Chapter 518: Jiangbei Press Conference (3)

At seven o'clock in the evening of April 20, 1912, eight hours later than originally expected, the Jiangbei government officially held its first government-level press conference, also known as a press conference. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Journalists were allowed to enter the venue after a series of checks, including physical checks, equipment checks and luggage checks. Specified blank paper and pens were provided, and the cameras were disassembled and inspected, but the process was completed during the eight-hour break, but fortunately there was no damage to some valuable equipment. The reporters later learned that in fact, the camera was not damaged in any way, and the Chinese thought of a special way to identify whether there was a murder weapon in the camera, that is, using the characteristics of the dog's abnormal sense of smell, they starved some dogs for a day, and then slightly applied gunpowder or saltpeter to the food, guiding the dogs to eat these gunpowder-smelling food. After several trainings, the canine's sense of smell was used to identify the murder weapon in everyone's luggage, but fortunately, no one, including the Japanese journalist, had a murder weapon.

The chairs in the venue are large and upholstered, and sitting on them reminds you of sleeping, and next to each chair is a small table with water and some snacks and banknotes. When the reporters walked in, they felt a kind of respect that they had never felt before, yes, respect for the reporters, and they (the Chinese) even provided handkerchiefs.

"Oh my God, the Chinese really put their hearts into it." Calle Maxwell exaggerated.

"I think this is the most comfortable press conference I've ever attended." Ratlier White lay down in his chair as he spoke, took a typical bite, and said in astonishment: "Taste it, my friend, Kahler, it is very sweet and tastes very special." I think after the press conference, I'm going to take some back, what is this made of? There's something incredible about China's typology, you know? I've heard that the Chinese are as good at making food as you French. ”

Calle Maxwell immediately retorted: "I think there is a deliberate attempt to belittle noble French cuisine, and the best cuisine in the world must be French cuisine." ”

"Alright, alright, I have no intention of arguing with you, have you thought about anything? My friend, let's not ask the same questions. Ratlier White said busily.

Calle Maxwell said: "The question of the Gengzi reparations, I want to ask the question of the Gengzi reparations. ”

"Damn! Luckily we communicated a bit because I was going to ask this question as well. "But luckily I've got another question in store." ”

"What is it? About the war? Calle Maxwell asked.

Ratlier White shook his head and said, "No, it's a question of whether the local government of Jiangbei recognizes a series of agreements between China and Britain. ”

After a while, a young man walked out, and then said to everyone in fluent English: "First of all, welcome reporters to Jiangbei, I am the chief news translation officer of the Jiangbei government, my name is Mei Gongwang, and then I will translate for you to General Wang Yongan, commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Road Navy, and at the same time, I will also translate General Wang's words into English." I am a Javanese Chinese who knows Portuguese, English and French, and because I have lived in the British colony for a long time, I am more proficient in English, so I hope you will ask questions in English as much as possible. I also know Japanese, but I don't have much contact time, so if a Japanese reporter asks a question, please speak it a little more slowly. Then he spoke again in Japanese, which aroused everyone's praise, I didn't expect this young young man to be so knowledgeable and talented, Jiangbei talents are just a lot, but I didn't expect that talents from all over the world came to Jiangbei, including this talent who knows five Chinese languages.

Mei Gongwang said: "Compared with everyone who knows, each reporter attending the meeting today only has one chance to ask a question, and can only ask one question, I hope everyone can comply with the requirements." If you have no objections, I will invite today's press spokesman, General Jiangbei Wang Yongan Wang, to answer reporters' questions. ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one was meaningful, after all, there were too many fellow journalists, this time there were not only foreign journalists but also Chinese journalists, there were forty-seven people in total, and one question for each person was forty-seven questions, and these questions were enough for everyone to use the material, and there was no need to cause any trouble. Seeing that there was no opposition or objection from everyone, Mei Gongwang walked to a microphone on the side and sat on the side.

At the same time, the door of another room was opened, and a young soldier wearing a green military uniform and a black Penny hat walked out, this person was about 1.72 meters tall, with a thin figure, narrow and bright eyes, a calm expression, a pair of black boots under his feet, and a clattering sound when he walked on the steps, which was heard by more than 40 reporters in the entire venue.

This person is the king of Jiangbei, Yunshuai Wang Yongan.

I saw Wang Yongan walk to the rostrum, first tried the volume, and then said: "Welcome to all reporters, I have looked at the list of participants in advance, there are reporters from the Americas, there are reporters from Europe, there are reporters from Asia, there are reporters from China, you can attend today's press conference, on behalf of the Jiangbei Government I would like to express my heartfelt welcome." I hope that everyone in today's press conference can get the answers they want, but it may not be the most favorite, but it is the most real answer. Well, before I answer the first reporter's question, I have a statement that I hope you will be able to take note of. ”

Reporters have taken out pen and paper for shorthand, there is no portable gramophone to record in this era, reporters all rely on shorthand to record interviews, and the shorthand method has been used until the nineties, it is said that in the eighties Chinese reporters must take a shorthand exam, and even shorthand has a grade certificate, until the popularity of the gramophone made shorthand out of history.

Wang Yongan said loudly: "Today, on behalf of the Jiangbei government, I announce to reporters from various countries that the Jiangbei government is a part of China, and at this stage, although the Qing Empire, the Republic of China, and the local government of Jiangbei are side by side, China's internal contradictions are about to be resolved, and the Jiangbei government will definitely not be independent of China, and the Jiangbei government is willing to give up part of its power for the sake of China's reunification." At the same time, with regard to the agreements signed between the Qing government and other countries, the Jiangbei government will follow China's choice, we are not a rogue country, we recognize history, and we also recognize all the reasonable and unreasonable treaties signed by the regimes that existed in the land of China in history, so if you ask whether the Jiangbei government recognizes all the treaties signed between the Qing government and foreign governments, the Jiangbei government will answer that it is, yes, we admit it, and we will never repay the debt. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Wang Yongan's words suddenly blocked many people's mouths, Ratlier White and Caleb Maxwell looked at each other, and they didn't even know what they should ask next.
