1825 My New Daming

Colonel Humphrey is confused, is there any content in the Vienna Convention that mercenaries cannot enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war?It seems that there is, it seems that there is no. Hell, he hasn't read any "Vienna Prisoners of War Convention" at all!

Moreover, how can not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war and the death penalty be equated?What did he do to die?
"I, what did I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me?"

Facing the threat of the death penalty, Colonel Humphrey also panicked, his elegant, calm gentleman demeanor had disappeared without a trace.

Of course Zhuge Weidao would not answer Humphrey's question, but said to him in a dignified tone: "Colonel Humphrey, please answer truthfully, are you British or Indian?"

Hearing this kind of question, Humphrey became very angry. Wouldn't you, a military inspector, know whether it was British or Indian?Who are you, blond hair and brown eyes?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth with curry-flavored English: "Sir, I am an Indian. Although I have [-]% English blood, I have become an Indian citizen, so I am a true Indian."

"That's right." Zhuge Weidao looked at Humphrey, "How do you prove that you are Indian?"

"How to prove?" Humphrey didn't know what to say for a while.

He didn't lie, after Kaiser William "legally usurped the throne", he granted every white man who followed him citizenship of the Indian Empire.Of course, Humphrey is also a citizen of the United Kingdom, not a British Overseas National.And Humphrey doesn't remember any British national (overseas) passports. There are only two types of British nationals: native nationals and dependent soil nationals. There are no overseas nationals at all!
When Humphrey was in the circle, Guo Xiaobao, who was sitting next to Zhuge Weidao, spoke kindly: "Colonel Humphrey, I am Major Guo Xiaobao, the lawyer prepared for you by the Malaya War Crimes Tribunal. What's wrong with you?" If you understand, you can ask me.”

And the more lawyer Humphrey heard this, the more his heart became furious!

Although he still doesn't know what happened?But one thing is for sure, this is a big deal for him!
"Lawyer Guo," Humphrey asked, "can you tell me what happened?"

Guo Xiaobao didn't answer, but looked back at Zhuge Weidao.Zhuge Weidao took out a black and white photo from the briefcase and handed it to Guo Xiaobao.Guo Xiaobao took the photo, got up and walked to Humphrey, and handed the photo to him.Humphrey took the photo and looked at it. There were "lying corpses" all over the place!They are all dressed in Chinese clothes.

"This was taken near Kota Bharu!" Guo Xiaobao said solemnly, "A total of [-] people were killed. All of them were civilians, expatriates from Ming Dynasty, and the bullets that killed them were New Bass rifles. Bullets!

The Army Military Prosecutor's Office has started investigating this matter. And you are very suspicious!Because you are the supreme commander of the Kota Bharu garrison, even if you couldn't personally order this thing to be done, it must be done by your subordinates.

If you are not Indian, you lose your prisoner of war status and your protection under the Vienna Convention, then."

Humphrey now realizes the seriousness of the problem!

It must have been done by his broken soldiers!Who else could it be?The Japs who attacked Kota Bharu?They are the sons of Daming, how dare they kill the overseas Chinese of Daming?
"I'm Indian! I'm really Indian!" Humphrey really wanted to be an Indian now.

Because he is not an Indian, he is not protected by that "contract". Then the military procuratorate of Ming Dynasty can punish him whatever it wants?
"But you just said that you are a real British!" Zhuge Weidao said, "Because Ming and Britain are not yet at war, as a British national, you are not a legal belligerent, but a mercenary. Our military procuratorate can take Interrogate the captured mercenaries by all means!"

This is killing people!Humphrey already felt that this person who called himself "Ge Qingyun" was very dangerous.He looked at himself with hatred in his eyes. Could it be that some of his relatives were killed in Kota Bharu?
"I'm really an Indian!" The curry taste in Humphrey's English became stronger, "Although I am an Anglo-Saxon in England, I have Indian nationality!"

"How do you prove that you have Indian nationality?" Zhuge Weidao said solemnly, "Humphrey, it's not that I don't believe you, but our Ming Dynasty's justice is based on evidence. Let me ask you, do you love India?"

Love India?
Humphrey thought to himself: "You major Ming think that India is as worthy of love as your Ming? Who else loves her except Emperor William?"

Thinking of this, Humphrey shook his head and said, "No, I don't love India! Although I am an Indian, I don't love India at all."

"Oh?" Zhuge Weidao laughed, "Why?"

"Because in India, most people in my position don't love India and are ashamed of being Indian," Humphrey said.

"Why is that?" Guo Xiaobao couldn't understand.As a citizen of the new Ming Dynasty, in his eyes, there is no difference between India and the western powers—they are almost rotten!So he couldn't understand how an Indian elite trained by the British colonists viewed the civilization and progress of the British Empire.

"Because they think India is poor, poor and backward," Zhuge Weidao could understand the thinking of those "Gao Yin", "and the UK...is a little bit better than India!"

Guo Xiaobao looked disdainful, "It's not much better. The small country of Britain has always been a backwater. It just took advantage of the frequent wars in Europe to absorb the blood of Europe, and then conquered India and exploited it. It developed when India was liberated and got rid of Britain. China’s exploitation, the abolition of the caste system, the establishment of the land equalization system, the establishment of compulsory education, and the development of industries, will catch up with Britain in a few decades.”

Hearing Guo Xiaobao's words, Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but frowned again—in addition to being self-confident and silly, the Chinese in this timeline also have a special sense of saving the world. The combination of "equality", "equal land", and "emphasis on education" is exported to the world!In some respects, it is quite similar to the well-developed Tianxuan America!
"Humphrey," Zhuge Weidao looked at Humphrey, "You are from India, so you must know the situation in India very well. Tell me, is it possible for what Lawyer Guo said to be realized in India? To be honest... this It's about your fate!"

Of course, Zhuge Weidao did not come to find the mastermind of the Gothabaharu massacre, because there was no such massacre at all.His real purpose in coming to the Malacca prisoner-of-war camp is only one - to find Indian traitors!

And if you want to imprint a traitor, of course you have to find a British traitor who is willing to cooperate-the Indian traitors are all under the control of the British traitor.As long as one British traitor is dealt with, there will be hundreds of Indian traitors below, how easy is this?

However, the current Ming Dynasty is based on virtue, and it still rules the country and the army according to the law. It is impossible to hang up and beat all the British in the Malacca prisoner-of-war camp. Therefore, Zhuge can only "use tricks" to scare the British officers in the prisoner-of-war camp. up.

And Humphrey was the first to be frightened. If he didn't agree, Zhuge Weidao would have no choice but to replace him.Although Zhuge Weidao is a member of the core group of the number one family of the Ming Dynasty, he is a rear admiral, an admiral of the first aviation battle, and an admiral of the naval aviation.It can be described as a high position and weight!But he had no way to blatantly slaughter a foreign prisoner of war who had become a prisoner. Not only he couldn't do it, but the chief of staff of the Nanyang Army, Major General Zheng Guoxian, couldn't do it either, even though the commanders of the Malacca POW camp were all his subordinates.

"Impossible. India's national conditions are completely different from those of Ming Dynasty. She, oh, it should be that what they need is not liberation, but conquest." Humphrey seemed to have realized something at this time, but he remained calm and began to He taught Guo Xiaobao the meaning of Zhuge Dao.
