Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 42 20. It’s a bit interesting
What Carl possesses can be said to be the ability of the golden finger, which is summary. Now, under his memories, he has strung together all the things he encountered after coming to 2075, and linked all the things that can be thought about and connected on it.

Let’s start with the goods.

The Uzumaki Gang is causing trouble in Kabuki, which is the territory of the Tiger Claw Gang.

The Vortex Gang robbed the Sixth Street Gang's cargo that was being transported through the Watson District.

The Whirlpool Gang robbed Blanca's company's goods in Watson District.

Today, the field investigators from the Military Technology Company came to ask the old cargo boss Haywood about the transportation of goods to the Municipal Center. Military Technology has lost the goods.

Stop here for a moment.

Which company is Blanca?
Carl sent a message to Blanca, asking which company she worked for.

"What's wrong? Are you planning to help me with something else? I really admire mercenaries like you."

'Just to learn about the employer's background, think of it as building my network.'

"Why are you suddenly interested? Did you learn something from Faraday?"

Blanca seemed to be free, and after chatting with Carl for a while, she revealed her identity, which was not concealed at all, but Carl never asked about it.

Military technology people.

So looking at it this way, the incident of the half-faced mechanical man asking the old man about the lost goods and Blanca selling the transport vehicle information within the company might be the same thing?
If you calculate the time, it is indeed about the same. Recall what Juanito, Blanca's subordinate and enemy in the company, said.

"You can destroy the evidence of this transportation, but I can give you as much as you want."

The evidence of selling out the Watson District's transportation was destroyed by Carl, Oliver and Jack. That was the first commission Carl received from Blanca, and he said he would give as much as he wanted, which probably meant that it was not the first time that Blanca sold out the transport vehicle routes, and Blanca's partner at that time was the Vortex Gang.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the military technology cargo Heywood was robbed when it was transported to the municipal center, and the robbers were most likely members of the Vortex Gang. After all, the Watson District is right next to the municipal center.

But this is a bit scary.

in conclusion.

The Vortex Gang had offended the Tiger Claw Gang, the Six Street Gang, Militech, and even the Valentino Gang if they had robbed the goods in Heywood.

Although ninety-nine percent of the members of the Whirlpool Gang are crazy, they are still just crazy. They still know what death is. If they are not seeking death deliberately, then there must be some purpose behind this crazy looting behavior.

Considering that during the first Blanca mission, the Vortex Gang casually threw the looted items to the small cadre Demon, what they are looking for may not be evidence of company personnel like Blanca.

So what are they looking for?
For some reason, Carl's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene of the rescue and scavenger mission he had received.

That's a blurry picture of ACPA.

Everyone in Night City knows that the Vortex Gang and the Scavengers are like-minded. The Vortex Gang members advocate prosthetic transformation, and often give the things they took away or the bodies of their former companions who died accidentally to the Scavengers to pay back the money after the transformation. If the ACPA picture is the content extracted by the Scavenger from the chip of a Vortex Gang corpse.
Is this related, or is there no connection?
Carl tried hard to recall what information he had about these gangs, and then he suddenly remembered the cyberpsychopath he met a few days ago.

The cyber psychopath seemed to have vaguely muttered the word "tiger claw", and when he was muttering the word "tiger claw", his spirit was obviously better. The word "tiger claw" must be quite meaningful and even important to him, so much so that he would have a moment of clarity even in the cyber psychopathic state.

The place where this cyberpsychopath breaks out happens to be Kabuki, the territory of the Tiger Claw Gang.

This cyber-psychopath carries an information chip, the contents of which are:

'The cherry blossoms that were born from chrysanthemums and roses have arrived at the Night Glow City.'

The Tiger Claw Gang is a gang composed of Japanese people, and most of them have fathers or themselves who were Japanese in the past. The Tiger Claw Gang is also full of Japanese culture, and the adjectives used in the gang tend to be more Japanese.

Let's analyze it from their perspective. Japan does not have a national flower, but there are two flowers that can be called national flowers, namely the chrysanthemum, which is loved by the royal family, and the cherry blossom, which is loved by the common people.

If we use flowers to represent status, chrysanthemums should represent noble people, and cherry blossoms should represent the common people, then what is the rose?
The rose is the national flower of America.

Carl felt as if he had realized something.

If we explain it from the perspective of this flower, it means that the noble people of Japan and the Americans gave birth to Sakura, who was considered to be a commoner class and no longer a noble person because his father or mother was American.

And this Sakura, who may be of Japanese descent, has arrived in Night City according to the intelligence of a cyberpsycho who is likely to be from the Tiger Claw Gang or is related to the Tiger Claw Gang.

The Tiger Claws are a Japanese gang. It is impossible for them to wreak havoc in Night City without the shadow of a company behind them, just like the Sixth Street Gang where Oliver came from, which works for middlemen with a military technology background, and was originally a gang composed of retired veterans from America.

The Six Street Gang is backed by military technology, while the Tiger Claw Gang is just a company in Night City.

Arasaka.

Later, the mission begins at the Arasaka Seaside Transport Port, where outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The mission is to escort.

Escort whom?

Sakura?
But if it was Sakura, then why would Faraday, who has a military technology background, accept this mission?
rose
Could it be that it’s Rose’s background?
Rose wants to protect her child Sakura?
If we connect these lines of thought together, then this matter will touch upon the scope of secrets that should not be known.

The mortal enemy Arasaka and Military Technology actually joined forces briefly on this mission. How noble is the background of this chrysanthemum, how powerful is the identity of the rose, and how important is the identity of this cherry blossom?
to sum up.

The first piece of information is that the Vortex Gang seems to be looking for something, and they are willing to offend various gangs and companies for this.

The second piece of information is most likely about Sakura, the person he is protecting. Her identity is extremely important and involves Arasaka and military technology.

Transport intelligence.

Freight.

personnel.

Could the Uzumaki Gang's target be Sakura? If so, how could they be so bold? If Sakura's identity was really so special that both Milittech and Arasaka were willing to join forces for this, how could they dare to offend the world's strongest and second-strongest companies?

unless
Carl thought about Blanca and Juanito.

Just like the office feud within Militech, neither company necessarily agreed to the mission. The Vortex Gang might have accepted their employment, just like they accepted Juanito's employment from Militech.

Military technology and Six Street Gang information related to military technology may have been sold out by Blanca and Juanito. So is it possible that there are 'Blanca' and 'Juanito' in Arasaka and Tiger Claw Gang who do not agree with the temporary alliance?

This concludes the information.

Mission, will it be like this?

Carl looked forward to the verification later.

Whether I am just overthinking out of boredom or it is the truth, I will know when the time comes.

If you really guessed it right.
ACPA.

That’s interesting!
