It was a bloody night, a long night.
Speaking of these major forces, because of their strong strength, although they were attacked, they were able to deal with them calmly, and the losses they suffered were not huge.
But some survivor bases were not so lucky. Evil monsters and tree demons attacked at all costs, causing huge damage and casualties.
The large survivors suffered heavy losses, with countless casualties. Some smaller survivor bases were even wiped out directly, leaving no survivors.
As for the evil monsters and tree charms, although they also paid a huge price, these costs are obviously something that the weird tree can mature.
Especially in the Western Region, weird trees have become the climate, which can transform tree charms in large numbers, and evil monsters are endless. It can be said that the weird trees can fully afford these costs, and even more costs.
Totally acceptable.
The real blow to the Weird Tree is the casualties of some agents. The tree charms are just relatively low-level combatants, while the evil monsters are simply cannon fodder. They will not feel bad if they destroy no matter how many Weird Trees they have.
But for the human camp, those who die are dead forever, which means that the already weak humans of Cloud City have lost a lot of money.
Population is definitely a precious resource in the strange era. Every death is an immeasurable loss, let alone such a large-scale death.
Of course, the biggest blow from last night's battle was not only the decrease in population, but more importantly, the blow to Yuncheng's morale and the impact on Yuncheng's entire defense system.
After this battle, people realized that the strange tree had penetrated to this extent in Yuncheng.
Human beings' defenses, which appear to be very solid, are actually fragile at all. They are just like shoddy construction projects that can become precarious and suffer heavy losses if they are hit at random.
This made the already panic-stricken human camp even more pessimistic about the future of Cloud City, and even more demoralized, feeling that the future was bleak.
At Jiang Yue's station, reports from all parties continued to come.
Casualties are constantly being counted.
Currently, the five strongest forces in Cloud City are the team led by the leader of Cloud City, which suffered relatively large losses, followed by the Star City Action Bureau.
Of the remaining three parties, the military and the directly affiliated brigades 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 most fully, and the losses were almost negligible. Except for a few people who were slightly injured during the battle, there were almost no mistakes.
This comparison can reveal the quality of each team.
What pleased Jiang Yue was that he was directly affiliated with the brigade. After all, this was a newly established team, and the main force of the team members were almost civilian awakened people selected from around Yuncheng. They themselves did not have strong discipline. They could form a team in just a few days.
Even Jiang Yue was a little surprised by such strong organization and discipline.
It can be seen that the leadership of a person like Yu Yan does have some flaws.
The team in charge of Olin was undoubtedly the most stretched. This was not beyond Jiang Yue's expectations.
Of course, it was not easy for Jiang Yue, an outsider, to openly accuse Ou Lin.
Now that the matter has come to this, Ou Lin himself knows best how painful it is to be beaten. Why does Jiang Yue need to remind him?
All parties sat together for a meeting again, and the director, Jiang Yue, naturally presided over the meeting.
After suffering such a heavy blow, Yuncheng naturally couldn't just swallow this sigh of relief.
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 got angry and lost his temper at the beginning of the meeting.
"I can't imagine that there were more than 20,000 casualties in one night. Everyone, the current total population of Cloud City is not more than one million, right? According to this situation, the Weird Tree only needs to launch a few such attacks.
Destroy Yuncheng. Even if everyone is not dead, they will have fled long ago. I just want to ask, where is Yuncheng's defense?"
When Mr. Song mentioned his heartache, he slammed the statistical materials on the table and slapped the table.
What I was taking pictures of was the table, but it was actually nothing more than taking a picture of the faces of the people in charge of Yuncheng City.
Is Yuncheng's defense just such a showy thing?
Who is to blame?
"Tell me, tell me, what is the reason?" Song Lao said angrily.
This time, he showed no mercy and directly named Ou Lin, the leader of Yuncheng: "Olin, you, the leader of Yuncheng, are the parents of Yuncheng. You speak first."
Ou Lin knew that he would be the first to be criticized.
