Chapter 268

Yu Feng took out the intelligence on the American Federation.

In these short five years, the Soviet Federation went from gradually reaching its peak to instantly falling, giving Blue Star players an inexplicable shock.

At this time.

Blue Star players also wanted to see what the situation was on the American Federation side.

After all, that sanction move later was too ruthless.

Yu Feng looked at the data and said:

"Let's start with 1976."

"This year, the American Federation held a general election."

"And the incumbent president, because of pardoning the former president's crimes, lost the election as expected."

"This can also be understood."

"After all, the entire American Federation is not stupid."

"After the former president committed a crime, it was fine for the vice president to take over, but after the vice president took over, he immediately pardoned all the former president's crimes."

"This is treating the law as a toy."

"Although because it is the Constitution, the American Federation's public could not refute it."

"But obviously."

"Such a president cannot be re-elected."

"The newly inaugurated American Federation president started by cutting himself first."

"Reducing the share of military spending."

"It once reached the lowest point after the war with the Vietnam Federation."

"There were many criticisms within the American Federation."

"Mainly criticizing him for reducing the American Federation's deterrent power."

"Then there was a change in diplomatic strategy."

"Using 'rights' as a slogan to reshape the American Federation's 'moral' leader image."

"Simply put."

"This newly inaugurated American Federation president felt that force couldn't handle the Soviets, so he changed his strategy, different from the military competition of previous American Federation presidents."

"Instead, he took the initiative to reduce military spending and then began to reshape the American Federation's 'moral' leader image."

"If you can't handle it with force, then handle it with culture."

"It's just that this approach received relatively more criticism in the American Federation at the time."

"But this is a strategy with long-term impact."

"We will talk about it later."

Yu Feng said, and then continued:

"Then there is the deepening of the American Federation's economic inflation this year."

"Inflation rate of 9.1% + unemployment rate of 7.8% coexisted, and the domestic situation was also not good."

"It's just that the American Federation could still cope."

"While the Soviet Federation was fully expanding."

"Then it's 1977."

"Starting this year, the new president's diplomatic strategy began to be implemented, using means such as terminating military cooperation and economic sanctions to pressure the South African apartheid regime."

"It's just that the effect was not very good."

"Or rather, there was none at all."

"Instead, it gained a lot of praise for 'morality and reputation' internationally."

"At the same time."

"Not only was military spending reduced, but military aid to federations such as Argentina and Chile was also terminated."

"This also led these federations to turn to others."

"This move significantly reduced the American Federation's influence in Latin America, so there was a lot of criticism."

"And this year."

"Also erupted into an energy crisis dilemma."

"Because the American Federation's oil import and export share reached 50%, it pushed the 'Energy Act' in an attempt to find alternative energy."

"But similarly, it is difficult to see results in the short term."

"There was already a lot of opposition within."

Yu Feng flipped through the data and continued:

"Then it's 1978."

"This year, the American Federation's economic crisis became increasingly serious."

"The US dollar exchange rate plummeted by 15%."

"The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to 20% to save the world."

"You can see."

"While the Soviet Federation was expanding crazily, the American Federation was still dealing with internal problems."

"And the policies such as reducing military spending by the new American Federation president in these two years."

"From the Soviet Federation's perspective, it was a sign that the American Federation had already yielded."

"That's why the previous situation appeared."

"Also in 1978."

"The Soviet Federation's power expansion worldwide reached its peak."

"The American Federation was still dealing with internal economic problems."

"It's just that no one knew that the subsequent development and changes would be so fast."

"Then there is another thing this year."

"That is, under the mediation of the American Federation, the Egypt Federation and the Israel Federation reconciled, which led to the collective severance of diplomatic relations between Arab countries and the Egypt Federation."

"To put it bluntly, they thought the Egypt Federation was a traitor."

"Kicked out."

"Then it's 1979."

"Europe side."

"NATO approved the deployment of 108 Pershing missiles and 464 ground-launched cruise missiles in Western Europe, hoping to bring the Soviet Federation back to the negotiating table with 'reciprocal deterrence'."

"Everyone sit down and talk together."

"But faced with NATO's idea of deploying missiles to threaten while wanting to force the Soviet Federation to negotiate."

