Another reporter was allowed to stand up and ask a question, "Your Excellency, I am the British journalist Raul, as far as I know, in addition to the northern and western Xinjiang regions, your military currently controls Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, Asia Minor and the Balkan Peninsula. ”

That's a sharp question, and it's a completely unsparing question! The hundreds of reporters in the audience immediately closed their mouths one by one, and the press conference immediately became silent now.

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said: "This reporter friend is too worried, this is not something you should worry about!" But I can answer you this question, and the regions you just mentioned in Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, Asia Minor, and the Balkans now have legitimate governments. After the outbreak of the war, Britain and France transferred the sovereignty of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh, Burma, Malaya and other places to our country in order to obtain the support and dispatch of troops to our country, and our country did not enslave the local peoples because of this, but allowed them to establish their own regime, they voluntarily joined our Great China Federation, except for diplomacy and garrisons. They enjoy a high degree of autonomy.

Then there was the Arabian Peninsula, which was occupied by the Ottoman Empire of the Central Powers, and the power of Britain and France was driven away, but it was our Chinese army that defeated the Ottoman army, allowing the locals to regain their freedom and establish their own state. Now that the area is stabilizing, our troops are slowly withdrawing. Only a small number of troops were retained at the lend-lease military bases.

It had been ruled by the Ottoman Empire before, and our army defeated the Ottoman army. Now the locals have established several countries, including Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and many more, some of which are republics and some are constitutional monarchies!

After the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire, now that the Republic of Turkey has been established, they have taken over the power of the Ottoman Empire, and several countries in the Balkans have their own regimes and armies, and we have no ambition to include those regions in our territory! Not only that, but we prefer to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with the countries in the above regions for a long time! ”

After Xiao Zhenlei answered this question. The reporters in the audience all raised their hands again, and another foreign reporter was allowed by Yang Yongtai to stand up and ask questions.

This turned out to be a black journalist, he was in his thirties, wearing a white suit, "Dear reporter, I am New York Times reporter Letterman, may I ask Your Excellency, as far as I know, places such as North Korea and Vietnam have historically been the territory of your country. Generations of dynasties in your country have established local administrations in these two regions, why do you allow these two regions to maintain state status and allow them to govern themselves, but for the northern and western regions. Why should your government send officials to establish local administrations under the direct rule of your government? Why do you need to be treated differently? ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "This reporter's question is very good, and I will give you an answer." When we took over Vietnam, Korea, Laos and Cambodia from Britain, France and Japan. In all of these regions, there were still former regimes, although they no longer had any real power during the Anglo-French-Japanese rule. Just puppet governments, but they do exist. We cannot erase or ignore their existence, we have always respected the wishes of the local people, and we believe that the continued presence of these regimes is sufficient to maintain the stability of the local social order. The northern Xinjiang region and the western Xinjiang region are completely different, Mobei Province, Modong Province and Far Eastern Province have been the Japanese invasion army strategy before, and the local previous Tsarist regime has been completely destroyed, while in Kipchak Province and Western Xinjiang, according to our survey, the vast majority of the people are not willing to be ruled by Tsarist Russia or Soviet Russia, they hope to be under the rule of our country's regime, these are the conclusions reached by the Chinese government sent people to do public opinion surveys, plus the Soviet Russian authorities will return most of the northern and western Xinjiang areas, Selling a small part of the territory to our country, our government considered it necessary to have direct jurisdiction, and the local Tsarist regime had long since collapsed, and it was no longer possible to establish government institutions! So the two are completely different."

