Chapter 118: The Great Chief (1)
Tannick, like the previous South Africans, is at the top of the entire food chain with white and highly educated mixed-race elites, and Op **, who once studied at Cambridge Law School in England, is a typical defender of the law of the sea, behaving and values more like the white middle class.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the chieftaincy's power to rule in some of the remote provinces of Tannik, and was one of the leading figures in the domestic judicial community who firmly advocated the abolition of the chieftain's power to adjudicate, and he was also a heavyweight figure in the constitutionalist group that called for a constitutional system in Tannik.
For the chiefs of all sizes in the country, Officer Aopu did not have any good feelings, and because he was stopped outside by Zhang Sheng's attendants guarding the manor for more than an hour, Officer Aopu felt that his dignity was offended, and his face was not very good-looking when he was led into the reception room.
Looking at the official Op **, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but feel that Tannick seemed to be relatively stable, but in fact it was much more fragile than he imagined, and if some contradictions intensified and were not controlled, he was afraid that he would fall into a civil war at any time.
In Tannik, there are various political groups, including the constitutionalists who demand the reform of the kingdom's political system and the implementation of a constitutional monarchy, the conservative faction who resolutely upholds the rule of the royal power, the conservative faction who supports the queen and the faction that opposes the queen, the big chiefs who want to restore the supremacy of the chiefs in the past, and the black radical racists who hope to drive out all the whites like South Africa.
In this complex situation, Queen Cypnas has been able to maintain a skillful balance to make this country of tens of millions of people orderly display, and no one can help but admire the queen's political wisdom.
Of course, the allegiance of the Wehrmacht and the Internal Affairs Forces to the Queen is also the foundation of the Queen's rule, the most elite troops of the Wehrmacht are from the eastern region, and most of the soldiers are the subjects of the Queen's tribes.
However, it is difficult to say what the situation will be if the queen passes away, after all, Miss 6 is not the queen's biological flesh and blood.
Thinking about it, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but feel that the future was difficult.
Looking at the dossier presented by the Aopu ** official, Zhang Sheng's thoughts fluctuated, and his mind was not all on the dossier.
In fact, the case in the file is clear, Sheikh Abubakar whipped the thief to death while dealing with a theft. In fact, if both parties in this case were members of their tribesmen, they were afraid of the obscenity of the Abubakar chieftain, and they were afraid that the matter would not be resolved, but the thieves were not from the Abubaka tribe, but also from a cultured immigrant family in the eastern part of the kingdom, and the family of the deceased insisted that the thieves were wronged, and no one took care of the local police station, so they directly hired a lawyer to go to the local court to accuse Abubakar of the crime, and incidentally sue the local police station for inaction.
Seeing that Zhang Sheng turned to the last page of the file, the official said in a stern tone: "This court summoned Abubakar to the court several times to explain the reason, but he turned a deaf ear and regarded the laws of the kingdom as child's play, and asked Your Excellency to deal with it."
Zhang Sheng bowed slightly, rang the bell, and within a minute, the Mary clerk knocked on the door and came in, and Zhang Sheng said, "Call Chief Abubakar and say that I have something to talk to him." ”
Mary bowed slightly, and stepped back again.
Zhang Sheng glanced at the official of Aopu ** and said: "According to the laws of the kingdom, although the chiefs of the Sureno region have some adjudication rights to deal with civil disputes in the territory, criminal cases are strictly forbidden, not to mention the loss of human life, I will definitely deal with this matter properly." ”
Aopu ** official was stunned, I didn't expect Zhang Sheng to say this, I heard that this Chinese chief only knew Her Royal Highness the princess because he had some relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess's biological father, so that Her Royal Highness the princess favored him, and it was rumored that he was just a gentleman with a good skin, but he didn't want to, listening to him today, but he had a certain understanding of the kingdom's legal system, but it was different from the rumors in the outside world.
Zhang Sheng said again: "Now Her Majesty is in poor health, so I think it is advisable to handle domestic affairs safely, especially when it comes to the relationship between the clan and the law, in the north and northwest of the kingdom, this is a very sensitive matter, you and I have to be cautious about this matter, right?"
This is already a bit of a prescience, and it faintly points out the current situation in Tannik's domestic politics.
