"But we are just prisoners of war..."
"Prisoners of war also have human rights, and the Lipei Defense Army treats prisoners well."
Cheng Ziang reiterated.
After a pause, he glanced around, then said loudly: "Rest assured, I will arrange a Prisoner of War Management Committee to handle some of your issues. If any guards beat or verbally abuse prisoners or engage in other forms of bullying, you can report to the committee, and we will handle it impartially..."
"Moreover, if you have any inconveniences in your life or need anything, feel free to ask. As long as it's not excessive, we can arrange it for you accordingly..."
"You don't have to thank us for our kindness; this is just what we ought to do. You are prisoners of war, not slaves to be slaughtered at will. We are merely treating you according to our own moral standards, nothing more."
"Thank you, sir, for your assistance."
