Chapter 175: Public Opinion
"Brother Zheng, this trip to the mainland is really eye-opening for me, especially the military parade in front of Tiananmen Square, the square steps composed of the air force, navy, and army are really imposing, and there are all kinds of heavy weapons, it is too sharp, I didn't expect China to be so strong!"
On the second day of the celebration, Wang Zheng and the four of them arrived safely at Xiangjiang Kai Tak Airport, and until they walked out of the terminal, Liang Kun was still spitting about the military parade scene they saw yesterday.
At yesterday's military parade, salutes were ritualized over Tiananmen Square, and when the 80-year-old supreme leader stood on the Tianancheng Tower and shouted "Long live the People's Republic of China," the cheers of the people who came to watch the ceremony shook Chang'an Avenue for ten miles.
This National Day military parade is undoubtedly the largest, most up-to-date, and most mechanized since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It marks the beginning of a new era in the modernization of China's armed forces, and is also proof that China has entered the ranks of great powers.
Just when Wang Zheng and the four walked out of the airport with a smile, four foreigners in suits came to the exit of the airport, and when they passed by Wang Zheng and the four of them, one of the burly foreigners suddenly grabbed Wang Zheng's shoulders, and the remaining three foreigners also surrounded them, forming an encirclement trend.
Wang Zheng didn't have time to think about it, and in Guan Zhilin's scream, his backhand was an over-the-shoulder fall, and with a "bang", the foreigner who was caught off guard was slammed to the ground.
Liang Kun also reacted at this time, threw down the luggage in his hand, and slammed into the blonde foreigner who was the first to surround him, and was knocked out, and the golden foreigner retreated several steps, until he was supported by the companions who came later, and he was embarrassed to stabilize his body.
Wang Zheng stood in front of Guan Zhilin and Miss Lam, and was about to pose in the Wing Chun Bridge Hunting Hand pose, when he was suddenly pressed against his waist ribs by a pistol with a black hole, so that he had to stop his movements.
After one of the foreigners restrained Wang Zheng with a gun, he said in unfamiliar Cantonese: "Don't move, we are agents of Xiangjiang SB." ”
SB is the English abbreviation of the Political Department, Wang Zheng heard that several people from the Political Department, because the pistol against the waist and the sense of danger was swept away, he stopped Liang Kun who wanted to come forward to help, and smiled slightly at the foreigner next to him: "It turns out that a few police officers from the Political Department, if you want to invite me to the Political Department for tea, you don't need to make a surprise attack." ”
The foreigner who was thrown over Wang Zheng's shoulder took out an arrest warrant and snorted disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense, now that you are officially arrested in the name of espionage, you can remain silent, but every word you say will become evidence in court." ”
Hearing this old-fashioned line again, Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, turned to Guan Zhilin Wenyan, who had not yet reacted, and said: "Jiahui, don't worry, call Uncle Sixth directly, just say that my trip to the mainland has been arrested by the Xiangjiang police for espionage, let him quickly let the lawyer come over, I don't want to stay in it for twenty-four hours." ”
Guan Zhilin, who gradually reacted, held back his tears and nodded heavily at Wang Zheng's distant back.
The second time he sat in the police car, Wang Zheng did not have the slightest wave in his heart, he had a certain expectation of this arrest, the Minister of Culture is a senior official at the ministerial level, but he personally invited him, an unknown little foot, to participate in the military parade, which must have something strange that he did not know.
It wasn't until he spent 24 hours in the temporary detention cell of the Political Department, and never saw Shao Daheng's lawyer come to bail, that Wang Zheng realized that he might have been "used" this time.
Since the Sino-British joint claim was initialled in Yanjing in September, the sky over the island has been filled with all kinds of rumors, some say that the mainland will send heavily armed troops to Hong Kong, and some say that the economy of Hong Kong will be greatly reduced due to the return to the mainland.
