Chapter 244: Finding Witnesses
Yu Sheng said: "Instead of collecting evidence in the archives of the Americans, it is better to go back to Nanjing to find evidence!" Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to asking for fish from the wood! ”
Mei Rujiao agreed: "That's what I mean, but neither Brother Xiang nor I can get out." The trials of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East are also not given much attention at home. Too little money has been allocated and not enough personnel. If you want a lot of evidence, you still need Brother Yu to take action. ”
"After finding the evidence, let Brother Xiang Zhejun send someone to go through the motions, just say that he sent someone to find it. Moreover, the atmosphere in the country is not so open. Even if there is really a national hatred and family feud, many people are numb, and with evidence in their hands, they will not dare or do not want to show up because of all kinds of troubles. ”
"This matter still needs the help of Brother Yu! Only with Brother Yu's financial resources and influence can he do this! ”
Yu Sheng smiled and said to Mei Rujiao: "Brother Mei, rest assured, I am responsible for this matter!" I'm going to do everything I can to do it. In addition, I plan to appear in court in person, what does Brother Mei think? ”
Mei Ruxuan was taken aback: "Appear in court in person? Oh, I remember, Brother Yu escaped before the Japanese siege of the city! ”
"That's right, when I was on the run, I crossed the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, his wife was killed by a Japanese machine gun and was seriously wounded. If it weren't for the eyes of the sky, I wouldn't have been able to go to Shanghai and live today! The murderous aura in Yu Sheng's eyes loomed.
After several years, the memories of the predecessor and the memories of oneself have long been fused into one. The huge resentment when the predecessor died, how could he not feel it for the rest of his life! If he didn't do his best in this matter, he would never be at ease for the rest of his life.
And Mei Ruxuan was overjoyed, as a top student of law, he naturally understood the essence of the law, or human feelings. Although it regulates and restricts human behavior. But it can also be influenced by people. No court will fail to take into account the feelings of the people.
Even in later generations, the development of jurisprudence for several decades will not be able to escape this law.
With the status and influence of the rest of his life, if he goes to court, then the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. It is bound to attract the attention of the world. The eyes of the whole of China will also be focused on this trial, and when the time comes, domestic support for the rest of his life will reach an unimaginable level.
Even, because Yu Sheng filmed "Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor", which recorded the outbreak of the Pacific War between the United States and Japan, the Americans will give Yu Sheng huge support. After all, the number of Americans who died in the Pacific War was not small, and when the time came, there was a huge cry from tens of thousands of American families who lost their loved ones on the battlefield. The Americans could not do it if they wanted to favor the Japanese.
In order to appease public opinion, I am afraid that these Japanese Class A war criminals, who are already prisoners, will be dealt with severely. And this is most in line with the expectations of the Chinese.
Mei Rujiao said: "Okay! Good! Good! Brother Yu was able to appear in court, which is really a blessing. When I turned around, I contacted Brother Xiang Zhejun and Brother Yu. As a prosecutor, it's only natural to be in contact with witnesses. You can have a good discussion about how to deal with those Japanese devils! The group of lawyers who defend the Japanese today. But it's getting more and more arrogant! ”
There are not only Japanese lawyers in the legal group of Japanese Class A war criminals. And there are American lawyers. Although most of the so-called American lawyers are based in the United States, the first or second generation of Japanese. However, there are also some native-born American lawyers. These American lawyers have caused a lot of trouble.
On May 14, 1946, during the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the defendant's defense applied for the cancellation of the crime charged in item 39 of the indictment. This crime. It was Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor and the killing of U.S. Admiral Gide and a large number of U.S. Navy officers and sailors.
Blekeney, an American lawyer who defended the Japanese, defended the judge: "If Admiral Jide's death at Pearl Harbor is a murder, then we need to know the name of the man who dropped the atomic bomb in Nagasaki, and we need to know the chief of staff who made the battle plan." We need to know the commander-in-chief who is responsible for all this. ”
The last person Brecley is talking about is actually US President Harry S. Truman. According to the U.S. Constitution, the president is the supreme commander in charge of commanding the nation's armed forces, and in fact he decided to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Although, there is really nothing wrong with this matter in legal theory. However, a lawyer in one country does not care about the sneak attack on his country's army and the death of his own country's people, and goes to defend the war criminals of the other side. It's a bit hard to accept. This is no longer a matter of so-called professional ethics.
