When Shunroku Hata opened his eyes again, he found that he was in the hospital. He was receiving treatment, and his hands and feet were tied.

Little bits of the setting sun came in through the bright window, but Shunroku Hata's heart was so heavy. He knew that he was captured and Onodera betrayed him.

"Bata~" There was a soft sound, and the door of the ward was opened. A man in his forties wearing a uniform of the National Defense Forces walked in, glanced at Shunroku Hata, who had already woken up, and hummed.

"Wake up?! Just wake up." Behind this man were several soldiers who looked like guards and adjutants.

"I am Qi Muden, the commander-in-chief of the East China Military Region of the United Government National Defense Force." Qi Muden pointed at Shunroku Hata and said, "This time, you will be defeated by me."

The translator behind him faithfully translated Saiki Noboru's words, and Shunroku Hata struggled to sit up. But his physical strength and injury did not allow him to do so.

After a wink from Saimudō, several soldiers went to untie Shunroku Hata's rope and help him up.

"General, since I have fallen into your hands, what I want to know is what do you plan to do with me?!" Hata Shunroku was relatively calm.

He had imagined his ending countless times, but he never thought that he would be a prisoner waiting for the enemy's sentencing. When this had become an established fact, Hata Shunroku's super psychological quality allowed him to remain calm.

"I don't plan to do anything, I'm just going to kill you." Qi Muden sneered. Hata Shunroku's face turned pale after hearing this. After a while, he said: "General, you and I are both soldiers. Can you agree to my request?

?!"

Qi Muden didn't nod or shake his head. He crossed his arms and said, "You can talk about it."

"As a soldier, I am not afraid of death. From the day I joined the army, I may die in any battle." Shunroku Hata looked at Saiki Noboru and said: "But I want to die with dignity. At least, let

I died like a soldier."

"Hahaha..." Qi Muden suddenly laughed wildly, and he laughed very happily. It seemed that he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Shunroku Hata was a little confused, and he didn't know why the commander-in-chief would laugh at his suggestion.

"Are you a soldier?!" Suddenly, Qi Muden's smile faded. His face was cold and solemn. Shunroku Hata nodded. Qi Muden smiled again, revealing his strong white teeth.

"Soldiers specialize in killing, raping, robbing, using gas bombs and even bacterial bombs?!" Shunroku Hata's face turned pale, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He knew very well what the Japanese troops had done in China. Inhumane massacres in Zhejiang, and even entire villages turning into ruins overnight, happened frequently.

Especially after the defeat in the Battle of Jinan, the Japanese soldiers who returned from the front line went crazy. Feeling that their time was running out, they chose to massacre civilians countless times.

"In early May 1938, the Japanese invaders raped more than 30 women in Beixiang, Longyou County, and 19 of them were killed; 362 people in Lingshan Village, regardless of age or sex, were massacred."

"Afterwards, the Japanese invaders burned down all the houses in the village, including 198 Jiujiang Tower halls and Jiji barns. They stole more than 200 pigs, 3,340 poultry, and 66,800 kilograms of grain. They blew up the west bridge deck of Tongshu Bridge at the east gate of the county seat, and destroyed three

Culverts, the 'Tianxiang Tower' at the head of the bridge, the railway bridge at Lingjiang River in the south of the city and 110 shophouses and private houses..."

“In mid-May 1938, the Japanese invaders in 11 counties including Anren, Baijiang, Qiantan, etc., massacred 24,596 of our people for no reason with knives, spears, and machine guns and other weapons, injured and maimed 105,746 people, and burned down 38,472 houses. , stole 1.65 million dan of grain and 28,821 cattle..."

Qi Muden asked his adjutant to take out a notebook, and gritted his teeth and read word for word to Shunroku Hata. Every time Qi Muden read a sentence, Hata Shunroku broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew the virtues of his subordinates, but he had never tried to count how many Chinese people they had killed!

"...Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province fell. The Japanese army massacred more than 50,000 local people. Women, old people and children were all killed. The Japanese army cut off the heads of the people and hung them on the city gates to show off..."

Suddenly, Saimu Teng threw the book directly into Hata Shunroku's face and said word by word: "You are soldiers too?! You are worthy of being called soldiers?!"

Shunroku Hata's face was pale and he was sweating profusely, his lips were trembling and he couldn't say a word.

