Chapter 226: 【The American Federation's Second-Phase Offensive】(4k)

From 1991 to 2001, ten years.

The location in the projection screen was still a city in the desert; if nothing went wrong, it should still be here in the Middle East.

Had the war in the Iraqi Federation not ended?

This thought flashed through Shen Qinghan's mind.

Just as she was thinking.

The projection slowly switched.

The scene that appeared this time was a city destroyed by artillery fire, still inhabited by many civilians, with burning vehicle wreckage scattered everywhere on the streets.

In the distance, there was a very intact base, but it was flying the American Federation flag, and there were many fully armed American Federation soldiers patrolling.

And the scene opposite to it.

Was a steep mountainous area; looking down, there were several village ruins below, but contrary to the surface ruins was the underground cross-section projection.

Through the projection, one could see tunnels densely connected everywhere underground, including the steep mountain, hiding who knew how many ambush points.

Then this projection moved to the right, and the projection that had just disappeared also slowly appeared on the left.

Two projections side by side.

The large characters 【Iraq】 appeared below the left projection, and 【Afghanistan】 appeared below the right projection.

Then these two projections dissipated.

The words "To be developed 【Arab Spring】" appeared.

Zhao Ming said:

"This is a DLC that will be opened later."

"With the foreshadowing of the current Iraqi plot, it will be easier for players to experience it later."

"At the same time, some challenge plots will be opened."

Saying this.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, and the projection changed immediately.

Shen Qinghan was familiar with these pictures and the names below this time.

Because it was at the very beginning when Zhao Ming showed her those concept pictures of 【Modern Warfare】, but now they were much more perfected.

Below each projection poster, the unit name and mission were marked:

【Navy SEALs】:

"Players will play as commando members, executing underwater demolition (BUD/S) or high-difficulty infiltration missions, such as raiding Russian Federation nuclear submarines or behind-enemy-lines decapitation operations."

【Green Berets】:

"Focusing on unconventional warfare, players will find ways to incite local armed forces, sabotage enemy supply chains, and other action missions."

【Alpha Group】:

"As the Russian Federation's counter-terrorism elite unit, players need to handle crisis events similar to the 'Airport Massacre,' or hunt down remnants of Makarov's faction."

Below was written "Challenge Mode Plot."

Zhao Ming said:

"These missions will restore the excitement and professionalism of real special operations."

"It should spark a wave of competition by then."

"Because this isn't just about players needing to compete; the difficulty of some plots is such that even if the special forces of the six major federations came, they would accidentally GG."

"And these are as counter-terrorism plot modes."

"Similarly."

"The bandit faction will also be opened for players to confront the counter-terrorism faction."

Saying this, Zhao Ming pointed again.

The projection of the counter-terrorism elite series team in front of him suddenly changed into masked, fierce-eyed bandit organizations, marked below:

【Al-Qaeda】【Jihad Organization】【Tali...】 and a series of densely packed organizations.

Compared to the limited number of American Federation counter-terrorism units and Russian Federation counter-terrorism units.

There were too many organizations in these bandit factions; Shen Qinghan took a rough look, and there were no fewer than twenty:

"So many?"

"Can they be struck down?"

Zhao Ming said:

"There are many."

"But the gap is large."

"The equipment of one counter-terrorism unit on the American Federation side is enough to crush the vast majority of organizations here."

"The confrontation between the two sides is not equal, so the bandit faction needs to use every possible method to hunt down the American Federation's counter-terrorism units."

"And in this process, there may be many places where players need to make choices."

"As for what the final result will be, it still depends on how the players choose."

"When it ends."

"There will be a settlement screen, as well as what kind of destruction and casualties this terrorist organization caused."

"It can also be considered as looking at the destructiveness of war from another angle."

Shen Qinghan nodded, thought for a moment, and said:

"The idea is good."

"But I feel it will trigger some public opinion."

After all, playing as a counter-terrorism unit is fine, but what's with playing as a bandit?

Zhao Ming said:

"Blocking is not as good as dredging."

"Although the effect of anti-war propaganda is very good, if it continues for a long time, the effect will gradually weaken."

"And even if the propaganda effect is good, there will still be people advocating for war, so it's better to specifically create an identity plot, which is the bandit faction of organizations like 【Al-Qaeda】【Jihad Organization】."

