The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

With the players' indulgence and a certain "tacit approval" from the top of the Red Party, the relevant film and television works quickly completed the preparation of personnel and equipment. Of course, these were all operations at the private level, requiring the old and young people of the Mite Youth to pay for it themselves, or a lot of money, and the players would not give these people any compensation.

But for the sake of their ancestors' reputation, to avoid being liquidated, and for the future good of themselves and their children, those wealthy old people also contributed money and manpower, and many action directors were provided by the parties themselves. Therefore, although these works are whitewashed works, the action details and costume matching are perfectly in line with the era at that time, and can be viewed as documentaries.

This can be considered as a good thing done with bad intentions.

Before the filming was completed, the players had already started nationwide propaganda in order to raise the people's expectations to the highest level. However, this costs money, and naturally it is the old and young people who pay for it. Without money, they can't work properly. If the effect is not satisfactory, you can't blame us.

Under the propaganda campaign and deception that was ahead of their time, these mites began to blast out gold coins crazily. In order to make them blast out more efficiently, players also made propaganda effect tables for them to see every once in a while. Those visual data were quite intimidating and fully demonstrated how much real money could be brought in by taking things out of context. Anyway, those mites were very happy to see it and felt that every penny they threw out was not wasted.

In order to ensure the filming effect, all the actors were recruited from the left behind. After all, these TV series are destined to be condemned by everyone in the future. In this case, those people's actors cannot be wronged, and if they have to be cheated, they should be the left behind.

As for the fact that the Mites think that making a movie is cheap, just say it is a movie, use a trendy word, and invite a few heavyweights to come and act as the finale, and then these people will step up to contribute their labor, even bringing their own food.

After careful selection, the players picked out a group of handsome men and beautiful women from the relics, and then began to arrange the movie characters according to their temperament. As for whether these people will cooperate, if they don't, you will be overturning the table of your own parents. When the time comes, they will draw out the ruler and enforce the family rules. Don't cry out in pain.

The effect of this trick is quite good. These tender and tender handsome men and beautiful women of the mites have become much more obedient. They let the director and lighting technicians on the set do whatever they want, and the resulting works are also quite good, perfectly in line with the thoughts and wishes of the mites, and are what they want to see most. -p

"Yeah, I have that feeling!"

This is what a prince of the Qing Dynasty said. I wish you good luck (reading).

So they really didn't think about what it meant that the filming process went so smoothly with the green light all the way, and that it was done without any clear notice from the authorities.

They are just short of being dragged directly to the guillotine of public opinion.

Unfortunately, the remnants of the old era could no longer understand the changes of the new era, which made the new recruits who had secretly prepared many contingency plans very disappointed. These enemies were not worthy of their hard training at all.

"Isn't it great, Comrade New Recruit, the Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Household." The caracal Lin Luan laughed and patted the new recruit on the shoulder, then laughed even louder, gradually developing to the point where he fell forward and backward, without concealing his joy at all.

"You die!" The recruit responded with the characteristic answer of the caracal.

"Honestly, isn't it disgusting to deal with those people?"

"Nonsense, but these people are easy to deal with."

"For example?"

"Just praise them and that's it. They're all clueless idiots. The higher they fall from a high position, the more they like auspicious words and flattery. Once their emotional value is satisfied, these people will be very obedient."

"I heard that group of people are quite generous."

"It's as generous as rewarding a servant, right? But they do have money. No wonder many people over there would rather abandon their dignity and kneel to make money. It's a pity that most people can only lose money even if they kneel. Tsk tsk tsk."

"So, dignity is very valuable. Once traded, it becomes worthless."

"If it weren't for the mission, I would have just used a light machine gun to clear the area."

"What about you now?"

"Haha, it's quite fun to trick a bunch of damn fools."

"Once the TV series comes out, these rubbish will be ruined."

But the new recruit shook his head and said, "No, at least not in the short term. Although we have mixed in a lot of private opinions, it takes time to ferment. And haven't you noticed that those pigtail plays we saw when we were young were all entertainment interpretations, with private opinions mixed in with the drama. They are a kind of entertainment product. Compared with serious historical dramas, these entertaining pigtail plays are more likely to be popular."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I remember the ratings for Ming Dynasty weren't very good back then."

