Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Power Armor and Civil Unrest in the Federation
Perhaps it was because Daryl and his men's escape was too covert. Even when the fleet sent by the Human Union arrived on the other side of the deserted island, they were still not discovered by the remnants of the defeated soldiers on the giant cruise ship.
Afterwards, they boarded the fleet and, together with the more than 2,000 soldiers who came with the fleet, came to the vicinity of the giant cruise ship from a high position and slaughtered the remaining monsters within their sight like a drowned dog.
After the devastating blow from the Human Union, only one in ten of Dekla's soldiers remained. Without the command of a manager, those low-level servants were like broken fish and shrimps without a backbone. They couldn't even gather into a group and were all killed instantly by the concentrated fire of the Human Union soldiers who passed by.
Finally, with the joint efforts of a large number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and soldiers, they found some special mutant insect remains. According to the identification of Researcher Reiner who was fighting with them and Sir Locksim who joined them, it can be confirmed that they are the remains of the bodies of Count Dekla and Bishop Sadler.
It's sad to say that the legendary Earl Dekla and Bishop Sadler might not have known why they died until death came.
If anyone is to blame, they can only blame themselves for being blindly arrogant and provoking enemies they shouldn't have provoked.
Although no one was left alive and only a pile of strange body remains, the accompanying researchers packed up all the special samples and took them back for research purposes.
Professor Mallock once mentioned that if this idea of controlling the actions of offspring through parasites can be used in conjunction with the combat chips of the biological weapons corps, it may be able to complement each other and create a more practical army.
In general, in this war between the Human League and the Spanish pirates, although several captives rescued from the dungeon died during diving due to their poor physical condition, there were basically no casualties among the Human League fighters.
So, apart from the small loss suffered by Rick and his six companions who were locked in the dungeon, this can be considered a good victory.
Lyon has been coveting their population resources for a long time.
One is the energy technology of micro-nuclear batteries, one is the research on military weapons to deal with enemies, and the other is zombie technology similar to medical research.
This epoch-making black technology has greatly boosted the confidence and enthusiasm of the residents of Renlian.
At this point, Avril handed Leon a written report and continued:
Leon lowered his head and thought for more than ten seconds, then raised his head and met Avril's bright and beautiful eyes that were unclear in meaning. He grinned and said seriously:
Since the Federation was already in chaos before he even took action, it was not his fault.
But putting aside these shortcomings, as long as you wear this power armor, the human load-bearing capacity can be increased to more than three to five tons. You can also carry tons of bulletproof armor on your body, load various heavy weapons, dual-wield Gatling machine guns, small missile launchers, etc., which are all a piece of cake.
Compared with the prosperous People's Union, which has established a new order, focuses on the healthy development of its residents, the Federation, an organization that crudely imitates the rules of the old era and uses a hierarchical system to oppress its residents, is like a dying, decadent old man.
.........
However, if a certain number of power armors could be deployed to the battlefield over there, combined with the power armors' powerful load-bearing capacity and nearly unlimited power energy, not only would they be able to carry out all-weather, non-stop, attritional combat against the zombie monsters, but they would also be able to make a forced breakthrough and implement decapitation tactics if there was sufficient intelligence.
However, gradually, as more and more food and ammunition were consumed, the SLA began to feel the heavy pressure that long-distance warfare put on logistical supplies.
"Well, this is a long-term job. I will ask Professor Mallock to provide you with some technical support for hypnosis and brainwashing. If necessary, you can kill or control some key figures and make sure they start a fire among themselves."
Most of the z elements obtained from the mutant giant scorpions were used to make very small civilian-grade nuclear batteries, about one thousand of which have an output power of between one thousand kilowatts and three thousand kilowatts and can be used continuously for about three years.
"The entire federation is in chaos now. Although the two sides have not officially started fighting and there has been no large-scale bloodshed, the grassroots people have already started a large-scale strike. Some poor people have started looting and burning, and are engaging in zero-dollar shopping."
At the same time, she felt a little sad. The human population was not large to begin with, and those organizations that had managed to survive would also die out for various reasons.
"You can try to win over some of the wavering crowd and give them a little motivation."
Perhaps it was because of the potential of this power mecha seen in actual combat experiments that Professor Thomas, General William of the military, and even other managers who had no knowledge of military knowledge, all showed great interest in this equipment.
The development of the world will not stagnate or divert because of the will of certain people. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
"The conflicts that had been pent up over the years in their hierarchy finally erupted."
So, in the sixth year after losing the old-era industrial energy such as oil and gas, the Human Union Organization regained the ability to manufacture large electric vehicles, and their scope of activities began to gradually return to the level before the nuclear war.
Avril nodded silently and took note of all of President Leon's words carefully.
"Oh, what happened? Did they fight among themselves?"
However, Lyon did not agree to this proposal. After all, there are currently three main research directions of the Human League.
Research in these three areas is very important and is related to the future development of mankind, so none of them can be abandoned.
Of course, this is not nonsense. After the first generation of power armor was manufactured, they sent people to the radiation zone to conduct a practical test in the endless monster nest. The results were very gratifying.
Using the kite-flying method, the operators carried out a non-stop attack for ten hours with an ammunition supply point, consuming nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition and successfully eliminating nearly 10,000 monsters.
In the future, is there really hope that humans will reignite the torch of civilization and return to the top of the food chain?
Many people suggested that the military scientific research resources of the Human Alliance should be tilted towards the research of power armor.
"That same night, they executed all the arrested workers, which backfired and aroused the long-suppressed hatred among the people."
While looking at the report in his hand and listening to the vivid narration of his secretary Avril, Leon felt as happy as if he had eaten an ice cream.
