Beiyang 1917

Wang Geng was going to meet the reporter, but Short and Kelly refused to agree at first, but finally the old dean Wilson who heard the news came to make a final decision, and held a short press conference in the hospital conference room to give the media an explanation. Patients who have not yet recovered can only answer no more than 10 questions that the media cares about, and each media is only allowed to send one representative to ask one question.

Impatient reporters rushed to the conference room of the hospital to seize a favorable position. Here, Kaili changed Wang Geng into a thick hospital gown and a long padded gown. The central hospital still had 24-hour heating in February, but Kaili said that the meeting room It is empty and few people go there, for fear that Wang Geng will catch a cold.

Not only that, but the tall girl carefully helped Wang Geng to walk away, making the elder who was walking with Dr. Short feel very uncomfortable, and turned around and said pretending to be angry,

"Kai Li, you girl, don't you usually rush to help grandpa? Why do you leave your grandpa aside now that you have a young life-saving hero? Since this Chinese student is awake, let him Just go by yourself."

"Oh, grandpa! Wang Geng is sick and doesn't know the way. How can I help him? Besides, what kind of vinegar are you eating? I see that your body and bones are stronger than usual. Isn't it enough to have Xiao Te to accompany you? At most, I will massage your shoulders when I go home at night."

The girl blushed while yelling at her grandpa, and turned to Wang Geng in a low voice,

"Short is my grandfather's student, and he is also the successor that my grandfather focused on training. Although he is young, his medical skills are still very good. He said that you are most likely to wake up today, and you really woke up!"

Although Wang Geng said that his arm was supported and occasionally rubbed against the girl's delicate breasts, the touch was excellent, and the beautiful and shy expression that Kaili noticed afterwards made the little brother Wang below him a little bit eager to move, but immediately after this But in his heart, he thought of his deputy commander's girl who was still looking forward to him in the compound of the military region in his previous life, and his mood darkened for no reason.

Seeing that Wang Geng's complexion turned pale, Kaili became anxious, thinking that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly reached out to touch the guy's forehead, Wang Geng instinctively turned his head slightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab the girl's soft and slender hand , and then released it like an electric shock, and said softly,

"Thank you Kelly, I'm fine, just thinking of family far away! So a little sad!"

The girl felt in her hands the touch when she and Wang Geng touched each other just now, but her heart was a little thumping in disappointment, my God, does this young Chinese have a family?Is he already married?Or have a Chinese fiancée?The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking,

"Mr. Wang, who else is in your family? Where is it?"

Wang Geng frowned while recalling as he walked, and then hesitantly replied, "I am an orphan, and I can't remember anything from a long time ago, only remembering the years when I went to study in the United States."

"I'm sorry, but you don't have a fiancée in your hometown? I heard that in your China, there are even weird things like marriage with your fingertips." Kaili looked down at her own toes and walked, but there was a hint of fiancée in her voice. A surprise she didn't realize.

"I came to the United States to study at the age of 16. Where did I get my fiancée! This is definitely not there." Wang Geng sighed in his heart. From the memory of the original owner, he discovered that during the seven years in the United States, this Wang Geng He is outstanding in his studies, looks handsome, and is also a good athlete. In fact, there have been many bold Caucasian girls in the school who took the initiative to pursue him, but he rejected them all. I don't know what this guy thinks?

"Liar! Really? You are so good, even if you don't have it in your hometown, I don't believe that no girl will fall in love with you in the United States. I heard from that Mark that you were a talented student who graduated from the Department of Literature at Princeton University before you joined the West Point Military Academy. You are also the running back of the football team in college, or the main player of the school swimming team, a handsome guy like you with excellent style, will there be no girls chasing you?"

Kelly asked in a low voice with a shy and blushing face, while her heart was beating wildly!I don't know how the girl who has always been reserved and proud is so bold today.

The two chattered as they walked, and the old dean in front of the corridor turned around and shouted, "My little Kelly, you have to hurry up! Thinking of your way of walking, the reporters might not be able to wait!"

"Hey, there should be people who like me. I don't know what's going on. It seems that I don't have the feeling of calling... Let's go, your grandpa is urging me!"

Wang Geng hurriedly dealt with the beautiful nurse beside him, while speeding up his pace.

Fortunately, the long corridor ends soon, and there is a press conference in the conference room just around the corner!

When we got to the conference room, we found that the conference room was full of journalists and photojournalists.

"Mr. Wilson, how is the situation of the rescued little girl and her family?" The reporter of the "New York Post" was the first to ask the question.

