Chapter 40: Do big things with little money!

"Mr. Congressman, sometimes ordinary things are the most deadly." The silent Morgan Blackhand suddenly spoke, staring at Lucius with a pair of sharp eyes like a black wolf.

"It's like the Desert Eagle pistol I carry with me. On the surface, it doesn't look as good as any weapon of LA Company, but many big shots have died in its hands."

"Are you interested in learning more?"

Morgan Blackhand's words immediately made Lucius feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, as if he had returned to the day when he was hunted by Royce.

A sense of oppression of death was coming!

"Mr. Leon, what is his relationship with our NCPD?" Lucius's face had become a little ugly.

He didn't understand why Leon mentioned Morgan Blackhand, a mercenary. Could it be that he wanted Morgan to join the NCPD? This is impossible!

Morgan Blackhand doesn't look like someone who would come to the NCPD to be a hard-working cop. This doesn't fit his temperament and style at all.

"It's a little bit of a relationship."

Li Ang smiled and got straight to the point: "I will soon build a professional mercenary company in Watson District and recruit mercenaries from all over Night City."

"At that time, I will do business with middlemen all over the city, and will provide those mercenaries with the most basic survival guarantees and employment benefits."

"And Morgan Blackhand is the image spokesperson of our company's mercenary department and the chief instructor of mercenaries!"

After the voice fell, the alert Detective River had roughly guessed Li Ang's true thoughts. He stared at Li Ang with his eyes wide open in astonishment and said:

"Could it be that... you plan to let the police officers of the NCPD go to the LA company to participate in the training of mercenaries?"

As an old detective of the Watson NCPD, River has come into contact with many dignitaries, including some company executives who tried to invest in the NCPD.

Their purpose is also very simple and clear, that is, to use money to corrupt the NCPD and let the police in Night City serve them.

But the target of their investment is not ordinary police, but the police in the terrorist mobile team!

"Yes."

Li Ang did not hide anything and directly told Lucius: "As long as the police of the NCPD come to LA company regularly to participate in the joint training of mercenaries, they can receive an extra salary."

"In their spare time, they can also complete mercenary tasks and earn some extra money."

"If a policeman is injured or sick due to participating in the company's training, LA company will provide corresponding medical support funds."

"In addition, they can also get a free firearm of LA company every three months. After one year of training, they will get a brand new prosthetic device according to their training results!"

The benefits provided by Li Ang are quite generous. Even River, who doesn't trust the company very much, can't help but think about it for a moment. He seems unable to refuse such conditions.

After all, who would dislike having too much money?

'LA company... is it really so kind! '

Detective River remained cautious, thinking carefully about Leon's real purpose.

The NCPD of Night City is an independent law enforcement department, and its attitude towards the instructions of the City Hall is basically "obeying orders but not announcements".

And within the NCPD of Night City, there is another independent law enforcement department, the Terrorist Mobile Team.

The attitude of these three parties towards each other is that no one is submissive to the other, and each of them will do their own "small business" behind each other's backs.

For example, the council members of the City Hall will build good relationships with the executives of major companies and actively attract funding for Night City. They are responsible for the dignitaries and celebrities from all over the world.

And the ordinary police officers of the NCPD are, to put it bluntly, public security personnel with low status. When the superiors are short of money, the first thing to cut is the expenditure budget of the NCPD.

This also leads to the worrying combat effectiveness of the police of the NCPD, and the police officers are basically a bunch of drunkards.

When they have no money, they will even ask the old hands of the Sixth Street Gang to do some private work, secretly doing some smuggling of firearms and illegal drugs.

In short, it is so miserable to work in the NCPD!

It is precisely because of this that Senator Lucius, who is in urgent need of progress, will come here to make political achievements, so that he can rise to prominence in the future.

As for the special department of the Terrorist Mobile Team, they are an elite police force invested and supported by many companies, and they have their own responsible areas all over the world.

But the quality of the Terrorist Mobile Team in each area is different. For example, in Watson, a city full of unfinished buildings, the elite Terrorist Mobile Team simply disdains to come here.

Therefore, this place has also become a gathering place for criminals and gang thugs, and the bad result is that the living environment in Watson District is getting worse and worse, and it is urgently needed for corporate forces to clear it out!

"This idea... seems to be good!"

After listening to it, Lucius' eyes suddenly lit up.

He knew that if LA did this, it would lead to the company's influence infiltrating the Watson NCPD branch, which was almost the same as poaching directly.

But no one would care!

If Night City's City Hall really cared about the NCPD, it would not give the cut funds to the cyber lunatics of the Terrorist Squad.

These NCPD police officers would not partner with gang members to smuggle, and would try every means to find street kids and vagrants to extort money.

"Mr. Congressman, Detective River, I believe you are very clear about the current predicament of Watson NCPD. You do not have enough budget to support the daily training and training of police officers."

"At present, even the most basic salary guarantee cannot be achieved, but our LA company can help you solve this problem!"

Leon's words went straight to the depths of the souls of the two. This is the interest resource that Watson NCPD urgently needs, and now only LA company can give it to them!

Seeing Lucius's excitement and River's half-belief and half-doubt, Leon knew that the matter was basically settled.

The reason why he was willing to spend money to integrate the mercenaries and police officers of Night City's NCPD Bureau was to use one of the largest group forces in this city to create a security force belonging to LA Company.

Corporate security forces are one of the standard features that every giant company should have!

The security forces of Arasaka Company are carefully selected children from all over the world, and they have been professionally trained as ninjas and brainwashed since childhood, but this is too costly and takes too long.

If LA Company wants to have its own security forces, the best and fastest way is to integrate the mercenaries and policemen in Night City and infiltrate them into LA Company.

The biggest advantage of doing this is: low expenses!

After all, mercenaries can usually make money by taking jobs from middlemen, and the policemen in the NCPD Bureau also have money allocated by the City Hall to pay their salaries.

Leon only needs to pay one more fee, guarantee their medical insurance, and give them some "free" weapons and equipment, so that they can be willing to work for the company.

And Leon can also select some good seedlings from these professionals and incorporate them into his elite team as the company's elite security force!

This is to do big things with little money.
