Chapter 453 Press Release (2)

The question-and-answer session is a favorite of every reporter attending the press conference of the East China government, because the spokesmen of the East China government often answer questions with either sharp words or witty words, which can provide a lot of material for the news media.

A reporter said: "Is it true that you have released this video?" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately caused a lot of laughter, and some people looked at each other angrily, and the reporter was also a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't question the authenticity of this video, but to say that such a thing is still happening in Jingran, which is really unbelievable." ”

Li Songchen said with a smile: "We have an old saying in China, called 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', everyone has just watched the film, whether it is true or false can be judged by yourself, as for what this reporter said, I can't believe that such an anti-human thing can happen in civilization, to be honest, I couldn't believe it when I first received this news, so I can only say that kind people are always willing to believe that this world is as beautiful as they hope." ”

Another reporter said: "So what is the purpose of publishing this video? Do you hope that other countries will support you, boycott Japan, or even sanction Japan, and force Japan to stop the war and withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula?"

Li Songchen said: "The purpose of our film is to tell the world what is happening in China's Liaodong region! As everyone knows, the Liaodong Peninsula is China's inherent territory, but now Japan and Russia are fighting a war on China's territory, causing a large number of Chinese civilians to suffer heavy harm in this war. The cause of this war in Liaodong was that Russia invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces of China during the Gengzi Revolution, and after the Gengzi Revolution, it refused to fulfill the signed [Treaty on the Delivery of the Three Eastern Provinces] and still occupied the three eastern provinces, while Japan launched this battlefield in the name of containing Russia's expansion and maintaining peace in the Far East, and also deceived many people, we just want to expose Japan's lies. Tell the world that this is a war of aggression and that both Russia and Japan are aggressors. As for the support of all countries in the world, if it is really friendly support, we will certainly welcome it, but if it is an additional political condition, we will not accept it if we are asked to cede our national interests, and we also believe that we can do it by our own strength alone. ”

Another reporter said: "Does your army have any measures to retaliate for the brutal acts committed by the Japanese army in Liaodong, and will it retaliate against the Japanese expatriates in Liaodong in the same way." ”

Li Songchen said: "There will definitely be retaliation, but we will never use the same measures as the Japanese army, and if the Japanese expatriates in Liaodong can respect our laws and regulations, we will protect their personal safety and legitimate rights and interests, although this can be assured." Our retaliation will be carried out in a dignified manner on the battlefield, and we will completely defeat the enemy on the battlefield and let them know that China is not easy to bully, and I think this is the best revenge. ”

Another reporter said: "So far, the object of your army's combat has always been the Japanese army, so what is your attitude towards the Russian army." ”

Li Songchen said: "Our attitude is consistent, that is, the Russian army must respect the [Treaty on the Delivery of the Three Eastern Provinces] and withdraw from the three eastern provinces as agreed, without attaching any conditions, otherwise we will regard the Russian army as an aggressor like the Japanese army." ”

At this time, a reporter said: "Mr. Li, please forgive me for saying that the current legitimate government of China is still the Qing State, and you can only be regarded as an autonomous territory under the rule of the Qing State, not a completely independent political entity, and you are not qualified to represent China, and the Qing State has declared neutrality at the beginning of the war and demarcated the war zones between the two sides, so we can be regarded as the Qing government has recognized Japan, The fact that Russia is at war in Liaodong, and that you are proposing to send troops to fight in the name of recovering Chinese territory, has no legal basis from a legal point of view. ”

Li Songchen said: "Whether it is a government or a dynasty, it is not immutable. Whether a government is legitimate or not does not depend on the time and tradition of its existence, but on whether its existence is in the interests of the people of the country and whether it is supported by the majority of the people of the country, otherwise the government will fall and the dynasty will be replaced, and there are countless examples of this in Europe, including China. And can a government that allows foreign countries to wage wars on its own territory and also declares neutrality serve the interests of its own people? The war between Japan and Russia began in February last year, and we have communicated with the Qing government many times, hoping that the Qing government will take the lead in recruiting the whole country to resist the aggression of Japan and Russia and recover the country. We sent troops to the war when the Qing government did nothing, and we wanted to safeguard the interests of the Chinese nation as a whole, not the interests of a particular dynasty. ”

