Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 680 There are talents everywhere

  On a train that runs all the way south

  This is a passenger train from the Red River Valley to Melbourne in the south. It used to pass through Songjiang City for a short time. Lieutenant Colonel Bian Chunsong sat in a spacious soft-sleeping carriage. He was fascinated by the beautiful scenery that was receding outside.

  He was still immersed in the sadness of parting. When seeing off, the reluctant and graceful face of his wife He Pannan came to mind from time to time, and deeply grasped his heart.

  Two years ago, Bian Chunsong got his wish as he married He Pannan, the second lady of the Earls Court, and reached the pinnacle of life. The young couple stayed and flew together. It was like mixing oil in honey, and had an unforgettable time.

  Now that his wife is pregnant with Liujia, first-child birth is a trick for young women. He really doesn’t want to leave at this time!

  But the fate cannot be violated.

  Sighed lightly, Bian Chunsong's eyes became firm again, and a vigorous fighting spirit ignited in his heart. Mr. Taishan was right, and my military must immediately take advantage of it.

  In the heart of every passionate man, there is a dream of making merits and making a career, and he hopes that one day he will leap over the dragon gate and enter the circle of nobles.

  As a dazzling military star, Bian Chunsong’s five-year military experience cannot be replicated.

He is an outstanding graduate of Red River Valley University and a solid scientific and technical personnel. As a member of the Wild Wolf light tank project, he was specially recruited into the army. Because of his unique insights, he was favored by Major General Li Shuanzhu, the commander of the Red First Division. The tank battalion was born into a bright future.

  At the beginning of the war, the tank battalion was equipped with a total of 35 tanks (two spares), and after the victory of the war, only 11 were left, and the loss of officers, soldiers and equipment exceeded 2/3.

  So, there has never been unprovoked success. All of this is a fate.

   But then again, marrying the second lady of the Earl of He Fang, undoubtedly has a huge effect on the development of Bian Chunsong's official career. The promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel is much faster than normal. This potential factor is not enough for outsiders.

   "Sir, you look very young, you really are a young man, I am envious of others." Sitting across from the soft sleeper is a middle-aged businessman surnamed Sheng, who is in his 40s and has a kind face and actively talks to him.

   "Boss Sheng praised it."

"Where, because of business reasons, I have traveled to many places in Australia and met some military commanders, but it is extremely rare to be as young and promising as a commander. You must be at least 35 or over to be a lieutenant colonel. Now, I think this chief is still under thirty, right?"

   "Hehe, it's almost, Boss Sheng has a deep understanding of military affairs!"

   "Simply dabble in, look at what I said, the chief is indeed young and promising, with a boundless future."

  The businessman surnamed Sheng is very good at talking. Two sentences in the three sentences are very pleasant to listen to. Naturally, he is willing to talk a few more words.

  Chatting

  Bian Chunsong learned that the other party is an overseas Chinese businessman in Southeast Asia, named Sheng Shida, a new customer (a kind of Chinese) who runs Chashan on Java Island. The main sales market in recent years is Australia.

  This is no wonder

With the rapid growth of the Chinese community, the demand for tea, porcelain, silk and rare Chinese ancient books has increased sharply. These are commodities that cannot be produced in Australia. They can only be imported in large quantities from the Chinese mainland and the East Indies, which are very large. market.

Not everyone can sit in the soft sleeper of the train. Soldiers must be college officials or above, administrative officials must be above a certain level, and businessmen must be a small number of people who have done a lot of business and are enthusiastic about public welfare, and have received official honors and commendations from the government. Only then can you be eligible to buy soft sleeper tickets, otherwise you will not be able to buy them with money.

  The same is true for foreign businessmen, with more demanding requirements.

In the face of Sheng Shida’s enthusiastic talk, Bian Chunsong coped with each other. He was a member of the tank project research and development team, and he was a very sensitive military security unit. Of course, he would not be compromised. A good word is so coaxing that you can't find North, open your heart to a stranger and talk about everything.

  In a moment

  Bian Chunsong left the soft-sleeping carriage and went into the aisle, took out a cigarette and lit it, and began to enjoy the beauty.

  He is located at the junction of the two carriages, the train is running on the railway, and the fresh air from the outside is blown in from the loosely sealed carriages, which is invigorating.

  Looking out from here, the rolling hills and beautiful rural wooden buildings were quickly thrown back. On the lush green meadows, you can often see a large herd of merino sheep, just like clouds.

  The train has left Zhuhai City and should now enter the Wisconsin area.

  It takes about two days and three nights to get on the train from Songjiang City to the terminal Melbourne. Anyone who has taken the train knows how happy it is to have a soft bed during such a long journey.

  Bian Chunsong stood at the junction of the two carriages, looking back through the glass.

  Behind is a soft-seat carriage. Most of the passengers are drowsy and swinging to the rhythm of the train. After half a day's journey, they have already lost the excitement when they first got on the train.

   Suddenly

Bian Chunsong's eyes flashed with a gleam. He saw a thin young man in the soft-seat compartment taking out a purse from the nap passenger. Behind him, a slightly stronger young man showed a sharp short blade in his arms. , Threatening to shut up the passengers seen on the opposite side.

