Chapter 159

~20 min read 3,914 words

The thing the Blue Star netizens expected in their hearts still happened.

With such a "big killer," how could they still hold back? The CG of the sequel just started, and it gave a trump card.

The American Federation President's words revealed the meaning of "nuclear striking" the Republic.

Facing the "nuclear threat," what will the Republic do? This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Xiao Shuo, TTKS. TW, enjoy reading at any time, providing you with error-free chapters and non-disordered chapters.

Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room had this thought flash through their minds.

You have to know that the last one threatened, Japan, surrendered in seconds.

In the CG video, the screen shifted.

It appeared at the high altitude of "Earth," and a silhouette faintly appeared below.

Then there were virtual flags one by one, fluttering on the plates below; in the south was the 17-nation coalition led by the American Federation,

while in the north, the 【Republic】 flag was fluttering in opposition to the American Federation.

Is it really 1v17?

And looking at the flags below moving slowly, it was clearly the American Federation troops being slowly beaten back by the 【Republic】 troops.

So that's why the American Federation President said such things?

The screen shifted.

Several large characters slowly emerged above.

【Republic】 Capital.

At this time, the building complex located in the center of the capital was brightly lit until dawn.

Following the issuance of an order.

The perspective suddenly rose to high altitude, overlooking the entire 【Republic】, one could see the flags fluttering everywhere in the country,

all accelerating and moving, flooding into the place where the 17-nation coalition led by the American Federation was fighting a great battle.

Seeing this scene.

Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but be solemn.

The 【Republic】 didn't compromise at all; could the American Federation... be willing to let it go?

Following the acceleration of the 【Republic】's flag, the American Federation's flag on that half of the island faded away rapidly; it seemed it wasn't used in the end.

Is it over?

No!

The screen flashed again.

The perspective appeared at high altitude, overlooking the "Earth" plate below.

One could see a fleet with the American Federation flag fluttering above it appearing in the southern waters of the 【Republic】, slowly approaching the vicinity of the 【Republic】's Jinmen.

The screen suddenly pulled down and flickered.

【White House】

Press conference.

The man with the words 【American Federation Secretary of State】 labeled beside him was facing hundreds of media reporters,

waving the document in his hand, showing it arrogantly:

"We will use 'new weapons' to protect our allies when necessary."

What "new weapons" were, it went without saying.

It was still a nuclear threat.

Even Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens watching the CG couldn't help but frown, a feeling of being very troublesome and tricky arising spontaneously.

Mainly because this approach was too rogue.

It was like watching those "rogues" in short videos; although it had nothing to do with him, this rogue behavior was truly infuriating.

The screen flashed.

It appeared in the 【Republic】.

At this time, in the newspapers, there was news everywhere about the American Federation Secretary of State's "nuclear threat" at the press conference, and the people in the streets and alleys were all discussing it.

The screen slowly slid across the capital, under the shade of a tree.

Several old men wearing military uniforms with gray hair were cursing the foreign devils of the American Federation.

And the radio placed under the tree was broadcasting the solemn statement of the 【Republic】's Premier in a Northern Jiangsu accent:

"The people of the 【Republic】 are not afraid of atomic bombs, and will never accept nuclear blackmail!"

Still no compromise.

The screen flashed across the capital; at this time, the 【Republic】 people were in a state of being soldiers everywhere; looking from the screen, there were also many drill scenes.

Looking at those simple tunnels.

Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room knew that these absolutely couldn't block nuclear radiation, but none of this mattered.

What shocked them was the belief of the 【Republic】 being of one heart and one mind.

Following the spread of the Premier's Northern Jiangsu-accented broadcast, the people drilling became even more energetic, which made the Blue Star people in the livestream room trance for a while.

What kind of belief was needed to achieve the whole nation being of one heart?

Weren't they afraid?

The 【Republic】's attitude was so tough that the Blue Star netizens watching the CG were all sweating.

But everything in the screen was telling them.