Op was even more stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Sheng in surprise, it seems that this foreign chief is very familiar with Tannic's domestic affairs, who said that he is just a prince who likes women? He also said that if the princess succeeds to the throne and he becomes a prince, he will be like the husband of the current Queen of England, dozens of lovers and illegitimate children are everywhere, and his private life must be absurd.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Op gradually sat up straight, the resentment in his heart slowly faded, the young man in front of him, is not a simple character, think about it, who is Her Royal Highness the princess? is the person who hopes to slowly change the country's political system to a constitutional monarchy after the princess succeeds to the throne, and has to admire the princess's wisdom and perseverance, how can the husband she chose really be a straw bag?
Zhang Sheng pondered and said: "The public complained about the police station, and he was also a second born in Sureno, and I hope that Your Excellency will handle it with the same caution." ”
While she was talking, Mary turned around, walked in front of Zhang Sheng, leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhang Sheng's ear.
In fact, when Mary entered the room, Zhang Sheng saw the anger flashing in her eyes, but there were outsiders present, and Mary covered it up very well, and Judge Opple didn't notice it. But looking at Mary's expression, Zhang Sheng knew that things must not be going well.
Sure enough, Mary whispered that she had called, and it was someone close to Chief Abubakar who had answered the phone, and after listening to the name of the Great Chief, the other party had been struggling for a few minutes, and then replied that Chief Abubakar had slept and that something would happen tomorrow.
In the system of chieftaincy power with strong barriers, Abubakar's behavior can be said to be very disrespectful, and he did not take the chief in his eyes at all, no wonder Mary was extremely angry
Zhang Sheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Tell Tai Mu Bu to bring someone to invite him, bring my two attendants, and pay attention, only the chief of Abubakar is invited to come alone." "Tai Mu Bu is the commander of Zhang Sheng's armed guards.
The large and small chieftains of Tannik have their own armed forces, the big chiefs are about a thousand, the second-level chiefs are one or two hundred, and the third-level small chieftains are a few dozen.
However, most of these armed forces are nominally under the command of the chief, but in fact they are subordinate to the Inland Affairs Forces of the Kingdom, which cannot be mobilized by the chiefs without the orders of the regional governors of the internal affairs forces.
However, in some areas with strong traditional concepts, some powerful chiefs can command their own guard troops, such as in the Sureno region, where the old nest of the chief of Abubakar has an armed force of more than 300 people, and in terms of staffing, it has also been seriously targeted.
When Mary heard the High Chief order Taimbu to "invite" Abu Baqar, she couldn't help but be stunned, not to mention that it could easily cause a fight, so she said that Taimbu, although he was the commander of the armed guard under the High Chief, but the Great Chief had just taken office for a few days, and he ordered him to carry out this kind of mission, and it was unknown whether Taimbu listened to the order or not.
But there was no way, the order would not change depending on the expression of the Great Chief, and Mary could only swallow the words in her stomach to convey the Great Chief's order.
Because the reception room wanted to highlight the authority of the big chief, Judge Yipu was sitting far away from Zhang Sheng, and he didn't hear what Zhang Sheng was saying to Mary, but Zhang Sheng finished instructing Mary, smiled and said to himself: "Tomorrow morning, you come again, you should be able to see him here." ”
Aopu ** official nodded, and said in his heart that it was naturally good.
Zhang Sheng pondered and said, "I heard that Abubakar and Grand Chief Raidon have a very good relationship, have you heard of it?"
Redden is one of the six chieftains of the kingdom, and his territory is in the northwest of the kingdom, divided into two provinces, which is the most backward and impoverished place in the kingdom.
Redden may not be the most ambitious person in the inheritance of Princess St. Balenge, let alone the mastermind behind it, but he is the first to speak out against it, hoping to bypass the Privy Council system and use the ancient Council of Great Chiefs to decide the next king of the kingdom.
Hearing Zhang Sheng's question, the official was stunned, he also knew that Chief Leiden now had a bad relationship with the royal family, and he also knew that Leiden was eyeing the ruling power of the Sureno region, because Sureno Province bordered his territory, which also created some convenient conditions for him.
But I don't want to, the young chief in front of me has just come to Sureno for a few days, and he knows these things?
Surprised in his heart, Officer Aopu just shook his head slightly, he didn't want to get involved in these things.
