Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign

Looking at the 'Third Encirclement Campaign' orders and actions of the Red faction in Liu Xu's live stream.

Players from Blue Star didn't know what to say.

The Red faction's 'lure the enemy deeper' has been used how many times already.

If the Blue faction continues to be defeated by such tactics of 'lure the enemy deeper'.

This... it might be a bit staged.

So many famous generals from Huangpu Military Academy, logically speaking, the principal should be more formidable, right?

For a while.

The players from Blue Star all focused their gaze on Liu Xu's live stream.

Wanting to see the specific situation of the 'Third Encirclement Campaign'.

After all, it's already the third time.

And the Red faction is still luring the enemy deeper, but it's unclear whether the Blue faction will really be lured deeper.

Liu Xu's live stream gradually became popular.

Meanwhile, the Blue faction had already begun deploying troops, but the Red faction seemed to be in no rush.

As a soldier, Liu Xu had just relocated to a new base.

At the new base, he was still helping local villagers with work, showing no signs of pre-battle tension.

After all, Liu Xu is a player, so it's normal not to be tense.

But watching the soldiers around Liu Xu and the villagers, none of them were nervous.

There was no sign of a looming storm typical before a major battle, which indeed made the players from Blue Star feel something unusual.

The 'Third Encirclement Campaign/Counter-Campaign' story here.

While the Red faction's 'counter-campaign' perspective is available, the Blue faction's 'campaign' anchor perspective has been missing.

So the players from Blue Star were temporarily unaware of the Blue faction's specific situation.

However, soon.

Someone uploaded a video.

Also related to this 'Third Encirclement Campaign/Counter-Campaign'.

In the video.

The player, being a Battalion Commander, had their troop assigned to patrol around Nanchang.

But during patrol.

They discovered that officers from the United States, Imperial, and even Japan were entering and exiting the 'Supreme Commander of Navy, Army, Air Forces Nanchang Headquarters'.

Upon further inquiry, it was learned.

It turned out all these senior military advisors were invited from various countries for the impending 'Third Encirclement Campaign' by the 'Principal of Huangpu'.

After seeing this.

The players from Blue Star widened their eyes.

Goodness.

The United States, Imperial, Japan, plus 'Principal of Huangpu' and his trusted followers.

So many people, along with a think tank.

And with 300,000 troops, no one doubted the principal's determination from the Blue faction.

The comments floated over the video.

[Damn! What an extravagant lineup!]

[I'm laughing, the principal can't win games, so he's straight up recruiting people?]

[Red faction is going to 1V5 this time! Aren't these buffs full?!]

[Suggestion for stream title: 'About how Principal Huangpu recruited three external advisors yet was still beaten badly']

[Tsk! The person above hating, how do you know Principal Huangpu lost when they haven't even fought?!]

[How about opening a bet?]

[This session belongs to the 'Imperialism is a paper tiger' tutorial.]

[Huh, stop arguing, watch my maneuvering.]

[Wow, not pretending anymore? You are Principal Huangpu, right?!]

Looking at this lineup.

Compared to the Red faction's force of more than 30,000.

Blue Star's netizens can't imagine how they would lose.

Logically.

If the Blue faction were to lose, it's either the faction making some mistakes themselves, or it would be... attributed to something.

Such as... a buff where more troops mean weaker performance?

That's pretty unreasonable too.

The video continues.

The visuals switch slightly, evidently having passed a day or several days.

And the perspective of the player in the video changes from patrolling to standing guard.

The player in the video explains how they exchanged cash for the guard duty, stationed just outside the conference room.

Although unable to directly participate in the meeting.

The faint discussions and loud arguments inside were deliberately edited and broadcasted by this player.

From the discussions inside the conference room.

The players from Blue Star also discovered some things.

Foremost, the military advisory group formed by Imperial, the United States, and Japan indeed has something to show.

Because the video captures three of their plans.

To 'drive straight in' with an absolute superiority in troops, 300,000 vs 30,000, quickly squeezing the Red faction's space and forcing them to a decisive battle.

Then 'fortress lockdown' along the roads, constructing fortifications, and gradually encroaching on the Red faction's territory.

Finally, 'divide and conquer', instigating internal conflicts within the Red faction, or enforcing economic blockade, achieving the purpose of dividing the military and civilians of the Red faction.

The methods sound good and even have considerable feasibility.

But before they could be implemented.... 'divide and conquer' was already being used within the Blue faction itself.

Several outbreaks of disputes were caused by this.

The permissions granted by Principal Huangpu to the advisory group were too high, enabling them to directly command or surpass many generals in ranks, causing dissatisfaction among numerous military commanders from the Blue faction.

Who do you think you are? Why are you directing me?

Added to the chaotic factional struggles within the Blue faction, a military meeting resulted.

The advisory group plus several factions clashing with each other.

Coming up with a legitimate plan seemed impossible.

The final decision-making power rested with Principal Huangpu.

Thus.

The maneuvering expert took action once again.

The video ends here, leaving an address to a live stream in the conclusion.

Players from Blue Star followed it and found it to be a newcomer broadcaster, evidently registered as a host after triggering the storyline.

Looking at the constant influx of water friends.

The smile never left the face of the streamer Jiang Yu in the live room:

"Thanks to the third rank elder brother for the 'Starship'!"

"Jump again, jump again!"
