The first trial of Terauchi Masashi ended quickly, and the whole process of the trial will not end in a short time, and there are hundreds of war criminals to be brought to court, and it seems that the entire process of the Tokyo trial may last several years.

In response to this trial, the outside world has opened up discussions, and all Japanese people in the streets and alleys of Japan are talking about this matter. In a small street bar in Tokyo, there is a constant stream of drinkers. It is said that the relationship behind the owner of this small bar is extraordinary, and only with an extraordinary relationship behind it can you open a tavern on the streets of Tokyo at this time.

The price of drinks and food at this tavern is a little higher than normal, but this is normal, after all, it is the only tavern in Tokyo.

Judges of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo, judicial workers, freelance lawyers, and some mid-ranking officers of the Chinese army often come here for drinks, and even diplomatic envoys and their assistants can be seen. In addition, some wealthy former Japanese army middle and low-ranking officers also often take care of this place, these people are drunk and leave every time, it seems that the blow of defeat and surrender makes these Japanese army middle and low-level officers unable to accept the reality, can only borrow alcohol all day long to kill their sorrows.

In the bustling bar, the gramophone in the corner plays fluttering, relaxing music, which makes the guests who enter the bar feel very relaxed, and not only men but also women come here to consume. Most of these women are women who come to Japan with their husbands to work, and they don't work while their husbands are working. They sometimes come to the bar for a drink, these women are basically Western women, and only Western women are so bold, and the service in the bar is some Japanese women, each of whom is young and beautiful, and at this time, a job in a bar is a very enviable profession. The job is easy and lucrative, so the Japanese waitresses here are all very young and beautiful, and they are selected. With these young Japanese waitresses, it's hard to think about the bar's business.

"Hey, what do you think of today's trial?" In one corner, three Frenchmen sat at a table. One of them asked in a low voice.

One of the Frenchmen said: "As it is today. If this is still the case in the next few trials, I think it is a certainty that Terauchi Masashi will be found guilty, but it is just a matter of the severity of the sentence! ”

A third Frenchman asked, "Do you think it is possible that Terauchi Masashi will be sentenced to death?" ”

"Quite possibly! After all, he is the prime minister of the military cabinet, and he is the number one person who staged a coup d'état to form a military cabinet, and the court is likely to adopt the highest standard of punishment for such a person! ”

Inside the bar, almost every table of patrons was talking about today's trial. In recent days, any news that has occurred in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has become the subject of after-dinner conversation for all Japanese and people from foreign countries.

At this time, the curtain of the bar door was lifted from the outside again. Two Chinese people in woolen coats walked in, and the people in the bar just turned their heads habitually to glance, but these people soon found that one of the two people who came in turned out to be Qin Liankui, the supreme justice of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and they didn't expect Qin Liankui to come to this kind of street bar to drink.

When Qin Liankui and another person walked towards the bar counter, people kept greeting Qin Liankui, and Qin Liankui nodded and smiled at these people.

When the two came to the bar, they asked the bartender for two glasses of wine, and while drinking, they chatted, and Qin Liankui asked, "What are you doing in Tokyo this time?" ”

The friend took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You are on official business, you are better, just move your mouth, I still have to run around!" ”

Seeing that his friend was silent about the purpose of his trip, Qin Liankui knew that his friend must have an extraordinary mission in Tokyo this time, and this task was extremely important and highly confidential.

When he was about to change the topic, his friend said it himself: "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, you also know that at the beginning of the war, after the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was bombed, half of the warships sank into Tosa Bay, and in addition, a large number of Japanese warships sank to the bottom of the sea in the ports of Sasebo and Yokosuka.

Qin Liankui didn't believe what his friend said at all, although he was not a naval officer, nor was he a sailor, let alone engaged in the profession of salvage, but he knew that with the current salvage technology, it would be a fool's dream to salvage these wrecks from the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep.

Qin Liankui smiled and did not speak. The friend changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that you have a trial of Masashi Terauchi today?" How's it going? ”

Qin Liankui said: "It's relatively smooth, for those of us who are judges, what we have to worry about is how to ensure that the trial goes smoothly, don't make a mess and be fair and just, only for the prosecution and the defendant, the trial situation is good or bad!" ”

"When will the emperor be tried?"

"The trial of the emperor may have to be left to the end, after all, he is the main event!" When Qin Liankui said this, he was surprised: "How did you know that the emperor was going to be judged?" Didn't you just come here today? ”

The friend smiled: "Do you think the domestic news is very closed?" The news was transmitted back to China on the same day, and all major domestic newspapers have reported the news overwhelmingly in the past few days, and three-year-old children know about it! ”

"I see!"

