), Beijing time 1430 minutes

The stormy waves in the East China Sea have temporarily subsided, and the world holds its breath and waits for China and Japan to announce the war between them. For news media that are good at catching winds and shadows, the East China Sea War broke out that morning has no secrets and is full of variables.

Like the current "popular" practice, China and Japan have not declared war

Because the battlefield is on the vast ocean and there are only a few deserted islands nearby, China's attitude suddenly changed, and the press was not prepared enough. After the war started, China and Japan implemented strict control of ships and aircraft entering the war zone. Therefore, except for obtaining limited information from official channels, the news media of various countries could only wait patiently for the warring parties to announce the situation.

What made the reporter even more angry was that the US government, which is capable of revealing information to the press, was silent!

In the morning, the White House spokesperson held a press conference, announcing that the United States will abide by the US-Japan Security Treaty and provide support and assistance to Japan in accordance with the Logistics Support Agreement. Before the press conference ended, dozens of journalists "violately" asked about the situation of the war and had a good relationship with the press. Not only did they not reveal any news, they also gave reporters very little face. They escaped from the press venue amid the expectations of hundreds of reporters.

The reporter did not give up his efforts

n, the US Press Group and the US National News Network represent the US News quickly launched an action, using the relationship between the government, Congress, and even the intelligence department, using telephone, e-mail, or even visiting to call out the news "informer" from the bed or the conference room, using money, beauty, and even personal threats, regardless of reputation, cost, or even bad influence, spy on "intelligence" regardless of reputation, cost, or even bad influence.

It seems that it is not Japan that is fighting against China, but the United States!

At 13:30 Beijing time, the restless press finally calmed down

With the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic released a message on their official website, announcing that a joint press conference was held at the Ministry of Defense Press Release Center one hour later, media around the world pointed their cameras at Beijing and the press conference venue that was not very eye-catching in the past.

The next hour, the news was in a panic, and the grass and trees were all in the army.

The Republic arranges a press conference to hold a Ministry of Defense to show that the news about the upcoming announcement is related to national defense and military; diplomatic participation in the press conference shows that there are only two possible "external exchanges" and "national defense and military" related to foreign exchanges, one is military exchanges and the other is war conflict. There is no doubt that the news about the upcoming announcement is related to the latter.

Armistice declaration or war situation announcement?

One hour is enough to make a lot of tricks for the clouds, and to turn the hand around to make a lot of tricks for the rain.

It was at this time that the world's major news media were divided into two camps

Based on the U.S. government's tight-lipped attitude, a group of "old" media outlets have been based on the tight-lipped attitude of the U.S. government, China and Japan have limited news to determine that the situation of the war is very unfavorable to Japan. China not only occupied the Diaoyu Islands by surprise, but also gained the upper hand in the sea and air conflicts. The Chinese government will test Japan's reaction by announcing the results of the war. Japan has not released any news for a long time, and even issued a diplomatic statement after China announced its sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. First, the war came too quickly, and Japan was not ready. Second, Japan was frustrated on the battlefield. It is discussing countermeasures with the United States. The United States did not disclose the news to the press as it did during the Fourth India-Pakistan War a year ago. It has a lot to do with the fight. Next is whether the war is and whether China's military operations have reached the expected goal. Second, it depends on whether Japan admits defeat and abandons the Diaoyu Islands. Third, it depends on whether the United States will provide comprehensive military aid to Japan.

A group of "emerging" media represented by Al Jazeera believe that the war situation is in a stalemate. China failed to achieve all expected goals through the first round of military operations after the war. Japan also failed to achieve decisive victory after the war. The Chinese government actively announced the news. First, it is to cheer up the people and let the people support the government's war decisions. Second, it is to test the opponent and find out the confidence of the opponent. Third, it is to create an atmosphere of "China's victory" and to combat the opponent's fighting will. Japan is slow to respond and is related to Japan's situation. Before the United States made a statement, Japan will not only not rashly expand the scale of the war, but also do not have the determination to fight to the death with China. With the United States' announcement of its position, Japan will respond quickly. The war will not end there, nor will it suddenly expand the war's two sides will successively enter the reserve team. Without expanding the scope of the war, the victory or defeat will be decided after two to three rounds of sea and air decisive battles, and the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands and the issue of exclusive economic zone demarcation in the East China Sea.

News media in both camps have provided "evidence" to support their views

N TV station dozens of reporters from Naha Port in Okinawa and Kadena Air Force Base reported on the spot. According to the difference in the number of Japanese fighter jets taking off and returning, Japan lost 40 combat aircraft in the early stage of the war. According to the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet entered the combat state and made preparations for departure, the conclusion that the Fourth Fleet was hit hard. The omnipresent reporters even counted the number of ambulances and medical personnel entering the Japanese military camp, and concluded that the Japanese troops participated in the war.

