Chapter 176 The ambitious man died because of his own conspiracy!
"Miles, the Metal War is over. No one will continue to work for your ambition to revive the New America. I am now officially notifying you that you are laid off."
Li Ang's voice was as calm and steady as usual, but to Miles, it sounded like a sudden thunderclap.
Although she had sensed that this day would come, what surprised Miles was that she didn't expect it to come so soon!
It had only been a few days, and the presidential throne that belonged to her was stolen away by someone. It turned out that there would never be a power vacuum, not even for a minute or a second!
At this moment, Miles tried his best to control his breathing rate, trying not to lose his composure because of anger.
She knew that she had become the number one loser, and it was not difficult for Miles to guess the identity of the person who won the presidency of the new United States.
It was definitely Harford who had been in close contact with her a few days ago!
If the person who took away her presidency was not the old congressmen in Washington, then it could only be the damned traitor Lucas Harford.
Being backstabbed one after another by his own confidants made Miles feel sad and angry.
She didn't understand why she trusted these people so much, but what they gave her in return was betrayal!
"Okay Mr. Li Ang, I'm going to resign."
Miles said this reluctantly, throwing the badge of honor he always wore on the ground, and couldn't help but scold Harford:
"That bastard Harford wants to take my position. He's really taking it for granted. It won't be long before he's so busy that he wants to hang himself!"
"When the time comes, I'll wait for him to beg me to come back."
Miles and Harford are both executives of a military technology company. Even if the presidency was taken away from her, she still believed that her next destination would be imprisonment.
The probability is that he is on some unknown island in Europe, being guarded by fully armed soldiers 24 hours a day, while he is enjoying the peaceful time and ends his life there.
After all, she is the president of the new America. Even if she steps down, she should not be tried and executed like a war criminal.
However, Miles greatly underestimated the cruelty of this power change in the upper echelons. Li Ang, who has Chinese blood, inherited a very fine tradition, which is to cut the grass and root it out!
All the New American political figures who had close ties with Miles Rosalind, including her family members, were now being slaughtered and assassinated by LA Company and FIA agents.
Without exception!
And how could Miles himself stay unscathed and escape this bloodbath in the circle of power?
Seeing that Miles didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem and was still holding on to hope, Li Ang didn't say any more nonsense to him.
He simply turned off the video conversation with Miles and notified the team of agents to take action.
Immediately, the electronic screen in front of Miles went out, just as she was about to stretch out her hands and accept the reality that she was about to be imprisoned.
The leading special agent captain suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it straight into Miles' heart. Faced with this unexpected scene, Miles' eyes were full of disbelief.
She couldn't believe that these people dared to kill her!
“You guys…!”
The moment the dagger pierced his body, Miles felt weak all over.
She could only watch helplessly as the dagger pierced into her heart slowly drained away her vitality as the agent twisted it.
In her final moments, Miles used the last bit of strength she had left in her body to remove the tactical mask of the agent in front of her.
"It's you! Meredith..."
When Miles saw that the person who was about to stab him was Meredith Stout, the head of operations at Militech, he realized how wrong he was.
From New America to military technology, and then to the CIA, all have been infiltrated by LA Company and become Leon's backyard. Everything she has done is wishful thinking and in vain!
Li Ang was the mastermind behind the entire war.
"Go on your way with peace of mind, Mr. President."
Meredith's tone was as cold as a robot. She had no good feelings towards her former boss, so she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for killing Miles personally.
As Meredith finished her words, she suddenly pulled out the dagger that had been inserted into Miles' heart, and blood mixed with broken flesh and some sophisticated prosthetic parts splashed out.
Miles, with her great ambition and the ideal of reviving the new America, went to destruction along with the demise of her life.
Pfft!
Miles fell helplessly in the ruined room of the unfinished building. After confirming that Miles had lost vital signs, Meredith did not forget to shoot him a few more times.
In order to ensure the completion of the mission and make sure Miles died, Meredith emptied the entire magazine of the assault rifle.
Meredith felt extremely happy when she saw that the once powerful and arrogant new American President Miles was now shot to the point where even his own mother could not recognize him.
"Report, the target person is dead!"
……
……
Taiping Island, Dog Town, Bao Shi Qing.
At this moment, V, who was exhausted, and Reed and Alex, who had just woken up from a coma, were squatting in the sewer of the Sapphire Blue Hotel to rest.
In the dark and stuffy sewer, there were only the heavy breathing sounds of three people. They were trying to recover their strength as quickly as possible.
And hide here temporarily to avoid the out-of-control mechanical devices outside.
Under the control of Song Zhaomei's Black Wall Protocol, the entire Dog Town was in chaos. If they walked out rashly, they would be instantly killed by the concentrated fire of those drones and robots.
"Li De, Alex, can you two hold on?"
At this time, V turned his head and looked at the two people behind him who were depressed and confused.
Not long ago, V carried the two unconscious guys alone and escaped from the Bao Shiqing warehouse to this secret sewer.
It can be said that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Thanks to the possessed Song Zhaomei, who used the black wall invasion to create such a machine riot, V was not targeted by the Nether Dog soldiers.
Otherwise, it would be too much for V to handle those crazy Hellhound soldiers alone.
Not to mention rescuing the unconscious Reed and Alex, he himself might not be able to escape.
"Thank you, V."
Li De coughed violently twice, which slightly relieved the discomfort in his lungs.
"You saved Alex's and my life, and we owe you that."
After saying that, Li De held onto the wall of the sewer and slowly stood up from the ground.
It has to be said that Song Zhaomei's black wall electromagnetic attack almost took his life. Until now, Li De still feels pain all over his body, as if his bones were broken.
