May 12, Nagasaki, Kyushu Island, Japan.

Nagasaki Kaisha, Fukuoka Kaisha, Saga Kaisha, Miyazaki Kaisha, Kumamoto Kaisha, Kitakyushu Kaisha, Oita Kaisha, and Kagoshima Kaisha, the leaders of the eight largest game clubs on the island of Kyushu gathered at the Sasebo Naval Base in Nagasaki.

Nagasaki Sasebo Port, a natural deep-water port, is one of Japan's five major military port bases. Japanese players in Kyushu and South Korea fought against this as their base camp. Nagasaki Kaisha was not only the leader of the alliance of eight clubs, but also the main planner of this attack on Korea.

In the port of Sasebo, there are six or seven hundred Japanese Ataka warships and hundreds of thousands of NPCs. Dozens of players gathered in a simple mansion in the harbor barracks to discuss military affairs.

The eight presidents sat on the left and right sides of the seats.

The rest of the leaders knelt behind the eight presidents. The hierarchy is well ordered.

The room was solemn and silent.

The president of Nagasaki Kaisha, an old man in his fifties, scanned the crowd with a blank expression. "My eight strongest clubs in Kyushu are all here today. The war between Japan and South Korea has lasted for nearly half a month, but there has been no substantial progress. How to win, and what do you think? ”

The president of the Saga Club said coldly: "With the strength of our eight clubs, as long as we gather all the ships and heavy troops, and make a lightning raid on Busan, we will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop and directly land 6 Korea." It's just that President Miyazaki is too indecisive and does not approve of going directly to 6 Korea. ”

President Miyazaki retorted unceremoniously: "President Saga, it's not that I'm indecisive, it's that you're too aggressive. Lightning raids are just a matter of course, and you think that Korean players are ancients from a hundred years ago, with only a few thousand soldiers. Slaughtered? And there is no defense against us? There are nearly 2 million players in South Korea, and there are tens of millions of NPCs who can be used in battle. It's about the same as the number of players in our Kyushu land. They have been prepared for a long time, hundreds of thousands of Korean players have gathered a large number of ships and heavy troops in Busan, and the strength is no less than ours, how can we storm Deng6? Do you pile up corpses? By the time we take Korea, how many soldiers will we have left? ”

The president of Saga Kaisha said angrily, "So what? We have nearly 10 million players all over Japan. If all the clubs of Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido join forces to attack, what will the Koreans use to resist? Ultimately. It's you who are cowardly and want to take South Korea without wanting to pay the price. Where is there such an easy thing to do? ”

The controversy between the president of Saga and Miyazaki is getting stronger and stronger.

The president of Fukuoka Kaisha said, "Both societies have their own concerns, and it is understandable. I don't think there's a need to rush to get on 6 South Korea. We are now fighting at sea with Korean players, and the nature is only a conflict between players from different countries, and there is room for redemption. If our army directly ascends 6 Busan, it will definitely evolve into a national war with the NPC royal regime in the Busan Walled City, and even alarm the Zhou Dynasty regime in China. At that point, the trouble will be great. The NPC regime of the four islands of Japan has not yet completed the unification, and cannot form a joint force, and is simply unable to fight against the Zhou Dynasty. ”

The president of Fukuoka Kaisha said a remark, causing all the leaders to nod their heads in agreement.

In Empires, battles are fought between the armies of players from different countries. It's not a national war. And just border conflicts. National wars, which refer to the annexation of NPC monarchies and territories to each other.

As long as Japanese players do not clash with the Korean dungeons and the NPC armies defending the city, they will not lead to a national war between Japan and South Korea.

The president of Fukuoka Kaisha continued, "Korea and Japan are now both in the Bronze Age, and weapons are nothing more than stone soldiers and bone arrows. and a small number of bronze blades and grass rattan armor. After 6 battles with the Koreans, the strength was not superior enough, and our army could not take much advantage. However, the naval forces, our Japanese fleet, have an absolute advantage. We should first defeat all the merchant ships and ships of the Korean players from the sea and trap them on 6. However, there is not much food that can be produced in South Korea's 6 lands, and it is simply not enough to feed their tens of millions of NPC population. A large part of their food is obtained from fishing at sea. Once the fishing grounds are lost. If they don't have enough food, they will be caught up in civil strife. They will collapse without us beating them. And our access to the fishery resources along the coast of South Korea can also solve the long-standing food dilemma. ”

