Chapter 776: Aftermath Press Conference
After a minute, everyone slowly raised their heads. Although the scene was constantly ringing, it was not as chaotic as before.
"I will then answer some questions on behalf of our government and our country. Before answering your questions, I would like to state that I will not answer any questions concerning military secrets. Now, please ask questions in an orderly manner. The minister said.
A reporter in the front row was the first to be given the right to ask questions, and the question she asked was also what many reporters wanted to ask, and it was a focus of attention all over the world.
"Mr. Minister, after the terrorist attack, the top leadership of Huaxia has ordered that Huaxia has officially entered a state of first-level combat readiness, does this mean that Huaxia has already declared war on terrorists? If the plot of this terrorist attack is a terrorist organization from abroad, will Huaxia send troops abroad to fight terrorism like other countries? ”
Everyone waited silently, waiting for the minister's answer.
The minister nodded slightly, indicating that the question could be answered.
"Terrorism is the common enemy of the peoples of the world, and their atrocities are heinous and disturbing. This is an absolutely unforgivable event in which our country has been attacked in this way. Now that our country has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, it is to protect the safety of its own people, which is the duty and obligation that our government and army should fulfill, and we will absolutely not let similar tragedies happen again.
As for whether our country will send troops abroad to fight terrorism, I can only answer now that we have never sat idly by and ignored terrorism, and we will give them a counterattack. ”
The minister's voice fell, and someone immediately continued to ask questions.
"Mr. Minister, this time Huaxia has suffered such an attack, will Huaxia form an anti-terrorist alliance with other countries?"
"Our country has always adhered to the policy of non-alignment, non-gang and factional international exchanges. However, with regard to terrorism, we have always emphasized the mutual cooperation of all countries in the world. Terrorism has always existed and has brought constant suffering to the people of the world. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate. We will never condone the ravages of terrorism, and we will naturally join forces with other countries to fight it. But this is a strategic cooperation, not an alliance in the conventional sense. ”
Some people began to ask questions bustlingly, each asking their own questions, and they all wanted their questions to be answered. However, as I said before, the minister had no way to answer them when they asked such random questions.
Under the stop of the on-site guards, they slowly stopped asking random questions one after another.
"Mr. Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the Minister of the Cabinet of Gariben, who was visiting China, was killed in this terrorist attack. Regarding this accident, many people abroad believe that it proves that China's security is problematic and that it is completely incapable of protecting the leaders of various countries. I would like to ask whether this incident will have a direct impact on the visit of important figures from other countries to China in the future. A foreign correspondent asked.
The minister did not answer the question immediately, but thought for a moment. The impact of this incident is indeed very bad, and he had heard about those different voices abroad before holding this meeting, and it was not surprising that some people would ask such questions at this question and answer meeting.
"The assassination of leaders is a common occurrence in international history. In our country, however, there has never been an assassination of an important leader. I am deeply saddened by the murder of Gariben's vizier this time. However, this must not be attributed solely to the inadequate security measures in our country. There are many factors in this that have not yet been investigated. I can't answer that question directly right now. As soon as there is a new investigation development, we will naturally announce it to the outside world as soon as possible.
What I want to say is that we will not bow down to terrorism, and the catastrophe they have inflicted on us, and the command has strengthened our resolve to fight them to the end. I don't think the world's leaders will be too scared by terrorists to go out.
Colleagues, we also have enough ability to protect the people and leaders of our own country, and protect anyone who comes to China. ”
If the minister's answer was on an ordinary small occasion, or if it was an ordinary person's answer, the reporters might have expressed their dissatisfaction on the spot, but now his answer has more encouraging elements in it, so no one questioned it.
After all, the details of the killing of Gariben's minister have not yet been released, and whether he was killed by terrorists or not is not yet known.
"Mr. Minister, Gariben's Minister was killed in this incident, and Garyben is very concerned about this matter. Their government and much of the mainstream media have condemned terrorism. However, there are also some media and people who have a different view on this, and in their opinion, Minister Yamamoto has always been pro-Huaxia. This time, he came to visit Huaxia and signed a series of contracts with Huaxia, with a total amount of 100 billion yuan.
Because of some historical problems, Garyben and Huaxia have been in a state of inability to completely solve many problems. Many Huaxia personnel are dissatisfied with the huge contract that Huaxia has always signed with Gariben, and similarly, there are a number of such people in Gariben.
This time, Minister Yamamoto was killed, and some people pointed out that the killing of the minister was not caused by a terrorist attack at all, but a tragedy directed and staged by someone in Huaxia, who had been planning to arrive and produce the goods of Garibon. This time, Minister Yamamoto signed a huge contract, which pierced their hearts even more.
