Chapter 388 Press Conference (2)

After the British reporters finished asking questions, a "buzzing" voice suddenly sounded at the scene, because the British reporter's questions were indeed a bit too much, and it also had some scent of provoking trouble. However, in this era, it is normal for reporters to ask some sharp and tricky questions. Even in the old time and space, the reporter's questions would not be stable, and there were thorns in their words, and there were not a few digging holes. Therefore, the other reporters present did not care too much, and only saw how Qin Zheng responded.

Qin Zheng said: "First I want to correct what you said just now. We did not occupy the concessions of various countries by force, because these concessions were originally China's territory, and it was other countries that occupied the concessions rather than us."

The British journalist was about to open his mouth to argue, but Qin Zhengji continued: "I know that these concessions have signed treaties between the countries and the Qing dynasties, and here I do not want to argue with you whether these treaties were signed under equal conditions, nor do I want to discuss whether signing the concessions has legal binding force on us. However, the Qing and other countries are still in a state of war. Since it is in a war period, then there is no rationality or unreasonableness."

After a pause, Qin Zheng continued: "But in our opinion, the concession is a symbol of the Qing Dynasty's loss of national sovereignty and a mark of humiliation in China in recent decades. Therefore, we take back the concession to protect China's sovereignty. As for the questions you raised, there are too many assumptions and our military secrets are involved both internally and externally. I cannot answer your question. Of course, he can also find an agreement in my previous reply based on his own understanding. But there is one thing I can tell you, we have never formulated a plan to attack Shanghai here, thank you."

After Qin Zheng's answer was finished, there was another round of applause, because Qin Zheng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and was reasonable and polite. Although he was calm, he was soft and hard, and he hid a needle in the cotton, which not only showed the attitude of the time traveler, but also stabbed the British reporter back, which should be said to have a very good answer.

The British reporter sat down a little embarrassedly, and the reporter asked the next question said: "If this negotiation is successful, then what are your plans for the next step?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Of course we should stay in China and settle down and build a family, otherwise what else can we do?"

Some laughter suddenly broke out at the scene. The reporter from Shanghai [News News] looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I don't mean that, I'm asking... I'm asking... I'm asking..." I was anxious and didn't know what to say, so I was so anxious that I sweated heavily.

Qin Zheng said: "Mr. Reporter, don't worry, I understand what you meant. You all must know our origin now. The island where we founded overseas has sunk. Therefore, our return to China this time is not a brief return to visit relatives, but a complete return to the land of our parents, and it is also a fallen leaf to return to the roots. It just happened to happen that this war, so we started a war with various countries. From our hearts, we still love peace and refuse war. If this negotiation is successful, we will naturally stay on the land of China. Otherwise, it is difficult for us to find another island to establish a country? In addition, we also know overseas that the Qing court has been cede land for compensation for the past few decades, losing power and humiliating the country. Therefore, we also hope to help China get rid of backwardness, get rid of oppression and humiliation through our efforts and experience, and gradually become prosperous and strong."

The next question was an American reporter, saying: "I have read your booklet introducing your history, but the records are a bit simple. I hope to get some more detailed information. In addition, according to our understanding, the countries you established overseas seem to implement similar republican systems, but as we know, China has always been a monarch. When your ancestors left China, they were also in the monarchy. So how did you establish a republican system."

This question from the American journalist made Qin Zheng a little surprised. He didn't know what he intended to ask this question. He was just curious about the matters of time travelers, or was he provoking something from it? Because although he was just asking about the system of time travelers, this question itself was a very sensitive matter. For countries like the Qing court that were still feudal and majestic, the republic system was like a flood and a beast, and it was simply insoluble in water and fire.

