Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 3066 This is extremely disrespectful behavior

france.

Since witnessing the grand event of the Hong Kong Games Competition last year, the players have been talking about holding a world-class games competition after returning to the mainland.

However, the buzz wasn't loud, and it only circulated within a small circle. Moreover, their performance in the last competition in Hong Kong was not ideal, which meant they didn't receive much attention domestically.

Over time, even those who were initially enthusiastic began to lose heart!
But not long after, their neighbor West Germany began to promote the World Cup in a high-profile manner.

The sound was incredibly loud, as if the whole world was counting on them.

But speaking of the World Cup...

This is definitely a thorn in the side of the romantic country.

To date, their best result in the World Cup is third place, achieved in 58.

As for the rest of the time, I'm just a bystander!

There were even a few times when they didn't even participate in the group stage.

Without comparison, there is no harm done.

Their neighbor, West Germany, was the champion when they achieved their best results.

In addition, there was one runner-up, one third-place finish, and one fourth-place finish; the better results were far superior.

So they both love and hate the World Cup.

They both hope their own team can prove themselves and fear that the neighboring teams are too strong.

After all, the opposing team not only had home advantage, but also Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, and Breitner…

Okay, those are other people's kids.

And what about them?

Nothing!

If we don't even have anyone outstanding, how can we compare with others?

Some people even predict that they'll be lucky to make it out of the group stage in this World Cup!
Given this situation, and the fact that the event was being held in West Germany.

Needless to say, the disgust is ingrained in my bones.

No wonder they're not happy!

Moreover, they know their own team very well; they'd be lucky to even make it out of the group stage.

But this kind of thing that undermines self-confidence is clearly not in line with the romantic persona.

So the French people needed a condiment, otherwise they couldn't be romantic.

Therefore, holding an international games competition became the choice of the French people.

So the previously silent voices rang out again, and this time they gained even more support.

This decision immediately garnered a response from many romantic couples.

The local government is even actively planning to boost economic development and attract tourists from around the world, as the number of visitors will only increase during the World Cup.

They need to seize this opportunity.

After some preparation, Karai in the Brittany region was finally chosen as the venue.

The news sparked jubilation throughout the entire Karai region.

The local government also organized a large number of people to clean up public sanitation facilities and increase public facilities.

Some people even started preparing in advance, calling on friends and family to make a big splash.

Of course, the three most popular games right now are still those from China.

However, these three games have already been thoroughly figured out, so even in competitions, there's not much to watch.

To this end, they organized top domestic universities to start developing new games and also set up a game planning department to select games from internationally renowned games. They also accept works from game developers around the world, and announce the selected works, even using them as games for competitions.

In conclusion, this gaming competition is larger in scale and more authoritative than the one in Hong Kong, and even the prize money is more generous.

Of course, since this game competition was organized in Hong Kong, the two sides reached an agreement to avoid vicious competition.

In future game competitions, the host will take turns.

Thus, preparations for the French International Games Competition proceeded smoothly, attracting a steady stream of game enthusiasts from all over the world. Every day, game developers brought their creations to Carabao, promoting their products and hoping to achieve instant fame.

However, most of the games were unsatisfactory, and the game cards also limited the scope of gameplay, preventing players from escaping the cage created by China!

Similarly, a gaming competition needs a main event.

The organizers have yet to select a game for the main competition.

If they continue with the same game projects as Hong Kong, that would be very disappointing.

The organizers had been struggling with this for over half a year.

Until a message came from Hong Kong, the French planning department saw hope.

A new game has been released in China.

Red Alert!

After learning about it, the planners, organizers, and even game enthusiasts all realized that this was absolutely a groundbreaking game.

The mere fact that the game was moved from cartridge-based game consoles to computers demonstrates a technological leap forward.

After gaining a deeper understanding of the game, the developers became even more excited.

Because this is a real-time strategy game, players achieve their goals by gathering resources, building bases, training armies, and commanding battles.

In other words, this is a war game.

It's a game that can be played offline or against other players.

Up to six computers can form a local area network, the game supports connections, and then the battle begins...

Such a great game, if it can't be featured in these international competitions, would be an insult to the very term "international competition".

Therefore, France immediately sent representatives to China to discuss cooperation.

As the previous champion team, the French organizing committee extended a formal invitation to participate in this competition.

