Chapter 846 Attacking the Big Mac
"A series of car accidents occurred on the highway outside Bremen."
"Today, a communication abnormality occurred on this highway section. It is reported that the equipment abnormality was caused by line overload."
"EBM stated that due to the approaching typhoon, this highway section, as the main logistics transportation channel in Hamburg, has been operating at high load for several months, and abnormalities are inevitable."
"This abnormality caused an EBM universal signal station drone to fall and an unmanned transport truck to derail, resulting in a series of car accidents."
"Since the scene showed that the first victim was a member of the Special Political Committee for Cyberpsychiatry who was on his way to Bremen, Interpol has intervened in the matter to ensure that there will be no involvement of EBM Burger behind the incident."
"The Special Remediation Committee has recently reported worker demonstrations and strikes in major industrial cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and other regions."
EBM Hamburg, the headquarters of the EBM company is located here.
Such a tragic car accident did not kill the people in the car. This incident completely exceeded the CEO's expectations!
Bang!
"They're not dead!"
The relative impact speed of a 300-kilogram drone may be upwards of 160 kilometers per hour. Such a devastating car accident didn't kill them all at once? !
Although the news did not report it, the performance of the Mackinac Mammoth in the car accident has spread throughout Europe!
Even the CEO of EBM was surprised when he saw this scene: It was a broken pickup truck, not a tank!
[Board of Directors: Interpol has begun investigating whether you have tampered with it. Due to political needs, Hamburg will not allocate more resources to you. 】
[Board of Directors: Have you dealt with all the relevant persons? 】
The CEO calmed down his emotions: "It's all taken care of."
[Board of Directors: Very good, you only have one task now: the committee will stay in Bremen for five days. Most of the workers have already begun to try to resign and kill the committee members before the situation completely deteriorates. 】
[Board of Directors: Don’t miss it again this time. There is only one chance to take action in the city. 】
".I want to know how far I can go?"
[Board of Directors: The European Community now seems to be planning to crack down on our industries outside of Hamburg, so you can use any means——]
[Board of Directors: But there is only one chance. 】
"I understand."
Cyberpsychosis event?
EBM is not a small and medium-sized enterprise like ADL and Eurotunnel. Killing a few people does not have any psychological burden on them, and the European Community cannot arrest people because of this.
So when the committee entered Bremen, the game point was no longer "find witnesses and then testify."
The game point is: EBM cannot interfere with workers’ freedom to leave the company, but they can try to assassinate committee members
Of course, the European Community will ask EBM not to disrupt order, but if all the work is accomplished in one battle, no matter how loud the movement is, how can they continue to advance if everyone is dead?
[Bryce: You actually survived? ! 】
[Lille: Fortunately, the EC car arrived in time. If it had been a few seconds later, it would have been smashed into dust by the drone. 】
[Lille: I’ll give you the first credit. 】
[Bryce: But you may not be able to find the witnesses you want. They dare to intercept and kill you on the highway]
[Lille: So this mission is either to find witnesses or to engage in EBM. 】
When the committee arrived in Bremen, they passed through many other small and medium-sized cities, but Bryce did not have this need. He had already arrived in Bremen in advance. He had been at the workers' forum all the time. When Elliot and his group lost contact, he realized the problem and immediately triggered the alarm. Otherwise, the situation might have been different a few seconds later.
Lear's response stunned Bryce: Doing EBM?
EBM is a super enterprise that existed a century ago. When the European Barrier was just beginning to be built, it acquired the city of Hamburg and the surrounding land, and started building Hamburg almost at the same time as the European Barrier was built.
Not only that, EBM also announced that Hamburg is an independent country united with the European Community.
Because EBM's economic size was too strong, and it also launched the first corporate war, fighting back and forth with Orbital Airlines in the sky, the European Community at that time had to treat this company with caution and established a European Council Under the instruction of the Council, Europol strictly distinguished EBM Company from EBM Hamburg.
With the subsequent corporate wars, especially the fourth corporate war between Military Technology and Arasaka, the European Community took the opportunity to nationalize Arasaka's assets in Europe, expand the level of military preparation, and add When the United States collapsed, the European Community became stronger.
It is so powerful that sometimes when a company wants to be on an equal footing with the European Community, they already have some complaints.
Dealing with Eurotunnel and ADL only requires a few witnesses to appear in court and pretend to testify. That's because the EC is fully capable of crushing small businesses, and they know it.
There is a reason, and this reason is a way for companies to show compliance: if a new company comes up, the new company will definitely abide by order, because the committee abides by order.
But if the old companies are willing to follow the baton and change the generation rules regardless of the cost, it is not impossible for them to not move, and it can be regarded as giving the committee an explanation——
If you want to make a big move, you can't keep looking at small businesses to harvest wool. Only by moving the battlefield to Bremen will the European Community continue to support this action.
The nationalization of Arasaka cost them a fortune, so wouldn't the nationalization of EBM companies be the same?
The game within this system is very awkward, with both sides on the verge of restraint and anger.
But overall, Lille doesn't care: he's here to make a scene.
"EBM dares to directly attack political officials within the European Community!"
Severns punched the back of the front seat hard, and everyone else's eyes were full of fear.
Although the process of taking down Eurotunnel and ADL was a bit thrilling, it was not that thrilling.
In the final analysis, companies kill people, start wars, and are lawless. These ideas are indeed the reason why they hate companies, and they are also ideas that the European Community is willing to shape. However, as citizens of the European Community, it is difficult for them to truly face them. A cruel side to the company.
Although they don't realize it: because this is not Night City, and they are not from Night City, the company cannot use those cruel methods.
But these are the real super companies. In order to make profits and monopolize, they can even launch a war that sweeps the world.
Using violent means to directly kill "imperial agents" like the Special Political Committee on Cyberpsychiatry sounds crazy to Severs and Elliot, who have been observing the law all their lives, and to the low-level mercenary Alina, but it is completely different from the veteran mercenaries. Bing was expected.
Click, click, click, click—
The Mackinac kept making a rattling sound, the engine was emitting black smoke, the body was constantly vibrating, and the outer body structure also had many potholes and obvious deformations, making it look very tattered.
But it is this effect that keeps those workers motivated.
Workers holding signs crowded both sides of the street. Some even jumped for joy, but they all stayed behind the local Bremen police.
Looking at the workers below, Elliot instantly thought of the key to the problem:
"They can intercept and kill us directly, but can't they just kill the witnesses and destroy their bodies and traces?"
[Lille: So our visit this time is to directly interfere with the normal production of EBM and go to the small and medium-sized enterprise area. 】
