directions and don’t consider other problems.

In this case, dropping Blue Star’s soldiers into modern warfare scenarios.... the picture is too amazing.

Making scenarios from the ’Gulf War,’ ’Afghanistan War,’ ’Ukraine Conflict’ on Blue Star would be facing tactics never seen before, collapse would be inevitable.

Not to mention scenarios like ’Blue of the Republic’ which are exceptionally unconventional.

Just leaving a safe zone and facing tactical nuclear strikes, who can bear that, and this is a game, it truly can simulate the effects of tactical nuclear strikes.

If one truly participates....

Other scenarios like the ’Gulf War’ or ’Ukraine Conflict,’ due to the number of people involved and complexity, can’t be done right now.

But ’Blue of the Republic’ won’t consume much Emotion Value.

The main thing is it doesn’t need that much information about people, just need to create a large map and manifest a Blue Army Brigade, equipping it with tactical nuclear strike capability.

Zhao Ming thought for a while and said:

"I can actually create a modern warfare scenario."

"It’s just that this scenario is a bit difficult."

"It doesn’t involve public opinion, cognitive warfare, cyber warfare, those things, purely ’firepower’ strikes."

"If you want to try it."

"I can find some time recently to make it."

Shen Qinghan nodded and said:

"Alright."

"Is there an introduction to the scenario?"

Zhao Ming showed a smile:

"It’s the same ’Blue of the Republic’ you’ve seen before."

"In ’Bloody Battle of Sanshuli,’ the Republic was just established, and in ’Blue of the Republic,’ the Republic has been established for over seventy years."

"You can think about what changes have occurred in the Republic’s army over these seventy years."

Shen Qinghan was taken aback, thinking of the ’Bloody Battle of Sanshuli’ CG, where Republic soldiers ran with only their legs, seventy years later.... Shen Qinghan shook his head and said:

"I can’t imagine, I’m not a professional."

"Let the Federation Army think about it."

"They’ve experienced it, leave it to their thinking."

Zhao Ming nodded, smiled, and said:

"That works too."

"But just a reminder, in ’Blue of the Republic,’ this Blue Army Brigade has tactical nuclear strike capability."

"So by participating, the Federation Army might be wiped out unexpectedly."

Shen Qinghan said:

"Alright, I’ll inform them."

...

...

Evening.

Great Xia Federation, Songgel Ice Field.

Seventh Special Operations Brigade, headquarters.

Shen Yan looked at the documents with a smile on his face. Ever since the livestream video went viral, praises for the Seventh Special Operations Brigade haven’t stopped online.

And Shen Yan’s smile hasn’t stopped either.

At this moment.

The conference room door was opened, Chief of Staff Qu Guang walked in:

"What’s up, Old Shen."

Shen Yan handed Qu Guang the ’Blue of the Republic’ document, Qu Guang took it and looked, his eyes lit up:

"A modern warfare scenario?"

"Quite interesting."

World War II indeed trains the willpower, but lacks real-time communication, posing difficulties in command, making it hard for those accustomed to high tech.

Shen Yan said:

"Look at the brigade’s configuration - main battle tanks, self-propelled howitzers, rocket launchers, fighter jets, even nuclear strike capability."

"If we engage, how should we fight?"

Qu Guang was somewhat taken aback:

"That’s too comprehensive, isn’t it?"

"A brigade like an entire army."

"In a real fight, it’s hard to say who would win. Forget the rest, how does it have fighter jets and nuclear strike capability?"

"Is this the setup for a brigade?"

"Even just nuclear strike capability makes it invincible."

Shen Yan glanced at Qu Guang:

"That’s just the setup, what can be done."

"This scenario’s timeline is after ’Bloody Battle of Sanshuli,’ the Republic founded 70 years ago."

Qu Guang gasped:

"70 years?"

"Developed like this???"

Qu Guang looked at the main battle tanks, rocket launchers, fighter jets, even nuclear strike.... comparing it to the recently founded Republic in ’Bloody Battle of Sanshuli.’

The changes are tremendous.

Qu Guang studied the document for a while:

"Aside from nuclear strike capability, the rest can be dealt with. But we shouldn’t be too unlucky, right?"

"The document shows 32 units participating in the scenario."

"Nuclear strikes can’t drop 32 nukes, otherwise what’s the point?"

"So.... it’s a gamble."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and said:

"Indeed."

"All we can do is gamble, but regarding these equipment."

"We still need to discuss some tactics."

"This time we can’t embarrass ourselves, participating in the scenario with other brother units."

Qu Guang nodded:

"Alright, don’t worry."

Qu Guang went to arrange a meeting to study tactics.

While Shen Yan picked up the document again, filled with curiosity.

What will the Republic’s army look like after 70 years?

He pondered a moment, still couldn’t imagine, but the shock from the Republic volunteer soldiers kept flashing in his mind.

Night.

’Songgufeng Sniper Battle’

’Checkpoint Review: 2 hours 13 minutes (First large-scale air strike)’

On the positions at Songgufeng.

Bombers whizzed through the sky, dropping bombs like raindrops that blossomed on the positions. Shen Yan led two Seventh Special Operations Brigade soldiers hiding in the trenches.

Shen Yan looked at the planes sweeping across the sky, suddenly said:

"What do you think.... the Republic forces 70 years later, what will they be like?"

The two Seventh Special Operations Brigade soldiers exchanged a glance, not clear what was meant, but amid the deafening explosions, a shout from the nearby trench gave Shen Yan the answer:

"By then! We’ll surely have planes and cannons too!"

...

...

A few days later.

The contrast videos and hype between Great Xia Federation and Antarctic Star Federation in the scenario began to fade.

But the resulting aftershocks were still spreading, many other Federation armies or Great Xia Federation armies, started life-risking training during this period.

And of course, players and netizens were unaware of this.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on ’Kyiv.’

Because as the large force south of Kyiv was surrounded and eliminated, the third-largest city of the Soviet Union, ’Kyiv,’ also fell into its last struggle before being surrounded.

The game also opened up the ’Battle of Kiev (Limited-Time)’ multiplayer option.
