Girls und War

Then, Xia Shu clicked into Shui Mo Dolphin's personal space and read the series of detailed plot explanations she gave for the map she created.

478. Although she said no, Xia Shu still became interested in this thing

Although I thought to myself that I would never touch this crappy map again in my life.

But when Xia Shu saw the detailed plot of the map in front of him, he couldn't help but click on it.

As expected, the final confrontation map of the last recruit company was made by her.

She also made the one of the clock tower in front.

In addition, she participated in the planning of most maps for the rookie competition.

In a sense, it can be said that Xia Shu suffered a lot at her hands.

The military's Virtual Combat Division, while somewhat critical of her strong personal style in map design, was undeniably skilled in map making.

Therefore, they can only accept these complex world views and plot designs that do not affect the balance.

In addition, the ink-and-wash dolphin was so attentive and detailed in shaping its worldview that even her opponents had to admit that it really existed.

Putting aside the small emotions attached to personal senses, Xia Shu can indeed feel the weight of the background stories of these maps.

She even sensed the anti-war sentiments hidden deep within the creator's heart.

Take this map on the assessment as an example.

The background and identity of the burden who had been protected by the assessment sergeant during the mission was exactly the same as Xia Shu had guessed.

It was the princess and the rich businessman’s daughter in the previous story.

What the rich businessman didn't know was that the princess was already pregnant when she was brought back to the kingdom.

But after giving birth to a daughter, she secretly escaped from the kingdom with the help of her maid and came to the country where the rich businessman lived.

By this time, the war had already broken out.

The princess went through untold hardships during the war to come before the wealthy businessman, but due to fate, they didn't have the chance to see each other for the last time.

At this moment, the scene that Xia Shu saw during the competition happened.

Subsequently, the kingdom was victorious and an armistice was signed.

The princess's daughter grew up as an orphan without a father or a mother.

But as an illegitimate daughter, she could not be recognized by the royal family, so she was exiled by the king at that time and became a commoner.

The one who adopted her at this time was the princess's younger brother, her uncle - who was also the man at the center of the inheritance vortex.

The plot here is a bit complicated, and it took Xia Shu a long time to figure it out, so it has to be told slowly.

Let’s start with the previous kings.

This previous king—who has no name in the story, so we’ll call him the fake one for now—was a philandering and amorous king.

During his lifetime, he had more than twenty descendants.

Although so many children were born, there were only four royal descendants who had legal inheritance rights.

The first was a prince, the second oldest in the royal family, born to his first wife. This wife held a high position, a princess of a neighboring principality. In the interest of geopolitical goodwill, this prince had legally the highest right of succession.

The second was a prince who was ninth in age within the royal family. His mother was a prominent member of the kingdom, and they were even distantly related. Due to the need for political stability in the land, this prince naturally enjoyed legal second-in-line succession rights.

As for the third and fourth children, they are sixth and eleventh in the royal family, respectively, and are siblings born to the same mother. While their mother was not of noble descent in the feudal sense, her status was tied to the country's religious beliefs. Therefore, as a product of a compromise between divine and royal authority, these siblings hold the third and fourth rights of succession, respectively.

The next few in line were all illegitimate children. In terms of seniority, their inheritance rights were not even as good as those of the several collateral brothers in the fake life.

The background protagonists of the story are this pair of siblings.

Needless to say, the sister's identity is of course the princess who almost eloped with a wealthy businessman.

As the fourth heir to the throne, the younger brother moved up one place to third after his sister's "accidental death".

However, this third inheritance right came to the second place when the assessment began.

What happened?

Court political struggle.

As mentioned before, this fake person is fickle and amorous in his life, and is a human-shaped self-propelled artillery piece.

Then such a self-propelled artillery king usually has a problem.

——That is being ambitious.

From the various details of the world view, it can be inferred that the war with the country where the rich businessman is located was solely driven by the fake man.

To this end, he could even sacrifice his most beloved daughter who had the right of inheritance.

But years of drinking and sex had taken a toll on his body.

He died of illness shortly after the two countries signed an armistice agreement.

At this time, the prince who has obtained the first right of inheritance to the throne must naturally be crowned.

However, due to a palace coup conspiracy, the second prince died from an "accidental fall from a horse" before the fake first prince died.

Therefore, the inheritance rights of the ninth and eleventh princes smoothly rose to the first and second place.

From the previous clues, we can know that the Sixth Princess and the Eleventh Prince were raised by the Vatican, so the Eleventh Prince is a religious believer.

This man was very Buddhist and said, "Since you want to be king, I'll just give it to you. I'm not interested in royal power. I just want to be a rich man."

The Ninth Prince was also very generous, so he let the Eleventh Prince and his adopted daughter of the Sixth Princess go, and let them go to a remote town.

This is where the assessment is conducted.

Then choose a day to prepare for the coronation.

But unfortunately, things did not go as planned and an accident happened again.

