Chapter 334: Humphrey, Do You Love India? (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

Colonel Humphrey is all circled, is there a clause in this Vienna Convention that mercenaries cannot enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war? There seems to be, and there doesn't seem to be...... Hell, he hadn't read the Vienna Prisoners of War Convention at all!

Moreover, how can the inability to enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war and the death penalty be equated? What did he do to die?

"I, what did I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me? ”

Faced with the threat of the death penalty, Colonel Humphrey also panicked, and that elegant, unfazed gentlemanly demeanor had disappeared without a trace.

Of course, Zhuge Weidao would not answer Hanfulai's question, but said to him in a dignified tone: "Colonel Hanfulai, please answer truthfully, are you British or Indian?" ”

Hearing this kind of question, Humphrey didn't bother with his anger, whether it was an English or an Indian, wouldn't you, a military inspector, look at it? Blonde brown-eyed ...... Who do you say?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth in curry-flavored English: "Sir, I am an Indian...... Although I am 100% English, I have become an Indian citizen, so I am a true Indian. ”

"That's the case...... Zhuge Weidao looked at Han Fulai, "how do you prove that you are Indian?" ”

"How do you prove it?" Humphrey didn't know what to say for a moment.

He didn't actually lie, and after Emperor Wilhelm "legitimately usurped the throne", he granted Imperial Indian citizenship to every white man who followed him. Of course, Humphrey was also a citizen of the United Kingdom, not a British overseas national. And Humphrey doesn't remember any British National (Overseas) passports...... There are only two kinds of citizens in the United Kingdom: native nationals and territorial nationals, and there are no overseas nationals at all!

When Hanfulai came to the circle, Guo Xiaobao, who was sitting next to Zhuge Weidao, spoke kindly: "Colonel Hanfulai, I am Major Guo Xiaobao, the lawyer prepared for you by the Malayan War Criminals Tribunal. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. ”

And lawyers...... The more Humphrey heard this, the more furious his heart became!

Although he doesn't know what happened yet? But one thing is for sure, he can't be trivial!

"Lawyer Guo," Humphrey asked, "can you tell me what happened?" ”

Guo Xiaobao didn't answer, but looked back at Zhuge Weidao. Zhuge Weidao took out a black and white photo from his briefcase and handed it to Guo Xiaobao. Guo Xiaobao took the photo, got up and walked to Humphrey's side, and handed him the photo. Humphrey took the photo and looked at it...... "Lying corpses" in one place! All dressed in Han Chinese costumes.

"It was taken near Baharu in Gotha!" Guo Xiaobao said solemnly, "A total of 119 people were killed...... The dead were all civilians, expatriates from the Ming Dynasty, and the bullets that killed them were the bullets of the new bass rifles!

The Army's Military Prosecutor's Office has begun an investigation into the matter...... And you're suspicious! Because you are the supreme commander of the garrison of Gotha Baharu, even if you cannot order it yourself, it must be done by your subordinates.

If you are not Indian, you lose your prisoner of war status, you are no longer protected by the Vienna Convention, and you ......"

Humphrey realized the seriousness of the problem!

This must have been done by his defeated soldiers! Who else could it be? The Japanese devils who attacked Gotha Baharu? They are the dogs of the Ming Dynasty, how dare they kill the expatriates of the Ming Dynasty?

"I'm Indian! I'm really Indian! "Humphrey really wants to be an Indian now.

Because he can't be an Indian, he is not protected by that "convention", so the military procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty still wants to rectify him?

"But you just said you were a real Englishman!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Since the Ming Dynasty and Britain are not currently in a state of war, you, as a British national, are not legitimate belligerents, but mercenaries...... We, the Military Prosecutor's Office, can use all means to interrogate captured mercenaries! ”

It's going to kill someone! Humphrey already sensed that this person who called himself "Ge Qingyun" was very dangerous. There was hatred in his eyes when he looked at him...... Could it be that he had relatives killed in Baharu, Gotha?

"I'm really Indian!" Humphrey's curry flavor is even stronger, "Although I am an Anglo-Saxon from England, I have Indian nationality!" ”

"How do you prove that you have Indian citizenship?" Zhuge said solemnly, "Han Fulai, it's not that I don't believe you, but our Ming justice is about evidence." I ask you...... Do you love India? ”

Love India?

Humphrey thought to himself, "Do you think that India is as worthy of love as your Ming major?" Who will love her but Kaiser Wilhelm? ”

Thinking of this, Humphrey shook his head and said, "No, I don't love India!" Although I am an Indian, I don't love India at all. ”

"Oh?" Zhuge Weidao laughed, "Why? ”

"Because in India, most people of my stature don't love India and are ashamed of who they are Indian," Humpher said. ”

"Why is that?" Guo Xiaobao couldn't understand. As a citizen of the new Ming Dynasty, in his eyes, there is no difference between India and the Western powers - they are almost rotten! So he couldn't understand how an Indian elite who had been trained by the British colonizers viewed the civilization and progress of the British Empire.

"Because they think India is very bad, poor, and backward," Zhuge Weidao can understand the thoughts of those "high Indians," and Britain ...... It's a little better than India! ”

Guo Xiaobao looked disdainful, "It's not much better, Britain is the smallest country, it has always been a poor and remote country, and it is nothing more than taking advantage of the frequent wars in Europe to suck the blood of Europe, and conquering India to exploit it on a large scale...... When India is liberated, gets rid of British exploitation, abolishes the caste system, implements the equal-land system, runs compulsory education, and develops industry, it will be able to catch up with Britain in a few decades. ”

Listening to Guo Xiaobao's words, Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but frown again - in addition to self-confidence and silly white sweetness, the Chinese on this timeline also have special salvation feelings, thinking that Daming is the savior, and always want to export the combination of Daming's "equality", "Juntian" and "emphasis on education" to the world! It's quite similar to the developed natural choice of America in some ways!

"Han Fulai," Zhuge Weidao looked at Han Fulai, "You are an Indian, so you must know the situation in India very well, you can tell me, is it possible for what lawyer Guo said to be realized in India?" Let's be honest...... It's your fate! ”

Of course, Zhuge Weidao did not come to find the mastermind of the Gotha Baharu massacre, because there was no such massacre at all. The real purpose of his coming to the prisoner of war camp in Malacca is only one - to find a traitor!

And if you want to print traitors, of course, you must first find a British traitor who is willing to cooperate - Indian traitors are all under the control of British traitors. As long as one traitor is dealt with, there will be hundreds or thousands of traitors below, how easy is this?

However, the current Ming Dynasty is to subdue people with virtue, and it still governs the country and the army according to law, and it cannot hang all the British in the Malacca prisoner of war camp and beat them...... Therefore, Zhuge Weidao could only "use tricks" to scare the British officers in the prisoner of war camp.

And Humphrey was only the first to be frightened, if he didn't agree, Zhuge Weidao couldn't do anything about him, so he could only change people. Although Zhuge Weidao was a member of the core group of the number one family in the Ming Dynasty, rear admiral, admiral of the First Naval Battle, and Admiral of the Naval Aviation. It's a high authority! But he had no way to brazenly slaughter a foreign prisoner of war who had been reduced to a prisoner...... Not only did he have no choice, but the chief of staff of the Nanyang Regiment, Major General Cheng Guoxian, could not do it either, although the commanders of the Malacca prisoner of war camp were all his subordinates.

"Impossible, India's national conditions are completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty, she, oh, it should be that what they need is not liberation, but conquest......" Han Fulai seemed to have realized something at this time, but he remained silent and began to teach Guo Xiaobao a lesson according to the meaning of Zhuge Weidao.
