However, Mo Xiaomo didn't move, but looked at the settlement evaluation with a flushed face.
"What do you mean my micro-management accelerated the Polish Federation's destruction?! Fourteen days is pretty impressive, okay?! The Soviet Federation got involved too—pincer attacks from front and back! Anyone would be unable to withstand this! Great powers play, partition my land? Brothers, I don't dare imagine how treacherous human hearts can be!!! I...?!!!"
Who could have thought! Who could have thought?! They were already fighting—why didn't it go according to script?! How did they just shake hands, make peace, and negotiate?! Is this the treachery of war?! Mo Xiaomo suddenly felt like these twenty years had been lived in vain. In this game, she was as naive as an elementary school student... To create such a treacherous storyline, the boss of Polar Star Games Company definitely isn't a good person. Could a normal person think up this kind of storyline???
The bullet comments seeing Mo Xiaomo's state also became amused, with quite a few drama lovers spamming “6666,” while some said this storyline was fairly reasonable.
Mo Xiaomo looked lifeless, but pulled herself together, and said: "Enough talk, let's start again. I refuse to believe this."
Then she looked at the two factions and began studying. "Brothers, should I choose Empire or Federation?"
The bullet comments offered various suggestions.
[Empire! Gotta be Empire!!]
[Hell no, Federation! Villains never win! Federation is justice! Good guys always win!]
[Choose Empire, go undercover!]
[Bro wake up, Poland's already gone. Going undercover won't save anything]
[Still vote Federation]
Mo Xiaomo looked at the bullet comments, her gaze finally locking onto Empire.
"I think that makes sense. Infiltrating the enemy and doing intelligence work is the way to go. So... I choose Empire. Disclaimer! I'm going undercover. My heart is still with the Federation, hehe hehe~"
Then her gaze locked onto the 【Empire Faction】, ignoring the teasing and mockery from live stream viewers.
The game screen gradually darkened, then slowly brightened. When Mo Xiaomo could control her body again, she discovered something was wrong.
"Hmm?" Looking down at her hands and body—a soldier's body, but not modeled after herself.
"This time I'm replacing an NPC's body? How am I just a common soldier? I miss my days as Prime Minister~"
Mo Xiaomo looked around—it was a military camp with soldiers everywhere, all busily moving things, boxes of weapons, equipment, and ammunition onto large trucks, looking like they were about to head to the front lines. Mo Xiaomo's gaze fell on the camp's flag, which looked familiar—she'd seen it in the Polish Federation Prime Minister's office. "Italian Kingdom flag? But I chose Empire! Wait... Empire faction? The Italian Kingdom isn't the Empire, but it's in the Empire faction? Playing word games?! ...Why are there traps everywhere in this game?!"
[Storyline modification needed: The Italian Kingdom forms an early alliance with the Empire, belonging to the Empire faction.]

Meanwhile, at Sky Shark Streaming's gaming section, in other FPS livestreams, as time passed, people who worked during the day gradually got off work. The popularity of “World War II: Rise of Empire” kept climbing. Seeing the traffic explosion, streamers, both large and small, began switching games, chasing the trend.
Compared to immersive storylines, quite a few streamers and players were absorbed in the “Normandy Landing” battlefield. Streamers died in all sorts of bizarre ways, and some with many anti-fans already had mashup death compilations spreading.
In Yu Feng's livestream, the eighty-plus people assembled by Fang Ming, holding their respective death replay footage, began post-game analysis of the recent battle. After playing all afternoon, originally with over a hundred streamers in the team, but quite a few had been driven away by the game's difficulty and went to stream immersive storylines. Only these eighty-plus streamers remained, constantly fighting and analyzing.
An afternoon, plus an evening, of time had successfully progressed from being killed instantly upon exposure to surviving a maximum of about thirteen minutes. Looking at the firepower deployment in death footage from various angles, Fang Ming felt some tooth pain.
"Damn... the guy who designed this game really isn't human. How can there be so many machine gun fire points? Old Yu, can you take out these few?"
Fang Ming pointed out several machine gun positions. As long as these few were taken out, Omaha Beach's defense line would have a small gap. This way there'd be enough people to charge and blow open the defense line's barrier network.
If Zhao Ming were here, he'd definitely laugh out loud—these were exactly the machine gun fire points he'd set up to add a bit of difficulty. Unexpectedly, this Fang Ming guy was quite perceptive, immediately spotting several key fire points. These additional fire points would be destroyed by airstrike support if players persisted for twenty minutes, thereby increasing the success rate of players attacking and landing at Omaha Beach. However, currently, among all live streams online, only Fang Ming's group had persisted the longest, reaching thirteen minutes—but there was still some distance from twenty minutes.
Yu Feng looked around, frowning slightly. "These fire points are too close together. Even if we could take them out, early casualties would still be significant. We couldn't charge in during the later stages. We need to find a way to reduce casualties first."
Fang Ming was also helpless. "No way to reduce casualties. With so many fire points, it's death from any direction."
Yu Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke. "Who has good marksmanship? Play a few more rounds and try grinding for medals?"
Fang Ming was stunned. "Medals?"
Seeing his expression, Yu Feng knew this guy had been focused on studying combat and hadn't paid attention to the medal collection and Hall of Fame. He then shared images and conditions of medals from the medal collection.
【Normandy Veteran Medal】
【Note: Due to your achievement of five kills in a single match during the “Normandy Landing” at Omaha Beach, this honor medal has been awarded.】
【Medal Effect: When equipped, promotes to second lieutenant, can command landing craft attack direction.】
【Achievement Condition: 3/5 (refreshes each match)】
Then Yu Feng said, "As long as you get five kills in a single match, you can get this medal, promoting players to second lieutenant and gaining command of a landing craft. If we get landing craft command authority, it should be easier to fight. This last match I killed three people. Just need to kill five to get landing craft command authority. Each match, give cover to someone with good marksmanship, play several more rounds. Get a few landing craft we can command. Then attacking and tactical deployment will be more convenient."
Fang Ming's eyes lit up, studying the medal: "I think that works."
The others had no objections either, since this was Fang Ming's organized match, and he and Yu Feng were also the two streamers with the most followers here. Fang Ming was getting ready to plan tactics for another round when the live stream bullet comments began frantically spamming.
[Streamer, check trending vids right now!]
[Look at Great Xia Federation’s Northern Army's official account!!!]
[Wait the military is playing games now?]
[Holy shit! All these FPS "pros" and "champions"—when it's time for real fighting, you need actual professionals?!]
[Streamer, go watch and learn tactics!!!]
