Chapter 1095: Chapter 356: Abstract People Doing Abstract Things (Part 2)

Besides alcohol and drugs, they couldn’t find a third thing to console themselves with.

So pain is often the beginning of infinite downfall.

But now, someone reached out to pull them from their fall, so Jarvis cherished this opportunity greatly.

Not everyone gets a second chance.

"How could it be?"

Jasieya was a bit surprised as this was her first time in Night City, and she thought Night City had always been as she saw it.

"I heard people say this was the city of dreams, many people would fight tooth and nail to smuggle here, and it seems like you’re doing quite well."

Jarvis shook his head.

"Anyone who told you that is definitely a fraud, everyone who came with that mindset, their bodies are already cold."

"Then now...."

"It’s Horizon Corporation..."

Jarvis whispered while looking down.

"But actually, we don’t like to call it a corporation in private; this is our last world, if anyone wants to mess with it, we’ll fight to the end."

The voice was quiet, but the attitude was firm.

"But this corporation still went to invade Cuba."

Jasieya felt a bit unconvinced, as she knew some inside information, this corporation and New America deceived Havana into bombing themselves to find an excuse to go to war with Cuba

"They are invaders."

"Shouldn’t those drug-dealing bastards be dealt with?"

Jarvis glared at Jasieya, but quickly realized his reaction was wrong, shaking his head, suppressing the rage that could explode anytime.

"The things those guys produced have destroyed countless people, if it weren’t for the neurological modulators of Horizon Corporation, I might have already died in that cesspool.

My home, my daughter, my wife, all were destroyed by those damned things!"

Jasieya felt embarrassed, after all, her boss was in that line of work

"Then you should blame yourself for lacking willpower, getting involved with those things, and now there are so many addictive things, one more isn’t significant."

"Bullshit!"

Jarvis almost ground his teeth to pieces.

"It was those bastards in nightclubs, drugging our drinks, and enticing those underage students, making them addicted and then sending them to clubs to sell...."

His chest heaved violently, taking a while to suppress his anger.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about it. In short, those bastards dying is the best contribution to this world, if the company didn’t forbid me from enlisting, I would point a gun at their heads myself and blow them off!"

Under the propaganda of Horizon Corporation, this drug prohibition war was waged not only in Cuba but also in many cities controlled by the New United States government.

Because there was no need to directly participate in the Cuban war, the New United States government could free up a large army and resources, directly sending these troops into cities to eradicate gangs, and taking the opportunity to reclaim the power of local state governments and strengthen centralization.

Your local governments and companies disagree?

Ask the central government army’s guns first.

This was utterly satisfying for Miles, as the wartime president, he didn’t need to deploy troops abroad and could consolidate internally, even securing military supply orders for Horizon Corporation.

Screw state government federalism, they dragged us down during the unification war, I’m going to be the first emperor of New America now! The second Roosevelt!

Settle scores one by one!

Moreover, new IPs like Super Earth, Caldeia, and software like Voice of the Horizon, which are increasingly widespread, continue to create momentum for ’drug prohibition’, with the most crucial neurological modulators continuously expanding their constraint on ’drugs’.

After forcibly restoring and prohibiting the addiction mechanism of drugs, the resistance encountered would also greatly diminish.

All these factors combined create a momentum seemingly aimed at erasing drugs from the North American region altogether.

Asking the workers of Horizon Corporation if they support Horizon Corporation’s war on Cuba

They will undoubtedly support it in unison.

The most important thing is, this war hasn’t affected the workers’ standard of living, after all, it can’t get much lower than it already was.

Jasieya kept her head down, silent, using a fork to poke at the beef in tomato sauce.

Jarvis suddenly remembered, realizing that Jasieya seemed to be Latin American, so he continued.

"Let me tell you, once our company defeats Havana, when we win, the people on the Cuban side surely won’t live any worse than we do, at least there won’t be people who can’t afford medical expenses for their mothers.

By then, whatever we have, they will have, the Cuban people will send us medicine, and we’ll build houses for them, the workers’ committee calls it the great unity of the world’s people."

"Cuba....like Night City...Horizon Corporation like this..."

Turning people into unthinking killing machines is difficult unless you raise them as illiterates, but illiterates can’t do advanced work.

Havana has such organizations, but clearly, Jasieya is not one of them.

She has a brain, she thinks, she learns.

If Havana’s defeat would make Cuba better....

Then what does it mean for what I’m doing here?

Once this question arose, it couldn’t be stopped.

During the lunch break, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

If Havana was gone, if everyone in Cuba had a job, wouldn’t there be children sold by parents like her?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, the less she knew what she should be doing.

The training of the past clashed violently with the facts she now faced, making her feel as though her soul had been torn in two.
