Xiao Zhenlei said: "Why do you want to try these Japanese war criminals? On the one hand, it is a punishment for their arrogant war, and on the other hand, it is revenge for the soldiers and civilians who were killed by the Japanese, yes, it is revenge, those innocent soldiers and civilians cannot die in vain, the Japanese must pay for it, especially those high-ranking Japanese generals and officials who started the war, they must be responsible for what they did back then! Do you have any suggestions for this? ”

Song Shijie was the first to agree: "President, I think it is very necessary to try Japanese war criminals, and I suggest that elite soldiers and strong generals be drawn from China's judicial circles to form a special trial court to try the members of the military cabinet headed by Terauchi Masayi and other Japanese generals and officials who caused harm to the military and civilians of our country and other countries in those years."

Fan Zhiyong said: "If only judicial personnel and judges are transferred from our country, then the Japanese are only afraid of disobedience, and now that our country is a member of the Entente, I think it is necessary to invite other members of the Entente to send judges to participate in the trial court!" ”

"Yes, that's a good suggestion, I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The officials agreed with Fan's suggestion. Xiao Zhenlei saw that everyone agreed to invite other Entente member states to send judges to participate in the trial court, so he said: "Okay, since everyone has unanimously agreed to invite other Entente member countries to send judges to participate in this trial court, then this matter has been decided!" ”

As soon as Xiao Zhenlei confirmed the result, an official asked: "Then this court must have a name, and this name must have momentum."

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand when he heard this, and immediately said: "It's called the International Military Tribunal for the Far East." The venue of the trial is located in Tokyo, and the trial will be held in Tokyo! ”

After the meeting. Lu Zhengxiang, who received the spirit of the meeting's instructions, began to work in accordance with the decision of the meeting, and he first rejected Xiyuan Temple's request for a loan from Huaguo on the grounds that Huaguo did not have any spare funds to help Japan get out of its current state! On the grounds that the current situation in Japan is unstable and there are serious hidden dangers to public order, he rejected the request of the Saionji Gongwang to ask the Chinese army to lift the blockade of Japan.

In addition, the war and the prolonged famine caused diseases to flourish in Japan. Several of these diseases are very contagious, and if the blockade of Japan is lifted now, those highly contagious diseases will easily spread to other countries and regions, thus endangering the safety of people's lives and property in other countries.

These reasons are very sufficient, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang can only sigh, he and other Japanese high-level people have a feeling of seeking the skin of the tiger, he has already felt from the attitude of the Chinese side, the Chinese side is only afraid that it will not let Japan go so easily, but no matter what. The worst outcome is much better than dying to the end until the country is wiped out.

On that day, the Chinese army suddenly arrested all the current Japanese people headed by Saionji Konobo, Osako Naotoshi, Kawamura Keiaki, Sameshima Shigeo, and Ueda Arisawa, and all Japanese military and political officials related to them were also arrested.

Next, the Chinese army took command of the security forces in various parts of Japan, and reappointed the officials of the security forces, and these officials of the security forces in various parts of Japan were all Japanese who obeyed the orders of the Chinese army, and used the Japanese to govern the Japanese, so that there would be no direct contradictions between the Chinese army and the Japanese.

After the arrest of Saionji Konobo, Osako Natoshi, Kawamura Keiaki, Sameshima Shigeo, Ueda Arisawa and others. None of the other important war criminals escaped, and all of them were sent to prison.

At this time, dozens of well-known judges and hundreds of judicial workers were dispatched to Tokyo, Japan, and Qin Liankui was appointed as the supreme judge of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. He led the judges and hundreds of judicial workers to erect the rack of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and a regiment of troops was at the disposal of the Far Eastern Military Tribunal.

After Qin Liankui rushed to Tokyo with these judges and judicial workers, he immediately chose a house in the downtown area of Tokyo as the seat and place of work of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and he spent a week erecting the shelves of the courtroom. Then he began to send people to get in touch with the Governments, inviting the Allies to send judges to Tokyo to join the International Military Tribunal for the Far East as a judge on the jury. In principle, each State may send one judge and four assistants.