The next day, the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East continued, and this time it was Heihachiro Togo, a Japanese admiral, who should not be prosecuted as a naval admiral, because he did not have the opportunity to carry out a large-scale massacre of civilians in the victim country in the course of the war, except for leading Japanese warships to fight against Qing Dynasty warships and Russian warplanes, but the prosecution indicted him not for the massacre of civilians, but for the massacre of prisoners during the war.

The prosecution's accusation against Togo Heihachiro is that during the First Sino-Japanese War, Togo Heihachiro had ordered the rescue of Qing sailors who had fallen into the water, but soon ordered all these Qing sailor prisoners to be shot en masse, and the number of Qing sailors who were killed was as large as 638.

In wars between countries, the killing of prisoners is not allowed, and it is okay if no one pursues it, but if it is investigated, the crime is not light, of course, the soldiers who execute it are innocent, and the guilty ones are the ones who ordered the massacre!

Heihachiro Togo has actually retired a long time ago, and he is already very old, but in the coup d'état launched by Masaki Terauchi, Heihachiro Togo contributed a lot, and he was Masaki Terauchi's right-hand man.

The senile Heihachiro Togo was sent to the dock, who would have imagined that this faltering old man would order the slaughter of 638 Qing Dynasty sailor prisoners of war?

After a heated debate, the prosecution asked the judge to testify as a witness, and the judge agreed, so a witness was brought in, a middle-aged man in his 40s, who looked like Sven and wore a pair of thick nearsighted glasses.

When Heihachiro Togo saw the middle-aged man, he didn't remember who it was for a long time, but soon the prosecutor's questioning of the witness cleared his doubts and made his face change greatly.

The prosecutor asked, "Witness, please tell the judge, the jurors, and everyone present who you are!" ”

Witness: "Distinguished judges, jurors, and spectators, hello, my name is Kawasaki Hanaki, 48 years old this year, during the Sino-Japanese War, I used to be one of Togo Heihachiro's entourage adjutants, and my main job is to be in charge of his daily life on the ship!" ”

After Kawasaki Hanaki revealed his identity, it immediately caused a sensation in the court, and everyone didn't expect that Togo Heihachiro's former adjutant would appear in court to testify against him, which surprised everyone, which also made many people have to wonder if Togo Heihachiro's character is problematic, otherwise how could a personal adjutant appear in court to testify against him?

The prosecutor asked: "May I ask the witness, did the defendant order the massacre of 638 Qing sailors and prisoners of war during the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle?" ”

The legendary flower tree said: "He ordered the slaughter of the Qing Dynasty's sailors and prisoners of war, I heard and saw it with my own ears, he did give such an order, I was by his side at the time, as for how many people were killed, I don't know, I only know that I came out of the cabin and saw that there were soldiers on each battleship with a group of Qing Dynasty sailors prisoners, and the soldiers made them kneel on the side of the ship, and then with an order, all the soldiers fired at the same time, and the Qing Dynasty sailors and prisoners of war were all killed and fell, Some of the corpses fell directly into the sea, and in the end, the soldiers only had to bend down to push the bodies of those Qing Dynasty sailors and prisoners of war into the sea very easily, and after the fleet passed, there were a large number of corpses of Qing Dynasty sailors and prisoners of war floating on the sea."

With Kawasaki Hanaki's statement, the atmosphere in the courtroom was extremely depressing, and this Kawasaki Hanaki's voice and sense of rhythm stated the matter, and the tone of the voice was very well controlled.

The prosecutor asked, "Witness, did you have a holiday with the accused?" ”

Kawasaki Hanaki shook his head and said: "I don't have a personal holiday with him, and even he is my benefactor, if it weren't for his promotion, my military rank would not have been promoted to the rank of major general!" ”

"Isn't it a little ungrateful for you to come forward and testify against him like this?"

Kawasaki Hanagi Yoshimasa said: "He is true that he is kind to me, I am very grateful to him, but he should not have collaborated with Terauchi Masayi to launch a coup d'état and let the military cabinet carry out dictatorship, as far as I know, the Chinese army did not intend to continue to attack the Japanese mainland after recovering the Bay Island and the Korean Peninsula, at that time the Okuma cabinet was already discussing the surrender to the Entente, and it was Togo Heihachiro and these people who launched a coup d'état without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and set up a military cabinet in a vain attempt to fight to the death with the Chinese country, And what they did dragged the whole of Japan and all the Japanese people into the quagmire of war, and it was because of the mistakes of a few people that they dragged the whole of Japan into the bottomless abyss, don't they deserve to die? Shouldn't they be sent to the gallows? ”

Prosecutor: "Your Excellency, I'm done!" (To be continued......)
