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

Chapter 120 Let's teach 'Earthlings' a lesson! (3.8k views)

While watching the chat in the live stream, Fang Ming brought up the introduction to the [Order of the Patriotic War of Moscow].

Moscow Order of the Patriotic War

This was a war concerning the survival of the Soviet Federation, and also the Reich's first defeat.

【.】

[After the war, the casualties on both sides reached about 150 million (about 50 casualties in the Empire and about 100 million casualties in the Soviet Union)]

[Note: During the Battle of Moscow, he led his squad in a guerrilla war, persisted for 15 days, and led his squad to break through the encirclement of the Imperial Armored Forces.]

[Achievement conditions: 15/15 (days)]

【Note: We must stop the imperial army. We have no way to retreat! Because behind us is our Moscow.】

[This medal is one of the three medals required for players to be selected into the Hall of Fame.]

A smile involuntarily appeared on Fang Ming's face, but his tone was also tinged with grief and indignation:

"Bros!"

"15 days! Do you know how those 15 days went by?!"

"Finally finished!!!"

Looking at the medal's description of the war's casualties of over 15 million, Fang Ming had no real sense of the scale, but those 150 days of guerrilla warfare were truly difficult.

I persevered for half the time, then it started snowing heavily. After fighting the Imperial forces for so many days in temperatures of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, I finally managed to complete the task on the last day.

However, given the current situation, there's clearly no way to escape it.

Fang Ming tried to move his body, but he had no feeling in his lower body. Blood was flowing from the bullet holes in his legs, which had stained the white snow on the surrounding ground red.

far away.

The sounds of Imperial soldiers searching and military dogs barking were getting closer. Fang Ming reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes with trembling hands.

Fang Ming took out a match and put it in his mouth, while reaching for a match with his other hand:

"I saw a video yesterday, a guy looked pretty cool before charging into a tank. Remember to record it for me from multiple angles later, capturing that calm and collected feeling of facing death."

boom--!
A gunshot rang out, and Fang Ming paused in his movements.

A bloody hole appeared on his neck, and he involuntarily made a 'hoarse' sound in his throat. Then his body fell to the right and he became completely still.

In the live broadcast room.

Fang Ming's vision went black, and he returned to the main interface.

The cold, numb sensation in my body instantly disappeared, and I returned to normal.
"rough?!"

"Damn it, what happened to calmly facing death?!"

"These imperial soldiers have no martial ethics."

"Why did you just fire?"

Barrages of comments floated across the live broadcast room.

[Hilarious! You think this is a movie? You think you can show off?]

Be grateful. Giving you a single shot was already a mercy. You led that small group of men and kept the Imperial soldiers at bay for so many days. If you had been caught, you would have been beaten to a pulp.

That's right, if I were searching for your Imperial soldiers, I'd beat you up eight times a day if I caught you.

[When they light a cigarette and charge at a tank, they're hiding in the trenches, so the Imperial soldiers don't see them. But you're smoking right in front of them; of course they're going to shoot you.]

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Fang Ming could only sigh:

"Movies are all lies."

There's no such thing as mutual respect on the battlefield; when you actually meet someone, it's just one shot and they're gone.

Think about it too.

He had spent half a month dealing with the Empire's people. If he were to search for such an enemy, he would definitely fire a shot the moment he met him.

Fang Ming shook his head and then opened the [Medal Library].

Several medals have already been lit up, all earned in-game during this period, including those from the Battle of Kiev and the Battle of Britain.

However, these are all small badges; the main ones are the Order of Normandy Landings and the Order of the Patriotic War of Moscow.

If I can get another Order of Stalingrad, I can enter the Hall of Fame and be listed alongside other World War II heroes.

Looking at the two badges that had already been activated, Fang Ming spoke up:

"I wonder what the difficulty level of the remaining [Order of Stalingrad] challenge will be."

As he spoke, Fang Ming clicked on the unactivated [Order of Stalingrad].

Order of Stalingrad

This unprecedented and brutal urban warfare in the history of World War II earned it the nickname "the meat grinder of World War II."

【.】

【.】

[Note: During the Battle of Stalingrad, he led a 50-man commando team, using the ruins to engage in fierce street fighting with the Imperial Army, delaying the Imperial Army's advance and surviving for more than 10 days.]

