Chapter 152: Press Conference! declare war
On the top floor of Nanning's government office building, a press conference center has been opened.
Early in the morning, journalists from all the world's mainstream media gather here. All because they all received an invitation from China last night, and Chen Shao, as the supreme leader of China, will hold a press conference at 8 o'clock this morning.
This is the first time Chen Shao has taken the initiative to be interviewed by reporters, and this time also coincides with the breakdown of Sino-British negotiations. Obviously, Chen Shao's move has focused the attention of the media on him. Everyone was curious about what the young Eastern leader was going to say today. Do you really want to open a station with the UK? The war with Japan was announced on the radio, and according to what they knew about Chen Shao, if there was a war with Britain, it would be enough to announce it directly on the radio. Doing this now is not like Chen Shao's previous style, which is really puzzling to them.
Chen Shao's move was successful, and the curiosity of all reporters was aroused.
For this press conference, Chen Shao also prepared for a period of time, and he planned to stand in the foreground completely in the future, China needs him, and the nation needs him.
At eight o'clock, Chen Shao appeared in front of the reporters on time.
If it was a few years ago, when Chen Shao had not planned to go to the altar, none of them had seen Chen Shao. Now the streets are full of portraits and photos of Chen Shao, so as soon as Chen Shao came out, all the reporters recognized Chen Shao. The cameras that have been set up are just bursting with a bang. At the same time, several cameras arranged in the reception also began to record, recording the entire press conference from four angles in an all-round way. In Chen Shao's eyes, today's press conference is a good publicity.
"Before I ask any questions, I would like to say a few words.
At the beginning of our time in the southwest, our Chinese Provisional Government did not recognize the large number of unequal treaties that various countries had previously forced to sign in China by relying on barbarism. The reason why Hong Kong was not taken back immediately was because it wanted to take it back by more moderate means. Originally, our provisional government did not intend to take back Hong Kong so soon, but what is happening now makes it impossible for us to continue to endure it. The arrogant British government relied on guns and artillery to open our country, forcibly occupy our Hong Kong, and then seized a large amount of land and forcibly set up some so-called concessions. But there is no rent at all, what is the difference between it and forcible seizure.
Yesterday's negotiations were even more deceitful, and a mere £1.5 million was going to lease Hong Kong, what is this, charity? No matter how poor and backward China is, we will not care about the so-called 1.5 million pounds. Imagine if we also go to England to rent a few hundred square kilometers of land, and the rent we give is the same as you say in England, 1.5 million pounds a year.
Originally, we were full of sincerity, and our diplomats were also very serious about this matter, but we did not expect that this would be the result in the end. I'm disappointed that the UK still haven't recognized their place.
Our nation is a nation of many hardships and difficulties, and the Chinese Government is precisely to save this nation from its destruction, and we dare to say no to any great power, and we dare to use force against any Chinese enemy. We must defend this ancient country with our own flesh and blood, 'those who offend my Chinese heavenly might, although far away, will be punished', this sentence will be defended by our good sons and daughters of China with blood. As soon as Chen Shao started the press conference, he made an iron-blooded declaration.
Chen Shao's words have been lingering in the minds of all reporters for a long time, and as a reporter stationed in China, he is very familiar with the Chinese language. Chen Shao was speaking words, but these reporters heard them clearly.
"President Chen, I am a reporter from the American Post, and I would like to ask you a question, does what you said just now mean that China is going to declare war on the British side?"
"This question will be answered at the end of the press conference." Chen Shaodao.
"Chairman Chen, I am a reporter from The Times in the United Kingdom, and I dare not agree with what you just said, because you are not sincere and ask for too high a price. We in the UK have been developing in Hong Kong for several years and have invested a lot of money in building Hong Kong. And 1.5 million pounds a year is already a lot, and it is definitely not an insult to the Chinese side. May I ask if China did not want to negotiate at all and deliberately forced the negotiations to break down? ”
"Before answering this question, let me ask you a few questions. Whose land has Hong Kong been since ancient times? Who forced us to sign the Treaty of Nanjing? Who says lease Hong Kong without paying a penny? And as I just said, if we also lease a piece of land in the UK, would the other party want it? Chen Shao said.
"It's impossible!" When the Times reporter heard Chen Shao's last question, he blurted out.
"That's it, if you don't want it, we will. Is this what you Western people talk about equality and freedom? Dressed as a gentleman, he does the work of a barbarian. Chen Shao said.
"Chairman Chen, you are slandering us Western countries." The British journalist cried out.
"Whether it's slander or not, everyone knows it in their hearts. I hope that from today onwards, the whole world will remember this sentence of mine: 'Some of my future actions are learning from the so-called Western civilization!' 'Your actions are the best behavior I can do in the future' teacher.' Chen Shao said.
