Looking at the three sets of choices given by the system, Zhou Zhengqing felt a little toothache.

Is it okay if you want them all?

Looking at the countdown time given by the system, I decided not to go to the battlefield and fight in person.

The first system is obviously suitable for actual combat on the battlefield and cannot be used by myself.

As for the third set, it seems to focus more on logistics...

exclude!

Zhou Zhengqing finally focused his attention on the second option.

With a thought.

The "Strategic Growth System" glowed brightly, while the other two systems dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, the light curtain changed again.

--------------------------

Detailed operational design of the merit and reputation mechanism.

The merit and reputation mechanism must take into account the three core functions of combat contribution, strategic growth, and resource exchange, while integrating into the historical background.

The following is the specific operational framework:

1. Ways to obtain Merit

Combat Merits

Killing/capturing enemies: Merit points are calculated based on the enemy's rank (such as Major or Colonel in the Japanese army) and number (for example: killing 1 Major = 50 merit points, capturing 1 squadron = 300 merit points).

Battle victory: Complete ambushes, raids, urban battles, etc., and rewards will be given based on the scale (e.g., 200 merits will be awarded for annihilating a Japanese squadron, and 1000 merits will be awarded for capturing a county town).

Special tactics: Using tactics such as "airstrike" and "blasting" can add additional merits (for example, successfully detonating a mine and blowing up a Japanese truck will earn you 100 merits).

Non-combat achievements

Intelligence decryption: Intercepting and decrypting Japanese secret messages (such as early warning of Japanese military actions) will be rewarded with 200 merits.

Logistics support: transport supplies to friendly forces, treat the wounded, and receive rewards based on your contribution (e.g., escorting 10 trucks of medicine to the front line will earn you 150 merit points).

Mass mobilization: Recruit militia and organize guerrillas. Each successful formation of a 1-person team will be rewarded with 50 merits.

-----------------------

2. Merit Exchange System

Equipment and weapons

Individual equipment: Consume merits to exchange for weapons that are in line with the times (e.g. "Type 20 rifle" = 15 merits, "Turtle Box" pistol = merits).

Advanced weapons: Unlocked by high merit (e.g. the Barrett sniper rifle requires 5000 merit, and requires completing difficult tasks such as "destroying the Japanese heavy artillery positions").

Special skills: Exchange for "Demolition Expert" (increases the power of explosives by 30%) or "Medical Master" (doubles the recovery speed of the wounded), etc.

Resources and infrastructure

Ammunition supply: 100 merits can be exchanged for 1 ammunition box (containing 1000 rifle bullets).

Arsenal: Consume 5000 Merits to unlock the battlefield arsenal, which contains a full set of the most advanced weapons and equipment production technology of the era.

------------------------------

3. Reputation System and Its Function

How to gain reputation

Battle performance: defeating a larger force with a smaller one and annihilating the enemy with zero casualties can greatly increase your reputation (for example, if 100 people defeat a Japanese regiment, you will be awarded the title of "Iron-Blooded War God" +500 reputation).

Public interaction: Protecting the village and distributing food can accumulate public opinion and reputation (every 100 public opinion = 10 reputation).

Participation in historical events: Participate in and assist friendly forces in victory (such as assisting in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Hundred Regiments Offensive, etc.), and gain reputation based on your contribution.

Reputation feature unlocked

Advanced Intelligence Network: After reaching a certain level of reputation, you can unlock real-time intelligence on Japanese military movements (such as knowing about a raid plan 3 days in advance).

Special storyline: Reputation unlocks the "Infiltration Behind Enemy Lines" quest chain.

After unlocking, you can consume the corresponding reputation points to randomly refresh a character from the Anti-Japanese Drama and assassinate a high-ranking Japanese officer with a 100% success rate. The higher the rank, the higher the reputation points consumed.

International Aid: Above reputation, can trigger events such as Soviet aid to China or American Flying Tigers support.

Reputation points are also used for system rank promotion, and rank promotion can unlock special permissions.

E.g.

Airdrop: Lieutenant Colonel and above can call for airdrop of supplies (10 tons of supplies requires 3000 merits).

Strategic Map: Major General and above unlock the national battlefield situation map, marking the weak points of the Japanese supply lines.