However, he had already thought of his words: "Mr. Song, according to the spirit of the instructions of the joint command group and the region, the security and defense work in Yuncheng is now under the full supervision of Director Jiang. I, as the leader, and other people are all assistants.
.Cooperate fully with Director Jiang’s work. As for the specific reasons, it really cannot be explained in a few words. According to me, it is nothing more than poor coordination, carelessness and other factors.”
Good guy, this opening was a swipe of blame. And the blame was thrown directly at Jiang Yue.
Song Laotie's face was livid: "According to you, Jiang Yue, a director who has only been here two or three days, is mainly responsible for the attack last night?"
Ou Lin actually did not deny it: "Mr. Song, you are a senior. You should know that our Dazhang country has always paid attention to the leadership and responsibility system."
It's not that Ou Lin wants to go head-to-head with Jiang Yue, but that he really can't handle such a big pot. If this pot is really put on his head, his position as the leader will come to an end.
No matter what, he had to struggle. Even if it was a strong argument, he had to fight for something.
Commander Hao said, "Ou is in charge, we can't be so shameless. Director Jiang comes to Yuncheng, and it only lasts two or three days. Director Jiang is not responsible for the basic defense of Yuncheng at all. We can't pass the blame like this."
When it comes to the joint command team and the center, your reasoning doesn't make sense."
Ou Lin said bluntly: "Commander Hao, you have guns and cannons, soldiers and generals at hand. When it comes to the defense of Yuncheng, your military has a greater responsibility than me as the leader, right?"
Commander Hao said flatly: "I reflect on myself and I am willing to bear the responsibilities that I should bear. 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 protected them with their lives."
The safety of the people behind you. The casualty statistics this time are also very detailed. The several survivor bases that really suffered heavy losses originally belonged to the main city area and belonged to the defense areas of several of your departments. The data is here for everyone to understand.
."
Data doesn't lie, and the facts are exactly what Commander Hao said.
This time, several large survivor bases suffered the heaviest losses, with the largest number of casualties. These areas were originally the responsibility of the departments led by Olin, and of course some of them were also under the responsibility of the Yuncheng Operations Bureau.
In other words, it was the departments led by Ou Lin and Director Wu Yongda who really failed to perform their duties when the commotion was so tragic this time.
Although the military defense area was also attacked, it was at least defended without huge casualties.
This difference is still very obvious.
Ou Lin and Wu Yongda looked at each other, displeasure flashing through their hearts. At the same time, a sense of crisis also surged into their hearts.
The data is indeed not good for them. This is why Ou Lin wanted to shift the responsibility to Jiang Yue, the director, as soon as he opened his mouth.
Aren't you in charge of the defense of Yuncheng? Now that you are the number one speaker, shouldn't you take on this responsibility?
Wu Yongda said calmly: "Commander Hao, no matter how you say it, our Dazhang country has the rules of Dazhang country. Don't say whether you are three years or two years or three days and two days, whoever takes the lead will bear the main responsibility. We are just following orders now.
.The task we assigned is to deal with the strongholds within our assigned area."
Ou Lin quickly agreed: "Yes, this was a clear division of labor at the meeting. Our main task now is to eliminate the corresponding stronghold."
Commander Hao was really shocked.
Are there such shameless people?
"According to the two of you, since you have assigned strongholds, basic defense has nothing to do with you?" Commander Hao asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Others, we have to obey orders." Wu Yongda said shamelessly.
Although his words are strong and reasonable, he also has some truth.
Yu Yanru, the captain of the direct brigade who had been silent all the time, couldn't help it anymore: "Bureau Wu, I came from the Operations Bureau, and I shouldn't have gone against you. But what you said is really evading responsibility. In that meeting, only
The allocation of five strongholds does not involve other issues. Now that you put those few strongholds together for basic defense, is it a bit confusing?"
Wu Yongda glanced at Yu Yanru lukewarmly, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
"Captain Yu, now that you are flying to high branches, you have forgotten your mother's family in the Action Bureau. You don't see me as an old leader in your eyes. I don't blame you. You said that I confused right and wrong. Tell me, what I said was confusing right and wrong? Since
Director Lai Jiang was sent by superiors to give an overview of the overall situation of the Yuncheng defense war, so should he be responsible for coordinating and arranging all the work? Should he be responsible for the unified deployment of basic defense?"
