Chapter 238: The Power of Anger
Is anger a force of force? Be. Can anger kill people? Hard.
Gu Shoufu can calmly watch his subordinates do all kinds of murder and robbery, his psychological quality is hard enough, right? In the eyes of this kind of person, human life is like grass mustard, so he must not be afraid of grass mustard's anger? Otherwise. After waking up, the old devil panicked in the face of the cold and emotionless eyes of the student soldiers who were guarding him. As the best student soldier, Wolf Tooth has a lot of dirty blood on his hands. Every time the wolf tooth stops there, it will exude a murderous aura from the inside out. They just stood quietly beside Gu Shoufu, but they gave the old devil an iceberg-like sense of oppression. The old devil knew that he would be interrogated, and it was a public trial, and he once forced himself to be calm, to behave like an imperial general, and to behave like a righteous and awe-inspiring person in the face of Ganki Jutaro and others. There is determination, but it is difficult to really do it - when he cares about other people's lives, the old devil does not change his face and does not even blink his eyes, but when his life is hanging by a thread, the unknown of death makes his forehead tremble.
The old devil, Qian Jiangichiro and others were escorted into the public trial square while standing in an open-top truck. As soon as the escort team came out of the detention center, it was surrounded by a crowd. The old devil received "preferential treatment" and rode alone in a military truck, with a sign hanging around his neck that read, "Gu Shoufu: Commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army Invading China by the planner of the tragedy in Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village." When the old devil was put on this sign, he once shouted that this was an insult to him, and it was not the treatment that a soldier should receive. However, after being squinted at by a wolf fang beside him with the eyes of a dead man, a chill rose from his heart, and the other words were frozen in his throat immediately, and he could never come out again.
There will definitely be a lot of people to watch the public trial, and Gu Shoufu is mentally prepared for this. He even thought about it, to calmly and indifferently face the angry eyes around him, and regard it as a kind of praise for his military career—doesn't the reason why the enemy hates him mean that he is strong and successful? Because of this idea, when told that he could justify his actions, he also spent a full three hours drafting a self-defense, intending to make a splash at the public trial and fully demonstrate the knowledge and bearing of an imperial general. However, when he was truly in the focus of thousands of angry eyes, the old devil's head stood tall and lowered in less than two seconds.
Anger is also a kind of strength, and the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of angry eyes made the old devil's back instantly wet with cold sweat. He expected to be surrounded by onlookers, but he didn't expect there to be such a large number of people. Ten thousand or one hundred thousand? Maybe more. I don't know who shouted: "It's Gu Shoufu!" "The silent streets suddenly became noisy." Kill him", "Revenge for the Southern Courtyard"...... All kinds of shouts and angry eyes rushed towards Gu Shoufu, making him feel that he had suddenly become a team of dry firewood, and the air around him suddenly became hot, as if he would be ignited at any moment.
What did Gu Shoufu want to see Ouyang Yun last night? Guo Kui's understanding is that the old devil's curiosity and unconvinced mentality are the trouble, and the real answer is only known to the old devil himself. The old devil was escorted from Fuding to Guangzhou, and everything he saw along the way was a thriving scene. On the way, I passed through several military strongholds of the Xuebing Army, and I was even more shocked by its solemn scene, and I felt a trace of fear in my heart. The reason why he wanted to see Ouyang Yun was actually to explain to Ouyang Yun that the occurrence of the tragedy in the Southern Courtyard was an act of war—since it was an act of war, it was inevitable that there would be civilian casualties. The old devil is still unrepentant when he dies, and he still wants to make excuses for his actions. It's a pity that Ouyang Yun didn't bother to see him at all. Gu Shoufu may think that as a lieutenant general, he has the value of meeting Ouyang Yun alone, but in Ouyang Yun's eyes, he is no different from Qian Jiang Ichiro and others - he is just a war criminal.
In the public trial of Gu Shoufu and others, the military might of the Zhuang Xuebing army is one aspect, and the more important point is that Ouyang Yun hopes to warn the Japanese army by killing a hundred people, so that they will be more restrained in the future and dare not wantonly kill Chinese soldiers and civilians again.
On the day of the public trial, there were no detailed statistics on how many people watched. As for Li Ziwen, who is in charge of live TV and radio broadcasts, it will not be less than one million.
The public trial took place on the square outside the Guangzhou Municipal Government and under the Monument to the Martyrs of the Cadet Army. The public trial meeting was presided over by Ji Xingwen, and on a temporary 13-meter-high platform, Ji Xingwen first disclosed the time and details of the tragedy in Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village, as well as the number of soldiers and civilians killed, and then announced the culprit who planned and created this tragedy - "Compatriots, as you know, the purpose of our army is to pay for our debts with blood, and never let go of any powerful force or individual who dares to kill our Chinese citizens. Since the commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Gu Shoufu, dared to violate international practice and brazenly let the so-called 'Breaking Fujian Advance Team' and 'Main Island Brigade' under his command slaughter the civilians of our Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village, he would inevitably have to bear the thunderous wrath of all the soldiers and civilians of our Cadet Army -- the occurrence of the Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village massacres was a major retrogression in the history of human civilization and shocked all countries in the world. As an armed force that loves peace in the world and is committed to creating a new world order, our student army will never allow the frenzied Japanese militarists to wantonly trample on it, nor will it allow the criminals who caused these two tragedies to go unpunished--General Ouyang Yun, commander-in-chief of our student army, was shocked to learn of the tragedy, and he was filled with grief and indignation and could not sleep all night, worked out a plan of action overnight, and instructed all units of the student army to arrest the executioners headed by Gu Shoufu at all costs. Let me tell you the good news, through the efforts of all the officers and men of our Cadet Corps, in the list of main criminals issued by the commander-in-chief, except for the chief of staff of the 6th Division, Shimono Kazuho, who was killed on the spot, all the others were captured alive - compatriots! Today, we are holding a public trial meeting here, not only to comfort the soldiers and civilians killed in the tragedy of Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village, but also to officially send a warning to the Japanese army and those puppet soldiers who aided in rebellion. But as long as there are still those who dare to kill my civilians, the fate of Gu Shoufu, Qian Jiang Ichiro and others is your example! Now, I declare the public trial session open. Soldiers, bring Gu Shoufu and other criminals here! ”
At this public trial meeting, the Scholar Army won a series of great victories in the Shangying and Fuding areas, and achieved an overwhelming military advantage, and the top management of the Scholar Army intended to use this to boost the morale of the people and accumulate popularity, so the scale was very large and formal. Lawyer's bench and witness bench are all available.
In addition to the ordinary people who spontaneously participated in the meeting and the high-level leaders of the student army, the consul generals of Western countries in Guangzhou, such as Reed'an and George, were invited to the scene. In addition, representatives of a number of international organizations and representatives of some enterprises were invited.
And because of their participation, the level of this public trial conference has skyrocketed, as if it has the flavor of an international public trial, which further suppressed the aura of Gu Shoufu and other devils, and also raised the status of the student army to a new height.
