#1015 - Sun (Four)
A sense of dizziness arose in Miles's heart:
From receiving the news that Night City's army was discovered outside Los Angeles, to Los Angeles losing contact, the Texas fire, the terrorist attacks in Iowa City and Las Vegas, and the complete chaos, it only took less than 5 minutes!
In 5 minutes, the unified, powerful New America became as precarious as a robust boxer being carried into the ICU!
This attack on Night City was not only the decision of her, the President of New America, nor was it only supported by Militech:
EBM provided real-time orbital satellite detection of Night City, NetWatch provided network technology support to prevent rogue AIs from launching cyberattacks, Arasaka explicitly stated that it would not interfere with her attack on Night City, and Petrochem even provided a large amount of fuel and energy as material support.
It can be said that the entire capitalist world openly and secretly hoped that she would take down Night City, this tumor entrenched in the orderly society, and fundamentally eliminate this tumor that has had a major impact on the world order and operation, to eliminate that "Burger King selling stupid big shots" whatever it is!
Even the states within New America with greater autonomy, and the companies, individuals, and organizations with greater power, were tacitly approving of this action.
Before the action, she had even considered the possibility of Riel secretly uniting with other free states to launch internal strife, and had made second-hand preparations.
As a result, these preparations were of no use at all: in these states, all the executives and politicians who had assured her that they would stand by her side were dead!
Those three criminals killed all of them the moment the war started, as if they were hacking down stray dogs on the roadside!
And from EBM's spy satellites, these cities and states have fallen into unprecedented internal strife: that's not the kind of chaos that three people can cause—
It's those mud-legs!
The good news is that with the help of NetWatch, the New American Unified Government Network has an isolation capability, and directly cut off the connection after these state governments fell.
If there really is a rogue AI helping Night City, it will not directly interfere with the operation of the entire government network.
[Minnesota: Madam President, things don't seem quite right. We want to know what happened to these states? Why are they all offline?]
[Louisiana: Our drones captured a fire in Texas? That's definitely not a wildfire, it's too big!]
[Kansas: How big is it?]
It can't be that it was bombed by a nuclear bomb!
[Wyoming: President, are you sure we know our enemies that well? They...]
Doubt, tension, suspicion, apprehension, fear...
This atmosphere impacted Miles's brain, her mind was in chaos, and even the precise cybernetics on her body could not control this dizziness.
This feeling of dizziness from falling from the high heavens to the ground!
[President Miles: Silence!!!]
The meeting fell silent, and Miles adjusted her emotions:
[President Miles: Burger King launched terrorist attacks in these cities, and the state governments have temporarily lost contact in order to resist the attack of rogue AIs—]
[President Miles: But this is only temporary! All they used to launch terrorist attacks was a group of mud-legs!]
[President Miles: I want you to allocate more funds and directly hire mercenaries locally—anyone who is willing to join the army, anyone who wants to earn this money, give them as much as they want, and immediately take back these cities!]
[Utah: But President, Euros can't buy people now]
[President Miles: Then give them food, clothing, supplies, housing, anything they want, understand! If it's not in stock, give them guns and let them rob it from around them!]
The meeting was silent for a moment, and then the same idea sprouted in the hearts of people with ulterior motives in various states.
Finally, someone brought it up.
[Arkansas: I understand, Madam President, but in that case, we may have to amend the law. If we don't restore the power of the National Guard, it will be difficult for us to...]
Miles's face was grim, but that emotion was hidden in her heart, leaving the councilors with a professional, unchanging indifference.
[President Miles: I will issue a presidential order now, don't let me down, the future of the country depends on patriots.]
[Arkansas: Haha, I understand, hehe!]
The violent noise was eliminated by the noise reduction software, but everyone heard the abnormality at that moment—
What was even more abnormal was that the governors of Arkansas, Minnesota, and Illinois disappeared from the meeting at the same time!
A deathly silence permeated the cyber network—this was exactly the same as the situation of the three attacked state governors!
At the same time, Miles also received information observed by EBM through spy satellites.
If the previous dizziness was a feeling of dizziness from falling from heaven, now it was a daze from being slammed on the head.
[Colorado: Madam President, what happened?]
Miles gritted her teeth:
[President Miles: Nuclear explosion.]
After speaking, she disconnected from the network and immediately switched to Militech's internal network, issuing a string of instruction codes.
[Militech special order confirmed, instruction verification passed.]
[Air Combat Joint Force activated, deploying code LOK6 - BTA9 - DPZ3 - WKD6 - SET1 - ACX2]
[Nuclear arsenal ready.]
You think you're the only one with nuclear bombs?
Miles had completely lost her bottom line: since Night City could no longer be recovered, then nuke it.
It's just a city of 7 million people.
In the Air Force military base, the launch platform slowly rose, and the airborne fortress used to drop high-yield nuclear bombs flew towards the sky—
Although I don't know how they achieved such a long range, everyone has nuclear bombs.

And the sky only belongs to Militech.
Houston, Petrochem was buried in a sea of fire, and Riel stood in the energy depot that had not yet been affected by the explosion and flame—
The explosion that detonated Petrochem's headquarters was not a bomb, but an experiment.
An experiment conducted by the Roxxon Corporation in the Marvel world, a special means of concentrating petroleum.
However, it is very regrettable that Riel did not observe any abnormalities, that is to say, the so-called "singularity particles" only exist in the Marvel world.
"It seems that this idea is not correct."
The Tinder energy flowed, and the mechanical arm behind Riel was inserted into the hydrogen-alcohol 2 fuel tank to absorb the fuel.
Theoretically speaking, Riel can maintain his state only by relying on the Ark Reactor in his chest, but high-intensity combat consumes a lot of energy.
Being in the headquarters of the world's largest energy company, it would be a waste not to take something.
What's more, further improvement in interdimensional industry has brought him new power.
He can share energy in different worlds, which means that he can completely lie in a huge power station in another world and burn the energy storage here.
The next battle will take place in the sky.
Buzz—
The Ark Reactor in his chest emitted a low hum, the mechanical prosthetics on his body continued to deform under the impetus of the Tinder energy, making a soft sound, the current was injected, the energy flowed, and the thrusters located behind and under his feet began to spit out weak blue ions—
The steel body seemed to be a behemoth awakening, all the energy storage structures were moving, bouncing, and taut!
The first step he took, the ground made a deep dent under the heavy pressure, the thrusters instantly pulled up to the limit power, and shot straight into the sky!
He's not the only one with nuclear bombs, and flying in the sky is not Militech's privilege!
If these planes had been hiding in the hangar all the time, waiting for the company to launch a more mature combat method, it would have been really difficult to deal with.
"Let's see who the sky belongs to."