"Xiao Song is now controlled by the black wall. I'm afraid we can't take her away." Li De's brows were furrowed again. He missed the best opportunity to take Song Zhaomei away. Now if he wants to catch her again, he is afraid he can't do anything.
When Li De thought of this, he regretted it deeply. If he had known earlier, he should have asked Alex to increase the destructive intensity of the ice-breaking program, so that Song Zhaomei would not have lost control.
Now her entire body has been infected by the black wall. I'm afraid it won't be long before Song Zhaomei can't even save her own life!
"So what are you going to do next?"
V looked at the listless Reed and Alex. He didn't think that the two of them could continue to complete the task assigned to them by Miles.
It's time to tell Li De the latest situation!
"Oh, what else can we do? If we don't bring Song Zhaomei back, Li De, me, and you will not be able to escape Miles's punishment."
"Being a clerk in the CIA is like being a dog, but the treatment we get as agents is worse than even the stray dogs on the street!"
Alex leaned against the dirty sewage wall and couldn't help yelling, "I know Miles, that stinky bitch, very well."
"If you have done a good deed, she will reward you with a few useless medals and a few thousand Euros, and then coax you to continue working for her. If you dare to refuse her, then wait for your beating!"
Alex got so angry when it came to President Miles. She had been lurking in Dogtown and was even planning to join the LA company.
But a telegram from Miles pulled her and Reed out to work for her again. But Reed, who was not smart enough, was determined to die for Miles!
No matter how she tried to persuade Li De, he just couldn't get it over with.
"Alex, that's enough."
Reed scolded Alex who was chattering incessantly and told her to stop speaking rudely to the president. After all, they were CIA agents, and it was not a good habit to insult the president behind his back.
If this happened outside and was heard by other CIA agents, Alex would be forced to be put in solitary confinement for two months.
Solitary confinement may seem ordinary, but this punishment is an extremely cruel form of mental torture for anyone.
Being locked up in a dark, small space for a long time can easily lead to mental disorders and self-harm tendencies.
"V, I've thought it through. We still have to rescue Song Zhaomei first. As for who she belongs to, I don't want to care anymore."
Reed shook his head and sighed. He was really tired. Even if he went back with nothing and accepted Miles' severe punishment, he would accept it.
After rescuing Song Zhaomei, V can take her wherever he wants, whether it is to the LA company or to the Intelligence Bureau. In short, Li De doesn't want to get involved anymore.
"Li De, I have to tell you something very important. This is what Mr. Li Ang told me personally. I don't know if this is good news or bad news for you."
Seeing Reed's depressed expression, V wanted to tell him the news that President Miles had died, but he was worried that Reed could not bear such a blow.
When a dog's owner dies, the one who is probably the most sad is a loyal dog like Li De.
"Come on, what good news can there be now? Unless that bitch Miles dies, we can all be free and put an end to it once and for all!"
Alex continued to curse.
Anyway, there are only three of them here, she can curse however she wants, and no one can control her.
"Uh! Alex, although I don't know if you have any divination ability, but you did guess what I was going to say just now."
V's words left Alex a little confused. In her confused and surprised eyes, every word V said next shocked her heart.
"Miles is dead. She died in the Dogtown mechanical riot. The CIA agent team has brought her body back to Washington for burial."
"Your and Li De's mission will no longer count, because even if you bring Song Zhaomei back to the Joint Intelligence Bureau, you won't get any benefit at all."
"Besides, your identities are very sensitive. The information belonging to you in the Joint Intelligence Bureau has long been cancelled by Miles."
"Even if you want to go back, I'm sorry, there is no such person. You two are just black households with unknown origins to the CIA."
"The only people who know your true identity now are the dead Miles and the crazy Song Zhaomei."
V's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Reed and Alex speechless. They could only stand there in a daze. Their brains seemed to have crashed and they were unable to react.
"V, is Miles really dead? You're not making up fake news to fool us!"
Alex shook his head, obviously not daring to believe the news easily. How could a cunning man like Miles die in such a careless machine riot?
How could those clumsy robots possibly catch up with Miles!
What's more, if Miles really encountered any emergency, he would definitely send them a message for help, but Alex and Reed did not receive any information.
"If you don't believe it, just send a message or call Miles and see if she responds to you."
V was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He was only responsible for telling the facts. As for whether Reed and Alex believed it or not, he didn't care.
Immediately, Alex and Reed called Miles separately, but the result they got was no one answered the call without exception.
Obviously, something really happened to Miles!
At this moment, Alex's long-suppressed negative emotions were finally released. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Great! Li De, we finally don't have to endure the threats from that tyrant anymore!"
Alex couldn't help but cheering with joy, but she didn't dare make too much noise for fear of attracting nearby robots or drones.
V was expecting Alex's excitement, but what V didn't expect was that when he learned that Miles was dead, Reed's reaction was surprisingly calm.
I don’t know whether he doesn’t believe the truth of this matter or he can’t accept such a cruel fact for the time being.
"V, did Mr. Leon tell you anything else?"
Even Reed's calm reaction seemed unreal to himself, but this was indeed his state of mind at the moment. Miles' death did not seem to mean anything.
Even if the president dies, the war will continue and nothing will change.
"Also..."
V lowered his head and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Now the New America's troops have already withdrawn from Night City, including the entire Western Theater, which is carrying out a large-scale withdrawal operation."
"This is an order personally issued by Lucas Harford, the new president of the New America. It cannot be false."
"Therefore, North America will most likely return to its previous state. Except for the large eastern region belonging to the New America, the rest will all be free states."
"Li De, this metal war is over!"
