Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 323 Those who are not from my race must have different hearts.

United States, THQ headquarters (North American publisher of Ancient War).

"Have you communicated?"

"Yes, I have shared this news with other friendly business leaders."

"Okay, what are the attitudes of the other parties?"

"Our allies, including the UK, France, Canada, and Australia, are completely on our side. They also think that splitting a game company in the East 55- is not appropriate for current revenue. Everything is ready according to the previous plan, that is..."

"Just what?"

"The Middle East is dismissive of our proposal, and Japan and South Korea are a little hesitant. Boss, do you think we should wait for them?"

"What are you waiting for? No more waiting. It doesn't matter what choice the other party makes. They are just two cowardly puppies. We must take action!
Show the other side some color. A game developer wants to compete with the publisher for food, and takes the temporary reward given to you as a matter of course. This is wrong. Let the other side know the truth about how this world works. Go and make preparations in advance. Start the action in 3 hours!"

"But the battle is raging in the game right now. What if the players have any objections?"

"Player opinions? When did the giant's actions need to consider the ants' thoughts? It's not important. Just follow the orders!"

"OK, BOSS!"

It has been 3 months since the public beta of the global server of "Ancient War" "Rise of Kingdoms" on March 1st.

During this period, the strength of the players in the game became increasingly powerful. From the original real "Awakening of Nations", after friction, fighting, war, plunder, and annexation, as time went on, the situation of warlords gradually turned into alliances among the major forces in the game.

At present, the overall territory is divided into three major camps, including the Western Federation composed of Europe, the United States, Australia, Japan and South Korea.

The Eastern Alliance is formed by the complete Chinese body and the incorporation of neighboring Southeast Asian countries.

There is another force that is independent of itself, and that is the Middle East, which has geographical advantages and wealth and has a somewhat transcendent position.

Although there are few players in the Middle East forces, their individual capabilities are strong, which becomes the last straw that affects the balance. Therefore, neither side will take the initiative to provoke a third party. However, this group of turbaned people who watch the fun and are not afraid of trouble cannot be defended. They are fence-sitters, adding fuel to the fire on both sides and helping whichever side is weak, in order to ensure that everyone gets the benefit.

Moreover, as players' investment grows, the sunk costs become higher and higher. At this point, both sides have no way out and the only option is to move forward.

Up to now, the fierce confrontation between the East and the West has intensified and has reached a critical and sensitive period where the spark is about to ignite.

On July 7, the Western Federation, under the command of their leader, General MacArthur, launched an all-out surprise attack on a strategic location on the outskirts of the Chinese Alliance through a large number of teleportation arrays.

The teleportation array is a prop in ancient wars. Due to the time difference between the East and the West, there are only 4 hours in the morning and evening when the system will remove the protective shield and both sides can attack each other.

This item is not subject to such restrictions and can be used to teleport over long distances at any time across the protective shield to the other side's border. However, this one-time item is priced at 648 (the currency of the region) per piece, which is very expensive, and can only carry out teleportation work for 10 people.

For this operation, the coalition forces of the Western Federation spent huge amounts of money in advance to buy a large number of teleportation array props and assembled 2000 elite troops. The teleportation array alone cost nearly million US dollars for this operation. It can be said that they burned their boats and invested a lot of money.

If this sneak attack succeeds and captures key territory, it will tear a hole in the opponent's impregnable defense, allowing them to attack or defend. This will be the biggest achievement of this side in the past few months, lay the foundation for the subsequent development of the war, and greatly boost the morale of the Allied forces.

The Eastern Alliance's response was extremely quick. In just a few minutes, they gathered their forces to resist the Western Federation's massive offensive. The two sides began a fierce offensive and defensive battle over this strategic location called Huaguo Mountain.

For a while, this local battlefield once again became a meat grinder for the players.

In fact, this was just MacArthur's trick. After several months of fighting wits and courage with the enemy, they also learned to build a false front. Although the battle of Huaguoshan was fierce, in fact only 30% of the total force was mobilized. It was only when all the troops were mobilized at once that the enemy was given the illusion that the entire army was attacking.

The target of their secret attack was a fortress called Huangfengling in the southwest, which was the main attack direction of their operation this time.

Following the order from the supreme commander General Arthur, the main force of the Western Federation began to truly attack Huanglong.

This raid was very fruitful, because the border of the Eastern Alliance stretched out, and as the defending party, there was always a chance of losing sight of one thing while focusing on another.

However, the Eastern Alliance's response was decisive and ruthless. Seeing that Huangfengling had lost the initiative, they adopted a tactic of changing homes while putting up a stubborn resistance. They gathered heavy troops to attack the center of the Western Federation's frontier positions, and attacked the enemy's whereabouts.

Seeing that the resistance of Huangfengling was not large, MacArthur simply ignored the enemy's attack and instead supported Huaguoshan. Even if he lost an important town, as long as he captured the enemy's two strategic locations, he would still make a profit of 2:1.

As time went by, the Western Federation Strategic Command deduced that they had gained an absolute advantage and would eventually win the war.

This is the first time in several months that we have had such a big advantage.

"Cheers~" In a manor in the United States, several foreigners began drinking champagne to celebrate the upcoming victory in advance.

