At 12:00 PM on April 4, in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, newspaper extras were being sold at various newsstands, and Hungarian people bought them one after another. In addition to the news that the Asian International Tribunal's Prosecutor Team and the Hearing Committee jointly voted to pass the prosecution application, the extra also featured the name of Professor Bakó Ferenc of the Law School of the University of Budapest, Hungary.

Professor Bakó Ferenc was one of the seven Chief Judges of the Asian International Tribunal. The extra directly called Professor Bakó Ferenc a Hungarian national hero. After the end of the European War, as a defeated country, Hungary was forced to accept the *Treaty of Trianon*. More than 70% of its territory was carved up, and its population plummeted from more than 20 million to more than 6 million.

Hungary had no intention of joining the European War and thought it could muddle through by soy-saucing [staying on the sidelines]. Unexpectedly, it suffered such losses after the war, so it naturally hated the Allied Powers incomparably. Now Hungary joined the Asian International Tribunal and was qualified to try the massacre case of the ANZAC Corps. At this time, the prosecution request was passed, and the emotions of the Hungarian people were greatly vented.

Although Hungary constantly mixed blood with local Europeans, the naming method of this country was the same as that of Asia, with the surname first. Since China's rejuvenation, coupled with the shock caused by the Asian International Tribunal in Europe like huge waves, Hungary's enthusiasm for its own history had risen even more. The Hungarian government had decided to establish diplomatic relations with China. With the superposition of several factors, the pro-China atmosphere in Hungary reached an unprecedented level. Under the ceaseless propaganda of the media, Professor Bakó Ferenc had become a national hero in the hearts of the Hungarian people.

Standing on the side of human civilization and justice to try the evil Britain, if such a person is not a Hungarian national hero, who can be called a national hero?

In Paris, France, joyful people almost went to the streets to parade. French newspapers had long forgotten that the view 'Anglos don't thank France' was first proposed by China. This view had long become a common view in France. The British, who should have suffered divine punishment long ago, finally had to face their retribution. The joy of the French people was beyond words. Beside the open-air tables and chairs of French roadside cafes, French people were full of confidence in practicing human civilization and justice. Everyone discussed, sipped, and laughed.

Moreover, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) could broadcast news live at the fastest speed. The French *Le Figaro*, together with the French media, also completed the same work. The latest news from French reporters in China came from the radio. In addition to the prosecution being passed, more new news followed.

On April 6, all members participating in the Asian International Tribunal were about to take an oath. After the oath, the Asian International Tribunal was about to begin its work. The damn British would accept the trial of civilization and justice.

The economic conditions of Italy, Germany, and Austria were average, so the governments of the three countries chose to inspire national emotions by publicizing the effective work of their own legal experts, coroners, and criminal investigators. According to the tradition of European civilization, defeat means moral backwardness. Nothing is more moral work than standing on the winner's side to judge the loser.

What's more, standing at the height of civilization and justice to judge massacres against civilians, although somewhat inconsistent with the tradition of European civilization. But opposing massacre, after all, belongs to a relatively recognizable moral category. The governments of the three countries also decided to seize this opportunity to increase government support in the country.

Even in Japan, the Japanese government hurriedly sent a 'Special Kempeitai' to British India to ensure that the Japanese army did not do anything out of line. Lieutenant General Ishiwara Kanji, who was eating with the Japanese Navy, snorted coldly after hearing this news, and said to Captain Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the Navy squadron of the British India Expeditionary Force, with a bit of drunkenness: "Brother Yamamoto, it is the Army that understands politics."

Lieutenant General Nagata Tetsuzan and Major General Okamura Yasuji couldn't help laughing after hearing this. The Navy officers of the Expeditionary Force hesitated to speak one by one. They all knew what Army 'idiots' meant. He Rui was the top student of the Japanese Army War College and had countless supporters in the Japanese Army. The so-called 'Army understands politics' actually meant He Rui understands politics.

Expeditionary Force Navy Fleet Commander Yamamoto Isoroku was forthright. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, "Haha, He-kun is indeed admirable. My Great Japanese Empire, accumulated for decades since Emperor Meiji, is actually not as high in international prestige as He-kun achieved in one year. Those wastes in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be demoted and fined!"

