Chapter 92, Murder and Punishment(1/2)

With the arrest of one official after another, the original anti-Semitic movement gradually came to an end and instead launched a vigorous anti-corruption campaign.

In all dynasties, arresting corrupt officials has been the most popular among the people, and Austria is no exception.

Although there is no direct embezzlement, the transfer of interests under power-money transactions is essentially the same. To be precise, the punishment stipulated by Austrian law is the same.

Seeing the big names arrested, the happiest thing is the news media. There are big news every day, and there is no duplication. The sales of newspapers in 1886 hit a record high.

The people who were eating melons were also satisfied. So many stories were staged, and there was a topic of conversation after dinner.

Even the public officials in the government were satisfied. The sadness of the rabbit and the fox was there, but it could not stop the enthusiasm for promotion.

There are radish and pits, and the ones above do not retreat, and the ones below cannot reach at all. If they block the way, they will be the enemy.

At this point, the major anti-corruption case initiated by the investigation team has been completely out of control, and it is not enough to stop just by saying that.

One by one, the more people were involved, the more people were involved, and Franz was stunned.

You should know that the transfer of interests is much higher than the technical content of direct embezzlement. Ordinary public officials cannot afford to play with them. The real officials are all involved in the case.

The heads of many places have entered, and the local high-level officials have been taken over, leaving a bunch of grassroots personnel to take charge of the work.

Then, the local functional agencies actually operated normally. Well, compared with the cases in later generations where governments were closed and the country was operating normally, this seemed nothing.

The current international situation is very stable. As long as the local area is not in chaos, anti-corruption actions can continue.

When officials go in, the bribers cannot escape. In order to reduce their sentences, reports will inevitably happen.

Unless you are extremely guilty and you are sure to be sentenced to death, you can choose to bear the consequences. Most people have to consider themselves and want to be less responsible for their crimes.

Looking at the increasing number of people involved in the case, Franz is loyal to the outside world: the Austrian government is not anti-Semitism, it is an anti-corruption and anti-gangster.

There is no problem. Only more than 40% of the Jews are imprisoned, less than half of them. There is still conclusive evidence of crime. What is it not to fight corruption and crackdown on gangsters?

Franz doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care. As the person involved, Earl Waiters was scared, the prison was almost overcrowded, and the case could not come to an end.

In the past month, Earl Waiters has been assassinated three times, and the assassins were all Jews. No one knows who the real black hand is.

Anyway, Witts is a Jew who does not believe in the leaderlessness of the dragon, and he is also able to carefully plan and assassinate again and again.

Not only was he himself suffering, but his family members were attacked by thugs. Fortunately, the Vienna police were very powerful and solved the problem in a timely manner.

In the Prime Minister's residence, Earl Waiters complained anxiously: "Prime Minister, everyone is waiting crazy outside. Yes, they are just a group of madmen!"

Looking at Yuri's deputy, Prime Minister Carl sighed in his heart. To be honest, he still had some sympathy for Earl West.

However, if you do something wrong, you have to pay a price. This road was chosen by West himself. No matter how many pitfalls there are, he can only walk through it himself.

"West, calm down, your current state is very wrong. The sky has not yet collapsed, what are the fears of a group of madmen!"

Prime Minister Carl has this confidence that Austria's bourgeoisie has limited strength, especially its force is almost zero.

The so-called influence is nothing more than a network of relationships established by power-money transactions.

However, this kind of network of relationships is the most unreliable. The power of bureaucrats comes from the government and can be knocked out of dust once ordered.

Anyway, the Austrian government system is complete, and no matter who enters, it can operate normally.

The chief officer has entered, and there is a deputy who has replaced him; the deputy who has also entered, and there is a next level top, anyway, according to the administrative level, all the way to replace him.

For example, in several cities in Gasilia, ordinary employees now act as mayoral powers. It may not be possible to do things, but maintaining the status quo is enough.

After so many years of compulsory education, the Vienna government has no shortage of officials, and no matter how many vacancies are, they can be filled soon.

If there is not enough manpower, at worst, it’s all right. Prime Minister Carl is not worried at all. These guys can make a big mess.

Earl of Waiters: "But Prime Minister, they are now..."

Before he could finish his words, Carl interrupted, "Earl, I know what you mean.

It’s just that some clowns are too active and have interfered with the investigation team’s investigation and your normal life.

Don't worry, the police have deployed enough police force to protect your safety. The cabinet has just made a decision to carry out a nationwide crackdown.

All thugs will be punished the most severely, including the mastermind behind the scenes.

No matter how high their identities or their status are, as long as you can pull them out, you don’t have to worry about someone taking revenge later.”

It seems plain, but in fact, Prime Minister Carl has become interested in killing. Assassinating government officials is slapping the Vienna government in the face.

Prime Minister Carl hates these guys who break the rules of the game. Once they are found out, they will be a 100-year prison term. They keep the special packages that are in and out of the way.

