150: Chapter 150 The Pacific War

After Wang Ye finished speaking, the audience in the livestream room chimed in one after another.

"I'm following in Brother Wang's footsteps. Whatever game Brother Wang plays, I'll play."

"Are you sure you'll actually play it, rather than just watching?"

"If Brother Wang is playing, then I am playing. 'Cloud gaming' is still playing, alright?"

"666, I'm actually speechless."

"To be honest, I hope the next game is a bit more enjoyable and not too difficult."

"Well said. This first one was too hard. Every time I went in, I died within a few minutes. After playing for a day, I couldn't keep going."

"Me too. I didn't play long after buying it, just considered it supporting Old Thief Zhou. If the second one is still this hard, then I'll have to request a refund."

Wang Ye looked at the audience's comments while resting.

Many of the audience's comments resonated deeply with him.

"Hey, brothers, don't get me wrong. I also feel this first one is too difficult. If I weren't a streamer, I wouldn't have been able to keep playing either."

"But now that I've played it for a while, I feel it's quite interesting."

Wang Ye said, nodding in agreement.

Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.

"Haha, Brother Wang, you think so too?"

"Brother Wang, you haven't been abused for so long that you've started to like it, have you?"

"Why does Brother Wang's situation sound a bit weird? What is this called again? Some kind of syndrome?"

"This is called: Old Thief Zhou abuses Brother Wang a thousand times, and Brother Wang still treats Old Thief Zhou like his first love."

Seeing these comments, Wang Ye's face immediately darkened.

"Damn it, don't spread rumors about me."

"I really think this game is well-made. Although it's hard, this is the most realistic part."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, the audience stopped joking.

"Brother Wang, that goes without saying. I only played it because it's realistic."

"Exactly, I wouldn't even play it if it weren't realistic. That 'Ming Dynasty' game from Yiteng next door has terrible numerical balance. The whales just crush the common players, and even the hackers can't beat the whales."

"Don't even mention that one. I requested a refund at light speed after buying it."

After chatting with the audience for a while, Wang Ye continued with his grand undertaking of grinding.

Meanwhile, the internal military region competition among the Four Major Military Regions also began.

Each military region gathered over a hundred thousand ground troops to join the competition.

Fortunately, they were all using internal servers; otherwise, Zhou Yang wouldn't have been able to afford it.

Of course, because it was an internal server, Zhou Yang couldn't see their military region competition.

He could only see a leaderboard ranking.

The competition among the Four Major Military Regions lasted for three days.

They competed once a day, and the best result over the three days was taken as the final competition score.

This way, there was no need to worry about a single poor performance, as there were multiple opportunities.

These three days passed quickly.

These past few days, Zhou Yang worked four or five hours a day and rested for the rest of the time.

He also took the opportunity to tell Yang Ruoxue about the two world wars.

That morning, Zhou Yang was leaning back on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the villa.

Yang Ruoxue was sitting opposite him.

"Zhou Yang, your second installment in the World War II series is about the Pacific War, right?" Yang Ruoxue's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

Over the past few days, Yang Ruoxue had listened to Zhou Yang talk about the course of World War II.

However, he didn't go into detail; he just gave her a simple introduction.

Compared to World War I, she was more interested in the content of World War II.

The reason was naturally because she had played the first installment, eastern meat grinder.

"Yes, this Pacific War was mainly a contest between the Japanese Army and the American military."

"The timeline is in the mid-to-late period of World War II. America stopped providing various industrial raw materials to Japan and simultaneously blockaded the Pacific shipping routes," Zhou Yang said, speaking eloquently while looking at Yang Ruoxue.

"Then, is the next part the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor?" Yang Ruoxue took the initiative to continue the conversation.

She had heard Zhou Yang mention this two days ago, so she remembered it quite clearly now.

"Yes, the next part is Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. America lost a large number of warships, but the aircraft carriers docked at Pearl Harbor were not sunk by Japan."

After nodding, Zhou Yang continued:

"After that, America declared war on Japan and entered the great war."

"Zhou Yang, the way you're telling this, I almost thought it was real history," Yang Ruoxue said, her red lips slightly parted, her pair of watery, large eyes staring straight at Zhou Yang.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang felt a bit nervous inside.

"Haha, you can also treat it as real history."

"If you put it that way, that's not impossible. Perhaps there really is a parallel world where history is like this," Yang Ruoxue said with a smile, nodding.

Her eyes remained fixed on Zhou Yang, with a look of admiration in them.

Zhou Yang did not notice Yang Ruoxue's unusual behavior and continued to talk.

"After the Pearl Harbor incident, America entered the fray and began the Pacific War campaign against Japan."

"The Pacific War campaign was mainly naval battles and island-landing battles. This battle lasted for over three years."

Yang Ruoxue listened to Zhou Yang talk about the course of the Pacific naval battles, but it was just going in one ear and out the other.

The content Zhou Yang was talking about was very bland; he was just describing the course of events, which didn't have the appeal of a story.

After listening, Yang Ruoxue forgot it as soon as she turned her head.

"Why did this war only last for over three years?" Yang Ruoxue asked.

"Because after three years, Japan surrendered," Zhou Yang answered.

"Surrendered? Then after three years, China won, right?"

Yang Ruoxue suddenly remembered the veteran she had encountered during her trial play earlier.

After she had tried playing it before, she had asked Zhou Yang for administrator privileges and directly went on a rampage inside the game.

She wiped out all the Japanese soldiers.

However, after finishing, she felt very empty.

Because she had won using administrator privileges, she didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

If she hadn't activated the administrator privileges, no matter what method she used, she couldn't have won.

"Yes, after Japan surrendered, World War II also ended," Zhou Yang nodded.

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's answer, Yang Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. How could Japan hold out for so long?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Japan was indeed troublesome. If it weren't for China dragging Japan down, America would definitely not have fought so easily.

Even if China hadn't held on, it's possible that Japan could have truly used China's resources to fight across the entire world.

Germany was not as insane as Japan.

However, after the victory, these Western countries blatantly lied and denied China's contribution.

Seeing that Zhou Yang didn't answer her, Yang Ruoxue didn't mind and continued by asking a new question.

"By the way, Zhou Yang, since Japan surrendered after three years, who was it that defeated Japan?"

After asking, Yang Ruoxue stared intently at Zhou Yang.

Hearing this question, Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "What directly caused Japan to surrender were the two mushroom bombs dropped by America."

"Dropped mushroom bombs?" Yang Ruoxue was momentarily confused by Zhou Yang's answer, not knowing what these mushroom bombs were.

But soon, she understood what these mushroom bombs were.
