Originally, according to Fang Zida's intention, the trial of Chen Shaobai and others was to be conducted in the form of a public trial. Such public trials are common in later generations and can give great shock to criminals and all walks of life. However, this suggestion was strongly opposed by the Ministry of Justice as soon as it was put forward. The Ministry of Justice replied that in constitutional countries, no matter the constitution, criminal law, or civil law, there is no provision for "public trial", not to mention that this kind of seemingly open trial completely violates the constitutional system. , not only conflicts with existing laws, but is also an extremely bad method. It greatly damages the dignity of the person being tried and makes it impossible for the trial to be conducted in a fair and just manner. If the State Council wants to enforce this, The Ministry of Justice will all resign to safeguard judicial fairness.
Like the Ministry of Justice, the High Court also severely criticized the State Council for this matter. The top judge also threatened that if the State Council decided to go its own way, the Supreme Court would first prosecute the State Council for unconstitutional charges.
The strong reactions from these two parties frightened Fang Zida into hastily retracting his original words, and even personally went to the Ministry of Justice and the High Court to explain, promising not to use administrative interference in the judiciary to maintain the independence of the judiciary.
After finally settling the matter, Fang Zida couldn't help but laugh and cry in private. Although he was a little disgraced over this matter, he was not very angry in his heart. After all, this shows the progress of the country's constitutional system and democracy. Even if Fang Zida is the Prime Minister, there are some things that cannot be covered with one hand. This would not have happened at the beginning of the Republic of China.
Therefore, when the time for the trial arrived, everything went according to the arrangements of the Ministry of Justice. The trial attracted attention from many aspects from the beginning, not only because the riots of the Bolshevik Party in China were too sensational, but also involved the Soviet Union. and Moscow, which attracted even more attention from Western countries.
And that¡¯s not what¡¯s even more sensational. When the first day of the trial began, a piece of news stunned all the reporters and celebrities from all over the world. Yin Ruizhi, one of the core members of the Chinese Bolshevik Party who was primarily responsible for the riots, appeared on the witness stand without anyone knowing and became a "tainted witness" for the government. According to Yin Ruizhi's statement and the government he presented, the so-called Chinese Bolshevik Party cannot be regarded as an independent political party at all. It is actually the product of collusion between the Soviet government and the Japanese government, and its purpose is to subvert the Chinese government and profit from it.
Due to the civil war and diplomatic reasons, the Soviet side was eager to open a gap in the surrounding areas. In order to stabilize its rule, Moscow made a plan to export revolution. The main direction of this plan was to export revolution to countries surrounding the Soviet Union, subvert the original government, and establish new governments headed by the Bolshevik Party. , thus making it a satellite state of the Soviet Union. On the one hand, this can make the political status of the Soviet Union more stable, and on the other hand, it can also avoid direct contact with Western countries. Get a buffer in terms of strategy.
In addition, there are also civil war considerations in targeting China first. As we all know, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, that is, the Far East Government, has received strong support from the Chinese government. This is one of the main reasons why the Soviet government has been unable to completely defeat its opponents on the battlefield of the civil war. Once the Chinese government is subverted or there is domestic unrest, it will no longer be able to provide economic, military and other support to the Far East government as before. This also greatly increased the possibility of the Soviet government defeating its opponents and winning the civil war.
As for Japan, let alone that. Japan showed its greed for Chinese territory as early as the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1898, and still separatizes Taiwan, Liaodong (Kandong Prefecture) and other places. The Sino-Japanese local war unilaterally launched by Japan during the European War not only failed to achieve its goal, but also Suffering great losses, they finally had no choice but to make a ceasefire with the Chinese National Defense Forces through the mediation of the Allied Powers.
This is an unprecedented setback that Japan has encountered since the First Sino-Japanese War, and it is regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Japanese military. Although China and Japan are still in a truce. But Japan's small moves have never stopped, and this time it is the same with the Soviet Union. It wants to take advantage of the Soviet Union's opportunity to export revolution to China to fish in troubled waters in order to achieve the goal that it failed to achieve in local wars before.
What¡¯s more, all the weapons for the Chinese Bolshevik Party uprising were privately provided by Japan through East Asia Trading Company. Yin Ruizhi also presented evidence on the spot in court, and these extremely explosive things immediately caused an uproar at the scene. Some Japanese reporters lost their temper and shouted that this was a conspiracy, while reporters from other countries rushed to take photos and ask questions, making the solemn court almost become a lively press conference for a while, with the prosecutor banging a hammer. With great difficulty, the order at the scene was barely restored to normal. In order to ensure the court's investigation and review of evidence, the prosecutor announced a temporary adjournment for one day and the trial will resume tomorrow.
"Haha, this time it's enough for little Japan to drink a pot."
The first day of court was over, when the news spreadWhen they arrived at the State Council, Fang Zida was drinking tea with Yang Du. After the person who reported the report left, Yang Du smiled cheerfully.
Fang Zida nodded noncommittally. The evidence presented by Yin Ruizhi will definitely cause an uproar. It is certain that the Japanese will be uncomfortable for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to use these things to injure the Japanese. The Japanese have long practiced You must have an iron face. Haven't you done this kind of shameless little tricks since the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War? At that time, there will be no admission of guilt, or it may be said that it was done by someone privately and has nothing to do with the Japanese government. Anyway, they have been doing this kind of thing for more than a day or two, and the whole world knows what kind of virtue they have.
"But Zhang Ming, why don't you let Yin Ruizhi reveal the inside story of the Shanghai assassination? If this inside story is revealed, Japan will be hit even harder!" Yang Du was happy but also surprised that the Soviets were dead pigs and were not afraid of boiling water. Hot, they will be the same again if the Chinese government pours dirty water on them. Anyway, the two sides do not have any diplomatic relations (oh, no, it should be said that the Soviet government has no diplomatic relations with all countries in the world). No matter how harsh the scolding is, this is what it is Well, it's the Japanese who took this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. Even if they don't torture them half to death, it's still good to embarrass little Japan in the world.
"Haha, too much is not enough! Everything has a degree, and things are different after this point. The Shanghai assassination case involves too many things, not to mention that it has been a long time. It is not appropriate to bring it up now."
Yang Du thought thoughtfully and nodded slightly: "That's true."
