Chapter 1634: That Year
The governments of various powers, led by the Americans, denounced on radio and television the irrationality and injustice of Lu Yuan's private court outside the Tokyo courtroom, and even said that if Lu Yuan had to convict those Japanese soldiers who had surrendered and even the Japanese emperor in accordance with his own trial, he would not rule out the possibility of using force.
Among them, the British government is definitely the most active, and even secretly plots to use this incident as an opportunity to tear up the unfair treaties signed by Lu Yuan on Hong Kong under duress with penicillin, and once again bring Hong Kong under the rule of Her Majesty the Queen.
As a countermeasure against Lu Yuan, Hong Kong's radio and television broadcasts the news to the world day and night, allowing those civilians and soldiers who had been poisoned by the Japanese army to come forward and tell the truth, cry out about the inhumane acts of the Japanese, and add fuel to the fire of the heinous bloody cases committed by the Japanese army.
"You are high up and don't care, because you haven't suffered the suffering of our compatriots, you won't understand how painful it is to watch your relatives and compatriots die tragically under the guns of the Japanese, you won't understand how much hatred you feel when you watch your wife and daughter sisters being humiliated to death by the Japanese army, and how much you hate to watch young babies being picked up and laughed on bayonets by those brutes......"
Speaking of sadness, Lu Yuan is directly on the radio and you cry.
At the same time, in the name of the people, Lu Yuan made the strongest refutation and accusation against Britain and the United States and other powers for using force as a threat to force himself to give up the conviction of the Japanese army and the Japanese emperor, saying that if Britain and the United States and other countries resorted to force against Hong Kong, their actions would be no different from those of Nazi Germany and militarist Japan!
This big hat was buttoned down, and it caused an uproar around the world!
The name of Lu Yuan's heroes has long been spread throughout Europe and the United States.
Listening to the gnashing of teeth of hatred in the whole country because of the atrocities of the Japanese on the radio and television, and the people of all countries who were bullied under Nazi rule and felt the suffering of these Chinese in the Japanese aggression, they were even more angry, and Lu Yuan's speech completely ignited the fire of justice burning in the hearts of the people of all countries.
Such a big hero, the embodiment of justice, is broadcasting that you cry like a helpless baby, if you don't get to the sad place, who will believe it?
As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place!
Large-scale demonstrations broke out in major cities in Britain and the United States, expressing support for Hong Kong, expressing support for Lu Yuan, but also strongly condemning the hegemonic behavior of the government, demanding that the British and American governments not interfere in Lu Yuan's trial.
In the midst of these solidarity and protests, Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation to execute more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers who were sentenced to be shot!
Britain, the United States, and other governments gritted their teeth with hatred and strongly condemned them, but newspapers and radio stations in various countries said one after another that these Japanese soldiers deserved their crimes, that they deserved to be punished for their crimes, and that they were so happy that they were killed and that they even suppressed the condemnation and condemnation of various governments.
"Lu Yuan, this bastard, demagoguery, why didn't he become an actor? Chaplin was a clumsy clown compared to him......"
"Damn it, damn it......"
When the British and American high-level saw the news of the execution of more than 20,000 Japanese troops, they were simply mad, and Lu Yuan executed so many Japanese soldiers under their intervention, it was like slapping them in the face in front of billions of people around the world, leaving them with no face.
If you have the intention to resort to force, but in the face of public opinion, you will not only not get any support, but will also confirm the name of the Nazis.
Therefore, although Churchill Roosevelt, MacArthur and others vomited blood in anger, they could only endure it again and again, and they could not bear it, and they had to endure it again.
Of course, they were not willing to be played by Lu Yuan in the palm of their hands, and they joined forces to blockade and sanction Hong Kong, and at the same time vigorously supported Chairman Chiang, who was full of contradictions with Lu Yuan, and looked forward to borrowing Chiang's hand to clean up Lu Yuan after Chiang's strength grew.
In this case, Lu Yuan had to make a certain degree of compromise through Yang Muqi, Mardehi and others who constantly contacted the British and American sides.
Although the decision to revoke the remaining 70,000 Japanese soldiers who were sentenced to 100 years in prison or life imprisonment and re-education through labor was not revoked, he still said through the radio that out of humanitarian considerations, as long as the Japanese side is willing to pay the fines for war criminals, these Japanese soldiers who have been convicted and sentenced to re-education through labor can be brought back and reunited with their families, in exchange for the lifting of the blockade and sanctions on Hong Kong by the powers of various countries.
Of course, the price is outrageous, and the fine for each prisoner of war is as high as 10,000 US dollars, and if you pay the fine, you can take someone away!
70,000 prisoners of war, and the fine alone amounted to a terrifying $700 million!
This is a fantasy for the collapsed Japanese Empire, wanting to come up with so much money at once, but it is obvious that the Yankees no longer want to help the Japanese get involved in this matter, after all, Lu Yuan's concession has given them a step down, and if they continue to get involved, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be unable to get off the stage as before, and they will be disgraced.
After hearing that paying the fine can allow their relatives to return to China, the people in Japan are boiling, and they have petitioned the government to raise their own funds to welcome those prisoners of war back to China, after all, they have seen Lu Yuan's iron-blooded methods, and they don't want their relatives to continue to stay in Lu Yuan's hands, and they don't know when they will die like dust.
The Japanese government had to contact Lu Yuan, hoping to take the people back first and give the money slowly in installments, but Lu Yuan refused, in a word, pay the money and release the people!
In order to raise the fine, Japan had to mobilize the whole country again and tighten its belts to raise money.
This money has allowed Luyuan's various research laboratories in Hong Kong to obtain valuable R&D funds, and various R&D work has been carried out on a large scale, while Japan, because of this money, has made the already almost collapsed situation more difficult, and the reconstruction work in all aspects has been delayed for two or three years before it can be started.
Of course, although Lu Yuan said that the money would be released, but after the Japanese money was delivered, Lu Yuan delayed in the name of various censorships, on the one hand, forcing these Japanese prisoners to work in Taiwan, and in Hong Kong and other places to open mines on a large scale, infrastructure projects, etc., and by the time all these Japanese prisoners of war returned to China, two or three years had passed, and the angry Japanese side almost wanted to vomit blood, but could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
