Chapter 41 Military Technology
"Mr. Li Ang, your idea is really wonderful. I support you 100%!"
Lucius immediately stood up excitedly, held Leon's hand and said excitedly:
"I can't say anything about other districts in Night City, but in Watson District, I promise to have all the police officers go to the LA company for joint training!"
"That's good, we have a deal."
Lucius agreed more readily than Leon had imagined, which made him very satisfied and happier.
But this is normal. After all, this decision is in line with the interests of both parties!
Ordinary police officers in the NCPD are short of money. If they want to live a better life, they either have to associate with street guys or do some hard part-time jobs.
Over time, the police in their NCPD bureau have become meaningless, and the only department that can really do things is the Terrorist Squad!
But now, the emergence of Li Ang has changed this phenomenon.
At this moment, the more Lucius looked at Leon, the more satisfied he felt. If he had known that LA Company was so powerful, he really should have visited them in person earlier.
Judging from the current voting data, Lucius' election as the new mayor of Night City is almost certain. He will unlock more power and implement his own policies.
The only drawback is that after Lucius is elected mayor, he will no longer have the power to control the NCPD in Watson District, even though he was once their boss.
But the LA company came to cut off the source of funds and marked Watson's NCPD bureau as "LA company".
Then Lucius could also gain some control over the police department through Leon's connections. Although the authority might not be much, it was better than having nothing.
This is equivalent to directly bypassing the legislative restrictions of the City Hall and expanding one's own power through the power of the company!
All Lucius needs to do is to build a good relationship with Leon and form a firm alliance of interests.
As for whether the next director of Watson NCPD will protest this decision, it is none of his business.
But even if there is a protest, it will be useless. After all, the police who have tasted the sweetness will not care about the protest of their supervisors. If they dare to cut off their financial resources, then they will arrange an "accident"!
"I can manage Watson District in an orderly manner, but Wilton may not be able to do that!" Lucius was secretly delighted.
Lucius couldn't help laughing when he thought about how Wilton Holt was still troubled by Johnny Silverhand in Haywood District and was helpless about it, while he was about to reach the top in one step.
"Mr. Li Ang, it's always such a pleasure to work with you! We should keep in touch with each other."
After saying that, Lucius asked Detective River to give the Cyber Doberman to Leon. Leon smiled with satisfaction as he touched this expensive luxury animal.
He knew that this cyber-biological dog was custom-made by a biotechnology company for the rich and powerful, and that it cost an average of 50 Euros to make one.
A more expensive gift could easily reach millions of Euros. The reason why Lucius gave such a precious gift was just to let Leon see his determination.
"Yes, Mr. Congressman, we should keep in touch."
Leon was holding the leash of his Doberman, just like an invisible rope extended by the LA company, quietly strangling Lucius, the most powerful person in Watson.
"I wish you a promotion and prosperity. Then we can work together to build this beautiful Night City and make progress together."
"Okay! Okay!"
Amidst the laughter and joy in Watson's NCPD station, members of the Triad gang, armed with live ammunition, and thugs from the Whirlpool Gang, have launched a campaign to wipe out other underground forces in Watson.
The doors and windows of the Lizzie Bar were closed, and it was dull and colorless. The neon lights and holographic signs were also silent, waiting for the arrival of the dark night of death under the lead-gray sky.
From this moment on, stray dogs that do not have "LA Company" engraved on their dog tags will be driven out of the Watson District.
The only people who stay in this city are legal residents, business people, and people from LA companies! …
……
Downtown, The Empathy Club.
[I will rise up, and all the company dogs will be terrified! You can't get rid of me, because you need to use a keyboard to find me! I will never stop, and walk on the road of rebellion...! ]
The members of the Samurai band in the center of the stage were bombarding the ears of the audience below with their latest popular heavy metal rock album "Intubation", which aroused their disgust towards the company.
The explosive melody of the music made the blood of the audience boil like water heated by an induction cooker. They vented and screamed to their heart’s content until they died.
When the song was over, Johnny Silverhand ignored the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, dropped the microphone and went back to the backstage lounge, where he spent a long time affectionately with a beautiful girl.
The other band members outside the lounge were knocking on the door frantically and shouting the word "scumbag", but Johnny Silverhand remained oblivious to it and just immersed himself in his own gentle pleasure.
But before long, Johnny heard a loud, piercing blast from a shotgun, followed by the panicked screams of the crowd.
"What's going on? Which blind street kid dares to cause trouble on my territory!"
Johnny Silverhand immediately drew his gun and pulled up his pants, pushing away the sexy beauty in front of him. But before he could pick up his [Maloryan] kinetic pistol, the iron door of the lounge was kicked open.
"grass!"
Before Johnny could react, a dozen fully armed mercenaries surrounded him. Leading them was a tall, blonde female executive who looked extremely capable.
"Hello, Johnny Silverhand, my name is Meredith Stout, and I'm the head of operations for Militech!"
Meredith, wearing a dark leather uniform and with a cold and defiant look, looked down at Johnny Silverhand arrogantly and said.
"I need your cooperation now. Please cooperate with us."
Seeing the other party's arrogant look, Johnny Silverhand really wanted to raise his gun immediately, pull the trigger and shoot the bitch.
But with more than a dozen guns pointed at his head, he had to restrain himself and try his best to endure the female supervisor spewing shit at him.
"What if I say no?" Johnny looked at Meredith fearlessly and asked back.
"Haha, you have no right to refuse."
Meredith was still arrogant, staring at Johnny Silverhand with an arrogant look: "This is a mission issued by President Elizabeth Kress herself, and as a member of the New America, you must..."
Before Meredith could finish her words, Johnny knocked over the mercenary next to him with lightning speed and put the pistol to his forehead.
"Fuck the new president of the United States! I don't care. You want me to work for that old woman? No way!"
Johnny entered the American military before he reached adulthood, but those years of military service were an endless nightmare for him.
In his opinion, those bastards in the U.S. Congress were bastards who used empty slogans to drive young people to be cannon fodder on the battlefield. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the worst of beasts.
