After the 105-minute video was played, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East adjourned for half an hour to allow the people involved in the trial to rest before the trial began.

Sure enough, the Japanese lawyers' team did not approve of the video taken by John Magee. Kiyose Ichiro said to Wilbur: "Mr. President, although we know that from the end of 1937 to the beginning of 1938, something must have happened in Nanjing, and perhaps Mr. John Magee was also in Nanjing, but it does not mean that this image is real. ”

"If someone had helped Mr. John Magee, he 'acted' some of the scenes in this video in a way that is unique to the film. Moreover, for some reason, Mr. John Magee forcibly alleged that this video was taken in Nanking in late 1937 and early 1938. It is also quite possible. ”

"And it's funny in itself that an American becomes a witness for the Chinese. We can admit that there have been deaths in war, but not every war will be as John Magee imagined. The way of warfare in Asia is completely different from that of Europe and the United States. Mr. John Magee chooses the scenes and images in his own way, and when it seems that he does not distort the facts, he has in fact distorted the war. ”

The words of the Japanese lawyer group are strong, and while questioning John Magee, they are pointing to the rest of their lives. avoided talking about historical details, and just blindly questioned the character of Yu Sheng and John Magee. And Joseph Kinan, who was in charge of rebutting the Japanese lawyers' team, asked rhetorically: "In that case, who do you think is credible?" ”

Kiyose Ichiro smiled: "Of course, it was the people who lived in Nanjing back then." Moreover, a certain number must be required to be valid. ”

Most of the information channels that the Japanese lawyer group can control today are in Japan. But because of the American occupation. Limited tightness, too. As a result of the defeat of the Japanese, the intelligence agencies deployed by the Japanese overseas collapsed as if they were withering and decaying.

In 1946, the Japanese simply did not have an effective information channel in China. Therefore, there is no way to grasp the information about China, because the entry and exit are controlled by the Americans. Therefore, these Japanese lawyers do not know exactly how many witnesses have entered the country. For the rest of his life, he is also secretive about this.

Judging from the information collected by the Japanese lawyers' group, although they knew that Yu Sheng had sent people back to China to look for witnesses to the Nanjing Massacre. However, it is not known how effective the search will be. To the best of their knowledge, as a result of the successful implementation of the delaying strategy of the Japanese lawyers' group, a large number of Allied witnesses for the prosecution. I had to quit my job and stay in Tokyo.

In addition, a large number of witnesses are very anxious because of the heavy responsibility of providing for their families, and many of them have already applied to leave Tokyo and refuse to testify in court. Therefore, according to the estimation of the Japanese lawyers' team, even if they can find witnesses for the rest of their lives. Nor will there be a lot. And these witnesses are not legal professionals, far more than John Magee, who has a family background as a lawyer. It's a lot easier to deal with.

Therefore, the Japanese lawyers' group will take the initiative to ask Chinese witnesses to appear.

And Yu Sheng, Xiang Zhejun and Mei Ruxuan, and even Joseph Ji Nan are waiting for the Japanese. After the Japanese lawyer group made this request, their faces were strange. And the eleven justices who tried Japanese war criminals and knew in advance also put on a look of watching a good show.

President Wilbur has long been overwhelmed by the rogue defense of the Japanese lawyers. When I heard that the Japanese lawyer team was ready to lift a stone and hit myself in the foot. Almost without hesitation, he announced: "I agree to the request of the Japanese lawyer." ”

Joseph Ji Nan said: "Then, we invite 936 Chinese witnesses who personally experienced the atrocities of the Japanese in Nanjing to appear!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the jaws of the Japanese were shocked, but everyone who was really on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East exclaimed. Except for the rest of his life and a few insiders. Everyone was stunned!

This is the power that Mei Rujiao and Xiang Zhejun have won from the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and they agree that the International Military Tribunal for the Far East will select only representative witnesses to testify in court. But it is also required that the right of everyone to appear in court be retained.

