In mid-October, the Pacific Naval Fleet Command of the Great Zhou Empire was formally established in Keelung, Taiwan. Since it is a company-like combat unit composed of players from the six regions of China, "Yan, Qi, Lu, Wu, Chu, and Wei", it is not only a war organization, but also a profit-making organization.

If you can't understand this, you can refer to the East India Company established by the British Empire, which was used to plunder the wealth of the British colonies and control the whole of India in the name of the company, which was a typical tool of aggression in the shell of the company.

The Pacific Naval Fleet Command of the Great Zhou Empire did not intend to follow the path of the East India Company, which was cloaked in the shell of a military combat unit, but with a strong mercantilist tendency.

Its main strategic task is to establish naval bases in Guam, the Ryukyu Islands, Brunei, and the Strait of Malacca. However, its daily mission is to escort the merchant ships of Chinese players at sea, ensuring that the merchant ships of Chinese players and allies sail unhindered in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The player organizations along the coast of China spent a lot of time raising a total of more than 5,000 warships, all of which were Pacific Fleets of three to five masts or more, assembled in military ports such as Keelung, Taiwan.

Such a huge fleet naturally can't stay in the port, and the Pacific Fleet of the Great Zhou Empire began to conduct large-scale naval combat exercises and training, first, to allow players to cooperate skillfully, and second, to train the combat ability of the fleet NPCs, the main training location is the waters of the Ryukyu Islands

The Ryukyu Sea consists of 55 large and small islands, divided into three large island groups: the Sakishima Islands in the south, the Okinawa Islands in the middle, and the Amami Island Chain in the north. The northernmost part of the Ryukyu Islands is the Osumi Islands, which are separated by the Osumi Strait and the Japanese island of Kyushu.

The Pacific Fleet exercise began in the Sakishima Islands and continued to reach the northernmost Osumi Islands. The exercise included five major items: confrontation and combat of warships, island beach and landing6, clearing out the remnants of the enemy, rapid military construction, and deployment of conventional patrol areas.

Belch. It should be noted that several of the main islands of the Ryukyu Islands have been taken by Sea Soul's Zhoushan fleet. Moreover, the main army of Japanese players is concentrated on the island of Kyushu and fights against the armies of players in Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines. However, there are still a small number of Japanese players, NPC troops, fishing boats, and warships that will venture into the Ryukyu Islands to carry out fishing operations and harassment activities. Especially in the Amami Island chain, which is close to the Japanese island, the activities of Japanese players are even more rampant.

In this exercise, it is natural to remove these obstacles.

More than 5,000 warships of the Pacific Fleet set sail for the Ryukyu Islands, training the naval fleet all the way. Imagine a hypothetical enemy and carry out a precise and targeted clearing of the 55 islands of the Ryukyu Islands. *****

Every time you arrive at an island, you will conduct a simulated offensive and defensive battle, carry out a beach grab, and then conduct a dragnet search on the island to clean up all Japanese players and Japanese people on the island, and Ryukyu players and Ryukyu native NPCs are no longer listed. The Ryukyu Kingdom was officially canonized as one of the vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The king of the Ryukyu NPC was summoned by Zhou Tianzi and went to Hokyo to face the saint.

Immediately after each island is cleared, patrol camps, supply points, watchtowers, small and medium-sized ports are set up on the island, and they are included in the regular patrol range of the Pacific Fleet. On large islands, a large number of defensive facilities were built, and even walled cities were stationed to garrison guard legions.

The Ryukyu Islands were all drilled, and a total of tens of thousands of Japanese players entrenched in the Ryukyu Islands were cleared. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese NPCs, more than 17,000 Japanese player fishing boats, and thousands of low-grade warships. After all non-Ryukyu native NPCs have been cleaned up. The huge Pacific Fleet has already been initially honed into an army in this high-intensity training and has sufficient coordination and combat capabilities.

Every move of the Chinese player fleet is always watched by Japanese players. The formation of the Pacific Fleet by the Chinese players and the "exercises" carried out in the Ryukyu Islands naturally could not avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese players -- having said that, the Pacific Fleet did not intend to avoid anyone's eyes and ears, and most of its military operations were open to the outside world. = Fiction 520 ==

But Japanese players can't talk about it. The Chinese Pacific Fleet, called the exercise, was in fact a thorough cleanup of the Japanese players in the Ryukyu Islands. Let the last remnants of the Japanese player power disappear from the Ryukyu Islands. It was clear that this exercise was used to expel the Japanese players from the Ryukyu Islands.

However, Japanese players struggled to react.

On the island of Kyushu, Japan, more than 3 million NPC soldiers in South Korea have taken root on the island of Kyushu, built a large number of fortifications, and fought with the army of Kyushu Island, Japan. Although the Japanese players on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido strongly supported the Japanese players on Kyushu, they were never able to turn the tide of the war, and half of the island of Kyushu was covered by four prefectures, including Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto. It has fallen into the hands of South Korea, North Korea and the Philippines. On the island of Kyushu, only "Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Oita, Kitakyushu" are still in the hands of Japanese players.

Especially the loss of Nagasaki Prefecture. The most important military port on the island of Kyushu was occupied by Korean players, which greatly worsened the situation for Japanese players on Kyushu Island.

