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

Chapter 122 The Sudden Pacific War (3.2k)

Fang Ming picked up the document on the table, looked at the text on it, and then looked up at the large map in the command room.

It is indeed the Far East region.

The Moscow battlefield is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here, so how did they manage to drive it here?
Or is there some connection between this place and Moscow?
Fang Ming spent some time flipping through the documents in the command room.

After a while.

Sitting at his desk, holding several documents and materials, he showed them to the live stream audience:

"Brothers, we've found the problem."

"Look at this document."

Fang Ming pointed to the command on the document and said:
"This document contains the troop transfer order from the Soviet side, which is heading towards Moscow."

"But it doesn't seem to be my current unit."

"Because the transfer order was issued in October, and it's already mid-November now."

"So, there might be a hidden storyline triggered later on my end?"

"Otherwise, why would I drive it to the Far East?"

As he spoke, Fang Ming shook his head, put down the file, and took out the materials at the back:
"But I did discover something else interesting."

Fang Ming laid out the materials in his hand and displayed them in the live broadcast room.

The document above contains the Soviet Federation's analysis and war preparedness plans, which Fang Ming is interpreting:

"The Soviet troops in the Far East were mainly there to defend against Japan, which was an ally of the Axis powers and the Empire."

"Currently, the Empire and the Soviet Federation are engaged in a tug-of-war in Europe."

"And in the Far East, we're close to the American Commonwealth and Japan. Currently, Japan is aggressively invading other countries in Asia and Southeast Asia, while the Soviet Union has roughly... Holy crap?!"

"A force of over a million men?!"

"hiss--"

Fang Ming gasped in surprise, never expecting that there were still over a million troops in the Far East that hadn't been deployed.

The live stream chat was flooded with question marks, with viewers bewildered by the analysis, combat readiness plans, and general troop deployment details in the documents.

What's the point of the Empire fighting? There are just too many people.

[The unused reserves numbered over a million, more than the Polish army before its collapse.]

[If these more than one million men are sent to support the European battlefield, the empire will collapse.]

I have a feeling the Empire has fallen into a trap. Its military campaign against the Soviet Union was a real miscalculation.

I was a little worried about the Soviet Union before, but now the empire is finished.

Seeing the astonished comments in the live stream, Fang Ming snapped out of his daze, pulled up the real-time map, and took a look:
"These more than one million people are mainly there to guard against Japan."

"But isn't Japan preparing to use force in the Pacific?"

"There should be no intention to use force against the Soviets."

"Pity."

"The Soviet Federation doesn't know this, otherwise, if the troops from the Far East were transferred to Moscow, they might have pushed back."

Japan is currently amassing a large military presence in the Pacific.

It was clearly a move against the American Free Federation, but it was all done in secret, without even the American Free Federation in the Pacific being aware of it, let alone the Soviet Union, which was locked in a stalemate with the Empire.

Therefore, from a third-person perspective, it was truly a pity that the Soviets left such a large force unused.

However, it's useless for a mere brigade commander to say anything, especially since someone has to believe him. If you say Japan is going to attack the American Free Federation in the Pacific, does that mean Japan will attack the American Free Federation?
It's pointless to say anything until something actually happens.

After all, who could have imagined that Japan would attack the Pacific?

Fang Ming shook his head and sighed again:
"Pity."

Such a large force cannot be moved, otherwise the situation on the European front would be much better.

Done.

Fang Ming also took a look at Japan's deployment in the Pacific.

Try to put yourself in the current position of various countries in the world and think about it.

To be honest, no one expected Japan to attack the Pacific at this time. Even the military experts on Earth couldn't figure out why this situation would send a huge neutral country to the other side.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Fang Ming then introduced the remaining documents, which were mostly orders issued by the Soviet Union to troops in the Far East. Looking at a few of the orders, Fang Ming said:

"Not all of them are stationed in the Far East."

"From June to around October, the Soviet Union transferred several troops from the Far East, totaling less than 20,000 men."

"It's still rather conservative."

"That's all the information we have in the command center for now. I'll go take a look outside."

"My unit should be an infantry brigade."

After explaining the collected information, Fang Ming decided to go outside and got up to walk towards the door.

However, as soon as the door opened...

The howling, cold wind lashed my face.

wow-

The documents on the table inside the room were blown all over the place.

Fang Ming was blown back two steps by the wind, feeling the cold blade scraping against his face. He instantly sobered up, slammed the door shut, shook his head, and took a moment to calm down.

"rough?!"

"It's even colder here than in Moscow!"

"I'll look for some useful information indoors."

Fang Ming returned to the command room and continued flipping through the documents.

the other side.

Inside Xu Jie's live stream.

Xu Jie, who also went to bed early in the morning, had caught up on sleep throughout the day.

Now fully energized, I entered the game and started the live stream.

The story video "To: Everyone Has Gone to the Front Lines," uploaded before catching up on sleep this morning, has topped the video view count chart on TianSha Live.