"They were completely trounced by the pigtail drama. Those remnants of the mites who studied abroad seized the opportunity of our lack of entertainment and used avant-garde propaganda methods to gain a head start. Of course, shit is shit after all, especially when these people become increasingly arrogant and undisguised. That's the madness before self-destruction. I can be their gravedigger."

"I never realized before that you, a delivery boy, actually have the potential to become the godfather of entertainment."

"They are just relying on the knowledge of later generations to bully the people of the past. This is not a talent, it is just a different way of interpreting history."

"But now, it is history as people in this world know it. We are making history."

While the two friends were reminiscing over the wine table, "Return of the Condor Heroes", which had been enhanced by the players without raising the price, had already completed filming and was soon released in theaters across the country. Its formula of comedy, tragedy, illegitimate daughter, emperor's romantic debts, curiosity and historical entertainment quickly overwhelmed audiences everywhere and received rave reviews.

It is mainly interesting and fun, and greatly enriches people's rest time.

Why did people in the past like group activities?

Because there was not much for individuals to play. There was no Internet at that time, and there was no way to achieve "the world is close to each other" across cities or even countries through network signals. If you want to find like-minded people, you can only start from those around you. The only slightly advanced means of entertainment are movies and black and white TV, and the coverage of the latter is quite poor.

However, the cinemas set up by players across the country have made up for this shortcoming. As long as a movie is highlighted by players, it can become a household name in just one night.

As a result, "Return of the Condor Heroes" became extremely popular, and it was so popular that half of the sky was red. For a time, people would talk about this TV series on the streets and alleys when chatting with neighbors, and it was directly elevated to a kind of cultural phenomenon.

Such a huge success made the descendants of the Man Qing family ecstatic. This kind of publicity effect was what they wanted to see most. It could be said that it fully whitewashed the label of "unhuman" of the Man Qing royal family and made their Emperor Qianlong a "good father with flesh and blood." As for the domineering part of it, that was the love of a domineering president for his daughter.

Of course, there are still some smart people who have seen that there are many hidden dangers in "Return of the Condor Heroes", but in the face of such huge success, these minor problems will only be understood as "there is no absolutely perfect work in the world", "art will definitely compromise with reality to a certain extent", "historical dramas must also respect history" and other "no choice".

These descendants of the mites have not yet fully accepted the brainwashing and help of hostile forces abroad. They lack knowledge in this area and think that everything is as planned. They can continue to implement their "propaganda and whitewashing" strategy. They did not notice at all that voices from the public soon began to question "Is Qianlong not doing his job?"

As these questioning voices spread, Xinhua Bookstores began to spring up across the country. These bookstores have official history books to read. Those who are interested in history are welcome to learn more about that period of history.

Chapter 254: We are comrades

(The third update is here! 10,000 words have been updated. Comrades, please vote~)

There is never a shortage of ruthless people in this world who are willing to get to the bottom of things. Especially for the Chinese people who have experienced humiliation in modern times, history has very important significance and influence. It can even be said to be the only reason for them to persevere during those desperate years.

Therefore, when it comes to historical issues, the masters of Chinese studies at this time were all very moral and persistent.

You can say that they may not be on the side of the people, but they definitely have their own bottom line. You can doubt their position, but you cannot deny the professionalism of these people.

Then another problem arose. Players pointed out that the movies invested by the mites were too advanced for the historical community, and could even be said to be stepping on their common sense.

Soon, a group of professionals stood up and criticized "Return of the Condor Heroes". The reasons were very simple and sufficient - it was a spoof of history and disrespectful to ancestors.

This is a cliché, but how does the saying go? Only history that can resist deconstructionism can truly be passed down, because you must at least ensure that the content of your history book is logically consistent, even if it is unofficial history, otherwise it is fabricated history.

"This, this, this, what should I do?"

"Since so many people are against us, it means we are doing the right thing."

"No, those people are all masters of Chinese studies recognized by the Red Government. We are playing against them..."

"The more you do this, the more popular you'll be, and the more you'll attract people. At times like this, we must speak out loudly and absolutely not back down. Once we do, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Do you want to go back to the old days?"

