Chapter 118 The Changing Situation in Japan

"The new equipment is named - So close to the end of the world. "

"Confirm the naming of the new equipment. The special equipment is now available for use."

As the system prompts to complete, this small copycat version of the Kingdom of God that Taishang Laojun refined for me has finally entered the formal equipment sequence. Of course, this thing is a knockoff after all. Although it may not be worse than the real Kingdom of God in some aspects of performance, it is still far behind in terms of overall capabilities. But this is not a problem. All we need is that this thing can help us block the Yamata no Orochi. I don't expect anything else.

After handing over this small world, I said goodbye to Taishang Laojun and went to see the Jade Emperor. After informing the Jade Emperor about my preparations, the Jade Emperor told me about the recent preparations for the war in heaven. After communicating with each other, I left Heaven and returned to Isengard, but then I suddenly felt a little idle.

Originally, we suddenly discovered that Yamata no Orochi appeared with a divine power core, causing us to be in a hurry. After learning that Yamata no Orochi intended to counterattack Middle-earth, we were even more busy. We were afraid that Yamata no Orochi would suddenly come over with a large number of Japanese players before we were ready. Then it would really be a disaster. The problem is big trouble. During this period of time, I was running around pretending to be pitiful, even threatening and offering inducements, and kept pretending to be cute, in order to gather enough defense forces as soon as possible, and at least to ensure the safety of Isengard. After all, if Yamata no Orochi wants to counterattack Middle-earth, it will inevitably need to bring Japanese players with it. And once Japanese players participate, Essinger from our guild will definitely be the first target, so I was scared to death before, worried that Yamata no Orochi would kill me before I was ready.

But now I'm ready. The support that the various protoss can provide is basically in place, and we have prepared everything that should be prepared or can be prepared. At this time, the only thing left is Yamata no Orochi to rush over and start the war. However, until now, there is no news about Yamata no Orochi.

Judging from the previous situation. Yamata no Orochi is very impatient. Normally, as soon as he is ready, he should lead his people to kill him. However, I traveled a lot from Europe to Africa and traveled half the world. , it’s a bit strange that Yamata no Orochi is still in Japan.

The core of Yamata no Orochi's divine power was picked up. Although that thing is a complete core of divine power, it is unlikely that Yamato no Orochi can recruit any subordinates for a while. In other words, he is actually alone. As for the Japanese players. Even if players from all over Japan are organized to participate in the battle. It shouldn’t take that long, right? You must know that "Zero" is a game after all, and many of its settings are obviously much faster-paced than real-life situations. After such a long time, even the national mobilization in reality should be almost halfway completed. How could it be possible that there is no movement at all after such a long time in the game?

Because the situation was rather weird, I finally contacted Masamoto Matsumoto to inquire about the specific situation.

"President."

"What's going on over there now? Why has there been no news about Yamata no Orochi for so long?"

"Hey, we didn't have time to tell you about this." Masamoto Matsumoto explained: "We had an accident here."

"Accident?"

Masamoto Matsumoto nodded and said: "To be precise, there is a big situation, so Yamata no Orochi may not have time to find trouble with you in a short time."

"What's going on?"

"This is more complicated to say. Do you know the boss of Gao Tianyuan God Clan?"

"Of course. What's the matter?"

"Yama-no-Orochi was a member of the Takamagahara Protoss before, but now that Yamato-no-Orochi has the core of divine power, he wants to transform into a guild god. This is tantamount to weakening the power of the Takamagahara Protoss. In addition, Yamata-Norochi It's not just that he wants to transfer by himself. Before leaving, this guy also wants to recruit a few Gao Tianyuan Protoss from the Takamagahara Protoss to transfer with him. If Yamata no Orochi himself wants to change jobs. This Takamagahara protoss does not want to offend Yamata no Orochi. Maybe we just turn a blind eye, but now this guy not only wants to leave, but also wants to poach people. Of course the Gao Tianyuan Protoss will not do it."

"What happens after that? How to solve it?"

"The solution has not been successfully solved. Now the fight is in a mess. Even the players have been completely drawn into the war. I have been very busy these two days putting out fires everywhere. Otherwise, I would not have forgotten to tell them. You guys say something.”

I was also surprised when I heard Masamoto Matsumoto's explanation. I didn't expect that things would develop like this. "What's the specific situation on your side now? Do you need support from the headquarters?"

After hearing what I said, Masamoto Matsumoto said with a grimace: "Ziri, didn't you mean to make me sad?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I have already said that I have been very busy these days, but you still ask me if I want support. Doesn't it mean that I need support very much? But even if you want to support me, you must have a way to do so. Ah. Now it’s all internal struggles among Japanese players. It’s no big deal for me to intervene in my identity, but you can’t! Let’s not talk about our guild masters, but which one do you think is not a blockbuster in Japan? Wouldn't it be more chaotic if we failed to extinguish the fire but lit a new one, and in the end it was up to me to finish it off? Didn't you mean to torture me to death by saying this?"

