Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Night City, Arasaka Tower.

Six years ago, this world-class tower was rebuilt on the nuclear ruins.

It stands opposite the military science and technology building, as if reappearing the shadow of the past.

In front of Tang Yu, Xiao Michiko seemed to have other intentions when mentioning the past events between the two.

Her tone was calm and she spoke frankly to Tang Yu.

"I once thought about returning to the Kyoto mansion. After all, that is the core of the Arasaka family."

"But today's Arasaka family can no longer sit in a corner, dreaming of a return to its former glory."

"We must face the enemy more realistically and face the enemy squarely."

Tang Yu felt even more strange when he heard Xiao Michiko's "confession".

The implication is that she already sees herself as the hope of reviving her family.

There seems to be some dissatisfaction with Arasaka Hanako and Arasaka Yorinobu, who live in Kyoto.

Tang Yu couldn't completely tell whether Michiko's words were true or false, but he was certain that her strength was no match for other Arasaka family members.

Relying on the card of mediating military technology to gain a higher status within the family is obviously not a good idea.

The conflict between Arasaka and military technology is irreconcilable, and its main businesses such as military industry, arms and security determine its fundamental interests.

The market cake can no longer be expanded, and only by cannibalizing each other's share can we continue to grow and develop.

In today's fierce competition, whoever stays put will be stepped on.

Once the conflict breaks out again between the two giant companies, Michiko's role and status will cease to exist.

and.

The Arasaka family still has a trump card, and it is by no means as dangerous as Michiko says.

Tang Yu remained silent, guessing a lot about little Michiko's thoughts, waiting for her to continue her one-man show.

Little Michiko didn't seem to care about Tang Yu's silence and continued to talk as if talking to herself.

"After that nuclear explosion, it turned out that there were no winners."

"Although we found evidence that military technology was secretly supporting nuclear terrorist activities"

"But the development of things did not set off a wave of opposition to military technology as we expected. Instead, it created a stronger opportunity for the other party."

"The rulers of New America, taking advantage of the impact of the nuclear explosion, forced the nationalization of military technology."

"After the highly centralized integration of government and enterprises, military science and technology is no longer just a military industrial enterprise, but a real military-industrial complex."

"Power, resources, money, technology, armed forces and other forces are highly concentrated and developed and integrated to form today's behemoth"

"This behemoth has emerged from the ashes of the Fourth Corporate War and has grown into the most terrifying unipolar force in the world."

"Arasaka is not ready to fight with him again."

That’s it.

Tang Yu had some doubts about Michiko, whether she already knew about the transaction last night.

The Arasaka Elite Team killed Caitlin and reached an agreement with military technology Meredith Stout to help him conceal the truth about killing the Arasaka Team.

If the truth of this matter is exposed, I am afraid that the entire Arasaka Tower will be in an uproar.

Not only Michiko Arasaka's tolerance and dealing with military technology over the years, but also all her efforts have been in vain.

It will also allow Yorinobu Arasaka to seize the opportunity and even visit Night City in person to launch a frontal attack on military technology.

Even if a major war does not break out, small-scale conflicts will definitely become more frequent and intense.

just in case.

Tang Yu was accused of secretly colluding with the director of military science and technology special operations, which could not be solved by firing him.

Think about this.

Tang Yu decided to stabilize little Michiko first, it was not time to apply oil on the soles of her feet yet.

Since little Michiko is testing, he can also express his position first and test her.

"I work in the counterintelligence department. At least in the intelligence department, I still know the internal situation of the company very well."

"Military technology is always increasing its efforts to penetrate our intelligence."

"The Whirlpool Gang's attack on the special service team is definitely inseparable from the support of military technology."

"This is enough to show that military technology is superior in intelligence channels and has even penetrated into some departments, so we have to guard against it."

Little Michiko frowned slightly. She naturally knew this. Someone on the board of directors was already talking about military technology.

Tang Yu didn't mind giving Susan Abernathy some eye drops first, and then changed the subject.

"Six years ago, in order to return to Night City and fight against the metal war launched by military technology, Arasaka even brought an aircraft carrier to sit in."

"This gives Arasaka the opportunity to return to Night City. Currently, his footing is not stable. If an open conflict breaks out with military technology, it will only make Arasaka passive in the Americas."

"I think this is what Arasaka doesn't want to see."

When Tang Yu saw that little Michiko didn't respond, he knew that she was still waiting for him to make a further statement.

He had no choice but to continue: "To be honest, I had a detailed understanding of the board of directors today."

“Many directors are very dissatisfied with Military Technology, believing that they are supporting the Whirlpool Gang behind the scenes, and demand countermeasures against Military Technology.”

"The call for countermeasures is too loud, and suppressing it forcefully will only make things more difficult."

"So certain measures need to be taken to achieve the purpose of countermeasures without causing open conflicts."

“In this way, we can balance the left and right and achieve a satisfactory result for both parties.”

Tang Yu did not say clearly that the most difficult thing to handle in the whole matter was Michiko Arasaka herself.

Once the counterattack goes too far, military technology will be angered.

The other party has found backers, the elite politicians of New America, to suppress you, Michiko Arasaka.

What's more, many of the military technology executives themselves serve at the top levels of New America.

When the time comes, little Michiko will be attacked from both sides and will fall into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Back then, Michiko Arasaka visited many politicians and executives in order to retain her U.S. citizenship.

She has finally achieved today's results with great difficulty, but once she disappoints Saburo Arasaka who is far away in Kyoto, she will lose everything.

Michiko Arasaka finally relented, seemingly satisfied with Tang Yu's answer, and turned the aperture of her prosthetic eyes to send commands.

On the empty silver floor, a square brick collapsed, then rose again, lifting out a chair and placing it in front of the conference table.

"sit down"

After finishing speaking, Michiko Arasaka walked to the desk and sat on her desk.

After standing for a while, Tang Yu walked closer and sat on the seat opposite Michiko.

Little Michiko tapped her fingertips on the conference table, and all kinds of image data immediately floated out, all about military technology, including the latest developments and some plans.

"I will open these high-level permissions regarding military science and technology information to you."

"After today's appointment order is generated, you need to find a suitable entry point as soon as possible and come up with a satisfactory task result. You can control the specific details yourself."

"This matter is only reported to me. After the task is completed, it will be discussed by the board of directors."

"Mr. Tang, who is double deputy minister, do you understand?"