  The two worked in a tacit understanding of the division of labor. They walked along the soft-seat car all the way forward, and quickly touched five or six purses.

   Seeing this, Bian Chunsong couldn’t help it anymore. He opened the isolation door in the middle of the carriage, kicked the conductor who was dozing off by the door, and said, “Don’t get up and sleep. A thief has entered the soft-seat carriage.”

   "Ah... sir." The train conductor who was kicked awake looked around in a blank expression, and he soon recalled.

   "It is estimated that these two thieves still have accomplices, hurry up...Don't be stunned, go and call someone."

"Oh oh…"

  The conductor responded and left in a hurry.

Perhaps they heard the movement of the carriage here, and the two criminals turned their heads sullenly. They saw an officer in military uniform staring at him from a distance. They could not help but feel a chill on the back of the spine. Step left.

  Want to go...not so easy.

  Bian Chunsong stood in place and smoked a cigarette leisurely, waiting for the arrival of the police. There is only one path on this train. Where can I hide?

  The Criminal Law of the Ocean Kingdom has inherited the British characteristics and is extremely strict. The only difference is that there is no prison, no exile, but all are replaced by hard labor in the mine. As for whether it can survive, it depends on God’s will.

  The crime is slightly punished with whipping. The barbed leather whip is very cruel. When the whip is down, the skin will be cracked. The tortured person will leave a ugly scar like a centipede for life.

  Even if the physique is as strong as an ox, he can't stand 6 whips. If you continue to fight, you will definitely be dead.

  As for criminals with serious crimes, there is nothing to say directly on the gallows and become corpses swaying in the wind.

  Under the severe attack, the gangsters who dared to stand up could not jump up a few times. The folk customs of the Ocean Kingdom are quite simple, the public security is very good, and the people's vigilance is generally low, so they were easily succeeded by the two little thieves.

Bian Chunsong thought about it with his toes and knew that these two little thieves or a brood of thieves must be new immigrants who have just arrived. They have not tasted the powerful rule of the Ocean Kingdom. It feels that it is particularly easy to gather wool here. The road of madness does not look back.

  No longer

The conductor came with four police officers. Since it was so nonsense, Bian Chunsong knew his identity, and led a few police officers to search all the way forward, and soon caught the two young men in the hard-seat carriage. thief.

  After the body search, no stolen goods were found.

  However, the experienced police officer locked the two thieves to the dining car, and then began to torture them to extract a confession.

  As for the evidence is completely unnecessary, it is enough to have a respected chief personally identify the thief.

In the Oceanic Kingdom, when the judges were not enough, the nobles would impose penalties, and the nobles would be penalized by the governors. During the Civil War, thousands of white mobs in New South Wales and Victoria were hanged by the local governors. Penalized.

  The torture of the police officers did not make a **** confession. On the contrary, Bian Chunsong was eye-opening, and he had to admire that there are talents everywhere.

The police used wire to tie the fingers of the two little thieves to the luggage rack under the roof. The shoes were taken off and barefoot, and then they stood facing each other. There was a long and sharp iron tag on the table in the middle. The gadget is an iron tool used to pull coal when the fire is roasting, and it is directly facing the bare belly of the little thief.

  The two little thieves were hung high under the luggage rack with their hands in an awkward posture of bowing. The bare feet underneath must stand on tiptoe, otherwise either the fingers can't stand it or the stomach can't stand it.

  This is because the sharp fire tongs are placed on the table, and the sharp tip is facing the white belly. You must arch your waist to let it pass, otherwise you will pierce your belly at once.

  This position is extremely uncomfortable. The two little thieves can't stand it after only 10 minutes on tiptoe. When the soles of their feet touch the ground, their belly is poked into a blood hole by the fire tongs. The pain is so painful that the ghost cries and screams.

  I’ll ask again at this time, it’s like pour beans from a bamboo tube and usually talk about everything.

  Where is the dirt hidden? How many associates are there in the car? How long have you been in this business, and where have you stolen? Are there any lives on hand?

  It was learned after interrogation;

It turned out that this was a theft gang. There were 7 people in total. There were 5 on the train here. They emigrated with the abacus of going to Australia to make a fortune. They left the immigration counseling camp for more than a month and committed crimes before and after. Three times, this is the fourth time, and it is probably the last time.

  Looking for the criminal law of the Ocean Kingdom, just stealing did not hurt people, nor did the robbery deserve to be guilty of death, but hard labor is a certainty, ranging from three to four years to as many as seven or eight years.

Don't think that such a sentence is lighter. Many criminals belch after they have served in the mines for a year. They eat worse than pigs, do more than cows, get up earlier than chickens, and have no rest throughout the year. .

  To be honest, it’s better to go to the gallows to have a good time.

  You can see the characters engraved crookedly everywhere in the mine; if there is an afterlife, you must be a good person in the next life.

  Under the deterrence of severe penal laws, public security is generally good in large and small towns in the Ocean Kingdom. Extortionists, deliberate troublemakers, petty thefts, and bullying are quite rare. Most of those who dare to do so are doing hard labor in the mines.

  Fortunately, after he came out, he was really a law-abiding citizen than a law-abiding citizen. It was really scary to say that Po Datian would not dare to do bad things anymore.

  More than 90% of those who dare to commit crimes are new immigrants.
