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

Chapter 243 [Earth's Landscape, the First Signs of the Cold War] (4.1k)

at this time.

TianSha Live Streaming Platform.

Inside Feng Hao's live stream.

As the [Battlefield Against the US Federation] has been open for longer, more and more Blue Star streamers and players have been randomly assigned the identity of the Volunteer Army.

Feng Hao was randomly assigned the identity of a volunteer soldier on the front lines.

The fifth campaign has now ended.

In the storyline, under the leadership of the Soviet Union, the United States and the Republic began negotiations.

However, although negotiations have begun.

However, the fighting did not stop. Small-scale conflicts continued, and the wartime division-level battles were reduced to small-scale battles at the platoon and squad level, with the fighting ending and the retreat taking place.

boom--

boom--

The distant cannon fire was intermittent, not as intense as before, and the fighting there was clearly not as fierce as it had been.

After the battle, Feng Hao's platoon was ordered to garrison this nameless hill.

In less than a week, they had already repelled two waves of enemies.

However, the number of combat personnel has also decreased by one-third.

After a while.

The distant cannon fire stopped.

Feng Hao spoke into the live stream:
"The US federal government should have finished bombing today."

"The gunfire has stopped."

"Tsk, what a big spender."

"The fighting has gone on for so long, the US federal government has dropped so many bombs, and they're still bombing every day."

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Feng Hao said:
"fighting?"

"The position I'm defending isn't on a necessary route, so unless the US federal government launches a large-scale operation, they won't come here again."

"The current situation is much less intense than during the 'Five Battles'."

"Basically, the fighting is being carried out in squads and platoons, and the casualties are not as high as before."

"If you go back to the category page now, you'll see that many live streams are having small-scale battles."

"Although the casualties are not as high as before, the cumulative number of casualties from so many small-scale battles is probably not small."

"The current difficulty lies in resupply."

"Currently, while the U.S. federal ground forces have ceased operations, the air forces have not."

"Someone has done the statistics."

"Based on the number of times bombers flew over in live broadcasts from different locations, the US federal government is currently scrambling more than 300 bombers per day."

"Compared to the more than 3000 sorties during the war, this is only one-tenth of the number."

"However, all of these 300-plus sorties were aimed at bombing the rear supply lines of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army."

"The problem on the front lines is still the difficulty in resupply."

Feng Hao was talking about the front-line situation of the Volunteer Army's positions. Although there were no large-scale conflicts, small-scale skirmishes continued.

Moreover, logistics is also a major problem.

However, netizens on Blue Star saw what happened later in other live streams.

Resupply is indeed difficult.

However, the Volunteer Army had already organized a large force of railway troops, who were repairing the railway lines every day, and the number of people was increasing. Although the method was rather clumsy, it was still effective.

Feng Hao was speaking at the time.

whoosh-

The sharp sound of artillery shells echoed in the sky.

"What the hell?!"

boom! ! !
"Take cover! Take cover!"

"Damn those foreign devils have no martial ethics!"

"How come there are still some?!"

the other side.

Within the TianSha live streaming platform.

A streamer who wasn't involved in the "battle against the US federal forces" saw a surge in popularity during their livestream.

Not because of anything else.

Rather, it's because in his [single-player story mode], he is a translator for the United States, accompanying high-ranking military officials from the United States into a negotiation meeting.

However, the negotiation process did not go very smoothly.

They've gone this far.

Although negotiations were facilitated by various parties, the US federal government was not satisfied and, having suffered such heavy losses, had no intention of easily agreeing to talks.

The opinions and conditions put forward by various countries were all rejected by the US federal government.

Even the Blue Star player who was playing the role of translator was a little confused. Was this really a plan to negotiate?
The negotiations are progressing slowly.

The two sides reached a stalemate. The Blue Star players, watching the negotiation meeting, also noticed that as the negotiations stalled, the battlefield on the peninsula began to become tense again.

The US federal government began to mobilize large quantities of transport and supplies to replenish the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula.

same.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army was also actively preparing for war.

It seems like the next second.

The two sides would then engage in a large-scale battle.

As negotiations proceed.

The changes are becoming increasingly intense worldwide.

on the surface.

The Soviet Union, the American Free Federation, and the Republic were all paying attention to the peninsula.

But in fact
In Yu Feng’s live broadcast room.

