Chapter 535: Can’t Forget (First update, please subscribe)
Although the conversion of plantations into villas caused an uproar in Southeast Asian public opinion, in fact... that's just it.

The dispute is nothing more than the public saying that the public is right, and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is right.

On the one hand, it is not prohibited by law, but on the other hand, it is against national policy.

Although the relevant departments reacted fiercely and even took administrative measures to stop the construction, the other side was also unceremonious and hired a group of lawyers to file a lawsuit in court. There are even lawyers who have come forward to litigate on their behalf.

Now this matter is making a fuss, and almost everyone is watching the excitement and how the situation develops, but the final progress of the incident depends on the outcome of the court proceedings. This also transferred the pressure to the court. As the Supreme Court Justice Zheng Tianxi, when facing inquiries from the outside world, he answered with only one sentence - everything should be based on the law.

So lawyers from both sides began to debate in court. No one knew what this lawsuit would bring to Nanyang, but what is certain is that many people are paying attention to the progress of this case.

There were officials, lawyers, and of course some academics.

"After Judge Du Hongjie ruled, the first trial of the Arthur Rubber Company's land use violation case will begin on February 2. Lu Youming, the lawyer representing Arthur Rubber Company, said..."

In the early morning, the middle-aged man with a mustache in the restaurant frowned while reading the newspaper reports, as if he was thinking about something.

"Dr. Mei, what do you think about this case?"

Wu Tingyu said after taking a sip of soup.

I'm afraid this will be a confusing case in the end!
In fact, deep down in his heart, Dr. Mei hopes that this is not a confusing case, and even hopes that this case can really be like what Justice Zheng Tianxi said - everything is based on the law. After all, for thousands of years, history books are full of It's always about power, the law... who cares?

Facing his friend's question, Dr. Mei thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Why, you haven't made up your mind yet?"

For a moment, the restaurant was full of laughter. Facing the laughter of the diners, Dr. Mei just immersed himself in eating breakfast. He couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself.

"Individuals want to save face, and the government also wants to save face. This matter could have been closed down, but Chen Liang and others took advantage of legal loopholes and tried to use the judiciary to endorse their illegal behavior. This is simply nonsense. Especially some people. He even used this incident to make himself famous and encouraged Chen Liang and others to oppose the government. "

"Who can be greater than who?"

Face...is really important.

As soon as Dr. Mei finished speaking, someone at the table said.

"Haha, it's only a few dozen days. If you want to be level, how can you run away in despair?"

As an official, Wu Tingyu naturally prefers the relevant departments. Sometimes, face is also very important.

"That's not because people are greedy enough."

"It's easy to talk about. The relevant departments don't want to lose face."

Seeing that Dr. Mei was silent, Wu Tingyu changed the topic and asked.

"That's right, sir, since ancient times, as long as the official says that you have committed a crime, then you must have committed a crime. The man named Chen... was even the mayor!"

Dr. Mei, who studied at the University of Chicago Law School, clearly knows the answer in his heart, but knowing is knowing, and reality is reality. In the past twenty years, he has experienced too many things, and he naturally knows which is more important.

"The problem is... Chen Liang and the others did not break the law."

"That kind of corrupt official in Nanyang is not honest. He deserves to die."

"Didn't the Supreme Court say that everything should be governed by the law?"

"Look, isn't retribution coming now?"

"Does Fa Neng have any power?"

"Hey, you know me. I came here to hope that the trial in Tokyo will be reopened. If possible, I still hope to return to Tangshan. After all, that is my home."

After that, Dr. Mei sighed and said.

"I'm afraid I might betray Mr. Song."

As Mr. Song's assistant during his tenure as President of the Executive Yuan, he left Tokyo and came to Nanyang last year at the invitation of Mr. Song. The reason why he stayed here was to reopen the Tokyo Trial, but it has been delayed until now. As one of the presiding judges of the Tokyo Trial, Dr. Mei's biggest regret is that many war criminals have not been held accountable for their crimes. There are not only thousands of Japanese soldiers who committed heinous crimes, but even many businessmen should also be held accountable for their war crimes. .

But this was just his idea. Because of this, last year, after receiving a telegram from Mr. Song and learning that Nanyang intended to reopen the Tokyo International Tribunal, he came to Nanyang with prosecutor Dr. Xiang. But this stay lasted for several months, and until now there has been no news.

On the other hand, as the situation in Tangshan changes, they all hope to return to Tangshan and contribute to national construction.

"No rush, no rush, Mr. Song said, wait a little longer, maybe the change has just happened recently. Your Excellency visited the United States two years ago and communicated with the President of the United States on issues such as the Tokyo War Criminals Trial. Washington supports the establishment of a special court in principle to investigate The crimes of war criminals, though?”

Lowering his voice, Wu Tingyu said.

"There must be an international court trial. If only Nanyang participates, what kind of international court will we talk about? Among the twelve countries in the Tokyo Tribunal, except Nanyang, you were the only one who was willing to pursue prosecution, so..."

Looking at Dr. Mei thoughtfully, Wu Tingyu said.

"Your Excellency's intention is very clear, that is, I hope that Dr. Mei and Dr. Xiang will continue to serve as judges and prosecutors, and at the appropriate time, jointly establish a special international tribunal with Nanyang to prosecute those escaped war criminals."

After a moment of reflection, Dr. May said.

"So what if the United States insists on its unwillingness to form a special international tribunal?"

The reason why he asked this was because everyone knew that the United States was leading some things, such as the Tokyo Trial. If Marshal Mai hadn't intervened, how could only a few people have been tried?

Wu Tingyu said quickly.

"Your Excellency has said that if the United States does not support it, then Nanyang will set up a special court to conduct trials directly in Nanyang, and will organize special forces to bring war criminals to the court and make their crimes known to the world!"

"Is this what your Excellency said?"

Dr. May asked.

"It's true."

Lest Dr. Mei didn't believe it, Wu Tingyu said again.

"You know, your Excellency has a personal grudge against the Japanese,"

This is true. As we all know, that Excellency's family all died tragically in the massacre by the Japanese army, and the grudges between them cannot be resolved. It is perfectly normal to want to seek revenge against the Japanese.

Repaying kindness with kindness definitely doesn't make sense to him.

Dr. Mei said with a nod.

"How many Chinese people have no personal grudges against the Japanese!"

After a long sigh, Dr. Mei said.

"I hope you can push this matter forward as soon as possible."

"That is necessary, Dr. Mei, don't worry, you will definitely push this matter with all your strength. Otherwise, we would not have kept so many prisoners of war here, and even transported more than one million prisoners of war from Kyushu "What Dr. Mei doesn't know is that from the mouths of those prisoners of war, we have discovered more than 10,000 war criminals who owe blood debts. Think about it, how many war criminals in Japan owe us blood debts!"

How many people owe blood debts?
Dr. Mei didn't know, but one thing that was certain was that Nanyang never let those people go. They even introduced the guillotine from France just to execute war criminals.

Nanyang!
It's still different after all, but...

When leaving the restaurant, Dr. Mei once again set his sights on the north, which is his home!

"Special Court, Rangers..."

Thinking about this problem, Dr. Mei walked home with an umbrella in hand.

Just at this moment, with a thunder, it rained heavily again. This is always the case in Nanyang during the rainy season. It rains continuously, making people feel a little depressed...
