Chapter 171: Another Air Raid (II) No. 4 Supplement
Zhu Erdian probably didn't know that there was no one in this world, including the British, who knew better than Wang Mo the weakness and powerlessness of the so-called empire on which the sun never sets.
It is precisely because he clearly knows that the British are not capable of directly intervening in the situation in the Far East now and for a long time in the future, that Wang Mo's attitude will be so unscrupulous and tough!
But Zhu Erdian didn't know, or rather didn't understand, this, and the arrogance that he had cultivated over the years as the world's number one power was not so easy to change. Therefore, hearing Wang Mo's almost threatening words, his whole body was almost angry.
If it weren't for the fact that he still took care of maintaining the gentlemanly image of a diplomat of the British Empire, I am afraid that Zhu Erdian would have to spit on the spot and scold Wang Mo bloody.
Just when the atmosphere in the living room was tense, the new adjutant Chen Shishi pushed the door and walked in, leaned to Wang Mo's side and whispered: "Young master, a large number of reporters have come outside, including many foreign reporters, saying that they want to interview you. ”
"Take them to the big conference room, I happen to have something to say through these reporters." Wang Mo commanded, glanced coldly at Zhu Erdian, who was still so angry that his face turned pale, before leaving the living room.
The verbal threat is the most weak, and one day, he will let these British, who use China as noodles and knead them wantonly, see that all the rice flags rampaging in the Far East are thrown into the Pacific Ocean by the Chinese!
After leaving the living room, Wang Mo came to the large conference room.
As soon as he walked into the large conference room, Wang Mo heard the sound of "poof" and "poof" magnesium lights lighting one after another, and the dazzling magnesium light kept flashing.
"Young Marshal Wang, may I ask ......?"
"Commander Wang, I don't know ......"
"Mr. Wang, may I ask ......?"
A large group of Chinese and foreign reporters crowded towards Wang Mobee, and at the same time asked all kinds of questions, so that Wang Mo didn't hear what these people were asking at all.
However, before these Chinese and foreign reporters approached Wang Mo, they were blocked and isolated by the guards around Wang Mo.
Wang Mo came to the main seat of the large conference room and sat down, and then said, "Mr. reporters, don't worry. Every reporter here today has a chance to ask questions, and the order of the questions will be asked in the order of where you are sitting. ”
Most of these reporters are veteran reporters who have been in the industry for many years. Naturally, they understood this truth, so they all competed for the front position, and after a while, everyone sat down one after another.
"Young Marshal Wang, it is rumored that you were assassinated in Hankou, I don't know why you appeared in Shandong? May I ask if this was a secret military operation planned by the Sichuan army to seize Shandong. It was only because of the Battle of Qingdao that his whereabouts were suddenly exposed? The first Chinese reporter couldn't wait to stand up and ask.
Wang Mo smiled slightly and said, "This journalist's imagination is really rich. I was indeed seriously wounded in the Hankou assassination, but I was later rescued on the Yangtze River and brought to the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong. In addition, I can tell you with certainty that the establishment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance was completely accidental, and the Sichuan army never planned any military action to seize Shandong. ”
"Commander Wang, you led the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance to not only annihilate a 5,000-strong Japanese brigade in one fell swoop, but also dispatched a large-scale aircraft group to inflict heavy damage and expel the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy. The second person who stood up to ask a question was a blonde foreigner reporter.
Wang Mo said coldly: "The Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is a non-governmental organization. Even the Sichuan army was only a local army, and it was not qualified to declare war on any country on behalf of the Chinese government. Please pay attention when you speak, if this causes a full-scale war between China and Japan, can you afford to pay this responsibility? ”
Ignoring the fact that he only had one chance to ask questions, the foreigner reporter asked Wang Mo in a loud voice: "Since the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is not even qualified to declare war, then may I ask Commander Wang, don't you think it is an extremely wrong choice for you to lead the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to war against the British and Japanese Coalition Army?" ”
"We Chinese have a saying, 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'! Although the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is a non-governmental organization, it has never forgotten that it is Chinese. Since he is Chinese, he must safeguard China's territorial sovereignty. Even if it costs with your life! Wang Mo said with a resolute expression.
"Good!"
"Well said!"
"Commander Wang is doing well!"
The Chinese reporters present rose up to applaud Wang Mo's words, and many people even took pens to write down Wang Mo's words.
The foreign reporter was a little angry, and wanted to say something, but Wang Mo took the lead in blocking it. "Again, everyone only has one chance to ask a question, next!" ”
"Commander Wang, I would like to ask a question that the vast majority of Chinese compatriots are very concerned about. Although the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army has achieved great victories in previous combat operations, the current Anglo-Japanese Coalition Army in Shandong has as many as 45,000 troops, while the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army has only 20,000 people. Is Commander Wang sure that he will defeat the Anglo-Japanese forces and successfully recover Qingdao? ”
"Of course, I have absolute confidence that I will be able to defeat the so-called Anglo-Japanese forces! Therefore, here, I borrow the pen in your hands to advise the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces to withdraw from Shandong as soon as possible, otherwise our Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army will use the guns in their hands to defend the land to the death! Wang Mo clenched his fist with his right hand, as if swearing an oath.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
Thunderous applause rang out, and all the Chinese reporters applauded Wang Mo's words with high spirits, wishing that their hands were smashed to express their excitement.
