Wang Husheng frowned and said, "You mean, the organization also wants us to pretend to be confused?"
"Otherwise?" Xu Rui said angrily, "Is it possible that the head of the military department hopes that we really hand over this batch of gold to the National Government? No way?"
"That's not possible." Wang Husheng shook his head categorically and said, "The Nationalist Government has never paid any military salary to our New Fourth Army. Now our New Fourth Army is in a difficult situation. In order to raise funds, the head of the military department has turned his hair gray in a hurry. If there is such a sum of gold,
, how could they be willing to hand it over to the National Government?"
"Hey, Lao Wang, what you said is on point." Xu Rui slapped the table and said, "Let's pretend to be stupid and pretend that this batch of gold does not exist. The head of the military department will ask a few questions and the matter will be over.
Because they also understand, and they pretend not to know, by leaving this gold with us, the military headquarters and other friendly forces in other detachments can still make some money, but if they know, they will not hand over this gold to the National Government.
It’s unjustifiable. If we don’t hand it over, it will undermine the anti-Japanese united front, and the political impact will be huge, right? But if we hand it over, they won’t even have the soup to drink!”
Wang Husheng said: "If we pretend to be stupid, aren't we destroying the anti-Japanese united front?"
Xu Rui said herrily: "We pretend to be stupid. Of course we are destroying the anti-Japanese united front, but our low level has little impact. If, I say if, if this matter is really exposed in the end, it really can't be covered up.
At the worst possible outcome, if you give me a punishment and become the kitchen squad leader, you won't really have me shot, right?"
"That's impossible." Wang Husheng shook his head like a rattle, "The military chief is reluctant to shoot you."
"So, we have to take the blame." Xu Rui said, "If we take the blame, the impact will be relatively small, and there is room for change in the handling. But if the head of the military department is involved, then this will
There will be no room for change, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will have to break up! Then this problem will be serious."
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, what you said doesn't sound right to me?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Withholding this gold, of course, the majority of the benefits will go to the higher-level organizations and the military. We will be the ones taking the blame!"
Wang Husheng said angrily: "The organization mentioned seems so inhumane."
"That's nothing." Xu Rui said in amusement, "I made such a big fuss this time. Not only did I take away a million taels of gold, but I also made a fuss about a pharmaceutical factory and a complete set of machinery and equipment for a coal chemical plant. How could this happen?
Is it considered a meritorious service? But I haven’t seen the superior organization cancel my punishment or reinstate my position.”
Wang Husheng said: "After saying so much, this sentence is your psychological statement."
After finishing speaking, Wang Husheng slowly took out a telegram from his pocket, slapped it on the table and said: "Here, this is the commendation order just issued by the military department to commend you for your contribution in this operation. At the same time, in view of the
You have performed well recently, and the organization has decided to reinstate you to your position. Are you satisfied now, Commander Xu?"
Xu Rui received the telegram and said with a pleased smile: "Satisfied, I am very satisfied."
"Look at your arrogance." Wang Husheng said angrily, "You are like an official fan."
Xu Rui grabbed the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, come, let's go one by one."
Wang Husheng clinked glasses with Xu Rui, drank them all in one gulp, and said, "I know something. I'll let you know. The No. 2 head of the military department will come to our base tomorrow, firstly to commend those who have done this operation."
The commanders and fighters who have neutralized their merit are, secondly, to fight against the university branch, but now I am afraid that gold will have to be added as well, so you have to be mentally prepared first."
"Okay, no problem." Xu Rui slapped his thigh and said cheerfully, "Just do as I say."
(Dividing line)
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Cherev and Stilwell came to say goodbye to Xu Rui.
This trip to Damei Mountain was a worthwhile trip for Cherev and Stilwell. They finally met Xu Rui and witnessed an almost miraculous action. However, the public trial and sentencing meeting to be held this morning
, Cherev and Stilwell decided not to participate anymore to avoid causing diplomatic disputes.
Xu Rui sent Stilwell and Cherev to Xiashaqiao.
Xu Rui wanted to send it again, but Stilwell stopped him: "Mist Xu, just send it here."
Cherev also said: "Yes, Misty Xu, you still have a lot of official business to be busy with, so please come back."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "We have an old saying in China, which is to say goodbye to each other after traveling thousands of miles. Since it is inevitable that there will be a farewell, I will not send you two off anymore. I wish you both a happy journey. If we meet again in the future,
If you have the opportunity, you are also welcome to come to Damei Mountain as guests, and I will definitely entertain you with the best wine and food."
Stilwell smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Cherev also said: "I hope we can meet again."
Xu Rui said: "Believe me, we will definitely meet again."
Stilwell and Cherev smiled at each other, turned around and got into the truck, and then the truck slowly drove away. At this time, Stilwell and Cherev naturally did not expect that Xu Rui's scene words when they were leaving would be reflected in their eyes.
