CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 160: [WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION], THE IMPERIAL FINAL OFFENSIVE (5.7K DOUBLE-LENGTH)

No wonder the players on Blue Star were shocked.

Given the current situation of the Empire.

The Eastern Front is being pressured by the Soviet Union, while the Western Front just achieved a victory, and yet at this moment, they even forced a capable general to his death.

Now, among the three famous generals certified in the Hall of Fame of the Empire.

Manstein was dismissed, now Rommel was forced to suicide, leaving only Guderian who was sent to support the Eastern Front.

Usually, the onlookers see things more clearly.

But now, from the perspective of onlookers, even tens of millions of Blue Star players can’t figure out what kind of operation this is from the Imperial Leader.

And why kill Rommel?

The last time Blue Star players heard about Rommel, he was inspecting the Normandy front line and was seriously injured by a British Commonwealth air raid.

In a blink of an eye, just a few months later.

He was directly forced to suicide.

Although the NPCs in ’Earth’ genuinely believed what the newspaper said about Rommel dying suddenly from an illness caused by war injuries.

Players on Blue Star, because some participated in that plot, knew very well what really happened.

Players who originally wanted to experience the plot now unanimously decided to investigate.

What happened in these few months?

There’s no information at all?

Even Yu Feng, a streamer who wasn’t interested in politics, started to investigate.

There’s no other choice.

It’s really too intriguing.

Although he wasn’t interested in politics, Rommel had defeated him countless times on the North African Battlefield, making him restart many times.

Yet such a formidable Imperial general might have been caught up in a conspiracy.

And was forced to suicide... this is really something.

The power of players is strong.

Even if only a small portion of the tens of millions of Blue Star players want to seek the truth.

That’s still hundreds of thousands of people.

Hundreds of thousands of people chose the Imperial Camp at the start, spanning from 1943 to the end of 1944, starting in all kinds of locations and with various identities.

Although many key plots involving national leaders on ’Earth’ were locked by Zhao Ming when designing the game.

The spectator perspective wasn’t locked down.

For instance, although players couldn’t directly contact national leaders on ’Earth,’ if a Blue Star player hid in some tall building and used a telescope.

Watching the entrance of the Imperial Congress Hall 24 hours a day.

They could still see the Imperial Leader coming and going and interacting with some officials.

And Blue Star players didn’t lack such individuals.

Thus, just four days after knowing Rommel was forced to suicide...

On the forum of Polestar’s players.

Blue Star players had basically pieced together the details of the entire incident.

Yu Feng, along with reminders from his live streaming chat, came to the forum at the first opportunity.

Looking at the posts organized.

The posts described Rommel’s death, which involved an assassination attempt on the Imperial Leader.

On July 17, 1944.

Rommel was seriously injured by an air raid while inspecting the Normandy Battlefield front line.

And three days later.

On July 20, many Blue Star players, tracking the Imperial Leader’s movements, discovered an attempted assassination on the Leader but it failed.

Immediately, a large-scale search and purge began within the Imperial Capital, Berlin.

Many Blue Star players, due to suspicious activities, were directly arrested, harshly interrogated, and executed without yielding any information.

Just this wave of purge.

Directly caused a third of the Blue Star players in Berlin to restart, showcasing the thoroughness of this purge.

Anyone with a bit of suspicion was directly arrested.

Let alone these sneaky Blue Star players monitoring the Imperial Congress Hall in each Immersive Plot mode, they had no chance to escape.

The remaining players, trembling with fear, evaded the search and only dared to explore slowly after skipping several days into the plot.

However, the atmosphere in Berlin was one of somber and dread at this time.

And some players working as doctors in hospitals clearly saw scenes during this period where Rommel was interrogated by the Gestapo in the ward.

Although they couldn’t watch from a close distance.

Just based on the Gestapo coming and going, they could guess more or less.

Not long after, Rommel recovered from his injuries and was discharged.

Many Blue Star players photographed Rommel returning home from different angles.

Only now, there were even more surveillance personnel around.

No wonder there weren’t any messages from Rommel after his serious injury.

So that’s what happened... he was imprisoned.

Got involved in a plot to assassinate the Imperial Leader, the outcome didn’t need much saying.

After all, it was because they knew Rommel was ’forced to suicide’ that Blue Star players sought the truth.

Now the answer was clear.

And the situation that followed was somewhat repetitive, mainly daily imprisonment and occasional interrogations.

Until three months later.

Rommel died suddenly from a severe illness attributed to ’injuries sustained on the battlefield.’

This was the scene that Blue Star players initially saw.

The post ended here.

In the comment section below, there were all kinds of comments, some were regretful, some were mocking, and some were confused, and after Yu Feng finished reading, he also sighed:

"This cause of death..."

"How should I put it."

"Such a general didn’t die on the battlefield but died from forced suicide, it’s a bit of a pity."

"However, why does this scene feel somewhat familiar?"

Barrage in the live streaming chat:

[???]

[What’s familiar about this?]

[The Empire previously didn’t... no, wait, there was an assassination, Heinrich was assassinated, then Imperial Soldiers massacred villages in fury.]

[Exactly, that’s right!]

[These big figures, once they felt threatened, would stop at nothing.]
