Chapter 255

Yu Feng took out the intelligence on the American Federation.

In these short five years, the Soviet Federation went from gradually reaching its peak to instantly falling, giving the Blue Star players an inexplicable shock.

At this time.

Blue Star players also wanted to see what the situation was like on the American Federation side.

After all, that sanction move later was too ruthless.

Yu Feng looked at the data and said:

"Let's start with 1976."

"This year the American Federation held a general election."

"And the incumbent president lost the election as expected because he pardoned the former president's crimes."

"This is also understandable."

"After all, the entire American Federation is not stupid."

"After the former president committed a crime, it was fine for the vice president to take over, but after the vice president took over, he immediately pardoned all the former president's crimes."

"This is treating the law as a toy."

"Although because it is the Constitution, the American Federation public couldn't refute it."

"But obviously."

"Such a president cannot continue to be re-elected."

"The newly inaugurated American Federation president started by cutting himself first."

"Reducing the share of military spending."

"It once reached the lowest point after the war with the Vietnam Federation."

"There were many criticisms within the American Federation."

"Mainly criticizing him for lowering the American Federation's deterrent power."

"Then there was a change in diplomatic strategy."

"Using 'rights' as a slogan to reshape the American Federation's image as a 'moral' leader."

"Simply put."

"This newly inaugurated American Federation president felt that military force couldn't handle the Soviet Union, so he changed his strategy, different from the military competition of previous American Federation presidents."

"Instead, he actively reduced military spending and then began to reshape the American Federation's 'moral' leader image."

"If you can't handle it with force, then handle it with culture."

"It's just that this approach received quite a lot of criticism in the American Federation at the time."

"But this is a long-term strategic influence."

"I'll talk about it later."

Yu Feng said, and then continued:

"Then there is the deepening of the American Federation's economic inflation this year."

"Inflation rate of 9.1% + unemployment rate of 7.8% coexisted, and the domestic situation was also not good."

"It's just that the American Federation could still cope."

"While the Soviet Federation side was expanding in all directions."

"Then it's 1977."

"Starting this year, the new president's diplomatic strategy began to be implemented, using means such as terminating military cooperation and economic sanctions to pressure the South African apartheid regime."

"It's just that the effect was not very good."

"Or rather, there was none at all."

"Instead, it won a lot of praise for 'morality and reputation' internationally."

"At the same time."

"Not only was military spending reduced, but military aid to federations such as Argentina and Chile was also terminated."

"This also led these federations to switch to others."

"This move significantly reduced the American Federation's influence in Latin America, so there were many critical voices."

"And this year."

"The dilemma of the energy crisis also broke out."

"Because the American Federation's oil import and export share reached 50%, it pushed the 'Energy Act' in an attempt to find alternative energy sources."

"But similarly, it was difficult to see results in the short term."

"There were already many voices of opposition internally."

Yu Feng flipped through the data and continued:

"Then it's 1978."

"This year, the American Federation's economic crisis became increasingly serious."

"The US dollar exchange rate plummeted by 15%."

"The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 20% to save the world."

"You can see."

"While the Soviet Federation was expanding crazily, the American Federation was still dealing with internal problems."

"And the policies of the new American Federation president in the past two years, such as reducing military spending, etc."

"From the Soviet Federation's perspective, it was a sign that the American Federation had already yielded."

"That's why the previous situation occurred."

"Also in 1978."

"The Soviet Federation's power expansion reached its peak worldwide."

"The American Federation was still dealing with internal economic problems."

"It's just that no one knew that the subsequent development and changes would be so fast."

"Then there was another thing this year."

"That is, under the mediation of the American Federation, the Egyptian Federation and the Israeli Federation reconciled, which led to the collective severance of diplomatic relations between Arab countries and the Egyptian Federation."

"To put it bluntly, they thought the Egyptian Federation was a traitor."

"Kicked out."

"Then it's 1979."

"Europe."

"NATO approved the deployment of 108 Pershing missiles and 464 ground-launched cruise missiles in the Western Empire, wanting to force the Soviet Federation back to the negotiating table with 'reciprocal deterrence'."

"Let everyone sit down and talk together."

"But facing NATO's idea of deploying missiles to threaten while trying to force the Soviet Federation to negotiate."

