If, in accordance with the virtues of Lao Mei, because of the increasingly close relationship with the Japanese, after the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has heard the first case, before the trial can continue, all the Class A war criminals who have been detained but have not yet been tried will be released. Even in the first case, due to the connivance and acquiescence of Lao Mei, the Japanese adopted the tactics of delay, and also sheltered a large number of war criminals.

Fortunately, most of the judges recommended by various countries have knots that cannot be solved by the Japanese, which gives a little balance to the connivance of the Americans. In particular, Philippine Judge Hananila. Although the Philippines is the younger brother of the Americans, this Hananila was captured by the Japanese army in World War II. Narrowly escaped from Bataan's death march.

The Bataan Death March was a march in the spring of 1942 in which the Japanese forced all prisoners of war and civilians, men, women, and children, injured or not, to march to the concentration camp in San Fernando in the heat after the Japanese occupied the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines.

This march, although the whole journey was only 120 kilometers, walked for nine days, and only walked an average of 13 kilometers per day. The speed is not much different from normal walking. However, the Japanese, on the march, deliberately did not provide these captives with water and food. Anyone who dares to secretly search for water on the march will be shot. Beatings, scolding and abuse are commonplace.

Without water and food, with unbearable heat, severe physical wear, and frequent beatings, abuses, and frequent beatings, scolding, and abuse, a large number of people could not support their bodies and died during the march. After walking all the way, he died all the way. More than 8,000 people died along the way. It's really miserable.

It is strange that Hananira, who has personally experienced this, does not hate the Japanese. And Mei Rujiao, a judge appointed by China, personally experienced the humiliation of the Chinese in the War of Resistance that began when Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces. I can't wait to shoot all these Japanese war criminals.

But. Mei Rujiao has the heart to serve the country, but Lao Jiang is very weak. Lao Jiang understands very well that at the critical moment when he suppressed bandits. It would be unwise to offend the Americans who can supply them with arms. And its main focus was not on how to take revenge on the Japanese. So, treat it indifferently. Only Mei Ruxuan was selected. The funds and staff allocated are inadequate.

The rich man Yu knew about this, so how could he stand idly by. Therefore, I told Qing Xiaoyi that as long as Mei Ruxuan came to Japan, she must be treated politely. Be sure to ask them to meet them.

And Mei Ruxuan after receiving the invitation for the rest of her life. Also very interested in the rest of my life. After all, Yu Sheng is now China's first entertainment tycoon who can be called internationally famous. And the iron ore in the Turner Valley in his hands also made it quickly rise to the ranks of the world's top richest people.

At least among the four families of Jiang Song, Kong and Chen. Pick out which one alone, and there are not as many as the rest of your life in terms of industry. Of course, joining hands is another matter.

In the case that both people are interested, the two people quickly make an appointment. And the location. It's where I lived in Tokyo for the rest of my life.

Mei Ruxuan is this person. The background is not too high, just an ordinary farmer who cultivates and reads heirlooms. And because his father was extremely strict with his discipline, Mei Rujiao herself was eager to learn and progress, so in her childhood and adolescence, she has always been a scholar-level figure.

In 1916, Mei Rujiao was admitted to Tsinghua University, and subsequently. In 1924, he was admitted to the publicly-funded study program in the United States and enrolled in Stanford University. Completed the promotion path from a scholar to a god of learning. In 1926, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University and attended the University of Chicago Law School, where she received her J.D. in 1928.

In this day and age, the value of a doctorate is high. It is not at all comparable to the Hereafter. And there are only a handful of people in China who have obtained foreign doctorates. Therefore, Mei Rujiao is also a rare talent in China. After returning to China in 1929, he successively served as a professor of law at Wuhan University, Shanxi University, Chung Cheng University, Nankai University, and Fudan University, and served as a member of the Legislative Yuan of the Nationalist Government for a long time.

With the relationship between Song Ziwen and Song Ziwen, Mei Ruxuan was regarded as his own person by Lao Jiang. Therefore, after receiving an invitation from the Americans to appoint a judge, Mei Rujiao was chosen.

