Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 587 - 281: The Republic’s Path to Independence and Self-Reliance
"In 1959, there wasn’t even an experimental base, not even a complete formula; everything relied on the information from the Soviet Union."
"But most of these materials were burned when they retreated."
"This was especially difficult."
"Because if everything was burned, the Republic might start from scratch and sort out a complete system."
"But with only half burned, the Republic had to continuously calculate and compare with the half of the data they had, at least tripling the research time."
"And there was so much information on nuclear weapons."
"Trying to match every single piece is almost impossible."
"So the Soviet Union never really believed the Republic could develop the atomic bomb without their support."
"Since the Soviet Union knew this situation, when dealing with the United States on these agreements, they probably communicated this to some extent."
"So when the United States heard this, they felt at ease."
"It’s just that neither side expected."
"The Republic, in the second year after these unfavorable treaties, successfully tested its first atomic bomb."
"Astonishing the world."
"To contain the Republic, the United States began to increase its military deployment in the Asian region."
"Previously, they supported the pseudo-army in the southern peninsula, trying to pin a hold in the heart of the Republic, but failed; now they were impatient in Vietnam."
"Especially after the Republic successfully tested the atomic bomb, the urgency increased."
"So in 1964, the United States fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin incident, directly intervening in the war of the Vietnam Federation."
"I’ll briefly explain this incident."
"The United States crossed open waters into the home seas of the Vietnam Federation to gather intelligence and clashed with its navy."
"They sank Vietnam Federation’s torpedo boats."
"The United States claimed it was Vietnam Federation’s provocation first, but they wouldn’t mind it."
"They would simply switch to another sea area for more ’patrolling.’"
"This is rather amusing, clearly sinking their ships while claiming they won’t hold the provocation against them."
"But would the United States let it go just like that?"
"Obviously not."
"Given the disparity between the two countries, the United States couldn’t care less about the Vietnam Federation’s thoughts."
"After changing to another sea area of the Vietnam Federation for patrolling,"
"The United States again claimed to be attacked by the Vietnam Federation’s torpedo boats."
"Using this as an excuse,"
"The next day, they deployed air forces, beginning large-scale bombings of northern Vietnam Federation areas such as Nghe An, Hong Gai, and Thanh Hoa."
"Two days later."
"The United States Congress passed a ’Resolution,’ authorizing the president to use armed forces in Southeast Asia, expanding the theater of war."
"After this."
"The United States began to send large-scale troops, forcibly intervening in the north-south war of the Vietnam Federation."
"At this time, North Vietnam could only rely on the Republic to relieve pressure."
"So in 1965,"
"The Republic started the ’Resisting America and Aiding Vietnam’ campaign."
"The two sides confronted each other once again."
Yu Feng sighed, looking at the documents in his hand:
"The situation is much like the former peninsula battlefield, but the conditions are different."
"Back then, the peninsula battlefield was a battle to establish the nation, so it was important to display prowess, but the Vietnam battlefield here is a covert struggle. Even the international community doesn’t know the Republic participated."
"Only we, the Blue Star players who entered the Republic, know about the Republic’s secret aid."
"This has to be mentioned."
"Because, at this time, the awkward situation between the Republic and the Soviet Union."
"Thus, the Republic could not openly support the Vietnam Federation."
"After all, to the Vietnam Federation, the boss was the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union couldn’t help the Vietnam Federation because the Republic was in the middle."
"The situation is intricate."
"And the Republic also didn’t publicize it widely, so this war is little known."
"Alright."
"Let’s now talk about the changing dynamics of the Republic over these five years."
Saying this.
Yu Feng took out the intelligence report of the Republic, which compiled the changes over these five years, turning to the first page and said:
"First, let’s continue from the beginning of 1959."
"Since the border conflict between the Republic and the India Federation, where the Soviet Union leaned toward one side, the relationship between the Republic and the Soviet Union transformed from one-sided to independent and autonomous."
"Then in 1960, they broke with the Soviet Union, the Soviet experts withdrew, and the Republic independently pursued atomic bomb research."
"And during this period in the Republic."
"They also faced pressure from both the Soviet Union and the United States."
"It was a tough situation."
"But in such a scenario, it inspired the Republic’s motivation even more."
"So in 1961."
"The Republic’s diplomacy gradually shifted to ’opposing the two superpowers’."
"To put it bluntly."
"Everything still had to rely on oneself."
"Then in 1962, a rather interesting year."
"The India Federation crossed the border to provoke the Republic."
"The Republic launched a counterattack in self-defense, but the war lasted just a month before it ended."
"The exaggerated results shocked the world."
"Directly causing the capital of the India Federation to move from Delhi to New Delhi."
With these words,
the Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast hadn’t reacted yet.
What does this have to do with the India Federation’s capital?
Delhi became New Delhi?
What does this mean?
Some Blue Star players who knew the story burst out laughing in the chat, posting comments.
Soon.
Other Blue Star netizens also reacted.
One could deduce some hints from the comments.
What on earth?
The Republic’s counterattack against the India Federation pushed the capital Delhi?
So it led to the creation of New Delhi?
Seriously?
This is a bit ridiculous!
Some Blue Star players looked at the world map.
Looking at the vast land area marked as the India Federation, and then back at the capital Delhi, they couldn’t help but show a strange expression.
No way?
How did the Republic fight?
How could it be this ridiculous?
This is...
To be honest.
Such an unbelievable battle result would be considered a fabrication if publicized.
Much like how the United States quickly swept through the Iraq Federation, shocking the world, this time the Republic had just ended the nation-establishing Peninsula War not even ten years ago.
And now, striking again.
In just a month, swiftly overwhelming the India Federation, this display of military power really stunned the world.
Making many federations and national teams wary of the Republic.
Because ever since its founding, this fighting ability of the Republic was indeed too astonishing.
The Blue Star netizens watching the live broadcast were also eager.
After all, this speed and the resulting shock.
Is no less than the Blitzkrieg Poland in World War II, the Gulf War where the United States quickly overwhelmed Iraq, and now the Republic breaking apart the India Federation in just one month.
Yu Feng continued:
"The Republic’s combat performance this time amazed the world and reshaped the balance in Southeast Asia."
"After all, these Southeast Asian countries either relied on the United States or the Soviet Union."
"Now they realized."
"The ancient ancestor living next to them, who’s survived for thousands of years, is still... immensely powerful in battle."
"So they really had to reconsider their positions."
"Because the Soviet Union is very far, the United States is even farther, but the ancestor is right next to them. How can they not be anxious?"
"For thousands of years, the Republic’s attitude towards neighboring federations and countries... although the Republic doesn’t say it itself."
"The small countries around all have a pretty good idea."
As Yu Feng smiled over here, the Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast also laughed.
Because many had played the [Huaxia] history series.
In the past, ancient Huaxia dynasties—dealing with neighboring countries was like a father disciplining a son, hitting them until they submit."
Except this Republic is not quite the same as those ancient Huaxia dynasties in history.
