This Game Is Too Realistic

North Island.

As the capital of the federation, this is the largest island in the southern waters, and it is also the most prosperous island.

Although the population living here is only a little over 90,000, it is home to the Federation's largest heavy industry base and shipyard.

Including the destroyer Glory that has sunk into the sea, nine of the thirteen ships of the Federation were built here, and the remaining four submarines were built in the submarine factories of Anle Island and Coral City.

After the armed forces took control of the presidential palace and the naval command, Charas, supported by the federal marines, announced the inauguration of the new president and delivered his inaugural address by radio.

...it is with a heavy heart that I tell you that our Mr. President has committed an unforgivable crime of treason.

At a time when our fleet has gained absolute superiority and is about to win the final victory, he actually intends to overturn the crimes committed by our enemies! He is trying to destroy our hard-won unity with artificial evidence of distorted facts .”

I will never allow such a thing to happen, even if that person is the person I respect the most.

Hunger, disease, forced labour, repression of dissent...all is legal as long as you put on that blue coat, go ask your fathers and grandpas and they'll tell you what the hermit crabs used to be Face! Go ask them! Who built the man-made island built in the 50th year of the wasteland era! Is it something that popped up half a century later, or us who have lived here from the beginning!

They just happened to be born in the shelter by chance, and the Prosperity Era became their thing, and everything built with the tools of the Prosperity Era became their patent. Those of us who have endured a generation and a generation outside A generation of survivors who have suffered and stood up from the ruins have become monkeys in need of education.

As if we were conjured out of thin air, we were eating theirs and using theirs, we were living in the settlements they built, because our fathers weren't great enough, because our fathers didn't live in that prosperous era Seconds! Ask the old bastards in your family, ask them if things are like this!

What we want to liquidate has never been an ocean current power station, but everything in the past century! They think that the power station is their credit. and our blood and sweat are as insignificant as our opinions, and we are just animals for their reconstruction of utopia, so let them go back to the earth with their arrogance! That utopia has no name on us!

Those passionate words echoed in the square in front of the Presidential Palace, in the shipyard, in the barracks, and in the settlements on the North Island...

People stopped their work and gathered in front of the broadcast, hatred and anger gradually ignited on their silent faces.

Charas didn't prepare speeches and didn't need one, and speaking seemed like a natural ability to him.

What's more, he himself was one of the few people who drafted the declaration. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founding father of the Federation, and he is also a hardliner with a high voice in the army.

Although President Mungo is the commander of the federal navy, that is only the duty entrusted to him by the declaration or the constitution, and it is not that the soldiers have sincerely embraced him to that position.

That guy is almost a pedantic bureaucrat, both in character and in his style of life. Both the officer and himself think so.

As a conservative, he may have the support of most survivors and establishment personnel, but he has far less voice in the military.

And the guy did a stupid thing.

But neither turned a blind eye to the ocean current power station, nor appointed himself as the chief of staff, but tried in vain to fuse two factions that did not agree at all through a political speculation.

It is true that conservatives and radicals both want a federation, but their motivations are completely different. The former seeks equality of identity and political rights, while the latter seeks to escape the shackles of the ghosts of the era of prosperity.

Those guys sitting on the giant ship's cannon never said that they needed a well-behaved president, and their ambitions were far more than just a federation, and far more than just being the walls of the federation.

This could have been a matter of negotiation and mutual compromise, but a military and political adventure put all disputes on hold.

This unjustly born Commonwealth is like a ball of sand squeezed by the hands, never really a stone, nor enough time for it to become a stone.

As long as the hand holding it is loosened, it will fall into its original shape.

Of course, Charas admitted that he had also done a stupid thing, which was to lie so much that he believed it himself.

When he signed that manifesto, he should have clearly realized that he was an opportunist and had no chance of taking his time.

Once the war is over, Mr. President opened the once closed eye again, and restarted the investigation of the cause of the sinking of the ocean current power station.

The one who helped the Church of the Torch to hide from the world will definitely be liquidated, and all the officers involved will be the same.

The new authorities will definitely do this. After all, as long as the real criminals are liquidated, those guys will be able to cut off from the past, and then lead the residents of Vault 70 into a new era.

As for myself and my supporters, no one would thank them for their contributions to the unity of the Federation. They could only spend the rest of their lives facing behind bars.

But it is precisely because of this that no matter whether they are directly or indirectly involved in the sinking of the ocean current power station, they are their natural allies!

They must choose themselves.

You can only choose yourself!

Only when you win can you create the correct memory, so that they don't become the idiot who lifted a rock and shot themselves in the foot!

