Chapter 279 President Miles, you don't want to either.
Rosalind Miles' response surprised everyone.

Although this Iron Lady has always held this view, she should at least consider Arasaka Yorinobu's current emotional issues, right?
His father just died, and you responded so directly and sharply, even naming his father and mocking him, as if the New America won the last time.
This isn't even a response, it's like directly declaring war on Arasaka!

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we try to resolve the issue through communication first? Why does it feel like Rosalind Miles is deliberately fanning the flames?
Her response directly trapped Arasaka Yorinobu. Now even if Arasaka Yorinobu wanted to regret it, he absolutely could not do so.

Because this would make Arasaka lose face and his own prestige would be gone. As long as Arasaka Yorinobu still wanted to continue to control Arasaka, he absolutely could not retreat at this time.

"This Miles is not a pushover either."

Ke Ling was not surprised by this. Rosalind Myers was ambitious. The new American president had never been honest since she took office. Just look at what she had done after taking office and it was clear.

This guy has been preparing for war all the time, like a war maniac, determined to take back all of America's legal territories.

Such a hawkish figure would naturally not be liked by the surrounding forces, especially for the people of Night City. Rosalind is truly hateful. Who made this guy always want to unify the United States and actually launched an aggressive war against Night City?
Rosalind's response naturally received a lot of criticism in Night City. Arasaka was not a good person, but Rosalind Miles was definitely not a good person either! When will Night City be able to get rid of these bastards and become truly independent? !
"She wants to take advantage of our unstable footing to start a war? She wants to start a war while we are in civil strife?"

Arasaka Yorinobu felt that he almost saw through Rosalind Miles's thoughts. It was normal to have such thoughts. After all, no outsider knew the real situation inside Arasaka.

Saburo Arasaka died suddenly, and the issue of succession within Arasaka has always been unsettled. It is normal for a war of succession to occur. From an outsider's perspective, this is reasonable.

There can't be anyone who isn't interested in controlling Arasaka, can there? No way? No way?

However, there really is such a person, Arasaka Hanako, who really has no idea of ​​controlling the power of Arasaka.

Otherwise, she would not have "resurrected" Saburo Arasaka after defeating Yorinobu Arasaka. A normal person would not do such a thing. Only Hanako Arasaka, the "family hero", could do such a thing.

Therefore, before the death of Saburo Arasaka points to Arasaka Yorinobu, Arasaka Hanako will not only not be an enemy of Arasaka Yorinobu, but will also cooperate with Arasaka Yorinobu to help him control Arasaka and hand over her supporters and the power in her hands.

Needless to say, this was definitely something Rosalind Miles had not expected.

Hanako Arasaka is quite mysterious in the world, and outsiders know very little about her, so it is normal to make such a wrong judgment.

The result of the power struggle is in line with people's cognition, but the people of the Arasaka family have never played by the rules. They focus on taking people by surprise. They are all talented, which is completely inconsistent with the mainstream of this world. They always do things that make people stunned.

"Someone from Militech has contacted me."

Michiko Arasaka's words basically confirmed Yorinobu Arasaka's guess that military technology and the new America were indeed planning this.

It is normal to contact Michiko Arasaka. The eldest granddaughter of the Arasaka family has always been involved with Military Technology. The two sides have many conflicts of interest. In other words, Military Technology has been threatening Michiko Arasaka's previous betrayal and asking her to work for Military Technology.

“How to respond to them?”

Michiko Arasaka looked at Ke Ling. Now she naturally didn't have to worry about those threats anymore. It all depended on how Ke Ling planned to arrange it.

"How about taking advantage of this opportunity to capture Rosalind Miles? Let her join us?"

Before Ke Ling could speak, Arasaka Yorinobu spoke first. In his opinion, this was obviously the most cost-effective option.

Moreover, if this goal is really achieved, if Rosalind Miles is really turned into one of their own, then they can also fight a tacit war, throw in the thorns on both sides, and let them be exhausted in the war.

"We need to be able to see her first."