"Sorry, I really didn't expect that much." I hesitated a little and said, "Then what are you mainly doing now? Are the Japanese players now clearly supporting the two protoss, and then fighting each other, or is it something else? "

"It's not like we have made it clear that we support a certain force. The current situation is quite chaotic. Let me tell you this. Except for Japanese players who are not involved in this matter at all, the rest are basically divided into three parts. One is the ghost Nobunaga and his gang. They are now trying their best to support Yamato-no-Orochi in pulling people out to work alone. The purpose is obviously to use this to build a good relationship with Yamato-no-Orochima. And then let Yamato-Orochi become their guild god. Although now In terms of player support, Onishou Nobunaga is completely suppressed by me, but as long as he can get the franchise rights of Yamato no Orochi, he will definitely attract a large number of players to his side. In other words, as long as he can successfully win over Yamato no Orochi, Onishou will Nobunaga still has a chance to make a comeback."

I nodded and said, "I understand this. So what's going on with the other two forces?"

"One of the other two parties is a mercenary-type player. This group of people actually has no opinion on the grudges between Yamata no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss, but because both sides are now offering high prices to hire players in order to compete for strength. team, so there is such a large group of mercenary players. The ownership of these people has always been unstable. As the prices offered by both sides continue to change, the identities of this group of people are also constantly changing. Today they are the subordinates of Yamato no Orochi , tomorrow they may be supporters of the Takamagahara Protoss. In short, they actually do not support any party, but they are the force with the largest proportion among all player categories, and their tendencies are extremely unstable. This is also the case this time One of the reasons why things are difficult to deal with.”

"If you classify it this way, is it possible that the third category is you spies?"

"Of course not." Masamoto Matsumoto congratulated: "If we are included, we would be the fourth type of people. The third type of people should actually be considered conservatives. Or they are called supporters of the Takamagahara Protoss. These people have rather strange views. They think that now Japan no longer has much war potential to fight China. Yamata no Orochi belongs to the radicals. They feel that if Yamata no Orochi is allowed to carry a stick and the original Takamagahara protoss becomes a guild protoss, some people will inevitably increase. The confidence of Japanese radicals. When the time comes, these people will do some more radical things, and in turn harm the whole of Japan. Therefore, the conservatives hope that the more moderate Takamagahara Protoss will continue to be in charge of divine power, and do not want Yamato no Orochi to do so. Guys came out and dragged Japan into the quagmire of war early."

"I now understand why the fighting continues." After pondering for a while, I said to Masamoto Matsumoto: "I won't talk to you about the situation there for the time being. The scope of this matter is a bit wide, and I still need to Consult with the think tanks in the guild."

"Okay, let me know when you have made a decision."

After cutting off Matsumoto Masa's connection, I quickly connected to the God of War. Then he asked him to summon the guild think tank to discuss the matter in detail.

"Such a thing actually happened?" After hearing what I relayed, the think tanks of the guild that had just gathered were also quite surprised.

The God of War explained to me: "Because the pressure from the attack of Yamata no Orochi is too great. So we have been preparing for the war with all our strength recently. It is normal that we did not expect such an accident to happen in Japan. What we need to do now is to deal with it as soon as possible. Make a plan to deal with this incident. Can we profit from this incident? And is it necessary to continue this matter? Do we need to intervene? If it is necessary to continue, how should we deal with it? , if not, how to deal with it, and if intervention is needed, then in what capacity and in what way should we intervene, as well as the degree of intervention and the goals to be achieved, these all need to be clarified."

"It seems there are quite a lot of things going on!" Several consultant players in the think tank sighed, but before they could say a few words, they were scolded by Su Mei, and then those guys became completely honest. .

"Although the current situation is very complicated, it shouldn't be too difficult if we think about it separately." Su Mei thought for a while and said, "In any case, this incident is not a bad thing for us at least."

"This is true." Rose nodded: "Even though we have prepared so many defensive measures, it can be said that as long as the Yamata no Orochi really kills us, our Essinger will definitely suffer a certain amount of losses. . Therefore, it is not a bad thing that Yamata no Orochi is dragged to Japan. However, Japan is now an area under our indirect control after all, and the internal friction among Japanese players is too great, and the losses on our side will be great."

"But this is Japan's internal affairs after all. We don't say we won't interfere in other countries' internal affairs, but even if we want to interfere, we can't get involved?" Hongyue said: "Those people in our guild can't show up in Japan. , everyone who can operate in Japan has been assigned to Masa Matsumoto. At this time, we really can’t intervene even if we want to!"

"I don't think so." Su Mei suddenly said: "Since our identity has been determined, we might as well oppress the Japanese as foreign invaders. If they don't make peace, we will force them to make peace."

"Hey, hey, Su Mei, are you right?" I looked at Su Mei in surprise and said, "Aren't you usually very smart? Why are you talking nonsense today? We are mortal enemies to Japanese players. existence. If we go to oppress the Japanese players, they will be at peace, and all their guns will be turned towards the outside world. Then it will be our unlucky situation. Isn't this more gain than loss?"

"Aren't they all on the same page now?" a staff officer said.