Huaxia has shown great concern for this matter. In response to the request, they are not only preparing to send players to participate in the competition, but also agreeing to send personnel to participate in the event support work to ensure the performance of the computers!

Subsequently, after consulting with their home country, France spent lavishly.

They bought 1,000 computers for $30,000 each.

In addition, there is the right to use the red alert system, as well as the right to hire maintenance and support personnel.

In short, this is a big dog-owning family.

It must be said that romantic people are never ambiguous when it comes to pursuing romance.

Everything was ready, and then news of the red alert spread in France, and from there to the world.

Furthermore, with the added boost of the Red Alert, the hype surrounding France's second gaming tournament even seemed to be surpassing that of the World Cup, greatly exciting the French people.

Finally, news broke that the French leader would also attend the opening ceremony.

Whether it's true or not, it does show the importance this event has garnered.

Brittany, Kalai.

After more than a year of intensive construction, this place has become a paradise for game enthusiasts from all over France.

Various buildings sprang up from the ground, and the entire venue could accommodate 3,000 people to watch the game at the same time.

Of course, this is also preparation for the future, since it is held quite frequently, every other year.

After all, the World Cup is held every four years, while theirs is held every two years.

At this moment, in a newly built game hall, a group of people are sitting in front of their computers, having a heated debate.

“Henri, can’t you just give up on those damn French cannons? They’re too expensive to build and consume a lot of electricity. They’re just suicide missions.”

"The key issue is that this thing has blind spots, slow attack speed, and slow turning speed. Couldn't you have chosen a different country?"

The speaker was a little girl with freckles on her face. She was standing next to a little boy with her hands on her hips, angrily accusing him.

"Adele, don't worry, we need to build several of these giant cannons to unleash their full power."

The little boy named Angli spoke confidently, then placed the completed giant cannon around it, and then built the wall little by little.

Adele rolled her eyes, then walked to the other side, where a little girl with a ponytail was sitting in front of the computer.

The difference is that the little girl has delicate features and fair skin.

"Oh my God, Camille, how many White Horse planes do you have?"

Adele stared in shock at the entire aircraft factory on the screen.

Although the game uses a Chinese name, you'll get the hang of it after playing it a few times. Besides, it's not like they don't understand Chinese.

I can still understand simple text!

"Oh, eight. We can start fighting after building one more."

"Of course, I think three are enough!"

Camille spoke confidently, then complained, "This money is too little. I've been mining for the past half hour."

"I should have built more mining trucks."

After complaining, Camille's face lit up with excitement as he turned to Henri and said, "Are you done yet? I'm going to attack."

"Come on, come on, my giant cannon is itching for action."

Angli smiled calmly, looking at the screen on the computer, full of confidence.

The two are getting familiar with the game because there will be three matches in the official competition, with each map being played once.

As for the countries to be used, they will be selected alternately.

For example, in a snowy, icy environment with six military bases, each side sends three players to choose three bases to engage in combat, which continues until one side's base is destroyed first.

The selection of bases requires each side to provide six options, and then the organizer will select three bases with a high degree of overlap. Both sides will then use the same bases to compete.

Therefore, participants need to be familiar with each map and the weapons at each base.

The two were indeed doing this, mainly to test the defensive capabilities of the rooster base.

Camille, however, chose the Dragon Kingdom base, which is widely recognized as having the strongest offensive power!

Adele, who was looking back and forth, looked at Henri with pity in her eyes.

This giant cannon is powerful, but it's not effective against air attacks!

Just when Henri thought he was ready, the battle had already begun.

To test the power of the French cannon, Camille still sent out infantry and tanks, which he considered to be top-tier in the game.

It's as powerful as the Grizzly Tank of the Bear Kingdom and the Prism Tank of the United States.

Just as they approached the outskirts of Henley's base, the French cannons began to roar.

The dense infantry collapsed instantly under the giant cannon, with each shell killing four to six infantrymen.

Even main battle tanks can't withstand a single shot.

In less than a minute, Camille's hard-won army was wiped out by the giant cannon, which made Henri very proud.

"Haha, see? This is it..."

Before Henri could finish his triumphant declaration, a cluster of small black dots suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Oh my god! What are you doing!"

The next moment, a swarm of white fighter jets flew over, and the base's anti-aircraft weapons were instantly activated. However, there were too many aircraft, and they were too durable. He had wasted too many resources and time on the French giant cannon, which led to a reduction in the anti-aircraft weapons.

