Chapter 310 Marshal Mai’s compensation (first update, please subscribe)
“We are all soldiers, we just follow orders.”
In the next dozen hours, Konteng Eijiro answered the questions raised by the interrogator one by one. The reason why he was so obedient was because in his opinion... he was just following orders.
This point will be emphasized even when confessing.
In another world, just by following orders one by one, those Japanese soldiers with the blood of their compatriots on their hands escaped justice!
They have never been ashamed, and now Li Yian does not need their shame. If they want to feel ashamed, they can go underground to find the compatriots who were killed by them to feel ashamed.
Forgiveness is someone else’s business. Li Yian only needs to let them accept the sanction of justice and send them to hell!
Finally, when a list of hundreds of people was listed, Li Yian gave the order directly without even listening to further reports.
"Now, track them down, find out their whereabouts, and then kill them!"
It turns out that hard work pays off. After using some means, Li Yian finally got what he wanted. , and soon, junior officers were arrested one after another. These junior naval officers never thought that one day they would be arrested. Like Eijiro Kontō, they were also very cooperative and took the initiative to tell everything they knew.
In their view, not only were they themselves innocent, but so were the soldiers who carried out the orders.
Because of this, they are particularly cooperative!
In this way, the names were listed one by one. Some of them died on the battlefield, some were in other places, and of course some were in Tokyo.
Sergeant Kuroda Mori is one of them. He retired due to injury three years ago. Just when he thought he could enjoy the rest of his life, the crimes of the past found him.
"...After seeing someone on the river, under the order of Second Lieutenant Heiichiro, I fired, probably firing hundreds of rounds."
"I don't know how many people died. I just saw Jiang's face turned red, that's it..."
During the interrogation, the interrogator could not even imagine that they were so downplaying their crimes. Some interrogators even revealed psychological shadows because the atrocities they faced were so shocking!
"They don't even know how to feel ashamed for their crimes, and they don't even feel that they are at fault!"
Li Yian's brows knitted together as he listened to his subordinate's report.
"Yes, they never feel guilty! That's the case!"
Li Yian raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“Kill them! According to the list, arrest them all one by one, and then kill them all, no one will be spared!”
Qian, Director of the Expeditionary Force Intelligence Division Lei asked, looking at the officer dumbfounded.
"Chief Li, this is in Japan. If we kill him directly, I'm afraid it will trigger a reaction from the outside world..."
"Who said we kill him directly? If there is no trial, what will happen? Reveal their crimes to the world? They must accept justice. We don’t have the power to judge them here, so send them to Boluo for trial!”
Li Yian said coldly.
"We have a guillotine there! Don't think about what the outside world says, just do it!"
Sometimes, some things are so simple, you just need to do it.
Just like Li Yi'an's "sweeping away" of the Imperial Palace Museum, after the news came out, despite the uproar from the outside world, the Japanese immediately understood the truth and made wise choices, and even many of them The museum took the initiative to contact friendly forces and requested the return of Chinese cultural relics. Even the Zhoukoudian ape-man skull was handed over on its own initiative. Why was it so proactive?
They are afraid of being swept away like the Imperial Museum!
I have to say... I was a bitch in my bones when I was little!
......
On this day, Li Yian was awakened from the gentle countryside by the ringing of the phone on the bedside table.
The harsh sound of the phone made Li Yian sit up. When he answered the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned. It was actually MacArthur calling.
I'm going!
Not so fast!
This is a lover, not a wife!
Having a guilty conscience, he sat up from the bed and glanced at Setsuko Hara. Although they didn't know each other yet,... maybe it was just psychological!
"Okay, I will be there within an hour."
MacArthur called to invite him to the headquarters to discuss things,
What it is is unknown, but...
Okay!
This Marshal Mai has to meet again after all.
When I got up to leave, I looked at the woman on the bed and had to say that this woman was indeed a beauty, the kind who would know who could use her.
Although I had made up my mind before the personal review, after all, to prevent MacArthur from falling into the gentle land of Japanese women, it is also a contribution to world peace!
Hey, men always need to take the responsibility of maintaining world peace. Well, let me sacrifice it!
For world peace!
......
While heading to Marshal Mai's headquarters, Li Yian had been thinking about the situation at the Allied Command. As the supreme commander of the Pacific Allied Forces, Marshal Mai's side Surrounded by a group of people, they are called the "Bataan Gang". None of this group of people had fought in Bataan. Like Marshal Mai, they all tried their best to escape safely to Australia before the fall of the Philippines. It is this group of people who dominate everything in Japan.
In fact, it is not just them, but also the Russians. Now in Japan, the US military is not the only one. The Russians also have a say.