Another reporter said: "If you can successfully defeat the Japanese and Russian armies this time and recover the territory of the three northeastern provinces, do you plan to return these territories to the Qing government, or do you plan to take them for yourself?" ”

Li Songchen said: "It's a bit too early to talk about the post-war issues, but if someone asks about it, then I will respond briefly." As I said just now, everything we do is premised on safeguarding the overall interests of the Chinese nation, not on safeguarding the interests of a particular dynasty. ”

Li Songchen answered more than a dozen questions in a row, and after almost every question was answered, he received a round of applause, and the reporters also quickly recorded these questions and answers in their notebooks, and the news materials for the next few days were available.

Only a few Japanese reporters were restless in the meeting, because most of Li Songchen's answers would point the finger at Japan and pin all the big hats of ferocity, brutality, barbarism, anti-humanity, and loss of moral bottom line on Japan's head. At the beginning, the Japanese reporters were only embarrassed and embarrassed, but after listening to it, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry, and several people discussed a few words in private and decided to challenge Li Songchen.

A Japanese reporter said: "Mr. Li, I have doubts about the authenticity of this film, because there are many places where it can be seen that the film was shot in a very close place, and if it was on the battlefield, how could it be shot at such a close place? I wonder if Mr. Li can explain." ”

In fact, Li Songchen also deliberately aimed at Japan just now, just to provoke Japanese reporters to argue with him, because of course, the effect of one person acting is much worse than that of two people. Of course, I can explain that as you have just seen from the film, this war took place in a city, with many houses and buildings, and our photographer hid in a room near the battlefield to shoot these pictures, of course, this is also a very risky action, but in order to publicize the atrocities of the Japanese army, our photographer still risked his life to shoot these pictures. ”

The audience immediately burst into warm applause, and there was a humanitarian: "The photographer is good." Someone else scolded: "Little Japan is not the thing." ”

The faces of several Japanese reporters became very ugly, and another Japanese reporter did not raise his hand to ask questions, but stood up with a "whew" and said: " We Japan launched the war in order to stop Russia's aggression against the Qing country, and it was completely to help the Qing country, and it was also recognized by the Qing government, you are not a legitimate government, and you are not qualified to accuse Japan at all, and this time you did not respect the principles of international law and did not declare war, and launched a sneak attack while the Japanese fleet and the Russian fleet were fighting, which is a despicable and shameless act, so it is you who should be blamed. ”

Immediately, another Japanese reporter said: "Yes, if you had not entered the war, or had you entered the war with despicable acts of undeclared war, how could we Japan have done such a thing? ”

Before he could finish his words, he caused a chorus of scolding from the Chinese present, and Li Songchen waited for him to finish before he said: "I have already answered the question of the nature of this battlefield and the legitimacy of our East China Government just now, so I will not repeat it here, and the question of not declaring war is not what Japan is best at? In the Sino-Japanese War 10 years ago, this time Japan and Russia were in war, didn't Japan always go to war without declaring it? Therefore, we are just treating others in the way of others. And it is even more ridiculous to blame the cause of this incident on us, any means can be used on the battlefield, whether it is above board, whether it is a conspiracy or a trick, as long as it is against the army, we blame ourselves for not being proficient in learning and training, but do not involve innocent civilians, and use civilians as military shields, I don't think that country will do such a thing. I know that there is a bushido spirit in Japan, and the Japanese usually refer to it as the chivalry of Europe, so is it the spirit of bushido to keep civilians in front of the army?"

And a few Japanese reporters were red-faced and couldn't answer at all.

Then Li Songchen said: "I also have a question for these Japanese reporters here, as journalists, will you publish this news in Japanese newspapers?"

When the Japanese reporters heard this, they all looked at each other, and no one could speak, because they knew in their hearts that it would never be possible for such news to be published in Japanese newspapers, but they could not tell lies in front of everyone.

The Chinese who were originally present were angry with Japan, and when they saw that the Japanese reporters were lazy and indiscriminate, they were even more angry, and then suddenly someone shouted: "Babastard, kill these little Japan." ”

Someone immediately responded: "Yes, yes, shoot them, kill them." Soon the whole venue responded.

Several Japanese reporters were suddenly frightened.
