The live broadcast room was crowded with many Blue Star viewers.

The main reason was related to the upcoming broadcast of the [Immersive Plot].

Although Polestar released a lot, it wasn't everything, so after the plan was disrupted, Yu Feng quickly replaced a number of originally planned [Republic Series Characters].

After all, with the [Viewing Version], viewing the [Immersive Experience] mode plot would have many repetitions.

It was okay at the beginning, but now that Polestar has released so many movies at once.

It's hard to keep up with the new ones, who would watch content that's pretty much the same?

So aside from some special plot characters, Yu Feng adjusted and replaced many, focusing on characters not currently in the [Viewing Version], then found a streamer to quickly finish the plot.

Hurriedly exchanged, it began.

There's no time to waste.

According to Polestar's explosive number, the next batch of [Viewing Version] updates might have a large number of [Historical Figures] movies uploaded.

By then, adjustments will be needed again.

So, before Polestar releases more, start broadcasting immediately.

Other streamers were also working overtime to go through the plot, then preparing to exchange for [Immersive Experience] qualifications for the live broadcast.

As the number of people in the live broadcast room increased.

Yu Feng glanced at the time and asked the streamer to start the [Immersive Experience].

The screen slowly brightened.

Three words emerged: [Jiang Weiping].

The Blue Star users in the live broadcast room flashed puzzled looks in their minds, never heard of it.

Just thinking about it.

The deeds of Jiang Weiping popped up in the various livestream rooms linked by Yu Feng, but the first entry stunned the Blue Star players in the room: [Republic's eldest honoree]?

This... what kind of title is that.

In all the live broadcast rooms, the immersive experience's screen slowly brightened.

[1964] appeared.

Tick-tock—tick-tock—

The sound of instruments rang.

Then a bright hospital room came into view, an elderly man with a long beard lay with closed eyes on a bed, beside a bedside table.

Seeing this scene.

The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room were amazed.

Totally unexpected opening.

Moreover.

[1964] was only 15 years after the founding of the nation, and already such an old age.

No wonder the previous material mentioned the Republic's eldest honoree, but calculating based on this, the old man was also quite aged during the war.

Over 60 and still fighting?

Gasp—

Somewhat impressive indeed.

The Blue Star viewers in the live room looked at the elderly man with white hair and beard, appearing to be in his 80s or 90s, and couldn't help but be shocked.

In the screen.

The old-fashioned radio's sound crackled, an announcer's passionate voice emerged:

".... Prepare for war and take care of people! New industrial bases will be constructed in the Southwest and Northwest regions."

"..... The military district's training report show was successfully concluded!"

".... Research is in the final sprint phase, with scientists working day and night to break the nuclear monopoly."

As the camera zoomed in, closer to the elder's face.

The elder, listening to the radio and hearing the Republic's continuous development and good news, his lips trembled with a smile, suddenly the elder's inner voice echoed in the screen:

"So good...."

"In this life.... it wasn't lived in vain...."

"Worth it...."

Approaching life's final moments, the elder's voice carried a hint of acceptance of life and death, and joy at the country's strength in the broadcast.

But more predominantly, satisfaction, and a sense of no regrets.

As the camera drew closer... closer....

Swish!

Screen switch.

Returned to that smoke-filled era, the tumultuous court, the affected villages.

In the screen.

[1885] appeared, at that time.

The camera appeared above a farmland, the 7-year-old Jiang Weiping was following in the fields, picking firewood and vegetables alone in the evening.

This is now a reflection of the vast majority on the land of Huaxia.

In the evening, Jiang Weiping played outside, under the village's old tree gathered restless men discussing outdated news, with occasional voices of frustration rising.

The young Jiang Weiping did not know what the adults were discussing.

As the screen transitioned.

At 15, Jiang Weiping went to Qinghecheng in Fucheng to be an apprentice at a cloth shop.

A year later.

He worked as a long-term laborer in Fucheng's southeast corner.

With entering the city.

People and things encountered became more varied, news became more informed.

Gradually.

Jiang Weiping began to understand what those villagers were talking about, a strong critique of the impotent government, a fury against foreign oppression.

Though not affected, just angry.

With Jiang Weiping growing up, the urge to save the country grew stronger.

Finally.

At 19, Jiang Weiping heard recruitment news.

Believing joining the army could save the country.

Thus he quit laboring, enlisted, served as an orderly, platoon leader, and finally instructor.

In Jiang Weiping, the urge to save the country never faded.

But....

Even such a Qing military sometimes left Jiang Weiping feeling utterly lost.

He looked at his faded military uniform and the rust-covered ironclad ships anchored far away.

Can this really save the country?

Jiang Weiping was unsure of what the future would hold, but having been in the military for many years without a chance to fulfill his aspirations always left him feeling perplexed.