Looking at the pair of ignited pupils under the podium, Charas announced the final result in a calm and solemn tone.

...President Mungo refused to accept the trial of the law. He not only stubbornly resisted, but also tried to launch a coup. Now he has been killed by our soldiers.

The declaration signed by the perpetrators is no longer valid, and a new cabinet will draw up a new code, and I will now be acting president.

Until we achieve the final victory!

...

Anle Island.

There are only more than 50,000 people living on this picturesque island, but it is home to the largest naval logistics base in the Federation.

Half of the island's residents are members of the Commonwealth Navy and their families, or at least those involved in naval logistics.

Of course, there are also some refugees from Coral City.

The earliest shipyard in the southern waters is also located here, and the first batch of transport ships and seabed mining ships also started from here.

If the circular island was the first man-made island completed by the survivors in the southern seas, then this was the first natural island that ignited the flames of industry, even before the opening of the No. 70 shelter. And it is precisely because of the parts produced on this island that there is the underwater miracle of Coral City, and later the heavy industry center and large shipyard on the North Island.

However, at this moment, the island that first ignited the fire of industry is now covered by another group of invisible burning flames.

First came the last words of the captain of East Timor, then the news of the sinking of the destroyer Glory, and then the lie-filled inaugural speech of Chief of Staff Charas.

A series of appalling events connected in series completely aroused the anger of all the soldiers and officers in the base.

In fact, until the soldiers on duty at the pier received the last words of Captain Dongwen from the captain of the maritime patrol team, there were still many people in this naval base who were supporters of Charas, and even used This is for the unity of the Federation Excuse Charas for his actions.

However, when the unbelievable news that the Glory was wrecked due to the mutiny of the ship's crew came, not many people were willing to believe the lies uttered by that guy.

Everyone had no doubt that that guy was crazy. He even did not hesitate to let the federal fleet kill each other for his own selfish desires.

And the people who followed that guy were also lunatics, and the officers loyal to the Constitution immediately acted and sent Charas' cronies and accomplices to prison.

They won't let these people out of the dark room until they confirm that these guys will not be stupid with Charas and deeply review their past words and deeds.

At the same time when Chalas delivered his inaugural speech, General Li Minghui, who was pushed to the front of the stage, the vice president of the Federation, the deputy commander of the Federal Navy, and the supreme commander of the Anle Island Naval Base, also made a public announcement through the military radio of Anle Island. speech.

... Just now, we have witnessed the darkest and most shameful page in the history of the Federation. In a shameful betrayal, we not only lost the Glory and the two hundred brave young men on board, but also lost Our president lost the proclamation we signed together and the dignity we had for less than four months.

Chalas is trying to use lies to lead our Federation into the bottomless abyss. This war is no longer a war, but a tool for him to seize power and eliminate dissidents. Now, this 'Laken' in human skin ' finally revealed his greedy appetite and fangs, trying to lead us into the bottomless abyss.

We will never compromise with the beasts, let alone accept peace maintained by lies. What we need is true unity!

From now on, Anle Island will no longer recognize the legitimacy of the North Island authorities! At the same time, we call on the survivors of other islands to unite and fight side by side with us! For our future! For all survivors living in this sea!

At the end of his speech, he announced the establishment of the Anle Island Authority, the inauguration of the Acting President and the Commander of the Federal Fleet, and declared war on the North Island rebels in the name of the Constitution.

Compared with Chalas's inaugural speech, General Li Minghui's speech was undoubtedly a little hasty, and the momentum seemed a little lacking.

Although legally speaking, he is the first choice for the acting president, but it is a pity that Charas has become the actual ruler of the North Island.

Although that guy still holds the title of president, the authority in his hands has far exceeded the powers given to him by the code. And the reason why he was able to do this successfully was undoubtedly the support of the Bei Dao military officers, at least some people!

Even if he didn't want to face his former comrades-in-arms, Li Minghui could only make the most practical choice at the moment - to declare the North Island authorities illegal in the name of the Code, and establish a new authority on Anle Island.

He doesn't want to do that.

But he has no other choice.

If he surrenders to Charas, that guy will definitely liquidate him, the de jure vice president, and arrange for any crime to kill him.

Just like that guy unscrupulously killed President Mungo and Captain East Timor...

...

Witnessing the whole coup d'état, Mu Da never thought that the memory card he brought to Anle Island would cause such a big storm that it would split the entire federation.

And what he didn't expect was that he himself became a member of the Anle Island military government council that drafted the new manifesto for no apparent reason.

In the federation, he belongs to the category of people who are closer to Vault 70, and he is regarded as a marginalized role in the federation.

