Chapter 1232: Mutual Temptation
As the yellow prison guards said to the black prison guards, from the Durham star system to the Phoenix Empire's power core, they are trying to cover up this matter, suppressing and dividing the voices that are enough to stir up the storm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Interestingly, at this juncture, a sudden news spread like thunder------ the reincarnation of the great god phoenix, His Majesty the Great Sage and Holy Emperor of Heaven woke up in the Leerburn star system after a period of treatment, and now he can walk on the ground.
At the same time, a foreign media bureau in the jurisdiction of the Learburn star system did not know how to transfer the father of the deceased youth from the Durham star system to a relatively safe and secret location for a live interview.
Just as no one knows how they managed to transfer important people without alarming the Durham Stellar System military and police, no one knows how this foreign media bureau broke through the control of the empire and transmitted information to the international community.
The content of the interview is not complicated, mainly focusing on the life history of young people to do some Q&A, but in the last part, the hostess asked a very sharp question, she said: "Old man, do you really believe that the Phoenix Empire will handle this matter impartially, avenge your humiliated and dead son, and demonstrate the sanctity of public law and the dignity of order?" β
The old man told the truth this time, he said: "I never believed that the imperial officials would deal with this unjust case impartially, because there is no fairness and justice in this country, the government has completely lost its credibility, no one believes the nonsense told by the officials and the nobles, and the singing and dancing in the news reports and the peace of the country and the people are just the self-amusement of the nobles and lords." β
"But what about seeing through this? Living in such a country is the greatest misfortune in life, and if you want not to be driven crazy, you can only follow the unspoken rules of society, live freely, and stagger. β
"In order to avenge my son, I can only say with a clear conscience that I believe in the empire and believe in public law, even if there is only a glimmer of hope. At the very least, it can be broadcast on TV programs and online media to attract more people's attention. But if I speak my heart and tell them that I don't believe in the bullshit of the empire at all, the interview can't even pass the review level, and thus lose the opportunity to get more people's attention. β
"I can't hope for the justice of public law, so I can only beg for the sympathy of the world and get the support of public opinion, although this power is really weak, but it is better than me and my paralyzed wife in bed to bear the pain and pressure alone."
"So, for that glimmer of hope, I said what the powerful love to hear and need, but against their own conscience."
"It turns out that the probability of openness, fairness and justice in the public law of the empire is even lower than the probability of a miracle. After all, the child's ashes were scattered into the stinking ditch behind the prison, turned into a stray corpse in space, and could never be buried in the ground, while the group of abusers, the two prison guards, were still alive and well, and the foul language accusing my child of being a traitor was still painted on the partition wall opposite the apartment, which was extremely vivid. β
"I walked to the wall in the middle of the night and tried to wipe away the insults, but to no avail, my head was broken, and the police never gave me any explanation. Every day, my wife witnessed the students who left words and held slogans, and they began to lose their minds, did not sleep at night, covered their heads with quilts during the day, and became afraid of the sun and the light...... I don't know how long she will live, and I don't know how long I can live, so while I still have a breath left, I will say the words that are held in my heart......"
"I know that these words are released by foreign media, and there will be many people in the Phoenix Empire who will call me a traitor and a traitor, and smear me like my son, because incitement to hatred and verbal violence is their usual tactic."
"The child is gone, and my wife and I have lost the motivation and meaning to live. They can put whatever hat they want on me, but this time, no matter what, I won't say any more that believes in the public law of the Empire and believes in the Imperial government. β
After the old man's words were finished, there was no applause, and he couldn't hear the host's comments, and the follow-up thoughts and questions were left to the viewers to grasp by themselves.
The interview was broadcast from Charles Commonwealth and then quickly spread to the Republic of Dorlanx, the Star Alliance, the Silver Eagles, the United Kingdom of Turanks, and the Republic of Date. The Monya, Sulu, Sauron, and Phoenix empires did everything in their power to stop the spread of the footage, and anyone who possessed the footage was condemned as a criminal with treasonous intent and imprisoned.
