Volume Eight, Hundred Years of Resentment, Chapter 120, War Does Not Believe in Tears
It was not the Republic or Japan that "posted" the news first, but C
At 1:30 a.m. ET, in the "24-hour rolling special news program of Sino-Japanese War", nn TV took the lead in reporting that the Republic's Navy intercepted a fleet of ships departing from San Francisco, USA, about 120 kilometers east of Hokkaido to transport humanitarian aid supplies to Japan.
At this time, the battle is less than half an hour away!
NN's reaction is so fast, it is extraordinary.
Although NN has an extraordinary relationship with the US government, especially the US intelligence agencies, the private news media are not state television after all, and NN's information will be delayed for at least several hours in previous reports. n~After reporting the relevant news, many "peers" such as Al Jazeera mocked NN for being too explicit in a sarcastic way, trying to take this opportunity to create public opinion pressure that is unfavorable to the Republic.
In fact, it did produce public opinion pressure that is unfavorable to the Republic.
After NN released the report, other new Western styles also followed up and reported related news one after another.
It seems that in order to prove that the Republic deliberately intercepted the fleet carrying humanitarian aid supplies, Western news media such as NN have also produced a lot of evidence in the reports, such as the time when the fleet left San Francisco, the sailing route, the time when it arrived in Yokohama, the crew list, the list of freight materials registered with institutions such as the International Red Cross.
If the reports from Western news media such as NN are, the Republic will surely be condemned by the whole world.
Although the Republic has never accepted the release of fleets that transport "humanitarian aid supplies", according to unwritten international practices, humanitarian rescue agencies such as the International Red Cross and the International Crescent Society can be free from war and transport materials to countries and regions in need of humanitarian rescue during the war. During the Warring States, the Warring States must respect and protect humanitarian rescue operations.
Now, the whole world's attention has turned to the Republic, waiting for the Republic to respond.
It was at this time that Yan Shanglong urgently made an appointment with the French Foreign Minister.
Beijing time at 17:30 Beijing time. Yan Shanglong sent back the message from Paris. The relevant evidence has been sent to the French Foreign Minister and the Foreign Minister has reported the relevant situation to the French President. It won't take long. Other EU member states will obtain the truth of the news reported by France.
It seemed that this had been expected. Wang Yuanqing immediately notified Ye Zhisheng. The Minister of Defense took the stage to perform.
17 o'clock. Ye Zhisheng held a press conference at the Ministry of National Defense.
Before entering the venue, Ye Zhisheng put his speech in hand and sorted out his straight coat. After 0 years of political work, Ye Zhisheng had already learned how to deal with reporters from Wang Yuanqing. Even though there were hundreds of reporters with various problems outside, he did not feel nervous at all.
What should come, will come sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhisheng walked into the venue and headed straight towards the chairman's seat in the center.
"Everyone, today is after the press conference announces the relevant news. We will give you enough opportunities to ask questions. Everyone consciously abide by the venue discipline."
Guan Yinglin, spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense who presided over the press conference, first introduced the situation.
With the photos of sonar-formed photos marked with detailed descriptions, extremely "convincing" evidence was presented to everyone. Western journalists who wanted to "attack" at first shut up and neutral journalists who were "worrying" about the Republic became active.
If you don’t make a sound, you’ll make a splash!
The Republic does not have "empty talk", but speaks with real evidence.
“…It’s basically the case.
"As a female spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, Guan Yinglin, who is already aged, acts very calm and calm, no worse than men at all. "Long before the strategic blockade against Japan, our country published a list of relevant embargo materials and attached great importance to the interests of neutral countries. It only requires neutral countries to inform the diplomatic departments of the Republic before transporting materials to Japan to avoid accidents. The actual situation is that the US fleet did not inform our country of intelligence before leaving the port of San Francisco and entering the strategic blockade waters. Based on humanitarian principles, our country does not oppose the delivery of materials for humanitarian rescue to Japan, nor has it prohibited the delivery of humanitarian rescue materials to Japan.
In peacetime or during wartime, our country has been closely connected with many international humanitarian institutions such as the International Red Cross, the International Crescent Society, and the International FAO. Judging from the evidence we have obtained, the US fleet transported not food, medicines and other daily necessities for humanitarian rescue, but tanks, artillery, fighter aircraft, various types of ammunition and industrial raw materials that can be used to make weapons and ammunition. As it is proclaimed, the United States is not trying its best to solve the survival problems of Japanese war refugees, but is spared no effort to promote the war, intending to cause more people to be destroyed by war and make more Japanese refugees suffer!"
As soon as Guan Yinglin finished speaking, the venue became lively.