A new map was found, showing the Southeast Asian part of 'Earth' and the area near the Japanese islands with densely packed small red circles, and it was placed in the live broadcast room.

Yu Feng looked at the intelligence in his hand and explained it in conjunction with the red circles on the map:
"My timeline has now caught up to the latest point in time."

"The U.S. federal government and the Republic are currently negotiating."

"Let's take a look at the actions taken by the United States and the Soviet Union at home."

As he spoke, Yu Feng zoomed in on the map and pointed to Southeast Asia, saying:
"The U.S. federal government has now taken the rise of the republic seriously."

"Therefore, before the failure of the 'Fifth Campaign', they had already begun to increase their troop deployment in Southeast Asia."

"not only that."

"And on the Japanese side, the number of new military bases built by the US federal government is also increasing exponentially."

"The construction speed is too fast."

"Several military bases are completed almost every month."

"Judging from the arrangements made by the US federal government..."

"The intention is to form a strategic encirclement to surround the Republic."

"It is clear that the United States has completely regarded the Republic as a major enemy."

"This was a treatment that didn't exist before the start of the Korean War."

"Although the Blue team failed at the time and the Republic broke the deadlock, it was not taken to this extent yet."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

"Because the original plan of the US federal government was to occupy the peninsula."

"That kind of threat is far more serious than the Southeast Asian blockade."

"We can't win now, so we'll settle for the next best thing: blockading Southeast Asia against the Republic."

"Including the southeastern part of the Republic, the United States has been causing trouble since the beginning of the war."

"In the end, it's because our national strength can't keep up."

"However, judging by the timeline, the Republic must have started researching nuclear weapons within the last few years."

"After all, it's not a pleasant feeling to be threatened like that."

"Anyone in the U.S. federal government is clamoring to drop nuclear weapons. There are several high-ranking officials who have shouted this slogan. It's really frustrating."

Many netizens in the live stream room nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Previously on Earth, each federation had its own secret weapons and couldn't afford to engage in large-scale battles, so the players on Earth didn't really notice anything.

However, things are different once you enter the [World War II] game.

Especially in this timeline.

Currently, only the United States and the Soviet Union possess nuclear weapons.

The power of nuclear weapons was also demonstrated by Japan during World War II.

So now countries around the world are wary of this thing. Especially Japan, Europe, and some small countries in Southeast Asia, they really can't withstand it.

But then a republic emerged as an anomaly.

I'm not afraid at all.

From Commander-in-Chief MacArthur to President Truman, the US federal government has even publicly stated that nuclear weapons should be used to resolve the conflict; just seeing these reports is enough.

Let alone the NPCs in the Republic within the game.

Even players on Earth felt a sense of frustration.

Especially those who were randomly assigned to the Chinese People's Volunteer Army on the Korean Peninsula battlefield.

I've never been treated like this in any other game I've ever played.

Even if your equipment is outdated, at least you can still fight. But the enemy has a powerful weapon that threatens you at every turn.

Even players on Earth are furious.

It's easy to imagine the local NPCs of the Republic in the game.

Many players on Earth now understand why the Republic, from top to bottom, always maintains an unyielding stance when faced with nuclear threats.

It's really frustrating.

The republic, which has finally stood up, becomes weak when faced with the nuclear threat of a powerful enemy.

Wouldn't all the sacrifices of the past forty or fifty years have been in vain?

Therefore, even if it means resorting to tactics of exchanging hostilities, the Republic will never bow to the nuclear threats of the United States or even the Soviet Union.

These are feelings I've never experienced before on Earth.

Today, players on Earth have experienced everything in World War II.

This also caused many Earth players to stop talking about war all the time. Instead, after learning about the power of Earth's secret weapons, they changed their stance.

They shifted to the anti-war camp.

Even the largest anti-war group on the internet is comprised of fans of Polaris' World War I and World War II game series.

This is something no one had expected before.

In a war game with hundreds of millions of online players, 80% of the players are anti-war.

That's absolutely outrageous.

This is also why the six federations are pushing Polaris's games so hard.

This year comes down.

Think of how much money they saved on anti-war propaganda!

And the effect is better.

After Yu Feng finished talking about the US federal government, he shrunk the map and moved it to the European side.

