Chapter 260: Chapter 155: [The End of the North African Battlefield] The Birth of the Allied Military Genius (6.8k Double Chapter)
Assassination of a prominent figure? Massacre?
Instead of finding the culprit, you’re venting your anger by massacring villagers?
Emotional players struggled to speak out.
But in the next second.
Bang!
The screen went dark.
Then it showed Japan... the Soviet Union... whether it was the Axis Powers or the Allies.
Both sides were revealed to be extremely cruel in the plot video.
No one had noticed these plots before, but once discovered, people on Blue Star realized, is there really a good side?
On one hand, sending the children of the people to their deaths.
On the other hand, bombing and massacring civilians?
No?
Why does it seem more and more wrong the more you think about it?
And the creator of the video seemed to have discovered this problem, so in the later parts showing each country’s massacre of civilians, it featured those who ’benefited’ or ’gave the orders’.
There were players randomly becoming gang members.
Watching as one notification of death after another was delivered in the town, while their boss counted the money from smuggling weapons to the enemy, indulging in joy every night.
There were players randomly becoming government officials’ secretaries.
Watching those high-ranking officials eating steak, drinking red wine, even their dogs fed with exclusively supplied French foie gras, yet once they stepped out the door, they transformed into messengers of justice.
Deceiving those young people in their twenties that they were the country’s future, Blue Star players watched those excited young faces.
The video suddenly shifted to show corpses.
...
...
And finally in the video.
Were those Imperial Soldiers, shouting ’For the Empire!’ The Soviet Union soldiers, shouting ’For motherland!’
Dying on that less than two square kilometers of Mamaev Kurgan.
The shock from these plot videos caused Blue Star players’ views of the world to collapse.
The war on this ’Earth’ is far darker than imagined.
Never thought of it this way before.
But seeing the arms dealers and politicians in the video, all earning vast sums and basking in the limelight.
Compared to the innocent civilians slaughtered and the soldiers shouting till their death.
Who’s the fool is evident.
This video montage quickly hit the hot search, not just anywhere, but on hot searches of all major Federations.
For nothing....
On this Blue Star, which never experienced war, the darkness revealed by this video was a fatal blow to those war fanatics.
It’s said a certain software crashed from being tagged too much.
There are countless groups of hundreds to thousands, but they all reached out to their group organizers after watching the video, asking if there was a war, would he be the first to go.
Yet even though the organizers of each group promised, the number of people leaving was increasing rapidly, and years of hard work crumbled overnight.
That night.
Who knows how many fanatics started to hate Jixing Group and Zhao Ming....
The more Blue Star players dug, the more darkness they found.
Soon.
The 1939 [Mutual Non-aggression Treaty between the Soviet Union and the Empire] was uncovered.
Blue Star players were dumbfounded.
Initially, when they first entered the plot, they thought it was simply because Poland was too weak, even later when the Soviet Union also invaded Poland, they didn’t think twice about it.
But now....
Turns out you had agreed upon it back then?
Looking at the current Axis Powers and Allies, the two biggest combat powers and arch-enemies, seemingly at odds, who would have known they were so close before?
However.
This isn’t all that’s been uncovered.
Also, before the United States of America joined the Allies, it had been selling supplies, oil, etc., to Japan.
Soon news came from a Blue Star player randomly assigned as a Soviet Union official, shattering Blue Star players’ perception of the world.
[Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact]
Specifically, the Soviet Union, to stabilize the Far East Region, signed a treaty with the opposing Axis Power Japan, both acknowledging each other’s supported forces.
The Soviet Union acknowledged the propped-up ’Pseudo-State’ forces by Japan in international society.
Japan, on the other hand, acknowledged the ’Outer Mongolia Republic’ propped up by the Soviet Union in international society.
This treaty was signed back in 1941.
However, both sides remained wary of each other until just April 1943, when this Blue Star player, as a Soviet official, participated in a meeting between both sides.
The Soviet Union needed to focus its efforts against the Empire, so troops in the Far East Region were crucial, while Japan was having a tough time in the Pacific Ocean.
The only way to increase troops was to enter through the Northeast Region of the Republic, but that area belonged to the Soviet Far East.
Now, an Ally and an Axis Power readily reached an agreement.
Whereas the United States, which had been selling resources to Japan, turned around and used the "Hump Route" to transport supplies to the Republic’s side.
The shifting alliances and foes left Blue Star players dizzy.
No eternal allies.
Only eternal interests.
Even though [Republic] isn’t open, some news can be known.
The Soviet Union that once supported [Republic], now turned around to cooperate with Japan, while the United States that was supplying Japan switched to supplying the [Republic].
Will there be more reversals later?
Blue Star players still don’t know, as the plot is just at 1943 now.
But if Zhao Ming were here.
He would surely say there are, brothers, many!
And the reversals won’t just happen once.
From the Cold War to Modern Warfare, wouldn’t it require seven, eight, or even ninety reversals... and still be few?
Mysteriously, the game "World War II: Empire’s Rise" suddenly became profound.
Many Blue Star players realized they had been playing too superficially.
Just charging ahead, dying relentlessly.
Wouldn’t those official NPCs look at them like fools?
Many Blue Star players continue to randomize.
Trying various high-level identities to see just how many secrets on Earth can be uncovered.
..
While Blue Star players are in heated discussions.
The progress of the war remains unaffected, ’Earth’ continues to see battles daily.
And at this moment, Stalingrad, entering May 1943.
Began to regroup its forces.
Even though a major defeat was suffered two months ago, the bulging part of the defense line here at [Kursk] is just the right place for a showdown with the Empire.
Although the National War Dungeon [Battle of Kursk] hasn’t opened yet, making it impossible to experience the feeling of multiplayer connectivity.
But in the immersive plot mode, both sides of [Battle of Kursk] are already gathering their forces.
