let's get moving. Welcome

1:14

to the Cyberpunk lowercast, where we

1:17

brave scanning the net to find

1:19

all the deep history and lore

1:21

of Cyberpunk. I'm Toasty, a

1:23

fixer that's new to Night City

1:26

with a desire to jump into

1:28

the details of this gritty setting.

1:30

And I'm Genesis, an old school

1:32

media tech with a love of

1:34

character deep dives. Together, we will

1:36

bring you the foundations of the past,

1:39

the state of Night City today, and

1:41

the news of the future. We've

1:45

got incoming. Let's

1:47

Delta. Welcome back June

1:50

to another episode of

1:53

the Cyberpunk Lord House.

1:55

I'm your girl Genesis

1:57

and with me as...

2:00

always is toast. Hello.

2:02

So I'm actually in

2:04

a hotel room right

2:06

now up in Seattle

2:08

visiting the newest little

2:10

member of the big

2:12

pod family so I'm

2:14

sorry if my audio

2:17

quality is a little

2:19

bit different but it's

2:21

for really really good

2:23

reasons. So I'm excited

2:25

but of course I'm

2:27

also excited to talk

2:29

more cyberpunk. Always running

2:31

to talk cyberpunk. Yeah,

2:33

yeah, we're gonna be continuing

2:36

our Militech talks today. Right.

2:38

Well, they definitely have a

2:40

huge side of the business,

2:43

not necessarily just, you know,

2:45

what else do they do

2:48

besides fight our Osaka? Make

2:50

things to fight our aside.

2:52

I mean, let's just get

2:55

into this. No screen sheets

2:57

to talk about today, I

3:00

don't believe. At least I

3:02

didn't get a DM from

3:04

gin in the middle of

3:07

the week as a update

3:09

on the screen sheet. So

3:11

that means we don't have

3:14

none. So let's just let's

3:16

just dive into this. We

3:19

got a lot to cover

3:21

today anyways. So as you

3:23

may have. A guest at

3:26

this point, Militech is a

3:28

weapons manufacturer. Militech products are

3:30

sold in varying volumes to

3:33

82 countries and over 250

3:35

corporations, not to mention millions

3:38

upon millions of individuals groups,

3:40

gangs, and small companies around

3:42

the world. products that are

3:45

most visible its small arms.

3:47

Milotex fills more pistols, rifles,

3:50

and submachine guns than any

3:52

other single manufacturer in the

3:54

world. That's a lot. Both

3:57

shipments are bought by national

3:59

and corporate armies. Police departments,

4:01

militias, security groups, and so

4:04

on. Individual weapons are sold

4:06

over the counter by hundreds

4:09

of thousands of thousands of

4:11

dealers. And Militec's high sales

4:13

are due in part to

4:16

a hard one reputation for

4:18

producing tough, reliable, and accurate

4:21

products at a reasonable price.

4:23

Once again, it feels like

4:25

I'm reading the sales pitch.

4:28

Pretty much. Now on top

4:30

of that, sizable discounts are

4:32

available for bulk purchasers. And

4:35

the Militech Ronan is still

4:37

the top-selling assault rival in

4:40

the world several years after

4:42

its release. A part of

4:44

this is due to the

4:47

U.S. Army contract, but much

4:49

of it is due to

4:52

strong private sales. I believe

4:54

we talked about that. a

4:56

little bit last week talking

4:59

about that little like competition

5:01

that they had with like

5:03

Militech and a couple other

5:06

arms dealers with the trying

5:08

to pitch their their assault

5:11

rifle to the US government

5:13

or to the US Army.

5:15

Continuing on, another factor is

5:18

the huge selection available. Among

5:20

Militech'sex small arms products are

5:22

small derringer type weapons, special

5:25

load revolvers, hundreds of the

5:27

best pistols rifle and submachine

5:30

gun models in the world,

5:32

sporting arms, special purpose weapons

5:34

such as long range sniper

5:37

rifles, squad automatic weapons, full-size

5:39

machine guns, and shotguns. Each

5:42

model has options. This means

5:44

that any small arms needs

5:46

you may have can be

5:49

filled by one company. This

5:51

is an advantage to bulk

5:53

contractors like armies and corporations

5:56

who would prefer to have

5:58

to deal with only one

6:01

maintenance and resupply contract. Makes

6:03

a lot of sense, like

6:05

logistically, and real world, like

6:08

this is what you would

6:10

want. Yeah, I haven't looked

6:13

into... I don't know what

6:15

that's like, like, like, in

6:17

like, like, a real life,

6:20

how that, how that, like,

6:22

how that, like, like, works

6:24

out? with like how I

6:27

guess the US military like

6:29

contracts its weapons or whatever.

6:32

I think you kind of

6:34

often see that in like

6:36

typically portrayed in like media

6:39

at least or whatever you

6:41

know like my thing is

6:44

I think like I think

6:46

like Marvel you know dark

6:48

industries basically supplies the the

6:51

military as well as others

6:53

until he fixes that. So

6:56

this our soccer versus

6:58

Militech is really just

7:00

a retelling of Stark

7:02

versus Hammer Industries? Exactly.

7:04

Yeah, it's that it's

7:07

that our stock is

7:09

actually a good like

7:11

actually makes quality things

7:13

whereas Hammer Industries is

7:15

just fucking dog shit.

7:17

God this was nice.

7:19

It's rare to find

7:21

It's such a doofy-ass

7:24

character that you hate,

7:26

like, Justin Hammer from

7:28

Iron, too. God. I

7:30

loved him and I

7:32

hated him at the

7:34

same time. Oh yeah,

7:36

he was a very

7:38

well-written douchebag. Like, yeah.

7:41

All right, so we've

7:43

talked about the small

7:45

arms. Let's talk about

7:47

the heavy arms. There

7:49

are four main departments

7:51

of heavy weapons manufacture.

7:53

The airborne delivery systems.

7:55

the non-projectile ordinance, artillery

7:57

and heavy projectile systems,

8:00

and light projectiles. systems.

8:02

Within these companies, these

8:04

departments are known by

8:06

their initials. ADS, NPO,

8:08

AHPS, and LPS. Airborne

8:10

delivery specializes in missiles

8:12

and bombs. They design

8:14

and manufacture Militex extensive

8:17

line of air to

8:19

air, surface to air,

8:21

and surface to surface

8:23

missiles. Every which way.

