Chapter 119: Anti-War Competition Awards, [WWI] Preemptive Data (6.4k two-in-one)

Blue Star players and those military experts were also unclear about the situation and didn't dare to make comments.

After all, this game has too many illogical places. What if the Imperial head of state's personnel change operation has some deep meaning?

If they guessed wrong, wouldn't they be mocked.

So for a time, there were quite a few discussions, but no one came out to express their views.

Just waiting for the progress in the game to see if there were any changes.

Until a week later in the game.

Blue Star players and experts discovered that they seemed to have thought too much... this has a fart deep meaning.

Changing it didn't stop the Soviet counterattack.

The Imperial troops kept retreating. The front line that had already reached the outskirts of Moscow, and could even see the dome of the Kremlin, was pushed back by the Soviet counterattack by one or two hundred kilometers at this time.

It had already been pushed to the range of the defense line conceived by the Imperial Army commander, Marshal Bock.

Originally, Bock planned to survive the winter here and then counterattack.

However, before the troops were all withdrawn, the order of Bock's resignation and then the Imperial head of state replacing him was passed out.

And after replacing him, it seemed there was no change.

It still pushed to the defense line planned by Bock, and did not show any momentum of counterattack.

Blue Star players couldn't help but have toothaches.

This damn... so we guessed for nothing for more than a week?

But thinking about it, in this situation, there is no way, right?

And in the game.

With the constant transfer of troops from the Soviet Far East, the Empire had already given up the offensive and changed to full defense. This war of attrition also seemed to have reached its end.

At this time.

Tian Sha live broadcast, game area.

In the live broadcast room of Cheng Yu, a streamer in the Imperial camp,

Cheng Yu was sitting in front of the stove in the command post, warming his hands on the stove. At this time, the temperature in Moscow had reached minus 40 degrees, and even if he was sticking to the stove in the house, he still felt cold.

The troops Cheng Yu was in had already retreated to the defense line envisioned by the Imperial Command.

Next, they would turn from offensive to defensive and stabilize the entire defense line.

Cheng Yu was warming himself by the fire while talking to the live broadcast room:

"Why is this Soviet Union so cold."

"Outrageous."

"Colder than the Slavic side on our Blue Star."

"The inside of the tank is frozen and cracked, do you believe it? The oil is frozen, and the tank armor and so on have completely become a pile of scrap iron."

"When will this be the end?"

The time in the game compared to reality has been accelerated. One day in reality, it might be two days in the game,

If it's fast, it might even jump over four or five days.

But even so, Cheng Yu still felt that time passed slowly.

This winter is too long.

So long that jumping over it constantly every day, he couldn't bear it.

He didn't dare to think that if it were at the normal time flow rate, how difficult it would be to endure. Just thinking about it made him desperate.

Cheng Yu complained.

On the other side, in Mo Xiaomo's live broadcast room.

Some friends posted Cheng Yu's complaints. Mo Xiaomo was also in a simple command post, the kind built with temporary civilian houses, and looking at the bullet screens, she couldn't help but complain:

"Minus 40 degrees, it sounds like it's freezing them, not freezing us!"

"Do you think Soviet soldiers are no different from midsummer at minus 40 degrees?!"

"We are also cold!!!"

Saying this, Mo Xiaomo took off her shoes, revealing the things padded inside. The shoes were stuffed with straw for cold protection.

"See, the conditions are not as good as the Empire side."

"Here, we stuff some straw into the shoes, which is considered an extra layer of protection."

"The conditions are very difficult."

Saying this, she put on her shoes and huddled by the stove.

"We are not fighting here, but those 'NPCs on Earth' are still fighting."

"It's freezing to death in this cold weather."

"I don't know when it will end."

The duration of this 【Battle of Moscow】 dungeon had been so long that Blue Star players were annoyed, so they developed war-weariness. So when the "Earth NPCs" were fighting fiercely,

Blue Star players were all warming themselves by the fire in their command posts.

