This is now a full-scale war, the Soviet Union's third revolutionary war. The Soviet Union and Ukraine will never stop fighting until you hang your streetlights. At worst, we'll restart nuclear weapons. We believe that those who come after us will take up our torch, and until then, we will leave them a clean new world.
In short, the Soviet Union is currently in a state of chaos, the offensive on the front lines has stopped, and some Soviet troops have begun to surrender to the Soviet Union and Uzbekistan... no, they are returning to the true Soviet Union. In any era and at any time, there is no shortage of people who burn for their beliefs, let alone the fact that there are still many people in the lower and middle ranks of the Soviet Union who still hold fast to their beliefs.
Usu's resolute attitude made them clear about their goals and led them to make their choice at that moment.
A great choice; the Soviet Union will become great again.
Sunan has remained silent, or rather, has not made any overt response. After all, the five Central Asian countries siding with Uzbekistan have recently acquired a large number of unmanned weapons, all of which are civilian products from Sunan, but with performance comparable to military-grade ones. However, this has nothing to do with Sunan; it's normal civilian trade. If the customer modifies it to a different style, there's nothing we can do. After all, the goods have been sold to the customer, and the ownership belongs to the customer. What they do with it is their freedom, and how can we, as sellers, interfere? We're not like the United States, which can arbitrarily add backdoors to systems.
The Holy War on the European side turned into a complete mess on the American side.
This isn't an adjective; it literally turned into a complete mess.
Under Qin Shan's instigation and wanton destruction, the United States' exploitative system in the Americas, especially South America, has suffered unprecedented damage. The sudden deaths of a large number of government officials have directly plunged the local countries into anarchy. These countries were originally fragmented nations built by imitating the American democratic system, with limited central influence. Now, the upper and middle classes of these countries have suffered heavy losses. Those who remain are either fighting for power or trying to do something but no one cares. The countries have become fragmented, unclaimed territories. If it weren't for the fact that the local weapons are mainly imported, the difficulty of the game would be far greater than that of the American server.
When state power is unable to protect ordinary people, they must find ways to protect themselves. This results in CIA agents operating in these countries being caught in the crossfire of bullets, potentially impersonating Kennedy or Abe. Afterwards, investigations are impossible because the number of gangs involved in shootouts exceeds hundreds. Are you supposed to slaughter them all?
Please note that almost 100% of the locals have joined gangs for protection. If you do that, it will be a modern-day massacre. Is the United States planning to follow Israel's example? No wonder it's a son, just like his father.
In this chaotic situation, the efficiency of America's exploitation has been greatly reduced, because the banks they control in various countries have become very unsafe places. After all, there is definitely money in banks, especially the large ones. These are the first places that local gangs target. Then there is the smile from the great sage and saintly teacher Ram. When he robbed banks back then, he did not use machine guns (nor did he). But now, local gangs can rob banks with tanks.
Even if you were the Federal Reserve's vault, you'd probably be stumped for a while if you encountered ruthless bandits of this caliber. Let alone the banks in these third-world South American countries, they couldn't withstand it, they simply couldn't. Not only could they not be robbed, they could even be robbed three times a day, with three groups of people meeting at the bank and then starting a shootout on the spot to steal each other's loot. There's nothing else on the scene but plenty of money flying everywhere.
However, the local currencies of Central and South American countries are basically worthless now, while US dollars and precious metals are much more appealing. This has led to bank robberies in these countries being nothing more than violent incidents, with scenes resembling military battles.
"Holy crap, anyone who didn't know better would think this was the front line between Israel and Palestine. No, Israel and Palestine have stopped fighting now, and this place is a complete mess."
As Qin Shan walked through Rio de Janeiro, the city that was once the capital of Brazil, he felt the passion of the game GTA.
In less than a minute, at least three RPG rockets have flown overhead, while next to him, an M48 tank, a museum-quality artifact, has returned fire.
Good heavens, the M48, which began service with the U.S. military in 1953, has now been in service for 113 years in the second world, 2066.
Shocking! A century-old museum artifact has been used in battle. Is this a legacy of history or a roar of faith? Let's delve into today's topic: the battlefield journey of the century-old M48.
Northtown said the fighting here was very lively, so he came to see just how lively it was. Now he felt it for himself. The simple and honest folk customs of Gotham City and the hospitality of Yanan Town—your chief architect must be named Miyazaki.
