Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 573 - 274: [The Buried Imperials]

At the same time, the guns in the hands of the United States soldiers fired.

The intense gunfire stopped after a few seconds.

And that organization member was riddled with bullets, while the soldiers on the US side were not hit due to their bulletproof vests, but the impact stunned them for a moment.

Yang Feng was quickly bandaging his wounds.

But given the situation, they couldn’t just stay here, who knows if reinforcements from the organization would arrive soon.

Yang Feng quickly bandaged his arm and joined the team.

Preparing for a new round of battle.

....

A few days later.

It’s been nearly a week since the new version of the DLC launched.

At this point, the players from Blue Star were gradually getting used to the rhythm within [Global Anti-terrorism], focusing on intense action, fight and die.

The early difficulty of anti-terrorism can be imagined.

Since the server opened, within a week, the players had died at least two or three times.

You can imagine how fierce the battles were.

But there were also some players who survived while their teammates were all dead, and they were promoted as a result.

Meanwhile, some Blue Star players also discovered something odd.

This is supposed to be anti-terrorism.

But the military expenses on the US side are way too high, right?

In recorded gameplay,

unexpectedly found a receipt, $16,000 for a refrigerator was forgettable, but what’s with the $3 million biochem toilet?

Is this thing edge-trimmed with gold?

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

With Blue Star players’ investigation over the past few days... they seem to be destined to suffer.

Shit!

This situation really needs some anti-war sentiment.

Damn!

We are fighting against organization members fiercely on the front lines, dying multiple times within seven days, while those high-ranking officials of the US military are using toilets worth over $3 million.

They are more valuable than a player’s life in the game!

The US sets the compensation for soldiers sacrificed during anti-terrorism missions at $100,000.

But using a toilet equals the lives of 30 US soldiers.

This is just...

Turns out playing this game, it’s still the same story.

In World War II, politicians fooled people into their deaths, resulting in merchants and politicians becoming wealthy while millions of civilians died.

Now it follows the same pattern.

Players who have been engaged in Polestar Games naturally understand the currency unit within ’Earth,’ and indeed currently, US Dollar is one of the most valuable currencies globally.

And it’s also one of the most widely circulated currencies.

$3 million toilet, this level of luxury is beyond Blue Star players’ imagination.

But since it’s already known internally.

Some Blue Star players started to get creative, if that’s the case, why not join in?

Let’s see if enduring till the end can lead to promotion.

How much US Dollar can be gained within this [Global Anti-terrorism] DLC?

The challenge was initiated by one player, sharing his account and name, along with his current role and match within the storyline.

Currently, he is a temporary vice-captain.

Because most others have died and are waiting for more reinforcements, while also shouting out if other players have any useful intelligence, hoping for sharing.

As long as they are not in the same match, maybe it can still be useful.

This proposal brightened the eyes of other Blue Star players.

Indeed.

This can be worthy.

Because situations in different matches are varied, the stronghold found in this match might not be useful here, but by informing players in other matches.

When others have yet to discover, they can strategize in advance.

This time’s Polestar [Global Resistance] DLC isn’t a single-player campaign mode but a [multiplayer campaign mode] where dying in one match allows players to restart as other surviving NPCs.

So each match doesn’t have many people.

It gives Blue Star players a chance to exploit loopholes, collect intelligence from past matches, and earn rewards and recognition in their own subsequent matches.

Zhao Ming noticed this situation but didn’t meddle much.

After all, it still depends on the background.

Although these Blue Star players might use intelligence early on to gain merits and then join in,

But there is an upper limit to this level.

Once reached, wanting to climb further requires connections and background.

Not to mention the US isn’t shy on probing into corruption and luxury matters.

Ultimately, it’s the Blue Star players might be the scapegoats, as they lack the background, if not them then who, considering how many auditors have died.

The insanity within the US, as imagined.

....

On another front.

In Yu Feng’s live stream room.

Having streamed [Global Anti-terrorism] for two days, he finally remembered his old trade with the [World War II] series of intelligence.

So he spent over four days to skip the storyline and organize intelligence.

Only on Sunday, did he prepare to drop big news.

At this moment.

Yu Feng’s timeline had reached early 1959, and the world’s conflicts and situations within ’Earth’ were even more chaotic, but Yu Feng left the bigger picture for last.

Instead, he pulled out a file on Afghanistan, smiling at the Blue Star viewers in the live stream:

"Brothers, have you been immersed in [Global Resistance] DLC lately."

"I have information here, about Afghanistan Federation."

"Today we’ll talk about this ’Empire’s Graveyard’."

"As for why it’s called ’Empire’s Graveyard,’ you’ll soon understand, and who knows if the United States will end up defeated here."

"Earlier, we’ve discussed how Afghanistan Federation strategically pressures surrounding countries."

"This is modern times."

"What if it was ancient times?"

"This is the center of the Eurasian continent, connecting the Indian Federation, Persian Federation, and Central Asia; a natural corridor for trade and military with layered historical value."

"According to data I’ve researched from multiple countries, starting with Alexander’s invasion in 329 B.C., it’s become an empire’s graveyard."

"This was the endpoint of Alexander’s eastward expedition."

"The attrition warfare in Afghanistan Federation weakened the Macedonian expeditionary forces."

"This was the first empire to suffer defeat here."

"Followed closely by long-term tug-of-war battles with the Arab Empire, ultimately leading to the collapse of several Arab dynasties while there remained untouched here."

"During Huaxia’s Tang Dynasty, it was briefly conquered, but with the decline of the Tang Dynasty."

"Afghanistan rose again."

"Then came the Mongol Empire’s western campaigns, where they faced strong resistance here, and the guerilla warfare by the locals undermined the Mongol Empire’s governance.

"Subsequently inciting a chain reaction for surrounding rebellions."

"Next was the Afghan Anglo wars."

"From 1838 to 1919, over 81 years, resisting British Commonwealth’s colonial policies, Afghanistan began a long guerrilla warfare."

"91 years, 3 wars, ultimately by 1919, Afghanistan achieved significant victories."

"While the British Commonwealth was overwhelmed elsewhere with Indian resistance movements, they were forced to negotiate."

"After 81 years of struggle, gaining international recognition, finally severing Commonwealth control and achieving independence."

"And now."

"It’s 2001 when the United States began attacking Afghanistan, dubbed anti-terrorism, but everyone knows the underlying intricacies."

"In this case, playing the game is worthwhile."

"But there is one thing, you’ll never guess."

"That according to intelligence collected from the [Global Resistance] DLC forums, prior to the United States, the Soviet Union also entered Afghanistan Federation."

"From 1979 to 1989, a complete decade."

"And ultimately, they were forced to retreat."

"Now the United States is here again."