Anyway, because of Polar Star's arrangement, they were all in the peripheral areas of the battlefield pecking at each other, and whether they fought or not didn't affect the entire war situation.

It was those Blue Star players who were randomly assigned as NPC commanders, and players challenging the 【Moscow Defense】 medal, who were suffering now.

Mo Xiaomo chatted with the live broadcast room for a while, and found that she couldn't analyze the current war situation. Basically, it was a war of attrition. Mo Xiaomo opened the game area of Tian Sha live broadcast.

Wanted to see the content of other live broadcast rooms.

Just entered the game area.

She saw the popular Duan Yu live broadcast room 【Leningrad Survival Challenge, 47/100 days】. Mo Xiaomo clicked in, somewhat curious about why the popularity was so high.

Just opened Duan Yu's live broadcast room, and saw Duan Yu holding a hunting rifle, shouting "Die", "Die!!!" and other words desperately.

Mo Xiaomo adjusted Duan Yu's live broadcast room and placed it on the other side of her own live broadcast room.

Watching it with the friends in the live broadcast room.

At this time.

Duan Yu in the game had bloodshot eyes.

The hunting rifle in his hand was firing at several cursing, flushed strong men in the distance.

Bang!

Bang!

The sudden gunshot in the silent city stimulated many people's nerves.

But there were more yellow and thin figures, looking at everything outside the window numbly through the windows, faintly able to feel the fragrance in the air, but this fragrance made many people retch.

Bang!

Watching the few flushed big men disappear, Duan Yu, holding the hunting rifle, sat on the ground.

The cold snow stimulated his skin. Duan Yu struggled to get up. The city defense army would come over soon.

Expecting the city defense army to make decisions was obviously impossible, and they might even find it troublesome and solve him directly.

Duan Yu got up with the hunting rifle, swaying towards the alley next to him.

He was caught by those flushed big men, perhaps because he was relatively thin, so after catching him, they threw him directly into the alley.

The hunting rifle in Duan Yu's hand was taken after he woke up and exploded with all his strength.

That's how the scene just now happened.

Those flushed big men didn't have time to pick up the guns before being scared away by his continuous shots, and there were two hunting rifles in the alley. Duan Yu prepared to take them all as self-defense weapons.

Thinking of what he almost experienced just now, Duan Yu was suspicious and uncertain, and the fragrance faintly coming from the air.

Made Duan Yu, who hadn't walked into the alley, stop and lean against the wall.

Ugh—he couldn't help but retch, the feeling of his stomach churning almost vomited his internal organs.

Duan Yu hurriedly bent down and grabbed the snow on the ground, stuffing it into his mouth.

Until the ice and snow numbed his mouth, he calmed down, his eyes were red, he kept panting, and looked into the alley.

Following Duan Yu's gaze, there was a big pot deep in the alley.

Several dilapidated sheds, covered with some scattered clothes, seemed to be for cold protection.

Duan Yu, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but retch again.

But knowing that he couldn't stay here for long, Duan Yu bit his teeth hard, closed his eyes, rushed into the alley, picked up the scattered two hunting rifles and some bullets, and rushed out of here on his knees.

Running forward without stopping, not knowing where the destination was.

Watching this scene.

Many new friends didn't understand the situation, nor did they understand why this live broadcast room was so popular.

The old friends were silent for a long time before recovering, explaining to the new friends.

【The popularity of the live broadcast room is because Duan Yu was just tied up by a few NPCs.】

【A few friends who like to watch the fun posted it on the Internet, and many people came to watch the fun.】

【But what happened later...】

【No, I can't say it, just thinking about it makes me physically nauseous.】

【I'll tell you this.】

【Now in Leningrad, let alone food, there is not even bread mixed with sawdust. Photon supercomputing collected video statistics on the Internet, and Leningrad is starving to death 7,000 to 10,000 people every day.】

【At first, watching Duan Yu being tied up by a few NPCs was watching the fun, but you think about why those few big men were flushed in this situation?】

【Why did they catch Duan Yu, why did Duan Yu keep retching just now...】

【No, can't say it.】

【Thinking of the scene just now, I'm nauseous too, damn!!!】

After this old friend finished speaking, he also exited the live broadcast room, not knowing whether he went to vomit or what he went to do.

