Start in Night City

Director Forte has already reconciled with the leader of the Sixth Street Gang.

They deliberately left a batch of firearms and flashlights in a den that was not intended to be used, and erased all Six Street Gang graffiti and logos.

Think of it as a "confession" to Director Forte.

What Director Forte needs to do is invite News 54 to accompany him so that he can record the NCPD's civil and military achievements.

Of course, do the whole show.

Just guns and flash are definitely not enough.

Therefore, the Sixth Street Gang deliberately went to the streets and recruited a group of young and ignorant gangsters who had just come out to work.

These gangsters don't even know how to use guns, not to mention the Six Street Gang left a lot of flashes behind.

NCPD doesn't have to worry about possible resistance.

By the time they broke in, these gangsters were probably very high.

Considering that this raid was just a formality, the Sixth Street Gang had already helped arrange everything.

Therefore, the vehicle that Chief Forte allocated to Xiang Shenglin Road was a basic police patrol car provided by the "Sky Dome" car manufacturer to the NCPD.

Cheap synthetic plastics and glass, thin bumpers, and a body that is as brittle as tofu...

Despite these shortcomings, Director Forte still waved his hand and issued a large order to the "Sky Dome" manufacturer.

Not because of anything else, but because it is cheap.

In addition, Chief Forte also specifically prohibited Shan Sheng Lindau and other police officers from carrying firearms other than "Lexington", even if they were self-prepared weapons.

Of course Director Forte was not stupid in issuing this order.

But he has his "foresight".

NCPD is not without heavy equipment and police special vehicles.

But this is obviously not as effective as using old-fashioned police patrol cars and outdated equipment.

Because the latter can send a signal to the citizens of Night City, as well as Mayor Lane and Jefferson, who are campaigning for mayor and giving speeches.

…

…

…

PS1: The president of New America, Rosalind Miles, is the former CEO of Military Technology. At the same time, President Miles still maintains close ties with the board of directors of Military Technology.

Therefore, the new America is not "the new America nationalizes military technology" as some people on the Internet think, but "the new America is dominated by military technology from within/from above."

PS2: Yesterday I received 150 monthly tickets, and I added 1,000 words.

Current progress (45000/65000)

Chapter 82 Then something unexpected happened (4K)

——"Although our NCPD is underfunded, underequipped, and understaffed, and all police officers risk their lives every day to work, we still spare no effort to fight crime."

"So because we are working so hard, can you allocate more funds to us?"

I believe that as long as Mayor Lane and Jefferson are not fools, after seeing this signal, they will rush to ensure that once they are successful in the election, they will increase funding for the NCPD.

Although NCPD is a listed company, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Night City City Hall and is an armed, violent agency that maintains urban security and social order.

Naturally, funds need to be allocated from the city hall budget, and at the same time, they also accept the dispatch of the city hall.

Once Mayor Lane and Jefferson make such a guarantee, it will not only win more votes for them, but it will also play into Director Forte's hands.

After the funds are released, a considerable part of the money will naturally go into Director Ford's own pocket.

Some people may ask, "If everything goes well, it's okay, but what if something goes wrong?"

If the person who raised this question was one of Director Forte's staff, it would only result in a scolding:

——"What accident? Where did the accident come from? If I say there is no accident, it means there is no accident! If you dare to mention an accident to me again, I will surprise you first!"

It has to be said that Director Forte's wishful thinking was really sound.

The sense of smell and operation on the track of power are so micro-managed that it makes people scared.

Since early in the morning, Director Forte had contacted News 54 as expected.

As expected, News 54 sent a news communications vehicle over.

After the News 54 staff arrived at the NCPD headquarters, Xiang Shenglindao led the team off as expected.

Then nothing unexpected happened.

Director Forte has considered every aspect and is very thoughtful.

Only one thing was ignored.

He was sitting in the office, with the air conditioner blowing and drinking some wine.

I drive my own private car to and from work.

He has never been to urban areas defined as "dangerous" by the NCPD.

Naturally, I have never used these basic patrol cars provided by the manufacturer "Tianqiong".

When NCPD and Sky Dome purchased these patrol cars, they did so in order to minimize costs and put as many euros into their wallets as possible.

The price Director Ford gave to the manufacturer of the "Sky Dome" was not much higher than buying the car directly for the homeless.

So you can imagine how bad these cars are.

