Chapter 925 Current Night City (Part 2)
"A small house of 80 square meters, and a gentle and good wife~"
"The child can play in the World Club smoothly, and can win the championship by playing casually~"
V is a person who does not bear grudges. To be more precise, he does not bear grudges against his own people, and Lille's disappearance for two years does not count as a grudge. The car raced a few laps in the badlands, and Barley took her to several thrilling super transformations. She forgot about those things in an instant and smiled like a silly girl.
At this moment, the car has arrived near the former border wall-
The long wall has mostly collapsed, and the customs inspection station that was originally fully armed has become a ruin.
Lille, V and Jack met for the first time in this town, and this town is now deserted.
The road was artificially changed into a small path, leading directly to a collapsed gap. Obviously, this was what Night City did later.
In the vast badlands, solar panels were either taken back by military technology or blown up.
There were some Iron Beetle drones floating in the sky, which seemed to be deployed, but they were mainly for early warning, not the fully armed blockade as in the past.
After all, Night City is still lacking some strength compared to Militech, and it is obviously unrealistic to complete the overall construction in two years.
Lille said curiously: "What's wrong with this place?"
"What else can we do? Militech is scared of us."
V interrupted the new song "Night City's Requirements Are Not High" that he had just learned, and spread his hands, proud and proud. Jack was the same, but unfortunately he couldn't speak for the time being.
"Militech asked to increase the contract amount, but Ryan refused. To be more precise, he didn't dare to do it. Then I organized Adecado to raid the Militech troops on the border, sometimes outside, sometimes nearby.
In the end, they didn't dare to come.
Don't tell me, the anti-aircraft missiles of the Netherhounds are really useful, and they even hit a Militech plane."
Lille understood.
Obviously, this is a very direct way of playing: the border wall of Night City was ceded by Ryan in a larger sense.
Ceding the seaport to Arasaka and the road port to Militech is a balancing strategy.
With Arasaka gone, Militech will inevitably gain an advantage. It must either give in or use force.
Lille warned Ryan to be independent, and Ryan saw clearly that if he followed the old path, he would be destroyed by the company, so he could only rely on his fellow Night City people, and the Nether Dogs who came to Night City.
V pointed to the sky: "At that time, Militech dispatched an awesome plane, supersonic, which killed a large number of people at once, and there were also bombers!"
Lille raised his eyebrows: "Bomber? How big?"
"Uh, they are all the same size?"
Obviously, the bomber in Lille's concept is different from V's cognition, or it is slightly different from the cognition of this world.
The development of military forces in this world tends to be small and mobile, large strategic units, the most famous of which are Arasaka's aircraft carriers and Militech's air fortresses.
Normal fighters are smaller than Lille's cognition, and their main combat weapons are large-caliber machine guns and missiles.
It seems that the "bomber" mentioned by V is a modified version of the fighter's ammunition. It seems that Military Technology has also tried other aspects.
It's just that this world doesn't have so many resources for them to use, and the New America is not well-off.
"Hansen fired five missiles from Night City, and then a plane was hit. We had already captured the border wall at that time, and Adecado had dug a temporary air-raid shelter nearby in advance.
But many people still died."
At the end, V's tone became a little disappointed.
The result is obvious. Military Technology believes that the cost has exceeded expectations and the risks are even more uncontrollable.
If they could still accept a war, they would not have accepted the ceasefire agreement a few years ago. The New America has entered a recuperation period after signing the agreement. Under the leadership of V and Jack, Adecado's strength on the border of Night City is enough for them to consider other options.
What's more, the number of people in Adecado is beyond imagination. Among the millions of homeless people, at least half of them can fight. Not to mention the level of death warriors, harassing their facilities in the country and the transportation lines on the US-Mexico border is enough to make them drink a pot.
The control of the border of Night City can be returned. After all, this city does not have the ability to attack and take over Southern California; but the domestic facilities and the US-Mexico border completely affect production and trade. The new United States decided to focus on these things.
Without the border, everything becomes freer.
Seeing that Lil had nothing to say, V began to hum what Lil taught her: "Every day, commuting is smooth, there is no morning and evening traffic rush~"
"I can make money by going outdoors to exercise and looking at the blue sky~"
"Ah, the weather is a bit bad now."
But commuting is indeed smooth--
The new United States has continued to control the trade of Night City. Although it is difficult for President Miles to control those giant companies, it has reduced trade exchanges to a certain extent.
However, there is always gain and loss. The merchants from New America are gone, but the once displaced Adecado and even other wanderer clans are gaining.
There are many ghost towns outside Night City, which are now occupied by the Adecado clan. In the further places are wanderers from other clans. Basically, it can be said that Adecado has now become the natural border checkpoint of Night City.
Most cities discriminate against homeless people, and treat them as rapists, murderers, and robbers under propaganda. Only in Night City, Adecado has become an official strategic cooperative laborer, and his life is much better than other homeless people.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
However, homeless people are indeed the main force of the robbery company, and many of them will abandon their moral bottom line and join the Luan Dao Society. Border inspection is still necessary-
Now most homeless people will trade with Adecado first, and Adecado will strictly review these outsiders in order to maintain his status.
Border inspection must have a clear xenophobia, which helps them stay sharp, and understanding outsiders can make the work smoother.
Lille nodded slightly: Ryan did a very good job, not the kind of fake politician who simply relies on deception to get to the top.
There are many vehicles on the road, and in order to make it easier for cars to drive, homeless people will occasionally repair the road on their own.
Of course, there must be secret struggles, which are absolutely unavoidable, but overall it is much better.
Just in the badlands around Night City, Lille felt positive changes. Before that, he was actually worried:
Political institutions are best formed spontaneously and independently, rather than being forced and airborne. Only the former can conform to the current situation of the city and adapt to the changes in the city. This adaptation process will also join the spirit of development, rather than extinguish their initiative.
[Illuminati: Inefficient approach, the control of the Night City government is very weak. ]
Lille doesn't think so.
"How can you judge it as inefficient when you haven't seen the effect yet?"
[Illuminati: Indeed, maybe I can update my database. ]
The Illuminati slid to his knees instantly, making Lille feel more speechless: The Illuminati seems to be an AI that gathers the thoughts of famous political, historical, economic and philosophical figures, but how can it be as cowardly as a puppy.
Perhaps guessing Lille's thoughts, the Illuminati added:
[Illuminati: In fact, my model does have some views on this, but the social form of Night City is indeed far beyond the cognition of predecessors. Even after World War II, I have hardly entered data that has a significant impact on the model. Even if there is, it is all negative examples. 】
【Illuminati: I do have a misunderstanding, it's not me who licks you. 】
Lille was even more speechless, and felt weird
Anyway, Lille continued to admire the "thriving" bad land, thinking that with so many people, maybe he could do something big here.
V didn't notice Lille communicating with his AI brother at all, and stretched one hand out of the window, feeling the wind and rain:
"I still have time to go to Berlin, London, the Alps, I go shopping, I go to the beach, such a leisurely day~"
Although it was not a very beautiful rainy day, V was in a good mood, singing and even hugged Lille tightly-
"People are very friendly, strangers nod and smile~"
"Smile. I told you to smile!"
Lille turned his head stiffly, posing as if "If you have the ability, use your hands to scratch an expression on my face."
The little octopus saw this and his eyes curved, knocking on the barley.