"According to the Geneva Convention, we can request..." Shunroku Hata swallowed hard. The Geneva Convention was his last life-saving straw.

He doesn't have too many extravagant hopes now. He just wants to save more lives of his soldiers.

"The Geneva Convention also stipulates the use of poison gas bombs and bacterial bombs, and stipulates that civilians must not be massacred..." Saimu Nobu looked at Shunroku Hata with a sneer and said these words in one breath.

Shunroku Hata's face turned gloomy, and after a while he said: "I suggest you ask your superiors for instructions. After all, you have formed an alliance with the United States. So you still have to abide by these regulations..."

Saimu Den touched his chin with a little interest and looked at Hata Shunroku without saying anything. He was now beginning to be somewhat interested in the continent's first graduated general.

After looking at Shunroku Hata with his cat-and-mouse eyes for a while, Saiki Noto grinned and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Our commander-in-chief has a saying: An agreement we haven't signed is bullshit!" "

"Even if it's an agreement we signed, if it has any benefits, then we have to treat this document as nothing!" Saimu laughed loudly, and after a while he said to Shunroku Hata: "Don't worry, I will let you live a little longer. time."

"Now our 'Shanghai Battle' monument is under construction, and the Shanghai Martyrs Cemetery is also under construction." Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata and said: "When they are all built, you will be a blood sacrifice belonging to the cemetery!"

"If I don't hold your heads against those brothers who died in the festival, I will never have the dignity to meet them when I die!" Qimudeng roared without warning: "Those who died under the butcher's knives of you bunch of bastards Yes, those who died from gas bombs and bacterial bombs! Without your heads to pay homage to, how can they close their eyes?!"

Qi Mudeng's face was ferocious, and from a distance he looked like a wolf that chose people to devour.

"When I close my eyes now, I can still hear the cries of those innocent souls in hell! I didn't take the heads of you bastards to pay homage to them. How can they rest in peace?!"

"I will chop you up with my own hands on a day that attracts everyone's attention!" Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata and said word by word: "Enjoy it! You don't have many days left."

Saiki's ferocious face and those bloody words made Shunroku Hata's heart tremble. Now he began to regret why he came to China.

He regretted why he chose to indulge those Japanese soldiers in the first place. He even regretted why he chose to support the invasion of China. If he wanted to die in such a shame, he might as well die now...

"Don't think about dying. If you die, I will kill five thousand prisoners and use their heads to replace you on the altar!" Saimu Nobu seemed to see what Shunroku Hata was thinking. He was cold.

He smiled and said: "Live, live well. Wait until the day I chop you. If you can't wait, I will chop off the heads of five thousand Japanese prisoners in one go to replace your head!"

Shunroku Hata collapsed on the hospital bed. With trembling lips, he growled at Qi Muden: "Evil ghost! Evil ghost!! You evil ghost..."

The translator hesitated whether to translate this sentence, but looking at his commander's face, the translator still chose to tell Qi Muden these words exactly.

"I was originally a human, but you turned me into a ghost..." Qimudeng grinned: "When you bastards came to China and committed those massacres, I became your evil ghost."

"The purpose of my life is to chew up and swallow all the trash like you..." Qi Muden looked at Shunroku Hata, and said every word with great sincerity: "I will let you go to hell. Because of you

These bastards have turned my country into hell!"

After saying this, Qi Mudeng left the ward without looking back. He had many important things to do, including organizing troops to prepare to attack the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

At this time, the top leaders of the coalition government were arguing about one thing. This was about the execution of Shunroku Hata.

"It's not that I don't agree with the execution of Shunroku Hata. In fact, I very much agree with his execution. But using such cruel methods has never happened before in the world. To execute an enemy general by skewering. This matter has obviously exceeded

Bottom line..."

The speaker was Luo Wenqian, the former Minister of Justice and Administration of the Nanjing Government, now a professor at Huaqing University, and a signer of the "Tanggu Armistice Agreement."

"What?! Are what the Japanese did inhumane?!" Mei Ru'ao, the chief officer of the Judicial Yuan of the United Government, sneered: "If they can do it in the first grade, we can do it in the fifteenth grade!"

"Just like General Qi said. If we don't let these Japanese invaders pay the price of blood, how can the innocent souls of those compatriots who died tragically rest in peace?!" Mei Ru'ao's face was ashen, and she gritted her teeth and said: "If I hadn't been able to do this, I would have wanted to do it myself.