"The Soviet Federation said."

"Talk my ass."

"What level of player are you to negotiate with me?"

"You have to know that the current Soviet Federation has expanded to its peak, and coupled with the belief in the American Federation's weakness, it is now looking like the world's number one."

"Naturally, it wouldn't care about these threats."

"Not to mention that the distance of this threat is also limited."

"The 1,800-kilometer range is far from their 5,000-kilometer range."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room didn't know what to say either.

This...

Are the people in this "Earth" all so simple and crude?

Or is it that they have been playing "Republic" for too long?

So looking at these foreign operations, they all feel simple and crude?

According to the American Federation's actions in these five years.

If it were players from the Republic camp, they would definitely think about what conspiracy was hidden behind the American Federation's reduction of military spending and this "human rights" slogan.

The kind that wouldn't stop until they figured it out.

While the Soviet Federation simply thought.

The American Federation has yielded.

They have declined, and this is the perfect time for me to take action.

That's why there was crazy expansion in these few years.

And it seems that it's not just the Soviet Federation that is like this; the American Federation seems to be like this too.

During the Peninsula War.

Time and again, ceasefire proposals were seen by the American Federation as the Republic being weak, and the result was that they pressed the Republic to fight, only to find out they couldn't beat them and then negotiated for peace.

It seems that these foreign federations in "Earth" all only look at the surface.

In fact.

Many Blue Star players who played the [Huaxia] series had seen many conspiracies and tricks throughout the dynasties on the land of Huaxia, so after the opponent made a move.

They would substitute themselves into it, calculating three steps for every one step.

Thinking about what kind of conspiracy the opponent's move was.

But in fact...

Many foreign federations don't have such a long history, coupled with continuous revolutions, and the new construction of one federation or country after another.

Countries on the European continent pay more attention to domestic strength.

Rather than the conspiracies and tricks in history.

They just take it one step at a time.

Even if they think more, they can't come up with anything.

But if they let the people of the Republic think.

What is the purpose of his reduction in military spending?

Is it to confuse us?

"Human rights" slogan? What kind of conspiracy is this trying to do?

Could it be that they want to use moral kidnapping?

Their hearts are punishable!!!

Almost without thinking carefully, various ideas would flash through their minds.

But the Soviet side saw the American Federation's actions.

Yet they thought this was proof of the American Federation's decline, not only crazily expanding themselves but also mistakenly thinking that the American Federation now had no strength to stop them.

They brazenly entered the Afghanistan Federation, the graveyard of empires, in 1979.

Wanting to conquer that place.

It's just a pity that they judged wrongly in many aspects.

Yu Feng looked at the data and continued:

"It's not just about Europe."

"In the Middle East."

"The pro-American Federation forces in the Iran Federation collapsed, and now the American Federation's power in the Middle East is left with the Israeli Federation at the forefront."

"The American Federation's focus in the Middle East can only be placed on the Israeli Federation and the Saudi Federation."

"And it is precisely because of the various situations of the American Federation this year."

"Including that in the Middle East, only the supported Israeli Federation and Saudi Federation are left."

"So the Soviet Federation would think that the American Federation has truly declined, and at the end of that year, they chose to enter the Afghanistan Federation."

"The American Federation's move is a lucky hit."

"I estimate that the American Federation didn't expect the Soviet Federation to be like this either."

"After all, the policy of the incumbent American Federation president."

"Reducing military spending, weakening the American Federation's influence, 'human rights' diplomacy, stopping military aid, leading allies to switch to others."

"The purpose of this series of actions is to occupy the moral high ground."

"Unfortunately, it's useless."

"Because power comes from... so this strategy of relying on moral kidnapping is a failure."

"But at the same time, it is also a success."

"Because it successfully led the Soviet Federation into a pit."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room also had their mouths twitching.

Indeed.

After all, the American Federation originally saw that they couldn't handle it with force, so they wanted to occupy the moral high ground to play kidnapping and cultural fighting.

As a result, the other side's guns were hard, and they didn't want to play cultural fighting at all.

It was a complete failure.

But the Soviet Federation's operation made itself fall into it.

Now...

Unintentionally planting a willow, the willow grew into shade.

Yu Feng continued:

"Then it's 1980."

