Chapter 847: Forced Out ……
Chapter 830 – Forced Out ……
Bukovina Jewish community, the elderly Feld is busy resettling his compatriots, and it’s obvious that he’s very experienced.
With hundreds of years of migration, the Jewish people have learned to take things as they come. Even when they arrived in an unfamiliar place, everyone was able to adapt quickly.
As a matter of fact, Austria was not the first choice for the Russian Jews to migrate to, and at first they were ready to leave Europe, with Bukovina as a transit point.
It was only after arriving here that it became clear that, apart from the public discord against the Jews, no large-scale anti-Semitic movement had broken out in Austria.
As for the imprisonment of Jewish capitalists, this was child’s play. These days the Jews are having a hard time all over the world, and it is not uncommon for them to go to jail for no reason at all.
The Russian Empire in particular was the most inharmonious, and even those who had defected to the powerful in the Tsarist government were not infrequently hammered.
With years of life experience, several Jewish leaders, including Feld, saw this as Austrian bureaucrats trying to get money.
Coincidentally, this period, the Americas also broke out anti-Semitic movement, suddenly all of a sudden there is no place to go, we decided to stay and wait and see the situation.
After the investigation team to determine the list, see all “their own people”, the leakage of the Austrian Jewish upper echelon at ease, everyone agreed that things have passed.
In this unholy world, the Jewish people can survive, rely on the unity in times of crisis.
Everyone thought together, anyway, there is no place to go, since the Austrian anti-Semitic movement is over again, why not stay, we can also have a mutual care.
Although they did not get Austrian citizenship, they soon bought a piece of land to rebuild their homes with the help of their Austrian compatriots.
Looking at the hot construction site, Fielder revealed a pleased smile. These days he is not in vain, through this side of the compatriots, have a deep understanding of Austria.
Happiness is all about contrast, to the survival environment of the Russian Empire, Austria is completely called a paradise.
The rule of law society is good, for the vast majority of ordinary Jews, the biggest worry is the lack of order.
“Mr. Feld, something big is happening!”
A loud voice broke Felder’s good mood.
Frowning, Fielder asked with concern, “Ralph, what happened again?”
It couldn’t be helped, now that they had become birds of prey, they were extraordinarily concerned about every move in the outside world.
Ralph panted and replied, “Mr. Grylls and Mr. Osidor were all captured by the Austrians, and even their families were taken away together.
I went out to ask around, and it was said that it was because they were implicated by Mr. Reo, and it seems that the charges were failure to report knowledge and illegal profits.
What exactly, I can’t figure out. Anyway, a lot of my compatriots have been arrested, and all of them are big names in the Bukovina area.”
Hearing this bad news, Fielder’s face turned pale and his body trembled, and if it wasn’t for Ralph’s quick eyes and hands holding him up, he still didn’t know what would have happened.
After a moment’s effort, Fielder, who had slowed down, sighed helplessly.
There was no way, he really couldn’t understand the current change in the situation. Saying that it was already fine, the situation suddenly deteriorated again all of a sudden.
“Let’s first get in touch with the local compatriots, they have some local connections and can receive news more easily than us.
Get everyone ready to move again, and if the momentum isn’t right, leave Austria.”
Ralph nodded, in the face of the current situation, he had long since panicked, and naturally did whatever Fielder said.
Looking at Ralph who kept nodding his head, Fielder revealed a bitter smile, leaving was easy to say, but it would be difficult to really do it.
Every migration of the Jewish nation was a history of blood and tears. Many times it was a fall from one hell, to another.
The word “home” was too foreign to them. There were only temporary settlements, and there was no telling when they would have to move again.
……
Once the valve is opened, it is not so easy to close it again.
With the order of the investigation team, a large number of people involved in the case went to jail, accompanied by a snowflake of letters of complaint and guilty pleas.
The big Jewish capitalists hooked up with the big shots in the Austrian government, while the small capitalists naturally had to hook up with the small bureaucrats.
Not everyone is mentally capable of carrying on with a confession. More ordinary people, was arrested by the police after a brain full account.
Some people, in order to reduce their own sentence, even some hearsay, no actual evidence of the information, all accounted for.
