Cyberpunk: 2075

Karl had actually known about the Night City Council's intention to abandon Taiping Prefecture and not include Taiping Prefecture's crime rate in Night City.

When the previous NCPD director was still alive, when he proposed to abolish NCPD police officers and collect alarm fees, he proposed a bill to the city council, which was to cancel the management of Taiping State and the Badlands on the edge of Night City, and put these The two places are not included in the management of Night City;

After that bill was submitted to the city council, others were solved by crazy "gunmen". Carl always thought that this kind of bill would die with the death of the former NCPD director, and the city council's mutual negotiations would disappear. I didn't expect to hear the announcement of his policy from Mayor Lucius Lane today.

Although it only mentioned Taiping Prefecture and did not count it as a bad land, after the mayor said this sentence, he had excluded Taiping Prefecture from the Night City system in a practical sense.

What does it mean when a region no longer counts crime rates?

First of all, it means that the place will no longer be managed by NCPD personnel, then it will no longer be provided in terms of taxes and electricity and water supply in all aspects, and then the city council shows that the place has become de facto ownerless. This land can be occupied by anyone or any gang, and they will not have any idea of ​​interfering... ． .

Now Taiping Prefecture is actually not much different from Borderlands, but the public announcements are always different. This is equivalent to others peeing secretly in the swimming pool, and you peeing standing on the swimming pool platform. , the measures were too 'above board' and 'exposed'.

"After this policy is announced, the few residents in Taiping Prefecture will probably not be easy off, and the number of smuggling and special trade there will probably reach a higher level... That place will become a hiding place for various gangs. A holy place of dirt.”

The unscrupulousness after complete relaxation will be very scary. After abandoning the last bit of underwear, Karl can foresee the "bright" future after Taiping Prefecture just thinking about it.

Carl continued to play, and Mewtwo's screening continued.

“We understand that this decision may cause some questions and discussions, but we firmly believe that this is for the long-term development of our city and the well-being of our residents. Our goal has always been to create a safe and prosperous Night City for everyone. Every citizen can live, work and play here with peace of mind. We believe that through our joint efforts, both Taiping Prefecture and Night City will have a brighter and safer future.”

The recording time for the entire Mewtwo was not long. After it was officially announced that Taiping State no longer belongs to Night City, and various political commitments were made, the Mewtwo then fell into garbage time, and Karl accelerated directly. The irrelevant content behind has been skipped.

After Carl took off Mewtwo and fell into thinking, Oliver came over.

"Well, let me tell you that you will be interested in this content."

He said, pointing to the ACPA next to him: "If we have anything in the future, we can hide it in Taipingzhou. The city council has announced that we will not care about that place, so we can completely use that place as a warehouse."

It can be seen that Oliver is very excited, and it is obvious that Mayor Lucius Lane's suggestion is to his liking.

In his view, as a native of Night City, the damn place in Taiping Prefecture should have been opened up like this. It has been stuck in the city. It is better to let Taiping Prefecture get out of Night City cleanly now. In that way, whether it is transporting things Or use it as a warehouse, so you don't have to worry about people from the city council investigating. His friends in the transportation and logistics center can also move more goods and make more money.

"Do you agree with this policy?"

Looking at Oliver's performance, Karl realized something, but he still asked, and his question received a natural nod from Oliver:

"Of course I agree. Which city person would disagree with this kind of thing? You can ask Jack when he comes back later. He also agrees with the custody. This is definitely a good thing. The place in Taiping Prefecture is already bad enough. Instead of procrastinating and wasting police resources and money going there, if you have the time and money, you can use it to improve the city and replace the old city facilities with new ones. "

“I think even if the city council saves the money they spent on Taipingzhou, they won’t use it on other neighborhoods.”

Having said that, Karl understood the meaning of Oliver's words.

That is, people in Night City other than Taiping Prefecture, or citizens of other neighborhoods where Night City accounts for the vast majority of people, are supportive of the city council’s policy to get Taiping Prefecture out of the Night City management system. , in their opinion, it is better to stay away from that smelly place than to keep throwing money into the shithole.

Support means that this policy will be welcomed.

The policies proposed by the mayor have been welcomed by an absolute number of citizens. It feels a bit...

Karl immediately searched for the time of the mayoral election. As expected, the mayoral election was very close. If the current mayor Lucius Lane wanted to be re-elected, he would have to face the challenges in the city council. challenger.

Karl's eyes swept over the name of Jefferson Peralez, the mayoral candidate who challenged Lucius Lane, and he already understood the reason why Lucius Lane gave up on Taiping State at this juncture.

Lucius Lane made a good move.

People’s memories are always time-bound. Take news as an example. Unless it is extremely important news, the fresher the news is, the deeper the impression it can leave in memory.

At the critical moment of the mayoral election, Lucius Ryan launched a major measure, which was widely welcomed by the citizens and would undoubtedly deepen the citizens’ impression of his wise decision.

If the mayoral election is held at such a critical juncture, it is foreseeable that Lucius Ryan’s support rate will be significantly improved due to the fresh memory of the citizens. If this policy really makes the whole city better afterwards, then it doesn’t even need to be improved as a whole.

Lucius Ryan only needs to pick a few one-sided points and hold a press conference, then his victory can almost be said to be stable.

From this point of view, if nothing unexpected happens, the next mayor will still fall on Lucius Ryan’s head, but 1

Carl remembered the perfunctory attitude of Lucius Ryan towards Arasakase Nobu that he saw from the side when he first met Lucius Ryan.

If you think about it carefully...:. It seems that something is wrong.

The abandonment of the management of Taipingzhou means giving up a rotten place for the citizens of Night City, but if someone wants to infiltrate that unmanaged place, it can be said to be easy.

Carl thought about the arrangement of the New America that he encountered when he was alive in Dog Town before. There were already elite agents of the New America in Dog Town. Is it possible for Taipingzhou to avoid it? Now that it has been relaxed, doesn't it mean that if the New America is willing, it can arrange countless safe houses like Alex Bar in the underground of Taipingzhou, and bury a large number of forces in Taipingzhou without anyone knowing.

Being perfunctory to Arasaka Nobuyuki... Is it really just perfunctory to Arasaka Nobuyuki, the prince? No matter how Arasaka Nobuyuki is at odds with Arasaka Saburo, he is also the only heir of Arasaka Company in a clear sense. As a dog promoted by Arasaka, no matter what, he should not disrespect his master.

Unless, the dog is no longer eating the dog food fed by this master, and he has a new and better master.

If this incident is considered as a loss of respect for Arasaka, then why did a politician who became the mayor because of seeking help from Arasaka lose respect for Arasaka...:

Arasaka's sphere of influence in Night City is not close to Taipingzhou. This policy is obviously more beneficial to the Six Street Gang close to Taipingzhou.

The Six Street Gang is behind the New America,

and the New America is behind...

Isn't it military technology!
