Chapter 831 Out
Silver Wolf personally found someone to deploy a qiē, and a storm against Deyang International and Lewis himself was about to unfold.
A few days later, a group of people broke into Deyang International's largest office in California, led by several U.S. troops in military uniforms and followed by a group of people in civilian clothes.
"I'm sorry, but you don't have the right to break in. Several security guards at the gate tried to stop them.
"Actually, we have the right to do that. Gentlemen, unless you put your weapons and cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, our men will shoot you to death. We have a direct mandate from the president. The man in the suit who came up from behind showed them a copy of the text. "Sue me, where is Mr. Lewis?"
"In ...... in the conference room. "Those security guards, who are tall and big and all retired from the special forces, completely lost their temper in front of the official text.
Armed soldiers with loaded guns immediately poured in and took over all the qiē here. The men turned and walked to the conference room.
In the conference room, Lewis was yelling angrily, "Someone is deliberately framing us." You've got to check it out for me to see who's doing it?!"
"Yes sir, our men have been dispatched. It will take some time though. All sorts of news reports are now being directed at us. What we need to do is to silence these people and try to downplay the impact of this incident. A senior company member whispered.
"I'm afraid it can't be stopped. The door to the conference room was pushed open, and several people walked in. "The meeting can now be adjourned. Everyone here except Mr. Lewis can leave as they please. However, it is necessary to cooperate with our investigation at all times. ”
"Who are you?" Lewis frowned at the men, "how did you get in?"
"Came in through the gate. We're from the U.S. Department of Justice, these guys are from the Department of Defense, and we're the CIA officers. We have officially opened an investigation into Deyang's alleged espionage and betrayal of national intelligence. A man said with a blank face.
"We're a defense contractor with long-term defense contracts, who authorized our investigation?" Lewis said in a deep voice.
"Not anymore, due to the sensitivity of this massive leak. It has risen to the level of national security. Most of your contracts will be forcibly terminated. Deyang will suspend its domestic and foreign operations. Until the end of the investigation. ”
Lewis exclaimed, "This can't be. You can't do that!"
"We will arrange an internal hearing, which will be composed of several of our departments, and we will listen to you first. But that's for an in-depth investigation. Then we will check all the records and files of Deyang Company, and all the capital accounts. Even your private information is under investigation, especially with the recent series of attacks in Afghanistan. The CIA officer said coldly.
Lewis forced his composure, "I want to see Mr. Minister." This is a conspiracy with a plan against our Deyang. ”
"You go out, and I'll have a few words to Mr. Lewis alone. A man in a military uniform turned to look at the others.
"Better hurry. The CIA officer coldly turned and walked out.
The soldier looked at Lewis and said, "The minister asked me to bring you a message, and he can't help you this time." I don't know what you guys think, selling classified information to the Afghan * armed forces. This is already beyond the bottom line of the military. This is treason, and it would have been even more serious if it had been found that this information had been leaked during the war in Afghanistan. Because this applies to the Wartime Espionage Act. ”
"Someone is deliberately framing us. Lewis said in a deep voice.
The soldier nodded, "I know, and so does Mr. Minister." But now there is no room for optimism, and there are too many people who have fallen into the stone for you. At the head of the pack is a giant like Boeing. Now it's not just these charges that have been brought against you, but the Federal Audit Office has also stepped in.
In their audit report, they revealed that the Deyang Group had mismanaged the program in the performance of the $1.3 billion contract for the training of Iraqi police, spending money like money, and committing serious fraud. He also committed bribery in the performance of a $15 million contract from the United Nations.
God, Mr. Minister doesn't want to be dragged into it by your gang. The best way to solve the problem is for you to be investigated, and cooperate with all the qiē, and maybe not to be too severe. ”
"Damn, these situations you are talking about, almost every military company has. Why are you going to cut us?" Lewis said through gritted teeth.
"Because no one else is making trouble. Did you know that since the day before yesterday, when the media began to hype up these fierce news, the minister has held two emergency meetings for this purpose. This is the United States, and the mouth of public opinion cannot be stopped. Now that you're down, stop struggling uselessly. The soldier said slowly, "Originally, your ground maintenance project would be transferred to Boeing, but now they want you to step over as soon as possible." Other military companies are also eyeing you, do you think they will miss an opportunity to take out a competitor?"
"How so?!" Lewis froze.
"You've been on the management board for too long, and you're hated. The soldier said lightly.
"But if you really want to investigate us, the implication will be very big. Lewis said coldly, "You people may not be implicated. Haven't you ever benefited from us?"
"That's why we're doing a joint investigation to make sure we can all stay out of the way. The investigation of Deyang will not be made public, and we can say whatever we want. As long as you come up with an acceptable result, it's over. But this time, I'm afraid that Deyang Company will not be able to save it, and you may also go to jail. The soldier sighed, "The minister asked me to say hello to you first, don't try to find him." ”
"You ...... You're going to sacrifice the whole of Deyang International?" Lewis said in disbelief.
"If something happens, someone has to carry it. You know the rules. Without Deyang, we would still be able to find maintenance and combat personnel. There are a lot of private companies right now staring at your share of defense contracts. In the eyes of the higher-ups, they are the bosses, and you are just employees. And the boss takes the image very seriously. A notorious mercenary company clearly does not fit the image they have always wanted to show to the world. The soldier shrugged, "It's a pity, but in this game, you have touched certain rules that cannot be touched, so you and Deyang Company are out." ”
Lewis's face turned pale.
