Tokyo, International Military Tribunal for the Far East.

Just a few days ago, Lee Wei Chung, a representative of the Kingdom of Korea, one of the victim countries, proposed that the Japanese Emperor Taisho be tried as a war criminal, and his reason was that the Taisho Emperor, as the supreme ruler of Japan, had the final say on waging war, and if it were not for his consent, the Japanese soldiers would not have inflicted such heavy casualties on other countries, and there would have been no defeat for Japan, let alone the Tokyo Trial, so Emperor Taisho deserves to be the culprit for starting the war, and he should be judged.

This reason is very strong, and just because he is the emperor of Japan, he should not be allowed to escape the court. However, when Li Weizhong put forward this proposal, it was immediately strongly opposed by British Judge Jonathan, who objected on the grounds that Japan is a country with a constitutional monarchy, and the Japanese emperor is only a symbol of the head of state, and the emperor has no real power, and the power to wage war is in the hands of those militarists in Japan, and the emperor has no effect even if he wants to oppose it, and the damage caused by Japan to neighboring countries has nothing to do with the Taisho Emperor, so the Taisho Emperor cannot be treated as a war criminal, and he cannot be tried.

The reasons for the British opposition are not very sufficient, everyone knows that Japan's constitutional monarchy system is completely different from that of the British, and that the Japanese emperor can obtain a great deal of power if he is talented, especially in the military power, and the Japanese emperor has the final right to appoint him.

In fact, the judges of most of the countries present at the meeting were very clear about the real reason for the opposition of British Judge Jonathan, the reason is that Britain is also a constitutional monarchy, and Britain also has a king and a royal family. If the Japanese emperor is tried this time, then the king of England may be tried next time. The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad!

Nowadays, the popular state system in the world is a republic, and most countries have begun to develop towards a republican system. The monarchy and the constitutional monarchy were beginning to fall short, and it was not surprising that the British judge, Jonathan, was a very loyal royalist aristocrat, raised his objections.

The two sides insisted on their own words, each had their own reasons, and they could not argue with each other, and the whole meeting lasted for a morning, and the two sides quarreled for a morning, and no one could say about the opponent, Supreme Justice Qin Liankui looked at the time. He knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet!" At the beginning of the meeting, two different voices emerged, North Korea's Lord Lee Wei Jong proposed to treat Japan's Taisho Emperor as a war criminal and try him, while British Judge Jonathan believed that it was not the Taisho Emperor who really started the war, so the Taisho Emperor should not bear such criminal responsibility, and both sides have very good reasons, judging from the current situation. It's hard to tell the difference, but now it's time for lunch, so let's eat first, and in the afternoon you can continue your work. We'll continue our discussion of this issue tomorrow morning, and all right, adjournment! ”

The judges of each country dispersed. After lunch, Qin Liankui went to a relatively intact building in Tokyo, which was the office of Lu Zhengxiang, the special envoy plenipotentiary for handling Japanese affairs. Not far from the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.

Everything related to Japanese affairs needed to be approved and decided by Lu Zhengxiang, except for the garrison. He is under his jurisdiction over all the affairs of Japan, both large and small. In fact, Lu Zhengxiang is equivalent to the status of the Japanese governor-general, and to a certain extent, he can dispatch the Chinese army stationed in Japan, including the navy, land and air force.

"Chief Executive, Justice Qin is here!" The secretary walked in with Qin Liankui and said to Lu Zhengxiang.

Lu Zhengxiang looked up and said with a smile: "It's Justice Qin, please hurry up, I was just about to go to you to ask you how the investigation and evidence collection of your International Military Tribunal for the Far East is going, and when will the trial be held!" ”

"The chief is polite, you are too polite!" Qin Liankui hurriedly bowed his respects, and then sat on a chair diagonally opposite Lu Zhengxiang.

"Our investigation and evidence collection have been carried out almost completely, and the trial will be officially held in about a month, and as for the insufficient evidence, witnesses and related materials, we can search for them while trying them! I'm here today because I want to talk to the chief about something, and it's a very important matter! ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lu Zhengxiang began to pay attention to it, in his opinion, it would definitely be a big deal to be able to ask Qin Liankui to come over to report.

In fact, Qin Liankui, as the supreme judge of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and Lu Zhengxiang are two completely different systems, and Qin Liankui is not Lu Zhengxiang's subordinate, in terms of rank, Qin Liankui's level is not lower than Lu Zhengxiang, and the reason why Qin Liankui put his posture very low is mainly because the Far East International Tribunal in Tokyo is inseparable from Lu Zhengxiang's support as a full authority to handle Japanese affairs, and many needs need his help to get it done.