Some who reacted slowly hadn't reacted yet, but some who reacted quickly had already started brushing question marks and shocked profanity all over the screen.

【????】

【Is it what I think? Damn! I shouldn't have clicked in?!】

【Outrageous! Too outrageous!】

【What's the situation? Saying it vaguely?】

【You still don't understand? I...】

【Ah ah ah ah ah, help, the food I made can't be eaten.】

【Big pot, various scattered clothes, flushed big men, you think about it...】

Mo Xiaomo looked at those comments, and at this moment, no matter how slow she reacted, she reacted:

"Ugh—"

Couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Escaped from the live broadcast room quickly, rushed into the bathroom, the sound of the faucet turning on sounded, and the sound of gargling.

After a while, she returned to the live broadcast room. Mo Xiaomo was still in a messy state:

"Brothers, let me recover..."

Obviously hadn't recovered yet, and only recovered a little after a long time:

"This this this this."

Wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, and in the end could only squeeze out a sentence:

"Is it this outrageous?"

The Blue Star friends in the live broadcast room had better acceptance, brushing bullet screens.

【How should I put it... although outrageous, it's also normal.】

【Analyze the situation in Leningrad and you will understand. Now it is January 1941. Leningrad has been besieged for four months, and the material warehouse was bombed before.】

【At the end of November 1940, materials were already insufficient, and each person could only be allocated 125 grams of bread mixed with sawdust and glue every day.】

【The provided calories were only more than 100 calories, barely enough to maintain life.】

【This was November, by December the supplies were basically cut off, and even the sawdust bread that maintained life was not issued.】

【By now, January 1941, Leningrad is starving to death 7,000 to 10,000 people on average every day. This number is sometimes more than the casualties in Moscow.】

【In this situation, what crazy things people do... are all possible.】

【Including what was seen in the live broadcast room just now, after all, there are such records on Blue Star, although many historical records are incomplete, the classics dug up before also recorded 'In that year of great drought, the people exchanged children to eat'.】

【So...】

This friend's analysis made many people in the live broadcast room agree.

But agreeing is agreeing, many friends still couldn't accept it, this is already inhumane...

The things that happened in Duan Yu's live broadcast room also had various recorded videos spread everywhere.

The comments on the Internet were also divided into two poles. Some felt it was reasonable, it was just a plot, don't be so serious. Some felt it was too inhumane, harmful to the physical and mental health of the public, and demanded a strict investigation of Polar Star Company and a ban on this game.

For a time.

Polar Star Company was pushed to the forefront because of this plot.

But Zhao Ming sat in the company, watching the comments unhurriedly. This kind of public opinion storm was not the first time.

Most of them were naval forces, or a small number of people who really felt it damaged their physical and mental health...

Zhao Ming searched, in these plots.

The big pot in the alley in the video, looking from Duan Yu's various perspectives, that was a big pot... without revealing any uncomfortable or bloody scenes.

The reason for strict investigation and banning was fundamentally untenable.

It's just that the public opinion is very large now, but it's also normal.

Because the 【Anti-War Competition】 is only one day away from ending, currently "World War II: Rise of the Empire" is also far ahead in the game areas of other federations.

And because of the Golden Moon Federation prince.

He himself is a hot spot, and also a super tycoon guild leader of a large myth game, but was beaten through the main city by a "Blitzkrieg" by a player called "Disciple of Guderian", and then the Golden Moon Federation prince went to play "World War II: Rise of the Empire" to learn military tactics.

It also triggered quite a bit of craze in the Golden Moon Federation. Those tycoons or civilians who worshipped the prince poured into the game one after another.