The resulting surge in viewership was obvious; less than three minutes after Xu Jie started his broadcast, over 200,000 people had already flooded into his live stream.

While thanking the viewers for their gifts in the live stream, Xu Jie followed their suggestions and browsed the Polaris official website, where he found the latest announcement.

"The Hall of Fame effect is like a permanently free advertisement."

"Whoever gets this will be set for life."

"The streamer? I won't do the challenge. I've seen those streams where people challenge the [Moscow Patriot] Medal mission, they're too insane."

"I don't have that ability, I'd better just stick to the storyline."

Let's start with a game of "The Battle of Moscow".

While chatting with viewers in the live stream, Xu Jie also clicked the "Battle of Moscow" button.

The screen flashed briefly, then gradually brightened.

He found himself in a makeshift command post. Turning his head, he saw that his position was still that of a regimental commander, but the situation now seemed even more difficult than it had been before he went to bed that morning.

Last night, at least they assigned regular troops, even though they were wiped out in one night, they were still regular troops.

but now
This looks like the command post of some militia group.

That feels a bit tragic.

With a bad feeling in his heart, Xu Jie walked out of the command post. It was already evening outside, and the faint sound of artillery fire could be heard.

As Xu Jie stepped out of the command post, a trench came into view.

This is clearly the front-line command center.

When they saw Xu Jie come out, the soldiers in the trenches called out to him as "commander," but it was all in jest, and they obviously didn't take Xu Jie, their commander, seriously.

Xu Jie could only nod and force a smile. After surveying the area, he returned to the command post, a chill running down his spine.
"Most of these NPCs are local militia members, and the majority of them are in their fifties or sixties."

"Fighting against the soldiers of the Empire with a hunting rifle."

This kind of force is used entirely as a expendable resource, and may not even be used for very long.

A group of Soviet men in their fifties and sixties who knew they were going to die but faced it calmly—how much respect could one expect from their superior, Xu Jie?

These people should know what the outcome will be.

So Xu Jie stopped expecting to command them and let them improvise; maybe it would have some unexpected results.

Xu Jie then found the map in the command room.

Then, I opened the 'real-time map' on the Polestar website in the live stream room and started to check my current location to see if I could find any useful information.

a few days later.

Inside Xu Jie's live stream.

The screen went dark. Xu Jie paused for a moment on the main interface, then sighed.

"Dead again."

"This intensity is too high."

Although only a week had passed in reality, more than half a month had passed in the game. In just this half month of battle, Xu Jie's side had died three times.

I originally thought it would be the first time at the start of the game.

It was already quite difficult for a team composed of Soviet men in their fifties and sixties.

Fortunately, they were all experienced hunters.

I followed the Imperial guerrillas for almost a week.

And in the second start.

The Soviet Federation NPC in the group has gotten a little older.

Moreover, the team included many civilians whose marksmanship was far inferior to that of the veteran hunters. This team only lasted for three days.

Until yesterday's third start.

The game time had already entered early December, and the weather was even colder. Not only that, the team consisted only of elderly people and some women.

In just three games, only half a month has passed in the game.

However, the changes in the past two weeks have revealed a lot. Xu Jie was watching a video of himself before he died in battle, and the old people and women around him were still firing guns at the Imperial soldiers.

One shell and you're done for.

"The troops on the Moscow side are almost wiped out."

The young soldiers are nowhere to be seen. There were some old hunters at the beginning of the game, but after half a month of fighting, these experienced old hunters were also wiped out.

Only some civilians and elderly people remained.

Many women have already joined the ranks.

Xu Jie estimated that if the fighting continued like this, by the end of December, all the women in Moscow would be gone.
"This situation is a bit difficult."

"Unfortunately, although there are quite a few troops in the Far East, they are being deployed to defend against Japan, and we can't get them all out."

Xu Jie opened the real-time map on the Polaris official website. He had heard recently that there were quite a few troops in the Far East, and many streamers had also started their streams there.

But the distance is too far, and we also have to guard against Japan, so we can't make any adjustments.

There is no way to resolve Moscow's predicament.

Xu Jie opened the real-time map and suddenly noticed something was wrong:

"Ok?"

On the miniature real-time map, the deep red representing the Axis powers has been extended by a red line that extends into the light blue sphere of influence of the American Free Federation across the Pacific.

It looks like a red dagger plunged into the Pacific Ocean.

Moreover, the red dagger continued to move, plunging deeper into the Pacific Ocean.

Xu Jie and the viewers in the live stream immediately perked up:

"They've made their move?!"

I immediately started searching for live streams from the American Free Federation.

Several island names quickly popped up. Xu Jie took a look and found that the most popular one was a live stream labeled Pearl Harbor.

Meanwhile, Xu Jie was looking at the real-time map.

Japan's attack is heading straight for Pearl Harbor, and they are almost there.
