After spending three days, he passed the basic operation exam.
"Galaxy Era" closed beta testing had officially begun.
The first batch of 50 million players were then matched to Planet Nidru. It was a bit like a battle royale game. 83 players were matched to become the rulers of 83 countries. It was a game of survival of the fittest.
Three superpowers.
Twenty big countries.
Sixty middle-sized countries.
There was no doubt that everyone wanted to be matched with a superpower. They wanted to establish a huge advantage from the start and defeat their competitors to become the final player.
Of course, Li Dong had the same idea.
However …
"Congratulations, the country you've been matched with is the 'big country' Bregslo, with a land area of 5.5 million square kilometers, a population of 350 million, a standing army of one million, a relatively complete industrial system, a nuclear country, and a comprehensive national strength ranked eighth in the world … You're the supreme king of this country, and no one can go against your will."
Hearing this voice.
He looked at the luxurious and luxurious clothes he was wearing, as well as the palace environment in front of him.
To be honest, Li Dong felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
"Your Majesty!"
"Good day, Your Majesty ~"
Two beautiful maids dressed in maid attire bowed to him in greeting, revealing a healing smile.
Li Dong's face turned slightly red, looking like a virgin. He could not help but think to himself, "As expected of Xing Hai Technologies, they understand us too well."
In fact, he had misunderstood. Not all 83 countries were monarchies, and only a few of them had real power.
There was also a constitutional monarchy.
A republic.
A dictatorial state.
Li Dong's luck was good. He was not matched with the most powerful country, but he still had a firm grasp on power. His personal will could be easily carried out.
In contrast, in a constitutional monarchy, it was the prime minister who held the real power, and in a republic, it was the president who had to be approved by the parliament to implement laws.
If it was a dictatorship, it would rely on one's schemes and tactics. Ruling was based on one's ability and the fear of the people below. If one did not have these, one would quickly fall into instability.
Therefore, Li Dong felt that he had drawn a good lot.
Considering the strength of a "superpower" and the fact that it was impossible for them to have the power and resources of the entire Nidru planet, Li Dong decided not to act rashly. He would first observe for a few days to understand more about the situation.
It was just that there weren't many players like him who planned things out before making a decision.
It had only been two to three days since the internal testing started, and the servers were already in chaos.
"Declaration of war, the Maro Republic has officially declared war on Sabui, the two countries have entered a state of total war!"
"Two imperial soldiers have gone missing. The Faqi Empire's parliament has passed a resolution to declare war on the Barmocha Kingdom!"
"The Kodo fleet suddenly attacked the warships docked in the Shiguya military port, and suddenly started an undeclared war."
"The superpower Minidi has issued an ultimatum, demanding that all countries surrender within three days and offer their loyalty and submission."
"The President of the Republic of Nubada died suddenly due to his excessive obsession with NPC women. The country's territory and population were quickly annexed by neighboring countries."
"In the 15421 match, a nuclear country released all its nuclear bombs, destroying the world … All the players in this match have been eliminated from the closed beta."
"The President of Balis was assassinated, and the country fell into chaos. The neighboring countries took advantage of the situation and annexed the country."
"The Justice Alliance has been established. Together, we will deal with the bullying and aggression of the big countries."
The netizens who were paying attention to the internal testing were discussing it.
"O, so this is the ultimate modern war. The destructive power of the mushroom egg doesn't seem to be that great."
"The killing efficiency of future wars is too fast. In just a few days, it can cause the death of hundreds of millions of people."
"I think Xing Hai Technologies has come up with a big problem. The situation on Planet Nidru is too chaotic. There are many powerful countries, but there are no countries that are strong enough to unify the world and integrate all the forces and resources. This challenge is too big."
"Uh, it doesn't have to be through war, right? We can use diplomatic means, military alliances, and discuss things together. Wouldn't the integration of forces be completed?"
"It sounds a little like the Earth Federation in our reality. It's just that Planet Nidru is too large and complex. There are many internal contradictions, so it's unlikely to be integrated into one organization."
"The difficulty of this closed beta is not small, and it's just the environment on the surface of a planet. If it's magnified to the background of the universe, I wonder how complicated it will be."
…
Inside Room 302.
"Ah! Damn it! "
Cai Qinghai slammed his fist on the table, his face full of chagrin. "They were destroyed three days after the war started. The fate of small countries is miserable."
"I'm almost done too."
Liu Yichen slapped his forehead. "I was matched with a big country with abundant resources and a rich country. I felt confident and prepared to annex a small country in the south. I didn't expect that after five days of fighting, I could only penetrate 30 kilometers into the other country's territory. My military strength is five times that of the other party, but the losses are equal. The surrounding countries saw that I was so weak, so they all attacked me. Now, two-thirds of my territory has fallen."
"The country is rich, but the military is weak … Isn't this a bit like Italy?" Cai Qinghai immediately thought of a prototype.
"Wealth doesn't equal combat power. Everything has two sides. I was too careless."
Liu Yichen shook his head.
After Li Dong went offline, his roommates also asked him about the situation in the game.
In the chat group.
Mu Wanqiu also asked with interest, "President, the game that you were matched with should be starting soon. How's the situation now?"
"There are local conflicts, but no full-scale war has broken out yet. But after these days of exploration, I have come to a conclusion."
"What conclusion?"
Mu Wanqiu was shocked. Had the president discovered something?
"Once a full-scale war breaks out, everyone will lose," Li Dong said.
"Uh …"
Cai Qinghai was suddenly puzzled. "Isn't this just a war game? Isn't it just using war to determine the winner? Whoever lasts until the end wins. "
Liu Yichen agreed. "This should be an examination of the players' military strategies. The one with the most outstanding military command ability, who can eliminate all threatening opponents, will get the highest reward."
"You're wrong to think that way."
Li Dong said, "Force is not omnipotent! No matter how outstanding a war strategy is, it is impossible to eliminate a force ten or a hundred times your own and make the people who have no sense of belonging submit to you. This is especially true in modern times where national consciousness has taken shape. Defeating the army of a country is not the same as defeating the whole country. Annexing the territory of a country is not the same as conquering it … In this era, force is mostly used to deter each other, not to seize territory.
"If you want to integrate all forces and resources, war is the last resort. You can only integrate forces by reaching a consensus."
"I kind of understand."
Cai Qinghai said, "This is actually a diplomatic game. Everyone wants to make good friends?"
"But without war, how can the winner be determined and how can they get a high score?" Liu Yichen asked.
Mu Wanqiu also asked, "President, have you thought of a way?"
"Uh … I don't have a particularly good way. I just want to avoid getting too low a score."
Li Dong shook his head. He was matched with a "big country," not a "superpower." He did not have the ability to dominate the situation, and he did not dare to be too high-profile, lest he become the bird that stuck out.
"Well, President, you can do it! I believe you can do it. "
Mu Wanqiu cheered him on.
"Thank you."
