Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Zai Xun's voice was low and slow: "Bowles organized the Ku Klux Klan congregations to smuggle drugs and arms around the world, shot and killed 12 Chinese soldiers, and massacred 330 and six overseas Chinese in the United States. Execute immediately!"

Dragon's Roar Chapter 140 [-] The biggest scapegoat in history

As soon as the words fell, two soldiers came up immediately, pinching Bowers from left to right and dragging him out of the venue.

"No, don't kill me! I'm willing to expose everything..." Bowles begged one after another outside the venue, screaming miserably.

No one in the field cast a sympathetic look at this guy.

"Take former U.S. Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates and Secretary of the Army Vance!" Zai Xun said directly after the verdict was pronounced without a break.

When Gates and Vance came up, they were much calmer than Powers, but they couldn't hide the slight panic and emaciation on their expressions.

The two of them were charged with war crimes, homicide, indirect homicide and the crime against humanity invented by Guan Xuqing. Zaixun announced as many as 29 crimes.Gates was wearing the uniform of an American general, but the neckline could not be fastened because Powers tore it in the morning, and his hair was neatly combed. This outfit was supposed to leave an image of himself dying and unyielding to the Americans, but, In the eyes of the Chinese, he is a brazen fellow, a disgusting fellow.

Gates, who was standing in the dock, seemed to be trying his best to maintain the dignity of a soldier. He bowed slightly and said, "Of course I have to take some responsibility for these things, but not the main responsibility; my predecessor, and his predecessor's predecessor, All need to bear the corresponding recognition, even including the President."

Having said that, he turned his head and glanced at Johnson. Johnson's face was very ugly because of his accusations. Gates continued to turn his head and said: "Without the approval of the President and Congress, any of our orders cannot take effect; the same , Regarding the massacre of Chinese and smashing of Chinese industries, I can only say that I am very sorry, but I want you to recognize the fact that the actions of soldiers on the front line are beyond the control of us decision makers. Do we have to start from here? Going to the front and telling our soldiers, you can’t do this? So, in my opinion, I’m innocent and I can only suffer from a bad conscience.”

His eloquence angered the Chinese accuser on the spot. When he finished speaking, the commander stood up and said angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense. You were the first to propose a 'continental policy' to attack the American continent, including Mexico, Cuba, etc. The territory of neighboring countries is regarded as the "line of interest" of the United States. In your armaments opinion paper, you put forward the idea of ​​using China as an "imaginary enemy country", thinking: "European countries are separated from our country, and the pain and pain are not urgent. As the United States The imaginary enemy country of the United States is China, and it is China that is confronting the United States. Therefore, the United States must increase its armaments against China. "

Under the sharp offensive of the prosecutor, Gates gradually lowered his head.The commander went on to accuse Gates of sending more than 3600 troops into Los Angeles under the pretext of "protecting American residents."Next, a series of accusations had multiple witnesses to testify in court, including Lieutenant General James and Maryland of the US Army. Gates' expression became more and more flustered.

As for Vance's official rank is lower, so compared to Gates, his crime is also slightly smaller.

"Your Honor, I have something to say," said Vance suddenly.

"Yes, you have the right to defend yourself." Zai Xun said.

Vance glanced at his boss, Gates, with a complicated look on his face: "I admit all the charges against me by the court and plead guilty willingly, but I implore the court to consider my special situation. My boss, the former Secretary of Defense of the United States, Gates, his influence in the military and political circles of the United States is quite huge. In terms of strategic policies, many things are not in the hands of me, the Secretary of the Army, and I need to consult His Excellency Gates to make the final decision. To put it bluntly, I This Secretary of the Army is just a poor puppet, a pawn at the mercy of Gates, because I can only bear secondary responsibility for the crimes against me!"

His sudden defection and accusation against Gates caught everyone by surprise, and Gates was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect, really didn't expect, that his loyal subordinates, at such a critical moment, would turn all The dirty water and the responsibility have all been pushed onto myself.

"Gates, do you have anything to say about Vance's accusation?" Zai Xun asked coldly.

"He's talking nonsense, he's talking nonsense!" Gates finally woke up from his astonishment, furious, the two soldiers beside him held him down with difficulty, and Gates said out of breath: "He's slandering me, I don't know anything about it, it's all planned by him, he should go to hell, go to hell!"

By this time, many Americans who were watching had closed their eyes. In their eyes, the "heroes" in their minds had become two clowns, two clowns who shamed the entire American people.The solemn trial venue suddenly became a place where two Americans accused and attacked each other. The two completely forgot their demeanor and dignity, and scolded each other like two shrews.No one expected such a scene, including Guan Xuqing who was in control of everything.

