Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Progress of the "Battle of Britain," Permission Copy (Please vote for monthly tickets~)

Not only the instance where Wei Ze is located, but also all other instances, except for a few that later start with the [Battle of Britain].

On the day of the update, the [Battle of Britain] instances opened, and the timeline was almost the same. All experienced this scene where the Imperial planes got lost because of the dark clouds and flew over London.

Adhering to the principle that they couldn’t come all the way for nothing, they dropped bombs.

However, other instances had NPC flying squadrons, while Wei Ze’s instance was personally led.

When the Imperial planes began their return journey.

All of the Federation camp’s air force players suddenly received orders to prepare to head to Berlin for a bombing mission, leaving the live stream audience bewildered.

What happened?

Why did the war suddenly escalate?

The viewers of the live stream were still in the dark, not knowing that in Wei Ze’s live stream the bombs had been dropped on the capital of the British Commonwealth, London.

This sudden scene prompted everyone to start discussing.

Meanwhile, the live stream hosts from the Imperial camp saw the barrage of comments from viewers reporting the Federation’s actions, saying they were going to bomb the Empire, which left them quite puzzled too.

At this moment.

In Wei Ze’s live stream.

Wei Ze, just off the plane, along with other squadron members, were all called away.

Wei Ze was rather confused.

Then they followed people from the Imperial Air Force Headquarters to an interrogation-like room.

They gave a detailed account of the whole process of the bombing mission tonight until the question session ended, when Wei Ze finally asked:

"Can you tell me what happened?"

The person from the Imperial Headquarters closed the notebook and stood up from the chair:

"You’re something, kid."

"You bombed London tonight, infuriating that old fellow from the British Commonwealth."

"He’s threatening to bomb Berlin."

"But don’t worry, the Empire’s air defenses are very strong."

"Those Federation guys’ plans are bound to fail."

Wei Ze nodded:

"So that’s what happened...."

The viewers in the live stream also understood why the Federation was making such a big move tonight.

It turned out London, the capital of the British Commonwealth, had been bombed.

Come to think of it, if your own capital was bombed, who wouldn’t be angry?

But seeing the people from the Imperial Air Force Headquarters so confident, Wei Ze looked at the barrage comments in the live stream, realizing they were already planning retaliation, he said to the headquarters’ personnel:

"I think.... we should still take precautions."

"After all, having bombed London, it’s very likely to provoke strong retaliation from the other side."

The people from the headquarters nonchalantly said:

"They have their own considerations, no need to worry."

Then turned around and left.

Seeing this, Wei Ze didn’t know what else to say, as barrage comments floated across the live stream.

[The host is something, angering the entire British Commonwealth single-handedly.]

[Laughing, other instances are the same; it’s probably a fixed storyline, and the host just happened to catch it with that squadron.]

[Is the Federation’s counterattack about to begin?]

[I doubt it, they’ve been suppressed for so long, feels like an act of anger.]

[The Empire is too much, bombing the capital, can you not be urgent?]

[It was said to be navigational error, accidental bomb.]

[Tsk.... Can they believe it?]

The plot within Wei Ze’s live stream quickly spread.

All players came to understand what was going on.

At this moment, players from the Imperial camp wanted to warn others but found they couldn’t pass the message upwards. Being just a regular soldier, it was troublesome enough to see their own unit’s officer, let alone the Supreme Leader or the air force marshal.

They watched helplessly as the planes took off in the Federation camp’s live stream.

Eighty-one bombers flew towards Berlin.

The players stationed in Berlin were stunned.

Quickly packing up their belongings, it was too late to leave the city, and control was tight anyway, so they could only hide in the cellars.

In the Imperial capital, Berlin.

Many players hurriedly packed their things.

Most of the players staying here had been randomly given ordinary identities and were doing daily tasks; they weren’t planning to fight on the front lines but never thought the flames of war would reach here.

The Empire was about to occupy all of Europe, and they still got their capital bombed?

The sense of powerlessness in the face of war was keenly felt by the players in Berlin, realizing it only takes a word to bomb you, and the Imperial capital wasn’t safe....

