Player Sachs the Leopard, Hannibal, is on a mission.
Their current status is that of residents of the Russian Far East. Even during the Soviet era, household registration management here was relatively lax. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, border management here collapsed even more drastically. Forget about smuggling; the Russian soldiers on the other side were all involved in smuggling and illegal activities. Those who still had any thoughts of the country and the nation were secretly eliminated.
The harsh reality is that in Russia today, good people have a hard time surviving, while those who are extremely wealthy are mostly lazy.
This is a perfect example of how a person can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night grazing.
"A bottle of Red Star Erguotou will do the trick, it's really cheap for border guards."
Just now, Hannibal used a bottle of wine to perform an eye surgery on a Russian soldier on the border, temporarily, as if they didn't exist. As for what the two did after crossing the border, the Russian army doesn't care at the moment.
"It's rotten to the core," said the Leopard with a sneer.
I used to only know from history books how bad post-Soviet Russia was, but now I realize that was too conservative.
Judging from the performance of those Russian soldiers just now, they would definitely dare to sell nuclear warheads if they were paid enough.
However, Russia is not the only country eyeing the entire Soviet nuclear arsenal; other countries are also watching. After all, those are devastating nuclear bombs. Even if only the nuclear material inside is lost, it could turn into a terrible dirty bomb and be used for terrorist attacks. No country wants to face such a terrifying thing. Therefore, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are quite united on the issue of nuclear weapons.
I may not use it, but I must ensure that others dare not use it indiscriminately.
Ironically, the power that the Soviet Union was most proud of, capable of destroying the world, now needs foreign countries to help Russia supervise it, and even needs to be dismantled under their supervision. It's truly speechless.
Where do we go next?
"Vladivostok, it's time for the people here to remember their nationality."
Hannibal, upon hearing this, quickly said, "Hey buddy, don't mess around. This mission involves quite a few Russian players, and the top leaders of both China and the Soviet Union hope that the Sino-Soviet integration process that took place in our hometown can be repeated here, instead of creating some kind of imperial Russia or imperial Han. We're all 21st century people, don't use 20th-century nationalist narratives."
"Look how nervous you are. Don't worry, I was just saying. If China and the Soviet Union really integrate, we will immediately expand our territory by 17 million square kilometers and make up for each other's shortcomings. In the future, the Russian ethnic group will be a member of our big Chinese family."
"Our country has always had ethnic Russians."
"There were only a few people. This time, we must turn the Russian girls into our internal resources."
At the same time, at least five figures of players began infiltrating various former Soviet republics, the simplest of which were the Central Asian countries. The chaos there had reached the point of a complete regression in the system, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it had turned from a modern society into a tribal society under modern technology. Even the backward custom of kidnapping brides, which used to result in being shot by the father with a machine gun, has been brought back by the locals, which shows how chaotic the situation had become.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many people focused their attention on Russia and Ukraine. Compared to these two former Soviet giants and little sisters, other countries were simply insignificant, since they didn't even have a complete military-industrial complex, let alone nuclear weapons.
To put it bluntly, even if you gave them nuclear weapons, they wouldn't dare to take them.
As for the former Soviet republics, they would gladly accept anything that brought order and wealth to the locals, even if it meant Satan himself were to come and be crowned.
However, before fully taking over the five Central Asian countries, players need to carry out a thorough purge, a purge no less severe than that of the Stalin era. The local order has deteriorated to a level far worse than players imagined. Robbery is no longer even newsworthy. The military has been involved, and the stability of the entire country is plummeting.
While it may seem cruel, it must be admitted that Paradox Interactive's approach to handling incidents is sometimes worth learning from.
The players who arrived in the five Central Asian countries quickly used themselves as teleportation points to summon more players, and then directly plundered the local armories.
Without a doubt, the players' combat power is absolutely sufficient now. However, the veterans of the former Soviet Union are not bad either, but their current government doesn't pay them. Since that's the case, why risk their lives? If they die, their whole family will be left without security. Let's run away.
The poor performance of the armies of the five Central Asian countries resulted in players quickly organizing well-equipped armed forces and declaring war on the new government.
We players must establish this new Soviet Union today!
Section 12: PLA Stationed in Japan
World No. 8: The People's Liberation Army has arrived in Tokyo, Japan, and is stationed there.
