Chapter 177 Press Conference

Prince Gong committed suicide by jumping off the building, which shocked the entire Qing Dynasty in an instant, and the Northeast was greatly affected.⊕:⊕Piaotian Literature Network⊕ The last suicide note he left caused a stir. The middle school accused the Northeast Autonomous Region of having no king or father, ignoring the highest authority of the Qing court, abolishing the imperial examination, derogating Confucianism, destroying the foundation of his ancestors, colluding with foreigners, and damaging the interests of the Qing Dynasty. Each of them was a serious crime of raiding the family and extermination in the early years!

But I don’t know what, but for what reasons, the Northeast Autonomous Region actually allowed the full text of this suicide note to be published in newspapers such as the declaration and the Northeast Daily that had great influence in the Qing Dynasty. For a time, public opinion in the Qing Dynasty was in an uproar, and Confucian scholars in some areas even launched protests against the Northeast Autonomous Region.

The next day, Northeast China held a press conference to answer questions from all parties regarding Prince Gong’s suicide. The reporters who came to interview were both local reporters from the Qing Dynasty and foreign journalists, and foreign journalists accounted for the majority. Obviously, they were very interested in what was happening in Northeast China.

The Northeast spokesperson is a female official. Although it is not uncommon for female officials in Northeast China, it is the first time that a woman will play the protagonist on such an important occasion. Moreover, the spokesperson is also a foreigner.

"Welcome to attend this press conference. I am the spokesperson of the Northeast Autonomous Region, Kate Tracy. I released a diplomatic message from the autonomous region. Madagascar Prime Minister Renee Leali Rivoni will pay a friendly visit to our Northeast Autonomous Region on the 23rd of this month. I believe that the relationship between the two sides will develop in the long term after this meeting. The following is the time for free asking questions."

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen. The French reporters present immediately protested, believing that Madagascar was a French colony. The Northeast and Madagascar were interfering in France's internal affairs in disguise. The venue was in chaos, but reporters from most countries watched coldly. Since the end of the war in the five Southeast Asian provinces, the relationship between the Northeast Autonomous Region and France has remained very tense. The French were driven out of East Asia and Southeast Asia and maintained a small-scale existence in Japan and French India. The civil exchanges between the two sides were not active. In the eyes of the French, the Northeast and even the entire Qing Dynasty were very dangerous and backward areas. Only a small number of French scientists came to the Northeast to join the Dashang Industrial Laboratory to engage in research. However, compared with other countries, the number was only more than 300.

The security guard was originally planning to send the French reporter who was causing trouble out of the conference room, but was stopped by Kate Tricie.

"The Kingdom of Madagascar is an independent country, and even if they want to join any country, they must decide for themselves. Any act of force by force will be strongly condemned by the international community. The French Republic ignores this most basic principle of state-to-state relationship and uses the so-called inheritance of expatriate heritage to demand protection of the Sacarabs in the northwest of the island. The Kingdom of Madagascar certainly rejects this unreasonable demand for rough interference in internal affairs. We regret to see that the French Republic, which claims to be civilized and democratic, ignored this reasonable demand and blatantly bombarded the port of Marenga and landed in port Tamataf. The entire invasion process caused a large number of casualties among local civilians, but the people of the Kingdom of Madagascar launched a severe counterattack against France's rough invasion and successfully defeated the shameless behavior of the French."

The French reporters present were speechless, but they started to make a fuss, shouting that the invasion was spreading civilization... Most of the reporters present were speechless. Tracy did not stop the security guards' actions this time. Two emotional French reporters were politely invited by the security guards to leave the conference room, and the press conference could finally be carried out normally.

A middle-aged man wearing a jacket and braids stood up and asked, "Ms. Tracy, I am the reporter of the declaration. How do Northeast China view the fall of the Qing prince? Is there any other forces behind this?

The topic that everyone is most concerned about is of course the suicide of Prince Gong. Although there were French journalists disruptions, they finally returned to the focus.

"According to the current conclusion reached by the police, Prince Gong's death was his own choice, and there was no evidence of homicide. In order to receive this visit from the Qing court, the Royal Hotel specially vacated two floors to accommodate them. There was a Qing court's own guard at the entrance of the stairs, which could not be entered by outsiders, and there was no problem with safety, so it was impossible for other forces to be involved in it. Next!"

"Hello, I am a reporter from the London Times. May I ask the spokesperson why the Prince of Qing chose to jump off a building in the Northeast and committed suicide? Is he forced to make such a regrettable choice because he was forced by the outside world?" At this time, a foreign reporter stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, I don't make any speculations about the specific reasons why Prince Gong chose to leave the world in this way. Next."

