Chapter 4553 List of Defendants

Lin Feng's "remarks on compensation" received applause from the entire court. Of course, it also attracted Hugh Grant's hateful eyes.

"Your Honor, as far as I'm concerned..." Lin Feng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Monsanto's lawyer.

"Your Honor, I think there is one biggest mistake in this lawsuit, and that is that there is something wrong with the plaintiff." Monsanto's lawyer said loudly, "As we all know, our company produces 'Agent Orange,' but our company is the victim."

The U.S. military commissioned the production, and the one who sprayed Agent Orange was the U.S. Air National Guard. It can be said that our company is only responsible for the production, and I think that if there is someone behind the scenes in this matter, it should be the military.

If the perpetrator is the perpetrator, it should be the Air National Guard who sprayed Agent Orange at that time, and we are the producers of Agent Orange. Although we are also responsible, we should not be the only defendant. If the plaintiff

If you want to sue, you should sue the military and the pilots who sprayed Agent Orange."

There was an uproar in the court. In the past few days of the trial, Monsanto has been arguing with Lin Feng's lawyer about the harm of Agent Orange without mentioning the military at all. Now it is pointing the finger at the military. Monsanto is trying to

What are you doing? Do you want this matter to get bigger and bigger? If it really gets bigger, how will this matter end?

Does Monsanto want to use this to force Lin Feng to retreat?

"Your Honor, although 'Agent Orange' was commissioned by the military and sprayed by the Air National Guard, for these poor innocent Vietnamese children, they are an extremely vulnerable group. They went to sue the U.S. military. This is

This is impossible. Moreover, no one knows what kind of compensation the U.S. military can ultimately make. But Monsanto is a company. From a rational point of view, it is easier to seek compensation from Monsanto. And this is also

It meets the terms of being the best debt collector as defined by the law. What's more, from a strict legal perspective, the U.S. military should bear the moral condemnation." Ron stood up and retorted, "And even if the U.S. military should pay compensation

.But this does not affect my client’s pursuit of Monsanto’s accountability!”

"Your Honor, if we want to compensate these Vietnamese children with deformities, then it would be unfair to let one of our companies do it. So, I think that if we want to compensate, then we must let three parties do it. Rather than let one of us do it."

The company must pay compensation! This is unfair and inconsistent with the fair spirit of American law!" Monsanto's lawyer raised his voice and said, "Your Honor, if this trial is to continue, then the three parties must be tried. And here is a list of those who were originally

The list of military personnel who entrusted our company to produce 'Agent Orange' during the Vietnam War. And the list of pilots who were assigned to perform the mission at that time! They should all be called defendants!"

The judge frowned as he took the list, opened it, and frowned immediately.

"Jury, we need to discuss the temporary addition of names to the defendant list proposed by Monsanto. The court is temporarily adjourned!" The judge knocked the gavel and temporarily left the court.

There was a commotion in the court. Everyone was speculating about what kind of list Monsanto had submitted, which would make the court so embarrassed that it adjourned the court. Who is this military general? Everyone was speculating about a military general who was famous on the battlefield in Vietnam.

.

General William Westmoreland was the top commander of the U.S. stationed in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He was an airborne soldier. He was the commander of the airborne regiment during the Korean War and the youngest president of West Point Military Academy. He had a cold personality and was good at using the most powerful weapons.

Cruel and the most cold-blooded massacre was used to deal with guerrilla tactics. The reason why the Vietnam War later aroused opposition from the American people and forced the withdrawal of troops was because of General William Westmoreland's cold-blooded massacre.

The situation in Vietnam spiraled out of control, leading to scenes of atrocities in Vietnam, which aroused concern among the American people and eventually led to the withdrawal of troops.

It can be said that there is no other military authorizer of Agent Orange except General William Westmoreland. Moreover, General William Westmoreland passed away the year before last, that is, in 2005. He can also

Become the best candidate to take the blame. But will the U.S. military allow General William Westmoreland to take the blame?

What exactly does Monsanto want to do with this move? If this matter gets too big, it will not benefit anyone.

At this moment, the inner courtyard.

"Everyone, what do you think should be done now?" The judge handed the list submitted by Monsanto to many juries.

After everyone saw it, they all exclaimed.

"Is Monsanto trying to completely break up its reputation? Is it trying to turn the United States upside down?" Several jury members couldn't help but exclaimed.

This list is really shocking. Monsanto is completely shameless.

"Do you have any suggestions for the current situation?" The judge stopped everyone's exclamations and scoldings.

