Start in Night City - #409 - Chapter 409

Even if Meredith tipped off Military Technology, what would happen?

Don’t forget, she is in Night City now, not in the capital, Washington.

She was originally far away from the power center of military technology. Even if she made a meritorious service this time, how much would the higher-ups value her?

Just because of this, you want to enter the inner circle? how can that be possible.

Meredith himself obviously knew this.

If her background in military technology had not been revealed, she would have been transferred to the capital, Washington, a long time ago based on her skills.

“Even if you are right, what’s the use? The world is as dark as crows. Which company is not like this?”

“At least in Bolivia right now, it’s the fittest that wins. If you’re doing a good job, Minister

It won’t be your end. “

…

An hour later, Su Xiao left the military science and technology building with satisfaction.

After coming out of the Military Technology Building, he went straight to the Arasaka Beach.

At the port of Arasaka Beach, there is a huge ship parked.

A blockade was set up all the way near the port, strictly prohibiting ordinary people from approaching.

Su Xiao showed the pass to the Arasaka soldiers standing around the blockade, and then entered the port without any obstruction and boarded one of the giant ships.

On the deck of the giant ship, Thor, Mitch, Scorpion, Panan, V, Lucy, Mann and others were discussing around a map. When they saw Su Xiao coming up, they all came over to greet him: “Boss ,How about it?”

“Let the brothers move and move things down. It’s time for us to appear.”

At the same time, an encrypted communication was sent from the Military Science and Technology Building to the capital Washington.

The content of the encrypted communication is: Arasaka’s follow-up troops have been determined and are still marching along Canada. Arasaka has no other allies. Texas and the western states remain neutral. Organizationally, please rest assured.

Chapter 346: Here they come (4K)

After the capital Washington received the encrypted communication from Night City, it did not doubt the content of the encrypted communication.

Neither President Miles nor the generals of Military Technology felt that Meredith had a reason to betray.

Because even if she defected to Arasaka, Arasaka Yorinobu would not give her a higher status and treatment than those in military technology.

Even if you look at Westerners, there are quite a few examples of surrendering during wars.

But that doesn’t mean surrender isn’t a shame.

It’s just that in Western people’s perception, if you reach the point where you run out of ammunition and food, there is no need to fight anymore.

Anyway, if you continue to fight, you will lose your life in vain. It is better to surrender and then find a chance to escape from the prisoner of war camp.

As long as there is life left, there will always be a time when it can be useful.

In the final analysis, surrender is only a move that Westerners will make when they have no choice but to do so.

As for defecting to another company, that option is even less rational.

Arasaka and Military Technology should not be simply regarded as companies, they are actually no different from countries.

If it was just a company and a normal job-hopping, then there was no need for Herman to be secretive when leaving Arasaka, for fear that Arasaka would know his whereabouts.

Some people may say that he has Arasaka’s top secret information and all information about Relic, so Arasaka cannot let him go.

But doesn’t this further confirm that Arasaka and Military Technology are not countries but companies.

After all, there is a country that has done this kind of thing.

Moreover, Arasaka Yorinobu is Japanese.

Basically, Asian countries believe that surrender and betrayal are shameful.

People who change careers will eventually be disliked by their new colleagues after arriving in a new place, no matter what the reasons are.

Meredith might be able to save his life if he surrendered, but he would definitely not get much treatment.

After the value is used up, there is a high probability that it will be kicked away.

Meredith himself doesn’t understand this.

Therefore, President Miles and the generals all believed that Meredith would not defect to Arasaka.

In addition, the current collapse of the frontline war situation did not allow them to have enough time to consider whether the content of the encrypted communication sent by Meredith was true or not.

Because Arasaka came too fast and too fiercely.

Arasaka’s target of attack was Ogdensburg, New York.

Ogdensburg is located in New York State, in the northern part of the New United States, adjacent to Ottawa, Canada.

If Arasaka breaks through Ogdensburg, then Arasaka’s army can go all the way south, not only taking over the northeastern part of the new United States, but also going straight to the capital, Washington.

It is not impossible for President Miles and the generals to leave by plane before the enemy troops arrive and go abroad to establish a government in exile.

However, if all the New United States is captured, military technology will definitely suffer a big blow, and the brand weight will fall to the point where it is inferior to even medium-sized companies such as Hi-Tech Military Industry.

Therefore, now that the encrypted communication sent from Meredith has confirmed that Arasaka’s follow-up troops will still take the Canadian railway, President Miles and the generals no longer have any hesitation.

Immediately dispatch Wisconsin troops north to cut off Arasaka’s railway from Vancouver, Canada to Ottawa.

After the railway is cut off, it will not only block the transportation and supplies of Arasaka’s troops, but also block Arasaka’s subsequent reinforcements.

The Michigan troops also moved north, but their task was not to cooperate with the Wisconsin troops, but to follow the railroad eastward and go around to attack the back of Arasaka’s leading troops.

Finally, the troops from Ohio rushed to the front line of New York State to support the New York State troops and defend Ogdensburg.

As a result, two days passed, and Ogdensburg had already fallen before reinforcements from Ohio arrived at Ogdensburg.

The New York State troops were defeated by Arasaka’s vanguard and fled in all directions.

