Chapter 536 Execution, the last chance (second update, please subscribe)
Chang'an, Anning District.
The intersection of Zhuque Avenue and Anning Road. A gray neoclassical-style six-story building stands tall. It is a huge building that does not seem to have much architectural beauty.
This building designed by a German designer is where the Ministry of Justice is located.
In a large office on the sixth floor, a middle-aged man was reading documents. As the Minister of Justice, Zhang Weilun is well known among senior officials in Chang'an as...the New York faction. The so-called New York faction refers to Li Yi'an's staff during his time in New York. They and the European faction, that is, officials from the search team, formed the three major factions in Nanyang officialdom. They are known as "Your Excellency's right-hand man" and are distributed in politics with the European faction. Each department of the military is different. In the political circles, the New York faction is mainly concentrated in the two departments of General Industry and Ministry of Justice, but the company is their world.
Zhang Weilun is almost the core of the "New York School". He is not only Li Yi'an's confidant, but also his close friend.
At this time, a thirty-four or five-year-old clerk came in and gently placed a document on his desk.
After taking the document, Zhang Weilun looked at the document without raising his head. His brows were frowning from time to time, and his expression was also changing.
After reading the document, Zhang Weilun raised his head and said:
“Is this information accurate?”
Zhao Shude nodded, he understood the importance of this information.
“The investigation team has repeatedly confirmed that through reviewing a large amount of information and oral confessions, we have sufficient evidence to prove that it was he who organized and ordered the implementation of the “Saigon 1.7 Massacre.”
< br>The "Saigon 1.7 Massacre" is simply not worth mentioning among the crimes committed by the Japanese army - the massacre of more than 1,000 people from 17 prestigious overseas Chinese families in Saigon and their family members, regardless of men, women, old and young, all were massacred Killed, these seventeen included the Li family.
And Li Nian is the second son of the Li family in Saigon! In other words, this blood debt can be labeled.
For this reason, the investigation team of the Ministry of Justice has not given up tracking war criminals in the past few years. Although the Japanese military burned a large number of files before surrendering, the special investigation team still made various efforts and finally found them. The murderer.
This is definitely exciting news.
“They did a good job!”
Zhang Weilun stood up with some excitement. He walked out from behind the desk and paced back and forth in the office and said.
"Secretary Zhao, you should remember this. This is not just for you. In fact, it is for all of us. Those Japanese war criminals have committed too many crimes, and we must not let them go. Let them go. What we pursue is justice. Those Japanese war criminals should be tried, so that it is fair to those who were harmed. If they escape punishment because Japan surrendered, how can the harmed people rest in peace?"
< br>The reason why Zhang Weilun has never given up tracking the murderers. It was never for a certain person, but because of the understanding of the atrocities of the Japanese army.
Zhang Weilun had only one wish in his heart - to capture those people and conduct a just trial.
Only then can justice be served.
It’s not for one person.
But for the millions of compatriots who were brutally killed by the Japanese army.
Some people can forgive them. Some people can go and complain with virtue.
But Zhang Weilun doesn't know what forgiveness is, nor does he know what complaining with virtue is.
Then Zhang Weilun said again.
"Japanese war criminals committed heinous crimes in Tangshan, Southeast Asia and other regions. This is a historical fact. The truth cannot be concealed. Only when these war criminals are tried can future generations be fully alerted. Therefore, We must bring them back to Nanyang and let them accept justice! This is the last chance to seek justice, so..."
As the words fell, Zhang Weilun walked behind the desk and sat down again. came down, and then he signed the order on the document.
Then he picked up the document and said to Zhao Shude:
"Secretary Zhao, as the Minister of Justice, I now authorize you to establish a special investigation department. Your duty is to track down those Japanese war criminals. As long as they have committed war crimes, regardless of whether the crimes occurred in Nanyang, you can use all means. Bring them to Nanyang and accept justice!”
At the moment of issuing this order, Zhang Weilun felt an unprecedented sense of mission rising in his heart, and the thoughts he had seen even appeared in his mind again. those scenes. That documentary film I watched.
Although he was a little excited, looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Weilun asked:
"How about it, tell me what you think."
After a brief thought, Zhao Shude asked:
"We have no experience in overseas activities, and the current target is in the north. If we carry out activities there, I think we need the assistance of the Secret Intelligence Service. They have more experience. With their assistance, the work will be easier. . ”
While investigating this matter, they had already had many unofficial contacts with the Secret Intelligence Service. Nodding, Zhang Weilun said to him:
"Yes, I will personally communicate with the Secret Intelligence Service and ask them to assist the work of the special investigation team..."
< br>After Zhao Shude left the office, looking at the phone on the table, Zhang Weilun seemed a little hesitant. Does he need to tell the president about this?
Hesitantly, Zhang Weilun picked up the phone on the table and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Received from Director Cheng's office of the Intelligence Bureau."
......
"I think this news should be kept secret for the time being."
In Huaide District In a restaurant, Cheng Pengan looked at Zhang Weilun and said.
"The stakes in this matter are very high. The North Japan side is different from any country we know. Everyone there is spying on each other. Internal Affairs Department informants are scattered in various fields. A stranger appears there. It is very eye-catching. When our people get there, their identity will be exposed accidentally. If the operation fails..."
Punching his lips, Cheng Pengan said.
"How will I explain it to you then?"
As the head of the Secret Intelligence Service, he is very aware of the risks of implementing this operation.
"The reason for carrying out this action is not just for you,"
Zhang Weilun said.
"There are still many war criminals in North Japan. They are scattered in all walks of life. If we do not take action, then we will forever lose the opportunity to demand justice."
< br>When the waiter was serving the food, Zhang Weilun paused and said after the waiter left.
"Even if the sky falls, justice must be practiced. This is our responsibility."
Then, looking at the head of the Secret Intelligence Service in front of him, Zhang Weilun said.
"Although I have never been to Tangshan, I am also from Tangshan. I know what we must do, which is to pay with blood. Some things must be done, and some sacrifices must be made!"
"I Understood..."
Cheng Pengan nodded and said.
“I joined the army during the Anti-Japanese War, and blood debts were paid with blood. I naturally understand this truth. I also support this action from the bottom of my heart. The Intelligence Bureau will also join in this action. However, we alone are not enough. ...We should also contact the military."
Zhang Weilun said.
"The military must be involved. After all, many operations will definitely require the cooperation of the Tokyo garrison."
"Not just the garrison, the military can provide submarines, even aircraft and other means of transportation. After all, in the north, our people It is impossible to enter and exit freely."
As an expert in covert operations, Cheng Pengan naturally understands the difficulty of covert operations better than Zhang Weilun.
"You are experts in carrying out this kind of action, so naturally you will take the lead. The investigation team will fully cooperate with you. Are you sure about your side and not tell them yet?"
Face Cheng Pengan said to Zhang Weilun's question.
"Wait a moment. I can ask your Excellency to approve the action plan first. As for the details... let's wait until the war criminals are brought back to Nanyang."
Overseas operations require approval from the official residence, and, It also requires the cooperation of many departments.
"Okay, if there is no problem on your side, I will contact the Ministry of National Defense."
In the next few days, as the Chief of Justice, Zhang Weilun personally He acted as a liaison and united departments to form a cross-department special operations team.
I didn’t know at this time that the authorization he signed to carry out special operations would be the Nanyang Judicial Service. In the next half century, a large number of war criminals were secretly arrested and sent to Nanyang for public trials, and each war criminal was punished to justice.