"Through the identity of these terrorist organizations, let the anger of those warmongers be dredged out."

"Anyway, it's just data."

"Venting in the game is better than spreading it everywhere on the internet."

"Maybe they will even become addicted to the game and won't have time to spread and advocate for war everywhere on the internet."

Zhao Ming said this while thinking about the methods of those terrorist organizations on "Earth."

Some cruel methods, let alone 18+ banned, even people in their tens wouldn't dare to watch; if those fanatical warmongers of Blue Star played as bandits.

Zhao Ming wasn't sure if those Blue Star warmongers would vomit after seeing the methods of terrorist organizations...:

It was truly unbearable.

Even he, the creator, only took a look after taking the data from the 【Earth Database】 and threw it to the photon supercomputer to render.

He didn't want to look at it a second time at all.

Hopefully those fanatical warmongers of Blue Star are as powerful as they clamor online, and don't vomit when they see someone being beheaded.

And if someone really becomes exceptionally excited because of the methods of those terrorists.

The game will also record it.

Upload it to the backend, and the backend will synchronize it to the Daxia Federation's security center for key marking.

Testing those warmongers who advocate for war through the game is also an innovative method of Polar Star.

A few days later.

Tian Sha livestream platform.

In the "Modern Warfare: World Hegemon" section.

As soon as one entered the section, the scenes in the densely packed livestream screens were basically scenes of yellow sand filling the sky, and a large part of them were even in the middle of battle.

It had been more than 10 days since the game launched.

The airstrikes in the game had also been going on for nearly 30 days.

The Blue Star players had completely given up.

They had tried every method, but couldn't stop the American Federation's dimensionality-reduction strike, and after persisting in resistance for more than 10 days, the Blue Star players suddenly realized something was wrong.

They couldn't compete with the American Federation in consumption either!

The Blue Star players who originally wanted to resist tenaciously suddenly remembered the amount of weapons and ammunition the American Federation consumed during the Peninsula War.

If thrown into the current Iraqi Federation, the Iraqi Federation might not be able to hold on.

Not to mention that it was already 1991, more than 40 years after the Peninsula War.

The American Federation's technological weapons had developed to this point, and ammunition inventory was the most basic; what was the point of fighting this?

The Blue Star players simply gave up, turning to collect various intelligence, waiting to see the command of the NPCs in the Iraqi Federation.

So taking advantage of the airstrike period, the Blue Star players collected quite a bit of intelligence from this period in 1991.

In 1990, which was last year in the game's plot timeline, many countries in Europe began to break away from the Eastern camp, including the Eastern Empire.

The Eastern Empire and the Western Empire completed their merger last year; this empire, which had been divided since the end of World War II in 1945, finally merged after more than 40 years.

Then, starting in 1980, the American Federation actually came up with a "Star Wars" plan, meaning to develop space weapons.

It was just that the information collected by the Blue Star players wasn't complete, but seeing this, they were still shocked.

Damn?

To what extent had the American Federation's technology developed?

Developing space weapons in the 80s?

You have to know that the timeline now is only the 90s.

Looking at it this way.

The high-tech weapons the American Federation used in the Iraqi Federation didn't count for much; it was already space, wasn't this just a small skirmish on the ground?

Little did they know.

This was just something the American Federation came up with to drag down the Soviet Federation's economy.

It was just that the Blue Star players didn't know.

Looking at the intelligence on their phones, in the past 40 years, although it was still a confrontation between the two major camps.

But with the unification of the Eastern Empire and the Western Empire.

Europe seemed to have already decided the winner, coupled with the American Federation's so-called "Star Wars" plan.

The last four words in "Modern Warfare: World Hegemon" had already lived up to their name.

And at this time.

The American Federation's airstrikes against the Iraqi Federation in the game were also coming to an end.

In Lei Cheng's livestream.

On the radar screen behind him, there were still American Federation fighter markings flying everywhere over the Iraqi Federation; after this period of bombing.

The sky over the Iraqi Federation already belonged to the Americans.

But this wasn't the key.

The key point was that the American Federation was preparing to launch a ground offensive.

Because Lei Cheng had publicized it early.

So the livestream was full of people, the barrage was non-stop, all urging him to leak the news quickly.

