my wife is a consul

Chapter 556 Principality
The official residence of the Vice President of Fort North Montenegro.

On the TV, Han Anni was making her closing statement. In the black and white video, Han Anni in a professional dress looked more dignified and beautiful.

This happened three days ago, and now he has the support of Han Renwang. Therefore, on the last day of the trial, Zhu Zhenglong allowed the reporters to take pictures. This is the video recorded by the reporters of Kunlun TV.

For this world, this will also be a very precious image in history in the future.

In front of the jury, Han Anni recounted all the atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou.

Lu Ming listened, and then turned off the TV. Emotionally, he couldn't accept the hell on earth Han Anni described.

This is a TV video tape, it has not yet entered the tape stage, and it is a steel tape record of an iron box.

Three days ago, after Han Anni finished her closing statement, the jury unanimously ruled that Ma Quanyou and 39 senior officers under him had committed crimes against humanity.

Qi Huairen was also convicted of dereliction of duty.

Zhu Zhenglong is still thinking about how Ma Quanyou and others will be sentenced, and the punishment will be announced in three days, that is, tomorrow.

As for Qi Huairen's sentence, he pronounced the sentence on the spot and gave a lot of reasons. In short, although Qi Huairen was convicted by the civil court, he was a military commander who commanded military operations. This court accepts him as the defendant, whether it violates the rules or not needs to be interpreted by the High Court.

Therefore, this court will seal up the files related to Qi Huairen and hand them over to the High Court. It will be decided by the High Court whether to set up another military tribunal or not.

Although the atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou's military officer group were part of a military operation, they were outraged by both people and gods. They massacred civilians and committed crimes against humanity. They were sentenced three days later.

On the side of Richard's legal team, because Richard was suddenly poisoned and the morale of the army was lax, after his request for an extension failed, they used the strategy of collectively absent from the last class to protest, which made the victory of the Montenegro lawyers not so perfect.

He thought that after he returned to the imperial capital, he would blackmail the trial in various ways. However, he should mainly question the procedure of the trial and the death of Richard, which would lead to Montenegro.

On the contrary, they will not pursue the verdict, because in the hinterland of the empire, there is no media ban in northern Xinjiang. The atrocities of Ma Quanyou's department have long been widely reported by Kunlun News Group's TV stations, radio stations, and paper media. Will be on the butcher's side.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming looked at his watch again, and said to the outside: "Prepare the car, go to the airport!"

Han Anni came back today, leaving Moxon to wait for the sentencing results.

This will also be an extremely important scene in the judicial history of this world. For the first time a crime against humanity has occurred, how the punishment will be sent will have far-reaching consequences.

The irony is that such a lawsuit appeared in the lawless place of northern Xinjiang.

As for Judge Zhu Zhenglong, what he was thinking was definitely not the meaning of this lawsuit, but that he had asked experts to give advice on how to measure the sentence.

As for the eastern, central, and western parts of the empire, the judges of countless courts would grit their teeth and feel that this was really a waste of money.

……

The airstrip in Beining is already available, and the special plane to pick up Han Anni and Xue Zihan is flying from Beining to Shengjing, and then from Shengjing to Beiheishanbao.

Originally, Anni Han was supposed to come back tomorrow after hearing the verdict, but Xue Zihan called secretly, saying that Anni Han was not in a stable mood.

In the car, Lu Ming was secretly annoyed, maybe it was wrong to give Han Anni the chance to make a closing statement?
Facing the numerous atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou's troops in Songshan is actually a hellish torment for normal human beings.

No matter how to find a way to present it in front of the whole world, it is even more necessary to put all your heart and soul into it.

I just watched the video tape, and I felt uncomfortable when I heard Han Anni's description, let alone Han Anni herself?

……

The small airport in Beiheishanbao was also built when the Heishan army recovered here, and it is still expanding.

Today’s airports are not maintained in the jet era. In fact, the so-called expansion is to build more concrete runways, aprons, hangars, etc. The construction speed is very fast, and the cost is not as large as the large investment and planning of later generations.

A propeller plane landed lightly on the airport runway, and slowly stopped without sprinting far.

Even a light propeller fighter jet can take off with a runway distance of two or three meters, and it only needs a runway of more than ten meters to cushion if it lands and opens its parachute.

Lu Ming got out of the car and went to meet him.

The two pretty figures who got off the plane were naturally Han Anni and Xue Zihan.

Seeing that Han Anni's expression was not very good, Lu Ming picked them up and got into the car, and the black car went straight to the city.

The High Court of Beiheishan State is located in the original prayer hall of Fengyuan Road. It is a place of prayer built by the original Taoist Yin with people's fat and people's ointment. The five-story cylindrical building with a white dome is very magnificent.

Today, the fourth and fifth floors are the area of ​​the High Court, the third floor is the area of ​​the First Circuit Court of Northern Montenegro, and the first to second floors are the office of the Northern Montenegro Council.

Of course, the current members of Congress are all directly appointed by Lu Ming, and they are selected by lottery in each constituency. The power of the parliament is basically a decoration, and the members are changed every three months. In fact, in essence, it is an enlightenment for representatives of public opinion .

Not far from the High Court, there is an eight-story building, the tallest building in Beiheishanbao, and the only building with elevators.

