Chapter 92: Shen Yan: A real nuclear bomb dropped on our heads?!
As the official from the American Freedom Federation finished speaking, people in the conference hall kept raising their hands in agreement.
Then the scene shifted; all the radio stations were broadcasting this news. Many people in front of their televisions were shocked. Although some did not believe such a thing, more were filled with worry.
The perspective shifted across various parts of the world.
All the citizens had come to believe that the bottle of white powder was a chemical weapon capable of killing tens of thousands of people.
And the meeting being broadcast on television had reached the moment to strike the gavel. Even though some people opposed it, with the fall of the gavel, the matter was settled.
The scene shifted once again.
The American Freedom Federation’s airplanes, helicopters, and tanks all began to move. Missiles in the sky continuously struck a certain city. The American Freedom Federation’s precision guidance combined with the assault of armored units.
On the map, the speed of the American Freedom Federation’s advance was even faster than the imperial blitzkrieg during the "Second World War."
This part did not have detailed footage, but scenes of the American Freedom Federation’s military coordination flashed by from time to time, and then it showed parts of the map being occupied.
Just from this, one could tell that the American Freedom Federation was using a new type of tactic, and the equipment and devices within it already belonged to the modern era.
For the Blue Star side, although it was very backward, it could be completely transplanted and improved to become a troop training program on Blue Star, enhancing the strength of the troops.
Following the introduction of the footage, Zhao Ming clicked on the virtual projection to return to the main interface:
"How is this?"
"Can you understand it?"
Shen Qinghan was thoughtful:
"It seems to be a new tactic?"
"The first part is 'public opinion warfare'? I didn't understand the latter part, but the equipment is much more advanced than in the 'Second World War'."

Zhao Ming spoke up:
"That's right."
"This is 'Modern Warfare,' and it's still early-stage modern warfare. The subsequent '2022' will be even more insane, and there are many more after '2022,' but I won't show those."
"Because they haven't been made yet."
After speaking, Zhao Ming adjusted the order of the four games back:
"Currently, according to the release order, it is 'Second World War,' next year is 'First World War,' and the year after is 'Modern Warfare'."
"You take this set of data CGs and give it to the officials of other federations."
"See if they have any interest."
"According to the release order, by the time 'Modern Warfare' is released, it will only be the year after next. They should be able to afford to wait. Since they have to wait, they must stand with us."
Zhao Ming sent Shen Qinghan a key:
"As for the Great Xia Federation, if they want to experience it... they can try this."
"[Republic's Blue] Feel the fighting style of modern warfare."
"I will subsequently produce missions that guide them step by step from simple to difficult."
"As long as enough value is demonstrated, for example, keeping the Great Xia Federation's training one step ahead of other federations, then it wouldn't be excessive to make some demands to the federation, right?"
"For example... let those idiots get lost."
Shen Qinghan's eyes lit up:
"Not excessive."
"If it's like this, then it's easy to handle."
"I'll take it to the Northern Army to try out first, experience it, and then hand it over to the federation."
Zhao Ming reminded her:
"This is a mission for thirty-two units. It's best to gather thirty-two units before starting."
This mission was still too difficult for the current Great Xia Federation, but it could give all the Great Xia Federation's troops a resounding slap in the face, and then they would honestly start practicing from the Second World War onwards.
Shen Qinghan was a bit puzzled, but still nodded.
Soon, she took the game data CGs to be released later to contact the officials of other federations. The key was also sent to Shen Yan of the 7th Special Operations Brigade, and she instructed him that he needed to contact the old master, as thirty-two units were needed to start the mission.
But... how could Shen Yan listen?
Night fell.
The 7th Special Operations Brigade had just finished their training, and the evening rest time had just passed.
Half of the men were called by Shen Yan to the training ground.
As everyone entered the virtual pods, Shen Yan entered the key in the room.
The next second.
The screen shifted abruptly, and a few large characters appeared before everyone's eyes.
[Republic's Blue]
Then came the introduction to this Republic troop:
[This is the Republic Army's First Blue Force Brigade, the Republic's only professional simulated Blue Force unit. This brigade exists as a "hypothetical enemy," providing the Republic's troops with realistic combat confrontation training through highly simulated tactics, equipment, and combat methods.]
Looking at these introductions, Shen Yan became interested and pondered:
"Can we turn the 7th Special Operations Brigade into such a 'Blue Force' brigade? Become a 'hypothetical enemy,' and then train with whichever unit we want to train with?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Shen Yan thought:
"I'll have to discuss it with the old master later."
