From ship girl to machine god

For these workers, the resistance is also liberating them. As long as it can make their lives better than before, those who feel the most oppression by the company will definitely spare no effort to support you. "

After Qingniao finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "In addition, Fruit United must have established a management agency in this city, and the people in the city government have also surrendered. After selecting some of these people who have committed heinous crimes and caused public outrage, they will be put on public trial. Kill them, and punish the rest with labor reform and make them work for us.

But you need to be careful not to let these people cause damage or make trouble. Try to choose those who are loyal, reliable, smart and capable to watch them to prevent them from causing any trouble. "

"I know, I'll let someone do it! Don't tell me, there were a lot of people who surrendered yesterday, and I'm having a headache as to what to do!" The leader of the resistance army looked like, 'You've been a big help.'

Qingniao still raised her eyebrows indifferently. What she said can only be regarded as routine operations. If the resistance army was not really inexperienced, they would know how to deal with these things themselves.

Even if Jade Bird didn't say it, the leader of the resistance army would still think of these prisoners, but when he thought of it and whether he thought about it the same as Jade Bird is another matter.

After explaining these problems, Qingniao straightened his expression and continued to say to the leader of the resistance: "We must resume production in the factory as soon as possible. You are not guerrillas now. You can survive on the support and help of the villagers. The resistance must Control this city and at the same time make this city generate economic benefits, so as to support the operation of the resistance.

We must know that every penny we use now comes from the assistance of military technology, which is very detrimental to the resistance and will also keep the resistance under the control of military technology at all times.

That's why I want you to produce your own weapons, resume production and manufacture goods to sell, in exchange for funds to use as military expenses to maintain the operation of the resistance army. "

"You are right. For the resistance army, we must get rid of the control and restraint of military technology." The leader of the resistance army affirmed Jade Bird's words, but asked worriedly: "It's just that we can't do without military technology now. With the support of technology, will they have any ideas if we do this?”

"It doesn't matter if you have ideas. As long as both parties still have common interests and Military Technology believes that the benefits of cooperation are greater than falling out, they will not break up with us. They are happy to see the outcome of this matter even if they can't say it!" Qingniao has a question about Military Technology I will be unhappy but I have enough confidence and prediction.

As for military technology, the rebels can only say that they have made some achievements now, which allows them to see the hope of successful investment. It is time for additional investment. How can they have any impact on the rebels just because of this small move by the rebels? What's your opinion?

From the perspective of military technology, they may also expect the rebels to be responsible for their own profits and losses and make money to maintain their operations.

Because this will reduce the cost of supporting the resistance for military technology, and it will also reduce their risks.

After all, if the resistance can only rely on the assistance of military technology, of course the resistance will be firmly grasped by military technology, but this will mean that military technology will directly come to an end, and it is very likely to trigger a new round of war. Corporate wars.

Therefore, not only is Blue Bird not worried that military technology will fall out, but it feels that they will still help.

Chapter 155 Negotiations with Military Technology

The response of military technology did not exceed Jade Bird's expectations. They really had no intention of falling out with the resistance, and even exceeded Jade Bird's expectations in letting Mia come to Mexico.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to come in person." Standing on the helicopter platform on the roof of a cleared building, Qingniao looked at Mia who got off the floating car and stretched out her hand: "Welcome to Mexico."

"Thank you. I didn't expect you to come to greet me in person. Where are the people from the resistance? Aren't they going to show up?" Mia shook Jade Bird's hand, not having any problems because she didn't see the leader of the resistance. mood.

Qingniao made a gesture of spreading her hands, which combined with her expressionless face was really effective. Mia almost couldn't hold back her laughter before she explained: "The Resistance Army's management cadre reserves are insufficient. All of them are now here." There are too many complicated tasks involved in managing a city.

Each of them has to manage at least two departments, and they really can't spare the time. On the contrary, I, the mercenary leader, only know how to fight, I have nothing to do, and my status is suitable, so I will welcome you. "

What Jade Bird said was half-truth and half-false. It was true that the leaders of the resistance army were too busy to touch the ground, but she was not a mercenary leader who only knew how to fight.

