Volume 5 The History of Trees Chapter 701 Interview with The New York Times

Then, accompanied by Zheng Dacheng, the supervisor of the Second Arsenal of the National Defense Forces, and Luo Wucheng, the logistics chief of the Zhuque Legion, Wang Maoru visited the old arsenal of the National Defense Forces near Huanggutun, Chenyang, where all miscellaneous weapons that were eliminated or replaced were placed here. At the same time, the renovation workshop of the Second Arsenal also transformed some of the weapons in the caliber, so that some rifles could be loaded with the 77th concave edge of the National Defense Forces. The gun modification workshop was also busy, with hundreds of rifles successfully modified every day and were sent to all parts of the country, either directly equipped to the reorganized army, or sent to the armed police force. However, there are still a large number of rifles made by various countries. How to deal with them as soon as possible is a big problem, because not all rifles can be modified successfully.

"Which weapon is most successful in modification?" Wang Maoru asked Zheng Dacheng.

Zheng Dacheng said: "It is easy to modify the Hanyang-made Mauser rifle and Nasinmogan (water-alian beads), but the Japanese gold structure and the 38th style are not easy to modify, and it is a bit difficult to modify the 77 with a 65-caliber caliber."

"That is, it is difficult to modify weapons made by Japan?" Wang Maoru asked.

"Yes Xiushuai." Zheng Dacheng said.

Wang Maoru frowned, "This little Japanese is a grandson. They only use such a small caliber rifle in the world, and the bullets are still long. Could it be that the Japanese devils are short and like to make bullets longer? What is said to make up for what they lack?" The subordinates laughed strangely.

Feng Yinbin whispered a suggestion: "Shushuai might as well sell these Japanese weapons and other miscellaneous weapons directly to Japanese workers' armed forces. Nowadays, the workers' armed uprising in Japan is just absent. We have more than 4 million yuan in Japanese weapons here. I think if half of them are taken out and handed over to Japanese workers' armed forces, the Japanese government can also make the Japanese government extremely overwhelmed. Aren't the Japanese causing trouble for our China? How about we causing trouble for them?"

Wang Maoru laughed and pointed at Feng Yinbin and said, "People say that Zhang Kui'an's national talent is unparalleled. But you, Feng Jihua, is really the rebirth of Jia Xu, a poisonous soldier of the Three Kingdoms. OK, as you suggested, but you have to make a long-term plan for this matter, and you can't be too anxious to make a move."

Feng Yinbin hurriedly said: "Minister believes that Gao Jianxun, the Military Intelligence Department, is the best. First, they are the intelligence agencies that hide deeply and are not easy to be discovered into our country. Second, their agents in Japan are familiar with Japan. They are not allowed to send a new person to the host." Wang Maoru nodded and ordered Gao Jianxun to arrive in Chenyang immediately to deal with the old batch of weapons.

After Gao Jianxun arrived in Chenyang, he heard Wang Maoru's thoughts and said that this matter was easy to do. It was just a little difficult to transport. There were too few cargo ships transported from China to Japan. If it was smuggled, it was necessary to make a long-term plan. Wang Maoru said that this matter was left to you to handle. You must arm the Japanese workers' strength and make the Japanese government frustrated. Gao Jianxun smiled and said that I was best at causing trouble for others. Xiushuai, please wait for good news. Then he returned to Beijing and immediately mobilized personnel to launch an offensive against Japanese agents. A large number of North Koreans were used by Gao Jianxun and went to Japan for sabotage work.

When Wang Maoru returned to Beijing again, he had only three days since he resigned as the interim prime minister. In the past three days, in order to prevent harassment, he went to Chenyang and returned to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of National Defense only three days later. Although major and minor matters are now handled by Jiang Fangzhen, many decisions must be approved by Wang Maoru. Jiang Fangzhen is a very good adviser and handles the matter in an orderly manner, saving Wang Maoru a lot of effort. After handling official duties, it was already dark. Feng Yinbin reported that there was a reporter from Times magazine John Benjamin Powell who came to visit. He had waited in the morning until he had no meal at night, hoping to give Wang Maoru an exclusive interview. Seeing that the work at hand was over, Wang Maoru nodded and accepted the exclusive interview. He also said that since they had not eaten, they should have dinner together.

John Benjamin Powell has interviewed many civil servants. He is also a special correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and Miller Review. This time he interviewed Wang Maoru as an interviewer for the American Times magazine, and gave Wang Maoru an exclusive interview to occupy the newspaper's government page.