8:25

Also, unguided rockets and

8:27

general and special purpose

8:29

bombs of several varieties.

8:31

Non-projectile ordinance is the

8:34

department responsible for research

8:36

development and manufacture of

8:38

things like landmines, grenades,

8:40

satchel charges, demolitions packages,

8:42

and specialized explosives such

8:44

as liquids, such as

8:46

liquids, such as liquids,

8:48

microcaps and debt cords.

8:50

Weapons upon weapons upon

8:53

weapons upon weapons. Did

8:55

we mention there are

8:57

weapons manufacture? Maybe. I'm

8:59

starting to get that

9:01

feeling. This department also

9:03

produces the explosives used

9:05

by the airborne delivery

9:07

in their warheads. Artillery

9:10

is just what it

9:12

says. They design and

9:14

produce both the guns

9:16

themselves and the shells

9:18

that they fire, again

9:20

using non-projectile ordinances explosives.

9:22

Artillery products include everything

9:24

from super long-range weapons

9:27

to light mortars, grenade

9:29

launchers, and man-portable anti-armor

9:31

rockets. They also make

9:33

the heavy guns that

9:35

mount on top of

9:37

tanks, armored cars, and

9:39

some armored personnel carrier

9:41

chassis. Light projectile weapons

9:43

make such things as

9:46

20 and 30 millimeter

9:48

canons of Vulcan type

9:50

multi-barrel machine guns and

9:52

other heavy machine guns

9:54

many of these weapons

9:56

find way atop armored

9:58

vehicles with artillery's products

10:00

or into aircraft. Weapons.

10:03

Weapons. Weapons. Weapons upon

10:05

weapons. But now we

10:07

get to switch it

10:09

a little bit because

10:11

vehicles. We've got some

10:13

cars to talk about

10:15

maybe, but I don't

10:17

think they're going to

10:20

be just your nice

10:22

little drive around the

10:24

city car. Now,

10:26

although many components of Militex

10:29

vehicles are subcontracted, their catalog

10:31

includes light-wheeled vehicles, armored personnel

10:33

carriers, armored tanks, armored hovercraft,

10:36

small boats, and submarines, large

10:38

ships, vectored thrust aircraft, and

10:41

true jet aircraft. My God,

10:43

they do everything. Yeah, I

10:45

based, I, from my understanding,

10:48

I believe, like true jet

10:50

aircraft, you know, like, what

10:53

is an F22, is, you

10:55

know, that like the standard,

10:57

like, fighter pilot, but also,

11:00

or fighter jet, but I

11:02

think vector thrust aircraft are

11:04

the ones that like, probably

11:07

like AVs where they can

11:09

like, adjust their, like, they're

11:12

more. Yes, the AVs I

11:14

think count more as hover,

11:16

but like the ones that

11:19

kind of can change direction

11:21

more like easily rather than

11:23

like a plane that you

11:26

know, you have to like,

11:28

you know, fly a jet

11:31

a certain way. This kind

11:33

of has more of a

11:35

maneuverability aspect, I believe. Okay.

11:38

I was, do they make

11:40

the personal hovercraft ones all

11:43

like Falcon or anybody with

11:45

a jet pack pack? I

11:47

want a jet pack damn

11:50

it. I don't know if

11:52

they make those or if

11:54

that's really even in cyberpunk

11:57

Can I go full mando?

11:59

cyber punched. I mean, probably,

12:02

right? Like, probably, there's something

12:04

like that. Looking up, I'm

12:06

looking up these, the, the

12:09

vector thrust, the vector thrust,

12:11

Evtole, I don't know. Yeah,

12:14

they're like, they look like,

12:16

like, like, specialized helicopters that

12:18

have like multiple like different

12:21

blades on the tops I

12:23

guess that allow for maneuverability.

12:25

So I'm trying to think

12:28

of like what media I've

12:30

seen that represented and I

12:33

just can't think of anything

12:35

off the top of my

12:37

head. But I can totally

12:40

picture a helicopter shape with

12:42

different types of fans, not

12:45

just one worthy blade. So

12:47

at least I can picture

12:49

that. All right, now many

12:52

of these products are manufactured

12:54

under the name of a

12:56

subsidiary firm, but it usually

12:59

doesn't take much searching to

13:01

find a Militech company captioned

13:04

somewhere near their logo. Many

13:06

of these companies were former

13:08

competitors that Militech hammered into

13:11

financial oblivion and bought during

13:13

its period of rapid expansion

13:15

in the early 2010s. That's

13:19

funny that we were talking about

13:22

Justin Hammer and that's how it

13:24

takes out here hammering other companies.

13:26

Military branded vehicles are sold mostly

13:29

to nations and corporations. There are,

13:31

however, a few extremely wealthy individuals

13:34

out there whose private security troops

13:36

have some Militech armored cars or

13:38

vector thrust attack craft at their

13:41

disposal. So I'm going to open

13:43

up my girly girl here and

13:46

we're going to start talking about

13:48

accessories. Do I get to start

13:50

talking about like earrings and necklaces?

13:53

Because I'm a ring girl. I

13:55

love my rings. I'm wearing one,

13:58

two, three, four right now. will

14:00

find out. Militech markets

14:02

a variety of military

14:04

and paramilitary accessories. In

14:07

this group of products

14:09

accounts for much of the

14:11

corporation's sales to private individuals.

14:14

Many products in their diverse

14:16

accessory line are appealing to

14:18

people who have no need

14:21

for firepower and no interest

14:23

in military items. They also

14:25

sell in large numbers to

14:28

the same people and organizations

14:30

who purchase weapon systems. The

14:32

wide demographic appeal of the

14:34

accessories makes them second only

14:37

in small arms in terms

14:39

of sales volume for

14:41

Militec. Naturally, there are also

14:44

thousands of other items

14:46

in the Militec accessory

14:49

catalog. including body armor,

14:51

clothing, field rations, knives,

14:54

weapons accessories, vehicular accessories,

14:57

books and information disks,

14:59

security equipment, exotic melee

15:02

and arranged weapons, survival

15:05

equipment, and so on.

