Chapter 157 The most powerful giant company on earth!
After speaking, Miles handed over the red wine in his hand. Li Ang took the goblet, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.
He looked at Miles with a smile and replied: "No, Mr. President, this is our historic moment."
"Without your strong support, LA Company would not be in the situation today. I also sincerely congratulate you on completing the reunification and restoring the new America as soon as possible."
Li Ang was not just being polite to Miles. He was really grateful to Miles for insisting on transferring the money to LA Company's account despite the opposition of the Washington Congressmen.
If it weren't for this, Li Ang really couldn't guarantee that he could accumulate so many corporate coins and draw so many task rewards.
The rapid rise of LA Company is inseparable from Miles, a fanatical war criminal and ambitious politician.
"Mr. Leon, it's our luck that you think this way. From now on, we must continue to maintain close cooperation, as always!"
Miles was so happy that he couldn't help but drink the glass of red wine in his hand.
The recovery of lost territory in the eastern part of North America and the rapid westward advance of the army made Miles's voice in the Washington Congress take off.
The powerful Miles no longer needs to look at the faces of those congressmen to act. Her rapidly expanding self-confidence has given her more strategic goals.
And her first step is to continue to win over Leon of LA Company!
The groups that can be called giant companies in the world today are only these three different corporate forces, the European Community, Su Petrochemical, and the LA Company that has just replaced Arasaka.
The European Community is a large group composed of multiple companies with monopoly-level strength in high-tech fields.
Companies such as Orbital Aviation, Trauma Team, International Electric, and Network Monitoring are their core members.
What is surprising is that the European Community in this world is so united that there is almost no division or independence.
When these united European companies gather together, they are the most comprehensive and powerful giant companies on the planet!
And Su Petrochemical is a giant company of state-level across the Eurasian continent. This company controls the most land and ocean areas in the world.
It controls a variety of oil, minerals, mountains, rivers and other resources, so Su Petrochemical can be called the first resource giant!
As for LA, as a military giant with the strongest combat power on the surface, this company controls the top war technology.
Some people previously doubted that Kangtao would be the only opponent of LA, but with the emergence of polymer devices, everyone understood it very clearly.
The King of Weapons from Little Chinatown is still the invincible King of Weapons!
No one can shake Li Ang's position in the field of arms, even if Arasaka and Kangtao companies come together.
It is precisely because of this that Miles is more determined to continue to win over Leon. She must let LA's military factories run at full capacity for the new America!
Even if Congress is almost unable to feed this evil wolf, she has to drive this beast to continue to work for her grand cause.
"Since we have cooperated so many times, I will not hide it from you this time."
Miles smiled slightly, and then directly told Leon:
"After the Metal War is over, I plan to separate Night City as your LA company's private property."
"Even if it is a simple return for the brilliant contributions made by LA Company to the new America!"
As soon as these words came out, Leon couldn't hold back his smile. He shook his head, thinking that Miles was really generous. He actually thought of giving him the assets of the Night Company.
It is estimated that only a thick-skinned and shrewd politician like Miles can be so generous to others.
Everyone in the world knows that Night City is the private property of the Yeshi Company. Now Miles is openly trampling on the founding constitution of the United States. I really don’t know if she is arrogant or deliberately framing LA Company.
However, this also shows from the side that Miles has gone to great lengths to get the support of LA Company.
She is even willing to let Leon build a country within a country belonging to LA Company on her unified territory.
Seeing Leon smiling and shaking his head, Miles thought that the other party did not meet such conditions, so she added:
"Of course, the small Night City is not enough to reflect the outstanding contribution made by LA Company to the new America. I think even a state is not enough!"
When Miles said this, she was already telling Leon that giving California, where Night City is located, to LA Company was the limit she could give.
If Leon still wants to push for more, she will never accept it!
As a shrewd and stingy politician, Miles originally did not intend to use land as a bargaining chip, but now the only thing she can show is this.
After all, almost all the money in the treasury has gone into the account of LA Company. Even if Miles wants to continue to pay money to Leon, he has to collect taxes after a while.
