In addition to General Makunda and his entourage, the people attending this press conference were Zhou Jiping and several important figures from the Southern Tribal Alliance. However, as soon as the press conference began, everyone pointed their finger at the rotating chairman of the Southern Tribal Alliance.
Zhou Jiping attended as
Although he didn’t know much about Muntaya’s upcoming general election and current development situation, judging from the content of the questions asked by reporters, Zhou Jiping still keenly felt that Muntaya is currently in a special historical stage of development.
But at the same time, Zhou Jiping, who is self-aware, also knows that this is the first time he has participated in this kind of press conference. He knows that he must be cautious when dealing with reporters, and must not say even one sentence wrong. After all, the Southern Tribal Alliance is now
The relationship with the two generals Ma has not been clearly determined. Once the words are lost, it may cause unnecessary trouble to the tribal alliance. So from the beginning of the press conference, Zhou Jiping secretly made a decision for himself: Say more.
"Bullshit, nice words, less truth" and strategy
A local reporter asked in indigenous language: "Mr. Chief, as the first rotating chairman of the newly established Southern Tribal Alliance, what do you think of the upcoming election in Muntaya?"
This question is not big or small. But for Zhou Jiping, who is currently waiting and watching, this question is not something he can answer at all. But at this time, Zhou Jiping's quick response helped him. Zhou Jiping acted seriously.
replied in indigenous language: "If I am elected, I will ask General Makunda to manage the Zongjupa area."
Hearing Zhou Jiping's answer, General Makunda and others, Zhou Jiping and his entourage, as well as the reporters who could understand the indigenous language, all burst out laughing. When a translator translated Zhou Jiping's words into English and French, everyone present smiled.
smile
Several experienced reporters immediately understood after hearing Zhou Jiping's answer to the first question. I'm afraid the tone of tonight's press conference has been set, and the reporters won't have anything to be excited about.
Despite the harvest, Zhou Jiping's quick wit and humor still left a deep impression on everyone present.
Another reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Chief, I am Fargas, a reporter from Muntaya Radio and the newly established Muntaya TV. The question I want to ask you is: How do you feel about the current situation in the Zonjupa area?
If General Makunda becomes the next President of Muntaya, how do you think the government he presides over will be better than the current government of General Masuari?"
This is it! Zhou Jiping secretly sighed in his heart, reporters are so ignorant. With his current status, how can he comment on these two guys? I am afraid that neither of them can be offended by him. If he is wrong, this Liangzi will
After joining this group of reporters, he has no other skills but the ability to professionally gossip and pick apart right and wrong.
Thinking this in his heart, Zhou Jiping's expression on his face remained calm and calm: "I'm sorry, Mr. Reporter, I will only stay in the Zonjupa area for two days. When I go to see General Masuari and carefully inspect the entire Muntaya area.
Later, I may be able to answer your question."
There is no direct answer to the second question. Although this question is indeed a bit difficult, most reporters here have an understanding of Zhou Jiping: He is a cunning guy, more like a standard politician.
At this time, Robert, who was familiar with Lais, stood up: "Hello, I am the East Africa correspondent of the French newspaper "Le Figaro". As far as I know, Mr. Chief is working on building a huge army. May I ask?
Where did the huge funding come from to build this army?”
Not counting the things about this guy and Lais, just the fact that he is a Frenchman is enough to make Zhou Jiping feel uncomfortable. The French are not only more than a hundred former invaders of China, but also the invaders who burned down the Old Summer Palace in their early years.
Taya became the initiator of the colonial state. Muntaya's current poverty and backwardness cannot be said to have nothing to do with the behavior of the earlier French colonists.
What makes Zhou Jiping even more uncomfortable is that when he first met Robert in the morning, he thought he was a very easy-to-get-together person. But now when he asked questions, he asked such tricky questions. Could it be that this was from a reporter?
Occupational disease? Thinking of this, Zhou Jiping decided to do something wrong: "Accidental, this is a very accidental thing."
Having said this, Zhou Jiping paused deliberately, arousing the curiosity of the people present: "I found treasures on the grassland, a lot of treasures..." When Zhou Jiping mentioned the treasures, the people present suddenly became energetic.
, who doesn’t have a curiosity mentality? Journalists as media practitioners are no exception.
Zhou Jiping saw that the fire was ready, and continued: "I found it in a long tunnel. I got into the tunnel, and then walked along the tunnel. After walking for many days, I finally reached the entrance of the tunnel and waited for me to walk out of the tunnel.
Look, it turned out to be the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, so I took back those things that were taken from Montaya to France two hundred years ago, and I became rich."
When he first started talking, what Zhou Jiping told was like a treasure hunt story. But when he got to the middle of the story, many people understood that this was the indigenous chief who was causing trouble. As soon as Zhou Jiping finished speaking, a few people were the first to react.
The local indigenous reporters looked directly at Robert and other white reporters and laughed. The laughter looked extremely happy and unrestrained.
In this land, there are many people who have prejudices against the set of ideas promoted by Europe and white people. They heard Zhou Jiping ridicule Robert and his colonial ancestors for their theft. Some of the more radical nationalists
Zhou Jiping suddenly felt good about him
Robert knew the indigenous language. Zhou Jiping's sarcastic answer made him slightly embarrassed. However, he ignored the embarrassment and continued to ask: "What is your belief? God, Buddhism, or communism."
ism?"
"I'm happy to tell you that I don't have any faith yet. If you can make the people on the grassland free from hunger, disease, and the threat of war, and be able to keep their homes safe and live happily, you will make me believe.
I believe in whatever I believe.” Only now did Zhou Jiping realize that he was quite eloquent. He continued: “But I think more than two hundred years ago, people in this country believed in the Bible in the hands of white people, but when the indigenous people held Bibles in their hands,
Only then did I realize that I had nothing else but the Bible. I think all people with a brain will learn this lesson."
