Chapter 63

Mo Xiaomo clicked her tongue endlessly, and only after Guderian went out to inspect the battle situation did she explain the content of the telegram to the viewers.

【Hiss, write it down, write it down.】

【No, what are you writing down again? What did you learn? Why didn't I understand?】

【It's that sentence from Guderian, flank? That's something the enemy should worry about.】

【Blitzkrieg is constant assault, which can be seen as attacking the enemy's exposed flank with every bit of progress, so it should be the enemy who worries.】

【Using offense as defense, forcing the enemy to mess up their own formation?】

【I believe it now, this is really something you can learn from.】

However.

The telegram from the Imperial Command came every so often, urging Guderian to stop advancing. Guderian argued on the basis of reason over the phone, and only then did he secure 24 hours of marching time.

However, 24 hours was not enough to reach Saint-Quentin.

May 17th.

The 24 hours had passed, but the 19th Armored Corps led by Guderian still did not stop advancing.

The high command of the Imperial Command was already angry and kept ordering Guderian to stop.

These were all plots that Mo Xiaomo and the viewers in the live stream room were familiar with.

Because when Mo Xiaomo was in the plot as a communications soldier, she was constantly receiving telegrams and urges from the Imperial Command. Watching the communications soldier come over again and again, Mo Xiaomo's expression was strange.

Because...

The communications soldier didn't even have to speak, and she already knew the content of these telegrams.

They were all urging Guderian to stop the advance.

Glancing at the time, Mo Xiaomo estimated that it was almost time.

Before long.

Guderian issued an order, leaving behind a few people to establish a temporary army command post.

Then he took the 19th Armored Corps himself to Saint-Quentin for 'combat reconnaissance', and soon encountered the enemy, which in turn alarmed the Federation defenders of Saint-Quentin.

A day of fierce attack.

Guderian's armored cluster was like a heavy hammer, smashing the defense line of Saint-Quentin and thrusting straight into the city center. The defending Saint-Quentin garrison began to retreat.

Inside the command post.

Guderian ordered the divisions:

"Don't stop, bite their retreating troops hard for me."

"Step on the gas toward the direction of the gunfire."

Such high-intensity assault made even Mo Xiaomo and the viewers in the live stream room stunned. The details they hadn't noticed before were now realized.

Forced march, forced march, fierce attack, forced march pursuit, it was simply non-stop.

How did the Imperial soldiers persist with this intensity of marching? Are they on drugs?

Looking at the doubts in the barrage in the live stream room, Mo Xiaomo tentatively asked:

"General, shouldn't we let the soldiers rest?"

Guderian looked at her:

"Rest?"

"Resting now is giving the French Federation a chance to rebuild their defense line."

"Tanks are just conductors; psychological collapse is the lightning."

"Only by turning their retreat into a strategic collapse can we have time to rest."

Night.

The Federation military command post in Saint-Quentin.

Guderian led people into this place. Mo Xiaomo looked around, seeing the mess left behind because they were too late to pack up during the retreat. Guderian walked to the large map hanging in the center.

Then he laughed out loud and turned to look at everyone:

"Look what I found?"

He raised his hand and pointed to the markings on the large map:

"The French map still marks our position from three days ago."

The laughter spread throughout the command post.

That night.

The 19th Armored Corps had a short rest.

On May 19th, they started a forced march again, heading to the next city, Amiens.

Just one day.

May 20th.

The 19th Armored Corps captured Amiens, followed by Abbeville.

Arriving at the English Channel.

Dunkirk was close at hand, however...

The Imperial leader's order was conveyed.

This general, who had dared to clash with the high command of the Imperial Command countless times, stared at the route on the map that started from the Ardennes Forest to the current English Channel, bending like a lightning bolt, and fell silent.

And Mo Xiaomo, from the dispute between Guderian and the Imperial Command.

Vaguely understood why the Imperial leader ordered to stop the pursuit.

The armored group's assault tactics were not accepted by the traditional high-ranking generals, and the air force side had Göring guaranteeing that the air force would crush the Federation and complete the encirclement.

Plus, more than 300,000 people was not a small number; if they were all killed, it might anger the Federation and lead to a backlash.

