The Vice President's official residence in North Montenegro.
On the TV, Annie Han was making her closing argument. The black and white image made Annie Han even more dignified and beautiful in her professional skirt.
This happened three days ago, and now with the support of Han Renwang, Zhu Zhenglong allowed reporters to take pictures on the last day of the trial. This is the image recorded by the Kunlun TV reporter.
For this world, this will also be a very precious image in history.
In front of the jury, Han Anni listed all the atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou.
Lu Ming listened and turned off the TV. He was emotionally unable to accept the hell on earth described by Han Anni.
This is a TV video tape, it has not yet entered the tape stage, and it is a steel tape record of an iron box.
Three days ago, after Han Anni made her closing statement, the jury unanimously ruled that Ma Quanyou and 39 senior officers under his command had committed crimes against humanity.
Qi Huairen was also found guilty of dereliction of duty.
Zhu Zhenglong is still thinking about how to sentence Ma Quanyou and others. The punishment will be announced in three days, that is, tomorrow.
As for Qi Huairen, the verdict was pronounced on the spot and a lot of reasons were given. In short, although Qi Huairen was convicted by the civil court, he was a military commander and commanded military operations. Whether he derelict in duty or not also fell within the norms of military conduct. In fact,
If this court accepts him as a defendant, whether it is a violation of law requires interpretation by the High Court.
Therefore, this court will seal some of the files involving Qi Huairen in this trial and hand them over to the High Court, and wait for the decision of the High Court to decide whether to set up a separate military court or not.
Although the atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou's officer group were part of a military operation, people and gods were outraged. They massacred civilians in large numbers and committed crimes against humanity. They were sentenced three days later.
On the side of Richard's legal team, because Richard was suddenly poisoned, the morale of the army was weakened. After their request for an extension failed, they used the strategy of collectively absenting themselves from the last session to protest, which made the victory of the Montenegrin legal team not so perfect.
I imagine that when he returns to the imperial capital, he will try to make all kinds of noise about the trial. However, he should mainly question the proceedings of the trial, and the death of Richard will lead the finger to Montenegro.
They will not pursue the verdict, because in the hinterland of the empire, there is no media ban in northern Xinjiang. The atrocities of Ma Quanyou's tribe have long been widely reported by the Kunlun News Group's TV stations, radio stations, print media, etc. The people are not
Will side with the butcher.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at his watch again and said to the outside: "Get your car ready and go to the airport!"
Han Anni came back today, leaving Moxon to wait for the sentencing result.
This will also be an extremely important scene in the history of justice in the world. It is the first time a crime against humanity has occurred, and the sentencing will have far-reaching consequences.
The irony is that such a lawsuit appears in the lawless land of Northern Xinjiang.
As for Judge Zhu Zhenglong, what he was thinking was definitely not the meaning of this lawsuit, but that he was asking experts from all over the world for advice on how to impose a sentence.
And many judges in the eastern, central and western parts of the empire will gnash their teeth and feel that this is really a waste of natural resources.
…
The airstrip in Beining is ready for use. The special flight to pick up Han Anni and Xue Zihan is from Beining to Shengjing, and then from Shengjing to Beiheishanbao.
Originally, Han Anni was supposed to come back tomorrow to hear the verdict, but Xue Zihan secretly called and said that Han Anni was emotionally unstable.
In the car, Lu Ming was secretly upset. Maybe it was a mistake to give Han Anni the opportunity to make a closing statement?
Facing the numerous atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou's tribe in Songshan is actually a hellish torment for normal humans.
When you think of a way to present it to the whole world, you have to put all your heart and soul into it.
I just watched the videotape and felt uncomfortable listening to Han Anni's description, not to mention Han Anni herself?
…
The small airport at North Black Mountain Fort was also built when the Montenegrin Army regained control of the area, and is still being expanded.
Today's airports do not need to be maintained in the jet age. In fact, the so-called expansion means building more concrete runways, aprons, hangars, etc. The construction speed is very fast, and the cost is not the big investment and planning of later generations.
A propeller plane landed very lightly on the airport runway and slowly stopped without sprinting far.
Even a light propeller fighter can take off with a runway of two to three meters, and if it lands with a parachute, it only needs a buffer of a runway of more than ten meters.
Lu Ming got out of the car and greeted him.
The two pretty figures who got off the plane were naturally Han Anni and Xue Zihan.
Seeing that Han Anni's face was not very good, Lu Ming picked them up and got into the car, and the black car went straight to the city.
The High Court of Northern Montenegro is located in the original Prayer Hall of Fengyuan Road. It was a prayer place built by the original Taoist priest with minzhimin anointing. The five-story cylindrical building with a white dome is very majestic.
Currently, the fourth and fifth floors are the High Court area, the third floor is the Northern Montenegro First Circuit Court area, and the first to second floors are the offices of the Northern Montenegro Parliament.
Of course, today's members of Congress are all directly appointed by Lu Ming, and Lu Ming draws lots in each constituency. The power of the parliament is basically a decoration, and members are replaced every three months. In fact, it is essentially an enlightenment for representatives of public opinion.
.
Not far from the High Court, there is an eight-story building, which is the tallest building in North Montenegro and the only building with an elevator.
North Black Mountain Fort, also known as the former Songshan City, is one of the most prosperous cities in Ansan, second only to Ansan City.
But there is only one eight-story building.
