Chapter 268: Chapter 157: [Normandy Landing] The Complete Collapse of the Axis Powers (6.2k Double Chapter)_4
The impact of that NPC was too great.
Yu Feng sat dazed in the livestream, unable to stop thinking about what would happen if that mother learned about her child’s sacrifice.
However, the more he thought, the more distressed he felt. Yu Feng rubbed his face and said to the livestream:
"Brothers."
"I’ll log off now, I need a break."
"Today’s plot is a bit much."
"Won’t be streaming anymore for now."
Yu Feng logged off, but the dialogue from that scene was already spreading online.
It was the first time many people paid attention to the perspective of a soldier.
Thinking that the letters in the arms of those who died on the battlefield were just results to look at.
But this soldier’s narrative...
That simplest wish to survive, to take his mother to London after the war ends, and the words "I’ve saved enough money," left all Blue Star People at their breaking point.
He had saved enough money, but in this battle... the chance of surviving was very, very small.
Indeed, politicians with their lips flapping as if the tens of thousands of soldiers who died earlier on the North African Battlefield had never existed, turning sworn enemies into allies.
In stark contrast to this soldier’s simplest wish.
The intense feeling of irony and absurdity surged into the minds of Blue Star netizens in the livestream.
Discussions about who really benefits from the war became more and more intense.
Even some staunch zealots began to waver, seeing that simple wish of the soldier, they had families too...
Many people inside the game’s [Normandy Landing] storyline were spontaneously searching for that soldier, hoping to know his ending.
But... the war within the game wouldn’t stop just because of the discussions among Blue Star People.
The battle continued.
As the end of the empire approached, everyone could feel an impending sense of madness.
And the opening of a second front on the Western Front.
The empire was caught in a pincer attack, although the Allies’ forces on the Western Front were not strong yet, the mere presence of this threat constantly endangered the empire.
Forcing the empire to divert part of its focus to pay attention to the Western Front’s situation.
And the situation on the Eastern Front, already difficult, became even more challenging.
Now, with [European Battlefield] blooming on both fronts, the empire’s only ally was turning traitor, the [Atlantic Battlefield] was also starting to fall back due to the Allies’ technological upgrades.
There were only [Pacific Theater] and [Asian Battlefield] remaining.
[Asian Battlefield] was not yet open, but from the previous Polestar [Huaxia] series games’ CG, one could roughly deduce that Japan was in dire straits.
And in the [Pacific Theater].
Japan was no longer able to maintain the situation, retreating step by step in the face of the United States of America’s attack, though Japan’s soldiers seemed brainwashed.
Their insane appearance troubled many soldiers of the United States of America.
However, there were rumors that the United States of America was researching a ’mass-destruction’ weapon to counter Japanese suicide attacks.
But no one was sure if it really existed.
The battle situation on ’Earth’ changed day by day.
However.
The rapid changes in war caught even Blue Star players off guard.
At the same time as the [Normandy Landing] occurred, the Soviet Union launched a counterattack, not only recapturing Kyiv.
Even the main forces of the Soviet Union had reached Poland.
Initially, Poland was the country between the Soviet Union and the empire, so now the Soviet Union had not only regained lost territories.
As long as they captured Poland, they could directly threaten the empire’s homeland.
The empire’s defeat was unfolding too quickly.
Blue Star players, having skipped through quickly, missed much information, completely unable to understand how in just half a year, it turned out like this.
Fortunately, though many of these streamers skipped the plot.
Quite a few did not.
Cheng Yu, a player of the Imperial Camp, naturally knew the empire was doomed, but did not want to skip the plot, to experience the defeat early, so continued to play step by step.
Unexpectedly, on this day, from the [Immersive Plot] mode, he received some shocking news:
"What? Manstein has been relieved of his duties?"
"Have they gone mad?!"