A group of mite survivors shook their heads. Although they could survive abroad, they lived a completely humble life with only a little more dignity than dogs. They still understood the principle that people are worthless when they leave their hometown. Moreover, many channels abroad are simply not open to them. If they want to get more, they have to return to the Xinhua system. After all, history has its inheritance, and Xinhua cannot completely deny everything in the past. This is their chance.

Under the deception of a group of players led by the recruits, these mite survivors cherish their current victory very much, or the sunk cost is too high, and the previous results are too good, so they are reluctant to give in.

"My advice is that in this kind of situation, it's useless to just reason with people. What do ordinary people know? The key is who has the loudest voice and the most exciting story. So we must not stop promoting it. I have a plan here, please review it."

At this point, the players' true intentions were exposed. In addition to using these mite remains as live vaccines, they also wanted to drain their savings and get the money under various publicity names. After that, they no longer had the final say on how to use the money.

Are you kidding? You are happy to receive the money from me. Do you want to take it back?

As for the money, it will not be wasted. It can be used to support rural construction and infrastructure, allowing more people to participate in the tense and exciting infrastructure work, fully organize the country's labor force, and thoroughly activate it. Don't doubt the wealth of these mites. They are very good at hiding money, and they must be made to take it out willingly.

Under the guise of expanding publicity, players began to suggest these idiots to invest in the publicity industry. Of course, these people can't spend their own money and run the business, they need someone to help them manage these industries. In this case, it is the players' responsibility to help sign for it. Don't be polite, you deserve it.

So the money turned into Hope Primary Schools, rural roads, and Xinhua Bookstores, but it did not become the publicity loudspeakers that the players wanted. If these people want to go and see it on a whim one day, the players will prepare a place for them and put on a good show to make them feel that their investment is worth it.

However, the simplest method is for the players and the Red Party to cooperate and start fighting each other, showing a fierce battle in the newspaper.

It's really a joke for fools. You can buy the newspaper every day, and the content is written in black and white, making those people feel that their money has worked and that their ancestors have been whitewashed. This money is well spent. Like! Tip! 666!

But behind all this prosperity, the wealth of these people has always been in a state of expenditure not income, and they are completely living off their savings. However, the players like to take it slow and long-term, squeezing them bit by bit, while also letting them see some hope. When these fat pigs have completely lost their value, they can be slaughtered for the New Year.

The method is also very simple. Just investigate some of these people secretly. After all, whether they are at home or abroad, they must have touched upon the shady gray and black industries, and some of them are evidence to send them to the execution ground.

In this way, a domestic ideological struggle that seemed extremely fierce on the surface but was actually completely controllable began. Everyone participated in it in an entertaining way through newspapers, television, movies, and radio. This was also a cultural revolution in another sense, but because the operation was too advanced, many hidden reactionaries had not yet reacted.

But they will definitely react, and then take the initiative to participate, trying to reverse the "oppression" of the people's state. For tens of thousands of years, the common people have been crawling on the ground. Why should the peasants now be able to boss us around? This is unacceptable.

Pigtail dramas are still being filmed, and many official historians are also insisting on refuting them. In this process, they will also be exposed to and learn this cultural propaganda model. Those who can keep up with the new era will stand out, and the rest should respect the fate of others and the choice of the times.

But we have to say that the Xinhua people in this world are so lucky. They can see the future Western scenes in their own country in 1943, while the Second World War abroad has entered a white-hot state, and the German troops in the Balkans are in a state of panic.

Because there are so many guerrillas, to the point of being an overflow.

As a large number of lone wolf players went deep into the rear of the German army and began to recruit local soldiers, or simply combined with local guerrillas to form super forms, the German army's logistical transportation costs skyrocketed. In the past, guerrillas looked for opportunities to attack, but now it has become the same place, and different people have to go to the same place seven or eight times. Ubisoft's canned strongholds don't even have this treatment.

The current highest record was set by the German army in Sarajevo. On November 2, the local German army was attacked a total of 117 times. The explosions in the city were heard from morning to night. Some targets were warehouses and roads, and some were aimed at killing German troops. Not every attack can guarantee results, but every day is so exciting that the German army from top to bottom can obviously not stand it. They have begun to implement a strict curfew in the local area and brutally search for guerrillas. Any local people they suspect of having connections with the guerrillas will be tortured and killed.

Then they created more guerrillas. Although there was no room for improvement in the frequency of attacks, the intensity of attacks could still be improved, such as the massive amount of explosives provided by players.

