After leaving George Building, everyone went straight to the court.
In the reception room of the court, everyone met the Chief Justice.
"Your Honor, George Strayer's actions have seriously harmed the interests of the country and the lives of the people." The Minister of Agriculture spoke first with a serious expression.
Looking at the group of people coming, the Chief Justice frowned slightly and said, "Please explain the situation in detail."
The Minister of Commerce, a man of short temper, interrupted, saying, "That big idiot, Sterley, has privately provoked a conflict with China, causing the stock market to plummet and severely damaging our trade. If this continues, the market capitalization of many large companies will shrink significantly, and many small and medium-sized enterprises will face bankruptcy. This is a serious disruption to the economic order."
The Chief Justice is an old man with gray hair and looks very prestigious. He has been in office for more than 20 years and is a true number one in the judiciary.
His stance is always at the national level.
The Finance Minister took the opportunity to add, "Moreover, Your Excellency. Due to his reckless actions, which have disrupted normal trade, I predict a huge deficit in the national treasury. If tax revenue decreases while expenditures increase significantly, the fiscal balance will be completely disrupted. This poses a huge risk to the country's financial stability."
The livestock industry leader also said excitedly: "Our livestock industry used to have good cooperation with Hua Xia, but now because of his misdeeds, the cooperation has been interrupted, a large amount of livestock products are in a backlog, and the farmers have suffered heavy losses."
The Chief Justice retorted: "Can't you sell it to someone else?"
The livestock industry leader was stunned for a moment, then explained, "Our prices are high, and most small countries can't afford them. Only China can sustain this."
Hearing this, the corners of the Chief Justice's mouth twitched, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Minister of Agriculture said again: "The same is true for grain. The abundant grain harvest cannot be exported to China smoothly. Inventory is overstocked, prices are falling, and the hard work of farmers has been wasted. This is all caused by Strey!"
The Chief Justice asked again: "Don't other countries want it? Do they have to sell it to China?"
"Your Excellency, to be honest, only China can consume our inventory." The Minister of Agriculture said with a hint of helplessness.
The Chief Justice listened and took notes carefully, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
"Go on," the Chief Justice instructed.
"Strei is also suspected of illegally detaining Chinese hostages, which is a serious violation of international law and humanitarian principles," the Minister of Commerce continued.
"There are also many suspicious points in some of his transactions in the military industry, which may involve corruption and unfair competition." The Finance Minister continued to list Strayer's crimes.
The Chief Justice put down his pen and said seriously, "These evidences are indeed serious. If they are true, they must be dealt with according to the law."
"Your Honor, everything we say is supported by sufficient evidence," the Minister of Agriculture said firmly.
"Please submit the relevant evidence to the court and we will conduct a detailed review," said the Chief Justice.
Everyone nodded and said they would provide it as soon as possible.
After leaving the reception room, everyone immediately began to prepare evidence.
"We must teach Sterley a lesson this time," said the livestock industry leader.
"That's right, we can't let the country's interests be trampled upon by him like this," said the Finance Minister.
After several hours of intense preparation, everyone submitted a thick stack of evidence to the court.
After carefully reviewing the evidence, the Chief Justice decided to subpoena Stray in accordance with the law.
When the subpoena arrived at George Building, Stray was completely panicked.
He knew that the matter had become a big deal, and if it was not properly resolved, his situation would become very difficult.
"What are these bastards going to do? Instead of confronting China, they can only bully others at home?" Strayer paced back and forth in the office, feeling anxious.
His assistant said: "Sir, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. We must find a way to deal with it."
Stray glared at his assistant. "Think of a solution? What solution can you offer?"
Just as Strayer was in a panic, he decided to seek help from some political allies.
"Honey, you have to help me this time," Strayer said to a politician on the phone.
"George, this incident has caused too much trouble for me." The other party responded.
Strayer made several more calls, but received similar responses.
In desperation, Stray had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to respond to the court summons.
Before this, he took the initiative to contact these ministers and expressed his willingness to sit down and have a good talk.
After all, as long as they withdraw the lawsuit, it will be easy to settle the matter with their financial resources.
At the negotiating table, George tried to defend himself, but no one gave him a chance.
"George, stop quibbling. The current situation is caused by you. You must take responsibility and come up with practical solutions." The Minister of Agriculture said seriously.
George was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I will find a way to communicate with Huaxia and try to recover the losses."
"That's not enough, you have to give a specific plan and timetable," said the finance minister.
George gritted his teeth and said, "I promise to come up with a plan to communicate with China within a week and ease the situation within a month."
The livestock industry leader slammed the table and shouted, "George, do you think we're three-year-old children? You've caused such a big disaster. A month is too long. Do you know how much money we lose every day? You think you can get rid of us with just a few words?"
Stray frowned, suppressing his anger and saying, "So what do you want? I'm already trying to figure it out."
