Chapter 83: Official Intervention, Blue Star Online WWII?! (3k)

The Empire's offensive against Kiev actually slowed down.

Then they split off an armored unit and drove straight toward the south.

After advancing just a little bit, Blue Star players, relying on the real-time map, knew the Empire's intention.

They were actually going to wrap the large Soviet army in the south into a dumpling.

And Blue Star players knew this, but the Soviet Federation in the game didn't have the real-time map of the players' God's-eye view.

Players' individual strength was limited and they couldn't report it, or they couldn't see the Soviet Federation commanders at all.

And by the time the Soviet Federation discovered it themselves, it was already too late...

The Empire's troops had almost completely surrounded the large army south of Kiev.

Only one gap remained, and both sides were racing there.

Looking at the city name at the gap, many players were searching for the city name there, wanting to watch the battle that was racing against time.

But as the city name was searched out, their attention was attracted by the official account of the Antarctic Star Federation.

Many players had faces full of question marks.

What's the situation?

Federation official account live streaming a game?

After clicking in.

Looking at the introduction in the live stream room, players realized.

The Antarctic Star Federation official account was live streaming the players fighting the Imperial armored troops, who were the soldiers of the 7th Armored Division of the C Group Army who had just climbed onto the speed ranking at the beginning of the [Normandy Landing].

Unlike the players' single-player immersive plot.

The Antarctic Star Federation was originally playing the [Multiplayer Cooperative Plot] mode, but they randomly rolled into this breakthrough dungeon, which happened to coincide with the general progress in the game.

So they started live streaming directly.

In the live stream room.

The 20 armored soldiers of the Antarctic Star Federation, each commanding a tank crew, relied on their exquisite skills far exceeding the local Soviet Federation tankers.

With twenty tanks, they successfully repelled several attacks by the Empire's armored troops.

This was the first time Blue Star players had intuitively seen someone who could crush the Imperial troops in "Earth."

Before, Blue Star players had been abused miserably on the European battlefield.

Either being bombed by shells or bombed by planes, and if they wanted to do daily tasks, they would be killed by suddenly appearing Imperial troops. Individual strength was limited in the game.

But now, someone was actually able to make the Empire suffer by relying on their skills.

The popularity of the live stream room exploded instantly.

For a time, many netizens flooded into the Antarctic Star Federation's official live stream room to watch how their Blue Star soldiers crushed the Empire's troops.

This made the Antarctic Star Federation official staff happy, and they ordered the soldiers of the 7th Armored Division to perform more extreme operations.

However.

No matter how extreme, there were only 20 people.

After repelling the Empire's armored troops' attacks several times, the Imperial NPCs had already realized that this was a tough nut to crack.

Just half a day later.

When the Imperial troops appeared again, the Antarctic Star Federation was still preparing to show off.

The Stuka bomber group that suddenly appeared in the sky shattered the Antarctic Star Federation's live stream room, a wave of full-coverage air strikes, plus the Imperial armored troops that blocked them.

The Antarctic Star side struggled a few times and was pushed flat by a wave of artillery fire.

Although the popularity came and went quickly.

But this operation opened a new world for other Federations and the Great Xia Federation.

The official accounts of major Federations suddenly all started live streaming.

And they were all in [Multiplayer Cooperative Plot] mode, teaming up to enter "World War II: Rise of the Empire" and starting to live stream the confrontation with the Empire.

Great Xia Federation.

Songger Icefield, 3rd Armored Division.

Inside the 7th Special Operations Brigade.

The soldier on duty received the order and then urgently reported it to Chief of Staff Qu Guang.

Qu Guang looked at the order, nodded, let the soldier on duty go back, and called the clerk:

"How many hours has the Mobile Corps Commander been training?"

Because [Battle of Songgufeng] requires holding for six hours, but it is almost impossible to hold until the end, Shen Yan usually has to retreat after about five hours.

The clerk checked the time and replied:

"Four hours and forty-seven minutes."

Qu Guang nodded and ordered:

"Notify me when the Mobile Corps Commander finishes training."

The clerk said:

"Yes!"

At this time.

Inside [Battle of Songgufeng].

Shen Yan, with two soldiers, curled up in a temporarily dug trench.

Boom!

Boom!

The deafening roar of artillery shells seemed to explode right in his ears, and in fact, it really was.

This small hill only 200 meters high, facing the enemy's bombardment, had almost nowhere to hide, and it was the same wherever it exploded.

As the artillery fire stopped.

Shen Yan turned over, holding a gun that felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and crawled behind an earth mound bunker:

"Fire!!!"

Including him, only three people remained on the small mound, but it hadn't even been five hours yet.

More than an hour... three people...

Just thinking about it was despairing. This situation had happened many times. By now, almost no one was left, and the last hour was the hardest.

Every minute and every second was a torment.

