from night city

But if the attack doesn't reach your doorstep, there's no need to take sides.

Yes.

We were all Americans once, and it seems that the new America is closer to us brothers.

But this is just a look.

Laugh to death.

When the new United States attacked you during the Unification War a few years ago, did they treat you as a buddy?

Everyone knows the military discipline of the U.S. military, and the new U.S. military has completely inherited the military discipline of the U.S. military.

This happened only a few years ago.

Does this require everyone to put aside their hatred and conflicts and share the same hatred?

Why.

Arasaka is here to fight your New America, what does it have to do with us?

Even if we think about it from the perspective of interests, we and your new United States can't pee in the same pot.

North America belongs to Americans. Assuming Arasaka wins, Arasaka will not be able to accommodate a new United States that big. In the end, a land as big as the New United States will still fall into the hands of Texas, the Western States, and the Pacific Alliance. inside.

And if Arasaka loses, it doesn't matter. At the very least, Arasaka will greatly consume the strength of New America and military technology, making it impossible for New America to have another unification war for at least the next 30 to [-] years.

You see, no matter it is

Arasaka wins or New America/Military Technology wins, the Western States, Texas and the Pacific League all win.

So why do they still choose sides?

Moreover, if they stand with New America, then their country will instantly become the front line against Arasaka (after all, New America is in the east, and their country is in the west)...

In this case, wouldn’t it mean that we would become the spearhead of the new America?Normal people would think of this, right?

Therefore, when President Miles sought support, without exception, he was rejected.

No matter what President Miles says, they stick to their neutrality and remain unwavering.

This made President Miles understand that it would not work to rely on empty words to deceive the white wolf, and he would have to bear the pain of cutting his flesh.

As a result, President Miles made some concessions and put forward conditions in various aspects such as financial assistance.

The result is still useless.

The top leaders of the Western States, Texas, and the Pacific Alliance are not fools. Their neutrality policy will not be shaken by a trivial profit. They are enemies rather than friends with the new United States. They stick to neutrality and do not help Arasaka. In fact, they have already It's helping the new America.

Do you want them to side with the new America?How can it be?

After irritating Arasaka, who will help them next time New America attacks them?

Seeing that there was no way to win over his own camp, President Miles was helpless.

But at least they didn't turn to Arasaka, but remained neutral. This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

The New Year's Day of 2079 came quietly in such an atmosphere full of gunpowder.

For a whole month from January to February of 2079, Arasaka's security forces were gathering.

Then, during the ten days from February [-]st to [-]th, Arasaka Yorinobu drove almost all the troops to North America.

Arasaka mobilized a large number of warships and sailed towards North America with great momentum.

This scene feels unusually familiar. The last time there was such a big movement was the United Fleet's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor more than 100 years ago.

However, this time Arasaka's army did not just run away after a successful sneak attack like last time, but they would not stop fighting until the new United States disintegrated.

Surprisingly, Arasaka's security forces did not land in Night City.

Instead, he went to Canada.

Entering Canada through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the troops then disembarked in Vancouver, the capital of Canada.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone came back to their senses.

Canada, once the back garden of the United States, unexpectedly fell into the arms of Arasaka.

President Miles and the Pentagon generals held an emergency meeting.

Their original idea was that Arasaka's army might pass through the Pacific Alliance and the Western States, but they did not expect that the march route of Arasaka's army would pass through Canada.

Since the collapse and disintegration of the United States, Canada has also fallen into chaos. After all, Canada has never been a very independent country.

First the younger brother from the UK, and then the US.

When the United States is in chaos, it will naturally follow suit.

Fortunately, Canada's foundation is there, and no matter how chaotic it is, it will not turn into a mess like Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

But it also fell from the position of developed countries.

Don't even think about competing for global hegemony. It's not easy to separate one side and maintain its own stability.

Chapter 345 The two heroes go to war (4K)

Although they didn't know what benefits Arasaka promised to Canada, President Miles and the generals quickly came to a conclusion.

They mobilized their troops, mobilized troops, and set up defenses in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and New York.

If Arasaka's security forces are planning to take a detour from Canada to attack the new United States, their target will inevitably be one of these states.