Another staff officer immediately refuted: "At least now they have temporarily forgotten that we, the foreign enemies, are fighting together, but if we go to Japan, it will be equivalent to advertising our existence. This is definitely similar to launching a taunting full-screen attack. We will definitely be very passive at that time.”

Sumei frowned and thought for a while before saying: "I was careless just now. However, this matter does require our intervention, and Masamoto Matsumoto alone will definitely not be able to solve it."

"The problem now is that even if we are included, it will still be a problem." Rose said: "This matter is not just a chaos among Japanese players. Don't think about it. The essence of this incident is still a problem of the Protoss, and This also involves the very troublesome existence of Yamata no Orochi. Originally, we could not completely fight even one Yamata no Orochi, and we had to ask for foreign aid and sponsorship. Now the battlefield has become Japanese territory, and we have lost our local advantage. .Without the local NPC protoss to escort us, we have to deal with everything ourselves. On the contrary. On their territory. Whether it is Yamata no Orochi or the Takamagahara protoss, they will be much less restricted by the system. This is minus one The gap between us will only be wider than before, and we can't guarantee our own safety at all. Therefore, even if we reinforce this kind of thing, it is useless, because our reinforcements cannot even offset the consequences caused by this. The backlash of the Japanese protoss, so if we can’t solve this problem, even if we can allocate manpower to help, it will be in vain.”

"Then what should we do now?" Hongyue asked: "These people in the guild headquarters cannot move. Those who can go to Japan are already with Matsumoto Masaga. This does not mean that we have no possibility of reinforcements at all. ?"

As soon as Hong Yue said these words, everyone around him immediately fell into complete silence. Everyone was really a little crazy about what happened this time. You said this was a big deal. We looked anxious and tried to help, but we couldn't. This is more depressing than being defeated by others due to lack of strength.

"That..." A player in the think tank suddenly raised his hand and made a timid voice.

Suddenly, everyone in the conference hall focused their attention on him. That guy was obviously a very shy guy, and he immediately shrank away from our gaze. Because there is nothing anyone can do now, we urgently hope to find a way. Seeing that the little guy seemed to have some ideas, I asked aloud: "If you have any ideas, just say it and let everyone analyze it. Anyway, no one will blame you if you say something wrong. Just think of it as opening up everyone's ideas."

After hearing what I said, the timid little guy finally stood up and said timidly: "Well... I want to say that we can actually provide reinforcements."

Hongyue seemed to have something to say, but looking at her ferocious expression, I was afraid that she would scare that timid guy. Although I don’t know why this player is acting like a lamb among wolves, I am more concerned about his thoughts now, so I took the first step to suppress Hongyue who was about to speak, and then asked in as gentle a tone as possible: " How did you come to such a conclusion? Can you analyze it for us?"

The other party first looked back at the other staff officer next to him, and after receiving an encouraging look from the other party, he nodded and said: "I think so. It's not that our guild cannot participate in such reinforcements now, but because our people only need one When we enter Japan, we will encounter a joint counterattack by Japanese players and the Protoss, so we cannot reinforce them.”

I nodded to indicate that what he said was good and motioned for him to continue.

After being encouraged, this guy seemed to be more courageous, and then he began to say: "What everyone is worried about is a joint counterattack, but unity also takes time. The dispatching and deployment of troops takes time, and our guild just It has super mobility. If we give up the reinforcement of large corps and switch to the method of special forces, using a small amount of elite forces to carry out fixed-point strikes and rapid evacuation, this will not give the other side a chance to unite. As for this, it will cause differences between Japanese players The war is suspended and the gun is turned towards us... I think this is actually something we don’t have to worry about.”

"I admit that your previous idea is very good. Our high mobility can indeed do what you said. But why do you say you don't have to worry about Japanese players attacking us?"

The think tank said: "This is the president. I think, to put it bluntly, this matter is still a problem with the Japanese Protoss. Japanese players are just involved in the Protoss war. We can look at the matter separately. Without the eight Before the incident with Orochi, didn’t Japanese players regard us as life and death enemies? But we can still manage and manipulate Japanese players through Matsumoto Masaga. This shows that whether Japanese players are hostile to us does not affect our success in Japan. Interest, because the source of our interest in Japan is the Japanese players themselves, not our substantive industry in Japan. The reason why we have lost control of this interest now is because the Japanese players are attracted by the God War and leave our chessboard. We What we have to do is to find a target for Japanese players that they feel is more valuable, and then let them return to our strategic system. As long as we appear frequently in Japan, Japanese players will reunite with Matsumoto Masaru because of our threat. By He's side, this way our interests are restored. As for Yamato no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss... they will not end the battle just because the players leave. The situation of Japanese players is just a battle between the Yamato no Orochi and the Takamagahara Protoss. extension, and as long as the conflict between the two exists, the conflict between the Takamagahara Protoss and Matsumoto Masa cannot be ended. As long as they do not end the war, they will not be able to deal with us, so this matter is actually very simple , it’s us who make things complicated.”

"Okay, that's a good analysis. What's your name? Why don't I have any impression of you?" rq
