Real Cthulhu Running Game

As the representative of the Sawada family, Liu Xing was directly invited into his office by Shimazu Nakano, and Alice also came in because she had to push a wheelchair.

"Mr. Shimazu, I think you don't look too good." Liu Xing said with concern: "Mr. Shimazu, it seems that you have been very busy these two days for this decisive battle..."

Before Liu Xing finished his compliments, Shimazu Nakano waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I haven't done anything in the past two days, because my health has been getting worse and worse during this time."

Hearing what Shimazu Nakano said, Liu Xing noticed that there were several bottles of medicine on the table in front of him.

As a doctor, Liu Xing could tell at a glance that these bottles of medicine were targeted drugs for treating cancer, but more importantly, these bottles of medicine did not treat the same type of cancer.

Because the location of cancer onset is different, the targeted drugs required are also different.

But what surprised Liu Xing the most was that under normal circumstances, people would only get one kind of cancer at the beginning, and then because the cancer metastasis may cause cancer in several similar parts, Liu Xing was an intern in the oncology department. At that time, only one of the hundreds of patients I met had two types of cancer.

After all, the essence of cancer is the uncontrolled rapid differentiation and spread of cells, causing the number of originally stable cells to rise linearly, so a tumor is formed and begins to continuously absorb all nutrients around it; therefore, most of the time, the human body "supplies" It’s difficult to treat one tumor, but what about being able to feed another tumor?

Of course, there are always surprises in everything. There have been people in history who have suffered from more than five types of cancer, but such people are very rare. Liu Xing feels that even if he is a doctor all his life, he will never see such a "genius". "Abandoned Son", as a result, this person is now in front of him.

"Mr. Shimazu, what are you doing?" Liu Xing frowned and asked, "I see that these medicines on your table are used to treat cancer in several locations. Is your physical condition already serious enough? Is it to the point?"

Shimazu Nakano sighed, nodded and said: "That's right, when I was in the hospital some time ago, I checked my body by the way, and it turned out that I had three types of cancer at the same time, and they soon became cancer due to spread. Eight kinds, so now I feel that all the strength in my body is constantly passing away, and I may not be able to hold on at any time... It is precisely because of my physical problems that some forces dare to negotiate terms with me at this time. .”

Eight types of cancer?

Liu Xing looked at Shimazu Nakano in shock. He didn't expect that his current physical condition was so bad. This was equivalent to installing eight high-power engines for off-road vehicles on an ordinary car. Even if the fuel tank is filled with the highest quality gasoline, it won't last long, even if you equip this car with the most professional maintenance team in the world.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I may pass away at any time within a month after the Battle of Gongwu, so I really want to sit on the highest position in the island country before then, so that my life will not be in vain. .”

Shimazu Nakano shook his head, and then said seriously: "I know that the relationship between Shimazu Hiromichi and you is a bit bad, because he caused you a lot of trouble during the previous trip to Kagoshima, but now it is certain that Shimazu He will be the next head of the Tsu family, so I hope that our Shimazu family can still be allies with your Sawada family in the future, and we can advance and retreat together on certain matters."

Since Shimazu Nakano said so, Liu Xing naturally nodded in agreement, but he was still very confused in his heart, because Shimazu Nakano had used black technology left over from ancient civilizations to keep himself from getting sick for many years. As a result, Why is your crotch stretched all of a sudden now?

Even if Shimadzu Nakano hadn't used that black technology recently, he wouldn't have suffered a backlash all of a sudden, right?

So the only possibility that Liu Xing can think of now is that Shimazu Hiromichi played a dirty trick on Shimazu Nakano. The reason is that Shimadzu Hiromichi can't wait to take the position of the head of the Shimadzu family.

But isn't this too anxious?

