Chapter 1087： Fair judgment

The wheels of history are rolling forward, not changed by personal will. The black hand behind the scenes never showed up, and the Japanese government could only swallow the bitter pill.

In a sense, the final result is the same regardless of whether there is a man behind the scenes. In short, the escalation of the conflict between Japan and Russia is inevitable.

No war broke out. It was because Japan and Russia were not ready for war. Now the two governments are delaying time tacitly. Whoever completes the war preparations first will act first.

Perhaps it was to relieve the pressure of the Japanese government, or perhaps it was a pure coincidence. After Christmas in 1903, the London government issued an announcement announcing that it would withdraw from the free trade system.

No surprise, the secret negotiation between Shinra and Britain ended in failure last week.

Even Franz's proposal for the two countries to form an alliance again and jointly hold world hegemony was rejected by the British.

It’s right to think about it. If we continue to maintain the free trade system and jointly rule the world hegemony with Shinra, it is estimated that it will take less than ten years before Britain will go home to collect clothes.

As a person with vested interests, the British will not be reconciled if they don't give it a go, let alone they still have the Royal Navy.

Although the advantages of the Royal Navy are no longer obvious, the advantages are always advantages.

With the collapse of the free trade system, the struggle for hegemony between Shenluo and Britain is no longer possible to ease.

While paying close attention to the situation in the Far East, Franz also began to prepare for the next battle for hegemony.

Frankly speaking, Franz did not want to use war to seize hegemony. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. From the time the British refused to compromise, the chariot of the Holy Roman Empire started.

As the driver of this tank, Franz can apply the brakes, but there is no way to stop the tank from moving forward.

"Frederick wrote a note to all countries and the World Free Trade Economic Summit will be held in Vienna next month to encourage all countries to impose sanctions on the British.

When necessary, the export prices of monopolistic export products to the UK can be pushed up, so that the UK market will be out of stock in a short period of time, detonating the economic crisis in advance.

Inform relevant companies in advance so that they are ready to reduce production and minimize our losses. For enterprises that have suffered heavy losses, the government will provide corresponding subsidies as appropriate. "

Monopoly products are self-evident, except for food, they are petrochemical products. As for machinery and equipment, although the products produced by the British have poor performance, they can still be manufactured after all.

Even for food and petrochemical products, Shinra’s monopoly is not complete, as long as there is time, the British can still find a substitute.

It's a pity that the British lacked time. Before the passage of Parliament, the British government did not have that power even if it wanted to reserve related materials in advance.

The government did not reserve in advance, and private enterprises also did not prepare. According to British practice, it is possible for a policy to be linked to it for decades, and everyone would never have thought that results would come out so quickly.

Unlike the economic system of Shinra, the government can interfere in the market at any time, but the London government has no right to point fingers at domestic companies, let alone order everyone to reserve raw materials in advance.

Once the price of raw materials in the international market rises, related companies will inevitably be affected, and downstream consumption will also be greatly affected.

The implementation of trade barriers is not what Franz wanted. This is a lose-lose style of play. Although the British are not comfortable with Shinra, they will also suffer heavy losses.

Whether to kill a thousand enemies would cause 800 damage, or kill 800 enemies would damage one thousand, no one could give an answer before the incident happened.

The only certainty is that a new round of economic crisis will erupt with the collapse of the free trade system, and all export-oriented enterprises will be hit hard.

In a sense, the outbreak of the economic crisis is the countdown to the war. With the two world wars in original time and space as a template, Franz sees farther than the average person.

It is not impossible to delay the outbreak of war, but Franz can't wait.

Seeing that he has reached the age of 74, his physical and mental qualities have been greatly reduced. If he does not start a war, I guess he will not be able to lead the war.

After dealing with the British, there are still a lot of things to be done at home. A large part of these matters can only be handled by Franz himself.

In order to draw a successful end to his emperor's career, Franz must allow sufficient time to complete all this before the energy is still able to support it.

The detonation of the economic crisis is the beginning of the war, but it is the economy, not the army, that confronts first.

Frederick persuaded: "Father, is it too fast? The country is not ready yet, and if the economic crisis is set off now, we will also lose a lot."

As the crown prince regent, Frederick knew the economic situation in Shinra.

Since the news that Britain has withdrawn from the free trade system, domestic companies with foresight have been preparing to store grain for the winter.

It's not that everyone's ideological consciousness is high, but the state-owned enterprises and the royal consortium have made a good start. Many other capitalists have passively followed suit.

Specifically, in 1903, the major domestic enterprises of Shinra all suspend capacity expansion, reduce cargo inventory, and increase cash flow reserves.

It's just that this is not enough. In just one year, even if everyone is prepared, there is still no guarantee that they can survive the next cold winter.

The country that has been suffering from the free trade system for a long time is not just Britain. With the beginning of the British people, there are definitely not a few following.

Destruction is far easier than construction. The reality is very obvious. Before defeating Britain, don't want to re-establish a free trade system.