When Mei Ruxuan talked about this for the rest of her life, she was also very surprised. At least, at this time, the Chinese lawyers would never defend the Japanese so hard.
Yu Sheng said: "Let the Americans and the Japanese eat the dog, we can't take care of it." There is a good saying that there is power in numbers. I will send people back to Nanjing tomorrow to buy full-page newspapers and look for witnesses to the Nanjing Massacre. At that time, the military commanders suffered a lot of losses from the Japanese, and there was little resistance to this matter. This time, there is no limit to the number of witnesses! ”
"What can the Japanese do, even if they have some perjury? He has a perjury and I could get ten witnesses! He has two perjured testimonies, and I can get a hundred witnesses! The biggest feature of China is that there are many people! Although the Japanese killed 300,000 people back then, there were tens of thousands of people left! ”
"As long as one percent of them are willing to testify in court, these hundreds of pieces of evidence and hundreds of witnesses can pile up those Japanese lawyers alive! And, this time I'm going to invest a lot of money. Although it does not conform to the rules of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, there are no certain benefits, and some people will not come out. ”
"As long as these witnesses are willing to appear in court, I can give them a sum of money, which is enough to keep them fed, fed, and clothed for ten or twenty years. If you smash it with money, you can also smash the Japanese to death! ”
Mei Rujiao could hear the hatred of the Japanese for the rest of his life, but after hearing the plan for the rest of his life, he still felt that the world of local tyrants was really not understandable to him as an ordinary person. It's really a miracle that the two of them can play happily, and they can only say: "Then please Brother Yu!" ”
Mei Rujiao said goodbye and left, and arranged the filming of the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for the rest of her life. Call the night without light, and recall those Manchu relics who wandered around Japan in search of Chinese antiques. He said to them: "The purchase of antiques has been postponed for a month, and now, there is a more important thing that needs everyone's help to do!" ”
The crowd was a little surprised and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Go back to China to find witnesses to the Nanjing Massacre! Evidence! Other than that. If there are other witnesses who can prove the atrocities of the Japanese, they will also be found! This matter must be done within half a month! There is no limit to the number of evidence and witnesses! The more the merrier! But there can be no one who fishes in troubled waters! ”
There was a Manchu widow who said: "This matter is not difficult to do. It's just that many people in China are reluctant to come forward, and it is estimated that it is difficult to do things without money. ”
Yu Sheng said: "This time to find witness evidence, there is no upper limit to the budget, as long as you find someone, tell them that they are unwilling to come but are willing to provide evidence." Give $10,000! If you are willing to come to Tokyo, give 30,000 US dollars, and the whole family will be covered with food, clothing, housing and transportation! Hurry back and get ready, and we'll leave tomorrow! ”
The crowd was in an uproar. knew that the rest of his life was serious this time, so they went back to pack their bags. The rest of his life left Ye Wuguang alone, and said to Ye Wuguang: "This time I will go back and contact my old acquaintances who were on the beach back then, these people are of great help." ”
The absence of light in the night means that it is understood. Yu Sheng pulled out a check. To the night Wuguang said: "After returning to China, major newspapers and news media. You all need to pay for it. Even if they were to be fair, it would take a lot of money to buy a full page of a newspaper, which should be enough to cover a hundred and ten newspapers for three days of full page news. ”
Ye Wuguang took the check and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't need so much." Now the name Yu Sheng is a legend for people in China. A lot of people want to be in a relationship with you. There are a lot of domestic little actors. They have come to me around the corner and want me to pull them to Hollywood. ”
"So, I don't think I need that much money. As long as the newspaper has a little brain, it will give me a discount! ”
Yu Sheng also smiled: "Then you can improvise." If there are really talented actors or other high-end talents, it is not impossible to bring them to Hollywood, after all. Our foundation in Hollywood is still a little shallow. ”
Ye Wuguang said that he understood, took the check, and Shi Shiran left. Just three days later, from Nanjing to Beijing, the news of Yu Sheng, a well-known overseas Chinese, a famous Hollywood director, and the world's top richest man looking for witnesses to the Nanjing Massacre in Japan and witnesses to the war of aggression against China spread all over the world.
