Chapter 6 East China Sea Declaration and Prison Visits
The circular, hollow conference table is very huge. The nine heads of alliance members are sitting one after another. On a high separate table next to it, there is a very majestic old man who is the "Guardian of Free Faith" of the alliance.
Charles IX, Grand Duke of the East China Sea.
Lu Ming was speaking, expounding his opinions on the concept of establishing a secretariat of the alliance and the improvement of the collective defense treaty.
But Lu Ming felt a little guilty. He always felt that the Grand Duke was paying attention to him. When others were speaking, the Grand Duke seemed to be too lazy to look at him. When it was his turn, he kept staring at him.
I don’t know if Christine told her old father that she was her lover.
Or rumors from outside reached his ears.
Fortunately, I wrote a manuscript in advance. Although I was a little distracted, I still explained what I wanted to say clearly.
…
The break during the meeting is the so-called coffee break.
In the lounge, Lu Ming was in his own way. After all, the rest were democratically elected leaders. Only the Montenegrin general was more like a dictator. However, he was allowed to enter the alliance because of his special relationship with the East China Sea Region.
Even the only other Central-Continent leader, Li Yuande, a high-ranking official in Xinji Province, also laughed and chatted with those Western leaders and was not close to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming didn't care about this either. He sipped the tea and closed his eyes slightly to rest.
"General Lu..." Someone seemed to be coming in front of him. Lu Ming opened his eyes, but it was Governor Michelson of Ayton State.
Sanmai Company is in Ayton State, so Ayton State is also a state that Lu Ming is more concerned about, and the investigation of Michelson is also very detailed.
Of course, democratically elected governments often bring certain uncertainties, so Lu Ming, Michelson's political opponents in Ayton State, also conducted detailed investigations.
Including Li Hanchao, the leader of the Ayton State branch of the Justice Party. Although he lost to Michelson in the last election, he is undoubtedly the strongest opponent of Michelson. He is from Central China and actually has ethnic advantages in Ayton State.
However, Ayton State voters who are accustomed to partisan politics actually still look at the candidates' campaign promises and the possibility of fulfilling them.
Michelson had a good reputation during his administration. Li Hanchao had no experience in governing. Before Michelson's credibility collapsed, voters should have sought stability and would have been more secure in voting for Michelson.
But the problem is that with the chaos in the imperial capital, ethnic strife has become inevitable.
Li Hanchao seized this point and was using the ancestry of the Zhongzhou people to promote the topic of the Zhongzhou Autonomous Prefecture and that the governor should be a Zhongzhou people. This also resonated with many Zhongzhou people.
There is a high possibility that Michelson will be defeated in Macheng in the next election.
Seeing Michelson sitting next to him with deep thoughts, Lu Ming thought to himself, Ayton State is still more than a year away from the next election, and Michelson should be aware of the crisis.
"General Lu protected many innocent Grifenni people during the riots in Shengjing, which is really admirable!" Michelson sighed.
Lu Ming was slightly startled. Few people present cared about what happened in the Northern Territory. Although they all knew about the xenophobic incident in Shengjing, they rarely understood the real details.
"Ayton State, I hope it won't become the next Shengjing in the future!" Michelson shook his head, picked up the tea and took a sip.
Obviously, what worries him is not that he will encounter a waterloo in the next election, but more importantly, he is worried about the future fate of himself and the Western ethnic groups living in Ayton State.
Most Westerners in the Central Asian settlement are not as sensitive as him, and many of them are still living in a dream.
Lu Ming patted his hand gently, "Don't worry, it won't happen. I still believe in my people. There were many triggering factors for the riots in Shengjing, and many of the Griffini people there were originally
The descendants of criminals also committed many crimes."
Michelson smiled bitterly and drank tea.
Lu Ming looked at him and said: "I will help you in the general election the year after next. In addition, if you lose the election, you can go and live in Montenegro."
Judging from the results of the investigation of Michelson and Li Hanchao, if I had to choose between the two, I would rather choose Michelson.
Not to mention the secret investigation, as far as their campaign strategy is concerned, Li Hanchao manipulated ethnic antagonisms and labeled everything done by his predecessor as wrong, including the Roswell project introduced by Michelson. Li Hanchao also wanted to eliminate it quickly.
