Night City, Arasaka Tower.

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

It stands opposite the military technology building, as if it is a shadow of the past.

In front of Tang Yu, Michiko mentioned the past between the two, which seemed to have other intentions.

Her tone was not shocked, and she said frankly to Tang Yu.

"I used to think about returning to the Kyoto mansion, after all, it was the heart of the Arasaka family."

"But today's Arasaka family can no longer condescend to a corner and fantasize about the return of the glory of the past"

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

Tang Yu listened to Michiko's 'frank words' and felt more and more strange.

The meaning of the words is that she already sees herself as a hope for the revival of the family.

It seems that there is some dissatisfaction with Arasaka Huazi and Arasaka Yoritobu, who live in Kyoto.

Tang Yu can't completely judge whether Komi Chiko's words are true or false, but he can affirm her strength and is not the opponent of other Arasaka family members.

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

The contradictions between Arasaka and military science and technology are irreconcilable, and the main businesses such as military industry, munitions and security determine their fundamental interests.

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

In today's fierce competition, whoever stands still will be trampled underfoot.

Once the conflict between the two giant companies breaks out again, the role and status of Komichiko no longer exists.

And.

The Arasaka family still has hole cards in their hands, and they are by no means as dangerous as Michiko's mouth.

Tang Yu was still silent, guessing what Michiko was thinking, waiting for her to continue singing a one-man show.

Michiko didn't seem to care about Tang Yu's silence, and continued to tell as if she was talking to herself.

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

"Although we have found evidence of military technology covertly supporting the terrorist operation of nuclear explosions"

"But instead of setting off a wave of opposition to military technology, as we expected, it created a stronger opportunity for the other side."

"The rulers of New America, the impact of the nuclear bombing, forced the nationalization of military technology"

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

"Power, resources, money, technology, armed forces and other forces are highly concentrated, and they have developed and merged into today's behemoths"

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

"Arasaka is not ready to fight again"

That's it.

Tang Yu was a little suspicious of Xiaomei Chiko, did she already know about last night's transaction.

The Arasaka Elite Team kills Caitlin and makes a deal with the military technology Meredith Stoutt to help him conceal the truth about the killing of the Arasaka Special Service.

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

Not only Michiko Arasaka, over the years, has endured and maneuvered with military technology, but also the efforts she has made have been in vain.

It will also allow Arasaka Yoritomu to seize the opportunity and even go to Night City to start a frontal attack on military technology.

Even if a major war does not break out, skirmishes are bound to become more frequent and intense.

In case of.

Tang Yu was charged with privately colluding with the director of military science and technology special operations, which is not something that can be fired.

With that in mind.

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

Since Michiko is tempting, he can also make a statement first and test her.

"I work in the counterintelligence department, at least in the intelligence department, and I still know a lot about the internal situation of the company."

"The infiltration of military science and technology into our intelligence has always been intensified"

"This Vortex Gang's attack on the special service team must be inseparable from the support of military technology"

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

Xiao Michiko frowned slightly, she naturally knew this, and there were already people on the board of directors talking about military technology.

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

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

"This is the opportunity for Arasaka to return to Night City, and the current foothold is not stable, if an open conflict with military technology breaks out, it will only make Arasaka's layout in the Americas passive"

"I think that's what Arasaka doesn't want to see."

Tang Yu saw that Xiaomei Chiko did not react, and knew that she was still waiting for her to make a further statement, and she would not scatter eagles if she didn't see a rabbit.

He had no choice but to continue: "To tell you the truth, today in the board of directors, I made a detailed understanding"

"Many directors are very dissatisfied with military technology, believing that they are behind the support of the Vortex Gang and demanding countermeasures against military technology"

"The call for countermeasures is too high, and forcibly suppressing it will only make things more difficult"

"Therefore, certain measures need to be taken, not only to achieve the purpose of countermeasures, but also not to produce open contradictions."

"In this way, we can take care of both sides and achieve a satisfactory effect for both parties."

Tang Yu didn't say it explicitly, the most difficult thing in the whole thing was Akisaka Michiko herself.

Once the countermeasures are too much and inappropriate, it will anger military technology.

The other party has found a backer, the elite politicians of New Americaica, and targeted and suppressed you Michiko Arasaka.

Not to mention the military tech executives, many of whom themselves are in the top echelons of the new America.

When the time comes, Michiko will be caught between both sides and will fall into an extremely embarrassing situation.

At that time, Michiko Arasaka did not know how many politicians and executives she visited in order to retain her American citizenship.

It's hard to get to where she is today, and once she disappoints Saburo Arasaka, who is far away in Kyoto, she will lose everything.

Michiko Arasaka finally relented, and seemed to be satisfied with Tang Yu's answer, and the prosthetic eye turned the aperture to send the command.

On the empty silver floor, a square brick collapsed, then rose again, and a chair was lifted out and placed at the conference table.

"Sit down"

After Michiko Arasaka finished speaking, she walked to her desk and sat down in her desk.

Tang Yu, who had stood for a while, walked close and sat on the seat opposite Michiko.

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

"These high-level permissions on military scientific and technological intelligence, I will open them to you"

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

"This matter is only reported to me, and it will be reviewed by the board of directors after the task is completed"

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