Chapter 45

No one expected that the situation had reached this point.

The Federation had not given up.

With the start of the Dunkirk evacuation in Bai Xiang's livestream room, a steady stream of soldiers were picked up by fishing boats and taken back to the British Federation.

And in Mo Xiaomo's livestream room, the armored army where she was located still hadn't received the advance order from the Imperial Head of State.

Watching the Federation soldiers retreat less and less.

And the players on the Imperial side had already started cursing anxiously, even doubting the rationality of this game.

They felt that it was a plot deliberately designed by Zhao Ming.

This situation where more than 300,000 out of 400,000 people could run away belonged to forced intelligence reduction, and they ran to Zhao Ming's account on the Federation Headlines to charge.

Zhao Ming could only say that it was just so dramatic.

He couldn't help it either.

And this explanation further aroused the anger of netizens.

In just a few days.

The growth rate of emotional value in Zhao Ming's system was very fast.

But soon.

The attention of netizens was drawn away by the game; as most of the soldiers in Dunkirk retreated and there was no resistance, Dunkirk was completely occupied by the Empire.

The plots in Mo Xiaomo and Bai Xiang's livestream rooms were also steadily advancing in these few days.

And because of the advance of the Group Army on the French Federation side, when no one reacted.

The French Federation surrendered directly.

Mo Xiaomo's livestream room was full of question marks; what kind of plot is this?

They just surrendered?

Isn't it the strongest army in Europe? Not resisting anymore?

In fact.

Because of the strategic mistakes at the beginning, the chaos of the Federation's command system, and the advance of the Empire's armored troops, the French Federation soldiers who were retreating steadily had long lost confidence.

And inside the French Federation, there was also a split, and a surrender faction appeared.

Various reasons combined to cause the current situation.

With the surrender of the French Federation and the internal split, the Empire's territory expanded again.

The Empire, which originally only occupied a piece of Europe.

At this time, it had actually conquered almost the entire Europe.

Then according to the current territory of the Empire, it will soon face the Soviet Federation?!

This shifted the attention of netizens away.

Because if you want to enter the Hall of Fame of this game and be ranked with World War II celebrities, you have to get the [Normandy Landing Medal], [Stalingrad Medal], and [Moscow Defense Medal].

And Stalingrad and Moscow, after the exploration of players, also knew that they were in the Soviet Federation.

Two wars.

The total casualties added up to nearly five million; what kind of tragic war was it?

To be able to cause such casualties.

Although through the medal introduction, they knew that the National War instances of these two wars would be opened later, but whether they could experience it in the immersive plot caused discussions among players.

Many people ran to Zhao Ming's account to ask.

[Old thief, in the immersive plot, can you participate in the two wars of [Moscow] and [Stalingrad]?]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: Yes, as long as the timeline of the plot reaches there, most players will participate in it; after all, too many people died, so there will always be random ones.]

[When can the background story be fully released, and what about that World War I, will it be in the subsequent plot?]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: The background story needs players to explore and collect; as for World War I, it will be there later... by the way, tell you a secret, during World War I, although there were tanks, there was no complete tank armored tactics."]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: Study the blitzkrieg well, maybe you will randomly become a general, command tank armor, and become the "Guderian" of World War I~~~]

[Holy crap?!]

[Is it real? Then I will directly blitz the French Federation!]

[No, you damn it, finish World War II first!]

[Brothers, don't believe it! This dog thief definitely buried a trap!]

[I haven't finished playing World War II, and you came up with World War I to whet my appetite!!!]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: Not only World War I, but also modern warfare~~]

[???]

[Holy crap? Is it real?!]

[How big a background did you make?!]

[I have one question... if it's modern warfare, can there be teammate voice chat? World War II suffocated me to death!]

[No, where are you all talking about? Don't worry about anything else, can you manage the [Normandy Landings] battlefield, it's unplayable!]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: What's the situation?]

[The leaderboard is all military, is this a military region competition? Why not set up a separate leaderboard for the military, otherwise there is no motivation to struggle, how can you compare with the troops.]

[Polar Star Games Zhao Ming: Don't worry, I'll go check it out.]

[You kid can do things! Go check it out quickly!]

After Zhao Ming communicated with the players, he exited the Federation Headlines, then entered the game forum, and searched for complaints about this aspect.

Quite a few.

The immersive plot has been very popular during this period, and the leaderboard thing hadn't been noticed before, but now it seems to be an oversight.

Zhao Ming opened the game's backend and scanned the leaderboard briefly.

[Current leaderboard [Normandy Landings: Omaha Beach]]

[First place team: Great Xia Federation Central Army, 1st Group..., time: 48 minutes.]

[Second place team: Great Xia Federation Northern Army, 3rd Group..., time: 51 minutes.]

[Third place team: Great Xia Federation Southern Army.....]

[....]

[Fiftieth place team: Antarctic Star Federation, A Group Army.... time: 1 hour 17 minutes.]

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, this....

The speed of the fiftieth place had reached 1 hour 17 minutes; ordinary players forming a team, even if they cleared it, could not reach this result at all.

Then Zhao Ming pulled out the video recordings of the teams on these leaderboards.

The more he watched, the more Zhao Ming frowned.

Well-trained troops, after figuring out the terrain of the beach, although the attack methods were different, the general direction was consistent.

It had become a competition of the overall quality and cooperation of the troops.

Even the first-place Great Xia Federation Central Army, 1st Group Army had outrageous existences; the landing craft hadn't rushed onto the beach, and the ships hadn't docked steadily.

They actually started shooting and took out a machine gun point in seconds.

If it weren't for the game he made and the backend data being fine, Zhao Ming would have suspected that this was cheating???

What kind of Blue Star soldier king is this.

Outrageous.

Looking at these troops from various Federations, Zhao Ming frowned:

"No, I have to increase the intensity."

The settings of NPCs are actually fixed; the firepower of the Imperial defenders is very strong, and suppressing ordinary players is no problem, but facing well-trained troops that constantly explore, it seems a bit insufficient.

With constant training, these troops have figured out the configuration of each firepower point.

Knowing when it is best to attack and when to just hide, it has become a leaderboard farming.

Zhao Ming thought about how to change it.

After a while.

Zhao Ming sat up straight and began to set up a new [Normandy Landings] battlefield in the backend; compared to the fixed settings of NPCs, players have more uncertainty.

Maybe... the Imperial defender faction can be opened.

Originally, it was just a single Allied faction charging, so these Federation troops could figure out the firepower point situation of the Imperial defenders on the beach because they were all fixed.

But if the Imperial defender faction is opened, letting ordinary players serve as defenders, they can choose the location of the fortress.

This not only becomes a faction confrontation between the two sides, but the uncertainty is also greater.

The gameplay will also be more interesting.

Otherwise, the intensity of [Normandy Landings] is indeed very discouraging to ordinary players.

If a game wants to retain people, in addition to the game plot.

Letting players feel the competitive battlefield cannot be less, otherwise there is no hope, and naturally no one will play.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Ming immediately began to modify it.
