443 True rule of law
The League of Nations Covenant was adopted at the Paris Peace Conference at the end of last month, after 26 amendments. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The League of Nations has five permanent members, namely Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and Japan, and four non-permanent members, which are elected every three years.
The League of Nations includes most of the countries of the world today, with the exception of Germany and Russia......
Not only that, if the Republic of China no longer signed the Treaty of Versailles, then the Republic of China will also be denied to join the League of Nations, and Russia has not joined so far, because the Russian civil war continues, and Russia is not a unified country now, whether it is the Bolsheviks, or the coalition government, or the South Russian armed forces, no one can represent Russia.
As far as Qin Zhiyuan knows, although Wilson is an advocate of the League of Nations, the United States has not joined the League of Nations because the US Congress does not approve it.
Well, the Americans have always done this, and the "Monroe Doctrine" prevails in their Congress, and now they only want to favor North America, and they have no influence on the whole world.
In other words, the Americans are now incapable of touching the whole world, so they are expressing their protest against the colonial system dominated by Britain and France.
Because in the "Treaty of Versailles," the basic principle of "national autonomy," on which the Americans had high hopes, was not reflected in the slightest, and there was still no overseas market for American products, the Americans were very dissatisfied.
Lan Fang was also invited to join the "League of Nations", considering that Britain and Japan are allies in the permanent members, France even intends to make Lan Fang a permanent member to increase the help, but this is firmly opposed by Britain and Japan, and the French can only think about it.
Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about this, to be honest, Qin Zhiyuan is not optimistic about this so-called "League of Nations", think about it, can the "League of Nations" without Germany, Russia, the United States, and the Republic of China still be considered "international"?
Before the World War, the United States and Germany had the highest GDP in the world, while Russia was the most extensive country and the most populous country at the time of the Republic of China.
Without these countries, this "League of Nations" looks like a joke no matter how you look at it.
Of course, although he was skeptical, Qin Zhiyuan didn't need to say it.
After receiving the invitation, Qin Zhiyuan honestly sent people to Paris, preparing to witness the historical moment of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and at the same time preparing to sign a declaration to join the League of Nations.
Speaking of which, the signing of the statement should be done by Qin Zhiyuan in person, but Qin Zhiyuan was not available, from the second day after returning to Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan began to inspect non-stop, from Jinzhou Island to Wanghaizhou, and then to Sulu Island, Zhenghe Island, Longyan Island (Papua Island), and finally Penglai Island, in just half a month, Qin Zhiyuan ran through Lanfang's territory.
This kind of wandering is very necessary, Qin Zhiyuan must need frequent inspections to show his existence, otherwise Qin Zhiyuan has a sense of existence in the hearts of his own people, and he has to put a big question mark, which is not a good sign.
Almost everywhere he went, the first place Qin Zhiyuan went to was the barracks of the garrison, listening to the reports of the military commanders, chatting with the soldiers, listening to the voices of the soldiers, and indeed solving the problems in the lives of the soldiers and their families, which was Qin Zhiyuan's main job.
At the same time, the factories under construction, as well as the existing national farms, the steel mill in Wanghai Prefecture and the oil fields in Daqing, the main focus of the inspection, and the shipyard on Sulu Island is also the focus, which will later produce most of the civilian ships in Lanfang, including container ships.
Well, about this container ship, this will be the main strength of Lanfang Shipping in the future, and the most critical point is that many cargo ships only need to be simply refitted, and they will soon become an aircraft carrier.
The aircraft carriers of the early 20th century did not have much technical content, and they must not be compared with the aircraft carriers of the 21st century.
Freighters built on the island of Sulu will have their own through-deck and cranes, making it easier to convert.
Among the many projects currently under construction in Lanfang, except for the oil fields in Daqing City, they are basically owned by Qin Zhiyuan, such as steel mills and shipyards, which are actually Qin Zhiyuan's industries, and the Lanfang government has the right to collect taxes, but all profits are at Qin Zhiyuan's disposal.
In this regard, Huang Bohan and they had no objection, because in the process of obtaining these machines, the Lanfang government could hardly help much, and all the relationships and funds were borne by Qin Zhiyuan.
Lanfang is a country where the constitution clearly states "respect for private property", and Qin Zhiyuan's ownership of these factories has good reasons both legally and substantively.
It is said that when formulating the Constitution, the Lanfang Cabinet fully took into account the respect for private property and the division of state-owned property.
In Lanfang, all the land is state-owned, even Penglai Island, which has been given to Qin Zhiyuan, strictly speaking, is Lanfang's land, and Qin Zhiyuan has the right to use, but does not have the "complete" right to control.
The meaning of this so-called "complete" domination is a bit complicated, for example, if Qin Zhiyuan looks at Huang Bohan more pleasing to the eye, he can carve out a piece of land on Penglai Island and give it to Huang Bohan to let him build another courtyard, which is okay.
But Qin Zhiyuan can't give the entire Penglai Island to France because of his French nationality, this is not good.