"There were rumors that Prince Gong was suspected of participating in the riots in Gongchangling area. I wonder if Prince Gong's death was implicated in this matter?"

"The last press conference has made detailed explanations on the issue of the Gongchangling riot, and this press conference will not be repeated."

"So what is Northeast China's attitude towards Prince Gong jumping off the building and committing suicide?"

"The Northeast Autonomous Region Government expresses regret. According to our consistent attitude, life is precious, so no matter what the other party's identity is, whether it is a civilian or a prince, we treat everyone equally."

"What do you mean to the suicide note left by Prince Gong?"

"The full text of the suicide note has been published in various newspapers, and we have not concealed it at all. This is because our Northeast Autonomous Region Government has a clear conscience."

"So Ms. Tracy, do the Autonomous Region Government have any comments or refutations about the accusations in Prince Gong's suicide note?"

Tracy stopped, and then said to everyone present: "In recent years, everyone has seen the development of the Northeast Autonomous Region. People live and work in peace and have no worries about food and clothing. It was once the dream of the people of China's dynasties, but now it has been realized in the Northeast. We dare not boast about how perfect our work is, but looking at the sincere smile on the people's faces is the best reward for us. We do not believe in the destiny, but only believe in hard work and sweat, and respect science and laws. We do not realize that those born in the royal family should have more than

We have more rights: grain is produced by farmers, products are created by workers, the country is surrounded by soldiers, and goods are transported by merchants. Everything is created by ordinary people... And those literati who only know how to work for the imperial family are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains. Apart from doing things, they do not have any survival skills, and they do not understand science. Social development cannot be separated from the increase of social wealth, while those who cannot create social wealth only think about despicable occupying wealth that should not belong to them every day..."

Tracy's words were very plain, but it shocked all the reporters present, among which the Qing Dynasty reporter was the most shocked. Originally, the male reporters of the Qing Dynasty had a more joke-looking mentality when it came to the launch of a female foreign press spokesperson, but today's remarks completely changed their impression.

In Chinese history, Wang Zhu's poor and poor mood, which is inferior to all but high in reading, has always been surrounded by those slanderous literati who play with pens, just like the Five Fingers Mountain of Tathagata, which has never been able to turn over forever.

However, today, after a foreign woman shouted words of respect for workers and science in front of everyone, the shock of those present can be imagined.

On Ning Island, Wang Yi finished reading the Northeast Daily the next day and was on the same phone call with Yang Qiuxing.

"You can really do it, and you actually let a white woman be our press conference."

"Don't this seem to be Rong Nai in our Northeast Autonomous Region? Besides, Tracy's Chinese is also passed, which is higher than that of ordinary Chinese people. The main reason is that she admires you! If she was twenty years younger, she might have gone to chase you." Yang Qiuxing teased.

"Go to you!" Wang Yi said angrily.

"By the way, sir. Prince Gong's death has indeed caused us a lot of trouble. Confucian scholars in Beijing, Tianjin, Suzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places have all broken out in demonstrations against us."

"Tsk!" Wang Yi sneered: "How are we? We have a relationship with these people. Cheng Tiangou meddled with rats, just for the sake of the black hat on their heads in the future!"

"You can't say that, these Confucian scholars have no life to support their lives except for this skill. To put it bluntly, it's a waste of time to survive. If they don't worry about us, that would be strange."

"It seems that Prince Gong also saw this and left this last letter, using his death to force us to oppose those Confucian scholars!" Wang Yi never looked at Prince Gong. After all, this man was cowardly for the throne and could not fight for Xianfeng, and later he could not fight for the wife of Xianfeng. However, this time he committed suicide by jumping off the building, which made Wang Yi somewhat change the cowardly prince. This man was not as incompetent as he thought, and very scheming.

"What should we do?"

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "If you don't even want your life, what else can we do? Those Confucian scholars like to make trouble. As long as we are not in chaos in the Northeast, they will do whatever they like? But once they start to destroy the good situation in the Northeast, they will not be able to say it at that time, and they can't afford to say it!"

Yang Qiuxing heard the coldness and knew that this was the best solution at present.

"It's good!"

After putting down the phone, Lin Tae-hee walked in and said, "Sir, Mr. Nikola Tesla is looking for a meeting outside."

Wang Yi was puzzled. After this man came to Northeast China, he had been working in the Dashang Industrial Laboratory. I heard that he also fell in love with an American female researcher who was facing you. The two of them had a hot fight. I don’t know why I came here today...