This is the command center of the Western Federation’s American headquarters. Johnson, whose game nickname is “MacArthur,” heard congratulations from leaders of player groups from various countries through his headphones.

Everyone celebrated with each other because this time the Eastern Alliance was forced to defend and counterattack, and first lost the initiative, and the scale of their own troop preparations was far greater than the opponent's temporary troops, so the advantage was on our side.

They speculated all kinds of possibilities about the other party's comeback, but there was no chance at all unless they encountered force majeure.

Moreover, when this operation started, many people started live broadcasts simultaneously. There were even many game anchors on Twitch who specifically broadcast this battle, explaining and analyzing the strategies and tactics to the majority of players and netizens.

The big guys opened champagne, the anchors made one-sided predictions, and netizens from Western countries also began to perform with great joy, celebrating the long-awaited partial victory in this protracted war.
"Hold on! You must hold on this wave. I don't care what methods you use, you must die on the battlefield. Wait until I come online!"

As the most powerful player in Huangfengling and also the town commander-in-chief, Wu You was woken up by his cell phone in the middle of the night.

After hanging up the phone, he saw that it was just past 3 a.m. He climbed out of his beauty's nest, ignoring the protests of the beauty beside him. After all, women were not as fun as playing games.

Wu You immediately opened the Ancient War on his mobile phone, and at the same time took out another phone to call several other friends, asking them to go online and join the battle.

He cursed inwardly, saying that these foreign devils had no moral principles and launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night. In fact, this kind of thing happened from time to time. Both sides would sneak attack each other like this and everyone enjoyed it.

But when Wu You entered the game and zoomed out, he saw that nearly half of the city was occupied by densely packed red dots. Each red dot was an enemy player, which made him feel a little scalp-numbing.

What the hell, what's going on, such a big scene.
Half an hour passed
Wu You's head was covered in sweat as his fingers nearly poked through the screen.
The several waves of defense organized by our side were defeated one after another. After all, the difference in numbers of 1:5 was too great.
Are these foreigners crazy? They are attacking like crazy. Even if our high-end fighters come to support us, the ants will devour the elephants, and even the strongest men can't stand the endless demands.
He also learned that not only the Flower-Fruit Mountain and their Huangfeng Ridge, but also the Leifeng Pagoda in the southeast and the Yalu River in the northeast were suffering from the invasion of the jumping clown.

Wu You stared at the screen of his phone with lifeless eyes. Even if all his troops had paid to stay alive, they were still in the war cooling time, with dozens of seconds left.
Is it still not possible?
At this moment, he suddenly heard the exclamations of his comrades in arms through his earphones.
"Hey, the number of opponents seems to have decreased~"

"Fuck! It's true. I was fighting with him just now. I killed three of them. The fourth one couldn't hold on any longer and was about to lose. Haha, the opponent suddenly stopped moving, just like he was offline!"

"God bless China! It must be that the other side couldn't stand the shameless villain's insidious behavior, so it directly sent justice from heaven and unplugged their network cables!"

"Good news has also come from Huaguo Mountain. A similar situation has occurred there!"

Wu You was shocked and said quickly, "Stop talking for now. Let's take this opportunity to clear out all the remaining rats!"

Afterwards, not only did they defend the two important towns of Huaguoshan and Huangfengling, but they even captured an enemy city.

In the southeast and northeast, the players of the Japan-Korea alliance found that the enemy's people were getting more and more. They started with an all-out attack, then half attack and half defense, then switch from offense to defense, then to a full retreat, but they were still defeated and could not resist.

Where is the promised attack from both sides? Where is the attack from both sides?
Then they got the news that the Western side was disconnected and suffered a total rout. What the hell, they shouted at the other side, "This is a misunderstanding~ a pure misunderstanding!"

The Chinese players were not happy and fought even harder. "Fuck you, I'll beat you to death~"

Without the support of the Western Federation, the Japan-South Korea Alliance was defeated in just half an hour and retreated to its capital, relying on the system protection shield to survive.

According to the game mechanism, if this situation lasts for more than three days, this force will be wiped out and incorporated into the Zhaoan.

"Wo~~~Ze~~Fa?"

"Oh~~~Sell~~~Cake shit!!!"

"Hong Li~~~Thank you!"

In the Western country where the largest war in the history of Rise of Nations took place, players, anchors, and netizens all expressed the above exclamation.
From a more macro and global perspective of the game, nearly one-third of the players in the Western Federation were disconnected and could no longer log in.

At first, these people thought that there was some major bug in the game, or that the other side was behind it. After all, it was a mobile game produced by an Eastern country, and they began to use tricks to influence the situation.

These people began to criticize the players of Bi'an and Huaxia, the developers of "Ancient War", in the comment sections and forums.

Even some players who are proficient in Chinese went to China to leave messages.

Half an hour later, all regional servers in the Western Federation were disconnected, and all players of "Ancient War" discovered that things were not as simple as they thought.

One hour after the disconnection,

The publishers of Ancient War, mainly in Western countries, jointly issued a letter to all players regarding the offline incident caused by the partial server outage.
After reading this, MacArthur spit out the champagne he had just drunk but hadn't yet digested.
