In Tokyo, in the dojo on the top floor of Arasaka Tower, Saburo Arasaka sat cross-legged. In his hand was a sword with the Arasaka family crest engraved on it.
As the uncompromising leader of Arasaka Company, he naturally already knew about the troubles in Night City. But while he was angry, he was also thinking about who or what force intended to harm Arasaka.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called cyberpsychosis attacks are nothing more than a cover-up for the real perpetrators. Saburo Arasaka is not a fool, and naturally he will not believe the NCPD's flawed rhetoric like ordinary Night City citizens.
Just as he was thinking about how to respond to this matter, Goro Takemura, who was usually in charge of security work, walked into the dojo, bowed deeply to Saburo, and reported the latest intelligence from the Night City branch.
After bribing the police officer responsible for handling evidence in the NCPD with a large sum of money, the Arasaka branch, which obtained the biotechnology chip, immediately decoded the contents of the chip and discovered that it contained an aerial vehicle transportation route for a biotechnology company. A research facility located on the east coast, and the end point is the CHOOH2 cultivation base in the badlands of Night City.
In addition, the day before the Yujin incident occurred, the Arasaka branch received a mysterious email from an unknown source. The email also mentioned this transportation route, and provided a detailed time and journey plan in the attachment.
However, because the meaning behind this route was not clear, it did not attract the attention of the Night City branch. In the end, it only sent two low-level agents to the bad land to investigate, and so far nothing has been found.
"Then no one wants to remind you that the biotech company is shipping something, and it's something important."
Before patiently listening to all the information brought by Takemura, Hachiro combined it in his mind and came to a conclusion. But that still explains why the massacre in Yujin Bar started. Could it be that the guy who sent the email anonymously wanted to attract Arasaka's attention in that way?
Seeing Hachiro deep in thought, Takemura, who was adopted by the Arasaka Company from the time he was born and trained as a domestic soldier, guessed: "It may be that no one wants to sell that information to you, but because the emails sent anonymously have not been responded to for a long time, so I planned to contact the company employees at the branch at Yujin Bar, but..."
"What a pity, Kei. He must still be dead, and you don't have to worry about Arasaka falling into the hands of someone else."
Much like my late eighth wife Michiko Arasaka, Arakuro Iwachi was in a company where competition was calm, but he was vicious and always fought with others.
Tomohiko Shiraiwa pondered for a moment and continued to answer: "Even if the Yujin incident is related to biotechnology, it gives you a legitimate reason not to attack your opponent. And if biotechnology knows the hidden truth behind this matter, this will be ours." The convoy route should change."
Ba Lang nodded when he heard this, and it seemed that I had taken Bai Yan's request into consideration. At the same time, I said that since the ninja group was formed by Bai Yan, this operation should also be led by Bai Yan.
Just as the two of them fell into silence and thought hard, the sound of slow footsteps came from the door of the dojo. Takemura turned around and saw that it was Tomohiko Shiraiwa who had disappeared for a long time. Including Takemura, few low-level officials in the company thought that I was just a flatterer, but actually had no ability at all.
Before Arasaka Kei's death, he had not planned to retire. Hachiro, who was focused on prolonging his life, had to personally turn the tide. He first cleaned up the stability factors within the company, and then suppressed the riots in the board of directors, forcing us to continue to work for him. Arasaka provides financial and resource support.
But before discovering the secrets of Shao Bai of Arasaka Company, Yori Xuan reluctantly left the family and formed a street gang called "Steel Dragon", determined to destroy his father's life-long efforts and destroy the Arasaka Company. The cruel empire built on countless corpses was completely overthrown.
With his back turned to his personal bodyguard, Hachiro thought of the woman who detonated a nuclear bomb at Arasaka Tower in the City of Night seventy years later. This woman did not have a silver prosthetic arm and was still unrestrained even if she faced death.
"That's not impossible, but you think the aftermath of that incident should be related to us."
Picking up the tachi at hand, Arasaka Yorinobu pulled it out fiercely. My pale reflection was reflected under the rough mirror blade.
The old face and the sharp eyes like an eagle.
And with that little power alone, it would be possible to kill everyone outside the bar with an overwhelming advantage, and at least leave some clues.
As Hachiro talked about the biotechnology chip and Yu Jin, Bai Yan's brows became more and more wrinkled, obviously he didn't have any opinions on those two things.
