Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 525 - 251: Causes of the Gulf War

The current time is already June 1953.

Yu Feng found another piece of intelligence, it was the latest, and showed it in front of the camera for the viewers in the live stream:

"The reason for being so certain that the situation over on the Peninsula has ended long ago is because of what happened at the beginning of the month."

"The United States and the Republic have both signed a prisoner exchange agreement."

"The fact that prisoners have been exchanged indicates that they’ve reached the end of their conflict."

"It will soon be completely over."

"By then, everyone will probably be looking for their next opponent."

"The United States is focusing on the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union is guarding against the United States."

As Yu Feng continued to speak, the Blue Star viewers in the live stream understood as well.

Without realizing it, the plot had already jumped to this point, and since both sides have started exchanging prisoners, it indicated that they didn’t plan to continue fighting.

After all, when prisoners are exchanged, they are usually used as bargaining chips in negotiations. Now that they’ve been sent home, it seems the negotiations have mostly concluded.

And that’s indeed the case.

After Yu Feng shared the intelligence, he continued to skip through the plot.

Some other live streams, due to skipping faster, were even ahead of Yu Feng in progress, having already received the news of the end of the [Peninsula Battlefield].

The allied forces of the United States were gradually withdrawing.

The Republic also started to withdraw some forces, though both sides still stationed troops at the Thirty-Eighth Parallel.

Thus.

The [Single Player Story Mode] for the Peninsula Battlefield was considered complete, though the timeline for the [Battlefield of the United States] was only at 1952, and there was still some time before that ended. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At this moment.

Because many national Federation camps were opened, Blue Star players started to experience various regions around the world.

Europe was a key focus.

Because the focal point of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union was here.

Blue Star players chose different countries, beginning new storylines.

As time went on, they gradually sensed the chaotic situation in Europe.

However, this chaotic situation was not quite as many had imagined, surprising even some Blue Star players.

The United States’ provocation was too obvious, essentially inciting rebellion against them.

Therefore, in European countries, many voiced public criticism against the United States, while the Soviet Union pursued diplomatic measures.

They adopted gentle policies and attitudes, making concessions on issues like the Eastern Empire and the Peninsula, at least on the surface.

This was to appease various European countries.

By August.

In Yu Feng’s live stream.

Yu Feng finished organizing the intelligence, with both camps essentially stabilized, and spoke to the live audience:

"Brothers, the situation on ’Earth’ is temporarily stable."

"Still two major camps."

"First, on the Soviet Union camp’s side, their control over European countries is far less than it once was, with increasing independent voices in countries like Poland and Hungary."

"Then, in the Asian region, the Soviet Union and the Republic signed a mutual assistance treaty, strengthening the camp’s overall power."

"The main reason is due to the presence of the Republic, ensuring security in the Southeast Asia region."

"After all, the United States is setting up a global layout, and Southeast Asia is a central node."

"The Soviet Union’s focus has shifted towards strategic deterrence."

"According to the latest reports."

"The Soviet Union has become the second to master and successfully detonate a hydrogen bomb after the United States on ’Earth’."

"This has put it on the same level."

"What the United States has, the Soviet Union also has."

"The nuclear arms race between the two is intensifying."

"Then on the United States side."

"After signing the armistice on the Peninsula, the United States shifted from direct conflict with the Republic to strengthening the East Asia alliance system."

"Firstly, with military bases built in Japan, and the Pseudo Federation in the south of the Peninsula, alongside island chain defense deployments in Southeast Asia."

"The aim is to encircle the Republic."

"At the same time, the United States isn’t resting, promoting the economic growth of Western Europe through the Marshall Plan, while accelerating military deployments in the north just in case."

"Overall, the United States is currently blocking the Republic in Southeast Asia and investing to upgrade military capabilities in Western Europe to counter the Soviet Union."

"At present, ’Earth’ is primarily dominated by these two superpowers."

"However, the choices of smaller countries are quite intriguing."

"Choosing one side inevitably offends the other."

"They must align with one."

"Tsk... A difficult decision indeed."

These two superpowers could nearly destroy the entire world.

Neither side is someone the smaller countries can afford to offend, yet they must choose one to offend.

Yu Feng analyzed the international situation.

Unknowingly, he had become something of a military expert.

....

On the other side.

Inside Polestar Company’s headquarters.

In the president’s office.

Zhao Ming was contemplating opening up some aspects of the Republic to experiences, pondering.

He opened the database to introduce elements of weapon manufacturing into the narrative, along with the Republic’s upcoming projects like the Two Bombs, One Satellite program and aerospace weapons development, and so on.

The main issue was that this era offered limited choices, otherwise, Zhao Ming wouldn’t have to think so much about it.

The main interest of Blue Star players was still the combat experience.

However....

Even though this era had its limitations, it wasn’t devoid of novel and exciting gameplay experiences.

After all, it was all single-player gameplay in [Single Player Story Mode].

After some thought.

Zhao Ming began to search his memory, then... he added more career options in the Republic of this era for Blue Star players to explore.
