Now John - Connor No. 1's side was on the verge of splitting, and there were serious extremists. The situation on the Salvation Army's side was unclear, but it was conceivable that since there was no strong leader like John - Connor, the internal chaos was almost certain.
Also, from what Schwarzenegger said, it seemed that these human forces were still in conflict with each other? It shouldn't be that simple. Perhaps some people thought that John - Connor No. 2 was a robot traitor. How did the saying go, machine traitor … oh no, it was human traitor.
"What did John - Connor No. 2 do?" Tang Yu asked.
"He received the support of the Digitalized Revolutionary Army, and the Salvation Army and John - Connor No. 1 have fought with the Digitalized Revolutionary Army," Schwarzenegger replied.
"Digitalized Revolutionary Army? Where are they now? "Tang Yu's intuition told him that Catherine Weaver was likely there.
"Skynet is attacking them, humans are also attacking them, and they didn't hesitate to fight both sides at the same time. So, they were broken up before, but their mainframe core has been moved away, so they shouldn't be destroyed yet. But I can't find their specific location, "Schwarzenegger replied.
Tang Yu nodded and said to Schwarzenegger, "I was supposed to go to John - Connor No. 2's side. But now that Skynet's attack is imminent, I have to stay here to hold the fort. I will allocate two White Goose transport planes to send your governor's system, as well as a batch of weapons and food, to support their battle. "
Then he paused and said, "I will also send a batch of dedicated communication equipment, so that we can maintain contact. And if the situation on their side is not good, then find a way to retreat to my side, so that they can preserve a trace of hope. "
"Understood." Schwarzenegger replied in a deep voice. He never spoke much, nor did he raise doubts. He only knew how to execute. And this wasn't because he was mechanical or rigid, but because of the trust between him and Tang Yu.
"It's just that I don't know how long this calm before the storm will last …" Tang Yu said. He turned on the computer and brought up the map of this world. He pointed at a small dot in the middle and said to Schwarzenegger, "This is the place where the Guardian Group of this space-time had appeared. It's also where the Aurora Island of this space-time is located. Our next target is here! "
…
In the hinterland of Skynet's control, there was a huge city. It was the Gray Shirt Army's city — Gray City No. 1.
The Gray Shirt Army members who had surrendered to the Skynet and were enemies of the humans lived here, as well as their families. Skynet's strategy was actually very strange. It did not take any action to exterminate the human race. After launching nuclear weapons to destroy the human race's major cities and military bases, it was very keen to capture the human beings who were hiding everywhere as slaves.
For the robots, after destroying the main resistance of the humans, there were actually many ways to destroy the remaining humans. For example, spreading viruses, destroying the environment, and so on. But Skynet did not do that. It only continuously created Terminators and attacked the cities one by one. Those who resisted would be killed by the Terminators, but as long as they knelt and surrendered, Skynet would not kill them. They would only lock them up in the concentration camp.
In the concentration camp, human captives would be marked and differentiated. Those who resisted the most would be executed or used as human experiments. Those who did not want to resist, but were also unwilling to work for Skynet, would be escorted by the Terminators and become Skynet's labor force to create more robots and build more factories.
And those who were willing to surrender and shoot at their own people would be incorporated into the Gray Shirt Army. After joining the Gray Shirt Army, they would be further identified. If they were truly loyal to Skynet, then their families would also be liberated — if they were still alive.
As for why this was so, no one knew. Even Tang Yu, who had read a lot about the Terminator's settings, did not know.
The cities that Skynet built for the Gray Shirt Army to live in were called Gray City No. 1, No. 2, and then No. 3. These cities were surprisingly well planned. Perhaps it was because all the knowledge in Skynet's database came from the human race.
Gray City No. 1 was the first city built for the Gray Shirt Army, and also the largest. The Gray Shirt Army's highest command was located here. It was only a ten-storey building, but it covered a large area. There were many flags representing Skynet on the building. On the black flags was a red mechanical palm, and in the middle of the palm was a huge eye.
In an office on the top floor of the building, a man in his sixties with white hair and a strong body was standing outside the window, looking at the sunset outside in a daze. One of his eyes was blinded during the battle, and he wore a black eye patch. The eye patch was made of metal, and the sensors on it were flashing red.
After standing there for a while, he touched the neat stubble on his chin, turned around, and walked to his office table. He opened an expensive cigar box made of Spanish cedar wood, and lightly tapped the humidifier inside to check the humidity inside. Then, he took out a cigar with the Davidoff logo and held it in his hand.
He lit a match, and slowly rotated the cigar above the flame, roasting it. After a while, he lit a second match and continued to roast it. When the match was about to burn out, he lit the cigar.
Knock knock knock. A series of knocks came from the office door.
"Come in, Beliel." The man's eyes were still staring at the cigar, and he spoke without raising his head. His voice was deep and resounding.
Ka-cha. The office door opened, and a tall, thin man in a military uniform and glasses walked in. It was worth mentioning that there were four stars on his epaulets. He was a general! But in front of this man, he was still very respectful.
"The next phase of Skynet's operation plan has been sent over," General Beliel said carefully. "Marshal Artuzov."
This person was the supreme commander of the Grey Coat Army, Marshal Artuzov! But when he heard General Beliel's words, he wasn't anxious at all. He just patiently rotated the cigar in his hand. After the cigar burned for a while, he took out a special pair of scissors and cut off the tip of the cigar. Then, he lit a match and reignited the cigar. Only then did he put it in his mouth and took a deep puff, an intoxicated look on his face.
"Marshal …?"
Marshal Artuzov spat out a mouthful of smoke and said slowly, "This operation is to eliminate the Guardian Group that has reappeared in the southeast, right? There's nothing much to say. You will lead your Third Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps on the eastern front, and work with the Second Army Corps in the southeast to form Army Group A in the southeast. You will also be the commander. "
"I'm terrified … But, I promise to bring back victory!" Beliel said with his head lowered.
"Hundreds of thousands of troops attacking a tiny place occupied by the Guardian Group. There's no doubt about victory. I only have one request for this operation." Marshal Artuzov continued.
"Please speak."
"To borrow a phrase from a famous person in China … Kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, go quickly and come back quickly." Marshal Artuzov's single eye flashed with a sharp light.
"Yes!!" General Beliel immediately saluted and said loudly.
[Note 1]: Actually, the Terminator series' portrayal of Skynet is very strange. It can only be said that when James Cameron was creating this work, he thought more about how to create the atmosphere of a mechanical apocalypse, and deliberately ignored the various illogicalities of Skynet itself. This is the biggest difference between a movie and a novel.
