Chapter 888 Press Conference (2)
The content of the press conference was mainly prepared by the royal side. All Yang Sikang needed to do was to attend, nothing more.
The rhetoric was naturally prepared by the royal side. Some issues that needed to be dealt with were naturally glossed over, and then other things were emphasized to divert attention.
These are all common but effective little tricks, and they are not new to Yang Sikang.
Normally, if things continue to develop like this, we only need to select a few people for questioning, and then we can declare it over.
After all, the number of people who can ask questions is limited, so it is actually possible to control it in advance.
However, because Yang Sikang received so much attention, the royal family could not ensure that all the reporters present at the press conference had contact with them, so some more pointed questions were inevitable. Fortunately, the royal family had rich experience with Princess Diana and Prince of Wales, so it was not too difficult to deal with them.
About halfway through the press conference, Yang Sikang noticed several unusual reporters.
Although they sat casually near the center and did not deliberately hide themselves or reduce their presence, they occasionally chatted with each other and cast their eyes on him many times. As the press conference progressed, these people watched his reactions more and more while doing other things.
Yang Sikang looked around, and while the Prince of Wales was answering a less important question, he pretended to be bored and began to fiddle with the documents in front of him, and adjusted the position and angle of things such as pens and water cups on the table.
As expected, when the Prince of Wales finished answering the current question, those who had not responded looked at each other, quickly raised their arms together and began to scramble for the opportunity.
Yang Sikang did not take action immediately, but continued his performance, pretending not to care about other people's interviews and acting bored.
After two more questions, there was less time left for questions. Yang Sikang retracted his gaze and looked at the reporters whose faces were almost red in their efforts to gain an opportunity, and smiled slightly.
"I noticed that this reporter seemed eager to ask his own questions. What do you want to ask?"
Yang Sikang took the initiative to speak, and Guanghui stopped immediately.
Guanghui originally planned to ignore those reporters who obviously came with other purposes, and ask a reporter from the Royal Family or at least a reporter from a media that could maintain a certain degree of objectivity to ask questions.
But since Yang Sikang took the initiative to speak, there was no reason for her to stop him. Moreover, she had seen all of Yang Sikang's actions just now, which were obviously inconsistent with his usual personal style and habits. In other words...
The corners of Guanghui's mouth curled up slightly, and the Prince of Wales next to her looked at her in confusion.
"what are you laughing at?"
"It looks like Commander Yang is going to take the initiative to find trouble with those who want to cause him trouble."
The Prince of Wales raised her eyebrows, because she had been a little absent-minded these days regarding the monarch's affairs. Now hearing Guanghui say this, she looked around for a few seconds and then realized the problem.
"I see. You're an idiot who didn't realize you've walked into a trap."
The reporter who was named by Yang Sikang was also stunned. He never thought that he would be named by the target personally.
However, everyone else naturally looked at him at this time. After all, as one of the attendees, Yang Sikang also had the right to answer questions, and the fact that Guanghui and Prince of Wales did not object also proved this point.
The reporter immediately realized the situation and stood up impatiently. He gave a detailed self-introduction as politely as possible, which he had prepared long ago. Then he licked his lips with satisfaction, suppressed his excitement, and put on a righteous expression.
"Hello, Mr. Yang. Regarding the recent online rumors that your fleet contains ships that were abandoned in the history of the Royal Family, is this true? Have you used the Royal Family's data and designs to build ships that have never been built in history?"
Yang Sikang smiled and nodded, admitting frankly:
"Yes, there are two ship girls in my fleet who have no prototype ships in history. Their prototype ships only exist in the design and have not been actually built. Therefore, they have no prototype ships and no original ship names."
"But their designs are based on abandoned plans from royal history, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"So, since they are from the royal design, should you hand over their manufacturing methods to the royal government? And since you can build such a ship girl, it means that you have the technology to directly build a ship girl based on the design plans that exist in history. Should this technology be made public? After all, each camp has more or less its own designs and abandoned plans in history, and these plans do not belong to you in essence, but to the historical heritage of the camp, right?"
The reporter is clear and purposeful.
Although he spoke very quickly, he was very clear and it was obvious that he had made sufficient preparations in advance.
He looked at Yang Sikang expectantly, but the expression on his face seemed very resolute, even with an air of being ready to die bravely.
He was indeed looking forward to it, he was looking forward to Yang Sikang denying his statement. No matter from which angle the commander refuted, he had his own arguments. This kind of thing was originally difficult to explain, as long as he found a suitable entry point, he could continue the argument.
Of course he knew that his few words would be meaningless and would not change anything, but he didn't care.
He doesn't have any noble ideas, and the main reason he asked this series of questions is to show his own value, get attention and gain benefits. Secondly, such questions can make him stand on the side of the people.
For most people, no matter how strong or powerful Yang Sikang is, it has nothing to do with them directly. However, in the modern environment, it is clear that the strength of the navy affects the international voice. As an island country, the royal family is highly dependent on coastal defense.
This is where he was clever. He first pointed out that Yang Sikang's proposal came from the royal family, and hinted that the two ships in the proposal should belong to the royal family, and then raised the follow-up questions.
First occupy a high point in terms of morality and interests, and then look down on the other party and raise questions.
No matter how the other party responds, as long as he stands against the interests of the majority, he has already lost in public opinion.
The reporter was very satisfied. He had studied this set of tactics for a long time before deciding to use it now, because he knew very well that although the scale of this press conference was not the largest, it would definitely be the one with the most attention.
If everything went well, he should be able to receive a private call from White Eagle soon after this press conference, and then get in touch with certain people, and embark on the comfortable and pleasant path of getting paid to do things.
Come on, take it, and walk right into my trap.
He looked at Yang Sikang expectantly, but the other party was also looking at him, with the smile on his face unchanged.
A feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart, but before he could think, Yang Sikang's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"What you said seems to make sense, but I don't want to do it."
Unexpected, but also expected.
He breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Why? Could it be..."
Before he could continue to set the trap, the other party answered first:
"I didn't ask anything because I didn't want to. It's that simple. Maybe tomorrow morning when I wake up I'll suddenly change my mind because of a delicious breakfast. Who knows. But at least now I don't want to, for no reason."
Yang Sikang spread his hands:
"I will give if I am willing to give, and I won't give if I am not willing to give. What is there to say?"