15:07

These items are sold at

15:09

showrooms and are available through

15:11

mail order from catalogs available

15:13

on hyper stack disk or

15:16

in print. Okay. Right. I

15:18

mean. body armor and clothing.

15:20

I guess I can count that

15:22

as accessorizing.

15:24

Yeah, I mean, that's pretty. It

15:26

says so on. So, you know,

15:28

so on can mean anything.

15:30

And weapons accessories. Okay, so

15:33

if I want to hang

15:35

a charmed angle off the

15:37

back of a shotgun, this

15:39

is where I'd buy it from.

15:41

Probably. Yeah. All right.

15:44

Now we move on to their

15:46

special projects. Militech

15:48

has highly secretive research

15:50

and development facilities where

15:52

work on potentially profitable

15:54

new weapons and accessory

15:57

systems is carried out. These

15:59

facilities are also the

16:01

site of what are known

16:03

within the corporation as special

16:06

projects. The Special Projects Department

16:08

is the group of people

16:11

responsible for the development of

16:13

those ideas considered too exotic,

16:16

sensitive, potentially dangerous, or PR

16:18

damaging for regular development channels.

16:21

All security around Special Projects

16:23

people and development sites is

16:26

fearsome, with only the most

16:28

trusted and experienced of troops

16:31

and security agents being... The

16:33

threat of extraction or corporate

16:35

espionage against the Special Projects

16:38

Department is so high that

16:40

Milotec has been known to

16:43

order the assassination of some

16:45

of its own lower executives

16:48

who have been accidental Dentily

16:50

exposed to sensitive SPD data.

16:53

Geez. I mean, if I

16:55

accidentally learned something, oops, I

16:58

opened the wrong memo attachment

17:00

or somebody left something on

17:03

the copier, I might get

17:05

shot. That's not fair. Or,

17:08

you know, perhaps, you know,

17:10

like the tape share. plans

17:13

for military maneuvers that they're

17:15

going to make through a

17:18

text chain in a group

17:20

chat. Sorry, I had to

17:23

go on that one. That

17:25

one. Yeah. Um, you just

17:28

hold up your tea. Yeah,

17:30

I got C too. Anyways.

17:33

Where's the tea? Anyway, so

17:35

we're definitely thinking that area

17:38

51 has a Militech special

17:40

projects division like compound with

17:43

it, right? For sure. Yeah.

17:45

Now the special. Project Department's

17:48

programs had been rumored to

17:50

include the genetic and biochemical

17:53

alteration of human beings and

17:55

animals to produce more durable

17:57

battlefield soldiers and guard animals.

18:00

So, Captain America, the Super

18:02

Soldier Serum, I guess. The

18:05

second generation combat drugs that

18:07

can provide the desired effects

18:10

without burning out the soldier

18:12

or producing messy addictions, short-term

18:15

biological agents that can sterilize

18:17

a large area and then

18:20

revert to harmless states within

18:22

hours or minutes. So biochemical

18:25

warfare that's untraceable? I see

18:27

now why they don't want

18:30

any of this to leak

18:32

out. Yeah, this is, that's

18:35

pretty bad. Refined ballistic body

18:37

armors that can stop high

18:40

energy projectiles and then dissipate

18:42

the kinetic energy so that

18:45

the wear doesn't suffer the

18:47

crushing impact of a non-penetrating

18:50

bullet. Huh? That's the Black

18:52

Panther armor. Yeah, pretty much.

18:55

Tiny, cybernetically controlled assassination robots!

18:57

No! And satellite and portable

19:00

battlefield model high energy beam

19:02

weapons for anti-ship and armories.

19:05

So fucking rail guns and

19:07

satellite cannons. Wow. Militech be

19:10

doing some shit. For sure.

19:12

That's crazy. No, I don't

19:15

remember being this terrified while

19:17

going through Arasaka manufacturing. Yeah,

19:19

yeah, they weren't, they weren't

19:22

into this love. of shit

19:24

I don't think. There's also

19:27

been a minute and I

19:29

tend to repress trauma and

19:32

terror so I don't know

19:34

I could be misremembering. There

19:37

was some pretty bad stuff

19:39

but I think like most

19:42

of its history has been

19:44

like bombarded by like I

19:47

guess instances that kind of

19:49

halt their progress, whereas Militech

19:52

kind of has had the

19:54

ability to just consistently work,

19:57

because it's like, Arasaka was

19:59

like, coming from the ground

20:02

up, you know, getting to

20:04

where they're at, then all

20:07

progress being basically halted by

20:09

the nuke, and then like

20:12

having to reconsiderate all of

20:14

the faction warring that was

20:17

going on. to then finally

20:19

be able to reintroduce themselves

20:22

back into the mainland states

20:24

and then having to essentially

20:27

like renew themselves from the

20:29

ground up plus the change

20:32

in leadership that like with

20:34

different yeah the changes in

20:37

leadership but play into the

20:39

factored politics where they all

20:41

had different ideas on how

20:44

to do things so like

20:46

yeah you know there's been

20:49

a lot of like preventative

20:51

measures in Arasaka, whereas Militek

20:54

seems like they've just been

20:56

real gung-ho for these things.

20:59

You know, that all makes

21:01

sense. So, wow, somebody must

21:04

have put a real lot

21:06

of thought and energy into

21:09

the law. All right, so

21:11

let's move on to the

21:14

police. Militek contracts police services

21:16

to cities around the world.

21:19

Militex Police Services Department is

21:21

smaller than that of its

21:24

rival Arasaka, however it is

21:26

much more common in the

21:29

United States than Arasaka's police

21:31

group. Although Arasaka does contract

21:34

police services in several U.S.

21:36

cities because the competition Militech

21:39

has been unable to contract

21:41

any of its services in

21:44

Japan and other areas in

21:46

Asia and Europe. Militech has

21:49

attempted to become more accessible

21:51

to these nations, however it

21:54

has been increasingly difficult. And

21:56

that I understand. Militech would

21:58

have a very hard time

22:01

breaking into Japan. Yeah, Japan

22:03

is definitely like truly lockdown.

