The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 353 The follow-up development of the new century
Night City is considered to be stable, but the external situation is not getting better, but is getting worse day by day.

With the completion of the WorldSat Network, the framework of the Internet has begun to take shape, which is a good thing.

But there is more bad news: the Taurus royal family of the eternal line was suddenly suppressed; the population of the Aegean Sea country suffered a sharp decline after being hit by a consumptive plague; California implemented self-government.

A strange virus in agriculture has attacked the wheat in Maple Leaf, Polar Bear, and Kangaroo Country. The agriculture of these three countries has been destroyed, and Eagle Sauce has become the biggest suspect.

Although the eagle sauce directly blamed Xiatu - because Xiatu is also one of the only countries that has not been affected by crop plant viruses.

Xia Tu's strategy for this is to vigorously promote the new strong-resistant wheat crops developed by the country's crop experts in the 90s, and at the same time establish a biological research center to eliminate the plague that caused the food crisis.

Businesses began to pressure governments to secure land and privileges.As a countermeasure, the Aegean nation's new government has threatened to nationalize corporate assets.

The first business-to-business war broke out in 2005, and Orbital Aerospace poured resources into protecting TWA and fighting EBM, causing delays in the construction of the Crystal Palace space station, the Elysium living quarters for the rich, but What's interesting is that not long after the confrontation, a red net army attacked the networks of both sides and forcibly stopped the war.

In this war between enterprises, Xia Tu mobilized national power to stop the chaos in space. At the same time, she also announced the establishment of her own communication satellite plan - "North Fighting System", which will be officially launched in 2007. A navigation and communication satellite (M1).

The following year, in 2008, the Eagle Nation launched an attack on the Alliance's weapon platform No.13 Mir space station [Mir XIII].The European Space Agency intervened in the conflict, leading to an orbital war between the Euros and the Gringos, and a few weeks later, the Tycho colony on the moon used a mass catapult to launch a mission to Colorado Springs. Rocks are thrown at strategic locations in the city, as well as at other strategically located Eagle Nation states around the world, forcing the Eagle Nation to cease fighting.

However, this did not stop the eyes of the whole world from paying full attention to "Jijing" in the summer. In August, Xiatu Country hosted the Jijing Olympic Games and became the first Asian country to top the gold medal list in Olympic history.

However, the civilized sports culture still hasn't stopped the world from becoming worse. Every corner of the world, except the European Union, Summer Rabbit, and the new alliance, is either in a state of conflict or is falling into the end of conflict.

As Xie Yuan independently released a private army to maintain the stability of the city in Night City for the past three years, other giant companies are also stepping up the establishment of private military forces.

And after two or three years, they each invested in their own territory in Night City, and a new giant crocodile joined the game roulette in Night City—Militech.

Founded in 1996 by Italian weapons designer Antonio Lucessi, then known as Lucessi International Arms Technology, the company was one of the bidders for the new U.S. Army Infantry Assault Weapon Systems contract.

In 1999, General Donal Lundy stepped down as Chief of Staff of the Eagle Nation Marine Corps and accepted an appointment as CEO of Armatech-Luccessi, a New Hampshire-based company.Together with Antonio Luccessi (founder of the company), he laid the solid foundations for the creation of the largest arms manufacturing group in the world.

After a period of rapid development and expansion, the name of Military-Luchesi was discontinued and Militech Arms International was born.

However, unlike the situation that everyone thinks that the two sides are incompatible, the military technology with the background of the Congress has not had any conflicts with Metal Gear with the background of the Four Bureaus after joining Night City to set up a branch.

In fact, the latter did not provoke military technology, which disappointed the audience who were eager to watch the show.

Even in 2004, after the official collapse of the Gang of Four, the military technology company still did not embarrass the Metal Gear Group. They even signed a combat uniform supply agreement that year, but in return, the military technology company was also the second A large corporation with a garrison in Night City.

The third one with a garrison force is the Arasaka Group, but unlike the existing army that has already joined the metal gear and military technology, the Arasaka Group started from scratch, first recruiting mercenaries, and then building and training them step by step systematic.

Xie Yuan also had the idea of ​​building a private army from scratch—but it was unrealistic, Xie Yuan did not have such a huge economic strength and surrounding influence, and now he is only willing to join in the talent training system under Night City candidates.

