Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 210: Claire's Shock

Without waiting for Claire to speak, Chen Feng continued: "You said that the U.S. government has announced that it is forbidden to use U.S. ships to carry weapons and military equipment for export. Does this mean that the U.S. government is just? military purchase services for either party. But have you ever thought about it? What the United States prohibits is not to use American ships to serve the warring parties, but not to prohibit transactions with the warring parties. This policy first treats the aggressor and the aggressed as equals, It doesn't reflect the justice and justice you said at all."

"In addition, this policy is suitable for the requirements of Japan, which has a powerful navy. Because at this time, the Japanese navy has mastered the command and control of the waters between China and Japan, and Japanese ships can unimpededly load weapons, military equipment and other strategic materials from the United States. However, the Japanese navy, which holds the command of the sea, blocked China's coastal waters, so that even if China bought weapons and equipment in the United States, it did not dare to use Chinese ships to transport them. It could only rent ships from the United States and other countries that Japan did not dare to inspect. But the United States prohibited the lease of American ships. The policy of ships transporting weapons bought in the U.S. makes Japan still able to obtain U.S. weapons and military equipment, while China has difficulty obtaining U.S. weapons and equipment. Do you think this is fair?"

"But...but this is not the reason for you to massacre prisoners of war. Prisoners of war should be treated humanely. First of all, you must ensure their personal safety, and you cannot detain them in places without security. In addition, you cannot intimidate, watch or even Beat and slaughter them at will, and you should give higher treatment to higher-level prisoners of war. This is an international convention." Claire said.

"Miss Claire, you are so naive. We and the Japanese saw no inhumanity or inhumanity, only hatred, unforgettable hatred. Even if I can treat Japanese prisoners of war as you said, the Japanese can treat them equally Treat our prisoners of war? The answer is no, they will not treat Chinese people as human beings, let alone Chinese prisoners of war." Chen Feng said disdainfully.

"You don't have any basis for this. How do you know that the Japanese will not treat Chinese prisoners of war in a humane way. You have never been to their prisoner-of-war camps." Claire said without showing any weakness.

"Based? Do you know why the Chinese hate the Japanese so much?" Feng Chen didn't answer Claire's words.Instead, this question was asked.

"It's because they invaded your country!" Claire said.

"This is indeed a reason, but in history, the British, French, Italians, Dutch, and even you Americans have invaded our China, but why the Chinese only hate the Japanese. Can't wait to sleep Its skin eats its flesh?" Chen Feng asked again.

"This..."

"Let me tell you. The reason why the Chinese are ignorant of the Japanese is not only because of their aggressive actions, but also because their brutal methods are unmatched among the big powers. As early as the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army committed two massacres at Lushunkou. The atrocities committed by tens of thousands of Chinese civilians. The Westerners who were also colonial empires were dumbfounded. In the ensuing aggression, the Japanese army continued to commit atrocities of killing, torture, and rape, showing an essentially cruel political and social culture. In order to In retaliation for the tenacious resistance of the Chinese people, the Japanese army captured and captured the captured cities, especially those cities that had fiercely resisted their aggression. Innocent civilians were often publicly executed in large numbers, and were even used as live targets for assassination by the Japanese army."

Speaking of which, Chen Feng took Claire to a secret file room of the No.40 Army, then opened the metal cabinet, took out a dozen file boxes, and then said: "The Japanese are not only cruel to Chinese prisoners of war, but also cruel to Chinese women. The killing and killing are even more heinous. Not only did the Japanese army have no guilt for this heinous crime, they even took videos and photos to show off. These photos, documents, notes, and letters were collected by our soldiers on the battlefield. These things They are all Japanese soldiers as capital to show off their military exploits, but in our opinion, this is a blood debt that must be washed away with blood and a scar that will never heal. It is also a shame that every son and daughter of Yangyang China will never forget .”

Claire took the file box that Chen Feng handed over, and then looked at it carefully. The more she looked at the American lady, her face became paler, and she even ran outside to vomit at one point, because the pictures were too bloody and terrifying. .

Chen Feng had consciously collected these things from the very beginning. They were all evidences of Japan's invasion of China and massacre of Chinese citizens. In addition, these things were also the best material for ideological education of soldiers.So far, the No.40 Army has collected a large truckload of relevant evidence, most of which are photos and documents, and the rest are letters and notes.

Some of these things were sent to the military academy, and the other part was kept at the general headquarters of the group army.Every once in a while, the Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Armed Forces, and the brigade-level troops of various divisions and brigades came to borrow these documents, and then organized students, soldiers, local militiamen, and government officials from various places to watch them, in order to arouse their hatred of the Japanese, and at the same time It also allows them to see clearly the faces of the Japanese.

It took a while for Claire to calm down a little, and then said to Chen Feng with a pale face: "Is this all true?"

"It's all true. There are not only photos of Japanese soldiers here, but also letters they wrote to their loved ones and their own notes. Look at this photo. This is the end of 1937. After the Japanese army captured Jinan, they forced China to The prisoners of war dug trenches by themselves, then stabbed them to death with bayonets, and buried them in the trenches, the methods were extremely brutal." Chen Feng said.