"See? The explosive pack needs to be placed like this, with a layer of wood underneath. Don't put too much explosives. By adjusting the elevation of the gasoline barrel, you can use it as a simple mortar. Hitting a range of one or two hundred meters isn't a problem, but it's best to concentrate your fire. This thing's accuracy is average. If you want to improve it, the easiest way is to get closer."

Bobosha and Luo Cheng are teaching the local guerrillas how to use the conscienceless cannon. The combination of explosive packs and gasoline barrels is really convenient. Moreover, Europe's industrial level is the highest in the world. Even in the Balkans, many industrial products can be found. As long as the materials are in place, it is not a problem for local masters to hand-make mortars. However, in emergencies and when a large amount of firepower is required, the conscienceless cannon is still more useful.

However, this thing cannot be used in the city because it can easily hurt civilians. The guerrillas are not fascists and they still care about the safety of local compatriots, so these unscrupulous cannons will be used to ambush German convoys.

After spending some time together, Luo Cheng and Bobosa have successfully converted the guerrillas into their own fans. Walter, as the supreme commander, also respects them and listens to their opinions before any action begins. The three of them formed the famous Serbian guerrilla iron triangle. The locals called them "Defenders of Sarajevo" or "German Nemesis", and the German army called them "Three-Headed Dog of Hell".

Some German soldiers who were just civilians even established cooperative relations with them, saying that both sides could cooperate and we would not make things difficult for the locals. Let's make a tacit agreement that we will not provoke you when we encircle and suppress you in the future, and you should pretend not to see us when we patrol on weekdays. If necessary, we can do a small business.

Simply put, some local German troops began to act as arms dealers for the guerrillas.

This is not a strange operation at all. There are such people in the army of any country. When the war has always been favorable, they don't mind working hard, but now they are at a disadvantage, and they don't want to die, so they can only talk to the guerrillas. What's more, the shadow cast by the Volunteer Army is increasingly covering them. The supreme terror that the Japanese army once felt is now covering the German army in the same way.

Not every German was willing to burn with all his might for the Third Reich.

The guerrillas were also willing to cooperate with these German devils who were willing to "cooperate". They would just keep a vigilant watch on them but would not attack them. However, for those German devils who did not understand the situation and were still seriously trying to encircle and suppress the guerrillas, they could only be educated by Maximism. After all, only dead bodies on the battlefield would not cause trouble.

"Report, latest intelligence!"

After Walter took the telegram and read it, he turned around and went to find Bobosha and Luo Cheng.

"A German army is about to evacuate Serbia. In other words, the Germans are going to abandon this place. Congratulations, Walter, your hometown is about to be liberated."

Walter shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about now is whether the German reinforcements will put pressure on the front line. We should try our best to intercept them in Serbia!"

"If this is done, Serbia might..."

"International volunteers from all over the world are fighting to liberate us. We cannot be so selfish. This is the price Serbia must pay for its liberation, and we are willing to bear this price. Don't forget, we are comrades!"

Chapter 255: Swear by blood to liberate our homeland

(First update! Please vote~)

Workers of the world, unite! What an inspiring slogan! But unity comes at a price. Without the baptism of blood and fire, most people cannot understand why they should unite with people from far away corners of the world to fight for a common goal.

But now, Walter has proved with his actual actions that after being forged by iron and fire, the proletariat will find a way out on its own, and the future of human civilization will eventually be sublimated through repeated phoenix nirvana.

However, the local Serbian guerrilla forces alone could not contain many German troops. Therefore, this operation must be linked to other Yugoslav guerrillas, and the entire Yugoslav guerrilla force must do its utmost in this operation.

This wasn't some volunteer army mission, nor was it some remote command from a distant land. It was simply the awakened proletariat choosing to fight for a better tomorrow.

As telegram after telegram began to be delivered, the Yugoslav guerrillas began to launch an attack on the German army. This attack was not a suicide attack, but a mobile harassment and diversionary tactic adopted according to their actual situation. All the mission objectives were to make the German army's return defense difficult. If they wasted a day in a non-war zone, the pressure on the front line would be reduced.

The good news is that most of the Yugoslav guerrillas received weapons assistance from the volunteer army. The worst equipment they had were semi-automatic rifles, and there were plenty of submachine guns.

