Chapter 257: A Turning Point of Events

The residents of Cailin City were overwhelmed with fear when they heard the shouts on the loudspeaker, and no one came out of their houses for a long time.

Mei Yuqi's subordinates were even more at a loss than the residents, and they didn't know what to do.

"Sister Mei, they won't come out, what should we do?"

Mei Yuqi thought for a while and said, "Don't walk around, leave a place for them to escape, otherwise they won't dare to come out." ”

"These people are really stupid, if they really come to gang up with robbers, they won't all be destroyed!"

"Wouldn't the robbers come to attack here, will they come to rob the potatoes and turnips?"

The crowd chatted as they moved the mech to one side of the city, leaving the other side for the residents to escape. The trick worked, and the residents, seeing that there was an opportunity to escape, came out of their homes and fled into the wilderness from the other side of the city in their vehicles.

Mei Yuqi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the residents had finally begun to flee, and now they didn't have to worry about hurting the innocent.

Soon Cailin City became an empty city, and Mei Yuqi ordered his men to spill all kinds of garbage on the road, and then set some haystacks on fire, making the city look as if it had just been attacked.

The person in charge of the camera filmed it all, and then filmed some mechs moving through the city, making it look like a war documentary.

"Is it all ready?" Mei Yuqi asked.

"It's all right, Sister Mei! Let's go back and edit it again, it will definitely look exciting! ”

"Very good, close the team!" Mei Yuqi ordered: "Let's go to the next city and make the noise bigger." ”

After some tossing by Mei Yuqi and others, the entire Cailin Star fell into a panic, and several cities, including the capital, claimed to have been attacked by bandits from abroad.

The news quickly spread on the Internet, and the Cailin Star government also reported to Nie Yan, the chief of the Mammoth Galaxy.

At first, Nie Yan was very skeptical of the truth of the news, after all, no one had ever attacked such a purely agricultural colony as Cailin Xing, because the benefits of doing so were very low.

But what Cailinxing's government said was conclusive, and it didn't look like a lie, which made Nie Yan feel very puzzled.

However, soon after, a video of Cailinxing's attack began to circulate on the Internet, and it can be clearly seen through the video that Cailinxing was indeed attacked, and the attackers were indeed from abroad, judging from the styles of those mechas, as well as the accents of those people.

For these galaxyes on the border of the empire, it is not uncommon for them to be attacked from abroad, and many colonies have encountered them, so Nie Yan and the others did not pay too much attention to it.

However, some necessary procedures still have to be followed, such as sending people to conduct on-site investigations, assessing damage reports, etc., and in short, no one will pay special attention to this incident.

But the development of things is often unexpected, and somehow, this video quickly fermented on the Internet, and was rendered as a large-scale invasion of foreign enemies.

As a result, the Ministry of Defense also took the matter seriously and ordered the Border Defense Department below to investigate the matter. The Department of Defense searched and found the head of Nie Yan, the chief of the Mammoth Galaxy, and soon an order signed by the Ministry of Defense was conveyed to Nie Yan, asking him to explain the incident.

Nie Yan looked at this order and felt very strange in his heart, it was obviously an inconspicuous trivial matter, why did it alarm the Ministry of Defense?

However, the attitude of the Ministry of Defense seems to be very tough, and the official document is full of reprimands, which makes it impossible for Nie Yan not to pay attention to this matter.

Nie Yan summoned his subordinates and held a meeting to discuss such a solution to this matter, and everyone did not understand what was worth explaining about such a trivial matter, and there were tens of thousands of various frictions on the border every year, so why did the Ministry of Defense bother to hold on to this matter.

"Everybody talk about it, what should we do about this?" Nie Yan said with a dark face.

"I don't think there's any need to pay attention to it, the Ministry of Defense issues so many orders every year, how many of them are seriously implemented? Just give me a reply. One of Nie Yan's staff said.

"Fart! You don't take a good look at this official document, it is clear that you are dissatisfied with me, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that the above will find an excuse to cut my power! Nie Yan has a ghost in his heart, so he feels that he is targeting himself when he sees everything.

Zhu Wei on the side said: "Actually, there is nothing difficult to solve in this matter, everyone knows the above style, isn't it just for us to find a few scapegoats?" ”

Others also nodded in agreement when they heard this, no one paid attention to this kind of thing, and the above questions could not be just to find someone to take the blame, Zhu Wei's opinion basically represents the majority of people.

Zhu Wei saw that Nie Yan didn't speak, and continued to persuade: "As long as we find a scapegoat, no matter how much we ask, we can't do anything, and the chief don't have to worry too much." ”

"Okay...... Let's talk about who will carry this pot. Nie Yan finally nodded.

"According to the investigation, this group of bandits from outside the country should have come from the White Rock Fortress, and if you want to be responsible, it is naturally the problem of the White Stone Fortress." A staff member said.

