It was exactly the Soviet Order of the Red Star that the Soviet veteran's son had once earned in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that this medal is engraved with Huang Hao's name in the game. Huang Hao held the Soviet Order of the Red Star, pointed to the name of the Soviet Federation on it, and said to the live stream room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can also be considered a Red Star warrior of the Soviet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he picked up other things, a \"Stalin pipe\", a \"Soviet engineer shovel\", a \"propaganda poster\" with images and words about defending the motherland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four things, that's all the exclusive souvenirs in the gift box.

Huang Hao then picked up the potato and ate it in three or two bites,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then picked up the gun placed beside him and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after going out did he find that it was evening again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was already evening when he came yesterday, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time he slept in the game seemed to be longer than in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in the direction he came yesterday, he soon saw the soldiers digging trenches. The women and children in the trenches looked at him with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao felt a bit awkward, coughed lightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the captain in the village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers below said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, they are still patrolling over there, do you want me to call them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao glanced at the direction the soldier was pointing and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he walked towards the distance, then stopped and turned to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... how long did I sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier's expression was strange, and he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that cup of vodka, you slept for about 24 hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice fell, the women and children around couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao's face turned red, and he fled in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon found the militia captain patrolling in the west. Seeing Huang Hao coming over, the militia captain looked apologetic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I didn't know you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao hurriedly raised his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, maybe it's because I was too tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go, I can't delay too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The militia captain expressed understanding, then smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've prepared food and everything for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the soldiers also dug for a day, why not rest for another night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao turned to look at the trenches, thought about it, and said helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because he was full of energy after sleeping for a day, and they had dug trenches for a day. It wouldn't be right to rush on the road overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Huang Hao's words, the militia captain had a smile on his face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, I'll call them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're leaving tomorrow, so we need to rest well tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the militia captain's enthusiasm, Huang Hao couldn't help but sigh. The attitude of the Soviet Federation's people towards soldiers is really nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind the militia captain, Huang Hao looked at those trenches and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just relying on these trenches, it's still unlikely to block the Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better find time to take people away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Set up camouflage on these trenches, and you can trap one Imperial tank after another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao was sincerely suggesting to this militia captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The militia captain smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were born, grew up, and grew old here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have been here for generations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should we leave just because the Empire people came?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if we leave, what about Moscow behind us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although we can't help much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as a 'party member', I still have the awareness. Even if I die here, I have to give those guys from the Empire a little color.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's more, we are not fighting alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See these trenches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of pride appeared on the militia captain's face, and he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You soldiers are fighting on the front line, and we who stay in the rear are not doing nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to the time you fought for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trenches like this have been built in the surrounding villages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, the women in our village will go to support Mozhaisk, helping the defenders of Moscow to dig trench lines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that dozens of kilometers have already been dug there, and we have to speed up the progress, otherwise we won't be able to help the motherland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The remaining children will stay with us to resist the Empire's troops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We want the beasts of the Empire to know that the Soviet will never surrender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The militia captain's powerful words smashed into the minds of Huang Hao and the viewers in the live stream room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao was in a trance, as if the person in front of him was not an NPC, but a person who had lived on this land for years with real emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could words containing such emotions be spoken by an NPC?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sense of inexplicable shock, Huang Hao wanted to upload this conversation, but suddenly remembered that the activity had ended, but it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao uploaded this video to Tian Sha Live, in his personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on this side, he followed the militia captain to call back the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was taken to the room by the militia captain, and then started to light a fire. This time, there was no persuasion to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone was full, the soldiers who had worked for a day slowly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Huang Hao, who couldn't sleep, walked out of the room, looked at the women and children who were still working, and joined the digging team until midnight approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women and children gradually couldn't hold on, and the digging today was finally completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Huang Hao climbed out, sat on the edge of the trench, feeling the pain and soreness of the whole body simulated by the virtual cabin, and stared blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such labor is very hard, and digging such deep trenches is even more laborious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't dare to imagine how these women and children persisted, and they still have to support Moscow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring blankly for a while, Huang Hao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the barrage in the live stream room, he opened the Polar Star official website and directly found the real-time map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opened it and projected it into the live stream room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what the militia captain said during the day and the communication during dinner, Huang Hao soon found his location and the location of Mozhaisk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he didn't know what the gray lines on the map were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the militia captain's explanation, plus the long gray line in Mozhaisk, it's not hard to guess that these represent trenches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such trenches are spread across the villages in front of Moscow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Moscow, there are three long trenches. Some players calculated roughly, just based on the calculation on the map, the length of those three lines combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, it is over 500 kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it is still being dug. By the time the Empire attacks, I'm afraid it will be seven or eight hundred kilometers long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This calculation shocked the Blue Star players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the scene of digging trenches in this village is right in front of them, only women and children, men have all gone to the front line, how many people must be mobilized to dig such long trenches?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cohesion of the Soviet is once again reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Hao waited for the next day to set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Sha streamer Duan Yu, who was in Leningrad, was not so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he died in the instance dungeon, Duan Yu, who restarted after it ended, entered the game again.