It's 2066 here, and the battlefield still feels like the Cold War. We haven't seen many drones. Brazil is at least a country with a size of 141T (funny fact: there's a service area in Tongliao called Brazil, located in Menda Town, Horqin Left Middle Banner, Tongliao City. Pretty amazing, right?). If Biden's defense capabilities are like this, other countries are naturally not much better.
Stop staring around like that, I'm talking to you, Argentina! Where did your courage from the Falklands War go?!
"Admiral, a construction site in southern Jiangsu is under attack."
"Xiao Zhai, a construction site in southern Jiangsu, let's investigate what they're doing?"
"We've found out. It's an urban engineering team that Brazil hired from southern Jiangsu. Their main job is to repair the roads here."
"Does Brazil have the money to build roads?"
"They paid for the goods in the form of agricultural products and minerals."
"It has a very southern Jiangsu style. Let's go take a look."
"
Section 44: This is the real fighting nation!
(Second update, starting to use readers and group members as NPCs (~―▽―)~, lucky ones will be randomly selected as filler characters later)
Yang Yong (whose name is a guest star in the group, "Two Steamed Buns with Meat Pie") is a civil engineer, a technical backbone of the Southern Jiangsu People's Engineering Bureau, 33 years old, whose main job is to repair bridges and roads.
That's right, it's a profession where there are often no corpses (seriously).
That's enough joking. Overseas engineering teams are a unique feature of China. After all, domestic infrastructure is almost complete, and the vast majority of the population has gathered in cities. The traditional countryside in southern Jiangsu in 2066 has almost disappeared. What remains as the so-called "new countryside" is actually a new agriculture after industrialization, all of which are large-scale cluster operations.
After breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion technology, human agriculture is increasingly less reliant on traditional crops. Take a look at grain factories, which actually use industrial synthesis methods to produce food, and the finished product tastes even better than what is grown in the ground.
What? It has no soul.
Then go eat grass, that's the purest soul closest to nature, you're obviously not hungry, stop being so pretentious.
Although the work in China has been completed, civil engineering cannot simply disappear. The large construction teams must be maintained. After all, what happens to deindustrialized countries? Southern Jiangsu has already seen it all. So even if construction is carried out abroad at cost price, Southern Jiangsu must ensure that its domestic civil engineering is constantly updated and that there are teams available. Therefore, going abroad to do construction becomes an effective way out.
The main difference is that in the field of infrastructure construction, most countries in the world are not comparable to those in southern Jiangsu, but rather worlds apart. For the same price, Germany might build a bridge, the United States might build a bridge pier, and India might put on a piece of performance art. But southern Jiangsu can build a century-old dual-purpose bridge and add hundreds of kilometers of highway as a bonus. If conditions permit, a ten-lane dual carriageway is not a problem. If you are willing to spend the money, it is not impossible for bombers to take off and land on the highway.
With their high standards, strict requirements, and cost-effective engineering capabilities, the engineering teams from southern Jiangsu quickly established themselves in the international market. When other countries undertake their infrastructure projects, unless they have to consider political issues, they will almost always choose engineering teams from southern Jiangsu.
Yang Yong is just one of the millions of overseas technical personnel in southern Jiangsu, and currently earns an annual salary of 20 yuan.
It may not sound like much, but you should know that in southern Jiangsu, which has experienced two revolutions, houses are all government-allocated customized residences. Even for high-end houses, the buyer only needs to pay 50% of the price. The price of commercial housing has never exceeded 5,000 yuan. An annual salary of 500,000 yuan can allow people in southern Jiangsu to live a fairly decent life.
In addition, with the rapid development of biomedical technology in the mid-21st century, gene extension has become a routine civilian technology in southern Jiangsu, with the highest level of popularization in the world, reaching an astonishing 90% (some people's genes are naturally resistant to gene extension, so there is no way to do it, and some elderly people are too old to undergo gene extension). Therefore, ordinary people in southern Jiangsu receive gene vaccine injections from childhood, a total of six injections, until the age of twelve.
This technology not only greatly improves the human immune system, but also slows down the aging process. Currently, the average lifespan of people in southern Jiangsu is 137 years, with adolescence extended to eighty years and aging only beginning after one hundred years. Even on the day they die, their physical condition remains at the level of people in their forties or fifties in the past.
