"Our armed forces are unprecedented; we are involved in every conflict."
In the narration, Sheffield's deep voice sounded: "We are closely tied to global interests. Modern weaponry is a must-have for any military and a must-have for any nation."
"The strength of those who wield the big stick is far more important than the thickness of the stick itself."
As the satellite map appeared, the general, who had appeared multiple times during promotional events, stated his stance and philosophy to the players:
"—History is written by the victors."
In just a few sentences, the image of a military politician emerged.
The audience was deeply moved and expressed their understanding:
'Dignity is only on the tip of the sword; truth is only within the range of cannons!'
'Armed forces... unprecedented, that's very beautiful!'
'The winner is king, the loser eats dirt.'
'I agree. Although I am thin, my physical condition is strong enough to make them beg for mercy.'
'No, you can drive on this broken road??'
......
The netizens' views were similar to general consensus and the principles that people in Long Country have always recognized.
The designer expressed these principles through Sheffield, uniquely and profoundly.
After Sheffield finished speaking, the mission for the day appeared on the screen in the lower left corner of the game: Teamwork.
Mo Zhi's current role was Private First Class Joseph Allen.
The location was Anya, Red Zone. /
In reality, this place had been plagued by constant conflict, indicating that the game's background had real-world basis and was not solely conceived by Xia Ji'er.
When her vision returned, Allen, controlled by Mo Zhi, was already in a speeding off-road vehicle.
Several Abrams tanks rumbled past, creating a particularly intense sense of pressure.
The fast-moving off-road vehicle weaved through the jungle amidst crossfire.
Mo Zhi poked her head out to look. Not far ahead was the battle zone of the broken bridge, and the city on the other side of the river was already devastated.
Just then,
A Ranger shouted: "RPG!!!"
Boom!
"My god..."
The shell and the shout landed almost simultaneously. Before Mo Zhi could finish speaking, she was completely thrown off by the explosion's aftermath.
BZZZZZT!!
Intense tinnitus emitted a piercing noise through the speakers. Her vision went black, and the surrounding air seemed to distort.
"What the hell is a new recruit doing getting hit by an RPG right at the start?"
Mo Zhi whined aggrievedly: "Too much!!"
'You're not some greenhorn recruit, you're a Private First Class!'
'RPGs are practically a dime a dozen in war-torn areas. They're simple to operate and portable, which fits the situation.'
'The principle of being blown up when in a vehicle also applies to Old Thief here (doge)'
'Holy crap, an RPG right at the start, you made me laugh, it's still got that flavor!'
......
While Mo Zhi suffered, the viewers found it entertaining. It was the familiar style of Old Thief, always having unexpected torment waiting for you.
"What are you doing? Get up and fight!"
The ringing subsided, and her vision gradually cleared. Mo Zhi saw a familiar figure appear before her, calmly loading bullets into a revolver amidst the raging battlefield.
Sheffield!
This was the military strategist and politician who had been introduced so grandly in both the promotions and the official game.
Sheffield grabbed the still-dazed Mo Zhi. "Rangers, advance! Quick!"
Mo Zhi, wielding an M4A1 equipped with a grenade launcher and a holographic sight, stumbled into the fortified trench ahead.
The enemy's firepower from the opposite bank was exceptionally fierce; she was hit almost as soon as she peeked out.
The first shot caused a red shadow to appear on her screen. She ignored it and peeked out again. The second shot hit her, and Allen began to breathe heavily.
One shot red, two shots panting, rest a bit and you can fight again!
There were no health bars, only status indicators.
As long as she disengaged from combat, her condition would quickly recover.
Mo Zhi was so battered she didn't dare to peek.
She had already cursed the greedy Old Thief Lu Li hundreds of times in her mind.
Are you calling this the recruit mode? Then wouldn't enemies in veteran mode all be sharpshooters?
How could anyone play like this?
Rat-a-tat-tat!!
Despite her complaints, the mission had to be completed. Mo Zhi switched trenches and cautiously observed the enemy by angling her view.
Once she pinpointed their positions, she stood up and unleashed a burst of fire!
After all, she could respawn if she died.
Just do it!
