The presidents of more than a dozen famous game clubs from Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido are nervously discussing a plan to break the East Asian dilemma and find a way for Japanese players to get rid of the resource constraints imposed on Japan by Chinese and Russian players.

"If we can neither defeat South Korea, occupy the Korean Peninsula, get resources from the Korean Peninsula, China. There is also no certainty that Russia will be defeated, the Russian Far East will be occupied, and resources will be obtained from the Far East. In fact, we have another way to break the dilemma. ”

"Oh, what's the solution?"

"There are only three great powers in East Asia: China, Japan, and Russia. Since Japan cannot defeat China and Russia alone, then we need to form an alliance with one of them, get enough resources from them, and then send troops together to occupy and divide the other. Then, Japan will fight a decisive battle with the remaining countries to determine the hegemony of East Asia. ”

"Hmph, that's easy to say, but would Chinese and Russian players ally with us so easily? Needless to say, the Chinese side has provided a large amount of arms to South Korean players, making it clear that they want to use South Korea's hand to greatly weaken our strength. Chinese players have not declared war on us so far, they are just saving strength, and if they think that Chinese players will join forces with us, it will be self-defeating, and it is impossible for us to form an alliance with China.

As for the Russian Far East, we have repeatedly asked them for an alliance and for the opening of trade, but these Russians have never given us a good look, and they have refused to sell us any mineral resources. They don't want us to exhibit a large-scale bronze and steel industry, let alone an alliance with us. Russia wants to become a counterweight in East Asia, and their best hope is for China and Japan to fight, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity. ”

"Between China and the Russian Far East, we still have more hope of forming an alliance with players in the Russian Far East. Russia is reluctant to sell mineral raw materials because they are afraid that we will exhibit the bronze and steel industries and thus exceed their production capacity, but they are willing to sell high-value products and trade with us.

The problem is that we don't have anything to exchange with Russia, and there are only trees, fish, and a small amount of metal minerals on the Japanese islands. There is no shortage of trees in the Russian Far East. We don't have enough food ourselves, and it's impossible to sell them a small amount of our metal minerals, which we still need to use for shipbuilding. The products we produce are of such a low grade that Russian players simply don't want them. If we want to form an alliance with Russia, we must have something that we can trade with them for mutual benefit, and we must make friends with them. ”

The presidents were silent. The Bronze Age and the Black Iron Age were very unfavorable to Japan, and the shortage of resources prevented the island from producing any high-quality products in large quantities. However, the two powerful Linguo have no less calculation ability than them. Don't give them a chance to grow. Chinese player organizations and Russian player organizations are almost invariably stuck in the flow of resources to Japan. What can they do in this situation?

A Japanese player who was listening behind the presidents had an idea, saying, "The Russian Far East lacks an NPC population to exchange for their copper and iron ores?" Russian players will definitely be more than happy to trade with us, so that we can also establish a bond of interest with Russian players by the way. Attack China from both sides of Hai 6 at the same time and divide China's resources! ”

The presidents were stunned.

Oda, the president who presided over the meeting, was furious: "Bastard! If the players of the Russian Far East get a large number of NPCs and their strength increases, we will never want to climb to the 6 Far East, and we will never want to dominate Asia. Only Chinese or Russian players will dominate Asia. What a bad idea you have, get out! ”

The Japanese player was about to plead his case when he was kicked out of the conference room by the rest of the players. I couldn't help but leave the meeting place in frustration.

The rest of the Japanese players looked at each other and continued to discuss.

Oda glanced at everyone and said sternly, "It is absolutely intolerable to exchange people for minerals. All Japanese companies must come out of Japan and prohibit this kind of bad trade. If we want to get minerals, there is another way to do it - and that is to start a war between the Chinese players and the Russian Far East. The population of the Russian Far East is too small. The ability to continue fighting is definitely not as good as that of Chinese players, and the possibility of defeat is extremely high. We took the opportunity to make an alliance request to the players in the Russian Far East, asking them to export a large amount of copper ore and iron ore raw materials to us, and we will provide strategic support to them from the side battlefield of the Korean Peninsula, and after taking the Korean Peninsula, we will send the navy into Lushun Dalian on the Liaodong Peninsula and join forces with the Russian players to march into the Northeast. Japanese players and NPCs have a large population and get enough resources after getting them. Sustained combat capabilities far exceed those of the Russian Far East. In the end, it will be Japan that will dominate the East Asian theater. Only in this way will we have a chance to dominate Asia. Dominate the world. ”

"The war between China and Russia is the only chance for Japan to profit from it!" We can use China's threats to force players in the Russian Far East to ally with us. We use China's interests to make deals with Russian players, not our own. ”

"What Oda-kun said is exactly what he said!"