So in southern Jiangsu, people currently retire at 100, but if you want to work, you can work until the day you're in your coffin.
From this perspective, people from southern Jiangsu are practically from another dimension in the second world, so powerful that it's hard to understand. These are the huge strategic advantages that have gradually formed in southern Jiangsu since the second revolution in 2000.
After all, it was a second liberation that cost half of the population. The resurgent southern Jiangsu has not only transcended the traditional historical cycle, but has also become even more terrifying, as can be seen from the current attitude of neighboring small countries towards southern Jiangsu.
A reputation is a combination of deterrence and prestige; can you guess how the deterrent part is achieved?
Even countries as far away as the Americas wouldn't dare to provoke South Korea. Putting aside everything else, South Korea's ten aircraft carriers with a displacement of over 100,000 tons, as well as its brand-new fusion-powered battleships, would keep them calm at any time.
But that was under normal circumstances. Now, various countries in South America and Central America have had their national security valves dismantled by Qin Shan's plan to disrupt order. The large-scale gang warfare has turned Rio de Janeiro into a giant battleground. In this situation, guns have no eyes. Moreover, you can't expect the short-sighted local gangs to understand how terrifying southern Jiangsu is, thousands of miles away. Compared to southern Jiangsu, they understand better that the United States is not to be trifled with.
This led to the fact that, in the eyes of ordinary gangsters, Su Nan's construction team in Rio de Janeiro became a hot commodity to be extorted. After all, they had seen the spending power of Chinese people in the area before, and now that they had guns and cannons, it was time to make some extra money.
"Comrades, grab your weapons and kill these bastards!"
Holding a Type 55 precision assault rifle, Yang Yong gave a Kennedy-esque idea to a gang member a hundred meters away.
Hehe, sorry, all the personnel sent abroad from southern Jiangsu have undergone three months of live-fire military training before going to other countries, so at the very least, their organizational skills and discipline are not bad.
Yang Yong's situation is a bit more complicated. He used to be a militiaman in his hometown. Although he was just a militiaman, after the Second Revolution in southern Jiangsu, the training of the militiamen was quite strict. The only difference between them and the regular army was that they had fewer heavy weapons, the weapon models were more outdated, and the training intensity was lower, but they had everything they needed.
Their opponents were just a group of gang members, and many of them had only joined the gangs temporarily during the recent chaos, either to save their lives or to make a quick buck. It was impossible to expect them to have much fighting power. In fact, the training level of the so-called regular armies of many countries was not as good as that of the militia in southern Jiangsu.
Furthermore, Rio de Janeiro is a coastal city. After learning of the emergency situation there, Sunan has already arranged for warships to come and evacuate its citizens. As long as the local Chinese community holds on a little longer, they can be evacuated safely.
After picking up their weapons, Yang Yong and his Southern Jiangsu engineering team quickly transformed into berserkers. They were initially quite nervous, but after discovering that the enemy's bullets were barely even a glimpse and were completely random in their attacks, the comrades felt as exasperated as Dante, a pro player of Devil May Cry. "Is that all? My grandma can shoot more accurately than them."
Stop making baseless accusations. Your grandmother was a militia member back in the day, and she even participated in actual combat. How could her fighting ability be lacking? These rookies can't possibly compare.
The engineering teams in southern Jiangsu were equipped with basic weapons. After all, guns are rampant in most American countries, and the engineering teams were armed to protect themselves. The Brazilian government certainly did not think that these hundred or so people equipped with some sophisticated light weapons could overthrow them. Considering that the security situation in their country was indeed slightly worse than that in southern Jiangsu, they naturally did not object to the engineering teams in southern Jiangsu being armed.
However, these veteran civil engineers from the southern Jiangsu construction teams showed the local gangs what a true fighting nation is all about.
Not only were there temporary trenches dug by excavators in front of them, but halfway through the battle, more than a dozen men also flanked them, and during the flanking maneuver, they were driving pickup trucks with heavy machine guns mounted on them.
Ironically, the heavy machine gun and pickup truck were seized from a gang.
Such a simple maneuver, something any Chinese player could do in the game, caused the enemy to collapse on the spot. When Qin Shan came to watch the spectacle, all he saw was the lively scene of Chinese people chasing down Brazilian gangsters.