This involves one's own interests and even threatens one's long-term goals.
I also hope that the day will come as soon as possible when Zhongzhou people will gather in the state and all Zhongzhou people will serve as governors, but it will not be like Li Han Dynasty.
Over there, Michelson was slightly startled when he heard Lu Ming's words. He turned to look at Lu Ming's solemn expression. Michelson nodded lightly: "Thank you!"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Speaking of Li Hanchao, he is from the Justice Party, right? I know many old friends from the Donghai Party Branch of the Justice Party."
Suddenly I thought of Gao Wangling.
The leader of the Beiguan Branch of the Justice Party was once a very scary woman.
I don't know what kind of sense I have towards her, it's very complicated, but I have never changed my mind about sending her to prison with my own hands.
But at the beginning of last year, Gao Wangling was already in jail.
It has been more than a year and a half now.
Still because of the little devil's case, Gao Wangling was prosecuted by the prosecutor. In the end, she was found guilty of obstructing justice and was sentenced to three years in prison.
There is no crime of cover-up in the laws of the East China Sea. If a relative commits a crime, the relative has the right to conceal the crime. That is to say, from a legal perspective, we must pay attention to human nature and believe that concealing relatives does not violate the law.
Even if you clearly know that your relative has committed a crime, you do not need to provide any evidence to the police and prosecutors.
However, you cannot randomly fabricate false testimony to exonerate your loved ones.
That would obstruct justice.
Gao Wangling was believed to have given a false confession when the prosecutor was investigating the little devil, and was thus convicted.
I deliberately didn't care about this case, and I was really too busy at the time, as the war in the Northern Territory was going on.
Whether it was revenge from Bucklo's relatives or friends, he didn't know yet.
Because Gao Wangling deserved it.
But if you think about it carefully, if it was the revenge of Bucklow's former political allies, then Gao Wangling was imprisoned, and he was also implicated.
After all, Gao Wangling, who was the original Beiguan Municipal Committee, was like a mad dog he raised, and kept baring his teeth at Bucklow.
Bucklo's old past couldn't help him, and he used her as a vent.
"General Lu, there's one minute left, we're about to enter!" Michelson's words changed Lu Ming's thoughts.
Lu Ming stood up with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"
…
From October 9 to 11, 1953, the second summit meeting of the Eastern Economic Alliance was held in the East China Sea, and the meeting issued the "East China Sea Declaration".
The main content of the "Declaration" is that the Alliance will maintain and promote peace, security and stability in the Empire and further strengthen peace-oriented values; enhance regional vitality by strengthening political, security, economic and socio-cultural cooperation; ensure that Alliance citizens live in a
In an environment of justice, rule of law and freedom; establish a stable, prosperous, highly competitive and integrated common market and manufacturing base, and realize the free flow of goods, services, investment, personnel and capital; based on the principle of comprehensive security, all kinds of
respond effectively to various forms of threats, cross-border crimes and cross-border challenges, etc.
At the same time, the alliance has established a secretariat to coordinate the unanimous actions of alliance members. The secretary-general will be nominated by Charles IX, the guardian of the alliance, and will be voted by representatives of all alliance members.
The alliance also signed the "Eastern Regional Alliance Collective Security Treaty", whose main contents include that when any alliance member is attacked by an armed attack, it should be regarded as an attack on all members of the Eastern Alliance.
However, the proposal to establish a supreme headquarters of the alliance's military forces in the East China Sea to coordinate armed forces operations within the territory of alliance members was ultimately shelved because of too much controversy.
…
Ferrie Valley Women's Prison is the only women's prison in Donghai. It is located in Ferrie City, a satellite town of Donghai. There are about seven to eight hundred female prisoners in the prison, which is also the entire female prison population in Donghai. Nowadays, especially in Donghai, women
It is rare to commit a felony that requires imprisonment. There are tens of millions of people in Donghai urban area and satellite towns, and the population of women's prisons is less than one ten thousandth.
There are nearly 10,000 prisoners serving sentences in men's prisons, which is close to one thousandth of the prison population.
For those who don’t pay attention to this information, it’s actually scary to think about it. Out of a thousand people, one person will be imprisoned for committing a crime.