The 【Republic】 and its people would never accept "nuclear blackmail"!

The screen flowed.

The sun and moon flashed, and the perspective slowly descended onto a large Gobi desert.

The sky full of yellow sand filled this place.

And in some part of this Gobi desert, there was a large base; the screen slowly entered the base, and there were busy soldiers everywhere, building this place.

Inside one room after another.

The sound of abacuses clattered.

Making Yu Feng and the Blue Star netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but be confused; what were they doing?

And following the advancement of the screen.

Inside the room.

The figures in one seat after another were pulling the abacuses, not even raising their heads; on the blackboard in front, a long string of data that made people dizzy was written.

Yu Feng pulled out the photonic supercomputer to scan, and soon gave the result.

This was a calculation of the "neutron transport equation."

According to the photonic supercomputer's explanation, numerical methods were needed to calculate the neutron multiplication process to ensure chain reaction efficiency.

Neutron? Multiplication process? Chain reaction efficiency?

What was all this?

And... using an abacus to calculate?!

This was the most confusing thing for the Blue Star people... no?

Can this work???

The viewers in the livestream room couldn't help but doubt life.

This formula would take a long time even with a supercomputer, right?

Looking at the scene in the screen of using an abacus to calculate nuclear weapon formulas, even the Blue Star viewers felt it was too crazy.

But everything was proceeding in an orderly manner on this desert Gobi.

The screen rose to high altitude.

The Earth's rotation accelerated, and the sun and moon flashed.

When the perspective pulled down again.

What appeared this time... was on the Soviet Union's parade ground.

【Moscow Red Square】

This place, which many Soviet faction players were familiar with, was also the place that left the deepest impression; after the initial "Red Square Parade" ended, they immediately rushed to the front line.

It truly shocked a large group of Blue Star players.

And at this time.

At the ceremony of the Red Square Parade, looking at the troops and various new weapons walking below.

Standing on the podium of the Red Square, the man suspected to be the new leader of the Soviet Union shouted threats to reporters from various countries:

"If 'certain' countries want to challenge us."

"They will face a 'destructive blow'."

As the voice fell, this new leader of the Soviet Union slowly looked toward the east.

Who the "certain" countries in the Soviet leader's mouth referred to, it went without saying.

First it was the American Federation.

Then it was the Soviet Union.

The "nuclear threat" like a relay on both sides, just from the perspective of the Blue Star players as bystanders, was suffocating.

This was to force the 【Republic】 to death.

The screen perspective rose.

Then on this Eurasian continent, the phantom of the greedy giant bear was drooling, staring dead at the figure of the red-tongued giant dragon located in the east.

One flag after another representing Soviet troops.

Slowly moved within the Soviet Union to the border bordering the 【Republic】, and scenes and data flashed by.

54 Soviet divisions were lined up at the border, with over a million troops distributed on the east and west sides.

Over 14,000 tanks were deployed in the Far East region, intending to quickly advance into the Northeast Plain.

Over 2,500 combat aircraft.

14 intercontinental missiles from the Far East bases drew arcs, aiming at the entire territory of the 【Republic】, including the 【Republic】's capital, the capital, nuclear research bases, etc.

In the broadcast.

The news that the Soviet Union was going to conduct a surgical nuclear strike on the 【Republic】 spread throughout the world, although many people didn't know if it was true or false.

But the Blue Star netizens watching the CG knew it clearly.

The intercontinental missiles from the 14 bases in the Far East region aimed at all the provinces, cities, and vital targets of the 【Republic】; once it started fighting.

These nearly 500 intercontinental missiles from the 14 bases could really plow through all the vital places of the entire 【Republic】.

Looking at the threatening remarks in the screen, they were actually going to beat the 【Republic】 back to the Stone Age.

The screen switched.

【Republic】 Capital.

The Soviet Union's statement was published in the newspaper.

Facing the threat of a "destructive blow," the broadcast on the streets of the 【Republic】's capital was playing the editorial of the "People's Daily":

"No nuclear threat can scare the people of the 【Republic】 who have stood up!"