Seeing that the agreed time had arrived, Lei Cheng didn't drag it out.

He directly threw out several defense deployment maps and hung them in the livestream:

"It's here, it's here, brothers."

"This is the current defense deployment situation map of the Iraqi Federation."

The Blue Star friends in the livestream were dumbfounded to see the Iraqi Federation's defense deployment like this.

Although they knew before that the Iraqi Federation had placed most of its troops in Kuwait, they didn't have an intuitive impression, but now with this map...

It was too intuitive.

In such a small place like Kuwait, it was densely packed with armored units.

Except for the large desert near the Iraqi Federation side.

The entire Kuwait was arranged with a large number of troops to guard it, and even to defend Kuwait, they didn't even care about their own home.

From the picture, one could see the border between the Iraqi Federation and Kuwait.

There were still some troops here bordering Saudi Arabia, but going further west, a large blank area appeared at the border with the Saudi Federation, with absolutely no troops deployed for defense.

Lei Cheng said:

"The current situation is that the Iraqi Federation has put all its great army in Kuwait."

"We don't know what they are thinking."

"Not even guarding their own home; are they betting that the American Federation won't attack the Iraqi Federation's mainland?"

"That's a pity..."

"The Iraqi Federation bet wrong."

"Let's look at the American Federation's ground unit layout."

Saying this, Lei Cheng threw out another picture.

Hung it in the livestream.

And this picture was the American Federation's unit layout on the Saudi side.

Lei Cheng said with a smile:

"The American Federation's units here are old friends."

"I believe players who just transferred from World War II should still be very familiar."

"That's right."

"The American Federation unit acting as a feint to confuse Kuwait is the 1st Cavalry Division."

"This 1st Cavalry Division, which had its 'Invincible Division' myth broken by the Volunteer Army in the Battle of Yunshan on the Peninsula battlefield more than 40 years ago, naturally has combat power that cannot be underestimated."

"Now, as a feint unit, it attracts the attention of the Iraqi Federation units."

"As for why it's a feint unit..."

"Let's look at the west side here."

Saying this, Lei Cheng pointed to the Iraqi Federation side in the west.

And conveniently drew two curved blue arrows on the picture as markings.

West side here.

It was also a gathering of the American Federation's great army, and it looked even larger than the one in the east.

Lei Cheng said:

"Because the Iraqi Federation's focus was all placed on Kuwait."

"So this led to the border here being exceptionally empty, with almost no troops stationed."

"So the American Federation's plan is for the main force on the east line to feint and attack Kuwait, attracting Iraq's attention, making them think the coalition forces are the main force attacking Kuwait."

"Subsequently."

"They will take the 200,000-plus troops hoarded in Saudi Arabia and strike directly into the rear of the Iraqi Federation, cutting off the road between Nasiriyah and Kuwait, 'cutting off the logistics supply of Kuwait.'"

"We can see from the map."

"Because it's all desert, the main road is only that one between Nasiriyah and Kuwait."

"As long as this road is cut off, the supplies of the 600,000-plus Iraqi Federation troops in Kuwait will be cut off, and at the same time, their connection with the capital's command center will be cut off."

"This action isn't even likely to fail."

"Because the Iraqi Federation really isn't defending."

Lei Cheng looked at the Iraqi Federation's defense deployment, his expression strange, not knowing what to say.

More than 600,000 troops, all piled up in Kuwait.

Indeed.

No matter where the coalition forces attacked from, the massive troop strength in Kuwait was enough for the rear units to quickly support, and a head-on fight was almost impossible.

So... the American Federation wasn't fighting head-on either.

Feinting Kuwait, the main force struck directly into the belly of the Iraqi Federation.

The Iraqi Federation's troops were mostly hoarded in Kuwait, and with some used for local defense, the American Federation's main force killed its way in.

If they didn't pull the troops from Kuwait back, the American Federation could really manipulate the Iraqi Federation at will.

But if they pulled the troops from the Kuwait Federation back, it would only make the Iraqi Federation look even more stupid, being played around by the American Federation.

And the most fatal thing was that now communications, networks, electricity, etc., had all been cut off by the American Federation.

Once the American Federation's great army killed its way in and cut off the connection between the front and rear, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Federation troops in Kuwait would fall into the predicament of having no one to command them. ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
