When Britain, France, the United States and Germany on the Western Front of the European battlefield were fighting upside down and blood flowed like a river, China was jubilant.

On 28 July, Xiao Zhenlei personally held a news conference at the Beijing Grand Council Hall, which not only invited reporters from dozens of domestic news newspapers to attend, but also reporters from some well-known newspapers and magazines in various countries, and the total number of reporters attending the news conference reached more than 300 people, some of whom had cameras on their chests, and some of them sat on chairs in the press conference hall of the main council hall with pens and notebooks.

Rows of chairs are neatly arranged, like the chairs of a drama theater, and there are a few aisles in the middle for people to walk around, but all the reporters with cameras are arranged in the back, which is not to block the view of the reporters in front of them, but also to facilitate taking pictures.

At the front of the hall is a podium, with a red carpet on the floor, a table in the middle of the front of the stage, a stack of manuscripts on the table, and the words "Press Conference of the President's Office" written on the wall behind it, all in an extremely atmospheric, solemn and solemn manner.

At nine o'clock, the press conference officially began, Yang Yongtai, director of the presidential chamber of waiting, wore a straight Chinese stand-up collar and walked up to the host seat next to the press conference and said into the microphone: "Welcome all journalists and friends from the press to participate in today's press conference, now the press conference officially begins, please Mr. Xiao Zhenlei, President of our country, announce the main content of the press conference!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei strode to the stage in a specially designed Chinese uniform, and stood behind a table in the middle of the podium, on which the manuscript had already been placed. He looked down, and then said to the hundreds of reporters in the audience: "Friends from the press. Hello everyone! Welcome to all of you today, this is the second time that I have officially made an announcement to journalists from the press.

First of all. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to announce that from now on, the Ural Mountains and the entire Siberian region east of the Ural Mountains, west of the Bering Strait and the Pacific Ocean, north of Mongolia, south of the Arctic Ocean, including many large and small islands in the Arctic Ocean, as well as the Central Asian region north of Afghanistan, Iran, and east of the Caspian Sea will be designated as China's territory! ”

As soon as Xiao Zhenlei's words fell, hundreds of reporters from the press circles in the audience were in an uproar, and then someone stood up and prepared to ask questions.

All the reporters attending the meeting realized that something big had happened, something absolutely going to happen, and the news released by the Office of the President of China this time was only afraid that it would shock the whole world, and this was definitely a shocking news, and as a journalist in the press industry, he was proud to report the news with such influence. All the journalists were very excited.

Yang Yongtai, the host of the press conference, immediately said: "Quiet, quiet, reporters and friends, please be quiet, don't be impatient, now has not entered the reporter's question session, His Excellency the President still has news to announce, after His Excellency the President has announced all the news, I will announce the entry into the reporter's question session in accordance with the process!" ”

The venue of the press conference gradually quieted down, and the reporters all cheered up their spirits, pricked up their ears and polished their eyes to look at Xiao Zhenlei on the stage. lest I hear even a word wrong.

After the voice of the venue was completely quiet, Xiao Zhenlei continued: "Secondly, the Chinese government has officially renamed the Siberian region as the Northern Xinjiang region, and the Central Asia region as the Western Xinjiang region. Again. The northern Xinjiang region was divided into four provinces: first, the Ural Mountains and the area east of the Ural Mountains and west of the Yenisei River were designated as Kipchak Province; Second, the east of the Yenisei River, the west of the Lena River, and the north of Mongolia are designated as Mobei Province; Third. The area east of the Lena River, north of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, west of the Bering Strait, the islands of the Arctic Ocean, and south of the Arctic Ocean will be designated as Modong Province; Fourth, the area south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains and east of the Ussuri River was designated as the Far Eastern Province. At last. The western Xinjiang region was divided into five provinces: the Kazakh region was designated as Anxi Province; The Uzbek region is designated as Dawan Province, and the Kyrgyz region is designated as Xiliao Province. The Turkmen region is designated as Yueshi Province, and the Tajik region is designated as Kangju Province! In the next three months, China's cabinet government, the Supervisory Yuan, the Supreme Court, and the central organs of the military will successively send officials and administrative staff to the above areas to establish administrative institutions and offices at all levels. ”

After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he turned around and walked off the press platform, Yang Yongtai immediately said: "Okay, fellow reporters, the main content of this press conference has been announced, and it is about to enter the reporter's questioning session, I will first announce the rules for asking questions, each person is only allowed to ask one question, and the content of the question is only allowed to be related to this press conference, please do not raise irrelevant questions, otherwise we will not answer, if someone has asked a question in front, please do not ask similar questions in the back, so as not to delay time, I can't wait until the reporter who raised his hand to stand up and ask a question, but now I ask you to wait a moment while our staff will rearrange it."