This punishment has been carried out!"

"You..." Luo Wenqian wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Shizhao.

"Okay! Jun Ren, you don't need to say more. This Shunroku Hata is dead! And he must be beheaded!" As soon as Zhang Shizhao's words came out, Luo Wenqian knew that the matter had been finalized. He could only sigh helplessly.

tone.

Zhang Shizhao's prestige in the academic world and in China is unquestionable. If even he agrees with this matter, then Luo Wenqian's objection will be ineffective.

And the Japanese have indeed gone too far. It is estimated that not many people will think that dealing with Junroku Hata in this way is excessive. It may even be very satisfying.

To be fair, Luo Wenqian is not a bad person. But his political IQ is really not very good. He often does politics based on a chivalrous mentality and romanticism.

This can be seen from the fact that he entered into the "Austria Loan Extension Contract" in 1922, which led to several arrests. At that time, this contract led to the accusation of bribery by Wu Jinglian, the speaker of the House of Representatives. Although no real evidence was found, he was arrested several times.

However, Luo Wenqian was quite popular. The then president of Peking University, Cai Yuanpei, resigned out of anger because Luo Wenqian was arrested several times and was still detained even though there was no evidence.

If he had enough political wisdom, he would not fall for this matter.

"I agree with He Qing." Lin Sen, the chairman of the coalition government who had been silent, spoke at this time, but he glanced at everyone and said: "There is nothing to argue about. Since the Japanese have become beasts, we should do the same.

A handful! A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!"

"Chairman, don't beasts have no humanity and we have no humanity?!" Romanticist Luo Wenqian couldn't help but said: "We are human beings, not beasts! I agree with the execution of Shunroku Hata, but the use of beheading will have a negative impact on us."

The reputational damage is too great! Others will think that we are a cruel country..."

Tu Menghu, who had kept his eyes closed and said nothing, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard these words. Although Tu Menghu didn't say a word, the temperature of the entire conference room seemed to drop suddenly the moment he opened his eyes.

A few points.

All arguments and discussions stopped. Everyone looked at the place where the tiger was sitting.

"So what if it's cruel?!" Perhaps Tu Menghu's voice was hoarse because he hadn't spoken for too long. But his hoarse voice made no one in the conference room dare to interrupt.

"What I want is that they are afraid!" Tu Menghu glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "Friends are here, and they have good wine. Jackals are here, and they have shotguns!"

"I said. Anyone or any country can try to take advantage of us, come to ping us or even invade us." Tu Menghu's words always smell like blood and rust. Those words have always been

It's so sonorous and powerful.

"They can start the war as they wish, but don't imagine that the war will continue as they wish!" Tu Menghu's voice was not loud, but everyone present seemed to hear the roar of the tiger in his chest.

"I want all those who try to humiliate and harm our country, nation and people to know that I will repay them double for everything they have done here!" Tu Menghu suddenly stood up and looked at everyone and said word by word.

"I want to use the blood of the Japanese to tell those bastards with different intentions. If they want to take advantage of us, be prepared to die ugly!"

At the same time, a group of people in the White House were also discussing this matter. Among the attendees were even Tuhu who was staying in Washington.

"Why didn't Mrs. Song come?! It's such a pity not to see this outstanding lady." Little John joked with Tu Huhu with a smile.

But Tu Laohu laughed and said: "What we are talking about this time is bloody. Mrs. Song is such a clean eldest sister, I don't want her to come into contact with this blood. And I am a killer, so these things don't matter."

Tu Menghu did not beat around the bush and made his words clear in one breath. Seeing Tu Menghu say these words, Roosevelt, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help but sigh.

"Tiger, what you did this time seems to have gone too far." Roosevelt considered his words and said to the gunner: "Even if you hang Shunroku Hata, it will cause a huge sensation. A general was captured after

Facing death afterwards was unimaginable before the war ended..."

Roosevelt carefully spoke to the Three Artillerymen about the habits of white people, or the Western world. They rarely directly execute enemy generals before they achieve a complete victory in the war.

On the one hand, they are afraid that this will cause hatred and make the war endless. On the other hand, it is also a habit passed down from the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, nobles captured in war could be redeemed. As long as a certain price was paid.