Although Mei Rujiao and Yu Sheng are a lot of years apart, because their backgrounds are not high, and they have the same experience of struggling in the United States and their ambition to serve the country, they can talk very well with Yu Sheng. From the early afternoon until dusk, it is late.

For the rest of his life, let Qing Xiaoyi prepare dinner. And said to Mei Ruxuan: "Brother Mei, the Japanese have begun to invade China since the Sino-Japanese War, although all walks of life in Europe and the United States believe that it was only in 1928 that the Japanese began to invade China after the Huanggutun incident, but you and I are both Chinese, and naturally we are well aware of the wolf ambitions of the Japanese. ”

Mei Rujiao nodded and said: "This trial, because it is led by the Americans, will inevitably adopt the common law system." The civil law system pursued by China may not apply. Moreover, for Europeans and Americans, setting the date of 1928 is extremely advantageous for them. ”

"If the time goes back further, then the First Sino-Japanese War is an invasion, and the Eight-Nation Alliance should also be regarded as an invasion. In the ensuing World War I, these people ignored China as the victorious country and distributed the benefits that originally belonged to the Germans in China to the Japanese, which should also be regarded as an invasion. It is impossible for Europeans and Americans to slap themselves in the face. It is impossible to push time any further, and if you go any further, Europeans and Americans will slap themselves in the face. ”

Yu Sheng waved his hand and said: "We have nothing to do in terms of time, but I only hope that this trial can return justice to the people." The war criminals who deserve to be killed must die. Don't leave it to chance. ”

Mei Ruxuan said: "This is nature, I should do my best!" ”

Yu Sheng took out the check that had been prepared and handed it to Mei Ruxuan. Mei Rujiao was shocked when he saw the numbers on it, saying that he had never seen such a large amount of checks in his life. asked Yu Shengdao: "Brother Yu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yu Sheng also said with a straight face: "I know that according to the common law system, you are a judge and you will inevitably swear not to divulge your opinions and votes and those of your colleagues." I'm not interested in this either. Therefore, I will not let Brother Mei do something difficult. ”

"It's just that I know that Lao Jiang's funds and manpower allocated to Brother Mei are too small, and he wants to win the lawsuit. That little money is definitely not enough! So, the money was delivered to Brother Mei. With this money, it must be necessary to hire people. Or gather information, it will be much easier! ”

Mei Ruxuan hesitated a little, he knew that what he said for the rest of his life was the truth. However, who would have heard that such an international trial requires personal donations! If Lao Jiang knew about this, not only would he not be happy, but he would also think that he was slapping him in the face for the rest of his life. Mei Ruxuan will have to mix under Lao Jiang in the future!

Yu Sheng continued: "I also know that this matter is not so regular. However, there is no such money. The trial will be much harder. In the face of justice and humanity, some rigid rules are really out of place. Brother Mei can think about the 300,000 compatriots who were slaughtered by the Japanese after the destruction of Nanjing. You can think of the tens of thousands of Chinese who were used as experimental subjects by Unit 731, and you can think of those soldiers who fell on the battlefield! ”

"At that time, how could the Japanese have told these innocent people what rules! A mad dog bites a person, and of course the person can't bite it back. But it is still necessary to beat it to death with a stick to prevent it from biting again! ”

Mei Rujiao is also a person who has experienced the Anti-Japanese War. Knowing that what you say for the rest of your life is the truth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll take the money! I will use it on the edge of the judgment of the Japanese! ”

Yu Sheng laughed and said, "That's right! ”

Three rounds of drinking. The dish has five flavors. When the two of them were full of wine and food, and when they said goodbye, Yu Sheng said to Mei Ruxuan: "Brother Mei be careful, Europeans and Americans are not completely credible." Especially when it comes to seating in the queue, there are a lot of pitfalls. ”

Mei Ruxuan heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, and suddenly said: "Understood, I will be careful!" ”

She works at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East's permanent address in Tokyo. The permanent address of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo is Ichiga-ku, Tokyo. The original building of the Japanese Army Headquarters. Here, before World War II. It was once the most famous Japanese army non-commissioned officer school in Japan.

