The eleven justices also laughed dumbly. As a result, this Shimamoto was blasted out of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after only one word. This made Seishiro Itagaki and his legal team frustrated.

The second witness Seishiro Itagaki found was Yamawaki, the vice-minister of Seishiro Itagaki when he was prime minister between 1938 and 1939.

Since Yamawaki appeared in court, he has praised Itagaki Seishiro's character. It is said that during the war, Seishiro Itagaki reorganized the army and advocated the withdrawal of Japanese troops in China to end the war. However, these words did not involve the details of what Seishiro Itagaki did.

Because, the details simply do not stand up to scrutiny. Therefore, Yamawaki can only try to prove Itagaki Seishiro's character. Ni Zhengyi saw this, so he cross-examined Yamawaki and said: "As a deputy official, everything you do must be approved by the Prime Minister of Land?" ”

Yamawaki replied, "That's nature. ”

Ni Zhengyi waited for this sentence, and then asked: "Then in February 1939, the order issued by Yamawaki in the name of the vice minister to restrict the speech of self-supporting Japanese soldiers was also issued according to the intention of Itagaki Seishiro, right?" ”

Yamawaki felt that things were not good, but there was no way to deny the "Remarks on Restricting Self-Supporting Japanese Soldiers" in black and white, so he replied, "Yes." ”

This "Speech on Restricting Self-Supported Japanese Soldiers from Returning to Japan" was issued in order to prohibit Japanese soldiers from divulging the situation of the front-line battles and the various crimes committed by the Japanese in China after returning to China. In this general order, the Japanese listed various topics that were often talked about by soldiers returning to the Japanese mainland, and indicated that these topics were forbidden to be disseminated.

Although, the original intention of the Japanese was to cover up the sins committed by the Japanese army in China. After all, the Japanese also know that if the people in the rear know about the fighters in the front, they will do such nonsense, I am afraid that they will challenge the bottom line of the people's humanity. At least. The emperor's face will be gone.

Unexpectedly, this general order of "restricting the speech of self-supporting Japanese soldiers who have returned to Japan" became ironclad evidence that the Japanese themselves listed their crimes after the war. It's just a no-brainer.

In this "Remarks on Restricting Self-Supported Japanese Soldiers," the Japanese listed in detail such things as "all the fighting troops, after reconnaissance, are guilty of murder, robbery, or rape," "after rape, they are either given money to send them away, or they are killed afterwards to kill them," and "we sometimes line up Chinese prisoners of war and then shoot them with machine guns." to test the effectiveness of the arms" and so on, the crimes actually committed by the Japanese in China.

And because this general order was issued by Yamawaki in the name of Seishiro Itagaki, not only Yamawaki could not escape responsibility, but Seishiro Itagaki, the main responsible person, could not escape responsibility. Moreover, these culpabilities are clearly enumerated.

Ni Zhengyi's "Remarks on Restricting Self-Supporting Japanese Soldiers from Returning to Japan" is simply a lore. Seishiro Itagaki lost his wife and lost his army, but not only could he not testify in his defense. Yamawaki's testimony instead became evidence of his conviction.

Itagaki Seishiro was unhappy when he saw that several witnesses he had found had failed one after another. Secretly scolded these goods for not being successful enough and more than defeating, they are all pig teammates. But I don't know. Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. His IQ is not much better than that of these pig teammates.

After Seishiro Itagaki planned to go into battle in person and serve as a witness for himself. Ni Zhengyi knew that the opportunity had come. He killed two birds with one stone, and his strategy of striking east and west was only one step away from being completed.

After Seishiro Itagaki after a tirade of justification. Ni Zhengyi asked Itagaki Seishiro: "You just said that the 918 Incident, that is, the war on September 18, 1931, you never planned it in advance, and it was not a conspiracy at all, right?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Ni Zhengyi immediately retorted: "But you admit that the Kwantung Army had already formulated a battle plan before the Huanggutun incident, didn't you agree to formulate this battle plan?" ”

Of course, Seishiro Itagaki agreed, so, in order to avoid answering positively and falling into passivity, Seishiro Itagaki said, "I think it is necessary for me to explain this battle plan to you......"