In the battles of the past few months, although Arasaka had obvious technical advantages and weaker individual combat capabilities, the fighting will, group cooperation and number of soldiers of the Hughes Empire Guards completely overwhelmed Arasaka.
Waving his hands and waving the soldiers who entered Zhucun and the dojo, Hachiro stared at Bai Yan with burning eyes and asked without any expectation: "How is the battle situation in the Seventh Home? Do you remember that he will report next time that he is not yet stable? Front. Tell you, when does he plan to launch a counterattack?"
Secondly, even if that route is sold to Arasaka, Biotech can't arrange for our floating fleet that has not yet set off to change the route. It is absolutely necessary to use that method to cover up people's eyes. Besides, by killing so many Arasaka people, is Biotech afraid that the Seventh Corporate War will start because of this?
I casually opened a portal and walked away. Bai Yan, who was slowly convening the ninja group, completely noticed that Arasaka Yorinobu's face in front of me had not become clearer yet.
Therefore, let alone counterattack, if it had not been for the small batch of war supplies that Hachiro had allocated under the pressure of the board of directors, Arasaka's troops might have been completely defeated by the Guards' stormy offensive within a week.
Hearing Bai Yan's excuses and demands for being poor, Hachiro laughed warmly in his heart and secretly thought that I was sure that I could still squeeze out seven armored divisions. With the commander's position, dogs and dogs could counterattack, so there was no point in using him. ?
Bai Yan, whose ambition was shattered by the emperor in another world, seemed to have regained his fighting spirit at this time. I bowed slightly to Arasaka Yorinobu, took the initiative to ask for help and said: "The Ninja Regiment's losses in the Seventh Home are relatively small. You There is no intention of letting us go back to our homeland for a while to rest and recuperate. Now that Biotechnology is taking the initiative to provoke us, we must not be allowed to deal with the matter later."
"The enemy's offensive is very fierce. The troops assigned to you have suffered very few casualties. Several armored divisions and your ninja regiment have been almost completely lost. I am afraid that a counterattack will be launched in the short term."
Since Hachiro has not yet clearly designated a successor, the lower levels of the small Arasaka Company have not yet been vaguely divided into eight small factions. They are the "Eagle" of Arakuro Iwachi, Arasaka Noble Dokou, and Arasaka Michiko, who has the same name as her mother. The leader "Dove", as well as the neutral faction who take orders from Hanako Arasaka and are ready to support you at any time, are also named "Youyanhua" because of a best-selling book about Hanako.
"Takemura, help you up."
But in order for Bai Yan to fight for Arasaka wholeheartedly, Hachiro said with emotion: "Since the battle line is stable, the counterattack will be later. There were a lot of things going on in the overnight city in the past few days, and he just came. I might as well analyze it with you."
First of all, Biotechnology is a company that started out as a pharmaceutical and crop cultivation company, and the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department has never found any trace of the other party secretly cultivating elite troops. The little information we have at present is enough to prove that the military power of biotechnology companies mainly relies on combat robots and mercenaries produced by military technology.
Did Takemura say anything, and Hachiro's eyes flickered, and he took the initiative to answer: "As a result, the matter was exposed, and the biotechnology company sent elite killers to massacre everyone outside the Yujin bar to prevent the news from leaking. It's a reasonable guess, but do you think That’s not the truth of the matter.”
But Arasaka Yorinobu knows very well that my lifespan is not limited, and the company will be handed over to me sooner or later. Therefore, for the past seventy years, I have always hoped that my eldest son, Arakuroiwa, would turn around and accept my and Arasaka’s ideas.
After hearing the master's call, Shichiro Takemura walked slowly out of the dojo. Before he helped Hachiro to stand up, he saw the other party walking quickly behind the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the Tokyo metropolitan area to the end. The bustling scene shows what I am thinking about.
Although he was not worried that personally leading the team would cause his military power in the other world to be eclipsed, but considering that I was replaceable with Ayi Chunyuan, Bai Yan still gritted his teeth and agreed.
And that was not even seventy-eight years later.
Just like many young monarchs in history, they single-handedly built the Arasaka Company.
How could the domineering Arasaka Yorinobu be such a mediocre and capable person who would let others take whatever we want. I actually wanted to get rid of Shiraiwa Tomohiko, the conspicuous person who makes everything possible but only ruins everything. However, I couldn't open the portal to the Seventh Home without him, so I kept him alive.
