Birdsong or the sound that wakes up Lille in New York City.

An interesting fact is that New York City's air quality varies greatly from one district to another, and from one district to another, due to historical development issues.

But no matter where it is, this air is above the "fresh air" standard in the cyberpunk world, and the price is not low.

Look at the fresh apples and bananas on the table.

There is a slight difference between the two worlds about the concepts of poverty and wealth, and in Night City, people use high-tech, but primitive things are extremely expensive.

in New York.

The poor can eat grass, and the rich have exclusive access to high technology.

The world situation remains volatile.

"Global Watch Report: Ongoing Middle East Wars, New Developments on the Front."

"There is a new movement in the Middle East theater, which is now almost in truce, and military weapons are being imported here due to the large-scale operation of Stark's industrial production department."

"However, the resistance has proven that high-tech weapons alone cannot completely destroy their defenses, so let's hear the local governor's response to this."

"'The Department of Defense has procured a batch of secret weapons from CyberTech, Pinnacle Technologies, and many other companies, and we believe this batch of weapons will help us destroy the will of the Resistance.' ”

"'They should pay for the terrorist attack.'"

On the television, Jericho missiles soared into the sky, and attack planes circled in the air.

Some people are hiding behind the main house, and this behemoth is going to war again.

Searching for news on the Internet with different purposes, Lille is not in a good mood.

As the saying goes, in war, politicians provide ammunition, the rich provide food, and the poor provide children.

But once the atmosphere is there, it starts, and when it's about to start, most people will be screaming and fighting until the bullet hits them.

Someone would love to see this war.

In an instant, the scene of the nuclear bomb explosion flashed in Lille's head, the impact raging, the flames rising, and the suffocating heat and shock wave rushed towards his face

Stomp

Footsteps sounded softly on the wooden floor, and Maya sat down on the couch next to her with a bowl of fruit, wiping her hands on her apron.

She gently put down the fruit bowl, looked at the news above with concern, and then turned to Lille:

"Concerned about international news again? The news seems really worrying, will you be affected by these things at work? ”

Lille didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and poked at a piece of apple: "Don't worry, Mom, these things will be solved." ”

An imperceptible hint of anxiety flashed in Maya's eyes as she gently grabbed Lille's hand.

"I know you're smart and capable, and you're going to solve problems.

But I'm a mother, if you're tired, you can always go home and lie down for a while, no matter what happens, I'll always support you.

Just remember that you still have a home to go back to, and I will always be at home.

And this one – it brings you good luck and reminds you that you still have me. ”

Lille opened his hand, it was a small handmade amulet, and the colored rope was wrapped around some kind of wood carving, not big or small, and it was comfortable to touch.

He looked up and looked into Maya's eyes.

My head was in a trance.

He barely hooked a smile, so stiff that even a child could see that he was pretending: "Mom, I know." ”

Perhaps seeing Lille's reluctance, Maya gently hugged Lille: "Then I'll go prepare dinner first, I have time to try some more menus now, you will definitely like it." ”

Watch as Maya returns to the kitchen, the sun shining through the heat rising from the kettle and hitting the handmade blanket on the wall.

The unsettling news on the television now seems to have turned into white noise that only fills in the silence in the background.

Lille got up: "Mom, I'm going to go out." ”

At the Lee Financial Building in New York, Lille and Martin walked briskly into the building, ignoring the media who stood at the door every day.

"Congress is going to war, and this time it's much more intense than ever, but it's not completely decided yet.

The Ministry of Defense said that it had procured some special equipment that could help them deal with the local stragglers. ”

As he walked, Lille asked, "Do you know what it is?" ”

"I don't know, it's good for the people in our hands to just keep their own one-third of an acre."

"Yes, too—what about the rival party?"

"Of course it's against it, but there's some bad news: last month the governor of California made it clear that he was against the war, and there was a car accident this week."

As he was about to step into the office, Lille paused—things were more exaggerated than he thought.

It's not that things can't happen, but it happens a little fast, and the opponent is quite unscrupulous.

Either you have something wrong with your brain, or you're really powerful.

"Dead?"

"Still alive, but I don't know how long I will live, I've already contacted his secretary and transferred to our hospital immediately."

The two walked briskly into the office.

The rather unpretentious means of political struggle are enough to show how rampant the opponent is.

Sitting in his chair, Martin immediately projected his current state on the wall.

The president and Congress are largely unanimous.

But members of Congress collect votes from voters in each state to enter Congress, so what happens in the states has a big impact on their political careers.

In 23 of the 50 states, governors and legislators from the current ruling party have expressed unequivocal support for the war, while 14 states have shown the exact opposite.

The remaining 13 states are not fully united, the governor and senators are not from the same party, and the state institutions are divided.

Swing parties can then gain their support by exerting more influence, which ultimately ends up improving the living standards of voters in the state.

However, this is a long-term option, and the top priority is to curb the arrogant momentum of the opponent.

For example, this time, the assassination of the governor of California is a very bad signal, no matter how the people make trouble, as long as this matter is not resolved, no matter who sits in this position, they have to think about their lives.

That's the priority.

"You know how serious it is?" Lille knocked on the table.

"It's serious, it's said that it's only a breath of hanging, and if we can't cure it, there can't be anyone who can cure it."

"Send it over, see how it goes, what else?"

"Military stocks are still rising, many cities have enjoyed this wave of dividends, and the media is broadcasting the smiling faces of those voters every day.

I feel like I can find anyone from the street and I'm an iron-blooded American GI - 'Make America Great Again'!

I'd love to see what they're like when they're sent to the battlefield. ”

This is the second question.

Foreign wars can certainly satisfy the thirst for resources of some companies, but in order to deceive the public, they have to make up some reliable reasons or create some favorable illusions.

For example, now: a steady stream of orders for the military industry.

A large amount of investment is diverted to the military industry and then flows to other parts of society through a complex process of social transactions.

As soon as money flows, it will make society look thriving.

Prosperity can be achieved only by the flow of money, but how it flows determines the form of social development.

Lille had to find a way to pull the economy up in the realm of peaceful production, so that more people would agree with his ideas.

Otherwise, I won't be able to eat enough, and I'll be a peaceful fart.

Lille placed a briefcase on the table.

"It doesn't matter, the moment that belongs to us will soon come, and the new chip design scheme and complete set of production methods are here, contact the foundry."

"About this." Martin paused, "The previous cooperative factory was acquired, and the hostile takeover, the process is more complicated, but there is no need to think about cooperation."

The acquirer is Cyber Technology, which is also a special purchaser of the Ministry of Defense.

I've looked for foundries that might still be compliant – but it turns out that none of them are willing to work with them. ”

Lille's hand opening the briefcase paused--

The greed and fanaticism of the opponent are beyond imagination.