Dean Wilson frowned, and Kaili unconsciously leaned into Wang Geng's ear and whispered,

"The little girl and her mother are fine. They were picked up shortly after entering the hospital! I don't even want to thank you, the lifesaver! It's a shame for the Americans!"

"The little girl who was rescued belonged to mild drowning. Fortunately, our rescue hero was a high-achieving student at West Point Military Academy. He passed first aid as soon as he landed and saved the little girl's life! Otherwise, it might be too late for the ambulance to arrive! Little girl She and her mother were discharged home yesterday afternoon!"

Dean Wilson glanced at Wang Geng appreciatively, and then replied.

The reporters present spontaneously applauded enthusiastically. Obviously, if he did not know how to give first aid, and did not give first aid immediately, even if the little girl was caught ashore, her life might still be in danger. Wang Geng, a life-saving hero, is worthy of the name!

"Dr. Short, our West Point hero passed out after being admitted to the hospital yesterday. How do you judge that he is most likely to wake up today? Not many people used to enter this comatose state for weeks, months or even years. Is there anyone who can't wake up!"

The questioner was a reporter from the "New York Herald". Obviously, this guy has a very good relationship with the New York City Central Hospital. This is basically making a name for Short and the New York City Hospital.

Hearing this, Wang Geng looked at the complacent Wilson and Short, and smiled inwardly. It seems that the unspoken rules of the press are familiar in this era.

Sure enough, Kaili bit Wang Geng's ear quietly and said, "This reporter from the Herald is Short's high school classmate, and the two have a very good relationship. The boss of his Herald is also a shareholder of the hospital." One", the girl said, Wang Geng touched the girl's hand lightly, the girl blushed again, then she raised her head bravely, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Dr. Short cleared his throat and said confidently,

"Jumping from the 41-meter-high Brooklyn Bridge, if the angle of entry into the water is unlucky, and the person is photographed on the water, it is not very different from the photograph taken on the concrete floor. The degree of danger is very high. Ten people jump at least one Eight will be unconscious!"

"As for our rescue hero, although I didn't see his posture when he entered the water, judging from the results of the physical examination, he should have entered the water vertically at that time. Although he suffered a lot of shock, fortunately, his body is very strong. , The water quality is also very good, and the vertical entry into the water minimizes the impact, so he can surface quickly and save the little girl ashore!"

Seeing his disciples talking nonsense, Old Wilson couldn't help but nudged the guy with his elbow, "Hurry up and stop talking so much, that Chinese youth needs to rest instead of listening to your nagging here!"

Short was urged by his teacher, blushed, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said quickly,

"In a word, the Chinese people's physical fitness is very good, and he didn't faint when he was hit by the impact, so his brain should only be concussed and not injured, so I judge that after he slept and regained his strength, he has a lot of pain." Great chance to wake up today! It's over!"

"Mr. Wang Geng, I heard that you were an excellent cadet captain at West Point Military Academy. You have studied in other people's four-year courses for two years, and you have been advocating that the U.S. government should enter the war as soon as possible. Is there such a thing? As a Chinese, you, What is the reason for dragging the United States into a war on another continent?" The reporter of a New York tabloid, Deutsche Zeitung, asked the question.

This question is actually both sensitive and explosive. Dean Wilson frowned and couldn't help reminding Wang Geng,

"The theme of this press conference is the Brooklyn Bridge rescue incident. You can refuse to answer anything that has nothing to do with it!"

Kelly couldn't help but glared at the tabloid reporter angrily. The reporter was obviously from a non-English-speaking country, and his spoken English was broken and thick.

A few reporters were booing, and the "Deutscher Zeitung" reporter muttered, "Dare to do it and dare to do it. Did Wang Geng say such a thing? Readers have the right to know the truth!"

"Of course I said that just now, when my classmates at West Point came to see me, I also said once that for the sake of world peace, a big country like the United States should shoulder its own responsibilities. I think the sooner the United States participates in the European War The better, participating in the war will greatly contribute to peace, and not participating in the war will greatly hinder peace! As for the reasons, it is most appropriate to answer with the school motto of West Point, that is, responsibility, honor and country!"

Wang Geng paused for a moment, and looked around at the reporters holding interview notebooks in front of him.

"For the sake of peace-loving countries and people all over the world, and for the honor of soldiers, soldiers should bear the responsibility of saving world peace. I personally believe that at this moment, the United States should become one of the leading forces for world peace. Neighbors are on fire. At that time, if a sympathetic country like the United States does not come to the rescue, who will come to the rescue if the United States itself catches fire in the future?"