Spotting an enemy peeking from behind cover at the 10 o'clock direction, Mo Zhi immediately fired a burst.
The bullets left beautiful arcs, trailing air currents through the air.
Through the holographic sight, the blood mist spurting from the enemy hit by the bullets was clearly visible, with excellent visual effects.
The battle for the damaged bridge was orchestrated in an orderly fashion.
The Rangers, as vanguards, provided strong suppressive fire, while the communications soldiers provided precise coordinates. Ground and air forces combined to clear key defensive positions.
The three-party joint tactics were impenetrable.
It presented the audience with a spectacular battle for the bridgehead. As a Ranger, Mo Zhi fought fiercely on the front lines!
The game combined modern technology with combat techniques, showcasing the terrifying suppressive power of high-tech in actual combat!
At the end of the operation, Dunn patted Mo Zhi's shoulder, "We need to move out! Get in the vehicle!"
Climbing up the broken stairs onto the bridge, rows of camouflage off-road vehicles filled the bridgehead.
Mo Zhi easily leaped into a vehicle, poked her head out of the open top, and excitedly picked up the mounted Gatling gun.
"This thing is great, powerful!"
At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the thirty-odd-story building across the bridge.
"Ten seconds to countdown!"
"Is the officer going to bomb that building at the one o'clock direction?"
"Hey, isn't this airstrike too close to our allies?"
Dunn: "Stop messing around. When has Sheffield ever considered his allies?"
'I guess Old Thief Lu Li's team must have a historian. This battle is very similar to the historical Sophia Bridge breakout battle!'
'There's also someone who understands military strategy, destroying targets with minimal cost on the battlefield, doing a great job!'
'Official commentary is the most lethal!'
'The little soldier is still taking pictures, it's very realistic!'
......
The tactical arrangements and historical events displayed in the game sparked discussions among many military enthusiasts. When an expert makes a move, there's nothing else to say.
This flawless small-scale battle easily won them over.
Thump!!
The airstrike arrived!
The bridge shook violently. The building not far ahead collapsed with a roar, and smoke billowed everywhere.
The soldiers at the forefront were buried in the smoke and retreated.
Sergeant Dunn's words were indeed true!
Sheffield's disregard for allies was no exaggeration!
The battlefield and the smoke stimulated the soldiers' nerves.
They cheered, jumped, and even took photos as souvenirs, the realism of the battlefield accurately reproduced.
"Alright, let's keep moving!"
Dunn waved his arm, and a vast convoy of tanks advanced into the city.
Fuli instructed through the headset: "All personnel, please note: do not harm civilians unless they fire first!"
"Always be aware of enemy armed forces suddenly appearing around you."
Mo Zhi, sitting in the tank, enjoyed the joy of victory. As the vehicle slowly entered the city, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Limbs scattered, rivers of blood, billowing smoke, utter devastation. The city, baptized by fire, was like a living hell.
The audience was stunned to see this scene.
'This can be shown? Lu Li is really bold!'
'I've always heard that game censorship has become much more lenient, and I haven't seen any restricted scenes in other games. Today, my eyes have been opened here!'
'I think it's good. As long as the age restrictions are set properly, adults can handle it.'
'Excellent, today we are witnessing many historical moments in the domestic gaming industry!'
......
The audience enjoyed themselves. The reality of war was so bloody; deliberately concealing it would diminish its cautionary effect.
The vehicles navigated through the abandoned city. The colorful graffiti on the walls testified to its past prosperity.
"War is very brutal. Civilians suffer the most in wartime. When the state prospers, the people suffer; when the state falls, the people suffer!"
Mo Zhi's mood became heavy, and the joy of victory vanished. She lamented:
"This military-themed game is very meaningful. Only by personally experiencing the cruelty of war can we understand how hard-won peace is."
"Although we are in a time of peace, we must remain vigilant and cherish and protect peace."
As Mo Zhi spoke, her perspective broadened. The barrage of gifts from her viewers was the greatest affirmation of her.
Mo Zhi was happy that her views were recognized.
Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Dunn's distinctive voice shattered the fleeting moment of beauty:
"RPG!!"
"Damn it!!"
