Chapter 228: 【Modern Warfare: Global Resistance】DLC(4k)

This fire in the Kuwait Federation continued to burn in the game.

Gradually.

One livestream after another all changed from a hot desert to a scene like hell.

Thick smoke covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the sky over Kuwait.

Even because black rain began to fall from the sky.

It was truly a doomsday scene, and such a scene was entirely caused by humans.

Such a plot development truly exceeded the imagination of Blue Star players.

It also refreshed the worldview of Blue Star players.

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't imagine that the Iraqi Federation would do this, igniting all 700-plus oil wells within the Kuwait Federation.

For a time, they didn't know what to say.

It was truly too ruthless.

Blue Star players suspected that it was just because the Kuwait Federation only had these 700-plus oil wells.

If they could explode Kuwait, they were afraid they would take action without hesitation.

The struggle for resources on Earth.

At this moment made many Blue Star players feel cold.

What if the resources on Blue Star were used up one day?

Would it also become like this?

Many Blue Star players felt worried, but after searching and seeing the surface resources explored on Blue Star, they felt relieved.

It was just thinking too much.

The resources on Blue Star were far, far more than those on Earth.

Even for dozens of generations of descendants, they wouldn't be used up.

In such a comparison.

The struggle for resources by various countries in the "Earth" plot in the game was even more moving.

It was truly too ruthless.

If they couldn't defend it, they would destroy it; the pollution caused alone affected the whole world.

At this time.

In Lei Cheng's livestream.

The map of the Kuwait Federation was being zoomed in, marked with the American Federation's things here.

With the start of the ground war.

In less than four days, the Iraqi Federation's units had completely collapsed.

Under the 30-plus days of airstrike strikes.

That steel torrent, known as the world's fourth-largest military power, was shattered at the touch of the American Federation's mechanized units.

According to statistics from the unit perspective where the Blue Star players' livestreams were located.

In just four days.

The American Federation's mechanized units pushed into Kuwait, smashing 26 divisions of the Iraqi Federation.

And the Iraqi Federation had only deployed 43 divisions in Kuwait in total.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

A large number of Iraqi Federation soldiers began to rob transportation tools, attempting to flee to the north.

But the highway to the north was also cut off by the American Federation.

Going there was also a dead end.

Until the fifth day of the American Federation's ground unit attack.

The Iraqi Federation could no longer hold on.

They accepted the United Nations' ceasefire conditions and withdrew from the Kuwait Federation.

38 days of airstrikes, 5 days of ground advancement, in just 43 days, the American Federation shattered the Iraqi Federation's world hegemon dream.

According to post-war statistics.

The Iraqi Federation suffered over 100,000 casualties and 170,000 were captured.

While the American Federation suffered only a few hundred casualties.

This battle damage ratio truly shocked the Blue Star players; you have to know that on the neighboring Peninsula battlefield, when the American Federation fought the Volunteer Army, the number of people killed in the struggle for a single position was more than a few hundred.

And now...

Destroying the steel torrent of a million-strong army with only a few hundred deaths.

This was also too outrageous.

Little did they know.

Iraq was taking a slap for the whole world.

This evolutionary speed of the American Federation not only shocked these Blue Star players, but other federations in the game were also stunned.

That was why there was the later acceleration of modern warfare transformation by various countries, and constant innovation.

At this time.

In the game.

As the Iraqi Federation accepted the ceasefire agreement and withdrew its remaining troops from Kuwait.

But they refused to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Kuwait Federation.

And seeing this, the American Federation was happy to do so, directly stationing the coalition forces in Kuwait to prevent the Iraqi Federation from "invading."

But the Blue Star players all knew.

Since it was stationed by the American Federation, Kuwait was finished.

There were too many examples in East Asia.

With the end of this short 43-day war, Blue Star players found that Polar Star had opened up free exploration of the Middle East region.

The players who started later were not just the soldier identities of the Iraqi Federation and the American Federation.

But had become the diverse and rich identities like those in 【World War II】.

It was just that the region was limited to the Middle East here.

However, Blue Star players were happy to explore here, because during World War II, it was mainly in Europe, and later during World War I, they ran to the 【Awakening Era】 DLC of the Republic.

By the time of the Peninsula War, it was basically exploring the 【Europe】【Asia】 side.

【Africa】【Middle East】 and other regions hadn't been explored much by Blue Star players last year.

