Chapter 231: Press Conference (continued)
After the Minister of the Propaganda Department of Ping'an County read the speech given to him by Wang Lei, a lady wearing glasses stood up under the stage: "County Magistrate Yu, hello! I'm a reporter for the Daily Progress. How are you sure that www.biquge.info plague is gone? With that, she sat down.
Yu Yang smiled and said: "It's not that I'm sure, but the doctors in the hospital and the experts in the arsenal have determined that under the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee, there have been no new cases in Ping'an County from the early morning of the 7th to the present, doesn't this mean that the plague has disappeared?" ”
After Yu Yang finished speaking, a male reporter stood up below: "County Magistrate Yu, may I ask if you have developed a medicine to deal with the new type of plague, does that mean that you fully understand the emergence of the new type of plague this time?" I wonder if you can tell us the details of this plague? ”
Yu Yang: "......"
Yu Yang came here completely at the request of Wang Lei, and he didn't know much about the sudden appearance of the plague a few days ago. When he first learned that the plague had appeared in Ping'an County, he had already prepared for the worst, but he did not expect that the plague would be eliminated in just one day. Only then did he fully understand what Zhao Gang had told him: This little madman can always create miracles!
Yu Yang didn't know what to say, but Wang Lei knew that after taking the microphone in front of Yu Yang, Wang Lei said: "I'll answer this question for County Magistrate Yu." The plague is a common type of pneumonic Yersinia pestis, and it has mutated, is extremely resistant and lethal, and ordinary drugs for the treatment of plague have now been proven ineffective. The incubation period of the plague was 10 to 20 hours, and 1 hour after the onset of the disease, chest pain, cough, and sputum production appeared, and the sputum quickly changed from a small amount to a large amount of bright red bloody sputum. Dyspnea and cyanosis worsen rapidly. Wet rales may be heard in the lungs, breath sounds are reduced, and signs are often disproportionate to symptoms. Those who are not rescued in time die of heart failure and shock within 1~2 days. Fortunately, the experts of our arsenal have a certain amount of research on the plague, and once discovered a special medicine for the treatment of the plague, and this crisis has turned around! ”
After Wang Lei finished speaking, a young gray-clothed male reporter stood up in the audience: "Director Wang, hello!" I am Zhou Fang, a reporter for the Sino-Soviet Daily. Just now, Minister Wu mentioned to you that there are biochemical experts in the Niujiazhuang Arsenal, does that mean that you have biological and chemical weapons? ”
Hearing the question from the reporter below, Wang Lei showed a smile, but this was all in Wang Lei's plan. Because of the first press conference, Wang Lei didn't know the bottom of his heart, so Wang Lei asked Zhang Hongying to get a few trusts among these reporters, and now this is a trust, hearing him ask according to his previous preparation questions, Wang Lei confidently read the draft he prepared: "Don't hide it from everyone here, our arsenal does have this kind of weapon, but the purpose of our research and development is not for war, but for prevention." China is a 5,000-year-old civilized and ceremonial gang, and we will strictly abide by the Geneva Conventions and will not easily use bacteriological weapons, but we will not rule out the use of bacteriological weapons when attacked by bacteriological weapons......"
Wang Lei sat in this book and read the draft prepared before. And in his mind, Bai Xue, who rarely had a thread to spare today, kept muttering: "Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I've seen a press conference and I want to ask for it, Wang Lei, you are really unprecedented." ”
Wang Lei finished reading the prepared draft and said in his mind: "Isn't there nothing I can do!" Besides, it's the first time I've done this thing, and you don't know that there are so many people with rhythm now, what if they take the press conference crooked? ”
As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, a beautiful female reporter stood up again: "Mr. Wang, you just said that you found a special medicine for the treatment of plague, is it convenient to reveal what kind of medicine it is?" ”
Seeing the beautiful reporter Wang Lei showing a bright smile: "This beautiful lady, this matter is originally the top secret of our arsenal, but for the sake of this beautiful lady, I will reluctantly tell you." Half a year ago, our experts from the arsenal discovered and extracted a kind of streptomycin that can successfully kill or inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Streptomyces, and after our clinical experiments, the effect is very good. Not long ago, we discovered that it was very effective in treating plague. ”
Wang Lei said that these are not lustful tricks, and the announcement of streptomycin is one of the purposes of this press conference. Bai Xue felt that someone must have discovered streptomycin now, but it was not announced to the outside world. Otherwise, why would the plague be so resistant to streptomycin this time, otherwise Bai Xue would not have spent a night researching a new antidote to the plague.
