We promised to develop a game called Candy Crush, what the hell is the Third Reich?

Chapter 116 [Pacific Battlefield] Light Up, Ambush?! (3k)

The viewers in the live stream couldn't bear to watch.

[If ranked by the severity of the ordeal, the streamers who challenged the "Order of the Moscow Patriotic War" mission would definitely have had the worst experience.]

Is this task even humanly possible?

Why do I see streamers from the Imperial and Soviet factions acting differently, and some even seem quite relaxed?

[Because they're not the same. This streamer is directly confronting the Empire NPCs, while what you're talking about are other streamers' matches, just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.]

Indeed, the battlefields where the streamers are fighting have all ceased hostilities, except for the NPCs of the Empire and the Soviet Union who are still fighting along the entire front.

The 'Earthlings' in this game are really ruthless; they're fighting even in temperatures of minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius.

Fang Ming's voice trembled as he watched the comments:

"If someone gives me a cup of hot milk tea right now, I'll call them Dad. I'm freezing."

"Why did it suddenly start snowing?"

Although it was warm before the snow, it got really cold after the snow. The first half of last night was okay, but by the second half the night the cold wind was biting. I managed to stay awake all night, otherwise I would have frozen to death like the other streamers.

Sudden.

The roar of bombers overhead filled the air, and Fang Ming's expression changed as he looked at the bonfire in front of him.
"rough!"

He suddenly stood up, grabbed the two remaining teammates, and dragged them away into the distance.

Before I had run twenty meters, the roaring sound from the sky was already approaching, and then...

whoosh-

The shrill whistling of falling bombs echoed.

Click, click, click.

The shell landed on a pine branch, breaking the branch as it fell.

boom--! ! !
It crashed into a thick tree branch and exploded.

The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards, sending countless pine branches flying. Fang Ming and two Soviet soldiers fell to the ground, with branches constantly falling on their heads, almost burying them.

After a while.

As the shock of the explosion slowly dissipated, Fang Ming pushed aside the branches covering him, got up, and pulled two soldiers to their feet.
"Come on."

"We can't stay here any longer."

After saying that, he stepped through the snow in the woods and headed east.

Terrible.

They get bombed just for trying to keep warm, but if they don't try to keep warm, they'll freeze to death.

Under these circumstances, Fang Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. When would this ever end?!

Looking down from a high altitude.

At this moment, Fang Ming, accompanied by two soldiers, and the three of them walked unsteadily through the snow towards Moscow in the east.

Meanwhile, to the west of the forest, imperial troops were slowly encircling the area without stopping for a moment.

at this time.

The most comfortable place on the entire front should be the battlefield that was just divided up at the beginning.

Players from the opposing Imperial and Soviet factions ceased fighting due to the heavy snow and stayed in their respective bases, warming themselves by the fire.

Cheng Yu, the streamer holding the position of brigade commander on the Empire side.

He was squatting by the tank, feeling extremely frustrated as he watched it refuse to start.

"Isn't this wrong?"

"Why is it that the Imperial NPCs are still fighting, but our tanks can't start?"

The people around were also confused, not knowing what was going on.

One player, a repairman, inspected the equipment and discovered the problem:
"The temperature is too low."

"The lubricating oil and antifreeze failed, and the engine was frozen, in other words, it was all ruined."

These words left all the players on Earth completely dumbfounded.

Cheng Yu was also stunned, and said:
"It's only around minus 20 degrees Celsius?"

"Even if you throw the toy car outside, it won't freeze."

At this point, Cheng Yu stopped talking.

md.

This is not Earth.

The reason why even toy cars can survive temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius on Earth is because Earth uses advanced technology and materials.

But that's not to the point.
Who would have thought that such a large tank could freeze and break down due to temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius? It's simply outrageous.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask:
"How could this be?"

"I see that the tanks can still be started on other fronts of the Imperial camp."

The repairman player said helplessly:
"They can move because they never stopped."

"The battle is still ongoing."

"We left it there as soon as it snowed, and it's been frozen for so long, it's already damaged by the cold."

Seeing this, Cheng Yu had no choice but to speak up:

"Ok."

There's no way to fix it, and there's nowhere to wait.

This battlefield was designated by Polaris for them to fight amongst themselves, and there was absolutely no support.

Cheng Yu was also a bit frustrated. It was bad enough that the armored vehicles couldn't move out in the heavy rain and would get stuck in the mud, but after finally waiting for the ground to freeze, the tanks froze and broke. What kind of quality is this?!

He shook his head and returned to the command room.

At this moment, everyone in the command room was very relaxed, playing cards, looking at maps, and doing whatever else they wanted.

The Slavic Federation player who had told him earlier that it might snow was currently wrapped in a quilt, squatting in front of the fireplace to keep warm, looking as if he wanted to hug the fireplace. Cheng Yu's lips twitched, and he walked over curiously and asked:
"Aren't you from the Slavic Federation?"

"Is it that cold?"