"The Soviet Federation said."

"Talk my ass."

"What level of player are you to negotiate with me?"

"You must know that the current Soviet Federation has expanded to its peak, and coupled with the belief in the American Federation's weakness, it is now the world's number one."

"Naturally, it wouldn't care about these threats."

"Not to mention that the distance of this threat is also limited."

"1,800 kilometers range is too far from their 5,000 kilometers."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room also didn't know what to say.

This...

Are the people in this "Earth" all so simple and crude?

Or is it that they have been playing "Republic" for too long.

So looking at these operations by foreign countries, they all feel simple and crude?

According to the American Federation's actions in these five years.

If it were players from the Republic camp, they would definitely think about what conspiracy is hidden behind the American Federation's reduction of military spending and this "human rights" slogan.

The kind that won't stop until they figure it out.

While the Soviet Federation side simply thinks.

The American Federation has yielded.

They have already declined, and this is the perfect time for me to take action.

Hence the crazy expansion in the past few years.

And it seems not only the Soviet Federation is like this; the American Federation seems to be like this too.

During the Peninsula War.

Time and again, ceasefire proposals were seen by the American Federation as the Republic being weak, and the result was pressing the Republic to fight, only to find out they couldn't win and then negotiating.

It seems that these foreign federations in "Earth" only look at the surface.

In fact.

Many Blue Star players who have played the 【China】 series have seen many conspiracies and tricks throughout the dynasties on the land of China, so after the opponent makes a move.

They will substitute themselves into it, calculating three steps for every one.

Thinking about what conspiracy this move by the opponent is.

But in fact...

Many foreign federations do not have such a long history, coupled with continuous revolutions, and the new establishment of one federation or country after another.

Countries on the European continent pay more attention to domestic strength.

Rather than those conspiracies and tricks in history.

Just taking it one step at a time.

Even if they think more, they can't think of anything.

But if you let the people of the Republic think.

What is the purpose of his military spending reduction?

Is it to confuse us?

"Human rights" slogan? What kind of conspiracy is this again?

Could it be moral kidnapping?

Their hearts are punishable!!!

Almost without thinking, various ideas would flash through their minds.

But the Soviet side saw the American Federation's actions.

Yet they believed this was proof of the American Federation's decline, not only crazily expanding themselves but also mistakenly believing that the American Federation no longer had the strength to stop them.

Brazenly entering the Afghanistan Federation, the graveyard of empires, in 1979.

Wanting to conquer that place.

It's just a pity that they judged wrongly in many aspects.

Yu Feng looked at the data and continued:

"It's not just about Europe."

"In the Middle East."

"The pro-American Federation forces in the Iran Federation collapsed, and now the American Federation's power in the Middle East is left with the Israel Federation at the front."

"The American Federation's focus in the Middle East can only be placed on the Israel Federation and the Saudi Federation."

"It is precisely because of the various situations of the American Federation this year."

"Including the fact that only the supported Israel Federation and Saudi Federation are left in the Middle East."

"So the Soviet Federation would think that the American Federation has really declined, and at the end of that year, it chose to enter the Afghanistan Federation."

"The American Federation's move is a lucky strike."

"I estimate that the American Federation didn't expect the Soviet Federation to be like this."

"After all, the policy of the incumbent American Federation president."

"Reducing military spending, weakening the American Federation's influence, 'human rights' diplomacy, stopping military aid, leading allies to turn to others..."

"The purpose of this series of actions is to occupy the moral high ground."

"Unfortunately, it's useless."

"Because power comes from the barrel of a gun... so this strategy of relying on moral kidnapping is a failure."

"But at the same time, it is also a success."

"Because it successfully led the Soviet Federation into a pit."

The Blue Star netizens in the livestream room also twitched their mouths.

Indeed.

After all, the American Federation originally saw that force couldn't handle it, so they wanted to occupy the moral high ground to play kidnapping and cultural fighting.

As a result, the opponent's gun barrel was hard, and they didn't play cultural fighting at all.

It was a complete failure.

But the Soviet Federation's operation made itself fall into it.

Now...

Unintentionally planting a willow that grew into shade.

Yu Feng continued:

"Then it's 1980."

"This year."