The presidents laughed. "As long as China and Russia go to war, even if we do nothing, we can get a lot of benefits. Not only the Russians, but also the Chinese will come to the door and ask for cooperation, so that we do not side with each other. At that time, the initiative is in our hands. ”

Vladimir, the Russian player leader in Vladivostok Castle with tens of thousands of players, has not been in a good mood lately, and not only because the other players in the Russian Far East are pressing forward, which makes his situation seem embarrassing. What's more, in Hokkaido and Honshu Island, Japan, which are separated by hundreds of kilometers of sea, in the past two months, there have often been some player ronins who have drifted across the ocean with a small group of pirates, harassing the coast around Vladivostok, and often robbing Russian players' fishing boats.

For these pirate ronins, he usually orders his subordinates to unceremoniously and directly encircle and kill them.

But it's not that simple. According to credible military intelligence, Japan's Honshu and Hokkaido player groups have been plotting something big to try to do something about the Russian Far East.

This worries him. If the Japanese player wants to do something, Vladivostok in his control will definitely be the brunt. Because Vladivostok is the most important and excellent ice-free military port of Russia in the Pacific Ocean, it is of great military and economic value. If Japanese players want to do anything in the Far East, Vladivostok is the target.

He did not think that the small Japanese ronin pirate armies that often appeared along the coast of Vladivostok appeared for no reason. It must have the purpose of military reconnaissance, and I want to know the armament situation of the 6th Army and the Navy in Vladivostok.

It made his mood very bad, and those damn Japanese players didn't think for a moment about the old nest he had worked so hard to run. Internal worries and external troubles made him very nervous, and he thought about how to prevent a large-scale sneak attack by the Japanese player fleet across the sea all day long. The Japanese were very good at sneak attack, and the Yankees had suffered a lot at their hands.

But. If this made him feel bad, then a piece of news from the Chinese side almost made his heart tremble - the players of the Yan Kingdom of China had built the main road in the northeast.

From Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the main road has been built to Fuyuan in the east, and Mohe in the north. The other secondary roads are connected to the border cities such as Mudanjiang, Jixi, and Yanji, and all the walled cities are connected together.

Fuyuan is only a few dozen kilometers away from Khabarovsk, an important town in the Russian Far East, and the Chinese walled city and the important town of the Russian Far East face each other across the river. From these Chinese walled cities, which opened roads, almost the entire Russian Far East could be swept through.

The Yan Kingdom of China has already built the road. But the Russian Far East. But the work was not done, and the NPC Grand Dukes who presided over the government affairs of the various walled cities in the Russian Far East did not seem to be interested in building roads on a large scale.

Chinese players are not as easy to deal with as Japanese players.

No matter how much the Japanese ronin bounce along the coast of Vladivostok, as long as they don't have enough resources to make ordnance, they can't fight a real war. Even if it is a large-scale sneak attack on Vladivostok, the chances of Japanese players not winning are great.

The army he built up by Vladimir was not an ornament, it was the most powerful naval fleet in the Russian Far East, firmly controlling the coastline of four or five hundred miles around Vladivostok. Otherwise, he will not be able to dominate Vladivostok for a long time.

However, Chinese players are among the most advanced players in the world, not only with a large number of resources, but also with a large number of top-notch weapons and armaments. It was also the first country in the world to acquire iron-smelting technology. Just borrowing the help of Korean players to send troops to Japan has made Japan's Kyushu Island anxious. Not to mention that they shot directly.

He has always believed that the Chinese players will give priority to sending troops against Japan and take all four Japanese islands.

In fact, the leaders of the entire Russian Far East are waiting for this moment.

Once China officially sent troops to Japan. Then Russian players can immediately use this as a threat to force Japanese player organizations to give in and use real money to buy Russian-made weapons against Chinese players. And their Russian players will benefit greatly from the Sino-Japanese war - borrowing the hands of Japanese players will not only weaken the power of Chinese players, reduce China's threat to the Russian Far East, but also gain real currency from Japanese players.

The reason why the Russian players have always tolerated the appearance of Japanese ronin on the coastline and not taken retaliatory measures is that they do not want to start a war with the Japanese players first. They were looking forward to a war between China and Japan. They want to be the village of the Sino-Japanese war, not the village of the small war between Korea and Japan.

But the light from the Chinese kingdom of Yan built roads in a big way. All the way to the border with Russia. But there seems to be some misjudgment. The enmity between China and Russia is no less than that between China and Japan. The conflict between China and Russia is on 6 ground. And the conflict between China and Japan is on the ocean. Chinese players may not give priority to Japan, but it is also very likely that they will give priority to the Russian Far East and occupy the entire Far East. Then we marched into Japan.

The existence of this possibility made Vladimir's heart tremble, and even more made a sense of powerlessness and fear rise in the hearts of the entire Russian player leaders. In the Bronze Age and the Black Iron Age, the era of mule and horse transportation was inconvenient for long-distance transportation, and the strongest 6 Shang Dynasty China fought cold weapon warfare in 6 lands.
