Chapter 932: Blood Sacrifice

When Shunroku Hata opened his eyes again, he found himself in the hospital. He was being treated while his hands and feet were tied.

The bright window let in the afterglow of the sunset, but Shunroku Hatata's mood was so heavy. He knew that he was captured, and Onodera betrayed him.

"Let's click~" There was a soft sound, and the door of the ward was opened. A man about forty years old dressed in a Wehrmacht uniform walked in, glanced at Shunroku Hata who had woken up, and snorted.

"Woke up?! Just wake up. "The man was followed by several warriors, who looked like guards and adjutants.

"I'm Qi Muden, commander-in-chief of the East China Military Region of the United Government National Defense Force." Qi Muden pointed at Shunroku Hata and said, "This time, you are defeated by my men." ”

The interpreter behind him faithfully translated Qi Muden's words, and Shunroku Hata struggled to sit up. But his physical strength and injuries did not allow him to do so.

It was only Qi Muden who gave him a look, and a few fighters went to untie Shunroku Hatata's rope and help him up.

"Your Excellency General, since I have fallen into your hands, what I want to know is what you plan to do with me?!" Shunroku Hata is relatively calm.

He had imagined his fate countless times, but he never imagined that he would wait for the enemy's verdict as a prisoner. When this has become an established fact, Shunroku Hatata's super mental quality allows him to stay calm.

"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to slaughter you." Qi Muden sneered, and Shunroku Hata's face was as dead as he heard this. After a while, he said, "General, you and I are both soldiers." Can you grant me a request?! ”

Qi Muden didn't nod or shake his head, hugged his arms and said, "You can talk about it." ”

"As a soldier, I am not afraid of death. From the day I joined the army, any battle could have killed me. Shunroku Hata looked at Qi Muden and said, "But I want to die with dignity." At least. Let me die like a soldier. ”

"Hahaha......" Qi Muden suddenly laughed wildly, and he laughed very happily. It seems to hear the funniest joke in the world. Shunroku Hata was a little puzzled, wondering why the commander-in-chief would laugh at his proposal.

"You're a soldier?!" Suddenly, Qi Muden's smile narrowed. A cold face. Shunroku Hata nodded. Qi Muden smiled again, Sensen's white teeth showing out of his mouth.

"The military specializes in massacres, rapes, robberies, gas bombs and even bacteriological bombs?!" Shunroku Hata's face was pale, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

What the Japanese army had done in China, he knew very well in his heart. The inhumane massacres in Zhejiang, and even the fact that entire villages were reduced to ruins overnight, happened on a regular basis.

Especially after the defeat in the Battle of Jinan. Those Japanese troops who came back from the front went crazy. Feeling that their time was short, they chose to massacre civilians countless times.

"In early May 1938, the Japanese raped more than 30 women in Beixiang, Longyou County, and 19 of them were killed; In Lingshan Village, 362 people, men, women, and children were slaughtered. ”

Subsequently, the Japanese invaders burned down the entire village's houses, the Jiujianglou hall and 198 barns. snatched more than 200 pigs, 3,340 poultry, and 66,800 pounds of grain; In the county seat, the west bridge deck of the Tongyu Bridge at the east gate, the three culverts, the 'Tianxiang Building' at the bridgehead, the railway bridge at Lingjiangxi in the south of the city, and 110 shophouses and private houses were blown up......"

"In mid-May 1938, the Japanese invaded Anren, Baijiang, and Qiantan...... In 11 counties, 24,596 people were slaughtered without reason, 105746 were injured and disabled, 38,472 houses were burned, 1.65 million stones of grain were stolen, and 28,821 cattle ......were cultivated for no reason.

Qi Muden asked the adjutant to take out a notebook. Gritted his teeth, he read it word by word to Shunroku Hata. Every time Qi Muden read a sentence, Shunroku Hata broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew what kind of virtue those subordinates were, but he never tried to count how many Chinese they had killed!

