The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 351 Knight died six years later and sought cooperation
"Boss, this is the budget for the police station in Night City this year, please have a look."

Xie Yuan, who was wearing an iron mask, took the tablet IPad from the hand of the charming secretary, and slowly studied the above information.

The little secretary didn't say anything, but quietly waited for Xie Yuan's verdict.

While Xie Yuan looked at the data on the IPad, he also sent the data to the security experts of Xiatuguo, Arasaka, and Military Technology through the camera installed in the iron mask.

Regarding the budget, there is nothing like the extremely rolled-up Xia Turen who can squeeze it as much as possible. Xie Yuan doesn't mind spending money, but he doesn't like to see his money being wasted.

Three or ten minutes later, Xie Yuan made a decision after going through the plan formulated by Xiatu, Arasaka, and military technology and security experts, and after analyzing the details of the crime rate in the past year through AI and summarizing it on the screen in front of him.

Soon, he made notes and resolutions on all aspects that should be increased, decreased, and canceled. Then, after calculating the total amount, he prepared a spare fund of 200 million euros, signed his own electronic monogram, and handed it over to the little secret.

"Let our director general go to the foundation to pay the money based on this budget."

Xiao Mi glanced at the general content of the tablet and covered her mouth with a chuckle: "He will definitely feel very uncomfortable watching it."

"Uncomfortable is not the reason for him to set up projects indiscriminately to earn money from his own house, and I have given him enough benefits."

Xie Yuan thought for a while, then took the tablet IPad and canceled a cross, and then clicked a check: "This year, let him work hard at this job until he retires, and live a comfortable retirement life.

Just do it. "

"One more thing, boss," the little secretary bowed and asked Xie Yuan, "The star you follow, Johnny Yinshou, seems to have a concert tonight. Do you need to attend it?"

"Johnny is back?" A flash of nostalgia flashed in Xie Yuan's eyes under the iron face, but he shook his head immediately, "I will continue to work overtime in the office tonight, and I won't be present, but send me flowers from fans Bar."

"Yes, boss." The secretary picked up the IPad, then turned around and left the office with a watery waist.

Xie Yuan just stood up, looked at the towering commercial buildings outside, and sighed helplessly: "I didn't expect that the good Colorado City would eventually become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den like Gotham.

Night City, hum, Knight, your wish is wishful thinking after all. "

It is 2013 at the moment, sitting on the top of the tall gear building, Xie Yuan looks at the densely packed crowds of people beneath the technological prosperity of Night City... I don’t know, how many people will die today?
……

20 years ago, Knight presided over the establishment of the city of Colorado, which was completed in May of the following year. Knight attracted the investment of many large enterprises through generous tax incentives, thereby promoting economic development and providing future citizens (company employees) ) has laid a solid foundation.

Well planned, this fledgling city of Coronado is truly a spectacle.Thanks to careful planning, the city is well built, loving and safe.

You must know that at that time, other places in Yingjiang were already in dire straits. After the fact that the Four Bureau Gang manipulated the world's securities trends broke out in 94, the news became public and led to the outbreak of the world financial crisis.

This event was later collectively referred to by historians as the "Great Crash."The municipal governments of many cities were weakened by the collapse of the world stock market, and finally collapsed or went bankrupt due to the impact of massive unemployment, homelessness and serious corruption.The federal government, riddled with staggering deficits and the machinations of the Gang of Four, is completely useless.

At the beginning of the second half of 96, the President and Vice President of the United States were assassinated respectively.The president pro tempore of the Senate also refused to become president while the speaker of the House of Representatives is undergoing heart bypass surgery.Defense Secretary Jonathan Seward, currently the top official in the federal executive branch, announced the temporary abrogation of the Constitution and the declaration of martial law. The "Four Bureaus" (NSA Bureau, IAA Bureau, FIB Bureau, and DEA Bureau) have obtained nearly maximum autonomy within the US federal government.

chaos!Although Xie Yuan made a lot of money this year because of the help of the four rounds, Xie Yuan still had to say this.

But the military is not without a fightback: The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff created MIC (Military Intelligence Cooperative) to deal with the massive duplication among the nine U.S. military intelligence agencies.But the Gang of Four believed that the military's move showed that their conspiracy had been uncovered, and began to carry out sabotage activities by delaying or concealing important information.

It can be said that the only thing that does not have much influence economically and politically is the new alliance with a sound industrial level, and Xiatu, who adjusts policies and concentrates on building rural areas.

In 97, most of the Middle East was destroyed in a strictly controlled thermonuclear war.The radioactive fallout spread across the world, halving the world's crude oil production.

Immediately after the man-made disaster, there were violent natural disasters—floods broke out in Xiatu and Europe. Fortunately, Xiatu united as one to defend the catastrophic flood. Europe was not so lucky, and a large area was directly submerged, including Hamburg.

Eurasia enjoyed floods, while Yingjiang encountered severe drought.

The severe drought that occurred in 98 turned most of the Midwest into a dry grassland.Under the combined pressure of the AgriBusiness Corps and drought, family farms have all but disappeared.American food exports stopped.

So you can imagine how enjoyable it is to have a paradise that represents stability, food and safety.

It's a pity that Murphy's Law states that when the world situation is not good, a Colorado city cannot be partial.