After all, it was the manager, Mr. Sun Yuechi, who separated the maritime patrol team from the federal fleet and assigned it to the Ministry of Finance, which was subordinate to the cabinet.

This delayed the arrival of the crisis to a certain extent, but it also caused the maritime patrol team to be labeled as a refuge faction politically.

However, the Anle Island authorities obviously have no time to worry about these things.

Responding to the military pressure from the North Island is the most urgent thing they need to solve right now.

Even if it's just a few speedboats and minelayers, they have to do everything they can to win them over...

In the Anle Island Naval Base, in the combat meeting room, a meeting about the future of the Federation is underway.

Mu Da was called in the middle of the meeting, so when he entered the conference table was almost full of people.

A tense and depressing atmosphere rushed over.

Glancing at the people sitting at the conference table, he lowered his voice as he sat down on the vacant seat, and asked in a low voice with the director of the logistics department sitting beside him.

How many people responded to our broadcast?

The director of the logistics department looked ugly and said in a low voice.

Only four governors.

Mu Da was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect them to have such weak appeal on Fa Li's side, so he couldn't help asking.

Where's the fleet?

We have a cruiser, two destroyers, and three submarines...if we don't consider modifying some civilian ships, that's all for the time being.

...Then they?

One battleship, one cruiser, three destroyers, and one attack submarine. Seemingly feeling that the situation was too unfavorable, the director of the logistics department tried to save face and added later, But the submarine manufacturing plant is here. On the other hand, we are not without advantages.

Hearing the conversation between the two, another officer sitting next to him coughed lightly and interjected in a low voice.

Yes, we are not without advantages, but the only advantage we have is not worth mentioning compared to the disadvantages. Without the reactor factory in Coral City, we can't produce fusion-powered submarines with stronger silence, It is difficult for conventional submarines to be used in official combat... Moreover, the largest shipyard and ammunition factory in the Federation are in the hands of Chalas and the others.

Mu Da swallowed involuntarily.

……difficult.

The officer sighed.

really.

The largest industrial bases and shipyards are in the north, and the northern islands have enough population, technology, and industrial capabilities to transform technology into war machines.

The longer the delay, the worse it will be for the Anle Island authorities.

And even if the attack is launched in a hurry now, it is almost impossible to defeat the Beidao fleet led by the flagship of the battleship with only the configuration of one patrol, two drive and three submarines on Anle Island.

Not to mention that there are supporters of Charas among them. Even if some people are sent to prison, it will take some time to arrange new people to replace them.

Of course, the current situation in the North Island is the same. Since there are people who support Chalas, there must be people who support the declaration and the elected president.

Both Beidao and Anle Island are suffering from the pain of chaos at the moment.

Whoever settles the chaos within himself first and eliminates his opponents will become the new master of this sea area.

Where is the roundabout? Is there any news? Commander Li Minghui flicked the ashtray on the ashtray, and then looked at the adjutant beside him after thinking for a moment.

The circular island is located in the westernmost part of the southern sea area, close to the Baiyue Strait, just behind the four islands of the Anle Island Authority, and it is also the most populous island in the Federation.

If that colony fell to Charas, the consequences would be disastrous.

It is precisely because of this that they must do their utmost to win it over to the Anle Island authorities.

The adjutant shook his head and said.

The governor there is an opportunist, in other words, a fool, and he said in his call back that he didn't want to take sides ... I even felt that he might want to secede from the Union and join the Union.

The commander frowned.

Difficult.

The adjutant also sighed and nodded slightly.

Yes.

There was silence at the conference table.

At this moment, an officer suddenly spoke.

Why don't we bring the Alliance into our ranks?

As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion on the conference table, and almost half of the people cast surprised glances at that guy.

Including Mu Da, who received money from the alliance a long time ago.

The adjutant sitting beside the commander frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking.

Is this appropriate?

The land power of the alliance is indeed good, but they are too far apart after all, and the sea power is almost equal to no.

Even if those people have some small planes, he really doesn't know how to evaluate that kind of thing. He can only say that they are really not afraid of death, and they dare to ride on any strange-shaped vehicles.

And even without considering the strength of this potential ally, the introduction of external forces to intervene in regional affairs in the southern waters itself is worthy of concern.

In the face of everyone's doubts, the officer who proposed continued to speak in a serious tone.

We have no choice, this is the only way to win, and when we are hesitating, the traitors of the Federation have already borrowed the power of the torch. If we continue to hesitate, we can only sink to the bottom of the sea with our principles .”

There was a murmur of whispers in front of the conference table.

really.

