Bright, spring flowers.

It is now the spring of the state mouth year of the Common Era, and for the world, this is a season worth remembering, because it is in this season, in the spring of the state mouth year, the European war that lasted for almost five years has finally come to an end, although not everyone wants to see the war in Europe end so quickly, but there is no doubt that the governments and civilians of the European belligerents have had enough of this war without any reason at all, first the French ** team has mutiny and sabotage, and then there is Germany ** In the end, a mutiny of sailors born in the Kiel military port ignited the fuse of the German ** mutiny, and the subsequent Palin Revolution almost immediately ended the German government's confidence in the war, and also ended the German monarchy, in the cheers of the soldiers and civilians, the Hohenzollern dynasty in Germany collapsed, the German Empire fell, and the war in Europe ended.

The Hohenzollerns, the Habsburgs, and the Romanovs, the three last bastions of European monarchs, became the most valuable victims of this European war, and perhaps from this point of view, this European war does not seem to be without positive significance.

It was not only the republicans who were excited about this, but almost all the civilians of the European belligerents rejoiced at the end of the war, and the artillery at the front ceased immediately after the peace agreement was formally signed by the representatives of the Entente and the Central Powers. Then almost all the church bells rang, and the soldiers of both warring sides threw away their rifles in their hands. Jumping out of the trenches, throwing steel helmets and hats into the sky with enemy soldiers who were close by, celebrating the arrival of peace in Europe, and even reveling with former enemies despite the orders of their superiors, and exchanging souvenirs across the barbed wire, the civilians of all countries could not contain their excitement and proclaimed the arrival of peace to everyone they met.

A war that tried to end all wars ended so suddenly, in stark contrast to the enthusiasm of the war, when the news of the war's actual end was confirmed, Europeans, who were already very disgusted with the war, began to reflect on the war that brought chaos and hunger to Europe, and many in the victorious countries believed that the best way to make this war even more meaningful was to use the victors' advantage to conclude an agreement that would end the war enough to curb the ambitions of the war and warn the war maniacs. In other words, an agreement must be signed that severely punishes the defeated countries.

The defeated countries were Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria, and as punishment for their wars, the victorious powers decided to impose severe sanctions on these defeated countries, including both the cession of territory and the payment of war reparations, in order to show the world their determination to maintain world peace. At the same time, it intends to use these ceded territories and war reparations to quickly restore the country's war-battered economy.

In addition to a necessary peace agreement, the governments of the victorious powers also reached an international political conviction of great significance, that is, to form an international organization capable of stopping wars and maintaining world peace, and to use this international organization to sanction those countries that attempt to go to war or have already started war, and to ensure collective security. The victorious nation will ultimately decide the fate of the defeated nation.

Most of the people attending the Paris Peace Conference were victorious countries that participated in the war in Europe, and in addition, China was given the status of an observer, especially in the countries that are becoming more and more influential in the Asian region; after some careful selection, the central government of China formally decided to send a diplomatic mission headed by Gu Weijun to Paris to attend the International Peace Conference, and to make a speech at the conference on behalf of the Chinese president and the National Assembly, so as to make clear to all peace-loving countries and people in the world the Chinese Government's just stand on the issue of world peace.

Now, Chinese President Zhao Bei is talking to Gu Weijun and others in the garden behind the Commander-in-Chief's Hall, exchanging views and giving necessary instructions on certain important issues.

When it is necessary to show a just posture, you must resolutely show a just posture and let all countries in the world see that the Chinese truly hope for world peace and oppose any act that aggravates international contradictions.

Now, although Germany was defeated, but as a candidate to fall into the ground, we must fully understand the difficult situation of German civilians during and after the war, at the peace conference, although China does not have the right to vote, but we have the right to suggest, since the US government advocates leniency for the defeated countries, then, we firmly support the US government's position, when speaking, you must remember that we must try our best to show the Chinese's protection of the Germans, and show the Germans China's fair position, In order to strengthen the people-to-people friendship between China and Germany.

Of course, since France firmly advocates the dismemberment of Germany, then the leniency of the US government will certainly not be approved by the peace conference, and in my opinion, the final agreement reached by the peace conference will definitely be a compromise plan, perhaps just like the plan proposed by the British government, although it will not dismember Germany, but Germany will definitely be forced to cede territory and pay huge war reparations to the victorious countries, and the amount of this reparation must be quite staggering, far beyond Germany's ability to bear, so, in my opinion, even if the Paris Peace Conference can reach an agreement, But this agreement would only guarantee peace in Europe and the world for twenty years at best, and the real effect of the Paris Peace Conference would be to radicalize Germany

shield and conflict, and make the revanchists finally seize German power

According to the current news from the embassy, Pailin and Vienna are still in chaos, demonstrations and small-scale armed uprisings are still occurring one after another, due to the very high unemployment rate, many skilled Germans cannot find jobs, then, this is our opportunity, we can completely invite these people back to China, Chu Caijin, and use these lost German talents to contribute to China's industrial and technological progress. Strive to make China's industrial technology comparable to the world's top level in the shortest possible time. Some time ago, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Heavy Industry took advantage of the chaotic situation of the Russian civil war to recruit some personnel from the shipbuilding and aviation industries from Russia

Zhao Bei sat in the pavilion in the garden, and told Gu Weijun and others, every detail was talked about, and every key point was pointed, which made Gu Weijun and others very admired.

