Chapter 909: List of Questions from Journalists

"Since today is the first time I'm speaking at this press conference, as is customary, I would like to introduce myself so that I can interact with journalists in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Leng Feng explained that at such a press conference, the spokesperson's speech must be concise, straightforward, and easy to understand, and the most important thing is to say what he wants to say so that people can understand it.

And all unnecessary rhetoric must be discarded!

To put it simply, to speak in the vernacular.

Leng Feng hated biting the text and chewing the words very much, because he came from later generations, and he was very unaccustomed to the half-literate and half-white speech habits of the Republic of China.

In particular, half of them are foreign journalists, and Chinese may not be able to understand them all at once, and outsiders may not be able to understand them.

The ancient Chinese is even more difficult for simultaneous translation, once the translation is not in place, the literal translation, the words do not reach the meaning, and it is easier to make jokes.

Therefore, Leng Feng deliberately explained, no matter what policies he expounded or answered questions, he used all in the vernacular.

"I've already introduced my name, let's talk about my job title......"

Liang Dong's main position is the acting mayor of Xinxiang City, and he is also the chief of staff of the new 40th Brigade of the 202nd Division, the rank of colonel of the Syrian Army, which can be accompanied by the rank of major general, and he also serves as the secretary general and spokesman of the Northern Henan Agency.

The above content has already been obtained by the little girl who translated it at the same time, so there is no difficulty in translating it, and it is very smooth.

This opening remark, only a minute or two of work, quickly passed.

Let's get straight to the point.

"All of you journalists are very concerned about the results and decisions of the defense meeting held this morning by the Northern Henan Agency, and I can inform you here."

"The results or decisions reached at this morning's defense conference in northern Henan are mainly three points: First, how to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle in northern Henan in the next stage, the key point is to launch the struggle against Japan under the unified command of the Northern Henan Administration, effectively integrate all the anti-Japanese armed forces in northern Henan, twist them into a rope, and unite all forces to resist the aggression of Japanese imperialism."

Whether it is a Chinese reporter or a foreign reporter, they are all writing loudly below.

"The second point, the reorganization work, the next step of the Northern Henan Administration will be to integrate all the anti-Japanese armed forces in northern Henan, including the private security armed forces of landlords and wealthy merchants, to effectively control the guns owned by the people, and preliminarily decide to integrate these armed forces into four to eight garrison brigades to carry out regular militarized training to enhance combat effectiveness and serve as reserve soldiers."

"Third, the establishment of a joint defense and early warning system in villages and towns, this is aimed at the infiltration of Japanese plainclothes teams and spies, and this involves military secrets, so I will not talk about it here."

After the simultaneous translation was completed, Liang Dong continued to speak: "Okay, the following is the question time, we have ten questions, each question is three minutes, from all the journalist friends, select ten reporters to ask questions, five Chinese and foreign reporters, give you five minutes to prepare." ”

Five minutes later.

"In order to ensure the efficiency of the question, before asking the question, we first determine the list of people who ask the question, what do you think?"

"Mr. Liang Dong, are there only ten people?"

"Yes, there is a time limit for our press conference, and if there is no limit on the number of people and problems, I think I may have to solve it on this podium for dinner tonight."

"Haha......"

"Three minutes for a question, isn't that too short?" A reporter raised his hand and stood up and asked.

"Is that a problem?" Liang Dong asked with a smile.

The audience erupted in good-natured smiles again.

"In this way, today is my first time to hold this press conference, and I will add five additional questions to my journalist friends to give me this opportunity to exercise, how about it?" Liang Dong has completely entered the role of press spokesman.

"Ouye, Mr. Liang, you are really a gentleman!" Sophie, a reporter from the French Havas News Agency with curly brown hair, cheered happily on the spot.

"Thank you!" Liang Dong nodded with a smile.

The French are so frank and enthusiastic, especially those talking eyes, Liang Dong felt a trace of warmth in his face.

Chinese journalists are much more reserved, and although they are happy, they are relatively calm.

Liang Dong took the initiative to add five questions, and he was naturally very happy with the reporters in the audience, only fifteen of the 100 reporters asked about folk songs, and on average, only one person in six had a chance.

For example, reporters from Xinhua News Agency, Central News Agency, and TASS in Soviet Russia, and local reporters in Xinxiang should also be taken care of, which is five places, and then foreign reporters from the United States, France, Britain, and Germany each have one quota.

In fact, one of the original ten places was not in the plan.

Of course, this arrangement will not be said to the outside world, but will only be controlled by the staff when selected on the spot, and all the staff at today's press conference are members of the "Silver Fox" action team.

With the increase in slots comes the risk of asking uncontrollable or unanswerable questions.

But this temporary increase also shows a confident, open and transparent attitude of the Northern Henan Agency, which has won the favor of many Western journalists.

Westerners are more direct, like is like, dislike is not like, very direct, Easterners are relatively reserved, even if they dislike each other, they will nod and smile when they meet.

Therefore, when Westerners come to the East, the most difficult thing to distinguish is the good and dirty of Oriental people, they can't figure out why they shake hands and smile one second, but fight the next second, mercilessly, this style of painting is quite uncomfortable for them.

The open and direct approach of the New First Army and the Northern Henan Administration is not only novel, but also more frank and has won the appetite of Westerners.