“…… Zhenjiang in Jiangsu fell, and the Japanese army massacred more than 50,000 local people. Women, the elderly, and children were all poisoned. The Japanese army cut off the heads of the people and hung them at the city gate to show off......"

Suddenly, Qi Muden Hula smashed this book directly on the face of Shunroku Hata and said word by word: "You are also soldiers?!" You deserve to be called a soldier?! ”

Shunroku Hata was pale and sweaty coldly, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

"According to the Geneva Conventions, we can ask for ......" Shunroku Hata swallowed with difficulty, the Geneva Conventions were his last straw.

He doesn't have much to hope for now. All he wanted was to save the lives of some of his soldiers.

"The Geneva Conventions also stipulate the use of poison gas bombs and bacteriological bombs, as well as the ...... that civilians cannot be slaughtered," said Qi Muden, sneering at Shunroku Hatata. These words were uttered in one breath.

Hata Shunroku's face was ashen, and he snorted for a while before he said, "I suggest that you still ask your superiors, after all, you have formed an alliance with the United States." Then you still have to abide by these rules......"

Qi Muden touched his chin with a little interest, and looked at Shunroku Hata without speaking. He was now starting to take some interest in the continent's first graduating general.

After looking at Shunroku Hata with the eyes of a cat and mouse for a long time, Qi Muden grinned and said, "You don't have to worry about this." Our commander-in-chief has a saying: The agreement we haven't signed is a fart! ”

"Even if it's an agreement we've signed, if it's good, then we'll have to treat this document as a piece of fart!" Qi Muden laughed and said to Shunroku Hata for a while: "Don't worry, I will let you live a little longer." ”

"Now our 'Shanghai Campaign' monument is being built, and the Shanghai Martyrs Cemetery is also being built." Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata and said, "When they are all built, you will be the blood sacrifice that belongs to the cemetery!" ”

"If I don't take your heads to the brothers who died in battle, where will I have the face to see them when I die!!" Without warning, Qi Muden roared: "Those who died under your miscellaneous butcher's knives, those who died under poison gas bombs and germ bombs!" How can they close their eyes without your heads to pay their respects?! ”

Qi Muden's face was hideous, and he looked like a vicious wolf who chose people to devour.

"I close my eyes now, and I can still hear those unjust souls crying out in hell! Didn't take the heads of you bastards to pay their respects, how did they look at them?! ”

"I'll be on a big day. I chopped you with my own hands! Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata and said word by word: "Enjoy it!" You don't have many days left. ”

Qi Muden's hideous face and bloody words made Shunroku Hata's heart tremble constantly. He is now beginning to regret why he came to China.

He regretted why he had chosen to indulge the Japanese soldiers in the first place. Even, he regretted why he chose to support the aggression against China. If it is such a shame to die, it is better to die now......

"Don't think about dying, if you die I will slaughter five thousand captives and put their heads on the altar in your place!" Qi Muden seemed to see what Shunroku Hata was thinking. He smiled coldly and said, "Live, live well." Wait until the day I rip you up. If you can't wait, I'll chop off the heads of five thousand Japanese prisoners in one fell swoop to replace yours! ”

Shunroku Hata collapsed on the hospital bed. With trembling lips, he whispered to Qi Muden: "Evil ghost! Devil!! You devil......"

The translator hesitated to translate this sentence, but looking at his commander's face, the translator still chose to tell Qi Muden these words as they were.

"I was originally human, but you forced me into a ghost ......" Qi Muden grinned, "When you bastards came to China and committed those massacres. and I have become your evil spirit. ”

"The purpose of my life is to chew up all your crumbs. Swallow ......" Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata and said word by word with great sincerity and seriousness: "I will let you go to hell." Because you bastards, you have turned my homeland into hell! ”

After saying this, Qi Mu left the ward without looking back. He had many important things, including organizing troops to prepare for an attack on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

At this time, the top brass of the coalition government is arguing over one thing. That's all about the execution of Shunroku Hatata.

