Chapter 387 Press Conference (1)

The next day, the time traveler decided to hold a press conference and answer questions from Shanghai reporters.

During this period, time travelers frequently attended various social activities in Shanghai, leaving people with deep confidence, opening and civilization impressions, and accumulated a deeper popularity in the upper class of Shanghai, because those who participated in these activities were basically middle and upper class people in Shanghai; and the football matches held yesterday also made the middle and lower class civilians in Shanghai have a great favor for the time travelers. Although there are not many civilians watching the game so far, most of the people waiting outside the court are civilians, and now almost all civilians in Shanghai are talking about this game.

It can be said that people from all walks of life in Shanghai now have a good impression of time travelers. In fact, there is a voice among the people in Shanghai, that is, they hope that overseas Chinese can participate in the Qing court's government, and it is best to enter military aircraft to help the Qing court enrich the country and strengthen the army, and get rid of its current humiliating position. Although this voice is not good, and it is mainly circulated among young scholars and students, this momentum has already appeared.

Although newspapers have been in Shanghai for more than 30 years, and have more than 50 foreign newspapers in China, the press conferences and answering reporters’ questions are definitely a new thing in Shanghai. Moreover, in the current concept of Chinese in Shanghai, overseas Chinese have become representatives of advanced, civilized and advanced. Therefore, all Shanghai sessions are very interested in this press conference. Almost all Shanghai newspapers have sent reporters to attend.

There are also some foreign journalists from non-Shanghai newspapers. They have seen news conferences and news events in foreign countries. They did not expect that overseas Chinese actually had this kind of work. Therefore, they also wanted to see how overseas Chinese news conferences were held. Of course, they also wanted to ask them questions, so they all signed up to participate. There are also some people who have a good impression of time travelers, young students, gentry, and observers sent by consulates from various countries, totaling more than 6.

Time travelers are also willing to come and accept them as long as they want to participate. However, regulations have been made that only reporters have the right to ask questions. Non-reporters are allowed to ask questions. Moreover, each newspaper can only ask one question. Foreign journalists who are not Shanghai newspapers are classified according to nationality, and each country can only ask one question, because the press conference time is limited, from 9:00 to 11:00, there is only two hours, and it is impossible to answer all reporters’ questions.

However, even so, it is probably difficult to answer all the newspaper and country questions within the specified time. Therefore, time travelers use the method of drawing numbers to determine the order of questions until the end of the press conference. For this reason, those who are not at the turn can only admit that they are unlucky.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Qin Zheng, Li Sanjie and Wang Hailong arrived at the door of Licha Hotel on time. Because there were too many people attending the press conference, the lobby of Licha Hotel could not accommodate them at all, so they could only be arranged outdoors.

The work efficiency of Licha Hotel is indeed very high. At this time, the venue was arranged at the gate, and everyone present was in place. More than 20 cameras were arranged in the front row, which really made it a bit like a long spear and a short cannon.

The three of them sat in the chairperson position. Li Sanjie announced that the press conference and answered reporters' questions officially began, and Qin Zhengyan first.

Qin Zheng stood up and said, "Dear reporters and other guests, welcome everyone to attend our press conference and answer reporters' questions first. I hope that our answer will satisfy you after a while. Today, we have been in Shanghai for six days. During this period, we have participated in more than ten various activities and have met many friends. We are very grateful to the hospitality of the people of Shanghai. And everyone knows that yesterday our football team won the game against the British football team, and at this time we

I would like to thank every guest who attended the event yesterday, because they have supported our football team from beginning to end. It can be said that our victory is inseparable from the support of the audience. I believe that you have many questions to ask our football team, so today I specially invited our football team coach Mr. Wang Hailong to answer questions about yesterday's game and our football team. Okay, let me ask you questions below. Every newspaper and every country can only ask one question. Please cherish this opportunity to ask questions."

The first question I got was [Gezhixin News], a newspaper that mainly reports on strange and strange overseas events. Although it also reported some Western science and technology, curiosity still accounted for the majority. In 1898, this newspaper even reported on aliens. It was probably the first news media in China to report on aliens.