Of course, Ni Zhengyi would not give Itagaki Seishiro a chance to talk about him left and right, Ni Zhengyi interrupted Itagaki Seishiro's quibble and said: "I don't need your explanation, what I want to ask is, did your battle plan report to the Japanese mainland and obtain consent?" ”

Itagaki Seishiro didn't know why Ni Zhengyi was asking this, so he nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Ni Zhengyi retorted: "Then why do you still say that you didn't plan the 918 incident beforehand?" ”

Itagaki Seishiro was prepared for this question, so he replied: "Because at that time, the number of our Japanese Kwantung Army was already at an absolute disadvantage of 1:20 compared with the number of the Northeast Army of China, so we made a plan to guard against the attack of the Northeast Army. We make plans just to defend ourselves. ”

If Lao Jiang and Zhang Xueliang were here, they would have died of shame for what Seishiro Itagaki said. The strength of the army was 20 times that of the Japanese, but the Japanese took away three provinces, which is really a shame to the ancestors and ancestors, and hundreds of millions of people are outside.

However, this is not the time to think about who is more humiliated. Ni Zhengyi seized the loophole in Itagaki Seishiro's words and cross-examined: "So, how do you know that the Northeast Army is going to attack you?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki replied, "This is what we judged based on intelligence, so we made this plan!" ”

Ni Zhengyi asked, "According to the intelligence? What intelligence? ”

Seishiro Itagaki was speechless, all the information was collected by Kenji Dohihara. However, it does not include information such as the attack of the Northeast Army on the Japanese. What Seishiro Itagaki said was based on the information, and he said it in passing. There was no such thing.

In Itagaki Seishiro's speechlessness, Ni Zhengyi said: "Mr. Itagaki Seishiro, I think I need to remind you that the court is a place to talk about evidence, and if you want to prove that the Northeast Army is about to attack the Japanese army, you must have evidence!" ”

Seishiro Itagaki was silent. Ni Zhengyi found another major flaw in the 48-page defense statement written by Itagaki Seishiro, and asked: "You mentioned that when Japan discussed the Triple Pact with Germany and Italy, you did not advocate the expansion of the war. Also, as for the Zhang Gufeng incident on the border between China and the Soviet Union, you have been trying to solve it on the spot, haven't you? ”

Although Zhang Gufeng is located in China, it can be regarded as the border between China and Russia. However, in 1938. But it was a Japanese-controlled area, a border with a Soviet-controlled area. In May 1938, the Japanese mobilized troops to build an offensive at Zhang Qifeng, next to Zhang Gufeng.

Feeling provoked, the Soviets suddenly occupied Zhanggu Peak at the end of June 1938 and began to build fortifications on the mountain. The Japanese, on the other hand, believed that the Soviets' occupation of Zhanggufeng was equivalent to having a strategic position that could control Korea and northeastern China. So, too, I felt threatened.

And the Japanese upper echelons also have different ways of dealing with this matter. Koiso Kuniaki and others believed that the matter should be resolved by means of non-resort to force, but Itagaki Seishiro saw this as a great opportunity for him to make a meritorious contribution and advocated the capture of Zhang Gufeng by strong means.

Therefore, from 30 July 1938 to 11 August 1938, the Japanese and Soviets threw tens of thousands of troops into the area around Zhanggufeng and fought a battle. As a result, the Japanese were not at all opponents of the Soviets. The Soviets took control of Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak. The Japanese retreated to the west bank of the Tumen River.

Itagaki Seishiro and other hardliners lost ground as a result. Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro was a little weak in response to Ni Zhengyi's question. He replied, "Yes." ”

Ni Zhengyi asked again: "Because of these two things, you have been condemned by the emperor, haven't you?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki was shocked - this matter is a secret of the Japanese upper class. The outside world doesn't know. Asked Ni Zhengyi rhetorically: "How do you know?" ”

Ni Zhengyi didn't answer, and said sharply: "Now I'm cross-examining you, not you asking me!" Answer me right away. Yes or no? ”

For the Japanese, it was a shame to be reprimanded by the emperor. Itagaki Seishiro was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "There is no such thing......

In fact, Ni Zhengyi's intention was not to prove Itagaki Seishiro's culpability in the matter of Zhang Gufeng, his purpose was only to prove that Itagaki Seishiro's character was not so strong, and he messed with his mind. Seishiro Itagaki really hit the plan.

Ni Zhengyi then took out a piece of evidence and said to the eleven judges: "This is a piece of evidence that our Chinese procuratorial team obtained from the Allied Headquarters, and it is a diary written by Harada, a Japanese upper-class patriarch, Saionji, which records in detail the fact that the Japanese emperor severely reprimanded Itagaki Seishiro because of the above two incidents. ”

Then, Ni Zhengyi said to Itagaki Seishiro in a very contemptuous tone: "You just said that there is no such thing......

