Prince Asaka Yasuhiko:
Congratulations, Major. You'll make an excellent commander one day. But I ask myself, why is it that I give orders not to take prisoners, and you arrive with thousands? Major Ose:
Please forgive me. Japanese Officer:
Your Highness. Prince Asaka Yasuhiko:
I didn't ask you to speak! [Japanese officer steps back and bows] Prince Asaka Yasuhiko:
So, Major. What do you propose? Major Ose:
Your Highness. It would be extremely difficult to execute that many prisoners. Prince Asaka Yasuhiko:
Is that so? Major Ose:
Furthermore, I believe such executions could be considered to be illegal. Prince Asaka Yasuhiko:
Illegal? I am entrusting you personally with resolving this matter once and for all. I want no prisoner alive by tomorrow morning. We will also shell the city center. Nanking must experience the superiority of our troops
