Chapter 257: The Decline of the Federation

Regarding this situation.

Blue Star players can only sigh; the world is ever-changing.

Especially with these matters that pull at the nerves of the entire body from every aspect, the disintegration of a massive federation is never an instantaneous event.

Perhaps it looks fast from their perspective.

Because it is a plot progression, there are changes almost every week.

But from the perspective of the NPCs on "Earth."

These hard times have lasted for more than a year; they have lasted for several years.

They were almost getting used to it themselves.

But then, they were sanctioned by the American Federation, and the Soviet Federation began to implement a strategy of tightening their belts, which suddenly made it impossible for the grassroots masses to hold on any longer.

Look at the American Federation.

From 1965 to 1980.

From being mired in the quagmire of war to self-rescue, the outbreak of various situations domestically, and finally to finally getting out, or even not having completely gotten out yet.

It took 15 long years.

And that is not even the end.

Because before sanctioning the Soviet Federation, there were still great contradictions within the American Federation.

It is just that because of the sanctions on the Soviet Federation.

The American Federation has now shifted the problem outward, and for the time being, no one is watching the domestic situation.

Otherwise, the problems of the American Federation would have to continue.

It is just that now the focus is on the sanctions.

As for the Soviet Federation, if they realize it now and turn on self-rescue mode, it is unknown how long it will take.

And if they don't realize it...

It is estimated that by the time they do, it will already be too late.

Yu Feng has been chatting with the friends in the live broadcast room, analyzing the problems of the Soviet Federation and the American Federation, as well as the development of the Republic.

As they talked more, the Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room discovered.

Why the Republic was able to break through the encirclement.

Because the Republic has always understood one truth: to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.

Since the end of the Peninsula War.

The Republic has always been developing itself.

Decades like one day.

Never easily interfering in the problems of various foreign federations.

Seemingly isolated.

But in reality, the Republic is catching up with the century-long gap it fell behind at an astonishing speed, step by step.

Looking at other federations and countries.

Just take the ones that are adjacent geographically.

Also a country established after World War II, the Indian Federation always thought about invading the land of its neighbors.

Constantly provoking the Republic.

As a result, after one battle, its national destiny was abruptly broken.

Since then.

It hasn't recovered for decades.

By the time of the later [Global Anti-Terrorism] DLC version, in 2001, it was still developing "United Nations brand" equipment.

What is "United Nations brand"?

It means they have no manufacturing capability themselves, so they can only buy from all over the world.

Why can't they manufacture it themselves?

Because if the Indian Federation hadn't made trouble in the beginning and hadn't provoked the Republic, it wouldn't have been quickly pushed back, and it wouldn't have been unable to continue reforms because there were too many opposing voices.

And the Vietnam Federation.

This one is the closest and most obvious.

Clearly, the territory is not large.

It even just drove away the American Federation's troops and defeated the forces supported by the American Federation.

But it actually wanted to seize the territory of the Republic.

Then...

It was taught a lesson.

Originally, the Republic had already stopped.

As a result, it was still unconvinced.

It continued to provoke.

The result was that the infrastructure was basically beaten down, and it couldn't catch its breath for a while.

Yu Feng also recommended that Blue Star netizens search for the war plot regarding the "Vietnam Federation."

Because most players have now caught up with the timeline.

So many people have already started the plot, and there are quite a few such live broadcast rooms.

Many Blue Star friends heard this and went to search one after another.

At this time.

Tian Sha live broadcast platform.

In the live broadcast room of streamer Wu Jie.

He was broadcasting the plot of the rotation battle against Vietnam.

Different from other live broadcast rooms, where the counterattack battle had just begun and was still in fierce fighting, Wu Jie was telling the friends in the live broadcast room about his situation:

"My side is that the early stage of the war has been over for several years."

"Now it belongs to the situation of rotation battle."

"What is a rotation battle? Oh, it's that the Republic's troops take turns coming over to fight a wave with the Vietnam Federation, mainly to train the troops."

Hearing this.

Some friends who had just entered after listening to Yu Feng's live broadcast were confused.

What the hell?

Rotation battle?

Is that what it means???

Holy crap?

They couldn't help but be confused.

Just now in Yu Feng's live broadcast room, Yu Feng only talked about the Republic starting a counterattack and then opening the rotation battle mode.

They thought it was a back-and-forth fight.

As a result, you tell me that the rotation battle is the Republic's grand military training?

The Vietnam Federation is just taking a beating?

The screen was full of question marks, and some people were even sending [6666].

At this time.

Streamer Wu Jie also discovered something was wrong, looking at the soaring number of people:

"Holy crap?"