After the news broke, the matter caused a huge international repercussion. After all, this is a matter of showing their faces and an opportunity to show their existence to the world, so the governments of various countries are very active, and some judges and judicial workers in various countries hope that they can be assigned to Tokyo to participate in the trial, and to participate in such a major judicial trial in the world, which is an extremely exciting thing for every judge and judicial personnel.

In addition, some liberal legal workers from various countries, including some well-known free lawyers, have rushed to Tokyo, hoping to participate in the prosecution or defense in court as lawyers for one of the parties, and these people are active everywhere in Tokyo, some lawyers want to show their faces in court as lawyers for the prosecution, and some lawyers want to defend war criminals.

After the news of the Tokyo trial broke, the international community paid close attention, and in addition to the fact that many legal workers from various countries rushed to Tokyo to look for opportunities, a large number of reporters also flocked to Tokyo, and Japan was originally blocked by China, and these legal workers and reporters had to go through strict censorship before they could enter Tokyo.

After entering Japan, the reporters were stunned by the situation in Japan, which is now almost in ruins, and it is difficult to find a very complete building in Japan, but all the buildings that are more conspicuous in the downtown area have been destroyed by the bombing, and after the reporters entered Tokyo, they saw almost endless rubble, and the situation of Tokyo being bombed was much more serious than other places.

In order to prevent these foreign reporters from reporting unfavorable news to the Chinese army, the Chinese army restricted the scope of the reporters' activities, and the reporters were basically only allowed to move around the Tokyo city and could not go out of the warning zone.

With the participation of judges and assistants from various countries, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East basically took shape, so the tribunal began to work, and many judicial workers were sent to Korea, the Liaodong Peninsula, Siberia, Qingdao, Weihai, Wandao, Ryukyu and other places to collect evidence, look for human and material evidence, after all, only by collecting enough evidence can those war criminals be convicted.

In addition to searching for human and material evidence from these places, the judges and judicial workers of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East traveled to various parts of Japan to search for evidence, and the Japanese Military Secret Archives Administration was visited by these judges and judicial workers, who found a large amount of evidence of the Japanese army's mutilation of Koreans, Chinese, Ryukyuan and Russians in Siberia.

The judges also found many Japanese women who accompanied the army, these Japanese women set out with the army during the war, and their role was to solve certain needs for the Japanese soldiers. After being found by the judges and judicial workers of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, these women expressed their willingness to testify in court to expose the ugly crimes of Japanese militarism.

Among the people brutalized by the Japanese army, only Wandao and Liaodong Peninsula are the worst, these two places were occupied by Japan after the First Sino-Japanese War, so the Japanese have mutilated these two places the most, and the worst Japanese cruelty is Korea, after all, Japan has ruled Korea for more than ten years, Japan has massacred Korean soldiers and civilians who resisted on a large scale in Korea, and often carried out massacres, and there are still many empty villages in Korea, and there are only white bones in the villages, and there is no living person, these are the crimes of the Japanese.

The judges of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East found the survivors who had been massacred and mutilated by the Japanese army in these places, and invited these survivors to Tokyo to correct the crimes of the Japanese war criminals.

After all, the evil deeds done by the Japanese have not been done for a long time, there are still many traces of existence, and a large number of survivors and incriminating evidence have been preserved, and the judges and judicial workers have spent a long time and a lot of energy to find out these evidence.

The Japanese war criminals, especially the executioners such as Heihachiro Togo, were terrified when they heard that they were going to be tried after their arrests, and they immediately asked to meet with their families, which was allowed, after all, the prisoners had the right to ask to see their families, and these war criminals and executioners instructed their families to hire a lawyer to fight the lawsuit for them, so that the famous free lawyers of various countries operating in Tokyo finally came to the door.

Of course, the Chinese authorities, the Korean Kingdom, and the representatives of the Russians in Siberia have invited many well-known lawyers to argue in court as lawyers for the prosecution and the defense.

Among Japan's war criminals, the question of whether or not to try Japan's Taisho Emperor as a war criminal has caused great controversy among the judicial panels of various countries. (To be continued......)
