Chapter 100 If You Are a Man, Go to the 100th Floor 6
What is the difference between real war and war games? Would it be more advantageous if Paradox players were allowed to participate in real wars? This was a question Ye Xiaoxuan saw on the Internet a long time ago.
There is such an opinion in the comment section:
The core difference between real war and war games lies in the authenticity and irreversibility of consequences.
Real war is a cruel battle of life and death, involving real national interests, people’s lives and huge consumption of resources.
The casualties, destruction and psychological trauma of war are irreversible and their effects can last for decades or even centuries.
Military operations are constrained by multiple factors such as politics, economy, and society. The commander's decision is directly related to the fate of thousands of people, and complex factors such as intelligence, logistics, and morale are far beyond theoretical deductions.
War games are simulated or entertaining confrontations with controllable rules and no real cost to victory or defeat.
Players can try again and again, and start over after failure, without taking any moral or real responsibility.
Games often simplify the chaos and uncertainty of war, for example, ignoring key factors such as fatigue, fear, and misjudgment, making the experience smoother but less realistic.
Simply put, in the game, you are more like an omnipotent god than a commander of a war.
But the reality is not like this. The information you receive may be wrong from the beginning, the orders you give may be impossible for the army to implement, and the supplies you allocate may not be delivered to the battlefield on the way due to various reasons.
Therefore, real war is a tragedy of blood and fire, while war games are rule-based virtual experiences. The former changes history, while the latter is only for learning or entertainment, and they must not be confused.
So why bring this up?
Because Ye Xiaoxuan is facing this situation now.
The war plan was arranged, but at the last moment, due to the psychological factors of the soldiers, Ye Xiaoxuan failed.
All this was due to her negligence.
Ye Xiaoxuan thought.
Then he asked the question at the beginning: "What is your name? Your real name."
"white night."
Bai Ye didn't know why Ye Xiaoxuan asked this, and answered timidly, but Ye Xiaoxuan smiled and said to her: "Okay, Bai Ye, see you later."
A powerful shock wave hit her, and Ye Xiaoxuan said goodbye to him. In her sight, the words "Soldier C" on Bai Ye's head had changed to "Bai Ye".
White light. Smoke. Shouts of killing.
Opening her eyes again, Ye Xiaoxuan steadied herself before falling and looked at her palm.
I knew that I had returned to the same battlefield again.
So this time, when the spider's claws were about to hit the boy, a blast-haired knight appeared in front of him and easily killed the spider in front of him with just one move.
"Commander, are you alright?"
It was Soldier A. They met again. With plenty of time, Ye Xiaoxuan helped Soldier A avoid the attack and then asked him, "What's your name?"
Soldier A was unable to react for a moment. "Commander, what happened to you? Are you injured somewhere? Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"
Ye Xiaoxuan: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask."
Soldier A saw her like this and didn't say much, he just said: "My name is Ye Qing."
As soon as the young man said this, Ye Xiaoxuan discovered that the words on his head had also changed.
Sure enough, it was just as she thought.
"Okay, Ye Qing, just follow my instructions from now on." Ye Xiaoxuan said.
Then Ye Qing's actions made her feel confused.
The moment he heard this, the man's eyes became moist.
“Hmph…Hmph…”
"Why are you crying?" Ye Xiaoxuan didn't understand.
"As expected, Commander, you have hurt your head. However, I am still very happy because you finally called me by my name. I have been your bodyguard for a lifetime, but you have never remembered my name and have always called me Soldier A."
Ye Xiaoxuan: ...
I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I could only pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, and then started to tell him to do his job.
The soldiers desperately resisted the monsters that poured in crazily. When they returned for the third time, Ye Xiaoxuan learned from the lessons of the previous two times and the casualties were significantly reduced.
Not long after, Soldier A, Ye Qing, came back to her and said to her:
"Commander, please calm down. The ones rushing towards us now are the Black Spider Army. Although they are at the forefront of the position, the enemy will not appear after sunset. It is about 30 minutes before the sun sets. No matter what, please hold on until then."
Ye Qing told her everything he knew, which was all what she knew. Ye Xiaoxuan nodded and said nothing more.
After a long wait, the sun finally set.
After the monsters retreated, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
The same conversation happened again:
"Commander, would you like to take a rest first?"
Looking at the corpses under the city wall, Ye Xiaoxuan said nothing. After a long silence, she said to Ye Qing, "No need. Go call my guards."
She empathized with them, Ye Xiaoxuan knew. After what happened last week, she could no longer treat them as NPCs.
The members of the escort team arrived as promised, and Ye Xiaoxuan sat here looking at everyone's files.
It didn't take long for him to finish reading a thick file.
Through the archives, Ye Xiaoxuan also learned a lot of things, such as that Ye Qing had gained superpowers since he was cut by a monster that attacked the village when he was a child.
For example, before joining the guard, Xu Kai was a petty thief. He was born in a poor family and had many family members to support. It must have been quite difficult for him to be promoted to the position of knight. She even admired him a little.
Oh, by the way, Xu Kai is the Soldier B.
But somehow, the hidden abilities of the psychics seemed to be related to the psychics themselves. This was a small discovery of hers.
Gathering her four guards again, Ye Xiaoxuan first repeated her actions from the previous week, then turned around and asked Soldier C and Tian Meng for their opinions.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked Tian Meng.
But Tian Meng just sobbed and said, "My friend, she is dead."
"My condolences." Ye Xiaoxuan heard this with a calm tone, but it was this calm tone that made Tian Meng stressed out in an instant.
"What do you mean by condolences? What do you mean by condolences? You don't understand at all!"
The girl was shouting at the top of her lungs. This was considered treason here. Su Xiao (Soldier D) wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Tian Meng continued:
"Pan was a friend of mine from my hometown. He and I came from the same orphanage, but he died trying to save me in battle."
The girl squatted there and cried loudly, but Ye Xiaoxuan just stood there calmly and listened to her continue.
