Age of Rebirth

Among the several corps commanders of the Independent Division, Ma Chaoyang, like Jiang Yanming, the current commander of the Songhu Garrison in China, belongs to the junior generation. Moreover, the corps under his command is a second-line force, so the weight of his words is naturally not as good as that of the main field troops. The commander of the corps, several of the corps commanders present have all become his direct or indirect superiors at different times.

In normal times, most of Ma Chaoyang would not take the initiative to speak out. However, this riot that swept across the entire Indochina Peninsula occurred after he became the commander of the garrison. Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, and Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department There was a lot of pressure, and Ma Chaoyang's pressure was no less than that of the two of them.

As the commander who is directly responsible for the military security of the Indochina Peninsula, Ma Chaoyang has a more intuitive feeling for this big riot. Although in Vientiane, where the police headquarters is located, and the surrounding areas, the riots were suppressed by their own force as soon as they started. , making this area the place of least loss.

The division commander didn't punish himself, but that doesn't mean that Ma Chaoyang didn't feel guilty. He thought it was his negligence, and most of the city garrison commanders who were punished were from his own regiment. What does this mean?

Ma Chaoyang is very clear in his heart. Therefore, when carrying out the operation to arrest the rioters, the troops under the garrison area use stricter methods, and kill the most rioters who try to escape or resist arrest, and Ma Chaoyang himself wants to borrow Taking this opportunity to wipe out the rioters and completely eradicate all factors of instability in the Indochina Peninsula, he advocated strict punishment. [

Ma Chaoyang felt very uncomfortable listening to what Li Honggang and Tang Qiusheng said, and he didn't agree with their opinions. Being merciful is a crime against his fellow countrymen. Commander, during my tenure, such appalling riots occurred. I accept my responsibility, but this is not the basis for my following opinion."

"My opinion is that it must be strictly dealt with. Those who should be sentenced to prison will be shot. These people have a deep-rooted anti-China tendency in their bones, and they will not change in the slightest because of our humanity, leniency, and innocence. Today we are leniency These rioters are tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Tomorrow, they will be the root cause of the next riot. We must use the most severe means to completely and completely remove these potential hidden dangers. My opinion is over!"

Ma Chaoyang's words represented a point of view, and seemed to be Bi Shen Jun and Yu Deshui's suggestion.The farther they go, the more cruel the methods. In this way, the number of thugs shot will not only be more than 4, but even more.

This led to a new round of heated debate. From this point of view, more and more people opposed the opinions of Ma Chaoyang, Shen Jun, and Yu Deshui, and the officers only cared about arguing.But he didn't notice that the teacher Tang Qiuli's face became more and more ugly, from the sinking face at the beginning, to the frowning and livid face now.

There was a loud "snap" sound on the table.It was like a loudspeaker that was suddenly cut off. Everyone was notified to argue. Looking in the direction of the sound, they found that the teacher, Tang Qiuli, had stood up and looked at everyone with fiery eyes.

Tang Qiuli's voice was a little hoarse because of the intense suppression of emotions, "Enough! I don't need such a meaningful argument. Facing a lot of evidence, hard facts, and a pile of things that have happened to our compatriots What happened to us, we still have to argue about how to deal with these thugs, which is unnecessary, waste of time and ridiculous."

"Everyone should remember that at the military meeting before the arrest operation, I once swore that whoever kills one of my compatriots, I will kill his whole family; Anyone who robs my compatriots of a penny, I will let his whole family go bankrupt."

"The words I said are still in your ears. You have never forgotten, right? Then why is there a dispute about how to deal with it?" Tang Qiuli glanced at Li Honggang and Tang Qiusheng, and their expressions changed slightly. Naturally, everyone has also heard that what the teacher said has something to say, and he is already furious at the opinion that advocates leniency!

Tang Qiuli's voice suddenly turned cold, "Everyone, don't mention ridiculous words such as repaying grievances with kindness or forgiveness. I have also said that even if there is a lot of infamy behind me, even if my hands are covered with blood. Regret is more shameful, blood debt is paid with blood, it has been a matter of course since ancient times, I want to use the heads of these beasts to pay homage to our compatriots who died, and use their dirty blood to sprinkle the land of Indochina Peninsula, so that other people with ulterior motives or ulterior motives , Thinking of it makes me shudder!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the generals with a murderous look in his fierce eyes, and then said: "I have only one decision, kill! I am not afraid of killing too much, but of killing less. I am gentle and lenient, and I can't change it." The fact of more than a hundred years, why should our compatriots suffer such a disaster, the British and the Japanese have ruled this land, why didn't such a thing happen?"