After arguing for a full two hours, Gates and Vance showed no sign of fatigue at all, and revealed all the scandals of the eighteen generations of their ancestors. Under such circumstances, Zai Xun promptly announced the adjournment.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when the court session was held again, a scene that surprised everyone happened.

The prosecutor returned to his seat and said, "Your Honor, I request that the President of the United States be allowed to testify as a witness."

No one expected such a situation. The field was boiling all of a sudden, talking about everything. Most Americans turned their attention to President Johnson, who was sitting there awkwardly, hoping that at this time they The president of the United States can show some courage to refuse.Only Guan Xuqing closed his eyes with a slight smile.Johnson is going crazy, what do the Chinese want to do, want to trap themselves in great injustice?Do you use the dignity of the president to testify against the crimes committed by your loyal subordinates?Not to mention whether this has any impact on the US government, once he goes up to testify, the last fig leaf will be completely torn off.

Zai Xun thought about it and said, "Agreed, no matter who is involved in this case, they have the obligation to testify."

The two Chinese military officers walked up to the president without speaking, but just made a gesture of please.The president told himself ten thousand times to refuse, to refuse, but when the Chinese soldiers really walked in front of him, his two legs stood up as if they couldn't control them. Went to the witness stand.The meeting place that was chaotic and discussing just now suddenly fell silent. The Chinese people had more or less smiles on their faces. The Americans seemed unwilling to watch or think about anything. Even the secretaries sighed.At this moment, Johnson is no longer the pride of the Americans. He is just a worm, a worm who is willing to do anything to survive.

Faced with the prosecutor's question, Johnson's head was in a daze, and he only knew that he would answer whatever the Chinese asked.

"Your Excellency, please answer, before the war against China started, did you know the truth. Or do you also have to bear some responsibility for this?" the accuser asked, looking directly at Johnson.

At this point, Johnson also seemed to be desperate: "I have no responsibility. All the government's decisions are made by military officials, including the Secretary of Defense. All I have to do is to sign the document." , I can’t refuse at all; I think anyone who has a little understanding of the United States as a whole knows that the president is just a symbol, and the war criminals who should be punished are these people on stage, not me! This war has been discussed at the Pentagon It was sent to me later. On this matter, everyone like Gates and Vance is in favor of it, and no one is against it, except maybe me!"

There was an uproar again on the field, and the Americans were shaking their heads and sighing.

"Quiet!" Zai Xun maintained order in the venue.

Clark suddenly said at this moment: "Your Honor, I have something to say."

Zai Xun nodded.

Clark turned his head to where most Americans were, and said as loudly as possible that everyone could hear, "This is our President, the President we bleed for! While our soldiers are on the front lines , he hid in the official residence, enjoyed the food, enjoyed everything the American people gave him, and felt at ease. What kind of person is our president? He was arrogant and irritable since he was a child. When he was watching a military exercise, he would suddenly run down the reviewing stand, open the soldiers' backpacks and rummage through them; another time, when he was attending the opening ceremony of the Congress, on a whim, he rolled his speech into a cylinder with a smirk, and put it on In terms of eyes, we have lost our face by looking at foreign envoys indiscriminately! I admit that Johnson’s authority is not as good as the great President Kennedy, but all this is his own fault! The resolutions made by the government and the military, there is no His approval cannot be passed, he knows everything, including the war! Can he avoid his responsibility? When the Chinese army enters New York, we are ready to fight till the last soldier falls to protect him , but in order to save his own life, he despicably arrested our comrades and handed them over to the Chinese. My compatriots, my compatriots, the United States no longer needs Johnson, and it is better to hand over power to the Americans , or hand it over to the Chinese, in short, Johnson must step down, he can no longer be a vampire, sucking the blood of the American people endlessly!"

Although Clark performed an ugly performance in order to save his own life, his speech had a huge impact on the hearts of Americans, and the position of the president has become something that everyone hates since this speech. It also played an unexpected role for China to solve the overall problem of American democratic elections in the future.

Dragon's Roar Chapter 140 Chapter [-] "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. At this time, Johnson, who returned to his seat, couldn't sit or walk, and felt uncomfortable like a thorn growing under his buttocks.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. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, whose just powers, is produced by 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 government; the principles upon which it is based, its organizational power to make the people think that only in this way can they obtain their safety and happiness...." Gates read the most important founding document in American history, the "Declaration of Independence", as if to show that he regarded death as his own With courage, he raised his wine glass: "Everyone, let's say goodbye!"

"It is a prudence that governments long established should not be altered for slight and transitory causes. And all experience has shown that mankind is more willing to suffer, so long as it is endurable, than to have a Declaration of Independence." They intend to abolish the government they have been used to for their own rights." Vance continued: "Minister, we have done America wrong, let us bid farewell, 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 gallows 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 large pillars on the left and right, and a column of the same thickness connected to the top of the two pillars. Four hemp ropes 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!"
