Chapter 1049: Battle in the Water (First update, please subscribe)
In December 12 and , the world was, to some extent, divided. People were paying attention to the struggle in Hungary on the one hand, and the Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia on the other.

The former has allowed people all over the world to see the most real and cruel side of war through satellite live broadcast, while the latter is the first time that people have watched the Olympic Games live.

The combination of television and artificial communication satellites has brought an unprecedented impact to the whole world, an impact that has even changed human history to a certain extent.

While the northern hemisphere is in the dead of winter, Melbourne is in the height of summer. In the past few days, the competitions here have also attracted the attention of the world, but today, the whole of Melbourne, and even the whole world, are paying attention to the Olympic swimming pool sparkling in the sun.

A water polo match was about to begin in this swimming pool. In the satellite communications vehicle not far away, Yu Minghai, like many other spectators, was looking at the TV screen with great anticipation.

“There are a lot of people here today.”

"It can't be more, Hungary VS the Soviet Union."

Zhao Shouye said from the side.

"The whole world is watching this game. I heard that the broadcasting fees paid by American TV companies alone have exceeded 100 million US dollars, just for this game."

The satellite broadcast provided by Asia Television is not free, you have to pay for it. There are package prices as well as single game broadcasts. This water polo match immediately attracted the attention of the world after entering the semi-finals - Hungary vs. the Soviet Union!

Not because the Hungarian water polo team was the ace of the moment, but because Hungary was suffering from the Soviet Union, and the relationship between the two countries was highly tense. This game naturally attracted people's attention.

“This is not a competition in the water, it’s a showdown between freedom and slavery!”

On the TV screen, reporters from the United States were broadcasting live from the stadium. Other screens also showed live broadcasts from reporters from Britain, France, Germany and other countries, regardless of the outcome of the game.

For Asian TV stations, they are the real winners. The revenue from the live broadcast of the Olympics alone has made them a fortune.

After all, Asia Television is now the only company in the world that can provide satellite live broadcast services. Its three artificial communication satellites form a satellite communication network covering the entire world.

Yu Minghai and Zhao Shouye were sent by the company to maintain the mobile ground station. They drank their drinks while monitoring the TV screen and signal transmission.

At this time, the atmosphere in the stadium was already tense. Before the game, Hungarian captain Dezo Gyalmaty directly refused to shake hands with the Soviet captain. This scene was also recorded truthfully by the photographer. Naturally, it also set the tone for the subsequent games.

As the referee blew the whistle, the two teams immediately started a fierce confrontation. For a moment, the pool was full of splashes, the ball was flying, and the audience cheered one after another.

The Hungarian team encountered strong resistance from the Soviet players during a fast break, and the two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation in the water.

As soon as the captain, Gjár Marty, came on the field, he scored the first goal for Hungary. This scene made the Soviet coach unable to sit still.

"Comrades, Moscow is watching you, the whole Soviet Union is watching you, defeat them!"

Amid the coach's shouts, the confrontation during the game escalated rapidly, with both sides committing frequent fouls and even punching each other.

The Hungarian players also shouted loudly, not wanting to be outdone.

"Comrades, the people of Budapest are still fighting the Russians. Men, women and children are dying and bleeding. Today it is our turn!"

shouted Gyaal Mati.

"Today, let us inspire our compatriots with our victory!"

"Defeat the Russians!"

Amid intense emotions, players from both teams engaged in a thrilling contest underwater. Whenever there was a chance, their legs would turn into fists and they would continuously hit each other hard underwater.

For a moment, the water tennis court turned into a gladiatorial arena.

Soon, a Soviet player was penalized for excessive and rough movements. But even so, it did not stop the confrontation between them, and the small underwater movements even turned into movements on the surface of the water.

