Chapter 235: 【Those Buried Empires】(4k)

The anchor Yang Feng in the live stream room was also an old player of Polar Star games."

He was also attracted by this [Modern Warfare], but only found out after entering the game that something seemed wrong."

Clearly it should be a dimensionality reduction strike."

But when it really came to ground attacks, it seemed to have returned to the World War II period, fighting street battles with those organization soldiers. This is also why Yang Feng complained that it felt like returning to World War II."

In fact."

It’s no better than the street fighting in Stalingrad during World War II."

After all, in Stalingrad during World War II, it can be said that as long as you find someone, you can shoot without hesitation, because you don't have to ask, the opposite side must be Empire soldiers/Soviet soldiers."

But here you have to distinguish carefully before shooting."

Because the civilians, children, and old people here have not evacuated."

Many times the muzzle is aimed at those people."

Can’t distinguish who is an organization member at all."

What’s more headache is that sometimes it looks like just a child, but has long been brainwashed by organization members."

Once let them get close...: :"

Naturally, there is no need to say more."

Boom—!!!"

Yang Feng walked carefully, and there were several American Federation special combat team members distributed around."

Compared to the war in the World War II period where they just killed with big knives and axes."

Blue Star players only now feel the difficulty of this counter-terrorism."

At the same time, they also think from another perspective."

If the six major federations on the Blue Star side search for those fanatical elements who advocate war, will those fanatical elements go crazy like those organization members after madness."

After all, even children can be used."

At the same time."

Blue Star players also felt a bit awkward."

After all, the American Federation’s firepower is so strong, and now being forcibly pulled down, it feels inexplicable."

Fighting back and forth, it became street fighting again."

In fact."

It’s because there are too few wars on the Blue Star side, so even with theoretical support, it’s impossible to fully simulate the various situations that occur in war."

For example, the counter-terrorism war between the American Federation and the Afghanistan Federation now."

The American Federation shocked the world when it pushed the Iraqi Federation horizontally during the Gulf War, giving all federations and countries a heavy lesson."

But the environment of the Iraqi Federation maximized the advantages of the American Federation."

And now."

Facing the Afghanistan Federation, where 80% of the land area is plateaus and high mountains, the first is the situation of the American Federation soldiers being unaccustomed to the water and soil, and the second is that the weapons and equipment are not so lucky."

Although the strategic position of Afghanistan here is extremely important, it can coerce surrounding federations and countries."

But accordingly."

It also became very troublesome for him to transport equipment and materials."

Unlike the Gulf War period, where sea and land routes could be used to transport various weapons and equipment."

Afghanistan itself was blockaded."

Needless to say, the west and east, one is the Iran Federation, one is the Republic."

The north and south are the five Central Asian countries and the Pakistan Federation."

So facing such a sandwich environment, the American Federation’s military expenditure and material expenditure in Afghanistan will obviously be a huge sum."

Although it may not matter to the American Federation."

But for the soldiers."

If equipment and materials are not in place, it will cost lives."

Even if the American Federation’s firepower is strong."

But various factors of war determine the situation. Although the American Federation can crush, once dragged into street fighting, it becomes the original tragic slaughter of World War II."

And there are a few more dangers."

Because you don't know which civilian or old person or child is an organization member."

Yang Feng walked in the semi-ruined alley."

The sound of teammates came from the headphones:"

"This place is too quiet, I have a bad feeling, retreat."

Yang Feng said:"

"I think so too, it’s too quiet."

Anyone who has played war games knows the danger of this situation, not to mention Yang Feng is also an old player of World War II, having fought for a long time in Stalingrad."

The teammates in front began to retreat slowly, and the two crossed cover to prepare to retreat from this alley."

Suddenly!"

The sound of the manhole cover moving came from the right, and there was a roar that couldn't be understood."

Yang Feng’s pupils shrank:"

"Rough!"

Quickly turned around and raised the submachine gun in his hand."

Tut tut tut tut—"

A series of bullets swept over, and the roaring sound stopped abruptly."

But the next second."

Boom—!!!!"

A huge explosion spread from the courtyard next to it."

