Chapter 198: Power Armor and the Federation's Civil Strife
Perhaps the escape of Daryl and the others was too hidden, until the fleet sent by the People's Federation arrived on the other side of the desert island, it was still not discovered by the remnants of the defeated generals on the giant cruise ship.
Later, they boarded the fleet, and together with the more than 2,000 soldiers who arrived with the fleet, they condescendingly approached the giant cruise ship and slaughtered the remnants of the monsters in their sight.
After the devastating blow of the People's Federation, there are almost no ten fighters under Dekra's command, and without the command of the administrator, those low-level servants are like broken fish and shrimp without the backbone of the main backbone, and they can't even gather into a group, and they are all killed by the passing soldiers of the People's Federation.
In the end, with the joint efforts of a large number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and soldiers, they found some special mutant worm-type wreckage, and according to the identification of the Reiner researcher who accompanied the battle and Sir Locksim, who took refuge in them, it was determined that it was the remains of the corpses of Count Della and Bishop Sadler.
It is also tragic to say that the legendary Count of Della and Bishop Sadler may not know why they died until death comes.
If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for being blind and arrogant, and provoking enemies who should not be provoked.
Although there were no living wounds, only a large number of strange corpse remains, for the purpose of research, the accompanying researchers still packed all those special samples and brought them back.
Professor Marlock has mentioned that this idea of controlling the actions of the offspring through parasites, if it can be borrowed from the combat chips of the biological weapons legion, may be able to have a complementary effect and create a more practical army.
On the whole, in this war between the Human Federation and the Spanish pirates, although a few prisoners rescued from the dungeon died in the process of diving because of their poor physique, the soldiers of the Human Federation basically did not suffer casualties.
So, except for a small loss for the six Ricks who were locked up in the dungeon, this can be regarded as a good victory.
It's a pity that the little girl Claymanting's rare vacation is full of twists and turns because of this accident, although she has also recuperated for a period of time because of her injury, but this experience may have left some unforgettable shadows in the girl's heart.
………………
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past year, many major events have also taken place in the People's Federation.
First of all, the miniature nuclear battery technology, under the full impetus of President Lyon, began to gradually set off a huge reform within the organization.
This black technology that spans the times has greatly boosted the confidence and enthusiasm of the residents of the People's Federation.
Most of the Z elements obtained from the mutant giant scorpion are used to make very small civilian-grade nuclear batteries, about 1,000 of them, with an output power of between 1,000 kilowatts and 3,000 kilowatts, which can last for about three years.
With the large electric motors produced by the staff of the scientific research department, even small trucks with a load of more than 10 tons can operate normally.
As a result, in the sixth year after losing the industrial energy of the old era, such as oil and gas, the People's Union regained the ability to manufacture large electric vehicles, and their range of activities began to gradually return to the level before the nuclear explosion.
And with a powerful power source, Professor Thomas also lived up to expectations and successfully developed an exoskeleton armor that can greatly increase the weight of the human body.
Although the first-generation gravity armor currently produced has various defects in both action coordination and operation difficulty, it is somewhat collapsed in actual combat.
But these shortcomings aside, as long as you wear this set of power armor, you can increase the load capacity of humans to more than three to five tons, and you can also carry tons of bulletproof armor on your body, load all kinds of heavy weapons, dual-wielding Gatling cannons, small missile launchers, etc., are all trivial.
As long as the amount of ammunition they carry is sufficient, with the thickness of the armor on their bodies and the heavy weapons in their hands, the drivers can easily achieve a thousand kills in the zombie horde.
Of course, this is not nonsense, after the first generation of power armor was built, they also sent people to the radiation zone to conduct a combat test in the endless monster lair, and the results were very gratifying.
No monster will be able to break through the multi-layered heavy ballistic armor made by the Research Department, and the miniature nuclear battery inside the power armor provides endless power for this set of equipment.