22:06

Harasaka is going to make

22:08

sure of that. It's like,

22:11

it's like when it comes

22:13

to like my, the company

22:16

I work for in the

22:18

cities of San Antonio and

22:21

Austin, we control like over

22:23

85% of the market. So

22:26

like, There's like still like,

22:28

you know, other grocery chains

22:31

operating in there, you know,

22:33

because Walmart's fucking everywhere, but

22:36

like they basically have everything

22:38

like fully under control, whereas

22:41

like, you know, Houston's a

22:43

bit more, a bit more

22:46

like loose. I think it's

22:48

close to like in the

22:51

40s or something. So like,

22:53

yeah, definitely like if another

22:56

grocery chain tries to move

22:58

into Austin or San Antonio,

23:01

it's just like, hey, no,

23:03

no. But by, you're not

23:06

going to get much success

23:08

here. So, but you know,

23:11

moving on, we have mercenaries.

23:13

Militech maintains a large standing

23:16

army by most corporate standards

23:18

and hires its troops out

23:20

as a service to their

23:23

corporations, nations, and wealthy individuals.

23:25

Militex mercenaries are neither as

23:28

specialized as Arasaka's primarily security-oriented

23:30

troops nor as diverse as

23:33

the Lazarus groups a variety

23:35

of multi-purpose soldiers and agents.

23:38

Except in special situations, Militech

23:40

hires out only all-purpose line

23:43

soldiers. They are competent troops

23:45

trained for a variety of

23:48

special situations, including airborne, amphibious,

23:50

and all-terrain operations. But they

23:53

are not special forces soldiers,

23:55

and they lack the experience

23:58

necessary for most special ops

24:00

or super-specialized missions. Militek has

24:03

no shortage of specialized troops,

24:05

but it retains them for

24:08

its own use. Militex soldiers

24:10

are generally contracted out to

24:13

corporations or nations for basic

24:15

infantry reinforcement in urban or

24:18

field situations. Force sizes range

24:20

from a hundred man minimum

24:23

to a 10,000 man maximum,

24:25

depending on availability. 10,000 men

24:28

is so many. It's so

24:30

many. That's like that's like

24:33

the number that's more than

24:35

like they think the average

24:38

numbers that they used to

24:40

like fight with back in

24:42

the day like whatever they

24:45

they talk about like all

24:47

of the really like grand

24:50

like fantasy movies like Lord

24:52

of the Rings like they

24:55

they had like so many

24:57

fucking like soldiers in their

25:00

arm. It's like like realistically

25:02

that these these these individuals

25:05

were like fighting with. you

25:07

know, like hundreds to like

25:10

low thousands when it came

25:12

to things, like me throw

25:15

out the, uh, the, what

25:17

was it, the Ilead, Odysseus

25:20

went the war with 600

25:22

men, 600, and that was

25:25

like, you know, that's what

25:27

they had to operate. They,

25:30

of course, were, there was

25:32

others involved, but it's still

25:35

like, that's the kind of

25:37

aid that people would lend

25:40

is like, they didn't get

25:42

into... 10,000 people, that's a

25:45

lot of people, like, and

25:47

to think of all of

25:50

them marching into a battle,

25:52

it's like, that would all.

25:55

make a you know stick

25:57

claim or like make a

26:00

powerful statement like I'm able

26:02

to amass this army this

26:04

fast it's it's great it's

26:07

like they're they're doing reinforcement

26:09

so imagine ordering a 10,000

26:12

man reinforcement to your like

26:14

your already established that's insane

26:17

Anyone requiring specialized troops or

26:19

troops in greater or lesser

26:22

numbers than those offered by

26:24

Militec is referred to the

26:27

Lazarus Group. Militec has been

26:29

known to let other companies

26:32

or nations use its special

26:34

ops troops, but this typically

26:37

happens only when the corporation

26:39

has something other than contract

26:42

money to gain. from the

26:44

operation. For instance, Militech would

26:47

leave special ops troops to

26:49

a smaller company who wanted

26:52

to attempt an espionage, but

26:54

only if that mission would

26:57

damage a Militech competitor, or

26:59

lead to an increase in

27:02

business for one of Militech's

27:04

departments. Alternatively, Militech has been

27:07

known to let small companies

27:09

use its special ops troops

27:12

to steal secrets that it

27:14

has wanted for itself. The

27:17

corporation has then taken over

27:19

the smaller company and absorbed

27:21

all of its assets and

27:24

data. Because it's cyberpunk. This

27:26

method has the advantage of

27:29

divorcing the corporation one step

27:31

from any blame for the

27:34

operation, but it's usually only

27:36

employed when Militech was already

27:39

planning a buyout of the

27:41

smaller company. Strategic maneuvers, I

27:44

guess. Now, Militech regional offices

27:46

can range in size from

27:49

towers comparable to their Roslyn

27:51

headquarters to smaller one-room offices

27:54

staffed by a single representative.

27:56

Most major offices have a

27:59

fair-sized Militech office building for

28:01

the handling of local distribution,

28:04

management, and contract sales, and

28:06

at least one or two

28:09

showrooms for retail sales. Regional

28:11

offices handle all local bulk

28:14

arms contracts, mercenary contracting, distribution,

28:16

and other paperwork. Regional offices

28:19

also contain the headquarters for

28:21

the local ranking Militech officer.

28:24

This individual with their other

28:26

staff is responsible for overseeing

28:29

and coordinating all local military

28:31

endeavors and black operations. They

28:34

answer directly to the district

28:36

operations coordinator back in Rosslin.

28:39

Major Militech regional offices can

28:41

be found in New York

28:43

City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los

28:46

Angeles, Night City, Mexico City,

28:48

Rio de Janeiro, Bocaota, Tokyo.

28:51

So they have an office

28:53

in Tokyo. Beijing, London, Berlin,

28:56

Moscow, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Cairo,

28:58

and Nairobi. Smaller offices can

29:01

be located worldwide as well

29:03

as showrooms containing their products.

29:06

Okay, all right. Definitely worldwide.

29:08

Wow. Just a worldwide, 305.

29:11

Also, why would you, I

29:13

don't see the reason for

29:16

having three major offices all

29:18

within California, but whatever, I

29:21

get it. We know California

29:23

is a player when it

29:26

comes to like the cyberpunk

29:28

universe, like it has a

29:31

lot of, because it's, it's,

29:33

I think it's the separation,

29:36

because it's what, Northern California

29:38

and Southern California, because those

29:41

are two separate things, rather

29:43

than just being. the whole

29:46

of California, one being part

29:48

of NUSA and one being

29:51

part of the free states.

