Chapter 828 This Is Politics
Dragging his tired body back home, Ryders breathed a sigh of relief. It is easy to fool people, but it is not so easy to fool a group of old fried dough sticks.
Given the choice, Ryders would never take the tough job, even if he had access to a wider network.
The more he understands, the more Ryders understands the cruelty of this circle. Aristocrats also need competition, and empty aristocrats without power, wealth, or fiefs are actually like that.
Of course, even an empty aristocrat, as long as he puts it down, will still be better off than 99% of ordinary people.
Generally speaking, as long as you give up the bottom line, it is very simple to get rich. For example: run and marry the nouveau riche.
As long as there is a hereditary title recognized by the mainstream society, the nouveau riche in America will flock to them, sending houses, cars, and tickets, which is simply not too comfortable.
In fact, Ryders is also a member of the aristocratic aristocracy, otherwise he would not act as a link in the power and money transaction.
But any aristocrat with a little background would not do such dirty work. It seems that they are very profitable, and they can also gain a lot of personal connections. In fact, this also isolates them from the upper class.
No matter how good the relationship is on the surface, the identity of the "white glove" has already determined that everyone is from a different world.
In the event of a change and danger, an existence like Ryders may become an abandoned child at any time.
Compared with the gangsters hiding behind the scenes, Ryders is the most nervous. Once the arrested Jewish capitalist opened his mouth, he would not know if the big guy behind him had anything to do with it, but Ryders would never be able to run away.
The housekeeper reminded: "Baron, someone sent a secret letter this afternoon, and repeatedly asked that it must be handed over to you. It is said that the content inside is very important."
He took the secret letter and checked it again to make sure that there were no signs of unpacking before Ryders opened it.
After a while, Ryders asked cautiously, "Come on, do you have anything else to say?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "No. The person who came here seemed very nervous. After putting down the letter and explaining it several times, he left immediately.
By the way, when he left, he was in a gray car, and he should be rich. "
There are not so many famous brands these days, and the clothing industry is still popular. Without in-depth research, it is difficult to identify them at a glance.
The best way to judge a person's economic situation is to look at public transportation. It is definitely not an ordinary person who can afford a car that can drive thousands or even tens of thousands of Aegis.
Ryders nodded, and there were more wrinkles on his forehead. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "Prepare the car, I'm going out."
There is no way, the content of the letter is too amazing. Although there was no direct threat, the "I'm done, I'm going to drag you into the water" still showed.
Although the Jewish capitalists were imprisoned, the backhands of these people who remained outside were not all cut off.
No one knows whether these backers have the handle of their "power and money transactions". If there are these things, Ryders will be dead if they are stabbed out.
Since the big guys behind the scenes can silence the capitalists in prison, they can also kill him as a middleman.
In fact, Ryders is able to live to this day, and his ancestral titles of nobility are also very important.
After all, killing him would attract the attention of the Austrian government, while also breaking the rules of the game in aristocratic circles. Otherwise, Ryders would have been silenced long ago.
...
The Vienna Palace, the undercurrent in the country, did not hide from Franz's eyes and ears.
Perhaps three or five corrupt officials cannot attract the attention of the intelligence department, but how could there not be a few spies in such a large group of Jewish people?
The ability to wipe out the illegal Jewish capital group this time is the best proof. Including the split of the Jewish group in Austria, the intelligence services are indispensable.
Looking at the information in his hand, Franz's face was gloomy and terrifying. If it weren't for the evidence in front of him, he really couldn't believe that Jewish capital could reach the top of the government.
Franz, who was originally going to open the door, has now changed his mind. For the long-term stability of the empire, it is better to solve the problem once and for all.
"I don't know if I don't check, but I found out that there are so many worms in the empire. In view of the current special situation, I decided to form a special task force.
