Crimson Dawn

"In the letter written by Pu Guanshui, Germany is as if a socialist revolution is about to break out." After reading Pu Guanshui's letter, Tang Shaoyi said in a rather skeptical tone.Both Tang Shaoyi and Gu Weijun took the civil service examination and were hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after passing the examination.This time the two were in Paris as members of the People's Party diplomatic team.

"Germany is now similar to our late Qing Dynasty. The emperor has fallen, and the new order has not yet been established." Zhang Yu replied.

Seeing that Zhang Yu answered very easily, Tang Shaoyi stopped answering the conversation.After all, China has been held down and beaten by foreigners for 1840 years since 60, and it was not until the emergence of the People's Party that this situation was reversed.Tang Shaoyi knew that the People's Party members like Zhang Yu adhered to the People's Party's philosophy of struggle. They could accept bloodshed and sacrifice anytime and anywhere, and suffering hardships was even more common.This fearless attitude allows Zhang Yu to look down on foreigners, and Tang Shaoyi, who almost instinctively avoids fighting, knows that she cannot do this.

After becoming an "official" of the People's Party this time, Tang Shaoyi discovered that the People's Party was very different from the Manchus, and even from the Chinese tradition.Government officials are just employees, they are employees of the BJP, or "people's power".Although Tang Shaoyi doesn't believe that the latter can really be realized.For Tang Shaoyi, it is best to have a clear hierarchy in the world. The higher the status of the person, the less he should suffer so much, and he should get more rewards for his hard work.The longer she spent in the People's Party, the more Tang Shaoyi doubted whether her choice of "being an official" in the People's Party was correct.

"We want to intervene in the European revolution?" Gu Weijun asked.As a young man, Gu Weijun showed signs of evolving towards imperialist diplomacy within a short period of time in the People's Party.It is undoubtedly the normal state of the world now that powerful countries rely on their own strength to interfere with anything that can be interfered with.

Seeing that the things he said were getting more and more outrageous, Shang Yuan, the head of the delegation, began to control the direction of the topic, "The purpose of our participation in the Paris Peace Conference is not to participate in the carve-up of the world, but to see the situation. Let us settle our own affairs first Yes. The Allied Powers are now attacking Russia, and it is not too unusual for them to attack China. Maybe we will have to wait for others to call when we go back.”

Hearing that the foreign devils might attack China again, Tang Shaoyi and Gu Weijun's faces became a little nervous, but the comrades of the People's Party couldn't help smiling with various emotions, or simply didn't respond to it.

"Not to mention whether there will be a revolution in Europe, will there be a revolution in Japan?" Shang Yuan changed the subject.

"Why don't you ask them tomorrow?" Zhang Yu said jokingly.Shang Yuan also snorted slightly after hearing this. These days, every time Britain, the United States, France, Italy, China, and Japan, the six major powers at the Paris Peace Conference, discuss issues, the representatives of the People's Party can look up and see To the dead faces of Saiyuanji Gongwang, Makino Shinaki and other Japanese representatives.

"What is there to talk about with these old guys?" Even as an older member of the People's Party, compared with foreign old guys, he is still far from being young in general.

"Then what are you going to tell us, big brother?" Zhang Yu asked.

Shang Yuan said: "After participating in this peace conference until now, I finally understand what national strength means. No matter what kind of superficial truth, it is an interpretation of the strength that a country already has and has proven. Potential is You can’t get it on the table. Materialism is so cruel.”

Originally, the young comrades were still in the mood to make jokes, but after hearing Shang Yuan's words, everyone's expressions became serious.

"This time it is not that Comrade Pu Guanshui suffered a setback in Germany. We have encountered great problems in seeking technical cooperation proposals from France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries. These countries did not take our request as a It’s true.” Shang Yuan summed up his recent work, “We don’t have any real industrial strength, so no one takes us seriously. Before this trip, Chairman Chen has always emphasized that we do have potential, but we lack strength .We ourselves can’t confuse strength with potential, the world won’t share that view.”

"That is to say, we are doing preliminary work this time?" Wu Xiangyu asked.

This issue does not even need to be particularly emphasized. Many comrades in the delegation have been to the United States and Europe for the first time. After seeing with their own eyes the strength possessed by these industrial countries, especially the power possessed by the ruling classes in these countries, comrades have already seen the republic. The gap with the world's top powers.Domestically, the People's Party has to vomit blood for a large amount of infrastructure construction, and is also proud of the earth-shaking changes in the country.I am more excited about the bright future of the Republic on the blueprint.However, what the delegation saw in the United States and Europe was a large number of existing cities, factories, and spider web-like railways and roads.Wanting the whole of China to reach the level of the United States and Europe is by no means a simple task that can be completed in a year or two. It will take ten or even twenty years of hard work.

"Premier Shang is right. We really can't pursue more things this time. As long as we can take back things that belong to China, that's enough. The efforts to seek greater goals come to an end. What we are doing now is for the future. layout."

It is the tradition of the People's Party to unify thinking and adjust the direction of work in a timely manner.Even so, the work of the BJP is only a day ahead of the situation.

On February 1919, 2, the Japanese representative impatiently proposed that China should fulfill its "international obligations" and recognize international treaties, even before the peace conference could fully establish how to deal with the defeat.

The "international treaty" that Japan refers to refers to the treaty signed between Japan and the Qing Dynasty.Japan believes that the Government of the Republic has reason to implement international treaties.

Looking at Makino Shinxian's old face when he spoke, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that war is sometimes much simpler than peace.What the Japanese cannot get on the battlefield, the Japanese want to get it from the negotiating table.

It is absolutely impossible for Japan to get the Chinese interests taken back by the People's Party from the battlefield. Zhang Yu really wants to ask frankly, "If we don't give it to you, what will Japan do?"

In terms of future strategic planning, China will definitely attack Japan militarily and drive Japan out of North Korea.After the loss of North Korea, Japan and China are only separated by the Strait of Tsushima, and the People's Party's plane can fly across the strait in less than an hour.Even knowing that it was absolutely impossible for Japan to declare war publicly at the Paris Peace Conference, Zhang Yu couldn't help but almost said that the Republic welcomed Japan's declaration of war.

It is absolutely impossible for Japan to raise this question alone, and wait for the representative of Japan to finish speaking.The British side immediately proposed that the Republic was obliged to fulfill the international treaty.What Britain refers to is the money Yuan Shikai borrowed from Britain and other countries.

"We also believe that it is necessary for China to fulfill its international obligations." The 78-year-old French Prime Minister Clemenceau, although he has gray hair, is still as ferocious as a wild beast. He really deserves his nickname of "Tiger Prime Minister".

Chen Ke exhausted his strategy and took advantage of every stage, especially in the First World War, he made a lot of money. Now all the countries of the Allied Powers have fallen into the financial crisis after the war, and the terrible loss of manpower and material resources is astronomical. bonds, money is needed to solve these problems.

China has demonstrated its war power to defend its own interests, Britain, France and Japan all know that it is impossible to take food from a tiger's mouth.So when they can make things difficult for China, they will never let go of any opportunity.

The seemingly enthusiastic performance of the previous few days has disappeared, and the strife between the allies who used to be "in the same trench" suddenly became fierce.France even publicly stated that the agreement on Indochina signed with the People's Party must be considered after China has assumed "corresponding international obligations" before it can continue to consider the issue of implementation.

This sounds like a reckless pace. Even though they are fully prepared in their hearts, the young comrades of the People's Party are still full of anger.Changing faces so quickly is the essence of imperialism.This is imperialist diplomacy.
