Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 535 - 255: [How the United States Fooled the Whole World]

Chapter 535: Chapter 255: [How the United States Fooled the Whole World]

Logically, a Federation armed to this level.

They’ve got the steel flood, surely they have the foresight, don’t they?

....

On the other side.

Polestar Game Company Headquarters.

Inside the President’s Office.

It’s a few days away from the game’s launch, and currently the hype for "Modern War: World Dominator" remains high, though the growth rate is somewhat slower compared to the first day.

Zhao Ming was sitting in front of his desk, looking through the game’s data.

Moreover, while there are plenty of positive comments in the game review section, there are even more complaints from veteran players who suffered defeats and some confused new players.

There are also many players asking Polestar to continue releasing the storyline, fearing that the Iraq Federation will be dealt with soon, what’s next?

Across the desk.

Shen Qinghan was also browsing through the game reviews, looking at the comments, among which a gripe was that the Iraq Federation seemed unable to fight.

Sending all their forces to Kuwait, neglecting their own nation.

Is this really what an army and leaders tempered by eight years of bloody warfare can accomplish?

Having always been invested in the new game, Shen Qinghan naturally knew, and after being influenced by war games for a long time, he too found Iraq’s operation puzzling, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Have you seen the most discussed comment online?"

"Why did the Iraq Federation send so many troops, all to Kuwait?"

"Is it a premise?"

Deploying over 70% of their national military to Kuwait, which is only 1/24th the size of their homeland, leaving their own territory with almost no defensive troops.

Trusts their neighbor this much?

Or are they certain that the opposing Iran Federation and the United States hold grudges against each other, so they won’t backstab?

Zhao Ming looked up, smiled at Shen Qinghan and said:

"Not at all."

"If you pay more attention to the game’s public sentiment information, you’ll notice...."

As he spoke.

Zhao Ming opened the [Public Sentiment War] module in the game forum, filled with newspaper and news screenshots from both the United States and the Iraq Federation engaging in a public sentiment war.

Clicking a few to project onto the desk, Zhao Ming continued:

"Check out the propaganda from the United States, look at it."

Shen Qinghan looked up, only to see several screenshotted newspapers marked with different times, spanning from August 1990 to January 1991.

Initially, the United States condemned Iraq Federation’s invasion of Kuwait.

Later, after forming joint forces, the United States declared liberating Kuwait as their strategic objective.

Shen Qinghan looked at the newspapers, frowning slightly, pondering for a moment:

"Is Kuwait the core issue?"

Because from start to finish, in these newspapers, it’s always the United States talking about Kuwait here.

Zhao Ming nodded and said:

"Exactly."

"It’s all about Kuwait."

"Everyone has been deceived by the United States."

"Including the Iraq Federation."

"From these newspapers’ news, you can see that the United States’ core goal was to liberate Kuwait."

"If the aim was liberating Kuwait."

"Then from Iraq Federation’s perspective, as long as they hold Kuwait, resist the United Nations forces from the United States, they achieve ultimate victory."

"The reason players found something amiss is because the storyline surrounding World War II just concluded with the Peninsula War." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Additionally, due to the United States’ recent conflicts with the Soviet Union."

"All players know that the United States doesn’t rise early without a profit, how could they shout such righteous slogans?"

"But in this timeframe."

"The United States’ focus has always been on Europe, although they have intervened in the Middle East Region, they haven’t directly participated in war."

"This led the Iraq Federation to not be familiar with the United States, not considering themselves a major threat to the United States."

"This time, the United States’ reaction was beyond Iraq Federation’s expectations."

"However, they didn’t use the utmost malice to speculate, simply thinking it’s the United States standing up for Kuwait Federation, so just holding Kuwait would suffice."

"As long as the United States withdraws, then Kuwait officially belongs to them."

"But they didn’t think that the United States wasn’t kindly liberating Kuwait."

"If you speculate with maximum malice, guess what the United States really wants?"

Upon hearing, Shen Qinghan said without hesitation:

"Oil."

No one understands the importance of resources better than the Blue Star People, especially after getting accustomed to the infinite resources of Blue Star, entering the game’s ’Earth’ with its limited resources in the storyline world.

What’s most important is beyond a doubt.

Zhao Ming nodded and said:

"Yes, it’s oil."

"Clearly, the United States is targeting the oil of Iraq Federation and Kuwait Federation."

"But almost everyone has been deceived."

"Because the United States initially portrayed themselves as defenders of world peace, the righteous leader spending money and efforts to liberate Kuwait."

"Even Iraq Federation itself was deceived by the United States."

"So now Iraq Federation is being duped, putting all their forces to stubbornly defend Kuwait."

"But in reality, the United States has always had their eyes on the desert, which combined with Iraq Federation and Kuwait Federation accounts for 20% of the world’s oil reserves."

"Looking from this angle, you will find Iraq Federation is now on the brink of death."

"Because to control the oil here, develop the United States’ dominator system."

"They must dismantle Iraq Federation’s army, destroy Iraq Federation’s domestic control, turning this place into a chaotic land."

"Only this way, the United States can conveniently intervene."

"Concerning the other surrounding Federations, they don’t have the United States’ capability."

"After all, if they can’t even defeat Iraq Federation, how could they possibly overcome the United States which destroyed Iraq Federation."

"Once this area becomes chaotic, it will be logical for the United States to control here, and they’ll gain a good reputation."

Shen Qinghan was rendered speechless, looking at those projected newspapers.

Dark, very dark indeed....

The scheming runs so deep, the most critical is that not many have realized thus far.

This is just absurd.

Just to say that the United States’ early camouflage was done extremely well, even after fighting to this point, Iraq Federation and many Federations worldwide believe they arrived to liberate Kuwait indeed.

In reality, the United States had long set its sights on the Middle East here.

Without destroying Iraq Federation, how could they achieve oil hegemony, especially given that the current United States leader made their fortune in the oil trade.

A United States president who built their fortune via oil commerce eyeing the oil-producing region is rather normal... it’s all for business.

Just transitioning from family business to national-level enterprise.

After explaining the complexities to Shen Qinghan, Zhao Ming opened the database and began to expand the follow-up DLC data.

He also watched the players’ opinions, aware that the Gulf War is suitable only for short-term experience.

After all, it was fought quickly itself.

In 43 days, it was flattened by the United States, and within a day it was about to break the French Federation’s record from World War II.

Shen Qinghan glanced over, asked:

"Is this the follow-up DLC?"

Zhao Ming responded:

"They’re all new DLCs."

"Subsequent updates will come one version at a time."

"The Gulf War only acquainted Blue Star players with the rhythm of modern warfare, experience the dimensional reduction strike of modern warfare."

"afterwards will demonstrate wars of similar magnitude, and special operations."

Saying this, Zhao Ming showed Shen Qinghan the latest DLC being produced.

[Modern War: Global Counter-Terrorism]

The projected scene was still the Middle East Region, but now extremely desolate.

In the scene, United States special forces equipped with high-tech gear incongruent with this barren region, are preparing to attack the city ahead.

Behind these special forces are heavily armed helicopters loaded with ammo.

The other side of the scene relied on complex terrain, even tying bombs to civilians, ready to destroy everything at any moment rebels.

Walls were covered with ’anti-American slogans’ along with scattered ammo boxes and crudely crafted bombs.

Contrasting starkly with the various high-tech and the hovering armed helicopters from the United States.

The upper part of the screen showed the year 2001.

years have passed since the current game storyline’s 1991.

From the images.

Evidently, the United States’ plan in 1991 hadn’t gone smoothly.....
