Chapter 250

The discussion in the stream room was endless.

But no matter how they discussed it, it was very clear that the US Federation's current strength and logistics capability were definitely much stronger than the previous British Federation and Soviet Federation.

You have to know that the British Federation ruled here more than 100 years ago.

And the Soviet Federation ruled here more than 10 years ago, but based on the level the US Federation showed in 1991, many predicaments seemed to be solvable with their powerful logistics capability.

And there is one more point.

The US Federation is not without a just cause.

Entering the Afghanistan Federation under the banner of anti-terrorism belongs to a very correct stance.

Even if other countries or federations wanted to manipulate public opinion, they couldn't.

Because it was indeed Al-Qaeda that hijacked the planes first and made a move against the US Federation, and only then, a month later, did the US Federation suddenly start anti-terrorism.

And the process was the same as in the past.

Facing the invasion of a powerful empire, the regime of the Afghanistan Federation collapsed quickly.

But it turned into Mobile Corps Commander warfare.

They have been doing this since ancient times, and until now... they have already Mobile Corps Commander-ed away one empire after another.

It's just that now, I don't know how long the US Federation can hold out.

After all, compared to other empires or dynasties in history.

At this time, after the disintegration of the Soviet Federation, the US Federation has truly become the only superpower on "Earth" in the real sense.

Facing the US Federation at this time.

Even the Russian Federation, which inherited most of the Soviet Federation's legacy, is at a disadvantage.

As the Blue Star netizens' guesses slowly stopped.

Yu Feng also took out a stack of new intelligence and data and said:

"I've skipped two years of the plot during this time."

"The current timeline has reached 1959; summarizing the changes within 'Earth,' they are still quite large."

"Many pieces of intelligence need to be heard in combination."

"This makes it easier to understand this Cold War situation."

"First, let's look at the Soviet Federation."

"In 1957, the Soviet Federation finally surpassed the US Federation in technology and launched the first satellite on 'Earth'."

"It also marked that the Soviet Federation surpassed the US Federation in space technology."

"This might not seem like much to us."

"But immersing oneself in that environment at the time, with nuclear weapons filling the world and everyone being on the ground, suddenly discovering that the opponent could deploy weapons in space..."

"... that would make it very hard to fall asleep."

"After all, no one knows if the Soviet Federation will send nuclear bombs into space and then let them drift over the US Federation's territory to drop them."

As he spoke, Yu Feng took out a few newspapers.

He placed them in the stream room's perspective for the Blue Star netizens in the room to see:

"Such remarks are not rare."

"At the time, it truly caused a huge wave of panic in the US Federation."

In the newspapers.

Many US Federation newspaper offices, celebrities, and social figures were all expressing worrying remarks.

After all, space for the Earth of 1957 at the time was something that could only be observed through telescopes; humanity had never been involved in it.

The opponent suddenly got a space satellite up there; who knows if they have space weapons?

And the US Federation was far ahead of the world at the time, but the Soviet Federation gave them such a surprise that it directly caused the US Federation to shake.

Yu Feng continued:

"We'll talk about the US Federation's reactions and countermeasures in a moment; let's continue to see what has happened in these two years."

"Next is 1958, when the Soviet Federation visited the Republic."

"They proposed building a joint fleet and a long-wave radio station in the Republic, but were rejected by the Republic's side; it is said that they broke out into more than one argument."

"Although the radio station was eventually built."

"But the relationship between the two sides already had a subtle change."

"Then there is the matter of the joint fleet."

"The Soviet Federation side proposed that the Soviet Federation and the Republic form a fleet together, and at the same time, allow other national leagues or federations within the camp to join."

"And the base for the joint fleet would be placed in the Republic."

"The two sides eventually parted on bad terms."

"I sent people to investigate this in detail, and I've found out the gist of it."

"First is the matter of the long-wave radio station."

"Because the Soviet Federation, in terms of strategic needs, wanted to counter the US Federation's military layout in the Asian region, but everyone knows the US Federation's layout."

"That is, the circle around the Republic."

"And the Soviet Federation also has federations and countries supported within that circle, such as the India Federation, Vietnam, etc., which requires real-time control."