"It's not that I disagree with the execution of Shunroku Hatata, in fact I strongly agree with his execution. But with such cruel means. This is something that has never happened in the international arena. The execution of an enemy general by chopping is obviously beyond the bottom line......"

The speaker was Luo Wengan, former minister of justice and administration of the Nanjing State Government, now a professor at Huaqing University, and a former member of the Tanggu Armistice Agreement.

"What?! Could it be that what those Japanese do is humane?! Mei Ruxuan, the ** official of the Judicial Yuan of the United Government, sneered and said: "If they do the first year of junior high school, we can do the fifteenth!" ”

"As General Qi said, if you don't let these Japanese criminals pay the price of blood, how can the souls of those compatriots who died tragically rest in peace?!" Mei Ruxuan's face turned pale. Gritted his teeth, he said: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have this ability, I would have wanted to carry out this punishment with my own hands!" ”

"You ......" Luo Wengan wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Shizhao.

"That's it! Jun Ren, you don't have to say much. This Shunroku Hatata. He's dead! And it has to be a chopping! As soon as Zhang Shizhao's words came out, Luo Wengan knew that the matter had been decided. I could only sigh helplessly.

Zhang Shizhao's prestige in the academic world and in China is beyond doubt. If even he is in favor of this. Then Luo Wengan is invalid even if he opposes it.

And the Japanese have indeed gone too far, and it is estimated that not many people will think that such a treatment of Shunroku Hata will be excessive. It might even be a thrill.

In all fairness, Luo Wengan is not a bad person. But his political IQ is really not very good, and he often does politics with a chivalrous mentality and romanticism.

This can be seen from the fact that in 1922 he entered into the "Austrian Loan Extension Contract", which led to several arrests. At that time, this contract led to his House of Representatives Speaker Wu Jinglian to accuse him of accepting bribes, and although there was no substantiated evidence, he was arrested several times.

However, Luo Wengan's popularity was good, and Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University at the time, resigned because Luo Wengan was arrested several times, and although there was no evidence, he was still detained and angry.

If he had enough political wisdom, he would not have fallen into this matter.

"I agree with Heqing." Lin Sen, the chairman of the coalition government, who had not spoken, spoke at this time, but after seeing him glance at everyone, he said: "There is nothing to fight about, since the Japanese have become beasts, we will also do it!" A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! ”

"Chairman, are the beasts inhuman, and we are inhuman?!" Luo Wengan, a romantic, couldn't help but say: "We are human beings. And not beasts! I agree to the execution of Shunroku Hatata, but the use of chopping will damage our reputation too much! Others will think we are a cruel nation......"

Tu Menghu, who had been closing his eyes and not speaking, heard this sentence and suddenly opened his eyes. Although Tu Menghu didn't say a word, the moment he opened his eyes, the temperature of the entire conference room seemed to drop a few points all of a sudden.

All the arguments and arguments have stopped. Everyone looked at the place where the tiger was sitting.

"What about cruelty?!" Maybe he hadn't spoken for too long, and Tu Menghu's voice was a little hoarse. But this hoarse voice made no one in the room dare to interrupt.

"What I want is that they are afraid!" Tu Menghu glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Friends are here, there is good wine." The jackals are coming, there are shotguns! ”

"I said it. Any person or country can try to take advantage of us, to oppress or even invade us. "The words of the slaughtering tiger always came with a smell of blood and rust. That sentence has always been so sonorous and powerful.

"They can start the war as they wish, but don't be delusional that the war will continue on their whim!" The tiger's voice was not high, but everyone present seemed to hear the roar of the tiger in his chest.

"I want to let all those who try to humiliate and hurt our country, our nation and our people know. I'm going to pay them back twice as much for what they've done here! Tu Menghu stood up abruptly and looked at everyone's words word by word.