Especially the MP submachine gun series produced by players in the Nanjing Liberated Area. Now they have been completely replaced by the Type 81 and Type 81 modified assault rifles. Even in the field of pure submachine guns, the Volunteer Army has better alternatives.

But they are still effective weapons that can kill people, and they are used by players to support the world's anti-fascist cause.

As a result, a large number of MP series submachine guns were sent to the hands of Yugoslav guerrillas. The guerrillas also particularly liked this effective close-range automatic weapon. After all, for most guerrillas, their shooting accuracy was really not satisfactory, but they had no problem using submachine guns at close range.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. In most cases, those who lead the charge are veterans in the guerrillas, and many of the weapons of the new recruits are even those that have been eliminated by the guerrillas.

After all, even if they were replenished with weapons and equipment, the combat characteristics of the guerrillas determined that they could not stay in a fixed area for a long time, and they often moved to another place after firing a shot.

Bases that were too obvious and well-established could easily be targeted by German bombings, so the guerrilla bases were usually semi-hidden or completely hidden.

If the Volunteers airdropped somewhere, they would be unable to airdrop there again. The Germans would definitely control and monitor that area, unless the Volunteers could radiate their influence to that area, making the enemy afraid to approach. But if the guerrillas were so close to the Volunteers, would they still need to fight guerrilla warfare? Wouldn't it be better to just attack the Germans directly?

"Hurry! Hurry! Everyone speed up, we must reach the ambush site before dark."

"The Volunteer Army has already gained a battlefield advantage over the German Army. The day of liberation of the entire Balkans is approaching. What we need to do is to prevent the German Army from retreating and buy time and opportunity for the Volunteer Army to achieve a quick victory."

"For our loved ones, for our hometown, comrades, fight!"

In the countryside, in the fields, and by the lake, group after group of Yugoslav guerrillas advanced silently towards their target location. They had only one goal: to delay the returning German troops at all costs.

The Yugoslav guerrillas were adept at the "hit and run" mobile tactics, marching an average of 40 kilometers a day. However, the current situation required the guerrillas to quickly engage in battle after arriving at the combat site, and the physical strength of each guerrilla was squeezed to the limit.

But none of them fell behind, and no one complained, because they knew that as long as they held on a little longer, the dawn of victory was just in the distance, and their hometown would eventually be liberated!

Players are well aware that these guerrillas have limited resource carrying capacity. Therefore, except for those guerrillas who can guarantee continuous airdrops, the Yugoslav guerrillas who can only obtain supplies occasionally are equipped with a large number of individual anti-tank weapons, such as the Volunteer Army version of the Panzerfaust. For the Volunteer Army, which has already replaced the RPG-4 (an improved version of the RPG-2 with an additional Laval nozzle, which is an adjustable water spray gun and a standing equipment for fire departments in daily life) and will soon be able to fully popularize the RPG-7, the Panzerfaust series produced in the liberated areas are completely outdated and are usually handed over to the militia. Now, together with the MP series submachine guns, they form the two most important pieces of equipment for the Yugoslav guerrillas.

A 107mm rocket launcher would make it even more perfect.

This has actually been achieved. Wherever there are players, the local guerrillas can definitely use 107 fire.

The emergence of a large number of new equipment has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Yugoslav guerrillas. At this time, Tito was in Bulgaria, following the main force of the Volunteer Army. His main job now was to summon all the Yugoslav guerrillas that could be gathered around, and then reorganize them into regular troops. Yugoslavia needed its own regular army. Only by doing this well could it have a say in the post-war Balkans.

World War II was the only chance for the Balkan region to complete its integration, and Tito's search for a suitable successor before his death was the only chance to ensure the survival of Yugoslavia and not be dismembered and exploited by the West.

These two unique factors destined the existence of this country to be difficult. Its philosophy is truly "existence is everything, everything is for existence", because only by existing can Yugoslavia be qualified to discuss the future.

In a mountainous area, thirty guerrillas huddled in the woods. They were one of the countless Yugoslav guerrillas. Their mission was to attack the German troops passing through here. They did not need to achieve great results, but just a few hits to make the enemy stop, which would create opportunities for the friendly troops behind to destroy the road.
