Chapter 69 Power Armor Competition!
Just as Li Ang was planning how to make good use of these resources, the President of New America, Rosalind Miles, called him an encrypted holographic phone call.
[Mr. Li Ang, you are fine. You seem to be very happy. Did something good happen to you? 】
Since the death of Elizabeth Kress due to the attack of the AI Soul Killer, with the full cooperation of LA Company, Miles, a strong woman, has quickly rectified the mess with a tough attitude.
Today, while serving as a military technology company executive and as the new president of NUSA, she can be called the most powerful woman in America.
"Overall, it's not bad. What about you? It must be difficult for Your Excellency, the President, to deal with executives from military technology companies and those old guys in Congress at the same time."
Among so many powerful people, Miles is one of the few ruthless characters recognized by Li Ang. This old woman's political methods are quite tough and decisive, and she can be regarded as the master of ZTE.
But it was of no use when he encountered Li Ang who was cheating.
[It’s not easy. I made a special trip to call you this time, not just to catch up with you. You have to help me do something big, something very important! 】
Miles's temperament was as straightforward as ever. Before she even had a word with Li Ang, she went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit.
"Are Arasaka's agents using the AI soul killer to cause trouble for you again? If so, I can provide you with an AI network firewall to prevent Little Beidou's plan from failing."
Li Ang said.
Although he knew that Military Technology was secretly implementing the Little Beidou Project, Li Ang did not know the specific progress of this plan because it was Military Technology's first company project.
Even though Li Angzun is the major shareholder of Military Technology, he has no right to know the details of this project, but he doesn't bother to know.
After all, the wandering AI that military technology can capture is definitely incomparable to LA Company's AI Red and White Queen.
[Thank you for your concern, but the help I want is not the technical needs of AI, but the power armor! 】
From Miles' tone, Li Ang could tell that the other party's need was very strong, as if he couldn't wait to get this treasure out of him right away.
"Power armor... Why, our company's power armor isn't enough?" Li Ang asked back.
In fact, LA Company's military technology giant template also includes military equipment such as power armor. Although there are not many types, they are definitely enough.
In addition, among the shareholders within the Military Technology Company, there is also a small company that specializes in manufacturing power armor, and that is the Meta Group!
Meta Group is a military industrial company formed by a group of homeless veterans from the United States. Their area of expertise is power armor devices.
Moreover, their technical level is almost the same as the current LA company's power armor, and the two can even be said to be on par.
This is normal, because the source of the power armor device technology in the LA company's military technology template is the Meta Group!
[Victoria Meta told me that your LA company’s power armor devices are highly similar to theirs, and I suspect you used AI spies to steal their power armor data. 】
When Miles said this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead and looked very helpless.
Victoria is the granddaughter of Jonathan, the founder of the Meta Group. She is similar in age to her and is also an elite lady in her thirties.
The relationship between Miles and Victoria can also be called a pair of close friends.
The two have similar backgrounds and are both senior executives of military technology companies, so it makes sense for them to become friends.
But Victoria Meta's character was inherited from her grandfather's. She was stubborn and irritable, the type that even ten cows could not pull back.
Since she suspected that Li Ang had stolen the information about Meta Group's power armor device, she must be planning a serious arms competition!
"Your Excellency, this is completely nonsense. This is Ms. Victoria's slander against me. Who said power armor devices can't be similar? Our LA company has so many good things that there is no need to steal them."
Li Ang responded shamelessly and without any psychological burden. Even if he really stole Meta Group's power armor data through AI, Victoria would have nothing to do with him.
Who told the Mehta Group to only have such a technology point? Compared with LA Company, which has many industries under its subsidiaries, Victoria Mehta, that old woman, even if she refuses to accept it, she has to swallow this bad breath obediently.
[Leon, of course I believe you will not steal Meta Group’s data, but Military Technology’s current power armor orders are basically controlled by the two of you.
Now several states in the eastern part of New America are causing trouble under the instigation of the Arasaka Company and the Cubans. I must have powerful enough power armor to form a commando team to deal with those traitors! 】
Miles' tone was very impassioned, and her movements showed the strong demeanor of a superior. The purpose of her call could not be more obvious.
LA Company must compete with Meta Group for power armor arms orders!
Sure enough, before Li Ang could speak, Rosalind Miles confessed the situation to Li Ang:
[Leon, from now on, the power armor orders in New America only belong to one company, either you or Victoria Meta. 】
After hearing this sentence, Li Ang was thoughtful.
The current New America is indeed unable to launch a large-scale war. It is more in line with Miles' actual needs to adopt a small-scale operation with fixed-point blasting mainly based on the power armor team.
After all, in a local battlefield, a power armor soldier can face an entire cyber squad of the enemy alone, and one person can beat ten without any problem!
But Leon does not think that Miles only prompted the two companies to compete for orders in order to quell the rebellion.
'This old woman has ulterior motives! '
Leon has guessed Miles's real purpose. She said that the two companies were competing for orders, but in fact she was planning to clean up the internal executives of military technology.
Originally, LA Company and Meta Group did a good job in power armor orders, and they did not interfere with each other.
As a result, Victoria Meta suddenly had nothing to do and had to come to trouble Leon. No one would believe that no one instructed this.
Most likely Miles deliberately made trouble in the middle.
If LA wins the order competition from the internal shareholders of Military Technology, then the Meta Group will be kicked out by Miles and the corresponding shares of the company will be taken back.
With the advanced power armor device of LA, the rebels in the eastern part of New America will also be suppressed, and Miles will complete the task of suppressing the rebellion.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
If the Meta Group wins, then the LA Company will lose the order for the power armor device, and Miles will support the Meta Group to compete with Li Ang!
No matter what the result of this competition is, President Miles, as a trader, will never lose. This is the means and consciousness of top politicians.
