CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 162: [CRIMSON DRAGON’S ROAR] REPUBLIC IS THE ONLY CHOICE!!! (7.6K TWO-IN-ONE)_3

The launch event was held in the grand auditorium within Polestar Company.

Upon entering the venue, one could feel a strong sense of technology.

Everywhere there were floating drone robots, rising and falling in an orderly fashion, placing drinks and desserts on the small tables beside each seat.

Yu Feng clicked his tongue and smiled at the livestream:

"Just look at this technological vibe."

"If it’s like this in the audience, then the stage is probably a projection too."

The barrage of comments in the livestream chat became silent for a moment, then surged.

[Darn?! It really might be possible?!]

[No doubt about it. With Zhao the Old Thief’s style, there’s no way to hit him.]

[But today’s main focus is the CG, so it’s not really a problem.]

[Indeed, although Zhao the Old Thief’s character is somewhat poor, there’s nothing wrong with his games.]

Yu Feng nodded as well; say what you will about the man, the game is indeed flawless.

As time slowly passed, the lights in the grand auditorium suddenly dimmed, then focused on the large podium at the front.

Whoosh!

Zhao Ming suddenly appeared out of thin air on the podium, accompanied by sound effects, leaving the streamers and players below bewildered, then they reacted.... Darn?!

Another projection?!

Not even pretending? Just teleporting directly out of thin air onto the stage?!

In fact.

It was indeed projection.... The real Zhao Ming was controlling it from the office.

The projection of Zhao Ming in the grand auditorium looked at the streamers and players below with a smile, and greeted them:

"Good morning, everyone, welcome to the new game launch event of Polestar Company."

As he finished speaking.

A round of applause erupted in the venue. There’s no choice, even if this guy is a bit of a jerk, the game is still flawless....

The projection of Zhao Ming on stage, after waiting for the applause to die down a bit, began to introduce today’s project:

"Today, we mainly introduce the new CGI for the sequel to ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’ called ’Cold War Clouds’."

"The sequel ’Cold War Clouds’ mainly tells the story of the post-war nations, conflicts breaking out because of interest distribution, dirty dealings; it’s a sort of ’Cold War prelude’."

"The entanglements and conspiracy plots during this period will surely open a new world for the players."

"After experiencing the story, I think many players will be able to remain clear-headed when facing temptations."

"For instance.... someone tells you what wealth war can bring, what status it can bring."

"I think the players of ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’ wouldn’t be tempted, right?"

As he finished speaking.

The launch event audience burst into laughter.

Some even shouted, "Whoever believes it’s an xxx," after all, the storyline of ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’ was deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Zhao Ming’s projection was teasing, while many war enthusiasts across Blue Star blushed with anger and smashed their streaming devices.

The laughter at the launch site was just too piercing....

Zhao Ming’s projection continued speaking:

"Next is the upcoming ’World War I Series’ game."

"Here, players can return to the early 1900s, at a time when the figures who stirred the world during the Second World War were still quite green."

"Players can interact with them, or become bystanders, witnessing them climb to the pinnacle step by step."

"Here is the often-flunked Imperial Leader, here is the leader who founded the Soviet Union, here is the legendary congressman of the United States."

"In short.... by participating in the game, you’ll get the chance to interact."

"Then we proceed to the player Q&A session."

"If anyone has questions or suggestions about the current games under Polestar, you can bring them up during the Q&A session."

"I will answer them for you."

"Alright, having said so much, I’m sure everyone is already eager."

"So let’s first play the CG for the sequel ’Cold War Clouds’."

Zhao Ming’s projection gestured toward the back, indicating to look behind.

At the back.

A huge screen projection slowly appeared.

Yu Feng and the friends in the chatroom all held their breath; it was about to start!

The screen lit up.

The large characters for "Rivadia Palace" slowly appeared.

It was the brief CG opening shown earlier, but this time it’s the full version.

The meeting in the video.

Although countries around the world participated, it was mainly led by the United States of America and the Soviet Union; other countries couldn’t even voice opinions during the interest division.

Even Poland and countries by the Baltic Sea were directly annexed by the Soviet Union.

Even though the British Commonwealth sat on one of the three seats, it could only watch and didn’t dare covet any benefits.

It wasn’t until the secret meeting of the three countries.

That France managed to gain a position.

Thus.

The United Nations five permanent members system was completed.

These plotlines, compared with the previous CG and the stories triggered by players, were already generally understood by players on Blue Star, then the scene shifted.

An illusory world map emerged, showing that the war had ended.

Currently, the Empire was divided by major forces, although still maintaining a complete transition, the presence of various national forces rendered almost no chance of recovery for the Empire.

Whoosh!

The scene suddenly switched.

[British Commonwealth]

Appearing before the eyes was the Prime Minister of the British Commonwealth, the one who had once delivered the ’We shall never surrender’ speech, now standing on the stage.

The voice was powerful and resonant:

"...."

"An iron curtain has descended across the European Continent, from Stettin in the Baltic Sea (now Szczecin, Poland) to Trieste in the Adriatic Sea."

"...."

"...."

"Only Athens—the city that holds the imperishable glory of Greece—can still autonomously decide its fate through elections under the supervision of the United Kingdom, United States, and France."

"Under the control of the Soviet Union, the Polish government is being incited to undertake massive illegal territorial annexations against Germany; at this moment, millions of Germans are being expelled in an unprecedented tragic manner...."