With so many aircraft, these defense weapons are simply ineffective.

Explosions continued to occur, first the power plant was bombed, and the air defense weapons lost support.

Then the main base was bombed.

Then one by one, the giant cannons were destroyed.

And then came failure!
Bang!
"This is outrageous! It's so unfair!"

"Kami, how could you do this? You're cheating! You're cheating!"

Angli shouted angrily. He had worked hard for most of the day and was about to succeed when a group of planes bombed him to pieces. The contrast was too great. No wonder he was angry.

Camille responded with a cold laugh, "Honri, the planes are produced by my base, and I didn't say we couldn't use weapons."

"If anyone's to blame, it's you for neglecting to inspect the anti-aircraft weapons!"

Camille then stood up and said nonchalantly, "See? I told you long ago that the French cannon is the most useless thing, but you still insisted on trying it."

"Now you know you were wrong, right?"

Angli snorted and sat down in front of the computer again.

They only have four hours of usage time. If they exceed four hours, no amount of money will help, because the time will be allocated to other players.

"Damn it, this is a French cannon."

"How could they set it up like that? It shows no respect for the feelings of the French people!"

"I protest! The cannon's power must be increased, and its defensive capabilities must be strengthened..."

"Alright, this time I'll use the Dragon Kingdom base, and you can use the France base!"

Seeing Adele and Camille's disdainful looks, Henri quickly changed his tune.

Upon hearing this, Camille pouted, "No way, I want John Bull!"

Henri was speechless upon hearing this.

John Bull's snipers are disgusting!
But when the game restarts, he has no choice.

"This time, I'm getting a whole bunch of airplanes too..."

Hong Kong.

At Ederson Academy, Matsushita Momotaro looked at the weeping Yamada Akira with anger on his face.

"idiot!"

"Shut up, stop crying."

Annoyed by Yamada Akira's crying, Matsushita Momotaro roared angrily, ignoring the other's red eyes.

When Yamada Akira heard the voice, he was startled at first, but when he saw that it was Matsushita Momotaro, he ignored it and continued to cry with his head down, secretly grieving.

He was also wronged.

It was just singing a song during the school's Christmas celebration.

He just took the opportunity to get close to Helen.
Those shameless people, jealous of his talent and looks, actually bullied him while he was in the toilet, making him look disgusting in front of the whole school. How could he face anyone after that?

How will his career develop in the future?

How is he supposed to live like this?

Akira Yamada felt that his future was bleak.

But Matsushita Momotaro felt that something was wrong.

The performance was over a week ago, and New Year's Day is over. Even if you're looking for trouble, now is not the time.
If I wanted to look for it, I would have done so already.

And it's not just Akira Yamada; recently, the way people at school look at them has changed.

It became somewhat contemptuous.

Yes, those people's eyes were full of contempt.

If it were the British, they wouldn't think much of it.

After all, it was no secret that the other party was superior to them; they had already gotten used to it.

But when did those Hong Kong locals start looking down on them?
what is this?
Just as Matsushita Momotaro was puzzled, Haruko rushed over. Judging from the frequency of her trembling, she must have been in a great hurry.

"Matsushita-kun, something's happened."

Haruko arrived and, without taking a break, reached out to stop the shaking and immediately said, "I heard from Robert that in the Red Alert game they're playing, the last island-capturing landing map is our Japanese island."

"They even said this map is the simplest."

"They even said that we're called Japan, yes, that's the name in the game."

"They also said that our base has no special combat capabilities, and has no other advantage except for its large number of people. They also said that ten coins can produce one soldier, but a hundred soldiers can't defeat one soldier."

After Haruko finished speaking, Matsushita Momotaro immediately understood why they had been looking at them strangely these past few days.

"This is slander, this is defamation, this is serious disrespect, this is utter disrespect for our empire."

"I want to tell the people back home that I want them to stop this ugly and despicable game."

"I'm going to the school to ban students from playing this kind of immoral game."

Enraged, Matsushita Momotaro lost his temper and went straight to the school principal.

Haruko and Akira Yamada, standing behind them, were stunned and at a loss for what to do.

Then, when school was over, the group of people had just crossed the street when they bumped into a group of students.

The next moment, screams rang out in the street.
