Chapter 63 This is Magical Clash
"What's the meaning?"
"Use the resources at your disposal to investigate Wei Jie's private communication channel and you'll understand the whole story." As Mo Siming finished his words, a series of provocative reports targeting Wei Jie appeared on the Rongdong news outlet. These reports not only exposed information about Wei Jie's family members but also pointed out that Wei Jie's rapid rise to prominence was entirely due to Sheng Xia's personal appointment.
As Shengxia's subordinate, Wei Jie helped Shengxia carry out a series of fund embezzlement operations, and at the same time obtained the "green card" of Alka Planet, which has the best citizen treatment among the surrounding star fields. Not only himself, but all his family members also obtained the green card of Alka Planet.
What the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions and Agent Searles hadn't anticipated was that the people, who were initially furious at Wei Jie's actions, suddenly began to envy him after learning that he had obtained a green card from the planet Arka. Some even declared that if they had the opportunity to sell everything they had for a green card for their family, they would do the same as Wei Jie.
In random interviews with people in the Rongdong Food Zone, the public's opinion of Wei Jie changed unexpectedly:
"I think Weijie is a heroic father. Although his actions obviously hurt many of us, and even hurt the planetary commander who always trusted him, I can understand him making such a choice for his family."
"I want to say that not everyone can be so noble as to choose between being a family member and having a noble soul. I am glad that he made the right choice."
"Everyone is selfish. He did nothing wrong. I don't even think our planetary commander did anything wrong. This is the current situation. I'm already very happy to have such a warm winter."
"It's not their fault, it's the damn planet's fault."
…
The top leaders in the surrounding star fields: ...Have these people on Planet Volk been kneeling for so long that their brains have been damaged?
Agent Sellers obviously hadn't anticipated the rapid and unstoppable shift in public opinion. Even worse, as public opinion spread, some mid-level officials within the Federal Government Hall began to believe that Wei Jie was right, that they were simply unlucky not to have "this good thing," and that there was nothing to be jealous of Wei Jie.
With the middle-class public opinion turning against them, Agent Searles's original plan of a nationwide uprising on Planet Volker was inexplicably appeased by the people themselves.
Wei Jie, who was originally still worried about the safety of his family and was wavering between patrolling the rescue work and rushing back to the cave to reunite with his family, sneered after watching the interview with the passers-by and continued his work.
Someone around him couldn't stand it anymore and advised Wei Jie to go home and see if the planet commander really no longer trusted him.
"Everything I'm doing now is not for the planet commander, but for the people of Planet Volk. This is different. This also includes... my family."
Wei Jie didn't know if he was crazy, he could actually say such outrageous words. You know, every time a planetary commander came, the first thing he thought about was the interests of the planetary commander himself.
So when he finished saying this, even Wei Jie himself was shocked. He stood there in a daze for a long time, and then silently grabbed the record sheets of the people around him and went up to the most dangerous high ground in the hot spring area that had been bombed in their place.
At the same time, Shengxia also obtained irrefutable evidence from Xiaoai's search that "some key data of the mechanical dog" had indeed been leaked from Weijie's dedicated communication channel to outside the Volk planet. Mo Siming and the federal forces he supported seemed to be waiting for Shengxia's final decision.
"Although I've stopped the reports about Wei Jie, the federal government will eventually investigate, and you'll be implicated as well... And the green card issued to Wei Jie has actually been received by Wei Jie's daughter. I think... you should carefully consider Wei Jie's matter."
Shengxia took a deep breath. In Mo Siming's opinion, this was probably the most solemn expression he had ever seen on her face since he met her.
Indeed, as a cadre team that grew up with Shengxia, especially the top leader in government affairs, it is particularly difficult to be found out to be a spy, both emotionally and practically.
However, after a long silence, Shengxia asked Mo Siming if they could try to negotiate with the Federation again. After all, judging from the data of the mechanical dogs that had been leaked, it would be difficult to achieve the level of completeness they currently had.
"No, why...you..." Mo Siming was anxious. After taking several deep breaths like Sheng Xia, he asked Sheng Xia, "Are you not going to deal with Wei Jie at all? If you insist on being tied to Wei Jie, then even I may not be able to completely protect you."
"Have you read the public opinion on Planet Volker now?" Unexpectedly, Shengxia looked up and asked him a completely unrelated question.
"Based on this ridiculous public opinion, you think... No, putting aside the current situation on Planet Volker, if we want to survive next year, we will definitely need help from the Federation."