While Western journalists remained silent, reporters from neutral news media such as Al Jazeera took the lead in asking questions.
It is some irrelevant topics, so Ye Zhisheng gave a chance to speak.
Seeing that the press conference was about to end, Western journalists finally couldn't help it.
That's what Ye Zhisheng is waiting for.
After Guan Yinglin answered a question from a Russian reporter, Ye Zhisheng coughed twice and nodded to a Western reporter who raised his hand high.
"Hello Minister Ye, I am N reporter Roger. Although the evidence released by your country is very convincing, all the evidence was obtained after sinking the transport ship. I want to know one thing, did your country issue an order to sink the ship of a third country based on speculation?"
As soon as this question came out, the venue suddenly became quiet.
Ye Zhisheng sneered inwardly and said, "My answer is very yes: Of course not."
"Hiss Minister..."
Ye Zhisheng suppressed his hand and said, "As far as I know, NN has a close relationship with the US intelligence agencies. If the same thing happened to the United States, would Cia be completely unaware of it? The Republic also has a complete intelligence system that has the ability to provide sufficient intelligence basis for national decision-making. So far, the Republic's intelligence agencies have not made any serious mistakes, at least because of intelligence errors, the Republic has brazenly sent troops to overthrow the legitimate regimes of other countries.
As for how to obtain information, this is a state secret of the Republic, and I can’t tell you.”
The nn's reporter sat down in shame, but the other reporters were a little gloating.
"His Excellency Minister!" The second Western reporter rose, "I am Jackson, a reporter from Sky Television in the UK. In the beginning of the news announcement, Ms. Guan mentioned that your country does not prohibit the delivery of humanitarian materials to Japan. Does it mean that China and your country will appropriately relax their strategic blockades, allow ships carrying humanitarian materials to Japan, and allow ships carrying war refugees to leave Japan?"
"This question is very good, and I believe that many of the people here want to ask this question." Ye Zhisheng paused for a moment and said, "In the list of embargoed materials published by our country, materials that can only be used for humanitarian rescue have been excluded. Because of the impact of the war situation, materials that can be used for both humanitarian rescue and war, such as oil and food. Strategic blockade is an indispensable means of war. As far as I know, Western countries such as the United States and Britain not only implemented strategic blockades on certain countries during wartime, but also imposed material embargoes in peacetime. Not to mention anything else, Western countries have not lifted their military embargo to our country so far."
When Ye Zhisheng said this, the Western reporter's expression became very ugly.
"The purpose of war is not to overthrow the legitimate regimes of other countries. So far, the Republic has not launched a war to overthrow the regimes of a certain country. The purpose of war is to punish war criminals who wantonly launch wars, and it has nothing to do with civilians. It's just that Japan's situation is very special. When Japanese civilians cannot choose their own government, how do we identify who is war criminal and who is civilian?"
"Hiss Minister..."
Western journalists were immediately excited, as if they had seized the handle.
Ye Zhisheng did not give reporters a chance to ask questions and continued: "After the war broke out, our country announced that this was an aggressive counterattack. Our country launched a counterattack only when it was invaded. From the beginning to the end, our country hoped to end the war as soon as possible and end the war in a peaceful negotiation. A few days ago, our country had issued a ceasefire negotiation to Japan through the United States, Europe and other countries, but Japan did not care about our position. It was not until the scale of the war expanded again that Japan agreed to a ceasefire negotiation. It can be seen that we cannot measure Japan with common sense, nor can we judge Japan with common sense. Who can guarantee that after supplies such as food, fuel, and medicines will be sent to Japan, it will definitely be used to rescue war refugees, rather than to raise
High combat effectiveness of the army? For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been a peace-loving nation. We can even say that for thousands of years, the Chinese nation has never embarked on the road of external expansion like Western countries. Loving peace does not mean indulging in aggression. History has proved countless times that the Chinese nation has the courage to defeat in the face of a strong enemy. The standards of Western civilization can better illustrate the problem, 'War does not believe in tears'. The Chinese nation once paid too much tears and blood in the war against aggression. Before that painful history was far enough to be forgotten, the Chinese nation would never allow any invaders who pose a substantial threat to the country and the nation to act arbitrarily, nor would they indulge in any provocative behavior! "
After saying that, Ye Zhisheng stood up on his own initiative.
"Mr. Minister, I want to ask..."
"Hiss Minister..."
...
The "declaration" issued by Ye Zhisheng immediately detonated the venue. Western journalists and neutral journalists stood up one after another, trying to seize the last opportunity to ask questions.
"Everyone, today's press conference ends here."
After letting Guan Yinglin deal with the reporters, Ye Zhisheng left the venue.
The signal has been sent, and what should be done depends on the response of another "party". (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
