Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 568 - 272: Imperial Graveyard

What is this?

Starting directly?

No introduction?

Yu Feng’s mind was filled with question marks, and then he looked around at his surroundings.

In this armed helicopter, aside from a few stern-faced soldiers at the door, the others were clearly Blue Star players because he could hear them talking.

"What the hell? The opening scene is so crazy, I just got in and the plane crashed me to death."

"Polestar is really going big, geez, experiencing being crashed by a plane."

"I’ve been hit by tanks in World War II, run over by armored vehicles, but getting smashed by a plane is a first."

"It’s all done by that terrorist organization, right?"

"So we’re doing counter-terrorism, everyone be careful, we don’t know the situation."

"Who cares, I’m just gonna fire a barrage once we get down."

Listening to the players nearby, Yu Feng noticed that everyone had died differently, but one thing was clear, they all died in the opening scene.

They got a taste of being attacked.

While thinking about it.

The pilot’s voice sounded in everyone’s earphones:

"Three minutes!"

"Everyone prepare."

As the pilot’s voice faded, Yu Feng’s eyes showed a mission prompt:

[Proceed to the Kunar Mountain Area of the Afghanistan Federation, execute a mission to clear out the organization’s base, eliminate the senior commanders within the headquarters, and destroy the small armory.]

With the mission prompt.

Yu Feng looked out the window of the helicopter, below was a small mountain village surrounded by mountains.

The terrain in Afghanistan is mountainous, making it appear desolate and greyish-white, except for a small village within the encircling mountains.

There weren’t many houses, it looked like a sparsely populated place.

But the mission prompt clearly stated there was a senior commander from Al-Qaeda and a small armory below.

Yet you couldn’t see any of these things below.

Because those dilapidated houses looked barely safe for living, let alone hiding weapons.

Seems like everything should be buried underground.

Yu Feng couldn’t help but marvel at the limitless potential of humans to dig a weaponry storage and command room underground.

Yu Feng had learned that Afghanistan was considered a strategic military location.

If the United States occupied Afghanistan.

Then it would be strategically advantageous, both in offense and defense.

Offensively, it could threaten the five Central Asian countries to the north, a region that was... now known as the Russian Federation, Yu Feng remembered that the Soviet Union no longer existed at this time.

It could threaten the backyard of the Russian Federation in the north, the Five Central Asian Countries.

To the east, it could threaten the hinterland of the Republic.

That means if the United States occupied this area, it could directly threaten the backyard of both the Russian Federation and Republic.

And the west goes without saying.

The Iran Federation, so resentful of the United States, is known to everyone on Blue Star.

In the 1991 Gulf War, the Iraq Federation even didn’t defend the Iran Federation’s side, showing how much resentment the Iran Federation held against the United States.

If the United States occupied this area, then there would be another zone threatening the Iran Federation.

Combining with the Iraq Federation, it would effectively surround Iran Federation, this kind of threat would not be simply ignored by the Iran Federation.

While the southern Pakistan and India are quite interesting. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Yu Feng remembered that at the start, during the Cold War era in his storyline, the United States supported Pakistan, while the Soviet Union supported India.

The most evident example was the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization established in 1955, which provided Pakistan with quite a lot of weapons.

The fundamental reason was that the United States used this area as an anchor point.

To constrain the connection between the Soviet Union and the Indian Federation.

But those were matters of the Cold War era, his [Single Player Story Mode] just reached early 1957, while this side was set in 2001.

He didn’t know how the relations between the United States and Pakistan Federation evolved over those decades.

Primarily, Yu Feng didn’t dare to make reckless guesses.

After all, who could foresee that such a large Soviet Union would collapse, and there were numerous role reversals during the Cold War.

The Middle East was the most obvious example.

Despite being backed by the Soviet Union, a Federation turned around and sided with the United States, occupying the Middle East and controlling oil, causing resentment among the Middle Eastern countries towards the United States and the British Federation.

As a result, both sides acted according to the circumstances, directly changing their supported objects.

So right now, Yu Feng couldn’t make assumptions.

However, just based on these facts, one can see the importance of Afghanistan’s location.

Although it is said to be counter-terrorism.

Yu Feng felt it’s also related to the United States’ strategy, as the location is too critical.

But it’s very difficult to handle.

The United States’ modern warfare would be forced back to World War II due to the geographical environment here.

This place is unlike the Iraq Federation with vast plains and lots of oil resources, Afghanistan... it’s all mountains with only a few lands.

And it’s impossible to extract oil from these mountains.

So for just one attack, such a major endeavor clearly doesn’t match the United States’ interests, implying only deeper interests can move them.

Yu Feng was still pondering.

Suddenly, the pilot’s voice came:

"Thirty seconds! Prepare to land!"

The armed helicopter carrying everyone began to descend, a few NPC veterans sitting by the cabin door had completed their final equipment checks.

While the other Blue Star players, including Yu Feng, were swaying around, evidently still not quite accustomed to the helicopter’s landing.
