    Wang Geng wanted to meet the reporters. Short and Kelly did not agree at first. Finally, the old director Wilson, who came after hearing the news, made the final decision and held a brief press conference in the hospital conference room to give the media an explanation. Wang Geng as  Patients who have not yet recovered can only answer no more than 10 questions that the media is interested in. Each media is only allowed to send one representative to ask one question.

    Anxious reporters rushed to the hospital conference room to grab a vantage point. Here, Kelly put on a thick hospital gown and a long cotton gown for Wang Geng. The weather in February was that the central hospital still provided heating 24 hours a day, but Kelly said that the conference room  It was empty and few people went there, fearing that Wang Geng would catch cold.

    Not only that, the tall girl also carefully helped Wang Geng away, which greatly annoyed the old dean who was walking with Dr. Short in front. He turned around and said pretending to be angry,

    "Kelly, you girl, aren't you always rushing to help your grandpa? Now that you have a young rescue hero, why are you leaving your grandpa aside? Now that this Chinese student is awake, let him  Go on your own."

    "Oh, grandpa! Wang Geng is a patient and doesn't know the way. How can I not help him? Besides, why are you so jealous? I see that your body and bones are stronger than usual. Isn't it enough to have Xiaot by your side?  At most, I¡¯ll massage your shoulders when you get home at night.¡±

    While the girl was yelling at her grandpa, her face turned red, she turned around and whispered to Wang Geng,

    "Short is my grandfather's student, and he is also the successor whom he has 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 woke up as expected!"

    Although Wang Geng's arm was supported and he inadvertently rubbed against the girl's delicate breasts, the feeling was very good. Kelly's beautiful and shy expression when she noticed it made Wang Geng below him a little eager to move, but then this happened  But in his heart, he thought of the deputy commander's girl who was still waiting for him in the military compound in his previous life, and his mood darkened for no reason.

    Seeing that Wang Geng's expression turned bad, Kelly felt anxious, thinking that he was feeling uncomfortable somewhere, so she hurriedly reached out to touch the man's forehead. Wang Geng instinctively turned his head slightly and reached out to grab the girl's soft and slender hand.  , then let go again as if he was electrocuted, and said softly,

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

    The girl felt the same feeling on her hands that she had just touched with Wang Geng, but her heart was beating wildly. Oh my god, does this Chinese young man have a family?  Is he already married?  Still have a Chinese fianc¨¦e?  The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, due to some strange combination of circumstances,

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

    As Wang Geng walked, he frowned and recalled, and then replied hesitantly, "I am an orphan. It seems that I can't remember things from a long time ago. I only remember the years when I studied in the United States."

    "I'm sorry, but you don't have a fianc¨¦e in your hometown? I heard that in China, there are such weird things as getting married on the fingertips." Kelly looked down at her toes as she walked, but there was a trace in her voice when she spoke.  A surprise that she didn't realize she had.

    "I came to the United States to study when I was sixteen years old. Where did I find a fianc¨¦e! This is definitely not the case." Wang Geng sighed inwardly. From the memory of the original owner, he found that during the seven years in the United States, this Wang Geng had a lot of trouble because of his outstanding performance.  He has excellent academic performance, good looks, and is a good athlete. In fact, there were many bold white girls in school who actively pursued him, but they were all rejected by him. I don¡¯t know what this guy was thinking?

    "Liar! Really? You are so good. Even if you don't have one in your hometown, I don't believe that no girl will fall in love with you in the United States. I heard that Mark said that before you joined the West Point Military Academy, you were a talented student who graduated from the Literature Department of Princeton University. At the same time,  You are a running back on the college football team, or a main player on the school swimming team. A handsome guy like you who is excellent in sports and culture, will no girl pursue you? "

    Kelly asked in a low voice with a shy and blushing face, while her heart was pounding!  I don¡¯t know why the girl who has always been reserved and proud is so bold today.

    The two of them were chattering as they walked. The old dean in front of the corridor turned and shouted, "My little Kelly, you have to hurry up! If you think about it, the reporters won't be able to wait!"