These 936 Chinese, according to the prior drill, lined up to enter the venue. Silence. In just a few minutes, the trial hall of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was full. Many foreign journalists were surprised and exclaimed: "This is simply a miracle!" ”

After entering the venue, the nearly 1,000 Chinese took the oath in unison according to the oath they had said for the rest of their lives: "Although I do not believe in any religion, I can swear by my relatives who died at the hands of the Japanese, by my own bloodline, and by the souls of countless people who died in battle. Not a single point more, not a single point less! ”

There is a saying that there is great strength in numbers. When 936 Chinese took the oath in unison, all the noisy voices at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East disappeared, and only the neat voices of the Chinese echoed, masking all noise.

And the Japanese lawyer team, which has always been arrogant, is silent at this time. There is no other reason, but the difference in numbers. Although there are nearly 100 members of the Japanese lawyers' team. However, most of the lawyers do not appear in court every day, and most of their work is spent in various archives looking for materials that can clear the guilt of Class A war criminals. Or, it is to go out to find witnesses to the relevant incident.

At this time, only a few dozen Japanese lawyers remained at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. The difference in numbers is twenty to one!

People may be able to withstand the hateful gaze of others, but there is also a limit, and one or two may not matter. Those with stronger psychological quality are about the same, five or six or seven. But once there are more than twenty hateful eyes looking at oneself at the same time, it is estimated that the individual will not be calm. No matter how shameless this person is, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't do it.

And the Chinese have nearly a thousand. These nearly 1,000 eyes are like an invisible sharp blade around the Japanese lawyer group and the Japanese Class A war criminals who are no longer powerful. It seems that as long as these people dare to move, they will be cut by a thousand knives.

President Wilbur was also very satisfied with the silence of the Japanese lawyers, but in order to maintain order in the courtroom, he hammered: "These witnesses have the right to prove historical facts." We will also listen carefully to the testimony of each witness in court and carefully read the materials written by each witness. However, in order to maintain order in the courtroom. We will select the appropriate witnesses to appear in court according to the specific content of the rebuttal. ”

"Now, the witnesses are invited to rest in the witness lounge."

Under such circumstances, no matter how clever the Japanese lawyer team is, it will not be able to withstand the overwhelming number of Chinese witnesses. Not to mention the ironclad evidence, the testimony of Chinese witnesses can corroborate each other. It's hard to argue. Even if it is scolding, these members of the Japanese lawyer team can't support it.

The Chinese language has one of the richest vocabulary in the world, including the most swearable words and the way in which it swears. If it is really a simultaneous interpretation to these Japanese lawyers, you have to scold these Japanese lawyers for doubting life.

As a result, the Japanese team of lawyers quickly retreated. Originally, the historical entanglements, clever tongues, and false denials did not appear at all. It is considered Chinese to Japanese. A vivid, refreshing victory.

After taking into account the testimony of all parties, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, in its verdict in the case of the Nanjing Massacre, wrote: "On the morning of December 13, 1937, when the Japanese entered the city, they met no resistance at all. ”

"The Japanese soldiers came to degrade the city like a bunch of indulgent barbarians."

"The city of Nanking fell into the hands of the Japanese like a captured bait; The city does not appear to be occupied by organized combat units; The victorious Japanese captured their bait and committed untold atrocities. ”

"The Japanese troops roamed the city individually or in groups of two or three, arbitrarily committing murders, rapes, looting, and arson, and there was no discipline at all. Many Japanese soldiers were very drunk. Walking the streets, the Chinese men, women and children who have not offended them at all are slaughtered without any reason and indiscriminately. Eventually, the streets and alleys were littered with the bodies of the slain. ”

"The Chinese are hunted like rabbits, and they are shot if they see that person move."

"As a result of this indiscriminate massacre, at least 12,000 non-combatant Chinese men, women, and children were killed in the first two or three days of the Japanese occupation of Nanjing."

"In the first month after the occupation, there were about 20,000 rapes in the city of Nanjing."

"Most of the girls in the city, whether they were young girls or old women, were raped."