You ask for the basis? The Potsdam Declaration is the basis, so why don't you little devils want to accept that?
Looking at the three-carrier strike group in the distance, consisting of 300,000-ton aircraft carriers, would you choose to participate voluntarily or involuntarily?
Of course, the little guy was unwilling, but looking at the rabbit's precious treasure, and the Dongfeng missile that recently crossed the United States and bombed the Pacific Ocean without alerting any anti-missile system, the little guy chose to kneel and die between death and kneeling.
America is my godfather, and Xinhua is my biological father! Father, you've finally come back! Your child has been waiting for you for so long!
Well, the total tonnage of Xinhua's warships has now soared to over eight million tons. The eighteen 300,000-ton aircraft carriers alone have a displacement of 5.4 million tons. Other destroyers look like delicate toys in front of these behemoths.
But those were carrier battle groups composed of destroyers and frigates with an average tonnage of over 5,000 tons. In the eyes of the US and Japan, what the hell are destroyers? They're cruisers, okay? Your destroyers are so big, nuclear-powered, and can travel all over the world. Are we building motorized bathtubs?!
Since the PLA is to be stationed in Japan, it must demonstrate the spirit of our People's Army. Under Qin Shan's instructions and with the help of the players, the PLA's comprehensive equipment replacement work officially began, which is also a second reorganization of the PLA.
There's no other way. The previous military-run businesses were just too damaging. Many of the interest chains were huge and complex, and it was unrealistic to expect to unravel them one by one. So let's just cut the Gordian knot and take down all the problematic ones first. The vacant positions will be temporarily filled by the parachuted players. Don't worry about the players' lack of strength. Even the constructs remotely controlled by ordinary players are at the initial level of Tier 1 Transcendent. Putting them in the army, lifting a Type 59 tank is no problem.
With this level of combat prowess, a little performance would be enough to impress the proud and fierce soldiers in the army. After all, the army is a place that admires the strong, and there are many definitions of the strong. The simplest one is someone who is broad-shouldered, thick-waisted, and strong enough to lift a cauldron.
This is just the basic setup for players; professional military players can handle the command aspect.
Having players in charge of the PLA's second reorganization also has its advantages: they are at least participants in the information age's combat model, making subsequent military reforms much easier, while also sending a terrifying signal to all forces.
The Central Committee has a second People's Liberation Army!
No, no, no, to be precise, it's "If you won't follow me, I'll go find the Red Army."
Qin Shan was intentionally or unintentionally conducting this propaganda to make some of the already bureaucratized PLA generals understand that there really is still a Red Army in the country, and that this Red Army has now come down from the mountains. They are stronger, more technologically advanced, and possess the organizational structures that you previously had but are now not implementing well.
They had to either accept the reforms or be subjected to a second revolution by the Red Army; the choice was theirs.
After the elderly man admitted to this, a major upheaval occurred in the bureaucratic system at the provincial governor level and above throughout the country.
It's confirmed, absolutely confirmed. The old man wasn't pretending to turn left while turning right; he genuinely followed the instructor's left turn. Everything before was an act, a deception! The instructor had planned everything with foresight, just waiting to close the net today. This was a trap from the beginning, a trap targeting all the reactionaries left over from those ten years.
The new purge has already begun, and we're already on the list!
Many people were filled with fear and anxiety, and some began to struggle desperately, but it was no use. Even though they were in the border regions and had considerable influence in the local area, they were still easily taken down by the rapid reaction force composed of players.
"Let me go! I've rendered service to the country! I fought in Korea! I've even met my instructors! I want to personally go to the central government to explain!"
"Shut up. We're not being rough with you because of your past sacrifices and contributions. Don't make things awkward for everyone, okay?"
This scene took place in a production and construction corps in the border region. Due to various reasons, once the problems in the border areas erupt in a concentrated manner, they will quickly develop in a hopeless direction. Therefore, the anti-corruption work carried out here is simply like demolition. Once a large area is demolished, a blast below will leave no one behind.
That's why we say anti-corruption work needs to reach deep into the grassroots. Because if those bureaucrats want to enjoy themselves, they can't possibly do everything for them without anyone doing things for them. As long as they do, there will be clues left behind, which will then become jingles made up by the local people. Those with a sense of justice might even conduct a special investigation. However, the consequences after the investigation, and what will happen to the righteous people afterward, are unpredictable.