By flying kites, the operators carried out a non-stop attack for ten hours with ammunition supply points, consuming nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition and successfully eliminating nearly 10,000 monsters.
Although the tester was tired and half dead, this dazzling record of 10,000 people is a miracle for any combat unit.
Perhaps seeing the potential of this power mecha from actual combat experiments, whether it is Professor Toms, General William of the Military Department, and even other managers who do not know military knowledge, have a strong interest in this equipment.
It has been suggested that the military scientific research resources of the People's Federation should be tilted towards the research of this power armor.
Although power armor can be bulky and inadequate in defense against high-tech weapons such as human missiles, bombs, armor-piercing shells, etc., it is the most suitable weapon for using it against monsters that have no intelligence and can only use primitive means of attack.
However, Leon did not agree to this proposal, after all, there are currently three main research directions of the People's Federation.
One is energy technology for miniature nuclear batteries, one is research on military weapons to deal with the enemy, and the other is zombie technology similar to medical research.
The research in these three areas is very important and has a bearing on the future development of mankind, and none of them can be abandoned.
As a leader, you can't just see the power of one aspect and ignore the other aspects, so that the development of science and technology is deformed.
Leon must correctly lead the direction of the development of the Human Alliance, just like the kind of parasite technology that Count Draco developed, if the survivors all become like that, lose their physical freedom and the ability to think for themselves, and become a puppet controlled by others, what is the difference between that and death?
However, of course, the good things can't be without, although the first generation of power armor has all kinds of flaws, but its role on the monster battlefield is definitely more than a main battle tank.
And for now, the Human Union Organization is at war with the Corpse Whisperer Empire in the depths of the radiation zone, and this strange organization that doesn't know where to come but can control mutant zombies does have some ability.
They manipulated hundreds of thousands of zombies, day and night, tirelessly attacking the military fortresses built by the Human Federation.
It even sneaked up on the supply and transportation routes organized by the Human Federation, and flexibly used various night raids and sneak attack camouflage, which made the military commanders who were used to fighting stupid monsters suffer a lot.
If Leon hadn't seen the seriousness of the situation and immediately reinforced the fortress, increasing the number of soldiers in the fortress to 5,000, maybe the more than 2,000 soldiers in the original military fortress would have been attacked by them, and they would have been exhausted to death by their non-stop attack strategy day and night.
However, if a certain amount of power armor can be put into the battlefield over there, with the powerful load-bearing capacity and almost unlimited power energy of the power armor, it can not only carry out all-weather and uninterrupted attrition operations against zombie monsters, but also forcibly break through and implement decapitation tactics when there is sufficient intelligence.
It will definitely shine in the war.
And just when the war on the side of the People's Federation was in full swing, Avril, who was in charge of keeping in touch with the Federation, suddenly told him an interesting news.
"Boss, the spy we planted in the Federation told me that something big is going on in the Federation."
Leon, who was still suffering from a headache due to the supply problem in the fortress of the radiation zone, suddenly improved his depressed mood after hearing the news from his secretary Avril.
He leaned back in his seat, lit himself a cigar, and asked with a smile:
"Oh, what's going on? It can't be that they are fighting internally, right? ”
Avril pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a sweet smile, nodded, and flattered:
"Boss, you guessed right."
"The contradictions that have been accumulated over the years of their hierarchy have finally erupted."
"The spies lurking there told me that three days ago, there was a small civil unrest within the Federation, and a worker in a chemical plant, led by the foreman, killed the factory owner and his family because of the long-term oppression of the factory owner."
"Then law enforcement officers within the federation arrested all the workers, and clashes broke out between the two sides, with nearly 30 dead and wounded."
With that, Avril handed Leon a written report and continued:
"Their female president, Pamela, wanted to make the big deal small and forcibly suppress the matter, but she couldn't resist the joint pressure of the factory owners, and finally chose to increase the punishment in an attempt to intimidate the people at the bottom."
