Blackstone Code

If Randa hadn't come with a mission, he would have been moved by Jaina.

But the problem is, her task is to get Gianna to stand up, rather than suffer in silence alone.

The world doesn't need the Virgin, it just needs people charging with bayonets one after another.

Randa looked at Gianna and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "You are a strong woman, I know this very well."

"But the reason I came to you today is because there are other people who need you to step up, too."

"What you experienced is not the only one in the military. There are many more similar situations happening."

"Even now, there are still some people who are in the hell you have experienced!"

"They are not as strong as you, and lack the courage you have. They can only bear it silently..."

Landa took a piece of information from the accompanying personnel and gave it to Gianna.

The content of the document was an investigation report on the suicide of a female soldier. This report had actually been shrunk into a file cabinet in the military area and was impossible to appear outside.

But as Lynch's cooperation with the Western Military Region unfolds, some things that Lynch can't touch can also be touched.

The content on the file is very direct, introducing the girl's identity, the time she joined the army, and the training camp of which army she joined in which area.

This girl committed suicide less than four months after joining the army. The photo of her naked body lying on the mortuary bed is also included.

There were many scars on her body, some were cuts, some were cigarette burns, and some skin was even removed.

"These cut skins have some people's names tattooed on them. You should know this very well!" Landa held Gianna's hand tightly.

The latter's body was trembling slightly. She did not nod or answer, but her silent attitude told others that she was indeed like this!

The report states that this twenty-year-old recruit found it difficult to adapt to the high-intensity military training after entering the army and suffered from some mental illnesses.

Some soldiers said that she had yelled hysterically for no reason, and some even said that they saw her hurting herself.

Cut yourself with a knife or burn yourself with a cigarette.

A large number of testimonies pointed to the girl's poor mental condition. In the end, she chose to hang herself in the bathroom with water-soaked underwear.

At this point in the report, it was finally judged to be suicide. The military compensated her family 13,080 yuan, which was a one-time payment based on twenty-four months' salary.

Because she did not die on the battlefield or in the line of duty, she did not even have the opportunity to be buried in a national cemetery draped in the national flag.

"Is she...the same as me?"

Jaina asked.

She actually thought about committing suicide.

That kind of life is really not acceptable to people, but she was afraid of death, so she was lucky enough to survive.

If she had been more courageous, she might have become a symbol in a cold report.

Landa nodded, "Yes, besides her, there are many more girls who have suffered, or are suffering from, these things."

"You know, we agreed to the war, and society and some levels showed less attention to some issues within the military."

"This is a wrong decision and we should correct these mistakes. Someone needs to wake up people who are pretending to sleep with the facts."

"This is not a problem that can be ignored by pretending it does not exist. It is trying to harm or even murder more young lives."

"We need you, Jaina, and they need you too..."

Gianna's mind was a little confused, "I don't know, I don't know if I should do this..."

She thought of many things.

Work, life, the attitude of family members, the goodwill and malice in society, and many things that you may or may not have thought of.

These things all came together to bother her, and they bothered her deeply.

Landa continued to persuade, "If no one comes forward to testify against them, society will not pay attention to this, and they will not have any concerns."

"And don't you want those who have hurt you to get the punishment they deserve?"

"Not just for others, but for yourself?"

Gianna showed a little resistance, "I have to think about it, and I don't know if this is the right thing to do."

"My life is going to be a mess!"

The eyes of the media, public opinion, and the military will all be focused on her, which is terrible for a young woman.

"No, you don't need to worry about this, we will protect you."

“And, we bring in the best medical teams to solve those problems you’re facing.”

"With those tattoos and scars, you will have a new identity and start a new life!"

"I don't mean to force you, you can think about it carefully..."

In the end, Gianna didn't agree on the spot, but said she would think about it.

She is no longer the innocent person she used to be. When she hears some people raising their arms and shouting, her emotions can be aroused by those people.

What she is thinking more about now is herself and her future life.

Offending the military is no joke. Why did she not dare to stand up despite being treated so horribly?

Because she knew very well what kind of people the federal army was. Although they did not often appear in ordinary news reports, it did not mean that they did not exist and lacked ability and influence.