The president of Miyazaki Kaisha smiled, "What President Fukuoka said is true, and this is also my opinion. Instead of forcibly ascending 6 Busan, it is better to first crush their coastal fleet with a war of attrition, exhaust it, seize their fishing grounds and feed our soldiers. When the time is ripe for the unity of the regime of Japan's four islands, we will land 6 Korea, annex Korea, feed the war with war, enter Northeast China, and obtain the resources of Northeast China. This is the best strategy. Acting rashly and forcibly climbing 6 Busan was a good idea, which could only lead to defeat. ”

The president of Nagasaki suddenly said, "How long are you going to make the Koreans tired?" A month, or two months? There are not many copper or iron mines in Japan, and most of them are small mines. The Koreans have never been our opponents, our opponents are China. After entering the Iron Age, if we cannot occupy the Korean Peninsula and enter the three northeastern provinces, then we will not have enough iron ore to produce weapons, let alone fight the Chinese. Are you going to cross the Pacific Ocean, to the Philippines, Indonesia, to Australia in search of iron ore? Or make a deal with the Russians? What are you going to do to ensure that Japan becomes the most powerful empire possible? The president of Miyazaki Kaisha was speechless.

After all, this virtual game is very different from the real historical process. Because the * of players in each country is exactly the same, it has evolved from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, and except for the future era is not clear, all players know the history of the previous 11 eras and what will be born.

Here, players from any country can't be opportunistic, and can only win by strength.

In real history, Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi could dispatch 300,000 troops, more than 1,000 warships, and lightning raids, sweeping through various "important towns" in Korea in one fell swoop, killing the only 8,000 elites of the Korean royal court, and the 10,000 troops hastily assembled by the Korean general Shen Yu. In only two months and two days, North Korea "lost three capitals and collapsed in all directions", all the three capitals and eighteen provinces fell, two Korean princes were captured, and the Korean king Lee fled to Uiju, and in desperation sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help. It was not until the Ming Dynasty sent troops that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was defeated and Joseon was restored.

If such an event can still be born in the virtual game of "Empire", and the king of Seoul has fallen, it will be a big joke, and the shame of all Korean players can collectively jump the Pacific Ocean. The more than 2 million Korean players are not good-looking, and their soldiers are not pretending to eat dry food, and they can squeeze the Japanese army with people. And the more than 500,000 North Korean players next door will not sit back and watch the South Korean players lose.

It is simply impossible for a Japanese player to land on the territory of 6 South Korea without paying a huge price. Even if you want to win the fishing grounds in the surrounding waters of South Korea, it will be extremely difficult. Korean players won't sit still.

In the Bronze Age, the advantage of the technological gap was not as great as it might have been. The level of technology in Japan and South Korea is almost the same. In terms of resources, the main consumption is grain, timber and copper ore. South Korea's resources are not much less than Japan's, although they are both countries with poor natural mineral resources.

Even if they entered the Iron Age, Japan and South Korea could not open up the obvious technological and strength gaps, because they both lacked sufficient iron ore resources for production and armament. Unless they have access to a lot of resources from somewhere else.

The closest comprehensive resource-intensive area to South Korea and Japan is in the three northeastern provinces. And this place is the territory of the Yan Kingdom, one of the nine princes of the Zhou royal family. In addition to China's three eastern provinces, there is also Russia's Far Eastern District, centered on Khabarovsk.

These two places are the closest raw material resource centers for heavy industry to Japan. But none of them can be hoped for by today's Japanese players. Just one Korean player is enough of a headache for them. Not to mention fighting the Chinese, or the Russians.

The words of the president of Nagasaki Kaisha silenced the leaders of the clubs.

The president of Nagasaki Kaisha said indifferently: "What? When it comes to fighting with Koreans, they all talk about the Tao and win. When it comes to long-term plans and the great cause of building an empire, is there not a single far-sighted strategist? ”

The president of Saga Kaisha stood up and said in a cold voice: "There is no other great cause of the empire, go north to the Korean Peninsula, march to the northeast, annex the Far East, go south to the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, connect the entire Pacific Ocean to the South China Sea, the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, connect Central Asia and Africa with sea resource channels, occupy Jerusalem, and establish a pan-Asian alliance dominated by Japan, with Asia as the center, Europe in the west, and America in the east, then the great cause of the Great Japanese Empire can be accomplished." But in any case, the first step is to destroy South Korea and rob them of their fishing resources. If you can't make up your mind to annex Korea, then everything is an illusion, so you can think about it here and I will not accompany you. The president of Saga Club walked away from the table.