Witts doesn't want to be retaliated against in the future. The best way is to dig out all the enemies this time and eliminate future troubles once and for all.

It seems simple, but it is actually a fallacy. Although there are many suspects found now, there are still a few who can be sent to prison with real conclusive evidence.

Neither capitalists nor bureaucrats are alone. If they are in trouble, their younger brothers will not be able to escape.

If all the suspects were arrested, then the more than 40,000 people who were imprisoned would not be the current 40,000 people. I am afraid the number of people would have exceeded the 100,000 mark.

If there is a fish that misses the net, the hatred that Waiters and others is destined to disappear, and they will inevitably be retaliated against in the future.

After hesitating for a while, Earl West said ruthlessly: "Prime Minister, there are many criminals now that the evidence is conclusive. Do you see if you can hand them over to the court for trial first?"

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!

This time, there were too many people involved, and many people believed that the Vienna government would "hold up high and fall gently" and lacked enough awe.

The best way is to start a massacre and use blood to let these people know that doing something wrong will kill people.

After a little thought, Prime Minister Carl nodded: "Then select a group of repeated offenders and punish them severely, and the number of people is tentatively set to be one thousand."

The fate of a thousand unlucky guys is decided so. As a typical example of killing a chicken to warn monkeys, it will be dealt with in accordance with the strictest standards stipulated by the law.

Hearing this answer, Earl of Witters gasped. One thousand people, which is almost the total number of criminals executed by Austria last year, is now in one step.

No doubt, not to mention choosing a thousand repetitive offenders to be executed, even two thousand three thousand is more than enough.

Although the outside world is concerned about anti-corruption and anti-Semitism, in fact, the most arrested gangsters are actually the gangsters.

There is no other reason, because these scums are the easiest to collect.

Most of the crimes committed by others are economic. Even if there is a murder, it is still a behind-the-scenes commander. These guys are the specific executors.

Seeing the Prime Minister's firm attitude, Waiters secretly felt very grateful. Fortunately, his role was changed quickly, otherwise he would have become a murdered chicken now.

Don’t say that you don’t kill the nobles. If you become the boss of such a criminal gang of tens of thousands of people, you won’t be able to escape no matter how prominent the status is.

...

The central square of Bukovina is already crowded with people, and countless people are coming to watch the court’s public trial.

The elderly Faeld and his group also appeared in the crowd, but compared to the excitement of the people around them, Faeld and others looked gloomy and terrible.

The judge today is the famous Mr. Leo Cohen. Perhaps to others, this is a scumbag who does everything he wants, but to them, this is a compatriot who deserves respect.

As the charges were confirmed, Faeld closed his eyes and said slowly: "Let's go!"

It is impossible to cause trouble. Any European nation can cause trouble these days, but the Jews cannot.

If you are a person with your tail between them, you will be in danger of being in danger. If you jump out and cause trouble, it will be an excuse to the anti-Semitic forces.

Emotionally, Osido said unwillingly: "That defense lawyer is just an idiot, I want to..."

Seeing that the people around him had strange eyes, fearing that Ossido would say something stupid, Faelder hurriedly scolded: "Shut up!"

Whether the defense lawyer gives it to you is secondary. The key is that the evidence is too sufficient and there is a lot of evidence.

Regardless of whether they would accept it or not, the court decided that Leo Cohen’s crime was found.

With Faeld's years of life experience, from the discussions of the people around him, he knew that Leo Cohen had done a lot of bad things.

Ordinary Jews are very low-key, and in daily life they should reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid attracting hostility.

Generally, the more arrogant Jews hooked up with local power-oriented people. Leo Cohen was very unlucky and was betrayed by his boss.

The evidence that was originally used to kill the death penalty has now become illegal evidence that he framed Austrian officials, attempted to manipulate politics, conspired to subvert...

The evidence you provide can bring yourself to the guillotine, what else can you say?

...

Back at the station, Felder said earnestly: "Osido, come calm first.

We are all very sorry about Mr. Leo's affairs, but we have no way to overturn the evidence from the police. Especially a lot of the evidence in it was explained by Mr. Leo himself.

I guess you know what this means. If the Austrians take it out for public trial, it means that the charges cannot be overturned.

It is no longer easy for you to get out of this matter.

You know, Glair and the others have not come out yet. If nothing unexpected happens, they may never come out.

If you get involved again, not only will you not be able to save Mr. Leo, but you will also ruin more of your compatriots.

Believe, you understand what I mean."

Can you understand that Osido was not involved? It was because the Jews were preparing to push him into politics, and politicians could not have obvious stains, so Leo never let Osido interfere in his business.

Of course, that was the past. There is no need to think about it now. After this incident, the Jewish forces in the Bukovina region suffered great damage and were no longer able to push Osido into politics.

Without external support and his sensitive national identity, even if he passes the assessment, he is destined to go far.

"Don't worry, Mr. Felder. I know what to do next and will not cause trouble for everyone."
