Chapter 258

Not only that.

Although the superstition in the people's hearts was broken, the long-term passivity made them not know what to do next.

Having had their lives controlled for a long time.

Now that they were suddenly in charge, for a moment they didn't know what to do.

But the People's Liberation Army gave the answer.

After overthrowing the landlord bullies, a village-level association was established in the village, and in the association's courtyard, dozens of households in the village gathered together.

Together, they elected a new village head.

The new village head was also an old tenant farmer who had suffered greatly from landlord oppression.

Good people and good deeds were recognized by all the villagers.

Although those landlords could disguise themselves, it was impossible for anyone to disguise themselves as a good-natured farmer for decades.

After electing the new village head.

The People's Liberation Army side also brought people to teach the new village head the arrangements for the future.

At the same time, they were issuing land certificates to the villagers.

This continued until dark.

This night.

Every household lit candles and oil lamps, and under the dim light, they stared blankly at the land certificates in their hands and the names on them.

Perhaps many villagers did not recognize their own names.

But they knew.

From this moment on, this piece of land belonged to them.

Scenes like this.

Were being played out in the livestream rooms of various regions.

Every time they cleared out a place occupied by bandits, landlords, bullies, gangs, etc., the People's Liberation Army would begin to eradicate the tumors and break down superstition.

Many Blue Star players realized.

This was not simply breaking down superstition and holding trials.

But digging at the roots.

Completely digging out and severing the roots of those bandits, landlords, bullies, and those who controlled the people.

Letting the common people know everything.

This was not the miseducation of the previous dynasty, but... enlightenment and the spreading of sparks!

At this moment.

Many veteran players of the 【China】 history series games, as well as veteran players of the 【WWII】 series of command, couldn't help but feel a shocking tremor.

What kind of courage was this!

Enlightenment!

Never had any dynasty dared to act like this, so thoroughly!

Looking at the changes of dynasties throughout history, it was nothing more than changing the king's flag on the city wall.

New nobles replaced old nobles, sat on that dragon chair, and the means used were still that same set of relying on gods and Buddhas, claiming the divine right of kings.

Or monopolizing knowledge, making the people ignorant.

Or relying on the gentry, practicing the art of "imperial power not reaching the county."

What they feared was precisely this prairie fire, precisely these hundreds of millions of people who had opened their eyes and begun to think independently!

But now!

The newly established Republic was clearly telling hundreds of millions of people who the masters of this country were!

It was the hundreds of millions of people who made up the country!

This was an unprecedented, earth-shaking social reconstruction, shaking not only the guns and the seals of power, but also the shackles that had been deposited in people's hearts for thousands of years.

What kind of spirit! What kind of foresight!

Looking at thousands of years of history.

Never had they seen such a country or dynasty.

The deeper they thought, the more they felt a tremor.

Even when Blue Star players were kings and hegemons in the ancient 【China】 series games, or even unified the world, they didn't dare to carry out such reforms.

Because they clearly knew the consequences of this.

Blue Star players who were used to being kings and hegemons in the games didn't dare to do so.

But the "Republic" had already begun to act.

This kind of spirit.

Even though the Blue Star players knew that everything in "Earth" was a plot, they still felt shocked by it.

Bandit suppression was still continuing.

But looking at the Republic with such spirit.

The Blue Star players only then discovered that the deeper they understood the Republic, and the deeper they understood the Red Side, the more shocked and admiring they felt.

These seemed to be inexhaustible.

Every once in a while, the 【Republic】 could always bring many new shocks to the Blue Star players.

The 【Bandit Suppression】 in the plot was in full swing.

Every day, many bandit dens were uprooted.

It was just that the Blue Star players were curious about what would happen later, because quite a few small groups of bandits had also escaped, but the plot had just begun, and according to the Republic's intensity.

They certainly wouldn't let them go.

They could only wait for the progress of the bandit suppression in the future.

Two days later.

In Fang Ming's livestream room.

Fang Ming was still following the plot of 【Bandit Suppression】 in real-time, but today was the day of Yu Feng's revelations.

A few minutes before Yu Feng started his revelations, Fang Ming also switched over.

Together with the Blue Star friends in the livestream room, they watched the changes in the situation on "Earth."

