Chapter 333: Shivering (fourth update, please subscribe)
Is blood red?
No, it's black.
Because of the light, the blood flowing out of the broken neck looks black to many people.
The black blood flows and turns into red, flowing.
Everyone in the audience turned pale with fright at this chilling scene. As for Oshima and others in the car, they were trembling like chaff and even sobbing uncontrollably.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die...
Another person was pulled out, asked the same questions again, and then pushed to the guillotine.
"Whoosh... click".
In this way, the military judge's questioning and the sound of the guillotine blade falling sounded one after another.
One after another, criminals who committed crimes during the war were left with their heads missing, and their blood flowed along the vine basket.
Finally, Oshima was also dragged up. When he was dragged out, he was so pale that he couldn't even move. He just allowed the guard to hold his arm and move him step by step. , at this time, he kept recalling what he had done in his mind and regretting the crimes he had committed.
"Oshima Akira, did you kill an overseas Chinese in Bandung on July 9, 1944?"
"Yes..."
trembling all over Oshima couldn't even say a word,
"Oshima Akira, if you expose other people's crimes now, you can get leniency. Do you have other people's crimes to expose?"
Oshima Akira, whose psychological defenses have long since collapsed, is just struggling in fear. While his clothes were being torn apart and he was about to be pressed onto the guillotine, he suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted loudly. ,
"Military judge, military judge, I want to report, I want to expose, I want to expose, Kurosatsu Taro, who slept with me, also killed overseas Chinese, I want mercy..."
Finally, when he was on the verge of death, Oshima Akira figured it out. He realized that he wanted to exchange the lives of others for his own.
"Return to the Third Battalion and the Sixth Team, Maeda Isamu, he also killed overseas Chinese..."
After Oshima Akira came to his senses, he was pulled up. After confessing the names of several people one after another, the military judge asked.
"Is there any more?"
"No, no more, can I, I, be lenient?"
"Of course, of course,"
< br>The military judge nodded.
"You will definitely be treated leniently, um..."
Then the military judge said to Qian Lei.
"Captain Qian, in order to protect the safety of witnesses, he is now transferred to the custody of the Military Justice Department."
"I understand,"
Qian Lei nodded.
"Bring those who confessed..."
Those who confessed were dragged onto the stage like dead dogs. In their dull eyes, there seemed to be no hatred for Oshima Akira. That leaves the chilling guillotine.
Then, the process continued to repeat, the same questioning, the same guillotine, everything was streamlined, while Oshima Akira watched from the side, and he was thankful that he survived.
He no longer cared about the life or death of others, he only knew that he had survived. At this moment, he heard someone shouting.
"I want to report, I want to expose..."
It's Isamu Maeda. He's going to report and expose... He will definitely survive!
In this way, through mutual reporting and exposure, more murderers were found out. In just half a day, more than 300 people were guillotined. Some of the people who were sent to the guillotine cried out that they were wronged until they were dying.
The ground was covered with blood. At this time, the rain came down, and the rain washed away the blood on the stage. Red blood was flowing on the ground, and the people in the audience were all looking at the scene in front of them with dull expressions. This scene.
They were looking at not only dead people, but also living people - those who survived by betraying others, just standing there
Finally everything was over, in the audience When the people left, Oshima Akira and Maeda Isamu also left. Qian Lei standing on the stage looked at Oshima Akira and others who were being sent to the car and asked.
"Captain Fang, are they really lenient?" "Well,"
Took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Qian Lei. He also smoked one, Light a cigarette.
“They have our blood on their hands.”
“I know,”
"Then why let them go?"
"Who said we should let them go?"
The military judge sneered.
"Leniency does not mean letting go, that is, changing places, changing methods, well, when we get to the military law office, we will use a pistol to solve it!"
Is there such an operation?
Just to operate like this and leave his body intact, isn't it a lenient treatment?
Qian Lei couldn't help being stunned and said.
"This, this...this is good, but..."
After thinking about it, Qian Lei said.
“Well, among the people they exposed just now, it seems that many people are crying injustice, saying that they were wronged. Could they really be wronged?”
Facing Qian Lei's question, the military judge said.
"Is this important?"
"Isn't it important?"
"It's not important at all, the important thing is..."
Military Judge He cast his eyes into the distance, towards the Japanese prisoners who had walked away, and said.
"It's them. This execution is for them to see. In addition to telling them that blood debts need to be paid with blood, there is also a deeper reason."
After taking a puff of cigarette, the military judge said coldly said in a tone of voice.
"It is to let them expose each other and report each other. In order to survive, they will do this. Just like the scene you saw before, can they not know that they are setting up a trap? Of course they I know, but what did they see? They saw that you can survive by exposing others and slandering others,"
The military judge's words made Qian Lei ask with a blank look on his face.
"What's the point?"
"It means a lot."
Looking at Qian Lei, who looked confused, the military judge continued.
“You should also learn this when managing prisoner-of-war camps. Let them expose and report each other. If they don’t work hard or are lazy and slippery, as long as they expose others, let them They get some benefits, such as being able to add a spoonful of rice to the bowl."
"What's the use? Isn't this a waste of food?"
Qian Lei said with some disdain. .
"If it weren't for the regulations on how much food they had to provide every day, I would have starved them to death. How about adding a spoonful of rice? Why waste that food?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely not a waste. Sometimes , they are more important alive than dead. Besides, we can't kill all of them. We can use these prisoners of war for three or five years, but in the end, they still have to be put back, even if only half of them are put back. Half of the people are different from the past."
The military judge said after taking a long drag on his cigarette.
"How is it different? These prisoners who returned to Japan not only had nothing, but they were also ruthless, lawless, immoral, and shameless. In the end, they became rogues. They would do anything for profit. They tell lies with their eyes open, they tell lies with their mouths open, they tell lies without conscience, they are so ridiculous and shameless that they don’t know what morality is, what ethics, justice and shame are, it’s all bullshit, what they believe in is pragmatism and profit comes first, and human beings There is no trust, no responsibility, moral decay, and even profit-seeking, intrigues, and intrigues. These are the results of them exposing each other and betraying each other for their own selfish purposes... We..."
Although we have everything in our hands. The cigarette almost burned his fingers, but the military judge still took a strong puff, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard. He twisted it again, as if in revenge, and said with cold eyes.
"What is needed is to try our best to amplify the evil in their human nature in this prisoner-of-war camp, even by any means, to lure out their evil bit by bit, and amplify it bit by bit. In the end, those we release back to Japan are not A group of people, but a group of morally corrupt, selfish, and profit-seeking beasts!"
The military judge's words made Qian Lei shudder. He couldn't even believe what he heard. Is this the ultimate goal?
"Killing people kills their hearts... This killing of their hearts does not kill their hearts, but their souls! The only way is to destroy their souls from the root... destroy the souls in their hearts!"