The rough punching and kicking continued throughout the game. Five players from both teams were sent off the water. However, only the Hungarian team kept scoring goals. Hungarian captain Chiamati and 5-year-old rising star Erwin Zador each scored two goals. Each goal made the audience cheer. Although there were only a few Hungarians among them, there were countless Hungarian flags at the scene, which made the Hungarian team feel like they were playing at home. People's emotions are simple and will not be deceived by the Soviet "invitation".

With their excellent skills, the Hungarian team took a 4-0 lead. Faced with such a tragic defeat, when the Hungarians attacked the goal again, the Soviet coach even shouted excitedly.

"Comrades, Moscow is behind you!"

When attacking, the Hungarian players tried to squeeze each other with their bodies, while the Soviet players tried to push their opponents away with their strong strength. For a moment, their bodies were tightly entangled in the water, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

Soon the Soviets began to counterattack, they had to score a goal!

The game was already in the final moments, and the 21-year-old Hungarian player Zador was called for a foul when defending Soviet player Prokopov. At this time, Hungary was leading the Soviet Union 4-0, and this penalty was irrelevant to the overall situation.

As the game continued, Zador made a deft turn and successfully got rid of the Soviet players' entanglement and passed the ball to his teammates. The teammates who received the ball immediately launched a counterattack and attacked the Soviet team's goal.

"5-0! 5-0! Beat the Russians!"

Zador shouted loudly to cheer for his teammates. Now that they had come here, they had to teach the Russians a lesson and let them know that the Hungarians would never surrender, whether on the battlefield or on the field.

However, Zador's shouting obviously angered the Russians. The moment he turned around, the angry Soviet player Prokopov punched him in the face. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of Zador's eyes. After the heavy blow, Zador fell into the pool, and his blood dyed the pool water red.

After being punched, Zador felt as if 4000 stars appeared in front of his eyes. As he sank to the bottom of the water, Zador subconsciously reached out and touched his face, feeling the warm blood slowly flowing down. At this moment, he immediately realized.

"Oh my God, I'm not going to be able to play in the next game."

Although he was still conscious, he was unable to swim out of the water. With his eyes open, he could even see the water turning red. That was his blood...

At this time, the situation on the water was out of control. After seeing Zador being beaten, the Hungarian players were furious!

"Damn Russians!"

In an instant, the game in the pool turned into a fierce battle. Chiamati, the captain, swung his fist directly at the Soviet players, and other Soviet and Hungarian players also joined the fight.

The news commentators all spoke loudly and excitedly.

"What we are witnessing now is no longer a game, but a battle, a battle that extends from Budapest! Facing the brutal atrocities of the Russians, the Hungarian players, like the brave Hungarians, gave the most resolute fightback!"

"In Budapest, the Russians had planes and tanks. They could use tanks to destroy buildings and the flesh and blood of Hungarians. But here, in Melbourne, it's fair. They only have their fists! And the Hungarians also have their fists!"

The scene was in chaos, and even the audience in the stands threw Fanta bottles at the Soviets - just like the Molotov cocktails in the hands of the people in Budapest, except that those bottles were filled with Fanta, and as a sponsor of the Olympics, it was the designated beverage of the Olympics.

More people rushed to the poolside, waving their fists in protest and spitting at the Soviet players. The police who were maintaining order immediately blew their whistles, stopped the flying beverage bottles, and tried to separate the two sides in the water.

In order to avoid escalation, the referee stopped the game and announced that the Hungarian team won. Under the escort of the police, the Soviet water polo team fled back to the locker room in a panic. On the way back to the locker room, the audience stood up, applauded and cheered for them, waving the Hungarian flag with a hole cut out of it and shouting loudly.

"Freedom for Hungary!"

"Freedom for Hungary!"

Hearing the shouts from the stadium, the Hungarian players all shed tears of excitement, and Zador, with blood all over his head, stretched out his fist and responded to the audience.

"Freedom for Hungary!"

There was cheering and thunderous applause all around, and then Zador was rushed to the emergency center, where his wound was stitched with 8 stitches.