In fact, Lu Ming, who studied law, naturally knew that the prison population ratio in the East China Sea was actually very good. It was lower than his own country in his previous life, and much lower than that of a large Western country in his previous life.
Now Lu Ming is sitting quietly in the visiting room of the Ferret Valley Women's Prison.
Today, the 11th, is prison visitation day, and the visitation room is full of people.
In fact, if you want to visit the prison today, you must apply at least a few days in advance.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, came directly after attending the meeting. However, he was very talkative, took a lawyer's certificate, and bluffed the female warden into stunned silence. Finally, special approval was granted to Lu Ming to attend 18 o'clock, which was the last batch.
of prison visits.
Today's visiting rooms do not have glass partitions like those in the past. They are just small tables. Visitors and prisoners sit opposite each other, but it is strictly forbidden to transfer anything.
The tall female prison guards around looked at these visitors with great vigilance.
Most of the visitors to the prison were close relatives of the prisoners, and they all craned their necks and looked up in anticipation.
Finally, the small door over there was opened, and the female prisoners in prison uniforms filed in.
There were visitors to the prison who had already started sobbing softly.
Lu Ming looked at Mrs. Gao Wang who slowly walked over and sat in front of him, feeling a little stunned for a moment.
Wearing a gray prison uniform, and obviously no makeup is allowed inside, her face is haggard, her hair has been cut short and a little dry, and she is completely different from the elegant and noble young woman who wore a cheongsam in the past.
But Mrs. Gao Wang had a happy smile on her face, "I knew you would come!"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would be the only one who could visit the prison. Otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble!"
Mrs. Gao Wang chuckled: "How could I not write about you?"
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "I came here to ask Li Hanchao, are you familiar with him? A colleague of yours in the party."
Gao Wang thought for a while, "Is that Li Hanchao from Ayton State?" He pursed his lips and smiled: "You want to investigate a person. You should know much more about him now than I do. Are you really here for him?"
Lu Ming smiled: "It seems that you are in good spirits, and you still like fantasy so much."
"Of course, I'm in there now, eating well, sleeping well, knitting every day, and living a fulfilling life." Gao Wang smiled and glanced at Lu Ming, "Congratulations, and you shouldn't be playing in the Eastern League today.
summit?”
Lu Ming smiled: "You are still so well-informed."
"There are newspapers to read inside." Mrs. Gao Wang always had a smile on her face. It seemed that she was really happy.
Lu Ming felt slightly apologetic for a moment, but he still wanted to continue the topic, "Did Li Qinghe, the whip of the Ayton State Justice Party, have a good relationship with Mr. Gao?"
Gao Wangshi smiled and said: "That is all in the past, who will care about me now?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I originally thought that with your ability, it would be easy to control things outside even in prison, but it seems that I was wrong."
"I want to live a simpler life in the future." Gao Wangshi smiled, still staring at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "I bought you some fruits, delicious food, and daily necessities. They shouldn't dare to deduct it. They will give it to you after checking back." He stood up and said, "I'm leaving!"
Mrs. Gao Wang nodded slightly: "I wish you better and better, and thank you!"
Lu Ming stood up and walked out of the visiting room, but he could feel that Mrs. Gao Wang was looking at his back.
There is a long corridor outside, and a small square separated by barbed wire next to it should be the place where the prisoners go for daily exercise. However, today is the day of prison visitation and it is evening. There are no prisoners in the small square, but there are a few female prison guards walking around.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One of them was very tall and walked over quickly.
Lu Ming didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly he was startled. The female prison guard came closer and closer. It turned out to be the warden who was speechless after being refuted by him more than an hour ago. His name was Judy. For some reason, the prison guard liked to wear green.
He is very tall. He should be over 1.9 meters and almost 2 meters tall. He is half a head taller than himself. In addition, his sturdy figure makes him feel oppressive. His appearance is quite good. He is said to have good looks. But according to his current appearance
Aesthetics can be said to be good, and those with a score of 70 or above are definitely considered beauties in the eyes of ordinary people.
Yes, someone who became a prison warden in his twenties must have his own merits. Sometimes, appearance is also a particularly advantageous weapon.
Lu Ming stopped when he saw that she was coming in the direction she wanted to talk to him.
"It turns out you are General Lu!" Different from the frustrated and angry gritted teeth more than an hour ago, the female warden was arrogant at first and respectful at the end, with a smile on her face.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's me."
