Chapter 217

At this time.

Inside Yu Feng's livestream room.

Many Blue Star players addicted to Polar Star's games have developed a habit similar to chasing dramas.

Every day when they are free, they will click into Yu Feng's livestream room to take a look.

Because it is a constant battle between the two sides, there is no option to skip the plot.

Yu Feng livestreams for a day on Blue Star, and the plot in the game only goes through two or three days at the fastest, because the battle between the two sides almost never stops.

After the US Federation occupies the position during the day.

When it gets dark, the Volunteer Army will attack and recapture the position, so there is no free time to skip the plot at all.

And the Blue Star players also witnessed with their own eyes how this battle expanded step by step.

Fighting until now.

Half a month has passed in the game's plot.

This small highland in front of Shangganling, which was originally guarded by only 2 companies, has now gathered the main force of the US Federation's 7th Division and the main force of the Volunteer Army's 15th Army.

Both sides started a tragic battle for contention.

In Yu Feng's perspective.

At this time, in the US Federation base in front of Shangganling in the distance, military trucks are transporting shells and supplies, preparing to start a new round of attacks.

Yu Feng says:

"The US Federation is transferring shells from other regions."

"According to the internal news I collected here."

"The US Federation has fired no less than 1.9 million shells in this half month, but it still hasn't destroyed the Volunteer Army's defensive system; the Volunteer Army's defense is too strong."

"The US Federation soldiers or high-level officials must have collapsed, right?"

"Who still remembers the US Federation's original goal?"

"That's right."

"The US Federation is paving the way for the upcoming federation election."

"The commander-in-chief of the US coalition forces, Clark, the commander-in-chief of the US Federation's 8th Army, Van Fleet, and the commander-in-chief of the puppet army in the south, these three people inspected the front line several times."

"They researched such a point where the Volunteer Army's defense was weak."

"They originally wanted to capture the position for public opinion propaganda, but 1.9 million shells didn't destroy the Volunteer Army's defense."

"Who wouldn't collapse?"

"There is even more absurd news."

"I only found out last night."

"It is said that before the 'Showdown Action' started, the US Federation's high-level officials gave a casualty limit."

"How many people do you guess?"

Looking at Yu Feng's selling of the suspense, the barrage in the livestream room guessed one after another:

[20 people?]

[50, after all, the Volunteer Army's combat power is obvious to all.]

[???]

[You really don't treat those 18 artillery battalions as people, 10 people.]

[After the first wave of bombing, many US Federation soldiers who went to the highland died, 50 people.]

Everyone sent barrages and said.

Yu Feng waited for a while, until the discussion dissipated a bit, and then continued to say with a smile:

"200 people."

As the voice fell, the livestream room was silent, followed by a screen full of question marks.

[????]

[How many? How many did you say?]

[Is the US Federation so unconfident in its own troops? 200 casualty quota?]

[Holy crap, this is a bit too conservative, right?]

[18 artillery battalions supporting, fighting 2 companies, and there is still a 200-person casualty quota?!]

[Too absurd!]

Yu Feng said with a smile:

"That's right."

"You didn't hear it wrong, it is a 200-person casualty quota."

"In the US Federation's plan,"

"18 artillery battalions supporting, 200+ sorties of aircraft bombing, 2 regiments of troops attacking the Volunteer Army's 2 companies' positions, the US Federation can have a 200-person casualty quota."

"As long as the position is captured, and the number of casualties is within 200,"

"the US Federation can let reporters hype it up."

"This is their victory, they defeated the Volunteer Army without any pressure."

"But everyone has seen the process."

"It didn't succeed."

"Now the situation is that the US Federation can't get off the stage, constantly reinforcing, and the Volunteer Army is also constantly reinforcing."

"The number of casualties has long exceeded 200."

"In just this half month, the number of casualties on the coalition side has already reached over 3,000."

"The artillery firepower bombing has already far exceeded the peak value of the world war in the World War II era."

Yu Feng looks at the battlefield in the distance, where both sides are still fiercely fighting for contention.

The surface positions of the two small highlands in front of Shangganling have been lost, and of course, they really couldn't continue to defend. Looking from the magnified perspective of Yu Feng's livestream room.