It's just that "World War II: Rise of the Empire" has no recharge button, which is bad for these tycoons, but it also makes these tycoons feel that this game is really something... after all, it doesn't circle money, it must be made with heart.

In the minds of many Golden Moon Federation tycoons, they have already imagined that the boss of this game company is a person who has exhausted his life's learning to create the game he wants!

Not those guys who are like ordinary people just to make games to make money.

Zhao Ming didn't know his image, and it was inexplicably much taller in the hearts of those Golden Moon Federation tycoons.

At this time.

Shen Qinghan also came to Polar Star Company.

Walked into the office, watching Zhao Ming leaning on the boss chair, holding a teacup in one hand, watching the hot search on the virtual projection panel, unhurried, Shen Qinghan said:

"You are quite leisurely."

"Don't you control the public opinion on the Internet?"

Zhao Ming put down the cup and said:

"No need."

"Although the plot is designed like that."

"But I watched those videos, except for a pot, you can't see anything at all."

"Those so-called damage to physical and mental health are completely imagined."

"Let them make trouble."

"It just so happens that the 【Anti-War Competition】 is about to end, so treat it as advance publicity."

Shen Qinghan nodded, then said:

"It looks stable, and then it's this year's 【Anti-War Competition】 awards."

"It's usually held on the seventh day after the online statistics results come out."

"This year's awards party is in the Golden Moon Federation, so just go out and walk around."

"Are there any arrangements for the game?"

"For example, new versions, or new national war dungeons, can all be promoted at the awards party."

Then Shen Qinghan took out her mobile phone and sent the sorted documents over:

"These are the awards ceremonies of the past few years."

"You can take a look at what will be promoted, and the effect is not bad."

Zhao Ming received the virtual projection document sent by Shen Qinghan and clicked to take a look.

They were all short speeches at the party, and then launched introductions or CGs for several subsequent versions of the game. Although the time was not long, it was clear and clear, and the expectations were fully pulled.

Zhao Ming looked at it for a few times, then said:

"Okay, I understand."

"At the party, prepare a few CGs."

"It just so happens that in a few days, the 【Battle of Moscow】 in the game will be almost over."

"Taking advantage of the awards ceremony, launch the 【WWI】 【Cold War】 【Modern War】 these three version CGs."

Data.

"After that... it's the 'Earth' IP series products."

"Wait for the Federation's support to come down, the 'Earth' IP series products can be launched."

"During this period, according to player feedback."

"I asked the factory to make twice as much vodka, and see the effect then."

Shen Qinghan had no objection, but looking at Zhao Ming's office, she said:

"The company address also needs to be changed."

"After the awards end, the 'Earth' IP series products are launched, not just videos, wine and drinks, but also some peripheral products, game cultural products, etc. This small company of more than ten people definitely can't be busy."

"Especially since it mainly relies on you to update the game, those ten people maintaining 'Cyber Blue Star: 2077' can almost be said to have no effect."

"Must expand the scale and recruit people."

Hearing this, Zhao Ming's head was a bit big:

"It looks so troublesome."

"How about this..."

Zhao Ming transferred the 300 million agency fee from the Antarctic Star Federation and the 500 million agency fee from the Golden Moon Federation to Shen Qinghan:

"Recruiting people, I'll leave it to you, senior sister."

"And the company house."

"Anyway, there are 800 million, you see where the land in the suburbs of Donghai City is better, let's buy it directly,"

"Build a Polar Star Company park directly, and divide several different areas for future use."

"The decoration of the entrance area should be placed in the game, some decorations from the WWII period."

"As for other departments, do you see if you arrange to recruit people directly, or should I plan with photon supercomputing and then recruit?"

Shen Qinghan rolled her eyes at Zhao Ming:

"You... want to tire me to death."

"Forget it, I'll arrange it."

Letting photon supercomputing plan it once is not as good as her arranging it directly, why waste that second time.

But thinking of the huge company to be formed, Shen Qinghan also had a headache.

There are too many departments needed, and after the 【Anti-War Competition】, it is no longer just a game company, but also designs food, wine, game culture, peripherals, etc., and will be busy for a while.