Therefore, the murder of Minister Yamamoto this time may be an assassination by some people in Huaxia. What do you think about this issue, the Huaxia government, or Mr. Minister? ”
Before the reporter finished asking, there was quite a commotion at the scene. Those who were watching the live broadcast, many people couldn't help but slap the table and scold their mothers, saying that this reporter really didn't know what to do, how could he ask such a question.
Let's not mention that this is the malicious remark of some anti-Chinese people in Gariben. No matter how the minister answers his question, it will be hyped up abroad at that time, and this will bring huge trouble to the country's diplomacy.
Many people directly scolded the reporter for being blown out.
When the minister heard this, he didn't see any other expression on his face, and he was still as serious as ever. It's just that it's getting a little more serious now.
"At a time when the world is condemning this terrorist attack and mourning the victims, I am deeply saddened to hear such heretical voices.
I believe that at the same time, everyone has changed their conviction that this is just the malicious remarks of some ill-intentioned heretics, who are venting their dissatisfaction and at the same time trying to undermine the beautiful friendship between the two peoples.
It's just that their humble and inferior methods only attract more scolding. I believe that no one with a righteous heart, a little conscience, and a sense of responsibility would say such a thing.
As everyone knows, Minister Yamamoto is very popular in our country, and his death is a loss to the people of Canada and China and to the people of the world. He has been contributing to world peace and economic prosperity.
Let's ask, how can people in our country have the idea of hurting him? For those with bad intentions, I hope they can pay attention to their words and deeds, deeply reflect on their inappropriate words and deeds, and not do such things that break people's hearts and undermine the friendship between Canada and China. ”
As soon as the minister's words fell, the scene burst into applause. In this speech, he not only answered the reporters' questions, but also forcefully refuted the bad words and deeds, and even affirmed Minister Yamamoto.
More importantly, he said these words in a very calm tone, calm but not lacking in passion, it is really not easy to do this step, and there should be applause here.
"In this terrorist attack, there were dozens of impulsive terrorists, and at the same time, they also used a lot of cars, bombs, and snipers to obstruct the police rescue. They are very familiar with the topography of the square, and this is not something that can be done overnight.
They made such a big move, but Huaxia's intelligence department didn't know anything about it, and many people questioned that Huaxia's intelligence department was useless. What do you think, Mr. Minister, on this issue? ”
The minister said: "As the minister of national security, I have an unshirkable responsibility for such a terrorist attack. Here, I apologize to the victims with the most sincere heart.
However, it is completely nonsense to say that our intelligence department is a non-existent unit. Terrorists will attack L.A., and we've had information about that for a long time. Moreover, there are more security personnel on the scene than ever before, to prevent terrorist attacks from happening.
However, many factors are mixed together, and this terrorist attack still happened. We do have an inescapable responsibility, but that does not mean that our intelligence services are in vain.
They were supposed to send more people, but before the crime, we secretly arrested a lot of people. ”
The reporter continued to ask: "Some people broke the news to the media, saying that before the terrorist attack, someone told the police that there would be a terrorist attack. Why did the police not pay attention to this at all, or even turn a deaf ear? ”
"Your question is wrong. After receiving the news, some police officers immediately responded to the information to their superiors, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and our relevant departments naturally attached great importance to it and began to evacuate the crowd in an orderly manner.
However, there were too many people participating in the carnival, and before they could be completely evacuated, tragedy happened. The minister said.
"A police officer who did not want to be named told the media that when the police carried out the rescue, they were blocked by snipers, but then those snipers were magically killed.
"A person with a sense of justice and a nemesis of terrorists." The minister said quietly.
The expression of the reporter who asked the question changed, and what he wanted to ask was not at all, but the minister had already answered, and it was very reasonable, and he could only give up the question, because the right to ask questions had fallen into the hands of other reporters.
"Mr. Minister, a police officer revealed that after the rescue team arranged the rescue operation, a woman suddenly broke into the command car, and she provided clues to the commander of the rescue team, saying that the terrorists wanted to pretend to be police and ambulance personnel to enter the scene and take away the people to continue to kill.
Later, the police also arrested all these impersonators, may I ask, is that woman from the Huaxia Intelligence Agency? Can you tell us a little bit about her? ”
"This is a personal issue of her privacy and security, which I am unable to answer right now," the minister said. You can think of her as a lone ranger, or as someone else. But one thing is certain, she is a hero who saved many Chinese people. ”