"That's great!" "That's right!" "The United States should become one of the leading forces in maintaining world peace!" "Being a coward is not in line with the status of the United States as a great power!"

Most of the reporters applauded, and many people were even more enthusiastic. They wanted to shake hands with Wang Geng to express their approval!

There were discordant voices, another reporter from the tabloid "Le Figaro Tribune" yelled in a high-pitched voice,

"Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are also neighbors of the United States. When neighbors fight, how can the United States just sideline the fight? Only neutrality can maintain an objective and fair position!"

Wang Geng smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said disdainfully,

"If there is justice, there is more help than if there is no justice. If neighbors fight, there must be a reason for the fight. I believe that the United States, like other peace-loving countries in the world, has its own judgment ability and knows who is right and who is wrong."

"But what if the U.S. makes a wrong judgment? What if Germany and Austria are the victims? Wang Geng, you are a Chinese, and you keep upholding world peace. Why don't you ask your government to participate in the European war, instead of fooling the U.S. The people?" The Deutsche Zeitung reporter yelled unwillingly.

This question is rather sharp but to the point, you can’t just fool the Americans to die as cannon fodder, why don’t you fool you Chinese to participate in the European war?

Wang Geng smiled and said, "Of course I also appeal to our government to participate in the European War as soon as possible and make our own contribution to the maintenance of world peace! Although our country is still very weak in all aspects, as long as we don't give up hard work and struggle, China will grow up slowly one day."

"Wang Geng, are you bragging? Since Yuan Shikai's death, your China is now torn apart and you can't take care of yourself. You still talk about maintaining world peace, not to mention traveling thousands of miles to participate in the European War. It is Qingdao. Do you dare to take it back? You can't ask Japan for help! You His strength is insignificant, and he knows how to fool others to die all day long!" The guy from the "Le Figaro Tribune" said relentlessly.

Wang Geng was furious when he heard the words, but his face remained calm. He glanced at the reporter and said,

"Every country has a day when it grows from weak to strong, from poor to rich, but in this process, if we give up our belief in maintaining social justice and world peace, we can only be walking dead. In order to maintain world peace, China will do as much as it can, and it will never back down easily! As for Qingdao you mentioned, since Qingdao belongs to China, I believe it will still belong to China sooner or later.”

Kaili saw Wang Geng's face turned gloomy from the side, the girl was a little anxious, she hurriedly held his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Wang Geng, some reporters are like this, why bother to be as knowledgeable as a villain. important!"

Wang Geng suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at the reporter, and tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "Chinese people have always loved peace. I believe that the American people, like most people in the world, also love peace! We welcome friends to come Being a guest at home, and sometimes encountering some unreasonable guests who do some inappropriate and domineering things, I believe that the world has its own judgment of right and wrong, and a big country like the United States will not stand by all the time?"

A few journalists here with a strong sense of justice do not like to see the same provocative words from the reporters of the "Le Figaro Forum" and "Deutsche Zeitung". But Americans are a nation that respects the strong.

As long as there is real ability, Americans will never deny their conscience and say they can't see it. At this moment, Wang Geng is not only a hero who can jump off the bridge to save others, but also an outstanding young hero with ideals and abilities. At this time Skin color will never become an obstacle for Wang Geng, but it will deepen these reporters' curiosity and understanding of Chinese people!

"Mr. Wang Geng, I am very curious about how you view the seven years of studying abroad in the United States. Will you stay in the United States for development in the future? Or, will you become an American citizen?" The reporter from the New York Times asked the question.

"I have learned a lot in the United States and made many American friends. I am very happy to live and study here, but I am a Chinese. This will not change at any time. China is very weak now, but it will not always be Weak and small, China is divided now, but there will always be a day of real reunification, and I believe everyone here will see that day coming! I hope that I will always be a friend of the peace-loving American people! As for whether to become an American citizen, I have no choice. It will affect how I feel about America and the American people at this moment!"

Wilson and Short nodded slightly after hearing this, and the reporters below wrote down in their interview notebooks silently. Propagating the excellence of West Point Military Academy, now everyone finds that a Chinese hero who is likely to be the future has been unearthed!

Of course, it may be a big talker, this yellow-skinned Chinese youth is either talking big and bragging without drafting, or a guy with strong self-confidence, ambition and talent!

At the end of the press conference, all the reporters rushed back to publish their articles, muttering to themselves:

Wang Geng, a Chinese cadet of the West Point Military Academy, will definitely become a news figure in major newspapers in New York in the near future!
