The next day was the time when the traveler had decided to hold a press conference and answer questions from reporters in Shanghai. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this time, the traveler frequently attended various social activities in Shanghai, leaving a very deep sense of self-confidence. Civilization imprint, and in Shanghai's upper class society has accumulated a relatively deep popularity, because the participants in these activities are basically Shanghai's middle and upper class people; and yesterday's football match, so that Shanghai's middle and lower class civilians also have a great impression of the traverser, although there are not many civilians watching the game so far, but most of the civilians waiting outside the stadium are civilians, and now almost all the civilians in Shanghai are talking about this game.

It can be said that people of all walks of life in Shanghai now have a good impression of the travelers, and there is even a voice among the people in Shanghai, that is, they hope that overseas Chinese can participate in the government affairs of the Qing court, and it is best to enter the military plane to help the Qing court enrich the country and strengthen the army, and get rid of the current humiliating position. Although this kind of voice is not good, and it is mainly circulated among young readers and students, this momentum has emerged.

Although newspapers have been published in Shanghai for more than 30 years, large and small, and there are more than 50 foreign newspapers in China, the press conference and answering reporters' questions are definitely still a new affair in Shanghai, and in the current concept of the Chinese in Shanghai, overseas Chinese have evolved into advanced, civilized, and developed representatives, so all sessions in Shanghai are very interested in this press conference. Almost all of the posters sent reporters to attend.

In addition, there are some foreign reporters who are not from the poster office, who have seen the press conference and answer reporters' questions in foreign countries, but they did not expect that overseas Chinese would have this kind of thing, so they also wanted to see how the press conference of overseas Chinese was held, and of course they also wanted to ask them questions, so they also signed up to participate. There are also some people who have a good impression of the traveler, young students, gentry, and observers sent by consulates of various countries, etc., a total of more than 600 people.

And the traveler is also a comer, as long as they want to participate, they will be accepted. However, it has also been stipulated that only journalists have the right to ask questions, and non-journalists are not allowed to ask questions, and each newspaper can only ask one question, and foreign journalists who are not posters are classified according to nationality, and each country can only ask one question, because the time for the press conference is limited, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., there is only two hours, and it is impossible to answer all the reporters' questions.

However, in this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to answer all the questions of the newspaper and the country within the specified time, so the traveler uses the method of drawing numbers to determine the order of asking questions, and until the end of the press conference, those who do not have their turn can only consider themselves unlucky.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Qin Zheng, Li Sanjie, and Wang Hailong came to the door of the Licha Hotel on time, because there were so many people attending the press conference, the lobby of the Licha Hotel could not accommodate it at all, so it could only be arranged to be held outdoors.

The work efficiency of the Licha Hotel is indeed very high, at this time, the venue has been arranged at the gate, all the people present are in place, and more than 20 cameras have been arranged in the front row, so that there is really a bit of the old time and space is the style of long guns and short guns.

The three of them sat down in the chairman's seat, and Li Sanjie announced the official start of the press conference and answering questions from reporters, with Qin Zheng speaking first.

Qin Zheng got up and said: "Fellow journalists, and other guests, first of all, welcome everyone to attend our press conference and answer reporters' questions, I hope that our answers can satisfy you in a while." Today, we have been in Shanghai for six days, during this time, we have participated in more than 10 various activities, and met many friends, to the hospitality of the people of Shanghai, very grateful, and we all know that yesterday our football team won the match with the English football team, at this time we would like to thank every guest who came yesterday, because they have always supported our football team, it can be said that we can win, and the support of the audience is inseparable. I believe you have a lot of questions for our football team, so today I have specially invited Mr. Wang Hailong, the coach of our football team, to answer questions about yesterday's game and our football team. Okay, now I will ask you questions, each newspaper, and each country can only ask one question, please cherish this opportunity to ask. ”

The first question to be asked was [Gezhi Xinbao], which is a newspaper that mainly reports on strange things overseas, although it has also reported some Western science and technology, but the content of hunting is still the majority, in 1898, this newspaper even reported on aliens, and is estimated to be the first news media in China to report on aliens.