"Please rest assured that as soon as we go to Europe, we immediately began to gather all kinds of industrial talents, and this time the Ministry of Education also sent a group of excellent students to France, with the mission to France, at that time, they will look for opportunities to study abroad in various industrial powers in Europe, for this purpose, the Ministry of Finance has also allocated special funds for the training of international students, now the European countries have just ended the war, the entire European economy is in recession, the industrial sector is not having a good time, the education sector is not having a good time, this time, it is a good time to use money to open the way, I am not afraid that those famous universities that are short of funds will refuse to accept Chinese students

Gu Weijun hurriedly expressed his position, to be honest, for the president is so concerned about the affairs of industry and talents. He is a diplomatic expert who understands very well that after all, the exhibition of China's industry also needs to further improve technology, and Europe is undoubtedly the place where industrial talents are most concentrated, and compared with the United States, it is easier for European technical talents to let go of arrogance and work in China.

"That's all, you can go and prepare for the trip, the railway side has been contacted, you can go directly from the Trans-Siberian Railway to Ouyuan, so that you can go faster, bring those students over to me before you go, I want to talk to them, let them know the industrial strategy of the center.

Now that Gu Weijun had understood the leader's re-intention, Zhao Bei didn't dwell on it anymore, and saw a staff member of the attendant's room walk into the garden and nodded to him, so he stood up and personally sent Gu Weijun and the others out of the garden.

After walking out of the garden, Gu Weijun suddenly asked a question.

"With regard to the 'Tavlida' Treaty of Western Distribution, which was signed between China and Soviet Russia, the European countries have reacted coldly at present, and none of the countries has yet expressed their position in recognizing the legitimacy of the treaty; when we go to the Paris Peace Conference, there will certainly be representatives of various countries who will ask about this matter, and I have heard that the representatives of Tsarist Russia will also attend the Paris Peace Conference, and at that time, the Tsarist side will certainly also pay attention to this matter; if our representatives are asked about this matter, can our representatives leave the meeting in anger to show that there is absolutely no possibility of changing our position? ”

Zhao Bei thought about it, shook his head, and said, "You don't have to leave. You can confidently tell those who inquire about you and even question you that what China has recovered through the "Tavlida-Western General Treaty" is China's lost land, and that it is our territory that the old Russian government has taken over through unequal treaties, and that the fact that China has now taken it back through the treaty is not only reasonable and justifiable, but also conforms to the spirit of the peace negotiations of the Paris Peace Conference, and more importantly, this is a matter between China and Russia, and has nothing to do with other countries. As for the Tsarist government, you don't have to worry, now the threat from Soviet Russia is still there, and Tsarist Russia is very dependent on me, at this time, the Tsarist government may be instigated by Britain and France, but its position will definitely not be resolute, after all, the Tsarist government is now unable to control Central Asia at all, and with us staring at it, the Tsarist government does not have to worry about the transformation of Central Asia and threatening its flanks of the front. ”

Gu Weijun understood, and after saying goodbye, he left the presidential palace in a car with his entourage. After they got into the car, the staff member of the attendant's room walked up to Zhao Bei and whispered a few words to him.

"Invite them to come and talk, and I will wait for them in the garden

Zhao Bei just nodded, gave an order, and then returned to the garden, sat in the pavilion, and continued to review the official document on the stone table.

A few minutes later, Xiong Xiling, the chief financial officer, and Liu Yuanyi, the chief minister of industry and commerce, followed an adjutant into the garden and stopped at the pavilion.

"Sit anywhere, sit anywhere

Zhao Bei pointed to the stone bench opposite, then closed the official document, stood up, and rubbed his hands.

According to the preliminary investigation of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, at present, the export volume of China's industrial manufactured products has begun to decline, while at the same time, the export volume of industrial raw materials and semi-finished products has not increased, only the export volume of grain is still rising steadily, and the domestic grain price has also continued to rise. According to the current industrial data, the industrial depression has begun, and the industrial boom can no longer be maintained by government orders alone. ”

Xiong Xiling took out the document in the briefcase and handed it to Zhao Bei, the reason why he came here today is to report to the president on the recent domestic industrial and economic situation, now that the war in Europe has ended, the foreign trade situation has changed immediately, although Xiong Xiling has been prepared for this, but he was still taken aback by the export data.