Arasaka’s vanguard did not march across the mountains and plains to capture New York State

The deserters from the army did not stop and wait for subsequent reinforcements. Instead, they plunged straight into the capital, Washington, like a sharp knife.

Unexpectedly, Arasaka’s vanguard troops were so capable of fighting. President Miles and the generals were still a little panicked.

However, only a little bit.

Not particularly panicked.

Okay, no big problem.

Because they already know that Arasaka’s reinforcements are taking the railway from Vancouver, Canada to Ottawa, and they have also mobilized troops to intercept Arasaka’s reinforcements.

Now Arasaka has no reserve team.

Then the troops they left in Oklahoma and Louisiana no longer need to stay there and can be transferred to defend the capital Washington.

Although Ohio troops had been sent there before, this Arasaka’s vanguard was a bit fierce.

President Miles didn’t dare to bet on whether he could block it.

If we can’t stop it and the enemy comes to the capital, it will be very embarrassing.

In the history of the United States, there has been a humiliating history of being attacked by the enemy in the capital and setting fire to the White House.

Of course, since the United States later entered the world stage, it has never experienced such a dilemma.

Therefore, of course, if possible, you still want to try to avoid such a situation.

If the White House is burned down again, military technology and the face of the new America will be completely lost.

In fact, President Miles and the generals couldn’t figure out why Arasaka Yorinobu was so reckless.

You must know that during the Fourth Corporate War, a thermal weapon war like this has reached the third stage.

Moreover, the battlefields of their conflicts were all overseas, not decisive battles at home.

The last new president of the United States and Arasaka Yorinobu’s father Saburo fought the fourth corporate war in this way.

How could there be someone like Arasaka Yorinobu who simply gave up all the Arasaka territory overseas, gathered all the troops, and then sent them over in one go?

There was no temptation, no mercenaries were hired to attack, and it was a formal war from the very beginning. Wouldn’t Arasaka Yorinobu want to destroy the earth?

Although it was impossible to fathom what Arasaka Yorinobu was thinking, good news came from the front line soon after.

The Ohio State troops and the dispersed New York State troops united and actually resisted the attack of Arasaka’s leading troops.

And Arasaka’s reinforcements, as Meredith’s intelligence said, came all the way from the railroad and were stopped by Wisconsin troops.

However, the troops in Michigan disobeyed the orders issued by the Pentagon and did not attack Arasaka’s vanguard troops. Instead, they joined forces in Wisconsin to jointly block Arasaka’s reinforcements.

Although the commander of the Michigan troops made arbitrary decisions and disobeyed orders.

But President Miles and the generals, considering that Arasaka’s vanguard has now been stopped, plus blocking Arasaka’s reinforcements, is indeed very important.

Therefore, after thinking again and again, I chose not to pursue the matter.

Although Arasaka’s Thunderous Operation shocked military technology at the beginning, the offensive of Arasaka’s vanguard has now been blocked.

Although the Ohio troops and the remnants of New York State alone were not enough to eat up Arasaka’s vanguard.

But don’t forget, after receiving the encrypted communication from Meredith, he mobilized heavy troops from Oklahoma and Louisiana.

Once these two troops arrive and double-team them, Arasaka’s leading troops will surely be gone.

President Miles seemed to have seen the scene where Arasaka Yorinobu was so angry that his face turned green.

Now it seems that burning the White House is impossible.

Not only has the situation turned dangerous, but it has also become a situation where military technology has the upper hand.

Therefore, everyone is in a very happy mood.

One of the generals even said with a smile.

“This group of Japanese have never turned a corner in the past two thousand years of fighting. I have studied their history. The hero they most admired by the Japanese is called Sanada Nobushige, also known as Sanada Yukimura. When he died in the end, he rushed into the war. The enemy is dead.”

Another general also said: “It’s a pity that Arasaka Yorinobu is not Sanada Nobushige and will not be in this vanguard force.”

If Arasaka Yorinobu dies, Arasaka will collapse instantly and this battle will not have to be fought.

But I can only think about it.

Modern war is not ancient war. Even in this era, the war is fought like World War II, but its nature is completely different from ancient war.

In ancient wars, emperors or kings fought in person.

But in modern warfare, there will never be a situation where a president, or a company CEO, moves with the troops.

Because the risks of modern war and the possibility of accidents are simply too high.

If something goes wrong, it will be GG.

Moreover, even in ancient times, it was definitely not a wise choice to go on a personal expedition.

Unless the emperor himself experienced countless fierce battles and fought hard all the way before he became emperor.

Otherwise, it would be better for an emperor who has been in the palace compound since birth, such as the Mingbao Sect, to avoid ruining a good situation.

Just when there was laughter and joy in the Pentagon, a piece of bad news came like a bolt from the blue.

Texas, which claimed to be on the side of neutrality, suddenly launched an attack on the new United States.

an army

Straight into Oklahoma.

Like a whirlwind, moving through Arkansas.

Just as the news spread, it had already entered the territory of Tennessee.

Their target, without a doubt, is Washington, the capital.

President Miles and the generals, who had been chatting and laughing just now, were all stunned.

Didn’t it mean that Arasaka’s army used Canadian railways?

How could they come from Texas?

Moreover, from Night City to Texas, you have to pass through the western states.

If it was Arasaka’s army, why didn’t Meredith, who stayed in Night City, report it?

Did she betray military technology?

But this shouldn’t be the case.