The shock wave of the explosion blew Yang Feng and the teammate away."

The urgent inquiry sound of other American Federation soldiers also appeared in the headphones, and at the same time, American Federation soldiers from all directions were quickly approaching here."

Yang Feng, who rolled out, didn't wait to stop."

Bang!"

A bullet brushed against the helmet and hit the ground."

Yang Feng shivered, instantly looked at the direction the bullet was fired, and the masked organization member holding a gun at the window of a half-ruined two-story building was ready to shoot again."

Yang Feng rolled and shouted:"

"Ten o'clock direction! The second floor that was blown up!"

Bang!"

A gunshot rang out."

Yang Feng covered his arm and rolled to the side, and the gunman on the opposite side intended to shoot again."

Boom—!"

A rocket hit the two-story building that was already half ruins, and at the same time, dense firepower fell like raindrops on the dilapidated two-story building."

The American Federation team that rushed over had surrounded the place."

Yang Feng looked at the figure flashing on the building and reported again:"

"3 people."

Just finished shouting, only heard a crash, the muzzle of an organization member broke through the glass and swept at the American Federation soldiers below."

At the same time, the guns in the hands of the American Federation soldiers also fired."

The dense gunfire stopped after a few seconds."

And that organization member was also beaten into a sieve. The American Federation soldiers were not shot into the body because of bulletproof vests, but the impact made them unable to breathe for a while."

Yang Feng was also urgently treating the wound."

It’s just that facing this situation, they can't just consume it here. Who knows if there are reinforcements from the organization side later."

Yang Feng wrapped his arm simply and immediately got up to join the team."

Preparing for a new round of fighting."

A few days later."

It has been nearly a week since the new version of the dlc went online."

At this time, the Blue Star players have gradually become familiar with the rhythm in [Global Counter-Terrorism], mainly fighting fiercely, and dying after fighting."

The difficulty of the early stage of counter-terrorism can be imagined."

From the opening to now, in the past week, players have died at least two or three times."

You can imagine how intense the battle is."

However, some players, because their teammates all died, but they survived, so they were promoted."

At the same time, some Blue Star players also found something wrong."

This is about counter-terrorism."

But the military expenditure of the American Federation is too high, right?"

In the plot recorded by some players."

I accidentally discovered a receipt; the $16,000 refrigerator on it is one thing, but what is up with the $3 million-plus anti-biochemical toilet?

Is this inlaid with gold edges?"

This is just the tip of the iceberg."

As Blue Star players investigated in the past few days... they seem to be the ones who are being taken advantage of."

Rough!"

This situation is really worth anti-war."

MD!"

We are fighting to the death with organization members in the front, and we have been killed several times in seven days, and those American Federation troop high officials use a toilet for 3 million+ dollars."

It’s more valuable than their lives in the game."

The pension for American Federation soldiers who died in counter-terrorism missions is $100,000."

But they use a toilet, which is worth the lives of 30 American Federation soldiers."

What the hell...

It turns out that no matter how you play this game, it’s all the same thing.

During World War II, politicians tricked people into dying for nothing, and in the end, the merchants and politicians were stuffed with money, while only millions of ordinary children died.

It turns out the routine is still the same today.

Blue Star players who have been playing the Polar Star game are naturally clear about the currency units in "Earth"; it can be said that in this current era, the US dollar is one of the most valuable currencies on Earth.

It is also one of the most widely circulated currencies.

A toilet costing over 3 million US dollars—this level of luxury still exceeded the imagination of the Blue Star players.

However, since they already know what it's like on the inside.

Some Blue Star players have had their imaginations run wild; since that's the case, they might as well collude with them.

See if they can survive to the end and get promoted.

See how many US dollars they can rake in as an ending in this [Global Anti-Terrorism] DLC.

The player who initiated this challenge attached their account and name, as well as their current identity and the session they are in within the plot.

Currently, they are a temporary deputy squad leader.

Because everyone else is basically dead, they are waiting for the Federation to send reinforcements, and at the same time, they are calling out to see if other players have any useful intelligence they would like to share.

Even if it's not the same session, maybe it can be used.

This proposal also made the eyes of other Blue Star players light up.