Hundreds of gangsters were seen running and crying, while less than ten Chinese were chasing after them, shouting "Oh yeah!"
Back then, Third Brother's fighting ability was probably only this much; I never expected there to be another expert among them.
"It seems their combat strength is sufficient; they don't need any help."
Qin Shan shrugged and silently gave a thumbs-up to the Chinese compatriots in World No. 2.
However, the reconnaissance plane launched from Lexington transmitted a significant message, one that was significant in terms of quality.
"Admiral, three tanks and two armored vehicles are moving here, and they are all active-duty equipment of the Brazilian army."
"If it were just a gang-related kidnapping, there would be no need to use this level of force. Were they sent by the Brazilian government to protect the workers on the Southern Jiangsu construction project?"
At this moment, Xiaozhai provided another important piece of information.
"Admiral, I detected radar signals similar to the two previous tactical dolls, but there is no information on the Brazilian army being equipped with tactical dolls."
If the military data of one of the three permanent members of the UN Security Council said this, it would most likely be that they were concealing their strength. But if the military data of Brazil says this, then there is a 1000% chance that even the Brazilian government is unaware of the existence of tactical dolls in its military. This means that these tactical dolls are likely spies from other countries, or some other role, and certainly not loyal subjects of the Brazilian government.
It's questionable whether the Brazilian government can even control its military. As for what's really going on in the military, the Brazilian president certainly doesn't know as much as the US president, let alone more than a CIA agent.
Therefore, when a country's intelligence system is in complete disarray, it inadvertently increases the workload of other countries' intelligence systems. As long as I don't know what's happening, then others can forget about stealing our intelligence!
You're a real genius, get out of here! This guy's beyond saving, the sooner he dies, the better.
"It's getting more and more chaotic, but that's fine too, it's easier to fish in troubled waters."
"But Admiral, there are at least three hundred of those tactical dolls."
"How many!?"
Section 45: Something's Wrong
What does it mean to have three hundred tactical dolls appear in Rio de Janeiro?
It's like suddenly having 300 main battle tanks on the streets of Shanghai, and the combat power of humanoids is higher than that of tanks.
In Girls' Frontline, tactical dolls are commonplace, which indirectly proves how technologically advanced the game world has become since the mid-21st century, to the point of nuclear explosion, as if they were afraid that humanity would not be able to experience the omnipotent crisis before leaving Earth.
But the truth is that tactical dolls are extremely expensive and rare weapons, especially those that are highly realistic humanoid. They are used to carry out special missions. After all, the more a doll interacts with humans, the more it needs to resemble a human in every aspect. So Xi Xi is just a game developer and doesn't know anything about Girls' Frontline (I'm sure of it).
On the contrary, the tactical humanoids that appear directly on the battlefield have significantly lower manufacturing costs because they do not require anthropomorphic considerations. However, the humanoid structure itself is complex and precise. To make tactical humanoids have several times or even ten times the combat power of humans through a method similar to mechanical ascension is a great test for basic manufacturing industries. Therefore, apart from the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, other countries in the world do not have the ability to produce humanoid machines, or rather, they only have the ability to produce some parts.
The only exception in this regard is Xiao Rizi, but they do this because of the strong demand in the service industry. Their own needs, coupled with the perverse national character of the Japanese, have led them to create a unique brilliance in an outrageous industry.
The fake 3D zones are all made using 3D technology.
True 3D modeling uses humanoid technology.
Thus, the Japanese service industry experienced a second spring.
At this moment, a reconnaissance plane from Lexington flew over the unit. From the outside, the unit was no different from the regular Brazilian army. But beneath that skin were tactical dolls, each wielding the same weapons. Their combat efficiency was more than ten times that of ordinary soldiers. For one thing, ordinary people would find it difficult to even get a headshot within 100 meters, let alone a long-range sniper shot. But the tactical dolls could do it within 500 meters. As long as the weapon performance allowed, even if you only showed a scalp, they could flip your skull off.
Lift your skull and splatter your brains all over the floor!
Kennedy expressed his disapproval and gave it a thumbs down.
Lexington quickly determined the enemy's marching route and informed Qin Shan: "Admiral, they are heading towards the construction site."
“At this time, the appearance of three hundred tactical dolls heading towards the construction site in southern Jiangsu is obviously a problem. Lexington, give them a taste of their own medicine and see their reaction.”