Although according to Shimazu Nakano's previous physical condition, he can live for at least another twenty or thirty years, but since Shimazu Nakano has agreed to make Shimazu Hiromichi the next head of the family, Shimazu Nakano probably will not persist for that long. After waiting for at most three to five years, he would abdicate on the grounds of "illness", so that Hiromichi Shimazu could become the new head of the family in a dignified manner, and the rest of the Shimazu family would not say much.

But now Shimadzu Nakano suddenly and inexplicably got eight types of cancer, and then died suddenly within a month. In the eyes of the rest of the Shimadzu family, there is only one possibility - Shimadzu Hiromichi can't wait any longer.

In this case, what will other members of the Shimazu family think of Shimazu Hiromichi? Although after experiencing the Shimazu Takeshi incident, the rest of the Shimazu family has been severely damaged. Even if they join forces, it is impossible to do anything to Shimazu Hiromichi. But without the support of these people, the head of the Shimadzu family may just I have my own little home.

After all, who doesn’t know how to mess up?

What's more, Shimazu Nakano has actually ceded most of his real power to Shimazu Hiromichi, so Shimazu Hiromichi is already the nominal head of the Shimadzu family. Therefore, Shimazu Hiromichi can only be busy in Kagoshima during this period. I have no intention of coming to Osaka to help.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Shimazu Hiromichi should have no reason to be so anxious, and even want to directly kill Shimazu Nakano.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at Shimazu Nakano carefully and found that his haggard appearance did not seem to be fake, and judging from the condition of his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin, it was quite consistent with the appearance of a terminal cancer patient. .

However, Liu Xing still had some suspicions that Shimazu Nakano might be directing and acting on his own, and was preparing a trick to discredit Shimazu Hiromichi, making other members of the Shimadzu family dissatisfied, and forcing Shimadzu Hiromichi to leave directly. After all, there was no family member left. Support, Shimazu Hiromichi is not interesting as the head of the family. It is better to start a new business with some industries and go to other places to re-establish the Shimadzu family.

In this way, Shimazu Nakano, who faked his death, can hide in secret and regain control of the Shimazu family.

If this is the case, then there will be something interesting to watch.

Just when Liu Xing was about to say a few more words, someone said outside the door that representatives from other war zones were already in place, so Liu Xing followed Shimazu Nakano to the conference room.

After everyone took their seats, Shimazu Nakano said: "It's getting late now, so I'll keep the story short. Anyone who agrees to start the final battle early please raise your hand."

Then Liu Xing was a little surprised that everyone here raised their hands without hesitation. This was somewhat different from Liu Xing's previous imagination, because when Liu Xing came, he felt that there should be one or two people who would voted against, and finally passed the proposal to start the war early because the minority obeyed the majority.

"Oh, this result makes me feel a little surprised. I thought some people would choose to oppose this proposal, or abstain from voting. Unexpectedly, everyone still agrees that this proposal is beneficial to our Wu family faction; then we will do the next Let’s discuss another issue, that is, since we are going to start the war early, do we need to change the previous battle plan, such as changing from holding the position to taking the initiative, or inviting you to the urn? "

"I think we can invite you to the urn."

A young man Liu Xing had never seen raised his hand and said: "From the current paper strength, the combat effectiveness of our Wu family faction is stronger than that of the public faction, so if we just stick to it, we will not be able to perform as we should." strength, because the public faction can choose to attack one or two of our points with superior force, and then let others contain the rest of us, so that we may be defeated individually."

Liu Xing deeply agrees with this.

Logically speaking, if the Wu family faction really wants to win, then they should let the elites of each force go to the frontline theater to deploy defenses, so as to ensure that the pressure on the frontline is not as great as it is now.

But again, the Wu family faction is, to put it bluntly, a temporary community of interests. There are certain barriers between each other, so naturally it is impossible to select the elites of each force and send them to the front line, because everyone is worried about their own Elites will be treated as cannon fodder, or they may be betrayed by forces with bad relations and refuse to save their teammates. . . Leave a blank space to express my concern.

