Chapter 468: Press Conference
When Qiao Youhua returned to the compound of the regimental headquarters in Pingshan County, he found that the combat conference room was already crowded with yellow-haired, red-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, both men and women.
is surrounding the political commissar Guo Meng in the middle, asking all kinds of questions, Guo Meng, who is not proficient in foreign languages such as English, French, German and Soviet, and has never experienced this kind of occasion, is obviously a little unable to cope, and he is completely holding on.
Seeing Qiao Youhua's arrival, Guo Meng's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Qiao Youhua very inauthenticly and said to a group of foreign reporters: "Fellow journalists, our regiment leader, the national anti-Japanese hero Qiao Youhua is him, he is here, you can go and interview him!" ”
The foreign reporters present turned their heads when they heard this, and when they saw Qiao Youhua, they were all obviously stunned, especially a few of the female reporters, who were even more dazzled, they thought that Qiao Youhua should be a middle-aged man with a beard.
But I didn't expect it to be such a handsome and tall young man, and several foreign female reporters were already a little spring-hearted.
Without waiting for them to swarm around, Qiao Youhua raised his hands and said very firmly: "International friends, dedicated journalist friends, I know that you are very eager to interview me and my army and understand our army.
But let me say that since you have come to our anti-Japanese base area, you will certainly have ample time and opportunity to conduct interviews, and I assure you of that.
So there's no need to get too excited, please pay attention to your gentlemanly demeanor and appearance! ”
Qiao Youhua's words were said in English, and basically the foreigners present could understand it, so they stopped one after another, and had another layer of admiration for Qiao Youhua, who called themselves high-class social people.
One by one, they are no longer so eager, but they are very personable and groomed, so as not to lose face here and be ridiculed by their peers and the national heroes of this well-talkative backward country in the East.
Qiao Youhua smiled with satisfaction: "Everyone, you have traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers, and you must have been very tired all the way, so let's go down with my adjutant to rest first, and I will hold a press conference for you later, and invite you to participate at that time, you can speak freely and ask any questions you want to know!" ”
"Oh yes! Shredded coconut! This Chinese national hero is truly extraordinary, and we like your arrangement. A male reporter in his forties said.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Qiao Youhua nodded slightly.
Zheng Yunshan hurriedly stepped forward and said to the reporters: "Everyone, please come with me." ”
Qiao Youhua watched a group of foreign reporters leave, and among them there was a female reporter with big eyes, a high nose, and a hot blue haired body who kept throwing flattering eyes at him.
Only then did he turn his head and ask Guo Mengdao: "Political Commissar Guo, have you decided on the origin of these people?" ”
Guo Meng nodded and said: "Before these people came to our base area, our underground party comrades investigated their identities, and there is no problem, without the help of our underground party comrades, they would not be able to enter our base area through the Japanese war zone."
That's why I'm going to lure them directly to our regimental headquarters. ”
"Then for these foreign journalists, what do we mean by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?" Qiao Youhua asked.
Guo Meng glanced at him approvingly, and finally knew that he had taken care of the organizational discipline, and said: "The organizational meaning is to receive them and take the opportunity to preach to them that the Eighth Route Army led by our Communist Party is resolutely resistant to Japan and how to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines under difficult conditions!"
In short, it is to use the pen and paper of these foreign journalists to publicize our arduous guerrilla warfare in the rear, so that foreign forces can also know that our Eighth Route Army is an anti-Japanese force! ”
"Well, I see." Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "Political Commissar Guo, you go and prepare, we will hold a press conference later, and you will speak as a representative of our Dragon Tooth Independent Column." ”
"What? Do I have another floor? Guo Meng was a little surprised, and he was a little scared when he remembered the scene he was tired of dealing with just now.
"Of course, don't forget, you are a political commissar, and it is your job to propagate our beliefs and ideas." Qiao Youhua said.
"However, I don't speak so much Chinese at all, and I don't have any dealings with foreigners." Guo Meng said anxiously.
Qiao Youhua said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, it's no problem, I believe you can, when the time comes, Qiao will be a staff officer for Political Commissar Guo!" ”
Guo Meng glanced at Qiao Youhua gratefully and said, "Then thank you." ”
"By the way, when you are done with these reporters, you have to go down to the garrisons of each battalion to assist the three battalions in speeding up the recruitment of new recruits. Qiao Youhua said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll take a group of backbones with me when I go back and go to the countryside to call on the majority of young and middle-aged people to enlist in the army!" Guo Meng nodded happily.
Half an hour later, the press conference was held in the compound of the regiment headquarters, and Qiao Youhua ordered the guards to set up several rows of long benches in the courtyard, and set up a table on the steps at the door of the war room.
Qiao Youhua asked people to notify a group of reporters to sit at the table, and he and Guo Meng sat side by side behind the table, Qiao Youhua smiled and looked at the dozen or so foreign reporters present, and said: "International friends, now you can raise your hand to speak if you have any questions, and my political commissar and I will answer them one by one!" ”
"Mr. Qiao, may I ask what your military rank is?" The male reporter in his forties who spoke earlier was the first to raise his hand to ask.
"My military rank is colonel, colonel of the National Revolutionary Army, officially enshrined by the Nationalist Government of Chongqing!" Qiao Youhua said.
"Well, then I'll call you Colonel Joe, okay?" The male reporter said.
"Absolutely." Qiao Youhua nodded.
"Thank you, first of all, I am a journalist from Germany, my name is Adru? Sivats, my Chinese friends used to call me Adru. Yadru paused and continued: "My question is, how did you defeat the Japanese army, which is stronger than yours in terms of strength, weapons, and firepower, with a small number of troops and inferior weapons and equipment, no logistics, no air force and artillery fire, and no ground armored forces?" ”
Qiao Youhua said: "Mr. Adru, first of all, before answering your question, let me make it clear that although my troops are not many and their weapons and equipment are not advanced, our troops have no logistics, and they are not fighting alone!" We have thousands of Chinese compatriots behind us, and it is precisely because of their selfless help that we can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the aggressor!
As for the deeper answer, it involves war secrets, so please forgive me for not going into too much detail. ”
