The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

The three-day trial used the heads of the enemies to prove once again the invincibility of the Volunteer Army. On the day when the Shenyang trial ended, the Japanese army in Japan began to attack Hokkaido like crazy.

The Volunteer Army has expressed its attitude towards the Japanese Empire through its actual actions, so the Volunteer Army in Hokkaido must be eliminated, otherwise it will be a security threat hanging over Japan's neck. Moreover, Japan also needs this victory to break the myth of the Volunteer Army's invincibility.

Anyway, there are only a few thousand local volunteer troops, so there is no need to worry at all.

This is Japan's mainland. The local people will definitely welcome the royal army with food and drink, and thank the Japanese Empire for liberating them from the cruel rule of the volunteer army.

Well, it must be, the Empire of Japan, onboard!

Chapter 120: Players’ Blind Spots

(First update today, good morning everyone! I've seen many readers wanting to join the player team. So, from now on, we'll select players from the barrage of new chapters in this book. Everyone is welcome to sign up and help build a new world?(^?^*))

On August 22, 1939, people did not know that the real World War II was about to begin, marked by the disappearance of a country that often appeared vaguely on the map of Europe.

The Japanese army began to send reinforcements to Hokkaido, but was immediately subjected to a full-scale bombing of the homeland by the Volunteer Army.

However, under Liu Qi's mission guidance, the Volunteer Army's main bombing targets were Japanese troops around Hokkaido that could threaten the Hokkaido Volunteer Army, and they ignored other places, forming a wonderful strategic balance point.

If the Japanese army wants to attack, it must continue to invest resources, but the problem is that the issue of whether to stay in the Korean Peninsula is bothering the Japanese government.

The young Japanese who had lost in the Northeast regarded Korea as the new Northeast and wanted to defend it at all costs. This made Hirohito very angry and he was planning to get rid of these disobedient guys.

Because Japan will then focus on moving south and continuing its imperial destiny by seizing colonies from the great powers.

This is also the only "way out" Liu Qi left for them, which looks like a dead end.

"Go, go south and wipe out all the national and colonial armed forces there."

Liu Qi knew very well what the Japanese would do. They would follow the simple principle of "leaving land but not people" and launch large-scale massacres and looting throughout Southeast Asia.

Historically, the Japanese military implemented "labor mobilization" in Indonesia, forcing approximately 4 million people into forced labor, over 20 percent of whom died from starvation and disease. The forced confiscation of over 80 percent of Vietnam's rice to supply the army led to a famine in North Vietnam, killing approximately 2 million people—10 percent of Vietnam's total population at the time. Overall, the number of unnatural deaths in Southeast Asia during the Japanese occupation is estimated to be between 3 and 5 million.

Please note that this is only an estimate, and the actual situation will only be more serious. Many massacres were carried out in secret, and those massacres that handled the bodies properly could not find any bodies as evidence. In addition, the climatic conditions in Southeast Asia can easily corrode the bodies, and in the end nothing will be left.

At that time, the population of the entire Southeast Asia was 1.3 million. After the damage caused by the Japanese, it would be no problem to remove the remaining population. Now that Japan has lost the Northeast, the largest resource producing area, their plunder of Southeast Asia will only become more serious.

"Although China is unified, the entire world is actually a vast Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. If humanity wants to achieve unification on Earth, it must be mindful of 'the remaining energy of six generations' and gradually integrate various regions. Alternatively, after a country has achieved a higher level of civilization, it can launch a comprehensive and crushing war of unification."

As a dimensional pioneer, Liu Qi has seen too many Earth-like parallel worlds, and the civilizations in them have made various choices, but without exception, they all want to achieve the true unification of human civilization.

There is no gentleness in this process. The bloodless unification is a preview of division. The only difference is how long it takes.

Northeast Liberated Area, Shenyang

Now the most prosperous place in the entire Northeast is Shenyang.

Well, what about Dalian?

Of course, it is also very prosperous, but the problem is that the coastal areas of Dalian are easily harassed by the Japanese fleet. The players' Liaoning aircraft carrier has just started sea trials, and the subsequent supporting ships are all small shield guards with a weight of about 100 tons, and there are even speedboats. You can't expect such a sampan fleet to expedition to Japan.