Soon.

In Yu Feng's livestream room, the revelations had already begun.

In the livestream room.

Yu Feng held a lot of materials and said:

"Alright, brothers."

"It's time for this week's analysis again."

"This issue covers the period from 1971 to 1975."

"The dynamics of the two major camps and the Republic are generally continuing to advance according to previous policies."

"And the military deterrence of the Soviet Federation on a global scale during this period also reached its peak."

"But it also buried quite a few hidden dangers."

"We will explain them one by one."

"Alright."

"Let's analyze and reveal the situation on the Soviet Federation side first."

Yu Feng held the investigated intelligence, as well as intelligence bought from within the American Federation, and said:

"I mentioned before that the Soviet Federation camp was in 1970."

"Supporting armed forces in Angola, Mozambique, and other places in Africa, controlling key mineral resources like cobalt and platinum, and escalating the 'resource war' against the West."

"Permanent fleets were established in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, and a global base network began to take shape."

"Military expansion was rapid."

"Let's look at what happened in 1971."

"First is the intervention in the Indo-Pakistani War."

"Speaking of the Indo-Pakistani War, we have to talk about the British Commonwealth, that troublemaker."

"It has to start from when the British Commonwealth withdrew from the Indian Federation."

"When the British Commonwealth withdrew, the territory was far from what the Indian Federation wanted."

"And after the British Commonwealth withdrew, it estimated that it would split the forces in this region and left behind some disputed areas."

"So after the British Commonwealth withdrew."

"The West Pakistan Federation, the Indian Federation, the East Pakistan Federation, and the disputed Kashmir region appeared in this area."

Yu Feng hung a picture in the livestream room, and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room clearly saw the situation after the partition.

Yu Feng continued to say:

"The so-called Indo-Pakistani War."

"Is the war between the Indian Federation and the East and West Pakistan Federations."

"Four months before the war."

"In order to contain the Republic, the Soviet Federation chose to support the Indian Federation to strengthen its encirclement and containment of the Republic in the southern region."

"At the same time, it was also to gain the right to use the Indian Ocean outlet and expand its influence."

"So the 'Soviet-Indian Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation' was born."

"After implementing the treaty, the Soviet Federation supported the Indian Federation and gave the Indian Federation's equipment a major overhaul."

"Through sea and air transport, it provided India with a large number of advanced tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, fighter jets (such as the MiG-21), and warships."

"Greatly enhancing the combat power of the Indian army."

"And with improved combat power, there will naturally be ambition."

"Everyone is clear about the conflict between the Indian Federation and the Pakistan Federation."

"However, I have to talk about this period."

"Because during this period, there were two Pakistan Federations, East and West."

"Separated in the middle by the Indian Federation."

"With the military support of the Soviet Federation, the overhauled Indian Federation launched a war on the eastern front and achieved a comprehensive victory."

"Dismembering the original East Pakistan Federation."

"Subsequently, the East Pakistan Federation became independent and turned into Bangladesh."

"Realizing the strategy of the Indian Federation."

"At the same time, it also expanded the influence of the Soviet Federation in the Southeast Asian region."

"The West Pakistan Federation turned into the Pakistan Federation and began to lean toward the American Federation and the Republic."

"And the newly formed Bangladesh also leaned toward the Indian Federation and the Soviet Federation."

"This was not a simple aid."

"But a carefully planned national game."

"As for the result, everyone has seen it."

"With the help of the Soviet Federation, the Indian Federation successfully dismembered its main opponent and turned the dismembered Bangladesh into a little brother for itself and the Soviet Federation."

"And the Pakistan Federation leaned toward both the American Federation and the Republic, seeking protection."

"Showing the complex strategic situation in the South Asian region."

"Also in this year."

"The Soviet Federation's missile deployment reached over 1,200."

1

"Surpassing the American Federation in strategic nuclear weapon deployment for the first time."

"However, soon."

"A situation appeared domestically."

Yu Feng looked at the data and said:

"In 1972."

"The Soviet Federation had a food crisis due to a decline in agricultural production."

"And it was at odds with the Republic."

"It could only import grain from Europe and the West on a large scale."

