Chapter Twelve Answering Reporters' Questions

  ument.write(

  Bao Yulin slept very well after being injected with tranquilizers, of course, this was also related to the fact that he had received a lot of blood transfusions. After all, he had been continuously injured for some time and hadn't rested well, so he was already exhausted to the extreme. The reporters today have obtained enough information, no one is willing to stay in this simple infirmary staring at the sleeping Chinese prisoner of war. In their view, it would be more appropriate to get some gains from the management of the POW camp on how they treat prisoners of war and find something worth promoting among the Chinese prisoners of war.

  Wu Honglian was lying on her bed in the dormitory at this time, and she couldn't help but feel resentful. Although she understood that donating blood to Bao Yulian was just a political necessity, seeing her own blood flowing into the body of the murderer who killed her sister made her unwilling.

  At this time, Nguyen Ngoc was chatting with a Vietnamese journalist who had some connection with him. "Unintentionally", Nguyen Ngoc revealed a piece of news: Bao Yukun might be the murderer of Wu Hongying's sister, and he even received recognition and rewards from China for this. A Chinese newspaper even called him a "lone hero". Of course, these things are now difficult to verify, but one thing is certain: Bao Yukun has been completely stunned by the cruelty of war. It was because of this that Bao Yukun actively cooperated with the Vietnamese military, destroyed China's logistics supply point and issued an anti-war declaration. The news revealed unintentionally by Nguyen Ngoc made the journalist feel like he had found a treasure, and he even thought about how to write tomorrow's article.

  。。。。。。

  In the POW camp, everyone listened to Bao Yulin's "anti-war declaration" repeatedly played on loudspeakers, interspersed with the Vietnamese government's attitude towards Bao Yulin and its condemnation of China's sudden invasion of Vietnam. In comparison, Bao Yulin's standard Mandarin and the Vietnamese official's awkward commentary became a stark contrast, seemingly verifying the accuracy of the declaration from another angle. Everyone no longer doubted the credibility of Bao Yulin's statement. As for the low and weak voice when speaking, it was easily understood as cowardice, shame, and guilt. Even everyone thought that such a voice was reasonable.

  The POW camp had been holding Chinese prisoners for only a few days, and it was also the first time that reporters were allowed to enter the camp. They took pictures and filmed everywhere, trying their best to communicate with the Chinese prisoners. Zhang Xihang, the highest-ranking commander of the Chinese prisoners in the camp, naturally became the main target of interviews. Several reporters surrounded Zhang Xihang, asking him questions left and right. Zhang Xihang made up his mind that no matter what others asked, he would only say that he didn't know, as this was a fulfillment of a soldier's duty, all actions were subject to orders, and he would do whatever his superiors told him to do.

  The reporter was not so easy to deal with, in the press conference room, a Vietnamese journalist took out a later fake photo of Wu Hongmei's death scene and asked Zhang Xihang: Maybe you can say that as a soldier, following orders is right, but after your Chinese army invaded our Vietnam, wantonly slaughtering our country's poor people, even committing such atrocities, don't you know how to view this? Do you still think you are not committing a crime?

  Zhang Xihang didn't know what this photo was all about, but he had to respond to the provocation of the Vietnamese journalist. After all, as a Liberation Army cadre who had gone through the Cultural Revolution, he still had a certain level of political and policy understanding. Zhang Xihang smiled contemptuously at the Vietnamese journalist and said: "I think I can answer your question very well. In fact, if you think carefully, this question is not difficult to answer. Because Vietnam has already learned a lot from this experience. The answer you want, we think all our Chinese soldiers can answer you."

  Zhang Xihang suddenly stood up and walked to the window facing the playground, where most of the prisoners were exercising. Zhang Xihang loudly gave an order: "Attention!" With one command, all Chinese soldiers stopped their activities and stood at attention, waiting for Zhang's next order.

  "Listen to my order! 'Revolutionary soldiers must remember' get ready!" To avoid the entanglement of Vietnamese journalists, Zhang Xihang thought of this song "Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention", which most Vietnamese people can sing. Those who are familiar with this song know that it is our army's absolute military discipline. By using this song, we can respond to all difficult and tricky questions.

  At Zhang Xihang's order, the melody of "Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention" echoed through the prisoner-of-war camp.

  。。。。。。

  The singing voice sang on and on without stopping, no one answered the reporter's boring questions anymore, but the singing voice also answered everything.

  When the song started, Ruan Yuanjia's face changed color. He was of course familiar with the content of this song and could even sing it fluently in both Chinese and Vietnamese. When he heard the song start its second round, he understood that today's press conference could be concluded, no one would answer any more questions, as this song had answered everything.

  Gradually, the journalists figured out the meaning of the Chinese prisoners of war: as long as there were still journalists asking questions, their answer would definitely be this song.

  They were originally more interested in interviewing Bao Yulin, but Bao Yulin was in a coma at this time. Interviewing other prisoners of war, others simply wouldn't say anything else. Since this is an open prisoner-of-war camp and a window, the treatment of prisoners of war cannot be too rough, forcing them to do so, after all, it affects international influence. Continuing on has no meaning anymore, and so, amidst the singing of Chinese prisoners of war, the reporters chose to leave one by one.

  。。。。。。

  After the reporters left, Ruan Yuanjia still had something to do. He had to report the injury of Bao Yulin to his superiors. At that time, he had promised the officer in charge of escorting Bao Yulin and had dismissed the reporter with a set of words, but the situation had to be understood by his superiors. Now was the most tense time of the war, and if armed elements appeared in the area south of Hanoi at this time, it would seriously damage the security situation in Hanoi. Another point was that this matter had nothing to do with the management of the prisoner-of-war camp, but was entirely due to the negligence of the officer in charge of escorting the soldiers. He and the officer were not close, and there was no need for him to take responsibility for it. Of course, there was another reason, which was to protect himself.

  The officer in charge of escorting Bao Yu-lin, of course, knew that what Ruan Yuan-jia promised might not necessarily count, but at the time, there was no other way. If he had exposed the matter in front of so many reporters, it would have been impossible to turn back even if he wanted to. So, after letting the reporter take a photo and explaining everything else, the officer rushed back immediately. He had to report to his superior as soon as possible and find someone to vouch for him. Finally, it was best to find someone from the Ministry of Interior Affairs; otherwise, this matter would not be small.

  Unfortunately, his car wheels couldn't outrun the speed of a phone call, and by the time he returned to his unit, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were already waiting for him. In wartime, everything is simplified. The officer escorting him didn't even get to see his own family, and was directly ordered to the front line. An accident happened, and he must have been responsible. However, the key thing is that what's behind this incident cannot be leaked out.

  As a result, the few people who were originally responsible for escorting prisoners of war suddenly became the ones being escorted. However, their luck was clearly not good, and the truck that was taking them to the front line was hit by a 125mm shell near the battlefield. They never had another chance to speak again.
