Chapter 908: Spokesperson: Liang Dong
Liu Shuxiang brought Sun Yinting's idea of "alliance". Leng Feng also had this idea, but he was not easy to raise.
Once the Japanese army regained its strength, western Shandong would definitely be at the brunt of the brunt, and northern Henan would be much safer.
Once the Third Army cannot stop the Japanese army's troops, it will inevitably retreat. Where can it retreat and where can it reassure Sun Yinting and others?
Only in northern Henan, they had long seen Leng Feng's ability and means, and were righteous. They said they did not have the intention to covet Luxi, and after they got it, they gave up.
This time, a large number of arms supplies were also provided, which restored the Third Army to its vitality in a very short period of time.
Although there are reasons for relying on oneself as a barrier, it is much better than many people who just think about letting someone block bullets but don’t give any benefits.
Of course, this alliance cannot be written on paper in black and white. It will become a place of collusion and confrontation with the central government. When caught, the yellow mud fell into the crotch. It was either shit or shit.
In addition, the Shandong Civil Army also had such ideas. After Zhang Minghan, the commander of the First Division of the Shandong Civil Army, also expressed the meaning of "alliance" to Leng Feng after he said goodbye.
Leng Feng agreed verbally, but how to form an alliance needs to sit down and discuss carefully and make a charter. Even if it is a verbal covenant, it must have content, right?
Yan Xunpu still wanted to see him in Xinxiang, and Leng Feng sent Liao Sen to accompany him.
With the retreat of the National Army troops in the Fifth War Zone, the gentry and celebrities in Xuzhou City also moved westward with their families. Xuzhou under the Japanese rule must have had a hard time.
Some people were well-informed. They heard that the New First Army recovered northern Henan, but they did not go to Zhengzhou, went south to Wuhan, and went to Chongqing, but instead brought their families to Xinxiang.
The population of Xinxiang has actually increased a lot in a short period of time.
New people always have to buy a home business, find a place to live, and spend money on eating, drinking, urinating, sleeping, right? This has brought a brief prosperity to the market in Xinxiang.
Thanks to the existence of the New First Army and Leng Feng, the magical anti-Japanese general, Xinxiang has also become a place for many journalists to yearn for. It turns out that most of the reporters who conducted battlefield interviews in Xuzhou have arrived in Xinxiang.
The reporter's sense of touch is sometimes sharper than that of soldiers and politicians. If it were just the national army to recover Xinxiang, there would not be much attention.
But this person is mysterious. Leng Feng, a famous anti-Japanese general who has never appeared in public, and is also a young general. His achievements are impressive. It can be said that in the past six months, his reports can be seen almost every day in the newspaper, but there has never been a real person's photo.
Mysterious and young, this is a very attractive factor for journalists.
Domestic journalists and foreign journalists have gradually increased from the New First Army to occupy Xinxiang. The streets of Xinxiang are white-skinned, blue-eyed, and holding cameras in their hands.
Even occasionally you can see Kim's foreign female journalist.
Leng Feng is very vigilant about reporters. These people appear to be harmless and have no lethality, but the pen in their hands is very lethal. Moreover, it may not be all purely identities that are the best concealment of identity for spies.
Therefore, Leng Feng quickly ordered the Xinxiang Municipal Government and the Party Department to jointly formulate the "Temporary News Control Measures" and the "News Reporter Registration Regulations", which will register journalists entering Xinxiang and impose certain restrictions on journalists' interviews, and of course there are also protective measures.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the "news spokesperson" system established by Leng Feng himself.
The "News Spokesperson" debuted for the first time after the Defense Work Conference in North Henan, on the afternoon of June 18.
For journalists, such a new thing is news.
Not only were reporters who had already arrived in Xinxiang, but also some reporters from Wuhan and Zhengzhou rushed over when they heard the news from their peers. However, this press conference adopted an access system and had to apply three days ago. Chinese and foreign journalists registered in the Xinxiang Municipal Government News Management Office were qualified to enter only after they were qualified to enter. Moreover, the ratio of photographers and news interview reporters was one to two, and the number was controlled within one hundred.
Leng Feng also had a headache for a long time for the candidate for this news spokesperson. This person had to be able to live up to his image first, and he would definitely not be able to grow a crooked person, at least it was a face problem.
If you can't have bad knowledge, you must at least graduate from high school. It is obviously not possible to find a rude man to be a news spokesperson.
Respond quickly and have a flexible mind. The spokesperson needs to answer questions from reporters. Some of the reporter's questions are quite tricky and weird, and may also be difficult. If you don't react quickly, you will sit down.
If you have good eloquence, you must know at least one foreign language. Whether it is English or Japanese, you can always know one. Of course, in the early stages, the standards can be lowered.
After all, it is difficult to find people who meet the above conditions, and those who meet the conditions do not meet the spokesperson.
However, for the first time as a news spokesperson, I definitely couldn't handle it casually. Leng Feng thought about it and chose someone.