[Achievement conditions: 0/10 (days)]

[Note: Ura! For Stalin! For the Motherland!]

[This medal is one of the three medals required for players to be selected into the Hall of Fame.]

Looking at the medal's description, Fang Ming clicked his tongue in amazement:
"The casualties are even higher than in the Battle of Moscow. The title 'meat grinder' is quite frightening, but the challenge lasts a third less. We just need to hold on for 10 days."

"And he can also lead a 50-man commando team."

"If these assault team members are all veterans, then holding out for 10 days shouldn't be a problem, after all, it's equivalent to a reinforced platoon."

"It's much easier than being here in Moscow with a dozen men, being chased and beaten by the Imperial armored forces."

Fang Ming was analyzing the situation along with the viewers in the live stream.

[Normandy Landing Medal] You'll eventually find some good teammates and complete it after dying dozens of times.

However, among all the challenges to the "Order of the Patriotic War in Moscow" across the entire internet, there are probably not many successful ones yet, and Fang Ming even started the challenge right at the beginning.

It hasn't snowed for half the time, and the temperature isn't below -20 or -30 degrees Celsius.

Now, players starting a new game are directly in freezing cold, with temperatures dropping to minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, and are being hunted down by Imperial armored forces, soldiers, and military dogs.

It's almost impossible to accomplish, let alone in November.

Players who want to try it in December or January will probably freeze to death the moment they enter the game.

Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh as he talked to the live stream audience, his mind filled with images of players frozen in shock. This [Moscow Patriotic Medal] challenge was truly difficult.

From this perspective, the Order of Stalingrad should be easier to obtain.

Can it be compared to the Russian guerrilla warfare in the wilderness at minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, where the armored empire is insane for half a month?
After a sigh, Fang Ming came back to his senses.

Then he took a screenshot of his "Order of the Patriotic War in Moscow" and posted it to his Tiansha Live account space and the Federation's Toutiao account.

Fang Ming then stretched and said to the live stream:
"Brothers, we've been fighting all night."

"Let me go take a nap first."

"I'm just one medal away from being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Tonight, I'll analyze the battle situation and see when the Empire's front line will reach Stalingrad."

"Then we'll continue with the opening match in Moscow."

"After being chased for half a month, I have to go in and wreak havoc."

After saying that, he quickly went offline to catch up on sleep.

Having spent half a month in guerrilla warfare in the field, Fang Ming was still completely unaware of the situation on the Moscow front, fantasizing about commanding his troops to wreak havoc.
On the other side, in Mo Xiaomo's live stream room.

"What? It's gone again???"

"Isn't that a regiment's worth of soldiers?!"

"Why so fast?!"

Listening to the report on the other end of the phone, Mo Xiaomo stared at the map in a frantic state:

"How can the Imperial infantry be so monstrous?!"

Mo Xiaomo initially thought that the severe cold and heavy snow would slow down the Empire's armored forces, making the battle easier. However, after the Soviet Federation transferred troops, she discovered that this was not the case at all.

The intensity of the battle was too high.

The number of Earth players under her command is not even enough to fill the gaps.

In just three days, an entire regiment was wiped out by the Empire's artillery fire and air raids.

If we look at the entire front...

According to the description on the Order of the Patriotic War of Moscow, the Soviet Union suffered over a million casualties in the end, which averages out to the size of an entire regiment every day during that period.

It's outrageous!
The key issue is that, given the current situation, Mo Xiaomo has no good solutions, as the Soviet Union will not provide her with additional troops.

The troops she added were all Blue Star players, but those who could become regular soldiers were all newbies.

So the food is sent up and 'rapidly consumed,' then replenished, and then it's 'rapidly consumed' again—it's a vicious cycle.

the other side.

On the Empire's side...

Cheng Yu, the brigade commander and streamer who had previously fought against Mo Xiaomo, also received orders from the Empire to be sent to the front lines to fight against the Soviet Federation.

However, it's a bit later than Mo Xiaomo's time.

So when Cheng Yu saw Mo Xiaomo getting beaten up by the Imperial NPCs, he even gloated for a while.

However, after his troops were transferred to the front lines and after several days of fighting, Cheng Yu was a little confused.

boom--!
boom--!
Outside the camp, Soviet artillery fire relentlessly bombarded the positions of Cheng Yu's armored brigade, with some even hitting the armored tanks.

