Chapter 580: Chapter 551: The mes of War are Burning!
English yers use English, while yers from the Ottoman Republic use Ottoman Turkish.
If both sides couldn’t understand each other and were just ying the game simply, there would be no problem.
After all, in the whole of Europe, there are no more than 30 million Mirage Consolesbined.
— Last week, Cloud Dream delivered 20 million consoles to European partners, and a small portion of users paid high shipping fees to buy directly from Cloud Dream.
People who can buy Mirage at this time, calling each other “fellow enthusiasts”, would not be an exaggeration.
The problem is that Cloud Dream’s technology is so strong that both sides’ nativenguages can be tranted in real-time, allowing everyone to understand each other.
As a result, conflicts happen.
No one can say for sure which side started using profanity first, but before they even reached the middle game, both sides were shooting each other while spewing trash talk.
Then, a British yer escted the situation by bringing religion into the conversation.
Although the Ottoman Republic is now a secrized country, its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, was indeed a hardcore and devout religious state.<div>
The reformed Ottoman Republic is indeed a secrized country in name.
But in a country where 99% of people follow the same religion and the remaining 1% follow other religions, no matter how secrized it is, it cannot remain indifferent to insults to their faith.
Adding insult to injury, British yers even dared to im that the Ottoman Republic’s ck tea was not authentic,cking any sophistication, and aplete waste of tea leaves!
They even suggested that theye to Ennd to learn “how refined people drink ck tea.”
Without a doubt, the Ottoman Republic’s yers werepletely furious!
During the subsequent battles, they were no longer satisfied with long-distance fighting, they rushed forward with roars, preferring to use knives instead of bullets whenever they could!
Of course, killing with tank guns is always the best!
If both sides had strongmand and execution ability, such an “irrational” state could have been a disadvantage.
But now that both sides are scattered, it’s apletely different story—
The yers of the Ottoman Republic were all eager to tear the British yers apart, sacrificing themselves fearlessly.
The British yers, who were already at a disadvantage, were immediately hit with a heavy blow, their heads held down by the fierce offensive, forcing them to retreat step by step.
Nevertheless, they didn’t let up on their verbal attacks.
When Ottoman Republic assault yers charged into their bases with explosives and anti-tank hand grenades, they still couldn’t resist taunting: “You’re so good at being human bombs, your faith must be very devout, right?!”
Hearing this, not only were the Ottoman Republic yers on the battlefield furious, but the viewers watching the live broadcast also couldn’t stand it any longer, cursing aloud.
They not only cursed in their own live broadcast rooms but also rushed to the British anchor’s live broadcast room to curse the Brits.
The British anchor was also a bit dumbfounded.
At least as a public figure, Dan definitely wouldn’t participate in such tasteless actions— at least not publicly.
He and a few fans formed a small six-yer team and chose the National War Mode to experience a 200-yer battlefield together.
But now, he wishes he could p himself!<div>
Why couldn’t they just y a regr game? Why the National War Mode?
Now they’re stuck riding a tiger, unable to dismount!
As an ordinary anchor, he can’tmand nearly a hundred yers, and he certainly can’t control those who enjoy trash-talking on the battlefield.
He has already tried hard to appeal: “Everyone, please pay attention to gaming etiquette, and don’t attack other people’s beliefs and ethnic customs!”<div>
Obviously, such appeals are having no effect whatsoever.
With gunfire and explosions all over the battlefield, who can hear his appeals?
Now Dan is even considering something: “Should I stop streaming?”
“If they keep cursing like this, will my live broadcast room be banned?”
No need to think about it; the torrents of unintelligiblenguage flooding his live broadcast room are undoubtedly fromizens of the Ottoman Republicing to insult them!
— The Ottoman Republic and the United Kingdom are both part of the European Alliance, and in terms of geography, the Middle East is quite separate from tightly knit European countries, butworking,merce, transportation, and the like are interconnected.
UKizens were not to be outdone, and simrly, they enthusiastically ran to the opposing side to curse back.
—— yers from the Ottoman Republic who were provoked to anger did not miss any opportunity to stab British yers where it hurts.
Especially since the British yers were being beaten on the battlefield, this upset many audience members all the more.
Are the yers from the Ottoman Republic much stronger than those from the UK?