As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar. Tuberculosis is one of the most harmful infectious diseases to human beings, and after entering the 20th century, about 100 million people still died of tuberculosis, including famous writers such as Chekhov, Lawrence, and Lu Xun who died prematurely due to tuberculosis. Doctors around the world have tried many ways to treat tuberculosis, but none of them really worked, and suffering from tuberculosis means a death sentence. Even after Koch's discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882, the situation remained unchanged for a long time. Now that Wang Lei has released the discovery of a special drug for the treatment of tuberculosis in their arsenal, many people understand what this means at once.
The beautiful reporter who asked Wang Lei a question just now was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly replied, her eyes staring at Wang Lei tightly: "Mr. Wang, can your research be mass-produced now?" Her voice was a little nervous, and she knew what her problem meant.
Wang Lei nodded: "So far, we have found 4 strains that can be used to produce streptomycin on a large scale. ”
As soon as Wang Lei's words fell, the venue instantly quieted down. If Wang Lei's words just now mean that human tuberculosis can be cured, then now Wang Lei's words mean that the era of tuberculosis becoming an incurable disease is about to pass, and even some business-minded people have seen countless wealth!
At this time, a blonde foreign female reporter stood up in the audience, speaking a non-standard Chinese accent: "Mr. Wang Lei, I am a reporter of the New York Times in the United States, I have participated in your rocket head press conference, will you sell your streptomycin technology at the end of this press conference as before?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Lei covered his brows with one hand: "This young lady from the United States!" I think you may have misunderstood the meaning of the press conference, the purpose of our press conference today is just to tell all sectors of society about the outbreak of the epidemic in Ping'an County, and that we have perfectly resolved this crisis. Because we had heard some wild speculation from the people, we held this press conference. About streptomycin technology is just incidental, I hope this lady can understand, and I hope everyone can understand! ”
As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, another white man stood up below, and this time he spoke in French: "Mr. Wang! I'll pay 100 million francs for your streptomycin technology! ”
Yes, it's a buy technology.
In the following time, no matter what Wang Lei said, there were people who constantly sought investment from Wang Lei and even claimed on the spot that they wanted to buy Wang Lei's technology. If it hadn't been stopped by Yu Yang in the end, this press conference would probably have turned into an investment meeting!
After the initial confusion, the press conference was finally able to continue, and while some people's minds were no longer here, there were still some reporters who cared more about their news. Not long after the riots subsided, a male reporter stood up and said: "Mr. Wang, just now you said that the purpose of your development of biological and chemical weapons is to prevent it, if according to your statement, then can I guess that the plague in Ping'an County is man-made?" Have you figured out who did it? ”
Wang Lei is still in a state of blindfolding, he didn't expect these reporters to be quite rich, and he doesn't know if there are some people mixed in this group of reporters, or if the reporters of this era are so rich, hearing someone ask a question Wang Lei reacted after a while, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm sorry!" I'm a little distracted! It's hard to draw conclusions about the whole thing at this point, but we think there's a high probability of it being artificial. At present, the comrades of the newly established Public Security Bureau in Ping'an County are doing their best, and we have also found some evidence! ”
The male reporter who had just been questioned did not sit down, but continued to ask, "Can Mr. Wang reveal some details to us?" ”
Wang Lei shook his head: "I'm afraid this won't work, first, I don't have this right; The second is that the incident is under investigation and is still in the stage of secrecy! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" The male reporter sat back down.
