Chapter 997 The Razor of Justice (rd update, please subscribe)

Early in the morning, when people are still asleep.

In the backyard of the military prison, a guillotine stood in the middle of the empty yard, like a silent giant, waiting for its mission to be carried out. The air around it seemed to be frozen, with only the occasional bird calls from afar breaking the dead silence.

This torture device imported from France is cold and ruthless. Known as the "national razor", the guillotine is like a beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for its next prey. Its blade flashes with cold light, reminding people of the cruelty and blood it contains.

The moment of execution finally arrived, and more than 30 war criminals sentenced to death were escorted out. They were the first batch of war criminals to complete the trial, and there were many more behind them. As they walked towards the guillotine, they all had pale faces, and their eyes were full of fear and despair. Many of them even suffered from urinary incontinence and wet their pants.

Once upon a time, they still dreamed of returning home and being with their families, but now the guillotine that was getting closer and closer was reminding them that their beautiful dreams were shattered.

Now, what awaits them is death!
"I, I am innocent. I, I have already redeemed myself..."

When a war criminal was dragged to the guillotine, he was still mumbling, and then he was pressed down on the guillotine, and then tied to the execution platform. The tied war criminal seemed to breathe in the smell of blood.

His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart. The sunlight shone on his face, reflecting his pale and desperate face. His eyes flashed with nostalgia for life, but were also filled with fear of death.

At this time, the executioner wearing a black hood slowly approached, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to step on the prisoner's heart. When he reached out to control the wrench, he looked up at the triangular blade of the guillotine, which flashed coldly in the sun. It was a symbol of death and the key to justice.

Yes, it has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just for justice!

When the warden announced the start and the executioner raised his hand, everyone in the yard held their breath, as if time had stopped at that moment. The moment he pulled the wrench, the blade fell.

A dull "click" sound echoed in the air, accompanied by the prisoner's final scream, a head rolled to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.

On the guillotine, the prisoner's body still maintained the posture before being beheaded, as if he was still silently enduring endless pain. And the head lay quietly in the basket, with eyes wide open, as if he was still unwilling to give up until this moment!
The yard was shrouded in deathly silence, with only the heavy breathing of the executioner and the symphony of birdsong in the distance.

But the execution has only just begun!
There is no mercy, no forgiveness, only cold death awaits every criminal sentenced to death.

They must be held accountable for the crimes they committed!
Justice must be done!

In this way, one war criminal after another was sent to the guillotine. When everything was over, the sunlight still shone on the earth and the guillotine still stood, but there were more flies on the blade, buzzing there and sucking the blood. The ground was all black and red - the dried blood had changed color.

And justice is still being done, regardless of anything else, just for justice!
Unlike previous public trials, the execution by guillotine was not public. This was only to avoid causing any unnecessary emotions. After all, the original intention... was to send all war criminals to the guillotine. If those vulnerable people saw the execution by guillotine and felt resistance, or even felt that such punishment was "killing", it would be detrimental to the "show". Therefore, this "show" was not public.

Yes, this is a "show" that is intended to expose the crimes committed by the Japanese to the world. It is a "show" deliberately staged to let the world see the ugliest faces of the Japanese, and of course to let the Japanese themselves see everything clearly.

Look clearly at the crimes they committed. As for the effects, in fact, the effects have already been shown before the trial even began.

"Victims of war!"

In the study, Li Yian said.

"If we cannot use this method to let the whole world see the crimes committed by the Japanese during the war, then in the future they will dress themselves up as victims of the war. They will say that they are also victims of the atomic bomb, that they have all kinds of grievances and pains, and that the reason for this is because they... were hit by the atomic bomb. But they will never say why they were hit by the atomic bomb, nor will they talk about the crimes they committed during the war. Instead, they will just dress themselves up as victims!"

Because in another world, he had seen the ugliest side of the Japanese, so when Li Yian mentioned these things, there was an anger in his tone that was hard to conceal, because he had witnessed the shamelessness of the Japanese.

