Chapter 243: Preparing Evidence

Okawa Shuming is not crazy at all. He was able to be identified as mentally ill by doctors entirely because he himself was already at the top end of the academic field, and with his academic ability, he had no problem playing with a few psychiatrists and psychiatrists.

Although he was a fanatical Japanese militarist, he was second to none in terms of his talents. Scholarly gods like Joseph Jinan and Sir Wilber can generally be counted as the elite of mankind. Even to be called a genius is not too much. And Okawa Zhouming's academic achievements are far higher than these two, and he can simply be called a demon. Just like Gu Hongming in China.

A graduate of Tokyo Imperial University in 1911, he speaks at least eight languages, namely Japanese, Chinese, Sanskrit, Arabic, Greek, German, French and English, and holds a doctorate in law from Tokyo Imperial University.

He himself has studied human civilization in depth, and it can be seen from the language he studied that Shuming Okawa has at least studied the East Asian civilization centered on China, the Central Asian and West Asian civilizations centered on the Arab world, the South Asian civilization centered on ancient India, the ancient Western civilization centered on ancient Greece, and the modern Western civilization centered on Britain, France, and Germany.

Learning together, different paths to the same end. Just like in later generations, whether it is the study of film, literature, law, advertising, or marketing, the final return point will be the study of the psychology and structure of the human being. Semiotics, psychoanalysis, various philosophies, etc., became the basis that underpinned these disciplines.

What Shuaki Okawa did before and during World War II was to invade other countries for the Japanese. Look for theoretical support. It is an attempt to construct a complete theoretical system of Great Japanism and Greater Asianism. He is a leading advocate of racist theories in Japan.

He is the author of "Some Problems in the Revival of Asia" (1922), "A Study of the Japanese Spirit" (1924), "A Study of the System of Franchise Societies" (1927), "A Textbook of National History" (1931), "The 2,600-Year History of Japan" (1939), and "The History of the East Asian Aggression of the United States and Britain" (1941, which was the best-selling book in Japan during World War II). It has a great influence in Japan, so it is classified as a Class A war criminal.

Zhou Ming Okawa is well versed in human civilization. Nature is well aware of the structure of human thought, and the mental program itself. It's easy to use the logic of a madman to trick a doctor who has a mental state assessment but is far less knowledgeable than him. After being transferred to a Japanese-controlled hospital, it was even more difficult to determine whether he was really mentally ill because he was surrounded by "his own people" of Shuaki Okawa.

By November 1948, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East had pronounced its verdict. Okawa Zhouming is still pretending to be crazy and stupid. And the day after the International Military Tribunal for the Far East announced its dissolution, his mental illness was cured. Afterwards, Okawa Zhouming admitted very proudly. He's not crazy at all!

As Mei Ruxuan later commented on Dachuan Zhouming's pretending to be crazy and stupid: "This is a mockery of legal justice." However, the inherent shortcomings of the common law system made Mei Rujiao and others helpless against Okawa Zhouming.

However, Mei Ruxuan and Xiang Zhejun had no choice. But it doesn't mean that you don't have it for the rest of your life. The level of danger of the person. Comparable to Ishihara Wan'er, if he doesn't die, he won't be at ease. He was not a judge for the rest of his life, and since he crossed over to Shanghai Tang, he lived by assassinating the Japanese.

After Zhou Ming Okawa was dragged out of the courtroom, the official trial began. The Japanese war criminals had worked so hard to find a lawyer, and it was finally starting to work.

In Wilber announced: "Now, the plea arraignment is held for the indictment filed by the prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. After that, the defense lawyer of the Japanese, Ichiro Kiyose. Then he got up and responded: "I ask the president, Mr. Wilber, to recuse himself from this trial!" ”

After this request is made. There was an uproar.

