Blackstone Code

Since some Gefra nobles stayed in the Federation, afternoon tea culture has gradually become popular among some groups.琐

It is obvious to all that the people of the Federation, especially the middle and high-level people of the Federation, favor "aristocratic culture". They are obsessed with adjusting themselves to the same level as the aristocrats and enjoying the lives of the aristocrats.

Mr. President is also a lover of Gevra’s aristocratic culture.

For young children, their understanding of the relationship between the Federation and Gefra may still remain at the point of "two independent and sovereign countries."

But for the older generation, Gefra is the place where their bloodline was born, at least for most of them.

Almost all of the first people to arrive in the Federation were from Gefra, gold diggers, and exiles.

Before the Federation formed the concept of an independent sovereign state, they were all Gefra people and now live in the Byler area.

Therefore, the older generation actually does not have that strong sense of belonging to the Federation.琐

However, in recent decades, as the Federation's national strength has begun to increase rapidly, coupled with the advantages of the Federation's culture in spreading, young people have regarded the Federation and Gaevra as two independent entities, rather than confusing them.

The ancestor of Mr. President also came from Gefra. Of course, he was not a noble, but a soldier.

Responsible for escorting the exiles to this wild land, these soldiers later discovered business opportunities here.

When they were far away from the mainland of Gefra, they, the soldiers at the bottom of the Gefra Empire, transformed here into the upper echelons of society.

They don't want to go back.

These old people will have a sincere love for Gaevra's culture, especially the aristocratic culture.

Mr. President usually enjoys his afternoon tea time. He will order a cup of Federal coffee, then a fruit chocolate burrito, then a cigarette and a book.琐

There couldn't be a more pleasant afternoon!

But this afternoon, Mr. President’s afternoon tea was not so pleasant.

The coffee was already a little cold, and most of it was still undrinked.

The fruit chocolate burrito was also untouched and was placed quietly on the plate. Some of the banana pieces rolled in the middle looked a little black and oxidized.

The book has not been touched, but the cigarettes have been smoked, and more than one.

The one he held in his hand was already the third one.

This is not to say that he changed the structure of afternoon tea, it was just something to worry about.琐

He had previously thought about forming a closer relationship with the military. Even if he no longer had the chance, he still had children.

The children still have a long way to go. If they have a good relationship with the military, his children may not be able to challenge the presidential throne.

But now public opinion has changed so quickly that he has to spend a lot of time reading newspapers and asking for news every day to keep up.

Peleus's father just called him, hoping that he could support the federal military sex scandal case to be heard by a military court.

A military court trial will naturally favor the defendant.

The legal provisions used in military courts do not include some expanded laws, only military law and basic law.

This will give you a lot of room to operate, and maybe some high-level officers can be saved.琐

However, public opinion, including Gianna herself, believes that the case should be tried in federal court so that they can get the results they deserve instead of escaping punishment.

Both sides are fighting, and in the end who can make the final decision, then it must be the president himself.

So Peleus's father called early in the morning, hoping that the presidential palace could cooperate with the military's internal affairs and let the military court take over the remaining trial work.

Peleus's father also proposed that some local laws other than the Basic Law or bills and amendments added later were not applicable to the current problems.

And it’s an implicit gesture to remember Mr. President’s helping hand in their time of need.

It may not be that there is none, there is definitely no shortage of inducements.

This makes the president hesitate, because he actually knows very well that once he really makes a decision that is beneficial to the military, he will completely deviate from society's expectations.琐

For the entire society, it does not matter whether good people are compensated or not. What is important is that bad people must be punished.

If he goes against the mainstream ideas of society, he and his family will be abandoned by public opinion.

The people at the bottom are an extremely complex force to the gentlemen at the top.

No one cares about them when they're loose and scattered.

But when they become one, even the president has to consider the gains and losses.

Does it offend the military or public opinion?

He took a long puff of cigarette in annoyance, regretting telling Peleus Mr. Trueman's letter, otherwise he wouldn't be needed to make a decision now.琐

In five months, he could temporarily retire, and he never thought about leaving with trouble.