The most direct result was that the intelligent navigation system of the patrol car that led the way failed and failed to take them to the predetermined den of the Six Street Gang.

Instead, they were led to the stronghold of the Eden Gang.

…

"Superintendent Xiangsheng, what should we do?" One of his subordinates asked worriedly.

Xiang Sheng Lin Dao glanced around.

Members of the Eden Gang, like a pack of wolves, surround them.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, with malicious expressions on their faces.

Xiangsheng Lindau pulled one of his men over and whispered to him: "Go over and tell the people at News 54 and ask them to stop filming and get back to the car."

The subordinate looked confused: "Just... just say it like this?"

"Yes, you go directly to their leader, they are also seasoned and will understand."

Xiang Sheng Lin Dao just finished his instructions.

Suddenly, a police officer shouted, which startled Xiang Shenglin Dao.

"Hey! As for you, don't come any closer!"

He turned his head and saw that a police officer's gun was pointed at the head of an Eden Gang member.

Xiang Sheng Lin Dao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

I cursed in my heart: I am not your superior, you are my brother. Do you know what the situation is now? Are you going to kill us all?

He quickly stepped forward and pulled the police officer away.

First, he pushed the Eden Gang member and pushed him back into the crowd.

Then he said seriously to the police officer: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"The guy kept staring at me and made me feel uncomfortable."

"This is the territory of the Eden Gang, not the TM's Civic Center. Please clarify it for me!"

The Civic Center has been assessed as safe by the NCPD, making it the urban area with the best security conditions in the Night City.

Forget about the Civic Center.

In a place like this, if you put a gun to someone's head, aren't you afraid that if the gun accidentally goes off, you and I will die?

After Xiang Sheng Lin Dao reprimanded his men, he shouted loudly at the Eden Gang members who were always surrounding them and staring at them closely with malicious eyes.

"Calm down! Please calm down! Please continue to do what you are doing. This has nothing to do with you. It is just a misunderstanding."

The police officers were all forced to form a circle, and they all nervously held the "Lexington" in their hands.

Although he has a gun in his hand.

But this water gun cannot give them a sense of security at all.

Because the guns on the opposite side not only have more guns, but also have more powerful firepower.

"Superintendent Xiangsheng, I have a bad feeling."

"It's okay, Hudson, it's okay..."

"Superintendent Xiangsheng, everyone from News 54 is on the bus. They said they would follow us."

Finally hearing some good news, Xiang Sheng Lin Dao couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Yoshi! Everyone get in the car, let's get out of here..."

However, Xiang Sheng Lin Dao hadn't finished speaking yet.

The door through which they had entered was closed again.

At the same time, a thick explosion-proof door rose from the ground, blocking the exit tightly.

The faces of Xiangsheng Lindao and others suddenly became extremely ugly.

Couldn't help but stir up a commotion.

Xiang Sheng Lin Dao is worthy of being the leader of the team and responded quickly.

"Quickly, contact the bureau and ask them to send reinforcements!"

However, his subordinates were crying, and what they said made Xiang Sheng Lin Dao feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"The communication can't be sent out. There must be a communication jammer here."

The road in Xiangsheng Forest looks like death.

The police officers under his command all had pale faces.

The people over at News 54 are not fools either.

Except for the interns who just came out of college, everyone else also reacted.

The NCPD must have gone the wrong way, that's why they were brought to this dragon's den.

Now the only door is closed, and they can't get out. The staff tried to contact News 54, but they couldn't, and communication was blocked.

fragrant

Sheng Lindao gritted his teeth.

He has one last solution.

But it was also a risky move.

He stepped forward and shouted to the crowd surrounding them.

"Where is your Holy Father, Joseph Seed? I want to see him."

No one spoke.

The members of the Eden Gang who gathered around just stared at Xiang Sheng Lin Dao with vicious eyes.

It was like staring at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Just as a conflict was about to break out, a man's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker installed on the wall.

There are loudspeakers everywhere in the Eden Gang's stronghold, and the sound spreads throughout the Eden Gang's buildings.

"Officer, I'm in the chapel at the deepest point. Please come directly."

With the words of the Holy Father, the surrounding eyes looked fierce, and the guards who wanted to peel off the skin of these NCPD finally slowly lowered their weapons.

And made a way.

But their expressions of choosing others to devour did not change.

The police officers looked at each other in confusion, and then, under the signal from Xiang Sheng Lindao's eyes, they also put down their guns.