--------------------

4. Special mechanisms and strategies.

Merit Overdraft and Punishment

Overdraft function: In an emergency, you can overdraft future merits (such as overdraft merits to summon temporary reinforcements. Note: temporary reinforcements will be adjusted by the system in a logical manner and will not arouse suspicion. The more reputation you overdraw, the larger the scale of the reinforcements you summon.), but you need to repay it later through high-difficulty tasks.

Prestige diplomacy.

Winning over forces: High reputation can be used to incite puppet troops to defect (for example, using 5000 reputation to incite a regiment of the Wang Puppet Army to defect), and the reputation value required for Japanese troops will be doubled.

International public opinion: Once your reputation reaches a certain level, you can publish a "Letter to International Friends" to gain support from Western media.

Summary: Dynamically balanced “contribute, grow” cycle

The system accumulates merit and reputation through combat, intelligence, logistics, and public opinion, forming a closed loop of growth of "fighting to support war and exchanging merit for power."

In the early stages, you can accumulate merits by ambushing Japanese transport teams, and exchange them for basic weapons to form a guerrilla team.

In the middle term, he used his reputation to incite the puppet army to rebel, obtain intelligence, and expand the control of the base.

In the later stage, high military rank + high reputation unlocks the super arsenal, realizes the "war-to-war" industrial chain, and ultimately accelerates the victory of the War of Resistance.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"System, have you forgotten that I am a Japanese now! Me! The military police commander!" Zhou Zhengqing blinked and asked in confusion.

The system is silent. . . . . .

"It seems that all of these are only useful to the other side! I'm lurking... No, I'm not undercover! What I mean is, I..." Zhou Zhengqing didn't know how to express what he meant.

The system that has just been restarted may be down and has not responded.

Just when Zhou Zhengqing thought the system had crashed again, he asked tentatively, "How many merit points and reputation do I have now?"

The next moment, data appeared on the light screen.

The two big zeros and the system's super strong and smooth response speed made Zhou Zhengqing understand.

This is not a system crash, this is a system that is rigid!

Weak artificial intelligence, also known as weak mental system, this is it!

Knock knock knock…

There was a knock on the door.

"General, there's an urgent telegram from home!" Yudai Itai excitedly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Oh, judging from your expression, it's good news, right?" Zhou Zhengqing saw that Itai Yudai was ignoring the light screen floating in front of him, and he understood that the system was still very advanced and could not be seen by ordinary people.

"Hehehe, it's time for us to take action and give Kazuki Seiji a hard time." The pimples on Itai Yudai's face turned red, and he excitedly handed over a telegram.

Zhou Zhengqing took the telegram and read it with a smile.

Oh, it’s an arrest warrant issued directly by the Ministry of Army.

Stable.

"Yoshi! Arrange for the military police to assemble immediately!" Zhou Zhengqing slammed the table and stood up suddenly. The sound exploded in the silent room, as if to completely release the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

Before this, until he only had a few years left to live, it was like a heavy rock pressing down on his heart.

But now, knowing that I can break free from the constraints of this world at any time, the huge rock that was weighing on my heart finally fell to the ground.

An unprecedented sense of relief came over him, and his mood suddenly became brighter, as if he was standing on the vast ocean, with a jewel-blue sky above his head and an endless sea in front of him. He really had a feeling of the vastness of the sea and the sky.

As he stood up, Zhou Zhengqing's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.

He thought to himself, "Let's make a fuss! Let's make a fuss! The bigger the fuss, the better. I can leave this world anytime now, so who cares if it gets too intense!"

"Hey! I'll get ready right away!" Itai Yudai's voice trembled with excitement. He put his feet together and bowed respectfully. Then he asked hesitantly, "That is... General, what should we do if Kazuki Seiji orders his men to rebel?"

Zhou Zhengqing raised the telegram in his hand slowly with a mocking smile on his face. The telegram paper rustled in his hand.

"Resist! Don't you see this is an order from the military?" Then, his face turned serious, and Zhou Zhengqing's eyes became sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath: "Resisting the Royal Military Police is tantamount to treason! Kill them without mercy!"

"Hi! I understand!" Itai Yudai was so excited that he almost jumped up. He bowed vigorously, then turned around and trotted out.

The footsteps were light and quick, making a "dong dong" sound on the floor.

He couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with madness.