"Because of the Afghanistan Federation quagmire and the turmoil in the Eastern European region."

"The Soviet Federation was overwhelmed and didn't want to fight on two fronts."

"So it remained silent."

"But the American Federation saw this opportunity and directly launched a wave of economic sanctions and grain embargoes."

"Caught the Soviet Federation off guard."

"With this, the five-year transformation of the American Federation ended."

"It can be seen."

"It was still dealing with internal contradictions and economic problems."

"But the move in 1980 directly cut into the Soviet Federation's main artery."

"The American Federation's strategic relaxation gradually ended."

"After adjusting the internal problems of the federation, it began to regain strategic initiative, laying the groundwork for the huge changes in the next 10 years."

"But we will talk about this in the next issue."

"Let's look at the Republic's side."

Yu Feng organized the data.

Took out the Republic's portion and said:

"Like before, the Republic focused on developing itself in these 5 years."

"Let's see what changes the Republic has."

"First is the breakthrough in technology."

"In 1976, the Republic's submarine-launched missile experiment broke through, and the nuclear submarine strike system took shape."

"This made the Republic the 5th country in the world to master submarine-launched technology."

"Initially built a 'land-based + sea-based' secondary nuclear counterattack capability."

"It counts as a huge progress."

"It's just that in the early stages, it could only cover the Asian region."

"The range is relatively small."

"Unlike later, when only one Dongfeng-5C is needed to cover the world."

Yu Feng continued:

"Then it's 1977."

"This year, the Republic signed procurement agreements with European countries such as the British Commonwealth."

"Mainly used for manufacturing large mechanical equipment."

"This year, the Republic's interior was still developing itself."

"Then it's 1978."

"This year, the Republic still focused on developing itself."

"Alright."

"The Republic's situation now is that it belongs to making a fortune in silence; no matter how you fight outside, how you play the game, I will close the door, honestly farm, and no one should disturb me."

"But this year."

"The relationship between the Republic and the American Federation broke the ice."

"Announced in a joint communique that they would officially establish diplomatic relations on January 1, 1979."

Yu Feng flipped through the data.

Seeing that it was almost 1979, he said:

"Then it's 1979."

"This year, the Republic and the American Federation officially established diplomatic relations, and at the same time, because of the constant provocations of the Vietnam Federation."

"The Republic was forced to start a self-defense counterattack."

"But the battle only lasted for more than a month."

"And ended with the Vietnam Federation's collapse and the destruction of most of its infrastructure, and the withdrawal of troops."

"This is the Republic's style, no problem."

"It doesn't want to provoke a battle, and once it gains the upper hand, it thinks about talking to you."

"It was the same when dealing with the India Federation."

"But those people in the India Federation thought the Republic was yielding and provoked it again."

"Then there's no way..."

"Does everyone know why I mentioned this?"

Yu Feng asked the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room.

Many Blue Star netizens sent question marks, some not knowing why.

Yu Feng smiled and said:

"Because after the Republic crushed and defeated the Vietnam Federation, it took the initiative to withdraw its troops."

"But."

"This active withdrawal."

"Also made the Vietnam Federation a bit unclear-headed."

"Because they thought it was the Republic being weak and not daring to continue fighting."

"So..."

"They rushed up to jump in their faces again."

"The Republic saw this and started the rotation battle mode."

"It didn't attack vigorously."

"But fought one division at a time."

"Until then, the Vietnam Federation woke up."

"But it was too late to call a stop."

"Because you were given a chance, and you didn't use it."

Yu Feng looked at the Vietnam Federation's operations in the intelligence and didn't understand it either.

Reasonably speaking.

It would be understandable if other federations did this, because their founding time is short, they don't value history, so once the opponent appears weak, they will jump in their faces.

Instead of thinking about what plan the opponent has.

But the Vietnam Federation's civilization doesn't seem to have been broken, it's just constantly being beaten by the Central Plains Dynasty.

They have been fighting for thousands of years, don't they know the Republic's strength yet?

They have already been pushed across once.

How could they think that the Republic was cowardly and didn't dare to fight when they saw the Republic's troops withdraw... this kind of brain circuit is simply impossible to understand.

Don't they know how they were beaten... how dare they go back and jump in their faces.
