Rebirth of the Evil Life

w There are 15 countries in total, and the ones that have voted now are China, Russia, Monaco, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and South Korea. (The opponents are Japan and the United States, and the remaining six countries are Brazil, Slovakia, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan and Sierra Leone.

As long as one of these six countries still votes, this small lawsuit that has caused an uproar will be over, and the Chinese people will win, and Lin Feng will laugh in the background. This is something Owada Hisashi would never allow.

"Who else wants to vote!" Owada Hisashi said in a serious tone, with a threatening look on his face.

Among these 15 countries, all the powerful countries that Japan dare not mess with, or that the other side is not afraid of, have already voted. The remaining six countries are just average. In particular, some countries are in great need of economic assistance from the United States and Japan.

"Okay, no more? Then it's decided. This time, in the case of six [Chinese] businessmen assaulting 'Microsoft' president Yu Furukawa, the vote was eight to seven, ruling that the [Chinese] businessman..." Owada Heng let out a long sigh. It seemed that none of the remaining six countries dared to confront the United States and Japan.

"Wait!" At this time, a voice sounded.

Owada Tsune frowned.

who is it? How dare you touch his brow at this time! This is simply rebellious. Do you want to die?

Huh! Black person! African judge! Judge in Sierra Leone! Damn it, the little African judge actually dares to go against the United States and Japan! Seeking death!

Sierra Leone, information about this African country immediately came to Owada Tsune's mind.

The Republic of Sierra Leone is located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, surrounded by Guinea to the north and east, and bordering Liberia to the southeast. The capital is Freetown. (Taiwan is translated as the Republic of Lion Rock, and mainland China and Hong Kong are translated as the Republic of Sierra Leone.) Rich in minerals, the economy of the Lion Rock Country mainly relies on mining. In particular, the diamond industry plays a large role. The most well-known among them is the blood diamond mined from the Lion Rock Kingdom. Sierra Leone's people have low living standards. Once a source of supply for European slaves, Sierra Leone is now one of the poorest countries in the world. Whether it is purchasing power, health and longevity, or educational level, it ranks among the lowest in the world. Construction is seriously insufficient, and most economic activities collapsed due to the civil war. In January 2002, as the war came to an end, a large amount of foreign aid poured in to help the reconstruction of the Lion Rock Country.

Its total national GDP in 2005 was US$1.8 billion. A country's total annual income is US$1.8 billion, which is not as high as the monthly income of some multinational companies. Such a small country, so weak that it is not as good as a city in Japan, dares to confront the United States and Japan. It’s simply courting death!

"Judge Sierra Leone, I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?" Owada Heng gritted his teeth.

The Sierra Leone judge was so frightened that he couldn't say what he was about to say.

"Yes, Judge Sierra Leone, I hope you will treat your right to vote carefully. You know, you are representing your country and your people are casting this vote!" the American judge said with emphasis.

Judge Sierra Leone seemed to have seen something frightening. His eyes kept scanning Owada Tsune and the American judge. His chest was beating heavily and he was speechless for a long time.

"Okay. Since you have no objection, let's maintain the previous result. This time..." Owada Heng nodded with satisfaction and was ready to announce the result.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted again this time.

"President Xiaowa, Judge Sierra Leone hasn't spoken yet, how can you determine whether he voted or not?" The Chinese judge interrupted Hisashi Owada's speech.

At this critical moment, the representatives of China naturally cannot give up this only hope. Originally, regarding today's situation, [Chinese] judges could only do their best and did not have high expectations for the final outcome. But I never thought that with the unequivocal support of judges from Russia and Monaco, the sentiments of South Korea and Germany, and the clever efforts of France and the United Kingdom, things suddenly took a huge turn, and they actually got 7 votes. And as long as it gets one more vote, this ridiculous little lawsuit can be ended perfectly.

Sierra Leone's vote is naturally the most critical.

"Judge Sierra Leone, although your country is poor and backward, our government has always believed that your country is a country that is modernizing and striving to become a civilized developed country. And the first and most important thing for a civilized country is fair laws. I I believe you will be able to use your vote to represent your country’s determination,” the Chinese judge persuaded.

Judge Sierra Leone nodded and wanted to speak. Ben had made a decision before he came. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan secretly talked to him and told him that Lin Feng was a friend of Africa and that Africans should be sincere when dealing with their friends. So Annan asked him to vote for Lam Fung.

It's just that Sierra Leone is a small country after all. As one of the poorest countries in the world, Sierra Leone's national power is too weak, and he is afraid of offending the United States and Japan. So I have been hesitating. But seeing that so many countries have voted, if he refuses to vote, he may end up offending the African Union, which may be even more disastrous for Sierra Leone. That's why he was ready to vote. Who would have expected that he would become the target of public criticism.

This time I’m panicking!

