Chapter 51 Let’s get to work, guys!
"Very good, Miles! You are worthy of being my chosen successor." Kress smiled with satisfaction. She admired Miles' spirit of being willing to sacrifice his life for the country.
"Miles, when you go to the LA company, you can't just sit and watch the TV news. You must try to win over Leon, no matter what means you use!"
Donald Lundy looked at Miles's rather good temperament as a young mature woman and her agile figure, and said, "When necessary, you can also take unconventional measures."
"In short, use your brain and think more."
"I see."
Miles nodded. Before coming here, she had integrated all the resources that Military Technology could currently mobilize. Whether it was land, factories, or company shares, all of them could be used as bargaining chips.
Elizabeth Kress immediately understood Donald's sexual suggestion from his eyes and words. This guy actually dared to set his sights on Miles!
What a fucking asshole.
"Miles, if we really can't come to an agreement, don't force yourself. We have many other partners to choose from. There's no need to stick with the LA company."
After saying that, Kress did not forget to glare at Donald, which was a warning to the other party to get rid of the evil thoughts in his mind as soon as possible. How could the successor of the new America bow down to others?
Donald Lundy shrugged. As a hawkish CEO of Military Technology, his life creed was to devote everything he had to the company, even at the cost of his body!
If the LA company's executives didn't mind him, Donald would even offer his ass without hesitation.
"Please rest assured, Mr. President. I will get things done cleanly and efficiently." Miles said solemnly. She was obviously unaware of the mental confrontation between the two people in front of her.
"Myers, when you sit in my position in the future, you will feel the feeling of being helpless, so you must learn to bend and stretch. Being stubborn will only break your own way out."
Kress spoke in a haggard voice. She recalled how heroic she was in the past, but now she was bruised and battered by countless problems.
It took too much energy, time and money for too many people to rebuild this country from its former glory. Kress didn't want all this to go to waste.
The New America needs the support of a powerful military-industrial complex, but today's military technology is declining and even going bankrupt.
If they fail to obtain the AI Soul Killer and attract the support of investors, all their previous efforts will be in vain!
The ideal of making NUSA great again would be a castle in the air, and Kress would never allow himself to sit back and watch such a thing happen.
"You must learn to ruthlessly use all available resources and connections. A mature politician must be ruthless, even if it means being two-faced. As long as it is for the new America, it is worth it!"
Kress's words were like a machine, deeply imprinted in Miles' mind. The political qualities she learned from Kress included these basic qualities!
"Don't worry, Mr. President. I will remember it."
Seeing Miles's determined eyes as always, Kress smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Good kid, go ahead. The people from LA company will be here soon."
"Sir, please take care of yourself!"
Miles shook Kress's wrinkled, veiny old hand behind his back, then stood up and followed Donald out of the room.
Outside the high-rise building of the company's headquarters, LA's latest model of hovercraft, the [Reyfield Holy Sword], was speeding across the cloudy sky and finally slowly descending onto the empty rooftop.
Seeing this, Donald Lundy had a complicated expression, his eyes were full of envy and jealousy, while Miles was full of shock. It was no wonder that the trauma team canceled the military technology hovercraft rental contract, after all, LA's hovercraft products were at least 50 years ahead of theirs!
"Myers, you feel the pressure from the president now, don't you? She has to deal with countless forces every day. Some of them she has to try every means to win over and please, while others she has to attack and destroy ruthlessly."
Donald put his hands in his pockets, staring at the hovercraft not far away with his sharp eyes like a hawk.
"Now LA is the most important contributor to our military technology, and you have to find ways to turn it into a part of military technology."
"Let LA companies also be deeply tied to the interests of New America, just like military technology. No one can do without the other!"
The strong wind on the rooftop of the building made Rosalind Miles squint her eyes. For the future of the company and the country, she had to convince the new king of Watson District in Night City - Leon!
……
……
Arasaka Tower, the municipal center of Night City.
Johnny Silverhand was strumming his electric guitar with all his might, and using a sound system that was nearly enough to shatter glass, he was playing heavy metal rock music that rocked the entire audience.
Soon, the rock boys passing by, instigated by Johnny, began throwing red smoke bombs at the guards stationed in front of the gate of Arasaka Tower.
The crowd in front of the square began to become restless, and the Arasaka guards violently drove them away.
Johnny took his Alpha members and rushed into the Arasaka Tower from the back door while the chaos was going on. They took the elevator directly to the computer room of Arasaka's headquarters!
"Johnny, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Li Ang, the director of the LA company. Why don't you see his people coming to help you?"
In the elevator, the person who spoke was Santiago, one of the leaders of the Adecado Gang. He and his Timberwolves team also joined the rescue operation.
The Adecado Gang can be considered a standard wanderer family gang with many branches, and Santiago is just the boss of one of them.
"Morgan Blackhand is the helper that Mr. Leon has found. With him here, this operation will not fail. Asking you to come is just to buy an extra insurance."
Johnny Silver said without turning his head. If he wasn't afraid that the atmosphere would be too awkward, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this pretentious guy who loved wearing black sunglasses.
"Okay, we have to be careful and try to attract as much firepower as possible to the members of Team Omega to give them time to install the bomb!"
Roger rubbed his hands together and gripped the pistol tightly. This might be the biggest battle she had ever fought in her life. Just thinking about riding on Arasaka's head and shitting made her feel damn good.
"I hope Morgan Blackhand and the others can move faster and not take half the time to install the bomb." Johnny stretched his neck, ready to join the battle at any time.
The Omega team mentioned by Roger is composed of Morgan Blackhand, Shayidonai, and some elite teams with military technology.
Like Morgan Blackhand, Shayidono is also one of Night City's legendary mercenaries. The level of his prosthetic transformation is comparable to that of Arasaka's ace mercenary Adam Hammer, and his strength should not be underestimated.
"Guys, get to work!"
