837 Liquidation after the War

In the City M court, Aquino IV stood in the defendant position without any color on his face, his eyes stared blankly at the pattern on the floor tiles.

At the moment, his face was paler than when he was just injected with truth-telling serum. The handcuffed arms were almost as thin as sticks. In order to prevent UN observers from mistaking that he was treated inhumanely in prison, before the trial, prison guards forced down him two high-calorie nutrient supplies under Jiang Chen's instructions.

The indignation of the public prosecutor drew the applause of the jury. However, all this was quiet and inaudible, just liked flies buzzing around his ears.

It wasn't until the judge's verdict that he raised his head.

"The accused Aquino is sentenced to life imprisonment for dereliction of duty, crimes against humanity, crimes against public security, war crimes, with a total of 15 counts. The sentencing will be executed immediately after the court trial with no parole and medical treatment during the sentence."

The judge's words were like heavy hammer strikes that rang the death bell of Aquino's heart.

He was full of regret.

He regretted being tempted by Rothschild's words, regretted fighting this stupid war, and regretted agreeing to Moritz's crazy plan...

However, regretting was futile.

Because of this lapse of judgement, he was nailed to the pole of shame in history.

He hated the fact that the judge did not give him a death penalty...

"Go."

The gendarmerie said coldly, his hands pressed on Aquino's shoulders.

Looking at the young gendarmerie, looking at his hateful eyes, Aquino wondered why he wanted to laugh.

However, he didn't manage to laugh.

The gendarmerie pushed him out of the court with indifference.

Not only did he bring Country F to the abyss of defeat, but he also ordered the use of nuclear weapons against his own citizens. He had become the sinner of the entire country.

Especially those young people who once supported him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Even compared to Moro people who praising their victory to City M, they hated him more.

"Next, defendant Stark..."

The last thing he heard was the judge's voice without emotion.

After Aquino was taken away, the trial continued.

...

As the perpetrators of war, both Aquino and Marshal Stark were sentenced to life imprisonment and detained in the notorious Quezon City prison in City M.

In fact, at the very beginning, the court was preparing to give the two death sentences. However, taking into account the pressure from the international community and the abolition of the death penalty in Country F's criminal law, the Supreme Court's judges changed their final judgment to life imprisonment after considering Jiang Chen's proposal.

For them, death was a relief.

Sometimes living was a more cruel punishment.

The remaining war criminals were each sentenced to more than 20 years and less than 50 years of imprisonment. Although there was a time limit on these sentencings, the age of these war criminals meant that the sentences they received were no different from life imprisonment.

Since the war had ended, the mess had also been cleaned up.

Then the real liquidation should begin!

In late August, the F Country transitional government verified the accounts of the former regime's state treasury. Based on the reasons of indirectly supporting the war of aggression, the transitional government froze the assets of many parties that allegedly funded war criminal Aquino IV, including Rothschild bank.

This move immediately caused strong dissatisfaction in countries from the European Union!

However, at this moment, there was no use for them being dissatisfied. The only thing they could do was to cancel the 20 million US Dollar in aid originally provided to the transitional government.

However, more than 10 billion US Dollar in assets had been nationalized by the Country F transitional government.

The peso became just mere papers with printed colors, and now the finances of the country were under duress.

The properties previously belonging to the Rothschild Bank, the mines of the BHP Mining Group, and the plantations and sugar factories of the Louis Dreyfus were all sold off by the transitional government in need of funding. Most of these assets liquidated at a low price and eventually fell into Jiang Chen's pocket.

With a low price of 6 billion US Dollar, the 20 billion assets invested by the Jewish consortium in Country F were stripped clean. As the behind-the-scenes controller of the transitional government, Jiang Chen earned a lot!

The money was spent from his personal account, so it was not within the assets of Future Group. However, in order to facilitate the management of these assets, he used a symbolic price of 1 US Dollar to pour these "trophies" to his "left hand" – Future Bank, and Future People Group would manage these assets.

As the saying goes, the more debt you have, the less you're worried.

Anyway, Jiang Chen already was on bad terms with the Freemasonry, and did not care how much more he would do. It would dumb to care about their past relationships in this hostile state.

Just like this, Future Group's withdraw from the European Union that costed billions immediately got paid back by the Freemasonry.

Not only did billions of dollar worth of investments go down the drain, all of the assets in Country F were liquidated. It was no exaggeration to say that within this month, the direct losses of the Rothschild family amounted to 20 billion US Dollar. And several Jewish consortia that were inextricably linked to Freemasonry had a loss that added up to more than 35 billion US Dollar!

In theory, with such terrible losses, it would be absolutely impossible for these Jewish consortia to give up. However, at this moment, even if they just wanted to retaliate against Future Group, they had no energy left.

While the entire world was focused on Southeast Asia, Ukraine, far behind the globe, was quietly brewing a dramatic change.

On the evening of August 20, militants stationed in Donetsk launched a new round of offensive attacks against the Ukrainian government forces west of the ceasefire line, destroying the mortars and howitzers used to harass the western defense line of Donetsk.

Although the two sides reached a ceasefire under the mediation of the United Nations, the ceasefire in the true sense had never been honored. Although no one had crossed the ceasefire line, sporadic mutual artillery attacks had always been the daily "greeting" of both parties. The artillery shells that had fallen to the east of the ceasefire line were produced by the European Union's military factories, and those that fell to the west were produced in Moscow.

Now grudges over the years have finally been ignited.

The Kremlin knew clearly, this time was Russia's golden opportunity to recover eastern Ukraine! If they didn't act this time, then it would be impossible to find another good opportunity. Under the secret support of Russia, the militant forces in eastern Ukraine drove government troops from the ceasefire line to the other side of Dnieper.

Recovering all of the territory, Donetsk and Lugansk held successive referenda to prepare to replicate the Crimean model and merge into the Russian Federation.

NATO's energy was contained in the Turkish Civil War and the Southeast Asian nuclear crisis. The Ukrainian crisis that broke out at this time undoubtedly caught the unprepared EU and UA off guard.

The battle in their own front lawn forced the Freemasonry to temporarily shift its strategic focus to central European. As for how much chips the EMP could add to Russia's response to NATO, it was not what Jiang Chen could foresee.

The game between superpowers, and the game between superpowers and small countries, was played using completely different rules.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was busy digesting the loot discarded by the Jews, and had no time to manage such a distant issue.

The second round of battle against the Freemasonry resulted in the victory of Future Group!