Most of the Japanese war criminals at all levels were born in this school. At the beginning of World War II, when the Japanese launched the 77 Incident, officially invaded China, and planned Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, this place became the headquarters of the Japanese Army and the General Staff. It was from here that the orders issued by the Japanese during the war were transmitted to the rest of the world.

The Americans chose the permanent location of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in order to make an irony and a warning to the Japanese. The trial hall of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was the auditorium of the original Japanese non-commissioned officer school. It is said that at its maximum, it can accommodate two thousand people.

After MacArthur located the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the Allies began to renovate the Great Hall to the style of the trial hall of the International Tribunal at Nuremberg. The renovation work alone took three months. The renovated trial hall of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is far superior to the original in Nuremberg.

The direction and details of history are still so stubborn. out of the memory of the rest of my life. Before the opening of the military tribunal of the Far Eastern countries, a dispute broke out over the judges sitting in rows and eating fruits. In international affairs, many times it is the details that seem to be inconsequential, but in fact have a great impact.

One of them is the arrangement of the seats. In any international setting, there will be disputes and intrigues about the order of seating, because it is a matter of status, honor, attitude and influence of a country, and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is no exception.

The president and chief judge of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is Sir Wilber of Australia, who once served as the chairman of the "Commission for the Investigation of Atrocities in the Japanese Army" appointed by the Australian government. However, due to his origins, he is very close to the British who are the nominal boss of Australia and the American who is the real boss.

Therefore, when the eleven justices met at the beginning and announced the order of their seats, it was natural to arrange the order of seats as - the United States, the United Kingdom, China, the Soviet Union, Canada, France, Australia, the Netherlands, India, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

Even if she doesn't remind her in advance for the rest of her life, Mei Rujiao will have an argument, and she is even more prepared at this time. After Australian Judge Sir Wilber finished reading out the seating order, Mei Rujiao immediately objected: "I don't agree! ”

Sir Wilber asked, "Why, Mr. May?" ”

Mei Rujiao said: "I think the judges' seats should be arranged in the order in which the "Japanese Surrender Document" is signed. China was in second place at the signing ceremony of the "Japanese Surrender Document", then, that is, after the United States, it should be China. ”

Sir Wilber said, "This is the courtroom, not a repeat of the surrender ceremony. The crowd burst into laughter.

Mei Ruxuan also smiled: "Then, Sir Wilber, why do you arrange your seats in this order?" ”

Sir Wilber explained very naturally, "Mr. May, this is customary. "It was indeed the norm that after the sun never set on the decline of the empire and after the end of the First World War, the British could not dominate international affairs. As a result, the number one seat, which was undoubted, became less taken for granted.

In World War II, although the British withstood the bombing of the Germans, they still suffered heavy losses. The country's strength is extremely weak. On the contrary, the Americans, because of the orders from the war, the economy developed rapidly. It became the undoubted number one in the world except for the Soviet Union. The seats were also raised.

However, the remnants of the British are still there, and they have not fallen too much, so they are in second place. It became routine.

Mei Ruxuan pretended to be surprised: "Convention? Whose practice is this? Isn't it customary to sign the "Instrument of Surrender of Japan"? ”

In other words, the order in which the "Japanese Surrender Document" was signed was also arranged by the Americans. Mei Ruxuan: This is attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son.

Sir Wilber could not answer, so he could only avoid talking to him left and right, and said, "Mr. May, we are here to try war criminals, why should we hold on to such a small detail?" ”

Mei Rujiao retorted: "This question is not a small detail! What's more, according to the common law system, there is only a deep and shallow truth, and there is no difference between large and small! ”

Sir Wilber said helplessly: "Then, Mr. May proposes a fair solution!" ”

Mei Rujiao wittily retorted: "If the president and everyone do not follow the order of the surrender signature on the Japanese surrender instrument, then, I propose a fair method - we might as well find a weight measuring device to see how much each person weighs, and then arrange the seats according to it, with those who weigh in the middle and those who are light in the side." In this way, we can have the fairest and most objective standard. ”

The judges, with the exception of Sir Wilbur, laughed. Sir Wilber was slightly embarrassed. He could only say: "Mr. Mei, the method you proposed is indeed very fair, but this method is only applicable to boxing matches, and we are an international tribunal and not a boxing ring."