Many players who had packed up either hid in cellars or in sparsely built areas to ensure they wouldn’t be buried by debris.

At this moment.

Eighty-one bombers had already reached the fringes of Berlin, with the Imperial anti-aircraft guns firing relentlessly.

The Federation’s eighty-one bombers scattered and broke through the first line of fire, and the second line....

A plane flew over Berlin and pressed the bomb release button over the areas with the most lights below, dropping an entire cabin of bombs in a line.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

An entire street was instantly destroyed by continuous explosions.

The second plane, the third plane...

All pressed the bomb release button one after another.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Empire didn’t stop that night, but the effect was minimal.

The next morning.

The Supreme Leader, with a dark expression, looked at Berlin, smoking in various places, and decided to strengthen the deployment of anti-aircraft guns. He angrily ordered Air Marshal Goring to shift the bombing target to London.

In the next few days.

The Empire immediately retaliated by bombing London.

The Federation continued retaliatory bombings of Berlin.

The Empire retaliated by bombing London.

The Federation retaliated by bombing Berlin....

This plot twist was unexpected by all the players.

Online, some players had started to realize and discuss why both sides suddenly seemed to be sitting on a powder keg. Why, if they were in the shoes of the Empire or Federation leadership, would they be so furious?

Deeper discussions began.

And many players complained about the bombings, spilling their grievances.

Some restarted three times in a day in London.

Each time getting bombed to death because the Empire was bombing incessantly day and night, making this player curse that the people on the Empire’s side were not human.

Imperial Camp players also rebutted.

You think the Federation are good people? They’re also bombarding day and night. I got squashed under ruins the first time I restarted and starved to death....

The arguments were intense on both sides.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ming quietly went into stealth mode, occasionally using a small account to join either camp and guide the conversation.

Using a small account from the Imperial Camp, he spoke in the Federation players’ community.

[Is the Federation’s useless dog even capable? Just surrender quickly, you’re delaying our Empire’s world domination.]

A slew of insults followed....

[Did Berlin not get bombed enough? Barking here?!]

[Don’t be smug, the Empire will definitely fail in the end.]

[Why be so polite? Imperial *dog! I ***!]

[Emotion Value +666]

[Emotion Value +874]

[Emotion Value +...]

Suddenly, a notification popped up.

[Your post has been deleted, account banned for three days, please post civilly, thank you.]

Tsk... quite polite.

Zhao Ming immediately switched to a small Federation account and ran to the Imperial Camp.

[Is the Empire’s boiling stuff any good? Did Berlin enjoy being bombed? Want a big bomb from daddy....]

Similarly, a slew of comments followed.

[Federation ***....]

[You ***....]

[Get out ****]

[Your post has been deleted, account banned for three days, please post civilly, thank you.]

Another day of harvesting Emotion Values.

After harvesting a wave of Emotion Values and having all the small accounts banned, Zhao Ming checked the progress in each live broadcast room.

Currently, in the [Battle of Britain] instance, except for a few later ones, the plot progress is mostly consistent, entering the phase where both sides retaliate by bombarding each other’s capitals. Although it was said that player actions could introduce variability into the plot, judging from the progress of these session instances, there’s not much variation.

Zhao Ming then turned his attention back to the game. Discussions about the deeper reasons for the war were already happening online, with some even starting to collect Federation and Empire materials, analyzing why the war was initiated.

Collecting is no problem.

However, regarding the content of the First World War, Zhao Ming needs to hide some of it here.

After all, it has to be unlocked later.

If players find it all now, then what’s left to unlock?

Zhao Ming gave orders to the exchanged AI, asking it to search for in-game content regarding the First World War, hiding key battles and events.

Just leaving some petty affairs between nations that better illustrate things in a straightforward way.

At this moment.

The communications on Zhao Ming’s phone suddenly popped up, and Zhao Ming picked it up from the table:

"Senior, any instructions?"

Shen Qinghan’s voice came over:

"Can the full battlefield key for the [Normandy Landing] be made available to other Federation units?"

"Could some restrictions be added?"