29:53

So, yeah, and I mean,

29:56

you need an office in

29:58

Knight City, so. Of course.

30:00

All right. Well, with that, I think

30:02

this is a good spot for us

30:05

to take a quick little

30:07

midbreak before we come back

30:09

and talk even more Militech.

31:22

and not the Lord of Cyberpunk.

31:24

I do have a new patron

31:27

to shout out. Viblet. V-I-B-E-L-E-T. I

31:29

feel like that's like a small

31:31

vibe. because you add let to

31:33

the end of something like a

31:36

piglet is a tiny little pig

31:38

so a vibe would be like

31:40

a tiny little vibe if that's

31:43

not what your name means I

31:45

am so sorry but that's the

31:47

vibe I got off of that name

31:49

but I'm sure the vibe let you

31:51

get off that name I got a

31:53

little vibe let off of it fair

31:56

enough new word has entered the

31:58

looks the lexicon don't have

32:00

any new reviews to shout

32:03

out, but once again, thank

32:05

you to all of our

32:07

patrons. Thank you to everyone

32:09

who has given us ratings

32:11

and reviews on Spotify and

32:13

has been leaving the comments.

32:16

I think we did have

32:18

a cool one to go

32:20

over. I sent to you

32:22

earlier. Oh, well, maybe not.

32:24

It just dawned on me

32:26

how hilarious and sad it

32:29

is that the US had

32:31

to collapse for people to

32:33

finally give a chance to

32:35

not one, but two female

32:37

presidents. Thank you, Daniel. Yeah.

32:39

Maybe we should just let

32:42

it all burn. Yeah, I

32:44

mean we spent a lot

32:46

of time with him. He's

32:48

bad enough time with him.

32:50

He's bad evidence. Yeah, great.

32:52

Johnny's influencing the more than

32:55

he should. I think that's

32:57

everything that we have for

32:59

the middle of the show.

33:01

Let's get back into it.

33:09

Now we're going to

33:11

talk a little bit

33:14

about Milotex public relationships.

33:16

How do they look

33:18

in the eye of

33:21

the public? I have

33:23

a guess. I have

33:26

a guess. Intimidating, but

33:28

possibly reliable. But also,

33:31

depending, probably frequently unlikable.

33:34

or the evil bad guy

33:36

because I work for Arasaka

33:38

and therefore have been indoctrinated

33:40

to automatically hate all Militek

33:42

things. I mean if you're

33:45

fucking involved in Militek or

33:47

new so you've kind of

33:49

been indoctrinated to hate all

33:51

things Arasaka so you know

33:53

it's it'd be like that.

33:55

The Milite Corporation has struggled

33:57

with public relations since its

34:00

inception as a mega corporation.

34:02

Militek is often seen as

34:04

a role. liable corporation for

34:06

supplies and weapons alike. I

34:08

called that one. However, the

34:10

corporation itself is seen as

34:13

a danger, especially within the

34:15

news. Over the decades, the

34:17

corporation has had its control

34:19

over NUSA and uses much

34:21

of its resources and capital

34:23

to benefit themselves for expansion.

34:25

However, the board of directors

34:28

have attempted to change this

34:30

image of the corporation by

34:32

supplying the police and army

34:34

with much needed defensive arsenal,

34:36

as well as contracting its

34:38

forces to stabilize and secure

34:41

the news from the threat

34:43

of nomad clans. Hey, that's

34:45

a tough one to read

34:47

nowadays. Please, please don't, please

34:49

stop, please stop, just stop

34:51

giving the police weaponry like

34:53

that. Don't need it. Militech

34:56

has also been responsible for

34:58

sponsoring shows and providing cyberware

35:00

or computer components to people

35:02

who require them. At the

35:04

same time, Militech uses its

35:06

influence to bring a negative

35:09

agenda and propaganda towards foreign

35:11

influences, mainly Asian or European

35:13

influences. By Asian, they just

35:15

been fucking our soccer. I

35:17

mean, come on. Yeah. Uh,

35:20

was it the fourth

35:22

corporate war, the musical? You

35:24

know that it was all

35:27

that. Yeah, I forgot

35:29

that there was a

35:31

fourth corporate war, the musical.

35:33

Stop fucking ridiculous. Right, so

35:36

we do have some

35:38

enemies and allies to

35:40

go over. In 2020, Lundy's

35:42

envy of the Arisaka

35:45

Chief and the Arisaka

35:47

Corporation in general was widely

35:49

known. Yada! Many experts expected

35:52

the regular scraps between

35:54

Militech and Arasaka to

35:56

explode into a full-scale war

35:58

some... time before 2030.

36:00

This prediction was soon

36:02

seen in the fourth corporate

36:05

war. It was early in

36:07

the 2020s too. It

36:09

was 2020. Before 2023,

36:11

technically. So yeah, now, so

36:14

we were fully aware of

36:16

that one. That's the

36:18

big one. Militex attempts

36:20

to monopolize the arms industry

36:23

have made it the

36:25

natural enemy of many

36:27

other arms companies. Makes sense.

36:29

As well as that of

36:32

several larger corporations that

36:34

have weapons manufacturing subsidiaries.

36:36

Among the more vehement and

36:38

troublesome of Militex weapons

36:40

industry enemies were independence,

36:42

Sternmeyer, Orafen Fabricic, essay, and

36:45

federated arms. So I'm assuming

36:47

that that first one

36:49

is a Dutch or

36:51

German arms company. And I

36:54

think we talked a

36:56

little bit last week

36:58

about federated arms. So larger

37:00

corporations that Militec had tensions

37:03

with were Schumannstein and

37:05

IEC conglomerates. During the

37:07

2010s, Militec. In addition, Colonel

37:09

Emily Lazarus and General Lundy

37:12

knew each other from

37:14

their days in the

37:16

military and our personal friends.

37:18

However, Colonel Lazarus disagreed

37:20

with his friends' antagonistic

37:22

views of Arasaka and disliked

37:25

the shift in Lundy's thinking,

37:27

away from the pursuit

37:29

of military excellence and

37:31

towards the fulfillment of personal

37:34

power goals. So I'm

37:36

wondering now if it's

37:38

not Emily, but like a

37:40

meal. I think it's I

37:43

think it's a meal.