Qin Shan's solution was that once the case was closed, the official's entire bureaucracy would be purged, or at least crippled. Other officials from other regions would be transferred to local positions, including police officers; all such officials would be reassigned every five years to prevent the formation of local networks. Simultaneously, the official's immediate family members would be relocated. For the bureaucratic system, once the person leaves, the tea cools. Once the official's core power disappears, those who reported them will naturally be safe. Without the protection of bureaucrats, local organized crime will naturally cease to exist.
Constant adjustments, frequent reversals, and occasional surprises – this is dynamic anti-corruption.
The results were excellent. In just over a year, the bureaucratic system in the country was thrown into chaos and officials were living in misery.
Initially, many people committed suicide, after all, to protect those above and make a sacred separation. But later it was found to be useless. Heaven knows how the inspection teams investigated; they always managed to find crucial evidence. Moreover, once someone committed a crime, if one person in the opposing management system did so, everyone else who committed the crime would be punished more severely, on the grounds of disloyalty to the Party and the people. The fact that they weren't charged with treason was already a sign that Qinshan was resolving the issue as an internal conflict.
You bureaucrats shouldn't be so ungrateful. History has proven that if internal contradictions cannot be resolved, then the future will inevitably see a total outbreak in the form of class contradictions, and then there will be a complete restart. Nobody knows how many Huang Chaos will emerge.
The fact that there are no thousand-year-old families in China has already proven the consequences of being inhumane; try it and you'll die.
However, these jobs are all aimed at the upper and middle levels of the bureaucracy and the military, with little impact on the grassroots. Unless someone is extremely heinous and breaks the law, then don't blame the law for being merciless; they'll be rewarded with 7.62 peanuts per peanut, paid for out of their own pocket.
For the grassroots commanders and soldiers, the new commanders became more approachable and at the same time had explosive combat power. The new instructors, political instructors and political commissars also became more reasonable than before, and were equally combat-effective bodyguards. I personally tested that they could hold the trigger of the Type 81 rifle and not let go, and all the bullets hit the bullseye. It was simply outrageous, ridiculously outrageous.
As players gradually arrive, new weapons are being widely adopted and upgraded.
While the Type 81 rifle is a classic, we have better precision rifles available. Its modular design allows for the addition of many previously unseen auxiliary accessories, even those not used by the US military. The new complete set of individual soldier equipment for the People's Liberation Army is truly full-on gear. The flexible exoskeleton, once worn, allows for the incredible strength to kill a bull with a single punch, leaving PLA commanders and soldiers astounded. It's understandable that veterans can achieve this, given the varying physical capabilities of individuals, but for a newly enlisted recruit to do the same is truly astonishing!
Especially when fully armed, their appearance is just like that of a sergeant major. They can carry two-ton loads and push ten-ton loads with ease, which is truly astonishing and makes the PLA officers and soldiers look on with great admiration.
If individual soldier equipment is this amazing, then heavy equipment must be flying!
Great! What the hell is the US? From today onwards, the US will have to kneel down and speak to us.
The story of the Type 59 tank's continuous modifications is coming to an end ahead of schedule. The latest Liberator tank has begun to be equipped by the troops. It uses the latest twin-mounted 155mm tank gun. Through advanced energy buffering technology, the recoil can be reduced to the level of a 20mm autocannon firing. So even if it is arranged in the shape of the Apocalypse Tank, there is no need to worry about the huge recoil tilting outwards from the center after firing, causing a large deflection force on one side of the turret.
The advanced built-in electronic equipment not only allows it to ignore MP impacts, but also greatly reduces the problem of large space occupation by mechanical structures. It can be said that the reliability of the Liberator tank's electronic equipment can rival that of its mechanical structure.
This is just the tank gun technology, not to mention the top road speed of 90 kilometers per hour and the speed of 70 kilometers per hour in off-road conditions. If it uses a suspended all-terrain chassis, you could say it flies very low.
In terms of defense, it is even more incredible. To put it this way, even if a heavy bomb dropped by an airplane, it can at most overturn the Liberator tank, but the personnel inside will only suffer collision injuries at most, and the tank can still be used after being pushed over.
