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

Chapter 124 'Earthlings' Have No Martial Morality! (3k)

Players have already recorded videos of the real-time map changes on the Polaris official website and uploaded them online.

Moreover, all the anchor perspectives from Pearl Harbor were also uploaded.

On the Polaris website, after the in-game attack time ended, a new CG trailer titled "Attack on Pearl Harbor" was uploaded, providing a complete video of the situation.

For a while.

Discussions about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor have dominated trending topics.

The main point of discussion is: what is Japan's purpose in doing this?
Many military experts on Earth couldn't understand this move.

Some even suspect that Japan has ulterior motives for doing this. Even if they don't want to express their opinions for fear of being wrong, the United States has already joined the Allied Powers.

Many netizens had no intention of letting these military experts off the hook, and they all tried to provoke the United States into becoming an ally.

Can't we analyze the clash between the two major powers in the world right now: the Allies and the Axis powers?

no way.

The military experts from Blue Star, who were put on hold, expressed conservative opinions based on their past experience in military chess games or military simulations.

Here.

Inside Xu Jie's live stream.

The live stream interface had changed from the Pearl Harbor live stream I was just watching to Federal Headlines, and his analysis of the battle situation was about the same as everyone else's.

However, there has been considerable discussion online, and even military experts have begun to analyze the situation.

Xu Jie then searched for comments from Blue Star experts with high likes under the hashtag [#PearlHarborAttack]:
"This one has a lot of likes, let me see."

"This expert's analysis is that Japan's goal should be to occupy Pearl Harbor and use it as a springboard to attack the west coast of the American Commonwealth."

"But Japan withdrew its troops immediately after the surprise attack."

"The expert's reasoning was that the Japanese aircraft's range was insufficient due to limitations in technology at the time, and they had to return to refuel."

"They would send a large army to completely occupy Pearl Harbor and hold the American Free Union hostage."

Looking at the comments in the live stream, many people thought it made sense. After all, the distance across the Pacific Ocean is not short, and why would they attack Pearl Harbor if not to control the American Free Federation?

Xu Jie agreed and said:
"Indeed, this analysis is quite interesting."

"After all, we've already launched a sneak attack; we can't just do it for the sake of hitting someone once."

"We have to get something out of this."

As he spoke, Xu Jie continued scrolling down the comments and quickly found another highly-rated comment from a Blue Star military expert:

"From a geographical perspective, the United States is geographically isolated. Japan's surprise attack may have been intended to threaten the United States, and to avoid war on its own soil, the United States is very likely to compromise."

"This feels a bit outrageous, how come there are so many likes?"

"The United States' sphere of influence is larger than Japan's, so why would it be afraid of threats?"

"next."

"Well, based on the data provided by this expert, considering the extent of damage to the American Free Federation battleships at Pearl Harbor and the level of industry in the game, the American Free Federation wants to restore its combat power."

"It will take at least ten years."

"It looks plausible. The data is very complete, and there are screenshots from the Polaris website's CG. It's clear that Pearl Harbor did indeed lose too many warships and aircraft."

"The technology on 'Earth' is still too backward, and it will be very difficult to restore our combat power."

Xu Jie read through the analysis of the Blue Star military experts for a while, and to be honest, he felt that they made some sense.

However, this cannot be confirmed, as it is all just analysis. The specifics will depend on the subsequent developments in the game "World War II: Rise of Empires".

Xu Jie then opened the real-time map on the Polestar website again.

At this moment, the Japanese aircraft formation had just returned to its previous assembly base, and its forces were still continuously regrouping, clearly indicating that there were further actions to be taken.

However, it's not clear yet.

Meanwhile, in the game, it was getting late at night, and the Japanese forces on the real-time map were just beginning to move.

Comments flooded Xu Jie's live stream.

[Hilarious! The first victim of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has been identified! Quick, search the Far East!!!]

Seeing the comments scrolling by, Xu Jie and the viewers in the live stream became interested.

Some impatient viewers immediately left the live stream to search, and seeing the number of viewers drop sharply, Xu Jie quickly said:

"Brothers, don't go!"

"Wait a minute, I'll search for it right away."

As he spoke, he opened Tiansha Live and searched for 'Far East'.

More than a dozen live streaming rooms from the Far East region popped up.

The Far East region had only recently opened up, so there weren't many people there. Xu Jie looked at Fang Ming's live stream, which had the highest viewership, and clicked in.

at this time.

In Fang Ming's live broadcast room.

As the popularity continued to rise, he thanked the viewers for the gifts while explaining the content to them.

Fang Ming pulled up the real-time map from the Polaris official website and was also astonished:
"Who could have imagined that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor?"

"The first victim was the Empire."

Seeing that many new viewers in the live stream were confused and sending question marks, Fang Ming adjusted the live stream angle to show them that he was in a car.

