Chapter 639: Chapter 540 Military Exercise

In mid-June, Lila Nestor gave an interview in which she openly criticized Black Fire Innovation.

"When we talk about ’companies’," she said with a cool and cautious tone, "we’re discussing some very fundamental things—respecting contracts, upholding commodity trade. Every company is willing to acknowledge these two points and upon these principles, they commence their economic activities. Yet now there’s a behemoth that is continuously harming the stability of the Eastern Hemisphere, attempting to intimidate everyone with war and force. Yes, I’m referring to Black Fire Innovation."

"Does this mean Nestor Corporation will take action against Black Fire Innovation?" the host asked curiously, "Of course, this isn’t a question with a preset answer."

"We will," Lila replied with a note of certainty, "We will conduct a public military exercise, dispatching our fleet towards the islands occupied by Black Fire Innovation, to assert our company’s interests."

"For a company that was recently established," the host laughed, "provoking Black Fire Innovation and challenging it seems quite dangerous."

"We defeated New Xisheng in 50 hours," Lila responded indifferently, "When we formally declare war on Black Fire Innovation in the future, keep an eye on the clock."

As soon as these words were spoken, people all over the world who had feared Black Fire Innovation’s military pressure felt immensely relieved.

The news spread like wildfire, and suddenly Nestor Corporation acquired new supporters all around the world.

While other companies exported products, technology, software, and culture, the only exports of Black Fire Innovation since its inception were munitions and war.

"Eliminate the arms dealers!"

"Black Fire Innovation initiated half of the corporate wars in the past 50 years..."

"Finally, someone’s going to deal with Black Fire Innovation!"

After half a year of consolidation, Nestor Corporation will take a strategic step forward and hold a military exercise.

The members of the Disciple Squad knew that the exercise was to support their secret operation. On the societal level, most of the media criticized Nestor Corporation’s bellicose attitude, and real estate companies and investors were skeptical of Nestor’s combat capabilities, fearing the recurrence of a terrifying event like the Martinez’s city raid.

In contrast, the citizens of the Northern Archipelago were full of hope, and the majority of the comments under the related news were overwhelmingly positive.

Black Fire Innovation had occupied several cities to the south of the Northern Archipelago, with corporate cities like Sato City and Bibo City being subjected to slaughter, accumulating a heavy toll in blood debt. Even out of simple compassion for their compatriots, people yearned for Nestor Corporation to expel the enemy and restore the entirety of the Northern Archipelago Continent.

If Nestor Corporation could achieve this, it would indeed live up to the identity of a security contractor, not only capable of preserving the peace of the Archipelago but also powerfully repelling the invaders!

Consequently, various cities spontaneously organized numerous activities to support this military exercise. Some entrepreneurs also saw this as an opportune moment to make connections with Nestor Corporation, providing financial aid, with contributions totaling 27 million Funds in military funding within just three days. Smaller arms manufacturers also threw out orders, requesting Nestor Corporation to purchase their products to bolster firepower.

Around the potential war, all sorts of business opportunities emerged. When all investment avenues were exhausted and sealed, war and plunder became the last frontier of high value.

Kyushu High Pavilion and Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing both congratulated Nestor Corporation on the upcoming military exercise and donated ammunition and materials worth 75 million Funds. Those with diplomatic acumen could see that this was not a gift from heaven but a covert invitation, hoping that Nestor Corporation would fully demonstrate its firepower behind Black Fire Innovation, facilitating the containment of Black Fire Innovation’s military activities and forcing it to divert troops from the main battlefields.

In line with the principle of more is better, Nestor Corporation announced acceptance of the large batch of shells, rockets, and missiles, promising to fully demonstrate their military potential during the exercise.

Under the planning of the propaganda department, the momentum-building campaign began to unfold.

"Wow..."

"A new poster!"

"Impressive!"

"So cool..." citizens admired the new military exercise posters released by Nestor Corporation.

In the publicity image, three space motherships were lined up in a row, showing a forward-advancing posture, exuding sheer majesty.

In the center was the Yokozuna, indestructible, famous for its bespoke reinforced armor, like an unstoppable golden fortress that refuses to fall, intimidating by its sheer presence. With its straight-ahead brute force, it could easily crush opposing forces, being largely immune to a myriad of firepower. Its battle tactics resembled those of a real Yokozuna sumo wrestler, unstoppable and peerless. Initially, during the corporate wars, Nestor Corporation also found it difficult to intercept this massive warship, but now it has been officially incorporated into the company, serving as the corporates’ luxurious main force.

To the left was Chika Island, known for its massive carrying capacity. As an oversized aircraft platform, the entire ship soared high in the air like a ring-shaped island. Over 200 advanced fighters accompanied it, and wherever Chika Island anchored over an enemy corporate city, its attached warplanes could quickly reduce the entire city to ashes.

To the right was Orochi, slender and sharp with a teal green paint job. It was the youngest among the ships and employed more advanced technology, notorious and vicious, outstanding in firepower and speed. Shattered above the sea, it was rebuilt at a miraculous rate, seemingly overnight. The only issue was that the warship troops of Orochi were recently recruited and lacked sufficient experience. This military exercise would also help the new crew of Orochi to be trained, enhancing the combat skills of the newly recruited warship army.
