Chapter 832

With the arrest of one official after another, the original anti-Semitic movement gradually came to an end, and a vigorous anti-corruption campaign was launched instead.

Throughout the dynasties, arresting corrupt officials has been the most popular among the people, and Austria is no exception.

Although there is no direct corruption, the transfer of benefits under the power and money transaction is essentially the same. To be precise, the punishment in Austrian law is the same.

Watching the arrests of big people, the happiest thing is the news media. There are big news every day, and even the sales of newspapers in 1886 have hit a record high.

The people who eat melons are also satisfied, so many stories are staged, and there is something to talk about after dinner.

Even the public officials in the government are satisfied. The sadness of the rabbit and the fox exists, but the enthusiasm for promotion cannot be stopped.

A radish has a pit, the top will not retreat, and the bottom will not go up at all. Get in the way, that's the enemy.

At this stage, the major anti-corruption case initiated by the investigation team has been completely out of control.

One after another, the more people involved, the more people involved, and Franz was stunned.

You must know that the transfer of benefits is much more technical than direct corruption. Ordinary public officials simply cannot afford it. The real involved are officials.

The chief officials of many places have entered, and even the local high-level officials have been taken in a pot, leaving a bunch of grassroots personnel to preside over the work.

Then, the local functional institutions actually functioned normally. Well, it doesn't seem like much compared to the cases of government shutdowns and normal functioning of the country in later generations.

The current international situation is very stable. As long as there is no local chaos, the anti-corruption campaign can continue.

The officials got in, and the bribers couldn't get away. In order to reduce the sentence, reporting is bound to happen.

Unless it is a heinous crime and is sure to be sentenced to death, it is possible to choose to die. Most people have to think about themselves and want to lighten their guilt.

Looking at the ever-increasing number of people involved, Franz was loyal to being able to announce to the outside world that the Austrian government was not anti-Semitic, it was fighting corruption.

There's nothing wrong with that. The number of Jews in prison is only over 40%, less than half, and there is still conclusive evidence of a crime. What is it?

Franz doesn't care, doesn't mean others don't care either. Earl Waiters, who was the client, was frightened. The prison was almost overcrowded, and the case could not come to an end.

In the past month, the Earl of Waiters has been assassinated three times. The assassins were all Jewish. No one knows who the real black hand is.

Anyway, Waiters is a Jew who doesn't believe in leaderless, and he has the ability to carefully plan assassinations again and again.

Not only did he suffer, but even his family members were attacked by thugs. Fortunately, the Vienna police were strong and solved the problem in time.

In the Prime Minister's residence, Earl Waiters complained eagerly: "Prime Minister, everyone is crazy outside, yes, they are a bunch of lunatics!"

Looking at Yuhi's deputy, Prime Minister Carl sighed inwardly. To be honest, he still had some sympathy for Count West.

But if you do something wrong, you will pay the price. This road was chosen by West himself. No matter how many pits there are in front of him, he can only walk through it himself.

"West, calm down, your current state is very wrong. The sky hasn't fallen yet, what are a bunch of lunatics afraid of!"

Chancellor Karl has this confidence that the Austrian bourgeoisie has limited strength, especially in terms of force, which is almost zero.

The so-called influence is nothing but a network of relationships established by transactions of power and money.

However, this kind of network is the most unreliable. The power of the bureaucrats comes from the government, and they can be knocked out of the dust by order.

Anyway, the Austrian government system is perfect, no matter who enters, it can operate normally.

The chief officer goes in, and there are deputy substitutes; the deputy also goes in, and the next level is on top, anyway, according to the administrative level, all the way to substitute.

For example, in several cities in Galicia, ordinary staff are now acting as mayors. Doing things may not work, but maintaining the status quo is enough.

Compulsory education has been going on for so many years, and the Vienna government has no shortage of officials, and no amount of vacancies can be filled quickly.

If there are not enough manpower, it is a big deal. Prime Minister Carl is not worried at all, these guys can make a big mess.

Earl Waiters: "But Prime Minister, they are now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Carl interrupted: "Count, I know what you mean.

It's just that some clowns are too active, and they have interfered with the investigation team's investigation and your normal life.

Rest assured, the police have deployed enough police force to keep you safe. The cabinet has just made a decision to launch a nationwide crackdown.

All thugs will be punished the most severely, including those behind the scenes.

No matter how high or prominent their status is, as long as you can find them out, you don't have to worry about retribution from behind. "

Seemingly insipid, in fact, Prime Minister Carl has been moved to kill. Assassination of government officials is a slap in the face of the Vienna government.

Prime Minister Carl hates these guys who break the rules of the game. Once found out, immortality is also a hundred years of prison, and the special package with entry and exit is kept.

Waiters doesn't want to be retaliated against in the future. The best way is to dig out all the enemies this time, once and for all to avoid future troubles.

It seems simple, but it is a fallacy. Don't look at it now

There are a lot of suspects, and there is real solid evidence, and only a few can be sent to prison.

Neither the capitalists nor the bureaucrats are alone. If they are unlucky, their younger brothers will not be able to escape.

If all the suspects were arrested, the number of people in prison would not have exceeded the 40,000-strong mark.

If there is a fish that slips through the net, it is doomed that the hatred drawn by Waiters and others will not disappear, and revenge will still be inevitable in the future.

After hesitating for a while, Earl West said cruelly: "Prime Minister, there are already conclusive evidence of many criminals. Do you see if you can hand them over to the court for trial first."

Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

There are too many people involved this time, and many people think that the Vienna government will "raise high and fall gently", lacking enough awe.

The best way is of course to start killing people and let these people know with blood: doing the wrong thing will kill people.

After a little thought, Prime Minister Karl nodded: "Then select a group of serious offenders and punish them severely. The number is tentatively set at 1,000."