Because it's a composite armor structure that combines physical armor with energy recharge, once activated, tanks from other countries can only face despair.
These new tanks will completely replace the Type 59 tank and other tanks under development, as well as new tanks already in service.
Furthermore, it can be used from north to south because the Liberator tank weighs only 27 tons when fully equipped. It is a simplified version that can be reduced to less than 20 tons and can even be equipped with rubber tires for mobility.
The BT tanks expressed their deep affection for such a younger generation.
With the tanks replaced, the armored vehicles naturally had to be replaced as well, including wheeled armored vehicles of various wheel types. They all used the Liberation Army chassis, which was highly versatile. With slight modifications, they could even be used as tractors in civilian applications.
The first batch of troops to be re-equipped will receive a sacred mission: to become the People's Liberation Army stationed in Japan.
When the news spread, the entire unit was in an uproar.
Chapter 13: Holy crap, the Great Sage of Balance!
A netizen on a Simplified Chinese website once complained: "It's because the victorious Xinhua didn't thoroughly humiliate Japan that so many messes have occurred in East Asia. We need to reflect on this!"
The saying "Barbarians fear power but do not cherish virtue" is very true.
In fact, when the Japanese Communist Party suggested that we liberate Japan, their suggestion was to thoroughly purge the entire country. This shocked our people at the time. How could the Japanese Communist Party comrades be so radical?
But history's boomerang tells us that those who understand the Japanese best are indeed the Japanese themselves. The Japanese Communist Party back then knew all too well what kind of people Japan was. In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. The eradication of militaristic ideology cannot rely solely on propaganda and education; there are also bayonets and death. People are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm. When the Japanese realized that choosing militarism would lead to national subjugation and annihilation, the remaining Japanese people naturally learned to cherish peace and shout for love and justice.
Looking at the left-wing movements in Japan after World War II proves that there were still Japanese among the Japanese. But the problem is that the US and the Japanese are birds of a feather. It is unrealistic to expect the US to reform Japan. To get the Japanese to admit that they are Japanese, you have to station troops and disarm them.
Therefore, according to the Potsdam Declaration, it is time for the People's Liberation Army to uphold justice.
"Commander, please give our regiment this chance, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I get back."
"If you can't explain yourself, do you want me to give you an explanation?"
"No, Commander, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? Isn't this a coup? The central government has its own considerations. Go back and wait for orders!"
"Yes"
After the news of the People's Liberation Army's plan to station troops in Japan spread, Xinhua, which had just celebrated the Spring Festival, was once again abuzz with excitement. Not only the PLA, but the entire civilian population was also in an uproar. If it were said that civilian volunteers would be sent to Japan now, there would be plenty of people willing to bring their own food and go to Japan, even if it was just a short trip, it would be a great honor for their ancestors.
Who told the Japanese to compete with Chiang Kai-shek in such a madman back then? When they were publicly tried in Taiwan, many of the people there were from Henan or were locals from Henan. These were people who had enjoyed the "blessings" of the National Revolutionary Army back then, and their descendants.
The Yellow River's waters come from the sky and flow into the homes of ordinary people.
You can imagine how deep the Henan people's "love" for Lao Jiang is—it's the kind that sinks to the very core of the earth.
The trial results at the time were quite satisfactory to the people. All the party members in Taiwan who were related to Taiwan independence were put on public trial. After the trial, they were sent to the provinces most severely damaged by the Kuomintang during the Liberation War. After they were tied up, they were thrown in front of the people in the street. Whether they lived or died was decided by the people.
The kind and simple people quickly invented methods of dealing with the enemy, such as being dragged to death by a jeep, having their chest crushed by a large stone, or being cut into pieces by a tetanus knife. These methods combined ancient command techniques with modern technology, fully demonstrating the people's simple feelings towards the class enemy. This was a great victory for the liberation of the Chinese nation.
This greatly shocked officials at all levels, because from then on, corruption trials would be conducted in public, and those sentenced to death would be thrown off the stage and left to the people to handle—anything to get rid of them was fine.