However, in such an atmosphere, a discordant voice questioned Wang Mo: "What does Commander Wang mean by this, is he going to issue an ultimatum to the allied forces of the Japanese Empire and the British Empire?" ”
Without looking at people, Wang Mo knew that this was what a Japanese reporter said.
Following the voice and shifting his gaze, Wang Mo saw a short Japanese reporter looking at him with hostility in his eyes.
"That's right, you can think of this as an ultimatum! If the Anglo-Japanese coalition forces do not withdraw from Shandong within 24 hours, then our Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army will take the initiative to launch a full-scale attack! Wang Mo said with a very tough attitude.
"Hmph, I hope that in a few days, when your so-called Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is defeated and annihilated by the powerful army of our Great Japanese Empire, you will still be as arrogant as now!" After the Japanese reporter finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.
After the Japanese reporter left, the reporter's questions continued.
"Young Marshal Wang, I don't know if you know that the Li Liejun Department of the Kuomintang is currently storming Hubei? What do you think about this, and are you worried that the KMT will succeed in taking Hubei by force? The question was asked by an unfamiliar Chinese reporter who was not very familiar to many of the reporters present.
Wang Mo nodded slightly, hearing this question, he knew that this reporter was secretly arranged by the Secret Service Department, in order to bring out the topic of the KMT's attack on Hubei.
In fact, not only this reporter, but also at the behest of Wang Mo, at the beginning of the acquisition of the KMT's intention to send troops to seize Hubei, the Secret Service Department sent a large number of special service personnel to major cities across the country to secretly guide and promote public opinion, in order to finally remove the righteous name that the KMT had put on its head all day and completely knock the KMT into the abyss.
Sure enough, when they heard that the Kuomintang took advantage of Wang Mo's absence in Hubei to brazenly send troops to attack Hubei, the Chinese reporters present looked a little unhappy and were very disdainful of the KMT's behavior of stabbing in the back.
Wang Mo's face also sank, and he said with some anger: "The Li Liejun Department of the Kuomintang is storming Hubei, so I naturally know it. If it was in the past, it would be nothing, and it would be a big deal to see the truth under his hands, but now the Kuomintang has sent troops to storm Hubei, but it has cut off the channel for the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to obtain personnel and material replenishment from Hubei and Sichuan, resulting in the preparation of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army now is extremely difficult, and it is not possible to launch a full-scale attack on the British and Japanese allied forces for a long time.
I would like to ask the Kuomintang princes, do you have to do this kind of thing at this time?
Here, I solemnly declare that whoever or any force influences or hinders our Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army and the Anglo-Japanese Combined Army from fighting is our enemy! ”
"The Kuomintang stabbed in the back at this time, which is really too much!"
"Hindering the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army from fighting for the country is an indirect traitor!"
"Bastard, when you go back, you must expose the ugly deeds of the Kuomintang in the newspaper!"
"That's right, we must fiercely criticize and condemn the behavior of the Kuomintang in the newspapers for disregarding the interests of the country and stabbing in the back for the sake of power and profit!"
……
The Chinese reporters present were excited, especially the younger ones, who did not hide their disdain for the KMT.
The indignation that can arouse these people has basically achieved Wang Mo's goal, and there are also some newspapers and periodicals bribed by personnel placed by the Secret Service Department throughout the country to promote public opinion.
I believe that after today, it is not a problem to form a huge wave of criticism and condemnation of the Kuomintang throughout the country, and this can be regarded as Wang Mo's large-scale air raid against the Kuomintang in public opinion.
In the following reporters' questions, Wang Mo briefly answered some questions about the situation of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army and the news that the Anglo-Japanese Allied Army was about to launch an offensive, and finally ended the press conference's question and answer session amid the questions of a group of Chinese and foreign reporters.
After these reporters sent their news back to their respective newspapers, it was quickly published on the front pages of the newspapers.
Foreign reporters are basically concerned about Wang Mo's identity, the strength of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, and the impact that Shandong's battle may have on the changes in the power structure of the Far East.
Chinese reporters were very different, almost unanimously criticizing the KMT's act of sending troops to attack Hubei in disregard of national interests.
As for the people all over the country, when they learned that the commander of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, which was fighting desperately to safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty, was Wang Mo, the major marshal of the Sichuan Army and former governor of Hubei, they were all extremely angry at the KMT's stabbing in the back by sending troops to Hubei.
This tremendous wave of criticism and condemnation of the Kuomintang swept across the country with such speed that it caught the Kuomintang officials by complete surprise.
As if overnight, the Kuomintang Party, which has always held high the banner of democracy and republicanism and serving the country and the people, has been swept into the ranks of indirect traitors, and is almost drowned by the saliva of the people of the whole country. (To be continued.) )
