Chapter 156 A Small Sponsorship from an International Arms Dealer
Saul couldn't sit still. He had to find a way to reverse this situation, otherwise the feeling of letting down his people would be even worse than killing him.
They need to hold a meeting to determine the future direction and policy of action.
Lille agreed to Sol's request, but before that, he had to make a phone call.
In the equipment room, Carol re-opened the car and connected the wires. Dakota's people were also playing with the wires.
Making a phone call in the bad land is a very troublesome thing, and it can be divided into two situations.
One is short-range communication. This type only requires sending and receiving equipment between the communicators to achieve communication.
For example, Lille’s new cyber modulator has the function of sending messages.
The device Regina gave him can directly connect to the cellular network in the city, communicate with the NCPD network, and can also transmit communication signals over short distances.
As can be seen from the functions of the cellular cyber modulator, there is another type of communication that requires the use of communication base stations.
The Rangers themselves have signal base station equipment to facilitate their people to communicate in the bad land, but it will be more troublesome to communicate with people in Night City across hundreds of kilometers.
This requires special messaging equipment. As a middleman in the Badlands, Dakota has it, and she also knows how to contact people in the city secretly.
After Dakota confirmed that the equipment was normal, he said to Lear:
"The person you want to communicate with is in Taiping State - he also took over the things, and everyone on the street calls him Mr. Hands. , a mysterious guy, I can't see through him.
Are you sure you want to contact him? The local gang there, the Voodoo Gang, is a group of unpredictable and neurotic hackers, especially the people in Dog Town. It has something to do with military technology.”
"I'm sure."
Taiping Prefecture is located in the south of Night City. When Night City is booming, developers and the city government plan to develop it into a tourist destination, providing wonderful tourism enjoyment and attracting tourists from all over the world. Immigrants and tourists from all over the world show the richness of Night City.
However, while the construction of Taiping Prefecture was in full swing, the new United States launched a war of unification——
In this world, the United States had been divided into several independent countries, and until the early 1960s, Only then began to re-plan for unification.
This unification intensified into war in the final stage, so the war sweeping across the North American continent was also called the Unification War.
During the war, Southern California was incorporated into the new United States, while the Northern California Free State wanted to remain independent, and war was imminent.
In 2070, an elite military science and technology unit received an order to capture a strategic location in Taiping Prefecture, and followed the order to wait for attack instructions.
However, after this, the attack instructions never came, and the new United States instead signed a peace agreement with the Northern California Free State.
This military technology unit was waiting for an order to retreat - and their commander, Colonel Hansen, refused to obey the order.
As a result, this place has become a strange place. Strictly speaking, this is a war zone and an area occupied by military technology, but both warring parties have signed a peace agreement.
Night City didn't dare to take action, and military technology couldn't be persuaded to come back, so this place became a gray area.
Now, several years later, Hansen has completely occupied this territory and relied on the economically developed Night City to develop a super black market with international influence.
The situation became more complicated. The original enemies and superiors no longer knew how to deal with it, so they simply stopped talking about it in the media.
As for the relationship between Dog Town, Night City, and military technology, outsiders can only regard it as a confused account——
But no matter what, on the surface, Hansen and the people he led The Ghost Dog troops are still in military technology battle order.
This is why Dakota feels that Lear's idea is quite dangerous and unreliable.
On the surface, in this era where the flow of important information is extremely hindered, in this era where invalid information is flying everywhere, it is said that most people have little awareness of the things around them. Dogtown is far less well understood than Lille.
She only knows that Dog Town is a lawless place and an international black market. Although it is openly hostile to Night City, it is inextricably related to military technology.
But Lille knew that if the enemy was military technology, and other companies acquiesced in military technology's behavior - then the only one who could really help him was Hansen.
Hansen is a pretty typical soldier. Although he has started a business, he generally does not mess with his old boss, but in his heart he actually hates the president of the new United States.
If there was a chance to kill that old bitch, he wouldn't mind doing it hard. Therefore, as long as Lille can bring him appropriate benefits, he will never mind sponsoring Lille to kill the power of military technology.
In the end, Hansen was not satisfied with being trapped in Dog Town. A top mercenary team allowed him to influence the outside world. A trapped hero like him had no reason to refuse.
A person like him would definitely not come to the door directly, nor could he say that Lille came to the door and he would just nod and agree to cooperate.
Why else would we need a middleman?
Leal inserted the personal link into the communication device.
Correspondent: Mr. Hands.
Mr. Hands: "Finally, the new mysterious legend in Night City called me. This phone call is worth thousands of gold, but I won't use this to exchange for money, you can rest assured. ”
Lear: "Let's get down to business. If I have hot goods, can you go to Badland to pick them up?"
Mr. Hands: "It depends on what kind of goods it is. The current logistics The cost is not low.”
Lear: "Don't you want to know the truth about military technology and biotechnology? What is said in the news is full of fuel and jealousy. Who knows whether it is true or not?"
Lear: "And...my hand There are some additional technologies in it, and there may be supporting equipment in the near future."
Mr. Hands: "Well, you have stumped me. I am becoming more and more curious about you. I want to find a place to talk about it now."
Mr. Hanz: "Can you give me more information? What are these technologies about? I heard that there were lizard people there that night? It’s like a fairy tale.”
Liel: “The first question is about pharmaceutical technology. The second question is, this is not free.”
Mr. Hands: "What do you want?"
Lille: "Money, preferably supplies, those things that are most in short supply in Dog Town."
Mr. Hands : "In that case, I can prepare it for you, but you have to find someone to pick it up - unless you are in Taiping Prefecture. Finally, the price will be discussed separately."
Lille: "Easy to say - —The answer to the second answer is just a deposit. There are indeed lizardmen, but it has nothing to do with us, and it probably has nothing to do with the Nightingale Project in the news. We are lucky enough to have met the Living King of Hell."
Mr. Hanz: "I understand, that's awesome. Just use this channel to send me what you want. I'll prepare it for you right away."
Mr. Hands: "By the way, I also have some additional information for you: People from Kangtao have been asking questions here in Taiping Prefecture recently. Have you worked for them before?"
Lille: "Having done it in Santo Domingo - do you think they can ask for something?"
Mr. Hands: "In my opinion, it's unlikely. This is Taiping Prefecture."
Lille: "Ha--yes, that's Taiping Prefecture. That's it for today. I'll look back later. I’ll contact you again.”
Mr. Hands: “Okay.”
After the conversation ended, Lear digested the information revealed in the conversation.
This cooperation is more of a transaction and a trial.
Hansen’s real appeal should be to find ways to expand his influence. The second appeal is to help him divert some attention if the outside world becomes chaotic.
Since Hanz did not hesitate to sell arms, it means that Hansen has made his attitude clear.
Obviously he is more willing to meet the second demand here in Lille, so he is more willing to help in the form of trade:
Selling arms regardless of military technology controls.
This is already considered a very good support, and in the eyes of a tough guy officer like Hansen, the possibility of providing arms is already a considerable help.
For wanderers, there are not many opportunities to buy high-quality military supplies at ultra-low prices.
The only problem is who will transport the things - Lille has someone in mind.
Liel sorted out his thoughts and walked towards Sol's tent.