Now that the 【Middle East】 region was opened, it naturally attracted the curiosity of many players.

And so.

Blue Star players flooded in in large numbers, starting as 【Iraqi Federation】【Syrian Federation】【Iranian Federation】【Yemeni Federation】【Saudi Federation】 and so on...

And the Middle Eastern countries during this period.

Including religion, as well as some regulations, truly made Blue Star players suffer quite a bit.

And some also explored different places.

Some joined so-called various organizations and bases, watching the NPCs in the game brainwash themselves, and many Blue Star players issued complaints.

And the next update announcement on the Polar Star official website also linked it.

At this time.

In Shi Yong's livestream.

Previously as a soldier on the Iraqi Federation side, he didn't escape the Kuwait Federation in the end.

But he wasn't beaten to death by the American Federation.

But was smoked to death by the toxic smoke of the burning oil wells; in that doomsday scene, while walking, he suddenly fell to the ground dizzy, and then returned to the game's main interface.

However, because the final fall was consistent with the doomsday scene.

After the video was uploaded to the internet.

It attracted a wave of traffic, adding quite a bit of popularity to the livestream.

And now the identity he started with was within this so-called Afghanistan Federation, but he had inexplicably joined an organization.

After finally getting out of the meeting, Shi Yong found a corner and complained to the Blue Star friends in the livestream:

"Hell."

"What kind of organization is this?"

"They said they wanted to deal with the Soviet Federation, but according to the news learned, the Soviet Federation had already withdrawn its troops from here for more than two years."

"Dealing with them from afar?"

"And these brainwashing scripts... might still be a little useful for NPCs."

"For players, they can't empathize at all."

"Is this some kind of cult?"

As the voice fell, the barrage in the livestream drifted past:

【It's not a cult, it's an organization confronting the American Federation.】

【That's right, go check the latest announcement on the Polar Star official website.】

【Just commit suicide and restart, randomly assign an American Federation identity to experience high-tech.】

【Laugh to death, Blue Star has plenty of high-tech games, you have to experience something you haven't played before.】

【Don't say... you really don't say...】

Looking at the barrage in the livestream, Shi Yong curiously opened the Polar Star official website.

After entering the 【Modern Warfare】 section of the official website.

What came into view was the DLC version update announcement that was about to go online.

Shi Yong looked at the title and read it out:

"【Modern Warfare: Global Counter-Terrorism】... new version."

Clicking into the page.

A row of introductory large characters slowly appeared.

【In 2001, the smoke of the Gulf War had dissipated for ten years, but the situation in the Middle East had never truly been calm.】

【Although the Iraqi Federation was weakened by sanctions, the regional power vacuum gave birth to new conflicts.】

【With the outbreak of the "9/11" incident, the global war on terror kicked off, and the Middle East became the core battlefield for the two major camps to compete.】

Three lines of large characters appeared one after another, then slowly disappeared.

Then the scene that lit up was an airplane flying at high altitude breaking through the clouds, and then the city below suddenly came into view!

It was the American Federation's...

The next second.

The sound of the airplane's interior glass shattering sounded, but the scene stopped abruptly.

The scene flashed.

The desolate Afghanistan mountainous area came into view.

Shi Yong was a bit surprised, because this desolate area in front of him was the Afghanistan mountainous area where he was in the game; was there some plot here?

As the perspective pulled down.

Suddenly entering a cave, a blurry side profile of a bearded man appeared.

And his gaze was fixed on a television set.

It was just because it was a side view.

The Blue Star players couldn't see the screen of the television.

Then the scene slowly disappeared.

Appearing at the height of space.

This stunned the Blue Star netizens in the livestream; they didn't know what connection the two scenes had before—one was the American Federation,

one was Afghanistan, this couldn't be connected.

And the space perspective here.

On the edge of the Middle East region of "Earth" below, a red circle appeared, with a few large characters marked at the core.

【Global Counter-Terrorism War Zone】

Seeing this.

The Blue Star players vaguely understood that the focus next would probably be the Middle East region.

As the scene slowly ended.

What came into view were two opposing dynamic images.

In the images were two opposing camps.

On the left were the elite American Federation special forces, the gun fire illuminating the American Federation badge on the soldiers' helmets, marked below as 【Counter-Terrorism Camp】.

On the right were many fierce-eyed bandits with masks, some holding rifles, some holding bombs, some holding RPGs, with "Expel the Devil" written on the broken mural behind them, marked below as 【Al-Qaeda】.