"At the same time, it is also to command their newly developed nuclear submarines from an ultra-long distance, which can secretly monitor the US Federation's ultimate weapons."

"But the Republic is in the middle."

"The distance between the southern end of the Republic and the southern end of the Soviet Federation is about 3,500 kilometers."

"Such an ultra-long distance, in the environment at the time, must use a long-wave radio station."

"And the idea given by the Soviet Federation side was that the Soviet Federation would contribute 70% of the funding and the Republic would contribute 30%, with usage rights distributed according to the investment ratio."

"This idea didn't seem to have any problems on the Soviet Federation side."

"But from the Republic's side, it was too outrageous."

"You are building important military facilities on our land, and then you want to control the majority according to the investment?"

"Isn't this a joke?"

"The Republic's condition was that building it is fine, but the Republic would fully fund and build it itself; the Soviet Federation could provide technical support, and usage rights could be discussed later."

"Otherwise, wanting to build so many military facilities that don't belong to the Republic on the Republic's land is definitely not okay."

"The Soviet Federation side discussed it and finally confirmed this condition."

"But the relationship between the two sides was already a bit subtle."

"Especially with the subsequent controversy over the joint fleet."

"I said it before."

"The Soviet Federation wanted to counter the US Federation's military layout in the Asian region, so it couldn't do without the Republic in the middle and many countries in the south."

"When proposing the joint fleet, the Soviet Federation hinted to the Republic that later on, East Asian countries like the Vietnam Federation might join."

"Up to here, there was actually no problem."

"But the person in charge on the Soviet Federation side hinted in their words that it was all to serve the purpose of resisting US Federation imperialist aggression."

"The Republic's navy during this period had almost no combat capability; since it was a joint fleet, and the base was also chosen in the Republic..."

"... then who would be the main force?"

"The main force would be the Soviet Federation, with the Republic as an auxiliary, and then other small East Asian federations would join."

"And then everyone would happily use the Republic's vast maritime control to counter the US Federation's fleets, submarines, and so on."

"It looks very good."

"But look at it from another angle."

"Standing from the Republic's perspective, our navy currently has no combat capability, and we only have a few ships, and then the Soviet Federation sends many warships over."

"Later, there's the addition of small Southeast Asian countries, so the question arises."

"Since that's the case."

"Then is the Republic still going to develop its naval power?"

"Right?"

"Since there's already a ready-made one, why develop naval power?"

"But if you don't develop naval power, then the Republic's maritime sovereignty will be lost."

"It's clearly our own vast sea area, yet it has to become a place where the Soviet Federation and many small Southeast Asian countries can come and go freely."

"One minute they say it's to resist US Federation imperialist aggression."

"The next they want the Republic to give up its maritime sovereignty; this is too bullying."

"Who could agree to this?"

"So the matter of the joint fleet eventually ended on bad terms."

"According to the intelligence here."

"Currently, the relationship between the Soviet Federation and the Republic has dropped to the freezing point."

"So it is said that the world is impermanent."

"Rising to the national level, there are many things that cannot be conceded."

"Even if the relationship is good, it will become a stranger."

Yu Feng shook his head and then said:

"In reality."

"This is also related to the national conditions of both sides."

"First, we need to understand the composition of both sides."

"Although they are in the same camp."

"But the Soviet Federation believes that the camp is a whole, so everything within the camp must be shared, and the Soviet Federation does exactly that."

"Because those satellite states of the Soviet Federation in Europe all serve the Soviet Federation and dare not have the slightest resistance."

"So when facing the Republic, the Soviet Federation subconsciously treated the Republic as a satellite state, demanding conditions for the Republic to share its territory, sea areas, and so on."

"But they forgot."

"The Republic has stood in Asia for thousands of years; it's just that it has been a bit backward in recent years, which doesn't mean the Republic should be manipulated at will like those satellite states."

"This kind of behavior that damages national sovereignty is absolutely not allowed."

"The Soviet Federation, used to being the boss, naturally wouldn't make concessions, and the Republic, which had finally been liberated, how could it allow foreign forces to station troops in its country?"

"The contradiction and conflict arose."

"After the two sides parted on bad terms following the fleet incident."

"Soon."

"In 1959, which is the plot timeline I am currently in."

