Chapter 434 Plague (6)
The Japanese reporter's angry departure did not affect the atmosphere of the press conference. On the contrary, the reporters present were even more excited because not only did the golden sentences, but also the sensational news incidents also came out, and perhaps even the fierce news broke out later. Therefore, the reporters cheered up and waited for the next question.
The following question was also getting stronger and stronger. A reporter from France [Le Paris] asked: "Some people think that whether the plague can be controlled is necessary for civilization, equality, freedom, and fraternity. The East China Government obviously does not have these factors. Therefore, countries generally have no confidence in whether the East China Government can control the plague. I don't know how you view this view."
Wang Jun said: "First of all, to fight and fight the plague, we must adhere to scientific epidemic prevention, fight the epidemic, and respect scientific laws. The East China Government also guides the anti-epidemic behavior with science. As for the factors such as civilization, equality, freedom, and fraternity, no matter whether it is necessary in the fight and fight the plague, why do you say that the East China Government does not have these factors? You must know that the definition of civilization, equality, freedom, and fraternity is not decided by some countries, but by the people and the people of the world."
At this time, a reporter from Russia's [Volga] said: "The places where the plague broke out now are mostly adjacent to Russia. Therefore, we believe that if the East China government cannot control the plague well and let the plague spread from China to Russia, causing losses to Russia, we should compensate Russia."
Wang Jun said: "Plague is a very serious natural disaster. Although this time it happened in China, all countries have suffered from it in history. Therefore, when plague occurs in China, countries should not stand aside, gloat, and take advantage of the situation. Instead, they should actively assist China in fighting and extermination of the plague, and learn from China's actions to fight and fight the plague. Maybe they will be able to use it next time."
Next, the US [Washington News] reporter said: "Some countries advocate that at this time, countries around the world should immediately cut off ties with the East China government to prevent the spread of plague to other countries. What do you think of this view!"
Wang Jun said: "I am reiterating that the plague is the common enemy of the whole world. Therefore, no matter which country it occurs, all other countries should work together to deal with the threat caused by the plague. Because today occurs in China, it may happen tomorrow in other countries. Every country cannot completely get rid of the threat of plague. Therefore, other political operations should not be carried out on the grounds of plague to achieve certain ulterior motives."
Then Wang Jun answered more than ten questions in a row. It turned out that the language was vivid and wonderful. All the reporters were very satisfied. And it could also be imagined that there would be no shortage of materials in the next few days.
While Qingdao was holding a press conference, another press conference was held in the square in front of Tianjin Railway Station.
Since it is in Tianjin and the time is also a bit hasty, there are fewer foreign media for press conferences here, with only more than 20, and more are the news media of the East China Government.
After the press conference began, Zhou Weiying first spoke, introducing the six veterans who led the team and Wu Lien-teh, and then said: "Since our press conference is held temporarily, the time is very hurrying and we cannot answer too many questions. Please hurry up and ask if you have any questions, you can ask now."
The first question was a reporter from [China Times], saying: "I heard that all the six veterans who led the team this time registered themselves, right?"
Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "Yes, we all took the initiative to sign up."
The reporter asked again: "The epidemic situation in the Northeast is very tense now. It is quite dangerous to go to the Northeast at this time. In this case, why do you still have to take the initiative to sign up to the Northeast? Are you not afraid!"
Zhou Weiying knew in her heart that the reporter was intentionally speaking to him and let him have something to say, so she followed the reporter's words and said: "It is impossible to go to the epidemic area at this time to say that it is not afraid, but we are all doctors. Saving lives and helping the wounded is our obligation and our responsibility. Therefore, even though we knew there was danger ahead, we still went straight to the epidemic area without hesitation."
At this time, Liu Xueming continued: "From our elders, from the process of the establishment to the growth of the East China Government, whether in war or construction, the elders always stood on the front line, led by the leader, and took the lead, led by others to establish the East China Government and built their homes. Now that the epidemic is raging, the elders should be at the forefront of fighting the epidemic, leading others to defeat the epidemic together."
Zhou Weiying added: "And we are just the first batch of veterans. There will be more veterans behind us, and they will allow soldiers to go to the epidemic and direct this fight against the epidemic."
After saying that, there was a burst of warm applause suddenly erupting at the scene, because it was not only reporters, media people, but also many passengers watching.
Then another reporter asked: "Is it possible for you to go to the epidemic area this time to eliminate this epidemic?"