Moreover, Shenyang's industry has always been very prosperous and was developed by the Japanese invaders. In addition, it is the southernmost of the major cities in Northeast China except Dalian. It has a complete heavy industrial system and concentrated military and machinery manufacturing industries. Therefore, after discussion among the players, the Volunteer Army finally chose to start the Northeast's industrial construction in Shenyang, gradually making this industry the world's number one.

Just look at the history of the Soviet Union and you will know that if there is no industrial development at the latitude of Northeast China, the future development prospects of the region will be very slim. In addition, with a good foundation, sufficient resources, recovered territory and the new Soviet Union as a strategic buffer, the original geographical disadvantages of Northeast China have been completely compensated. The biggest change is that Jilin and Heilongjiang now have their own seaports.

Okay ヾ(??▽?)ノ.

But the problem is that at that latitude, the ports built will definitely be troubled by floating ice, so the ports in these two provinces can only be used as seasonal ports. Anyway, China's future Pacific Fleet home ports will definitely be located in Dalian and Weihai, and Vladivostok will also be visited by floating ice.

In general, the Northeast is getting better little by little, but under the overall situation, everyone's life is full of ups and downs.

In August 1939, people starved to death in Shenyang, Northeast China.

This would have been a very normal thing in the past; moreover, after the volunteer army liberated Northeast China, only a little over a hundred people starved to death last year. This was a miracle and we must praise them.

But the Shovel Killer Demon in charge of the task immediately realized that something was wrong.

After the volunteer army entered the city, a welfare home system was established for the widowed, widowed and lonely people. Orphans and the elderly who had lost their loved ones were taken care of together. Those elderly people who could still live independently but did not want to go to a nursing home were registered and cared for by the community. If they were the families of martyrs, they would receive a lot of pensions. If they had difficulties in life, community workers would provide help. The system was perfect. If people starved to death in remote areas, it was a helpless situation that we were unable to cope with at this stage. But it was too ironic that people starved to death in Shenyang. There must be something fishy going on!

Check! Check thoroughly! Weigh them all!

Then the shovel killer Ren Mo claimed a million-level case. -p

Local officials colluded with community workers to embezzle pensions and subsidies, and many of them were never distributed to the parties involved. What's even more outrageous is that some welfare homes were converted into prison-like structures, and the elderly sent there were abused and forced to work. Some people even ran away and starved to death, which was reported in the news, attracting social attention.

This incident also exposed the problem of weak grassroots management of the Volunteer Army. After all, the number of players is limited, and it is impossible to accurately penetrate every corner of society. Even if the players want to, the human resources at hand do not allow them to do so.

The Red Party has been working hard on construction, but the liberated areas have a huge demand for management personnel, and players particularly like to be hands-off about minor details. The main energy of farming players is focused on the three major areas of industry, agriculture and scientific research, and naturally they ignore the work of grassroots management.

The reason why Shovel Killer Renmo could smell something was wrong was because he used to be a social worker and knew some shitty things. In addition, after becoming a player of "Waste Era", he had seen too many inhumane operations of the government, so he was very sensitive to similar things. This is how he found out the termite hiding behind the scenes.

There's nothing much to say, murder means death, debts must be repaid. This has resulted in loss of life, and corruption is rampant. The relevant person in charge directly experienced the same set-up as the last Tsar. The Red Party had no objections and even sent someone to apologize to the volunteers. At the same time, a serious rectification campaign was launched. However, this incident was like a dark cloud, hanging over the players' heads.

It's easy to eliminate enemies in front, but it's difficult to deal with corruption in the team.

Chapter 121: Animal World

(Second update! There's more coming. Can you give me your votes? Also, Qiye, your nickname is so charming. I saw you first when I was choosing the characters. And thanks to the reader Rosehip for the inspiration. She was the one who suggested this chapter.)

In 2025, the internal communication group of "War Era" players.

"Oh my god, how did this reactionary infiltrate our team?"

At an internal meeting, Dian Lao complained that he had just shot a group of reactionaries who had infiltrated the revolutionary ranks. These people used to be bandits in the Northeast. After the Volunteer Army liberated the Northeast, they took advantage of the opportunity that the household registration had not been fully implemented and got themselves a new identity. Then, they relied on the banner of the Volunteer Army to bully men and women in remote areas and got a position. The locals dared not speak out until the matter was exposed. In a rage, Dian Lao took the armored company to wipe out the whole family.