Indeed.

You can earn merit like this.

Because the situations in different sessions are different, a stronghold discovered in this session might be useless here, but telling players in other sessions...

They can plan ahead before it's discovered in their own sessions.

Polar Star's [Global Resistance] DLC is not a single-player story mode, but a [multi-player story mode]; if you die in this session, you will respawn into another living NPC.

And to prevent the NPCs in a single session from being killed off by Blue Star players, the number of people in each session is not large.

This also gives Blue Star players a loophole to collect intelligence from previous sessions and then earn merit and rewards in their own later sessions.

Zhao Ming noticed this situation, but he didn't interfere much.

After all, this thing still depends on one's background.

Although these Blue Star players can rely on some intelligence in the early stages to gain military merit and then go on to collude with them.

But there is a ceiling to this level.

Once you reach a certain level, if you want to climb higher and rake in more, you have to rely on background connections.

Furthermore, the American Federation is not exactly blind to luxury and corruption.

In the end, these Blue Star players will have to be the scapegoats; after all, these guys have no background—if they don't take the fall, who will? How many auditors without backgrounds have already died?

The level of madness within the American Federation can be imagined.

On the other side.

In Yu Feng's livestream room.

After streaming [Global Anti-Terrorism] for two days, he finally remembered his old profession—the intelligence from the [World War II] series is still what matters.

So he spent another four-plus days skipping the plot and organizing intelligence.

Only then was he ready to drop a big scoop on Sunday.

At this moment.

The timeline on Yu Feng's side has already reached the beginning of 1959; at this time, the world conflicts and situations within "Earth" are even more chaotic, but Yu Feng left the situation for last.

Instead, he took out an intelligence document about Afghanistan and said to the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room with a smile:

"Brothers, has anyone been addicted to the [Global Resistance] DLC lately?"

"I have a piece of intelligence here regarding the Afghanistan Federation."

"Today, let's talk about this 'Graveyard of Empires'."

"As for why it's called the 'Graveyard of Empires,' you'll know soon enough. I wonder if the American Federation will also meet its doom here."

"We mentioned before that the location of the Afghanistan Federation can hold surrounding countries in check."

"That is in modern times."

"What about in ancient times?"

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

"According to my research from multi-country data, starting from Alexander's attack here in 329 BC, it has already become a graveyard of empires."

"This is the end point of Alexander's eastern expedition."

"The war of attrition in the Afghanistan Federation dragged down the Macedonian expeditionary force."

"This was the first empire to meet its doom here."

"Immediately following that was the long-term tug-of-war with the Arab Empire; in the end, several dynasties on the Arab side collapsed, but this place still exists."

"By the time of the Tang Dynasty in China, it was briefly conquered, but with the decline of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Afghanistan stood up again."

"Then came the western expedition of the Mongol Empire of the Yuan Dynasty, which also encountered great resistance here; the people here used Mobile Corps Commander warfare to drag down the Mongol-Yuan ruling system."

"Later, this also triggered a chain reaction, causing the surrounding areas to start resisting one after another."

"Next was the Afghan war of resistance against the British."

"From 1838 to 1919, over a period of 81 years, in order to resist the colonial policy of the British Federation, Afghanistan began another long Mobile Corps Commander war."

"In those 81 years, through 3 wars of resistance against the British, finally in 1919, Afghanistan achieved a great victory across the board."

"And the British Federation, because of the resistance movement in India on the other side, was in a state of panic and was forced to negotiate for peace."

"After 81 years of struggle, they gained international recognition and finally got rid of the control of the British Commonwealth to become completely independent."

"And now."

"It is the American Federation's invasion of Afghanistan starting in 2001, under the guise of anti-terrorism, but everyone knows the ins and outs of it."

"Otherwise, all this time playing the game would have been for nothing."

"But there is one thing you will never guess."

"That is, according to the intelligence I collected from the [Global Resistance] DLC forum, before the American Federation came, the Soviet Federation had also entered the Afghanistan Federation."

"From 1979 to 1989, for a full ten years."

"In the end, they were also forced to withdraw from here."

"And now, the American Federation has come over again."
