The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 516 San Juan Meat Grinder (asking for monthly ticket)

San Juan did not fall immediately.

After all, this hastily formed alliance brought together hundreds of thousands of people here.

——The total number of players in the two alliances is in the millions, and the forces that can be directly mobilized are also as high as one million.

There is simply not enough space for 800 large ships.

Players who cannot get on the ship will naturally choose to station at the nearest location.

Although San Juan did not fall, it was tightly blockaded by the Xia players, and even the port was destroyed.

Hundreds of thousands of people were stuck in a city in San Juan and couldn't get out.

A large group of overseas game anchors were holding a live meeting in confusion, asking how these people appeared.

——How would they know how many skilled shipbuilders the [Polaris Chamber of Commerce] has.

How could they know that the players from Xia Country could curl up in wooden barrels and sail across the ocean, or even swim across the strait?
After the siege was complete and the two sides had been in direct conflict for a whole day, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses, the Xia players released the spectacular footage of thousands of troops crossing the strait.

There is no doubt that morale is boosted!
After this, the battle entered a new phase——

The "Caribbean Republic" is centered on Dominica and Puerto Rico and expands to the surrounding islands.

The "Free Alliance" gathered here from all directions, trying to shrink the territory of the "Caribbean Republic".

During this period, we fought for routes, raided behind enemy lines, destroyed supplies, supported enemy forces, and decapitated command nodes...

Various confrontations emerge one after another and become increasingly fierce!
Because of this war, Xu Meng even got in touch with an unexpected organization——

Xia Kingdom Navy.

They went directly through Xu Meng's channels and ordered 10 Dream Machines - not because they didn't want to buy more, but because they couldn't squeeze out more in a short period of time.

Xu Meng asked them in surprise: Why do you want to build a dream machine?
They said bluntly that they were going to "Sailing in the Blue Sea" for training.

Xu Meng couldn't quite understand.

What kind of training would a modern navy have to do in the Caribbean of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries using sailing ships and flintlock muskets?
It can't be that they are preparing to fight the "Invincible Armada" of the 21st century, right?
This is not over yet.

Two days later, when Xu Meng talked about this matter with Yin Zhiyuan, she found out that Lu Jun had already joined!
They had been paying close attention since Nelson and his men began distributing leaflets advocating "fight the nobles and divide the land" in the city of Santo Domingo.

Later, when the "World War" broke out, they immediately joined in after realizing that the scale of the battle was in the millions.

There are now three active army staff officers in the command system of this republic that has not yet been established.

——However, they mainly observe and guide, and do not strive for dominance.

After learning the news, Xu Meng was no longer surprised when he saw war correspondents and military fans making various sand tables for replays and playing military simulations.

As a result, "Caribbean Lookout" has almost become a "war situation report" program.

There is no way. This all-out war has affected every aspect of the Caribbean.

Merchant ships transporting daily necessities were affected by the war and had to take detours.

They may even be forcibly "expropriated".

The navy was busy suppressing rebellions and no longer carried out routine patrols, so the pirates were under much less pressure and raids on towns became more frequent.

Plantations were abandoned and no one was cultivating them.

When fishermen go out to sea to fish, they often drive out in their boats and swim back.

……

Caribbean Lookout, with the support of the development team, has the most comprehensive information and can always provide everyone with a more macro perspective.

Therefore, it is very popular!

The audience is no longer limited to players of "Bi Hai Yang Xuan".

——All netizens who are paying attention to this war will not miss this program.

However, this month-end issue of "Caribbean Lookout" was postponed for several days in order to wait for the results of the three major rankings proposed by Boss Xu to be released.

It wasn't until the last day of June that I finally met my netizens.

Miss Tang Qian, who now has more and more fans, appeared on the stage wearing a sailor suit and a captain's hat.

After the routine greetings, we immediately got to the point:

"The protracted war continues, let's start the weekly war review!"

"The long battle of San Juan has finally come to an end."

"The rebels led by Nelson and the fighters of the Free Alliance fought fiercely here."

"With supplies cut off, continuous shelling and day-to-day street fighting, this place has become a meat grinder, ruthlessly devouring more than 390 million lives on both sides."