"Even if our defense is unfavorable and there must be punishment, we all agree. But if there is no unified deployment of this leadership responsibility, who will be responsible?"
Wu Yongda had the same idea as Ou Lin. He had to drag Jiang Yue into the water and make the water muddy.
As long as Jiang Yue is dragged into the water, it will be impossible to hold him and Ou Lin accountable.
Either we don’t hold him accountable at all. If we want to hold him accountable, we must first hold him accountable as a leader. Otherwise, how can we convince the public?
Hearing this, Mr. Song secretly shook his head and felt even more deeply disappointed with the performance of Wu Yongda and Ou Lin.
At the same time, I also blamed myself for being too old and confused. Jiang Yue should have been reminded of this first.
As a young man under the age of 20, Jiang Yue could not have expected to be so thoughtful, but 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 to ask Jiang Yue to take responsibility for basic defense.
But according to the responsibility system, what Ou Lin and Wu Yongda said is barely tenable in theory.
This is absurd, but it is reality.
Mr. Song was not the only one who was disappointed. Jiang Yue was also disappointed. He finally understood why Yuncheng had been so passive and retreating steadily.
With Ou Lin and Wu Yongda, two masters who occupy the toilet and do nothing, it is no wonder that things in Yuncheng can be managed well.
Hold them accountable?
A complaint against them?
It's not that Jiang Yue can't do this, but he doesn't know how useful it will be at this moment.
After all, these two people have too deep roots in Yuncheng. They have a group of arrogant and powerful generals. If they really want to beat these two people to the end, God knows what those people will do.
Even if those arrogant and powerful generals don't react excessively, if the people are replaced, who can control them?
If I can no longer bear it, I have no choice but to hold my nose and endure it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue spoke.
"Zhengzheng Ou and Director Wu said that I have a responsibility, and I will not shirk it. In the battle last night, no one in our place is innocent, and everyone is responsible."
“Is now the time for accountability?”
"Everyone, there are problems that are ten times more serious than holding people accountable."
"Yuncheng is like a tattered cotton-padded jacket, with air leaking everywhere. In the battle last night, the enemy basically told us that they have penetrated into every corner of Yuncheng, and they can launch attacks one after another at any time. Inside Yuncheng
, there is no absolutely safe area. Maybe there are undercover agents of the Weird 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 Yun City. Thinking of this, don’t you think that our current
Is the situation simply unbearable?"
In fact, the situation in Yuncheng is completely like lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious.
It's just that everyone knew it in their hearts before, but no one explained it.
Moreover, no one expected that things would suddenly deteriorate to this point, much worse than imagined.
"What we want is countermeasures!"
Commander Hao echoed: "What Director Jiang said makes sense. We should indeed have countermeasures now. Investigating responsibility is the next best thing."
"Director Jiang, as I said before, you are the person in charge of the defense of Yuncheng. You give orders and all our departments cooperate fully." Ou Lin took charge of the fight and followed the stick.
He knew that with this tone, the issue of holding people accountable was a turning point.
"I have only been in Yuncheng for a short time. Everyone here is familiar with the specific situation of Yuncheng than I am. I want to hear your opinions first."
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position. With so many things happening, Jiang Yue had already figured it out. He must not express his attitude first, he had to explore the tone of these guys first.
Especially Ou Lin and Wu Yongda, these are old foxes who have been practicing for thousands of years. If they don't put any pressure on them, they will definitely give in.
"Let me say a few words first." Yu Yanru suddenly raised her hand and said.
Ou Lin and Wu Yongda breathed a sigh of relief. A reckless person like Yu Yanru spoke first. They were just happy to hide and let Yu Yanru take the limelight first.
"Last night's situation shows that the Weird Tree has penetrated very deeply into Cloud City. We must carry out a cleanup. Otherwise, if we continue at this pace, the contents of our high-level meeting may be known to others later.
