Chapter 54 The Battle of Waterloo (2)
"So, even if I run for Napoleon, it is impossible to change the end of the war?" Zheng Xu quickly understood Mr. Chen's words after he woke up. He also remembered that the battle of tens of thousands of people was very simple when the command line soldiers fought for the first time. The battlefield was clear at a glance. Both sides were just fighting head-on, without unnecessary interference. In reality, they were faced with confusing battlefield fog. All kinds of interference will affect judgment. Later generations are not qualified to easily blame the various mistakes made by the commanders.
"Yes, any ordinary person, even if he knows all the details and process of this battle, he has almost no chance to change the outcome of the battle. Even if he does not divide his troops, the same is true. Ordinary people do not have the qualities. If they want to defeat, they only have commanders who have in-depth research on the 19th century war and have actual experience in commanding the army's combat. Such people do not need famous generals, but only a general who can execute tactical orders step by step. On the premise of a premonition, he can easily use his military knowledge and combine the information he learned in advance to transform it into various tactical advantages, and then gain a victory," Mr. Chen continued.
"However, I can't hire such a person, right?" Zheng Xu asked.
"This is not necessarily the case. We know many veteran generals. Although they don't know how to play this kind of game, if this game company really claims to be a real simulation, then there is no difference from sand table military deduction. We can still accept it if we want to find such a person." Mr. Xu, who hasn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke.
"Oh, is that?" Zheng Xu looked at it and did not make a decision immediately.
"Let's see how many people compete for Napoleon's corner**?"
Soon the game character election began. Zheng Xu knew that being able to run for such a character, that is, the people who often do the right thing in the game will not have too many strangers.
"The role of Napoleon, the French Emperor, the supreme commander of the French army in the Battle of Waterloo. The 30-minute countdown begins, and the election list is as follows:"
A role takes thirty minutes to run for a role. Zheng Xu knew that this was because of its importance. If he was a young officer, he would definitely choose to compete in batches and would not be taken out alone.
In less than a minute, Zheng Xu saw the familiar opponent's name.
"Fight for the beauty, five million yuan treasure."
Although Zheng Xu was not surprised to see this number, he was also a little impressed. He felt that the luxury of this man and his cousins was even more than that. Especially when the other party was in a war, he had huge investment. Even if he loved playing games, he still invested a lot. He felt that the other party was really a strange flower among the local tyrants, and he actually felt that he had a little more appreciation for each other.
He has only prepared a budget of 2 million yuan for this battlefield, plus the cost of hiring military history experts of 2 million yuan. Military history experts seem to be very expensive, but if they can use 32 battles, the average investment is not very high.
The other party dares to invest five million just for the qualification to play roles. This is much more powerful than playing luxury car villas. You should know that this is only a 3-day consumption period, which means that the night payments of some big stars are comparable.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xu could understand that everyone has their own hobbies, and the other party is just like this, and no one can control it. Just like him, he does not harm others, and does not seek trouble. He just spends money to play a game. Who is qualified to say that he doesn't say anything?
As before, when the campaign funds were released for "fighting for beauty", no one competed with him anymore, and even Zheng Xu was unwilling to get involved with this master who did not regard money as money.
When he squanders his own money, he is still self-aware and will not cause any expenses that harm the family assets. The sum of them is also within a reasonable expenditure range every year. After all, he does not include celebrities or play villas and luxury cars and yachts. The money he spends on games every year is still saved by comparison.
Apart from Napoleon, a famous figure in ancient and modern times, the remaining figures are too few, and they don’t look like they are on the same level. Even the winner of the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington, only 10,000 yuan, and as for the less famous Marshal Blücher, there are only 1,000 yuan. As for the other general marshals, such as Marshal Ney and Marshal Gruch, there are only a few hundred yuan. Some of the remaining officers are only dozens or even a few yuan. The cost is not much.
It can be seen that a person's reputation determines his value. Even though Napoleon appeared on this battlefield as a loser, his status, reputation and value in human history are hundreds of times that of the people who defeated him.
Seeing this, Zheng Xu felt that it was normal. This price was within his acceptance range as a 3-day event.
There were more people running for the Duke of Wellington, with more than twenty in total, but the highest one was only 23,000 yuan. It seems that few unfamiliar foreigners admitted that they were not convinced. Although this guy later had a high status in British history, the Chinese were not familiar with him. Napoleon at least said that the Chinese were the sleeping lions in the East.
"What is my best choice now?" Zheng Xu asked again.
"Of course I chose Napoleon's camp," Mr. Chen owed slightly, and he sighed in his heart. For a million, he did not hesitate to put down his noble face and act as a military advisor for the powerful. In order to make up the down payment for a house for his son, the other party is just playing a game and throwing out five million at will.
"Why? Didn't you say that ordinary people have to be unable to command this kind of historical role?" Zheng Xu felt something was wrong.
"It's very simple. The other party has invested so much. It must have found a commander who is proficient in modern military in reality. With basic command and command power, plus the prediction of the uncertainty, victory is just a surprise," Mr. Chen explained patiently.
"Oh, then I don't choose this way, so I won't be in the same camp as him, but so many fools chose the Duke of Wellington. If the game company finally chose to let someone act as the commander of the British army, wouldn't it be artificial to lower the IQ of the NPC? It would be better to let the NPC play according to the historical role, at least not to make low-level mistakes," Zheng Xu was puzzled. If a famous character was played by a player, he could imagine what kind of jokes he would make.
"That's true. In theory, the game company will not be able to consider this point. Perhaps there are more details that will be revealed after the election." Mr. Chen was also confused. In theory, designing such a war should be considered more comprehensively.
"How do those players know how to use modern artillery? They know when hunting cavalry, dragoons, and lancers should attack, when to retreat, and how to charge in infantry? These detailed operations are definitely impossible if players understand them in just a few days. It seems that there are special places that have not been explained yet." Mr. Xu also agreed.