Although the troops were dispersed, no matter which state Arasaka attacked, the troops deployed in other states could quickly rush over to provide reinforcements.

And encircled Arasaka's army.

However, Military Technology did not mobilize all the troops, but still left a considerable number of troops on the border with Texas and the western states.

Especially Oklahoma, which borders the Republic of Texas, and Louisiana both left a heavy army.

Texas and the New United States have a long-standing feud. Texas established an independent country a long time ago. After being destroyed, Texas has been ready to move again.

When the United States disintegrated, Texas was the first to declare independence.

Among the countries that broke away, the one who most actively views the jokes of the new United States must be Texas.

Therefore, even though it was known that Arasaka wanted to pass through Canada and confirm the neutrality of Texas, the Western States, and the Pacific Alliance, the new United States still did not dare to take Texas lightly.

There is still a force left to guard against Texas.

While Arasaka and Military Technology are taking action, what is Su Xiao doing?

He is in the military technology building in Night City,

Facing dozens of guns pointed at his head, there were more soldiers with Wuyang Wuyang's military technology in the distance. Su Xiao, who didn't even wear exoskeleton armor and was just wearing a white windbreaker, was not affected at all. This battle scares me.

He smiled at Meredith, who was standing far away, protected by many soldiers like stars over the moon.

"You just

Is this how you welcome old friends from afar? "

"Friend? I don't think so."

"I didn't even bring a bodyguard. Doesn't this show my sincerity? Don't be ridiculous, I'm the president of Shuguang Military Company. Have you ever seen the president of any company holding a bag of explosives and dying with others?"

Meredith was silent.

She thought about it and felt that Lidya Su's words were not unreasonable.

She and Lidya Su had almost no conflicts and always cooperated happily.

Although Arasaka Corporation has suddenly increased its aid to Bolivia, Akebono Military Corporation seems to have become very close to Arasaka recently.

But I am only a middle-level cadre of Military Technology (he is the talker in Night City, but I can only be regarded as a middle-level cadre in the entire Military Technology Company). Even if Dawn Military Company decides to get involved in this fifth corporate war, Then there is no need for Su Xiao to kill himself.

He is just a middle-level cadre, and he cannot win this war even if he kills Arasaka.

Logically speaking, there is no reason to harm yourself.

Meredith raised his hand and dismissed his men.

But an elite team was still left to guard Meredith's surroundings.

Meredith said coldly: "You can tell me what your purpose is now."

"It's better to change places first. This is not a suitable place for conversation."

Meredith glanced at Lidya Su.

"Then you come with me."

Ten minutes later, Lidya Su and Meredith were sitting in a living room respectively.

Maybe she can still recall that when the two met for the first time, Su Xiao easily got rid of her two bodyguards with bare hands, and Meredith didn't leave any bodyguards behind.

It is also equivalent to showing his sincerity to Lidya Su.

"Okay, hurry up and tell me the purpose of your coming here. I have something to do and don't have time to chat with you."

Now that Meredith said this, Su Xiao stopped playing tricks with Meredith and said to her: "Ms. Meredith, do you know that you are in big trouble now?"

Meredith frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know? Now that Arasaka has gone to war with military technology, you still don't understand how dangerous your situation is?"

Meredith's eyelids twitched.

"You want to say that boy Yorinobu Arasaka dares to attack me? It depends on whether he has the ability. Our military technology is not a vegetarian."

In fact, of course it was impossible for her not to worry, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of an outsider like Su Xiao.

Su Xiao nodded: "Ms. Meredith, you have this backbone, which is worthy of admiration. However, I just don't know if military technology is worth your efforts for them?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Lidya Su spread her hands.

"Ms. Meredith is a person who understands. She must know better than me. Now the fifth corporate war has begun, and Night City is Arasaka's territory. People like Ms. Meredith have military technology status. People's situation will become very dangerous."

"Logically speaking, in this case, Military Technology should organize your evacuation. After all, if I am Arasaka Yorinobu, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate it. There is still a nail of Military Technology under my nose. "

"But Military Technology didn't do this. Why? Is it because your leaders don't have the brains of Arasaka Yorinobu to think of this?"

"I think, Ms. Meredith, you probably already have the answer in your mind, right?"

Meredith snorted coldly.