Ke Ling did not resist this proposal. Although Rosalind Miles was also an ambitious person, she was definitely inferior to Saburo Arasaka.

Moreover, what Rosalind Miles wants is actually much less than Saburo Arasaka. At least at this stage, her vision is not as big as Saburo Arasaka, so she can still try to control it. This guy's character is not so stubborn that he will fight to the death immediately.

But this matter is indeed very difficult to implement. Not everyone can see Rosalind Miles. The fact that she has survived safely until now means that her security and itinerary confidentiality are naturally not bad, and this has stood the test of time.

Because in past wars, the success rate of decapitation operations was astonishingly high, and the benefits and returns they brought were also astonishingly high.

Therefore, decapitation operations have almost become the mainstream of war for a period of time. Many of the world's top companies have been beheaded. From the top leaders to the main executives, almost everyone is in danger, which has led to the current situation.

The times have completely changed. Now all kinds of security and confidentiality measures are in full swing. Decapitation operations are difficult to succeed. If the most trusted people around you do not betray you, the enemy cannot even find the target of the mission. It is difficult to assassinate someone because of the mix of true and false, false and true.

And right next to Rosalind Miles, there happened to be such a traitor, a traitor who was always thinking about escaping and regaining her freedom, and she was always waiting for an opportunity.

"Lark" Song Zhaomei, a new type of "nuclear deterrence", a man-made bomb, a man-made bomb for special attack on the "city wall". This "city wall" is not a wall that exists in reality, but a "city wall" that exists on the virtual network.

The "Black Wall" is a cyber wall built by humans and AI to defend against the runaway AI outside the wall. If the "Black Wall" is blown up, the entire network will face a catastrophe, and all networked devices will become carriers of AI.

The purpose of Song Zhaomei's existence is to blow up the "black wall" and let the AI ​​outside the wall in. This is a real deterrent weapon. If used, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

At that time, it will be a real intelligent machine crisis, and it can be said that all of humanity will be destroyed together and face the crisis of world destruction together.

"That bastard Miles is so brave!"

After hearing the information provided by Ke Ling, both Arasaka Yorinobu and Arasaka Michiko were dumbfounded. They did not expect Rosalind Miles to be so reckless. She actually came up with this kind of "Heaven and Earth Live Together" operation. This is simply dancing in the minefield of "Internet Monitoring" and making an enemy of all mankind!

Although it may sound a bit harsh, all the major companies are definitely eyeing the wealth outside the firewall and the "black wall", but at most they are like Arasaka, sending some "mining girls" to dig for treasure outside the firewall. There are absolutely few people who dare to do "black wall" with evil intentions, and even fewer who can avoid being discovered by "network monitoring". Not everyone is a voodoo gang, who wants to be a traitor and want to ascend to cyberspace. Most people have a protective attitude towards the "black wall" and do not want the "black wall" to be destroyed by evil forces.

"If this matter were to be exposed, Rosalind Miles would be humiliated. Not to mention running for president, she might not even be able to serve her current term."

Michiko Arasaka spoke up. To be honest, she was the one who least wanted Rosalind Miles to join. After all, who wanted to be a colleague with someone who had threatened them before? And it might be a long-term colleague.

"Why not use this as an excuse to ask her out? Michiko, it looks like I'm still relying on you."

Ke Ling smiled and handed the task to Michiko Arasaka. Although it could be seen that Michiko Arasaka was a little resistant, it was obvious that Michiko Arasaka was the most suitable candidate.

The things that have always been entangled with "New America" ​​and "military technology" have become Michiko Arasaka's advantage at this time.

As the one being controlled, she has now grasped Rosalind Miles' weakness and wants to turn the tables, wanting Rosalind Miles to lend her a hand and help her seize power in Arasaka. This seems very reasonable, and since it is so important, it is of course better to have a face-to-face interview.

"How can you feel at ease if you don't meet and talk in person?"

