After all, it didn't affect their own interests, so naturally no one would go out of their way to interfere.
They just didn't expect that one day Ascension Technology would actually want to step on them.
These companies now realized what a terrifying threat Ascension Technology was.
This threat didn't come from their desire to expand their business territory.
Instead, it came from the different goals Ascension Technology wanted to achieve.
They realized that Ascension Technology was not a traditional capitalist enterprise whose sole purpose was to gain profit and capital.
On the contrary, Ascension Technology wanted to break all capital. Luoqi, who started from the streets, was inherently an enemy of all companies.
And they absolutely could not let Ascension Technology achieve its goals.
Ascension Technology was pushed to an unprecedented cusp.
Without exception, all companies pointed their spearhead (spearhead) at Ascension Technology. They all united and began to declare war on Ascension Technology.
Whether it was companies that had already been affected or those that were not yet involved, their stance in this incident was very clear.
That was to collectively oppose Ascension Technology.
Whether they were large enterprises or small enterprises, they all represented capital.
And Ascension Technology's actions were undoubtedly challenging the entire capitalist class.
Ascension Technology severely disrupted the rules of the entire corporate world. If Ascension Technology was not dealt with, it would only be a matter of time before they themselves suffered.
A global-scale crazy war was brewing.
And this was exactly the result Ascension Technology wanted.
.....
European Council.
A space council located on an Earth orbit satellite.
A council opposing Ascension Technology was being held here.
In addition to the original council members, representatives from major companies had come here, preparing to discuss matters regarding a joint declaration of war on Ascension Technology.
And the key personnel from major armed companies and major national governments became the main characters of the meeting.
They possessed strong military power and were destined to become the main force targeting Ascension Technology.
Except for Arasaka, almost all powerful military organizations worldwide participated in this meeting.
However, at the meeting, the representative of Military Technology, which was universally acknowledged as having the strongest military power, was not very active.
Unlike everyone present, Military Technology was the only company that had clashed with Ascension Technology.
Precisely because of this, Military Technology was the most aware of Ascension Technology's military strength.
Military Technology's lightning-fast surrender was not just to minimize losses.
The most crucial point was that Military Technology simply had no confidence in winning against Ascension Technology in a head-on war.
And now, the collection of military forces worldwide, although appearing very powerful, one must remember that the most powerful military organizations in the world today are Military Technology and Arasaka.
With Arasaka on the other side, Military Technology was truly unsure if their so-called anti-Ascension Technology alliance could militarily overpower Ascension Technology.
If they couldn't even gain an advantage militarily, what other methods did they have to deal with Ascension Technology?
Policy sanctions, raw material cutoff, technology blockade? Night City, where Ascension Technology's headquarters is located, is now under Ascension Technology's control.
And raw material cutoff and technology blockade were even more absurd.
Furthermore, even if they didn't use military force and planned to suppress Ascension Technology in other aspects, Ascension Technology would absolutely not allow them to do so.
After all, this war was originally initiated by Ascension Technology. Military Technology could clearly feel the strong desire for war from Ascension Technology and Arasaka. They were completely a group of war maniacs who wanted to overthrow the entire world.
Everyone noticed the silence of the Military Technology representative.
"I believe Military Technology has some understanding of Ascension Technology. What are your thoughts on military actions targeting Ascension Technology?"
Someone from the European Council mentioned Military Technology.
The representative of Military Technology glanced at the members of the European Council.
This group of people were the leaders of politicians worldwide, but they represented the New United States of America, and the relationship between Military Technology and them was not very good.
"No thoughts. Regarding everything about that war, I assume you have analyzed the footage. We don't have more detailed data here.
There's not much more to research. A full-scale war against Arasaka, Ascension Technology, and Night City is the only way to break through.
But you also need to be prepared to be defeated by Ascension Technology. This company is absolutely not as simple as you imagine." The Military Technology representative said thoughtfully.
Although Military Technology did not want to face Ascension Technology again, now that Ascension Technology had actively declared war, they could not remain uninvolved and allow Ascension Technology to develop.
No matter how strong Ascension Technology was, this war would probably have to completely erupt.
Either Ascension Technology successfully rules the entire world and takes away everything they have painstakingly accumulated.
Or these companies and governments completely destroy Ascension Technology and Arasaka, divide up all their technology and resources, and firmly grasp this world in their own hands again.
Once camps are formed, it is an unavoidable opposition and war.
Military Technology also understood this point.
"Of course we know we need to go to full-scale war, but Ascension Technology is a company that just appeared not long ago, and we don't know much about it at all. We don't even know what kind of technology it possesses, how many weapons and soldiers it has.
This is the question we want to know. You Military Technology have been developing in Night City for so many years, don't you know anything? Isn't your espionage department very capable?" A member questioned the representative of Military Technology.
And the people from Military Technology, hearing this, were furious and slammed the table, retorting.
"How would I know? If Military Technology knew this, would we have gone to war with Ascension Technology in the first place? Let alone Military Technology, no one in the world knows exactly how many weapons and troops Ascension Technology has."
Ascension Technology is a company that has only been established for half a year on the surface and has only appeared in Night City. Military Technology has searched all over Night City but has not been able to find their military factory, let alone where those idiotic ships and those mech armies on the battlefield came from.
Ascension Technology in Night City has always been synonymous with mystery. Even Arasaka, which helped Luoqi establish Ascension Technology, doesn't know what secrets Ascension Technology is hiding, let alone Military Technology, which is Ascension Technology's enemy.
As for espionage activities, it was even more absurd. No spy sent by any company was able to bring back any useful information from Ascension Technology.