The British reporter didn't ask any more questions, he was still reminiscing about what Chen Shao said just now, not only him, but many people were reminiscing.
"Chairman, I am the reporter who declared, and although I am here today and am very concerned about the Hong Kong issue, I believe that our military will definitely not let the people down. What I want to ask today is how you plan to govern China in the future. Focusing on the military or people's livelihood. ”
"This question is very pertinent, and in the future, people's livelihood and military will go hand in hand. In the next 10 years, the development of people's livelihood will be the focus, but the military will not let go either. This world is a world of the jungle, and without its own national defense strength, how can we talk about building people's livelihood. Chen Shao said.
"Chairman, do you have any standards for people's livelihood?"
"I've said it many times. The old are supported, the few are educated, and everyone has no worries about food and clothing, housing and transportation. Say goodbye to famine, poverty, cold. Restore self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-improvement. This is the Chinese in my heart, the spiritual outlook that our nation should have. Although this sentence is very simple to say, it requires the joint efforts of the general public, and I, Chen Shao, will also devote 12 points of energy to achieve this goal. Chen Shao said.
"I believe in the determination of the President, in our nation, and we can do it. I have one last question, will China be an electoral system or an imperial system in the future? After listening to Chen Shao's words, the reporter who declared was very excited, and he trembled a little when he spoke. At this time, he was not only excited, but basically all the Chinese reporters were very excited.
The issue of declaring journalists is an issue that all journalists are concerned about, and foreign countries are also concerned about this issue.
"In response to this problem, our interim government has launched a private investigation, and the survey data will be released after the investigation. No matter what the system, it will come according to the will of the people. Chen Shao said.
"President Chen, I am a German journalist, and first of all, I would like to congratulate your country on its achievements in military affairs and in dealing with regional affairs. I also very much hope that your people's livelihood construction will achieve greater results. I would like to ask you a question about how President Chen thinks about the next construction cooperation with Germany. ”
"First of all, the cooperation between China and Germany in the construction of people's livelihood is an important step in China's future construction cooperation with foreign countries, we attach great importance to the cooperation between the two countries in economic and trade and people's livelihood construction, and also hope that the cooperation between the two countries can continue for a long time, and the two countries can complement each other. Chen Shaodao.
……
After all the reporters asked, Chen Shao did not announce the end of the press conference.
Several staff members in the background took out a large number of photos and sent them to all the reporters one by one.
After all the reporters got the photos, Chen Shao spoke:
"This is what our scouts took the risk to photograph, and there are a lot of things recorded in it, and I believe you have the answer to why this Hong Kong negotiation broke down. If I don't understand, I can explain where the soldiers in the photos were taken.
Just before the British negotiator Winston Churchill arrived in Hong Kong, we spotted troops gathering on the Sino-Vietnamese border at the Sino-Vietnamese border outpost. Our scouts took these pictures. At the time, I was still wondering why British negotiator Winston Churchill was so slow, three or four days later than normal. When I saw these photos, it dawned on me. On the very day Churchill arrived in Hong Kong, about ten divisions of British and French troops gathered on the Sino-Vietnamese border, as well as a heavy artillery division and an ominous number of aircraft.
Let me ask you, if the British side is sincere in negotiating with us, why would it mobilize a full 200,000 troops to our borders? Why was Churchill deliberately slow?
Now it seems that any negotiations, this is all a trick of the British side, trying to make a noise.
At this time, I also understand why the British side insisted on leasing Hong Kong at such a low price in the negotiations, and all this was a conspiracy of the British side. They also want to repeat the barbarism of the past, intending to wage another criminal war against our country. The breakdown of the negotiations is only a pretext for war.
As the supreme leader of the Provisional Government of China, I cannot tolerate this kind of thing happening again on the land of China.
Britain and France were embarrassed and waited for each other. Although China is backward, our soldiers will never be afraid.
We swear with our blood that we will absolutely reject the enemy from the country, and the situation of a few decades ago will never happen again.
From now on, in the name of the supreme commander of the Chinese People's Army, I will order that the People's Army be officially changed to the National Defense Force.
I hope that our Chinese National Defense Force will always stand on the borders of the motherland like the Great Wall of Steel, defend our country, keep the enemy out of the country, and intimidate the enemy.
In order to counter the banditry of Britain and France, in order to better protect the people.
I declare in my capacity as the Supreme Leader of the Provisional Government of China and the Supreme Commander of the Chinese National Defense Forces.
From now on, China will enter a state of war with Britain and France, and will not be suspended until death. The military equipment that had been intended to be sold to Britain and France was mothballed until the end of the war. ”