Not really.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite: as an old developed country, the United Kingdom has a more developed gaming industrypared to the Ottoman Republic.
In terms of the overall quality of yers, the United Kingdom was actually stronger than the Ottoman Republic, which was the main reason why British yers were extremely annoyed with this match.<div>
So why were British yers being suppressed in the match?
The key to the issue was quite simple: the inte cable.
Yes, it was just that tant.
It had nothing to do with the market, economy, faith, technology, or anything like that.
It was all about inte speed.
Currently in the European market, manypanies were seeking to cooperate with Cloud Dream, and most of the countries with substantial strength were included.
However, the progress in different countries varied.
The situation right now was: the sale of consoles had begun in many countries, but the construction of servers was not going so smoothly.
Small countries either had unsuitable locations or inadequate infrastructure, making it impossible to build the servers.
As a result, most European countries were still relying on the Moscow-based servers.
The fastest progress was being made by the server located in France, with all processes alreadypleted and the server location chosen.
— As always, they chose the area with the highest poption, which could cover nearly one-sixth of the entire national poption – the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area.
Cloud Dream’s staff had already flown over to inspect the site, and it was now in trial operation, helping share the load of the Moscow servers.<div>
However, other countries, especially the strongest ones like the United Kingdom and Germany, were not progressing as smoothly.
They insisted that the servers must be controlled by local enterprises under the pretext of “maintaining user privacy and information security”.
The United Kingdom even went a step further, demanding a security review of virtual reality technology.
Cloud Dream was unwilling topromise.
And so, the situation stalled.
Under such circumstances, it was quite strange that British yers could still buy Mirage Consoles, as their government did not entirely ban sales.
However, the Ottoman Republic had their own servers!
Thanks to their advantageous geographical location at the junction of Europe and Asia, relevant industries had developed rapidly after the cease-fire, with standard infrastructures and crucial geographical positions, making it an ideal ce to build servers.
What’s more, their partners were not just ordinarypanies, but the Foreign Trade Department of the Ankara Chamber of Commerce in the capital of the Ottoman Republic!
They were almost responsive to any requests from Cloud Dream and offered considerable tax incentives.
When Lincoln first heard about this, he found it a bit odd, but Jerome calmly analyzed it for him: it must have been influenced by geopolitical factors, as Europe was not entirely united, and the Ottoman Republic had been seeking bnce between Europe and Daxia.
In any case, with green lights all the way, Cloud Dream quicklypleted the construction of its server center in Ankara at lightning speed!
On one side, yers had servers right in their own capital city, while yers on the other side had to cross the sea and a lengthy distance to connect to the servers. No matter how advanced virtual reality technology was, it could not bridge such a gap.<div>
With such an advantage of inte cables, the yers of the Ottoman Republic eventually imed victory in this match, beaming with pride.
British yers, on the other hand, were furiously mming the table.
But this was far from over!
As long as they chose the National Warfare mode, they had hardly ever won a game since then.
Not to mention the Asian countries, they hadn’t even won against their fellow Europeans!
What frustrated them the most was that they hadn’t even won against France!
Being mocked by the French yers was even more unbearable for the British yers than losing to the Ottoman Republic’s yers, causing their morale topletely copse.
It took them quite a while to finally realize the issue: As long as the server problem remained unsolved, they could not hope to win any National Warfare match against other countries.
Their anger finally found an outlet – cursing their domestic gamepanies, “Why haven’t you reached an agreement with Cloud Dream and built a powerful server center yet?”
“Can you afford the responsibility of humiliating the British Empire in front of the whole Europe?!”
…
The performance of British yers was just the tip of the iceberg of Battlefield’s influence.
Looking across Europe and the Middle East, there was no shortage of countries with deep-rooted hatred for one another!
Russia and Germany fought, Pnd and Russia fought, France and Germany fought, Pnd and Ukraine fought, Portugal and Spain fought…
From randomly encountering each other in National Warfare mode, to quickly escting into real skirmishes, and eventually developing into intense verbal battles over the inte.
For a time, the entire European inte was aze with the fires of war.
Commuting workers who knew nothing about Battlefield, opened their socialworks to check the trending topics, almost believing that another world war had broken out.