    "Hey, there must be people who like me. I don't know what's going on. I don't seem to have the feeling of calling Let's go quickly, your grandpa is urging me!"

    Wang Geng speeded up his pace while dealing with the beautiful nurse beside him.

    Fortunately, the long corridor ends quickly, and around the corner is the press conference in the conference room!

    When I arrived at the conference room, I found that the conference room was already crowded with news and photographers.

    "May I ask for your authority?"Dean Xun, how are the situation of the rescued little girl and her family?  "The reporter from the New York Post asked the question first. This newspaper founded in 1801 has always been famous for its sensationalism and gossip.

    Dean Wilson frowned, and Kelly 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 come to thank you for being a lifesaver! It's really an embarrassment to the Americans!"

    "The little girl who was rescued suffered from mild drowning. Fortunately, our rescue hero is a top student at West Point Military Academy. He saved the little girl's life by providing first aid as soon as possible after landing! Otherwise, it might be too late for the ambulance to arrive! The little girl  She and her mother were discharged from the hospital and returned home yesterday afternoon!¡±

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

    The reporters present spontaneously and enthusiastically applauded. Obviously, if the little girl did not know first aid and did not provide first aid at the first time, the little girl would have been fished ashore and her life might still be in danger. Wang Geng, a life-saving hero, is worthy of his reputation!

    "Dr. Short, our West Point hero fell unconscious after being admitted to the hospital yesterday. How did you determine 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 even wake up?¡±

    The question was asked by a reporter from the New York Herald. Obviously this guy has a very good relationship with New York City Central Hospital. This is basically making Short and New York City Hospital famous.

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

    Sure enough, Kelly bit Wang Geng's ear for some reason and said, "This reporter from the Herald is Short's high school classmate. The relationship between the two is very good. His boss from the Herald is also a shareholder of the hospital.  "One", the girl said, Wang Geng touched the girl's hand lightly, the girl's face turned red again, then she bravely raised her head, 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 when entering the water is unlucky and the person is photographed on the water, it will not be very different from being photographed on the concrete floor. The degree of danger is very high. Ten people jumping  At least eight will be unconscious!"

    "As for our rescue hero, although I did not see the way he entered the water with my own eyes, 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 was very strong.  , the water resistance 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 that the disciple was boasting and talking, Old Wilson couldn't help but bumped the guy with his elbow and said, "Hurry up and stop talking so much. That Chinese young man needs to rest instead of listening to you nagging here!"

    Being urged by his teacher, Xiaote blushed, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said quickly,

    "In a word, the Chinese people's physical fitness is very good. He didn't faint when he was hit for the first time, so his brain should have been concussed rather than injured. So I judged that after he took a nap and recovered his strength, he had a lot of energy.  The big chance is to wake up today!¡±

    "Mr. Wang Geng, I heard that you were an outstanding cadet captain at West Point Military Academy. You studied someone else's course for four years in two years, and you have been advocating that the U.S. government should join the war as soon as possible. Is this true? As a Chinese,  What are the reasons for dragging the United States into a war on another continent?" asked a reporter from a New York tabloid, Deutsche Zeitung.

    This issue is actually both sensitive and explosive. Dean Wilson frowned and couldn't help but remind 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 stare angrily at the tabloid reporter. The reporter was obviously a guy from a non-English speaking country, and his spoken English was poor and strong.

    Several reporters were making noises, and the reporter from Deutsche Zeitung muttered, "How dare you do it? Did Wang Geng say such a thing? Readers have the right to know the truth!"

    "Of course I have said it. Just now, when my classmates at West Point came to see me, I also said 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 joins 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 reason, the most appropriate answer is to use the school motto of West Point, which is responsibility, honor and country! "

    Wang Geng paused for a moment and looked around at the reporters in front of him who were holding interview notebooks and taking shorthand notes.

    "For??Peace-loving countries and people all over the world, for the honor of military personnel, it is the military personnel who 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. The neighbor's house is on fire.  If a compassionate country like the United States does not come to the rescue, who will save the United States if its own house is on 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 inconsistent with the United States' status as a great power!"