In fact, Qingniao's current identity is the equipment consultant of the resistance army. He is in charge of military production, manages the only military factory of the resistance army, and is responsible for providing weapons and equipment to the army.

It can be said that for the rebels who currently rely on the assistance provided by military technology for all weapons and equipment, it is a top priority for this military factory to be able to operate smoothly and free the rebels from the equipment constraints of military technology.

And the blue bird who can take charge of this matter is naturally also a pivotal figure in the resistance.

Although for most people in the resistance, their understanding of Jade Bird is that she is a mercenary leader, but among the leadership of the resistance, especially the core leaders, they clearly know that Jade Bird is a mercenary leader. It is the core of the resistance that can overthrow corporate rule.

Although Mia didn't know much about the situation within the resistance, she also knew that Blue Bird was by no means such a simple character.

After all, Jade Bird has always been the matchmaker for the cooperation between military technology and the resistance. If she only knows how to fight, how can she accomplish this?

"No need to say such deceptive words anymore. I don't believe that the forces behind you have trained you just to kill you as a mercenary." Mia put her face close to Qingniao and lowered her voice softly. Asked: "What do you want?"

Qingniao looked at Mia's face who was close at hand, tilted his head, glanced at the people around him, and said to Mia: "Let's talk in another place, this person talks too much."

"Then lead the way." Mia also knew that this kind of topic was not suitable to be discussed in such a public place. Just now she was just putting pressure on Jade Bird, and now it is natural that she is willing to talk about it.

The two went downstairs and came to a conference room that had been prepared in advance.

This is the original branch of the Fruit Alliance in this city. It was sealed after being emptied by the resistance forces. As for the resistance forces themselves, they work in the municipal building.

Knowing that people from military technology were coming, Qingniao had people clean up the place and use it as a place for receptions and talks.

After all, this place used to be a branch of Fruit Lianhe Construction. Not only the internal conditions are not bad, the anti-eavesdropping measures in this living room are also good, so it is suitable for talking.

"You have done really well in Mexico, and now you have won a city. The company is very optimistic about investing in you. I am here to discuss the future cooperation between the two parties." After the two parties sat down, After rejecting the irrelevant personnel, Mia told the blue bird the purpose of her trip.

After Qingniao nodded to express his understanding of Mia's intention, he asked directly: "What are your requirements? Or how much military technology do you want to get from Mexico?"

The use of military technology to support the rebels is of course not for charity or to support the resistance of the Mexican people for the sake of justice and freedom, but to gain benefits from Mexico.

"According to the results of the high-level meeting, military technology must at least obtain the arms purchase order from the government after the Mexican rebellion succeeded, and the amount should not be less than 1000 million euros per year." Mia made her first request.

Listening to the conditions put forward by Mia, Qingniao reached out to the small robot beside him, took the data pad it handed over, checked the data, and then shook his head at Mia: "Sorry, even if the rebels can take over the entire Mexico, one day The annual arms purchase of 1000 million euros is still beyond Mexico's affordability.

Mexico's current annual arms purchase quota is about 300 million euros per year, but this is mainly because Mexico is still under the control of Fruit United and has no national defense at all. The 300 million is also used to settle the commissions of mercenaries. . "

The price is high and the money is paid on the spot. Negotiations require back-and-forth and cannot be accomplished overnight. Mia and Jade Bird are just testing each other.

"Such a small amount cannot satisfy the appetite of the company's senior executives." Mia pointedly meant that she was only talking about military technology executives.

"Ten million is impossible and unnecessary." Jade Bird first set a tone, which was affirmed by Mia. Seeing her nod, Jade Bird continued: "At present, you want to win the future of Mexico. military purchase orders, there is no problem.

I can convince the top brass of the rebels to agree to contract Mexico's future military procurement and troop training to you, making Military Technology the only military contractor in Mexico, but the cost requires the future Mexican government to have the financial resources. "

"Will the future Mexican government have such financial resources? So how do you plan to let them have such financial resources?" Mia understood what Jade Bird meant, but did not take advantage of it. Instead, she asked Jade Bird directly.

