Chapter 601 Press Conference

The welcome ceremony organized by the British was high-profile and grand, and its purpose was naturally self-evident. The clues could be seen from the actions of the reporters who kept taking pictures at the scene.

After the welcome ceremony, Governor Grantham proposed to invite Fang Lang to hold a brief press conference at the entrance of the Naval Headquarters. Fang Lang knew that Fang Nawei wanted to use his fleet's visit to make a political point.

Fang Lang chose to readily agree to the wrong party's suggestion to prevent the British from saying inappropriate things on his own behalf without having to go through his own situation, and causing the reporters to misinterpret the purpose of the fleet's visit to the port city, causing unnecessary adverse effects.

.

That made Grantham very happy. After some simple preparations, a brief press conference was held on the steps at the entrance of the Admiralty Naval Command Building.

The chief guests attending the press conference were the Commander of the British Navy in Hong Kong, the Governor of Hong Kong, and Fang Lang. When everyone stood in front of the reporters and said that a brief press conference would be held there, the reporters present were overjoyed.

, took the initiative to go forward, holding cameras and notebooks to surround them.

The British naval officers and soldiers at the scene went forward to maintain order, and after putting a distance between the three people and the reporters, the scene gradually calmed down.

Fang Lang took a look and found that there was no camera in it, so he had to give a bad review. Not that Fang Lang wanted to ask for some images of Liudong.

If you record it with a pen, there will be some errors and it will be easy to take it out of context. Fang Lang's real purpose of coming here was not to give a platform to the British, so he didn't want to be used as a weapon by the British.

Soon he found someone running towards him with something that looked like a recording device, and he was slightly reassured. At least the sound could prove what he said.

As a landlord, Governor Granthhorn had long been used to small scenes like this, so he did not show any stage fright and directly began to welcome the journalists on behalf of the British Hong Kong Government.

He also solemnly introduced Fang Lang's identity to everyone, and reviewed the friendly alliance between Britain and Brazil and the history of mutual support between the two sides in the Pacific battlefield.

Then he gave a lengthy introduction to the current relationship between Britain and Brazil. Finally, he looked forward to the future of the port city government and Brazil, and expressed a warm welcome to the Brazilian naval fleet for visiting the port city at that special period.

I have to say that those politicians are really talkative. Although Fang Lang did not say a word about the purpose of coming here, every sentence he said told those reporters that Brazil is a staunch ally of the United Kingdom.

That time the Brazilian navy came to the port city to help the British stabilize the situation in the port city.

Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. Very good. He agreed to attend that press conference. If Zhai Mule and the other guys hold a press conference after they return, the purpose of his visit is probably to ask the Hong Kong British.

The government implemented it directly.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy’s Far East Fleet stationed in the port city expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the Brazilian Navy on behalf of the British Royal Navy.

He once again reiterated the long-standing friendship between the British Royal Navy and the Brazilian Navy, and also touted the combat effectiveness of the Brazilian Navy. At first, he simply stated directly that the current naval strength outside the port city was not the strongest in the entire Far East.

A powerful fleet.

With the existence of such a fleet, the British Empire is confident that it can protect its interests in the port city from being violated.

At first, it was finally Fang Lang's turn to speak, and he knew that at that time, he would definitely refute the words of the previous two people. So, after thinking about it for a while, he coughed twice, stood in front of a group of reporters, and said slowly

Slowly he said:

“I am very happy to meet all the journalist friends in Hong Kong City, and I am also very happy that the Brazilian Navy has been invited by the British Royal Navy to visit Hong Kong City.

They all know that Hong Kong City is a city with great development potential. Its geographical location determines that it will become the most dazzling economic pearl of the United Kingdom in the Far East. At the same time, it will also definitely be China's most sought-after foreign trade window.

.

He knows that the situation in Hong Kong City is very tense now. Many people think that Hong Kong City will be attacked by the army at any time. Therefore, just now, Mr. Governor and the Navy Commander have been constantly encouraging everyone, telling everyone that the British Hong Kong Government is guarding Hong Kong.

The city has infallible confidence.

In fact, from his point of view, everyone's worries are completely unnecessary. If the wrong person wanted to call, the port city would have been in flames long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.

Since the wrong side has chosen to maintain the status quo, it means that they have not used force on Hong Kong Island. As far as he knows, the leaders of the wrong side have made it clear many years ago whether their attitude towards the Hong Kong issue can be resolved through negotiation.

.