Liang Dong!
Liang Dong is the chief of staff of the new 4O Brigade, and his rank is colonel. He will not be able to take the rank of major general in the future. Liang Dong is flexible and has a high level of knowledge and can speak a foreign language and Japanese.
It's certain that he has a flexible mind, but his eloquence is average, but it's much better than before, at least he's not stage frightened.
The most important point is that he can understand Leng Feng’s intentions, at least he will not say the wrong words on such occasions, which is the most important thing.
When choosing Liang Dong, Leng Feng also means to fire a shot. If this first shot is not good, no matter how good you do in the future, the meaning will be reduced.
The conference was selected in the banquet hall of Xinxiang Hotel. Before the start, Leng Feng called Liang Dong to him and named him.
"Military, you are driving a duck to put it on the shelves. I am the only one who holds a gun and asks me to take a microphone. This is really too difficult for me." Liang Dong has been called over to conduct secret training, mainly for etiquette, as well as speaking and answering questions, etc.
Liang Dong is also the acting mayor of Xinxiang City, and he has a lot of things to do, but he has to spend at least four hours every day for special training. Fortunately, Zhou Tong is a good at handling government affairs, and basically takes over 70% of the cumbersome government affairs in Liang Dong. Liang Dong is only responsible for handling some important things and takes time to be this "news spokesperson".
"This news spokesperson is the first in China. This is an honor that has been recorded in history. Don't want it, some people want it."
"I don't want it, military throne. I feel uneasy when facing those reporters. You know, our domestic reporters are fine. I don't ask too difficult questions. But those foreign journalists are all difficult to deal with. I heard that several of the foreign journalists who came this time are quite famous. When they were in Xuzhou, they were influential figures and were not easy to fool." Liang Dong said with a bitter face.
"Smile, isn't you escorting you to the execution ground, as for that?" Leng Feng calmed down and couldn't answer questions. You can use the diplomatic rhetoric I taught you and adapt to the situation. You still have this ability."
"Yes, the military seat."
"It's the first time, errors are allowed, but you have to control the entire scene. You are the center of this press conference. Those reporters are not. There are also the last questions from the reporters, one question for each person, five Chinese and foreign journalists. Don't worry, I have made arrangements and will not let the situation get out of control."
"It turns out that the military throne has made arrangements long ago, so I'll be relieved."
"Don't let you be careful because of this. Even if you are fully prepared, accidents will still arise. You must concentrate and understand."
"clear."
"Military seat, the time has come, the reporters have arrived, just waiting for Mayor Liang!" Guo Weiquan pushed the door from outside. The office was owned by Nie Haifeng, and Leng Feng temporarily requisitioned it.
"It's almost done, keep calm and finish what you should say first, pay attention to the control words, don't have too many physical movements, but don't be too hard." Leng Feng finally reminded.
"Don't worry, military throne, is this more terrifying than charging in the battlefield with the Japanese guns and bullets?" Liang Dong smiled.
"Yes, this is what you want." Leng Feng laughed and gently hammered Liang Dong's chest.
"Staff, wait for news of my victory."
Leng Feng nodded. He was quite relieved about Liang Dong. This subordinate he brought out had never disappointed him.
At the press conference, Liang Dong walked in with Liang Dong wearing a capable general, Guan Xia, in Chang's uniform. He was not qualified to wear the rank of major general, but Leng Feng assigned him in advance.
Crack Crack Crack Crack…
The spotlights lit up everywhere, and the photojournalists standing in the back raised their cameras to take pictures of Liang Dong.
This is the first time Liang Dong has been photographed in his life, but he did not feel that he often walked onto the podium with a calm expression. When ordinary people suddenly took photos by dozens of cameras, they would be panicked and even show fear. This is a natural reaction of people, but if this expression is photographed and placed in the newspaper.
Then the fun is too great. Even if these reporters have undergone strict review, what they can do in three days is limited. Who knows who will be there?
Although Leng Feng did not appear at the scene, he was paying attention to him next door. If there was any movement, someone would come to report it at any time. He was not completely at ease with such a scene.
At least he was next door, which also calmed Liang Dong's heart.
"My friends in the press, my name is Liang Dong. Liang is Dong Liang's Liang, and Dong is Dong Liang's Dong."
Any reporter who can understand it will smile in his heart. Generally, such press conferences are more serious, but the person in Xinxiang does not seem to like to face the reporter directly, but instead creates such a "news spokesperson". It seems that in the future, the relevant military and political policy explanations will be explained by this "news spokesperson".
With a relaxed little humor, the atmosphere at the conference suddenly became much more relaxed.
Some reporters didn't know who Liang Dong was, but fortunately, they prepared a simultaneous English translation on the spot, and translated Liang Dong's words into English while simultaneously translating them.
This setting is so considerate for the Western reporters present. They do not have such thoughtful simultaneous translations in interviews or attending press conferences in other places.
Obviously, all of this is prepared and carefully designed.
Chapter completed!
