Chapter 1048: Seize the Commanding Height of News
As soon as Speaker Long finished speaking, Gu Nianzhi and Special Assistant Zhuang asked in unison, “Where did the Aricans obtain this intelligence from?!”
How could they know the nas of their nation’s 27 soldiers?!
Speaker Long’s expression was glum as he balled his hands into fists. “That was also the sa question we asked.” As he spoke, he placed the list of the 27 soldiers before Gu Nianzhi. “Take a look. Do we need to fight this lawsuit?”
As soon as Gu Nianzhi read the list, she instantly understood these were precisely the 27 Special Operations Forces personnel in the central control room that day!
She knew all of them, since these were her brothers and uncles who had watched her grow up.
Seeing these familiar nas being nad defendants in the Arican courts, Gu Nianzhi felt an unrealistic sense of absurdity.
She composed herself before taking the indictnt from the US Departnt of Justice and reading it over.
The indictnt was very thick, so Gu Nianzhi only read the summary on the first page.
The US Departnt of Justice’s indictnt indicated that they were charging the 27 soldiers with 31 counts, including using phishing software to obtain passwords, hacking into US Secret Laboreaotory’s computer systems to plant viruses, stealing advanced technical data, using virus commands to damage computer software and hardware, and violating personal privacy, theft of business and trade secrets and more. They demanded astronomical compensation.
The indictnt was from the Federal District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The 27 Chinese soldiers were also wanted imdiately.
The indictnt was accompanied by an arrest warrant issued by the FBI and included clear photos of the 27 military officers.
Gu Nianzhi read the summary and smiled bitterly. “The United States has employed a politically correct person as the Attorney General, so his professionalism can only be relegated as secondary in importance. How could they have written such a ridiculous indictnt otherwise? The US Departnt of Justice has probably played deaf and mute for too long. This is truly too embarrassing.”
“You an that they shouldn’t be suing us?”
“Of course they shouldn’t be. First, according to the procedural justice of US law, the ans of obtaining evidence must be legal and made public in order to be legal. Look at these soldiers’ information. This is all classified top secret in our own nation. How did the Aricans get their hands on it? Do they dare to reveal their thods and modes of obtaining this information?”
Gu Nianzhi knocked on the thick indictnt. “They certainly wouldn’t dare to tell us. Anyone with eyes could tell that they must have obtained this information illegally. They either had a spy obtain it, or just as they have accused us of cyber warfare, they also used hackers to steal from our system.”
“You an that the case is simply untenable since their evidence was obtained illegally.” Speaker Long also ca from a legal background, so he had a very deep understanding of the courts.
“Right, the Arican courts shouldn’t have filed this case in the first place. But as we can all see, the Arican courts actually did so.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. “We must forgive their ignorance and arrogance. You have to understand that under the guise of political correctness, the United States has already gone too far. For the sake of political correctness, they can sacrifice fairness, efficiency, quality, and conscience. The last US governnt failed, since it was full of intelligent people who only relied on political correctness to get into office.”
As for the current US governnt, the Twitter-addicted President hadn’t yet finished replacing all the governnt officials. Many of the senior governnt positions were still held by the sa officials from the previous term.
The Attorney General suing the Huaxia soldiers had been appointed by the previous president.
Speaker Long nodded. “Nianzhi said it well. Draft a refusal email and send it to . I’ll forward it to the interim cabinet as well as the Ministry of Foreign affairs, plus General Ji.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded in agreent before returning to her office to draft the refusal email.
She was very familiar with writing such emails, so she was able to quickly criticize the other party’s indictnt in a reasonable and well-grounded manner. From jurisprudence to legal articles, and logic to common sense, everything was completely rebuked by her.
The email was less than 300 words in length in English but was already a wonderful court defense paper.
Speaker Long read the email and clapped his hands in delight. He imdiately forwarded the email to General Ji, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their reference.
General Ji and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarded this like it was a treasure. Using Gu Nianzhi’s refusal email written by a legal professional as basis, they replied to the unreasonable request made by the United States.
The Huaxia Imperial Ministry of Justice was the only one that didn’t pay much attention to the email forwarded by Speaker Long.
Since the Minister of Justice was single-handedly brought into power by Pri Minister Tan Dongbang, he had always regarded Tan Dongbang as his leader.
Even though Tan Dongbang’s status as Pri Minister was at stake, this Minister of Justice still refused to give up on him. He still maintained his position as the Pri Minister’s dog.
He was shocked as soon as he received the indictnt from the US Departnt of Justice and imdiately went to Tan Dongbang for advice.
Tan Dongbang called Cai Songyin over, and together, they sat in the Office of the Pri Minister to listen to the report by the Minister of Justice. They then read the summary of the indictnt with excitent rising in their hearts.
Wasn’t this incident extrely promising?!
Tan Dongbang looked eagerly at Cai Songyin. “Songyin, what do you think we should do about this?”
As soon as Tan Dongbang spoke, Cai Songyin already understood his intentions.
She flipped through the indictnt and mused silently—could there be a glimr of hope for Tan Dongbang’s fate as Pri Minister?!
If they publicized this incident, perhaps they could still manage to reap so benefits during the interim general elections...
Cai Songyin held the thick stack of indictnt papers and replied, “I need to go back and carefully consider what to do.”
“Fine, fine, fine, hurry up and go think about it!” Tan Dongbang actually had his own ideas that he was eager to try out, but Cai Songyin had been prestigious for so long. Tan Dongbang always instinctively sought her opinion first, especially when it ca to major matters.
Cai Songyin left Tan Dongbang’s Office of the Pri Minister with the indictnt and returned to her own building.
After Tan Guiren returned from the senate building that afternoon, she discovered her father, Tan Dongbang, was in a eting. Her mother was also attending the conference, so she didn’t see anyone at all and took a nap imdiately after returning. When she woke up, the servants told her that Cai Songyin had already returned ho.
She hurriedly changed and went to the door to stop her.
Upon seeing Cai Songyin, Tan Guiren fluttered over like a butterfly. “Mommy.”
Cai Songyin stopped in her tracks and smiled as she watched Tan Guiren fall in her embrace.
Hugging Tan Guiren, Cai Songyin replied kindly, “Little darling, why don’t you sleep so more?”
“Mommy, I already slept a lot.” Tan Guiren hugged Cai Songiyn’s arm. “Mommy, I need to tell you sothing. Director Hong is a completely horrible person.”
Cai Songyin wasn’t sure what to respond to this.
“Little darling, you don’t need to pay attention to outside things. You only need to practice your violin.” Cai Songyin brushed away a strand of Tan Guiren’s long, black hair. “How are you doing in the Army Cultural Regint?”
“Pretty good.” Tan Guiren felt very relieved after delivering her ssage. “Mommy, I’ll be going to the regint to practice violin this afternoon and won’t be back until nightti.”
“Go on then, I’ll have Old Chang drive you.”
Old Chang was Cai Songyin’s family driver.
Tan Guiren happily left in the car, and Cai Songyin finally had a chance to take a closer look at the US Departnt of Justice’s indictnt.
She viewed the indictnt from a different angle from Gu Nianzhi. Cai Songyin looked at the indictnt from the perspective that attempted to create major headlines and entertainnt.
As expected, there were almost too many things in the indictnt for her to use to create drama.
There were only four days until Tan Dongbang ran in another election.
They had to seize command of the news!
