spooky invasion

Chapter 1008
It was a bloody night, a long night.

Speaking of these major forces, because of their own strength, although they were attacked, they were finally able to deal with it calmly, and the losses they suffered were not too large.

But some survivor bases were not so lucky.Evil monsters and tree spirits attacked at all costs, causing massive damage and casualties.

Large survivors suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties.Some smaller survivor bases were even wiped out without a single survivor.

As for the evil monsters and tree ghosts, although they also paid a huge price, these costs can obviously be matured by the strange tree.

Especially in the western frontier region, the strange tree has become a climate, which can transform a large number of tree charms, and there is an endless stream of evil monsters.It can be said that the Uncanny Tree can fully afford these costs, and even more costs are completely acceptable.

What really hit the strange tree was actually the casualties of some agents.Like the tree charm, it is only a relatively low-level combat power, and the evil monster is simply cannon fodder, and it will not hurt how many strange trees are destroyed.

But for the human camp, those who died were dead forever, which meant that a large number of Yuncheng humans, who were already out of ten, had been crossed out.

Population is definitely a precious resource for the strange era.Every death is an incalculable loss, let alone such a large-scale death.

Of course, the biggest blow in last night's battle was not only the decrease in population, but more importantly, the blow to Yuncheng's morale and the entire defense system of Yuncheng.

After this battle, people realized that the strange tree had penetrated to this extent in Yuncheng.

Human beings' seemingly solid defense is actually fragile at all, just like a tofu project, if it is hit at random, it will become precarious and suffer heavy losses.

This made the already terrified human camp even more pessimistic about the future of Yuncheng, demoralized even more, and felt that the future was bleak.

And in Jiang Yue's residence, reports from all sides continued to come in.

Casualties are constantly being counted.

At present, the five strongest forces in Yuncheng are the team led by the ruler of Yuncheng, which has suffered relatively large losses, followed by the Star City Operation Bureau.

For the remaining three parties, the military and the directly-affiliated brigade were more disciplined and relatively well-prepared. Although they suffered some losses, they were not injured, and the number of casualties was not exaggerated.

Jiang Yue's support team responded the most adequately, and the losses were almost negligible.Except for a few people who suffered minor injuries during the confrontation, there were almost no mistakes.

From this comparison, we can see the quality of each team.

What makes Jiang Yue feel relieved is that he is directly under the brigade.After all, this is a newly established team, and the main force of the team is almost the civilian awakeners selected from the surrounding areas of Yuncheng.It is not very disciplined in itself.Even Jiang Yue was a little surprised that such a strong organization and discipline could be formed in just a few days.

It can be seen that Yu Yan's leadership ability does have a few brushes.

And the team in charge of Olin is undoubtedly the most stretched.This point was not too beyond Jiang Yue's expectations.

Of course, it's not easy for Jiang Yue, an outsider, to publicly accuse Ou Lin.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Olin himself knows how painful it is to be beaten.Why did Jiang Yue come to remind him?
All parties sat together for a meeting again, and Jiang Yue, the director, naturally presided over the meeting.

Having suffered such a severe blow, Yuncheng naturally couldn't just swallow this breath.

When everyone sits together, it is natural to discuss countermeasures.

What everyone didn't expect was that Mr. Song, who had always talked less and listened more, unexpectedly lost his temper at the very beginning of the meeting this time.

"I can't imagine it. In one night, more than 100 people were killed or injured. Everyone, the current total population of Yuncheng is not more than [-] million, right? According to this posture, as long as the Weird Tree launches a few such attacks, it will be able to wipe out the entire population." Cloud City is destroyed. Even if the people are not dead, they have already fled. I just want to ask, where is the defense of Cloud City?"

When Song Lao talked about his heartache, he slammed the statistical materials on the table and patted the table.

The photo was taken of the table, which is actually no different from taking photos of the faces of those who are in charge of Yuncheng.

Is Yuncheng's defense just such a show?

Who is to blame?
"Tell me, tell me everything, what is the reason?" Song Lao said angrily.

This time, he didn't show any sympathy, and directly named Ou Lin, the ruler of Yuncheng: "Olin, you, the ruler of Yuncheng, is the parent official of Yuncheng, you should speak first."