And what was even more despairing was that following Shen Yan's counterattack, the roar of planes sounded in the sky.

A flash of despair crossed Shen Yan's eyes as he looked at the sky:

"Damn..."

It was time to be bombed again.

Hide? There was nowhere to hide?

He didn't know how many times he had folded here before.

It was a full-coverage bombing.

Can this really be endured?

A flash of doubt crossed Shen Yan's eyes, and the enemy below was organizing another attack. Dense bombs fell from the sky, along with incendiary bombs, and the small hill instantly fell into a sea of fire.

Boom!

[Round Ended]

Shen Yan retreated, sat up from the virtual pod, his eyes somewhat hollow.

Even remembering the bombing points didn't work, because depending on their different attack positions, the NPCs would call for bombing support based on their positions.

How can this hold for six hours?

After taking a deep breath, Shen Yan, who had come to his senses, took an orange energy sugar cube from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness of the fruit spread in his mouth, and his exhausted spirit relaxed a lot.

Just as he stood up.

He saw Qu Guang walking over from outside, holding a piece of paper. Shen Yan asked:

"What's the situation?"

"Orders?"

Qu Guang nodded and walked over.

He handed the order in his hand over:

"It's about the game 'World War II: Rise of the Empire'."

Shen Yan took it somewhat surprised:

"Oh?"

"The higher-ups are even managing games now?"

His tone was full of doubt, and he immediately took the order and started reading. After all, this game also had shares from the Shen family, although they were all Shen Qinghan's.

Qu Guang said:

"No."

"It's that the Antarctic Star Federation held a live stream."

"Didn't the Empire in the game launch that so-called 'Operation Barbarossa' recently?"

"When the Antarctic Star Federation was playing [Multiplayer Cooperative Plot], they randomly rolled into the front-line battlefield and became tankers. Those guys are armored experts themselves."

"Although the tanks in 'Earth' are backward, they still performed brilliant operations in their hands."

"The popularity went up instantly. The public also reacted strongly."

"They are looking for our Great Xia Federation's own army everywhere, and other Federations have also started live streaming one after another."

"The order from above has come down."

"Our army group recommended our brigade, so we need to find a group of people to live stream."

"See who is better to lead the live stream."

Shen Yan frowned:

"Show my face... I don't really like it."

"You let Liu Feng lead the people from the 1st Special Battalion to live stream."

Qu Guang smiled and said:

"Are you sure?"

"If you're at ease, then I'll go call them."

Shen Yan thought for a moment, his expression helpless:

"Forget it, I'm really not at ease."

"I'll lead the team myself."

Qu Guang smiled and said:

"Then you have to study it carefully."

"How to show off our prestige."

"The entire Great Xia Federation public is watching, can't lose face."

Shen Yan's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Qu Guang:

"You say that."

"You made me nervous even when I wasn't. If I don't fight well, it's losing face in the entire Federation."

Then he walked toward the conference room with the order, and asked:

"Now in 'World War II: Rise of the Empire', where has the Empire's attack reached?"

"How is the situation?"

Qu Guang said:

"Battle line collapsed, situation chaotic."

"Almost surrounded Kiev."

Shen Yan wasn't surprised; he could see it from the battle line on the first day.

The Soviet side was stunned by the Blitzkrieg, and the whole line collapsed.

But it had been a few days, and the time passed in the game was also a few days more than in reality, and even so, they still hadn't organized a defense.

Then it must be finished.

It's just that Shen Yan couldn't be sure, after all, in terms of land area.

The Soviet Federation is too big.

Big enough to stretch the Empire's supply line to collapse.

The two came to the conference room.

He ordered people to call the 1st Special Battalion to rest, and then Shen Yan searched for the official accounts of other Federations.

And really.

Things like the Free Star Cluster Federation, Gold Moon Federation, Antarctic Star Federation, Slavic Energy Federation, etc., were all live streaming, and not just live streaming in the Great Xia Federation.

Their internal live streams were even hotter.

Seeing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but smile:

"This game is really hot now."

After the preliminary review of the "Anti-War Competition," the shortlisted works had already started to be promoted in major Federations.

And "World War II: Rise of the Empire" was now being live streamed by so many official accounts, the impact could be imagined.

Shen Yan browsed the live streams of other Federation troops and occasionally commented on them.

Until he flipped to the Slavic Energy Federation and saw those guys on the other side of the Songger Icefield, looking at the battle scenes in the video.

Shen Yan's mouth curled up, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed:

"These guys, no progress at all."

"The fighting style is still so old-fashioned."

More importantly, these guys actually randomly rolled into the hidden dungeon [White Death], and are now being brutally abused by Simo Häyhä.

Because it is a 20-person dungeon.

So the so-called elites of the Slavic Energy Federation, looking at the time in the live stream room, had been in the dungeon for an hour and had been killed until only two people were left.