And now their actions have proved that they have not broken their promise. He believes that at that time, the British government needs to show its sincerity and be willing to go east to have cordial and friendly negotiations with the other side. The Hong Kong City issue will definitely be peaceful.

solve.

In this regard, he has absolute confidence that if the British government agrees, he can even stand up to mediate."

Fang Lang's words stunned everyone at the scene, and the navy commander didn't know whether he should stand up and stop him from going east.

On the contrary, the Governor of Hong Kong, Granthhorn, seemed much calmer. He calmly and gently pulled the navy commander's sleeve, signaling the wrongdoer not to be impulsive.

Fang Lang, who was talking eloquently, wondered what those British people were thinking! He still continued:

"Of course, this is just his family statement and does not represent the position of the Brazilian government. He believes that everyone can tell from his appearance that he is a Chinese. Therefore, he hopes that the Chinese in Hong Kong can have a safe life.

living environment.

At that point, he believed that his opponent should also hold the same position as him, which was why he dared to stand up and say those words.

As for why he led the fleet here, it was not actually about showing off his force. Rather, Brazil was too far away from the port city. If he wanted to cross the thousands of miles of sea territory, of course he needed suitable means of transportation.

And their British allies have the most powerful navy in the world. That long-distance voyage will not only exercise their navy's long-distance navigation capabilities, but also take this opportunity to come to the port city to learn from their British allies.

That would deny the real purpose of their fleet visit to the port city.

As for their appearance in the port city at that special time, it was not a complete accident. Brazil is a warm and peaceful country and will never take the initiative to intervene in conflicts that have nothing to do with them. Nor will they interfere in the foreign affairs of other countries.

Therefore, we kindly ask everyone not to over-interpret the purpose of their trip.

Thank you everyone!”

After I finished speaking, I never forgot to give a military salute to the reporter from the east!

Fang Lang's statement completely overturned the hints of Mr. Xiandu and the Navy Commander. Fortunately, those two guys were not stupid enough to directly express whether the Brazilian naval fleet led by Fang Lang would come to the British.

of the platform.

But Fang Lang's words made the Navy Commander's face become very ugly. Although Fang Lang had always praised the strength of the British Navy, Fang Lang said that he would not interfere in the foreign affairs of other countries, which also embarrassed the Navy Commander, because

Parked in the dock not far away was a warship that had been injured due to interfering in their foreign affairs.

If it weren't for the fact that that guy had been invited to visit by the Chief of Staff of the Royal Navy, he would have been furious.

The Governor of Hong Kong was very interested in what Fang Lang said. His position determined that his main focus would be on Hong Kong City. If Hong Kong City could be spared from the war, it would be the best news for him.

Moreover, he knew very well that what Fang Lang said might not be true. Therefore, he decided to find time as soon as possible to have an in-depth meeting with the young man.

As soon as Fang Lang finished speaking, the reporters who reacted the most were the reporters at the scene. They became agitated almost instantly. Everyone started to raise their legs to ask questions. For a moment, the press conference that had seemed so orderly suddenly became chaotic.

The naval officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order were also a little confused. Seeing this, Fang Lang glanced at the governor and the naval commander in the port city beside him, and slowly took a step forward, pressing his legs to the east, signaling everyone.

Without seeking excitement, he spoke directly at the same time:

"He knows that everyone has a lot of questions to ask, so let's do that! He can answer ten questions from everyone. After the questions are asked, the press conference will officially end. Do you think it's okay?"

When the reporters from Didong saw the situation, they calmed down a little and answered one after another:

"no problem!"

At the same time, start thinking about what questions are more appropriate to ask.

Seeing Fang Lang's performance, Ge Lianghong on the side knew that Fang was not a person who often dealt with the media. At that time, he regretted holding that press conference, because Fang Lang's statement would obviously disrupt the situation.

Their original rhythm.

But the current situation no longer allowed him to refuse. After all, the topic raised by Fang Lang had more impact than theirs, and the reporters were obviously more interested in it.

Fang Lang didn't care what other people thought, and pointed to a middle-aged celebrity who looked like an elite and said:

"Friend from the reporter, let me ask the first question! They agreed first that each person can ask one question. I hope everyone can seize the opportunity and not ask questions that he is not willing to answer."

The middle-aged man who was pointed at by Fang Lang pointed at himself with some disbelief, and confirmed to Fang Lang that it was really him. After receiving Fang Lang's nod of confirmation, he continued to speak:

"General Ge Dong, thank you very much for giving me the first opportunity. The question he wants to ask is: whether the person you just said was wrong should have the same position as you. Then he wants to know whether it is your own personal

Your idea, haven’t you already confirmed it with me in advance?”