The people sitting here know a little bit about the destruction of the ocean current power station. If it was just a guess before, then the recording left by Captain Dongwen has almost proved the dirty relationship between the Chalas authorities and the Church of the Torch.

It was the acquiescence of the fleet stationed on the North Island that allowed those mutants to pass through the patrol area in the northern part of the federation and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the federation.

At this time, the captain of a destroyer said slowly.

Actually, it's not impossible at all. The alliance's reputation in Silver Moon Bay seems to be good. They also supported the invasion wars of the countries in the Luoxia Province against the Legion and its vassal countries before, and they didn't take the opportunity to annex there after that. kingdoms.

Another submarine captain retorted.

What about King Galleon Harbor?

The captain of the destroyer continued.

They established a new local authority composed of local survivors. Although it is unacceptable from the perspective of the royal family of the Xilan Empire, this matter itself is that the empire took action first... and I always feel that they and the mutants It doesn't seem like a coincidence to appear in the Baiyue Strait at the same time.

Another officer sitting not far from him rubbed his chin with his index finger, and nodded after thinking for a moment.

It makes sense, those people even allow the feudal kingdom in Luoxia Province to continue to exist, as long as the local royal family abolishes slavery and realizes equality between people in law... And on this point, we have gone farther than those feudal lords There are too many, and they have no reason to dictate our affairs.

The previous submarine captain who raised objections hesitated for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason to refute, and finally nodded.

That's true...

As the chatterbox opened, everyone immediately chatted and chatted, and the dignified atmosphere in front of the conference table also dissipated a lot.

Seeking help from the alliance is indeed a way to solve the problem, at least those people are much more reliable than the lunatics in Haiya province.

And I heard that the alliance and the torch are old enemies.

Even considering their own strategic needs, those people do have demands to intervene in the situation in the southern sea area.

There are still differences between them and the residents of No. 70 Vault. At least they dare to settle in the Baiyue Province where the hermit crabs in Vault 70 dare not go. And those guys just crawled out from the bottom of the sea not long ago. Just thinking about the dove occupying the magpie's nest.

I agree, this war has long been not just our war, the torch has been involved in it from the very beginning! If the last words of Captain Dongwen are accurate, then the real murderer who destroyed the ocean current power station is undoubtedly the torch !

I also agree that the matter of the ocean current power station needs to be investigated, but the corpses of mutants appearing on the north side of the circular island are undeniable!

Cough... I suggest not to use the term hermit crab. We have to find a way to win over the residents of Vault 70 who are also victims.

What does it matter, the blue coats in Port Chips call themselves blue gophers. I remember it was the Willant people who gave them the nickname.

You have already said that they are residents of different shelters, so naturally they think differently... It's better for us to pay attention.

There was a lot of chatter on the conference table, but Mu Da, who was sitting in the corner of the conference table, found that he couldn't get in a word.

The Federal Patrol has only a dozen ultra-long-endurance speedboats, and at most they can do the work of helping mines.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something, looked at the director of the logistics department sitting aside, and touched his arm with his elbow.

Can I ask a question?

The man nodded.

certainly.

After a pause, he asked the question that had been on his mind for a while.

...Is this a civil war?

The director of the logistics department was slightly stunned, and looked at the captain intriguingly, as if wondering why he would ask such a question.

Especially in a place like this.

Glancing at the colleagues who were discussing hotly around the conference table, he looked back at the patrol captain sitting next to him.

Is there anything else to say?

After getting an affirmative answer, Mu Da nodded and said nothing more, the stone that was pressing in his heart finally fell to the ground.

In fact, he was not surprised to come to this step at all. He even vaguely felt two months ago that something big would happen if it continued like this.

It's just that when this moment really came, he still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

civil war……

Unexpectedly, in just four months, they who were once extremely united broke into three pieces...

...

Dark clouds are piling up over the North Island and Anle Island, but at the moment the empty sea is peaceful with the setting sun.

The rest area of ​​the Dolphin nuclear submarine.

Seeing Captain Chen Jianhong coming towards him, Dong Wen, who had already put on his clothes, was half thankful and half ashamed.

Needless to say, this nuclear-powered cargo submarine rescued the crew of two hundred destroyers, including herself.

As for the shame, this is the first time since the two sides started fighting for four months, he saw their enemy face to face...

His lips moved for a moment, he nodded slightly and said.

Thanks.

You're welcome, would you like a drink?

Holding a mug in each hand, Chen Jianhong stuffed one of the mugs into his hand without waiting for him to answer, and then sat on a bench beside him.

'Champion' brand coffee beans, I personally like to add a little sugar and milk, I don't know if it suits your taste, give it a try.