The two small highlands in front of Shangganling, after experiencing half a month of wild bombing.

The surface rock layer has basically been blown into powder.

The US Federation soldiers walked up, like stepping into a mud pit, one foot could sink 30 centimeters deep, and the trenches and fortifications on the surface position had long been destroyed.

The US Federation occupied the surface position, but the Volunteer Army didn't know how many tunnels they had dug.

Every night they would come out from everywhere to launch a fierce battle for the position with the US Federation.

Both sides refused to give an inch.

And the originally planned propaganda was postponed again and again.

Because fighting to this extent, if the position of Shangganling was not pushed over, or an army of the Volunteer Army was not defeated, it could no longer be considered a victory.

After all, the US Federation's casualties were too great.

It was originally just a small battle.

But fighting to this extent, it must completely destroy the Volunteer Army's defensive line to be considered a victory.

But...

The two small highlands in front of Shangganling were not even taken, let alone destroying the defensive line.

Yu Feng continued to livestream.

The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted until the beginning of November, because November 4th was the day of the US Federation election.

If a victory could be obtained on that day and transmitted back to the US Federation in time, then the US Federation that fought until now would not be considered a failure, so the US Federation's offensive was even fiercer that morning.

It's just a pity that it didn't have any effect.

Around noon, the US Federation's offensive stopped abruptly.

The Volunteer Army might not have known what was going on.

But Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room knew clearly, because the US Federation election ended at noon, and the results were already out.

This was a battle to hype up the election, and continuing to fight was useless.

Because they had already lost.

Immediately after, the US Federation troops began to withdraw, but the US Federation did not intend to just leave like this, after all, leaving in a gray way was still too shameful.

They ordered the puppet army in the south to continue attacking the Shangganling position.

The US Federation provided artillery support, but the US Federation's own soldiers had already withdrawn to the rear to drink coffee, leaving only the puppet army soldiers in the south to fight the Volunteer Army desperately under the US Federation's orders.

Seeing this scene.

Many Blue Star netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but sigh again that war is a game of big countries.

Just like in World War II.

Even Poland, which had a million-strong army, was an existence that could be kneaded at will by the Empire and the Soviet Federation, and even after the Empire failed, Poland was kneaded at will by the Soviet and completely controlled its life and death.

Look at the puppet army in the south now.

At the US Federation's order.

The puppet army in the south didn't dare to retreat at all, and could only fight the Volunteer Army to the death, while the US Federation's own soldiers had already withdrawn to the rear to drink coffee.

For the subsequent battles, although Yu Feng continued to livestream, he collected more data.

As time goes by.

In the plot, the US Federation announced the failure of the "Showdown Action" a week after the election ended, but it was not reported too much.

Clearly, the US Federation also knew this was a shameful thing.

Under the US Federation's order, the puppet army in the south held on for another half month, and only then withdrew under the US Federation's order, and the Shangganling battle ended here.

Looking back at the beginning.

The US Federation just wanted to use a victory to support the federation election, and even prepared enough to give a 200-person casualty quota, as long as it was within this casualty number, it was considered a victory.

But the result.

The third-party statistics showed that the total casualties of the coalition forces reached over 24,000.

The US Federation internally claimed that including the puppet army in the south, there were about 19,000 casualties.

Although the US Federation's internal statistics were 5,000 less.

But their original goal was just to capture two small positions for propaganda, with casualties controlled within 200, and no one expected that the final battle would have a higher combat loss ratio than Iwo Jima in the World War II era.

In Yu Feng's [Single-player Plot Mode], he also returned to the US Federation after the Shangganling battle ended.

At this time, the new US Federation leader had taken office and was cleaning up the mess left by the previous one.

After all, the Shangganling battle was launched to hype up public opinion, and now it failed, and the casualties were so great, the public opinion in the US Federation could not be suppressed at all.

Yu Feng collected the situation in the US Federation within a month after the election ended in the newspaper office, and after reading it, he said to the Blue Star friends in the livestream room:

"The impact of the Shangganling battle is still too great."

"It's been more than a month, and the public opinion in the US Federation can no longer be controlled."

