Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 120 War Doesn't Believe in Tears
It was not the Republic of China or Japan that "released" the news first, but C
At 1:30 a.m. EST, in the "24-hour rolling news program on the Sino-Japanese War", the television station was the first to report that the Republic Navy intercepted a convoy from San Francisco to Japan about 120 kilometers east of Hokkaido. 【】
At this point, it was less than half an hour before the end of the battle!
The speed of the response is extraordinary in itself.
While the relationship with the U.S. government, especially U.S. intelligence, is extraordinary, the private news outlets are not national television stations, and in the past, information has been delayed for at least several hours. ~ After reporting the relevant news, Al Jazeera and many other "peers" ridiculed it in a sarcastic way for being too explicit, in a vain attempt to take this opportunity to create public opinion pressure that is unfavorable to the Republic.
In fact, it did produce pressure of public opinion that was unfavorable to the republic.
After the report was issued, other Western new bodies immediately followed up and reported relevant news one after another.
It seems that in order to prove that the Republic deliberately intercepted the convoy carrying humanitarian relief supplies, the Western news media also produced a large amount of evidence in their reports, such as the time when the convoy left San Francisco, the route of the voyage, the time of arrival in Yokohama, the list of crew members, and the list of cargo supplies filed with the International Red Cross and other agencies.
If it were to be reported by the Western news media, the republic would have been condemned by the whole world.
Although the Republic has never allowed the convoy to carry "humanitarian relief supplies", according to unwritten international practice, humanitarian relief agencies such as the International Red Cross and the International Crescent can not be constrained by war, and the countries that send materials to countries and regions in need of humanitarian relief to save war refugees during the war must respect and protect humanitarian relief operations.
This time. The world's attention turned to the Republic. Waiting for the Republican to respond.
It was also at this time that Yan Shanglong made an urgent appointment to meet with the French Foreign Minister.
5:30 p.m. Beijing time. Yan Shanglong sent back a message from Paris. The evidence has been sent to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister for Foreign Affairs has reported the situation to the President of France. It won't be long. The rest of the EU member states will have access to the truth about the events transmitted by France.
It seems that this has been expected for a long time. Wang Yuanqing immediately informed Ye Zhisheng. The Minister of Defense took the stage to sing.
17 o'clock. Ye Zhisheng held a press conference at the Ministry of National Defense.
Before entering the venue, Ye Zhisheng prepared the script. I put together a neat coat. 0 years in politics. Ye Zhisheng had already learned from Wang Yuanqing how to deal with reporters. Even if there are hundreds of reporters out there ready for all sorts of questions. It didn't make him nervous in the slightest.
Sooner or later, it will come.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhisheng walked into the venue and walked straight to the chairmanship of the central government.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the press conference, after the relevant news is announced, we will give you enough opportunities to ask questions, and everyone will consciously abide by the discipline of the venue."
Guan Yinglin, spokeswoman of the Ministry of National Defense, who presided over the news conference, first briefed the briefing on the situation.
As the sonar photographs marked with detailed descriptions and the extremely "convincing" evidence were presented to everyone, the Western reporters who wanted to "make trouble" at first all closed their mouths, but the neutral reporters who were "worried" about the republic became active.
If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster!
The republic does not "talk about it", but speaks with real evidence.
“…… That's pretty much the case. "As a female spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, Guan Yinglin, who is already old, behaves very calmly and calmly, no worse than men." Long before the strategic blockade against Japan, China published the list of relevant embargoed materials, and attached great importance to the interests of neutral countries, but only asked all neutral countries to notify the diplomatic department of the Republic of China of the list of materials before sending supplies to Japan, so as to avoid accidents. The reality is that the U.S. fleet did not inform our country of intelligence before leaving the port of San Francisco and entering the strategic blockade zone. In line with humanitarian principles, Japan has no objection to the delivery of humanitarian relief materials to Japan, and has never prohibited the delivery of humanitarian relief materials to Japan. Whether in peacetime or wartime, China has always maintained close contact with many international humanitarian agencies, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Crescent Society, and the International Food and Agriculture Organization. From the evidence we have obtained, the U.S. fleet is not transporting food, medicine and other necessities for humanitarian relief, but tanks, artillery, warplanes, all kinds of ammunition and industrial raw materials that can be used to make weapons and ammunition for war. Facts have proved that the United States is not doing its best to solve the problem of the survival of Japanese war refugees, as it advertises, but spares no effort to promote the war, intending to make more people suffer from the devastation of war and make more Japanese refugees suffer! ”
As soon as Guan Yinglin's words fell, the venue became lively.
While Western journalists remained silent, reporters from neutral news outlets such as Al Jazeera were the first to ask questions.