From the central government ministries, down to the streets and communities, there are people involved everywhere.
Looking at the case files that were sent up, Count Vitus nearly fainted from anger.
So many people were involved, and if they were to be dealt with according to the law, there would be a lot more people they would have to offend.
Mercy is even more unlikely, perhaps before the lid is uncovered, there is still the possibility of covering up the past, but not now.
The dignity of the law can not be blasphemed, since the evidence is conclusive, it must be disposed of, or the above can not spare them.
……
Paul Bodis said with a haggard face, ”Your Excellency the Count, the situation has gotten completely out of control, the officials involved up to ten thousand people up and down the country, including dozens of high government officials.
I won’t hide it from you all, the people begging for mercy in the last few days are close to stepping through the doors of my house.
I believe everyone is similar, and there are even relatives and friends directly involved in the case.
Now we’re being roasted on the fire, if we let them off the hook, the higher-ups definitely won’t be able to spare us; if we do the right thing, we’re going to be isolated in the future.”
There was no way around it, who made them overestimate the modesty of their colleagues beforehand. Thinking that they were the only ones raking in the benefits from the gray area, they hadn’t thought that there were people of the same ilk all over the country.
Generally speaking, this kind of power and money deal hidden in the shadows was very difficult to investigate. As long as the parties involved do not speak out, it is very difficult for outsiders to figure out the inner relationship.
In normal times, people didn’t criticize those corrupt and bribe-taking fools, who didn’t expect that they would be hitched to them one day.
Earl Vitus nodded, ”Paul has a good point, the current situation has indeed gotten out of control.
To put it mildly, the evidence that has been exposed so far alone is enough to send us to jail.
If we didn’t happen to be in charge of this case, perhaps we would be the ones who are now going around asking for help.
At this point in time, do you guys think it’s better for us to go in by ourselves, or to let someone else go in?”
Reality was so cruel that without realizing it they became a knife, a knife to the Austrian bureaucracy.
As a matter of fact, this question was prepared in the minds of the people from the time they entered the investigation team.
Only we still have a trace of fantasy, after all, the Austrian government officials to grasp the strict, corruption elements of the living space is very small, the bureaucratic group still looks very clean, not prepared for the government on them a few assholes.
However, the reality is very cruel. Know how to use the power of the “smart people” to make money, directly to embezzlement of public funds of the government of the fool is a minority.
The matter is not yet over, there are more than 10,000 people involved in the case, which if the investigation goes on, I do not know how many people will go to jail.
Needless to say, as the person in charge of this case, Count Vitus would definitely become the target of everyone’s hatred.
Alberti said fiercely, ”Order the arrests, at this point now there is no room for us to back down.
Even if we stop now, no one will miss us. The lid has been lifted, if we don’t look down, there will be others to look.
At that time, a few of us will be miserable, we will have offended both the top and the bottom, and several offenses will be counted together, and taking away the knighthood will be possible.”
Hearing the words “take away the title”, the people who were still hesitant, their stance instantly became firm.
There was no way, the case was too big now. At this point, there was definitely a need for someone with weight to come out and take charge.
It just so happened that the investigating team was qualified, as the culprits of siding with the Jewish crime syndicate, if they were not severely punished, there was no way to explain to the Austrian people.
Offending people would, at most, make one’s career in officialdom impossible. Anyway, within the rules, as long as they stand upright behind them, no one can do anything to them.
But once you lose the title, it is not so simple as not being able to get along, or maybe even die in the family.
Political struggle is always bloody, rather than hope in other people’s illusory “thanksgiving”, it is better to let go of the fight.
Seeing the crowd unified position, Count Vitus also relieved, this time is the most afraid of small group split.
Even if they will be isolated in the future, the people present can still embrace the warmth of the group, it is better than a single person working alone.
After a few moments of effort, Count Vitus slowly said: ”Since everyone has made a choice, then let’s do it in a public way!
With this step taken, we will have to be careful behind us. The outside world will be looking at us with a magnifying glass, and we absolutely cannot reveal the slightest crack.
No matter who comes to plead for leniency, no one can be the least bit soft. Even if it involves our loved ones, they must be dealt with according to the law.
A fair and clean image will be the foundation of our future foothold in the political arena.”