"How did it increase by more than 20,000 people?"

"Am I famous?"

The friends in the live broadcast room were also confused, what's the situation.

The newcomers explained it, saying that Yu Feng's side descended to the Vietnam Federation side, and everyone should search and see the plot.

Seeing this.

Wu Jie immediately understood:

"Got it."

"Everyone is here to see the counterattack battle."

"But don't!"

"Although mine is a rotation battle, I'm telling it to you!"

Don't say it.

Once Wu Jie said this, the Blue Star netizens who originally wanted to find a few ongoing live broadcast rooms really stopped.

Seeing this.

Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dawdle:

"This matter has to start from the period of resisting France and aiding Vietnam against the US." "Starting from that period."

"That is, the 28 years from 1950 to 1978, before the war started."

"As a 'neighborly brother' kind of intimate relationship."

"The Republic provided a large amount of aid to the Vietnam Federation."

"You have to know that during the period from 1950 to 1978, the Republic was fighting the Peninsula War, was isolated by the American Federation camp, and had the counterattack battle against the Indian Federation, etc."

"It was under such difficult conditions."

"In order to help the Vietnam Federation drive away the invaders, the Republic aided a large amount of military equipment and supplies, and in 28 years, it provided no less than 20 billion US dollars in aid."

"There were also 300,000 railway, engineering, communication, and other troops supporting infrastructure construction."

"Reasonably speaking."

"Which neighbor can do this to this extent."

"In the situation where the Republic couldn't even get enough to eat, in order to help the neighbor drive away the invaders, it provided 20 billion US dollars in various projects over 28 years."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a rebirth parent."

"But this Vietnam Federation, after driving away the American Federation, became the second India."

"It wanted to annex the surrounding Laos Federation, Cambodia Federation, etc., and engage in regional hegemony in Southeast Asia."

"Wild expansion + the rift in relations between the Republic and the Soviet Union."

"Made the Vietnam Federation feel that it had grasped an opportunity, and as long as it was done well, it might be able to bite a piece of meat off the Republic."

"Brothers."

"This was aid from 1950 until 1978, which is the year before the counterattack battle, the Republic was still aiding the Vietnam Federation, but they actually did such a thing."

"Who wouldn't feel cold-hearted."

"This is also why you go to search for the Vietnam Federation plot."

"That sentence from the Republic, '20 billion raised a wolf cub', came from this."

"Then in August 1978, when the Vietnam Federation was preparing to move and had ideas, until February 1979."

"In just 6 months."

"The Vietnam Federation armed provocations more than 700 times."

"On average, more than 100 times a month."

"On average, three or four times a day."

"Reasonably speaking."

"If this were the kind of sandbox game I play, if there was such a neighbor who provoked me and didn't know whether to live or die, I would have wiped them out the second time."

"The Republic's temper is considered good, and it has repeatedly proposed negotiations, but the Vietnam Federation completely ignored it."

"Finally."

"The Republic decided to fight." "Since we are fighting, we must be fast and ruthless."

"Thus." "The counterattack battle began."

"The war was actually very fast."

"It only lasted about 20 days, because another 10 days were spent withdrawing troops."

"So there is no need to watch the plot."

"It's better to listen to my explanation."

"First is the first stage."

"The Republic launched a surprise attack and captured important towns of the Vietnam Federation such as Cao Bang and Lao Cai in just a few days."

"The troops of the Vietnam Federation resisted with the advantage of being familiar with the terrain."

"But the Republic is the ancestor of playing Mobile Corps Commander warfare."

"Not to mention who helped them use Mobile Corps Commander tactics to repel the American Federation."

"It was the Republic."

"Facing the Vietnam Federation's Mobile Corps Commander tactics, the Republic used a simple detour and flanking maneuver to successfully disintegrate the Vietnam Federation's defense line."

"Immediately after, it occupied Lang Son and pressed straight to the Vietnam Federation's capital, Hanoi."

As he spoke, streamer Wu Jie said:

"Wait a minute."

"I'll find a picture."

Then he flipped through his game screenshots, quickly found a map of the Republic and the Vietnam Federation, hung it in the live broadcast room, and said:

"Everyone look."

"This is the map after the Republic occupied Lang Son."

"Of course."

"Looking at it this way, it seems to be relatively far, but this is because of the area of the Vietnam Federation, so the map is enlarged several times."

"In fact, from Lang Son on the east side to the capital of the Vietnam Federation, Hanoi, this distance is only a few dozen kilometers."

"We can see that the surroundings of Hanoi are all mountains."

