How should I put it... more or less, it felt a bit reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it couldn't be determined. After all, these were just analyses, and the specifics still depended on the subsequent development in the game \"Second World War: Rise of the Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ming opened the real-time map on the Polar Star official website again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the Japanese plane formation had just returned to the previous assembly base, and troops were still gathering, clearly having further actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it couldn't be seen yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the time in the game had gradually reached late at night.