"It seems that we reached a consensus very quickly." Qingniao was quite approving of Mia's attitude. He raised his eyebrows and then said: "First of all, the resistance is to overthrow the company's rule. This is the legal basis for them to establish the future Mexican government, so it is impossible for the future Mexico to be ruled by companies.

Fruit United has been in Mexico for so many years, making people angry and complaining about the poor livelihood of the people. This is also a shortcoming that needs to be eliminated. Therefore, in the future, there will no longer be any trace of the company in Mexico. "

"There's no trace of the company on the surface, so what's under the surface?" Mia looked at Qingniao with burning eyes. She knew that the real negotiation had just begun.

Chapter 156 Swearing with an expressionless face

In a conference room in the municipal building, all important figures from the resistance leadership were present, while outside the conference room there were layers of sentries and tight security.

At this time, the leadership of the resistance army was listening to the results of Jade Bird's negotiations with military technology. Because the meeting was so important, it set such a high standard.

"Miss Jade Bird, according to your opinion, after we liberate the entire Mexico in the future, will we still be constrained by military technology?" An old-looking resistance leader asked Jade Bird seriously, like an ax chopping a knife. His ordinary facial features make him calm and intimidating, and he has an intimidating aura when he speaks.

However, Jade Bird remained expressionless. After hearing his question and the whispers of others around him, and feeling their dissatisfaction, Jade Bird calmly stated: "It is unrealistic to completely get rid of the company, at least for now. , even if the rebels liberated all of Mexico, they would not be qualified to stop the covetousness of any of the world's top companies.

I don’t need to elaborate on how powerful military technology is. Today’s U.S. federal government has long been integrated with them. Faced with such behemoths all around us, it is unrealistic to completely get rid of their influence. "

After Qingniao said these words, although the resistance leaders in the conference room looked ugly, everyone basically nodded and admitted this.

They also understand that it is already difficult to build a second- or third-rate company like Fruit Alliance, and it needs external assistance to achieve its current results. If they face the world's top military technology, it is conceivable that they will How will he be beaten?

You must know that military technology is famous for its military. Whether it is weapons, equipment or trained troops, Mexico is not capable of blocking it now.

Seeing that everyone had admitted their point of view, Jade Bird continued: "In this case, it would be unwise to fight with Military Technology. Although because we captured the city, Military Technology internally did not support us in liberating Mexico. Things are looking up, but that doesn't mean they're going to support us in overthrowing corporate rule in Mexico.

For companies, interests are the most practical thing. It is completely useless to tell them that the Mexican people are living in dire straits. We must talk to them about interests. "

At this time, another resistance leader raised his hand to speak, interrupting Qingniao's words.

This is a silver-haired woman who looks like she should be of the same generation as old Morgan and the leader of the resistance.

After she raised her hand to interrupt Qingniao, she asked: "Miss Qingniao, we all admit what you said, but the purpose of our resistance army is to overthrow the company's rule. Miss Qingniao, you yourself are also doing this." Now that we have to compromise with military technology, doesn’t it go against our original intention?”

Although the old lady's tone was calm, her words were serious.

Qingniao just waited expressionlessly for her to finish speaking, and then said: "Struggle requires methods. When we are still too weak to fight against our enemies, we need to rely on the enemies of our enemies. the power of.

Even if the enemy's enemy is also our enemy, when there is a conflict between us and the enemy, the enemy's enemy is the force that can be used.

I told you these words before the rebellion started. At that time, you all agreed to cooperate with military science and technology and obtain military science and technology assistance. "

"Yes, we agreed to this, but that was before!" At this time, another younger resistance leader sitting next to the white-haired old lady suddenly spoke aggressively, assuming a tough attitude. Said: "We are different now! The resistance now owns a city. We can produce arms and train our own troops. We no longer need the assistance of military technology! We should be tough to the end and completely break with all corporate forces, and then Down with them! Overthrow their exploitation and oppression of us!"

Looking at the young resistance leader who spoke, Qingniao not only did not have any emotions, he even felt like laughing in his heart.

She could easily see that after the young resistance leader spoke, many of the people sitting around were looking at her tentatively, as if expecting her answer.

This made Qingniao sigh helplessly, and said in a tone that was still emotionless but could make people feel disappointed: "The cause of the rebellious company has just achieved some results, and you are so proud and can't wait. Are they trying to divide their interests and fall into internal strife?