37:45

If I had to

37:47

get that's what it looks

37:49

like is a meal.

37:51

I guess there's your

37:53

minor screen sheet, I think

37:56

we said Emily last week,

37:58

so Militech has managed

38:00

to irritate several national

38:02

governments around the world, mostly

38:05

because it supplies their

38:07

enemies. But none of

38:09

those small countries have the

38:11

power to cause Militech much

38:14

trouble beyond their borders.

38:16

Militech's closest national ally

38:18

is the Nusa. course, as

38:21

far as international influence goes,

38:23

that's strictly a zero,

38:25

since following the collapse,

38:27

the phrase American international power

38:30

is widely considered oxymoronic.

38:32

I mean, to be

38:34

fair, they can't even manage

38:36

to nail down like the

38:39

mainland United States, because

38:41

it's all separated now,

38:43

because it's like they have

38:45

the news. Texas is

38:47

its own thing. They

38:49

have the California free states

38:52

that like can, I think

38:54

that extended like confederation

38:56

of free states or

38:58

whatever in the top, but

39:01

the Pacific Northwest. So

39:03

like all of that

39:05

stuff, they can't even bring

39:07

that back. It's, so they

39:10

call it the new

39:12

United States of America,

39:14

but it's less united than

39:16

the old one. That's

39:19

very true. And if you

39:21

want to hear more on

39:24

that, go back and listen

39:26

to all of our episodes

39:29

where we were traveling around

39:31

the different districts of the

39:34

United States. Those were fun

39:36

episodes learning about other locations

39:38

outside of just Night City.

39:41

Yeah, we've taken a full

39:43

trip around the world now.

39:46

Yeah. It's crazy. Militech is

39:48

far from having no controversies,

39:50

so let's get into some

39:53

of them. Militech is often

39:55

accused of taking part in

39:58

ethically shady or blatantly illegal

40:00

black ops. such as hiring

40:02

out their private military to

40:05

support revolutions, military crews, assassinations,

40:07

terrorist attacks, and ethnic cleansings.

40:10

The company was also suspected

40:12

of planting and detonating the

40:15

nuclear bomb in the Arasaka

40:17

Night City headquarters in 2023,

40:19

though no evidence has ever

40:22

validated those claims. Hmm. Maybe

40:24

we should do a deep

40:27

dive into that whole conspiracy.

40:29

What do you think? I

40:31

mean, we got my ways

40:34

for us to look V

40:36

knows what's up. B knows

40:39

the truth. Not that anyone

40:41

else. Believe me, I think.

40:43

Unfortunately, Silverhead dropped in my

40:46

head. Believe me, it was

40:48

him that did it. Yeah,

40:51

no, nobody's gonna believe you

40:53

did. Yeah. In 2077, Militech

40:56

was caught massacring innocent citizens

40:58

of the U.S.A. 75% of

41:00

the victims of these massacres

41:03

had been identified as Japanese.

41:05

And along with much evidence

41:08

towards the corporation, many have

41:10

suspected Militech to be against

41:12

foreign influence in the country.

41:15

For decades, the presidents of

41:17

the NUSA had been previous

41:20

higher ups or even CEO

41:22

of the mega corporation, which

41:24

has led to Militech gaining

41:27

much support from the government.

41:29

So yes, we have, we

41:32

were talking about this a

41:34

little bit. President Kress was

41:36

the former CEO of Militek.

41:39

Roslyn Meyer was also a,

41:41

she wasn't a CEO, but

41:44

she was also a member,

41:46

actually she might have been.

41:49

Actually she was, yeah, so

41:51

she, so yeah. We have

41:53

Kress and Meyer both former

41:56

CEOs of Militech. That definitely

41:58

doesn't like stink of corporate

42:01

influence in the government. Hmm.

42:03

This is this is unfortunately

42:05

too fucking real right now.

42:08

I just can't believe that

42:10

this happened in 2017. Like.

42:13

This to me seems like

42:15

something Lundy would have been

42:17

doing in his like full-on

42:20

war with the borough. Yeah,

42:22

I don't know. It's like

42:25

it just it like stinks

42:27

of the like the way

42:30

that Asian American citizens were.

42:32

were treated post Pearl Harbor.

42:34

So again, can't stand out

42:37

of 2077. Like I'm trying

42:39

to like what citizens of

42:42

the in USA have fought

42:44

against the whole Militech has

42:46

had on the country. However,

42:49

no success has been seen.

42:51

You know, and I'm going

42:54

to call this one out

42:56

and make it a scream

42:58

sheet because I want to

43:01

know where this. where this

43:03

info came from? Like is

43:06

this a shard that we

43:08

find out about? Is this

43:11

a news report? How do

43:13

we know about this in

43:15

77? Because that's gonna be

43:18

game data and I don't

43:20

remember hearing about this. But

43:23

we can figure that out.

43:25

Yep. Okay. Militech has also

43:27

been shown to disregard veterans

43:30

of their corporate military after

43:32

they retire. These veterans are

43:35

often discovered without proper medication

43:37

or were even massacred by

43:39

Militek themselves. These massacres had

43:42

also led to a poor

43:44

relationship with the various nomads

43:47

within the Nusa. Yeah, because

43:49

you know treating your veterans

43:51

just respectfully and not giving

43:54

them the type of medication

43:56

that they need and all

43:59

of the aftercare from being

44:01

in fucking war Yeah, this

44:04

is how we got Mitch

44:06

and scorpion Yeah, I don't

44:08

think they were involved in

44:11

Militech court, but you know,

44:13

they are vets so I

44:16

can I can definitely see

44:18

a handful of nomads that

44:20

it consisted of of of

44:23

retired military officers or or

44:25

members so well wait a

44:28

minute I think they were

44:30

Militech because they had worked

44:32

with the that's why they

44:35

wanted the basilisk they wanted

44:37

to hit the Militech things

44:40

yeah I think they were

44:42

Militech Like, because the Basilisk,

44:45

I mean, that would have

44:47

just been something, because if

44:49

he was just part of

44:52

the basic military, which is

44:54

provided all its weaponry via

44:57

Militech, he would understand. Right,

44:59

right. Sorry, but not actually

45:01

working in the Militech. He's

45:04

opposite, actually, because Mitch was,

45:06

Mitch and scorpion fought for

45:09

the free states during the

45:11

unification war. So they are

45:13

the opposite side. They were

45:16

not. part of Militech. They

45:18

are, they were, so, yeah,

45:21

because Militech was providing stuff

45:23

for both sides in the

45:26

war. That doesn't sound incorrect

45:28

at all. But we continue

45:30

on now to talk about

45:33

our resources and capital. Militech

45:35

is one of the big

45:38

ten corporations of the world.