Moreover, Xie Yuan found that his every move was even imitated by others—there is a plan to set up a primary school/high school/high school attached to XXX enterprise next to every giant company around Night City.

At this time, Xie Yuan realized that he had also become the object of constant attention of various giant companies invisibly, as if he had been completely hidden in the society in the past, it was impossible.

……

But it's just that the "stand-in" can no longer be free, and in the blink of an eye, the transformed River has grown from a green kid in 86 to...a middle-aged bald man-this is impossible.

At this time, he became even more handsome and attractive, especially with a pair of piercing black onyx eyes, and wearing a bartender's slim shirt, exuding a special sexy appeal.

However, his elder brother Johnny Yinshou inherited it better. After Xie Yuan officially manipulated the "stand-in" to enter the political stage of Night City in 2000, Johnny also embarked on the road of a modern poet-rock boy .

His rebellion manifested itself in the form of a band called Samurai.Samurai Band is made up of the following members: Johnny Silverhand, Kerry Orodion, Danny, Nancy/Bes Isis, and Henry.He and his band climbed to the top of the hit charts with incredible speed.

Unfortunately, Samurai's keyboard player Nancy was suffering from domestic violence at the time.Until one day, Nancy couldn't bear it anymore and pushed her bad boy boyfriend out of the window, and she was also jailed for it.Without her, the band disbanded in 2008.

But Johnny Silverhand was, after all, one of the most popular singers at that time. He planned to start a solo career and use his influence to continue to implement his anti-corporate and anti-government philosophy. DBS Music Company tried hard to sign Silverhand. So much so that it started to threaten him and later even developed into extortion.He actually used the threat of exposing his identity as a rebel to force him to submit.

Because after the incident in 93, Johnny, who felt that he was not perfect, resolutely stepped into Central America to help the fleeing veterans return to the country. As time passed, he became what people said and was promoted by the government as a "rebel" of villains. One of the best.

If Johnny's identity as a rebel is exposed, he is very likely to be arrested by the government, and even rejected by the public.

However, Johnny Silverhand signed with Universal Music and released an album titled "SINS of Your Brothers".In the album he not only admits his identity as a rebel but also exposes all kinds of terrible crimes committed by the government.The album was a smash hit, changing public perception of the Rebels.

But fame goes to fame, Johnny's personal morals are notoriously bad, sex and drugs, manic depression, lawlessness, messing with men and women again and again, of course this also made him a legendary rock boy.

After talking about Johnny, let’s talk about Rui Fan (Xie Yuan’s body) himself. When Colorado City, the predecessor of Night City, was just built, Xie Yuan laundered some private money and bought a large piece of real estate.

Now there are several big bars in Night City: Expendables (Central American style), Afterlife (mercenary agency), Metal Storm (dangerous heavy metal rock band, real estate belongs to Metal Gear), Night Owl (the most normal and calmest bar ) and Atlantis, the largest bar in Night City at the moment, all of them belong to Xie Yuan.

Part of the property rights are only the "Dance of Death" of Death Lottery and the "short circuit" opened by a network hacker.

Atlantis is Xie Yuan's current resident, a classic "fern bar" (School: upscale bar for singles) known as a "meeting place for corporate people" and "mercenaries looking for jobs The place".

Xie Yuan sometimes acts as a temporary bartender here, but most of the time Xie Yuan continues to do the task of "mercenary".

Yes, Xie Yuan is a mercenary, but his ostensible occupation is still a bartender, although he has hardly worked a month.

However, unlike the boring mercenary who is sitting on the seat waiting for the employment contract at the moment, Xie Yuan has always been called to come to his door, because the mask that Xie Yuan wears is called a private law enforcer (Vigilante). , referred to as "V".

Yes, this is Xie Yuan's current occupation. Since 2000, he has been ranked No. 1 on the Night City Mercenary List as the strongest and most mysterious masked mercenary for 13 consecutive years.

Of course, it's not that no one knows this secret. Take the gangster girl sitting in front of him as an example, she already knew it.

Wearing a white T-shirt and a sequined jacket, she is in her 20s, but she is the best on the street, only second to the "V" mercenary, who has been ranked second since 2008, in fact the first mercenary.

Her name is Roger.