Hearing Yamamoto cleverly shift the spearhead to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the face of the Navy officers was maintained to a certain extent, and they also criticized the incompetence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a few words.

Nagata Tetsuzan could only sigh, "We are indeed inferior to He-kun's talent." This remark came from the heart. Nagata Tetsuzan knew very well that Britain was still the world hegemon and the biggest beneficiary of the Versailles system. But in the propaganda war, Britain was rubbed on the ground by China and actually had no power to fight back.

Okamura Yasuji followed, "He-kun's ability to seize opportunities is admirable."

Hearing this, Japanese Army and Navy officers nodded one after another. The Japanese army completely didn't expect the ANZAC Corps massacre in Burma before. Knowing their own family affairs, the Japanese army actually knew very well that in terms of civilization level, the Japanese army was not much better than the ANZAC Corps. But He Rui accurately grasped this opportunity, plus exquisite operation, directly stepped on the British head and stood on the moral high ground.

Now the powers of the world have committed atrocities no less than the ANZAC Corps in the colonies. If other powers engaged in this kind of international tribunal, it would only add to the laughingstock. It just happened that China restored its status as a power, and China had been repeatedly invaded by other countries before and belonged to the massacred side. This led to China being exceptionally innocent in this regard. Led by the He Rui government to lead the Asian International Tribunal, other countries couldn't find a reason to oppose it. It was really time and fate.

Just as everyone was sighing, Lieutenant General Ishiwara Kanji, Commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Expeditionary Force in the Anglo-Japanese Joint Forces, said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen, with the current situation, Britain probably can't fight anymore. As long as Britain prepares to make peace with China, we may face the situation of being abandoned by Britain. I hope you all can be vigilant about this."

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese officers were all astonished. After a moment of silence, those officers with sharper minds understood that what Ishiwara said was not simple intimidation, but a calm prediction of reality. For a time, no Japanese officer dared to take over the conversation. They could only think silently in their hearts.

Okamura Yasuji looked at Nagata Tetsuzan and saw that Nagata looked calm, just falling into contemplation. This made Okamura Yasuji feel uneasy in his heart. Now the recognized 'Three Crows' in the Japanese Army were Nagata, Ishiwara, and Okamura. Okamura had been a Major General for four years. Because of his civilian background, Okamura never thought he could become a Marshal. As long as there were no problems, Okamura could become one of the Three Chiefs of the Army in the next ten years and retire as a General of the Army. For Okamura, this was the best military career he could think of.

However, if Ishiwara's prediction became reality, Okamura's future fate might change. And for Ishiwara's prediction, Okamura never dared not to take it seriously.

Just then, Ishiwara drained his glass of wine and said immediately, "The faster the Asian International Tribunal executes, the sooner this day will come. With He-kun's way of doing things, there will definitely be no delay."

As Ishiwara expected, on April 6, led by Professor Zhao Tianlin, Chairman of the Asian International Tribunal Committee, hundreds of selected executive personnel of the Asian International Tribunal took an oath in the Ministry of Justice building in Shanghai.

Among the observers, the most eye-catching was He Rui. Although other observers couldn't compare with He Rui, they were also famous figures. Republic Minister of Commerce Morrison, famous figures in the legal circles of various countries around the world, and presidents of famous Chinese universities. Even several famous people from the religious circle came. There were Taoists from Mount Qingcheng and Wudang Temple. The monks of Shaolin Temple, because they were targets of crackdown in land reform and defined as landlord bullies, were naturally not qualified to come. But the monks of White Horse Temple came, and famous monks from the Burma region also came.

In addition to Chinese religious figures, bishops from Hong Kong, archbishops from Germany and Hungary, and even the Vatican sent a cardinal at the request of the Italian government. Plus an Orthodox archbishop. In addition to legal experts, religious figures from Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, and Protestantism came to observe.

He Rui himself didn't like religious figures very much, but under the suggestions of Wu Youping, Zhao Tianlin, and Morrison, he still had to let this group of people appear. After all, in today's Europe, the moral influence represented by religion was great.

Zhao Tianlin walked to the front stage and took out the oath. 'I swear!' Professor Zhao Tianlin led the oath loudly facing the legal experts participating in the oath.

A group of legal experts followed and recited the oath, "I swear!"