Looking at the 【Counter-Terrorism Camp】 characters on the left, Shi Yong clicked on it, and an introduction popped up:

【Return to the Middle East in the name of counter-terrorism, using high-tech equipment and air superiority to strike extremist organizations, while secretly supporting proxies to consolidate oil interests.】

【The victors who drove the Iraqi Federation out of Kuwait ten years ago now face a merger of more hidden terrorist organizations and regional resistance forces.】

Looking at the introduction.

Shi Yong clicked on 【Al-Qaeda】 on the right again, and an introduction also popped up:

【From the Afghanistan mountains to the Iraqi ruins, jihadists, tribal armed forces, and remnants of the former regime formed a loose alliance, using Mobile Corps Commander warfare, suicide attacks, and public opinion warfare to resist aggression.】

【Claiming to end the order led by the American Federation, but each harboring religious fanaticism, ethnic hatred, or obsession with revenge.】

Looking at the introduction of these two organizations, Shi Yong smacked his lips:

"It's a bit complicated, brothers."

"This counter-terrorism camp doesn't need to be said, it's very clear."

"It's just various countries led by the American Federation wanting to seek oil interests in the Middle East, occupying the Middle East region in the name of counter-terrorism."

"This Al-Qaeda looks much more complicated."

"What ruins, jihadists, tribes, remnants of the regime, etc., and each has their own religious beliefs, hatreds, etc., etc."

"It's too scattered; I feel like it will be very troublesome to experience the plot."

"I don't want to continue being brainwashed."

Seeing this introduction, how could Shi Yong not understand that the identity he had just started with must be Al-Qaeda or something.

Damn... no wonder he was brainwashed by those NPCs all day.

It turned out that so many chaotic forces all had their own religious beliefs.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Religion is the most suitable for brainwashing.

It was fortunate that they were Blue Star players, otherwise they would really be like those local NPCs, becoming war fanatics.

After all, Blue Star's anti-war propaganda for so many years hadn't been in vain.

Especially that wave last year.

Polar Star's 【World War II】 game made many Blue Star players understand that those who clamor for war all day are just talking nonsense; if you really let them go up, they'd just play dead.

Just like those high-ranking officials in "Earth" who started wars.

So Blue Star players' immunity to brainwashing was doubled.

And the brainwashing of these organizations in the game was just the same old thing over and over, which could only work on local NPC natives who hadn't been to school and had no culture.

Those deceptive scripts made Blue Star players want to laugh.

Facing such deceptive scripts, wanting to play dumb and serious was truly too difficult.

Shi Yong flipped through the announcement.

Then he understood a bit, found the "Earth" world map of 1991, hung it in the livestream, and said:

"According to the global counter-terrorism war zone marked before."

"The entire Middle East region is included."

"And the announcement also clearly states that at this point in time in 2001, the main regions for counter-terrorism are 【Iraqi Federation】 and 【Afghanistan Federation】 here."

"Looking at the explanation, the American Federation is really capable of causing trouble."

"Conducting counter-terrorism operations against both regions in 2001."

The announcement contained brief introductions of 【Iraqi Federation】 and 【Afghanistan Federation】 during the 2001 period.

【Iraqi Federation】 was because of ten years of accumulated grievances and the conflict between the two sides after the people's livelihood withered under the American Federation's sanctions; 【Afghanistan Federation】 mentioned the 9/11 incident, which the American Federation determined was done by Al-Qaeda, so it was a counter-terrorism and self-defense action.

What made Blue Star players more curious was what exactly that so-called 9/11 incident did.

To make the American Federation retaliate like this.

At the same time, they were secretly guessing if this was another smokescreen for the American Federation to deceive the whole world, because with the deception of the Gulf War just now, Blue Star players subconsciously thought of this layer.

And looking at the world map in early 1991.

To the east of the Afghanistan Federation was the Republic, and to the west was the Soviet Federation.

If there wasn't some ulterior motive, who would believe that the American Federation's action was just simple counter-terrorism and self-defense; this location was truly too critical.

It was just that the terrain of the Afghanistan Federation wasn't as flat as Iraq.

There were too many mountainous areas; if Mobile Corps Commander warfare were to be fought here..., ===== CHAPTER 229 =====

There are too many mountains here; if a Mobile Corps Commander war were to break out...