"I will use the blood of the Japanese to tell those who have different hearts. If you want to take advantage of us, be prepared to die ugly! ”

At the same time, a group of people in the White House were discussing the matter. In attendance, there was even a slaughtered tiger in Washington.

"Why didn't Mrs. Song come?! It's a shame not to meet this lady with such a remarkable style. Little John laughed and joked with Tiger Slayer.

And Tu Tiger laughed. Said: "This time we are talking about bloody things. Mrs. Song is such a clean eldest sister, I don't want her to touch this blood. And I'm a fighter, so it doesn't matter. ”

Tu Menghu didn't go around in circles, and he made his words clear in one breath. Seeing Tu Menghu say this. Roosevelt, who was sitting at the edge of the table, couldn't help but sigh.

"Tiger, it seems that you have really gone too far this time." Roosevelt pondered his words and said to the gunner: "Even if you hang Shunroku Hatata, it will cause a huge sensation." A general faces death after being captured, which is unimaginable before the war is over......"

Roosevelt said carefully to the three guns. Or rather, the habits of the Western world. Until a complete victory in the war was achieved, they seldom directly executed enemy generals.

On the one hand, they are afraid that this will lead to hatred and make the war endless. On the other hand. It is also a custom that has been handed down from the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, it was possible to redeem nobles captured in war. As long as there is a price to pay.

Of course, there is no explicit provision for this, but only a tacit understanding between the belligerents. The Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, of the Second Geneva Convention of July 1929, is explicitly prescribed.

"Ruici, I know what you said." Tu Menghu lit the table, looked at Roosevelt without evasion, and said: "But I also know that the Japanese have not abided by this convention at all. ”

"That's the number one. Second, we, the National Defense Forces, and the coalition government, have never signed this agreement. So it doesn't matter if it's violated. Saying that, Tu Laohu paused and said, "Don't worry! In this case, it is only for the Japanese. We will make an announcement to expose all the 'great achievements' of the Japanese. I'm sure it won't make a difference. ”

Roosevelt sighed, it seems that this Shunroku Hata and those captured Japanese may not have a few lives. No way, who told them to kill themselves?!

The character of the slaughtering tiger is something that Roosevelt now knows more or less. This is a master who only takes advantage and refuses to suffer. The frenzied massacres of the Japanese throughout China have undoubtedly angered the tiger.

It's just that he has been holding back, waiting for the day when he breaks out. In fact, if it weren't for the announcement of the coalition government to pay tribute to the martyrs of the Battle of Shanghai, Roosevelt wouldn't have wanted to have much trouble.

In fact, Roosevelt had known the attitude of the Wehrmacht in dealing with the Japanese. Eisenhower mentioned these things in his report, and the Wehrmacht took few prisoners in the war against Japan.

It's a strange thing. Supposedly, the Wehrmacht fought so many times with the Japanese army, and nearly a million Japanese troops were annihilated, but not a single prisoner was captured, isn't it strange?!

Even the Japanese fought to the death, but there are always those who are seriously injured and captured unconscious, right?! But there is not a single such thing, which already speaks to the attitude of the Wehrmacht. That is, there was no need for any Japanese prisoners, all of whom died without exception.

But it doesn't matter if you do this kind of thing in secret. If you take it out with great fanfare and do it, it's not going to happen. After all, this is everyone's common convention, and it is also what must be done on the surface.

"I said Tiger, can't you just quietly kill Shunroku Hata ?! In that case, we will not make any comments. Roosevelt lamented, "But now you have made such a big fuss, what position do you want us to face this matter from?!" ”

"Instead of talking about this, let's talk about the two Japanese aircraft carriers and four battleships that we bombed." Pao Ye shrugged his shoulders very beautifully and said, "I personally think that this matter is more important. ”

ps: Take the child to the hospital tomorrow for vaccination, and then prepare to go to Haikou to test the license plate...... Everyone, I wish Xiaochao a smooth exam on the 16th! This way, you don't have to worry about it in the future, and you have more time codewords!