Therefore, the distribution plan for each war zone is one of the ten major forces plus a few small and medium-sized forces that have no conflict with them. Therefore, although the strength of the front-line war zones is pretty good, they cannot be said to be very strong, especially when facing the public. When a faction attacks.

Although the public faction as the attacker will face terrain and other disadvantages, it is not difficult for them to concentrate their strength to attack a certain war zone, because the public faction can only attack one war zone at a time, and It is not about attacking the ten war zones of the Wu clan at the same time.

Therefore, it is not difficult for the public faction to gather the elites of various forces to form a main force. Even if the public faction has many internal conflicts, everyone will not mind temporarily cooperating a few times. . . Unless they lose several times in a row, the various forces in the public faction should not fight on their own.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as the Wu family faction can withstand the first few rounds of attacks, they can pop the champagne during the halftime break.

However, this will put a lot of pressure on the several war zones located on the front line, so during the two days of repairs, Liu Xing heard that the leaders of these war zones were working hard with the war zones behind them. relationships to ensure that these theaters can mobilize troops to support them as soon as possible, or to respond when they strategically retreat.

Therefore, according to Ding Kun's previous speculation, several theaters on the front line should begin to retreat directly to the rear to preserve their strength when they find that the battle situation is unfavorable. The advantage of this is that it can ensure that the second line of defense has more sufficient troops.

But in this way, even if the frontline camp is given to the public faction, the public faction will have a supply point and offensive springboard on Mount Fuji, and the next attack will be much easier.

And after that, the second line of defense seems to have been strengthened a lot and can hold on for a longer time. However, because of the lessons learned from the past, this second line of defense may "defeat" in more time, because everyone is Want to preserve strength.

As a result, it may not be long before the Wu family faction can only retreat to the top of Mount Fuji. But by this time, the superior strength of the Wu family faction will not be able to exert its due effect, because the width of the battlefield simply does not allow so many troops. People come on stage at the same time.

In many strategic stand-alone games, there are certain restrictions on the width of the battlefield. For example, P company games allow players to preset the configuration of the legion, which is the proportion of each military branch in a legion; and in games like "Three Kingdoms" In a chess-like game, in certain narrow terrains, even if you dispatch a hundred troops, you can only challenge the opponent one by one.

However, the game that made Liu Xing remember the concept of "battlefield width" most vividly was actually "Nobunaga's Ambition". Because when Liu Xing first played this game, he didn't know that he could manually control the battle, so he just looked at the enemy and ourselves. After the armies met in one place, the numbers on both sides began to decrease.

As a result, one time when Liu Xing was playing with the Takeda family, he first annexed all the daimyo in the east, and then began to organize troops to march westward. As a result, when he assembled an army of tens of thousands to attack the Oda family, he found that he had an army of tens of thousands. The enemy's army suddenly died suddenly, and there were only one or two thousand people on the opposite side. Liu Xing couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only continue to send people to attack. As a result, he failed several times and lost tens of thousands of troops. .

Later, when Liu Xing looked at the map, he suddenly realized that the area he was attacking was actually Okehazama, and the width of the battlefield set for Okehazama in "Nobunaga's Ambition" was only a few hundred people. This means that no matter you No matter how many troops are sent to attack here, there will only be a few hundred people left when entering the battlefield. Therefore, the originally huge military advantage will disappear in an instant, and then the entire army will be disbanded due to the defeat of the main general.

So when all the troops of the Wu Family Faction are concentrated on the top of the mountain, then the original advantages of the Wu Family Faction will not be left at all, and will even become a disadvantage. After all, the Public Faction has the opportunity to hit hundreds of people with a single spell. personal.

"So we'd better give up Mount Fuji first, so that we can attack the city."

At this time, another war zone representative raised his hand and said: "Actually, in this final battle, although the advantage of the defenders seems to be very large, it is actually not worth mentioning at all, so I think the siege team is more suitable for us. .”