"That same night, they executed all the captured workers, which was self-defeating and provoked a long-standing hatred among the population."
"Now the whole federation is in chaos, although the two sides have not officially started fighting, and there have been large-scale bloody clashes, but the people at the bottom have begun to strike on a large scale, and some poor people have begun to smash and loot and burn, and buy for zero yuan."
While looking at the report in his hand and listening to the lively narration of the little secretary Avril, Leon was like eating an ice cream, and he was in a happy mood.
Although the People's Federation has obtained a lot of medical supplies from the Federation at low prices through the sale of food and other industrial products, in terms of the value of the goods, it is actually the People's Federation that has suffered a small loss.
And compared with the establishment of a new order, focusing on the healthy development of the inhabitants, and the thriving people's union, the federation, an organization that coudes the rules of the old era and oppresses the inhabitants with a hierarchical system, is like a dying old man.
Lyon has long coveted their population resources.
If it weren't for the distance between the two sides and a large radiation zone in between, maybe he would have been unable to help but mobilize his forces and conquer the Federation by force.
However, now that a new large electric vehicle has been developed, the distance between the two sides is not so far away for this reason.
Since the Federation has already messed up on its own before he can make a move, it is no wonder that he is in trouble.
Leon lowered his head and thought for more than ten seconds, then raised his head and met Avril's bright and beautiful eyes of unknown meaning, he grinned, and then said seriously:
"Since the Federation is such an evil organization that deceives innocent civilians, then our Federation of People should indeed provide some help to those poor people."
He tapped on the table and continued:
"Avril, the Organizational Espionage Section will cooperate with your actions, and you will go to the military headquarters to get a batch of demilitarized firearms and supplies, and let people send them to the territory of the Federation, and give them for free to the poor people who want to resist."
"You can try to win over some of the wavering crowds and give them a little bit of motivation."
"Of course, for the sake of our friendship with the Federation, you have to disguise yourself as the forces of the other survivors, and you can't reveal our identities."
Speaking of this, Leon suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, haven't we already wiped out the Salvation Army, just right, you can use their name, and you will act in the name of the Salvation Army."
"Well, this is a long-term job, I will ask Professor Marlock to provide you with some technical support that can hypnotize and brainwash, if necessary, you can kill or control some key people, and be sure to make them start a fire within themselves."
Avril nodded silently and memorized all the words of President Leon.
At the same time, she also felt a little emotional in her heart, the number of human beings is not many now, and those organizations that have survived with great difficulty will also die out for various reasons.
However, the number of monsters does not seem to have decreased significantly, but has increased due to the mutation of more and more creatures in nature.
In the future, is there really any hope for humanity to rekindle the torch of civilization and return to the top of the food chain?
………………
The development of the world does not stagnate or shift because of the will of some people, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
With the support of new vehicles and power armor, the battle between the Human Alliance and the Corpse Whisperer Empire on the supply line has finally gained an advantage, and without the pressure of supply, the soldiers in the military fortress can finally let go of their hands and feet and consume the zombie army sent by the Corpse Whisperer Empire with all their might.
Almost every day, tens of thousands of zombies are blown to pieces by the artillery fire of the soldiers of the Human Federation, and in order to gain a firm foothold on the territory of North America, the Human Federation must destroy all the monsters on this territory, and must destroy the so-called corpse whisperer empire, and the contradictions between the two sides can be said to be irreconcilable.
Gradually, however, as more and more food and ammunition were consumed, the PJP began to appreciate the heavy pressure of war on logistical supplies during long-distance warfare.
In order to support the war, Lyon had to stop the production of some household items, increase the working hours of the workers, and tilt the industrial power of the organization to the manufacture of military supplies.
Although the residents of the People's Federation did not express too many negative emotions because of the increase in work pressure and the decline in the quality of life.
But as the leader of the organization, Leon knew that he had to find a way to solve the costly war as soon as possible.
