"In addition, your people have never cooperated with my people before. When we take official action, I'm afraid it will drag down my people."
There are too many examples in history of a miscellaneous and chaotic army performing poorly on the battlefield.
Su Xiao believes in his people, but he does not believe in Animal Gang.
Even if Animal Gang is considered a friendly force now.
He didn't want Animal Gang to make a mistake during the raid on Voodoo Boys, causing the operation to fail.
There is only one chance to eliminate Voodoo Boys.
Even if one of them escapes from Voodoo Boys, the mission will be considered a failure.
Therefore, you must not fail.
"Okay."
Mosley accepted Su Xiao's statement and felt relieved.
But then he thought of another question.
"The information you gave is very useful, but how do you know where Voodoo Boys's stronghold is?"
Su Xiao did not answer directly, but waved his hand.
"You don't have to worry about it. I have my information channels. All you need to know is that I have the stronghold of Voodoo Boys. It's not just the one used to disguise it on the surface. I also know where their real stronghold is."
He spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's end the conversation here. I have shown my sincerity. Now, is it your turn to show it?"
Su Xiao is not afraid that Mosley will not cooperate with him.
Because it is NetWatch's responsibility to maintain network security and blackwall security.
Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing, and not knowing is also a blessing.
Because you don't know some things, you won't worry about them.
By the same token, others don't care about blackwalls.
But NetWatch cannot care less, because they know best the fragility of the black wall and the ferocity of the AI on the other side of the wall.
If those Rogue AI were allowed to come in, no one would be able to survive.
That's why NetWatch sent Mosley to Night City.
In fact, strictly speaking, Voodoo Boys alone is certainly not enough to knock down the black wall.
And Voodoo Boys is not the only one wreaking havoc around the world.
.
In terms of threat level, Voodoo Boys is not that high.
But even so, they found out that Voodoo Boys was doing something, and they couldn't just sit back and ignore it.
Therefore, Mosley will appear in Pacifica.
Therefore, Su Xiao believes that Mosley will cooperate with him.
Chapter 296: Dare to lead the way for AI now, but I won't dare to think about it in the future (4K)
He is not afraid that Mosley will abandon him and find other collaborators.
First of all, suppose that Mosley can really apply for a budget of 20 million from NetWatch company, but this money is not enough to hire the company's security force.
Because giant companies like Arasaka and Militech, although one of their pillar industries is the security industry, they sign long-term and stable military contract contracts, not such one-time employment contracts.
People simply don't like this kind of work.
In addition to the company's security forces, the people at Su Xiao are the best choice.
Unless Mosley is a complete idiot, he would leave Su Xiao to cooperate with other mercenaries in the city.
Secondly, the information Su Xiao told Mosley is not the most important.
As for the most important information, such as Voodoo Boys's stronghold, Su Xiao did not tell Mosley.
Even if Mosley wants to find others to cooperate, how can they attack Voodoo Boys if others don't know where Voodoo Boys's stronghold is?
Therefore, Mosley can only complete its tasks and maximize its benefits by cooperating with itself.
Just as Su Xiao thought, Mosley chose to cooperate with him.
Even Mosley never considered other collaborators.
Because he feels that Su Xiao is a very suitable collaborator. If he cooperates with Su Xiao, they will definitely get along very happily.
Mosley invites Su Xiao to stay at Grand Imperial Mall, and Su Xiao will naturally not refuse.
He chose the highest floor of the entire mall and found a room facing the direction of Voodoo Boys, Barty Hotel and Serenity Bible Hall.
Let Animal Gang clean and tidy up the room for you and make it suitable for living.
Of course, the people of Animal Gang are all rough guys, even their leader Savage King is a tomboy.
It is impossible to expect them to be considerate in helping you clean up.
But as long as it is clean, tidy and habitable, it will be fine.
Su Xiao is not that picky either.
Su Xiao called home and told V and Lucy that he was going to stay with Pacifica for a few days, so as not to worry them.
At the same time, he also asked them to prepare.
Once the budget application from Mosley is approved, they will need to take action.
In the days that followed, Su Xiao lived peacefully in Grand Imperial Mall.
In order to avoid being exposed, he, like Mosley, stayed at Grand Imperial Mall, never leaving the front door or taking a step forward.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything.
During the day, he would climb on the roof of Grand Imperial Mall, release the drone, and let the drone fly over Barty Hotel and Serenity Bible Hall to investigate them.
These two locations are the strongholds of Voodoo Boys.
In particular, the latter is the real headquarters of Voodoo Boys, and only its core members know of its existence.
Drones are all electrically powered, and they basically have to be returned after flying for an hour or two to recharge.
In addition, Su Xiao did not dare to let the drone fly too low, let alone let the drone drop in height and enter the interior of Barty Hotel.
Even though there is Optical Camouflage, it is not truly invisible.
It's okay if it's far away, but you can see it with the naked eye when you're close.
Therefore, these days Su Xiao only uses drones to conduct reconnaissance at high altitudes.