The question asked by this newspaper was related to yesterday's game. The reporter said: "Yesterday, Guizhong's football team defeated the British football team. Before that, Guizhong also defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance on the battlefield many times. In addition, I know that Guizhong's skills in investigating things are not inferior to Western countries. Does it mean that our Republicans are actually better than Western countries, but they are not able to do so."

Because it is related to football, Wang Hailong came forward to answer, and Wang Hailong laughed and said, "I do not agree with the combination of football with the country and the nation. Yesterday's game was indeed the one we won, but this is just an ordinary sports game. I hope everyone will not over-interpret it, let alone if we win, it proves that the Chinese are better than foreigners. If we lose, it means that the Chinese are worse than foreigners. Every country and every nation have advantages and disadvantages, and cannot be generalized. We can win yesterday's game, in addition to the support of the current audience, it is also because we train hard in daily life and adopt the correct technical and tactics in the game. Otherwise, we will not win. If we can prove anything, I think it should be proved that the Chinese nation is definitely not a lower-class nation. What foreigners can do, the Chinese will definitely be able to do through their own efforts."

After a pause, Wang Hailong said again: "As for the fact that we have defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance on the battlefield many times before, it is not because the Eight-Nation Alliance is an invader and is unpopular, but we are defending our own homes. Everyone knows that the People's Army is actually composed of Chinese natives. They are fighting to defend their homes and fighting for justice, and they will naturally win. Speaking of science and technology, which is what you call the art of investigating things, ancient Chinese science and technology have always been ahead of the world, but in nearly two or three hundred years,

We are closed to our own country, while other countries are pioneering and enterprising, so China lags behind other countries at the beginning, but this backwardness is not unchangeable. Our neighbor Japan is a good example. Before Meiji's renewal, it was not as good as China. However, through self-change, they have learned the advanced systems and technologies of Western countries, and now they have come to the forefront of China. But as long as we Chinese people's efforts and government support, I believe China will catch up again and stand tall among the nations of the world."

After Wang Hailong finished speaking, there was a burst of applause. Wang Hailong was not proud of the victory that the time traveler had achieved before, and boasted about himself. At the same time, he also faced China's backwardness and the advancedness of other countries. He was full of confidence in China's future. He spoke objectively and confidently, and showed a broad and grand attitude. Therefore, the reporters and others were very respectful when they heard it.

In fact, although Wang Hailong is careless and has a three-pointed aura, in formal occasions, Wang Hailong can still show a well-educated and well-educated attitude and style. After all, Wang Hailong is a soldier who grew up in the new era.

The second improvement is the Shanghai Times, a branch of the British Times in Shanghai. It is an English newspaper. The main consumer group is foreigners in China. The newspaper’s reporter’s question is: “Tomorrow you will negotiate with other countries. So what kind of result do you hope to achieve for this negotiation?”

Qin Zheng said: "We have mentioned the principle of our participation in this negotiation many times before. Now I can repeat it again, that is, we must peacefully resolve China's wars on the basis of equality and safeguard China's national sovereignty, national interests and territory. We will never accept unequal treaties, thank you."

After Qin Zheng's answer ended, there was another warm applause.

After hearing this, the reporter immediately asked, "You will not accept compensation if you say so, right?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this is your second question and should be reported by the lower reporter."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the reporter sat down a little embarrassedly. Next was another English newspaper, Damei Evening News, asked a question. The reporter's question was immediately followed by the Shanghai Times, saying: "If this negotiation did not achieve the result you hoped, what measures would you take? Will you choose to continue the war?"

Qin Zheng said: "If this negotiation fails, we will use all the means we think are appropriate, thank you."

The reporter from the "Damei Evening News" was stunned and said, "All the means you think are appropriate? So does this include war?"

Qin Zheng said: "Although this is also the second question you asked, I can still reply. What I said is to use all the means we think are appropriate, so you can use your own understanding to find the answer to the second question you asked." After a pause, he said: "Actually, the answer is also in my previous reply, which is not the second question I answered. Therefore, every newspaper and every country still has only one chance to ask questions. I hope everyone will not misunderstand it."