Shen Qinghan rubbed her temples, start from scratch, then looked at Zhao Ming:

"You prepare the CG."

"It will be used at the 【Anti-War Competition】 awards party in a few days."

"By the way, is the complete historical CG of the 【Republic】 done?"

"The Northern Army is still asking."

Zhao Ming picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, smiling and saying:

"It's done."

"But wait until the 【Anti-War Competition】 ends."

"This CG data is too long, not suitable for showing at the awards party."

"Wait until the party ends, come back and hold a press conference."

"The kind that lasts for several hours."

"Put out all the subsequent series of 【WWI】 【Cold War】 【Modern War】 and 【Republic History】 etc., preemptive data."

"Hook the players hard."

Saying this, a "kind" smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ming's mouth.

Shen Qinghan's mouth moved, looking at the evil smile on Zhao Ming's face.

You've had enough...

You are definitely thinking about how to torture players, right?

Shen Qinghan couldn't help but hold her forehead:

"Okay, stop."

"It looks like a bad smile."

"By the way, the 【Republic】 dungeon in the game, didn't you say it was exclusively for the Great Xia Federation, why is it open again."

Zhao Ming said:

"It's different."

"What is open to our Blue Star Great Xia Federation is the plot of the modern era of the 【Republic】 in the game, and 70 years after the founding of the 【Republic】."

"And the tactics involved in this, and so on, far exceed the current Blue Star level."

"Internal digestion first, although it is said that there will be no fighting on Blue Star at present, these strategic tactics are still better known by ourselves."

"And the 'Earth' 【Republic】 history in the game open to players."

"It is from the ancient times to the modern era of the 【Republic】. You can treat it as a complete CG movie, and the main content on this timeline is the various dynasties of China in the 'Earth' in the game."

"Didn't you say before that our Blue Star has missing history because of the meteor shower?"

"I thought about it and felt it was the same."

"So I made these historical series of themed CG data to warm up first."

"Wait until the 【WWII】 【WWI】 【Modern War】 series of modern wars are fought, and players must be allowed to experience how ancient wars are fought."

"They have learned modern tactics like 'Blitzkrieg' and 'Deep Operations', so they must be given a chance to display them... After all, having been beaten in modern wars for so long, as smart modern people, fighting ancient people shouldn't be a problem, right?"

At the end, a "kind" smile appeared on Zhao Ming's face again.

Shen Qinghan nodded, understood.

Going to torture players again, right? After modern torture, ancient torture... you really have it.

Shen Qinghan got up:

"Okay, that's it."

"You hurry up and study, I'll go arrange for someone to find a temporary building to use as a workplace."

Saying this, she walked outside, and Zhao Ming sent Shen Qinghan out.

Then he returned to his boss chair and sat down, opened the game database, and looked at the current time in the game.

There are only seven days left until the end of the 【Battle of Moscow】.

But the time flow in the game is faster than reality, so the 【Battle of Moscow】 will end about three days before the 【Anti-War Competition】.

Zhao Ming will launch the subsequent data films such as 【WWI】 【Cold War】 【Modern War】 at the 【Anti-War Competition】 awards three days later.

Then Zhao Ming thought for a while, ready to make the data concept CG of 【WWI】 first.

Different from the various data films of 【WWII】.

The CG of 【WWI】 must think of an explosive opening.

Otherwise, players who have already experienced various ways of dying in 【WWII】 don't need to go to 【WWI】 to experience it again, there must be an attractive point.

Zhao Ming thought, opened the 【Earth Database】, and searched for the time point before and after 【WWI】.

Then thought for a while, and searched for a name.

Then many materials popped up. Zhao Ming clicked on one of them, and a photo popped up. Looking at that photo,

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ming's mouth.

If Blue Star players see this CG opening, they will definitely be shocked.

Because...

If this shot is fired, it might change the whole world.

Because...

If this shot were fired, it might change the entire world.