The reporter said: "Yesterday, your soccer team defeated the British soccer team, and before that, you had also defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance on the battlefield many times. ”

Because it is related to football, so Wang Hailong came forward to answer, Wang Hailong said with a smile: "I don't approve of football and the country, the nation together, yesterday's game is indeed we won, but this is just an ordinary sports game, I hope you don't over-interpret, let alone say that we win to prove that Chinese are stronger than foreigners, we lose means that Chinese are worse than foreigners, every country, every nation has advantages and disadvantages, can not be generalized." We were able to win yesterday's game, in addition to the support of the current audience, but also because we usually train hard and use the correct technical and tactical results in the game, otherwise we will not win, if we can prove anything, I think it should be able to prove that the Chinese nation is not an inferior nation, what foreigners can do, the Chinese through their own efforts, will also be able to do. ”

After a pause, Wang Hailong said again: "As for the fact that we have defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance on the battlefield many times before, it is because the Eight-Nation Alliance is an aggressor and is unpopular, and we are defending our homeland, everyone knows that the People's Army is actually composed of Chinese natives, but they are fighting to defend their homeland and fight for justice, and they will naturally win." When it comes to science and technology, that is, what you call the art of applying things, ancient China's science and technology have always been ahead of the world, but in the past two or three hundred years, because we have closed off our own country, while other countries are forging ahead, so China has lagged behind other countries at the beginning, but this backwardness is not unchangeable. Our neighbor Japan is a good example, before the Meiji Restoration, it was not as good as China, but through self-reform, they learned the advanced systems and technologies of Western countries, and now they have come ahead of China, but as long as we Chinese efforts, coupled with the support of the government, I believe that China will catch up again and stand tall among the nations of the world. ”

After Wang Hailong finished speaking, there was a round of applause, Wang Hailong did not get carried away because of the victory achieved by the traverser before, boasted of himself, and at the same time faced up to China's backwardness and the advanced of other countries, and was full of confidence in China's future, saying that it was both objective and confident, and showed an open mind. Therefore, the reporter and others listened to it, and they were very respectful.

In fact, don't look at Wang Hailong's usual big grin, with a three-point ruffian, but on formal occasions, Wang Hailong can still show a well-educated and cultivated attitude and style, after all, Wang Hailong is a soldier who grew up in the new era.

The second is the Shanghai Times, a branch of the British newspaper The Times in Shanghai, which is an English-language newspaper whose main consumer group is foreigners in China, and the reporter's question is: "Tomorrow you will hold negotiations with other countries, so what kind of outcome do you hope to achieve in this negotiation?"

Qin Zheng said: "As for the principle of our participation in this negotiation, we have mentioned it many times before, and now I can repeat it again, that is, we must peacefully resolve China's war on the basis of equality, and safeguard China's national sovereignty, national interests, and territory, and we will never accept unequal treaties, thank you." ”

After Qin Zheng's answer ended, there was immediately another round of warm applause.

When the reporter heard this, he immediately asked, "So you won't accept compensation, right?"

Qin Zheng smiled: "I'm sorry, this is your second question, and it should be reported by the next reporter." ”

The crowd laughed, and the reporter sat down a little awkwardly, and then another English-language newspaper, the "Da Mei Evening News", asked the reporter's question, which followed the question of the "Shanghai Times", and said: "If this negotiation does not achieve the results you want, what measures will you take, and will you choose to continue the war?"

Qin Zheng said: "If this negotiation fails, we will use all means we see fit, thank you." ”

The reporter of the "Da Mei Evening News" was stunned for a moment and said, "All the means that you think are appropriate?

Qin Zheng said: "Although this is also the second question you raised, I can still reply, I am talking about using all means that we see fit, so you can use your own understanding to find the answer to the second question you raised." After a pause, he said: "Actually, the answer is still in my previous reply, and it does not mean that I answered the second question, so each newspaper and each country still only has one chance to ask questions, I hope you don't misunderstand." ”

Then came a question from a British reporter, and after a brief discussion by several reporters, one reporter stood up and said: "Previously, you forcibly occupied the concession area of Tianjin, the British concession Weihaiwei, and the German concession Qingdao by force, and it was rumored that you had a plan to attack Shanghai, so I would like to know if this negotiation fails and you choose to solve the problem by war, then will you restart the plan to attack Shanghai and implement it." ”