A faint milky aroma penetrates the tip of the nose, mixed with a hint of sweetness and bitterness of coffee beans.

The warmth that came into the palm through the wall of the cup dispelled the cold brought by the sea water, Dong Wen sat silently beside Captain Chen, and said something casually absent-mindedly.

Good stuff... where did you get it?

Chen Jianhong grinned, took a sip, and said slowly.

I didn't do it, it was my new employer.

alliance?

Well, the black-box synthetic baby they picked up from Vault 79 was later taken to the Camelback Kingdom and entrusted to the local plantation to plant it... This kind of coffee beans seems to have to be cultivated in a plateau environment, and the altitude of the Djobal Mountains is just right. .”

They really know how to enjoy it. Dong Wen also took a sip slowly, but he couldn't help but wrinkled his cheeks and brows because of the pain.

Seeing his unacceptable look, Chen Jianhong laughed and said.

Well, I've got a little bit of their habits, but I don't think it's a bad thing.

Looking at the silent Dong Wen, Chen Jianhong looked away from the frowning face, looked straight ahead, and spoke slowly.

Actually these days, after learning about other shelters, I have seriously thought about the difference between us.

Timor raised his head.

Then have you thought about it?

Well... Chen Jianhong shrugged his shoulders, and said nonchalantly, I found that you may be right, we really have no difference.

Dong Wen looked at him in surprise, and the latter paused for a moment before continuing.

My great-grandfather has been lying in the dormant cabin for a hundred years, but my great-grandmother is a resident of the island. If my grandfather still has the brand of a blue coat on his body, there are actually no more left in my father's generation. How much. Even my education was completed in Coral City, and many engineers of the Federation are also there, and even read the same textbook as me.

Timor looked at him.

Then where is the problem?

Chen Jianhong thought for a while and said.

Perhaps... it's the manager.

There was a look of surprise on Dong Wen's face.

You mean Mr. Sun Yuechi?

Sun Yuechi? Chen Jianhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands, Then you misunderstood, it's none of that guy's business. I used to look down on him, but since I went to Shuguang City to chat with him, I found that The guy is actually a very thoughtful person, and he is also working very hard to patch the coats that we have worn for a century, but the power of one person is too small in the face of the general trend.

Dong Wen looked at him puzzled.

Is there anyone else?

Chen Jianhong shrugged his shoulders.

It's just my humble opinion. Perhaps...the problem lies in the profession of managers. To be honest, our managers were originally only managers of Vault 70. We used our own methods to select the next manager. Of course There is no problem, but the key is after the door is opened... our administrators need to manage not only the refuge, but also thirteen islands and a seabed settlement.

Dong Wen hesitated a little.

What's wrong with that?

Chen Jianhong shook his head.

No problem, there were no problems at the beginning. For example, Jushi City, they did well before the black card went bad. Singularity City also did well at the beginning, but it took a little detour after losing the help of the War Construction Committee. Even Including the empire I passed by not long ago, regardless of whether General Rowell and the survivors at that time were serious enough, it is indeed not a job for humans to accept hundreds of millions of refugees with a prairie of 4 million square kilometers... Of course, we are the same , and even did a good job until four months ago, and the chaos of these four months cannot negate everything of the past two centuries.

Dong Wen didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

Chen Jianhong paused for a while, then said with a sigh.

Perhaps the original manager is enough for the manager... If the work of the tinker is not passed on from generation to generation, after the adult leaves, we can engrave his name on the door of the shelter that should also die , Let’s thank him and Prosperity Era for the favors bestowed on us, commemorate his birthday and departure together, hold hands and discuss how to go in the future.”

Having said that, he looked at Dong Wen and grinned.

You see, at least this way we have at least one tradition in common, and we don't need to go to the hundred-odd endless festivals of the Prosperity Era. I actually never thought about the prosperity of the Prosperity Era. You all think Blue Coat knows what that place looks like, but to be honest, I haven't been there to see it, and it's okay to start from the beginning under our feet.

Placing the back of his head against the wall, Dong Wen closed his eyes and sighed.

maybe.

He realized that he didn't actually hate the blue coats very much.

Maybe there were shelter residents in his ancestors, or he almost became the lucky ones who hid in the shelter.

What made them come to where they are today.

Maybe he should really think about it.

but……

That's not the thing to do right now.

After drinking the last cup of coffee in one gulp, he looked at Chen Jianhong and asked.

Now? What are you going to do?

As soon as his words fell, before the captain of the Dolphin could answer, a calm and clear voice came from the side.

We plan to go directly to Vault 70 while the Federation Fleet is in chaos.

There has never been a more suitable opportunity than now.
