Chapter 157 The most powerful giant company on earth!
After saying that, Miles handed over the red wine in his hand. Li Ang took the glass of wine, but was not in a hurry to drink it.

He looked at Myers with a smile and replied: "No, Mr. President, this is our historic moment."

"Without your strong support, LA Company would not be where it is today. I sincerely wish you an early unification and the restoration of the new America."

Li Ang was not just being polite to Miles. He was really grateful to Miles for insisting on transferring the money to the LA company's account despite the opposition of Washington congressmen.

If this were not the case, Li Ang would not be able to guarantee that he would be able to accumulate so many enterprise coins and draw so many task rewards.

The rapid rise of LA Corporation is inseparable from Miles, a fanatical war criminal and ambitious politician.

"Mr. Leon, it is our New America's good fortune that you think this way. From now on, we must continue to maintain close cooperation, as always!"

Miles was so happy that he couldn't help but drink the glass of red wine in his hand.

The recovery of lost territory in eastern North America and the rapid westward advance of the army allowed Miles' voice in Congress in Washington to soar.

Miles, who is extremely powerful, no longer needs to act according to the wishes of those congressmen. Her rapidly expanding self-confidence has given her more strategic goals.

Her first step is to continue to win over Li Ang from the LA company!
The only three corporate groups that can be considered giants in the world today are the European Community, Su Petrochemical, and the LA Corporation which has just replaced Arasaka.

The European Community is a large group composed of several companies with monopoly-level strength in high-tech fields.

Companies such as Orbital Aviation, Trauma Team, International Electric, and Network Monitoring are their core members.

What is surprising is that the European Community in this world is incredibly united, with almost no division or independence.

When these united European companies come together, they become the most comprehensive and powerful corporate giant on the planet!

Sinopec is a giant state-level company spanning the Eurasian continent, which controls the most land and ocean areas in the world.

It controls abundant resources such as oil, minerals, mountains, rivers, etc., so Su Petrochemical can be called the number one resource giant!

As for LA Corporation, as a military-industrial giant with the strongest combat power on the earth, this company controls the top war technology forces.

Previously, some people doubted whether Kangtao would be LA's only rival, but with the emergence of polymer devices, everyone understood it very clearly.

The King of Weapons from Little Chinatown is still the invincible King of Weapons!

No one can shake Leon's position in the arms field, not even if Arasaka and Konto Company join forces.

It is precisely because of this that Miles is more determined to continue to win over Leon. She must make LA's military factories run at full capacity for the new America!
Even though Congress can no longer feed this wolf, she has to drive the beast to continue working for her own grand cause.

"Since we have cooperated so many times, I will not hide anything from you this time."

Miles smiled slightly, and then directly told Leon:
"After the Metal War is over, I plan to separate Night City and make it the private property of your LA company."

"Even if it's just a simple reward for the great contributions LA has made to the New America!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ang couldn't help but smile. He shook his head, thinking that Miles was really generous enough to actually think of giving him the assets of Ye's Company.

I guess only a shameless and shrewd politician like Miles can be so generous to others with a clear conscience.

Everyone in the world knows that Night City is the private property of the Ye Company. Now Miles is openly trampling on the American Constitution. I don’t know if she is getting carried away or deliberately framing the LA company.

However, this also indirectly shows that Miles has gone to great lengths to gain the support of the LA company.

She was even willing to let Li Ang establish a country within a country belonging to LA Company on her unified territory.

Seeing Leon smiling and shaking his head, Miles thought that the other party did not meet such conditions, so she added:

"Of course, a small Night City is not enough to reflect the outstanding contributions that LA companies have made to the new America. I think even a state is not enough!"

When Miles said this, she was already telling Leon that giving California, where Night City is located, to the LA company was the limit of what she could give.

If Li Ang still wants to go further and try to get more, she will never accept it!
As a shrewd and stingy politician, Miles originally did not intend to use land as a bargaining chip, but this was the only thing she could offer now.

After all, almost all the money in the treasury has gone into the account of the LA company. Even if Miles wants to continue to transfer money to Leon, he will have to collect taxes after some time.

