Chapter 201: Chapter 140 The Summer of 1942 in [Stalingrad], A Critical Turning Point (6.1k Two-in-One)_4

"When players reflect on the entire ’World War II’ history in the future, they’ll realize everything that happened in Stalingrad during the summer of 1942."

"This concerns the entire world’s war situation."

"Everything they did was very meaningful."

"Even though it’s just a game, in the future, when talking with other players, I can also mention how I handled things at the [Central Station] back then?"

"Make it so that even in games, you have bragging rights."

Shen Qinghan became interested and said:

"Should we give it a title?"

"Like what?"

"Something like a turning point?"

Zhao Ming nodded with a slight smile:

"Of course, but we have to wait until ’World War II’ ends."

"Revealing it now would undoubtedly be telling the players that the Empire lost."

"After the Battle of Stalingrad, there are many other classic battles."

"[Kharkiv Counteroffensive], [Battle of Kursk]."

"[Normandy Landing]"

"[Market Garden Operation] [Battle of Arden] and so on..."

"These battles have victories for the Empire and victories for the Federation. Only constant reversals and mixed victories can keep players curious; knowing the outcome makes it boring."

Up until the Battle of Stalingrad here.

The Soviet Union was constantly being hit, only managing to defend Moscow. If we say Stalingrad is the turning point now, isn’t it obvious we’re saying the Empire will lose in the future?

Who would play a game where they know the ending?

Only repeated victories for the Empire and the Federation can attract players.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan had no objections; anyway, Zhao Ming could handle the game’s affairs as he saw fit.

The two continued to discuss the development for the second half of the year. Shen Qinghan intended to connect with the Federation to see if military exercises would be scheduled, while Zhao Ming began editing the announcement.

Soon.

An update announcement was posted on the Polestar Official Website.

Great Xia Federation.

In Mo Xiaomo’s live streaming room on the Celestial Shark Live Platform.

The in-game bombing continued.

Having gotten used to being bombed, the well-trained Mo Xiaomo hid under the metal equipment, thinking that such sturdy equipment shouldn’t be.... too easily destroyed, right?

At this time, Mo Xiaomo also knew that starting again would not lead to the Tractor Factory, so there was no recklessness.

After all, every person here lost is one less person.

If you die, you have to go outside and become cannon fodder. Compared to being cannon fodder, being a worker is slightly better.

Mo Xiaomo opened the ’real-time map’ to check the situation but suddenly found an announcement update on the Polestar Official Website.

"Huh?"

"There’s an update again?"

Mo Xiaomo clicked to look and gradually widened her eyes:

"..."

"..."

"Due to some confusion between ordinary players and troop players in the current game... an update will occur on the last day of August in the game timeline."

"The key focus in September will shift to [Mamaev Kurgan]."

"Players can enter the instance normally, while troop players can enter exclusive battlefield instances through certified invitations."

"Note: The battlefield timeline remains consistent."

"And for October, the focus will also be [Central Station], and in November, [Pavlov Building] will be the same."

Mo Xiaomo understood:

"So the reason for not restarting at the Tractor Factory is because this month’s focus isn’t there? Is it Central Station? But in October, it’s still Central Station, I can’t figure it out."

"But Polestar is acting fast."

"The Antarctic Star Federation just started streaming, and now there’s a distinction arranged here."

"In that case."

"Maybe we’ll soon see our Great Xia Federation’s soldiers streaming."

"The focus for September is [Mamaev Kurgan]. Let me see where it is?"

Mo Xiaomo was on the official website, opened the ’real-time map’, and couldn’t find it after three or four searches.

Only after viewers in the live stream reminded her where it was did Mo Xiaomo find it. Looking at this small hill, not visible unless zoomed all the way in, Mo Xiaomo felt a bit skeptical:

"This little hill, isn’t it less than two square kilometers?"

"Is this the key battlefield?"