Mo Siming didn't want to play dumb with Sheng Xia anymore, but Sheng Xia changed the subject: "It's very strange, isn't it? I think the people who have infiltrated from the surrounding star fields will also be very surprised by the thoughts of the people of Planet Volk. I've even anticipated the final outcome of this public opinion crisis."
Shengxia turned away her gaze from Mo Siming and explained to him what Agent Searles had originally intended to do: to create mutual suspicion among those in the institutions that maintained the Volk planet's political power, and then to trigger a large-scale riot. This would inevitably put the pro-people army that had been so hard to establish in the interests of the people in opposition.
Once the riots begin, it no longer matters who is on the right side. The people will be caught up in one premeditated wave of frenzy after another, and no one can escape unscathed. All efforts made so far will be in vain, and the scars left by the chaos will not be easily healed in a short period of time.
Finally, with the winter riots and the cessation of heating in the cave, the people completely lost hope for long-term goals and could only fall into the immediate struggle for survival.
There is no hope anymore, the Federal Security Bureau is no longer safe, there is no one in the school, the food area has become a fighting arena, and the true fragrance has been buried by the voice of lies. Finally, the people of the planet Volker, whose confidence has been completely destroyed, will naturally make the current federal rule unable to continue.
"They are targeting the newly established founding beliefs of the people of Planet Volk."
Mo Siming opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief. He hadn't expected Shengxia to understand everything so clearly. But then he saw Shengxia's mocking chuckle. But unlike this chuckle, her eyes were filled with sadness and anger, like a long-suppressed active volcano looking for an opportunity to erupt.
"But they didn't anticipate that the people and even high-level officials, who had been brutally exploited by them for many years, would show great acceptance of this crime, which was considered extremely unforgivable by the alien forces. After all, for many, many years, they had been forced to choose between their families and betraying their conscience and soul."
"Most of them have fallen into the quagmire of despair because of this choice, and they may not be able to get out of the quagmire even if they struggle their whole lives."
When Shengxia said this, she couldn't help but think of Ji Zhuifeng and the others who were still in prison, waiting for the winter snow to melt and be reborn. They had all wandered in the shadows of the dark river for a long time without seeing the light.
"And yet, the alien infiltration forces are trying to exploit the wounds of the entire population of Planet Volk to drive them mad. Isn't this just another form of condescension?"
"In short, whether it's the Federation or the alien forces, they don't care what the people of Planet Volk think. They just want to use them as pawns."
Mo Siming couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. He felt his mind was in a mess, but because of Shengxia's interruption, he completely forgot what he wanted to ask about the handling of Wei Jie's matter.
When the people from the Federation asked about it, Mo Siming slapped his thigh and replied angrily, "This midsummer!"
When he turned around and went back to look for it in the melted cave, he heard from the federal security team that the planetary commander had led his team to the hot spring area and temporarily summoned a large number of workers who had originally built the underground river defense project, as well as the corresponding engineering research experts and student teams to leave together.
"She...she just left like that?" Mo Siming couldn't believe it.
"Yes, sir. Um, she also left a message for you."
A word from the member of the Federal Security Team on duty made Mo Siming's eyes widen. Isn't Shengxia so casual? If she had something to say, why didn't she say it to him in person, but instead gave it to the member of the Federal Security Team on duty outside Rongdong?
"What?"
"She said that the inside of the Rongdong Cave is in your hands. She's going to do something big on the livestream."
"Why is it live again? Oh my god." Mo Siming cursed angrily with a headache.
But then, under the gazes of the Federal Security Team members on duty who were silently looking at him, he quietly opened his light brain and began to watch the live broadcast from the melting cave. Soon, he also found that the communication windows related to the Federation and the alien forces were all opened by Shengxia.
It is obvious that this live broadcast is not only for the people of Volk Planet in the melting cave, but also for the top leaders of the Federation and alien forces to witness together.
Mo Siming raised his foot to leave but was stopped by the federal guard team. He also said that the planet commander had ordered Mo Siming to stay in the melting cave and control the corresponding target population. When necessary, he would also be responsible for taking over the command of the federal security team to maintain the existing order.
"The planetary commander also said that even if her operation failed, all personnel must evacuate the melt cave in batches in an orderly and organized manner. There must be no stampede or rioting that would cause unnecessary casualties."
Mo Siming: ... "Wait, everyone evacuate the Rongdong. No, then where should we evacuate to? No, do you have a plan?"
"Am I the only one in this entire melting cave who can't figure out what's going on?!"
