Chapter 995 In the Name of Justice (First update, please subscribe)
As the car drove into the official residence, Mei Yaxuan cast his eyes towards the Victorian building.

This was not his first time to come to the official residence, but this time was different from the past - just a week ago, he received a message from his colleagues to prepare for the court session.

Court is in session!
What court is it?
Of course, it is to reopen the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, but this International Military Tribunal for the Far East only has two countries, Tangshan and Nanyang.

In fact, it cannot even be said about Tangshan, because he was just a judge sent by Tangshan that year. Although he was not removed from his post, it is well known that the International Military Tribunal for the Far East has been suspended for many years.

But Nanyang doesn't think so.

"As long as we have not relieved you of your duties, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East will not be dissolved. They have withdrawn their personnel, which is their business. We... can still continue to perform the responsibilities of the International Military Tribunal!"

This was what the Excellency had said to him when he first came to the official residence.

In the past few years, Mei Yaxuan has been waiting for this day to come. The reason why he has stayed here is because of the promise made to him by that Excellency.

"One day we will bring all the war criminals before our courts and make them pay for their atrocities."

"It is God's business to forgive them, and our responsibility is to send them to see God."

Although Mei Yaxuan, like you, does not believe in God, your words touched his heart.

Yes, it is God's business to forgive them, just send them to see God.

After waiting for so many years, this day has finally come.

When the car stopped in front of the official residence, Mei Yaxuan collected his confused mind, then he got out of the car and walked into the official residence under the guidance of the office staff. Soon, he entered the office.

"Sit down!" Li Yian pointed to a cushioned chair in front of the large desk. When Meia sat down, he stared at the former judge of the International Military Tribunal with his sharp eyes.

"Doctor, you should know why I called you over!"

"Yes."

Mei Yaxuan said.

"It is to bring to justice all those who should be brought to justice!"

"right,"

Li Yian nodded and said.

"I don't know what you think, but in my opinion, we must bring all those who deserve the punishment to justice and must try them. This is to comfort our compatriots who died. But as we all know, from the past to the present, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries have always been based on political considerations and have no interest in upholding justice at all. But I am different..."

As Li Yian spoke, he looked at the elder in front of him. In another world, his experience was extremely regrettable, but now Li Yian had only one wish - to achieve justice.

"In Nanyang, all courts have a sentence engraved on them - even if the sky falls, justice must be achieved! And this is also the purpose of my support for the establishment of a special military court, its purpose is to achieve justice! Justice must be practiced. People often say that justice should not be absent or late. Justice delayed is not justice at all."

Li Yian's tone sounded extremely serious, he looked at Mei Yaxuan and said.

"Justice is now late. I hope you can expose the crimes of those war criminals to the world in the coming days so that justice will not be absent!"

"I see."

Mei Yaxuan thought for a moment and said.

"Your Excellency, you should know that doing this may cause a lot of criticism in Nanyang. After all, from the perspective of international law..."

As a legal expert, he was very clear that Nanyang had violated international law in this matter, and one could even describe Nanyang's actions as trampling on international law.

This is bound to provoke backlash from the international community.

"International law, did international law protect our compatriots back then?"

Li Yian asked rhetorically.

"I have never been afraid of criticism. I only care about one thing - how to comfort our compatriots, that's all!"

Looking at Mei Yaxuan with a serious expression, Li Yian smiled.

"I will handle the international pressure. You just need to judge them according to the law and ensure justice is served. As for the international pressure!"

Li Yian said, leaning his hands on the table.

"In the eyes of other countries, this seems very important, but Nanyang... By the way, don't many people say that Nanyang is hegemonic? That's right, Nanyang is hegemonic, not only hegemonic, but also extremely hegemonic!"

Sometimes, power is still very useful. Although many people oppose hegemony, in fact, what they oppose is only other countries' hegemony over them. When their own country implements hegemony, they often applaud. Seeing that my motherland is so rogue, I feel relieved.

Now Nanyang...just wants to reassure everyone!
After that, Li Yian stood up and said,
"We will not only try them, but we will also broadcast the entire trial process directly to the whole world via communication satellites. We must let people all over the world see the crimes those people have committed!"

