In an abandoned apartment building near the Sapphire Building in Dog Town, a tall, burly man wearing a bulletproof windbreaker stood by the window, watching with deep eyes the wonderful performance unfolding in the hotel building not far away.
A total of three armed helicopters were hovering in the sky around the hotel building, like frightened birds hovering on the branches of a tree. The armed firepower systems on board were simply a nightmare for those on the ground.
No one dares to show up in front of this steel monster. With today's simple AI-assisted fire control system aiming, the helicopter's artillery and missiles can completely shorten the hit error to less than half a meter.
Unless the enemy is fast enough to escape the helicopter's lock, an error of just half a meter can be regarded as a fatal mistake in the eyes of a sniper. However, in the face of the helicopter's artillery and missiles, this small error is enough to be ignored.
With these three helicopters controlling the field, the Nether Dog reinforcements coming from the ground will inevitably encounter difficulties.
On the battlefield, the ground is always at a disadvantage against the air. This is an eternal truth. Obtaining air superiority is often the key to winning a war.
Now these three armed helicopters were the huge obstacles in front of them. They tried to use the machine guns and ground-attack missiles on the ground armed vehicles to fight against the helicopters, but all the firepower could not reach the high-altitude helicopters.
Even if an anti-air missile is fired, the helicopter pilot can use his superb driving skills to avoid the missile in time, or use the helicopter's countermeasures device to detonate the incoming missile in advance.
On the contrary, several armed vehicles that arrived were directly hit by the helicopter's artillery because they were unable to dodge, and were turned into scrap metal on the spot.
However, the ammunition carried by the helicopter was limited after all, and they could not waste precious artillery fire on these minions at will, nor on the main body of the building.
As long as sufficient ammunition is retained, the air threat will still exist for the Ghost Dog troops. They must think twice before taking any action, which will greatly delay time.
But this situation cannot last long. If the famous Nether Dog troops in Dog Town are stumped by three armed helicopters, this group of people will not be able to rule Dog Town for so long.
Their people must hurry up!
[There was a slight accident during the operation on the 99th floor. We underestimated the strength of the security personnel there. Now the attack team has encountered stubborn resistance, and it is impossible to eliminate all resistance forces in a short time]
At this time, a pleasant female voice came into the ears of the tall and muscular man.
His lips moved, and the dark skin and short beard around his mouth also moved. Under his deep eyes was a heavy expression.
After pondering for a few seconds, the man finally spoke:
[In this case, Xiao Song, I will trouble you next]
[It should have been like this a long time ago. Why were you hesitating before? Li De] The woman asked indifferently.
[I was worried that you would fall deeper and deeper... To be honest, since the incident seven years ago, I have been lurking here in Night City, and I never thought that I could fight together with you] Li De
·Solomon’s tone was slightly emotional.
[Are you still blaming me for betraying you?] A woman's question came from the other end of the communicator, her voice cold and ruthless.
[It used to be strange, but now that it has been so long, I can understand your motivations at that time. It is normal for people in our industry to be involuntarily, but I still didn't expect... Miles actually
She will let you install such a dangerous thing. If this comes out, she will immediately abdicate in favor of someone else!] Li De spoke in a serious tone.
[This matter has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is follow the order. You only need to be responsible for Miles for this action, that's all!] The woman's tone was calm, and the man's slightly reminiscing words seemed
It couldn't touch her emotions at all.
You have changed a lot...Xiao Song.
Li De sighed, feeling that the Song Zhaomei he knew in the past and the Song Zhaomei now were two different people. As a senior, he once led the other person to join the Federal Intelligence Investigation Agency. For a certain period of time, their relationship was like that of a father and daughter.
So close.
But now...
Thinking of this, Li De couldn't help but recall what happened a few days ago.
——At a time when great changes are taking place within Arasaka Company and the company's power structure is undergoing changes, such a world-shaking event cannot be concealed from competitors such as Military Technology and Shinmei.
So the new US President Miles began to officially activate his "secret sentry" who had been left in Night City for 7 years. For unknown reasons, he suddenly ordered him to lead an attack team to prepare for a surprise attack on the Sapphire Building.
And the president also gave him a death order, and the action can only be officially launched when the time is right.
As for what the "ripe time" is, Li De is at a loss. He can only use his remaining connections and abilities to secretly arrange the attack force sent by President Miles.
Place the attack troops in various places in Dog Town while you are awake.
It was not until tonight, after it was clear that Kangtao personnel would arrive at the Sapphire Blue Building to discuss cooperation with Hansen, that the order to carry out the operation was finally issued.
Even now, Li De still can't figure out why Miles chose to take action against Kangtao Company in an attempt to sabotage the cooperation between Kangtao and Gouzhen.
After all, the interests of both parties are intertwined. They have gone through so much trouble and risked exposing themselves just to destroy such a cooperation. The investment and return in action are obviously not proportional.
Although I don’t know what Miles’ purpose is, he is still a member of the CIA and must be responsible for the president’s orders.
...Even if the order from above is for him to step into a trap called "death", he must convince himself to go in.
"Let's focus on the mission."
Li De sighed again and continued to look out the window, looking at the movement of the Sapphire Blue Building in the distance. After finding that the situation outside the building was relatively stable, he then moved his gaze indoors.
In the corner next to the window, there is a table with a computer monitor on it.
With Xiao Song's help, the picture on the display screen happened to be the surveillance camera on the 99th floor of the Sapphire Green Hotel.
The cameras they originally took over and controlled were scattered throughout the 99th floor, allowing him to have an overview of the entire situation in this small apartment.
But now he must have been discovered by someone from the other side. All the cameras on the 99th floor were destroyed, so he could only observe the situation on the scene through the chest cameras of the combatants.
From the beginning, he never thought about how high the success rate of this operation would be. Just relying on the sophisticated equipment and prosthetic bodies of the combatants, he wanted to completely wipe out the Nether Dog sergeants who were more numerous and had good combat literacy.
With Kang Tao security personnel, there is no doubt that it is impossible.
If he were present, there would still be a lot of chances of winning, but for the sake of follow-up planning, he could not risk his life in this operation.
Fortunately, with Xiao Song's help, there is almost no possibility of failure in this operation.
After all, that little girl... is equipped with a black wall AI that can make people look bad...
...
...
PS: Let me reiterate, the black wall AI in the game actually refers to the AI outside the black wall, not the black wall itself. This can be seen on the computer next to the network access warehouse acquisition location in [Chapter 6 of Military Technology].
