Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 668 - 322: [The Republic’s Observation, End of the Cold War] (4k)
It’s reasonable to have minor conflicts on the Republic’s side.
After all, those small Federations around aren’t exactly loyal dogs, but this casualty ratio still shocked the Blue Star viewers in the live stream.
How can it be that on the Republic’s side, 1 person is injured, while on the other side, 3 warships sink and over 300 people die?
Aren’t these battle results too absurd?
How did they fight?
Is there any footage?
Isn’t the Republic known for having the strongest infantry on the surface? Are they this strong at sea too?
For a moment.
The screen in Yu Feng’s live stream was full of question marks, asking if there was any footage, Yu Feng spoke up:
"We haven’t found any footage for now."
"But the battle results and process are officially certified by the Republic, and they’ve been published." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Plus, I’ve gathered some news from the Vietnam Federation."
"Compared both sides, it’s indeed true."
"Friends who are interested can look for the footage, see if you can trigger it, currently there’s no video of this event, so if you find it and post it, it would definitely be popular."
As Yu Feng said this, the Blue Star viewers in the live stream lit up.
No one has triggered it yet?
Then it has to be tried.
After all, learning from the newspapers isn’t as immersive as experiencing it personally.
Some of the Blue Star viewers who are close to the 1988 timeline in the scenario are heading south, though some can’t participate because their roles aren’t military.
But.... there are plenty of fishermen.
And the intel provided the time and place, just need to get close at that time.
No matter what the Blue Star viewers discuss.
Yu Feng continued talking about the information:
"Then it’s 1989."
"Last year, the Soviet Union had already contacted the Republic."
"So by 1989, the relationship between both sides gradually normalized."
"But this move was not something the United States wanted to see."
"So the United States, through various means, joined forces with countries within its camp to impose some sanctions on the Republic."
"Causing a temporary impact inside the Republic."
"But they quickly got out of it."
Yu Feng looked at the information and said to the Blue Star viewers in the stream:
"In fact, the United States is afraid of the Republic teaming up with the Soviet Union again."
"So when the relationship between both sides eased a bit."
"The United States immediately took action against the Republic."
"But actually, at this time, the Soviet Union couldn’t manage anything."
"Even if the Republic intervened, it could only delay things a bit."
"After all, the Soviet Union’s situation back then was difficult, the economic issue was the biggest problem, if supporting in terms of food, it might be possible, but economically....."
"Let’s put it this way."
"Based on the purchasing power at that time."
"The Republic’s GDP was only two-thirds of the Soviet Union’s."
"So when the Republic hadn’t even developed its own economy, it was impossible to support the Soviet Union."
"After all, they hadn’t developed themselves yet."
"However, this year, although sanctioned by the United States and some countries within its camp."
"The Republic’s diplomacy made breakthroughs."
"Established diplomatic relations with some countries, however, because of the United States’ sanctions, all were conducted secretly."
"It might be a few years before it gets announced."
Yu Feng finished speaking, turned a page of the information, and continued:
"Then it’s 1990."
"This year."
"Faced with sanctions from the United States’ camp."
"The Republic continued to steadily develop itself, secretly introduced the production line of the Su-27, accelerating the pace of military modernization."
"Meanwhile."
"The Republic’s GDP continued to grow steadily this year."
"Though only 5.8%."
"But it shows that under sanctions, the Republic was affected in some ways, but the economy still maintained a growth trend."
"It’s still quite good."
This indicates that the United States’ sanctions didn’t cause severe damage to the Republic.
Although some aspects became difficult due to the sanctions, the overall environment wasn’t affected.
Yu Feng continued to browse the information and said:
"Then it’s 1991."
"This year."
"The Republic reopened the Shanghai Stock Exchange, attracting hundreds of billions in foreign investment throughout the year."
"Meanwhile."
"After the end of the Soviet Union."
"The countries in Central Asia that announced independence all declared diplomatic relations with the Republic the very next day."
"Briefly filling the vacuum left after the Soviet Union."
"Thus."
"The Cold War, which continued from the end of World War II to the present, ended."
"It shifted from the bipolar hegemony after World War II to the single-polar hegemony of the United States, but the Russian Federation, which inherited most of the Soviet Union, also had huge development potential."
"The United States is always watching them."
"And the current Republic is still just focusing on developing its own limited territory."
Yu Feng brought up a data table listing the Republic’s actions over the years:
"Let’s take a look at the Republic’s development over these years."
"First, the strategy of ’keeping a low profile and biding one’s time’ was established."
"Then introduced the production line for Soviet equipment, accelerating the modernization of the military industry."
"And despite the United States’ sanctions, maintained steady GDP growth while establishing diplomatic ties with Central Asian countries, gaining strategic footholds in Central Asia."
"This strategic foothold is very useful."
"Previously, without diplomatic relations, communication was difficult, but now that it’s started, if the other party seeks the Republic’s help one day, or if there’s something the Republic needs domestically."
"Both sides can quickly communicate and start cooperation."