The duration of the market winter is at least a few years, and it may even last for more than ten years.

Franz shook his head: "Can't wait any longer. If we don't lose out to the British, how can the Russians dare to smash the Japanese?

The Siberian Railway has not yet opened to traffic, and Russia’s military power in the Far East is no match for the Japanese at all.

Regardless of the fact that the Tsarist government launched the strategy of moving eastward, the interests of the Far East are still dispensable for the Russian Empire.

Once the frontline encounters a defeat, who can guarantee that the Russians will not cut their flesh to stop losses and directly abandon the Far East?

If the Czarist government abandons the Far East, it will continue to advance southward, for fear that the Russians will shrink back and sit and watch our game with the British.

Without pulling out this nail in advance, can you rest assured that you will fight the British? "

"Trust" is a flaw, even if the Russian-Austrian alliance lasted for decades, Franz still couldn't believe the Russians.

There is no betrayal, it is just that the betrayal chips are not enough. For your own safety, it is better to let Teddy Bear get sick first.

...

Politics has always affected the whole body. With the collapse of the free trade system, Britain and Shinra have officially gone into opposition.

Affected by this, the ministerial mission investigating the Russian embassy case also split, making the situation in the Far East even more confusing.

But these are all important people need to consider, and they are still far from ordinary people's lives. It is the people in Tokyo who really feel the "body", and the situation has become increasingly tense.

Don’t say it’s a parade on the streets, even friends and family gatherings will attract the patronage of the military and police, making everyone talk cautiously.

There is no way, the trial of the International Court of Justice has already begun, and the Japanese government really does not want to make any further complications.

No matter how popular the people are, in the eyes of the Japanese government, those who attack the Russian embassy are all thugs.

There is no ruler who likes unruly people. Even if the starting point is good, the result is tragic!

If you don't kill and frighten the newcomers, who knows if a similar scene will continue in the future?

If it is the radical nature to destroy the Russian embassy today, the Shinra embassy will be destroyed tomorrow, and the British embassy will be destroyed the day after tomorrow...

Tossing all the way to death, I don't know when, I buried the foundation of Japan.

...

Since the division of the ministerial group, the presiding judge Lorelai from Switzerland, the pressure has suddenly increased.

On the one hand, he has to maintain the sanctity of the judiciary, and on the other hand, he has to be criticized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which makes him miserable.

The biggest problem with this international trial is that there is no uniform sentencing standard, and there is no international precedent to follow.

Russia and Austria demand strict handling, while Britain and Japan hope to open up the net. Of course, this dispute is limited to ordinary people involved, and important criminals still have to click.

"Kazuo Tanaka, the founder and chairman of the Jagged Revenge Society, has planned many anti-Russian demonstrations and assassinations. One of the main planners of the Russian embassy case..."

Before the representative of the investigation team completed the complaint, Kazuo Tanaka roared: "No, I am clearly planning the Russian embassy case. How can I be one of the planners?

What do you want to do, play with the nine races? Where is the axiom of the world, where is the law..."

The scene before him directly stunned many people, especially the defense lawyer of Kazuo Tanaka, who was in a daze.

This is completely different from the prior communication. The client takes all the charges against himself, where does he put his defense lawyer?

Lorelai, as the presiding judge, was equally dumbfounded. In the past two decades of his trial career, he had never seen such a criminal.

Fortunately, the bailiff in charge of the custody reacted and promptly stopped Kazuo Tanaka and ended the farce.

It was only after this incident that the next trial became a trivial matter. Although Lorelai wanted to go through the judicial process, it was a pity that the other judges didn't buy it.

"International Tribunal" does not mean that it must be professional. Except for Lorelai, the presiding judge, who is a judicial professional, most of the other people are temporarily assigned by ministers of various countries.

There is no uniform international law these days, let alone a uniform judicial procedure. Without rules and regulations, it means strong operability.

In the eyes of most people, as long as the facts of the crime are confirmed, then be sentenced as soon as possible. There are many people waiting behind?

Without any accident, Kazuo Tanaka, who took the initiative to admit the facts of the crime, was directly sentenced to death.

Perhaps it was the Japanese government's struggle that played a role, or perhaps because of Kazuo Tanaka's initiative to plead guilty, the International Court of Justice finally decided to satisfy Kazuo Tanaka's "cut belly" request.

Once the farce begins, it will not end so quickly. Kazuo Tanaka was just the beginning, and all the evidence was destined to die, so they took the initiative to take responsibility, and the only requirement was to cut their belly.

The Japanese people present were even more angry. After every repeat offender asked for an abdomen, there would be bursts of applause, as if to welcome a hero, making Lorelai directly doubt life.

Not only was he doubting life, but the ministers of various countries who watched the trial were also shocked by the scene before him.

At any rate, I have to struggle a bit, and all of them acted heroically, making the ministerial group look like a big villain.

Well, the ministerial missions these days are really not a good product. Most of the time, they play a negative role.