Prosecutor Joseph Dinan responded: "Anyone who has any objection to the court should do so in writing, it is a despicable sneak attack for no reason, as despicable as you Japanese attacked our Pearl Harbor back then!" ”

Kiyose Ichiro said, "I insist on my request!" And, I dispute the qualifications of all the judges in the court! ”

President Wilbur was so angry that he dropped all his headphones. It was still the people around him, including Mei Ruxuan, who soothed: "Calm down! Calm! If you're angry, you've fallen for it! Wilbur suppressed his anger and put his headphones back on.

Ichiro Kiyose continued: "This trial is entirely based on the arrogance and prejudice of the chauvinism of the great powers, and according to the folk rule that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain, to control the lives of these public servants who have worked so hard for peace and common prosperity in Asia!" ”

"I have serious doubts about the impartiality of the courts! Saddens also for the dignity of the law! ”

Wilbur was so angry that he struck the hammer and said, "Quiet! Defendant lawyer, the courtroom is not a place for you to preach theories and conditions! Because the first proposal you made concerns me personally, I ask for recusal! I am willing to listen to the decision of the Judges' Conference! ”

Of course, Wilbur said this, which is about the same as cheating. He is the chief justice appointed by the Americans. I don't have a good impression of Japanese people. The other 10 judges present here, no matter how brain-dead, could not have expelled him from the judicial team. Therefore, Wilber is very confident that he is willing to listen to the decision of the judges' conference.

Of course, Kiyose Ichiro also understood this truth, so he continued: "I don't think that the other ten judges are also qualified to be judges of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East!" Therefore, the decision of the Council of Judges will not be fair either! I'm against it! ”

Although Kiyose Ichiro looks as thin as a monkey, he is surprisingly bold. This objection offended almost all the eleven justices. Of course, the Japanese themselves were opposed to these eleven Allied judges. So, there is nothing to lose by doing things absolutely well. This is also in line with the character of the Japanese.

Wilbur laughed angrily and asked Kiyose Ichiro, "Then what do you think can be considered justice?" ”

Kiyose Ichiro said: "Of course, it will be tried by the Federal Supreme Court of the United States of America!" ”

No matter how good Wilbur is with the Americans, he can't stand being despised by Ichiro Kiyose. Hit the hammer hard and said, "! Adjournment now! ”

Eleven judges immediately left the courtroom and left the courtroom. Wilber roared: "An international tribunal composed of legal authorities sent by a country and with decades of experience in the field is not as credible as a federal court of a country!" This is simply a provocation by the Japanese! ”

"Because it's about me. So. I am willing to listen to the decision of the Judges' Conference! ”

These eleven justices, no matter which country they are sent, are all elites among the people, how can they not hear Ichiro Kiyose's divisive plan! Therefore, Wilbur's position is naturally unshakable.

However, Kiyose Ichiro did not expect these small schemes to shake the team of Allied judges. All he did was to execute the team of Japanese defense lawyers. It's just a delayed strategy that has been discussed.

In fact, the Charter of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has loopholes. Since there are no hard and fast rules on the number and nationality of defence lawyers, so. The Japanese seized on this loophole and hired a huge team of lawyers. In addition to several Japanese lawyers hired by each of the defendants, each of the accused war criminals was defended by an American lawyer who was familiar with the common law system.

So. There are many defence lawyers who have been interrogated about war criminals. and the noise brought by these people has become the biggest attraction of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. Such a thing could not have happened at the Nuremberg International Tribunal, where all the defence counsel for the accused had to go through strict scrutiny, but anyone who had anything to do with Hitler would not be allowed to serve as defence counsel.

At the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, this review was skipped.

The Japanese defense team has a total of hundreds of people. And it's organized. It was established before the opening of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. And among these people. The leader is Ichiro Kiyose, who defended Hideki Tojo.

This person was not famous originally, but because he was considered by the Japanese to be excellent at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, he grabbed a lot of connections and political capital. He is very active in the afterlife. The Japanese, led by him, believed that a direct clash between the United States and the Soviets was coming, and that the Third World War was about to begin.

Therefore, their defense is not only to exonerate war criminals, but also to delay time. Once World War III really began, the Americans would inevitably use Japan as a bridgehead. And at that time, these Japanese war criminals, whether guilty or not. It will be retained by the Americans on the basis of cooperation with the Japanese.

