Chapter 277: "Rabe's Diary" is released
This large-scale search lasted only a week before it was stopped. Undercover investigation instead. Whoever knows that in a week's time, if Hatohiko Asakamiya was going to die, he would have died a long time ago. At this time, Chen Tian finally sent a map drawn according to the confession of Hatohiko of Asakanomiya. On the back of the map, there is dense small print, which is all the information provided by Hatohiko Asakanomiya related to the Golden Lily Project.
At the same time as the disappearance of Hatohiko Asakanomiya, the work of the prosecution team headed by Joseph Jinan of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was finally concluded.
Joseph Jinan, in court, in his final statement, said: "Ladies and gentlemen! Honorable court, honorable judges of the Allied powers! All the defendants participated in the preparation or execution of this common plan, which was intended to enable Japan to gain military, political, and economic control over the countries of the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. ”
"To this end, Japan, alone or in conjunction with other countries of the same aim, has waged a war of aggression against those that oppose this aim. I, as well as all my colleagues in the Mission, have proved through our efforts and evidence that the conspiracy for the above purposes, as well as the crime, are justified. ”
"Throughout the history of human civilization, the cruelty, cruelty, and extermination of humanity used by the Japanese to invade other countries are truly rare. Countless lives have painfully disappeared under the guns and butcher's knives of the Japanese invaders' ambitions, and their behavior is a challenge to human civilization! It is a challenge to peace! It's a challenge to the world! ”
"The purpose of their joint crime was to ensure the dominance of the Japanese emperor. There is no more serious crime than waging and committing a war of aggression! The security of the people of the world is threatened by this conspiracy! Destroyed by this war! The only result of this conspiracy is to cause the whole world to suffer death and suffering! ”
"So, I, Joseph Jinan. On behalf of all my colleagues in the Allied Powers Mission, I solemnly request to the President of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and the judges that you should severely punish these defendants who launched and carried out wars of aggression! With a just heart, in the name of goodness, and in the wish of mankind, please severely punish these defendants who started and carried out wars of aggression! ”
Subsequently. President Wilber announced: "This is the end of all the hearings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East!" The Tribunal now declares that all the accused are awaiting sentencing! The International Military Tribunal for the Far East is now adjourned until the date of the verdict! ”
Then, President Wilber struck the hammer, and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East ended. Subsequently, the eleven justices discussed the convictions of all Class A war criminals in this trial.
All important proceedings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. All of them were conducted through a conference of judges convened by eleven justices. In order to maintain strict secrecy and maintain the impartiality of the court. Eleven justices reached a consensus at the beginning of the session of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.
Participation in the Conference of Judges is restricted to the judges themselves. No other person may participate in the substitute for the judge himself, except for the Soviet judge who does not know English, and no other judge is allowed to bring a secretary to the judges' conference. Moreover, the secretaries of the judges of the USSR were also required to take an oath to keep the contents of the meetings of the judges confidential.
Except that the content of the judges' conference is absolutely not allowed to be made public. For the sake of confidentiality, no minutes are also left at the Judges' Conference.
Though. During and after the trial, all the justices who attended the Judges' Conference were ostensibly very committed to their oaths and professional ethics. None of the judges participating in the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has disclosed the details of the meeting of the judges, either in public or in a recorded private setting.
However, there are a few key elements. It was still leaked out in later generations. It may not be clear which justice did it, but it is clear that there are some things that are more important to some judges than professional ethics.
The most interesting of these important elements is the final vote on whether the death penalty will be used for these war criminals. And the results of the vote. It was six votes in favor and five votes against, and by one vote, seven people, including Hideki Tojo and Kenji Dohihara, were narrowly sent to the gallows.
This is not because the judges themselves are not aware of the crimes of the Japanese, but because the judges come from different countries and follow different legal systems.