Just as he was hesitating, the phone rang again.

He cursed a few times and picked up the phone.

There was no incoming call reminder at this time, and he had no idea who the phone was ringing for.

To be able to bypass the secretariat and make direct calls, he is definitely not an ordinary little person.

"This is the presidential palace..." He had to pick up the phone, and then a very familiar voice came from the phone.

It was Lynch calling.琐

"I heard that people from the military talked to you?"

"About the matters these people handed over to the other side for trial." Lynch asked very straightforwardly, without hiding anything.

Mr. President could only nod, "They hope that I can have the case heard in a military court..."

Lynch interrupted, "What benefits did they give you?"

It was still so direct, which made Mr. President a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"A favor."

Mr. President intends to tell the truth.琐

It's hard to say whether the military's favor will have a chance to be used, but Lynch can directly influence him.

Lynch gave him a piece of advice, "If I were you, I wouldn't take what those people in the military tell you seriously."

"This case will be handed over to the Supreme Court. When the time comes, several more lifelong justices will be sent to try it together. We must let the light of the law shine into the shadow of evil!"

Mr. President was silent for a while and finally agreed.

He weighed it again and again, and it was obviously more terrible to offend Lynch than to offend the military.

With Lynch's intervention, the Presidential Palace soon announced that the First Tribunal of the Federal Supreme Court would take over the trial of the federal military sex scandal case.

At the same time, the Presidential Palace signed an executive order, and five lifelong justices participated in the trial.琐

This is obviously to nail the military personnel to the pillar of shame!

Public opinion immediately received very positive feedback, and Mr. President also decisively harvested a wave of public opinion——

His son participated in a political talk show on his behalf, and said on the show that being a soldier is just an identity, not a talisman to avoid legal risks.

No matter who they are, a third-class private or a general, after removing this layer of identity, they are citizens of the Federation.

Moreover, Gianna and some of the victim girls are no longer members of the military, so for the sake of fairness, it is obviously necessary for the Federal Supreme Court to finally hear this case.

The son of Mr. President also said that respecting each other and having the courage to face mistakes and the law is the most correct attitude after making mistakes!

This makes the people have a better impression of the president's son, who has a weak sense of existence and doesn't know much about him...

After the presidential palace's statement was issued, the first court session was scheduled for Monday next week. Everyone was looking forward to it and very nervous.

In the evening, Randa and Gianna invited other victims to a gathering where they discussed some coping strategies.

In addition to them, there is also one of the three major law firms, a team of lawyers specializing in criminal cases.

"...After the trial, their lawyers, including prosecutors, will ask some potentially harsh questions. I need you to be mentally prepared."

"Our enemies are dangerous and powerful. They represent the highest military force in the federation, so even if we win a lawsuit against them in ordinary courts, we cannot let down our guard."

"They're going to try to use some terrible questions to break you down, and that's what worries me the most."

Landa was confused. "Mr. Lawyer, why don't you give more details? I believe the girls also need more professional help from you."

The barrister pushed up his glasses, "It's a little hard to speak..." He paused before continuing, "For example, they will ask you to recount the process of one or many times you were violated."

"They will ask about the detailed process, from the dirty words they used, the order in which they touched you, and how they forced you to have sex."

"Their purpose is actually very simple, which is to make you emotionally collapse and unable to face what happened."

"As long as your emotions break down, they will have the opportunity to continue dragging you down, and even ask the court not to accept your testimony on the grounds that your mental state is not suitable to testify in court!"

"These people will be despicable and expose your scars again and again, and this time I got a message..."

The lawyer's eyes swept over the faces of these victims one by one, "They will ask for the trial to be broadcast live. In other words..."

Some girls have turned pale, and having them retell the process of being violated more than once in front of the entire federation and even the world is enough to make them collapse!琐

If they recount what happened, how will they face their new life, family, and friends in the future?

People all over the world know that they were violated multiple times, and they also know the detailed process of the violation!

Just hearing this is enough to make people collapse.

The lawyer pursed his lips, "And you have to be mentally prepared, because some image evidence will be shown in court, and you may even be asked to show it directly..."
