Chapter 382: Do You Feel Guilty?
According to Prime Minister Yang Qiuxing and Intelligence Chief Tu Xiaohua, Wang Yi should immediately return to Ningdao to ensure safety in case of a new attack. However, Wang Yi only snorted coldly after hearing this, and then ordered to go to Shengjing Hospital to visit the citizens and guards injured in the attack, and then he would personally meet with the families of the victims and give state compensation. Although no one wants to see such a thing happen in Shengjing City, as far as the government is concerned, failing to prevent it from happening is a dereliction of duty, so it is reasonable to compensate the state.
At the same time, this also shows Wang Yi's tough attitude, and those close to him know that he has lost his temper at this time. So Shen Yazhi and Tong Qianjia, who called one after another, did not persuade him again, but just said that they would make peace with him in Shengjing.
As the top decision-maker in the Northeast Autonomous Region, Wang Yi naturally cannot be a cowardly person. It's just that he hasn't appeared in public much in recent years, and people have limited knowledge of him. However, if you look back at the actions of the early days of the establishment of the Northeast, most of those who dared to underestimate him have become dead people.
After coming out of Shengjing Hospital, Wang Yi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Baihua Palace accompanied by Yang Qiuxing.
In front of the small podium in the press conference hall was a wooden lectern with the flags of the Qing Dynasty and the autonomous region, as well as microphones. The rows of seats are now full, and reporters from all walks of life on more than 100 seats in the conference hall are eagerly waiting for Wang Yi to appear.
At the front of the seat sat an old man in his fifties, wearing glasses, with thin cheeks, very energetic. At this time, he held a black notebook in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. The pen is recording something on it. He is the ace reporter of Northeast Daily, Wang Ziqi, a native of Guangdong, and a returned overseas Chinese. He has been working as a journalist in Europe for 30 years, and later moved to Singapore because of his work. Ten years ago, he resigned from his position at the British newspaper The Star and resolutely returned to the Northeast to join the newly established Northeast Daily. At present, he is a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Northeast journalism industry, and in addition to being a reporter, he also teaches at Northeast Communication University.
Directly behind him sat a middle-aged man in his forties, very steady and bookish. Wang Yi had seen him and was impressed. Because his name is Liu Guangdi, one of the six gentlemen of Wuxu in later generations. Originally, he was an official in the Qing court, but later the Qing-French War disappointed him, so he resigned and came to the Northeast. Now he is a reporter for the Globe and Mail, and he is also very experienced in the Northeast.
The arrival of Wang Yi changed the fate of many people, and even if there was another change in the Qing court, the six gentlemen would become the five gentlemen.
Seeing the main points of Wang Ziqi's visit after recording it, Liu Guangdi leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to come here in person today." I heard that you have been transferred to the deputy editor-in-chief, and this errand work is not left to young people. ”
In the Northeast press circles for so many years, although the two have their own newspapers and different positions, they are also friends when they look down and don't see each other.
Wang Ziqi smiled slightly and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you said, our autonomous region has been established for a short time, although Mr. Wang Yi has established a modern education system, but the cultivation of talents needs time to be carved, which is not urgent." Now while my old bones are still running, glowing a little light, discharging heat, it can also lay a good foundation for future generations, right? ”
Liu Guangdi smiled and said, "Your old qualifications are placed, and that is a living signboard." It's definitely not a little bit of light and heat discharge, you look at the seat you have here now, it's all fixed. All the colleagues are crazy to grab the seat, but your seat is empty, and no one dares to come up and sit down. ”
"At that time, the love of your peers."
The two politely spoke for a while, and Liu Guangdi began to ask today's question.
"What does my brother think about today's incident?"
Wang Ziqi sighed and said: "Under normal circumstances, this press conference should be presided over by the spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office, even if Premier Yang comes forward, we can all understand." However, on weekdays, Chairman Wang Yi, who sees the head and the tail of the dragon, appears in person to say the word, which is a bit unusual. ”
Wang Yi's chairmanship refers to the chairman of the Political Council.
"I wonder who was behind this attack?" Liu Guangdi was a little worried, although he resigned from the Qing court, after all, he still regarded the Qing court as orthodox in his heart. When he came to the Northeast, he may not have no intention of doing united front work.
Wang Ziqi looked at him and smiled, a little intriguing.
Different from the conservative and clear stance of the Globe and Mail, the Northeast Daily advertises fairness and benefit to the people, as for whether it can really be done, it is natural that the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.
Just as the two were about to speak, the press officer of the Prime Minister's Office walked in, stood in front of the podium, cleared his throat, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this press conference, and now I would like to invite Mr. Wang Yi, chairman of the Political Council of the Autonomous Region, to the stage. ”
Speaking of which, Wang Yi is definitely the youngest in this conference hall, but his status is the highest. Everyone gave a standing ovation, and Wang Yi walked in, smiling and waving frequently. He was followed by his premier Yang Qiuxing, the new chairman of the autonomous regional people's congress Zhang Quande, and the director of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau Tu Xiaohua.
After a moment of silence in memory of the victims, the press conference officially began. Wang Ziqi looked at Wang Yi carefully, he really hadn't seen Wang Yi himself. Although he knew that the supreme power of the autonomous region was not very old, he was still shocked by his youth. What's even more incredible is that according to the current age, when Wang Yi founded the Northeast Autonomous Region, he was just a child. The gang that followed him really dared to do it!
"Yesterday's terrorist attack not only claimed the lives of many of our brave men, but also, more tragically, caused a large number of innocent civilian casualties." Wang Yiyu said with grief: "This is the strictest violation and the strictest provocation of our autonomous region, and we will resolutely and without hesitation to fight back!" Use the blood of the enemy to soothe the souls of those who are wronged. We will not tolerate it, this is my Wang Yi's oath, and it is also the commitment of our Northeast Autonomous Region government! ”
"Now it's free to ask questions." After seeing Wang Yi's gesture, the press officer presided.
According to convention, the first person to ask questions was Wang Ziqi, who was the oldest in qualifications.
"Sir, I would like to ask. Before the press conference, I heard that you went to Shengjing Hospital to visit the victims of this terrorist attack, what are the specific casualties? What is the current status of the investigation into the attack? ”
This is the main concern of all the journalists present.
"According to the number I have at hand, a total of twelve people were killed in this attack, including ten soldiers and two civilians. Thirty-five were wounded, eight were soldiers, and twenty-seven were civilians, four of whom were badly wounded. As for the current progress of the case, it is still under investigation. ”
The reporters asked questions one after another, and when it was Liu Guangdi's turn, he stood up. At this time, the audience fell silent, because everyone understood that there were actually only a few families that would assassinate Wang Yi, and the Qing court with a criminal record was naturally the most suspicious. The pro-Qing stance of the Globe and Mail made people particularly curious about Liu Guangdi's question.
"Sir, I would venture to ask, no matter who is behind this attack and who is behind it, but the main target of the attack is you. So do you feel guilty in the face of the soldiers and civilians who have been wounded and killed for you today? ”