Ou Lin knew that he must be the first to be criticized.

However, he had already thought up his rhetoric: "Mr. Song, according to the instructions of the joint command group and the region, the security and defense work of Yuncheng is now under the full authority of Director Jiang. I am in charge, including other people, are assistants. Cooperate fully with Director Jiang’s work. If you want to say the specific reason, it’s really not easy to explain it in a few words. According to me, it’s nothing more than unfavorable overall planning, carelessness and other factors.”

Good guy, this opening is throwing the pot away.And the pot was thrown directly at Jiang Yue.

Song Lao's face was green: "According to your statement, the main responsibility for the attack last night was Jiang Yue, the director who has just been here for two or three days?"

Ou Lin didn't deny it: "Old Song, you are a senior, you should know that our Dazhang Kingdom has always paid attention to the leadership responsibility system."

It's not that Ou Lin wants to be tough with Jiang Yue, but that he really can't handle such a big pot.If this pot is really put on his head, his ruling will be over.

In any case, he must struggle.Even if it is a strong statement, he has to fight for some.

Commander Hao said, "Ou Zhuzheng, we can't be so shameless. Director Jiang came to Yuncheng, and it took only two or three days to fight and count. The basic defense of Yuncheng is not in charge of Director Jiang at all. We can't blame it like this. Said When it comes to the joint command group, when it comes to the center, your reasoning doesn't make sense."

Ou Lin said bluntly: "Commander Hao, you have guns, cannons, soldiers and generals. When it comes to the defense of Yuncheng, your military is more responsible than me, right?"

Commander Hao said decisively: "I reflect on myself, and I am willing to take the responsibility that should be borne by me. But every point where our military is stationed has at least ensured the safety of the vast majority of people. Even if our soldiers suffered heavy losses, they used their lives to protect The safety of the people behind you. The casualty statistics this time are also very detailed. The few survivor bases that suffered heavy losses originally belonged to the main city area and belonged to the defense areas of your departments. The data are here, everyone can understand .”

The data don't lie, the facts are just like what Commander Hao said.

This time, several large survivor bases suffered the most losses and suffered the most casualties.And these areas were originally under the responsibility of the departments led by Ou Lin, and of course some of them also belonged to the responsibility defense area of ​​the Yuncheng Operation Bureau.

In other words, it was the departments led by Ou Lin and Director Wu Yongda who really did not fulfill their duties this time.

Although the military's defense zone was also attacked, at least it was defended, and there were no huge casualties.

This difference is still very obvious.

Ou Lin and Wu Yongda looked at each other, feeling displeasure flashing through their hearts.At the same time, there is also a sense of crisis in my heart.

Data is really bad for them.That's why Ou Lin wanted to shift the responsibility to Jiang Yue, the director, as soon as Ou Lin opened his mouth.

Aren't you the commander in chief of the defense of Yuncheng?Now that you are the number one speaker, shouldn't you take this responsibility?
Wu Yongda said indifferently: "Commander Hao, no matter what you say, our Dazhang Kingdom has the rules of Dazhang Kingdom. Don't say whether you are three or two years or three or two days, whoever takes the lead will bear the main responsibility. We are just following orders now .The task we assign is to deal with the strongholds within the division."

Ou Lin quickly echoed: "Yes, this is a clear division of labor at the meeting. Our main task now is to be responsible for destroying the corresponding strongholds."

Commander Hao was really shocked.

There are such shameless people?
"According to the two of you, the basic defense has nothing to do with you after you have allocated a stronghold?" Commander Hao asked in disbelief.

"Others, we have to obey orders." Wu Yongda said brazenly.

It should be said that although his words are unreasonable, there is some truth in him.

Yu Yanru, the captain of the direct brigade who had been silent all this time, couldn't help it: "Director Wu, I'm from the Operations Bureau, so I shouldn't have contradicted you. But what you said is really a bit of evasion of responsibility. At that meeting, only Allocation for the five strongholds. It does not involve other issues. Now you are talking about the basic defense and those strongholds together, isn’t it confusing right and wrong?”