Choi Eun-ho spoke on behalf of Henrietta, pointing out that this kind of behavior is the literary prison of the new era, and the magnates of Sulu, Monya and other countries are simply lawless, and their actions are full of barbarism and cruelty.
The Federal President of Charles Antoinette and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Dorlanx, Leila, issued an official letter urging the Phoenix Empire to handle the incident in accordance with public law and uphold the rights and dignity of civilians.
The Silver Eagle Regiment and the Star Alliance are in a state of war with the Phoenix Empire, and will not symbolically send official letters urging the enemy country to resolve social incidents, but will only try their best to use the agents who have infiltrated the Phoenix Empire to actively disseminate this interview, just like the Phoenix enemy agents did to the Covenant society in the past, and repay the other in the same way.
Morningstar Casting has been very quiet, and has not used the topic to play and make some big moves. This makes many people puzzled, what happened to Captain Tang, who is anxious for justice and righteousness, has always been nosy, and is good at stabbing the powerful and powerful for the common people, could it be that he has disappeared again?
The Tang side didn't make a big move, Virginia? Alexander made big news. While the Phoenix Empire was trying to block the channels for external information input, His Majesty the Holy Emperor dragged his body from a serious illness and delivered a speech in the official media studio of the Leerburn star system. The judicial system of the Durham Stellar System is required to face up to the chaos at the grassroots level, properly handle what happened in the A-102 Air Prison, investigate the fault of those responsible, severely punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law, and do not show favoritism, partiality, or cover-up, and give an open and transparent answer to the people.
The speech was very general and vague, and did not explicitly accuse anyone or any unit, continuing the previous style of official language and clichΓ©s. However, for those who have been in officialdom for many years and are very sensitive to politics, the above remarks reveal a bit of a lot of information, which can be called a bombshell.
His Majesty's targeted speech on a small social event itself showed a tendency to piggyback on the judicial system of the Durham star system, and demanded how those people should be, and how to do it, indicating that he was very dissatisfied with the way the Durham Star System Governor's Office covered up this matter.
Since Virginia? Since Alexander's awakening, the conservatives, who had been dormant for a long time, ended the process of showing weakness to the enemy and launched a counterattack. Many conservative-controlled domestic media outlets followed suit to convey His Majesty's speech to every corner of the country.
In his speech before he fell unconscious, he revealed that he was inclined to change GE, and now he wakes up and immediately expresses his views on specific social events, which makes many people's eyes light up, as if they see the light of hope, and believe that His Majesty is sincere in improving the political and social environment of the Phoenix Empire.
The Governor of the Durham Star System, Giulias, immediately made a televised speech, asking the judicial system in the territory to raise its own requirements to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again. At the same time, the person in charge of the A-102 Air Prison was ordered to thoroughly investigate the matter and give an explanation to the people.
Ostensibly, Giulias was responding to His Majesty's speech to restart the investigation process. In fact, Giulias's actions were nothing more than a shift of responsibility, placing the task of re-investigating the truth of the incident and the responsibility for past crimes on the head of the A-102 air prison.
There is a good saying, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away". Virginia? Alexander's name can bluff princes, governors, and ministers, but for the petty officials in remote areas, there is little binding force at all, and the person they are responsible for is the local governor, not the central imperial power.
Thorough investigation...... A thorough investigation, since it is a thorough investigation, must be completed carefully, and the careful completion of the means does not let go of any details, which will naturally consume a lot of time.
A week has passed without much progress, and two weeks have passed and the case has still not been closed.
The confessions of the prisoners were inconsistent, and some said that the deceased had angered them by striking them first. Others say that two prison guards forced them to commit violence. Others said that the two prison guards had done nothing, that the young man had a heart disease and died suddenly, and that no one could be blamed.
In short, the investigation has been mired in a quagmire and is struggling.
Didn't His Majesty the Holy Emperor say that he would investigate according to law? Then they will investigate in accordance with public international law, respect the rights of the suspects, refrain from committing atrocities, and give the prisoners enough time to recall the situation.
