23. New Beginning (2)

Objection.

The moment he heard the word, Fast, who was complacent in his seat, was stunned, and a commotion of consternation filled the hall.

Even hardcore henchmen like Tyre Good Brunhill could not hide their shock, although they knew that Li Lin had the secret trump card in his hand, and had no doubt that he would win the final victory of the defense, but they never expected that Li Lin, who did not play cards according to the convention, would not hesitate to play the big card that surprised them as soon as he came up.

In civil and economic courts, it is not uncommon to hear the prosecution and defence dissenting themselves before the judge. In litigation involving demolition disputes, the term is used very frequently by both parties. The number and frequency are so high that the judges are on the verge of collapse that the judiciary has an unusual enthusiasm for cultivating and strengthening a professional and funny chengguan demolition team.

At present, it is not a civil litigation court, and no one dares to raise objections at the interrogation hearings, which are held in the council building and in the presence of a large number of citizens and officials.

The Nine Elders of the Council and the Consul Siegfried Otto Lilin, who are the supreme power nucleus of the entire Alfheim and the prosecution and defense, not only had an audience of 2,000 people at the scene, but also sound broadcasting devices broadcast the speeches of both sides in the Great Hall.

[This is too sloppy, what does he want to do?!]

Speaker Ernst Wittelsbach, who sat at the top of the bench, looked at the boy, and from that confident handsome face, the speaker could not find any clues about the answer.

"The consul disputes the accusation?"

In the commotion brought by Li Lin, Patriarch Thierry rarely remained calm.

"We can understand the consul's love for the child, and you can understand Your Excellency's desire to give Roland Dahlke a chance to repent and mend, but the sacred interrogatorial hearing, worldly power cannot interfere with or override the law and the will of the people. His Excellency the Consul should also be aware of this and understand it. ”

"It's nature. ”

Li Lin laughed, and the corners of his mouth showed a curved arc like a blade.

"The dissent is raised at this time precisely to conform to public opinion. Avoid the misinterpretation and misuse of public opinion to harm citizens and innocent children, and harm everyone's Alfheim. ”

Hearing the words "misinterpretation" and "misuse", there was a muttering of biting ears in the venue, and thousands of listeners were biting their ears together. Speaker Wittelsbach frowned.

"Silence!"

The old speaker's solemn shout without anger stopped the commotion, and the eagle's sharp and fierce gaze tightly grasped Li Lin.

"Archon Li Linqing, is Qing Shicai's speech accusing the Council of inciting and abusing public opinion?"

No doubt. That's it.

The members of the army spat out the accusations of Speaker Ernst with disdain, raised their claws and shouted long live in their hearts in favor of Li Lin, who spoke their hearts for them.

The accusation of the Council's behavior is undoubtedly a very serious offense, and Li Lin's words also have a less subtle meaning, and the Speaker's questioning is not groundless.

It's just -- what is public opinion?

Since ancient times, most of the time, the weight of public opinion in the political game has been insignificant and not worth mentioning. When politicians act justifiably in order to show themselves. Public opinion is a good fig leaf, and public opinion is sacrosanct. The people are God, and politicians [have to] respond to the voices and legitimate demands of the people. And when they don't need it, the public opinion that is nothing will be kicked away.

Politicians, especially those who are good at ballot politics, are well aware of this. And it's always been good at taking advantage of that.

For example, a lighthouse state can let the people enjoy [the constitution gives the people the right to defend the sanctity of private property], comply with [the demand of the general public], broadcast the anti-gun ban advertisements of the gun association during prime time, and let the arms giants calmly sell anti-aircraft missiles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, automatic rifles, and shotguns to their citizens...... At the same time, they turn a blind eye to the never-ending shootings and gun ban calls and demonstrations.

For the sake of foreign citizens' persimmon oil cooking, human rights axiom sent troops, military occupation, with endless explosions and guerrilla warfare to build a cooking country, and when the economic crisis broke out, the rich street fat cat continued to enjoy government bailouts, high bonuses, and profit dividends after the company went bankrupt. Ordinary citizens of their own country were outraged by this, and when they took to the streets to launch a demonstration to occupy a certain street, they immediately did not hesitate to use the police and the National Guard to suppress and arrest [violent activists] with the support of [public opinion], and at the same time to make wild statements about the human rights situation in foreign countries.

This is public opinion, a miraculous public opinion that can be distorted and ignored.

The so-called democracy and public opinion have always been a joke, except for some strange groups who are looking forward to overseas every day, waiting for the landing of the [Wang Shi] in order to fulfill the great glorious ideals and sacred obligations that lead the way for the [Wang Shi], and the very stupid and naïve [conscientious youth], who believes that joke?

Truth is only within cannon range - the words of the Marquis Bismarck are always so harsh, but always so true.

Li Lin couldn't see the mocking smile:

"I'm not questioning the conscience of the Council. ”

Unlike the audience with different expressions, the teenager calmly continued to add:

"I believe that all of you here, all the citizens of Alfheim have no ill will in their hearts, and they all want to make the best decisions with integrity and kindness about the parties concerned, our Alfheim, our ideals, and our cause. However, it is not uncommon for misunderstandings and lack of understanding to lead to tragedies that should not have happened. ”

—Hell.is.paved.with.good.intentions "The Road to Hell Begins with Good"

Li Lin almost quoted this aphorism, but he gave up because it was not suitable.

The wrong place, the wrong audience, the wrong speech - terrible.

"Be careful of your words and deeds! Li Linqing! In the face of all kinds of conclusive evidence, do you still want to blindly shield and protect your unscrupulous adopted son?!"

Fast shouted with a flushed face, and at first glance he seemed to be angry at Li Lin's defense, but his voice out of tune because of his excessive excitement revealed his true mood. Fast stood up from his seat. Because he was too excited, he knocked over the chair because of his too big movements. There was a whisper in the audience, and the other members of the council were also staring sideways, until the somewhat embarrassed Speaker Ernst spoke again, and the meeting was allowed to resume again. (To be continued.) )

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: Yesterday's award-winning book friends were [Little Night God], [Lieutenant Colonel Yang Ji Technology], and [Night Sky Without Stars]!, congratulations on the combat effectiveness and performance of the national army...... Everybody gets it......

Niederhogg: Today's question: 1.Where is a certain street that is hated by the people of the United States and launched the Occupy movement? (hint: the financial surface of New York)2.What are some strange groups of people who are looking forward to going overseas every day, waiting for the landing of the [Wang Shi] in order to fulfill the great glorious ideals and sacred obligations that lead the way for the [Wang Shi]?
