Start in Night City - #403 - Chapter 403
In Arasaka’s warehouse, he discovered materials piled to the ceiling.
what does that mean?
Not only can Su Xiao mass-produce “Falcyon” exoskeleton armor, but he can also equip all of his elite troops with the highest loyalty and strongest combat effectiveness.
What concept is this?
Think about it.
As long as there are a thousand such soldiers…
No, you don’t need a thousand people, even just three hundred rogue warriors wearing exoskeleton armor…
On what battlefield would this not be a flat push?
You must know that this exoskeleton armor not only provides excellent protection, it can also be equipped with a series of weapons such as Gatling multi-barreled cannons and rocket launch nests.
As long as you put on this thing, it won’t be a problem to transform into a Gundam in minutes.
Some people may think that the world in 2023 has already developed very advanced precision guidance technology, so aren’t the missiles in 2077 more advanced?
You rogue warrior can withstand bullets and artillery shells. If a missile comes over and washes the ground, your ashes will be scattered directly.
But the fact is that the technology of shield versus spear has developed more maturely.
As early as the Fourth Corporate War, Military Technology planned to use missiles to blow up the important military facilities in Arasaka into rubble.
Then the ground troops will advance to fight a 21st century blitzkrieg.
As a result, all the launched missiles were intercepted by Arasaka’s anti-missile interception system, and none of the missiles hit the target.
In the subsequent unification war of 2069-2070, the new United States and the western states launched countless missiles towards the opposite side, but they were also intercepted by more advanced and mature anti-missile interception systems.
The Unification War completely transformed modern warfare into the shape of World War II, and it also made it clear to everyone that, at least in the next few decades, there would be no way for spears to penetrate shields.
This is also the reason why major established giant companies are working hard to develop more advanced prosthetics and firearms instead of competing with missile technology.
…
Although he was stunned for a brief moment when he saw the rare materials piled as high as a hill, Su Xiao soon came back to his senses, then waved his hand and calmly pointed at the rare materials. Materials, he said to the person sent by Arasaka Yorinobu to hand over to him.
“I want all these things. Help me arrange a large transport plane. I want to transport them all back to Bolivia.”
“this……”
The man looked at the pile
It had to be as rare a material as a mountain, and I was dumbfounded.
These rare materials are very high-end materials. It is not easy to collect so many. Su Xiao wants them all with this opening, but he does not dare to agree.
“What? Can’t you take the lead?” Knowing that it is not easy to be a worker, Su Xiao was also a worker before, so she did not embarrass him. “Well, you can report to Mr. Lai Xuan, I will wait for you here. “
“Yes, thank you for your understanding.”
The man thought that Su Xiao would be furious, but he didn’t expect that this man was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
He bowed hurriedly and deeply several times, then walked aside, his eyes lit up with blue light, and reported to Arasaka Yorinobu.
Not long after, the man came back again.
And with a smile on his face.
As soon as Su Xiao saw his appearance, she knew that Arasaka Yorinobu was definitely not obstructing him.
“Is the report finished? What did Mr. Yori Xuan say?”
“Mr. Lai Xuan said, you can say whatever you want, you have the final say.” The man bowed deeply again, “I’m very sorry, Mr. Su, and please forgive me for my rudeness just now.”
“It’s okay, you are also responsible. There is nothing rude or not,” Su Xiao pointed out, “Then what I just said…”
“Of course, no problem. It doesn’t matter how many large transport planes are needed. It’s just that transport planes alone may not be enough. I will arrange for fighter jets to escort them.”
Perhaps in order to make up for his mistake just now, that person also very considerately proposed arranging fighter escort.
There is still a long distance from Night City to Bolivia. Although there are few countries in the Americas that are capable of dealing with air vehicles, there is still a difference between having fighter escorts and not having fighter escorts.
Since the other party was so considerate, Lidya Su would not refuse.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
The reason why Su Xiao wants to transport these rare materials back to Bolivia instead of making them directly in Night City is naturally because there are many people in Night City and it would be bad if something unexpected happens.
Bolivia is our own territory, so of course we can feel at ease there.
Chapter 341 Facts prove that one step is slow and the other is slow (4K)
The night is dark.
The outskirts of Tokyo.
A typical Japanese-style manor, quietly bathed in the moonlight.
The manor’s walls are tall and thick, made of solid wood, stone and metal, reflecting the style of classic Japanese architecture.
The Arasaka clover logo is also carved on the walls and gates to remind tourists who accidentally approach this place – this is Arasaka’s property, please leave as soon as possible!
Even though it was late at night, there were still several private guards in black suits standing in front of the gate of the manor.
They stood like javelins, motionless, completely different from the lazy gangsters in Night City.
They closely monitor the surrounding situation with serious expressions and are always alert.
Behind the wall, there are more private guards armed with weapons, patrolling back and forth.
The entire estate has a hundred private guards.
On the surface, it seems that the number of guards is not as large as the bodyguards at the home of the boss of a Shining Group in Mexico…
But these private guards are all elites who directly belong to Hanako Arasaka.
Everyone is carefully selected from the field agents with the best performance.
And each of them has a large number of state-of-the-art prosthetics implanted in their bodies.
Their strength may not be as good as Takemura Goro and Oda Sitafu, but at least they are equivalent to the youth version of Takemura.
A hundred Zhucun Youth Versions are guarding your home and asking you if you are afraid.
…
A certain room deep in the manor was dark and dark because the lights were not turned on.