The scene at that time was quite exciting. The volunteers' rapid progress made the local people think that another war was about to break out, so they quickly bought out all the food in the nearby grain stores.

However, the panic did not last long. On the one hand, the volunteers provided more than enough food, and on the other hand, the crazy people acted too quickly. The relevant personnel were put in cages and paraded through the streets that afternoon, and the panic among the people quickly subsided.

Instead, some people who wanted to speculate suffered heavy losses. They really did not expect that the volunteer army was so efficient and had so much food reserves that they didn't care how much you bought.

As for where these grains came from, of course Liu Qi got them through quantitative easing for the United States in two worlds.

Anyway, they are all US dollars, absolutely authentic Daole. You can't say that this is not money. It is also a small-denomination, advanced payment method that can avoid taxes. The American people like it.

Although Roosevelt's New Deal seemed to have helped the United States recover, in fact, it was World War II that really helped the United States recover. Now World War II is just on the verge of breaking out (it has also reached a critical point), so the massive amount of goods in the United States still have no outlet. Now Liu Qi is waving money to let the capitalists take a breath, which naturally everyone loves.

Besides, Liu Qi only asked them to transport the grain to a nearby fixed warehouse. As for how it was transported, it was none of their business.

After Dian Lao finished complaining, Yue Cheng also said, "It's not hard to understand. This is what happens when a team expands too quickly."

New recruit: "Our team isn't expanding very fast, and the rules are very strict."

He Hegen: "That's because our army is strict in its controls. It's impossible for all government administrative posts to be that strict."

Student Xiao Te: "Even though we know corruption is fatal, we still want to be greedy. This is human desire."

I am not Wang Wu: "We must establish a strong supervision mechanism."

Washing Machine: "It would be great if our gaming system could directly label corrupt officials."

Meridian: "The system does everything for us, so why should the players do anything?"

Geng Wu: "Sister Chen is right."

Brother K: "It's really troublesome. Can't you just be simple and direct? Show us the evidence, execute him on the spot, and perform the 888 sacrifice."

Sergeant Gouty: "If only we had proton surveillance too."

Ivan: "Maybe there really is a big boss behind this. Haven't you noticed? As long as we find someone with a problem, supporting evidence will soon come out to support it. If there is no such level of surveillance, I don't believe it."

Liu Qi: "Put your heads together and think of ways to use some game features and then give us your suggestions."

04A: "Can the official modify the game according to our needs?"

Shovel Killing Ren Demon: "Suggestions are suggestions, whether to change them or not is another matter."

Rosehip: "Since you can give advice, why don't we recruit a group of special agents? They can act as animals and insects in the game to collect intelligence and earn points based on the information they gather."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire group fell silent, and it was only after a while that someone asked.

Imperial Pact: "So, spy bees, spy cats, spy dogs, spy dung beetles?"

Rocket: "Oh my god, this sounds interesting!"

I'm not Wang Wu: "Good idea, that sounds great, but how do we design the gameplay?"

Two steamed buns with meat patties: "Who cares? We give suggestions to the authorities, and it's up to them whether they adopt them or not."

Quotation Book: "Then we can write more specifically so that the authorities will be more willing to accept our suggestions."

Anna: "That looks really interesting. Can players transform?"

Quantum Girl: "Not bad, you become Anna and I become Chen Tianwu."

Fishing: "Watching the lilies (eating melons)."

Below is a bunch of densely packed pictures of "eating melons".

Although the discussion went off topic, after discussing topics such as "V50 today", "The US military suffered a setback in the Red Sea", and "I will never drink Gu Ming again because of my disappointment with Mixue Bingcheng", the discussion miraculously returned to the topic of players playing the role of animals and plants in nature.

"That's a good idea. Let's develop a separate auxiliary series."

Liu Qi also thought that the players' creativity was very interesting, so he decisively adopted it and developed "Animal World" under "Wuhuo Era".

According to the game settings of "Animal World", players can play the role of various animals and plants. Well, plants are also allowed, but because of the characteristics of animals and plants, the mobility of plants is very low, and the role-playing of animals and plants can only be carried out in the liberated areas of the fictional world.

Players who play the role of animals and plants are not completely helpless. They can earn points by collecting various interesting anecdotes.

