Chapter 171: Revenge
In November of 48, Zhou Nan has been busy with all kinds of entertainment, and the guest rooms in his house are almost full of friends, so that Chen Hanlin and several of his students can live in the same house with a group of university scholars, and they can't help themselves every day.
His new book has also been well received by scholars, and major publishing houses have also recorded their words, and made a special collection to be printed on the title page of the book.
Although Zhou Nan was busy socializing and discussing academics with scholars every day, his attention was not entirely focused on this.
Because the most sensational thing in November was not the completion of his book, nor the successive victories of South China in Sumatra, which was close to accomplishing its intended strategic goals.
The Indo-Pakistani war, the first Middle East war, and even the Berlin crisis were not the most eye-catching. Rather, the Tokyo Trial, which lasted for two years, has finally come to an end.
The ending of the war criminals was exciting, but Zhou Nan knew very well that in addition to a few first offenders, many others escaped sanctions.
What is even more outrageous is that in the following years, MacArthur pardoned many war criminals, and these war criminals not only entered politics, but also held high positions in the government.
Although MacArthur seems to have his reasons, he did so to keep Japan from dyeing red. However, this outcome is simply unacceptable to many people in Asia who have suffered from the war.
In another life, Zhou Nan's arms couldn't reach his thighs. By this time, he had already broken his left hand and became disabled, and then he was abandoned by the army and returned to Green Island.
But in this life, he already has the power to change the situation, and he will never allow MacArthur to act like a god in Asia.
On the 12th, the trials were all over, seven were sentenced to death by hanging, 16 to life imprisonment, and in other chambers, more than 900 were executed and more than 4,000 were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.
The Dutch envoy, Bert Lorraine, a professor of law at Utrecht University, then represented South China and together with the envoys of several other countries, initiated a civil claim for war reparations against the Japanese side.
However, this move made MacArthur very angry, because he had no prior knowledge of it.
He refused to accept the claim on the grounds that the Trial Chamber of the International Tribunal had ceased to be functional after the trial.
Subsequently, however, these countries sent diplomatic notes directly to the Japanese Government. After some wrestling, the Japanese government of Shigeru Yoshida received the diplomatic note at MacArthur's behest.
However, they did not mention the reparations at all, putting the blame on MacArthur.
In Zhou Nan's plan, this was just a trick for him, because these were just to put pressure on MacArthur, and his real purpose was only on the two of them.
The first is Okamuraji, who once served as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China. In another life, the Blue Party released him, and also hired him as a staff officer, and finally treated him with courtesy, which is the reason why Zhou Nan will never forgive the Blue Party.
No matter how much suffering the Red Party caused him in the end, it finally gave him a take-off motherland, which made him happy and proud in his old age.
Moreover, the Red Party, in the vast majority of the time, takes the development of the country and the nation as its own responsibility, and this is the point that he is most convinced of.
One of the first criminals of the invasion of China can be acquitted, and finally for the sake of civil war and peace talks, he wanted to arrest him again, but Tang Enbo hurriedly sent him back to Japan and let him escape sanctions.
Therefore, no matter how much Tang Enbo has contributed and how talented he is, he will always regard him as a traitor. What's more, he really became a traitor later and went to Japan.
The second is Nobuyuki Kishi, the funder of Unit 731, who escaped sanctions because of his final falling out with Hideki Tojo and was reused by the Americans.
But the harm of this person is definitely greater than that of Gangcun.
Because he is the originator of the extreme right wing of Japan, the leader of Japan's hatred of China after the war. It was also he who founded the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which was extremely hostile to China, tampered with textbooks, denied the history of aggression against China, and passed on hatred from generation to generation.
In the last stage of Zhou Nan's memory, Prime Minister Abe, who desperately knelt and licked the United States and hated China, was his own grandson.
It can be said that the main reason why Sino-Japanese relations have been tense is because of him.
But it was such a person who was acquitted just because he had a quarrel with Hideki Tojo in the final stage, and he was even acquitted on the grounds that he was a politician who disagreed with the current invading government.
Of course, Zhou Nan understood what the reason was, it was not that the Japanese Communists were too rampant and made MacArthur lose patience, so he needed a knife to deal with them.
However, anyone can do it, but it can't be Kishi Nobukyu, because the destructive power of this person is equivalent to ten people.
However, Zhou Nan's influence at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was too small. Don't talk about him, even the Dutch can't speak in this court.
On the 19th, the day after the Japanese Government was forced to accept the diplomatic note, the South China Claims Investigation Group landed on Japanese soil, this time on a grand scale, with a total of more than 200 representatives from all walks of life in South China, most of whom were representatives of some business families.
Politicians don't work to hollow out Japan's industrial base, and only businessmen know what is most valuable and what is most important.