After drawing several circles on the map based on their spheres of influence, Yu Feng said:

"Let's take a look at the situation in Europe."

"Speaking of the war on the peninsula, it has been going on for more than a year."

"Time flies in the game."

"I remember when I talked about it before, it was before the Korean War had started, and the Soviet Federation was purging some of the resistance fighters in its satellite countries."

"Now more than a year has passed."

"It's almost done here."

As he spoke, Yu Feng drew a line on the western perimeter of the Soviet Federation, crossing several satellite states:
"The Soviet Federation has completely taken control of these satellite states."

"It's too fast."

"It's only been a little over a year."

"The internal affairs of these satellite states are now being overseen by the Soviet Federation."

"The Eastern Empire was the most distressing to the British Commonwealth and the French Federation."

"After World War II, the empire was partitioned."

"As a victorious power, the Soviet Federation divided up the territory of the empire. After the establishment of the Eastern Reich in 1949, it quickly sided with the Soviet Federation."

"It became the front line of the Soviet Federation against the British Commonwealth, the French Federation, and the American Free Federation."

"Especially after the start of the Korean War."

"The British Commonwealth and the French Commonwealth are even more afraid."

"After all, World War II was only a few years ago."

"Back then, the empire swept across the European continent and pushed directly westward."

"The newly established Eastern Empire is controlled by the Soviet Union; who can feel at ease with that?"

"Well, that's the situation."

"Actually, it's similar to the peninsula."

"However, the United States, this huge bombshell, wasn't buried right next to the Republic's pillow on the other side of the peninsula."

"But it's different here in Europe."

"The Eastern Empire, under the control of the Soviet Federation, was a real time bomb, buried on the border between France and the British Commonwealth."

"This place is not like a peninsula; the terrain is small, and the mountains are very dense."

"The European continent is flat and wide."

“If the Eastern Empire really does something, the first to suffer will be the French Federation.”

"Because it's right next door, like next to your pillow."

"Judging from the eagerness of the French and British Commonwealth, and their apparent desire to prevent the situation from escalating into war, you can tell how terrifying this potential threat is."

"The Soviet satellite states have satellites right at their doorsteps."

"With the French Federation watching, how could they not tremble?"

"We've never been able to defeat the Empire, and now there's someone even more formidable than the Empire standing next to us."

"The key point is that they don't hide anything at all."

"Aren't you afraid as you watch one country after another on the European continent turn into a satellite state?"

As Yu Feng spoke, the viewers in the live stream nodded in agreement.

Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

The key is the combination of the empire and the Soviet Union. If that were to explode, the whole of Europe would probably be plunged into another war.

Watch and watch.

Netizens on Earth have discovered that the situation in Europe is even worse than in Asia, since the Republic didn't let the US, a super bombshell, be buried nearby.

Yu Feng, seeing the questions in the live chat, spoke up:
Why didn't those small European countries resist?

"It's very simple."

"When the tanks came, the resistance stopped."

"Moreover, the psychological warfare techniques employed by the Soviet Federation are quite extraordinary."

"First, the tanks drove in."

"I'll help you later."

"It's already come to this, are you going to accept it or not?"

"Moreover, that's Soviet industrial technology, which can dramatically improve the capabilities of small countries."

"Don't underestimate these industrial technologies."

"Even the Republic cannot refuse."

"why?"

"Because of the decades of war and chaos that the Republic has endured since World War I and World War II."

"There's no technological development at all; it's all about fighting wars."

"Here's your chance to catch up with other countries, do you want it?"

"We absolutely need it."

“These small European countries can’t refuse.”

"In the Republic, this is what is called 'sticks plus dates'."

"The Soviet Federation used this method, first with tanks leading the way, then with technical assistance, to directly bring small European countries under its control."

"same."

"Why are the British Commonwealth and the French Commonwealth so afraid?"

"Because they really couldn't use those technologies from the Soviet Federation."

"As an industrial powerhouse."

"Their industrial technology is even better than that of the Soviets."

"Then here's the problem."

"On the other side is the Soviet Federation, which uses technology to gather small countries. Ironically, in the entire European continent, only the two countries have better technology than the Soviet Union. They don't even want what the Soviet Union offers."

“Even the Soviets might have their things.”

"No wonder these two federations began to worry about the Soviet Union after World War II; it's truly terrifying."