"Now the newly appointed one in the US Federation has only two choices."

"One is to expand the war and continue to fight until victory to suppress domestic public opinion."

"Two is to negotiate a ceasefire, finish the negotiations quickly to end the war, and then reorganize the federation internally."

"According to the information I learned, the second option is more likely."

"After all, the previous US Federation chose war, which is why they launched the 'Showdown Action' during the election to hype up the election."

"But they lost in the election, which shows that the US Federation's public is still more on the side of ending the war."

"Wait for me to start skipping the plot, and the results will be out soon."

Yu Feng said, and the Blue Star friends in the livestream room also nodded in anticipation.

Soon.

Just when Blue Star was having dinner in the evening, Yu Feng's [Single-player Plot Mode] had already fast-forwarded to getting the latest news.

At this time.

Yu Feng's plot had already arrived at the end of January 1953, and the new US Federation president was also hoping for peace talks.

From the various internal orders, the process of peace talks was already being pushed.

Yu Feng continued to skip the plot.

But suddenly, an unexpected piece of news instantly ignited "Earth" at that time.

As Yu Feng in the [Single-player Plot Mode] skipped the plot to February.

The leader of the Soviet Federation suddenly passed away.

This news quickly swept the world, and even Yu Feng didn't dare to continue skipping the plot, immediately sending people to collect various news, for fear of missing a single point.

The Blue Star players in the livestream room also gasped.

Holy crap.

The turmoil caused by this is probably no less than the Empire's leader starting World War II.

Since the victory of World War II, the Soviet's hardline policy towards various countries on the European continent is obvious to all, and the initiator of all this.

Was that person from the Soviet.

Now that he has suddenly passed away, the Soviet's subsequent actions will concern the situation of the whole world.

Will the Soviet Federation continue to maintain its hardline policy, will domestic turmoil be triggered, and will the surrounding satellite countries have other thoughts?

These are all uncertain unknowns.

Yu Feng added more reporters to go to all parts of the world to collect information and intelligence.

At the same time, he also used the newspaper's funds to offer rewards to collect various gossip.

However, although the actions were already fast, they were not as fast as the official actions. Yu Feng arranged for an afternoon and sent people out.

Before waiting for the news.

The US Federation's official newspapers had already begun public opinion propaganda, using various public opinion guesses, coupled with the US Federation's various actions to confuse and pressure.

Although many looked like they were fake at a glance.

But this critical point.

When the Soviet has no leader, no one dares to bet on what the US Federation will do next.

Those fake news also became half-true and half-false.

It became a psychological tactic launched by the US Federation against the Soviet Federation.

A few days later.

Yu Feng really felt the anxiety within the Soviet Federation, because although they had facilitated negotiations before, the Soviet Federation was not in a hurry.

But now only a few days have passed.

The attitude of the Soviet Federation has changed, as if they want to end the Peninsula War as soon as possible.

They also began to promote the ceasefire negotiations on the Peninsula.

This time.

The new US Federation government promoted the ceasefire, the Soviet Federation promoted the ceasefire, and the Republic naturally didn't need to be said, it was originally a strategy of fighting while talking.

Now that they still have the upper hand, they can naturally negotiate.

So various countries in the world found that under the consistent intention of these three parties, the negotiations were restored so smoothly.

There was not even a ripple.

This scene.

Made the Blue Star netizens have strange expressions.

This...

In the end, it is still the strong who are respected.

So many countries, European, East Asian, World War II victors like the British and French federations, etc.

The ceasefire that had been promoted for two years without any progress.

Now that the goals of the three parties are consistent, the negotiations were restored surprisingly smoothly, as if the previous contradictions had not happened.

The negotiations on the Peninsula began to recover.

But the election within the Soviet Federation had not yet ended.

Because no successor was designated, this period of the Soviet Federation election also gave the US Federation a chance to secretly make trouble.

And the new leader, although continuing the previous policy,

was much more relaxed in his methods towards various countries in Europe, especially the satellite countries.

After all, the Soviet Federation can no longer afford big turmoil now.

And this short month also let the US Federation see the problems within the Soviet Federation.
