The British envoy's seemingly polite tone contained undoubted toughness, and what he said was both a rejection of the Chinese envoy and a threat to him.

Those who do not know may think that the scenes of wanton plundering and aggression by various countries in China do not exist, and that China really took the initiative to give away its own treasures in order to show its friendly attitude towards Britain.

Both the Entente and the Central Powers were executioners. All those present were well aware of the evils hidden under the glorified appearance, but none of the representatives of the vested countries had the slightest bit of embarrassment, shame, or uneasiness, and all of them recognized the false fact. As a country that has just been accepted by them, Huaguo is exactly what they are watching. If China is unwilling to follow the rules of the game, then this newly joined country will once again be rejected by these bigwigs without hesitation.

In terms of China's current strength and aircraft manufacturing technology, these countries will not be willing to offend China lightly, but if China offends a whole group and commits public anger, it will be a different matter.

Like Japan, European countries are extremely delicate in their attitude towards China, a newly emerging Asian country. Although China now appears to be on their side and has the same interests, there is no doubt that China's rise is a threat to many old powers. The advanced technology that China possesses is not only what these countries fear, but also what they covet. It's just that they have just experienced a war that consumes a lot of energy, and the Chinese country, which defeated Japan and Russia, took advantage of this opportunity and no longer knows where it has come, so none of them will take China lightly and do that kind of bird. Even if they send troops to test the strength of Huaguo, it is a loss of strength for them, and in the end they will only make a dowry for others in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses. But if the friends around him are disgusted with Huaguo, they are ready to unite to do something against Huaguo, and then carve up those coveted things in Huaguo...... No country can resist the temptation of such a low-risk, high-return thing.

Hua Guo's representative looked at the flickering eyes of the people around him, and he could naturally guess what they were thinking. A trace of disgust flashed in his heart, but he also knew that there was never any truth and justice at this negotiating table, and there were only naked-naked interests. When it is in their own interest, everyone does not care to be deaf or dumb, or to open their eyes and speak nonsense. Everyone wears a multitude of masks on their faces, and they change them whenever they need to.

As for the allies, in the face of these interests, they are nothing at all. The so-called allies only come together because of the same interests, and if each other's interests conflict, the originally friendly friends will immediately turn friends into enemies. Yes, he should have gotten used to the ways of these people.

For him, the purpose of recovering the things that belong to China is a task that must be completed by the Chinese government, and its purpose is not only to regain the inherent property belonging to China and protect its own culture and cultural relics, but also to completely straighten his waist in front of European countries and regain his own dignity. But the process is obviously not too smooth, and he is ready to fight a long battle.

"I couldn't agree more with Mr. Steve." Following the British envoy, the French envoy also spoke, he looked at the Chinese envoy with disapproval, and shook his head: "Sir, I think you and the prime minister of your country should take a long-term view, shouldn't you?" To spoil a friendship with an ally for the sake of a petty profit, I think, is a very stupid thing to do. Of course, if you must disgrace your allies, then I can't say anything more than to tell you that no country would welcome such an ally who does not care about others. Think about it, what will you and your country lose at that time? ”

If the British envoy just now only had a hidden threat in his words, then the French envoy put the threat on the table clearly. Although his tone was softer and more elegant, and his attitude was really not harsh, the weight of his words was clearly more intolerant of neglect.

When the veil of warmth is lifted, it is full of ugly interests and cold threats.

Yes, it seems that European countries have opened their doors to China now, but so what? This was nothing more than a condescending handout from the European nations to the Chinese nation, and with their generosity, the Chinese nation was able to join them, become one of them, and share their resources in a certain way. Therefore, Hua Guo should be grateful and make certain sacrifices and concessions for any allies in their time of need.

This was the point of view of the French envoys, and the envoys of other countries apparently agreed with them.

At the beginning of the European war, their attitude towards China was indeed more egalitarian and more moderate, but at that time they urgently needed to sell more planes and tanks from China, and they also needed to ensure that China would not fall to the side of the Allies and sell those murderous enemies. And now? The war is over, they have become the winners, and although Hua Guo is still a partner to be wooed by them, the importance of Cheng Dù has greatly decreased compared to the war, and it is naturally impossible for them to maintain their previous political attitude towards Hua Guo. As for the commercial situation, that's another story. Politicians may say no to China based on a variety of considerations, but businessmen will never refuse to receive benefits, and as long as cooperation with China can be profitable, they will always smile at China, unless the environment is really bad enough to restrict trade between the two countries.

The Chinese envoy is now in a dilemma, and if he continues to insist on his views, he will surely anger everyone present. If he agrees to these people's requests, it seems that in a short time, Huaguo can put an end to the conflict with these old powers, and both sides will be happy, but from now on, Huaguo's authority in these old countries may no longer be established.