When the male reporter sat back, a middle-aged male reporter in a black trench coat behind him stood up: "Mr. Wang, I am a reporter from Struggle Daily, I have reported on Mr. Wang several times, a few days ago I heard that the Kuomintang issued a notice within the party, declaring you a 'traitor', I don't know if it is true?" ”
Wang Lei showed a surprised expression: "I don't know where this reporter heard the news?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
Middle-aged male reporter: "But if there is no such thing, then why would the head of the independent regiment Zhao and the county magistrate Yu of Ping'an County jointly issue a clarification for you!" ”
Wang Lei suddenly realized: "Oh, this! This is because the Japanese want to frame me as their ally, so Commander Zhao and County Magistrate Yu will issue a joint statement for me. Today was supposed to be a press conference about the epidemic, and I shouldn't be talking about it here, but since someone is asking about it here, I'll clarify it. I have absolutely not been called a 'traitor' by the Nationalist Government, and as for where your news came from, I don't want to know and I don't bother to know. ”
After Wang Lei finished speaking, a male reporter stood up in the audience: "Wang Lei, I am a reporter from "Kanto Daily", I want to ask why you don't let me take pictures?" It's our right! ”
Wang Lei didn't look at him, but glanced at the crowd in the audience, and then said in an extremely disdainful tone: "Kanto Daily? I remember it was a newspaper office controlled by the Japanese!? When has your story been accurate? Originally, I didn't want to answer the Japanese question, but today I will tell you with great mercy! As for why I didn't let you take pictures, I just wanted to be quiet. The Japanese have a bounty of 500,000 yen for me, and the last time I went to Fengxiang County to see the bounty, I almost couldn't help but sell myself! But why do you want my picture? I saw last time that your Japanese artists are better than cameras, so you can ask them for them! And you'd better not talk, I'm allergic to Japan, and if you talk again, it will cause me allergies, I don't dare to guarantee what I will do, even if you are wearing a layer of Chinese skin, I can't guarantee it! ”
Hearing Wang Lei's words, this "Kanto Japan" sat down stupidly, and the murder of this disagreeable person on the stage spread in the Japanese press.
After he sat down, he stood up and another male reporter with a hat, he stood up and took off the hat on his head and said: "Director Wang, I am a reporter from the Central Evening News, just now you mentioned that you have been to Fengxiang County, I want to know that the Fengxiang Japanese Army Headquarters made a lot of trouble in Fengxiang County before, and the person who stripped off the Japanese army and hung up the Japanese army Yuichi Nagano is you, right?" ”
Wang Lei pretended to be serious with a straight face and said: "Yuichi Nagano is a good friend of our Ping'an County, how could we recapture Ping'an County without him!" I hope you don't talk nonsense! After speaking, Wang Lei said mysteriously: "But if you want a personal photo of Yuichi Nagano, I can sell you some at a fair price!" ”
……
The press conference was held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Wang Lei had prepared a Western-style dinner, but almost none of the reporters present had the heart to continue, some wanted the newspaper to provide tomorrow's headlines, some were busy reporting the situation here to the forces behind them, and some were ready to contact Wang Lei privately.
But no matter what, Wang Lei successfully became the headline of most newspapers in the country the next day, and even foreign newspapers reported on Wang Lei at length, if nothing else, for Wang Lei's streptomycin technology in the arsenal. However, all newspapers do not have a photo of Wang Lei, and some of them have a portrait of Wang Lei, which is provided by the Japanese. In some newspapers, Yuichi Nagano's **** appeared in some small reports, which were provided free of charge after Wang Lei came down.
The headquarters of the Japanese army in Fengxiang County, Yuichi Nagano looked at the several newspapers in front of him and took a sip of the wine in the cup. Just now, he received accusations from his superiors and the base camp, either asking him why he lost Ping'an County, or that he lost the face of the empire. Just when he didn't know what to do, his henchman Katsuhei Yamaguchi sent him a few newspapers, and that's when he realized what was happening. Even though he had received word a few days ago that the damn instructor was going to hold a press conference, he didn't take it to heart. But he didn't expect this damn instructor to slander him for fornicating with the Communist Party, and also gave his **** to these damn reporters, which is a naked humiliation to him! Thinking of this, Yukazu Nagano picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip of it! (To be continued.) )