Due to the interference of foreign hostile forces, clues about the accidental death of the second prince were found.

And many signs indicate that the mastermind behind the death of the second prince is the ninth prince.

Then came public opinion and sanctions from multiple countries. In short, they didn't want the Ninth Prince to become a fake second generation as he wished.

The political reasons behind this are quite complicated, and Xia Shu couldn't figure it out for a while.

In short, just remember one thing: this matter was exposed by the second prince's family, the hometown of his real wife in this fake life.

It can basically be understood as a struggle between geopolitics and local politics.

At this time, the Second Prince's forces found another very useful tool.

That is the eleventh prince who has the second right of inheritance.

After reaching an agreement with the Holy See, the eleventh prince wanted them to be sent to the throne.

The Ninth Prince, of course, would not surrender willingly, so he decided to take the initiative and put his adopted brother under house arrest.

So a civil war broke out in the country.

By the time the mission began, the eleventh prince, the uncle of the burden, had already been taken away by the forces of the Holy See.

The situation was extremely urgent at the time, and there was no time to even get the inheritance documents signed by the fake person himself.

Then the sergeants' assessment task came.

1. Rescue the princess trapped in the small town.

2. Return to the house where the eleventh prince lives and retrieve the inheritance documents.

This is the background story of the assessment of the deputy command sergeant.

479. A true macho man is one who can play horror games all night long

After stringing together all these background stories, Xia Shu suddenly felt clear-headed.

This story is full of the flavor of Earthlings' political struggles, and the role-playing of the assessors is also very well done.

Generally speaking, a soldier's ability to see is limited, and in actual combat, there are indeed situations where they don't know the true nature of the mission and only know partial information.

In operations like this one, which have deep political implications, usually only the leading officer knows the specific circumstances.

As a deputy commanding sergeant, it was reasonable for Xia Shu to be unaware of the inside story.

She could see that this Miss Ink Dolphin had indeed verified a lot of historical data, and some of the things she said were not groundless.

Even in the document she explained in the setting, many interesting details were revealed.

For example, the captain in the assessment was the nineteenth child born out of wedlock in the fake person's previous life.

He is only two years older than Miss Tuoyouping. Judging from what Shuimo Dolphin means, there is a possibility that the two will have a passionate love in the future story.

In addition, the identity of the enemy officer who was killed by the burden was also quite complicated.

It seems that he was originally one of the guards of the Sixth Princess's Guard, but secretly defected to the Ninth Prince.

On the night when the Sixth Princess escaped, he obeyed the Ninth Prince's order and released the Sixth Princess.

Otherwise, according to the original plot, the Sixth Princess would not commit suicide for love outside.

Even later, when the Eleventh Prince took over his sister's old subordinates, this guard also infiltrated the Eleventh Prince's forces as a spy.

When the burden saw that the guard was wearing the military uniform of the Ninth Prince's faction, he understood everything.

As for why Tuoyouping was afraid of him, it was because when Tuoyouping was young, he was criticized by this "mother's old subordinate".

The discussion here is about the contradictory psychology of a man as a traitor, so I will leave it blank for now.

The reason why this guard entered the Eleventh Prince's residence alone was naturally to find the inheritance document and seek credit from his master.

Ink Dolphin also designed more details, such as the map in the clock tower, and the confidential information that Natsuki and Himiko were fighting over, which was the evidence that the Ninth Prince was plotting to kill the Second Prince.

There is also the initial factory map, which is located near the town, etc. I won’t go into details.

In short, all the maps made by this guy Ink Dolphin have a strong personal style.

Basically, you will never forget it once you use it, that’s for sure.

This also made Xia Shu more and more curious about what kind of weirdo this guy was.

After she finished reading the detailed explanation of the map in the Ink Dolphin Space, she planned to leave.

After thinking about it, I decided to leave something behind.

So I left a message amidst the barrage of insults in the comments section.

"I've finished watching it, it's very real."

Then he closed the social browsing box.

As for what kind of impact her comments will have, it is none of Xia Shu's business.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xia Shu was about to take a shower and come back to sleep when he saw Shuibian pushing the door and walking in.

The two smiled and said hello, and Shuibian suddenly asked, "Do you want to play games?"

"Game? What type of game?" Xia Shu became curious.

"Hmm... there's a social game that's been popular recently. We're all playing it." Shuibian thought for a moment and said, "It's kind of a social game. A few people live in a house, and one of them is a monster. We have to find it."

"Sounds good. Scary?"

"It's not that scary, except that the monster can turn into a broadsword mine and kill people."

"What has it become?"

"Claymore Mine. Wanna play?"

"Play!"

As he spoke, Xia Shu downloaded the horror game called "Walking This Side Enemy" on the recommendation of Shuibian.

It's really scary!

The thought of a moving, ready-to-explode Broadsword mine is creepy.

Not to mention that it can turn into a human and move with normal people.
