Chapter Forty-Eight: Waiting for the East Wind

Subtitled this chapter: Sudden Changes in Painting Style: From Politics to Entertainment

………………

Why do there are so many real Beiyang powder and fake Beiyang powder on the Internet in later generations?

On the one hand, all walks of life are fighting and funny for the sake of fruit powder. Of course, the key is that the lower limit of Jiang Ji's government is too low, not to mention compared with the later Red Dynasty, that is, compared to my Qing Dynasty and Beiyang.

On the other hand, the Beiyang government does have something to be liked. For example, Xu Shuzheng's recovery of Outer Mongolia, such as the "Chinese Emperor" in Lenin's mouth, is very uplifting when you hear it.

It is fair to say that in the original timeline, the now ruling Xu Shichang government spent a lot of thought at the Washington Conference, and it was not a little thought, it can be said to be painstaking.

The Beiyang government sent a delegation of as many as 130 people, compared with just about 40 people who went to the Paris Peace Conference two years ago.

The members of the Chinese delegation to the Washington meeting were not only directly appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also technical experts, special representatives, and representatives of various political parties appointed by various ministries, including representatives of the Guangzhou Government and the Kuomintang, and some members were supplemented from the United States. The number of technical experts alone exceeded that of the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference.

The delegation to the Washington Conference was full of talents, including former Foreign Minister Liang Ruhao, former Finance Minister Zhou Ziqi, Counselor Wang Jiarui of the State Council Printing and Casting Bureau, Cai Tinggan of the Taxation Office, Huang Ying, Adviser to Lieutenant General of the Presidential Office, Luo Wengan, Vice President of the Revised Law Museum, and Yan Heling, Adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The importance that the Beiyang government attaches to the Washington Conference can be seen from this.

If our Master Yuan were still in the United States at the end of this year, then such an "economic expert" as him would definitely be a member of the delegation.

is still the same sentence, his old man thinks that it is not interesting to hold a meeting, it is better to go to Nanyang to marry a little lady.

But Yuan Yanqian still did her best and easily pit Little Japan again.

"Brother Shaochuan, junior brother dares to pack a ticket, Britain and the United States will definitely reach an agreement before the end of this year to convene an international conference to discuss the unfinished matters of the Paris Peace Conference. They will also convene countries to discuss future arrangements for the Far East and the Pacific. It was even possible to reach an agreement on the disarmament of the navies of various countries at the conference. ”

Master Yuan said with a solemn face: "Now, the only thing to worry about is the reaction of the Japanese. ”

Meng Xiancheng next to him also said to himself: "Yes, how can the Japanese be willing to spit out Shandong's rights and interests obediently?" ”

That's right, as he said, the Japanese, of course, were extremely resistant to the Washington conference.

When the news of the Washington Conference reached Japan, the Japanese political and military circles reacted very strongly, believing that the meeting would be a general reckoning with the Far East issue.

The Japanese themselves knew that their constant military expansion in Paris and the Far East had provoked the wrath of the people. They know why they were invited.

At this time, although the current cabinet did not think that there was a need to "make a fuss," it had to admit that "the situation was serious." (Author's note: Prime Minister Takashi Hara's surname is "Hara" and his name is "Kei", and he is Japan's first prime minister from a civilian background.) οΌ‰

In addition to the Shandong issue, little Japan also has to face the problem of arms limitations, which is why Nomura Kichizaburo and Yamamoto Isoroku are jumping up and down these days and can't sit still.

And Gu Weijun groaned for a while, raised his head and said, "If you want to come here, you must teach me." ”

Yuan Yan smiled and said: "Brother Shaochuan is polite, there is nothing that the younger brother can do, only one word!" ”

"What word?"

"Wait!"

The two people next to him asked in unison, "Wait?" What are you waiting for? ”

Naturally, I am waiting for the release of "Famine Orphan Girl" written by Master Yuan himself.

Yuan Yanqian told the Japanese that the purpose of making this film was to disrupt the plan of the United States to oppress Britain and dissolve the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but this was not the case.

He hopes to use this film to help the United States squeeze more benefits from the-stirring sticks, and also make little Japan feel more pressure.

Our Master Yuan patted his little chest with no pectoral muscles, and said conclusively: "The little brother will play another package ticket, and it will not be more than half a year or nine months, and the United States must be a new weather!" ”

"So please Brother Shaochuan must be calm, and please don't be impatient, don't worry about the Japanese refusing to negotiate with us."

"When the time comes...... I'm afraid it's not us who are in a hurry, but the Japanese. ”

When Gu Weijun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Hong Yan, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Brush."

Yuan Yanqian opened the purse, took out a copy of "Le Monde" and said, "Please look at ...... two"

Gu Meng and the others looked at it, and it turned out that this was the entertainment version of "Le Monde".

I saw that the headline above was "The old unpaid film master is on the road again, is the new film with a budget of three million a last fight or a fool's dream?" 》

According to well-informed sources, Mr. David Griffith, known as the first person in Hollywood, recently came to New York. He seems to have come out of the failure of his previous film, The Road to New England, and is actively campaigning for his next new film. ”

Since "The Party Fights Differences", the film master has fallen into a low ebb in his career, and his recent films have been called box office poison. This made his financial situation even worse. According to incomplete statistics, he has at least a huge debt of nearly one million US dollars. Even the property in his name was frozen by the bankruptcy court. ”

And the budget for this new film is as high as three million dollars! Three million dollars, an unimaginable and unbelievable number. As far as we know, the film seems to be related to the Great Irish Famine, and the script should be written by the famous New York writer Neo-Yuan. ”

"Although we all know that Mr. Yuan's last screenplay, "Twelve", was the first commercial sound film. After the release in the past few days, there have been many praises and a good reputation. But can he, a Chinese, write the script of a three-million-budget blockbuster? Let's wait and see. ”

The entertainment section of Le Monde also ran a big-print headline, "Auditions? Casting like never before! 》

"This newspaper: Mr. David Griffith's new film will use a groundbreaking casting method, and that is audition. According to relevant sources, there will be five main female characters, dozens of female supporting roles and thousands of female extras in this film. All of these actors are open to applications from the community. ”

"As long as a white woman under the age of twenty-five can sign up by writing a letter with a photograph, preferably with Irish characteristics, of course. See the ad on the back page for details! ”

"Whoa!"

They flipped through the newspaper and actually saw a full-page advertisement. And a line of bold and enlarged short sentences occupies two-thirds of the area, that is......