As long as the points are high, they can be exchanged for cash. And through the behavior of these players, Liu Qi can also select reserve players with firm beliefs and give them invitation codes to the Beacon Era in the future, allowing them to join the revolutionary team of players.

I feel like this game isn't very playable, and the money earned isn't that much. Will it have many players?

"Of course there are, and a lot of them."

Liu Qi knew very well that as long as the game had a fixed channel to make money, Chinese players would make the manufacturers feel what it meant to crush them.

Although compared with real contract players, the players who play animals and plants in "Animal World" have a guaranteed monthly income of less than 2,000 yuan, and if they work hard, they can only reach the standard of 5,000 yuan, but you have to know that there are many disabled people in China, including more than one million patients with high paraplegia. These people have no expectations for their lives, and the only thing many people think about is suicide. Those who can be awakened and recovered by love and hope are only a very small number of them.

With the development of science and technology, such problems are being solved quickly, but it still takes time. Even if a method is found, it cannot be rolled out in a short period of time due to cost issues.

And now, a game that can take them to a new world and experience their new bodies, do you think they will refuse it?

Although they are not human beings, after wearing the simulator, they will no longer be restricted to beds and rooms, but can move freely and even fly. Not to mention the disabled, even healthy people want to try it.

Moreover, they can make money. If these disabled people can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, it will greatly improve their lives, and even completely change their family status and live with more dignity.

Of course, it is also possible that when people next door are arguing, someone will say, "You're worse than the disabled guy next door."

This is hope, this is a good thing that will benefit all people!

In this case, let’s do it, deliver targeted advertising, accurately identify the target group, and let them regain their dignity in the virtual world.

Liu Qi is a man of action. In just one day, he found nearly one million targets through the ship-borne AI's full Internet big data scan. After preliminary screening, head-mounted consciousness uploading devices began to be distributed.

Hongdi used to be an armed police officer. He was tall and handsome, but in a fight with drug dealers, he blocked a fatal bullet for his comrade. Although he was rescued after being shot three times, he was paralyzed from the waist down and could not recover. Although the country gave the best treatment and subsidies to heroes, he lost his ability to move and all he thought about every day was death.

If I die, I won’t burden my parents with taking care of me, and I will be free.

This mentality is almost the first thought of all patients with high paraplegia. If the soul is trapped in the cage of the flesh, then death is the liberation to freedom.

He tried fasting and also hoped to electrocute himself by sticking his tongue into an electrical source using his limited head movement.

But amid his parents' pleas and tears, he finally chose to live.

Since he survived, he had to find something to do. As a high-level paraplegic, he could only move the part above the neck, so he thought of playing games, playing games with his mouth, and there were special joysticks for that.

Through the game screen, Hongdi's world becomes rich and colorful. Hongdi is his game nickname. It has no other meaning. It is just a nickname he typed out randomly and kept it because he thought it was good.

Today is a good day because Hongdi received a special gift.

"Mind uploading, virtual reality, real or fake?"

Hongdi knew that there were virtual reality games on the market, but many of them were fake. The actual experience was so dizzying that it was easy to vomit up leftover food.

If a patient with high spinal cord injury like me vomits, it would be difficult to deal with, so I didn't touch him.

But this time, the equipment they sent specially looked very advanced, so Hongdi decided to give this "Animal World" a try, hoping that it wouldn't make him vomit all over.

Lincoln is dead! -p

When he opened his eyes again, Hongdi saw a gaming world that was so realistic that it was hard to tell the difference between real and fake. If he hadn't been able to open the operating interface and there was an exit button, he would have suspected that he had been possessed by the system after traveling through time.

“I… can move now!?”

Hongdi was pleasantly surprised to find that he could move and that he had a body, but his line of sight was so low, what was going on?

In front of a pond, Hongdi saw his current appearance, a tabby cat.

"Animal World" is just like the name suggests. It's a game about playing animals. But for Hongdi, he doesn't care what role he plays. What matters is that he can move. His body can move! He is no longer a corpse lying in bed waiting to decay. He can move! He can move! He can move!

Only those who have lost their freedom know how precious it is. Hongdi, who has become a tabby cat, doesn't care at all about playing the role of a cat. He only knows that he can move, jump up and down, and climb walls.

This feeling is so cool!
