162: Chapter 162 The Military's Fate

Wang Ye and his group were unaware that their actions had attracted the attention of factions within the game.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

Because they couldn't be stopped at all.

First, they didn't fear death; second, this mountain city was filled with their own people, so no situation could escape their control.

The mere fact that they couldn't die made them fearless.

If they were given infinite respawns, as long as they had enough bombs, they could even play as suicide infantry against the Little Devils.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case; their respawn meant respawning into another NPC's body.

If that were the case, they couldn't play like that.

Otherwise, they might win in the end, but there wouldn't be many people left.

As time passed, another half month went by.

In the mountain city, the rifle production plant where Li Qingfeng was located began its first trial production.

This production line had been modified by him.

The output had increased significantly compared to before.

Although it could only produce one type of rifle, it was enough for them now.

With just this one type of rifle, as long as they produced enough, they could arm an entire troop.

Besides that, as more players entered this server,

talent from all walks of life continued to emerge.

Although Wang Ye didn't understand technology, he could gather all these tech-savvy players together.

After all, their common goal was to initiate industrialization in this game world and then lead China to counterattack the Little Devils.

And fight all the way back to the Little Devils' homeland.

In addition to Li Qingfeng's rifle production line, other weapons were also being developed.

The most critical among them was artillery.

If China had heavy firepower comparable to the Little Devils, even without an air force, they wouldn't be fighting so arduously.

Even in modern times, the role of artillery is very significant.

It is even more impactful than tanks.

Even modern tanks rely on their artillery for output.

And missiles are just modern versions of artillery; they just have more power, longer range, and can hit targets precisely.

One hit can cause countless casualties.

Of course, in this game world, the conditions don't allow for that.

Being able to build artillery would be good enough.

After all, the devils weren't that far ahead of China.

It's just that the devils are at a level of 2, while China is at 0.

Although the devils only have a little bit, it's still better than China having nothing at all.

As long as they could build artillery, the gap between China and the devils could be significantly reduced.

Meanwhile, at the Eastern Military Region.

The military region had also noticed the actions of Wang Ye and his group.

After all, the popularity of their actions on the internet was immense.

It was impossible not to notice.

Most importantly, the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Military Region was quite interested in this.

Wang Ye and his group were working on technology, so the Chinese Soldiers from their military region could also enter the game to support them.

After all, a combination of intellect and martial prowess is a perfect match.

They knew how to develop technology, but they didn't know how to fight a war.

It just so happened that they also wanted to experience the feeling of counterattacking Japan in the game.

Previously, they could at most safely evacuate the citizens of Jinling City, but when it came to counterattacking the Little Devils, the weapons and equipment in the game simply didn't allow it.

There was no air defense, and no heavy weapons.

Even the weapons used by ordinary soldiers were inferior to those of the Little Devils.

If being inferior wasn't enough, ammunition was also limited.

Under such poor conditions, they could only rely on fighting with their lives.

Now, seeing that players wanted to initiate industrialization in the game.

And they had actually managed to produce a modern weapon.

Now they had even evacuated from Jinling and arrived at the rear.

Although they could have Zhou Yang customize things for them, they preferred the methods of players like Wang Ye over customization.

A gun built by oneself provides a greater sense of accomplishment than one that falls from the sky.

At this moment, in the military region's conference room, everyone was holding a meeting, the content of which was naturally about sending Chinese Soldiers into the game.

Not only that, but they also intended to enter in a high-profile manner.

They would publicly announce that the Eastern Military Region was joining this game to cooperate with the players.

And now, the meeting had progressed to deciding which general should enter the game.

"Which one of you present is willing to volunteer?" the Supreme Commander asked.

Immediately, the gazes of all the generals fell upon General Huang Wei.

Nothing else; General Huang Wei had the most experience with this game.

Seeing all the generals present looking at him, General Huang Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

To be honest, he really wanted to participate in this operation.

However, with these generals looking at him so unanimously, it made him a bit uncomfortable.

He hadn't exactly shown an eager expression, had he?

The key was that the Supreme Commander was also looking at him.

"Sir, I nominate myself," General Huang Wei said, raising his hand.

Subsequently, no one else volunteered.

Seeing this, General Huang Wei thought to himself, "I knew it would be like this."

Just like that, the Supreme Commander confirmed General Huang Wei as the leader for this mission.

As for the number of troops to lead, given that Japan had quite a few soldiers.

Therefore, the Supreme Commander waved his hand.

He allowed General Huang Wei to take 200,000 Chinese Soldiers into the game.

200,000 Chinese Soldiers was not a large number for the Eastern Military Region.

The Eastern Military Region had a standing army of 1.2 million.

A mere 200,000 was only one-sixth of that.

Subsequently, the Eastern Military Region posted about their "March into the Great World" on their official accounts across major video platforms.

This news instantly ignited the popularity of this operation.

Originally, this operation was just a spontaneous action by players.

Now that the military had stepped in, didn't that mean the military also supported this operation?

With the military's involvement, plus advanced weapons, wouldn't crushing the Little Devils be easy?

In the comment section of the Eastern Military Region's official video, the discussion among Netizens was very lively.

"Holy crap, the Eastern Military Region has stepped in; this is too exaggerated."

"Modern weapons plus a modern army; the end of the Little Devils is coming."

"If the weapons were just a bit more advanced, let alone the Little Devils, we could take on the whole world."

"Ahem, the person above is exaggerating too much. We just need to defeat the Little Devils."

"It's not exaggerated at all. The Chinese territory in this game is too small; how could our Chinese territory possibly be this small?"

"I read some history books in the game; a lot of territory was stolen by other countries. None of those Western countries are good. We should take back our own territory; it's the same in the game."

The comments on the video were very passionate.

The Netizens were impassioned, as if they had already seen the scene of the Chinese Soldiers from the Eastern Military Region beating up the Little Devils.

On the other side, Wang Ye, who was still in the game, noticed the barrage.

"Brother Wang, the military has stepped in; they've sent 200,000 Chinese Soldiers into the game."

"The Little Devils are finished. With our army, plus the weapons you guys made, Brother Wang, I don't believe we can't beat the Little Devils."

"Yeah, the Eastern Military Region even issued an official statement."

Seeing these barrages, Wang Ye was confused.

What exactly happened?

"Wait, brothers, can you repeat that? What happened?"

At this time, the barrages in the livestream room repeated it once more.

Only then did Wang Ye become convinced that he hadn't misread it.

The military had indeed stepped in.

Hearing this news, Wang Ye also became a bit excited.

This was something he hadn't expected at all.
