Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1147 "Declaration of Independence"

At this time, Johnson's face was pale, and Clark's blatant accusations against him were beyond his imagination.

"Temporary adjournment for an hour." Zai Xun announced.

As soon as the court was adjourned, Guan Xuqing was immediately invited to the back, and Johnson, who returned to his seat at this time, could neither sit nor walk, and his slump made him uncomfortable like a thorn.What are the Americans whispering outside?Johnson pricked up his ears, but unfortunately he couldn't hear anything.Nixon turned his head and gave Johnson a thumbs up, not knowing what it meant.

"Americans, it's really ridiculous," Guan Xuqing said with a smile. Today's scene was too dramatic. He thought he would encounter a lot of resistance from the Americans, but he didn't expect it to develop into such a situation. His deployment in the United States in the future is really beneficial: "The minister of defense and the secretary of the army scolded each other, the president and the general blamed each other, it was more exciting than watching a show. Xianghua, today is not in vain, right?"

Feng Xianghua rubbed his nose and smiled wryly: "This country is over. I used to think that the United States has a lot to learn from, but when the country is in real crisis, the gap between China and the United States becomes apparent. Under normal circumstances, it is to dismantle each other and push all the responsibilities on others; while the Chinese nation usually seems to be in discord and acting independently, but when the country is on the edge of a cliff, the Chinese will show more unity than any other nation , for the sake of the whole nation, we will fight bloody to the end, and give our all!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to take this opportunity to solve the president's problem together and add him as a defendant?" Zai Xun said: "I see the situation on the field, and now is a great opportunity."

Guan Xuqing shook his head and said, "No need for the time being, I've already asked someone to handle this matter, and it will come to fruition soon. Is there a verdict?"

"Yes." Zai Xun handed the verdict to Brother Huang.

After a cursory look, Guan Xuqing said: "You handle everything. I'm an outsider in this matter, so I can't come up with any ideas. By the way, there are more than 100 people waiting for trial after the trial of these war criminals. You have to work hard. My opinion Yes, keep it simple and fast, and try to finish it all in half a month, the domestic legal system is still not perfect, and it will wait for you to go back and deal with it.”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after confirming the trial result again, Zaixun re-announced the opening of the court. He stood on the judge's seat and solemnly said: "Now the verdict is officially announced!" People's eyes are majestic, and in the eyes of Americans, they look like an ancient troll who can determine life and death with a single sentence.

"Judgment," Zai Xun held the dossier, looked at the war criminals who were waiting for their fate in panic all day long, and announced the verdict loudly.

Sentenced to death: Gates, Secretary of Defense.Vance, Secretary of the Army.McNamara, Secretary of the Navy.Lewis, Assistant to the President for Security Affairs.All four of them were sentenced to hang and executed immediately, and all their property was confiscated.Clarke escaped death, because of his meritorious service, perhaps especially because of his speech, and was unexpectedly sentenced to life imprisonment.

In the dock, Gates was expressionless, and Clark could clearly hear him gasp in relief.

After a while, Gates stood on the dock, looking up at the sky of Central Park.This used to be the place where he often came with his wife and children. Today, he was sentenced to be hanged here.After listening to Zai Xun's sentence, he turned his body and nodded repeatedly to the Americans who were watching to express his farewell to his compatriots.Then, with his head held high and his chest held high, he walked out of the court led by the Chinese military officers.He wanted to leave an unyielding image to the Americans, but in the eyes of all Americans, the ugly performance not long ago has completely broken his tall image in the hearts of Americans.

Clark first bowed to Zai Xun in the dock, then turned around and bowed to the Chinese emperor before being taken down.

The first trial of American war criminals is over, and the names of Central Park and Zai Xun in New York will be engraved on the monument of history forever.The four condemned prisoners were not given much time to survive, and the gallows was set up on the second day.Before death came, the prisoners on death row seemed relatively calm. They just asked for another delicious American meal before they died. The Chinese side immediately agreed to this reasonable request.

"All men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In order to secure these rights, human beings are established among themselves, and their just rights are established through the consent of the governed. When any form of government is destructive to these ends, the people have the power to change or abolish it in order to establish a new one; Make the people think that this is the only way to obtain their safety and happiness.” Gates read the most important founding document in the history of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, as if to show his courage to see death as home, he held up the Wine glass: "Everyone, let's say goodbye!"

"For the sake of prudence, what has been established for many years should not be changed for slight and temporary reasons. All past experience also shows that any suffering, so long as it is still bearable, is more willing to suffer than to declare independence. To abolish what they have been used to for a long time for their own rights." Vance continued: "Your Excellency, we are sorry for the United States, so let's say goodbye and let those hateful Americans and Chinese accept God's judgment!"

McNamara drank a sip of wine, and murmured: "Freedom, everything is free, let the living feel honored and proud of us, long live the United States of America!"

Lewis was silent, just put the wine into his mouth one after another.None of the four repented of their crimes, as if everything they did was justified.

"It's time!" Shen Zui opened the iron door of the cell.The hanging ground is very close, and it is located in a spacious room on the right side of the prison. There is a huge gallows in the middle, with two pillars on the left and right, and a column of the same thickness connected to the top of the two pillars. A hemp rope with a knot, this is where the four war criminals died.

Gates bowed deeply to his companion: "Everyone, thank you for your contribution to the United States, let us go on the road together!"

The executioner took the prisoners to the gallows, put black cloth hoods on the heads of the four men, and put their necks in the hemp ropes.

Shen Zui took out his pocket watch, and the second hand was ticking. When it was midnight, he put away the pocket watch and said, "Execute it!"

The trap door under the feet of the four war criminals was released, and the huge inertia sank the four of them at once. The noose rope kept shaking at first, and then slowly regained its calm, until it stood vertically there and remained motionless.After a while, the four corpses were put down, several officers went up to check, and then nodded to Shen Zui.Shen Zui let out a sigh of relief, and said to the adjutant beside him, "Report to the emperor that Gates, Vance, McNamara and Lewis have been executed and all have been confirmed dead."