"This year."

"Because of the quagmire of the Afghanistan Federation and the turmoil in the Eastern European region."

"The Soviet Federation was overwhelmed and didn't want to fight on two fronts."

"So it remained silent."

"But the American Federation saw this opportunity and launched a wave of economic sanctions and grain embargoes."

"Catching the Soviet Federation off guard."

"With this, the changes in the American Federation's five years have ended."

"It can still be seen."

"It was still dealing with internal contradictions and economic problems."

"But the move in 1980 directly cut into the Soviet Federation's main artery."

"The American Federation's strategic relaxation gradually ended."

"After adjusting the problems within the federation, it began to regain strategic initiative, laying the groundwork for the great changes in the next 10 years."

"But this will have to wait for the next episode."

"Let's look at the Republic's side."

Yu Feng organized the data.

He took out the Republic's share and said:

"Like before, the Republic still focused on developing itself in these 5 years."

"Let's see what changes the Republic has."

"First is the breakthrough in technology."

"In 1976, the Republic's submarine-launched missile experiment broke through, and the nuclear submarine strike system took shape."

"This made the Republic the 5th country in the world to master submarine-launched technology."

"Initially building a 'land-based + sea-based' secondary nuclear counterattack capability."

"It counts as a huge progress."

"It's just that in the early stages, it could only cover the Asian region."

"The range is relatively small."

"Unlike later, when you only need one Dongfang-5C to cover the whole world."

Yu Feng continued:

"Then it's 1977."

"This year, the Republic signed procurement agreements with European countries such as the British Commonwealth."

"Mainly used for manufacturing large mechanical equipment."

"This year, the Republic was still developing itself domestically."

"Then it's 1978."

"This year, the Republic was still focusing on developing itself."

"Alright."

"The situation of the Republic now is that it belongs to making a fortune in silence; no matter how you fight or play games outside, I will close my doors, honestly farm, and no one should disturb me."

"However, this year."

"The relationship between the Republic and the American Federation broke the ice."

"Announced in a joint communique that they would officially establish diplomatic relations on January 1, 1979."

Yu Feng flipped through the data.

Seeing that it was soon 1979, he said:

"Then it's 1979."

"This year, the Republic and the American Federation officially established diplomatic relations, and also because of the constant provocations of the Vietnam Federation."

"The Republic was forced to start a self-defense counterattack."

"But the battle only lasted for more than a month."

"And ended with the Vietnam Federation's collapse and the withdrawal of troops after most of the infrastructure was destroyed."

"This is the Republic's style, no problem."

"They don't want to actively provoke a battle; once they have the upper hand, they want to talk to you."

"It was the same when dealing with the Indian Federation."

"But those people in the Indian Federation thought the Republic was yielding and provoked them again."

"Then there's no way..."

"Does everyone know why I mentioned this?"

Yu Feng asked the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room.

Many Blue Star netizens sent question marks, some not knowing why.

Yu Feng smiled and said:

"Because after the Republic crushed and defeated the Vietnam Federation, they actively withdrew their troops."

"But."

"This active withdrawal."

"Also made the Vietnam Federation a bit unclear-headed."

"Because they thought the Republic was weak and didn't dare to continue fighting."

"So."

"They rushed up to jump in their faces again."

"The Republic saw this and started the rotation mode."

"They didn't attack vigorously."

"But fought one division after another."

"Only then did the Vietnam Federation wake up."

"But it was too late to call a stop."

"Because you were given a chance, but you didn't use it."

Yu Feng looked at the Vietnam Federation's operations in the intelligence and didn't understand it either.

Reasonably speaking.

It would be understandable if other federations were like this, because their founding time is short and they don't value history, so once the opponent shows a little weakness, they will jump in their faces.

Instead of thinking about what plan the opponent has.

But the civilization here in the Vietnam Federation doesn't seem to have been broken, it's just constantly being beaten by the Central Plains dynasty.

They have been fighting for thousands of years, don't they know the strength of the Republic yet?

They have already been pushed across once.

How could they see the Republic's troops withdraw and think the Republic was cowardly and didn't dare to fight... this kind of brain circuit is simply impossible to understand.

Don't they know how they were beaten... how could they dare to go back and jump in their faces.