Zhou Weiying said: "Of course, we have the correct leadership of the East China Government, adhere to scientific methods to prevent and fight the epidemic, and with all the veterans, the people work together and unite, we will definitely be able to overcome the epidemic."
At this time, another reporter asked Wu Lien-teh, "Mr. Wu, you have just returned from Nanyang. This time you shouldn't have sent you to the epidemic area. Why did you take the initiative to insist on going to the epidemic area?"
Wu Liande smiled slightly and said, "Although I was born in Nanyang, my ancestral home is from China, and I have always regarded myself as a Chinese in my heart. This time I returned to China, hoping to do my own lessons and do something for the people of the motherland. The epidemic in the Northeast is raging. I am a Chinese and a doctor. Naturally, I should ignore the obstacles and save the disease. What's more, all the veterans can go to the epidemic area to save the epidemic regardless of their own safety. What's there to be afraid of?"
Then Zhou Weiying and others answered several more questions. Because there are few foreign media here, the questions raised are not sharp. Not only can the medical team members answer calmly, but they can also answer them accordingly, express their determination and courage, etc., and they also received continuous applause.
After answering 6 or 7 questions in a row, it took almost an hour to go before Zhou Weiying announced the end of the press conference. Several people hurried back to the train and continued to march northward.
On the second day, major newspapers reported in detail the content of these two press conferences, which were newspapers of the East China Government, highlighting the key reports on the behavior of six veterans bravely reversing the situation regardless of danger. For a time, the public opinion trend changed drastically, and they supported the anti-epidemic actions of the East China Government. Although a few news media still sarcastically and even slandered the anti-epidemic actions of the East China Government, their voices were obviously much smaller.
At the same time, private donations were launched in the East China Government, and people, celebrities, enterprises, factories, schools and other places were donating money and materials to epidemic areas in Qingdao, Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing and other places.
However, the whole family's anti-epidemic measures must wait until the medical team arrives in the Northeast to understand the true situation of the epidemic.
The train continued to set off from Tianjin, drove past Shanhaiguan, entered the northeastern border, and arrived in Chenyang a day later. At this time, the medical institutions in Chenyang had already received a notice, and together with the governor of Liaoning Province, Xia Songjiang, mayor of Chenyang, Zhang Jun, and others were waiting at the train station to meet with the medical team to report on the epidemic situation in Liaoning Province.
At this time, the epidemic further expanded, with 3,871 confirmed patients and 1,219 deaths; 1,922 confirmed patients, 1,372 suspected patients, 6,248 isolated people; 127 isolated streets and areas. There were 21 cities where the epidemic occurred, and the epidemic in Harbin was still the most serious, and all data accounted for more than half. However, just yesterday, plague patients were also found in Kaiyuan and Changtu counties in Liaoning Province, which also means that the plague has spread to Liaoning Province.
Xia Songjiang, the governor of Liaoning Province, and Zhang Jun, mayor of Chenyang, both know that the epidemic is developing more and more serious. Of course, the epidemic is mainly concentrated in Heilongjiang, Jilin Province, and Liaoning Province is relatively mild. Plague patients have just been discovered. If all the transportation between Liaoning and Heilongjiang and Jilin Province can be cut off at this time, the spread of the epidemic to Liaoning Province will be cut off. At the same time, Liaoning Province will strictly control it, and it is entirely possible to extinguish the epidemic at its most stage and will not develop into the situation in Heilongjiang and Jilin Province.
However, to cut off all traffic between Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, the Qingdao Executive Yuan needs to decide. Although the Liaoning Provincial Government can directly apply to the Qingdao Executive Yuan, if it can be brought into the medical team, it will be much more important to grasp, because the opinions of the medical team will be the main basis for the Qingdao Executive Yuan to prevent and fight the epidemic.
The epidemic is getting worse and worse, and Zhou Weiying suddenly felt great pressure. After listening to Xia Songjiang and Zhang Jun's suggestion, the medical team also believed that this suggestion was feasible after a brief discussion on the train. The best way to control the epidemic is naturally to cut off the virus's infection channels. Since the epidemic in Liaoning Province is relatively light now, taking measures at extreme times will have a high chance of controlling it. If the epidemic in Liaoning Province is not serious, it can also reduce a lot of pressure.
So it was decided that the medical team and the Liaoning Provincial Government would jointly issue the first suggestion to Qingdao, suggesting that all traffic between Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces should be suspended to cut off the spread of the epidemic to Liaoning Province.