Or do you really think that today’s resistance forces are capable of holding on to this city without the assistance of military technology?Don't be so stupid!Without the assistance of military technology, you would still be chewing leaves in the forest! "

As Qingniao spoke, he floated up, and then cursed at the leaders of the resistance in the conference room.

Even though he was cursing, Qingniao remained expressionless and his tone did not fluctuate: "All the weapons and equipment currently used by the resistance army come from the assistance of military technology, and all the material consumption and military rations used in combat also come from military technology. aid!

Without the assistance of military technology, you will run out of water and food in less than three days, and you won’t even be able to supply bullets!At this level, do you also want to compete with the top three companies in the world?What are you fighting for?Your Tian Ling Gai? "

The effect of Qingniao's expressionless way of reading curses is undoubtedly outstanding, even better than the effect of her swearing at the top of her lungs.

But Qingniao was not satisfied with scolding people. She still presented some facts and truths to these people, trying to save those who could be saved: "We have occupied the city, but has the city generated benefits?

You have been busy for so long these days and have a basic understanding of this city. Do you think you can fight against the company with this city that cannot produce any heavy industrial products?

I won’t talk about military technology. Do you think you can win the counterattack of Fruit Alliance if military technology stops providing assistance now? The latest information V just gave me before the meeting, the Fruit Alliance has assembled more than 3000 troops and is preparing to wipe us out. "

After saying that, Qingniao ignored the resistance leaders who began to change their expressions after hearing the news. He just turned to look at the leader of the resistance and said to him: "I have already negotiated the military technology. You can handle the matters here by yourself." Just deal with it, I can't get involved in the resistance.

As for the encirclement and suppression force, I will deal with it. After that, I will return to Night City. There are some things that I need to deal with there. I will leave Mann and the others to you, but I have to take V with me. "

Chapter 157: Fourteen Minutes of Annihilation Battle

On the road leading to the city occupied by the rebels, a well-dressed army was approaching the city.

They are the Fruit Alliance and their own security forces, plus some war mercenaries hired to fight.

Unlike the marginalized people who take jobs in Night City, most of these war mercenaries are retired veterans of the army. They are more organized, more disciplined, and have stronger combat effectiveness.

After retiring, many former soldiers chose to return to the battlefield because they could not adapt to life after retirement. After accepting employment from security companies, they became war mercenaries who specialized in receiving war commissions.

Most of the Fruit Alliance troops that the rebels encountered in the city were made up of them.

But usually, these war mercenaries are stationed in cities, and their number is not very large. Those stationed in villages, towns or factories outside the city are the local armed forces they are responsible for training.

So strictly speaking, what the resistance army encountered before was only a part of the war mercenaries and the local armed forces they trained, not the main force of the Fruit Alliance's armed forces.

But now that the rebels have captured a city, the nature has changed. In anger, the Fruit Alliance mobilized its most elite security forces, and together with a large number of war mercenaries, formed a peacekeeping force, vowing to crush Destroy all the rebels and take back the city.

Looking at this army that was obviously different from the enemies she had encountered before, Qingniao stood on a hilltop far away from the road. Looking at the march of the army that could still be seen even from such a distance, she felt that There is an impulse awakening in the body.

"The ship is deployed, the Feihong integrated drone pod is deployed, the Yanjia integrated drone command and combat module is online, and all combat drones are released; the Paving Stone electronic warfare suppression module is activated, and all-channel electronic interference is activated."

An emotionless voice issued combat instructions, and the blue bird's body was gradually wrapped in metal. 24 drones of different types were released from the pods, and then completed the formation in the air.

At the same time, the marching Fruit Alliance troops immediately discovered that all their electronic systems had been interfered with, and communications with the outside world were interrupted.

"The reactor output of the entire ship is fully turned on, the electromagnetic shield module of the two instruments is activated, and it switches to point-to-point passive defense mode; the Juque ship-borne plasma projector is charged and enters standby mode."

A light blue energy shield appeared in the air, wrapped around the blue bird's body and then disappeared, leaving only an almost invisible blue light.