Hanako Arasaka, dressed in white, stood in the center of the room. In front of her was the holographic projection of her own niece, Michiko Arasaka.
“Aunt Huazi.”
The holographic projection of Michiko Arasaka bowed slightly.
Arasaka Hanako nodded: “How is the reply from Military Technology?”
Michiko Arasaka in the holographic projection shook her head.
“President Rosalind Miles still doesn’t agree to directly send troops to eliminate Arasaka Yorinobu for us.”
Just like Arasaka Yorinobu is always thinking about how to deal with his sister and niece…
Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka are also thinking about how to get rid of Yorinobu Arasaka all the time.
In order to achieve this goal, they would not hesitate to cooperate with Arasaka’s long-standing enemy, military technology.
“Have you explained to her carefully that Arasaka Yorinobu does not represent the entire Arasaka Company, he only represents the Arasaka forces in Night City.”
“Of course I explained it, Auntie, but President Miles still has the same beautiful words. Hum, she said it nicely, but she just refused to implement it.”
“This female fox.”
Hanako Arasaka looked ugly.
The reply from President Miles that Michiko Arasaka brought told her that it was impossible to kill Yorinobu Arasaka with the help of military technology.
In fact, Hanako Arasaka had no intention of treating Rosalind Miles as a fool.
Of course she knew that the other party could probably guess that she wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
However, since Arasaka Yorinobu came up, Arasaka has violated the
An agreement reached with military technology to force more security forces into Night City.
And during this time, friction between Arasaka and Military Technology increased day by day.
It is obvious that Arasaka Yorinobu wants to create another war.
Once the war with Military Technology resumes, all factions within Arasaka will have to obey Arasaka Yorinobu’s orders, because if they don’t, they will be defeated by Military Technology.
Therefore, Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka have been working hard to prevent the war in addition to finding ways to bring down Yorinobu Arasaka for more than a year.
She originally thought that President Miles might be willing to help for the sake of preventing the war.
As a result, it now seems that Hanako Arasaka is overthinking.
President Miles would rather risk the outbreak of the fifth corporate war than assassinate Arasaka Yorinobu.
Not only did she see that Hanako Arasaka used a knife to kill people, but she also didn’t want to take the blame.
You know, Arasaka Yoriannounces now repeatedly blaming military technology for the death of Saburo Arasaka.
If Military Technology really assassinated Arasaka Yorinobu, wouldn’t that mean that the statement that “Military Technology also killed Arasaka Saburo” was confirmed?
If Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka continue to exploit the topic, the situation of military technology will become very passive.
President Miles is no fool.
She used military technology to secretly support Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka, not only to allow them to contain Yorinobu Arasaka, but also to keep Arasaka divided.
Military technology may not be able to completely defeat Arasaka head-on, but it can delay time.
The longer Arasaka remains divided, the more advantageous military technology becomes.
…
“Auntie, if we want to kill Arasaka Yorinobu, we can only rely on our own strength.” Now that there are no outsiders here, Arasaka Michiko doesn’t even bother to use the honorific and calls Arasaka Yorinobu by his first name. “Do you have any good ideas? ?”
In the expectant eyes of Michiko Arasaka, Hanako Arasaka shook her head.
Just like Arasaka Yorinobu can’t mobilize “Troy”, it’s the same as the security forces.
They also cannot command “Trojan” and security forces.
“Troy” only listens to the orders of the head of the family. The three of them can only be considered candidates for the head of the family at best and cannot be called “Troy”.
And the same goes for security forces.
They couldn’t blatantly send their men to assassinate Arasaka Yorinobu, because at least on the surface, they had to appear harmonious.
Although in the history of Japan, there are many examples of subordinates overcoming superiors, brothers and friends being respectful to each other, and fathers and sons killing each other, especially during the Warring States Period of Japan, which was loved by most Japanese people, the words loyalty and righteousness are worth more than gold.
However, that is the past tense after all.
During the Warring States Period in Japan, everyone did this, including figures like Saito Dozo and Tao Qingxian. They relied on cheating their masters to death so that they could rise to power.
Anyway, there is no noble class in Japan, and the so-called samurai class is just that. As long as your fists are strong enough, the samurai class with pure blood from a noble family will still be as obedient as a dog.
——For example, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who came from a grassroots background, after becoming the Crown Prince, he stamped his feet and the whole of Japan was shaken. The only Hojo family that dared to disobey was directly destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After that, no famous samurai family dared to fart.
If Toyotomi Hideyoshi hadn’t drifted away himself, the Toyotomi family might not have died for the second generation.
But that was during the Warring States Period, and times have long since changed.
If he continues to do things like father and son killing each other, brother and brother respecting each other, he will immediately be criticized by thousands of people and despised by thousands of people.
It is no exaggeration to say that although Hanako Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka hate Arasaka Yorinobu so much that they wish the other party would die tomorrow.
But they couldn’t do this with their own hands.
In other words, we can’t let others know that it was them who did it.
That’s why they thought of ways to let military technology do the work for them.
Otherwise, once they are charged with parricide, they will never be able to take the position of head of the Arasaka family.
Seeing that military technology was unreliable, Hanako Arasaka had to consider other backup options.
“Michiko, do you know of other reliable private military companies in the new United States?”
Michiko Arasaka is different from Hanako Arasaka.
Hanako Arasaka is like a caged bird, tied up in Japan and unable to leave even a step.