He leaned back in his seat, lit a cigar for himself, and asked with a smile:
"Then, federal law enforcement officers arrested all the workers, and a conflict broke out between the two sides, with nearly 30 casualties."
If Lyon had not seen the seriousness of the situation and immediately reinforced the fortress, increasing the number of soldiers in the fortress to 5,000, the more than 2,000 soldiers in the military fortress might have been exhausted to death by their strategy of feinting to the east and attacking in the west, and attacking day and night.
With the help of the large electric motors produced by the staff of the Research Department, even small trucks with a load capacity of more than ten tons can operate normally.
Leon must correctly guide the direction of the development of the Human Alliance, just like the parasitic technology developed by Count Drake and others. If all the survivors become like that, losing their physical freedom and the ability to think for themselves, and becoming a puppet controlled by anyone, what is the difference between that and being dead?
However, good things cannot be left out, and although the first-generation power armor has various defects, its role in the monster battlefield is definitely greater than that of a main battle tank.
With the support of new vehicles and power armor, the Human Alliance Army finally gained the upper hand in the battle between them and the Corpse Talker Empire over the supply line. Without the pressure of supply, the soldiers in the military fortress were finally able to let go and focus on consuming the zombie army sent by the Corpse Talker Empire.
"Their female president Pamela wanted to make a big deal out of it and suppress it, but she couldn't overcome the joint pressure from the factory owners. In the end, she had no choice but to increase the punishment in an attempt to intimidate the grassroots people."
Leon, who was originally having a headache because of the supply problem in the radiation zone fortress, suddenly felt better after hearing the news from his secretary Avril.
However, the number of monsters does not seem to have decreased significantly. Instead, it has increased due to more and more mutations of natural creatures.
It will definitely shine in the war.
At present, the Human Union is at war with the Corpse Whisperer Empire deep in the radiation zone. This strange organization, whose origin is unknown but can control mutated zombies, does have some capabilities.
After possessing a powerful source of power, Professor Thomas lived up to expectations and successfully developed an exoskeleton armor that can greatly increase the body's load-bearing capacity. Well, out of some bad taste, President Leon named it power armor.
Although power armor may appear bulky and lack defensive power when dealing with human high-tech weapons such as missiles, bombs, and armor-piercing bullets, it is the most suitable weapon to deal with monsters that have no intelligence and can only use primitive means of attack.
Although the Human Union obtained a lot of medical supplies from the Federation at low prices by selling food and other industrial products, if you look at the value of the goods, the Human Union actually suffered a small loss.
As a leader, we cannot just see the strength of one aspect and ignore other aspects, which would lead to abnormal development of technology.
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
First of all, with the full support of President Leon, micro-nuclear battery technology began to gradually set off a huge reform within the organization.
While the war on the side of the Human Union was in full swing, Avril, who was in charge of communicating with the Federation, suddenly told him an interesting news.
"Boss, the spy we planted in the Federation told me that something big has happened in the Federation."
.........
Although the first generation of gravity armor currently produced has various defects in terms of movement coordination and operating difficulty, it is somewhat weak in actual combat.
They would even sneak attack the supply transportation routes of the Human League, and flexibly use various human warfare tactics such as night raids, sneak attacks, and camouflage, causing a lot of losses to military commanders who were accustomed to fighting stupid monsters.
"Of course, for the sake of friendship between us and the Federation, you have to disguise yourself as other survivors and not reveal your identities."
In the past year, many major events have taken place in the People's Federation.
No monster can break through the multi-layered heavy bulletproof armor manufactured by the Scientific Research Department, and the micro-nuclear battery inside the power armor provides endless power for the equipment.
He tapped the table and continued:
"Avril, the organization's spy department will cooperate with your actions. Go to the military headquarters to get a batch of non-militarized firearms and supplies, and have them delivered to the federal territory and given away for free to those poor people who want to resist."
However, now, new large-scale electric vehicles have been successfully developed, and the distance between the two sides does not seem so far for this reason.
Although the tester was exhausted, this dazzling record of killing tens of thousands of people was a miracle for any combat unit.
As long as they carry enough ammunition, and rely on the thickness of their armor and the heavy weapons in their hands, drivers can easily kill thousands of zombies in a group.
They controlled hundreds of thousands and millions of zombies, and tirelessly attacked the military fortresses built by the Human Union day and night.
If the two sides were not too far apart and there was not a large radiation zone in between, he might have been unable to resist mobilizing troops and conquering the Federation by force.
Almost every day, tens of thousands of zombies are blown to pieces by the artillery fire of the Human Union soldiers. In order to gain a foothold in North America, the Human Union must eliminate all the monsters in this territory and the so-called Corpse Talker Empire. The contradiction between the two sides can be said to be irreconcilable.
It's a pity that the little girl Clementine's rare vacation was full of twists and turns because of this accident. Although she rested for a while because of her injuries, this experience will probably leave some unforgettable shadows in the girl's heart.
"Since the Federation is such an evil organization that bullies innocent civilians, then we, the Human Union, should indeed provide some help to those poor people."
At this point, Leon suddenly thought of something and said:
Avril pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, nodded, and flattered:
"Boss, you guessed it right."
"Oh, right? We have already eliminated the Savior Army. It's just right. We can use their name for a while. You can act in the name of the Savior Army."
"The spy lurking there told me that three days ago, a small civil strife broke out in the Federation. The workers in a chemical plant, led by the foreman, killed the owner and his entire family because of the long-term oppression by the owner."
In order to support the war, Lyon had to stop the production of some daily necessities, increase the working hours of workers, and shift the industrial power within the organization to the manufacture of military supplies.
Although the residents of Renlian did not express too many negative emotions due to the increased work pressure and the decline in quality of life.
But as the leader of the organization, Leon knew very well that he had to find a way to resolve this costly war as soon as possible.
