Chapter 831: Crossing the Storm (Part 2)
The fourth corporate war is also called the "Ocean War". Both OTEC and CINO want to acquire IHAG, which has declared bankruptcy, to make up for the shortcomings of their respective businesses.
At the beginning of the war, no one was optimistic about OTEC: CINO had the largest number of advanced submersibles and other ship patents in the world, and could almost be said to be the maritime hegemon. Even Arasaka’s aircraft carrier also had their technology, while OTEC only had a bunch of patents. Marine technology that doesn’t look too rigid.
But as a mercenary of military technology, Lao She rode OTEC's biological weapons and raided many offshore resource platforms like a ghost on the sea, and was not caught until the end of the war.
Under the circumstances that most people in the world were not optimistic about, he relied on his mortal body to destroy many marine warfare vehicles belonging to Arasaka. With countless achievements, he became a mercenary of the military technology side, the final victor of the war. The legend of Night City.
Basically, it can be said that among the three initiators of the fourth war, OTEC, which relied on military technology, won the big one, limiting CINO to Europe, gaining more marine ecological platforms, and becoming the world's The largest plastic supplier in the world——
Of course, this war has nothing to do with them after CINO and OTEC reached an agreement. What followed was the struggle between their mercenary Arasaka and military technology.
In the end, the Fourth Corporate War went too far and ended with a nuclear bomb blasting the Arasaka Tower in Night City. At the same time, the Economic Bureau under the European Community also nationalized Arasaka's properties in Europe, so now there are Arasaka's products, but hardly Arasaka's service.
Since then, CINO has been operating under the name of "lucky" OTEC. If someone wants to buy advanced marine technology, they will definitely think of OTEC first.
So when a few people walked into CINO Whale Farm in Folkestone and said they wanted to buy fish in Bruges, they were confused.
First of all, CINO's biological weapons technology is not mature, at least it is not verified by military operations like OTEC.
Secondly, except for mercenaries and company soldiers who are desperate for their lives, who can ride a fish?
But no matter what, they bought it.
At this moment, CINO's manager reported this matter to the superiors, who quickly responded:
Now it is a free market policy, and the other party will sell it if it pays.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Grove, Mr. Strange, and I wish you a pleasant journey——
I'm thinking that maybe if the journey is pleasant, we can open up the intelligent biological manned business, then."
"Let's talk about it then."
Elliot waved his hand and interrupted CINO's Folkestone manager.

"I don't think this is reliable"
Severns' face has remained pale since he sat on the humpback whale's head——
Since when have European Community officials been reduced to sitting on the heads of whales when traveling? !
At this moment, he began to miss traveling on luxury ferries and planes: the planes had soft beds, delicious wine, and he could take a shower before landing and go through his schedule with the help of a cyber chip.
Now he's sitting on these whale heads!
"I think this is very reliable!"
Severns felt a hard tap on his shoulder and turned around to find that it was not Elliot, but his worker friend Carl!
"My dad told me that our family used to be pirates! Haha! I'm a bearded pirate!"
Although Elliot was also unsure: he was just a fat bastard!
Carl's rough laughter also infected him. He boarded the humpback whale's body, feeling soft under his feet. The special boots made it almost impossible for him to slip.
This humpback whale is 18 meters long, weighs 42 tons, and has a total of eight seats. Its internal skeleton has been reshaped by advanced marine technology and is directly connected to the cockpit, making it extremely stable.
He glanced at the three mercenaries, Karl and Sevens who had fastened their seat belts. He felt as if he was dreaming. He sat on the chair and muttered:
"Holy shit. I never thought I'd do something like this."
Karl hugged Elliot: "Brother, you were born to do this!"
Poof!
Suddenly a water column burst out from under the water, and the humpback whale began to move!
[Johnny: Great, the final solution is to be a guinea pig for CINO]
[Johnny: But now we can be Wayland Snakes. 】
Johnny stood at the forefront of the humpback whale, opening his arms toward the rough sea, looking in his direction, and saw dark clouds in the sky——
Elliot's mind went blank, only Karl's words echoed in his mind:
He was born to do this!
Yes, only at this moment, when the whale left the coast, when he was walking on a road to make the company unhappy, and walking on a road waving flags and cheering, did he feel that he was really alive!
It was like being in the factory, when Carl raised his shield, when he and his compatriots rushed towards the cyberpsychosis
The movement of the humpback whale and the shaking on the ocean made his brain feel nauseated. This nauseating feeling was the same as the scorching temperature in the factory at that time, reminding him that he once again broke through the European Community's drawings for him. safe zone——
His body had never been so close to death, but his spirit had never felt so refreshed!
He suddenly realized something: in his 28 years of life before this, he was very comfortable, but also very painful, but he never admitted the pain and relied on those entertainments to numb himself.
He is in pain now, but full of energy!
He looked at the empty space, looking at Lear and Johnny who only he could see: "I want to do big things! I want to lead my good brothers and slap the company in the face! Even if they have money So big, I want to fuck their faces hard!”
Johnny looked at the sea and smiled:
[Johnny: "I'm going to kill him!" Elliot said, "no matter how great and brilliant he is." 】
The huge tail fin slapped on the water, and thunder exploded in the sky——
From now on, they will sail into the sea.
The CINO manager of Folkestone looked at the backs of them leaving with some emotion.
But what he lamented was that business was really good today.
In addition to these stupid orders, you can also sell this information to other companies to make a small profit.