"Only in the middle, where Hanoi is, there is a little plain, so the capital was set there."

"The distance from Lao Cai to Hanoi is also only more than 100 kilometers."

"It is equivalent to surrounding Hanoi from both sides."

"Don't look at the distance of more than 100 kilometers on one side and a few dozen kilometers on the other, in fact, if you really fight, it's just a few hours' journey."

"In other words."

"Once the Republic's 200,000 troops from both sides drove straight in and arrived at Hanoi."

"The Vietnam Federation might have been destroyed."

"However, the Republic adhered to the principle of friendly coexistence."

"It only carried out strategic deterrence against the Hanoi area after occupying Lang Son."

"In just 28 days."

"The Republic captured 21 counties and cities in 4 provinces in the north of the Vietnam Federation."

"And a few days later."

"The Republic, adhering to the purpose of achieving strategic goals, began to withdraw troops."

"But withdrawing troops is not withdrawing for nothing."

"During the withdrawal process, all the military facilities and mines that had previously aided the Vietnam Federation were taken away by the Republic with all equipment, and those that could not be taken away were blown up."

"After all, we aided you for 28 years, and the mining equipment was all given to you by us, so it's not excessive to take it back now, right?"

"At the same time, it is also to prevent the Vietnam Federation from having evil intentions."

"The Republic also laid a large number of landmines at the border, forming a defensive belt."

"A set of combos."

"Reasonable, favorable, and restrained."

"No one can find fault with it."

"This is indeed the style of [Huaxia] since ancient times, everything emphasizes the word 'reason'."

"But what I want to say is..."

"The times have changed!"

"Not everyone is reasonable."

"Little Japan is unreasonable, the American Federation is unreasonable, the Indian Federation is unreasonable, the Republic almost fought to the capital of the Vietnam Federation, but it was only strategic deterrence, and then it withdrew its troops."

"Very gentlemanly, reasonable, right?"

"If the Vietnam Federation was sensible, it shouldn't have made trouble, right?"

"But it just did."

"Because in this period of 'Earth', various countries had not yet recognized the gap between themselves and the Republic." "This gentlemanly style of the Republic."

"In the eyes of the Vietnam Federation, it was humiliating them."

"That's why they continued to make trouble."

"Actually, it's easy to understand."

"This Vietnam Federation is exactly the same as the Indian Federation."

As he spoke, Wu Jie laughed and said:

"The last one to claim to be the world's third military power was the Indian Federation."

"Then do you know who the next one is?"

Hearing this.

The Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room twitched their mouths, it was already so obvious, who wouldn't know.

How arrogant has the Vietnam Federation become?

Wu Jie smiled and said:

"That's right."

"It's the Vietnam Federation."

"After the Vietnam Federation drove away the American Federation and unified, it was just like the Indian Federation, wanting to inherit the legacy of the previous colonizers."

"That is, the split Laos Federation and Cambodia."

"Wanting to occupy these two and create regional hegemony."

Hearing this.

The Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room were speechless.

Good guy.

This is exactly the same as the Indian Federation's idea.

The Indian Federation wanted to inherit the legacy of the British Commonwealth, so it wanted to occupy East Pakistan and West Pakistan, but only ended up with Bangladesh.

The Vietnam Federation wanted to inherit the legacy of France and form a new regional hegemony.

It's just that the Blue Star players can't figure it out.

If you want to engage in regional hegemony, you should first deal with the Laos Federation and the Cambodia Federation.

You haven't even settled these two yet.

Going to provoke the Republic, isn't this looking for death?

This plot.

If placed in Europe, it would be equivalent to the Empire blitzing Poland, then sending troops to blitz England, blitz France, and at the same time pressing heavy troops to steal the Soviet Federation.

It's simply looking for death.

No wonder these people deserve to be beaten.

How can you fight like this?

Are you capable or not?

The Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room looked at the map in Wu Jie's live broadcast room, pointing and gesturing, they don't know how to fight at all.

Wu Jie smiled and continued:

"So."

"After the Republic completed its strategic goal and 'taught' the disobedient Vietnam Federation a lesson."

"It thought about withdrawing troops."

"But this kind of withdrawal is a humiliation for the entire Vietnam Federation."

"Why?"

"Because they have been immersed in the fantasy that they are the world's third military power."

"What's even more outrageous?"

"It's that when they were fantasizing that they were the world's third military power, they still thought that the Republic's combat effectiveness was not as good as theirs."

"So."

"After being 'taught a lesson' by the Republic, the Republic withdrew its troops."

"That's why the Vietnam Federation was so broken."