This phenomenon has led to the beginning of immigration fever for many Xiangjiang citizens, housing prices have also begun to plummet, and the film box office market has also suffered a lot of impacts, and the box office of movies released since October has been dismal. Later, I learned that a grand military parade was held in Chinese mainland, which was supposed to promote the prosperity of national prestige, but in the end it was exaggerated by the pro-Western media in Xiangjiang as a threat theory in the mainland, which made many Xiangjiang citizens panic and did not know whether the return of Xiangjiang after 13 years was good or bad.
It is precisely because of this unfavorable public opinion in Xiangjiang that the Ministry of Culture temporarily decided to invite a well-known celebrity in Xiangjiang to participate in the military parade in Yanjing.
But as the old saying goes, the older a person is, the more timid he is, in order not to offend the British Xiangjiang government, the major celebrities and gentry find various reasons to decline the invitation of the Ministry of Culture, and those who are willing to come are too small to play a role in it, just when the Ministry of Culture is about to give up, Wang Zheng arrived in Yanjing the day before the parade.
It is only because of the true character of a hero that Wang Zheng's status in the hearts of young people in Xiangjiang is getting higher and higher, and he happens to be the person needed by the Ministry of Culture, which is why Zhang Xun has lobbyed.
On the day Wang Zheng was taken away by the Political Department, Zhang Junsheng, the new deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Heung Kong Branch, was working hard to write a book in the Xinhua Branch at No. 387 Queen's Road East in Wan Chai.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Junsheng picked up the written article and photos and walked out of the room, and instructed a young colleague outside: "Give these to Wen Wei Po and let them print and publish them tomorrow." ”
The young colleague picked up the article and the photo, and walked away quickly, leaving Zhang Junsheng alone and whispering: "Comrade Wang Zheng, you have been wronged this time." ”
The next day, Wen Wei Po published a report as scheduled, with the headline "Best Director Wang Zheng was taken away with a gun" in enlarged bold letters, which appeared on the front page, and was accompanied by a large photo at the time.
"When the best director Wang Zheng returned to Hong Kong yesterday, he was taken away at gunpoint by agents of the Political Department at Kai Tak Airport. On the way back to Xiangjiang, Wang Zheng encountered the 35th anniversary military parade in the mainland, and was invited by the mainland to stop and watch. For this reason, as soon as Wang Zheng returned to Xiangjiang, he was taken away at gunpoint by the Political Department in the name of espionage, and he has not yet been released. ”
Wen Wei Po reported the whole incident from a very objective point of view, and the article was accompanied by a receipt certificate from Zhejiang University. Although the report is very objective, the title is too eye-catching, and the popularity of "The True Color of Heroes" has not passed, and many young people in Xiangjiang who saw the newspaper began to spread the news around. The subsequent publication of the Ming Pao newspaper completely confirmed the news.
Ming Pao News: "The Shaw Foundation's charitable assistance to the mainland was a complete success, not only funded Zhejiang University and the Dunhuang Art Exhibition, but also the first personal donation of Xiangjiang to the mainland after the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”
As the most credible newspaper in Hong Kong, Ming Pao also has a large number of loyal readers. The incident was reported by two major newspapers and immediately aroused heated discussions among the people.
If the successive reports of Wen Wei Po and Ming Pao fail to ignite the anger of many Wang Zheng's fans, Oriental Daily, as the largest publication in Xiangjiang, will definitely ignite the fuse of this incident.
Oriental Daily: "Adhering to the news concept of seeking refinement, truth-seeking, and speed, this newspaper has made the following detailed information on various public opinions and many rumors that have been circulating in Xiangjiang recently. 1. Xiangjiang has been Chinese territory since ancient times, and it is only natural that it will return to China after 13 years, and after the return, Xiangjiang will be promised 50 years of autonomy. 2. The mainland has the right to station troops in Xiangjiang, which is a symbol of China's territory and a guarantee of Hong Kong's stability and prosperity, and the garrison will only be implemented after the return to China in 97, not at present. 3. In the absence of any evidence, when the best director Wang Zheng returned to Hong Kong, he was arrested by the Political Department on charges of espionage for more than 24 hours, and was not allowed bail or visitation, which seriously did not comply with the rights and interests of taxpayers. ”