At this time, Lao Jiang, because he was busy suppressing bandits, did not have too many opinions on finding witnesses for the rest of his life. After all, doing this for the rest of his life is also giving him a long face. And the military commanders who fought endlessly with the Japanese back then were all overjoyed, from Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jiemin downwards, all of them openly and secretly helped to find witnesses in the dark of night. After all, the Japanese killed countless people in the military command back then, and if the upper echelons did not make a statement, the old people who had been there since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War would be chilling.
The film and art circles in Shanghai are also extremely helpful, and many movie stars have expressed their approval of this matter. Every time he attends a public occasion and every exposure, he becomes a huge publicity for the search for witness evidence.
The effect of this propaganda is also very obvious. Just a week later, the Manchu remnants across the country received phone calls, telegrams, and letters and parcels from thousands of people.
Some of the letters and parcels were sent anonymously, but when I opened them, they were bloodstained notebooks. Some of them could not even read, but they went to their homes in the dark and expressed their willingness to testify in court. The enthusiasm of the people in China is far higher than Mei Rujiao and the rest of her life imagined.
When the Japanese invaded Nanjing, although they killed countless people, after the massacre, there were not no lucky survivors. These people either lost their families or became destitute, and even those who lived secretly to the Japanese as good citizens or traitors suffered humiliation. The resentment in my heart is naturally not small.
However, these people are also the group of people who cherish the peaceful life they have now. Although they wrote or called to say that they were willing to provide evidence, they were unable to testify in court because they would have to run out of food once they stopped their work. These people are the focus of the Manchu widows and the night without light.
After confirming that these people's experiences are true, Ye Wuguang will take the initiative to raise the issue of remuneration. Provide evidence and materials, and pay 10,000 US dollars. Willing to testify in court, not only will the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses be fully covered during the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, but also 30,000 US dollars.
Of course, in order to prevent disputes caused by uneven distribution. The family's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inclusive, which is discounted to 10,000 US dollars by the night without light.
At this time, China was very short of resources because of Lao Chiang's "suppression of bandits". Moreover, in order to safeguard the interests of the four families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen, the random issuance of banknotes has become the norm, and prices have swelled very much. On the contrary, the value of Yinyang and the US dollar is very strong.
So, the purchasing power of $10,000 is amazing! Just as in the later "Latent", when Wu Jingzhong asked for the dollars he received from a Stippunk car, he exclaimed: "They can have a lot of people, and they have so many dollars!" ”
If a witness is willing to testify in court, he or she can receive a total of $40,000 for the rest of his life. This money is enough for a family of several people to live a good life for ten years without worrying about food and clothing. If you are a little more diligent and work more to earn money, then these tens of thousands of dollars are enough for these families to have more money in the next few decades!
This kind of wealth is not only tempting, but also in line with conscience, how can there be a reason not to earn it! There are even those who are not long-sighted and want to talk nonsense in order to cheat these dollars. After being recognized by the military commander of the night without light, he was beaten up in stink.
In these circumstances, the search for witnesses went extremely smoothly. In less than a month, nearly 1,000 real witnesses were collected in the dark. These people seemed inconspicuous during the war, but they were equivalent to humanoid cameras, nearly 1,000 cameras scattered throughout the city of Nanjing, which could record almost every detail of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese.
There are many people's narratives that can be matched.
The only thing that was missed was that there were too many people, and transportation became a problem. The rest of his life, Douglas's private jet, turned around for more than a week before transporting these people to Tokyo. It is housed in a temporary hotel converted from an old factory. These people, supported by the two needs of the dollar and revenge, are not disgusted.
When she began to work for the rest of her life, Qing Xiaoyi was not idle. However, Qing Xiaoyi is not busy with Chinese, but Japanese. After Qing Xiaoyi took in Qing Shui Shi Tong, Qing Shui Shi Tong's body got better quickly after treatment. (To be continued.) )