Zhu Wei smiled: "Isn't this just right? Since it's the problem of the White Rock Fortress, just put the blame on that Liu Yi, isn't he the person in charge of the White Stone Fortress? Now we also have a reason to arrest him, no matter how the above investigates these two things in the future, we also have plenty of inside, and no one can find fault with it! ”

"Takami! The deputy chief is really amazing! ”

"That's a great idea! If you really want to sleep, someone handed you a pillow, and we can justifiably arrest Liu Yi! ”

Everyone gave a thumbs up, praised Zhu Wei Gaojian, and solved both things at once.

Nie Yan listened to Zhu Wei's words, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he said with satisfaction: "Recently, your knowledge has really become good, this method is really good, just reply to the above." ”

Seeing that Nie Yan nodded in agreement, everyone seized the opportunity to slap a sycophant, and the meeting ended.

Soon, the reply was submitted, and Nie Yan and others attributed all the blame to Liu Yi's dereliction of duty, which led to the attack of foreign armed forces, for which they had arrested Liu Yi and waited for the Ministry of Defense to deal with it.

Nie Yan was very satisfied with this reply, thinking that the matter was probably over, and what he wanted was nothing more than a scapegoat.

A few days later, the approval of the Ministry of Defense reached the Mammoth Galaxy's Governor's Mansion, and Nie Yan was dumbfounded when he saw this reply. It turned out that the reply not only did not give an understanding of the matter, but reprimanded Nie Yan for his hasty handling and failure to investigate the matter clearly, and now the Ministry of National Defense has decided to investigate the matter in person, and at the same time requested that the responsible person Liu Yi be transferred to the military court of the imperial capital to prepare for trial.

"This ...... What's going on? Nie Yan looked at this official document and was speechless for a long time.

Nie Yan, who finally came back to his senses, slammed the table and roared, "Damn! It's all Zhu Wei's idiot's idea! Come on, bring Zhu Wei to see me immediately! ”

Zhu Wei heard that Nie Yan wanted to see him, and he was furious, and he didn't know what was going on, so he could only hurry over.

As soon as he walked into Nie Yan's office, Nie Yan scolded him: "Look at the good things you have done!" ”

Zhu Wei was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked worriedly, "Chief Chief, what happened?" ”

Nie Yan sent the official document to Zhu Wei's portable computer, and said angrily: "See for yourself!" That's your trick! Now things are getting bigger! ”

"Huh?" Zhu Wei hurriedly opened the official document and read it.

After reading it, Zhu Wei was also at a loss, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations, and the Ministry of Defense actually made a big fuss about this matter, which no one expected.

"Chief, how can this be? What is the Ministry of Defense trying to do? Zhu Wei asked puzzled.

"Are you too embarrassed to ask me? Isn't it all your idea? Nie Yan said angrily.

"I ...... I didn't expect that...... How so? ”

"Now what do you say? The Ministry of Defense wants to personally hear this matter, and also wants me to hand people over to the imperial capital military court, the matter has already made a big fuss! ”

"This ......" Zhu Wei has no idea now, for fear that he will say the wrong thing again, and he can't spit out a word after opening his mouth for a long time.

Seeing that Zhu Wei looked like a six gods and no owner, Nie Yan's anger became even more difficult to suppress, and he grabbed a teacup and threw it at Zhu Wei, roaring angrily: "Get out of here!" Useless stuff! ”

Zhu Wei didn't dare to linger, and said as he ran out of the door quickly: "Don't be angry, chief...... I'll get my staff first......"

Escaping from Nie Yan's office, Zhu Wei gasped for breath and scolded in his heart: "Crazy, you have the ability to rush to the Ministry of Defense, what kind of ability is it to bully me......"

The two guards at the door couldn't help but snicker when they saw Zhu Wei so embarrassed, and Zhu Wei immediately scolded when he saw this: "Laugh at a fart!" ”

In the face of the accusations of the Ministry of Defense, Nie Yan was very uneasy, he always felt that the Ministry of Defense was holding on to this matter, and he must have some opinion on him, otherwise he would not have caused the matter to go to the military tribunal of the imperial capital.

To this end, Nie Yan summoned his staff and asked them to discuss a countermeasure. These aides did not expect that the matter would get bigger and bigger, and looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it without following the orders of the Ministry of National Defense.

However, Nie Yan didn't want to hand over Liu Yi, once he handed over Liu Yi, his plan to forcibly occupy the Ice Peak Base would be frustrated.

Everyone discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a solution, and the last staff member persuaded: "Chief Chief, in my opinion, it is better to hand over the people first, the situation in the imperial capital is not clear now, if we openly tear our faces with the above at this time, I am afraid it will not be good for our future plans." ”

"But in this case, it will be difficult to get hold of that base again." The other person spoke his heart for Nie Yan.

"But if you don't carry out the order from above now, it will be tantamount to disobeying the order, and if the boss is removed from above, won't the previous achievements be wasted, and we don't have enough strength to confront the above now."

"This ...... But ......" Nie Yan was also very hesitant, whether to fall out with the above now, once he turned his face, he was afraid that the next would immediately lead to a war.
