Chapter 1062 Post-War Construction
1062. Post-war construction
The massive body of the Garbage Loader walks around the battlefield, picking up all the available trash. They removed the corpses of the Gray Army, gathered them together and burned them, and moved the corpses of the soldiers of the New Atlanta Militia to the other side and put them away neatly.
The large amount of weapons and ammunition left by the Butcher Division, as well as the vehicles and equipment that can still be used, were all handed over to New Atlanta. Because these weapons are not more advanced than the weapons used by the Grave Keeper Legion. In other words, the weapons made using the advanced gun technology in "Borderless Land" are much more advanced than the weapons of the Skynet Terminator. But for New Atlanta, it is very precious, and it can be relied on to fight against the Terminator!
The people of New Atlanta just started to see these hideous and terrifying garbage loaders, and many people were scared to pee. But later, it was discovered that the stumps and heads of these robots belonged to those gray soldiers, and they immediately felt relieved. From the very beginning of keeping a respectful distance, now I can work with them very peacefully.
Tang Yu also confessed to the public that these were robots he built at the car dump to fight against Skynet. Although many people are terrified of these robots because of Skynet, it cannot be denied that without these robots, it would be difficult for them to defeat the invading Butcher.
A woman rummaged on the battlefield and found several guns under a pile of ruins. She waved her hand quickly, and a garbage loader came by, and the huge mechanical arm lifted the heavy concrete blocks. The woman skillfully checked the guns and found that only one was usable, so she carried the gun on her back, threw the damaged ones to the garbage loader and said, "These are yours."
The garbage loader caught the bad guns, threw them back into the iron basket behind them, and walked towards another pile of ruins.
This time, New Atlanta seized more than 8,000 usable weapons on the battlefield, including Skynet blasters, m-60 machine guns, m-134 Gatling machine guns, etc., which greatly enriched the arsenal of settlements . Moreover, they also found a large number of compressed biscuits, canned food and other supplies, as well as some jerky on the gray army.
These jerky are all human flesh! After Tang Yu knew this, he immediately announced that it was strictly forbidden for anyone to collect and steal this kind of human jerky, even if he was hungry! Otherwise, shoot immediately! This is the bottom line, the bottom line of being a human being!
As for the nearly 20 hunter tanks that were destroyed, many useful parts were removed from them, such as dual-mounted blaster cannons, and super engines that can provide up to 3,400 horsepower. There are no large-scale industrial equipment in New Atlanta now, and these things can only be preserved first. After Tang Yu plans to occupy Southampton, he can use these parts to assemble several usable tanks.
After the bodies of the fallen were sorted out, all the residents of New Atlanta gathered for a large memorial service. In this battle, more than 2,000 people died in New Atlanta, and more than 3,000 people were injured to varying degrees. This is already close to half of the population of the entire settlement, which shows the brutality of the battle.
A large number of people came to the memorial service with guns. At the memorial service, they shot at the sky to express their mourning for their companions, their hatred for Skynet, and their determination to fight to the end.
Looking at the body of the victim who was being cremated, Mr. McDonnell sighed, and said to Tang Yu, "Do you really want to fight Southampton? Are you going to cause more casualties?"
Tang Yu shook his head firmly and said: "Southampton, we must fight! Colonel Dixon took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Although I discovered this at the time, I was unable to stop him. Now he is staring at us like a poisonous snake, it is impossible Let it go! They are building an industrial base in Southampton, and once this base is put into use, we will be greeted by a Terminator army with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles!"
"However, after this battle, he shouldn't dare to come again, right?"
"Do you believe this sentence?" Tang Yu turned to look at him.
"Alas..." Mr. McDonnell sighed again, turned and walked away without speaking.
...
According to the commander's detection, Dixon fled back to Southampton and began to strengthen Southampton's defense. At the same time, he also sent several encrypted communications to the outside world, all asking for help, but all of these communications were intercepted by the commander. Now Dixon, like a refugee on an isolated island, is desperately waiting to die.
But in fact, it is not necessarily true that he is waiting to die. After all, he still has a complete iron hook brigade in his hands, with more than 6,000 people. Coupled with the remnants of the Butcher Knife Brigade he brought back, which numbered close to 1,000, Southampton now has more than 7,000 defenders, which is still much larger than the strength of New Atlanta.
After the defensive war ended, more people were willing to join the army. Now the militia formed in New Atlanta remains at around 2,000 people. The joy of just winning a big victory made their enthusiasm extremely high, especially after obtaining a large amount of military food and weapons from the supplies left by the butcher division.
But the problem still exists. The invading butchers carry only half a month's worth of food, because the distance from Southampton to New Atlanta is only more than 200 kilometers, and they don't need to carry too much. Therefore, these foods can only be used as an emergency, and cannot solve the fundamental problem.
There are still about two months left for the first batch of Hope No. 3 to mature, and the famine problem in New Atlanta needs at least about the third phase of Hope No. 3 planting, that is, nine months before it can be completely resolved. Before that, Tang Yu's greatest hope was still the supplies left by the British Second Army during World War II in the air-raid shelter in Southampton. If that batch of supplies is lost, then food rationing can only be implemented, which will be a heavy blow to the morale that has finally been raised.
Coupled with the heavy machinery and equipment at the Southampton Port Shipyard, this made Tang Yu even more jealous. On the one hand, the Butcher Division couldn't have enough time to transform and use these equipment to build heavy weapons. On the other hand, if he could get these equipment, then Tang Yu would really have the capital to continue fighting with Skynet.
The reconstruction of the settlement is still going on in an orderly manner, and the more than 2,000 militia fighters are gradually mastering combat skills under the training of Zheng Hong, Christina and others. Moreover, Tang Yu once again rejected Mr. Mai Dao's request to ration food and support the most difficult period before No. 3 matured.
The morale of the well-fed militia fighters is now extremely high. Occupying Southampton has become a common word in people's daily chats and greetings.
But Tang Yu understood that Southampton was not easy to play. Now the sky base in the car cemetery is limited by the output of nuclear batteries, which are the energy core of garbage loaders, so only dozens of garbage loaders can be produced every day. Until now, the Gravekeeper Army has only expanded to 1,000 Robots left and right.
However, there are still some things that can be used. For example, there are more than 1,200 prisoners of the Gray Army captured this time. Among them, the vicious ones were directly captured and taken as slaves by the Tomb Keeper Corps. The remaining 900 or so people were still detained in New Atlanta. Tang Yu looked in the direction of the prisoner-of-war camp and rubbed his chin in thought.