As invaders, the Japanese have never thought about how to repent. Instead, they shamelessly dressed themselves up as victims of war and told the whole world about the pain they suffered from the war.

Just like the annual Hiroshima Peace Memorial, they describe the pain they suffered and the damage caused by the atomic bomb, but they never talk about the damage their invasion caused to other countries and the pain it caused to people in other countries. They just emphasize that they are victims of war.

But who among the real victims of war cares about the harm they suffered in the war?
No one will care about them!
Because the Japanese acted themselves as victims in front of the whole world, but the real victims remained silent, at least from a few years ago until the next few decades, the real victims remained silent.

That is why Li Yian wanted to expose all this. It was to prevent the Japanese from pretending to be white lotuses and war victims when the victims were silent, as they did in another world. "So, we need to expose the crimes of the Japanese to the world, use this trial to expose them, let their crimes appear before the eyes of the world, and let people have a full understanding of the Japanese!"

Listening to your story, Li Guoren, who has been coordinating with various countries in recent times, said.

"Sir, for now, all countries have expressed their understanding of our actions. From a diplomatic perspective, we are undoubtedly the winner this time. In addition, in the eyes of many countries, Japan has completely become synonymous with beasts. After all, the crimes they have committed are difficult even for beasts to do."

He then added:
"Moreover, an unexpected gain was that the Soviet Union took the initiative to offer to hand over the war criminals they had in their custody to us."

In this public trial, some countries, including the Soviet Union, stole the limelight - they actually pardoned a group of beasts.

This move was naturally questioned worldwide. In response to the doubts of the world, the Soviet Union chose to hand over the war criminals to Southeast Asia.

I have to say, this was a completely unexpected gain, but it is definitely a good thing.

"This is the reward for exposing the crimes committed by the Japanese during the war to the world!"

Li Yian said with a slight nod.

"Yes, the vast majority of people are kind. As long as we expose their crimes, people will know what is right and wrong, and know why justice must be achieved..."

At this point, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He thought for a while and said:

"But at the same time, we have to show that we are tolerant."

"On the broad side?"

Li Guoren looked at you with some doubt.

A trace of doubt arose in his heart. Was it to pardon some war criminals?

Sensing his doubts, Li Yian said.

"Guo Ren, you should know that humility and tolerance are the greatest virtues of this nation. Of course, this virtue is also reflected in me. We will always forgive many things."

When saying this, Li Yian looked serious, and he really thought that he was a very tolerant and generous person.

"Of course, our tolerance and generosity are not without limits. We are not pardoning those war criminals. Those war criminals deserve death."

On this point, Li Yian's attitude is very clear.

"I'm talking about the prisoners of war we hold. Most of them are ordinary prisoners who have not committed any crimes. In the past ten years, they have been atonement in Southeast Asia. They have basically completed their transformation. Now it's almost time to let them go back. After all, we are clear about gratitude and resentment, and it is natural not to let any war criminals go. But ordinary prisoners of war are also tolerant and generous... It's time to send them home and let them change Japan. These people who have truly completed their transformation will influence and change Japan..."

When he said this, Li Yian was moved by his own magnanimity. In fact, in terms of personality, Li Yian himself is a very humble and tolerant person. For example, when he was with those German war criminals, he could be very magnanimous and talk and laugh with them, and completely forgave them for the crimes they committed during the war.

Unlike Churchill and Eisenhower, when they mentioned the Germans, their words were filled with disgust and even hatred that were difficult to conceal.

In comparison, Li Yian is absolutely tolerant. If you ask the Germans in Southeast Asia, they will definitely agree with this point of view. After all, Southeast Asia protected them and forgave them!

Those Germans will be very grateful, and in the future, those Japanese will also be grateful. When Japan is greatly changed, they will definitely be grateful... Nanyang’s kindness is not over yet!