Judy's smile was even brighter. More than an hour ago, her nose was not a nose, but her face was not a face, and her nostrils were pointed upwards.
"Mary has told me about you a long time ago, but I don't care much about politics. But when I met someone like you, General Lu, for the first time, I suddenly remembered Mary's words. I called Mary just now to confirm your identity with Mary."
Lu Ming smiled: "Oh, you are Mary's good friend."
A girl like Mary Neptune is afraid of being divided among others, and Judy is probably the same.
Of course, this is their own sexual concept, and I will not despise them with double standards, because if men and women are truly equal, there will be no essential difference between me and them.
Moreover, he cannot tolerate his woman being unfaithful to him. From a certain perspective, he is even worse than the two of them.
After thinking about it randomly, Lu Ming said: "Mary has been promoted to lieutenant colonel now? She left the military academy and returned to the naval headquarters, right?"
"Yes!" Judy looked at the barbed wire fence that separated the two of them and said, "General Lu, go to my office. I will apologize to you!" She gestured and shouted, "Come here and open the door." She pointed to Lu Ming not far away.
"There is a small door there, you can come in."
Lu Ming nodded: "There's no need to apologize. It just so happens that my friend is serving her sentence here. I want to hear about her situation."
That's okay, I originally wanted to say hello to this side and take more care of the Gao Wang family, at least, don't be bullied in there.
…
In the administrative building on the second floor, Lu Ming followed Judy to her office on the second floor.
"General Lu, Gao Wangling is your friend, right? She is not in good health, why don't you help her get medical parole?"
As soon as Lu Ming sat down, Judy enthusiastically gave him a cup of coffee and asked with a smile.
Lu Ming glanced at her, wondering if what she said about "not being in good health" was true, or if she was trying to create conditions for himself.
"Anyway, at the beginning of next year, after completing her two-year sentence and one-third of her sentence remaining, can she apply for parole?" Lu Ming asked.
Judy nodded, "Of course, she has always performed well and should be eligible for parole, but it still depends on the review results of the parole board."
Lu Ming picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, sighing in his heart. In fact, what about the legal system in the East China Sea? With his current status and resources, it would not be difficult to fish out Wang Gao on medical parole.
.
Of course, I am at the top of the class. Compared with some systems where you can do whatever you want with a little power, it may be a little better.
After all, ordinary people cannot feel their own privileges. All ordinary people come into contact with are the lowest-level officials in power. Such group corruption is a painful experience that ordinary citizens may encounter.
Moreover, if I were still a pure political figure in the East China Sea, my political opponents, such as those who sent Gao Wangling in, would take the opportunity to expose all kinds of shady stories.
Or maybe some reporters are interested in this matter, and they must break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
You will be in trouble yourself.
But as it happens, he is a warlord outside the East China Sea and has a special status in the East China Sea, so he is not afraid of this.
It's just that if this is the case, Judy will be in bad luck.
"Let's wait until the parole period." Lu Ming shook the coffee in the cup, "But during this period, I have to ask you to take more care of her." After thinking about it, "Help me arrange for her to be sent to Renai Hospital for a comprehensive physical examination tomorrow.
If your physical condition is really bad, just follow the procedure."
"Okay, I understand!" Judy smiled slightly, and moved closer to Lu Ming with her tall and oppressive body sitting on the sofa. She chuckled and said, "General Lu, do you have any plans for dinner?" She held her hands carefully.
He placed it on Lu Ming's thigh and slowly made circles with his fingers.
Lu Ming was helpless. This guy had probably never eaten the Oriental Dictator's Deluxe Meal. He wanted to try something new. It would be her bragging rights in their small circle in the future.
He took out his checkbook, wrote a check for 10,000 yuan and sent it over, "I don't have time, go and eat by yourself! Eat something delicious, I'll treat you to it."
Judy was stunned when she looked at the check, her pupils shrank, and her breathing became rapid.
Lu Ming stood up and walked out.
She was not asked to do anything beyond her authority at all. What this check represented was a serious inequality in status between the two.
Ten thousand yuan will crush your personality and self-esteem, and you are not worthy of what you think.
Moreover, I don’t dare to take it for fear of you, and I have to send it back obediently later.
