Chapter 291: National Light

The major general officer appeared again, so that the foreign reporters who were holding back their anger found a target to vent. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they want to get back the field that was previously despised by Chinese journalists. Although they don't dare to provoke their peers, these foreign adults are very angry with the Chinese government. No one cares about the rules of the press conference at all. They rushed directly to surround the officer corps of the major generals, and the problem was smashed out like a cannon.

"I'm a reporter from the English Daily, and the Japanese claim that they have killed Huang Haoran, is this true or false?"

It's a single-edge. According to the current division of world power, although Britain has given up the first throne, the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets still remains, so the people are quite arrogant. The tone of this British journalist is like being able to come to the interview has given the Wuhan government a big face, you Chinese had better be a little explosive news for me to deliver, otherwise I will not come next time I am invited.

"I am a Spanish journalist, and there is information that the Wuhan government deliberately blocked the news of Huang Haoran's death in order to prevent the collapse of the army's morale, is this the practice of covering your ears and stealing the bell as you Chinese say?"

Knowing the idiom of covering his ears and stealing the bell, it seems that the Spanish journalist is still a Chinese expert, but unfortunately he is not very friendly. Although Spain is not even a second-rate country in Europe, in China it still considers itself a Western power, and it feels very good.

And these are relatively polite. There was an Italian journalist in the room, clearly on the side of Japan. Compared to others, his questions are more scathing, sounding like they are deliberately trying to slap the Wuhan government in the face.

"Young general, don't panic~ I know the difficulties of your government...... In fact, there have been rumors in the market in Wuhan for the past two days: your best general has been killed, and the Japanese army will soon attack the three towns of Wuhan, and the city is about to be abandoned...... You don't have to rush to deny it...... Because in fact, there are government offices retreating to the southwest every day, aren't they? I want to take the liberty of asking, have you already admitted defeat and want to hide in the mountains? It's not like the style of a big government, it's quite undignified......"

Dressed in a sophisticated suit, a high-end shirt and a romantic mustache, the Italian journalist looked like a playboy. It is worthy of being a country with many artists, and it specializes in producing this kind of oily noodles.

It is really a coincidence that the press officer convened by the Ministry of Civil Affairs today is actually a chick. There is a clear lack of experience in dealing with crises. Surrounded by this group of foreign reporters, he suddenly seemed to be in a hurry, and his face was full of panicked expressions, like a child who made a mistake and was caught.

Seeing the embarrassment of the Chinese press officers, the foreign journalists concluded that they had guessed correctly. It seems that the Battle of Wuhan is coming to an end soon, and China is still inferior in technology, although it fought vigorously at the beginning of the beginning, and now it has lost even its own best ability to fight.

"What evidence do you have? I also said that the Emperor of Japan is dead! If it was in the newspapers, would you go to Tokyo and question the Japanese? ”

"That is, since it is a press conference held by the Ministry of Military Affairs, the official will naturally explain it...... What are you anxious about? I think you just want to see Chinese jokes! What international friends? Phew......"

The Chinese reporters present could not stand it anymore, this was the second time they had challenged their foreign counterparts, and the atmosphere of today's news conference was very bad from the very beginning. Chinese journalists even felt that such a sensitive matter should not be allowed to be messed with by foreigners. It is completely possible for foreigners to reprint it after it has been published in a Chinese newspaper. It seems that these officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs have done another stupid thing.

"Evidence? Look at your officials~ Those who have been asked can't even speak...... I don't think there's a need for evidence anymore, right? Hahaha......"

"That is, this news has been completely made public in Shanghai, but Wuhan is still so tightly guarded, this is clearly a weak heart~ I see that these Chinese are still alive in the last century, don't they know that there is a telegraph? The news in Shanghai doesn't have to be seen in Wuhan until noon, and covering up is a very bad choice......"

"If you lose, you lose, and you don't even have the courage to admit it, which is really ungentlemanly......"

Both sides did not show weakness to each other, and they quarreled together, and the whole press conference site quickly turned into a vegetable market.

But in the end, it was the foreign journalists who had the upper hand, because they had in their hands the newspapers that were published in Shanghai today, and the unexplained rumors as evidence. However, China's rebuttal can only rely on patriotic enthusiasm, and the officials they have come up with are still silent until now, and no matter how you think about it, it is a little heart-wrenching.

Just when the foreign reporters were majestic and dominated the audience, a "Minister He has arrived~" suddenly sounded, and then the heavily armed gendarmes of the brigade began to appear. The arrival of the army made the foreign correspondents quickly become honest, although they still had resentment written on their faces and kept muttering in foreign languages, but the press conference was finally back on the right track.

Minister He, who was smiling, walked to the floor microphone, first waved his hand to the reporters present, and then opened with a slightly excited voice:

"Dear journalists, let me and He explain the doubts in your hearts...... I have invited you here to be a witness~ Ladies and gentlemen, today, the Supreme Leader of our government will personally present the first National Glory Medal here......! ”

When Minister He said this, two colonel-level officers walked to the front of the podium with a rosewood box and stood still, and then opened the box in their hands and began to display the contents of the box. The blue gemstone is set on a pure gold base, dyed red near the base of the gemstone, with a mighty eagle in the center and a ray of light all around, symbolizing that the winner of this chapter has the power to make the country have a great future, a prosperous country, and a radiant light.

The Order of National Light was established on November 8, 1938, the 26th year of the Republic of China (1938) to amend the Regulations on the Honours of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