But this time it was an obvious exception. In addition to dealing with the real murderer, the ministers did not take advantage of the fire.

It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly destroyed by the **** stick. Britain and Austria are heading for confrontation, the ministerial mission split ahead of schedule, and the robbery will naturally not proceed.

Fortunately, there are only a few who are not afraid of death. With the end of the trial of the felon, the people behind gradually become normal, and the defense lawyer is finally no longer a spectator.

The previous wave of warriors was actually forced out. As the main person responsible for the Russian embassy case, no matter how he defends, he can't escape, so he should be brave.

The latter accomplices were different. Most people just participated in the parade that day, and some people were completely affected by the fish.

You are neither the organizer or planner nor the attack on the Russian embassy, ​​so naturally you don't need to be responsible for the death of the Russian embassy staff.

Although the International Court of Justice is infringing upon Japan's sovereignty, the most basic impartiality is still necessary, and it is naturally impossible to smash everyone with a single brain.

Although the Russian representative wanted to do this very much, it was a pity that the influence of the Tsarist government in the ministerial mission was not enough to make everyone lay down their morals.

Because there are too many people involved in the case, more than 5,000 people are on trial. Except for the first repeated offenders, which are tried one by one, they will simply come in groups in the later period.

...

"Thirty-three people including Jiro Yamaxian, Ichichi Tanabe, Wang Decheng, Li Yixiang, Watanabe... organized and participated in the parade on November 27, 1903, which caused traffic jams and severely endangered social order, leading to..."

Unconsciously, the style of painting has changed. The original Russian embassy case has become a crime against social order.

If it is not that the ministerial mission behind the International Court of Justice is not easy to provoke, it is estimated that the Japanese government will start scolding and endanger social order. Isn't this robbing jobs?

Of course, this is impossible. Anyone with a little bit of political common sense knows that the crime of endangering social order can be large or small. The investigative team is prosecuting the crime, which is obviously intended to release these people.

Relational households exist everywhere. International students can think of a way. As Japanese students, they will naturally not lack relationships.

A repeat offender with conclusive evidence will naturally not be recovered, but there is no one who is directly involved in the case. As long as the relationship is cleared out behind the scenes, the person can still be recovered.

Of course, acquittal is impossible, and the investigation team also wants face. It is still necessary to give a trivial charge and a symbolic punishment.

"Dear judges, jury, these parties of mine are just participating in an ordinary parade, and no one wants to see an accident midway.

We have reached a compensation agreement with the victim, and the victim and the Tokyo government have agreed not to file a lawsuit..."

Talking nonsense with your eyes open is also a skill. As a defense lawyer, there is no lack of this ability.

As a judge, Lorelai is the one who hates guanxi most, which means that justice has been challenged.

For example, now, people have not affected the verdict, but directly changed the prosecution charges.

In the case of the Russian embassy, ​​a sentence of three to five years, ten years or eight years is fine, but it only disturbs the social order. Both the victim and the Tokyo government have given up the prosecution. The presiding judge is also very helpless!

After discussing with the other judges, everyone has always decided to deal with it. The symbolic punishment was obtained.

After all, hello me hello everyone, that is really good.

In a daze, the thirty-three people, including Wang Decheng, were released from jail for two years of voluntary work in the community.

As for how to implement it, where to implement it, and these small issues, naturally no one will go into the details.

Wang Decheng, who had escaped a catastrophe, learned the cause and effect from his cousin, and his whole person was not well.

Participating in a parade, not only spent two months in prison, but also owed a lot of favors to his family.

To be able to stand out from the many Wang's children and study abroad, Wang Decheng still knows how many catties he has.

With one's own face, at most, a few good friends can run for it, which is not enough to make oneself retreat.

Although Chi Yu was not the only one who was affected, his family must have done a lot to facilitate the arms trade with Shinra.

These all require the exchange of political resources. As for when the debt is repaid, it depends on when others need it.

As if seeing his cousin's troubles, Wang Deran comforted: "You don't have to worry too much. The elders in the family know much better than us.

Although the family owed a lot of favors this time, it was a blessing for the family. Don't forget, we have also expanded a lot of contacts through this opportunity. "

There is nothing wrong with the relationship established in this way. You help me today, I will help you tomorrow, and after helping each other a few times, everyone will have a good relationship.

To the comfort of his cousin, Wang Decheng just reluctantly nodded. Although the personal relationship is established in this way, as a party, he is definitely not a hero.

It's nothing more than in Japan. Once you return home, it's time to settle the ledger with him.

Based on his understanding of his own strict father, even if he would not be beaten to death, it is still very possible to be half-dead.

In the feudal big family, the education of their children was very strict. Being dragged by a Japanese friend to participate in the parade, causing such a big disturbance, is a big taboo in itself, and how to warn future generations without severe punishment.

Not only is he unlucky, even his cousin will also be punished. It's just that the cousin was lucky and didn't go to jail, so he could find a way to cover it up.