"How could they do this? Didn't they say that the invasion of China was just to liberate the Chinese people, to establish..." Claire said in disbelief.

"Wake up, Claire. The invaders always use lies to cover up their crimes. Why did the Chinese use their Japanese to liberate? Is this what the so-called liberators should do? You stop me from massacring their prisoners of war , do you know how the Japanese treat our prisoners of war?"

Chen Feng looked at Claire and continued: "After the outbreak of this damn war of aggression, the Japanese army established a group of labor camps for prisoners of war in China. In North China alone, there are Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Beiping, Tanggu, Qingdao, Xigong, etc. Many concentration camps. According to the information collected by our intelligence agency and the confessions of the captured Japanese soldiers, the Shijiazhuang Concentration Camp is one of the prisoners of war labor concentration camps established by the Japanese army in North China. One of the concentration camps where the persecution was the most brutal and the labor struggle was the most intense. It was actually the base camp where the Japanese army conducted enslavement education on the captured anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, instigated rebellion, used enslavement, and transported labor. It was also a hell on earth for the bloody suppression of Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. This A total of 2 prisoners of war were held in the concentration camp, and more than 7000 died. The Japanese army massacred Chinese prisoners of war with extremely cruel methods. They often grouped five prisoners of war together, and then shot them from behind with two "5" guns. Or tie the Chinese people out of the car, and when they get to the pier, "snap" means a knife, whether you die or not. You will be stabbed into the river with a knife. There is another way to kill. It is to tie people and push them to the pier On the way, Gu Lulu was pushed down the river, and when the man came out of the water, the Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at them and beat them. This is the cruelty of Japanese imperialism to us Chinese.”

Seeing Claire trembling all over.Chen Feng sighed deeply and said: "There are iron laws in war. Opportunities are equal for both the enemy and us, and death is even more inevitable. The reason why I insist on executing the more than 400 Japanese prisoners of war this time is not because I ignore international conventions." , but because the Japanese actually used innocent people as prisoners of war. At the same time, they also used chemical weapons on these innocent people to deliberately create a plague, causing more than 3000 ordinary people and soldiers to die. So their behavior must be Get punished. Blindly forbearance will only make the wolves feel weak, and next time they will intensify their cruelty to you."

Claire shook her head and said, "Although what you said is very reasonable, I still cannot accept that you directly ordered the massacre of those prisoners who put down their weapons."

"Slowly you will get used to it, and what's more, I don't really care what you Americans think. To be honest, I am very disappointed with the current US government. His performance in this war did not reflect a The sense of responsibility that a big country should have is more like an accomplice and executioner." Chen Feng said.

"No, you don't understand the United States. The United States is a free and just country. It is not what you say it is. You are slandering, slandering. Do you know that?" Claire seemed very surprised when Chen Feng commented on her motherland. Angry, in her heart, the United States represents freedom and justice.

Chen Feng smiled disdainfully and said: "Freedom and justice are bullshit. In the eyes of American politicians, there are only naked interests. Now more than half of the raw materials that maintain the operation of the Japanese war machine, especially iron, steel and oil , are all obtained from the United States. In the past year, the United States exported 1.869 million US dollars of military supplies to Japan, accounting for about 86% of the total exports of the United States to Japan in that year. Because of the indulgence of the United States and others, Japan invaded China more aggressively. Due to the U.S. arms embargo policy and Japan’s naval blockade, not only is it extremely difficult for China to import arms, but it has also made it difficult for China to import other materials.”

"In addition, at the beginning of November 1937, various countries held a meeting of the parties to the 11 Washington Treaty in Brussels to discuss the situation that had formed in the Far East. The participants included the United Kingdom, the United States, China, France, etc. or to impose economic sanctions and aid to China. To be honest, if all member states of the League of Nations imposed economic sanctions on Japan, it would be a means to stop the aggressors, because about three-quarters of Japan’s raw material imports come from the United Kingdom, the United States, China, the Netherlands, Indonesia, France, Indochina. The important strategic raw materials needed by Japan, such as iron sand, lead, tin, manganese, etc., are almost completely dependent on imports from the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands. However, the proposal on sanctions has not been approved by the law. , Britain, and the United States. The Brussels meeting only passed a declaration-style resolution, pointing out that Japan’s actions in China violated the Washington Nine-Power Treaty, and suggested that Japan stop military operations, but did not stipulate any measures to deal with the aggressors. In the eyes of those fat bastards, China's life and death have nothing to do with them. So don't flaunt freedom and justice in front of me, because in the eyes of you American politicians, interests are the most important. But I want to reiterate that, Their short-sightedness will, in the near future, plunge the entire United States into a terrible catastrophe that will cost the lives of countless American citizens and set the American economy back decades."

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng ignored the shocked Claire, strode out of the file room, and then notified the troops to prepare for the public shooting of Japanese prisoners of war. (To be continued..)
