While Skynet was resting, Tang Yu also seized the time to expand his power. He was very sure that because of the Commander's spacecraft, Skynet would definitely regard his Guardian Group as the biggest threat.
Now Skynet must be using 16% of the Commander's spacecraft's data that had been leaked to develop a device that could counter interference. Once the development was completed, what awaited him would be a thunderous blow!
At the same time, because he noticed that there was something wrong with John - Connor -1, Tang Yu also needed to speed up his infiltration of their side.
The two cities of New Lhasa and New Dalian were now full of all kinds of goods, including a large number of Hope No. 3 food, poisoned assault rifles, countless bullets, and many industrial products, including construction machinery, vehicles, and so on.
In order to transport these goods, Tang Yu built an airport in New Lhasa and New Dalian respectively. He was also laying a railway network to connect New Lhasa and New Dalian with the new Chengdu, New Atlanta, New Lanzhou, Southampton, and the manufacturing center under his control. The car graveyard where the Guardian Group was located had also been built.
And John - Connor -1 also kept his promise, sending a large number of ores, rubber, various raw materials, and the wreckage of the Terminator robots collected from various battlefields to Tang Yu. However, these wreckage had obviously been screened once, and the ones sent were all damaged. But Tang Yu was not picky. When it came to recycling waste, the Guardian Group was obviously very good at it. Even if it did not work, he could melt it and use it as raw materials.
In the area under Tang Yu's control, a grain-based economic system with Hope No. 3 as the main focus was also taking shape. After the planting of Hope No. 3 began and the harvest of three seasons, the entire food supply system was completely revitalized. Tang Yu only needed to wait for Hope No. 3 to mature for another one or two seasons before he could start printing food stamps as paper money.
There was actually a reason why John - Connor -1 chose New Lhasa and New Dalian as the transfer stations. Tang Yu guessed that he might want to quietly hand over these two cities to him. This was because he had already hinted to Tang Yu that this Rebel forces were based on the hatred of Skynet and the robots. Once he opened his mouth in this regard, he would vent his anger. Some of them would have other ideas. Not everyone was like John - Connor, who considered the problem from the perspective of all of humanity.
However, John Connor One was also very clear that this couldn't go on. They had to change. Knowing that he could not do it, he pinned part of his hopes on Tang Yu. Whether it was letting Carla Dames go easily or giving Tang Yu the green light to take control of New Lhasa and New Dalian, it was all the same.
New Lhasa and New Dalian were originally adjacent to New Chengdu, and together with New Lanzhou, these four cities were originally one city group. They were also together when the war zone was established. Therefore, during the two battles of New Lanzhou, the influence of the Guardian Group in these two cities was also expanding, so it had a good foundation to begin with.
After the start of trading with the Rebel forces, the Guardian Group became a household name in New Lhasa and New Dalian. The residents here were also used to the existence of these robots painted with the logo of the Guardian Group. These robots helped them build railways, build houses, and transport goods. They never took away people's jobs. When someone wanted to work on these construction sites in exchange for some rations, there would immediately be robots quitting, vacating the job opportunity.
Later, people gradually discovered that these robots could actually communicate! Of course, there were several types. The simple G-1 engineering robots were very rigid, and talking to them was like playing the piano to a cow. The T-600 robots could carry out some relatively simple communication. They could also speak no more than three words. The communication between the T-800 and the residents was very smooth. Although they rarely spoke, in fact, they could completely understand what people were saying, and they could also express what they wanted to express smoothly.
As long as they could communicate, many problems could be solved. Together with the Guardian Group, these robots also became part of the people's lives. People ate Hope III produced by the Guardian Group, drove cars made by the Guardian Group, and used weapons made by the Guardian Group to defend their homes.
Soon, the commanders of the Rebel forces in New Lhasa and New Dalian, as well as the mayors in charge of the city administration, also accepted the Guardian Group's urban development policies. Their armies also accepted the designation and unique identification code provided by the Guardian Group. All the officials maintained the same status, which was also Tang Yu's respect for them. Although these two cities were still nominally under the rule of John Connor No. 1's Rebel forces, in fact, they had become Tang Yu's sphere of influence.
As the trade progressed, some discordant things began to surface. Just like what Li Zhi did in New Lanzhou, Tang Yu's informants found that after receiving their goods, the Rebel forces would erase the Guardian Group's logo and replace it with the Rebel forces' own logo. Moreover, the flow of population on both sides was greatly restricted.
Tang Yu understood that this was an attempt by extremists like Eriksson to erase the influence of the Guardian Group. He understood this very well. After all, no one wanted their rule to be overthrown. But understanding was one thing, it did not mean that he would sit back and do nothing. Under his instigation, the Orderliness Clan, which had developed in this world, began to send believers to infiltrate the areas controlled by the Rebel forces.
These believers quietly sent some food and weapons that did not have their logo erased over there. They also spread various deeds of the Guardian Group among the people, such as the Battle of Southampton, the two battles in New Lanzhou, and so on. They also told some mysterious stories, such as robots that could help old grannies cross the road, and the God of Machinery that could suppress Skynet, and so on.
Not only that, the Hope III that Tang Yu sent out had all been genetically modified. They could be eaten, but could not be used for farming directly. If one wanted to farm, that was possible. The Guardian Group would provide the seeds. In fact, all the seeds of the Hope III were under the direct control of Tang Yu. An escort team composed entirely of T-800's guarded the place day and night. No one could steal the seeds from there.