However, Qin Zheng thought about it again that although time travelers still need the banner of the Qing court now, there is no need to care too much about the attitude of the Qing court. After all, with the strength and reputation of the time travelers now, there is no need to miss the Qing court at all. Moreover, although time travelers still need this skin, it is not appropriate to be too deeply integrated with the Qing court. First, the Qing court itself is a symbol of backwardness, and second, the ultimate goal of time travelers is to overthrow the Qing court. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a certain distance from the Qing court, so that the Chinese people of this era feel that the time travelers are different from the Qing court. In Qin Zheng's answer just now, he did not leave any face to the Qing court. He criticized the words that should be criticized. No words that are worthy of being humiliated or being backward are used, so there is no need to worry about the Qing court at this time.

So Qin Zheng said: "The countries we established overseas are indeed implementing what you think of as a republic system. Of course, compared with your country and France, the details are still different in terms of details, but one thing is the same, that is, there is no monarch, the country's Yuan is elected, and has term limits and is supervised by the people. As for our history, we will gradually publish more relevant information in the future. Please wait patiently."

After a pause, Qin Zheng said again: "The reason for how our ancestors implemented the republic system is not complicated, because there were no princes and grandsons among our ancestors, so no one was qualified to be the king. Moreover, our ancestors also reflected on China's history and believed that the monarch was not a good system. So they decided to choose the person with the ability and the most notarized to lead our country. In order to prevent the emergence of dictators, the term of the leader was stipulated, and then gradually improved the system, and absorbed the institutional advantages of some other countries, and finally formed our republic system. In the future, we will specifically disclose relevant information and introduce our political system to satisfy everyone's curiosity."

After hearing Qin Zheng's reply, the Chinese people now breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qin Zheng had made a lot of criticisms of the Qing court before, these criticisms were basically recognized by the Chinese people of this era and were not considered taboos. Moreover, the time travelers are not considered subjects of the Qing court now, and their current reputation is just like the Zhongtian. Therefore, although they have been a little too much in their words, no one has any objections. But when it comes to the system, they are too sensitive, so everyone hopes to hear Qin Zheng's reply, but they are afraid that Qin Zheng's replies will appear more slander and more banned. After all, most people still hope that time travelers can cooperate with the Qing court and bring China into the ranks of prosperity and strength with the traditional model of wise monarchs and wise ministers.

Although Qin Zheng's answer seemed a bit ruthless and had some intention of accuseing the monarch, he was talking about the history of overseas Chinese and did not mention the Qing court, so he could not say that he was wrong. Of course, if it was in the "Kanggan Prosperity" era of the Qing court, whether it was right or wrong, it would be a death sentence. However, the Qing court has long passed the era of being at its peak. Not to mention that Qin Zheng did not explicitly refer to the Qing court, even if Qin Zheng directly said that the Qing court's monarchy system was not good, the Qing court would have no choice.

Of course, for foreign journalists, this is undoubtedly a great topic, enough to make them write a sensational report after returning to China.

Next is the reporter of Shanghai [Execution]. Although the [Execution] at this time was not the old time and space, it was the newspaper with great influence in China, at this time, Shanghai was already a very influential newspaper, and it was established as the three major newspapers in Shanghai.

[Report] reporter said: "We noticed that during this period, during your time, you have mentioned that the Qing Dynasty needs to be reformed many times. So you believe that the Qing Dynasty should need a banquet to carry out the reform. Just now, Political Commissar Qin mentioned that you can help the Qing Dynasty carry out reforms. Do you have a plan to help the Qing Dynasty reform? Will it be based on your experience in establishing a country overseas?"

Qin Zheng nodded, [Execution] is indeed [Execution], and the questions raised are quite good. The Qing court wants to carry out changes, which is basically the consensus of the Chinese elites. However, no one says that how this change should be changed is unacceptable. The arrival of overseas Chinese also gave the Chinese elite a glimmer of hope. Because time travelers are promoting the reform of the Qing court in various activities, giving people the impression that time travelers want to dominate the reform of the Qing court. Therefore, some people also urgently hope to listen to the reform proposals of overseas Chinese.

In addition, Qin Zheng could also hear that the potential question of this question was whether the time travelers would implement the republic system in the Qing court, which would mean to subvert the Qing court.