Finally, a Chinese reporter was allowed by Yang Yongtai to stand up and ask questions, this is a young man wearing a long shirt, glasses, and short hair, he said: "Honorable President, I am Liang Xia, a reporter from the People's Daily, as far as I know. Whether it is a name for a person or a place, it is not taken randomly, may I ask the president, the government has divided northern Xinjiang and western Xinjiang into four and five names with special Chinese charm respectively, what is the meaning or origin of this? ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "Of course, these names have a history, first of all, Kipchak Province, during the Mongol Empire, the territory of China's Yuan Dynasty was the largest in history, and its westernmost khanate was the Kipchak Khanate, west of the Yenisei River, the most northwestern place and even to the Baltic Sea, for convenience and smoothness, and in order to be consistent with the Chinese place names, so we named it Kipchak Province." Speaking of Mobei and Modong Province, in the past, we collectively called the area north of the Great Wall Mobei, but the ancients at that time rarely reached the place further north, because the farther north the weather, the colder, they did not know that there was a vast land north of Mongolia, and now Mongolia is the territory of our country, in order to distinguish Mongolia from the places to the north, we will call the east of the Yenisei River, the west of the Lena River, and the north of Mongolia Mobei, the area east of the Lena River as Modong, and the area south of the Outer Khingan Mountains as Far Eastern Province. These names are relatively easy to remember and easy to pronounce, and they also have some historical origins.

Speaking of the Western Xinjiang region, during the Tang Dynasty, most of Central Asia was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty of our country, and the imperial court at that time later set up the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, the Dawan Metropolitan Governorate, the Western Liao Metropolitan Governorate, the Kangju Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Yueshi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Tiaozhi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Beiting Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in the northern region of Kazakhstan today, the Dawan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in the Uzbek region, the Western Liao Prefecture is in the Kyrgyz region, and the Kangju Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in the eastern region of Uzbekistan. The Yueshi Governorate was located in the eastern part of Turkmenistan, and the Tiaochi Governorate was located in the central region of present-day Afghanistan."

In fact, Xiao Zhenlei said that these geographical locations have many places that cannot be studied, and there are even historical records, which cannot be studied deeply, once studied deeply, it can prove that Xiao Zhenlei said many mistakes, but who cares about these at this time, and there are almost no foreigners who have a deep study of Chinese history, of course, those historians in China will not be full and have nothing to do to expose him, that is purely to find trouble for themselves, and now the people of the whole country are eager to open up the territory, and jumping out at this time can only be to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.

There is no Western Liao Governor's Mansion under the Anxi Protectorate, the Western Liao is a matter after the Song Dynasty, the Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, the remnants were withdrawn to the west, and then they were driven away by the Mongols, so there was the Western Liao, south of the Green Ridge, now the Kyrgyzstan region.

Another Western reporter was allowed by Yang Yongtai to stand up and ask, "Your Excellency the President, I am the French journalist Lexava, since your country has set up administrative organs in the northern and western Xinjiang regions to exercise power, does it mean that your country will withdraw its troops on a large scale in the above two regions?" In addition, as far as I know, at present your country and some other countries are vigorously supporting General Kolchak in Russia, which does not seem to be in line with your country's interests, because once General Kolchak takes power in Russia, the agreement signed between Soviet Russia and your country will no longer be valid, does this not contradict what your country has done? Could it be that even the Russian Provisional Government, established by General Kolchak, recognized the legitimacy of your country's substantive occupation of the northern and western regions? ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a sip of water and said: "This gentleman, I first want to correct your wording, we do not have a substantial occupation of the northern Xinjiang region and the western Xinjiang region, this wording is wrong, most of the northern Xinjiang region and the western Xinjiang region are the inherent territory of our country, on this point, both the current Soviet Russian authorities and the Russian provisional government of General Kolchak have expressed their agreement, and the consensus on this matter between our government and the two of them has been reached a long time ago. As for the small number of other areas that were sold to our country by the Soviet Russian authorities, of course it is impossible to sell two of the goods, and it is impossible for us to buy the same piece of land from different people, since the Soviet Russian authorities have already taken the money, then the northern and western Xinjiang regions are the territory of our country, and this is a fact that no one can change.

As for the first question, the number of troops in the northern and western Xinjiang regions of our country itself is not large, and as for the specific number of troops, this is a military secret, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it here. ”

Another reporter was allowed to stand up and ask, "Your Excellency, as far as I know, your country does not have a political base in the northern and western Xinjiang regions. This group of officials and administrative staff is not a small number! ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Of course, it is impossible to send all of them by the center, the center only dispatches provincial officials and some senior administrators, officials and administrative staff from other government departments, some are selected from the veteran officers and soldiers of the local garrison, the other part is recruited from the local enlightened gentlemen and celebrities, and some of the personnel of the law enforcement agencies are sent by the center, the other branch is selected from the local garrison, and some are recruited from the locals!"
