C2249 Reasoning (1/2)
”Alright, now that we have unified the concept of the country, we can get a clear answer. The Chinese have the land, the population, the nation, the independent culture … And of course there is a government as efficient as ours! ”
At this point, the Chinese generals around the hall puffed up their chests and raised their heads, looking at the reporters with pride.
”It is precisely because we the Chinese have such an efficient government that we can effectively coordinate and manage social resources. That is why we have this miraculous Northern Industrial Zones, which is why we have countless universities, hospitals, and research institutes … So many factories, shipyards and countless barracks … ”
”War does not just depend on the strength of the nation, but also on the organization and mobilization of power. Could this be done by a barbarian warlord?”
Xiao Letian waved his hands and said grievingly, ”Warlord? Fortunately, the Prime Minister did not put me in the banditry, and I am very grateful to him for that! ”
”As for my path to greatness, it was indeed a scary one. Many outsiders would find it unbelievable, but creating miracles is not a sin. To follow the old ways is not something glorious …”
”Gentlemen, Asia is far behind this era. Can we just follow the old ways and keep up with Europe?”
”Perhaps it is due to my actions that many traditional politicians dislike it, which is why they wear tinted glasses to look at people. It is normal for a black sheep like me to jump out of a flock of white sheep and make people dislike me, so my various accusations towards Prime Minister Benjamin would not be angered …”
Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders and laughed, ”These are words of truth, they are not my words of courtesy!”
None of the editors present had expected Xiao Letian to be so frank and magnanimous today. His bearing was a stark contrast to the sarcastic Benjamin of yesterday.
It had been a long time since Xiao Letian invested emotionally in Europa's newspaper industry. Lei Ao didn't rub the sand in his eyes, he understood these colleagues too well, so he understood a lot of hidden information from their eyes.
As the time for the exclusive interview passed by bit by bit, the atmosphere of the venue became more and more relaxed. Xiao Letian and his group of generals answered tricky questions one after another.
From the question of whether or not the Chinese were an independent nation, to the question of whether or not Xiao Letian was a ambitious person or a warlord, including the construction thoughts and current achievements of the Chinese Northern Industrial Zones, and even the brutal battles in East Asia, the interview had all involved a lot.
In the end, some reporters even started to inquire about Xiao Letian's private matters. For example, why was he a disciple of the Protestantism and not just one, why did he have two wives instead of one?
No matter how sensitive the question was, it would not lessen the smile on Xiao Letian's face by even a little.
Leo's heart finally settled down. He knew clearly that these editors who were known for their venomous tongues were giving the Chinese too much face today. Many of the problems that appeared to be caused by the attacks were actually just helping the leader pass.
Today's exclusive interview had answered almost all of the public's questions about the Chinese, and had also blocked all of Benjamin's malicious slander.
Ten minutes onstage, ten years behind his back. This sentence did not only speak of the difficulty of learning, but also of the difficulty of the public opinion battle.
