Simulation Game: Crisis Management

In an instant, Luca stared with wide eyes, his whole body tense like a stone, his heart sinking like it was filled with cold lead.

In his mind, the scene on the battlefield in the air-raid shelter, where his comrades perished with the carriage, seemed to reappear.

After he came to his senses.

Luca instantly held down Gu Ji's shoulder, gritted his teeth, and whispered.

"Herman, don't make a move, don't sacrifice yourself here in vain, go with them first, I will definitely find a way to get you out!"

Gu Ji said nothing.

Looking at Ler lying on the ground, dying with eyes wide open in anger;

He no longer knew what to say, letting the Schutzstaffel soldiers grab his arm and confiscate his weapons.

Goring, the Labor Inspector, the Schutzstaffel...

Gu Ji vaguely remembered something.

Although countries had long agreed in the Hague Convention not to use chemical weapons, during World War II, no military expert dared to guarantee that new conflicts between major countries would not involve the use of chemical weapons.

Therefore, Hans Country must secretly need to store large quantities of poison gas for emergencies, measured in thousands of tons.

It would be difficult to achieve this relying solely on military factories.

After all, the environments required to store poison gas are very strict, and the daily inspection and safety maintenance costs are not insignificant, but using civilian chemical plants to share the storage would be much more reasonable.

Even if it was never used, necessary chemical materials like chlorine wouldn't go to waste.

This could also explain why Goring was willing to risk storing massive amounts of liquid chlorine, and how a businessman could mix with the Labor Inspector and the Schutzstaffel.

But in reality.

In 1943, starting from the Black May, Hans Country went from prosperity to decline, the Allied air raids dealt a devastating blow to Hans's industry, the internal empire was already deteriorating, the economy began to decline, and the people's living standards fell.

Yet, the production base was still asleep in the previous illusion of frenzied expansion, and Goring mistakenly thought it was a "sales slump," cutting employees, using many illegal workers, and forced labor as the main production force, intending to reduce expenses.

It was precisely these poorly trained forced laborers who were practically useless before a major accident occurred.

And Goring himself ignored safe production in factories.

At the moment this thought arose in Gu Ji's mind.

Buzz—!

An ear-piercing air-raid alarm echoed over Ludwig Port, and in an instant, multiple black shadows appeared in the night sky, flickering under the stars and bright moonlight.

It was the Hawk Army bomber group!

"Run!!"

Redland's face changed drastically, and he fled into the car like a mole, while the Labor Inspector and those gendarmes staggered around in fright.

Only Gu Ji, Luca, Eugen, and those soldiers who had experienced real battle could remain calm.

Once again, he glanced at Ler lying in the pool of blood.

If he had known that he was protecting such trash back then, would he still have rushed to the basement with utter disregard for his life to shut off the valve…

It can be said.

It was the madness of war, military corruption, a dark corporate environment, and a lack of managerial responsibility that led to this tragic BASF Factory explosion accident!

[Hidden Objective: Successfully Find the Truth Behind the Accident!]

[Calculating level statistics...]

Suddenly, the world before Gu Ji's eyes gradually became enveloped in a yellow-green thick fog similar to chlorine gas.

With the sound of a mournful whistle, the unique text of the game system appeared before his eyes as promised.

[Ultimate Objective: Resolve the BASF Factory Accident Disaster (Success)]★★★

[Honor Earned: Sergeant Rank, Second-Class Iron Cross Medal]☆☆

[Number of Civilians Rescued: 89]☆

[Hidden Objective: Find the Truth Behind the Accident (Completed)]☆☆☆

[Hearts Consumed: 1]☆

[Historical Polarization: 1.001]☆

[Settlement as follows: Total won ★★★★☆☆☆; Rating: Extremely Perfect!]

Just as the game's reward statistics were displayed, Gu Ji was attracted by a few new options that appeared.

"I didn't expect honors and medals to count as points..."

He silently thought to himself.

Strangely, he felt a lack of motivation to earn more honors on the battlefield.

Ler's death made him understand the harshness of war.

The real pain was not the bleeding;

It was the collapse of faith.

[Historical Polarization]: The historical impact caused by the player's character in the level, the higher the polarization, the higher the points, with no upper limit.

After reading the system's explanation, Gu Ji couldn't help but twitch an eyelid.

Historical impact;

With no upper limit...

If he were a general like Meilong'er, turning the tide to prevent the factory explosion accident, and incidentally making a strong acquisition of BASF, he wondered if he could achieve a hundred stars.

But upon closer thought, it was completely impossible.

In his second life, relying on the information and intelligence he accumulated in the previous round, he couldn't even attempt to save two Tiger Tanks, so how could he become a general?

The entire classic level seemed like "destiny."

No matter what he did, the process might deviate, but the results were always the same, the people who died in the first round before grabbing a plane in the air-raid shelter, would still die in the second round.

[You've gained 23 Crisis Points!]

[You've received a Blue Mark Treasure Chest lv2 (Level Exclusive), White Item Treasure Chest lv1 (Level Exclusive) *2!]

Reward statistics ended, the yellow-green mist dispersed.

Before Gu Ji's eyes unfolded a vast blue ocean, the lens kept zooming in, focusing on a shoreline of an island, where the bombardment of warships never ceased.

On the city battlefield, Hans Army's Tiger Tanks were still battling with the Fog Eagle Alliance Army, in the flashing intertwined artillery flames, he vaguely saw Ler, full of excitement, driving the tank, while Eugen was frantically operating the machine gun, and "himself" was rotating the turret.