    Most of the reporters cheered, and many people were even more excited. They came forward to shake hands with Wang Geng to express their approval!

    There were discordant voices. A reporter from another tabloid, Le Figaro Tribune, shouted in a high voice,

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

    Wang Geng smiled slightly when he heard this and said disdainfully,

    "When neighbors fight, there must be a reason for the fight. I believe that the United States, like other peace-loving countries around the world, has its own ability to judge and know who is right and who is wrong."

    "But what if the United States makes a wrong judgment? What if Germany and Austria are the victims? Wang Geng, you are Chinese and you keep claiming to safeguard world peace. Why don't you ask your government to participate in the European War? Instead, you are here to fool the United States.  People?" the reporter from Deutsche Zeitung shouted unwillingly.

    This question is sharp but to the point. You can¡¯t just trick Americans into dying and becoming cannon fodder. Why don¡¯t you trick you Chinese people into participating in the European War?

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

    "Wang Geng, are you bragging? Since Yuan Shikai's death, your China has been divided and you have nothing to do but talk about maintaining world peace. Not to mention traveling thousands of miles to participate in the European War, even Qingdao. Do you dare to take back Qingdao? You are not allowed to ask Japan for help!  Your power is insignificant, but you spend all your time trying to trick others into dying!" said the guy from the "Le Figaro Tribune" reluctantly.

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

    "Every country has a day when it goes from weak to strong, from poverty to prosperity, but in this process, if we give up our belief in maintaining social justice and world peace, we can only be a walking zombie. In order to maintain world peace,  China will fight as hard as it can and 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.¡±

    Kelly saw Wang Geng's face turned gloomy at the side. The girl felt a little anxious and hurriedly held his sleeve and whispered, "Don't be anxious, Wang Geng. Some reporters are like this. Why should you behave like 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  When I am a guest at home, I sometimes encounter unreasonable guests who do inappropriate and overbearing things. I believe that the world will decide what is right and wrong, and a big country like the United States will not just stand by and watch, right? "

    Several journalists with a strong sense of justice here also dislike the provocative words of reporters from the "Le Figaro Forum" and "Deutsche Zeitung". Although as American journalists, they are not without prejudice against Easterners, especially Chinese,  But Americans are a nation that respects the strong.

    As long as there is real ability, Americans will never ignore their conscience and say they cannot see. At this moment, Wang Geng is not only a hero who can risk his own life by jumping off a bridge to save others, but also an outstanding young hero with ideals and abilities. At this time  Skin color will never be an obstacle to Wang Geng. On the contrary, it deepens these reporters¡¯ curiosity and understanding of Chinese people!

    "Mr. Wang Geng, I am very curious about what you think of your seven years of studying abroad in the United States. Will you stay in the United States for development in the future? Or, in other words, become an American citizen?" The question was asked by a reporter from the New York Times.

    "I learned a lot in the United States and made many American friends. I enjoy living and studying here, but I am a Chinese and this will never change. China is weak now, but it will not always be  Weak, China is now divided, but there will be a day when it will be truly unified. I believe that everyone here will see that day coming! I hope that I will always be a friend of the peace-loving American people. It doesn¡¯t matter whether I want to become an American citizen or not!  ShadowingIt affects my feelings towards the United States and the American people at this moment!  "

    Wilson and Short nodded slightly after hearing this. The reporters below were silent and desperately writing in their interview notebooks. The Chinese young man in front of them brought such a powerful impact to everyone. They were originally here to interview a hero who dived to save people. The key point was  Promote the excellence of West Point Military Academy, but now everyone has discovered that they have unearthed a Chinese hero who is likely to be the future!

    Of course, maybe he is a big talker. This yellow-skinned Chinese young man is either boasting and boasting without drafting, or he is a guy with strong self-confidence, ambition and talent!

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

    This Chinese cadet from West Point Military Academy, Wang Geng, will definitely become a newsmaker in major newspapers in New York in the near future!
