As soon as the rookie reporter finished speaking, the originally noisy group of reporters suddenly quieted down, and all his fellow reporters looked at him with shock and admiration.
Oh my god, this guy is so brave.
However, since there was someone who took the lead and asked the question they also wanted to know, they just had to wait for the answer.
Everyone raised the devices in their hands at the same time, stood aside as if watching a show, and waited for Yin Yi's answer.
Yin Yi glanced at the rookie reporter's work ID with indifferent eyes and said in a cold voice: "First of all, we have submitted an application to the Female Protection Association for this trip and have obtained permission. In addition, we also brought a guard team with us, but we did not apply for a large-scale military escort.
As for why no special ship was applied for, I think there is no law in the empire that requires females to apply for special ships when traveling.
Regarding this starship hijacking incident, I think you should interview the legions stationed on the border, or directly interview Marshal Carl and ask him how he arranged the border patrols and why the little princess of the Mifa Empire entered our country quietly, and even the Lion Mercenary Group knew about it, but no one in our country noticed it.
Also, why did the Lion Mercenary Group appear inside the empire in a Black Magic Ship, but the military did not receive any news.
This time, the Lion Mercenaries infiltrated the Mifa Empire to kidnap the young princess. They only took a starship hostage. If their purpose was something else, then I think you can all imagine how much damage it would cause to the empire without me having to tell you."
After hearing this, some reporters finally reacted.
Yes, their attention was all drawn to the fact that Admiral Yin Yi was kidnapped by space pirates while traveling with a female.
They completely forgot that the place where they were held hostage was in the inner region of the Mingxi Empire, even not far from Huaxing and Shuijingxing. If the target of those pirates was not the little princess of the Mifa Empire, but robbery, then the residents of these two planets would probably be in great danger.
After all, they are not ordinary space pirates, but the infamous Lion Mercenary Group, whose combat effectiveness is comparable to that of an army.
The reporters who realized what was happening broke out in cold sweats.
However, they did not give up the interview, but instead intensified it.
"Admiral Yin Yi, are you bringing this up now to change the subject? It's common knowledge that the two marshals in the military are at odds, and you're a subordinate of Marshal Bai Zhuo. Are you saying this now to divert attention to the mistakes made by Marshal Karl and the border garrison, thereby evading responsibility for taking a female on an unauthorized outing?"
"Admiral Yin Yi, have you considered the potential damage to the empire if something unexpected happens to the two females?"
"Admiral Yin Yi, are you doing this because you think your partner is your own, and therefore you treat her as your personal property, arbitrarily rejecting the Empire's benefits on her behalf? Is your partner aware of your selfish behavior?"
......
A barrage of questions followed one after another, and every reporter looked at Yin Yi excitedly, as if as long as he admitted it, they would be able to stand on the moral high ground and condemn him.
They thought they would see Yin Yi's panic denial and self-defense. After all, if he couldn't answer this kind of question well, no matter who he was, he would become an interstellar public enemy.
Unexpectedly, Yin Yi just looked at the reporter calmly for a few seconds, then said: "I have never had such thoughts. On the contrary, I have always respected my partner very much.
You have been questioning me from the beginning about what kind of damage would be caused to the empire if something happened to my partner. I would also like to ask you, when you asked this question, have you ever considered that, in addition to being a female and my partner, she is also a human being like us, not an emotionless reproductive machine.
You are only worried that if something happens to her, the empire will lose a female with excellent fertility, and how many cubs will be born less in the empire. Have you ever worried about her safety for even a minute?
Similarly, you are only concerned about why females do not apply for military escort when traveling. What I want to say is that females are citizens of the empire just like us and have the right to travel freely.
But in the eyes of many people, they are just regarded as reproductive tools. They say they want to protect them, but no one has ever really cared about what the females want. Do you really think this is right?
Regarding this space pirate incident and how we safely left the meteorite sea, I will explain it in a later public meeting. As for the rest, I'm sorry, I have no further comment."
After saying this, he left without caring about the reporters' reactions.
Yin Yi's remarks were reported on the interstellar headlines by major media outlets that day, causing a huge response throughout the galaxy.
Netizens were divided into two camps, sparking a war of words.
Some people think that he is right. They should not treat females as just reproductive machines. For the sake of human reproduction, they should not let females choose partners and reproduce offspring from adulthood. Instead, they should treat them like ordinary orcs.
Another group of people believe that they have never disrespected females. Every country has provided many benefits to females. Interstellar has even established organizations such as the Female Protection Association to better serve females.
The two sides quarreled fiercely online.
Gradually, another group of people emerged online, criticizing Yin Yi, believing that he was the one who disrespected women and that he was dragging women out to take the blame in order to evade his own responsibilities.
This statement also received support from many netizens, who condemned Yin Yi online. Some people in some countries even took this opportunity to discredit the Mingxi Empire and let the females of the Mingxi Empire go to their countries.
......
"Ridiculous! Absurd! Is Yin Yi feeling proud of himself just because he has a female child? He actually said such things in front of so many media outlets. Does he even know what he's talking about?"
The three elders of the House of Representatives had just come to work the next day when they saw a flood of reports online about what Yin Yi had said in the interview yesterday. They were all so angry that their faces turned red.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't they say that only Yin Yi and Bai Li were missing? How come there are two more females now? Have you received any information from the Female Protection Association?"
A chubby elder who looked like Maitreya Buddha finished reading the report and turned to ask the other two colleagues.
But he saw two faces that were even more confused than his own.
"What? There are females missing with them too? What's going on?"
"That's not right. We haven't received any news. Where did that group of media get the news?"