"Consuming a large amount of gold reserves."

"At the same time, it also exposed the imbalanced state of the Soviet Federation's economic structure during these years of crazy expansion."

"But there was no large-scale adjustment."

"Instead, military spending that year soared again."

"Accounting for 20% of the national GDP, and the number of nuclear submarines also soared to 120."

"But fortunately in 1973."

"Because of the energy dividend and rising oil prices, the Soviet Federation's export income soared by 70%."

"And the extra money was also turned into weapons."

"Taking the opportunity to expand military aid and weapon sales to the Middle East and Africa."

"But still..."

"These are all at the national level."

"At the core, the agricultural economy has not recovered."

"Continued agricultural crop failure led to increased grain imports, economic difficulties in Eastern European countries, and the breeding of social dissatisfaction, with opposition sentiment running high."

"This situation, according to the 【China】 history series, what is the term for it?"

"Exhausting the country's strength for military force."

"Roughly, that's what it means."

J

"Crazy military expansion."

"Led to complaints from the bottom of the country."

"But the size of the Soviet Federation could still be maintained at this time."

"Next is 1974."

"The Soviet Federation supported the military government of the Ethiopian Federation in Africa, so it obtained military bases in the Red Sea."

"The strategic chain deployment from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea was basically completed."

"It also test-fired its first multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) missile, and military technology was improved again."

"And this year."

"The Soviet Federation's strategic nuclear warheads soared from 1,200 in 1972 to over 2,400. That's equivalent to more than 600 nuclear warheads a year."

"Producing nearly two nuclear warheads a day on average."

"Still 'Earthlings' indeed."

"Hoarding everything..."

Yu Feng said, shaking his head.

The current situation is that no one dares to make a move because everyone has nuclear weapons, but they just hoard goods crazily, as if whoever has more wins, but in reality, no one dares to make the first move.

Yu Feng continued to look at the data and said:

"Then it's 1975."

"This year."

"The Soviet Federation's military spending accounted for 23% of the national GDP, and it launched a proxy war in Angola, Africa, and achieved a great victory."

"The long-range power projection demonstrated was very successful."

"Effectively deterring the American Federation at the time, as well as countries around the world. But the hidden dangers have not been solved."

"The food crisis of 1972, by 1975, was not only not solved, but it began to rely on imported grain."

"Agriculture withered."

"40% of the country's grain was purchased through imports."

"How is this a long-term plan?"

"But looking at the situation of the Soviet Federation, it seems there is no change."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room were also dumbfounded.

This...

Grain is the lifeblood of a country.

The Soviet Federation is so large, yet nearly half of its grain has to rely on imports; this is fine when there is no war.

If there were a war...

Wouldn't it be stuck immediately?

Importing grain is indeed convenient, but the Blue Star players who have played the 【China】 history series games feel awkward no matter how they look at it.

Because even in the 【China】 history series.

They never dared to let grain rely on external imports.

They would only conquer as much territory as they had the strength to hold.

This is a lesson learned from being devastated countless times in the 【China】 history series games.

Don't these foreigners know?

In fact.

There is nothing new under the sun.

The reason why Blue Star players know so much is that the 【China】 history series has existed continuously, and they can start a game at will.

So they can experience many schemes and calculations that many people have never seen.

But looking at the whole "Earth."

From the ancient times to the present, the only civilization that has continued to this day without interruption is the one on the land of 【China】.

This was already highlighted during the time of fighting the 【Great Flood】.

When other civilizations were praying to God, only the ancestors of the land of 【China】 began to resist the flood, and it has continued to this day.

So many things recorded in 【China】's history books are enough to warn the world.

And the founding time and history of these foreign federations are far from being as long-standing as 【China】's.

To some extent, they even maintain a certain naivety...

Many deceptive tactics and strategies that seem extremely absurd to Blue Star players or the Republic's NPCs can actually be easily executed outside.

Watching the foreigners who are sold and still counting the money, the Blue Star players are puzzled, and the Republic's NPCs are even more puzzled...

Yu Feng continued to say:

"In these five years, the Soviet Federation has maintained its expansion momentum."

"But the hidden dangers have already emerged, and these hidden dangers are very serious."
