Military Technology immediately sprang into action after securing the war contract from WCN.
The faster this war was fought, the more advantageous it would be for them.
Not only could they capitalize on Arasaka's weakened state, but a swift victory would also prevent other corporations from taking advantage of the situation.
Military Technology was deeply rooted in the New United States of America.
Ever since being nationalized, they had become almost synonymous with the US military.
As early as the Unification War period, they had planned to attack Night City.
However, the Night City Government had brought in Arasaka to protect their borders.
To prevent the domestic conflict from escalating into a new corporate war, they were forced to stand down.
Now, six years later, Military Technology once again brought out this invasion plan.
And this time, their goal was to control Night City and eliminate Ascension Technology within it.
Night City, South.
Outside Pacifica.
Large Military Technology forces were slowly advancing towards Night City.
Night City is located in the southwest of Northern California, bordering Southern California, which was occupied by the New US.
It turned out there was a reason why Pacifica was abandoned in the past; if Military Technology attacked Night City, they would indeed attack from the south, and Pacifica would quickly become a battlefield.
It was only Arasaka's timely appearance at that time that prevented the war, saving Pacifica from the ravages of war.
Military Technology's full mobilization naturally could not escape the detection of Arasaka and Ascension Technology.
Soon, Arasaka, who had been prepared for a long time, assembled several supercarriers in Coronado Bay, right next to Night City.
It was the appearance of these carriers back then that caused Military Technology's forces to retreat in time.
Now, history was repeating itself, but Military Technology showed no signs of backing down.
Several supercarriers from Military Technology also sailed in from outside the bay.
Suddenly, supercarriers, of which there were only a few worldwide, appeared together on the sea outside Night City.
This also indicated that this war would not be peaceful and simple.
And on the ground.
Military Technology dispatched a large number of alloy armored vehicles, tanks, and heavy missile launchers to the battlefield in Night City.
These were the most advanced military technologies in modern times; during the Unification War, Military Technology relied on these cutting-edge military technologies to successfully subdue a number of free states.
This also led to the Unification War being called the Metal War.
This time, Military Technology also used the latest technology.
Meanwhile, inside Night City.
News of this war was kept secret, and Military Technology would not widely publicize their intention to attack Night City.
However, the scale of Military Technology's troop mobilization was so large that it was naturally impossible to hide it from everyone.
Rumors that war was about to break out quickly spread throughout Night City.
Nomads from outside the city had personally seen Military Technology's forces and were telling the truth about the Military Technology invasion in the city.
There were also upper-class individuals or top Fixers with various connections and informants who learned the truth from leaked information.
For a time, the entire Night City was thrown into panic.
They had paid a huge price to gain independence in the Unification War, and now Military Technology was suddenly attacking again.
Although they knew that Night City might not lose this war, as long as the war started, there would inevitably be losses.
Facing the panic of numerous citizens, the Night City Government had no choice but to come forward and appease the public.
"Military Technology's forces are marching towards Night City, attempting once again to take away Night City's status as a free city-state.
But please do not worry, citizens, we are fully confident of achieving victory in this war. Ascension Technology will deploy its most powerful forces to deal with Military Technology's invasion..."
On major media outlets, the Night City Mayor's speech was being broadcast, and in his words, it was clearly stated that Ascension Technology would be the main force in this war.
The jurisdiction of Night City's borders had already been transferred from Arasaka to Ascension Technology when the bill was passed.
At the time, the citizens were puzzled, but not facing war, they didn't think much of it.
Now that Military Technology was at their doorstep, these people truly began to care about the strength of Ascension Technology.
Pacifica.
In the past, this place was synonymous with chaos.
The Night City Government simply couldn't be bothered to manage this area, and other corporations temporarily had no intention of going to great lengths to deal with it.
Although Kang Tao had planned to purchase the land in Pacifica at a low price from the Night City Government in exchange for quelling the chaos in Pacifica.
But this matter had not been finalized in the end.
Now that war was about to break out, a different scene appeared here.
Many Pacifica residents had already fled Pacifica upon learning that Military Technology was about to attack, after all, no one wanted to be caught in the corporate meat grinder.
There were also many gangs and criminals who could not survive elsewhere, still remaining in Pacifica, looking for opportunities to profit from the war.
And at this moment, on the streets of Pacifica, batch after batch of robots were constantly moving.
These robots all came from Ascension Technology, but they were not the ones preparing to go to the battlefield.
Their purpose for appearing here was to control the entire Pacifica region.
Luoqi did not intend to let Pacifica become a battlefield; he wanted to completely reclaim Pacifica during the war, turn it into his territory, and at the same time, secure the large rear area of the battlefield to prevent some suicidal fools from backstabbing him.
Ascension Technology's forces quickly occupied the streets of Pacifica and began to quell the riots that were becoming increasingly frenzied due to the approaching war.
Many rioters rooted in Pacifica did not obey Ascension Technology's control, and the result was obvious.
These rioters, who usually struck fear into the hearts of ordinary citizens and NCPD, appeared so ridiculous when facing Ascension Technology; anyone who dared to resist was killed by Ascension Technology until they were deader than dead.
This was the first blood shed in the war between the two sides.
For a time, the originally extremely chaotic Pacifica began to be filled with a rare silence.
After stabilizing the large rear area of the battlefield, Ascension Technology focused its attention on the main battlefield south of Pacifica.
....
South of Pacifica, in the Badlands.
Large Military Technology forces were advancing towards Night City.
This time, the scale and strength of the forces dispatched by Military Technology, who were serious, were far beyond what they were during the time they captured Cyberpunk.
Military Technology, operating on the American mainland, had far greater efficiency and capability in assembling troops than Arasaka, which only controlled Night City on this continent.
If this were a simple war between Arasaka and Military Technology, Military Technology would have a huge advantage in attacking Night City.
But unfortunately, the main force this time was not Arasaka, but Ascension Technology.
