Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 586 - 281: The Republic’s Path to Independence and Self-Reliance
If earlier there was no sense of how serious the situation had become.
But now.
The netizens on Blue Star have the clearest understanding.
Because neither side could even keep up appearances anymore.
Yu Feng looked at the intelligence in his hand and sighed.
Who could have thought things would change so quickly?
However, it proves just how complicated the situation on ’Earth’ is. The relationships between leaders within the camps change in the blink of an eye, not to mention other federations and countries.
They are just pawns to be manipulated at will.
Looking at the netizens in the live broadcast room of Blue Star, still shocked at the intensity of the severed relations between the parties, Yu Feng remained silent.
He gave the netizens in the live broadcast a moment to process everything.
A few minutes later, feeling that everyone had mostly accepted it, Yu Feng continued:
"Alright."
"Currently, there has been a major event in the Soviet Union Camp, and on the Republic’s side, they have begun aiding Vietnam against the United States."
"Next, let’s take a look at the individual circumstances of the United States Camp and the Republic."
"At that time, everyone can choose the plot that interests them and experience it personally."
"After all, what I explain here are analyses of the situation, which are rather general."
"It’s more interesting to personally experience many plots, such as.... the Republic’s self-defense counterattack against the Indian Federation."
"Of course."
"Those who have experienced it, no spoilers please."
"Such plots are best experienced directly."
Yu Feng said with a smile, while some Blue Star players who had experienced this part of the plot nodded with peculiar expressions, and someone in the live broadcast room asked further questions.
The responses they received were simply to check the forums.
Obviously.
This part of the plot indeed made everyone amused, and they didn’t even know where to start explaining.
Yu Feng then took out the intelligence from the United States Camp and began to speak:
"Let’s take a look at the United States."
"Firstly, in 1959, the Cuban Revolution was victorious, and a country from the Soviet Union Camp appeared in the backyard of the United States."
"Other than this, there weren’t any significant changes."
"Then, in 1960, the U-2 reconnaissance plane incident caused the slightly eased relations between the United States and the Soviet Union to break once again."
"This shows just how intertwined the two camps are."
"They are basically standing in opposition to each other; when talking about the Soviet Union earlier, we mentioned these events, but from the Soviet Union’s perspective."
"This time, we’re looking from the United States’ perspective."
"Then, in 1961, the Vietnam War escalated, and the United States began to intervene in the war."
"Trying to destroy the Vietnamese guerrilla forces."
"But this tactic wasn’t very effective."
"Firstly, due to the restrictive terrain of the Vietnam Federation."
"With numerous mountains and forests, even during the Gulf War, if the United States were to come, they would have to fight guerrilla style, because mountains and forests are everywhere."
"Armored tanks move slowly."
"However, the United States has good equipment; if it were during the Gulf War, leveraging various high-tech devices, they would still easily win."
"Just that there would still be a lot of casualties."
"Of course."
"Now there are even more casualties."
"But those who died are local Vietnamese, so ultimately, it’s still a proxy war."
"The United States funds and equips."
"But in a couple of years, United States troops will intervene, sending more forces to Vietnam, and the battle will become even more difficult, which we’ll discuss later."
"Then comes 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis."
"The United States and the Soviet Union edged close to nuclear war, although eventually, they exchanged interests and ended the incident."
"However, this matter."
"Whether in the United States Camp or the Soviet Union Camp, it felt like a shadow had been cast overhead."
"Fortunately, restraint was maintained."
"Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"At the same time."
"Both the United States and the Soviet Union felt a bit fearful, and meanwhile, the Republic’s progress on the atomic bomb seemed very smooth."
"Neither side wanted the Republic to rise up."
"Thus in 1963, they created the ’Partial Test Ban Treaty’ in an attempt to coerce the Republic to abandon research."
"The Republic refused to sign."
"Due to the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union at the time, they couldn’t forcefully pressure."
"Because in 1964, on the surface, the Republic was still aligned with the Soviet Union."
"The Soviet Union naturally couldn’t press them, as they held the position of leader, so they couldn’t abandon that role."
"And the relationship between the United States and the Republic had already broken down since 1953, with the United States isolating the Republic along with the entire Western Federation."
"It’s been over ten years, and suddenly there’s this treaty demanding that a Republic isolated for more than a decade sign it."
"How is that possible?"
"Who would sign such a thing?"
"Therefore, although the treaty drawn by the United States and the Soviet Union may have had some effect on smaller federations, it was useless to the Republic."
"It was just a scrap of paper."
"Of course."
"I feel there might be another possibility."
Yu Feng said this with a smile on his face.
The Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room were curious, what other possibility could there be?
Yu Feng laughed and said:
"That is, the United States and the Soviet Union didn’t expect the Republic’s research progress to be so fast."
"The experts from the Soviet Union must have known the Republic’s situation."
"So the high-level officials within the Soviet Union would also be aware of the Republic’s research situation."
"So what was the situation they knew?"