But even so, there is a lot of information that can be seen.
The biggest gain is that it confirmed Su Xiao's previous conjecture, that is, Haitian immigrants and Voodoo Boys have a symbiotic relationship.
Maybe people living in China cannot understand that in poor and backward communities like the United States, the relationship between civilians and gangs is not completely incompatible.
You can say this is a Stockholm scenario, but it cannot be denied that civilians who have grown up and lived in that kind of community are not that repellent to gangs.
On the contrary, some of them may also feel that although they have to pay protection fees to the gang, it is the gang that protects them from harassment and trouble from other gangs.
The relationship between Haitian immigrants and Voodoo Boys is exactly like this.
The superficial stronghold of Voodoo Boys is in Barty Hotel. Just by the name, you can tell what this place was originally intended to do, but later with the departure of capital, this place became the territory of Voodoo Boys.
No one is allowed to enter the space above the second floor. Only Voodoo Boys people can enter and exit.
The space on the first floor of the hotel was used by those Haitian immigrants and turned into a bustling black market.
In this black market, everything is sold, and there are even some scantily clad women ogling the passing customers.
Barty Hotel's black market will be closed at night, and no one will wander around the hotel.
The people at Voodoo Boys are very alert. They arrange different sentry positions every night. They have no way of backing up and can only adapt to changes.
If Barty Hotel is the base of Voodoo Boys on the surface, then Serenity Bible Hall is the real base of Voodoo Boys
Stronghold.
Only the core members of this stronghold know about it, not even the ordinary Voodoo Boys members, let alone those Haitian immigrants.
Serenity Bible Hall is equivalent to a church for Haitians, they come here to pray and hold funerals.
But no one knows that the wall of the Bible Hall is just a disguised secret door that can actually be opened.
After opening it, an underground passage leading to Voodoo Boys's real stronghold will be revealed.
This information was not detected by drones, but was told to him by Rogge's spy.
The real stronghold of Voodoo Boys is located underground in the Serenity Bible Hall.
However, this underground space was not dug by Voodoo Boys himself, but was part of Intercontinental Maglev Tunnel.
This tunnel originally connected the world, but was abandoned after Fourth Corporate War decades ago.
Fourth Corporate War changed a lot of things, including the tunnel underneath Pacifica.
Later, Voodoo Boys came to Pacifica. They discovered this tunnel and decided to use it.
They blocked both ends of the maglev tunnel, leaving only the remaining open space in the center as their secret stronghold.
At the same time, in order to conceal it from others, Serenity Bible Hall was built on it.
Of course, as mentioned before, only the core members of the Serenity Bible Hall's secret underground stronghold deserve to know.
Therefore, when nothing happens, the senior leaders of Voodoo Boys - such as the leader Maman Brigitte, the second-in-command Placide, and the third-in-command whose name is unknown but whose nickname is Neptune.
These senior executives will stay at Barty Hotel.
Similarly, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, they also introduced a lot of hacking equipment into Barty Hotel and raised a group of less-skilled hackers.
When doing some hacking operations, they are all done at Barty Hotel.
However, when they need to carry out some unknown secret operations, Brigitte and other high-level officials will come to the Serenity Bible Hall's secret underground stronghold.
Not only are the hacking equipment here better than those at Barty Hotel, but even the hackers who can enter here are carefully selected and elite.
Therefore, during the official operation, it is necessary to divide into two teams, one to clean up the Voodoo Boys of Barty Hotel, and the other to exterminate the Voodoo Boys of the Serenity Bible Hall underground.
Su Xiao's total number of people is less than forty.
As for Voodoo Boys, including peripheral members, there are nearly three hundred people.
It's almost a ratio of one to ten.
However, those people in Voodoo Boys are far inferior to those in Su Xiao in terms of prosthetics and weapons.
What's more, Su Xiao has specially prepared some good things for hacker gangs like Voodoo Boys.
When Mosley came to see Su Xiao again, the news he brought was not agreement, but rejection.
The British headquarters did not think the situation was as bad as Mosley, and they only agreed to increase the budget by up to two million.
That is to say, Mosley can only pay Su Xiao a maximum of 10 million, not counting the share that Su Xiao previously negotiated with Mosley.
That is to say, after excluding three million to give to Mosley, Su Xiao can only get seven million.
Then Su Xiao will definitely not be able to do it.
Not only because there is not much money to divide, but also because there is an imbalance between effort and reward.
Su Xiao This person is very simple. He can do as many things as he takes, and he won't put any extra effort into it.
This is how he works for others, and it is also the same now that he is his own boss.
You want him to finish the job after only giving you 10 million?
Impossible.
In fact, it is impossible that NetWatch Company cannot even come up with this little money.
Su Xiao knows the reason why they are unwilling to increase the budget for Mosley. In addition to their disbelief in the report submitted by Mosley, the other reason is that they deliberately stumble Mosley and want to see him make a fool of himself.
There are too many people in reality who want to make things difficult for others even if they don't get any benefits themselves.