"This is much more interesting than guarding the Songor Ice Field."
Subsequently, the text slowly disappeared, and what came into everyone's view was a huge cabin. They were fully armed, and prompts and usage methods popped up at a glance. After Shen Yan understood it using the intercom.
He discovered that the hundreds of people he brought were distributed in the cabins of four military transport planes.
Then he organized the equipment.
Shen Yan checked with Qu Guang and the special operations battalion commanders under his command:
"Not bad."
"Individual night vision goggles, thermal imagers, large-caliber sniper rifles, individual integrated combat systems, navigation terminals,"
"Anti-tank rocket launchers, individual tactical radios, and several all-terrain vehicles."
"This equipment is quite backward compared to our Blue Star, but it's much stronger than 70 years ago."
"No wonder they say the Republic has changed a lot after 70 years."
"If such equipment were equipped for the entire army, wouldn't it be the strongest infantry on the surface?"
This equipment all had prompts, and they could use it as soon as they got their hands on it. It was a bit worse than Blue Star, but they had no problem using it normally.
Qu Guang said with a smile:
"Dream bigger."
"Since it's already the strongest on the surface, just use firepower coverage."
Shen Yan smiled and nodded:
"That's true."
"I just don't know how strong this Blue Force brigade is."
At this moment.
A mission prompt popped up before everyone's eyes.
[Please head to the Inner Mongolia Plain to fight against the Republic's Blue Force brigade.]
Then a virtual map was displayed.
On a plain on the map, a blue dot was flashing, and in the southeast direction, there was an airplane icon, also flashing as it flew toward the Inner Mongolia Plain.
Suddenly!
Dense red dots appeared in front of the plane, rapidly approaching it.
Before everyone could react.
A small red dot showed it had made contact with the plane, and then...
Boom!!!
The large military transport plane Shen Yan was riding in was hit by a missile. The missile directly destroyed the front part of the cabin. The scorching heat wave swept through, and the plane exploded in mid-air, directly taking away all the hundred or so people inside.
In the training ground.
Shen Yan, who had only been lying in for three minutes, sat up, and at the same time, hundreds of soldiers in the training ground sat up one after another. Shen Yan was still a bit dazed at this time:
"That's it?"
Qu Guang beside him was also dazed:
"It really just ended like that?"
"Outrageous."
"How do you play this mission? We were killed before we even landed."
"There's no cover to hide in the sky."
Shen Yan gritted his teeth:
"Start another round."
The hundreds of people in the training ground lay back into the virtual pods again.
After starting, the screen flashed.
The sound of a train speeding on the tracks reached their ears, and the scenery outside the window flashed by rapidly.
A random start.
This made Shen Yan and the others breathe a sigh of relief. A train is good; even if a missile comes, they can jump out the window to dodge. At this speed... they shouldn't die, right?
Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, Shen Yan's mouth twitched.
It's fine.
Blue Star people have plenty of nutrition and strong physiques; they won't die from a fall.
Then Shen Yan gathered the cadres again. Compared to being on the plane, this time everyone was on the same train, which was much more convenient. Soon, the mission and a temporary virtual map popped up.
As soon as the virtual map unfolded, it showed a red dot approaching rapidly. Shen Yan's scalp went numb instantly:
"Again?"
"Everyone, jump off the train!"
At Shen Yan's command.
No one questioned it. Even though it was a speeding train, they all opened the windows and jumped out.
Looking down from high altitude, one could see dense small black dots jumping out from both sides of the speeding train and rolling on the ground, but this could not cause any harm to the soldiers of the 7th Brigade.
The willpower tempered in [Bloody Battle at Samso-ri] and [Songgu Peak Blocking Battle] alone was enough to make them grit their teeth and persist.
Shen Yan had just stood up.
When he saw a small missile fall, hitting the train 400 meters ahead of them on the tracks. The members of the 7th Special Operations Brigade breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they jumped off the train; if they had been a second later...
The next second.
A sun slowly rose on the ground in the distance.
"Damn it—!!!!"
"I don't believe it, again!"
The large characters [Republic's Blue] lit up again. This time, the members of the 7th Special Operations Brigade appeared less than 10 kilometers away from the Blue Force brigade.
"Turn off all electronic equipment, Special Battalion 1 leads the way."
"Bring enough weapons and ammunition, leave other heavy equipment where it is."