The definition of a legal system in jurisprudence is the law of a number of countries and regions with a common legal tradition. It is a general term for a legal phenomenon that transcends countries and regions. According to the basic characteristics of the laws of all countries in the world, jurists divide the legal systems followed by all the countries in the world into five types, namely the European civil law system, the common law system, the yi Silan (homonym) law system, the Indian law system and the Chinese law system.
From this classification, it can be seen that the formation of a legal system is fundamentally based on a unique and influential civilization. Except for the common law system, which was formed in modern times, the formation and inheritance of the other four legal systems have a history of thousands of years.
The eleven justices are from the United States, the United Kingdom, China, the Soviet Union, Canada, France, Australia, the Netherlands, India, New Zealand, and the Philippines, and their legal backgrounds include at least four legal systems. As a result, the standards for sentencing began to diversify.
Some judges advocated heavier sentences, and all of these Class A war criminals would be put on the gallows. Some judges, such as Judge Parr in India, have acquitted all the defendants. Not to mention going to the gallows, you don't even have to squat in prison. The Soviet Union and Australia had abolished the death penalty at that time, so it was still necessary to consider whether to impose the death penalty on these Japanese war criminals, although the Japanese offended both the Soviets and Australians very much.
So, when Wilber announced that the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was over, the internal contest of the eleven justices began. Each tried to convince the other to sentence the war criminals in accordance with their own legal background.
However, there are certain things that can make these justices put aside the controversy for the time being and focus on it together, such as the release of the film "Rabe's Diary" directed by Yu Sheng.
This version of "Rabe's Diary" filmed for the rest of his life is completely different from the version filmed by the later French director Florey Gallenberg. For the rest of his life, he did not make up the scenes of the Nanjing Massacre in a strong way. When it comes to the atrocities of the Japanese in Nanjing, he does not use actors to express it, but uses real historical documentary images.
And the scene without a specific real recorded image, the rest of his life will try his best to restore it according to Rabe's description in the diary, if it can't be restored, it doesn't matter. Because Rabe is still alive today. Yu Sheng sent Qing Xiaoyi to fly to Germany several times. According to Qing Xiaoyi's arrangement, the images of the fall of Nanjing were gradually restored.
Human nature, in fact, is to avoid the truth. That's why I believe in dreams and something gorgeous. Once faced with the truth, it will feel boring and boring. It's hard to beat. You have to go through your own psychological modification when you see it before you can accept it.
And the rest of his life is to use this real touch, he did not avoid the wanton slaughter of the Japanese in Nanjing, burning, killing and looting, killing and killing competition to exterminate humanity, and the bloody floating corpses stained with the red river.
When it comes to the atrocities of the Japanese, he pursues truth in every shot. Ditch all photography techniques such as montage. From the perspective of a real onlooker, it records a real scene in the city of Nanjing. Such a shooting. is like a person who has no photography skills in later generations, holding a mobile phone to shoot randomly.
It's crude, but it's true. When blood splattered and countless Chinese fell in front of the guns of the Japanese army, no one would think that this was acting. Therefore, there is a particularly heart-rending pain.
However, movies are related to people's dreams after all. The rest of his life is working on the story of building a safe zone with Rabe. He gave up on the pursuit of realistic lens performance. Instead, he pursues a story-like dream, how warm and how the scene is arranged. Rabe acts as kindly as he wants, and he is not afraid of exaggeration.
And the scene of Rabe sitting under an oil lamp, writing a letter to protest against the Japanese and calculating how much rice and salt is left in the safe zone, was photographed for the rest of his life as comfortable and comfortable as his own home.
A diabetic and unwell-behaved Rabe, in the dim light. "Dr. Smyth called and said: We have 60,000 bags of rice in the city and 35,000 bags of rice in Xiaguan. That might be enough. What we lacked was mats for temporary shelter (straw huts). It's cold, and in any case, people have to be accommodated. ……”
Just like the man who is the breadwinner of the family, he calculates the cost of life in the future.
Although this shooting technique. Exaggerated. But this is exactly what the rest of his life is looking for, and the reality of the Japanese is incomparably harsh and bloody, and it is a stark and strong contrast to the heavenly refuge that Rabe has created.