Seishiro Itagaki was speechless. I hate this pig teammate who writes a diary.

Ni Zhengyi said to President Wilbur: "Now, I accept this evidence to the court, ask the court to check it, and register it in the case." "Itagaki Seishiro's character is not strong, so it was finalized.

After Itagaki Seishiro was distraught and out of words, Ni Zhengyi launched the final blow. Asked Itagaki Seishiro: "In the later period of your tenure as Minister of War of Japan, you once sent people to China to meet two people, one was Tang Shaoyi, who served as the first premier of the Republic of China government, and the other was Wu Peifu, the commander of the former Beiyang warlords, right?" ”

This incident was planned by Seishiro Itagaki and Kenji Dohihara together. At the same time that Seishiro Itagaki supported Zhang Jingyao, and Kenji Tohihara supported Yin Rugeng, making preparations with both hands, trying to achieve autonomy in North China. The two also planned to unite Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu to make third-hand preparations. The purpose is also to plot the so-called autonomy of North China.

It's just that Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu are both old rivers and lakes, and they are not at all the ones that Kenji Dohihara and Seishiro Itagaki can direct. Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu were very polite to the Japanese on the surface, but they each had their own wishful thinking.

Itagaki Seishiro felt that he hadn't succeeded in doing this and that it wasn't a big deal, so he replied, "Yes." ”

Ni Zhengyi then asked, "Your purpose is to win over these two people and set up a large-scale puppet organization in China, right?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki replied, "I don't know! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ni Zhengyi knew that Itagaki Seishiro's mind was completely messed up. What you do, you say you don't know, and your thinking is completely illogical.

Ni Zhengyi took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Oh...... So, you should know who you're sending, right? ”

Seishiro Itagaki was silent. Ni Zhengyi then asked: "Is that person the person who pretended to be the mayor of Shenyang City, supported the puppet emperor of Manchukuo Pu Yi to be the emperor, colluded with the Japanese Kwantung Army, conspired for the autonomy of North China, instigated the independence of Inner Mongolia, and instigated traitors everywhere to establish a puppet regime and maintain the association. ”

Itagaki Seishiro couldn't answer, because he suddenly realized that while Ni Seishiro was cross-examining him, he used his court confession to prove what Kenji Dohihara had done, and the guilt that could not be denied! Ni Zhengyi struck east and west, killing two birds with one stone, and pulled Kenji Dohihara and Seishiro Itagaki into the water together.

Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro was speechless, but Ni Zhengyi asked, "Is it him?" Answer me right away! ”

Kenji Dohihara, who was sitting at the right end of the defendant's dock, took off the headphones of the simultaneous interpreter and sighed silently. Knowing that he was miserable by Seishiro Itagaki, a pig teammate, I am afraid that there is no way to live.

Ni Zhengyi's long sentence is very imposing. As he spoke, he pointed to where Kenji Dohihara was sitting, and everyone's eyes were attracted. This rhetorical question was called the most brilliant victory of the Chinese inspection team by Mei Rujiao in later generations. In the meantime, he pointed to the east and west, and strategized. But if one step goes wrong, Kenji Dohihara, who doesn't say a word, will escape.

If we follow the development of real history, the only real audio and written records of the hearings of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East have survived to future generations. There are only a few clips of video recordings. It's a pity.

However, with the support of the rest of his life's wealth, whether it was Ni Zhengyi's guidance to Itagaki Seishiro's entry into the court, or Ni Zhengyi's last series of sonorous and powerful interrogations, so that in the end, Ni Zhengyi's halberd finger to Kenji Dohihara was all recorded by video for the rest of his life.

Come to think of it, whether it is this era or future generations of Chinese, they will be very interested in this video. Judges who appeal justice for the Chinese and members of the Chinese procuratorial team will become heroes.

At the same time that Yu Sheng recorded these images in full, the "Rabe Diary", which Yu Sheng had been planning for a long time, also began shooting. This "Rabe's Diary", in later generations, was filmed by French director Florey Gallenberg. Although, this film is the only Nanjing-themed film that has been officially authorized by China and shot by a foreign director. In 2009, when it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, it received unanimous praise from everyone. However, it didn't take the taste I wanted for the rest of my life. (To be continued.) )