Wu Yongda glanced at Yu Yanru indifferently, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Captain Yu, you are flying to Gaozhi now, and you have forgotten your mother's family in the Operation Bureau. I don't blame you for not seeing me as an old leader. You say I confuse right and wrong, tell me, what I said is confusing right and wrong? Since The higher-ups sent Director Jiang to take an overview of the overall defense of Yuncheng, so should he be in charge of all the work? Should he be in charge of the overall deployment of basic defense?"

"Even if our defense is not good, we all agree that there will be punishment. But if there is no leadership responsibility for unified deployment, who will be responsible?"

Wu Yongda had the same idea as Ou Lin, he had to drag Jiang Yue into the water and muddy the water.

As long as Jiang Yue is dragged into the water, it is impossible to hold him and Ou Lin accountable.

Either they don't pursue it, and if they want to pursue it, Jiang Yue, the leader, should be held accountable first.Otherwise, why convince the public?
Hearing this, Elder Song shook his head secretly, feeling even more deeply disappointed with Wu Yongda and Ou Lin's performance.

At the same time, I also blame myself, and I am also old and confused.These should have reminded Jiang Yue first.

As a young man under the age of 20, Jiang Yue didn't expect to be so thoughtful, and was caught by these old fritters.

To be honest, Jiang Yue has only been here for two or three days, and it is obviously nonsense for Jiang Yue to be responsible for the basic defense.

However, according to the responsibility system, the words of Ou Lin and Wu Yongda can barely be established in theory.

This is absurd, but it happens to be reality.

It wasn't just Elder Song who was disappointed, Jiang Yue was also full of disappointment.He finally understood why Yuncheng was so passive and retreated steadily before.

With Ou Lin and Wu Yongda, the two masters who occupy the latrine and don't shit, it's no wonder that Yuncheng's affairs can be done well.

Hold them accountable?

Sue them?
It's not that Jiang Yue can't do this, but he doesn't know how useful it is to do it now.

After all, the foundation of these two people in Yuncheng is too deep, and the arrogant soldiers under their hands, if they really want to fight these two people to the end, God knows what those people will do.

Even if those arrogant soldiers don't overreact, if they are replaced, who can order them?
I can't bear it anymore, I have to hold my nose and bear it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue spoke.

"Ou Zhuzheng and Director Wu said that I am responsible, and I will not shirk it. In the battle last night, we went up and down here. No one is innocent, and everyone has responsibility."

"Is this the time for accountability?"

"Everyone, there are still problems ten times and a hundred times more serious than accountability."

"Yuncheng is like a tattered cotton jacket, and the wind is leaking everywhere. In the battle last night, the enemy told us that they have penetrated into every corner of Yuncheng, and they can launch attacks one after another at any time. , There is no absolutely safe area anymore. Maybe there are undercover agents of the strange tree lurking around us. As long as the time is right, they can show their fangs at any time and launch a fatal blow to Yuncheng. Thinking of this, you don’t think that our current Is the situation simply unbearable?"

In fact, the situation in Yuncheng is completely like a lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious.

It's just that everyone knew it in their hearts before, but no one knew it.

Moreover, no one expected that things would suddenly deteriorate to such a point, much worse than imagined.

"What we want is a countermeasure!"

Commander Hao echoed, "Director Jiang is right. We should have countermeasures now. Pursuing responsibility is a secondary matter."

"Director Jiang, the same sentence, you are the person in charge of the defense of Yuncheng, you give orders, and all our departments cooperate fully."

He knew that, hearing this tone, the matter of pursuing responsibility was a turning point.

"I have only been in Yuncheng for a short time, and everyone here is more familiar with the specific situation of Yuncheng than I am. I want to hear everyone's opinions first."

Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Jiang Yue could see that so many things had happened. He must not express his attitude first. He had to find out what these guys said first.

Especially Ou Lin and Wu Yongda, these are old foxes with a thousand years of experience, if you don't give them a little pressure, they will definitely discount it.

"Let me say a few words first." Yu Yanru raised her hand suddenly.

Ou Lin and Wu Yongda breathed a sigh of relief, because a reckless person like Yu Yanru spoke first, they were happy to hide and let Yu Yanru show off first.

"Last night's situation shows that the strange tree has penetrated into Yuncheng very deeply. We must carry out a purge. Otherwise, if we continue at this pace, maybe the content of our high-level meeting may be known to others later. "