"The Soviet Federation first unilaterally stopped the contract, no longer provided technical assistance, and began to gradually withdraw the experts they had sent."

"At the same time."

"On the issue of the border conflict between the Republic and the India Federation, the Soviet Federation took the side of the India Federation, which further intensified the contradictions between the two sides."

"And recently, the Soviet Federation has had frequent exchanges with the US Federation."

"The posture of the two sides has eased somewhat."

"But players with a fast plot timeline should already know that at the end of the year, the Soviet Federation will visit the US Federation."

"The relationship between the two sides seems to have eased quite a bit."

"Currently, these are the situations in the Soviet Federation camp."

"It can be seen that in just two years, the changes in the world situation have been extremely large."

Yu Feng flipped through the intelligence in his hand, put down all the Soviet ones, and then said:

"Let's look at the US Federation side."

"Still starting from 1957, the first is the establishment of the US Federation's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in order to cope with future space warfare and the Soviet Federation's technological advantages."

"There's nothing to say about this; it's still calm for now."

"Then there is 1958, when the Asian situation was tense, the Republic bombarded Kinmen, and the US Federation fleet entered the Republic's strait."

"Of course, it eventually ended up with nothing."

"The US Federation continued to strengthen the blockade of the Republic while strengthening its military deployment in the Asian region."

"It's not just isolating the Republic in this regard."

"The US Federation also united with countries and federations in the western camp to obstruct the Republic from restoring its seat in the United Nations."

"At the same time, in 1959."

"The Soviet Federation visited the US Federation, and the relationship between the two sides eased, but it also made some countries within the camp dissatisfied."

"After all, both sides originally had grudges."

"What's the deal with you two bosses suddenly shaking hands?"

"It's like two gangs fighting, with the underlings fighting to the death and even suffering many casualties, and then the two bosses suddenly start chatting with a cigarette each."

"How does this make the underlings on both sides who are fighting outside feel?"

"So how should I put this matter."

"Of course, one doesn't seek political affairs when not in that position; we are just guessing, and it's hard to evaluate the specifics."

"After all, it's just game plot."

"This is the current change in the two camps within 'Earth'."

"Two years ago, the two sides that didn't interact at all suddenly seemed to want to shake hands and make peace, and then the Republic was isolated by both sides."

"It has become like the initial CG, when that greedy giant bear and the arrogant white-headed eagle were both eyeing this Republic."

"Having finished talking about both sides, let's look at the changes in the Republic over these two years."

"First is that the Republic's 'Two Bombs, One Satellite' plan has already started, which means that in a few years, the Republic will possess nuclear weapons."

"From then on, no one will ever point at our noses and say they want to nuke us."

"Next is the 1958 sovereignty incident; regarding the long-wave radio station and the joint fleet, the Republic emphasized sovereignty, while the Soviet Federation insisted on sharing."

"The two sides parted on bad terms."

"The rift in the camp was thus created."

"Then there is the border conflict between the Republic and the India Federation in 1959."

"It started in 1951, when the India Federation quietly moved the boundary markers."

"The Republic side proposed negotiations to resolve the border issue."

"But the India Federation side firmly demanded that the Republic first withdraw from the border and also demanded 12.5 square kilometers of territory as a prerequisite for negotiations."

"The Republic naturally couldn't agree to this kind of demand."

"The Soviet Federation already hit a wall, not to mention the India Federation's unreasonable demands."

"The friction on the border between the two sides deepened, and finally in 1959, the first armed conflict broke out, causing casualties."

"And as the big brother of the camp on this side, the Soviet Federation's reaction was very strange."

"After all, the parting on bad terms in 1958 and the unilateral termination of the contract and withdrawal of aid in 1959 all indicated everything."

"The Soviet Federation blamed the Republic and claimed that the India Federation had more deaths, so they were the weak side and the Republic was the party at fault."

"They demanded that the Republic make concessions on the territorial issue."

"Obviously, the Republic couldn't accept this kind of reason."

"After all, the reason for the armed conflict between the Republic and the India Federation was that the India Federation's soldiers crossed the Republic's border line with weapons; there's nothing to say even if they were killed."

"The viewpoint that whoever has more deaths is the party at fault is too outrageous."

"The Republic obviously cannot accept it."