In other words, peers are enemies, what cards are in the opponent's hand, I just choose your biggest pick.
And what about politicians? For the sake of political influence, they tend to make some stupid moves, and the cards that are likely to be drawn are the smallest.
Moreover, South China is not a single visit, Australia, the Philippines, New Zealand, as well as Myanmar, Solomon Islands and other countries have also arrived later.
Although Pan Lao personally led the delegation this time, the Japanese Emperor MacArthur did not pay any attention to him at all, but only gave him a list of some US protections, and let the delegation toss around.
However, without the permission and support of the Americans, it is very difficult for Japan to go around and investigate the actual situation.
Pan Lao waited for a week, but he was not able to see MacArthur.
Zhou Nan really couldn't see it, and sent a telegram to MacArthur.
In the telegram, Zhou praised his contribution to Japan, saying that he played a huge role in the postwar stability in the future. However, I hope that he will take into account the feelings of the people in other Asian countries and regions, and that the United States will play the role of the world's policeman.
However, his reply was only one sentence: it is "my" work.
This reply is very arrogant, which means that it is your business!
Since 46 years later, Zhou Nan has risen in Europe, and no one has ever "insulted" him like this, especially after 48 years, Zhou Nan's status in Europe can be said to be higher than that of any politician.
When he was in retreat, even the prime minister, the president, the prime minister, who wanted to see him, came to his Jonas farm in person.
But now, he was unceremoniously humiliated.
Perhaps, he was used to being the emperor in Asia.
However, Zhou Nan was not angry, because it was unnecessary.
He sent another telegram hoping to meet him.
This time, he did not refuse and gave Zhou Nan a time and place.
Before Christmas, he would go to Krabi in the Philippines and make an appointment with Zhou Nan to meet there.
On the 25th, Pan Lao left Japan on a special plane, but most of the members of the delegation remained here.
On the 26th, Zhou Nan adjusted the curriculum at the University of Lucerne, and before the 10th of next month, he will have three consecutive classes to complete the 48-year course.
Over the next two days, he met with politicians and academics and donated 5,000 Swiss francs to the Blue Party's Zurich office.
Geneva, because it is the seat of the United Nations, is financially tight, but it can still be provided intermittently.
But here in Zurich, there has been no salary for half a year, and the three people left behind have to go out to ask for food.
Since they came to ask for help, Zhou Nan certainly couldn't let them be empty-handed. The five thousand Swiss francs can last until they are completely abandoned.
In the first few days of December, Zhou Nan took three classes in a row in a week to complete his teaching tasks.
After Mueller returned from South China, Zhou Nan took his family and subordinates to O'Elli's medical laboratory for a comprehensive physical examination.
Zhou Nan and Audrey's bodies are extremely healthy, much healthier than the average person's body. It's just that Kelly has some high blood pressure, and the other person who has physical problems is Wittgenstein.
So, he was also sent to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zurich for treatment. For today's medicine, prostatitis is not too difficult to treat.
On 8 December, he attended the regular session of the United Nations General Assembly, which will adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It was also in the afternoon of this day that he received a telegram from Chen Zhongqing, which only had three words: The surname of the country is Ye.
Of course, the surname of the country refers to Zheng Chenggong, and it is also the code determined by Zhou Nan and Chen Zhongqing, which means success.
Don't say that Etinny, these gringos, are just Chinese, and when they see this telegram, they will not understand what is happening.
But Zhou Nan knew very well that in the far east, there was an executioner whose hands were stained with blood and received the punishment he deserved.
Although his current traces were hidden by the Blue Party, Zhou Nan, who had memories of later generations, knew that he was hidden somewhere on Huangdu Road in the concession.
Although Zhou Nan does not know the specific location, Huangdu Road is only a few hundred meters long, and there is a long section of the house of the Songhu Garrison Headquarters. It is not very difficult to find a person who is hiding here in a private house, as long as you have a heart.
Chen Zhongqing is also an angry young man, but also an idealist, and he still has close ties with the Red Party.
So when Zhou Nan talked about this matter, he immediately volunteered to take over the task.
The next day, the news transferred from Nanhua made Zhou Nan extremely indignant, and for such a person, the Blue Party made a big move and arrested at least 50 people.
However, it also confirms that the executioner was given the punishment he deserved.
Skynet is magnificent, sparse but not leaky. If Zhou Nan was not afraid of affecting his international image, he would have been eager to learn from the Jews and set up a revenge fund.
As long as the executioner is not punished by the law, he will face a global hunt.
But he couldn't.
Retaining his current image of neutrality and moderation is more conducive to his slow change in the world.
Now that the two major enemies have gone to one, it's time to think about the next one.
However, he will first make a trip to Oslo, Norway, to claim this year's Peace Prize.