It is like the irreconcilable opposition between angels and demons, Buddhas and demons, light and darkness. It makes the beautiful more beautiful and the ugly more ugly. In the extremely strong contrast, it is difficult for the audience not to be impressed.
Of course, it is also difficult to be ugly. The Japanese in Nanjing, not only killed people and set fires, but also regarded Nanjing as a huge brothel. There are tens of thousands of cases of bullying of women, and there are countless cases that have not been recorded. According to the records in Rabe's Diary alone, there are thousands of cases.
If you want to truly represent the Nanjing Massacre for the rest of your life, you can't avoid this. However, to shoot this shot, a large number of young women were needed. And, it's a young woman who is willing to take some revealing shots in front of everyone and show them to the public!
In this still conservative era, it is difficult to find one or two such women, not to mention, in order to truly express the brutality of the Japanese, you need to find a dozen or even dozens of them!
In the end, it was Qing Xiaoyi who solved this problem. Others don't have this resource, but Qing Xiaoyi does. There are dozens of young and beautiful women under her command, but because they were deceived into becoming comfort women dedicated by the Japanese to the Americans, and they hate both the Japanese and the Americans very much.
These dozens of women, because of their experience as comfort women, have almost no bottom line in terms of body exposure, and they can be regarded as broken jars. Moreover, out of hatred for the Japanese and Americans, as well as loyalty to Qing Xiaoyi, there is no psychological barrier to playing these Chinese women who have been harmed by the Japanese.
Moreover, this matter was not asked by Qing Xiaoyi to do it, but after Qing Shui Shitong learned the news, as soon as she said it to these women, these women took the initiative to ask for it. These women took the initiative to meet Qing Xiaoyi and wanted to get this opportunity to perform. You can even not be paid, as long as you promise them for the rest of your life that you will help them when they seek justice from the Japanese upper echelons in the future.
Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi only then knew that these women's plans were not small, not only to seek justice for themselves, but also to gather the strength of the comfort women in Japan, South Korea, China and other Asian countries who were harmed by the Japanese, and force the Japanese government to apologize and compensate these comfort women.
With such a legitimate request, how could he not agree to it for the rest of his life.
With the promise of such a powerful figure as the rest of their lives, these Japanese women work very hard when acting. After all, these women have been stumbling for years. For this matter, it is very familiar. After a scene, these women vividly expressed the brutality of the Japanese in Nanjing. At least for the rest of my life, the one who screamed was a miserable one. In contrast, the Chinese woman played by Zhang Jing for the first time, whether it is acting skills and scale, is simply weak.
Such a movie is extremely real, but it is clear between good and evil. After reading it, I felt that my heart was torn and the pain was unbearable. However, according to the rules for movie release at this time, such a movie is simply yellow and violent. Not to mention the Hays Code, even in Japan, it is difficult to pass the censorship.
Therefore, the most difficult thing about the rest of the life version of "Rabe's Diary" is not filming, but passing the review and release. In order to cut a few shots less, Yu Sheng used almost all the network resources at hand. Including Warner Bros., Meyer, James Stewart, and even MacArthur and the British royal family.
In this way, this seemingly yellow and violent "Rabe's Diary" was successfully released.
After its release, "Rabe's Diary" hit the highest premiere box office in the United States, Japan, and even Europe and West Germany in the past decade. A day later, "Rabe's Diary" surpassed the box office records set by Schindler's List and Life is Beautiful, which were filmed for the rest of his life.
No one would be tolerated by such bestiality of the Japanese, and no one would be unmoved by such good deeds of Rabe. When the audience who watched the movie "Rabe's Diary" learned that Rabe is now in Germany, not only suffering from diabetes, but also not living a rich life, they took the initiative to donate money and remit it to Germany.
For a time, Rabe, who was originally just a huge spiritual wealth, really became a rich man. (To be continued.) )