"Satellite live broadcast?"

"Correct!"

Li Yian nodded and said.

"It's a satellite live broadcast. We want the whole world to see that this is a fair trial. Right and wrong is in the hearts of the people. No matter who they are, all of them must be judged with justice!"

Why have the war criminals been tried until now? One reason is that many of them are imprisoned in other countries. They may even be pardoned by those countries. We have to wait for those countries to send them out.

Secondly, it is because of technology. Before Nanyang launched artificial satellites, even if a trial was held, it would not cause any response worldwide. It would even only be accused of "Nanyang practicing hegemony and violating international public law" through propaganda in some countries. But now with artificial communication satellites, Nanyang has the right to speak and can let the whole world see a fair trial through live TV broadcasts.

“Whether it was the Tokyo Trial or the Nuremberg Trial, ordinary people knew almost nothing about their crimes except for reading the trial results in newspapers. The reason was that they could not witness the crimes of war criminals with their own eyes. This is also the fundamental reason why a few countries can protect war criminals for political purposes. But now, we use artificial satellites to let people all over the world see a trial. This trial is not behind closed doors, but an open trial. That’s right, it’s a public trial!”

Li Yian nodded and said.

"We should put the trial under the sun, let people all over the world judge those war criminals and make their crimes public. We should believe that right and wrong are in the hearts of the people!"

At least, there is still injustice now. After all, this is not an era where white leftists are in power and no distinction is made between right and wrong. Thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help but look forward to this trial.

There is another reason. It has not been long since the end of World War II, and such a public trial can gain the greatest recognition from people all over the world.

After all, they feel the same about war.

Unlike in another world, when the Nanjing Massacre was mentioned again in the 90s, not many people in the world cared about it, because for the people in Europe and the United States, the war was long gone. What relationship did those war crimes have to them?

But now it is different - those who experienced the war and were called the greatest generation are now in their prime and are in the middle of society.

They have experienced war and naturally feel the atrocities of war.

Therefore, by exposing Japan's atrocities in this way, we can win the support of various countries to the greatest extent. Of course, we can also reveal the most brutal side of the Japanese to the world, thus dealing the most fatal blow to Japan fundamentally.

From then on, when people mentioned the Japanese, the first thing they thought of was their beastly behavior during the war!

Well, it means to completely destroy Japan in terms of reputation.

Why did Hatoyama, upon hearing that the trial would be open, rush to send his foreign minister to request negotiations, even at any cost?

Because he knew very well that those atrocities must never be made public. Once known to the world, Japan would never be forgiven.

That's why they are willing to pay compensation!
But the problem is that Li Yian wants the money, but he also wants the person to be interrogated.

"In the past few years, thousands of war criminals with blood on their hands have been imprisoned in prisons in Southeast Asia. We even captured a shipload of war criminals. Now, let the world see how we achieve justice!"

Li Yian made a gesture and said.

"Now, we need to let the whole world see this, Dr. May, that's all I ask."

Faced with the request made by His Excellency, Mei Yaxuan felt an unprecedented sense of mission, he said.

"Sir, the trial of so many war criminals may take a long time, and Nanyang will also be under a lot of pressure. After all, this is not in line with international law!"

"I will bear the pressure. Dr. Mei, you don't need to worry about this issue. As long as it is a fair and just trial, our principle is to never let any bad guy go!"

As for wrongly accusing good people...with the character of the Japanese, anyone who had been to Tangshan would be brought here one by one and beheaded, and there would be no chance of injustice!

Then they talked about the trial for a while. When they were about to leave, Mei Yaxuan hesitated for a moment and asked a question that was suppressed deep in his heart.

"Sir, may I know why now?"

Mei Yaxuan was very curious. As a judge of the special military court, he knew that many war criminals had been secretly arrested in Nanyang several years ago, but they had never been tried. They already had solid evidence of their crimes in their hands.

"because……"

Li Yian thought about it and answered truthfully.

"Because the timing is more appropriate now. In the coming days, many countries will see the crimes committed by Japan during the war!"