45:40

Militech is one of the

45:42

big ten corporations of the

45:45

world. Militech is one of

45:47

the big ten corporations of

45:50

the world. Number six to

45:52

be exact. The corporation's diverse

45:54

line of products. It's wide

45:57

ranging subsidiaries and the huge

45:59

2020 market for weapons and

46:02

military accessories all contribute to

46:04

its success. Analysts have projected

46:06

continued growth for Militech over

46:09

the next several years and

46:11

it is no secret that

46:14

the board of directors is

46:16

eyeing a spot in the

46:19

top five. That would put

46:21

Militech in the company of

46:23

other mega courts such as

46:26

EBM, Arisaka, International Electric, and

46:28

so on. So, you know,

46:31

there we go. I don't

46:33

remember if we ever found

46:35

that list of the. the

46:38

big 10 corporations, but there's

46:40

some of them. Yeah, I

46:43

was going through my notebook

46:45

just the other day, looking

46:47

for a blank page, and

46:50

I saw the list that

46:52

we had started creating. So

46:55

now I can use this

46:57

data to update it even

47:00

more when I get back

47:02

home. Because I think like

47:04

number nine was so loyal.

47:07

How much are they actually

47:09

worth? Because I don't think

47:12

they actually have any corporate

47:14

values. That is something different.

47:16

Yeah. In 2020, Militex total

47:19

value and assets and holdings

47:21

was €432 billion with a

47:24

B, putting it only 50

47:26

billion behind number one, the

47:28

euro business machines. and 43

47:31

billion behind the corporation's main

47:33

competitor, Arasaka. These numbers are

47:36

still hugely chinormous to even

47:38

try and comprehend. Oh yeah,

47:40

it was only 43 billion

47:43

behind. Oh my. A

47:46

Militec's 432 billion worth

47:48

was divided among a

47:50

variety of assets and

47:52

holdings. Unlike some other

47:54

large corporations, Militec has

47:56

no bank attached to

47:58

it and couldn't count

48:00

outstanding loans and interest

48:02

towards its assets. Yet

48:05

it does have prodigious

48:07

annual sales and the

48:09

profit value of those

48:11

contracts and sales are

48:13

considered part of the

48:15

corporation's worth. Okay. And

48:17

Militech was nationalized

48:19

by the NUSA

48:22

and that made

48:24

it possible by

48:26

the ex-employee Elizabeth

48:28

Cress. The corporations

48:30

shared its monetary

48:32

value with the

48:35

country. This raised

48:37

Militex assets and

48:39

holdings to 1.2

48:41

trillion. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

48:43

Yep. I can't remember

48:46

if we ever found

48:48

out how much the

48:50

euro dollar is

48:52

compared to to like

48:55

USD. Oh, see like

48:57

we did, but I

48:59

don't remember. I guess

49:02

for a comparison

49:05

to like modern, a

49:07

modern day thing or

49:10

whatever, I don't want

49:12

to fucking talk about

49:15

this fucking company, but

49:17

it is kind of

49:20

the example

49:22

to use at the

49:25

moment. So, pretty, I mean,

49:27

it's pretty big, which

49:29

Tesla, I think, what is

49:31

the most, the highest

49:34

dollar company in the

49:36

world right now? I think

49:38

so. So, that gives you,

49:40

like, an example

49:42

of where they're at.

49:44

So I think euro

49:46

business machines is number,

49:48

so this is number

49:50

one. and they're worth

49:52

four hundred eighty two

49:54

billion so not not quite in

49:57

those numbers but i think the the

49:59

euro buck is worth

50:01

less probably? Yeah I

50:03

don't remember I think

50:05

so I think that

50:07

makes sense. Okay but

50:09

anyways continuing Militech is

50:11

a public corporation with

50:13

four hundred and thirty

50:15

million shares of common

50:17

stock on the world

50:19

market. Donald Lundy had

50:21

claimed ownership of 8%.

50:23

Roland E. and the

50:25

board of directors lay

50:27

claim to another 22%.

50:30

Considering these numbers, it

50:32

seems that there is

50:34

a controlling amount of

50:36

Militech stock that could

50:38

become the target of

50:40

a lever-aged group acquisition.

50:42

Several large corporations would

50:44

form a temporary alliance

50:46

to perpetrate a leveraged

50:48

buyout and hostile takeover

50:50

of a mutual enemy.

50:53

The unlucky target corporation will

50:56

then see its assets broken

50:58

up and divided among the

51:01

raiders. Frequently fighting breaks out

51:03

among the allied corporations over

51:06

who gets to absorb certain

51:08

desirable parts of the target

51:10

corporation, but it usually happens

51:13

too late for the breakdown

51:15

to be of any use

51:18

to the victim. Man, you

51:20

know, at the beginning, I

51:23

was like, okay, I kind

51:25

of like Militech. They are

51:28

not just people, they are

51:30

not the corporation who is

51:33

out here. you know, like

51:35

our soccer specializes in people,

51:37

in manpower, in banking, in,

51:40

you know, diversifying all this

51:42

stuff. And I'm like, eh,

51:45

okay, I don't like the

51:47

fact that your biggest asset

51:50

that you put out there

51:52

is people. And so I

51:55

was like, okay, at least

51:57

Militech, it like manufactures its

51:59

own weapons, it's selling its

52:02

own weapons, it's doing things.

52:04

But then the more and

52:07

more that you get into

52:09

it, I'm like, my God,

52:12

I'm almost... at this point

52:14

more pro-Arasaka. Hey, look, I'm,

52:17

I'm, hey, I was off

52:19

board the moment that we

52:21

read that special projects division

52:24

section with the stuff that

52:26

they were up to. Also,

52:29

the term specifically used here

52:31

for something that they partake

52:34

in is being ethnic cleansing.