If he continues to pay money to LA Company, he will have to collect taxes until 80 years later!
If the civilians are squeezed into paupers, then Miles can only cut other companies.
But doing so is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Mr. President, thank you for your support for LA Company."
Leon neither politely rejected Miles' gift nor greedily expressed his desire for more. He just replied with some ambiguous nonsense.
This made Miles a little confused about Leon's true thoughts. You don't want Night City, and you don't want California, so what do you want?
But before Miles could continue to speak and test Leon's inner thoughts, Leon asked first:
"Mr. President, after your troops advance to the western battlefield, what are you going to do next?"
"Should we stop fighting and observe the situation temporarily, or should we continue to advance with all our strength?"
The reason why Leon asked this was that he wanted to understand Miles's details.
If Miles intends to use fighting to promote talks, then she is likely to collude with the consortium in Europe, and perhaps this war will be paused.
But if Miles wants to advance as soon as possible and complete the unification task earlier, it means that Miles has indeed been squeezed almost by the LA company.
If this metal war drags on like this, it will only take a year or two to move forward, but the rebels will definitely be stronger than they are now.
Miles must be very clear about the principle of taking advantage of his weakness.
"Of course, keep moving forward!"
Miles' tone was very decisive. She did not deliberately conceal any information. The party that has the upper hand now is New America, and striking while the iron is hot is the most correct decision.
"However, when my troops arrive in Night City, I will deliberately stay in the sky above Night City and send fighter planes to drop pamphlets to persuade them to surrender."
"In addition, I will mobilize all media forces to create some psychological pressure on the companies in Night City and force them to leave Night City on their own initiative."
"Without the company's security forces, Night City will most likely surrender without a fight. They can't let street boys fight on the battlefield, right?"
When talking about this murderous plan, Miles did not forget to stare at Leon deeply, and then she continued with a smile:
"Mr. Leon, I heard that Mayor Lucius Lane is your friend. Can you help me persuade him?"
"If he can surrender earlier, then I can let him continue to be the mayor of Night City. Otherwise, I can't persuade those rude agents of the CIA to do something out of the ordinary."
There are temptations everywhere in Miles' words. She has long heard that the people in Night City Hall are all running dogs raised by LA companies.
Especially Lucius Lane, when he was the local supervisor in Watson District, he had already colluded with Leon, which made Miles have to doubt whether Leon also wanted to participate in politics.
Facing Miles's temptation, Leon still just smiled and said: "Mr. President, I am just an ordinary businessman."
"Except for the people of LA Company, I have no right to interfere with anyone's decision. I don't know whether Mayor Lucius will surrender, and I can't control him."
"I only do business, that's all."
Hearing Leon's almost perfect answer, Miles smiled with satisfaction. This is the answer she wanted to hear. People have to find their own position.
Miles was afraid that Leon would not do business at ease, and wanted to get involved in the Congress of New America, do some politics, and snatch her ruling position.
In her imagination, the best coexistence between New America and LA Company is to do business at ease and engage in arms business.
The other is to firmly control the supreme power. As long as the two complement each other, the new America will be great again!
"Mr. Leon, I like to deal with smart people like you. As long as we can work together, I can assure you that it won't be long before even the European Community will not be our opponent!"
Miles still habitually painted a big pie for Leon, but Leon simply regarded this as fart.
The words of politicians and bitches are worthless and have no credibility at all.
However, from Miles's passionate tone, Leon did perceive a hint of deep meaning. He always felt that Miles' plan might be far more than unifying the North American continent.
Maybe Miles has other plans!
"Mr. President, the EC group is not so easy to deal with. They can even tie a guard dog at your door."
"I heard that your CIA agents have been bitten by this dog recently."
The guard dog that Li Ang mentioned is naturally the Cuban Group, a large criminal organization.
The Aguilar assassin team under their command has caused trouble for the CIA people during this period.
Even many senior executives of military technology companies have been assassinated by Aguilar!