The screen suddenly rose to high altitude, overlooking the Eurasian continent below.

Flags also rose below the phantom of the red giant dragon, representing the 【Republic】's troops also heading to the border, but unlike the Soviet Union...

At the border on the east and west sides of the 【Republic】, it was a dark mass.

The perspective fell to the west, located in the Altai region in the northwest of the 【Republic】, ox carts and horse carts carrying rack carts stopped in the village.

Day and night flowed.

Densely packed people ate and slept, all on the carts or around them, and the broadcast was playing the crisis situation.

But no one had a trace of fear in their eyes.

Everyone was waiting for the order from the center, all the way north.

Straight to the Soviet Union region.

The screen flew east violently.

Crossing the vast grassland, it landed on the land of white mountains and black waters,

families gathered in the center of the village; those with hunting guns took hunting guns, those without took shovels, and forks looked ahead.

Ahead.

On a temporarily built wooden platform, red slogans were hung on both sides: 【Atomic bomb is a paper tiger】 【Prepare for war, prepare for famine, learn protection】.

And in the center of the platform was a large wooden board standing, with an old map hung on it; a militia captain held a tree branch in front of the map and explained:

"Once the Soviet Empire's nuclear strike begins."

"We need to divide into three groups."

"The first group will cooperate with the border defense troops to snipe the Russian troops."

"The second group will lead the masses to transfer to the Greater Khingan Mountains."

"The third group will prepare to cross the border line and establish Mobile Corps Commander positions behind enemy lines..."

Following the completion of the distribution and explanation on the platform, then came the constant drill scenes.

Everyone had made all preparations.

And in the broadcasts of various villages.

Anti-nuclear knowledge was played non-stop, echoing between these white mountains and black waters.

"Lie down immediately when you see a flash... do not look directly at the fireball... wash off dust in time..."

Before the Blue Star players could recover from the determination of the 【Republic】 being of one heart and one mind in the CG, the screen suddenly switched to the sky above a forest.

In the screen.

A fighter plane with "August 1st" and a five-pointed star printed on the fuselage, and "Hurricane No. 1" printed on the lower mount, flew low over the dense forest below.

The roaring sound echoed in the dense forest.

Following the direction the fighter plane was moving, the perspective suddenly rose very high.

One could see phantom flags emerging; that was the destination of the fighter plane's advance.

It was exactly the armored cluster of the Soviet Union.

The screen slowly ended, plunged into darkness, and then several large characters emerged.

【Cold War Clouds】

The CG ended here, and Yu Feng's perspective appeared in the main interface again.

It was just that he hadn't fully recovered at this time.

At the end of the CG, the Soviet Union had a million troops at the border, seemingly attacking the 【Republic】 at any time.

And the 【Republic】's attitude of "No nuclear threat can scare the people of the 【Republic】 who have stood up!" was also confirmed in the scene at the end.

The people at the northwest border didn't unharness their oxen or unsaddle their horses, just waiting for an order, all the way north straight to the Soviet Union.

The people at the northeast border were soldiers everywhere, conducting war preparation drills, just waiting for an order, to kill into the Soviet Union and establish bases behind enemy lines.

This kind of whole-nation determination made people's hearts tremble.

Especially at the end of the screen, the scene of the plane carrying a huge "warhead" rushing toward Siberia, the Blue Star players had already guessed that it might be the 【Republic】's nuclear bomb.

But with the 【Republic】's technology, it shouldn't have "intercontinental missiles" like the Soviet Union yet, so it could only use planes to carry nuclear bombs and rush into the Soviet Union's territory.

And what this represented, it went without saying...:

One-way trip.

Four simple words represented a kind of determination, piercing through the CG and hitting everyone's hearts.

Did it start fighting?

What happened to the 【Republic】 in the end?

This was the situation the Blue Star players most wanted to know at present.