The Empire wanted to resolve these 300,000+ people peacefully now.

And the radical armored troops were forced to stay in place under pressure from many sides.

This completed the plot.

No wonder the Dunkirk evacuation was successful; the Empire was not a monolith, the traditional generals on the army side backstabbing was one thing, but the marshal on the air force side also made solemn guarantees.

No matter what, Guderian was just a corps commander, and this was an air force marshal, and the Imperial leader... he could only stop in place unwillingly.

Guderian in front of the map slowly turned around.

Under Mo Xiaomo's peeking gaze, Guderian walked to his seat, sat down, and took out a notebook.

A few seconds later, he began to write.

"The application of Blitzkrieg is not about how many enemy troops are annihilated, but about crushing the enemy's will with speed."

Snap!

The notebook closed.

The scene in Mo Xiaomo's eyes, who was watching from the side, gradually darkened.

【Plot Ended】

Mo Xiaomo had already returned to the main interface, and only then did she come back to her senses, feeling a sense of loss:

"Ended?"

"So fast, the exclusive plot from the first-person perspective is indeed done very well."

"And it also completed the plot and world view."

"Hiss—"

"There are so many celebrities in the Hall of Fame, all with exclusive plots; how cool would it be to experience them all."

"But this game is too grindy!!!!"

To this, the barrage in the live stream room agreed.

This game is too damn grindy, triggering any hidden plot depends entirely on luck.

So far, only Mo Xiaomo, this lucky person, has unlocked Guderian's plot. To unlock them all, I'm afraid it would take all the players on the entire network years to collect them.

After complaining, Mo Xiaomo chuckled:

"Brothers, look at the core of Blitzkrieg I organized."

"With it, 【Blitzkrieg Empire】 is not a dream."

Mo Xiaomo pulled out the folder, which were all scenes recorded in the game.

【Blitzkrieg Core】

【"Concentrate only, do not disperse!"】

【"Step on the gas toward the direction of the gunfire!"】

【"Tanks tear through the position, motorized infantry fill the gaps, artillery performs point-clearing, Stuka... that is flying artillery."】

【"Let the enemy worry about the flanks!"】

【"The essence of Blitzkrieg is not waiting, but the enemy's psychological collapse."】

【"Everything lies in speed! Fast enough that the enemy doesn't get a chance to breathe."】

【"No prisoners, no supplies, only speed!"】

【"Flanks? Advance at full speed!!!"】

Every short famous quote read a bit exciting.

But...

After Mo Xiaomo's excitement, she felt strange:

"How should I put it?"

"It feels very exciting, like I understood something, but my brain seems empty..."

The live stream room was silent for a while, and then the barrage surged.

【..... So you are also?!】

【MD, so everyone has the same feeling!】

【Laugh to death, seems to understand, but also seems not to understand, feels like I need to watch the recording a few more times.】

【So everyone is like this, then I'm relieved.】

【Scared me to death, I thought you were all geniuses, fortunately not.】

【These words are the essence summarized; everyone feels the same excitement when reading them. If you want to truly understand, you still have to practice.】

【Practice? Where to practice, the six major federations don't have wars.】

【That's not necessarily true, isn't there an Empire Hegemony game? Just find one and go mess around, and the 【Blitzkrieg Poland】 dungeon will open soon, right? When commanding the great army, this time... I will!!!】

【Fired up! I'm going to find an Empire Hegemony type game right now!】

Mo Xiaomo saw this, opened the Hall of Fame again, and found Guderian's photo:

"Should I experience it again... hmm?"

"Why is there a cooldown time?!"

Looking at the countdown after 【Battle of France】 on Guderian's introduction, there was actually a cooldown time?

Then there's no way.

But Mo Xiaomo noticed that a module had appeared above the Hall of Fame.

【Tactical Library】

Mo Xiaomo was a bit confused:

"Brothers, do you have this?"

"It wasn't there before entering the game, right?"

Mo Xiaomo took a look at the recording.

Indeed not.

Is it a module unlocked after experiencing the exclusive plot?

Mo Xiaomo clicked in.

What came into view was a lit-up card marked 【Blitzkrieg】, while the other cards were densely arranged, but they were all dark gray, looking inactive.
