Chapter 466: Intimidation on the spot
"This operation of the Chinese Navy succeeded in capturing a Japanese detachment, which was the first time in the history of naval warfare in the world. But we are all curious, General Chen Shaokuan, what kind of methods did you use to achieve your goals? Did you use poison gas, as legend has it? ā
The press conference was in full swing...... The successful capture of a fleet attracted the attention of the whole world than the sinking of two Japanese battleships by the Air Force. After all, the battleship that was sunk was only Japan's, and it had nothing to do with other countries. But now, since the Chinese can capture the Japanese fleet, doesn't that mean that they can also capture the fleet of any other country? In this regard, all the countries in the world are furious. Therefore, after hearing about this victory on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, various countries sent diplomats to negotiate with the Chinese government, and various governments also summoned Chinese ambassadors one after another...... The reaction from the United Kingdom, in particular, was the most violent. The British government even threatened to halt aid or even close the Burma Highway. According to Ambassador to Britain Guo Taiqi, after the British Foreign Secretary negotiated with him to no avail, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also came forward, and he also showed his teeth and claws in front of him, posing as if he wanted to eat people. But it didn't work. The Chinese government continues to decline to disclose any information. Even in the face of Churchill, who was known for his toughness, he still pushed back. And Guo Taiqi also showed irrepressible excitement in the telegram to China, because it was the first time he was so tough in the face of foreign powers. "In the face of the threat of the British Prime Minister, I only said lightly: 'All countries are very interested in this,' and Churchill immediately died down, and when it came, my heart was inexplicably excited, and I only wanted to look up to the sky...... When government negotiations fail, journalists are now the only means available to countries. So. Despite the long distances in many places, reporters from all over the world still arrived in Haikou on time in just a few days.
"We didn't use poison gas." Faced with the question of this journalist who claimed to be from Britain, Chen Shaokuan sat beside Chiang Kai-shek with a righteous face, "I can guarantee this with my personality." ā
"But if it weren't for the use of poison gas, what means could make a fleet of men lose their lives almost without resistance?" The British journalist was visibly dissatisfied with Chen's answer, "Or rather, your country just doesn't want to admit it, but in fact you did use poison gas." Is it? ā
"As I said, we didn't use poison gas." Chen Shaokuan still replied.
"Mr. Chairman, can you answer my question?" The British reporter no longer paid attention to Chen Shaokuan, "Your country has always been very backward in terms of weapons, and you can't even make an ordinary artillery piece on your own...... Now suddenly there are weapons that can easily capture a fleet. If you didn't use poison gas, what did you do? ā
"This Mr. Journalist. Each journalist can only ask one question. You're already the third. Seeing that Lao Jiang's face began to turn black after hearing the deliberate and provocative questions of the British reporter, Qin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly signaled Shao Lizi, who was presiding over the press conference, to raise his head.
"I know this is my third question, but from the first one, you have not answered...... I'm just trying to know the answer. Has your country used poison gas in war? The British journalist was unrelenting. Don't even sit down. And his actions were also supported by a group of foreign devils around him.
"Mr. Chairman, you should answer this question......"
"That's right. If you don't answer, it's default! ā
"I'll just say that China is backward. How could there be such an advanced weapon? Only it could be poison gas! ā
"I suspect that the gas was not produced by them, maybe it was supported by the Soviets."
ā¦ā¦
"Ahem, ahem......"
The foreign devils just want to make trouble. Shao Lizi, the propaganda minister, repeatedly opened his mouth to stop these guys, but unfortunately no one paid attention to them at all. However, many Chinese reporters next to them were annoyed by the unscrupulousness of these foreign devils, and they reasoned with them with righteous indignation, and some even took action...... But this was obviously beyond the scope of the press conference, and Shao Lizi could only quickly order the guards to stop it. In this case, feeling that He Yingqin was pulling his clothes with more and more force, Qin Wei could only lightly tap the megaphone in front of him:
"Which reporter asked the question?"
"It's me!" Just now, the British reporter raised his arm, "I'm asking the question...... General Qin, can you answer this question of mine? ā
"This involves military secrets." Qin Wei looked embarrassed.
"But people also need to know the truth." The British are-for-tat.