52:36

Hey, Militech. You suck. Yeah,

52:39

Milotex sucks. But I don't

52:41

know who sucks more. Yeah.

52:43

I think I'm, I think

52:46

I must say, Militex sucks

52:48

more. I don't remember reading

52:51

Arisaka participating in ethnic cleansings.

52:53

That's fair. But yeah. All

52:56

right, Militex sucks more. Okay.

52:58

Maybe now I'm gonna make

53:01

sure that I'm not carrying

53:03

any Militek weaponry on my

53:06

v. Yeah, and look, let's

53:08

just stay for the record.

53:10

All mega corporations suck. Corporations

53:13

suck. There's no, none of

53:15

them are good guys. There

53:18

might just be worse guys.

53:20

All right. I think that's

53:23

a stance we can definitely

53:25

stand on. All right. There

53:28

material resources. This is Milotec's

53:30

big advantage over many of

53:32

its competitors. As it's an

53:35

arms manufacturer, its corporate army

53:37

is better equipped than most

53:40

others, with a high volume

53:42

of state-of-the-art weaponry, vehicles, and

53:45

accessories. This has helped Milotec

53:47

to hold its own militarily

53:50

against its well-armed nemesis, Arasaka.

53:52

I'll just call out Arasaka

53:54

specifically. It's just to help

53:57

them hold their own against

53:59

everyone. No, no. To hold

54:02

their own against Arasaka specifically,

54:04

of course. Now. Militech and

54:07

its subsidiaries employ about 680,000

54:09

people worldwide. That's a smaller

54:12

number than I was expecting.

54:14

I'm gonna be so honest.

54:16

Of these 300,000 work directly

54:19

under the Militech name and

54:21

100,000 of those are corporate

54:24

troops of Militech. So if

54:26

like if they just got,

54:29

they could fill 10 of

54:31

their maximum number contracts and

54:34

that's it. Which I mean,

54:36

granted, when are they ever

54:39

going to get a maximum

54:41

number contract? I think that

54:43

I think the 10,000 is

54:46

just overdoing it. But anyways,

54:48

of Militex 100,000 troops, a

54:51

maximum of 80% may be

54:53

used for contract work at

54:56

any given time, and 20%

54:58

are retained full time for

55:01

corporate defense. Okay, so correction.

55:03

They can fulfill up to

55:05

eight of their maximum size

55:08

contracts. Which also explains why

55:10

they put that cap on

55:13

there because we're like we've

55:15

only got a hundred thousand

55:18

We can't put out a

55:20

bigger army than ten like

55:23

we wouldn't want to lend

55:25

out more than that Typically

55:27

only 50% are hired out

55:30

at any one time 90%

55:32

of the troops are standard

55:35

guards line soldiers and specialists

55:37

Some pilots, artillery gunners, etc.

55:40

10% are special ops troops,

55:42

solos, and agents who are

55:45

never subcontracted out, but retain

55:47

for Militech's personal use. All

55:49

right. The Militech International Armaments

55:52

Corporation core companies are Militech

55:54

Technologies, the main weapons arm.

55:57

Militech Military Contracting, which is

55:59

their mercenaries, and Militech Internationals,

56:02

the holding company. These represent

56:04

the greatest share of Militech

56:07

sales and business, and are

56:09

the branches that that own

56:12

and manage the network of

56:14

this much smaller subsidiary companies.

56:16

Just a few Militech subsidiaries

56:19

include Militech Technologies, Militech Military

56:21

Contracting, Militech International, Militech America.

56:24

Militech EEC, Militech Asia, Militech

56:26

Personnel Services, Militech Police Services,

56:29

Militech Heavy Industries, Militech Computers

56:31

Incorporated, Militech Avionics Incorporated, Combat

56:34

Fashion Incorporated, Militech Showrooms Incorporated,

56:36

Militech Showrooms Incorporated, Militech International

56:38

Shipping, Militech Maritime Construction. which

56:41

is their shipyards, Militech Cybernetics

56:43

International, Militech Aerospace Incorporated, Allison

56:46

Field Artillery Systems, Kunoshita Chipware,

56:48

Quickie Stop, which is their

56:51

convenience stores subsidiaries, Schuenard Electro-9

56:53

International. Climper photo optical systems

56:56

and Speedy Eddie's Pizza Restaurants.

56:58

I wonder if the Quickie

57:00

Stop is the vending machine

57:03

that you can buy a

57:05

gun out of? Maybe we'll

57:08

have to go through and

57:10

see which one, which of

57:13

the convenience stores are Quickie

57:15

stops. I'm sure there's some

57:18

around there. I also need

57:20

to go to a Speedy

57:22

Eddie's Pizza. They have their

57:25

own pizza chain. That's. How,

57:27

it's so dumb. That's so

57:30

fucking dumb. So American? Yeah,

57:32

it is true. Now I

57:35

kind of want pizza. I

57:37

also want pizza. God damn

57:40

it. This might be a

57:42

good spot for us to

57:45

wrap up the show then

57:47

and go get some pizza

57:49

from not a speedy Eddie's

57:52

because, fuck, Milatek. We do

57:54

not support. them. Yeah, is

57:57

there a speedy Eddie's Pizza

57:59

that exists in real life?

58:02

There's a fast Eddie's Pizza

58:04

in Belleville, Ohio. All right,

58:07

so I really don't want

58:09

to talk about Militek anymore.

58:11

Do you think that we

58:14

will be continuing the conversation

58:16

next week or are we

58:19

jumping to a different corporation?

58:21

Maybe with less ethnic cleansing.

58:24

Uh, I will, I think

58:26

we've covered just about everything,

58:29

Militech, so we can move

58:31

on. I'll see if I

58:33

can find a really cool,

58:36

I don't know, like humanitarian

58:38

corporation in cyberpunk. It's not

58:41

gonna happen. I'm so worried.

58:43

We can find something. Let's

58:46

try, let's, uh, yeah, let's

58:48

try and find something nice.

58:51

I need. I was gonna

58:53

say I need a palate

58:55

cleanser. But then that's just,

58:58

I don't want to use

59:00

that word right now. Biotechnica.

59:03

Biotechnica. Oh man, okay. All

59:05

right, so I think we

59:08

will wrap it up here

59:10

for tonight. Thanks y'all for