Quite a few reporters came from the Japanese-occupied areas.

Naturally, the propaganda of the Japanese army's Leng Feng and the New First Army will not have anything good, but reporters are different from ordinary people, they will not easily believe what is said in the propaganda, they believe what they have seen with their own eyes.

Journalists are undoubtedly the smartest group of people, fifteen places, and they themselves quickly unite, their respective countries, or make good friends, to gather the questions they want, and then pick a few alternatives, and if someone asks the same question in front of them, then follow the order down.

This is undoubtedly a fairly efficient act.

Journalists are well-informed, and they often encounter this kind of thing, and their adaptability is always stronger than that of ordinary people.

It is permissible to play within the rules, as long as it does not violate fairness.

This kind of thing is always optimistic, and this phenomenon at least means that these reporters attach great importance to this groundbreaking press conference of the Northern Henan Agency, if they don't pay attention to it, everyone will not be so highly motivated.

After a five-minute break, Liang Dong went next door to see Leng Feng, although Leng Feng was not at the scene, he heard what was happening next door very clearly.

He was very satisfied with Liang Dong's speech and the temporary increase of five places.

Liang Dong is making rapid progress on the road to becoming a qualified "press spokesman".

Although Leng Feng has never done this job, he has never eaten pork, he has always seen pigs run, when his girlfriend Qin Hong entered the political arena, he did this, and he still has some experience.

"Later, don't be too restrained in answering questions, grasp the general direction, involve political issues, don't talk about struggle, only talk about joint resistance against Japan."

"I see, Junza, but I see that there is one of the reporters this time, what is going on?" Liang Dong asked strangely.

"Although the reporters are not soldiers, if we don't let them come, they will definitely try their best to spy on our news, in this case, many times it is not careful, in this case, it is better to expose them to the sun, and we can also monitor and observe, understand?"

"Would you like to ask them a question in a moment?"

"Of course, we're ceremonial sons, and if they want to make a fool of themselves, we can't stop them, can we?" Leng Feng smiled slightly, "Are you afraid that they will ask any questions that embarrass you?" ”

"Yes."

"Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the rules make us formulate, and we have the final say on how to play." Leng Feng smiled slightly and encouraged.

"With the sentence of the military seat, I am relieved."

"Don't have a burden, once you are born, you are second to cook, and when you are familiar with the rules of the game, it will be much easier." Leng Feng said, "The spokesperson, you haven't reached that level yet, so you don't have to worry about too many things." ”

To put it bluntly, the Northern Henan Administration is a local military and political organization, and there is also the Henan Provincial Government and the Headquarters of the Commander of the First Theater, and then there is the Wuhan side, the level is not high, even if he says something wrong, with his protection, no one can do anything to Liang Dong.

"After our selection, the list of fifteen reporters who asked questions has come out, let me read it below, and ask questions in this order later, and our Mayor Liang will answer your questions one by one!" After the staff communicated with the reporter again, they quickly compiled a list.

"The first reporter to ask a question is Mr. Shangguan Bo, a reporter from the Central Daily!"

A middle-aged reporter sitting in the front row showed a slight smile, and he was still satisfied with this result.

"The second reporter to ask a question is, a reporter from Xinxiang News, Miss Bai Ruping."

A Su Ya Li in a cheongsam had a look of excitement on her face, she didn't seem to expect that she would be in second place.

"The third reporter to ask a question is a reporter from the French news agency Havas, MRS: Miss Sophie."

This Sophie is the brown-haired young French journalist who was excited to praise Liang Dong as a "gentleman" just now, and she is very enthusiastic and unrestrained.

"The fourth reporter to ask a question is Ms. He Yun, a reporter from Xinhua Daily."

"The fifth reporter to ask a question is Ms. Wong Wei Ying, a reporter from Singapore's Sin Chew Daily!"

"The sixth reporter to ask the question was Ms. Murphy, an Associated Press reporter."

"7th place ......"

……

Until the eleventh reporter, it was actually a reporter from the "Shanghai News Agency", a Japanese named Hidaka, when the name was pronounced, many people at the scene opened their mouths in surprise. Bar.

The most amazing thing is that his application was approved and he was given a chance to ask questions.

Responsible, courageous!

The reporters' eyes were keen, and they felt that the person behind the battlefield press conference, the Chinese general who was rumored to be the "devil" within the Japanese army, was by no means a narrow-minded person, and his heart was by no means possessed by ordinary people.

In the propaganda of the newspapers in the Japanese-occupied areas, Leng Feng is almost a devil who does all kinds of evil, and narrow-mindedness is only a small accusation.

But now it seems that this accusation is a slander, which is really ridiculous.

Westerners already look down on Orientals, especially the Japanese themselves, and now they look down even more.

The reporter named "Hidaka" was also stunned, he didn't prepare any questions at all, on such an occasion, he could come in and listen, he was already very satisfied, who would have thought that it would be his turn to ask a question.

What question should he ask, a layer of white sweat instantly oozed from Hidaka's head, he can't make a fool of himself, here today, the reporters of the world's most famous news agencies are here.

Fortunately, in 11th place, there is still time.

"The fifteenth question is asked by Mr. Hu Yingkui, a reporter from Shanghai's "Declaration"!" (To be continued.) )
