War Is a Strategy Game

Lan's deployment moved unimaginably fast, stunning every observer. Many of the strategists present had conducted in-depth research into World War II and performed countless simulations.

This kind of high-intensity blitzkrieg and all-out advance sent chills down their spines.

Launching a blitzkrieg without knowing the enemy's deployment and advancing regardless of consequences was extremely dangerous. Once their forces were cut off and encircled, the outcome would be dire.

Compared with Lan, Wang Hai's side appeared more steady in its deployment. The Soviet Union was developing, the Eastern Front was established at once, defenses were continuously strengthened, and layers of arrangements were made within their territory.

This was not a war meant to recreate history. World War II was merely the basic background framework of the war model. With different commanders on both sides, what outcome would arise from the same beginning? That was what mattered most.

The use of different unit types, money, population, weather, weapons, technology, and other factors all had to be thoroughly considered. A commander needed an extremely deep understanding of his own strength.

Only then could he capitalize on the advantages of those factors, manage his situation through strategy and tactics, make use of his own conditions for tactical deployments, and strengthen his side's power.

War was a game of management and coordination.

With the same units, weapons, money, technology, population, and terrain, different arrangements could produce entirely different battle outcomes.

Lan's initial deployment speed left the observers in awe.

This was Lan's first time simulating a planetary war. To him, a model of this level was practically a war model from the primitive age. After the Universe Alliance was established, wars between civilizations were mostly wars between planets.

Even ordinary Mech Warriors wearing battle armor could end such a primitive war within days if they