On the night of No. 20 in September, Xie Yuan, who had just finished handling company affairs at home, suddenly heard a "bang" gunshot. After listening casually, Xie Yuan could only shake his head in the direction of the gunshot, with a solemn expression .

As the old saying goes, a hero’s life is short. No matter how good Knight’s work is, he still can’t let go of some insistence. When using his own advanced construction technology and materials, he rejected some existing trade unions and construction companies. — many of which are controlled by well-organized criminal groups.

Xie Yuan, as Knight's potential rival, once hinted very slightly that Knight had crossed the line, but unfortunately he didn't listen to it.

And the gunshot just now was the death knell for him to meet his death.

Knight's death has nothing to do with Xie Yuan. To be honest, his method of buying land is too shameless, and there is a gang of enhanced people in Moro Bay that should have been wiped out immediately. It would be very magnanimous not to kill him.

However, Knight's death is also bad. The leaders of several major gangs brought the city of Coronado under the control of the gang and renamed the city "Night" in honor of Richard Knight. special)" city.

Crime, drugs, prostitution, random violence, and cyberterrorism quickly superseded the law when gangsters came to power.By outsourcing projects to gangs, dealing drugs and extortion, and recruiting the scum of the badlands to their cause, the gang has successfully turned a clean, modern city into a smoldering battlefield.

In the first year after Knight's death, Mirian, who had recovered from the pain of losing her husband, couldn't stand her husband's ideals being ruined like this.

Night International is the Night City Public Foundation established by Mirian with a huge sum of money under this circumstance. The company's main purpose is to protect and realize Richard's vision of a perfect city.

But Night International is not an established company after all, and there is no secret accumulation and manpower, how to calm down the chaos?Night International, which has no accumulation, began to ask for help from the big companies that invested in Night City at the beginning, hoping to help them return Night City to the rule of law.

However, in this matter, the forces fighting against the thug gang, the mainstream organization that is raging in the city, come from the vassals of large companies-they need these gangs to do their dirty work, and they are using it!How could it be possible to eliminate them?
And this is also a lesson given by big companies to punish Richard Knight for not abiding by the rules among giant companies after he took power.

Mirian, who had put a cold ass on her hot face, should have calmed down, but sometimes you have to admire a woman who is crazy about her lover.

She directly sought help from Metal Gear Company, which was also stationed in Night City and gradually progressed to the end of the echelon of large companies-you must know that Metal Gear Company has always been at odds with Knight.

The public did not understand the reason for the dispute between the two parties, and thought it was a failure to compete for public construction rights. However, Knight once told her in private that the real conflict between the two parties was the "Morobe Massacre" that occurred in 92.

Many people in Metal Gear used to be residents of Morro Bay, because Knight happened to appear at the time when the land price in Morro Bay plummeted due to the massacre, and all the people in Metal Gear Company agreed that Knight was instigated.

But what happened, Knight just said the next sentence, "The matter is a done deal, and there is no way to pursue the details."

However, an important reason for finding Metal Gear to come forward is that, unlike other companies like EBM, Arasaka Group, and Petra Petrochemical, Metal Gear's headquarters building is in Night City!
As the only local company with military power and a senior background, despite all the conflicts and grievances, it is the only one Mirian can turn to for help.

Just one thing, the boss of the Metal Gear Company, John Iron Face, is an extremely reclusive guy, and he is extremely afraid of death!

No one has ever seen him commute to and from work, but he will definitely be in the office when he is on and off work; when he goes out to meet clients, he starts by driving. The meeting was held in a dark room with the curtains down—it is said that the curtains have special coatings that can prevent prying eyes from thermal imaging.

Appearing in front of the world, he must be wearing a black iron mask, and his voice is also hoarse—it has been modified, as if he is not afraid of someone specially impersonating him.

It is indeed very difficult to find him, and it is best not to be known to outsiders when the top executives of two big companies meet.

But fortunately, when her late husband Knight was still there, he once made a secret cooperation plan between the two local forces—unfortunately, Xie Yuan said later that "I used to love you and ignore me, but today I you can't afford it" as an excuse. You refused... After all, Xie Yuan wanted to invest in Night City, but Knight rejected it outright.

But at this moment, at that moment, Knight had too many choices around him at that time, but now he has none, so he can only find the reason why John's lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

Fortunately, Knight had a secret meeting with John back then, and the place was set up in an ordinary residential building, where people were not allowed to live in the upper, lower, left, and right sides to prevent eavesdropping.

Mirian came to this special residential building alone, endured the nausea, and covered the lampshade outside the guardrail with a piece of red cloth that had been placed nearby for an unknown amount of time.

Then he picked up the key to open the door, turned on the light, sat on the tea table, and waited quietly... I don't know if I came here today, right?

"Pfft!" Suddenly the light went out, and the tea room was plunged into darkness.

"Hmm..." Mirian bit her finger violently, suppressed the horror in her heart, got up and turned on the light.

"Crack!" The light was turned on again, and the room was bright again, and then Mirian suddenly heard the sound of water pouring from behind!
"Grumpy"

Mirian turned around stiffly, and saw a man in a suit and a black iron mask sitting opposite the seat she had just been sitting on, picked up a pot of hot water, and made a cup of tea.

The teacup was moved to Mirian, and Iron Face stretched out his hand to invite: "Mrs. Knight, have a cup of hot tea. I hope you can express your condolences to Mr. Knight."

Speaking of sad things, Mirian bowed her head in pain again.