"Your Honor, we believe that the best way now is to call both sides in for negotiation. If this fight continues, it is unpredictable what situation it will bring to the entire United States." After deliberations, many juries

, give their answers.

The judge nodded and immediately ordered Lin Feng, Hugh Grant, and the lawyers from both sides to be called in.

"Everyone, based on the current situation, I propose that you both settle out of court, and I will negotiate to help you deal with this matter. Monsanto will provide a sum of compensation to compensate these Vietnamese deformed children, so that this matter can be put to an end," the judge said.

He looked at Ron and said.

Ron glanced at Lin Feng solemnly, and then said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if you can let me see Monsanto's defendant list."

The judge nodded and handed the defendant's list to Ron. After reading it, Ron's face became more solemn, and then handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng exclaimed when he saw the result.

In this court, the name of General William Westmoreland, which everyone suspected was listed, was clearly listed, but it was not the most conspicuous. There were several more prominent names on it. For example, the then US Secretary of Defense Robert McKenna

Mara, the longest-serving, most controversial and probably most influential Secretary of Defense in modern American history.

Famous events such as the Berlin Wall Crisis, the Bay of Pigs Incident, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the escalation of the Vietnam War all occurred during the peak of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union from 1961 to 1968 during his tenure, and left deep traces of McNamara. Because of his role in the Vietnam War

The unpopular war that had a profound impact on American society was even called "McNamara's War."

Of course, 30 years after the Vietnam War, McNamara, who once led the war, also initiated repentance and admitted that he was wrong - We-were-wrong, terribly-wrong. We were wrong, we were terribly wrong.

There are two more lists on top of Robert McNamara's list. One is President Lyndon Johnson, who initiated the Vietnam War. This is the 36th president of the United States who resigned because of the Vietnam War. In American history,

A highly ranked U.S. president, his achievements mainly include passing the elderly care medical system, Medicaid system, civil rights law and voting rights law. But his biggest stain is the Vietnam War. It was he who started the Vietnam War and expanded it.

, and launched the infamous Operation Rolling Thunder.

Operation Rolling Thunder was a bombing campaign against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam conducted by the U.S. Air Force's 2nd Air Division (later the U.S. Seventh Air Force), the U.S. Navy, and the Air Force of the Republic of Vietnam from March 2, 1965 to November 1, 1968.

The operation was an extremely brutal and bloody plan of indiscriminate target bombing, like rolling over a minefield, and layer upon layer of bombing. Of course, this plan, due to the presence of Soviet and Chinese personnel on the ground in Vietnam at that time, led to the final

Plan Rolling Thunder failed. Otherwise, it would have become the ugliest military plan in human history.

Of course, like the late General William Westmoreland, the 36th President of the United States died of illness on January 22, 1973. When a person is dead, the tea is already cold.

As for the first person on the list, it is someone whom Lin Feng is very familiar with - the current President of the United States, Bush. As for why Bush is on the list, it is also very clear, because Bush was spraying 'Agent Orange' at the time.

That is, one of the pilots of the 'Defoliant'.

The so-called defoliant is a kind of industrially synthesized venom. Its function is to kill plants or cause their leaves to fall off overnight.

In Vietnam, almost 1/3 of the country's total land is covered by tropical evergreen forests and subtropical deciduous forests. From 1967 to 1971, in order to prevent Vietnamese guerrilla attacks, the US military used coastal areas in Vietnam to protect ships and 'personnel'

Safety. The U.S. military began to use chemical defoliants. The 'Agent Orange' produced by Monsanto has the most rapid and violent effect among defoliants, and it is also the most harmful and has the greatest sequelae.

As a pilot, President Bush sprayed Agent Orange. This was an extremely safe and important job. It was a very bright side of his military resume. This was also an arrangement made by the Bush family after Bush joined the military to increase his personal resume.

.But no one expected that Agent Orange would be so harmful and would cause so much harm to the Vietnamese. As well as the negative impact of the subsequent Vietnam War, Bush's resume, which should have added glory, instead became a stain on his life.

Therefore, Bush later quietly left the military, and this experience was artificially hidden. This was also the reason why Bush was repeatedly ridiculed by the outside world as a fake when he ran for President of the United States. In fact, Bush was real

He joined the army and went to the battlefield in Vietnam. However, the result was very disgraceful.

It’s very troublesome for Monsanto to drag these four people into trouble!

"Mr. Lin, I think none of us want this matter to get bigger and bigger, so it's better for you both to negotiate and resolve it," the judge said sincerely.