Striking the enemy in the grass is an effective tactic. When you don't know what the enemy wants to do, just give them a burst of fire and see their reaction. The enemy's reaction can reveal a lot of information, which is enough for a seasoned veteran.
A B-25, which looked like an old World War II aircraft but whose defensive capabilities were comparable to solid steel blocks, was immediately launched from the Lexington carrier. It then began to grow larger and, in a dive that would be absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, began to bomb the target.
Wait a minute, B-25! How many Bumblebees did you take apart?
Cough cough cough, how can you say it's dismantling? This is Hornet's friendly sponsorship of B-25s to other regular airlines to improve their battlefield bombing efficiency and bombing power. It's also to pay tribute to the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. In short, it's all a tribute, you understand? It's all done voluntarily by Hornet (anyway, all regular airlines in Qinshan have B-25s, you can calculate the number).
The tactical dolls reacted very quickly. Upon detecting a potential hostile unit in the sky, the tanks and armored vehicles next to them immediately adjusted their machine gun angles, aiming at the direction of the B25's dive, and the bullets almost all hit their targets accurately.
But it was useless. They had no idea that their attack was like using a pistol to shoot at a tank, specifically targeting the tank's frontal armor, and against a modern main battle tank. It would be a miracle if it worked.
A bomb was precisely dropped, and Lexington controlled its power. After all, although it looked like a bomb dropped from an airplane, it was actually a superhuman strike. If needed, Lexington could freely switch between the falling bombs and the Tsar Bomba, ensuring the creation of a large number of acquaintances in one go.
What's falling now is just a regular aerial bomb, the kind with a yield of one ton.
That's amazing!
But you should know that the ones being bombed were tactical dolls, and Qin Shan was very curious about the destructive effect of conventional weapons on them.
With a loud bang, the tactical dolls at the center of the explosion were immediately restored to their factory settings, in the form of parts. However, the surrounding tactical dolls were only blown away and quickly recovered and regrouped.
They weren't entirely undamaged either. Some support units, which looked like maintenance personnel or medics from the human army, were inspecting the half-crouched tactical dolls and quickly replacing some of their parts, so that the tactical dolls could immediately be put back into battle.
This speed and efficiency are indeed far superior to those of the human body.
"As expected, individuals that can be classified as extraordinary, whether human, humanoid, or anything else, can significantly reduce the lethality of ordinary weapons. The explosive power of a one-ton bomb only destroyed less than twenty tactical humanoids, and that was under the condition that their formation was relatively dense."
Qin Shan's analysis was very rational. At the same time, it should be noted that it was not that the enemy wanted to form a dense formation, but that the roads in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro did not allow them to spread out into skirmishes and form a three-by-three system. If they were to spread out, the area that 300 people could cover would be quite large. Not to mention the killing effect on humanoids, even ordinary human soldiers would not be able to be killed in one go. After all, the distance between each soldier is about ten meters. Let alone within a hundred meters, there would be very few people within five hundred meters.
This is still the traditional infantry division's soldier spacing. In highly informationized units, this distance would only be greater, and there might even be situations where drones are everywhere and you can't see even a ghost.
"Xiao Zhai, can you hack directly into their system?"
"With just this few, forcing a connection wouldn't be a problem. Does the Admiral intend to gather intelligence through them?"
"Yes, let's see who's up to and what. Although the biggest suspect in the Americas is the United States, there's something fishy about this. My gut feeling tells me that things aren't that simple."
"Received, will get it done right away!"
Although tactical dolls also possess the physical attributes of superhumans, these purely military combat units prioritize cost-effectiveness. Therefore, the performance of individual AI is not high. They need to form a joint network to ensure that each of them fights with normal intelligence, which is the battlefield cloud server. Theoretically, the more networked tactical dolls there are, the higher the performance of the battlefield AF. The three-on-three formation is the smallest configuration unit of this battlefield server.
As an eighth-tier superhuman, Xiaozhai directly used his mental power as a link to forcibly enter the systems of these tactical dolls and forcibly control them in a very unreasonable way.
"Admiral, the AI of these tactical dolls is too sensitive. I was just about to modify them when they started their self-destruct program. Now I can only control those tactical dolls remotely."
"It's okay, you did a great job, the database is saved, right?"