Hearing this, Fang Lang frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows quickly, then waved his legs carelessly and said:

"That's his personal opinion. He has not confirmed it with the wrong side yet. But no, he believes that his judgment is not wrong."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man went to speak again:

"So, can you get in touch with the wrong person, right?"

Fang Lang glanced at the other reporters present and said maliciously:

"If he remembers correctly, their rule is that each person can ask one question. That gentleman obviously violated the rules. He was willing to answer that question from me. It's your fault for preempting one of their questions. I hope my

Other colleagues will forgive me."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused to give everyone time to react. When the reporters heard this, they all showed dissatisfaction and began to accuse the guy of being unruly.

The middle-aged reporter didn't care at all, he still looked at Fang Lang with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.

"He felt that it was a waste of opportunity when he asked me about his mistake. The current mistake is not the same as the isolation period a hundred years ago, so why can't we get in touch?

If I have the courage, I can go directly and apply for an interview with the wrong party. If they believe that I can pass the review, they will definitely welcome me very much."

That answer obviously did not satisfy the journalist friend, so he couldn't help but prepare to ask again. But the colleagues around him were already on guard against him wasting everyone's precious opportunity to ask questions again, and directly pushed the wrong party aside, leaving the middle man to ask.

Nian almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Fang Lang spoke with concern on his face:

"We don't want crowds, please pay attention to safety, and don't want stampede accidents. They have a good chance of asking eight questions.

Okay, I'll give the opportunity to pick up Dong Lai to my female reporter friend."

A female reporter with burgundy hair, who was looking very smartly dressed, saw that she had been spotted, and even said:

"Hello, General Ge Dong! This is Diana, a reporter from "Dechen Xibao". The question he wants to ask is: As a Chinese, you are wrong about the two current regimes in China. Who do you support?"

It has to be said that those reporters didn't even have a fuel-efficient lamp, so they kept asking questions that were obviously pitfalls.

Fortunately, Fang Lang Cuo had already prepared for this. Cuo Fang nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"Although he is a Chinese, his current status is that of a rear admiral of the Brazilian Navy. Therefore, he is not qualified to serve as China's foreign affairs leader.

If I ask him who he supports, he can tell me that he respects the Chinese people's choice."

Fang Lang's answer obviously disappointed the beautiful reporter. But fortunately, he did not continue to ask questions like the middle-aged male reporter in front of him, but silently stepped back.

Seeing this, Fang Lang clicked on another middle-aged man who looked a little short and fat, with a piece of Mediterranean Sea on his head and said:

"I'll leave a question to my journalist friend."

The man was so happy that he squeezed forward a few steps, getting as close as possible to Fang Lang, and then said impatiently:

"General Ge Dong, as far as he knows, you are less than twenty-five years old, but you are already a rear admiral of the Brazilian Navy, and you are also in charge of Brazil's powerful aircraft carrier battle group.

Are generals of that age unique in the world? He wants to know how you obtained that status? Is there any unknown outside transaction involved?"

That obviously aggressive question made Fang Lang narrow his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the bold guy in the east for a while.

Governor Grantham on the side also frowned slightly, but the Commander of the Navy in Hong Kong glanced at Fang Lang playfully and said nothing.

Fang Lang did not get angry, but said to the Mediterranean man in a calm tone:

"That journalist friend, please introduce yourself first."

The Mediterranean man didn't seem to be afraid at all of what Fang Lang would do to him, so he said directly without caring:

"General's Court, is he Jack from the Sunday Herald?"

After the wrong party finished his introduction, Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:

"It seems that Mr. Jack made some misunderstandings about him. My understanding was obviously incomplete. Did he join the Brazilian Expeditionary Force as a soldier? He originally served in the Army and was transferred to the Army after being injured in the European War.

The naval logistics force has successively served as captain of a transport ship and a captain of a destroyer, and sank many German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean, thus protecting the smooth flow of European logistics supply lines.

After the end of the European War, he led the fleet to join the Pacific battlefield to fight against the Moonmen. Speaking of which, he also contributed to the liberation of the port city.

His current status was earned bit by bit through his military exploits, and now I actually questioned his military rank and whether there was any outside trading.

Then I wonder what I did for that war? What contribution did I make to Hong Kong City?"