However, based on their understanding of Old Thief Zhao, this pit would probably take half a year to play before they knew.

After all, that battlefield of 【Normandy Landing】.

The battlefield that existed since the server opened, turned out to have its plot come out only in 1944, and at that time, there was only one year left until the end of WWII.

The 【Republic】 in the screen experienced several "nuclear threats" plus the previous war.

Obviously, it was impossible to know the result too early.

This made the Blue Star players somewhat itchy, while Yu Feng, after recovering, sighed:

"The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon."

The American Federation and the Soviet Union in the screen were just having won "World War II" on the Blue Star players' side, belonging to the side of justice.

But the "nuclear threat" scenes and means in the CG had already turned into the appearance of the former empire.

However, there were also scenes of the greedy giant bear and the arrogant white-headed eagle partitioning the world in the previous CG, so it wasn't unacceptable.

And this CG also made up for some doubts after the red giant dragon phantom broke the situation; it seems that even if it broke the situation, it wasn't that simple.

Just the various "nuclear threat" scenes in this CG video showed what kind of pressure the red giant dragon phantom faced after breaking the situation.

Yu Feng was also full of interest at this time, following the livestream room and saying:

"Old Thief Zhao said it's 【Cold War Clouds】; the first half is mainly a game between great powers, right?"

"According to the CG scene just now, it's best to choose between the US and the Soviet Union."

"This way, you can contact the 【Republic】 early, and maybe it will trigger the plot."

"And if you don't fight, you shouldn't die easily; brothers, vote, which side should I choose?"

Yu Feng launched a vote in the livestream room.

And at this time.

The settlement prompt popped up.

【Settlement complete】

【Player Name: Yu Feng】

【Kill Count: 5,748 people.】

【Death Count: 2,472 times (including 1,983 times in the Normandy Landing battlefield).】

【Participated in Key Battles: Battle of Britain / Battle of Moscow / Battle of Stalingrad】

【Key Battle Contribution: 0.017% / 0.0036% / 0.0015%】

【System Evaluation: You have successfully promoted from a battlefield rookie to an old bird, but only an old bird...】

【Identity Files: 2,472 (can choose to view the past life of the possessed person).】

【PS: In this simulated smoke of gunpowder, you experienced a hail of bullets and witnessed countless people falling; they were once fathers, brothers, children, and also the entire hope of some family waiting for their return.】

【PS: You may have been reborn many times in the game, but life in reality only happens once; behind those cold death numbers are people who cry and laugh just like you and me.】

【PS: May our world never need "dungeons" to remember suffering; peace is humanity's greatest victory.】

【Congratulations on obtaining: "WWII Old Bird Medal", "Atomic Bomb Deliverer Title"】

Old, yellowed photos slowly emerged on the settlement panel; they were family photos, and Yu Feng didn't recognize many of the faces in the photos.

But the part he recognized made his breathing stagnate.

Because those he recognized were all NPCs he had possessed before and had some impression of.

For example, the middle-aged bearded man holding a little girl in this yellowed old photo was an Allied commander in the 【North African Battlefield】.

The reason Yu Feng had a deep impression of him was because after he possessed this commander that time.

The way he died was very special.

He was carried by a turret and flew tens of meters away, fell, and was crushed to death, which was why he had some impression of this identity.

But after getting used to playing, he didn't take this to heart.

And now...:

Looking at the smile of the little girl holding the middle-aged bearded man in the yellowed old photo, this happy pair of father and daughter, Yu Feng didn't dare to look anymore.

The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Perhaps without his possession, that NPC might have lived to the end intact.

And this was just the ones he had an impression of.

Yu Feng, who was used to dying, had no impression of the images in more photos, but there was no doubt they were all people he had possessed.

Looking at the photos one by one, Yu Feng rubbed his face:

"Hiss—"

"Who is Old Thief Zhao trying to kill?"

Not only could Yu Feng see the settlement screen in the livestream room, but the Blue Star viewers in the livestream room could also see it, and the barrage surged.