Conclusion of major casualties

Al Jazeera does not have such a strong strength and relationship network, but it reports that Pakistani Navy and Air Force generals who did not want to be named revealed: Military reform has had a significant impact on the Chinese team, and it is difficult for the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Air Force to exert full strength in high-intensity local wars. Even if they can defeat Japan, they will pay a huge price and have a profound impact on military reform.

The audience is not interested in the "mouth battle" of the news media, but just wants to know the latest battle situation as soon as possible

The reporters in front are even more worried about the "word game" played by the host and the commentator. They want to seize the advantage as quickly as possible, prepare press releases, and think about key issues.

An hour is not long

As Zhao Rundong and Huang Guowei entered the venue, the press release center of the Ministry of National Defense suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes focused on the Minister of National Defense who rarely appeared in front of the news media. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has always been highly concerned, became a foil.

"Everyone, today's press conference will be held jointly by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Defense will also hold a press conference. The Minister of Defense will attend in person. So at the press conference, please consciously abide by the venue discipline and maintain order in the venue. Now, please ask the Minister of Defense to announce the latest news."

Taking powerful steps, Zhao Rundong walked onto the podium

The reporter immediately discovered that the temperament of the Minister of Defense of the Republic is very different from that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. If Huang Guowei is a model of elegance, gentleness and politeness, Zhao Rundong is the manifestation of majesty, calmness and strength, whether it is body, appearance, clothing, expression, or behavior, Zhao Rundong is more like a veteran who has served for decades, not like an official who is polite and crafty.

"Hello everyone" Zhao Rundong's opening remark was shorter than Huang Guowei, and even self-introduction was eliminated. "For five thousand years, the Chinese nation has been praised and trusted by friendly people from all over the world for its etiquette, civilization and peace.

From ancient times to the present, the Chinese nation not only promotes peace, but also strives to maintain peace. From Zhang's mission to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet in the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng He's voyage to the West in the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese nation has been proving with practical actions that the Chinese nation is willing to develop diplomatic relations with all friendly countries in a peaceful and friendly way, promote economic and trade exchanges, and deepen cultural exchanges. The Chinese nation has made unremitting efforts to build a peaceful, prosperous and equal world, but the Chinese nation will never

Tolerate the invasion of the sovereignty and territory of the country and nation. Two thousand years ago, the Han cavalry general Huo Qubing said, "Why do you want to be a family before the Huns are destroyed? A thousand years ago, in order to pacify the Turks, the Tang Dynasty once led its troops to advance westward for five hundred years ago. The Ming Dynasty general Qi Jiguang had annihilated the invading Japanese pirates in the Chinese nation. He also proved with actions that the Chinese nation can cast a plow as a sword with absolute courage, defeat all powerful enemies that invade the sovereignty, territory and dignity of the Chinese nation, and defend national interests with wars of blood and fire."

No one interrupted Zhao Rundong's words, reporters were busy recording

"After our side announced our sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, Japan, despite our strict warnings, blatantly invaded our country's territory, territorial waters and airspace, and had military conflicts with our border guards, injured our warships, sunk our submarines, and shot down our planes, causing casualties to our officers and soldiers. In order to defend national sovereignty, territory and dignity, we launched a resolute counterattack against them. So far, our army has annihilated the Fourth Japanese Fleet that invaded our territorial waters, and sank nine warships including the Hinata, the King Kong, and the Ai, and annihilated five submarines, including the Xichao. Our army is still in the battle to defend airspace, shooting down more than 40 fighter jets, including F-15-2; in the battle to defend the territory, our army shot down three helicopters, annihilated a total of 54 invading combatants."

The reporters put down their pens and cast their surprised, puzzled and suspicious eyes at Zhao Rundong.

The Minister of Defense ignored the reporter and said in an orderly manner: "In the battle to defend sovereignty, territory and dignity, our army annihilated the invading powerful enemies and completed the first phase of the combat mission excellently. On behalf of the government of the Republic and the Chinese nation, we once again severely warned the Japanese authorities that provoked the incident, immediately stopped the military operations that invaded our country, recalled the military forces that invaded our territory, territorial waters and airspace, and severely punished the war criminals who provoked the war. If the Japanese authorities are obsessed with it and continue to invade our country's territory, territorial waters and airspace, our army will resolutely fight back!"

Zhao Rundong's words stopped abruptly, remembering that they couldn't react for a while

The press conference host walked onto the podium and announced that Huang Guowei had made the news. The reporter sitting in the front row suddenly came back to his senses.

Before the reporter could ask questions, Zhao Rundong strode off the podium and returned to the backstage.

When Huang Guowei issued a diplomatic statement, many reporters issued the first press release, making the news just announced by the Republic's Minister of Defense to the public

In the eyes of most reporters, Zhao Rundong has made it clear enough that Huang Guowei's statement is irrelevant

damn it*