In such situations, many skilled individuals are willing to personally demonstrate their ancestors' techniques. It doesn't matter if they're not skilled; with practice, they can regain their touch and even innovate. In the future, when various platforms start live streaming, live-streaming executions would be a very effective method to fully deter class enemies. Nothing makes the people realize that they are the masters of the country more than scrutinizing a few corrupt officials every day. Power must be used under supervision, and those who abuse power must be punished. People's trials and people's executions are both indispensable. Only a knife held to the neck of those in power has the greatest deterrent effect.
The more the government does this, the more people are willing to believe in and support it. As for the corrupt officials who are eliminated, they are class enemies, they deserve to die, and they are not public servants at all.
Through a bloody and precise purge, the new government led by Qin Shan and the players was able to rebuild public trust in the government without wrongly accusing anyone. With this trust, the people were very willing to support any action of the government because the government truly spoke up for them and did things for them.
Not to mention the honor of being stationed in Japan during that era. To put it bluntly, if the People's Liberation Army had disarmed Japan and allowed civilian groups to freely seek revenge in Japan, it wouldn't have been long before Japan's population fell below one million.
Americans are at most cowards who get their scalps peeled off; our traditional culture involves building mounds of skulls.
Because commanders and soldiers at all levels requested to be stationed in Japan, the Central Military Commission decided that the first batch of PLA troops stationed in Japan would be determined by a military skills competition across the entire army, and would be rotated every five years thereafter.
The first batch of PLA troops stationed in Japan consists of two regiments. As for the required funds, please transfer them to Xinhua's national account.
What, you don't want to?
They pulled out eighteen supercarrier battle groups.
Xiao Rizi's eyes instantly cleared up, indicating that she was very willing, voluntary, and absolutely voluntary!
Therefore, starting in 1994, Japan has been paying the PLA troops stationed in Japan at a rate of US$2 million per year, with the amount recalculated every five years to ensure the health, work, and life of the PLA officers and soldiers in Japan.
These are minor issues. For each unit, the upcoming all-army skills competition is the most important thing. Only the most outstanding PLA soldiers will be qualified to be among the first batch of PLA soldiers stationed in Japan.
I heard that the Central Military Commission specially commissioned a batch of medals to commemorate the first batch of PLA soldiers stationed in Japan. The medals are called the "Sunset Medal".
The meaning is very clear: the People's Liberation Army has passed through, and you're all stuck on the ground. What kind of "land of the rising sun" and "emperor's country" are you? You've overstepped your bounds, don't you understand?
They have medals, honors, and excellent benefits. They receive both spiritual and material rewards. The PLA officers and soldiers are all young and strong men. Do you think they are holding their breath and ready to fight?
Just as the all-army skills competition was about to begin, a small incident occurred in Shandong.
It was indeed a minor incident, just a fire in the finance office, nothing serious, and fortunately there were no casualties.
Local officials also breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to get a good night's sleep, hehehe.
The next day, the President issued an order: the People's Liberation Army troops, composed of players, marched directly into Shandong to arrest people, from the provincial governor to the village chief, leaving no one untouched. They were all arrested and interrogated separately. At the same time, a comprehensive evidence collection campaign was launched in Shandong Province. Anyone who dared to obstruct the process would be charged with treason.
You like burning down granaries, huh? Fine, then the central government will set an example for them. Whenever this happens, the entire region and province will be wiped out. Any official found to have problems will have their family members sent to plant trees in the Northwest, except for those who are executed. If the whole family is involved, that would be even better—they'll all go together.
Since they like to balance accounts, they must be prepared to have their entire families wiped out. For such enlightened people, ruthless extermination is the greatest respect. Just look at how much respect the central government has for you now. The vacant positions will be given to the players; they have the motivation and patience to uncover the remaining problems and then meticulously treat these pests, ensuring a complete cure. The sweeping purge in Shandong province terrified officials in other provinces who wanted to cause trouble. They were forced to choose between voluntarily confessing and having their families planted trees, or being caught and having their household registrations cancelled. Soon, some couldn't withstand the pressure and surrendered.
You must turn yourself in, because suicide is useless. Suicide means you definitely have a problem. The central government will conduct an investigation, both overt and covert. If they find a problem, a large number of physical buildings will be destroyed. If they don't find a problem, they will conduct a covert investigation from other directions. Once you commit a crime, you can't escape it. The central investigation team has already proven this with its strength.
N-A-A
