1,837 Including Humans
Carlos's expression was a little exaggerated and looked a little ridiculous, but no one present could laugh. Regardless of the special service members or the navy soldiers, the expressions on their faces were very exciting.
There was nothing unusual about Ye Han. It wasn't that he had a particularly strong psychological quality, but that after listening to Carlos's story, he was already mentally prepared for this outcome.
He seemed to calmly ask: "Where did you get the gun?"
Carlos said: "Every time we go to a place, we have to go through it carefully and find all the usable supplies. You should know that Australia has never banned guns, but the management of guns is relatively strict. But after the insect plague broke out, , the Australians are not that strict anymore. Let’s put it this way, the more remote the place, the more guns we have. We can easily find more weapons than we can use.”
Ye Han suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question, and he immediately changed his perspective: "I'm not talking about civilian rifles, bulletproof vests, helmets, tactical vests, grenades, and rocket launchers. Don't tell me, these are also from residents. I found it at home.”
"Some are indeed, but most are not." Carlos said, "Wherever there are people, there are garrisons, and where there are garrisons, there are arms. Regardless of villages, towns or cities, as long as there are people, you can find arsenals, but the scale is large. We relied on the munitions stored before the war to arm ourselves."
"What happened next?" Ye Han asked.
Carlos said: "That's what I just said, arm yourself, absorb the bugs, deal with aliens, and control Australia step by step."
"only these?"
Carlos asked point-blank: "Tell me what you want to hear!"
Ye Han thought for a while and decided to ask for some useful information: "How many of you are there in total?"
"I don't know." Carlos answered without thinking. "Although I was one of the original members, I was not a core member when I was on Buha Island, and I have never been one since I arrived in Australia. I have a certain role in the organization. Status, but not much power... John values power very much. Only he can control the Resistance Army, and he is the only one who knows the size of the Resistance Army. "
"How many people do you think there should be?"
Carlos thought for a moment and said, "At least a few hundred thousand, just a lot more."
"What about the equipment level? I'm talking about heavy weapons." Ye Han asked again.
"I'm not particularly sure about this... I know that the Resistance Army not only has an army, but also a navy and an air force, but I've never seen any aircraft or warships from the Resistance Army.
"
Ye Han suddenly had a thought: "Is it an insect or an alien warship?"
"I said, I don't know!" Carlos emphasized again.
Ye Han had a headache: "Where is the army's equipment? Are there any heavy artillery?"
"Yes, but I don't know how many there are, whether it's cannon or cannonballs."
"Where are the missiles?"
"It seems to have."
Ye Han sighed, and there was no need to ask any more questions, because he knew very well the level of equipment in Australia. The missiles were only medium-range at best. There were definitely tanks and armored vehicles, but the number was only that much. There was no shortage of light and heavy weapons for infantry, and there was no shortage of other weapons. There are absolutely not many types of high-tech weapons.
If he remembered correctly, Australia was invaded by aliens in 1930, and the bugs landed in 31, which was about a year before and after.
Thinking about it this way, the aliens who landed in Australia were quite miserable. They were taken care of by the bugs before they could stand still. The bugs almost controlled Australia by standing on the corpses of the aliens.
Ye Han quickly thought of another important question: "Did you find all your weapons?"
"It was like this at the beginning, but after we slowly took control of Australia, we found a lot of machinery and equipment. As you know, the Insects have a lot of talents, so we secretly set up a military factory, and now we can manufacture some equipment, including rifles. , machine guns, grenades and various ammunition.”
Ye Han had an even bigger headache. He couldn't figure it out. The Insects had taken over the wealth left by the Australian government and built a military industry that belonged entirely to the Insects. Why didn't their superiors find out at all?
He asked Carlos this question, and Carlos said very naturally: "Of course, because we moved all the factories underground."
Ye Han rolled his eyes, this is really a very stupid answer!
Carlos, who had been talking for a long time, couldn't help but said: "Can you give me something to eat? And water!"
Ye Han looked at the submarine officer who was in charge of responding: "Please meet his request."
"No problem." The submarine officer responded and told the sailors beside him, "I'll be here soon."
Ye Han looked at Carlos again: "Do you have an action plan or something like that?"
Carlos was dumbfounded: "What is the action plan?"
Ye Han was a little discouraged: "It's the goal, the purpose, the desire. In short, it's what the resistance army wants to do!"
"Oh, I understand!" Carlos suddenly realized, "In the beginning, it was for survival, then it was to deal with aliens, and now it is to defend Australia and fight against all invaders."
"Including humans?"
"Including humans."
After hearing Carlos's answer, Ye Han not only had a headache, but even his teeth started to hurt: "What is going on? Even if you don't agree with the identity of humans, at least aliens are still our common enemies, right?"
"Not all bug people think they are humans. Many people think bug people are better than humans."
Ye Han tugged at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile: "From a certain perspective, it's not wrong to think so."
Are bugmen better than ordinary people? It's hard to say this question, but the Bugmen possess both human intelligence and Bugman physique, as well as the ability to control insect swarms. In terms of ability alone, Bugmen are indeed very good.
But are humans that bad? In terms of wisdom, insect-men are of the same origin as humans; in terms of physique, cell fusion is no worse than insect transformation; in terms of technology, they are even better than insect-men.
Maybe if you give the Insects enough time, they will have a chance to catch up with humans many years from now, but right now, the Insects' industry and technology are only at the ninth-rate level.
Carlos immediately distanced himself: "But I don't think so. As I said, the Resistance Army has two voices. I am a conservative who wants to cooperate. At the same time, most of us want to restore our human identity, and It’s not like living with a bug’s body for the rest of your life.”
Ye Han nodded in agreement: "Understood, if I were replaced by you, I would think the same way... By the way, you ran out alone and were chased by your companions. What's the story here?"
Carlos sighed, his round ant body sinking obviously, and there was an indescribable decadence on his face: "Do you remember Dr. Carter?"
"Of course I remember." Ye Han said, "You mentioned it just now."
