Chapter 786 Women hold up half the sky
"Hello, Chief of Staff. I am a reporter from Chongqing Daily. I would like to ask, after the Battle of Central Henan started, there were rumors that many local officials fled Central Henan. Is this true?"
Wang Meng glanced at Chen Bulei jokingly and smiled strangely.
"Mr. Bray, can I answer this question truthfully?"
Chen Bulei's face turned red and green. He didn't expect that Chongqing Daily would ask such a question. Don't they have brains?
But since he asked, I can't just not answer, right?
"Chief of Staff Wang, you are the protagonist of this press conference, and you have the final say."
Wang Meng nodded with a smile.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether officials from various places in central Henan have fled their territories, but when we went to Luoyang and other places, the local government buildings were indeed empty, without any staff.
As for seeing the local officials and license plates in the rear, you have to look at the previous reports, I don’t know about this.”
"I am a reporter from the Dagang Daily. I would like to ask if the Independent Column is going to return Zhengxian, Kaifeng, Luoyang and Xuchang to the central government after it finishes fighting in central Henan?"
Wang Meng squinted his eyes and looked at the annoying reporter from Dagang Daily, who was indeed the defender of the Chongqing government.
"My journalist friend, aren't the troops of the Independent Column part of the National Revolutionary Army? Aren't we under the control of the central government?
If we are not restrained, I am afraid my soldiers will immediately shoot and kill those troublemakers who speak rudely to the independent column! "
The reporter from Dagang Daily was speechless. He had thought that the unruly Wang Meng would deny their "occupation" of various places in central Henan, but he did not expect that he would take a low profile and classify himself as part of the central government.
"Uh, Chief of Staff Wang, since you admit that you are part of the central government, why do some government officials want to return to their original stations to continue to perform their duties, but nothing happens?"
"Then you should ask them yourself! As far as I know, the deputy head of a certain county did run back from the rear to pick up ready-made things, but when he heard that the Japanese had made a comeback, he ran away again? Ridiculous!
Therefore, the independent column was forced to take on the management of various places. We can't just watch the chaos in various places, right? Of course, when the election is held in the future, we must firmly support the choice of the majority of the people! "
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he winked at Chen Bulei again.
"Mr. Bray, when will our government, including the top level, be re-elected?"
A good move can divert disaster to the east.
Chen Bulei was speechless for a moment. Changing the election was like changing the mind of a god. He had only heard of it but never seen it.
"Well, it's still under study. Once there are results, we will announce it immediately!"
Wang Meng glanced around, looked at the reporters who kept raising their hands, and finally pointed to a reporter in the corner.
"That reporter, I see you have a kind face. What do you want to ask?"
The reporter looked like a tabloid reporter and was squeezed outside. Although he kept raising his hand, he never got a chance to ask questions.
"I?"
"Yes, it's you! Last question. If you don't want to ask it, I'll leave!"
The reporter held his breath, opened his filled notebook, and took a deep breath.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I'm a reporter for the Women and Children newspaper. Uh, we're a spontaneously organized newspaper, so Chief of Staff Wang may not have heard of it.
What I want to ask is, has the Independent Column taken any positive actions in terms of women's equality and children's rights? Of course, this includes some cultural propaganda and practical measures.
In addition, what opinions and suggestions do you have on the work of women and children across the country? Also, can you give a name to our magazine? "
Wang Meng laughed. This nervous reporter asked so many questions at once. If he hadn't had a clear mind, he probably wouldn't have been able to remember them all.
“You seem to have a lot of questions, but work related to women and children is the focus of our independent column, so I am willing to answer them.
First, whether the Independent Column has taken any positive initiatives regarding women and children.
In the areas managed by the independent column, Shanxi, Mongolia, central Henan and southern Shandong, we advocate the strategy of gender equality and protection of women's rights. In terms of education, employment and participation in government and government affairs, equality must be achieved, and a minimum number of female comrades is set.
For example, the number of female comrades at all levels of government should not be less than 20%. In addition, for jobs that can be done by both men and women, the factory should not refuse to hire a woman, otherwise the factory will face fines, suspension of business and other penalties!
In the areas managed by the Independent Column, we have established Women's Federations, and we can contact them if there is any unfair treatment of women and children!
As for children, we arrange for them to go to school for free. As long as they are willing, they can go to primary school for free, and at least learn to write and count. As for after graduating from primary school, they can take the military preparatory course or enter high school. Those with excellent grades can still study for free! "
The reason why the Independent Column dared to say and do this is due to their strong industrial strength. Now the people either farm or work in factories. With economic income and the solution to food and clothing, they can naturally let their children enjoy themselves. These are their own flesh and blood!
"For the second question, I dare not say much about the suggestions for women and children across the country. After all, each region has its own characteristics. But what I want to say is that as long as we keep our original intention, respect the work of women and children from the heart, and truly regard them as our sisters and younger generations, we may not necessarily be able to bring out their great power!"
Wang Meng's speech made the reporters present particularly excited, especially the female comrades.
For many years, in the remnant feudal ideology, women were merely appendages of men and had little independent value, but now finally those in power have affirmed female comrades in public.
"Third question, I can't write inscriptions, but I can write you a golden sentence, but I have to state in advance that this is not something I came up with."
The reporter nodded vigorously and stared at Wang Meng intently.
“Women hold up half the sky!”
After Wang Meng finished speaking, warm applause broke out again.
"Okay, okay, next our independent column is going to prepare a movie that will mainly tell the story of the outstanding contributions and love stories of female comrades in the War of Resistance.
Next, we will select the male and female protagonists from applicants across the country. If your newspaper Women and Children is interested in this matter, we can let you handle it!"
The reporter almost fainted from happiness; this was enormous wealth; being able to host this event would be a huge boost to the newspaper's reputation and wealth.