With the Deputy Finance Minister Earl Waiters as the team leader, the Anti-Corruption Bureau Internal Affairs Director Paul Bodis and the Police Department Deputy Minister Alberti as the deputy team leaders, thoroughly investigate these lawless capitalists and the protective umbrellas behind them! "
It is not surprising to set up a task force, but this personnel appointment puzzled everyone, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Mark Leo von Joseph objected: "Your Majesty, we need professionals to investigate the case.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Police Department should be in charge. The deputy finance minister, Earl Waiters, has no experience in this area, so I am afraid that he should be in charge of the work..."
Professional work is done by professionals, which is the consistent policy of the Vienna government, and such cross-border behavior rarely occurs.
If it is another job, even if it is possible to stick with the Ministry of Finance, Mark is willing to fight for opportunities for his subordinates. Anyway, it can expand the voice of the Ministry of Finance.
But this time is different. The Treasury Department reaches out to the judicial system, which is scary to think about. As a political veteran, Mark does not think this is the real will of the emperor.
Franz smiled slightly and handed over the information in his hand: "Look at this information, you know why I made this appointment."
After an instant, Mark's face turned gloomy.
The above-mentioned persons involved in the case are all over Austria's major departments, and they also hold great power, which is simply a "small cabinet".
It can be said that this is a power-money transaction case involving the largest amount, the highest level of persons involved and the most serious consequences in Austria in the past 30 years.
If these data can be determined, the next Vienna government will face a political reshuffle.
It's a pity that these guys didn't end up in this power-money deal in person, and there is no evidence that they colluded with capitalists to make illegal profits.
It is determined that they have power and money transactions, that is because these guys have used their power many times to provide convenience to these capitalists, including artificially suppressing many cases involving them.
These behaviors have essentially acted as a protective umbrella for the underworld forces.
Knowing that, knowing that Austria is a country with the rule of law, and without conclusive evidence, it is impossible for even Franz to take all these officials and convict them.
Of course, not being able to ask about the crime does not mean that there is no way to deal with it. If such a big thing happened, the hat of "malfeasance" can still be deducted.
It's just that it doesn't make any sense. The dereliction of duty did not cause serious consequences. At most, it would not constitute a crime to let these guys go home and bring their grandchildren.
Now Franz has put these guys in charge of the investigation, which is actually fighting fire with fire.
Anyway, the existing charges are enough for those capitalists to go to jail. With so many eyes on the outside world, no matter how much water is released, it is impossible to release these people.
Prisons these days are not easy to squat in. Even if they escape the death penalty, an exile order can also prevent these pampered guys from living.
For example: exiled to icy Alaska to mine gold; or exiled to desert to plant trees; or exiled colony to build railways.
According to incomplete statistics, the average life expectancy of convicts exiled to mine gold mines in Alaska is only 2.7 years, and the average life expectancy of gold mines with harsh climate conditions may be less than three months;
Those responsible for greening the desert have an average lifespan of only 2.6 years, and in some areas the average lifespan is only half a year;
Relatively speaking, criminals who build railways have the longest life expectancy, which will not exceed five years. Generally speaking, people will be abandoned after two or three years.
In addition to the harsh natural conditions, what led to all these disasters was more officials blindly pursuing political achievements, wanting to leave these ghost places quickly, and ignoring the personal safety of criminals.
If you want to go to these ghost places to die, and the one who pushes them to the gate of hell is the guy who made money together in the past, no one will be unbalanced.
In the face of life and death, whether or not to betray these traitors and give themselves a chance to reduce their sentence, it is estimated that normal people know how to choose.
Franz does not have evidence of the crimes of these bureaucrats, which does not mean that there is no evidence in the hands of these capitalists. If these bureaucrats do not want to be unlucky, they can only kill these capitalists first.
How to complete the silence, whether it can be successful or not, these have nothing to do with Franz.
As long as the two gangs fight, no matter who wins or loses, some hidden problems will gradually come to the surface, and then they will be dealt with in accordance with Austrian law.