North Heishan Fort, formerly known as Songshan City, was originally one of the most prosperous cities in Ansan, second only to Ansan Fortress.

But there is only one eight-story building.

Moreover, this was originally one of the modern residences that Qian Daoyin built for himself. Qian Daoyin wanted to try something new and spent a lot of money to build an elevator house like Shengjing. Therefore, it is only eight floors high and has an elevator. .

When the eight-story building was auctioned, it was taken by the representatives of the Prince of Montenegro, and it is now provided free of charge to the residence of judges and staff of the High Court and the First Circuit Court, as well as temporary dormitories for members of Congress during their six-month term.

Lu Ming, Han Anni, and Xue Zihan came to the top floor. The former Daoyin also built the top-floor garden building, and now it has been renovated and decorated.

The terrain in this area is already high, and it is the top floor of the tallest building. Naturally, this top-floor garden apartment has a panoramic view of the mountains.

Only then did Han Anni regain some energy, and followed Lu Ming around each room, as well as the terrace garden outside, the swimming pool, and the tennis court.

"This will be our new home from now on!" Lu Ming smiled and said to Han Anni, "Do you like it?"

Han Anni nodded slightly: "Thank you!"

Lu Ming felt that Annie would definitely not want to live in his vice president's mansion, because of a group of Yingying and Yanyan, that is, concubines in name.

So, simply place her here.

Annie's thank you was naturally because she knew her well, and she had put in a lot of painstaking consideration for the new residence.

"Zihan will live here with me too!" Han Anni said.

Lu Ming nodded, "Okay, Zihan will be your assistant in the future."

"Thank you Sister Annie, thank you Master!" Xue Zihan's eyes were a little joyful. It was naturally his wish to be able to follow the idol. Moreover, he had a lot of conversations with Sister Annie, and he could also learn from her.

Lu Ming thought about it and said, "Annie, on New Year's Day, the Montenegrin Confederation announced the establishment of the Principality of Montenegro. Zhenjiang Province, Montenegro Special Zone, and Northern Montenegro Region will all become part of the Principality. Change to the Dominion, when the time comes, you will be appointed as one of the seven justices of the High Court of the Northern Montenegro Dominion, and Zihan will be your assistant legal officer for the time being!"

"Ah, thank you, master!" Xue Zihan's starry eyes were even more excited and looking forward to a new life.

When I was forced to give "Commissioner Zhang" as my concubine, how could I have imagined that my future life would be more colorful than my fantasy in college?
In fact, the fantasy in college, when exposed to the cold reality, will know that it is just a daydream.

But now, the future real life that beckons to me is ten times, a hundred times more wonderful than that daydream.

Han Anni asked curiously, "The Principality of Montenegro?"

Lu Ming felt relieved and changed the subject. Annie turned her attention as expected, and said with a smile, "Well, it's still a principality under the Kingdom of Gryffinni. I've already informed the First Prince, and he promised very well. happy."

In fact, there is no need for Ms. Windsor to be a lobbyist at all.

"The fiasco of the Berna River" made the first prince ashamed, and he is actively seeking peace.

For the two warring parties, the first prince is the king of the Kingdom of Gryffinni, and the second prince is the king of the Kingdom of Sonia.

The essence of the current war between the two sides is to compete for the position of the emperor of the empire.

As for the throne of the other kingdom, they both knew that it would be very difficult to overthrow it. After all, it would be a war of annihilation.

If they want to fight, the fan groups behind each other will not support each other. Federalism runs in the blood of the empire. If they can coexist in the form of a federation, no one wants to fight with each other. Fight to the death.

But now, because of the disastrous defeat of the Berna River, many autonomous prefectures and provinces that are waiting to see may already be inclined to recognize the second prince as the heir to the emperor.

In the Eastern League, some members proposed to get in touch with the second prince to a certain extent.

And at this time, I want the title of the Principality of Montenegro, not to mention the territory of the Central Continents in the Northern Territory, which is insignificant in the eyes of the eldest prince. Therefore, the Holy Princess and the Prince of Montenegro not only remained loyal to him, but also recognized him as the king of the Kingdom of Griffin, and also supported his claim to continue the imperial throne.

For the eldest prince who is currently at a low point in his life, this support is very important.

I naturally also saw this opportunity and took what I needed.

Lu Ming laughed and said: "After the establishment of the principality, Prince Montenegro will no longer serve as the president of Northern Montenegro, but will naturally become the head of state of the autonomous provinces and dominions within the principality. Montenegro can no longer be a republic. It will become the Dominion of Northern Montenegro. I will serve as the governor and lord sent by the prince, but the rest of the structure will not change. Deng Xingjun will serve as the prime minister of the dominion and form a cabinet. It is good that this cabinet is in line with the original Government Affairs Council Of course, the transformation from a republic to an autonomous dominion requires a vote by the whole people to be legal and stand the test of history."

Han Anni was a little speechless, "Is there another referendum?"

In fact, the people in the Northern Montenegro area today, naturally, vote for whatever result the Prince of Montenegro wants.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Yes, there will be a second referendum within a year, and it doesn't matter if you make a fuss, at least let the citizens and villagers know that everything needs to be voted for, and the votes in their hands are actually very important ,right?"

Han Anni pondered, then nodded silently: "Well, what you said is also correct."