……

It stands to reason. The language of the court's judgment should be a statement of truth and facts, and it should be rigorous, not a slightly emotional metaphor and narrative. The fact that the International Military Tribunal for the Far East left such a verdict shows the tragic situation and dehumanization of the Nanjing Massacre in those years, and the impact on ordinary people who had nothing to do with the Nanjing Massacre!

Ultimately. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East made a final judgment on the number of Chinese deaths in the Nanjing Massacre carried out by the Japanese through the Red Cross and Chongshantang.

The verdict of the International Tribunal for the Far East reads: "In the first six weeks after the Japanese occupation, the total number of civilians and prisoners massacred in and around Nanking amounted to more than 200,000. This estimate is not an exaggeration, as evidenced by the fact that 155,000 bodies were buried by burial teams and other groups. ”

At the same time, the court's verdict solemnly stated: "This figure does not include the corpses burned by the Japanese army, as well as those who threw themselves into the Yangtze River or were otherwise disposed of." ”

In fact, the calculation method of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is too conservative. In accordance with the common law principle that no evidence can be ascertained, many massacres in which the Japanese erased evidence were excluded. The figure of 200,000 people is mainly derived from the 43,071 bones buried by the Red Cross, 112,266 bones collected by the Chongshan Church, and a number of recorded massacres.

But in fact, after the Chinese were massacred by the Japanese army, there were many examples of burning corpses. At the same time, this figure only counts the massacres carried out within six weeks, and the sporadic small-scale massacres of Chinese by the Japanese army have not stopped since the beginning of the war.

Therefore, the real death toll, although it cannot be counted, must be above 300,000! Later generations only said 300,000, which is already too rigorous!

And the losses that the Chinese pay attention to and emphasize in later generations are only in human life. After the Japanese entered Nanjing, the property of the Chinese looted was not emphasized at all. This is an undeserved neglect.

Nanjing is known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Whether it is the upper class or the people, the accumulated wealth is incalculable. There are even more cultural monuments, and after the Japanese entered the city, they carried out large-scale destruction and looting.

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East summed it up in a nutshell: "The Japanese soldiers robbed the common people of whatever they wanted. According to eyewitnesses, Japanese soldiers called unarmed civilians in the streets, searched their bodies, and shot them if they could not find anything of value. Countless homes and shops have been broken into and looted. The looted supplies were transported by truck. ”

"After Japanese soldiers looted shops and warehouses, they often set fire to them. Taiping Road, which lined the most important shops, was burned down, and the city's commercial districts were burned down one by one. The Japanese soldiers burned down the homes of civilians for no apparent reason. The fires continued for six weeks, as if planned, after a few days, so that about a third of the city was burned. ”

The trial of the Nanjing Massacre was not reported by the Japanese media, intentionally or unintentionally. After all, although the Americans occupy Japan, they are veritable managers. However, most of the people who work are Japanese. Most of the Japanese still avoided this war, neither willing to admit the consequences of their crimes and bear the consequences, nor willing to see Japan "doubly humiliated" because of the consequences.

You can only use an ostrich mentality and bury your head in the sand. However, I don't plan to let these Japanese go for the rest of my life. Towards the end of the Nanjing Massacre trial, the testimony of 936 Chinese witnesses, including the testimony of Yu Sheng, had been collected and published.

In addition, it is published in Chinese, Japanese, and English at the same time. Distribute goods in Japan, China, and the United States at the same time! The Japanese can't avoid it if they want to. Of course, Yu Sheng had already expected that the book would not sell much in Japan. Therefore, all of them were made into pseudo-Chinese Chinese text forms. In addition, it has been set as a required reading list for the history subject of the school under his name.

In China, the collection and publication of these 936 witness statements was very popular. The first printing of 30,000 copies, each set of three copies, was sold out almost instantly. Many books of this era have a lot of prints, but they are only more than 10,000 copies. That's it, it won't sell for ten or eight years.

30,000 sets of books, 90,000 copies, can be sold to this extent, it can be regarded as a hot seller. Of course, it was not the testimony of these 936 witnesses that were even more popular, but the simultaneous publication of "Rabe's Diary" and "Weitling's Diary".