"It's because we Chinese are too kind. The kind of pathological hatred of China from the heart and bones must be washed away with blood. I, Tang Qiuli, am not a bloodthirsty person. God has the virtue of loving life, but these things are not included. The thugs who have done a lot of evil, repaying grievances with kindness, are not for these bloody thugs."

"There are two big bags of interrogation records, shocking! The records are all the lives of our compatriots. How can I forgive these thugs and repay grievances with kindness during this riot? Can anyone tell me how to forgive?"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli seemed to be very tired. He sat back heavily on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of water. His mood seemed to calm down a lot. His words, like thunder, resounded in the ears of all the generals , They were just arguing endlessly about how to punish, but they didn't expect that the teacher had such thoughts in his heart.

For a while, the hearts of the generals were mixed and complicated, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was low and a little depressing. After a while, Tang Qiuli continued with a little bitterness: "Everyone here is an independent teacher. The core decision-makers are Tang Qiuli's life-and-death brothers, and what I said just now was neither aimed at Hong Gang and Brother Qiusheng, nor was it a momentary loss of reason, but to let everyone torture their inner thoughts."

"It is true that Hong Gang and Brother Qiusheng's opinions are safe and reliable old-fashioned words. If it is changed to other things, I, Tang Qiuli, will definitely accept it seriously. However, it can't be done on this matter, even everyone If you are against it, I will go my own way.”

Li Honggang's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Master, Hong Gang is very ashamed. He is also full of hatred for my compatriots who have suffered such a disaster. However, I don't intend to take back what I said just now. However, I, Li Honggang, have given the order of the master. And all officers and soldiers of the No.20 Ninth Corps will definitely implement the conditions, this is related to the opinion just now, and it is the bounden duty of the soldiers."

After Li Honggang finished speaking, he sat down without saying a word. Tang Qiusheng looked at his cousin with an ugly face, hesitated to speak, and sighed inwardly, "Xiaoqiu's murder is too serious. What I said just now must have made him sad." Disappointment and disappointment, however, are the true thoughts in my heart, if I don’t say it, I will not only fail to fulfill my duty, but also lose my conscience, I can only find an opportunity to talk about this misunderstanding!”

Tang Qiuli's complexion was very ugly, he stood up again, his voice became unquestionable, "My following words are orders, orders that cannot be changed, no one should raise objections, if that person thinks that you If you can’t carry out my bloody revenge order, please temporarily surrender your military power and replace it with someone who is willing to accompany me, Tang Qiuli, with blood on his hands, do you want to quit?” he asked sharply.

The faces of all the generals were cast iron, sitting upright, not looking sideways, and motionless, Tang Qiuli continued: "Okay, those who have not quit, Chief of Staff Zhao and Chief of Staff Liu, record the following orders, from now on, The establishment of a special military tribunal to try the mobs arrested by the riots in the Indochina Peninsula was announced in the name of the Indochina Peninsula Military and Political Management Committee of the Independent Division. I personally serve as the presiding judge of this court, and the other members are all senior military officers present.”[

"The court is starting to work now, and I will pronounce the verdict immediately. The result of the verdict does not allow any dissent. First, there are 870 riot organizers in the Indochina Peninsula, and 320 key elements of the riot. They crazily killed our compatriots. Eighty-seven thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven people who were stained with the blood of Chinese and overseas Chinese were sentenced to death, shot immediately, and all their property was confiscated."

"Second, the remaining rioters, don't they want to kill all the Chinese? Don't they want to drive the Chinese out of the Indochina Peninsula? Well, I will send them to China. Their families, together with the sentenced The families of the thugs sentenced to death will be collectively escorted to the labor reform farm of our independent division in the base area of ​​Taihang Mountain in North China, and will never be pardoned, so they will be buried on Chinese territory.”

"The above judgment is final, and there is no appeal without a lawyer. All the judgment results will be announced in the name of the special military court to all regions in the Indochina Peninsula. The announcement time will be seven days. Twelve cities including Le, Yangon, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, and Hanoi were executed by shooting."

Everyone was stunned, even Ma Chaoyang, who advocated severe punishment of thugs, and Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, who insisted on strict punishment, all stared at Tang Qiuli with dumbfounded eyes. More than 13 people were shot, and the remaining [-] people, as well as all the family members of the thugs, were escorted to the country. If calculated in this way, it would be a terrifying number of nearly one million people, which is crazy!