Delaying time is the main purpose of this group of people! Therefore, all the details that can be said or not said will be used by the Japanese to make a fuss, and the trial will proceed very slowly.

It has to be said that this group of Japanese people basically judged the situation correctly, and the relations between the United States and Japan, as well as the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, really developed as expected. It's just that it hasn't been delayed long enough. Therefore, this group of war criminals, damned it, are all dead. The second and third batches of Class A war criminals, who were originally expected to be tried, were released by MacArthur one after another after 1947.

The Japanese strategy was half the battle.

After the eleven judges returned to the courtroom, the United States Judge Higgins announced: "After unanimous discussion among our ten judges, it is concluded that the judges, in accordance with Article II of the Charter of the Tribunal, are appointed by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Powers on the recommendation of the Governments." ”

"Therefore, we have no authority to decide on the appointment or dismissal or recusal of any of us!"

After Judge Higgins finished speaking, Wieber said in a slightly angry tone: "The twenty-eight defendants here, guilty or innocent, must be tried by this military tribunal!" Next, proceed to the plea arraignment! ”

"Defendants, please find guilty of the charges in the indictment submitted by the prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal!"

The first to be asked was Sadao Araki, and Webber said, "Defendant Sadao Araki, do you consider yourself guilty or innocent?" ”

Sadao Araki replied to the lawyers' team in advance, "I ask the court for permission to be answered by my lawyer!" ”

Wilbur rejected Sadao Araki's request, saying, "The court requires you to answer in person!" ”

Sadao Araki said very confidently, "I'm not guilty! And Araki's answer basically set the tone for the other twenty-seven war criminals who followed. All the Japanese war criminals denied their crimes, saying, "I am not guilty!" ”

Although these Japanese Class A war criminals will not admit their crimes, for Americans, it does not matter whether they admit it or not. The important thing is that they can treat these Japanese Class A war criminals as babies and make an example of them. Before the Americans occupied Japan, they did not intend to destroy Japan completely.

What Americans want is a relatively prosperous and powerful colony, an obedient but sturdy little brother, a thug who can rush to the occasion when the Americans need it. And not a sick place where you are too poor to lose your pants.

So, although the Americans have not yet colluded with the Japanese. However, the Tokyo Trial, which was presided over by the Americans, was actually a performance. The show is for the Japanese to see, and the show is for the whole world.

Americans wish the show had lasted longer. If all these Japan are clicked in a short period of time, how can it reflect the justice of the Americans, and how can it show their respect for individual rights?

Therefore, even though the Americans had the power to review and reduce the team of Japanese lawyers, they did not do it. Just let the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East go on naturally. The camouflage of dozens of Japanese Class-A war criminals was painstakingly peeled back layer by layer, revealing their true guilt.

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East sat for a month and was present almost every day for the rest of his life. And the video recording of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is also non-stop. Over the course of a month, I've accumulated a large box of film.

On this day, Mei Rujiao found Yu Sheng and said to Yu Sheng: "The trial of the Nanjing Massacre will begin in mid-July, and we must prepare early!" ”

Yu Sheng asked Mei Ruxuan, "What do you need to prepare?" ”

"Proof! Whether it is human or physical evidence, direct evidence or indirect evidence, the more the better! The trial unit of the Nanjing Massacre was proposed by me, and it has also attracted considerable attention. It's just that the Japanese are also prepared for this matter. Mei Ruxuan was a little worried.

"When the time comes, the trial will not go very well. We don't know what perjury in the hands of the Japanese can prove their innocence. However, we need a lot of evidence to prove the true history. The more the merrier! ”

"Brother Xiang Zhejun and the two secretaries he brought with him have already begun to search for materials in the archives of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. However, there are too few people who can enter the archives, and the people who are invited by Brother Zhejun with the activity funds prepared by Brother Yu can only operate on the periphery, and the role is really ......"
