Chapter 320: Chapter 171: Dreaming Back to S1, Breaking Through the Arden Forest!
At present, the plot has only progressed to August 7th, with the armies of various countries on the European Continent advancing toward the borders.
The information he’s gathered can indeed make things clear here.
And the viewers in the live stream have understood, given the detailed distinction of forces, making it easy to comprehend the conflict zones of World War I.
Barrage comments float across the live stream, with some viewers adding supplementary information.
[The Imperial side had actually been preparing to attack on two fronts for a long time.]
[Specifically, it’s called the "Schlieffen Plan," because the Russian Empire’s vast size results in slow mobilization, so once the conflict begins.]
[First, blitz the western France, leaving only part of the troops on the eastern border to defend against the Russian Empire.]
[After defeating France, the returning soldiers would then go to support the Eastern Front.]
[However, the first step already went awry. The Imperial troops were supposed to go through Belgium to attack France, but the Great British Empire stood by to support Belgium.]
[The fastest streamers are now already engaging battles in Belgium.]
Huang Yong looks at the barrage comments and reads them out loud, making the viewers understand the situation even better.
Just at this moment.
Knock knock knock!
The sound of knocking on the door rang out, as Huang Yong looked towards the door:
"Come in."
His deputy walked in, carrying a stack of arrest warrants:
"Sir."
"These are the arrest warrants requiring your signature, including for the major offender Zhugash..."
Huang Yong waved his hand:
"No need to come to me for this kind of thing, handle it yourself."
The deputy nodded at this:
"Understood."
Then retreated.
As Huang Yong watched the door close, he continued analyzing the World War I situation with the viewers in the live stream.
Though he’s not skilled at strategic games, with so much information at his disposal, the feeling of analyzing the whole battlefield got him fascinated.
No wonder everyone wants to be the general commanding a major battle, this feeling is quite intriguing.
On the other side.
After the deputy went out, he returned to his own office.
Following the orders, he signed the arrest warrants one by one, then issued them.
As the arrest warrants were issued and spread around.
Half a day later...
Inside an underground factory near the oil depot.
The factory door was suddenly slammed open, and a squad of gendarmes rushed in, the lead gendarme captain looked at the young man covered in ink, sneered, and said:
"Djugashvili (Stalin), you’re under arrest!"
...
Outside world.
The release of "World War I: Twilight of the Empire" and the sequel to World War II, "Cold War Clouds," were proceeding steadily.
As time passed.
A week went by, and the backend data within Polestar Company showed.
The game was overall becoming stable.
They also gathered quite some information from forums, overall there weren’t any major issues, though some in-game situations did provoke thoughts among the Federation.
Like the mutual declarations of war among countries during World War I.
Because on Blue Star, the various major Federations actually have both friendly and hostile relations, though the general public usually wouldn’t know much.
However, some curious players, observing the conflicts among the major empires on Earth.
Brought out the photon supercomputer.
Asked if the situation on Earth was substituted, if the Antarctic Star Federation declared war on other Federations, what reactions would the other Federations have?
However, the outcome was unexpected for the players.
Because the photon supercomputer could directly search and list what the Blue Star citizens usually wouldn’t pay attention to in news.
As the results from the photon supercomputer were released.
Blue Star players found out that the conflicts among the six major Federations weren’t new, like how the Great Xia Federation got along quite well with the Golden Moon Federation.
And there were occasional border conflicts with the Slavic Energy Federation, though it was just a sentence or two on the military internet.
But under the listing from photon supercomputer right now.
Great Xia Federation’s citizens realized that war might actually break out.
The photon supercomputer indicated that once the Antarctic Star Federation declared war on any Federation, the probability of other Federations participating was quite high, and it could very likely evolve into a military conflict.
Such a simulation result quickly made its way to the hot topics of major Federations.
People started to panic, asking, is war really this close to us?
However soon after, major Federations on Blue Star came out to refute the rumors, assuring the public no need to worry, war wouldn’t happen, as currently there were no absolute interest conflicts among major Federations.
Small frictions wouldn’t turn into a world war like on Earth.
Many citizens of Blue Star then finally felt relieved.
However, this farce made the six major Federations realize the impact of propaganda.
This result was surprisingly good.
Previously, when discussing war, there were still quite a few online saying it’d be better if it broke out, but now all were worried about what might happen if it did.
Obviously, it’s a series of chain reactions triggered by witnessing the consequences of war on "Earth" in the game.
Unintentionally.
Polestar Company was noted by major Federations again.
But Zhao Ming was not paying attention to this little episode at the moment.
Currently, the company operates steadily, so he simply ran off for a vacation, now fishing in the North Sea with the virtual screen from his phone’s projection beside him playing game footage.
At this moment.
On the Celestial Shark Live Platform, in Kong Yang’s live stream room.
Being the first one to download the game, followed by getting beaten up and held for half a day, indeed attracted a lot of attention when the server first opened.
However, as time progressed, over a week has passed.
The players found their favorite streamers, and though Kong Yang hasn’t become a top streamer in the World War I zone yet, it’s much better than in the World War II zone.
After all, the base in the World War II zone was too large, making it impossible to grab the traffic.
After days of playing the game, Kong Yang found a suitable identity, being an Imperial soldier, and because of his current location.
He attracted quite some traffic, even changing the title of his live stream room to.
[Dream Back to S1, Breakthrough Arden Forest!]
Many Blue Star viewers were drawn in by this title, and now, Kong Yang, as a rank-and-file soldier, was walking in the rear of his team, heading to the border.
Watching the new viewers who were unaware of the situation, Kong Yang explained:
"Currently, after the Imperial side declared war on France, they dispatched troops into Belgium, dividing the army into five paths advancing toward France."
"My team’s heading to the Arden Forest."
"Frankly speaking, I feel like this Arden Forest is the main artery of Europe?"
"In World War II, the Empire broke through Arden Forest to blitz France, domineering the whole of Europe."
"At the end of World War II, the Allies broke through Arden Forest, smashing the Empire’s counterattack dreams."
"Now it’s the era of World War I."
"The Empire still wants to break through via the Arden Forest, attacking France."
"Truly the main artery here."
"It’s a pity, the new game doesn’t have official ranks."
"Otherwise, if I were an officer."
"I’d directly replicate World War II, Blitzkrieg breakthrough of Arden Forest, and blitz France."
Watching Kong Yang boasting, viewers on the Blue Star in the live stream couldn’t help but comment:
[You just brag away, the France in World War I is much tougher than in World War II, didn’t you see the CG?]
[Exactly, and in World War II, the Empire relied on the steel torrent, whereas in World War I, they didn’t have it; if you really try, CG’s French soldiers might not even be your match.]
[Don’t even mention fighting, just looking at CG’s depiction of Verdun makes me shiver, but the French soldiers really fought hard.]
Kong Yang looked at the comments and waved his hand:
"No worry."
"I still believe in the Empire."
"Though the era hasn’t developed well, the combat power of Imperial soldiers is unquestionable."
"It’s not just French soldiers that are tough, on the other side of Verdun, there are also Imperial soldiers."
"I need to be careful this time."
"In just a week, already four sessions are underway."
"It’s so hard to survive a bit longer and earn some merits!"
Kong Yang complained here, then in the game, after several days of marching and skipping, the 5th Army Group he belonged to had secretly arrived at the Arden Forest.