At this time, the reporters were talking about the stage, and the staff removed the small table in the middle of the stage, and raised three long tables to be placed in a row to face the reporters in the audience, and a chair was placed behind each table, and a crystal ashtray, lighter, and a pack of cigarettes that had been opened were placed on the middle table.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Du and Liang Qichao walked up the stage from the left and right sides of the press table, and then sat down behind the two side tables, leaving a place in the middle.

After two minutes, Xiao Zhenlei walked onto the press stage again, sat down in the middle position, and said to Yang Du beside him: "Let's start!" ”

Yang Du nodded to Yang Yongtai, and Yang Yongtai said loudly: "Now enter the reporter's question session!" Okay, the male reporter in the gray checkered suit in the middle! ”

A Western journalist in his thirties put down his raised hand and stood up and said: "Your Excellency the President, I am Hans, a reporter from the Australian Broadcasting Newspaper, may I ask Your Excellency, Your Excellency just announced that Siberia and Central Asia will be designated as your country's territory, but as far as I know, these two regions are the territory of Russia, is this not aggression?" Moreover, your government has made such a big announcement to the whole world, even if other countries will not have any objections, but the current Soviet and Russian authorities will certainly not turn a blind eye, I wonder how His Excellency the President will explain this? ”

"This question will be answered by Mr. Yang Du, the head of my staff group!" Xiao Zhenlei nodded to Yang Du as he spoke, then picked up the cigarette case and lighter on the table and lit a cigarette and smoked.

Yang Du picked up a text from the table and opened it to the reporters in the audience and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is the agreement signed on August 16, 1915 between Mr. Vladimi, then the leader of the Russian Revolutionary Party and the current head of the Soviet Russian authorities, and China on the return and transfer of the northern and western Xinjiang regions. On the other hand, His Excellency the Führer Vladimi, on behalf of his party and the people of all Russia, agreed to return most of Siberia and Central Asia to our country, and to sell a small part of Siberia and Central Asia to our country for 18 million Chinese dollars, so now all sovereignty over the northern and western regions belongs to our country, which is legal and reasonable, and this is not only a declared agreement, but also a transaction, and I think that the people of the whole world, no matter how high or low their status is, must abide by the spirit of the contract! ”

After Yang Du finished answering the question, he put away the text version and put it back in the box, and the reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands.

Yang Yongtai pointed to a foreign journalist in his twenties wearing a white shirt and said, "This reporter, please ask questions."

The young foreign reporter stood up and said to Xiao Zhenlei: "Your Excellency, I am Washington Post reporter Forte, may I ask Your Excellency, in my opinion, this agreement signed by Mr. Vladimi of the Soviet Russian authorities does not have legitimacy and reasonableness, this agreement was signed in 1915, when Russia was still Tsarist Russia, and His Majesty Emperor Nicholas II was in power, and Mr. Vladimi was only the head of the Russian Revolutionary Party at that time, and for Tsarist Russia, he was just a rebel, There is absolutely no right to sign such an agreement! And the person who has the right to sign this agreement must be the tsarist minister approved by His Majesty Emperor Nicholas II, I wonder what His Excellency the President has to explain about this? ”

When Xiao Zhenlei heard this, he said: "This question is explained to this reporter by my staff and Mr. Liang Qichao, Speaker of the Left House of the National Assembly!" ”

Liang Qichao nodded and said, "Okay, gentlemen reporters!" If it was 1915, or before the Tsar's family was killed, and before the Soviet Russian authorities took power, this agreement had no legal effect or legitimacy or rationality, but now it was July 1918, and if it was not for Soviet Russia to take power, this agreement would have no legal effect, but now that the Soviet Russian authorities were in power in Russia, then this agreement would have legal effect. Unless the Russian authorities declare that it is not the legitimate government of Russia. In addition, the family of Emperor Tsar Nicholas II has been killed by the Soviet Russian authorities, that is to say, except for Soviet Russia, there is no organization or individual in Russia who can justifiably enjoy the right to inherit the sovereignty of Russian territory, if according to the logic of this journalist, after the death of the Tsar's family, all the territory of Russia will become terra nullius, since this is the case, our country's occupation of this terra nullius is even more justified, according to the provisions of international law, for the terra nullius, whichever country occupies it first will enjoy sovereignty, my explanation is over!
