Chapter 69 Power Armor Competition!
Just as Leon was planning how to make good use of these resources, Rosalind Miles, the President of New America, called him with an encrypted holographic call.

[Mr. Li Ang, how are you? You seem very happy. Did something good happen to you?]

Ever since Elizabeth Kress died from the attack of the AI ​​Soul Killer, with the full cooperation of LA Company, the strong woman Miles quickly rectified the chaos with a tough attitude.

Today, she is both a senior executive of a military technology company and the new president of NUSA. She can be said to be the most powerful woman in America.

"Overall, it's pretty good. How about you? Mr. President, it must be very difficult to deal with the executives of military technology companies and the old guys in Congress at the same time."

Among so many powerful people, Miles is one of the few tough guys recognized by Leon. This old woman's political tactics are quite tough and decisive, and she can be regarded as a leader of revival.

But this is useless when facing Li Ang who has cheats.

[It's not easy. I called you this time not to catch up with you. You have to help me do something important, something very important!]

Miles's personality was as straightforward as ever. Before she had even chatted with Li Ang, she went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit.

"Are Arasaka's agents using the AI ​​Soul Killer to cause trouble for you again? If so, I can provide you with an AI network firewall to prevent Xiao Beidou's plan from failing."

Li Ang spoke.

Although he knew that Military Technology was secretly implementing the Little Beidou project, Li Ang was not clear about the specific progress of the project because it was Military Technology's first company project.

Even though Li Angzun was a major shareholder of Military Technology, he had no right to know the details of this project, but he was too lazy to do so.

After all, the roving AI that can be captured by military technology is definitely not comparable to LA's AI Red and White Queen.

[Thank you for your concern, but the help I want is not about AI technical requirements, but power armor! ]

From Miles' tone, Leon could tell that the other party had a strong desire, as if he couldn't wait to ask Leon to take out this treasure.

"Power armor?... Why, our company doesn't have enough power armor?" Li Ang asked back.

In fact, the military technology giant LA's template also includes military equipment such as power armor. Although there are not many types, they are definitely enough.

In addition, among the shareholders within the military technology company, there is also a small company that specializes in manufacturing power armor, and that is the Meta Group!
The Meta Group is a military-industrial company formed by a group of vagrants who were retired American veterans. Their area of ​​expertise is power armor devices.

Moreover, their technical level is almost the same as the current LA company's power armor, and it can even be said that the two are on par with each other.

This is normal, because the source of the power armor technology in LA company's military technology template is the Meta Group!
[Victoria Meta told me that your LA company's power armor devices are highly similar to theirs, and I suspect you used AI spies to steal their power armor data.]

When Miles said this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead, looking very troubled and helpless.

Victoria is the granddaughter of Jonathan, the founder of Meta Group. She is about the same age as her and is also an elite lady in her thirties.

The relationship between Miles and Victoria can be described as that of close friends.

The two had similar backgrounds and were both senior executives of a military technology company, so it was natural for them to become friends. But Victoria Mehta inherited her grandfather's personality, with a stubborn and violent temper, the kind that even ten bulls could not pull back.

Since she suspected that Leon had stolen the information about Meta Group's power armor devices, he must be planning a serious arms race!
"Mr. President, this is completely nonsense. This is Ms. Victoria's slander against me. Who says that power armor devices cannot be similar? We have a lot of good things in LA Company. There is no need to steal them."

Leon responded shamelessly and without any psychological burden, saying that even if he really stole the power armor data of Meta Group with the help of AI, Victoria would be unable to do anything to him.

Who made the Meta Group only have this one technological point? Compared with the LA company which has many industries under its umbrella, Victoria Meta has to swallow her anger even if she doesn't want to accept it.

[Le Ang, of course I believe that you will not steal Meta Group's data, but the current orders for power armor for military technology are basically controlled by you two.

Now several states in the eastern part of New America are causing trouble under the instigation of the Arasaka Corporation and the Cubans. I must form a commando team with powerful enough power armor to deal with those traitors! 】

Miles' tone was very passionate, and her every move revealed the strong demeanor of a superior. The purpose of her call was obvious.

LA Company must compete with Meta Group for the power armor arms order!

Sure enough, before Leon could speak, Rosalind Miles confessed the situation to Leon:

[Leon, from now on, New America's power armor orders belong to only one company, either you or Victoria Meta.]

After hearing this, Li Ang was thoughtful.

The current New America is indeed unable to launch large-scale wars. Small-scale operations using targeted blasting, mainly by power armor teams, are more in line with Miles' actual needs.

After all, in a local battlefield, a power armor soldier can face an entire cyber squad of the enemy alone, and it is no problem for one to beat ten!

But Li Ang does not think that Miles prompted the two companies to compete for orders just to quell the rebellion.

"This old woman has ulterior motives!"

Li Ang had already guessed Miles's real purpose. She said that the two companies were competing for orders, but in fact she was planning to clean out the internal executives of Military Technology.

Originally, LA Company and Meta Group were doing well in terms of power armor orders, and they did not interfere with each other.

As a result, Victoria Mehta suddenly had nothing to do and decided to cause trouble for Leon. No one would believe that there was no one behind this.

Most likely, Miles was deliberately causing trouble.

If LA wins the competition for orders from internal shareholders of Military Technology, Meta Group will be kicked out by Miles and the corresponding shares of the company will be taken back.

With LA's advanced power armor, the rebels in the eastern part of New America will be suppressed, and Miles will complete the mission of suppressing the rebellion.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
If Meta Group wins, LA will lose the order for power armor devices, and Miles will support Meta Group to fight against Leon!
No matter what the outcome of this competition is, President Miles, as a trader, will never lose. This is the means and consciousness of a top politician.