Gianna took a leave of absence because she needed more time to think about it.

Two days later, she called Landa and mentioned her conditions.

"I thought about it carefully and I needed some security," she said.

Landa pressed the record button and said softly, "I'm listening."

"Two hundred thousand federal soles, and then the medical services and new life you mentioned, I have to think about it for myself..."

Landa breathed a sigh of relief, "These are not problems. I will prepare the money for you. When do you plan to face the media?"

Jaina heard that Landa agreed to the request of two hundred thousand, and she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

With 200,000 yuan, even if she still lives alone in the future, she can calmly face various problems when she gets old.

To some extent, she is also a brave woman.

"You choose the time..."

Gianna was willing to cooperate, and soon a large group of people started to take action around her, but it would not be available soon because it would need to cooperate with some operations in Congress.

In mid-to-late March, towards the end of March, some members of Congress submitted some new proposals.

One of these proposals is very interesting. The content of this proposal mentions questions about military discipline.

At present, disciplinary issues in the military are subject to self-examination by each major federal military region. To put it bluntly, it means "I inspect myself."

The proposal believes that this approach is likely to contribute to the corruption problem in the federal military. This is also the first proposal to mention the corruption problem in the military since the founding of the Federation.

Before that, this area was a minefield.

Fortunately, the proposal did not dig into corruption in more detail, but instead shifted people's attention to the Ministry of National Defense.

The proposal states that the Ministry of National Defense should play the role that the Ministry of National Defense should play, and that disciplinary issues should be handled by the Ministry of National Defense instead of wiping the military’s butt all day long and submitting various reports.

The Ministry of National Defense is directly affiliated with the Federal Presidential Office, and its job is actually to coordinate the work between the federal government and the military.

Of course, this does not mean that the Department of Defense is just a simple civilian agency. In fact, it also has a large scale and power. It is just that it is caught between the federal government and the military, and neither the left nor the right stands out.

They cannot interfere with the federal government, and the independence of the military does not allow them to interfere. They can only mobilize various military agencies under their command.

Now this proposal proposes to transfer the disciplinary agency from the military itself to the Ministry of Defense. This is a very bold but feasible proposal.

The expansion of military power also worries Congress——

Congress is worried about everything.

The president is too powerful. For example, during Mr. Trueman's term, Congress was very worried about the uncontrolled expansion of the power of the presidential office.

The army won the battle, but they were worried about the uncontrolled expansion of the military's power.

When the capital movement begins to take hold, they will also worry about whether capitalists will ride on the politicians' heads.

They only have less to worry about when their own power swells.

Many congressmen have privately expressed their approval of this proposal, and the reasons are very good.

Federal integrity agencies are separated from other federal government departments. Although most agencies have their own disciplinary inspection departments, in fact, the federal government has specialized agencies responsible for these matters.

From the "Integrity Committee" of the Senate to the "General Accounting Office" directly under the federal president, including the Prosecutor's Office and the FBI, they all have the qualifications for disciplinary inspections.

It may seem unbelievable that even the FBI belongs to the integrity department, but it is indeed the case.

On the one hand, Congress does not allow the FBI to investigate public officials "without cause", but at the same time, the Department of Justice authorizes the FBI to investigate "suspicious" subjects.

As for who is suspicious and who is not, naturally the president has the final say.

In the words of politicians, the reason why the federal government can maintain a clean and efficient state is because it does a good job in anti-corruption.

The military, however, lacks these anti-corruption measures and means.

There is nothing inherently wrong with strengthening the management and control of the military, so this proposal is likely to be passed.

There are no secrets in Congress, and they are never empty words. The day after the proposal was submitted, both the Ministry of National Defense and the military knew about it.

However, the military and the Ministry of Defense are completely different in their approach to what this proposal represents.

The military was very disgusted, and senior military officials, including Peleus, were disgusted with the federal government's interference in military discipline.

But the Ministry of National Defense thinks this idea is good. At least the Ministry of National Defense is also managed by the integrity department of the federal government, so it is obviously appropriate to let them take care of the corruption problem in the military!

But what they don’t know is that these are just appetizers.