The fate of a thousand hapless eggs is thus decided, and as a typical example listed to kill chickens and monkeys, they will be dealt with in accordance with the strictest standards stipulated by law.

Hearing this answer, Count Waiters took a deep breath. 1,000 This is almost the total number of criminals executed in Austria last year, and now it is directly in place.

There is no need to doubt, not to mention the selection of a thousand repeat offenders for execution, even if it is 23,000, it is more than enough.

Regardless of what the outside world is concerned about is anti-corruption and anti-Semitism, in fact, the most arrested are the underworld elements.

For no other reason, it is because these scum criminals are the easiest to collect.

Most of the crimes committed by other people are financial. Even if there is a murder case, it is behind the scenes, and these guys are the specific executors.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the Prime Minister, Waiters secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, his role changed quickly, otherwise he would become a chicken that was killed now.

Don't say anything about not killing nobles, if you become the boss of a criminal gang of tens of thousands of people, no matter how prominent your identity is, don't try to run away.

...

The central square of Bukovina is already crowded with people, and countless people who eat melons came to watch the court trial.

The elderly Feld and his party also appeared in the crowd, but compared to the excitement of the surrounding people, Feld and others looked gloomy and terrible.

Today's trial is the famous Mr. Leo Cohen, who may be a scumbag for others, but for them he is a compatriot worthy of respect.

As the charges were confirmed, Feld closed his eyes and said slowly, "Let's go!"

It is impossible to make trouble. Any nation in Europe can make trouble these days, but the Jews cannot.

Being a person with one's tail tucked in between is precarious. If you jump out and do something, you will be giving excuses to the anti-Semitic forces.

Emotionally excited, Osido said unwillingly: "That defense lawyer is an idiot, I want..."

Seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Felder hurriedly reprimanded, "Shut up!"

Whether the defense lawyer is strong or not is secondary, the key is that the evidence is too sufficient, and there are a lot of human and material evidence.

Whether they like it or not, the court found Leo Cohen guilty.

Based on Feld's many years of life experience and from the comments of the people around him, he knew that Leo Cohen had done a lot of bad things.

Ordinary Jews are very low-key, and in daily life, they try to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible, so as not to attract hostility.

Generally, the more arrogant Jews hooked up with the local real power faction. Leo Cohen was very unlucky and was betrayed by his boss.

The evidence that was originally used to break the net has now become the illegal evidence that he framed Austrian officials, attempted to manipulate politics, conspired to subvert...

The evidence he provided can send himself to the guillotine, what else is there to say.

...

Returning to the station, Feilde said earnestly: "Osido, calm down first.

We all regret the matter of Mr. Leo, but we have no way to overturn the police's evidence. In particular, a lot of the evidence was given by Mr. Leo himself.

Presumably you also know what this means. The Austrians are going to take it out for public trial, which means that the charges cannot be overturned.

It's not easy for you to get out of this.

You know, Greer and the others haven't come out yet. If nothing else, they may never get out.

If you get involved again, not only will you not be able to save Mr. Leo, but you will also bury more compatriots.

Trust, you know what I mean. "

Can you not understand, Osido was not involved, that is because the Jews were going to push him into the political arena, and politicians could not have obvious stains, so Leo never let Osido intervene in his own business.

Of course, that was all before. There is no need to think about it now. After this incident, the Jewish forces in the Bukovina area have been greatly damaged, and they are no longer able to push Osido into politics.

Without external support, coupled with his sensitive ethnic identity, even if he entered the officialdom through the examination, he was destined to not go far.

"Don't worry, Mr. Field. I know what to do next, and I won't cause any trouble."

...

Soothe these Leo's relatives

Letter, Feld had a headache again about whether to leave Austria.

Having been here for a few months, he has almost figured out the situation. Austria is still relatively friendly to ordinary Jews, but it is not very suitable for Jewish capitalists to survive.

Not to mention other issues, just one prohibition of usury can kill many Jewish capitalists.

It is not impossible to do it secretly, but with the strength of the Austrian government's anti-corruption campaign, it will lose your head if you are not careful.

Leo Cohen, who is about to be executed, is a lesson from the past. He was originally a big figure in the Austrian capital world.

There is really no problem in doing business in compliance with the law, but legal business is not profitable!

Today, the domestic market competition in Austria is very cruel, and most industries have limited profits.

As a latecomer, it is even more difficult to get in and get a piece of the pie.

In high-profit industries, the barriers to entry are very high. Not only does it require a large amount of capital to be invested, it also has high requirements for technology, it is also full of uncertainty, and even the payback period is very long.

Of course, there are also industries with short cycles and high profits, such as the stock market and futures, except that the risks are a little higher, there are no other shortcomings.

This is definitely not what the Jewish capitalists want. Everyone's pursuit of huge profits is not false, but it does not mean that they are willing to be leeks.

Anyone who is a financial expert does not know the depth of the water. Qianglong doesn't press down on the local snakes. They are at most a caterpillar. If they rush in, they will die.

Before Feld weighed the pros and cons, the cruel reality made a choice for him.

Leo Cohen's execution was just the beginning. As the trial continued, more and more people were guillotined.

Watching the heads of people keep falling, the wealthy Jewish people who had no sense of security in themselves couldn't sit still and urged Feld to leave.

There is no way, this is not suitable for everyone to make a fortune. Twelve points of resistance to Austria's strict laws.

If all the rich lords left, and only some ordinary Jews were left, would they still be Jews?

Without capital investment, ordinary people can't last long under Austria's assimilation policy.

After all, cultural inheritance also takes time. Ordinary people have to run around for three meals a day, but they don't have so much time to educate the next generation.

Once a language is lost, it will deteriorate in a few generations.