Cheng Yu hurriedly directed the evacuation of his personnel, and he himself was forced to retreat to the rear of the battle line after getting into the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Blue Star players who didn't have time to leave, or the armored vehicles that hadn't been activated, were either captured or dealt with by the Soviet Federation's NPC soldiers who rushed in.

Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu couldn't help but look back:

"What the hell."

"How can the Soviet Federation's fighting power be so formidable?!"

"This is terrible!"

Previously, viewers in both live streams would watch each other's streams because they were competing against each other.

But now, looking at the scene of Cheng Yu being brutally beaten...

The viewers in the live stream gradually noticed something was wrong. Why were the streamers from the Soviet Federation camp getting beaten up on one side, and the streamers from the Empire camp on the other side getting beaten up on the other?
There are only two camps in total, so why are they both getting beaten up?

No?

Why am I a little confused?

Let's take a closer look.
The Imperial faction's streamers are getting beaten up, and the Soviet Federation's streamers are getting beaten up—isn't that still wrong?

What's the problem?!

After thinking for a while, the viewers in the live stream remembered.

Previously, it was just two weaklings fighting each other, but now they've been transferred to fight the opposing 'Earth' native NPC forces. Those 'Earthlings' are just too monstrous!

Upon realizing this, viewers in the live stream began flooding the chat with comments.

[Don't back down, streamer! Show these 'Earthlings' what's what! Prove that we Earthlings aren't pushovers!]

[Exactly! They're just 'NPCs'! They can't possibly beat us real people, can they? Let's brainstorm and even use the full map (real-time map), how could we not handle them?]

[Getting abused like this by an NPC? People would laugh their heads off if they knew!]

[The streamer turned around! Catching them completely off guard!!!]

Cheng Yu watched the comments section and couldn't help but curse under his breath.

It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Try letting yourself be bombarded and see what happens!

"Hurry up!"

"Speed ​​up!!!"

The live stream chat was filled with sarcastic comments.

[The streamer is such a coward, he doesn't deserve to be a human!]

This is so embarrassing; I've brought shame to myself even in the game.

[Luckily, those 'Earthlings' were NPCs, otherwise the streamer would have been laughed at so badly.]

Cheng Yu, watching the comments, couldn't help but want to say something, "I'm a coward."
whoosh-

The whistling of artillery shells echoed through the sky as the convoy had just sped a few hundred meters ahead.

Boom boom boom! ! !

It was hit by a round of artillery fire.

In the pitch-black live stream room, only Cheng Yu's sentence appeared:
"rough!"

in the afternoon.

After fermenting for most of the day.

Players who chose to challenge the medal missions on the first day of the Battle of Moscow have already started showing off their newly acquired Order of the Patriotic War Medals.

There are at least 300 people scattered across the internet so far.

It looks like quite a lot.

However, according to data from Polaris's backend, there are over 14 million players from the six federations participating in the "Battle of Moscow".

More than 800,000 people are also challenging for the Order of the Patriotic War in Moscow.

However, so far, only a little over three hundred people have succeeded.

Although hundreds of thousands of people are still involved, at this rate, not many will actually achieve their goals, especially as Moscow enters December and January.

That was already around -40 degrees Celsius.

In that situation, guerrilla warfare would be impossible; you'd freeze to death in a single night. Zhao Ming estimated that by the end, there would be around 1,800 to 1,000 players across the entire network who would have received the "Order of the Patriotic War of Moscow."

Although it looks like a lot.

However, if we're going to put them in the Hall of Fame, there are still too many.

Therefore, the last medal is the Order of Stalingrad, which is several times more difficult to obtain than the Order of the Patriotic War in Moscow.

If thousands of people can receive the Order of the Patriotic War in Moscow, then it would be good if only a few people received the Order of Stalingrad, or perhaps none at all.

As for why, it's because Zhao Ming is currently designing a dungeon of the Battle of Stalingrad.

According to the exchanged information, Zhao Ming is navigating the buildings within the instance:
"Kitchen. Imperial soldiers, living room. Soviet soldiers."

"Two Soviet soldiers will be placed on the third floor, and two Reich soldiers will be placed on the second floor."

Two people were hiding in the entryway.