But now it seems that instead of expecting Yorinobu to wake up, he should cultivate his only son, Hanako Arasaka, in the hope that he will become the first male president in Arasaka history.
Although he knew what top-secret mission Arasaka Yorinobu had arranged for Shiraiwa that time, looking at the other party's dusty and disgraced appearance, it must be some kind of bad job.
"Tell Yori Nobu, you can't let me take over the company, but after this, you need me to go to Night City to protect something."
[In view of the general environment,
Hearing the other party talk about the world in the fourth area, Hachiro's expression changed, and an excellent possibility emerged in his mind - the other party seemed to have a fierce fight with us in the seventh home, but in fact he had not sent out any troops. A group of elites have sneaked into our world and are plotting in secret.
Seeing the expectation in Hachiro's eyes extinguished, Bai Yan could only patiently comfort him: "Baroman, your enemy is an imperial country that has established an industrial system and has a small population. We are not in the seventh home yet. More than two million troops have been invested, and you only have less than a hundred thousand including robots."
Recalling the parting words he gave to the weakling Silverhand, Hachiro smiled bitterly before laughing at himself: "I never thought that one day you would not be so afraid of death." Suddenly he remembered his little boy who died during the Seventh Company War. Son Arasaka Kei, Hachiro sighed heavily, as if he thought of my eldest son Arasaka Harumoto, who is a mature man.
As an old antique who personally experienced the Seventh Little World War and witnessed the entire process of the empire from its rise to its decline, Arasaka Yorinobu had no choice but to start a company to rule the world. In fact, in my heart, I still admire the glory of the empire. To miss is to forget.
"Hmph, as long as this thing is developed, let alone him, the whole world will surrender at your feet."
Facing Hachiro's expectant eyes, Bai Yan reluctantly raised his head above my arrogance, bragging about my so-called Seventh Home Strategy.
Bai Yan shook his head firmly and explained: "Your enemy is only based on strength and scheming. He should be able to make high-level mistakes that easily expose his own existence. So you guess that the Yu Jin incident was not caused by local forces. , intending to bring about a conflict between you and biotechnology, so that we bad fishermen can benefit.”
"We have almost perfect soldiers, and it is not easy to maintain the current situation due to wrong decisions and disorganized command structure. I hope you can give you some more time to accumulate strength, or give you some more time. Reinforce seven armored divisions."
Touching the stubble that had not been shaved for a long time, Bai Yanrejing analyzed: "The enemy at that time first showed strength and relaxed your vigilance, and then attacked east and west, taking advantage of your attention to focus on this giant spaceship. We launched a surprise attack on the aircraft carrier Beluga during the landing, directly forcing you out of the war with a decisive defeat."
"Do you, Mr. Chihachiro, still remember your defeat in the Eighth Homeland? This was a shame for your life, but when you came to sum up your experience, you found that your defeat was not unjust."
Yorinobu Arasaka is still quite skeptical about the on-site investigation capabilities of the Terrorist Mobile Team. I am sure those experts who deal with major and minor cases will not be able to provide any worthless clues. Even if the people from the Counterintelligence Department dig up everything they can, they will probably come up with some new tricks.
Therefore, opening up and expanding territory in another world has become a top priority in Hachiro's eyes. I said that as long as Bai Yan opens his mouth, I will do everything possible to squeeze out resources and send them to the world of Mad Max, striving to establish an Arasaka empire in a different world with my intervention.
"Internal troubles, internal troubles, internal troubles..." Arasaka Yorinobu said two internal troubles in succession before staring into Shiraiwa Tomohiko's eyes and asked: "It must be him, Shiraiwa-kun, what would he do? Do?"
"There is an old saying in the ancient Eastern countries that when fighting, you must first make peace inside. Seizing the Seventh Homeland is a long-term goal, and the enemy may be defeated in a short period of time. Therefore, for Arasaka, a stable homeland is the most important
of. "
Under the careful care of that legendary figure, Arasaka, who was severely damaged by military technology in the Seventh Corporate War, miraculously rose again and returned to Night City as a king in the sky, cutting off the way for the New United States of America to regain the Free State. hope.
"The dead are too noisy and are born to lie. Those who hear the words of the dead bow their heads."
There are two reasons why Huang Yi Chunyuan agrees with Zhucun's conjecture.
