Although it is normal for the morale of a 50,000 medium-sized mobile force to collapse when tens of thousands of tanks come towards them, the number of casualties still seems a bit outrageous. Even with the foreshadowing of Chu Jungui's bloodletting tactics, it is still outrageous. Break down this
The causes of death of the 60 people were basically car accidents, and only two were injured by stray bullets.
This result is more attributable to Lightyear's commanding ability. Commander Morgan issued a surrender signal as soon as the 7th Army did not slow down, which can only be regarded as a secondary factor. After seeing the surrender signal, Lightyear fought
None of the cars fired, which was the reason why Morgan's casualties were so low.
Including those captured before, Chu Jungui now has a total of nearly 150,000 federal prisoners, and the food expenses alone are a large expense.
Fortunately, most of the early prisoners were now willing to work on the second line, so as soon as the battle ended, a large number of troops came from the rear to collect the prisoners and escort them to designated positions.
Of course, Chu Jungui will not put the prisoners in the energy base. These secrets are not allowed to be known to the prisoners. The escort location is an open area 100 kilometers away from the new base. Now more than a dozen engineering Ark vehicles have rushed over and started to level the land.
, then a large number of engineering vehicles will arrive to build a camp dedicated to prisoners. There are too many prisoners this time, even by the usual standards of light years, a huge camp will have to be built. And this is not over yet, the armor taken off must be registered.
During the storage, the prisoners had to eat, drink, and defecate, and their belongings had to be stored separately. After all the things were done, Chu Jungui found that he actually wanted to build a new base for these prisoners!
Considering that these prisoners were important bargaining chips, even if they could not force the federation to cease the war, they could at least exchange for a large ransom, so Lord Chu thought about it and endured it.
A large number of captives are not completely useless. They can work in the rear, liberating a large number of engineering beasts and turning them into combat beasts, which is equivalent to indirectly expanding the military strength.
It was relatively easy to collect the prisoners of Morgan's army, and they were very cooperative. However, we encountered some difficulties when collecting the prisoners of the 7th Army.
The battlefield covers tens of thousands of square kilometers. At this moment, countless smoke pillars are rising straight into the sky, and there are still wreckage everywhere. There are scattered rescue cabins everywhere on the ground. Most of the hatches have been opened, and there is nothing inside. Occasionally on the ground.
The corpses can be seen, and the light-year warriors coming and going must first capture the prisoners and then dispose of the corpses.
Occasionally, people pretending to be dead suddenly fly into the sky and try to escape, but they are immediately shot down by the Lightyear chariot lingering nearby. Some people even get angry and suddenly open fire when they get close. As a result, many Lightyear soldiers were killed or injured.
Quite a few.
Chu Jungui jumped out of the mecha and walked around the smoke-filled battlefield. In the distance, several engineering vehicles were picking up large pieces of debris and placing them in heavy-duty arks. One ark was already full.
The wreckage slowly drove away, and several other empty Ark vehicles were speeding up.
Watching this scene from a distance, Chu Jungui felt a little less stressed. Since the completion of the new energy base, it has embarked on the vigorous route of refining soil into steel. The output of various materials has increased exponentially, and the traditional heavy-duty
Trucks are no longer enough. Nowadays, Arks are the only ones transporting goods. With the addition of anti-gravity engines, this behemoth of a hundred meters can carry tens of thousands of tons of cargo at a time.
There are tens of thousands of chariot wreckage on the battlefield. This is a huge amount of material. It would be a bit troublesome to deal with it originally, but in the face of surging energy, waste disposal is not difficult at all. Earth can be smelted, and waste is not a problem. The only thing
It is a pity that there are many high-tech components in the federal tank, and there is no time to dismantle and recycle them one by one.
Not far away, two lightyear warriors each dragged a battle armor towards the ark, and then carefully placed the armor on a special shelf. The people inside the armor had long since died, and the armor became their coffins.
According to war etiquette, Chu Jungui is obliged to collect the battle armor of the deceased and return it to the other party. The human body is very fragile, but the battle armor is very strong. Sometimes the human body has been reduced to ashes, and the battle armor can only be relied on.
Chip identification.
Chu Jungui walked for a while before returning to the mecha and ordered a meeting.
There were three more participants in the meeting, Lin Xi, Li Xinyi and Li Xuancheng. Wilson actually had doubts about Li Xuancheng's joining, but Chu Jungui felt that he could risk his life to follow Lin Xi and Li Xinyi to land, and saw the most inappropriate thing.
Seeing the work beast and the devil flying fish, there is no need to exclude him.
When everyone arrived, Chu Jungui asked: "Can 150,000 prisoners be exchanged for an armistice?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Lin Xi was the first to say: "No."
Chu Jungui was thoughtful, and Wilson said: "In the previous tug-of-war here, the Federation abandoned tens of thousands of soldiers time and time again. This is a full-scale war. It is difficult to exchange 150,000 prisoners for a truce."
Chu Jungui nodded slowly and asked again: "150,000 is not enough, what about 500,000?"
This time Wilson showed hesitation, but Lin Xi shook his head: "Not enough."
Chu Jungui looked at each other and understood what she meant. The main battlefield between the Federation and the Dynasty was the vertical line. No matter how the battle ended, N77 could not stop fighting alone until the winner was determined on the main battlefield.
Chu Jungui thought about it and asked again: "What about a temporary truce?"
Lin Xi asked back: "Would you agree?"
Chu Jungui shook his head: "Of course not."
The conference room fell into silence. It was supposed to be a hearty victory, but the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
However, the test subjects will not be affected by emotions. After thinking about the future path, he said: "No matter what the Federation will do, we must first collect 500,000 prisoners. General Wilson!"
Wilson straightened up.
Chu Jun returned and said: "Pick a few prisoners and put them back, and ask them to bring a message to the federal army, saying that we can accept the ransom. The price is 1.5 times the normal market price. Every day, the ransom will increase by 1%. It will be collected after 90 days."
If the ransom is not paid, we consider that the Federation has automatically given up its right to redeem the captives."
Wilson was startled and reminded: "The ransom is only applicable to the children of big families. The Federation will negotiate the exchange of prisoners after the war. We will not talk about it now."
"We must have many children from big families on our hands, so let's talk about this part first."
Wilson nodded, went out to make arrangements, and returned in a moment.
Chu Jungui looked at the time and said, "It has been 24 hours since the battle ended."
Except for the wise man and Kaitian, everyone was a little confused.
Chu Jungui pulled out the map and adjusted it to the federal-controlled area. He could clearly see the three bases distributed in an angular pattern. If he zoomed in again, he could see that all three bases were building defenses with great fanfare. Almost the entire base had turned into a
construction site.
Chu Jungui switched the map to his own control area again, and could see three federal tanks leaving at high speed and heading towards the federal base. These were the federal prisoners Wilson had just released to deliver a message.
Chu Jungui said at this time: "What the Federation did not expect is that after 24 hours, we have 5,000 more tanks!"
Suddenly smoke and dust billowed from the Lightyear Base Camp, and countless tanks poured out of the base, following the federal prisoners at a distance, and headed towards the three federal bases.
