"Your Excellency!" The captain took two steps forward and stood attentively: "The war has ended. As prisoners of war who have put down their weapons, we should have the most super-coded security guarantee. As for the massacre of civilians..." The captain paused and said:
"Most of them do what the soldiers have no food and are forced by the supervision team. I hope you can let these soldiers go."
"You mean, we cannot hold these people responsible for their murder?" The speaker was Dabala, the first group of Bushman officers to go to Soyo for training. He is now the rank of lieutenant colonel.
"Of course not." The captain stumbled for a moment and replied awkwardly: "I just hope that you can let these ordinary soldiers go. After all, in the war, they are all executing the officer's orders and they are involuntarily."
"That means, it should be the officer who bears the blame!" Dabala said arrogantly in the tone of the winner.
"In comparison, the officer's responsibility is greater than that of a soldier," the captain replied.
"In other words, do you think the officer deserves the most, right? What about you?" From beginning to end, Zhou Jiping didn't say anything, just let Dabala humiliate the other party arbitrain.
The captain was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I am willing to take responsibility, please execute me and let them go!"
As soon as the captain said this, the audience immediately became solemn. The arrogant Dabala was also stunned by the other party's choice of seeking death. Whether it was the victorious party or the captain comrade-in-arms who were also prisoners of war, they all looked at him in shock.

"Why did you do this?" Zhou Jiping finally spoke
The captain's lips moved, but it took a long time to answer: "We... did something shameless as soldiers, we shouldn't do that, but most of us are unable to disobey the command of the commander now, if
If you want to pursue the investigation, please investigate officers like me and let those soldiers go." As he spoke, the captain walked towards the special prisoner of war with a shocked look.
"Do you think you are a saint?" Zhou Jiping secretly admired the captain's actions, but he did not want to be deceived by the other party's fame. So he asked the captain to go to the special prisoner of war while asking indifferently.
"Your Excellency, we are all poor people... The war is over, there is no need to die so many people to let those soldiers live, let me atone for their actions." The captain replied with grief and finally walked into the representative death
In the group of prisoners of war
"Let my soldiers go and I'll die for them!" Another lieutenant stood up and pointed at the soldiers who were dragged out, and then walked into the special prisoners of war on their own.
"The person who let me go..." Another officer who was seeking death stood up and stood up
"Let them all go! I'm a colonel." One of the few colonel officers also stood up.
One after another, more than 30 officers stood up automatically and expressed their willingness to die on their behalf.
"Are there anyone willing to be a saint?" Zhou Jiping asked expressionlessly, his tone was still full of solemnity and no one responded. Zhou Jiping called Zorick and stopped the action of exposing each other between the prisoners of war and then
In addition to the officers who were pointed out to have taken the lead in killing, even the officers and soldiers below the level were driven back.
In this way, the number of people increased in the previous round of arrests has dropped rapidly, except for the special prisoners of war that had been registered before, only some officers who were later arrested. At the same time, Zhou Jiping secretly ordered Zorick to take those
The officers who took the initiative to stand also recorded the case separately. Although these people stood up by themselves, Zhou Jiping wanted to let them go, but he still wanted to scare them well. Maybe these people could be used in the future.
In fact, Zhou Jiping also knew that half of the soldiers who stood up were because their family members were held in the hands of Ma Su Ali, whether they surrender or betrayal, what was waiting for them was not a good result. Now they can exchange their lives for them.
The lives of several people were a helpless choice. Of course, Zhou Jiping did not intend to tell them about Mountbatten's control of all the officers' families.
"Your Excellency, what should we do? Please let us go. We pointed out those people we made contributions..." Several soldiers of the supervising team who initially identified begged for mercy in chaos and said.
Hearing the begging for mercy of these soldiers, Zhou Jiping observed carefully and saw that the Northern Army prisoners present looked at the prisoners of war in the supervision team, and his eyes were full of contempt. Zhou Ji smiled calmly and felt it in his heart.
He waved to Zorick and drove the soldiers of the Xiangming Supervisor team into a large group of prisoners.
"Sir, please separate us from them, they will kill us..." Several prisoners of war in the supervising team only walked a few steps forward, and read out their future from the faces of the prisoners who had just offended by them.
The fate of
"Push them in!" Zhou Jiping ordered in a deep voice, not listening to the mercy of these prisoners of war at all.
According to what Zhou Jiping learned, these guys in the supervision team, even an ordinary soldier, are all characters who are used to acting arrogantly, whether they do evil in peace or kill ordinary soldiers in wartime.
But if you do all the things that are harmful to nature and just want to save your life just because you have made a few evil people today. Wouldn't that be too cheap for them?
Especially compared with those officers who are willing to die for their soldiers, these guys have no reason to keep them alive. However, there is no need for Zhou Jiping to deal with these guys, just hand them over to those
Ordinary prisoners of war, believe they will receive the retribution they deserve
After discussion with Zorick and others, everyone unanimously decided to hold a public trial meeting on the Northern Army's massacre of civilians that afternoon, and then punish those Northern Army who committed war crimes after the meeting.
After another screening, in addition to the entire supervisory team and some officers who were indeed extremely guilty, some soldiers of the Northern Army who had minor crimes were also classified as those who could not die. Of course, although these people can be temporarily exempted from death, they will be determined to be one.
For a long sentence, they will use their freedom and labor to atone for the Bushmen
But just before the public trial meeting was held, Elder Jiwayo, who had not appeared, came to find Zhou Jiping.
The old man's face was extremely bad. It can be seen that not only did he not have a good rest overnight, but he was also lingered by extremely upset things and became listless. He seemed to have become much older.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhou Jiping was shocked when he saw the old man's appearance and asked with concern.
