Chapter 790 The False Paradise (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Whether it is a visit or a performance, in fact, it is all to prove - to prove that Nanyang is the most valuable ally.
Not only to prove to Truman, but also to the whole United States, dozens of reporters from major American news agencies accompanied Truman and his delegation on their visit to Nanyang. They used movie film, camera film and their own The eyes and pen in hand recorded Nanyang, allowing the prosperity of Nanyang to be intuitively presented to the world, of course mainly to Americans.
This is the first time that Nanyang has been fully displayed in a true sense. Although Nanyang has been constantly promoting itself in the past, it is different from this time. The accompanying American reporters used a more To introduce Nanyang to Americans in an intuitive way, they will go deep into the streets of Nanyang to understand the economy of Nanyang, go deep into the factories to understand the production, and enter the homes of ordinary people to understand their lives.
In this way, Nanyang was put under the microscope. In the next few days, Nanyang became a star in American newspapers. After all, in this special period when newspapers were full of peninsula war, Nanyang was Like a stream of clear water, it gives Americans a different feeling and allows them to understand this country, and this country is different from other countries that put aid into individual pockets and turn it into deposits. Here - in the United States With the assistance of the Communist Party of China, Nanyang has developed rapidly.
The miracle of Nanyang...has a lot to do with the United States!
Americans love to see and listen to news like this. In an instant, the pride in Americans’ hearts will double - our beautiful country is the most awesome! A small amount of money can change the destiny of a country. It is money well spent - Congress will continue to spend money.
Because of this, Nanyang is naturally very welcoming to those reporters.
Although most of these reporters came to Nanyang with Truman to report on the president’s visit, there are also exceptions among them, and Margaret Higgins is one of them. In the past few years, She has been covering the peninsula and is the only female reporter in the United States covering the Korean War.
The U.S. military naturally does not welcome this female reporter. After all, there are no eyesights on the battlefield. The death of a war reporter is not big news, but if the deceased is a woman, it will definitely be big news that will cause a sensation in the United States.
Even Mike personally came forward to try to dispel Margaret Higgins's idea, jokingly saying:
"Women should stay away from the battlefield, there are too many inconveniences here."
< br>Margaret Higgins’s answer was more direct:
“It doesn’t matter. When it’s convenient, the Marines use this side of the road and I use the other side.”
After Margaret Higgins set foot on Korean soil, many American soldiers ridiculed her.
"There are no women's toilets here."
And Margaret Higgins answered more boldly:
"There is no shortage of trees in Korea."
In the next two I don’t know whether Higgins found the bushes during the year, but she reported on the U.S. military’s operations on the peninsula all the way, from Busan to the Inchon landing, and then across the 38th Parallel to Changjin Lake.
Last year, her book "Peninsula War" was published, telling the thrilling story of the war. That same year, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism, the first time a woman had won the award.
Although she became famous, she still stayed in North Korea and continued to interview and report. Until now, after learning that President Truman visited Nanyang, Higgins immediately took a plane to Fukuoka, and then flew from Fukuoka to Chang'an to start her Nanyang trip. trip.
The president's press team naturally did not refuse this sudden addition of a famous reporter. In the past few days, she had been following Truman around Southeast Asia, but this kind of interview could not satisfy her.
Once again, after following the president to visit a residential community, her heart was still filled with too many questions. After the day's visit in Kuching, Higgin had too many questions in her heart. Si, as soon as he arrived at the bar, he walked straight to another reporter and sat down, then stared at him and said.
"Will, I think everything is deliberately arranged for us to see!"
Will Crowder is the Associated Press reporter in Chang'an, as early as three years ago He has already come here, and he is more familiar with Nanyang than others.
"What?"
Will, who was drinking, looked at the woman in front of him in confusion. Of course he knew this woman who was famous in the peninsula.
“Everything we have seen in the past two days seems to have been deliberately arranged for us!”
Higgins said in an extremely serious tone.
“Have you not noticed? What is presented to us here is not a country!”,
Higgins said as he thought about today's interview.
"It's like a paradise, without any real place!"
Then she stared at Will and said.
"Will, you are based in Nanyang. Do you have any suggestions for this?" Facing Higgins' inquiry, Will said directly.
"Get out of here!"
"What?"
Higgins was stunned and said
"You mean to leave this team, right?"
This is the best way, leave here, like ordinary people, go deep into the corners of Nanyang to conduct interviews, and then explore the dark side here.
"Yes, leave here, Margaret. Maybe then, you will see the most real Nanyang!"
While speaking, Will raised the beer glass in his hand and pointed it at Hijin Si said.
"I wish you success and hope that you can present the most authentic Nanyang to the world."
Then Will sent another invitation and invited her to have two drinks together, but Higgins Rejected outright.
After she left, another British reporter asked,
"Will, why don't you tell her the truth?"
"The truth? What truth? Is what we see real?"
Will looked at the retreating figure. said.
“For this woman who is unwilling to be alone, what we say can never compare to what she sees. Even what she sees, she will doubt! Harry, the reason why she came from the peninsula Here, we are not here to report on the president’s trip, but to find news. After all, the president’s visit to Nanyang is the hot topic right now.”
After all, Will, the “old Nanyang”. He said while looking at the Javanese girl twisting her waist with other reporters on the dance floor.
"So, she needs to present a different Nanyang to the world. This is the purpose of her coming here!"
The friend's words made Harry stare at him for a while before speaking.
"I know, you are jealous of her!"
"Haha, you are right, I am really jealous of her...because she is a woman!"
Will said in a sarcastic tone.
"Because as a woman, she can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment, even during news interviews, but even so, she will still talk about all kinds of discrimination against women in her reports, and she uses Korean bushes to accuse Does the rejection of her by the front line mean that the soldiers need to build a toilet for her on the battlefield? During World War II, we lived and ate with the soldiers. We never made fun of the soldiers, but she made fun of the soldiers. , turned into discrimination against women. She was using her gender as a weapon. Believe it or not, if I didn’t help her, she would even turn me into a buffoon in the interview - someone who discriminates against and suppresses women. Character, I heard..."
Will lowered his voice and said.
“In order to profit from the latest news, she even got into the beds of some generals. In short...this is a woman who does everything she can.”
“In this way, she is very He’s good at using his gender!”
Harry looked at the glass door of the bar thoughtfully, and Higgins had already gone away.
"People always take advantage of everything they have, including their bodies,"
Will said as he picked up his glass.
“However, I am very curious, what kind of Nanyang will she present to the world in her interview with Nanyang?”