"Special Battalions 2, 3, and 4 split up and rush to surround the Blue Force brigade from three directions."
"Move fast!"
"Don't let them discover us!"
Soon.
"Three kilometers left."
"Everyone, get ready for battle."
A faint buzzing sound suddenly sounded from the sky, followed by a dense buzzing sound.
As soon as they looked up, the black dots filling the sky were already falling like rain.
"What the hell... drones?"
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The characters [Republic's Blue] lit up again.
"There's rocket artillery this time?!"
"Bomb the Blue Force brigade's coordinates for me!!!"
In just a few rounds of firing, all the ammunition was cleared.
And the rest of the people set off to rush to the Blue Force brigade base 7 kilometers away.
Suddenly.
On the land of the Inner Mongolia Plain, a vibration was faintly felt.
"Mobile Corps Commander, it's tanks!"
Boom!!!
[Mission Ended]
In the 7th Special Operations Brigade training ground.
Shen Yan sat up from the virtual pod again, his brows furrowed:
"No, fighting like this is not a way."
"We can't even see them."
Qu Guang also looked numb:
"This is not something humans can fight."
"Damn, how is it that the Republic's 70 years of development feels more terrifying than Blue Star's 300 years?"
Shen Yan rolled his eyes:
"Blue Star can only fight a few battles, and tactics are still updated from the 'Second World War'."
"No, I can't be the only one getting beaten up."
"Better give it to the higher-ups."
Qu Guang looked speechless:
"Report it?"
"So it was meant for the higher-ups after all."
Shen Yan chuckled:
"I was just thinking of practicing."
"Who knew this mission was so insane."
"I can't be the only one getting beaten up."
"Dismissed, dismissed, rest today."
Saying this, he stood up and walked out. Seeing this, Qu Guang looked at Shen Yan's back and shouted:
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Shen Yan spoke up:
"I'm going to give some friendly forces a heads-up; a new exclusive mission has come out."
"Hurry up and grab the first batch of training spots."
Black lines flashed across Qu Guang's head. It's truly bad luck to know you.
The next day.
After a brief study, the Northern Army gathered thirty-two units and entered [Republic's Blue] together.
Inside the mission.
On the speeding train.
Shen Yan looked at the list in his hand, and Qu Guang leaned over to take a look:
"Wow, they're all here."
Not only are there artillery, infantry, rocket troops, but also various special operations brigades, chemical defense brigades, electronic warfare brigades,
drone brigades, and so on.
Aiming at their experience of being wiped out yesterday, all the units that the "Earth" Blue Force brigade had, and for which they had countermeasures, were stuffed in. Qu Guang's face showed a smile:
"This is interesting."
"I just don't know who will be the unlucky one."
Yesterday, one-on-one, they were directly hit by nuclear bombs and rockets.
Now there are 31 friendly forces to share the firepower, so the probability of being hit becomes 1/32.
The probability of approaching the Blue Force brigade is higher now.
Just as they were studying.
A mission prompt appeared before their eyes, still the mission to confront the Republic's Blue Force brigade, followed by a virtual map.
On the map at this time, not only was there the Blue Force brigade marker in the center of the plain.
There were also the coordinates of the thirty-two units of the Great Xia Federation Army. Looking at the virtual map, they were surrounding the Inner Mongolia Plain from all directions. Qu Guang nodded upon seeing this:
"This is much more reasonable."
Shen Yan also had a smile on his face, staring intently at the virtual map:
"That's right."
"Let me see which one..."
"Damn!"
Red dots began to appear on the virtual map, flying toward the various units of the Great Xia Federation, and among them was...
The direction of the 7th Special Operations Brigade was already closing in. Shen Yan shouted:
"Everyone, jump off the train!!!"
He himself jumped out first, rolling on the ground.
And this time, having gained experience, all the soldiers of the 7th Special Operations Brigade, after jumping off the train, were all looking for cover, fearing that another nuclear bomb would fall.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
A series of missiles fell, and the speeding train was destroyed on the spot.
Fortunately, it wasn't a nuclear bomb. The members of the 7th Special Operations Brigade breathed a sigh of relief, but soon discovered the problem. Looking at the distance on the virtual map, there was no train now.
"More than 40 kilometers away, are we supposed to run there in a cross-country armed race?"
+
"Run then... it's not like we haven't run this far before."
(It's killing me... the part about Blue Star facing the Blue Force brigade isn't finished yet, I'll update the daily 8 chapters first)