Moreover, this was originally one of the modern houses built by the former Daoyin for himself. The former Daoyin wanted to try something new and spent huge sums of money to build an elevator-style house like Shengjing. Therefore, it is eight stories high and has an elevator.
.
The eight-story building was snapped up by representatives of the Prince of Montenegro during the auction and is now provided free of charge to judges of the High Court and the First Circuit Court, residences for staff, and temporary dormitories for members of Congress during their six-month term.
Lu Ming, Han Anni, and Xue Zihan came to the top floor. The former Dao Yin also built the top floor garden building, which has now been renovated and decorated.
The terrain in this area is already high, and it is on the top floor of the tallest building. Naturally, this top-floor garden apartment has a panoramic view of the mountains and small hills.
Han Anni felt a little more energetic and followed Lu Ming around the rooms, as well as the terrace garden, swimming pool, and tennis court outside.
"This will be our new home from now on!" Lu Ming said to Han Anni with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Han Anni nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
Lu Ming felt that Anne would definitely not want to live in his vice president's official residence because of a group of Yingying Yanyan, who were the concubines in name only.
So, just put her here.
Anne's thank you was naturally because she knew her well and had put a lot of thought into her new residence.
"Zihan, please live here with me too!" Han Anni said.
Lu Ming nodded, "Okay, Zihan will also be your assistant from now on."
"Thank you, Sister Anni, thank you, Master!" Xue Zihan said with some joy in her eyes. It was natural for her to be able to be with her idol. Moreover, she had many topics to talk to and could learn from her.
Lu Ming thought about it and said: "Annie, on New Year's Day, the Montenegro Confederation announced the establishment of the Principality of Black Mountain. Zhenjiang Province, the Black Mountain Special Zone and the Northern Montenegro Region will become part of the Principality. The Black Mountain Special Zone will be changed to the Black Mountain Fort Autonomous Territory, and Northern Montenegro will also become part of the Principality.
When the time comes, you will be appointed as one of the seven justices of the High Court of the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Territory. Zihan will be your assistant legal officer for the time being!"
"Ah, thank you, sir!" Xue Zihan's starry eyes were even more excited and expectant, looking forward to a new life.
When you were forced to give her to "Commissioner Zhang" as your concubine, how could you have thought that your future life would be much more colorful than your fantasy in college?
In fact, when you come into contact with the cold reality, you will realize that the fantasy you had in college was just a daydream.
But now, the real life in the future that beckons to me is ten times, a hundred times more wonderful than that daydream.
Han Anni asked curiously: "The Principality of Black Mountain Castle?"
Lu Ming felt relieved and changed the topic. As expected, Anne's attention turned around and she said with a smile: "Well, it's still a principality under the rule of the Kingdom of Grifenni. I've already informed the eldest prince, and he promised very much.
happy."
In fact, there is no need for Sister Windsor to be a lobbyist on this matter.
The "disastrous defeat on the Bernard River" made the eldest prince disgraced and he was actively seeking peace.
For both warring parties, the eldest prince is the king of the Kingdom of Grifenni, and the second prince is the king of the Kingdom of Sonia.
The essence of the current war between the two sides is to compete for the position of emperor.
As for the throne of the other kingdom, both of them knew that it would be difficult to overthrow it. After all, it would require a war to destroy the country.
If they want to fight, the groups of supporters behind each other will not support it. Federalism is in the blood of the empire. If they can coexist in the form of a federation, no one of the big aristocrats, the big bourgeoisie, the big conglomerates, etc. want to fight with the other party.
Fight to the death.
And now, because of the fiasco of the Berna River, many autonomous prefectures and provinces that are waiting may be inclined to recognize the second prince as the heir to the emperor.
In the Eastern Alliance, some members have proposed to establish some degree of contact with the second prince.
And at this time, if I want the title of the Principality of Black Mountain Castle, not to mention the territory of the Northern Territory and the people of Central China, which in the eyes of the eldest prince, even in the core area of the empire, I am afraid that everyone will agree, because it is no different.
Therefore, the Holy Princess and the Prince of Montenegro not only remained loyal to him, recognized that he was still the king of the Kingdom of Greyfinni, but also supported his claim to continue the throne of the empire.
For the eldest prince who is currently at a low point in his life, this support is very important.
Naturally, he saw this opportunity and took what he needed.
Anne naturally did not understand these twists and turns. Lu Ming smiled and said: "After the establishment of the Principality, Prince Montenegro will no longer serve as the president of Northern Montenegro, but will naturally become the head of state of the autonomous provinces and autonomous territories within the Principality.
Montenegro can no longer be a republic. It will become the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Territory. I will serve as the governor and lord sent by the prince, but the other structures do not need to change. Deng Xingjun will serve as the prime minister of the autonomous territory and form a cabinet. This cabinet will be in the same line as the original Government Affairs Council.
.Of course, when changing from a republic to an autonomous territory, the whole people still have to vote once before it can be legitimate and stand the test of history."
Han Anni was speechless, "Is there another referendum?"
In fact, the people in the northern Montenegro region naturally vote for whatever result the Prince of Montenegro wants.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yes, there will be a second referendum within a year. It doesn't matter if you go through all the trouble. At least the citizens and villagers can know that everything must be voted for before it counts. The votes in their hands are actually very important.
, right?”
Han Anni thought about it and nodded silently: "Well, you are right."