It was some inconsequential topic, so Ye Zhisheng took the opportunity to speak.
Seeing that the press conference was coming to an end, Western journalists finally couldn't help it.
Ye Zhisheng and others are waiting for this.
After Guan Yinglin answered a question from a Russian reporter, Ye Zhisheng coughed dryly twice and nodded to a Western reporter who raised his hand high.
"Hello Minister Ye, I'm reporter Roger. While the evidence presented by your country is very convincing, all of it was obtained after the sinking of the transport vessel. I wonder if your country gave the order to sink the ships of a third country by guessing? ”
As soon as this question came out, the venue suddenly fell silent.
Ye Zhisheng secretly sneered and said, "My answer is very affirmative: of course not. ”
"Your Excellency ...... Minister"
Ye Zhisheng pressed his hand and said, "As far as I know, it has a close relationship with the US intelligence agencies. If the same thing happened to the United States, would the CIA be completely unaware? The Republic also has a well-developed intelligence system capable of providing sufficient intelligence basis for national decision-making, and so far, the intelligence services of the Republic have not made any serious mistakes, at least not because of intelligence errors that have led the Republic to brazenly send troops to overthrow the legitimate regimes of other countries.
As for how the information was obtained, this is a state secret of the republic, and I have nothing to say. ”
The reporters sat down in a gloomy manner, but the other reporters were a little gloating.
"Your Excellency, Minister!" The second Western reporter stood up, "I'm Jackson, a reporter from Sky TV, and in the opening announcement, Ms. Guan mentioned that your country does not prohibit the delivery of humanitarian supplies to Japan, does that mean that China will appropriately relax the strategic blockade and allow ships carrying humanitarian supplies to go to Japan, and allow ships carrying war refugees to leave Japan?" ”
"That's a good question, and I'm sure there are a lot of people here who want to ask it." Ye Zhisheng paused a little and said, "In the list of embargoed materials announced by my country, materials that can only be used for humanitarian relief have been excluded. Due to the impact of the war situation, materials that can be used for both humanitarian relief and war purposes, such as oil and food, have not been ruled out for the time being. As far as I know, the United States, Britain and other Western countries not only impose strategic blockades on certain countries in wartime, but also impose material embargoes in peacetime. Among other things, so far, Western countries have not lifted the military embargo on our country. ”
When Ye Zhisheng said this, the expressions of Western reporters became very ugly.
"The purpose of war is not to overthrow the legitimate regime of another country, and so far the republic has not waged war for the purpose of overthrowing the regime of a particular country. The purpose of war is to punish war criminals who wage war indiscriminately, and it has nothing to do with civilians. It's just that the situation in Japan is very special, and when Japanese civilians cannot choose their own government, how do we screen who are war criminals and who are civilians? ”
"Your Excellency ...... Minister"
Western reporters suddenly became agitated and seemed to have grasped the handle.
Ye Zhisheng did not give reporters a chance to ask questions, and continued: "After the outbreak of the war, my country announced that this was a war of aggression and counterattack, and my country launched a counterattack only when it was invaded. From the beginning to the end, my country hopes that the war will be brought to an end as soon as possible and that it will be ended through peaceful negotiations. A few days ago, Japan sent armistice talks to Japan through the United States, Europe, and other countries, but Japan did not care about Japan's position, and it was not until the scale of the war expanded again that Japan agreed to hold armistice talks. It can be seen that we cannot use common sense to measure Japan, nor can we judge Japan with common sense. Who can guarantee that after supplies such as food, fuel, and medicine are sent to Japan, they will be used to help war refugees, and not to improve the combat effectiveness of the army? For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been a peace-loving nation, and we can even say that for thousands of years, the Chinese nation has never embarked on the road of foreign expansion like Western countries. Loving peace is not the same as condoning aggression. History has proven countless times that the Chinese nation has invincible courage in the face of a strong enemy. It is even more telling by the standards of Western civilization, 'War does not believe in tears'. The Chinese nation once paid too many tears and blood in the war against aggression, and before that painful history is far enough to be forgotten, the Chinese nation will never allow any aggressor who poses a real threat to the country and nation to act recklessly, nor will it condone any provocative acts! ”
After speaking, Ye Zhisheng took the initiative to get up.
"Your Excellency, I would like to ask ......"
"Your Excellency ...... Minister"
……
Ye Zhisheng's "declaration" immediately detonated the venue, and Western reporters and neutral reporters all got up one after another, trying to seize the last opportunity to ask questions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's press conference."
After asking Guan Yinglin to deal with reporters, Ye Zhisheng left the venue.
The signal has been sent, and what to do depends on the response of the other "party". (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidianm, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