Until....

The supervisor of his unit, the renowned Lord Li across the world.

Signed that humiliating treaty surrendering authority.

Watching the common folk outside the barracks, continually cursing, and students in the city waving flags as they marched.

Jiang Weiping couldn't believe that after so many years of service, this was the outcome, even fighting a battle with foreigners would be better.

In despair with the court, Jiang Weiping left the military barracks for his hometown.

Upon seeing this.

The Blue Star viewers in the live room understood, especially those who had previously watched the [Xin Qiji] live stream with Fang Ming, they realized this was someone with genuine intentions to save the country.

Similar to Xin Qiji.

Except Xin Qiji struggled for over 40 years and ultimately did not achieve it.

And the beginning of the scene.

Showed the final moments of the elderly man with a resolution.

Only, no one knew how many difficulties there were along the way.

The scene continued to flow.

Back in his hometown, Jiang Weiping still cared about national affairs.

But he never saw hope.

Until several years later.

Jiang Weiping learned from the newspaper of the overthrow of the court, and the abdication of the Qing Emperor.

He was filled with fantasies about the interim president who toppled the corrupt regime, thinking he could end the chaos and make the country stand proudly.

Then.

After several peaceful years in his hometown, Jiang Weiping set out to join the military again.

He joined under the flag of the Beiyang Army.

With his many years of military experience and literacy, he was considered a rare talent within the army at that time.

Within a few years, he was promoted to Company Commander, and then Vice Regimental Commander.

But unable to tolerate the Cavalry Regiment Commander abusing the people, he couldn't help but fight him, resulting in his expulsion from the military.

Yet Jiang Weiping did not lose heart.

He swiftly joined Duan Qirui's command, and with his background, Jiang Weiping quickly rose to regimental commander within a few years.

Only during this period in the Republic.

Warlords' battles caused calamity to the nation.

Even though Jiang Weiping wanted to save the country, he found himself part of the chaos, which led him to leave angrily and return home to farm and study.

This scene.

Left the Blue Star viewers in the live room in shock.

This was a regimental commander's position.

In 1929, although this position was dangerous, it held significant power, compared to returning home to farm and study medicine as an ordinary citizen.

The Blue Star viewers in the live room tried to imagine the situation at the time.

Realizing they couldn't possibly leave it behind.

But in the scene, Jiang Weiping did just that, seeing clearly that his unit was causing harm to the nation, he left without hesitation and returned home.

In the scene.

Jiang Weiping not only studied but also utilized everything he'd seen outside.

Established the Red Cross, medical clinics, and pharmacies in the village.

Constantly honing his medical skills.

And in a blink, another 8 years had passed.

In these 8 years.

Jiang Weiping actively advocated for resisting Japan and saving the country, also promoting revolutionary Party Members, who inspired Jiang Weiping to develop his ideas.

He actively advocated in his hometown, also sharing experiences, allowing local villages to arm themselves fully and be ready to resist invasion at any time.

Until 1937.

The Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, with intense emotions domestically and abroad.

For Jiang Weiping, it was the same.

Although at this time he was 59 years old, he resolutely joined the National Revolutionary Army's 29th Army to resist Japanese invaders until the Battle of Ping-Jin, when his unit was scattered.

Returning home again, Jiang Weiping opened a Western medicine shop.

Because he'd seen the effects of Western medicine outside, which sometimes worked faster than Chinese medicine, allowing more soldiers and wounded to be saved on the battlefield.

At this time.

The live room bulletin erupted into discussion:

[My goodness, is this the third time joining the military?]

[Enlisting at 59, the old man's spirit is unparalleled!]

[Carrying a gun to the battlefield at 59, I get winded climbing stairs at 20....]

[Qing Army, Beiyang Army, National Revolutionary Army, only the Red side is left now it seems.]

[Wow—, he's already 59, will the old man join the military again in his 60s?]

[He's relentless, pure like Xin Qiji, just for the sake of saving the country.]

[Indeed, but the old man was luckier than Xin Qiji, as he was always on the move, unlike Xin Qiji who was held back by the Southern Song court, wasted over 40 years, and lost a lifetime.]

[The main thing is the old man's unrivaled drive, oh my.]

[So impressive.]

In the scene.

As Japanese invaders closed in, life for Jiang Weiping was far from peaceful, certain local armed leaders constantly harassed Jiang Weiping's family, who were renowned in the area, to demonstrate their allegiance.

Even the pharmacy was searched multiple times.

Such days.

Continued until February 1938.

Upon hearing the Eight Route Army passed through his hometown.

At that moment.

Jiang Weiping, 60 years old, brought all the medicine from his family's pharmacy without hesitation and joined the Eight Route Army, despite opposition.