What happens when people don't get the answers they want? They will only pour out all their resentment on the head of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, saying that he is an incompetent and faint king, and he can't even do this thing.
Bees may be small, but they can be heart-wrenching!
Virginia? What can Alexander do? Replace the prison principal? How to replace it? Who will go up? Local officials are already in a nest of snakes and rats, and if they choose to parachute talents, the result can only be to be stripped of power, return in vain, and even die in vain.
Some scholars, who are well versed in the sinister nature of officialdom, privately lament that it is difficult for a king to be a king. Regardless of Virginia? WHETHER ALEXANDER REALLY WANTS TO IMPROVE THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM, OR HAS OTHER ULTERIOR MOTIVES, IN SHORT, HIS BORROWING OF THE TOPIC HAS MET WITH GREAT RESISTANCE.
IF HE HADN'T FALLEN ILL AND FELL INTO A COMA, THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT NOW THAT THE POLITICAL SITUATION HAS CHANGED A LOT IN MORE THAN A YEAR, IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH GOVERNMENT DECREE WITH THE CURRENT OFFICIAL LIAO SYSTEM THAT IS FULL OF MOUNTAINS AND CORRUPTION.
Virginia? Alexander was so upset with this development that a month and a half later he became furious and issued an order from his hospital bed to assign a special investigation team to the Durham star system to thoroughly investigate what was happening in the A-102 air prison.
Those simple, kind, and simple people feel that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has changed, and from the unattainable image of the emperor in the past, he has become approachable and down-to-earth.
The conspiracy theorists gathered their minds and waited to see what would happen to the Durham star system, and whether the independent investigation team sent by His Majesty the Holy Emperor would be able to complete its mission and give an account to the people.
On the surface, this is an operation similar to the minister's inspection of local grievances, but in fact it is a test of state power by conservatives and radicals.
21 days later, the Durham star system, A-102 Air Prison.
There were two people hanging in the confinement cell, two dead people, not yellow prison guards and black prison guards, the first prisoners to beat the hot-blooded youth. According to the warden, they committed suicide in fear of sin.
The person at the head of the special investigation team was a military colonel in his 40s named A.T. Kearny? Heller. He did not believe the warden's words, and decided to rush to the scene to investigate the truth of the matter, and at the same time send his men to the room where the yellow prison guards and the black prison guards were held to ensure the safety of the two suspects.
However, when he led people into the heart of the prison area, the unexpected happened. An explosion in an air prison area caused a major upheaval, as the security system malfunctioned, and prisoners escaped from their prisons without supervision.
Durham Star System's current Lieutenant Governor Marlowe? Smith was in a very bad mood, so to speak, terrible. By the time he arrived at the A-102 Air Prison with a large number of ships and guards, the situation was completely out of control, the fire was spreading throughout the space facility, and the prisoners who had looted the armory were armed with all kinds of guns, launching a tidal wave of onslaught on the prison guards who were stranded in the prison, desperately trying to seize control of the flight dock.
Since the relationship between the Phoenix Empire and the Covenant has become more and more stiff, Adam? Oliver ordered the closure of trade and transportation lanes in the airspace around the Babylonian star system, Alcaisey. On the surface, the Star Alliance did not take back the management rights of Alcaissi, but for the Phoenix Empire, it no longer makes any sense to occupy Alcais, which is blocked by transportation and trade. Smith and his subordinates left the Covenant as diplomats and returned to the Phoenix Empire.
The Smith family's ancestors were instrumental in the Jupiter Expedition's invasion of the Hillenbuir region, and the first Emperor of the Phoenix Empire awarded a unique Medal of Dedication in recognition of the Smiths' contribution to the Empire.
From this, it can be seen that the position of the Smith family in the Phoenix Empire.
Although the image of the "Pulsatilla" has not been as glorious as it was in the past, the Smith family is still a political force to be reckoned with in the Phoenix Empire.