After Feng Yinbin led the Powell reporter to Wang Maoru, what Powell saw was a man who was lying in front of the copywriting and constantly stating and thinking, indicating that Feng Yinbin should not disturb Wang Maoru. However, Wang Maoru raised his head alertly and met Powell and his three reporters, one was a bearded photographer, the other was a stenographer wearing glasses, and a beautiful female secretary with blonde hair and blue eyes. Wang Maoru smiled and walked over and said in not very pure English: "Welcome, Powell reporter and your assistants."

"Genius General." Powell was surprised and Wang Maoru's English, although he was not skilled and a little erroneous, and had some grammatical errors, but this did not prevent an American from understanding the friendliness of Chinese people. Just like even if a foreigner speaks awkward Chinese, the Chinese could understand what he meant.

After everyone sat down, Feng Yinbin poured tea for all the guests. Wang Maoru smiled and said, "This is a unique tea in our country. Jasmine tea has a fragrant and mellow taste, especially for women, it has the effect of beautifying and beautiful."

Powell's female secretary said happily after hearing this: "Is this true? Can I still beautify it? I have two freckles on my face, can I remove it?"

Everyone laughed, and Powell said helplessly: "Helena, pay attention to his words and deeds."

Helena immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking. Everyone laughed for a while. Wang Maoru said, "Your female secretary is very interesting."

Powell shook his head and said, "Actually she is..."

"I am John's female secretary, Helena von Laurenson, and I'm very happy to have met the General." The girl said in a crisp voice, like a happy angel, which made these big men feel cheerful.

"Hello, I'm Wang Maoru." Wang Maoru replied with a smile, and then said: "It seems that you are a German noble."

Helena said "ah", covered her mouth, and then said, "Do you know everything?"

Wang Maoru said: "The surname 'Feng' cannot be used randomly in the West, just like the Spanish 'saint', it must be descended from a noble family before it is allowed to be used. Are you a German?"

"Yes, I'm German." Helena said proudly.

Powell properly stopped Helena's trouble. This was his exclusive interview, not Helena's. Powell said: "Genre General, can we start now?"

Wang Maoru clapped his hands, and several guards walked in with the set meal. He smiled warmly and said, "Wait for a moment, I can't let my guests interview on hungry. Since no one has eaten, my guards have not eaten either. Now let's have a meal, come and have a 'Chinese meal'."

This dinner was not a real meal, but a unified set meal. On the silver aluminum plate, there were two meals and one soup, two dishes were stewed with potatoes, and the other was pickled pickles, spicy and sour cabbage, and the soup was also light mushroom soup. The guards also thoughtfully prepared spoons for the American reporters so that they would not make awkward with chopsticks. Powell and others were a little moved to see that Wang Maoru and the guards were eating the same food. This kind of equality of officers and soldiers was rare in many countries. After everyone finished eating, they entered the official interview.

Powell's first question is about the Republic of China running for president. Now the four presidential candidates seem to have hope but all have little hope. If there are no more than half of the presidential candidates in the end, can they really be elected as president even if they exceed one vote? When there are no more than half of the conditions, presidential candidates do not represent the vast majority of citizens. What do Powell asks Wang Maoru about this question?

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "It is important to represent the opinions of the majority of citizens, but it should be noted that the illiteracy rate in our country has reached a terrible 90% after the Republic of China. From this point of view, if we want to choose a representative representing the vast majority of the people, then this person must be illiterate. But obviously, none of the candidates for the national president are illiterate. This is because under the current circumstances, we allow or have to choose a way that suits the country and guides the country forward by elites. This is also the reason why history is created by great men. These four people are elites, and do not represent this illiterate who accounts for more than 90% of the national population, but we must choose a person who is more suitable for national interests. There is no doubt that our country's electoral system is fair, open and fair. As far as I know, the idea of ​​founding the United States is freedom and democracy, and our country's election also reflects freedom. China is free and democratic." He also said: "Everyone rest and have a drink of tea."

After a short break, everyone sat together again, and Powell continued to ask: "You have unified the army, don't you have the idea of ​​running for president?"

Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "First of all, I am a soldier. The countries around China are too complicated. Many people are eyeing our country. I choose a country between national territorial integrity and personal rights. Moreover, I think that all the four presidential candidates have enough talent and patriotic enthusiasm. They are all my predecessors, and I will choose to support them."

Powell asked again: "The total number of your country's army has always been a mystery. I don't know if I can tell how many troops you have accepted?"

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "As long as Chinese men invade foreign countries, they are all soldiers. Our country has 440 million people, and there are 440 million soldiers."

"You mean everyone is a soldier?" Powell asked.