"I couldn't agree more...... However, as you said just now, China is still very backward, and it is somewhat unlikely that China will be able to produce advanced weapons. Qin Wei smiled a little embarrassed again, "Therefore, the methods we use are actually not very clever, in the final analysis, it is just a technique." It may even be that you just need to relay my words to your military workers in your country, and they will soon be able to restore this method or weapons...... Britain is the number one maritime power, aren't you afraid that it will cause trouble for your own country? ā
"What do you mean, what do you mean?" The British reporter's face changed suddenly.
"I mean, if you continue to ask me this question, or if a certain journalist who is present asks me this question, then the huge British Navy may be severely damaged in a short period of time, and it is unimaginably heavy......" Qin Wei bared his teeth and pretended to touch the nest of foreign reporters a few times: "I seem to have heard someone speaking French, German, and even Italian...... Mr. Reporter, don't you want them to know about this? ā
"Are you trying to scare me by not wanting to answer questions?" The British journalist asked with a smile.
"You're smart, Mr. Reporter, and I'm really scaring you!" Qin Wei smiled: "But what can you do? Do you want to continue to ask questions? ā
āā¦ā¦ IāI'll take back the question I just asked. ā
The British reporter pursed his lips and stared at Qin Wei for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't raise his courage...... Britain was now bombed badly by Germany, but it was all supported by the navy. Even if Qin Wei said that it was only possible in case, he would not dare to take this risk. Unless he wants to commit treason. And seeing him sit down stupidly, Qin Wei was even happier:
"Hehe, this journalist is very smart, he made the right choice...... Of course, in order to avoid possible losses to the British Navy, and to avoid yourself being hunted down by the British Military Intelligence Agency, I am sure that my journalist friends from the United States, and all other countries with which Britain has non-hostile relations, would not have raised such a question in public. As for the journalists of France, Germany, and even Italy, and all of their allies, in order to avoid being beaten and even murdered by your journalist friends from Britain and its allies, I am sure you will not ask the same question, will you? ā
āā¦ā¦ā
"This kid ......"
There are only a few people on the rostrum, Lao Jiang is in the center, He Yingqin and Chen Shaokuan are on his left, Qin Wei and Bai Zhenxi are a little outside, and Shao Lizi and Xu Tingyao are on the outside, but there are not many people on the stage, and there are many bigwigs sitting under the stage. Seeing that Qin Wei actually played such a scoundrel trick, and even openly provoked the relationship between reporters from various countries at the press conference, the people couldn't help crying and laughing while being dumbfounded...... However, everyone also knew that as soon as Qin Wei's trick came out, those reporters from all over the world who were originally looking for trouble would definitely not be able to ask any sharp questions...... Having said that, if you ask about such a question that may involve the security of the British Royal Navy, not only may you be beaten by journalists from the UK and its "friendly countries" now, but you may also be hunted down by the British Military Intelligence Agency in the future...... Although everyone knew that Qin Wei was deliberately scaring people, even if he asked for it, it was impossible for the other party to really tell the secret of that weapon, but the question was, since he couldn't ask anything, why take this risk? It's not good to be misunderstood, isn't it? And those reporters with German, Japanese, Italian and French backgrounds dare not speak casually, because as long as they ask questions, they may be interfered with by reporters from Britain and the United States, and they will really fight like Qin Wei said...... Isn't that a joke for the Chinese?
"Leverage your strength, stinky boy, you're getting more and more damaged." Seeing that the bunch of foreign reporters who were still sworn to not achieve their goals were suddenly stuck, He Yingqin shook his head with a wry smile, "But now that no one asks questions, how can this press conference be carried out?" Could it be that you let the chairman sit here? ā
"Come less, when I don't know if you have any arrangements? The foreign devils don't ask questions, let's play by ourselves...... Ah, isn't that going to get up...... Well? ā
As he was talking, Qin Wei suddenly jumped up, which startled He Yingqin and the others.
"What's wrong?"
Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly sat down in his seat and asked unhappily.
"I've met an acquaintance!" Qin Wei took a long breath to calm himself down, and tilted his chin downward: "Long time no see!" ā
"Long time no see!" A woman stood up in the group of Chinese reporters, a very beautiful woman: "Qin-Yuan-Chang!" ā
"It sounds intimate." Qin Wei frowned, and looked around again: "However, you don't think that with this title, you can let me intercede for you, right?" ā
"I'm here to negotiate." The woman took off the camera hanging around her neck and handed it to the guards leaning over, "On behalf of the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army of the Imperial Japan, I would like to make a request to Chairman Chiang and the government of your country for negotiations: exchange the same number of Chinese prisoners for the three divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army that are currently besieged in northern Vietnam!"