It became true years later, especially Cherev, who never thought that when they met again, it would be in such an occasion.
After seeing off Stilwell and Cherev, Xu Rui returned to the town and saw that the venue for the public trial had been arranged.
At present, the various functional agencies in the Dameishan base area are very complete, and each department performs its duties in an orderly manner. In terms of administrative divisions, the Dameishan border area has been established, and the border area governs four counties, including Meixian, Puxian, Shanxian, and Guanxian.
Modeled on the structure of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, the border region has a commissioner's office and the county has a county office.
This war criminals public trial was hosted by the Public Security Bureau under the Dameishan Commissioner's Office.
The director of the Public Security Bureau under the Commissioner's Office is a college student from Wuhan. Xu Rui doesn't know him. The development of the Dameishan base area is changing rapidly at present. He can't even recognize all the junior officers in the army. The officials at the Border District Government Office are just...
He didn't even know him. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about these things. Wang Husheng was there anyway.
Wang Husheng came over and said to Xu Rui: "This police chief, despite his youth, is a law student."
The police chief made it look like that. He actually arranged the defendant's box, the plaintiff's box, the auditorium, the witness box, the jurors and the presiding judge. Fortunately, the weather was also rainy. Otherwise, Xiao
It's not a joke for the Japanese reconnaissance planes or bombers to come over and drop a few bombs.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the young police chief shouted: "Bring in the war criminals!"
When a group of militiamen from the county brigade escorted more than a dozen war criminals, Xu Rui looked over and saw that walking at the front of the queue was Kenji Doihara, followed by Yoshiko Kawashima, followed by
It was Inaba Shiro, Shigefu Chiaki, Setani Kei, Okada Shiro and a dozen assistant officials.
Most of these dozen assistant officers are from the 10th Division.
A dozen war criminals lined up on the roadside to be baptized with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs from the people in the border area.
The first person to be put in the dock was Kenji Doihara. The young police chief was really powerful. In one night, he listed more than twenty crimes against Kenji Doihara, including murder, women's crimes, and frame-up.
Wait, but the last charge is the most serious, and Doihara was found guilty.
After reading out more than a dozen charges, the young police chief who also served as the presiding judge said: "Kenji Doihara, now this court allows you to prosecute and defend yourself. Can you plead against the prosecutor's accusation against you?"
Kenji Doihara said coldly: "I just want to say that this court is illegal."
"The plea is invalid." The police chief picked up a wooden hammer and knocked on the table, and then continued, "The prosecutor's accusations of various crimes committed by the criminal Kenji Doihara have clear facts and clear logic. After the deliberations of this court,
, the verdict is as follows, the criminal Doihara Kenji is guilty of sixteen counts of murder, women, etc., and shall be punished for several crimes concurrently, and shall be executed by firing squad, and shall be executed immediately!”
Kenji Doihara was stunned for a moment. He never expected that a lieutenant general like him would be found guilty by such a grass court and executed by firing squad!
Before Kenji Doihara could react, two militiamen immediately pounced on him and took Kenji Doihara to the execution ground next to the trial court. Yes, that's right, the execution ground was right next to the large playground that served as the trial court.
Above, after being led to the execution ground, Kenji Doihara was immediately blindfolded and forced to kneel on the ground.
Kenji Doihara struggled violently: "I don't accept it. I want to sue. I want to file a complaint with the National Government. Your court is illegal and invalid. The local government has no right to interrogate war criminals at all. You cannot act so hastily.
You can't just execute me like this, you can't..."
Kenji Doihara struggled and roared hysterically, but it was of no use.
A militia captain stood behind Kenji Doihara with a loaded shell gun, and pressed the black muzzle of the gun against the back of Kenji Doihara's head, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation, accompanied by a "bang" sound.
With a sound, blood bloomed on Doihara Kenji's face immediately. The militiamen who grabbed Doihara's arms let go again. Doihara Kenji immediately threw himself forward and fell to the ground, with blood flowing from the wound.
The ground soon became red.
Doihara Kenji was shot in public, and the surrounding border people who were watching immediately cheered like a tsunami.
But the young police chief picked up a wooden hammer and knocked on the table hard, and said: "Take the criminal Kawashima Yoshiko!"
"Let's go!" Two militiamen immediately grabbed Yoshiko Kawashima's arms and forced her to stand in the dock.
The police chief picked up the book in front of him and read: "Kawashima Yoshiko, on June 4, the eleventh year of the Republic of China, you were accused of participating in the Huanggutun incident and planning the murder of Zhang Zuolin; September 10, the twentieth year of the Republic of China.
On the 8th, you were accused of participating in and planning the Wicker Lake Incident, also known as the September 18th Incident... Can you prosecute and defend yourself against the above eight charges? "
