Chapter 50 New America! Loyalty!
"Lucy, it's okay, maybe you're just worried too much." Rebecca came to Lucy's side, held her hand and comforted her.
Dolio also stretched out her big hands and hugged Lucy, saying: "Don't worry, Lucy, with Mr. Leon and everyone here, we will be safe no matter what happens!"
Qi Wei stood aside with her hands folded expressionlessly, she was already accustomed to facing terrible emergencies, no matter how bad it was, it was nothing more than death.
"hope so."
Lucy's eyes showed deep uneasiness.
Leon saw this scene clearly. He knew that nothing could happen without signs. Since Lucy had a bad premonition, he had to be prepared in advance.
Whether for his own safety or for the safety of this Mann team, Leon must be extremely cautious!
"From today on, everyone stay at the company headquarters and don't go out until this matter with Johnny is over." Li Ang gave the order.
After he finished speaking, Leon looked at the system panel of the AI Red Queen. It was time for him to recall his secret weapon and give the whole audience a little AI shock!
……
……
New America, Military Technology Headquarters, Washington DC.
"Damn the trauma team, damn Nadia La, damn these treacherous Europeans!"
Donald Lundy angrily smashed a holographic electronic screen to pieces. Just three minutes ago, he received a message from the trauma team headquarters:
[From today on, the Trauma Team will terminate its cooperation with Military Technology in the rental of hovercraft! 】
As the CEO of a military technology company, Donald certainly knew the proportion of hovercraft leasing in the company's financial revenue. Without the funds for this business, the company's situation would become even more embarrassing.
The harassment of Arasaka Corporation and the strong rise of LA Corporation have had an immeasurable impact on the weapons products of military technology.
The current revenue situation of Military Technology is not optimistic. If they don’t adjust quickly, they will have to borrow money from the New American Congress to maintain the company’s operations!
"Fuck! Damn it!"
Donald Lundy certainly knew the real reason behind the Trauma Team's unilateral tearing up of the contract agreement, which was that the Trauma Team had found a new buyer.
And the next buyer is the LA company!
"Where on earth did this guy named Leon come from? His weapons, hovercrafts, and prosthetic devices are selling like hot cakes in Night City. Even Nadia La is a fan of his products!"
"He's a Chinese guy. How can such a big weapons manufacturer come out of that place? Fuck it!"
Donald covered his forehead and sighed, they had been fighting with Arasaka Corporation for several years and almost emptied the company, and now a deadly competitor appeared, what a point of fighting.
Strictly speaking, a military technology company is actually more like a military-industrial complex group.
The company has many industrial fields, including automobiles, mercenary companies, weapons manufacturing, prosthetic devices and other types.
It is precisely because of this that Donald Lundy has to take care of the interests of multiple shareholders and make Military Technology sell a large number of arms orders every year to ensure the company's normal profitability. However, in recent years, Military Technology has performed poorly in the war with Arasaka, causing many shareholders in the company to withdraw their investment, and even being poached by Arasaka.
The current military technology is in a difficult quagmire period, and a new project is urgently needed to support the company's turnaround from loss to profit, and the AI Soul Killer is the key they have chosen!
"We've received news from the LA company. Their president, Li Ang, specifically asked Miles to be a hostage before they would lend us Morgan Black Hand."
The white elite woman sitting opposite Donald spoke in a calm tone. She was the President of the New America, Elizabeth Kress!
"LA Company may be the AI power behind the black wall. The hackers we sent to steal data last time had their brains fried by their AI firewall."
Kress held a cigarette between her fingers, her furrowed brows formed the Chinese character "川". Sitting in the position of president, she was under a lot of pressure.
Born into a military family and as one of the top executives in military technology, Kress has deeply bound the common interests of New America and military technology together.
Rather than saying that NUSA is an independent country, it is better to say that it is the corporate property of military technology. After all, the president of NUSA is basically selected from the top military technology executives.
But the terrible thing now is that military technology is going downhill, which means that the new America that they have built with great difficulty is very likely to collapse and split again!
"The AI on the other side of the black wall... well, this is a bit troublesome." Donald Lundy rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice.
In fact, in the cyber world, there are already many giant companies that have captured AI outside the black wall and controlled it for their own use. This is almost an open secret within major companies.
But if the company's hackers encounter powerful AI, they will be helpless. At this time, they either have to spend a lot of money to hire Internet monitoring people to deal with it, or cooperate to allow both sides to coexist.
For example, Yeshi Company and AI Mr. Blue Eyes have such a cooperative symbiotic relationship.
"We have to talk to LA Company. It would be best if we could get some weapons and equipment production licenses from them. Otherwise, they will destroy our pillars sooner or later!"
Kress took a deep puff of her cigarette and exhaled a thick puff of green smoke in frustration. Whenever she was under a lot of pressure, she would always smoke a few cigarettes.
"If we can win over the LA company, that would be the best. After all, those shareholders who took advantage of the situation have all run away, and now the company is left with only us and those old guys."
Donald smiled bitterly and said that if he had known that military technology would come to this point, he should not have fought Arasaka Corporation head-on to the point of death.
The old man Saburo Arasaka has a huge business, and his company's industries and workspaces are spread all over the world. How can military technology challenge him?
Just as Cress and Donald were discussing their next plan, a heroic and capable company executive walked in. She was Rosalind Miles, the second-in-command of military technology!
"Myers, you're just in time."
Kress asked Miles to sit down. Seeing her best friend who had the same ideals and aspirations as herself always made her feel much better.
Rosalind Miles and Cress come from the same military family background and have similar educational levels, so they both have a strong desire to revitalize the new America.
"Mr. President, Mr. Donald, I already know the LA company's plan. They are going to use me as a hostage to exchange for Morgan Black Hand. I am willing to obey the arrangement."
Miles's eyes were shrewd and sharp, flashing her absolute loyalty to military technology and NUSA.
