Episode 67 Washington's Sentencing(2/2)
Also very concerned.
It is now 22:00 Nanjing time and 9:00 am Eastern Time in the United States. There are two cases to be pronounced in the United States today.
In the capital, Washington, D.C., at nine o'clock in the morning Eastern Time, the U.S. Federal Supreme Court is making a ruling on the case of Nanming Xuchangji Trading Company purchasing tents and sleeping bags from several American companies.
In Pennsylvania, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the Pennsylvania court issued a verdict on the case of Nanming Xuchangji Trading Company purchasing chocolate from the American Hershey Chocolate Company.
It is indeed a coincidence that two major sentencings were held on the same day, only half an hour apart.
Because the distance between Washington, D.C., and Nanjing is too far, even shortwave cannot reach it directly. Therefore, the broadcasting company's reporters in the United States listened at the scene, and then wrote a news report at any time, and asked the assistant to rush to the telegraph office to send the report and send it back to Nanjing.
When the two major radio stations in Nanjing received the telegram, they would immediately read it on the radio. During this period, the host and several famous speakers continued to discuss it, and the atmosphere was quite tense and exciting.
Xiang Xiaoqiang and the others were also guarding the radio at Wuwang Villa. Although they also had a spy network in the United States, since the media had done everything at this time, there was no need to risk using spies to report. If spies were used, what he did was the same.
Things that reporters do.
Jinling Broadcasting Company is relatively wealthy, and its reporters in the United States are better than China Broadcasting Company, and they can grab news faster. There is a time difference between the two stations. Now Xiang Xiaoqiang and others listen to Jinling Channel.
The host was reading the judge's verdict solemnly.
"...To sum up, this court believes that the camping tents purchased by the Ming Dynasty's Sun Changji' Trading Company are huge in number and have obvious military characteristics. Combined with the ongoing war in China, this batch of tents is obviously not for civilian camping, but for military use.
…This court declares that the tents and sleeping bags purchased by the Ming Dynasty's Sun Changji' Trading Company fall into the category of "military equipment."
After finishing reading, even the host was silent for several seconds, and no one nearby spoke. There was silence on the radio.
Beside the radio, many people were also silent.