The Slavic Federation player nodded:

"it's too cold."

"I thought I was very resistant to the cold, but I'm only just realizing it now."

"It's not that I'm resistant to the cold."

"The heating facilities on Earth are so complete and so good."

"I almost froze to death last night."

"Damn, why is this game so cold?"

"They're still fighting in this cold weather; those NPCs must have gone mad."

Cheng Yu nodded in deep agreement.

md
The tanks are frozen solid, but the NPCs on 'Earth' are still fighting; their flesh-based bodies are more durable than tanks.

Cheng Yu also brought over a stool and squatted down by the stove to warm himself.

On the other side of the battlefield.

The troops brought by Mo Xiaomo were in the command room.

Last night, I was planning to launch a surprise attack on the other side while the snow was falling, but I was forced to come back as soon as I stepped out because of the cold. There weren't many warm clothes in the main camp, and the temperature outside was so low that I could only stay inside to keep warm.

But looking at the real-time map on the Polaris website...

The Empire and the Soviet Union are still locked in combat, and there are other live-streamed battles. Many of these live-streams are on the front lines and can clearly see the soldiers of both sides.

Because of the sudden heavy snow, no one had a cotton-padded coat.

Wearing thermal underwear, they charged forward in the freezing wind, which was more than 20 degrees below zero.

Mo Xiaomo also expressed a similar sentiment:
"Earthlings are tougher."

After expressing her amazement, Mo Xiaomo brought up the real-time map of the Polaris official website in the live stream.

Looking at the map now.

The imperial forces had already approached Moscow.

However, the Red Square parade did have an effect. The Empire couldn't push through that short distance, and the Soviet Union showed unimaginable resilience.

Mo Xiaomo studied it for a while when suddenly a barrage of comments appeared.

[Hey anchor, look at the Pacific region! It's lit up there!]

The others were displaying confused comments, while Mo Xiaomo saw the following:

"what?"

"Wait, let me take a look."

After saying that, he immediately zoomed out the real-time map in front of him, shrinking it to cover the entire Earth, and then slid it to the Pacific Ocean.

"what?"

"It's really lit up?!"

at this time.

The entire Pacific theater has lost its gray cover.

All the islands, along with their markings, were clearly displayed to everyone in the live stream.

However, unlike the color divisions of the Imperial and Soviet camps in the European and North African theaters.

The Pacific Theater region at this time.

Most of the areas were light blue. Mo Xiaomo clicked on an island, and information about the island popped up.

Pearl Harbor Naval Base (Hawaii)

[Affiliation: United States Liberal Union (Neutral)]

[Brief Introduction: Pearl Harbor Naval Base is the command center of the United States Navy for the Pacific theater, serving as the headquarters for all fleets in the Pacific theater.]

[Function: Provides ship repair, replenishment, submarine maintenance, and strategic command support; it is the region with the highest concentration of U.S. federal submarines in the Pacific.]

Then there's another part, along the Pacific coast.

The region was the same color as the Axis powers in Europe, but when Mo Xiaomo clicked on it, it didn't show the Empire, but rather Japan, which was similar to the Kingdom of Italy and was also an Axis power like the Empire.

A pop-up window displayed information about a Japanese naval base.

While Japan's military strength may not appear as strong as that of the United States, a closer look at the map reveals that Japan is currently amassing forces in the Pacific region. The moving red dots on the map represent individual fleets.

With the Pacific theater now open.

The sphere of influence of the United States Free Federation also appears on the world map, and it seems to be quite large. It remains neutral and has not participated in any battles.

The color range of Japan, also illuminated, reveals that it occupies a significant portion of Southeast Asia.

At this point, almost the entire 'Earth' except for the Asia-Pacific theater at its core was lit up, and could be roughly divided into three camps: the crimson of the Axis powers, the dark blue of the Allied powers, and the light blue of the neutral United States Free Federation.

From Europe to Africa, and from Africa to Asia, the crimson of the Axis powers could be seen spreading across the world.

At this point, netizens on Earth gained a clear understanding of the so-called 'world war'. Currently, only the United States Free Federation is not yet at war; all other regions are engaged in conflict.

Mo Xiaomo was scrolling through the 'real-time map' looking around and noticed those moving red dots:
"Eh?"

Why is Japan amassing military forces in the Pacific?

Mo Xiaomo pointed to the small red dot that was slowly moving on the real-time map, clicked on the information, and it was either the Japanese xx fleet or the Japanese xx aircraft formation.

At this time, they are slowly gathering towards the islands in the Pacific region.

Meanwhile, the American Free Federation in the Pacific was completely unaware. Zooming in on any naval base revealed soldiers relaxing leisurely, a stark contrast to the forces gathering on the other side. Mo Xiaomo looked at the map and said to the live stream:
"Is Japan planning to attack the American Commonwealth?"

"The situation on the Empire's side is already at a stalemate, and now a new battlefield is being opened here? There's no announcement on the Polaris website, is it because it hasn't started yet?"