Ordnance and munitions for Chinese players. ^^^^ through these excellent ports, it was continuously transported to South Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines, making the NPC armies of these three countries as fierce as if they had taken a stimulant, and they were beaten wildly by pressing several times the Japanese NPC army. The Japanese side now needs to pay the price of 3 soldiers to be able to kill a Korean and Korean Filipe soldiers.

The island of Kyushu is still not guaranteed, and Japanese players now have little heart to compete with Chinese players for the Ryukyu Islands. Even if you have this mind, you don't dare to act rashly.

The number of more than 5,000 warships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet is almost half of the total number of warships on all the Japanese islands, and the quality is more than that of all Japanese warships. Japan simply did not dare to fight.

Once the battle starts and the Japanese fleet is completely destroyed, then the Japanese player will not have any naval ships, and all the ports will become undefended ports, and ships from other countries can freely board 6 and attack the Japanese islands at any location.

And the Chinese Pacific Fleet. This is just a part of the Chinese Navy's fleet, and there are many more elite ships anchored in the military ports in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Yangtze River, guarding the coastal defense lines of various places. Therefore, even if the entire Pacific Fleet is destroyed, Chinese players will be able to quickly form a second Pacific Fleet in a very short time.

This is an asymmetrical war potential.*** This kind of ability is not what Japan has now, the Japanese island lacks resources, Vladivostok in the north and the Ryukyu Islands in the south are blocked by Chinese players, and Japanese players are now extremely short of even iron nails for shipbuilding, and fighting a war of attrition with Chinese players is a self-defeating road.

Kyushu, Japan. Kagoshima.

Suzuki Sanosuke stood on the southernmost reef of Kagoshima with a blank expression, looking at the southern Osumi Islands, and he didn't know what to think. He was the son of Yu Suzuki, president of Nagasaki Kaisha, the first kaisha of Kyushu in Japan, and the supreme commander of the naval fleet on the island of Kyushu.

From the outbreak of the Korean-Japanese War, he was ordered to take charge of the Japanese Kyushu Fleet and fight against Li Tianen of the Korean * team. However, the operation did not go well, and Li Tianen's courage and command level were much higher than expected. South Korea and Japan have fought dozens of naval battles, large and small. But he didn't take advantage of anything, but lost a lot of warships, and even a large area of Kyushu Island. The only big victory, with the help of Japan's Honshu Island Fleet and Hokkaido Fleet, fought an ambush battle and destroyed thousands of South Korean warships, which suppressed the arrogance of the Korean * team. Unfortunately, this victory was not able to completely turn the situation around, and the Filipino player army was thrown into the battlefield. Once again, the situation facing Japanese players has deteriorated.

But. None of this was what he was thinking at the moment.

His eyes were fixed on the Osumi Islands, the northernmost island of the Ryukyu Islands, and his eyes were red, a little excited, but more helpless.

The South Korean army is not terrible, the North Korean army is not strong, and the Philippine army is just a plate of scattered sand. What really controls the situation in East Asia is the fleet of Chinese players. If there is no Chinese fleet behind it. South Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines together may not be enough for Japanese players to stuff their teeth.

Now, the Chinese fleet is deploying in an orderly manner. After defeating the Russian Far Eastern Principalities, they blocked Japan's northern resource passage from the direction of Vladivostok, while firmly holding Japan in the hands of the Korean, North Korean, and Philippine armies. Now, they are clearing the Ryukyu Islands and blocking Japan's sea resources from the south.

The Japanese archipelago is a long and narrow chain of islands in the shape of a snake, with a head to the north and a tail to the south. Now the head and tail are truncated by the Chinese fleet. The whole of Japan is trapped on four small islands. Immobile.

This is what Japan fears the most.

Suzuki Sanosuke shuddered slightly, and a trace of fear arose in his heart.

as a game. Even if you are trapped in the game, there is nothing to lose, at most you will be eliminated from the game and not play this game. But as a highly realistic game, if something can be done in the game, it can be done in reality. But if you are trapped by the same methods and strategies in reality, can it be over if I stop playing?

Many people, professional masters from many countries, and even sent military teams to play this "Empire" game seriously. The reason is simple, this is a large simulated battlefield, a simulated training ground. Training in the virtual game world, which has been popularized and used in the regular armies of many countries, but no virtual training ground is as large as "Empire", and it incorporates a lot of economic concepts.

What you dare not do, can't do, or don't want to do in reality, you can do it here, and simulate it here.

The point of this kind of simulated war is not who kills whom, who kills whom. Because no one can die in the game, it doesn't matter how many people you kill. The real significance of this kind of simulated war lies in who uses a certain strategy and method to destroy whom. This is because the strategy in this game is almost the same as the strategy in reality. This means that the same strategy can be implemented both in-game and re-enacted.

Moreover, most of the people participating in the game of "Empire" are tens of trillions and billions of people from various countries, which is an intellectual contest between the people of various countries.

He forced himself to compose himself, pondering how Japan could break through the predicament set by the Chinese players. But he hadn't been thinking about this for a day or two, and every time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

The geographical disadvantage of the Japanese archipelago is not something that can be changed by manpower.
