Chapter 270: Chapter 158: [Market Garden Operation] God of War Montgomery (6.1k Double-Length)_2
But still fighting all the way, retreating all the way, with no solutions.
Yu Feng was flipping through the newspaper and spoke:
"The three great generals of the Empire in the [Hall of Fame] are Manstein, Guderian, and Rommel, right?"
"I don’t remember any other introductions."
"Now that Manstein has been withdrawn, only Guderian and Rommel are left."
"How is Rommel’s health?"
"Retired in March, and now it’s almost August."
"He should have recovered pretty well in about half a year."
However.
Just as the words fell, a barrage from Blue Star brought a message across the live stream:
[No need to think, Rommel is done for.]
[Of the Empire’s three great generals, only Guderian is left.]
[Quick, check the player forum.]
Looking at this message, Yu Feng also opened the player forum, curious about what this audience was talking about.
And upon entering the player forum.
He saw a thread with the explosive ’Boom’ was pinned at the top of the forum.
[Rommel suffers a British Commonwealth airstrike, uncertain life or death?!!!]
"Hiss—"
"Really?"
Although Yu Feng was on the Allies camp.
He had been beaten badly by Rommel’s Imperial Legion in the North African Battlefield, and Rommel was one of the Empire’s three great generals, a celebrity in the [Hall of Fame].
Hit by an airstrike till his fate was unknown?
So casually?
Yu Feng hurriedly clicked in to see, and after entering the post.
What greeted him was a video.
Yu Feng played the video.
The screen began to play, the timeline of this plot was a bit slower than his side, but it was also apparent they were experiencing the Normandy Landing storyline.
Because this video was.... from the Imperial Garrison’s side.
In the video.
This Imperial Camp player’s perspective was at a vantage point, looking at a group of Imperial officers inspecting below in the distance.
And leading among them was Rommel.
This player even adjusted the angle to enlarge the view, making it clearer for others, confirming for Blue Star players that this was indeed Rommel.
However.
Not long after.
The sound of bombers echoed in the sky.
[Normandy Landing] wasn’t just fought at those few beaches; as the frontlines opened up completely, both sides bombarded constantly every day.
And Rommel, inspecting at the time, just happened to come across it.
The Imperial high-ranking officers in the distance wanted to find a place to hide.
But how could they outrun an aircraft?
A series of small black dots scattered down.
Boom boom boom——!
Exploding not far from those Imperial officers.
It’s possible the British Commonwealth pilots in the sky didn’t know they bombed such a figure.
Because based on the newspaper collected on Yu Feng’s side, there was no news from the British Commonwealth; it was obvious the Empire kept it hidden.
Dense Allied planes continued bombarding.
The Imperial Garrison on the ground was scurrying all over the place, while this view’s player looked toward Rommel’s direction.
There, after a round of bombings, had been bypassed by Allied planes.
At this moment, several high-ranking generals were carrying Rommel, running quickly into the distance.
Through the enlarged view, Rommel’s head was bleeding profusely, his foot was immobile, being carried away, life or death unknown.
The footage ended there.
Because the screeching dive of bombs overhead drew near.
Boom——!!!
The view went dark, and comments flew across the video.
[???]
[Damn! I was just watching Rommel, scared me.]
[Deliberate, definitely deliberate.]
[That bomb.... scared me nearly jumping off the bed.]
[Manstein got dismissed, Rommel got air-raided, is the Empire done for?]
[Of the three great generals, only Guderian remains intact now.]
[This unlucky streak makes even drinking cold water cause a toothache.]
[The Empire was already losing, and now Rommel struck dramatically by a bomb.]
[Ridiculous, after half a year of recovery, got bombed back to the hospital as soon as reaching the front line.]
[Anyone with connections to check Rommel’s status, did he get bombed to death?]
Watching the video.
Yu Feng and Blue Star viewers in the live stream had peculiar expressions.
This was too dramatic....
A World War II celebrity in the [Hall of Fame], one of the Empire’s three great generals.
Almost bombed to death by an airstrike, possibly even the pilot who bombed him didn’t realize the magnitude of their action; if they knew, British Commonwealth newspapers would have been all over.
Yu Feng felt somewhat emotional:
"Suddenly feels pretty fair."
"All are just lives."
"An ordinary soldier might be killed by a stray bullet, and a high-level general might also be killed by a bomb from the sky."
"Reasonable."
Yu Feng continued speaking while browsing the game forum.
The forum posts were split between the Imperial Camp and the Federation Camp, but everyone viewed them together, options available to show posts from only one camp.
Yu Feng chose the Imperial Camp.
Wanting to see if any latest news was out.
However, after browsing around.
Didn’t find more news, but there were many who confirmed Rommel indeed was hospitalized.
Current specifics were unclear.
Some players provided screenshots from a hospital in Berlin, faintly revealing Rommel lying in a hospital bed.
Yu Feng looking at the picture clicked his tongue:
"It really is Rommel."
"The pilot owes himself a great service."
"Who would have thought a regular bombing would send one of the Empire’s three great generals to the hospital."
Yu Feng exited the post.
But then found posts with explosive headlines, about the assassination of the Imperial Leader, rising in the Imperial Camp forum.
Yu Feng and Blue Star viewers in the live stream were dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Rommel just got bombed into the hospital, and the Imperial Leader suffered assassination?