The envoy of Huaguo thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard that the friendship between two countries is based on one side trampling on the other. We have always thought that your country has given our country enough attention and respect, and regarded us as an equal partner rather than a subordinate vassal, so that you will stand by your side in this war and give your country so much convenience, but now it seems that ...... We regard your country as a trustworthy ally, but your attitude towards us is not like this. ”

"As an ally of your country, we have provided your country with a lot of manpower and material resources in wartime. Imagine how much it would cost your country if we did not sell these weapons to your country at an affordable price, but traded them with your country at a normal price? And how much effort did the people we send contribute to the construction of your country's battlefield? Now, we have won, and my country, as one of the Member States that has contributed a lot, has not only received the spoils of war that we deserve, but also the dignity and honour that we deserve...... Do you think this is what you should be treated as a member of the Treaty? ”

"Your country wants to keep the property looted from our country in the pre-Qing Dynasty and use it as a trophy to show off its past achievements, I can understand your country's feelings, but I will never agree!"

Because of the resolute opposition of the Chinese envoys and the uneven distribution of spoils among the countries, the ultimate goal of this meeting could not be achieved, and the envoys of various countries broke up unhappily and could only wait for the next meeting.

And this is exactly in line with the expectations of the Chinese envoys. He never expected his offer to be accepted all at once, and it seemed that what he did would push China against all countries at once, but in reality it was not.

Although these countries are unwilling to give up the benefits they have received from China, they are even more reluctant to give up fighting for the spoils of this war. Not only out of consideration for the best interests of their country, but also how much they can gain in this division of interests, it is also an invisible symbol of their country's international status.

There were many internal contradictions in the Entente, so naturally the Chinese envoys had an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Sir, Mr. George has asked to meet with you to discuss your proposal for a mutually beneficial treaty, which he is interested in......"

"Got it, I'll go over here. On this sunny afternoon, I would love to sit down with Mr. George and have a cup of coffee. A smug smile crossed the lips of the envoy of Huaguo, and the fish was finally hooked.

In the end, the French were the first to accept the olive branch thrown by China. As one of the countries most devastated by the world war, they desperately need to gain more rights for themselves to make up for the vitality they lost in the war. The Chinese envoy promised that if the French were willing to accept the demands put forward by the Chinese state, then the Chinese country would stand on the side of France in the next negotiations, try to fight for France's rights and interests, and henceforth sell planes, tanks, and advanced weapons of various formats directly to France, without going through the hands of Britain and the United States.

This is naturally undesirable for France. Although they plundered a lot of treasures in China, what use were these antique relics once it was time to fight? Their value in the eyes of politicians is far from being comparable to advanced weapons.

As for China, standing on the side of France to fight for their rights and interests is not a loss for themselves. From the very beginning, they did not expect anything to gain from the defeated country, except that they intended to recover what the defeated country had taken from China. Skipping the two middlemen, Britain and the United States, and doing business directly with France, for China, it is an additional way to sell, at least we can remind these two countries that are gradually not taking China seriously, China's planes and weapons have never been sold, and they are not the only two buyers, and it is possible that they will not even sell to them anymore if they are in a hurry. At least until Britain and the United States and other countries develop weapons of the same level, this threat is still very deterrent.

This was the response of the Chinese envoys to the words of the British and French envoys at the first meeting.

Now that the French envoys have changed their attitude in the face of the greater good, it is up to Britain and the United States to react...... The Chinese envoy fell into deep thought, if the main forces of the Entente agreed to his demand, then presumably the other countries would not object.

Then, with the inducement and an appropriately tough attitude, the Chinese envoy finally won the heads of the United States and Great Britain, and achieved his original and final goal of sending back a satisfactory answer to the distant Chinese government.

After this meeting, the United States, Britain and other countries no longer dare to underestimate China.

The interests of the defeated countries were divided, just like the original Chinese state, which was overwhelmed by others, and under the intervention of the Entente powers, it was on the verge of being torn apart. And this time, the interests of the Soviet Union and Japan, which were not invited to the Paris Peace Conference, were also violated to a certain extent.

The defeat to China just shows that they are strong in the outside world at the moment, and these countries in Europe have just experienced heavy hemorrhage, and it is when they need to find fresh blood to make up for their own losses, how can they let go of Japan and the Soviet Union, which are weak at this time?

This time, the interests of the European countries in dividing up the defeated countries were no different from the original history, and in the Far East, the rights and interests of China, which were originally China, were trampled on, and the European countries ordered Jiaozhou Bay to be transferred from Germany to Japan.

I have to say that this is extremely ironic, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is also very happy.

Since Japan has chosen the principle of invading and stealing others, it must be prepared to be counter-invaded when its technology is inferior to others.

The international community always puts fairness and justice on the lips, but in this world, how can there ever be real fairness and justice?

Fists are power.

Hua Guo has no intention of following the same principles as these countries, through guò external expansion, to divert internal contradictions, or through guò robbery, to obtain huge wealth, but Hua Guo does not intend to be trampled on.

Since fists are the last word, let's make their fists harder, so that their voices will be more powerful, and they can turn passive into active.

When the contents of the Paris Peace Conference were transmitted back to China, the young people were greatly encouraged to find their dignity after much hardship, if nothing else.