"What the hell is it that made Justice Qin go on a trip in person!"

Qin Liankui then immediately explained the original situation from beginning to end: "Li Weizhong, the representative of the Kingdom of Korea, proposed at a meeting the day before yesterday that the Japanese Taisho Emperor should be treated as a war criminal, and after this proposal was put forward, the venue was cold, because everyone was subconsciously avoiding this issue before, and after this question was raised by Li Weizhong, the delegates of various countries had to face this problem, and Britain and France Jonathan clearly expressed their opposition, and they debated at the meeting for two consecutive days, Representatives of other countries are in favor and against, and as far as the current situation stands, the two sides are deadlocked, and there are certain supporters! ”

When Qin Liankui said this, Lu Zhengxiang said: "Understood, what do you mean?" You came to me? ”

Qin Liankui shook his head and said: "Chief, it's not what I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I'm a legal worker, everything is based on the law, the problem now is in the treatment of the Japanese emperor and the imperial family, the top has issued a secret order, although it is not explicitly stated, but the meaning is very clear, to depose the Japanese emperor and the imperial family, from now on, there will be no emperor and imperial family in Japan!" In that case, why don't we take this as an opportunity? ”

Lu Zhengxiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You mean to add fuel to the fire in this matter and secretly stand on the side of the supporters?" And then expand the matter to implicate the entire Japanese imperial family? ”

Qin Liankui nodded, "After receiving the secret order from above, I was originally going to take certain actions, but I haven't started to act yet, who knew that Li Weizhong of North Korea actually proposed it first, which also saved me a lot of action, I think about it, I am not suitable to do this kind of thing as the supreme justice of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, once I am caught by someone with a heart, isn't this a discredit to the country?" So I think about it, the next thing can only be done secretly by you, the chief, so please help me in any way."

Lu Zhengxiang thought about it when he heard this, and promised: "Okay, since it is the meaning of the top, then I am duty-bound, and leave the rest to me, you can rest assured!" ”

Qin Liankui hurriedly shook hands with Lu Zhengxiang and said, "Then thank you chief!" ”

Lu Zhengxiang said with a smile: "It's all for the country, why be polite?" ”

After Qin Liankui left, Lu Zhengxiang thought about it, walked to the table and picked up the phone and said: "Xiao Cao, inform the envoys of North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Siam, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries in Japan to come to me secretly at ten o'clock tonight, and also inform the US embassy that I want to make an appointment to meet with the American minister, and then inform the main person in charge of the Japanese distribution of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, and let him come over immediately!" ”

"Okay, chief, I'll do it right away!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ding Qiang, the main person in charge of the Japanese branch of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, came, and the secretary Xiao Cao took Ding Qiang to see Lu Zhengxiang and introduced: "Chief Executive, this is Major General Ding Qiang, the main person in charge of the Japanese branch of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau."

Ding Qiang saluted and said: "Chief Lu, I have received the telegram from above before, if the Chief Commander has anything to use me, please do not hesitate to order, our Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau in Japan Branch will fully cooperate."

Lu Zhengxiang was very satisfied with Ding Qiang's attitude, and after letting the secretary leave, he said to Ding Qiang: "Okay, then thank you General Ding!" This matter must also use the power of your intelligence system, and for you to do this, I think I must let you know the whole thing, but this matter can only end with you! ”

Ding Qiang hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I still know the confidentiality regulations!" ”

"That's good, here's how it ??????."

Lu Zhengxiang told Ding Qiang in detail, and Ding Qiang immediately understood what Lu Zhengxiang meant after hearing it, and he asked: "What does the chief mean to ask our Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau to send people to monitor the embassies of various countries in Japan and the judges sent by various countries to join the International Military Tribunal for the Far East?" ”

"Yes, and their assistants, in short, everything related to this matter must be reported to me in the first incident!"

Ding Qiang stood up and said, "Understood, please rest assured!" ”

Lu Zhengxiang also stood up and said, "Okay, you go get busy first, if there is news, report it immediately!" ”

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Two days later, Lu Zhengxiang received a call from Ding Qiang, in which Ding Qiang said: "Chief, I just received news that Zhu Erdian, Japan's plenipotentiary envoy to our country, went to the Japanese Imperial Palace to pay a visit to Emperor Taisho. ”

Lu Zhengxiang was stunned when he heard this: "Zhu Erdian? How did this old guy get to the palace? Is this old ghost going to make waves again? If there is any secret agreement between them, it will be very detrimental to our country, and now I authorize you to allow your people to enter the palace, and you have to find a way to find out what their conversation is about, understand? ”

"Understood!" (To be continued......)