In addition to the land, all kinds of mineral deposits under Lanfang, as well as all kinds of aquatic products and seabed mineral deposits in the sea area belong to Lanfang, and the people of Lanfang can use the land and exploit the mineral deposits after obtaining the consent of the Lanfang government, but they must pay taxes in accordance with the regulations.
You must know that the people who drafted the constitution are all "capitalists", and they attach great importance to private property, so the definition of private property is very strict, but at the same time, once defined, the protection of private property is also very strict.
In Lan Fang, if all the buildings built on the land by residents with the permission of the government are private property and have sacred and inviolable rights, even the government law enforcement agencies are not allowed to break into private homes at will, except after obtaining a search warrant.
Lanfang, because of the mix of Chinese and indigenous people, is generally not forbidden to shoot, if a stranger breaks into the home, Lanfang citizens can shoot him dead on the spot without bearing any legal responsibility.
Of course, all weapons, including knives, can only be kept at home for self-defense, and no one is allowed to take them out of the house, otherwise they will be severely punished by the law.
In Lanfang, the Criminal Law and the Constitution were enacted at about the same time, and they began to be implemented at about the same time.
Regarding the severity of punishment, Lan Fang's regulations are very detailed, from the lowest public security punishment to the highest death penalty, each level has detailed regulations, and Lan Fang's treatment of recidivism is very strict, even if it is theft, if it is the second crime, it will be punished more than ten times the first crime.
At the same time, Lan Fang's characterization of criminal behavior is biased towards punishment and warning, and the characterization of intentional crimes and negligent crimes is extremely strict, and the punishment methods are also very different.
For example, intentional homicide and manslaughter, the punishment for one is shooting, and the punishment for the other is imprisonment.
Another example is drunk driving caused by car accidents and ordinary car accidents, the punishment for drunk drivers is to serve a prison sentence, while ordinary car accidents are only compensation for economic losses.
Well, if it is a drunk driver, whether it caused a car accident or not, then the person concerned will be forced to serve a prison sentence.
In order to enact a law, it is necessary for everyone to know what kind of behavior is a crime and what kind of behavior is not a crime.
To this end, under the pressure of increasing government spending, the Lanfang government has hired thousands of legal propagandists to walk the streets and alleys to publicize the law to Lanfang residents, improve people's legal awareness, and popularize some common illegal acts.
The effect is very obvious, since the official entry into force of the Lanfang "Constitution" for half a year, only 11 criminal cases in Lanfang have triggered the death penalty, and the other cases have been handled in accordance with the "Criminal Law".
Whether they were executed or imprisoned, all the criminals did not object to it and did not file an appeal, which fully proves that the Constitution and the Criminal Code are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Those who are in prison should be careful, if they break the law again, the punishment will be ten times worse than the first offense. If the punishment for the first violation of the law is one year in prison, then if it is a "second entry into the palace", no matter how much is stolen, the starting sentence is ten years.
In Lanfang, if you are in prison, there is no human rights protection, that is to say, you don't have to think about staying in prison in peace, there is no prison in Lanfang where people can serve their sentences seriously, the biggest prison in Lanfang is the mine, and mining is the way for criminals to atone for their crimes.
Of course, there is no pay.
Qin Zhiyuan's purpose is to establish a society governed by the rule of law, and only by fixing it in the form of law and resolutely enforcing it can it deter criminals to the greatest extent.
After all, the law is to be enforced, and for those law enforcement officers, Lan Fang's requirements can be called harsh.
All law enforcement officers must have an understanding of the legal provisions of their department, not to mention that they must be proficient in the legal provisions, but they must not be ignorant of all questions.
At the same time, if law enforcement officers commit crimes, then they should be careful, and the punishment will be equivalent to "two palaces", that is, the first crime of law enforcement officers will be regarded as recidivism and must be dealt with severely.
At the same time, in view of the prevalent "back door" in Chinese society, Lan Fang also has relevant regulations, if it is the use of position to facilitate crime, then in addition to recovering illegal gains, but also to investigate the responsibility of the parties, this degree of investigation, refer to the punishment provisions for theft, because the use of position to facilitate the crime is also theft, they steal the money of the whole society.
At the same time, it is not only the law enforcement officer or administrative staff who need to pay the price, but also the party on the other side will also be punished, and the punishment is equal to that of the law enforcement officer or the administrative staff.
To put it simply, if someone offers a bribe to a law enforcement officer, both the bribe giver and the bribe recipient will be dealt with in accordance with the theft regulations, regardless of the amount of the bribe.
And the intensity of treatment refers to recidivism.
If there is no bribery, but the convenience of the position is used, then it depends on what the facts of the crime are, if it is a project with a cost of 100,000 yuan, then well, this case does not need to be tried, first pay the money to the government, and then all the parties are shot.
Yes, that's it.
If it doesn't make people feel scared, if the cost of crime is not big enough, is it still called the rule of law?
