Militech Chronicles VI

Crynn POV

"How short?" I asked because some times, wars no matter short is still pretty long because wars involve reason, cause, action and solution, all of which can be complicated. "Don't worry, it's short enough, won't take a few minutes," Aria amiably said with a smile and Calian crossed his legs, relaxed, and up for a story.

"These so called free states are actually backed up by Arasaka and surprise surprise, a non-communist Soviet Union, yeah you heard that right. But this backing is not substantial and it's more of a backing in words than action because none of their help showed up to defend the free states when they are under Militech assault."

"So, Militech marched a grand army towards the free states, capturing every one of them in the matter of months which is prestigious and mighty. but the only two states remaining at war that hasn't fallen is Northern California and oh my Republic of Texas which somehow still survived for some odd reason."

"Finally, the USSR actually gave help by sending 'humanitarian aid' not filled with food or medicine, but weapons, wagons full of weapons distributed to the residents and citizens of Northern California, allowing them to defend themselves from the NUSA and Militech. Which actually works when the NUSA retreated and stopped its troops just in front of the Northern Californian border."

"But the threat isn't over yet, Militech continued to pule up and mobilize its troops all around the border of Northern California which made a Nourthern Californian Councilman housing in Night City to be very very nervous and anxious. So what to do than to call at this point still and will always be Militech's biggest rival, Arasaka."

"They're completely done in being isolated and have moved on towards the world over 30 years before the unification war, reaching ever new heights than before with the constant tension between it and Militech. Lucius Rhyne used a phonebook full of contacts to finally reach and phone an Arasaka line, pleading for help in exchange for a position in Night City."

"You see, this is very seductive as Arasaka has zero headquarters or even a small post office anywhere in North America so they took the deal seriously and as any corporation would do in this day and age, sent a fleet of ships armed with 5 supercarriers to guard the west coast and prepare for a land battle if Militech and the NUSA moved its armies in."

"This sudden occurrence went completely unexpected in President Rosalind Myers mind as well as a baffled World Government Director, Leery O'Jenkins who moved quick to warn the two parties not to get too violet or he'll step in as well because the World Government will never forget the Militech-Arasaka War a few decades ago just as easily."

"Apparently, seeing Arasaka, the NUSA and Militech also weren't in a modd to fight them as the last war with Arasaka drained almost their entire asset and they aren't gonna take second chances, so the two parties meet as well as the recently freed free states leaders that used to be under NUSA custody after their states got steam rolled."

"Negotiations fired swiftly on the table as screams of requests flew in but everything is manageable in the very end when the NUSA signed a treaty with everyone, the conquered states will be annexed by the NUSA while still remaining their autonomous ruling while the other states not yet conquered remained their own free states while Night City is given special autonomy and independence from both the NUSA and Northern California, the state they belong to."

"So basically, the NUSA still won albeit not completely, but their intent was successful, the states returned whilst it's still autonomous, it brought a lot of prestige towards the president. And that's pretty much it really, the next ten years leading up to today has been very peaceful for Militech except for a recent news of planned advancements, that's all."

"Yeah I think at this point, we've pretty much known everything that is to know about this arms company," Calian spoke and he's correct, that's a lot of information that I'm doubting would come useful but it would help us better to recognize the company. "You heard everything Jill?" Calian said as he looked towards Jill's direction.

I gazed as well as she continued typing codes and moving the mouse while she had some cabels connecting to the transparent phone itself, hacking looks awesome and all but ehm... no thank you, I have no idea what she's doing. "Loud and clear and also, looks like we've found our girl," she pressed a button to the right which might be the enter button and her screen changed.

It's no longer lines of codes, it's now a cross satellite position image with latitudes and longtitudes, constantly moving through the desert. "Where is that?" I asked, it's a desert, it could be anywhere. "South of the city, at least 10 kilometers past the southern border where... wait a sec," Jill came back to typing and stopped to talk again.

"Where a lot of border patrols are currently in, this right is the latest image of the southern border," Jill dragged and pushed the screen to the other screens for us to view and all I can say is, it's a mess. "You see, on the inner side, there's your Japanese, and on the outer side, there's your American Militia."

"So from how V did just ruin the Japanese corporation eh... Arasaka, they would be out for her blood and it is known that she apparently escaped through a channel that is not known yet but what is known is that the channel is sure to be somewhere around the southern border. of course the American militias are Militech who aren't permitting Arasaka out of the border and thus tensions are currently high."

"So, can we get pass the border?" I asked because that's our priority right now and if we can't get past, that's huge trouble. "Don't worry we can, the only corporation Militech doesn't want into further American grounds is Arasaka," wait... corporation? "We aren't corporation," Aria said it already, yes we aren't corporation.

"To have an AV or aerodyne means we are rich and rich means corporation, parties like Kang Tao, Suzine Electronics and Greenery's Life have all passed through without even a single border check, so we'll definitely be fine," if that's so, I'll trust you on this then.