"Sierra Leone judge, I hope you will vote carefully. As the [Chinese] judge said, Sierra Leone is developing into a civilized and developed country, which not only requires large amounts of financial assistance, but also legal fairness. I hope you will not be forced by some traitors , acted stupidly," Owada Heng said sternly.

"Dean Xiaohe, why are you intimidating the Sierra Leone judge like this? Why don't you let him make his own choice?" the Chinese judge immediately retorted.

"What a joke! Did I threaten him? On the contrary, it was you who threatened him, right?" Owada Heng slammed the table and pointed at the Chinese judge and cursed.

He had to face Russian or Korean judges. Owada Tsune didn't care, but he was not afraid of facing Chinese judges. The officials in this country are all timid and fearful people. He is cautious and timid in doing things. Although he is just banging the table now, I am afraid that if he comes forward and spits on him, the [Chinese] judge will not dare to say anything. The most I can do is protest, protest, and protest again after I go back.

protest? If the protests are effective, then there will be no need for war between the two countries in the future. Just send a few people to deal with the spitting.

"I threatened him! Dean Xiaohe, everyone knows who is threatening whom. Also, the judges in New Zealand, Brazil and other countries have not yet voted. We have to ask clearly one by one!"〖中〗 The national judges showed no sign of weakness.

This time, there was an order from above, requiring him to act accordingly. Don't be afraid of offending people. This is the order given by Mr. Wen. In Mr. Wen’s view, being able to transfer this matter to the International Court of Justice in The Hague is China’s bottom line. If you give in again, you will have crossed the bottom line. People have their own bottom lines, and countries also have their own bottom lines.

Therefore, no matter how many obstructions there are this time, how many people will be offended. We must argue with reason. Of course, Mr. Wen also felt ashamed that he was arguing with reason. Sometimes, arguing with reason is useless. It makes sense to have a big fist.

"Hmph, [Chinese] judge, then let me give up! Brazilian judge, Slovak judge. Mexican judge, Jordanian judge, New Zealand judge, what do you say?" Owada shouted fiercely.

Facing the ferocious-looking Owada Tsune, the judges from these five countries all trembled. Then he decisively expressed his vote against it.

In this way, it is 7 to 7.

Owada Heng cast a sarcastic glance at the [Chinese] judge, and then looked at the Sierra Leone judge.

"Judge Sierra Leone, your last chance, will you vote for or against?" Hisashi Owada screamed.

"Judge Sierra Leone, as long as you make the most just decision in your heart, I will definitely convince the International Monetary Fund to provide an interest-free aid loan to Sierra Leone!" The American judge glanced at the Sierra Leone judge and said with a smile.

Intimidation and inducement? 〖中〗The Chinese judge cursed lowly.

"Judge Sierra Leone, we [China] have always been assisting Africa, and we are assisting African countries with a kind of brotherhood. So, as long as you can make the most [real] choice in your heart, no matter how you vote , we will all assist you with 100 million US dollars.” The Chinese judge also decisively proposed the bargaining chip.

100 million U.S. dollars, which is not much money for China, but it is definitely beyond the scope of his authority. Of course, he is only a judge and has no right to make such a decision. However, when things came to such a critical point, he could only resort to expedient measures. After that, he could only report what happened today to his superiors, who would make the decision.

"Judge from China, are you openly offering bribes?" Owada Heng yelled.

"President Xiaohe, like the American judge, I hope that the Sierra Leone judge will make the most fair and just choice." The Chinese judge did not say anything.

In the past, when [Chinese] officials went out, they were instructed by their superiors to value peace and not to stir up national disputes. That's why he looks weak and easy to bully. But this time, he had Mr. Wen's personal instructions, so he was naturally not afraid of trouble. If little Japanese still wants to bully him, that is delusion.

At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the court. The judges have been in for more than half an hour, but no results have been released yet. How could such a small lawsuit take so long to discuss? This situation is a bit unusual!

"Prosecutor, I think you may lose again this time!" Tom said with a slight smile.

"Tom, don't be proud of yourself. The reason it took so long is because you didn't follow common sense and presented all kinds of evidence in your closing submission. This is a violation of procedure." The prosecutor said with a dark complexion.

Tom shrugged, looking relaxed. There is no express provision in the law that prohibits the presentation of all kinds of evidence during closing submissions. It's just that at this time, the evidence cannot be used as direct evidence. However, it is the jury that ultimately votes, and as long as the jury can be convinced, then everything is fine.

Tom believed that there would be no problem in impressing the jury. The question now is how the countries behind the judges view this matter and how they divide their interests. However, it has been so long and no results have come out, which obviously proves that things did not go as the United States and Japan expected.

"The judge is out!" Finally, Owada Heng came out with 14 judges.

Won! Tom looked happy. It should be obvious from the livid look on Owada Tsune's face that he should win this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so ugly. But Tom still couldn't relax until the final result was announced. After all, anything can happen before it's actually announced.

"Has the jury concluded?" Owada Heng asked through gritted teeth. (To be continued)m