"Just yesterday, the Freedom Alliance gathered its fleet for the last time and tried to break the blockade. After failing, it officially announced that it had abandoned San Juan." "The San Juan navy and local defense forces collapsed on the same day."

"The last stronghold of Puerto Rico has been eliminated, and the entire island has been brought under the control of the rebels."

"With the complete capture of Hispaniola, the rebels have now acquired two complete islands, laying a real foundation."

"[The Caribbean Republic] was officially established the next day! This is the first country in the Caribbean that is completely free from colonial rule by outsiders."

“It is also the only country where everyone is equal and does not recognize any particularity of race or blood.”

"At this point, the rebel army's forces have reached a series of islands in the southeastern island chain, and the Free Alliance lacks large ships to transport troops and is no longer able to support this area."

"The islands of Cuba and Jamaica to the west are also facing the enemy's peak. The Freedom Alliance is gathering troops and building a defense line here."

"And in Havana on the west side of Cuba, the slave uprising has not yet been completely suppressed."

"The day before yesterday, they decided to ban smoking at the suggestion of a group of Oriental adventurers. To show their determination, they set fire to all the tobacco plantations around Havana."

"Thick smoke filled the entire Havana, causing nicotine poisoning and respiratory damage to tens of thousands of people, and thousands more became seriously addicted to smoking."

"..."

This segment is a review of what has happened. Many players already know about it, so the report is very fast.

While Tang Qian and Han Dong were reading the script, the director quickly switched the live images.

There was a bloody street fight in San Juan.

Nelson's confused expression when the Caribbean Republic was established.

Pedestrians are laughing wildly and looking very excited on the streets of Havana covered in thick smoke.

……

Tang Qian was trying to hold back her laughter.

The players were laughing wildly.

Netizens' faces were full of question marks.

As the report continued, netizens gradually discovered that the complexity of this matter was far beyond their expectations.

In the Caribbean, it's not just the Caribbean Republic and the Free Alliance that are fighting - although the war between these two sides is complicated enough.

Although the Free Alliance has established its roots in Belize in the western Caribbean, there are constant internal frictions and fights from time to time.

A large number of well-known pirates gathered in Nassau and announced the official establishment of the Pirate Kingdom.

The slave uprisings continued like sparks, and despite constant suppression, they kept recurring.

Britain, France, and Spain are also constantly sending more troops here - according to players' statistics, the number of warships they have sent has already exceeded the total in history.

Although the Caribbean Republic is currently the strongest force, it still has a long way to go if it wants to unify the Caribbean.

The current three-way balance of power between the Free Alliance and the NPC will continue for a long time.

In particular, a special news was announced on the show——

"As part of this reinforcement, the British Royal Navy has sent a naval admiral to Port Royal to assist in the defense."

Netizens don't care about this, but players are confused:
"Admiral? Is there such a position in the Royal Navy?"

"Wait for me to check the historical data!"

"Is this a backup measure sent out by the authorities in case Jamaica is lost and the plot gets completely out of control? That should be very powerful!"

……

Everyone was very confused, but "Caribbean Lookout" did not give an answer and went straight to the next part.

……

After a series of news were reported, the story ended with the results of the three rankings of navy, pirates, and merchants set up by Boss Xu.

However, due to the impact of the war, the [Pirate King] and [Navy Commander], who had the highest points, were now both "lone commanders".

Their ships were sunk in the fierce battle.

Only Qihuahua, who was given the title of [Great Sea Merchant], still retained the most important [Polaris] merchant ship.
-
After the Caribbean Lookout show, the Sprawling Metropolitan Midday News follows.

The number of viewers for this episode is even higher than that of Caribbean Lookout!
Because the audition results of the dragon fighting competition have finally come to be announced.

——In order not to delay the [World's No. 7 Dragon Fighting Conference] on July 2, the top 200 players on the leaderboard were invited by Zhumeng to visit Ningzhou a week in advance.

Xu Meng will appear in person to present the awards.

A fully upgraded holographic belt using photon chips will also be officially released!
