1117. The Situation of the World
"I've also learned about the reforms you've carried out in New Lanzhou and New Chengdu. I have to say, you've done very well." John Connor said meaningfully, "But don't forget that it's precisely because we share a common enemy against Skynet and the robots that we're united. This is also the only way we can fight against Skynet!"
"But you should also know that this alone won't be enough to defeat Skynet!" Tang Yu said.
"I know," John Connor replied casually.
Tang Yu suddenly turned his head as if he had been electrocuted and stared at him in disbelief!
"Don't think so much. Let's talk about our cooperation." John Connor patted Tang Yu's shoulder and said.
Tang Yu's expression was a little ugly. He looked at John Connor with a complicated expression, but he still nodded and followed him.
They arrived at the command center together. It was a huge space of at least 2,000 square meters. In front of it was a huge screen, and in front of it were more than ten rows of computers. A large number of combat staff were busy here.
John Connor brought Tang Yu in front of a screen. He clicked on the computer a few times and said, "You probably don't understand the situation in this era. Because we can't launch satellites, it's quite difficult to understand the whole picture of this world."
A complicated but mostly rectangular continent appeared on the screen. However, there were many places on this map that were very blurry.
"This is as far as we can go. Skynet's fighter jets are constantly patrolling, so it's very difficult for us to draw the map. But as you can see, this is roughly what our world looks like. The area of this continent is about 70% of the entire Eurasian continent, and Skynet's headquarters is in the north, but we don't know the exact location. " John Connor clicked a few more times. A large area in the north of this continent was covered in a layer of red.
This red had already occupied 70% of the entire continent, and in some places, they had even fought their way to the southernmost border! This was the situation after the disappearance of the Guardian Group for more than a decade, and after the Rebel forces retreated in defeat!
"Then, the settlements and cities that we know are roughly distributed like this." As John Connor spoke, hundreds of big and small white circles representing cities appeared on the screen, with the names of these cities marked on them.
Tang Yu also found the location of New Atlanta on the map. It was very far to the southeast of the map. It was basically the edge of the world. There were not many cities in this area, and Skynet's forces were already there. He smiled and thought to himself, 'As the saying goes,' Golden Horn Silver Edge Grass Belly '. The place I've teleported to is really the best. Skynet probably didn't invest many troops in this area.'
"And we've discovered something even worse." John Connor operated on the computer again. Countless blue ripples appeared around the entire continent. "Space-time turbulence."
Tang Yu's expression became solemn. He remembered the area of space-time turbulence on the west and south side of New Atlanta.
"Where the space-time turbulence rages, there's nothing but flat land. Bigger stones will also be swept away. Moreover, according to our observations, the space-time turbulence is slowly expanding. It's very slow, but at this rate, it will swallow the entire continent in 100 years at most. In other words, in three years, the space-time turbulence will begin to swallow the outermost group of cities. " John Connor marked more than a dozen cities on the edge of the map. New Atlanta and Southampton were impressively among them.
"And the place we occupy is in this area." John Connor marked dozens of cities on the southeast side of the continent in green, but he could see that the easternmost area had been occupied by Skynet. He pointed there and said, "Last year, we suffered a crushing defeat here. A whole two divisions were defeated, and Skynet directly attacked the southernmost area."
Tang Yu took a deep breath. "So this is the situation we're facing. Skynet is unstoppable, and the space-time turbulence is slowly spreading behind us."
"That's why I want to make changes. I won't refuse anything that can help us defeat Skynet!" John Connor said.
"Then what about John Connor No. 2 and the location of the digitalized Rebel forces?" Tang Yu asked.
John Connor marked more than a dozen cities on the east side of their territory. "John Connor No. 2 doesn't have a lot of people, and the area they control isn't big. As for the location of the digitalized Rebel forces, no one knows. "
Tang Yu pointed to the hundreds of cities on the southwest side of the continent and asked, "Then what are these cities? Other John Connor? "
"These are a loose alliance called the Salvation Army. In fact, after realizing that there were more than one 'John Connor', the situation became complicated. But for the most part, people still followed their former leader out of habit. For example, there are those who follow me, and those who follow John Connor No. 2. But after the cities in this area appeared in this world, no one led them. In other words, their leader, John Connor, is missing, "John Connor No. 1 replied.
"Or maybe dead," Tang Yu added.
"There's only one confirmed dead John Connor. He was located in a rather northerly area. Under the concentrated attacks of Skynet, he was quickly wiped out. This happened ten years ago. So, most of the cities under the control of the Salvation Army were leaderless in the beginning, and no one was willing to obey the other. But when Skynet attacked them, they united to fight against the enemy, "John Connor said.
"Then why don't the few of you unite?" Tang Yu asked.
"There is a certain degree of cooperation, but after all, no one is willing to obey the other, and we and John Connor No. 2 are not very harmonious. After all, they are very close to the robots," John Connor answered.
Tang Yu thought about the contradictory words of John Connor No. 1 and did not speak for a while.
"Then, this is the situation now. What I'm more interested in is, in this perilous situation, what can your Guardian Group do? "John Connor said with his arms crossed over his chest.
"First, let you eat your fill. Second, let your network communication be no longer controlled by Skynet. Third, give you enough weapons to defeat the Terminators. "Tang Yu raised three fingers.
"Very tempting conditions, but what do you want?" John Connor asked.
"All kinds of minerals, the wreckage of the Terminators on the battlefield, and the refugees, and most importantly, open trade," Tang Yu answered.
"Interesting. You want to gradually turn us into your people like Xinzhou Province and New Chengdu?" John Connor's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Your wishful thinking is too good!"
"For now, this will only benefit you. Or, compared to defeating Skynet, do you care more about your position?" Tang Yu said.
Suddenly, a deep voice came. "I object!"
