Crossover in the Anime World

Tuogusa has grown old, but he has never given up and has been studying history. However, the more he studies, the more he finds that there are only two words between the lines of history - cannibalism.

Wars are very common in history, and there are advantages to winning a war and advantages to losing a war.

If the military nobles win, they will grab resources from abroad, eat meat themselves, and let the people drink soup. If the military nobles lose, they will have to find a way to mobilize citizens, even free people.

If the military nobles can solve the problem by their own strength, they certainly don't need any other helpers.

If a farmer can smelt by himself, he doesn’t need a blacksmith; if he can treat his own illness, he doesn’t need a doctor; if he can weave by himself, he doesn’t need a weaver…

But it is obviously impossible, so the farmer will cooperate with the blacksmith, the doctor, and the weaver girl, and the blacksmith will also cooperate with others...

Because everyone's ability has its limits, they need help. When the weapons of the military nobles no longer have an advantage, they will give citizens and freemen a chance.

Nuclear bombs, military satellites, super chips, powerful hackers. These things are all designed to defeat the enemy with weapon advantages, and only a few soldiers are needed.

This is also the main means of corporate warfare, a weapon of confrontation.

Togusa studied three corporate wars. The companies used various new weapons and equipment to carry out long-range strikes. The main targets of the attacks were to destroy the company's production plants, raw material production areas, and transportation channels, hoping to destroy the productivity of other companies in this way.

With such powerful weapons and equipment, the role of soldiers is very small. However, because the battle line is extended, Night City still mobilizes citizen militia. The main role of citizen militia is to suppress enemy civilians, not to fight in battle.

If you really want to kill the enemy, various heavy weapons are the main force, and soldiers are just cannon fodder.

This also led to Johnny's desertion, and he received widespread sympathy. Although Johnny did not fulfill his obligations, the current war is still mainly the responsibility of the military nobles, and the citizens are just supporting roles.

Togusa knew that if he wanted to improve the status of the citizen soldiers, or even the status of free citizens, he would need a major war, a war that the military nobles were powerless to prevent.

For example, when the Zerg invade, the enemies are numerous and the heavy weapons of the military nobles are completely unable to defeat them, so more soldiers are needed.

"War is also one of the elements of social evolution." Tuogusa had to admit that history was so cruel and it was all caused by fighting.

In the West, citizens are supreme. It is not because of the kindness of the nobles, but when a loaf of bread costs 500,000 marks, citizens will really raise their butcher knives to kill gods and Buddhas.

The decentralization of civil rights was also achieved because free people fought day and night on battlefields and in factories.

"But just because you conquer the world immediately doesn't mean you can rule it immediately. Everything you gain through war will be taken away again in peacetime." Tuogusa knew that victory in the war did not mean everything was fine, and what was to be done next was the most important.

Unfortunately, Night City has not proposed any ideas for solving problems in peacetime, so peacetime has become a period of preparation for the next war.

“Peace is for the next war. Once internal conflicts escalate, they must be diverted externally and war must be fought.”

For example, now, after the death of Saburo Arasaka, Arasaka Yorinobu is unable to reform the company at all. The company's top management thinks that they can launch a new corporate war. If they themselves don't have a good life, others won't have an easy life either.

"Only war can change the unfavorable situation. Sir, Miss, please make a decision." The top leaders put pressure on the Arasaka siblings to agree to go to war.

"A lot of people will die if we start a war. I replaced my father in the hope of returning the company to the path of benefiting mankind. As technology develops, we should use it to benefit more people instead of thinking about promoting war."

"As technology develops, it is right to let companies make profits first. Only when companies make profits can they have money to continue to promote technology. If we give the money to others, how can we maintain our technological advantage? There is only so much money, and it will be gone if we give it away. Research and development costs money, and wages cost money. Now we don’t have so much money, so we can only fight, destroy the production capacity of other companies, and monopolize the market to recover funds and continue to promote technology. If the company cannot make a profit, how can we benefit mankind?"

Arasaka Yorinobu was speechless.

Arasaka Hanako looked at her brother. She had learned from the bodyguard that her brother had killed her father, but she did not expose her brother because she also wanted to see if her brother could really make the company better. Unfortunately, her brother was disappointing. Although he had good ideals, reality did not run according to his ideals.

The development of science and technology should benefit mankind. But the fact is that the development of science and technology only benefits a few people, and most people have to bear the cost of technological development.

"Is there no other choice but to start a war?" asked Arasaka Yorinobu.

"This is the only way. Otherwise, the company will be finished. We can only use the equipment in our arsenal to destroy the production capacity of other companies. There is no meaning in a world without Arasaka Corporation."

I thought that after my father's death, the company would change, but it turned out to be getting worse. Did I really want to start a war? Looking at the fierce eyes of the company's elders, Arasaka Yorinobu knew that if he refused, he would probably be shot to death. These people would not give him a chance to object.

"Okay." He finally agreed to go to war.

So the corporate war begins again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"There's a war?" David was stunned when he returned to Earth. He didn't know what was going on. They had been away for less than a month and everything had turned upside down.

Su Zi was speechless. Night City actually started to use the same old tricks again and attacked the production capacity of other companies.

The company also has something to say: This war is to safeguard free trade, safeguard free will, and attack excess capacity that destroys the market.

The production capacity of other companies is excess capacity and should be eliminated. Your own production capacity is free capacity.

For free trade, for free will.

"Wage a war for freedom? What kind of freedom is this? It's simply that I am free and you are not free." David was very angry when he saw that Arasaka Corporation was destroying other people's production capacity in the name of freedom.

But the reality is helpless. Even if David is angry, he cannot change the war.

"What can I do?" Lucy was also helpless. She went to the moon and returned to find that the earth was even worse.

Motoko is used to it. She has lived from the end of the 20th century to the present. She looks like a little loli, but she is already eighty years old at heart. She has experienced many wars and storms in her life. She knows that this is just the company's way of diverting conflicts.

The productivity was destroyed, some people died, and then peace came again. Then peace lasted for ten or twenty years, and then fighting continued. There was nothing that could be done about it. This is history.

Peace is a luxury, war is the norm.

Anyway, corporate wars will not expand to the whole world, just some high-tech weapons will be used. Suzi is used to it. Fighting is healthier. War is necessary.

"Just keep living." David said, "Let's fight a war. Our business is a bloody business. Whether it's peace or war, business is business and it won't change."

When Su Zi heard this, she knew that David would continue to be a mercenary. Wouldn't that mean her drama was wasted? She had to find a way to arrange a good job for them. She thought that she could pass on the Mind War God to them and let them be Mind Warriors, which would be better than being mercenaries. Mind Warriors were at least safe and didn't have to worry about wages.