Arasaka Yorinobu interjected, obviously very satisfied with the current arrangement. He felt that there was a great possibility that Rosalind Miles would accept the meeting request. Whether she really intended to agree to Arasaka Michiko's request or intended to get rid of Arasaka Michiko, it would definitely be more convenient to meet her.

"Oh~Okay, I'll go."

Michiko Arasaka sighed. There was nothing she could do. Ke Ling had already spoken. How could she refuse Ke Ling's arrangement?
Of course, this did not prevent her from feeling unhappy, but she changed her mind and realized that she was in charge of supervision, and it would not be easy to find trouble for Rosalind Miles in the future. That girl had better not make any mistakes, otherwise she would definitely not let her go.

Before the person was caught, Michiko Arasaka had already thought about how to take revenge. It can only be said that past grudges are indeed not so easy to resolve.

Maybe time can dilute everything, but in the short term, Michiko Arasaka and Rosalind Miles will definitely still not get along.

In the next few days, Arasaka Yorinobu took control of Arasaka step by step. With the support of Arasaka Michiko and Arasaka Hanako, the progress was very fast and the power was quickly integrated.

He has also been vigorously investigating the "Arasaka Saburo Murder Case", pointing the finger at New America and military technology. This is the explanation given to Arasaka Hanako, and Arasaka Hanako also rushed from Tokyo to Night City. This ultimate otaku who has always stayed at home is going on such a long journey for the first time, but she would rather be confined at home.

"The body has been cremated?!"

The tone of Arasaka Hanako's voice was a little high, which was rare for her who had always been silent and soft-spoken. But there was nothing she could do. This result was indeed a little beyond her expectations. Her father's body was cremated without even notifying her? !

"Brother! What the hell is going on?!"

Even the usually good-tempered Arasaka Hanako couldn't help but speak more harshly at this moment. She was very dissatisfied and puzzled. Why did she do this? She hadn't seen her father for the last time!
"Because my father died in a very undignified way. I don't think he would want you to see that side of him. And I guess he wouldn't allow others to fill his body and make a complete body that looks real but not real."

In response to this, Arasaka Yorinobu replied with a heavy expression, "You're right." His words were well-reasoned and made Arasaka Hanako, who was already very angry, choked.

Her father was shot and his body was badly damaged. She saw this on the news, and Arasaka Yorinobu also told her directly, but she didn't expect it to have reached that extent.

"How could this be?"

Hanako Arasaka was a little dazed. She could not accept such a result at all. She always felt that everything was different from what she thought. She thought that her father and brother would definitely have a quarrel after they met, but she did not expect such an accident to happen.

"Your ears"

Arasaka Hanako looked up at her brother, her eyes fell on Arasaka Yorinobu's ear, a look of distress flashed across her face, and she was also a little dissatisfied with herself. At some point, she actually suspected her brother Arasaka Yorinobu, but how could this be possible? How could her brother kill their father? Obviously, there was no such thing as a quarrel before.
"I'm fine, don't worry, Huazi, we will definitely find the murderer and avenge our father."

Arasaka Yorinobu hugged his sister, his expression was firm and his tone was also very firm. Nothing could shake his belief.

Arasaka began to send reinforcements to Night City, and the New America and military technology also responded tit-for-tat, and the situation in Night City instantly heated up.

At this moment, Rosalind Miles received bad news. Her biggest secret seemed to be exposed.

"Arasaka Michiko, did I underestimate you?"

Looking at the meeting invitation sent by Michiko Arasaka, Rosalind Miles frowned and seemed a little anxious.

"President Miles, you don't want anyone to know about the lark, do you?"

Seeing this, Rosalind Miles couldn't help but clench her fists. It was obvious that Arasaka Michiko's intelligence ability was far beyond her expectations. She was worthy of being a private detective company that made her fortune. She even peeked into her deepest secrets.

"Are there traitors?"

Rosalind Miles' mind was in a mess. She had no clue what was going on and just felt that this incident happened too suddenly.

"Zhao Mei, come here, let's change our schedule."

In the end, Rosalind Miles decided to meet Michiko Arasaka because she had no other choice.