Then, switching back, he explained to the live stream audience:

"Didn't Japan launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor during the day?"

"We received news that evening that Marshal Zhukov had transferred several nearby divisions to the Moscow front." "If you look at the other Far East live broadcasts, they're all on their vehicles; they've all received their transfer orders."

"I always said it's impossible for a business to reopen in the Far East for no reason."

"So that's where you were waiting."

"The Soviet forces in the Far East were on guard against Japan, but after Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Marshal Zhukov, upon learning of this, ordered several divisions to be transferred to Moscow overnight."

"From June to October, only a little over 20,000 troops were deployed to support Moscow."

"But the number of troops mobilized in this one night is equivalent to the number of troops mobilized in the previous four months."

"I estimate that more troops will need to be transferred from the Far East to Moscow."

"Really."

"Who could have imagined that the war in the Pacific would affect the situation in Europe? No military expert could have predicted that."

Fang Ming clicked his tongue in amazement as he spoke, saying it was indeed outrageous.

Everyone was focused on the battle situation in the Pacific, on Pearl Harbor, on the reaction of the American Free Federation, and on Japan's next move.

But who would have thought that the first to be tricked would be the Empire?

After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor during the day, they couldn't even imagine how happy the Soviet Union's leadership must have been, which is why they mobilized Far Eastern troops overnight to support Moscow.

Fang Ming was explaining things to the live stream audience.

Xu Jie, who was watching the live stream, was also dumbfounded:

"I go?"

"Is this still possible?"

Back in the live stream, I brought up the real-time map on the Polaris website, zoomed in to the smallest size, and looked at the spherical 'Earth,' glancing left and right at the locations of Pearl Harbor and Moscow:

"Isn't this almost halfway around the world?"

"The impact is really this far-reaching?"

Indeed, war cannot be analyzed and reasoned using 'normal logic'.

Xu Jie opened the Federation Headlines again, and the comments section of many Blue Star military experts exploded, speculating about the Japan-US Free Federation. It turned out that the first to be affected was the Empire.

The military experts on Blue Star were secretly lamenting as they looked at the real-time map on the Polaris website and the live broadcasts from the Far East.

This game of Gouba has no logic at all.

How could something so far away have an impact on the European battlefield?
And the Soviet response was way too fast!

They bombed this place during the day, and then mobilized troops to support Moscow overnight?
They weren't even given a chance to analyze it.

You should at least wait for Japan to make its next move before you deploy troops!
The military experts on Earth were completely dumbfounded, but little did they know that there's a saying on Earth: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war."
Xu Jie smiled as he looked at the support from the Far East.

After all, the situation in Moscow during this period was still quite evident; the young soldiers and middle-aged men were almost wiped out, and now the fighting started with the elderly and women.

Finally, there's support.

Xu Jie opened a statistics website, which was spontaneously set up by the players.

Using a photonic supercomputer, videos of the Battle of Moscow were captured online. Based on the video analysis and statistics, the number of people killed in the videos was determined.

At this moment, the large screen in the center of the website displays:
"Soviet: 458772 people"

"Empire: 178277 people"

The numbers are still rising. These are the number of people captured by the photon supercomputer from the internet, after removing duplicates and compiling the data.

The Soviet Union has suffered over 400,000 casualties, according to statistics from the video alone, while the Reich suffered 170,000 casualties.

And that's not all, because this is only the video that could be captured. In places where there is no video, who knows how many more have died.

The actual number of dead and injured is certainly far greater than the current statistics.

Xu Jie glanced at it and said:
"The Soviet side has suffered more than 10,000 more casualties than yesterday."

"I hope the support arrives soon."

"The number of casualties is almost equal to the population of my small city."

"In Moscow alone, almost an entire city's worth of people have died here."

Xu Jie shook his head.

Then a new game, "Battle of Moscow," was started. After entering the game, the screen still showed old people and women as always, but fortunately, Xu Jie was mentally prepared.

After all, the support from the Far East has only just begun and will take some time to arrive.

Xu Jie directed the elderly and women to build defensive fortifications. They weren't concerned with how long they could hold off the empire; they were just trying to buy themselves a second.

Fortunately, the night was uneventful.

The Empire's offensive momentum has been temporarily halted due to the cold weather.

Wait until you exit the game.

Upon opening the real-time map, Xu Jie realized that a day had passed in the game, and Japan had also taken action.

However, judging from his attack route, Xu Jie's expression was strange.

The faces of all military experts on Earth are probably going to be slapped in the face for their bold speculations about the American Free Federation compromising, Japan occupying Pearl Harbor and attacking the American Free Federation homeland, and so on.

None of it happened.

On the contrary, the United States, the Commonwealth of Nations, issued a declaration of war against Japan the very next day.

Meanwhile, Japan did not occupy Pearl Harbor.

Instead, they turned around and went to fight the British Commonwealth forces in Southeast Asia.