【Old Thief Zhao is truly ruthless; damn, I don't even dare to go into the game to settle.】

【Good heavens, died 2,472 times; how many people has the streamer harmed~!】

【Excluding the 1,983 times in the Normandy battlefield, that means from 1939 to 1945, 6 years of time required 489 lives to finish "WWII"...】

【Holy crap, saying it like that, 500 lives aren't enough to play.】

【Yu Feng is still considered to have relatively strong skills; go look at other ordinary streamers, death counts are all 5,000 or 6,000 at the bottom.】

【Damn, fortunately Blue Star has no war; "Earth" is already like this, Blue Star here probably wouldn't have enough with thousands of lives per person.】

【Doesn't it say (can choose to view the past life of the possessed person), streamer, hurry up and take a look.】

Yu Feng looked at the barrage and said helplessly:

"Do you want to kill me?"

"The lives of 2,472 people, I can't take this responsibility!"

The NPCs who died under his own control, and then going to see the life experience of this NPC, if it turns out to be some peerless good man, good husband, then damn, wouldn't I be guilty to death.

Just looking at those photos was already unbearable; Yu Feng refused repeatedly:

"No, no, the streamer has a fragile heart."

"But there should be some braver ones, you guys look for it."

"This gameplay of viewing lives, it's estimated it will be popular soon, don't worry about not having a place to watch."

It's not that Yu Feng couldn't bear it, it was really that he died too many times.

With this death count.

Basically, Blue Star players, after finishing a WWII.

Except for daily-life players who might only die a few times or dozens of times, sniping masters like Yu Feng already had 2,472 times, so ordinary streamers couldn't play it at all; the life experiences of thousands or tens of thousands of people could be watched slowly.

Yu Feng looked at the vote, there was still one minute left; at this time, more people voted for "American Federation."

And if he chose the American Federation, he wouldn't need to restart, because according to the identity continuing from WWII, he should be promoted, right?

But if so, it seems he would be restricted to the military; should he restart and change an identity?

Like a businessman or something?

After all, "WWII" is over, so he shouldn't die easily, right.

On the other side.

Unlike top streamers like Yu Feng in the "World War II: Rise of the Empire" section.

Some mid-tier streamers saw they couldn't rush up, and after downloading the sequel 【Cold War Clouds】 and settling, they downloaded "World War I: Twilight of the Empire" one after another.

Wanting to overtake on a bend from this new game and become a top streamer in the special section.

After all, this game "World War I: Twilight of the Empire" had only been on sale for a few minutes, and everyone was on the same starting line.

As for whether this game would be popular?

Are you kidding.

This is Polar Star Company's new game, currently still in the Federation support period; the peak online number of "WWII" reached 160 million a few days ago.

Could "WWI" be bad?

If you don't rush now, when will you rush?

Following the game download and installation of one streamer after another.

At this time.

In the "World War I: Twilight of the Empire" game section.

Streamer Kong Yang looked at the soaring number of people in the livestream room, his expression excited, laughing in the livestream room:

"Brothers, my hand speed is okay, right?!"

"I should be the first one to finish installing and enter the game, right?!"

At this time, Kong Yang's livestream screen had already entered the game.

And other livestream rooms, the fastest were only installed to 80% or 90%.

Following entering the game.

The screen lit up, and what emerged was a CG.

This news spread instantly.

Players flooded into the livestream room one after another.

Kong Yang and the viewers in the livestream room looked at the slowly lighting screen, their hearts beginning to look forward to it.

And following the screen lighting up.

The perspective slowly slid across; the sky was covered in dark clouds, the battlefield below was full of dead bodies, and rainwater mixed with blood formed dark red mud being trampled everywhere.

And in such a harsh environment, the soldiers on both sides were still fighting non-stop.

Artillery fire poured toward the opponent's position against the heavy rain, and severed limbs and arms flew everywhere.

Several large characters slowly emerged on the screen:

【France · Verdun】
