Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 542 - 259: The Republic in 1940

It must be said that after experiencing the [World War II] series, the Blue Star players here.

More or less can analyze some things.

At least they got it right about Afghanistan—it’s all mountainous terrain, and if they use guerrilla warfare against the United States, the U.S. would have a hard time.

Plus, the area here is large, unlike Kuwait and the Iraq Federation where you can see everything at a glance.

No matter how powerful the U.S. firepower is, they can’t bomb everywhere in the Afghanistan Federation, because it’s not just a problem of mountains everywhere.

The key issue is that they can’t find people.

Looking around, it’s all mountains, but from the announcements and introductions.

Inside these mountains and beneath the ground, there are pits everywhere.

It’s completely constructed like an underground world.

This is something many Blue Star players did not expect.

If everywhere is like this underground world, then the U.S. counter-terrorism operations might not be so smooth.

Then.

The second part of the announcement revealed the challenge mode.

Players can transform into famous special operations teams like [Green Beret] [Alpha Squad] and undertake challenge missions, or they can transform into [Al-Qaeda] to confront them.

There are single-player challenge modes as well as online confrontation modes.

Looking at the introduction.

It says that only completing the single-player [Green Beret] [Alpha Squad] challenge mode missions will unlock the multiplayer online confrontation mode.

Shi Yong read the introduction saying:

"This setup is quite nice."

"Only after completing the single-player version will the multiplayer online confrontation mode be unlocked."

"Since it’s a special forces team, carrying out missions is surely not easy."

"Only experts can complete it, I suppose."

"This way, when matching the multiplayer mode, teammates will be corresponding experts, rather than a mixed team of novices and veterans."

"The challenge will definitely be sufficient."

The end of the announcement’s introduction states that the [Global Terrorism] DLC version will be updated in 3 days.

Then below, there are many version names and pictures, but clicking on them displays ’Stay Tuned’.

Shi Yong looked down from above.

The picture below the words [Arab Spring] shows a city’s skyline at dawn, one half illuminated by the rising sun on the mosque’s spire, the other half shrouded in smoke and the shadow of fighter jets.

The picture below the words [Proxy War] is a satellite-view battlefield map, the territory divided by red and blue dotted lines, with missile trajectories covering the entire Middle East like a grid on a chessboard.

Looking at the time shown on the picture, it’s all 2010.

The picture below the words [Great Power Expansion] is Moscow Red Square and the Brussels EU Headquarters building shrouded under the same cloud, with faint outlines of nuclear missiles and symbols of wealth in the cloud.

Russian tank columns like a torrent of steel driving from the ice fields towards the European city skyline, the tank barrels twisting into natural gas pipeline patterns. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The drone formation in the picture is diving toward several building templates.

And the time shown on the picture is 2022.

Seeing this.

Blue Star players are a bit surprised.

Wow.

Evolving so fast?

Blue Star players finally noticed something was wrong.

This mark?

Russia?

Where’s the big Soviet Union?

The Blue Star players who noticed something was wrong hurriedly checked the situation inside "Modern War: World Dominator" to confirm that the Soviet Union was still there.

In-game timeline is early 1991, just after the Gulf War ended.

But the Soviet Union was still occupying the North.

So where did this Russia come from?

What happened over those 30 years?

At this moment.

Blue Star players are perplexed.

Although the timeline span is somewhat large, with the size of the Soviet Union, it shouldn’t just disappear, especially with the Republic there.

What exactly happened?

The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room are pondering.

Shi Yong in the live broadcast room suddenly widened his eyes:

"What the heck?"

"What is this???"

The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room haven’t recovered from the Soviet Union yet, when Shi Yong grabbed their attention, they all looked toward Shi Yong in the live broadcast room.

Only to see Shi Yong looking at the background and text of the three images at the bottom.

The first marked with the label 1996 [Taiwan Strait Crisis].

And the image shows several army howitzers spread in battle stance on the deck of a modified landing ship, their barrels pointed skyward.

The background is a deep blue sea and an orange-red sunset, the brakes on the muzzle shining coldly in the twilight.

From the flag in the picture, it can be seen that this is the Republic in 1996.

The impact of this image is not minor.

One should know that the just-concluded Gulf War storyline had the U.S.’s technology sweeping through the Middle East, and Blue Star players subconsciously perceived an increase in other countries’ and Federations’ technology.

But seeing this image from 1996, they found it seems not exactly so.

This is the Republic....

Followed immediately by the image labeled 2016 [Lonely Ship Deep Blue].

This image made the Blue Star players feel it was somewhat similar.

Except that the disparity in military strength remains vast.

On one side is a Republic aircraft carrier and escort formation, while on the opposite side are two U.S.-led aircraft carrier formations drawing closer, from the image.

It suddenly gives a feeling that the Republic is going solo.

Seeing this.

Shi Yong here regained some composure and spoke:

"This is more reasonable."

"The first image feels quite discontinuous, the U.S. in 1991 has already engaged in modern warfare with the Iraq Federation."