Compared with MacArthur's ambiguity, the Russians have always advocated the trial of Hirohito. On this point, Li Yian admires the Russians very much. Even if they have their own motives for doing so,...it is human nature to retaliate. Well.
In the lobby of Tokyo Dai-ichi Building, a colonel was waiting. After Li Yian arrived, he took him in the elevator to the sixth floor of the building, which was also the top floor.
The colonel led Li Yian through a small conference room and into a spacious room. MacArthur sat behind a large writing desk covered with a thick green cloth. There was no phone or piles of documents on the table, just a notepad and a few pencils. He was holding the long corn pipe just like in the photo, but he didn't light it.
Shuai Mai stood up, walked forward, and stretched out his arms. He was taller than Li Yian expected. He originally thought he would see an arrogant face. Although his face was cold, it didn't seem to make people feel arrogant and conceited.
He did seem a little tired, but when he spoke, he seemed very active.
"I'm very happy to see you, Lee."
He pointed to the sofa with his head, and after the colonel left, he sat on the armchair.
“I know that you have been doing your best to demolish factories, just like the Russians did, and of course I have no intention of stopping you, although I will be launching a great social experiment here, although in 缱Do not agree with my point of view: before the war, this represents the extreme form of fascist feudalism."
MacArthur began his speech eloquently. He had to admit that every Yankee is a natural speaker. When speaking, one hand kept making strong gestures, and the other hand was holding the pipe. His voice was loud, but Li Yian seemed to have a strong dramatic effect.
He stared at Li Yi'an,
"The people here have almost no understanding of how people in other parts of the world live. My great mission is to make it a huge experimental field to test and transform the people from fascism." liberated from the rule of the Communist Party of China and established a different government from the original one."
Mai Daishuai leaned his head on the back of his chair, with an expression on his face like a priest.
"General, if this is the case, what you need is to complete the separation between the past and the future. Then, from this point of view, it is extremely necessary to conduct a truly thorough liquidation, only to dig out the fascist roots. Only the soil can prevent the germination, just like what the Allies did in Germany."
After putting forward his opinion, Li Yian saw Marshal Mai taking out a cigar and throwing it to him without saying a word. He picked up the match and lit the pipe. While Li Yian was lighting the cigar, Marshal Mai took two puffs and then changed the subject. Obviously, he was not willing to listen to other people's suggestions on the "great mission".
"Li, do you know how much trouble your work has brought to our work in Japan?"
Putting a corn pipe in his mouth, Marshal Mai looked directly at him and said.
“I said, I don’t mind if you demolish the factory. In fact, if you do that, it will be beneficial to us. After all, the Russians also made demands for war compensation. They asked for compensation within our occupied areas. Destroying 25% of the factories, just like in Germany, is still being debated. If they are demolished by you, at least it will not be easier for the Russians!"
Mai Shuai stood up and walked in the room! Walking back and forth, still holding the pipe in his mouth.
“But what you did in the museum and the Imperial University has gone beyond the scope of what I can accept, and now, your behavior is touching a bottom line. It is a kind of robbery and will affect people’s health. Allied authority and impartiality had serious consequences."
Facing the justice mentioned by Marshal Mai, Li Yian said.
"Justice? General, what is the greatest justice in the world?"
Li Yian continued without waiting for Marshal Mai to answer.
“The greatest justice is justice! The German philosopher Kant once said: Even if the sky falls, justice must be practiced. When the Japanese brutally killed my compatriots, where was justice? ? Where was the justice when they took away our belongings from our homes? Where was the justice when they killed our wives and children? We came to this land with a blood feud, and we did not impose on them. The atrocities committed on us, we showed unimaginable kindness and revenge, this voice echoed in our chests! "
Everyone can say high-sounding words, and Li Yian said. More beautiful than anyone else.
"Now, we are just getting back what belongs to us. Those cultural relics were taken away by them. It is our responsibility to take them back and send them back to where they should go."
Take a deep breath, Li Yian He said facing Marshal Mai's gaze.
"General, your mission is to conduct experiments, and my mission is to implement justice!"
Marshuai Mai looked at him carefully, with a bit of cunning.
“Is your justice to kill those defenseless people?”
"It's just acceptable additional damage,"
Li Yian did not defend himself and took a puff of his cigar, while the general lit his pipe again, this was the third time, and then he said while holding the pipe.
“This matter ends here. I don’t want this to happen again. The Allies must be just. I hope you can understand all this. I need to establish new rules on this land. "
After that, he looked straight at Li Yian and said in a serious tone.
“Right now, what I am concerned about is what will seriously weaken my authority and affect my mission. I hope you can understand this, if... you can get some corresponding compensation! ”
Some adjustments and modifications have been made to some parts of Chapters 309 and 310. I hope everyone will be satisfied.