If I send money to the LA company again, I will have to pay taxes until eighty years later!

If the civilians are squeezed into poverty, then Miles will have no choice but to cut down on other companies.

But doing so is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

"Mr. President, thank you for your support to LA Company." Leon did not politely reject Miles' gift, nor did he greedily express his desire for more. He simply responded with some ambiguous nonsense.

But this made Miles a little confused about Leon's true thoughts. You don't want Night City, and you don't want California, so what do you want?

But before Miles could continue to speak and test Leon's inner thoughts, Leon asked first:

"Mr. President, after your troops advance to the western battlefield, what are you going to do next?"

"Should we stop fighting temporarily and observe the situation, or should we continue to advance with all our strength?"

The reason why Li Ang asked this was that he wanted to know more about Miles's background.

If Miles intends to use fighting to promote talks, then she is most likely colluding with the European consortium, and perhaps the war will be put on hold.

But if Miles wants to move forward as quickly as possible and complete the unification task earlier, it means that Miles has indeed been squeezed almost to the limit by the LA company.

If this Metal War continues to drag on like this, it will only be able to advance in a year or two, but the rebels will definitely be stronger by then than they are now.

Miles must be very clear about the principle of taking advantage of his weakness to kill him.

"Of course, keep moving forward!"

Miles' tone was decisive. She did not deliberately conceal any information. The party that now has the upper hand is New America, and the most correct decision is to strike while the iron is hot.

"However, when my troops arrive in Night City, I will deliberately stay in the sky above Night City and send fighter planes to drop pamphlets to persuade them to surrender."

"In addition, I will mobilize all media forces to create some psychological pressure on companies in Night City and force them to leave Night City on their own initiative."

"Without the company's security forces, Night City will most likely surrender without a fight. They can't possibly let street boys fight on the battlefield, right?"

When talking about this murderous plan, Miles did not forget to stare at Li Ang deeply, and then she continued with a smile:

"Mr. Leon, I heard that Mayor Lucius Lane is your friend. Can you help me persuade him?"

"If he surrenders earlier, I can let him continue to be the mayor of Night City. Otherwise, I can't persuade those rude agents of the CIA to do something outrageous."

Miles' words were full of temptations. She had heard that the people in Night City's City Hall were all lackeys of the LA company.

Lucius Lane, in particular, had already colluded with Leon when he was the local supervisor in Watson District, which made Miles wonder whether Leon also wanted to participate in politics.

Facing Miles's probing, Li Ang just smiled and responded, "Mr. President, I'm just an ordinary businessman."

"Except for the people from LA Company, I have no right to interfere with anyone's decision-making. I don't know whether Mayor Lucius will surrender, and I can't control him."

"I just do business, that's all."

Hearing Li Ang's almost perfect answer, Miles smiled with satisfaction. This was the answer she wanted to hear. People have to find their own position.

Miles was afraid that Leon was not focused on doing business and wanted to get involved in the Congress of the New America, get involved in politics, and seize her ruling position.

In her imagination, the best state of coexistence between New America and LA Company is for them to do business and engage in arms business with peace of mind.

The other is to firmly grasp the supreme power. As long as the two complement each other, the new America will be great again!
"Mr. Leon, I like dealing with smart people like you. As long as we can work together, I can assure you that it won't be long before even the European Community won't be our opponent!"

Miles still habitually painted a rosy picture for Leon, but Leon simply treated his words as nonsense.

What politicians and bitches say is worthless and has no credibility at all.

However, from Miles' passionate tone, Leon detected a deeper meaning. He always felt that Miles' plan might be far more than just unifying the North American continent.

Maybe Miles has other plans!
"Mr. President, the EC guys are not that easy to deal with. They can even tie a guard dog to your door."

"I heard that your agents from the United Nations Intelligence Agency have been bitten by this dog recently."

The watchdog that Li Ang was referring to was naturally the Cuban Cartel, a large criminal organization.

Their Aguilar killer team has been causing a lot of trouble for the CIA during this period.

Even many senior executives of military technology companies were assassinated by Aguilar!
