Chapter 315: Chapter 170: [Sarajevo Incident · Fate’s Choice] The Enraged Blue Star Streamer (7k Double-Length) (2)
As the viewpoint sweeps across.
The scene suddenly switches, appearing on the battlefield.
It’s the Verdun battlefield from earlier.
In the pitch-black trench, a tall officer dressed in France’s military uniform, wearing a gas mask, is using his bayonet to try to pry open the ammunition box in front of him.
Boom——!
A shell lands in the adjacent trench, the blast wave directly flips him over.
The gas mask on his head is jerked to the side.
Seeing the half-face exposed beneath the gas mask, and the blood-stained bandage, the Blue Star netizens immediately recognized that this was General de Gaulle.
As General de Gaulle is flipped over by the blast wave, without a moment’s pause, he hurriedly gets up.
Secures the gas mask, picks up the bayonet, and continues prying the ammunition box.
The scene rapidly pulls away to the outside.
Swish!
It’s as if we’ve switched to a different battlefield; this environment, unlike the previous one, is not muddy, but the deafening shelling outside never stops.
At this moment, inside the trenches.
A corporal is tightly gripping his rifle, like the soldiers in the nearby trenches, awaiting the signal to charge.
Boom——!
A shell explodes in the trench.
The firelight instantaneously illuminated everything around, shining upon the corporal hiding in the pit at the side of the trench, his half-visible face.
The emaciated and sunken cheeks, iconic big beard... the young Imperial Leader?!
Before Blue Star players could take a closer look.
Swish!
The scene switches again.
In a field of golden wheat waves, the Mark Maxim machine guns of the United Kingdom kept spewing tongues of fire, steam from the cooling water drifting upwards, seemingly the player’s first-person perspective.
But soon, the perspective pulls out, and Blue Star players discover it’s the view of an NPC.
This NPC seems to be a journalist.
With a camera in hand, taking pictures of the charging cavalry from the opposite side, the CG image remains focused on this journalist.
Seeing this, Blue Star players furrow their brows slightly.
Who is this?
Which World War II figure? No impression?
According to Polestar’s standard, this has to be a World War II figure, given that the previous were General de Gaulle and the Imperial Leader, how could this person be unknown.
Just looking at this youthful and handsome face, for a moment Blue Star players couldn’t figure it out.
Maybe realizing that Blue Star players were unable to guess.
So, at the very last moment, as the perspective was about to leave, a few words slowly emerged beside this handsome journalist.
[Churchill]
???
???
Everyone had a question mark on their face, the host Kong Yang was also dumbfounded, hurriedly pausing the CG:
"What the hell? Who???"
"Is this the ’British Prime Minister’?!"
The Blue Star netizens in the live room were also dumbstruck.
[No, there must be something wrong!]
[Could this really be the ’British Prime Minister’?]
[Damn, is the difference between young and old that big?]
[No... should I say he aged way too quickly!]
[World War II wasn’t that far from World War I, how did he grow to be completely unrecognizable?!]
Kong Yang found a photo of the British Prime Minister during the ’World War II’ period from the plot, then put it in the live room for comparison with the paused CG of the handsome man.
(Young vs Old)
Kong Yang’s expression was strange:
"Well this...."
"Can’t say it’s exactly the same, only to say it’s completely unrelated."
"Not really."
"The chin there is somewhat similar, both are rather rounded, but this facial change is just too big."
"Still, being young is good."
Inside the live room, Blue Star netizens looked at the photo comparison, indeed.... the chin vaguely allows recognition as the same person.
But the face had changed so much as to be unrecognizable.
Too ridiculous!
Kong Yang clicked his tongue:
"But I didn’t expect, the British Prime Minister also participated in World War I."
"And was a journalist."
"Not bad, this way the journalist should be pretty safe right."
"Can go to the battlefield, yet don’t have to die, can even be protected."
"A perfect role indeed."
"And later became the British Commonwealth Prime Minister, my goodness, is it an inspirational story?"
After a few sighs, Kong Yang continued playing the CG.
As the CG of the British Commonwealth ended, the scene switched to another battlefield.
Similarly, a machine gun immediately catches the eye, but this time it seems to be the perspective of the machine gunner.
The machine gun at the center of the CG spitting tongues of fire, a hand tied with sandbags appears on the right, dousing the overheated barrel with water, as the perspective slowly pulls out....
It’s Rommel?!
Seeing the young Rommel and thinking about his later legend and forced suicide fate.
Blue Star netizens could not help but feel a touch of poignancy.
The scene flips again.
Appearing on muddy marshes, tanks are bogged down, soldiers continuously open hatches, climb out of the tanks, and with guns raised, charge towards the enemy.
At this moment, behind the Tank Cluster.
The hatch of a bogged down tank is similarly opened, out climbs a lieutenant covered in oil.
Looking at the face of that lieutenant.
Although many Blue Star players do not recognize, there are also many who have seen him.
It’s General Patton from the United States during World War II.
Some Blue Star players at the Western Front have seen Patton, so they can recognize him.
But at this moment, Patton is still a lieutenant, climbing out of the tank hatch, shouting furiously as he commands his men to fight, obviously the young Patton’s style was this brave.
Not just these.
The screen then quickly flashes past, one after another renowned figures from World War II who stirred the world during that time, generals, now struggling in the quagmire of World War I.
The corporal hiding in the trench, the journalist taking pictures beside the machine gunner, the lieutenant using a bayonet to pry open an ammunition box.... who would have thought that decades later.
These individuals would become operators of the world.
Nobody could have foreseen.
