Zhang Zhidong, who is in his sixties, has a quick mind, although it is late at night, but his spirit is still good, and the mission of the country's destiny makes him mentally strong.

In addition to interests, the United States' scruples are more from a strategic point of view, China and the United States are destined to become two great powers in the Pacific region, and in the long run, there will inevitably be a struggle between the two sides for control of the Pacific region. Although China is weak now, its military strength is not weak, and President Roosevelt of the United States has seen this with great foresight. Zhang Taiyan analyzed.

Even if Roosevelt thought so, the United States would not regard China as its main enemy in the short term. The center of the United States is on the Atlantic coast, and the interests and forces on the Pacific coast are very weak, while China's main interests are in the Pacific Ocean. In addition, don't we have our forces in the United States, and those conglomerates are making a lot of money in China, will they watch Roosevelt be unfavorable to China? ”

"What the vice president is saying is, so there is no need to worry about the tilt of the United States in this meeting?"

"There is no need to worry about the attitude of the United States, and there is no need to worry about whether the talks will achieve the goals we have set. The talks were based on war, we had gained a huge advantage on the battlefield, the Japanese could not help no matter how much they struggled, and the British were only observers, so they did not cause much trouble. I am worried not about this meeting, but about whether the British will be ghostly behind the scenes, they will not give up, I heard that the fighting in Burma has caused the Free Army to fall into a trough because of our withdrawal, and I am afraid that with the strength of the British, they will soon be able to withdraw from Burma. ”

"yes, the British-stirring stick is disgusting. But I can't think of where they're going to get us in trouble, can the vice president guess? ”

"You are also an old man like me, who is omnipotent! The British have been roising the world for hundreds of years, and their methods of provoking contradictions and checking and balancing left and right have become superb. We Chinese are good at intrigues, but those are all small ways, and most of us lack an international perspective, and even I have studied for a long time before I know a little about international relations. I think that when we go back, we can organize a training course in international relations to study this subject, and maybe we can find the British way of thinking. ”

The two communicated until 1 a.m., and according to the actual situation, they came up with a more detailed plan for the meeting. The meeting was scheduled for December 1, and there are still a few days to go, and Zhang Taiyan will organize and participate in several similar receptions to conduct public relations for various countries. In fact, the same is true for Japan and Russia. It is very important to win more support before the talks, because this war is not a war between China, Russia and Japan, but more involves changes in the international situation, especially the host United States and France, which is an observer, and is the focus of trilateral contention.

In the British Consulate in San Francisco, Kinozo Saionji and Takaaki Kato were looking at each other with bitter faces, because Japan did not have much financial resources for the construction of foreign consulates because the treasury was empty and most of its wealth was spent on the navy and preparations for war against Russia. Moreover, because there are not many non-governmental and official contacts in San Francisco, there is no consulate, and the British consulate can only be temporarily resided during the talks. It is also conducive to confidentiality.

The reason why the two of them are worried is not that they are under the fence, they are very thick-skinned, and the grass pheasant sword may not be able to penetrate it. Seeing that the talks are approaching, Japan is at an absolute disadvantage on the battlefield and must strive for it in the talks. However, if you want to visit high-level officials and negotiators from the United States and France, you can't go empty-handed. Moreover, I heard that Zhang Taiyan, the representative of the Chinese state, was in full swing at the Zhang Luo drinking party, and separately invited the representatives of the United States and France to attend it, so it seemed that the visit was inferior, and the Japanese side had to hold a drinking party, and this showed sincerity.

Whether it's a visit or a cocktail party. I need a lot of money, and I don't think I'll have to do public relations before I came, so I didn't bring much money. In the region, and even in the United States, there are very few Japanese businessmen, and most of them are small businessmen, and it is difficult to raise funds for the party. It's even more impossible to send money from home, so borrow from a local bank in San Francisco? Amaterasu is above, this kind of humiliating thing really can't be done!

Takaaki Kato: "Prime Minister, I heard that Hua Guozhang Taiyan is going to hold a cocktail party at the most luxurious Hilton Hotel in San Francisco, and invite members of the French delegation separately. They bought a VIP revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, bought a hundred bottles of good wine from the best wine cellar in San Francisco, and even hired the best and most beautiful waiters. ”

"How much money do we have?"

"Converted to dollars, it's about a thousand more, and I can't even afford a bottle of wine. Prime Minister, if it really doesn't work, let's ask the British for help first, anyway, they have borrowed tens of millions of pounds from them, not bad at all! ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded, it really can't be like this. It's so hateful! Huaguo, an upstart, is there no one in the Japanese Empire who deceived me? Suddenly, the public hope of Saionji Temple was in high spirits, came up with a solution, and then overjoyed to Kato Takaaki. I want them to show the power of our Yamato nation!

At this time, on the top floor of the San Francisco Hilton Hotel, Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Taiyan and others were giving a banquet to William of the San Francisco Consortium and Situ Meitang, the general superintendent of the Hongmen Zhigong Hall.

"I didn't expect our president to have a long-term vision and start a business in the United States early, and the huge San Francisco consortium turned out to be the president's family business, which is really embarrassing." Zhang Zhidong sighed. There are only these four people here, and they are not afraid of leaking secrets, and the Hilton Hotel itself is a San Francisco consortium enterprise.

William said in proficient Chinese: "The chief instructed him to disclose this secret to the two of them after they arrived in San Francisco, and at the same time explain the situation to Mr. Situ Meitang. ”

"Hahahaha, this is very good, so very good, we Chinese have been bullied in the United States for a long time, otherwise I would not have organized a court to protect the safety of the Chinese. Now we are not only backed by the strength of the country, but also have our strong forces in the United States. With the efforts of Mr. William's consortium, the bill that discriminated against the Chinese was canceled, and the interests of the Chinese were safeguarded everywhere. Situ Meitang laughed and said, he couldn't imagine that this blonde and blue-eyed American was actually a subordinate of President Hua, all of which made sense. In 1901, the Zhi Gong Tang encountered the biggest challenge, the local white gangs in San Francisco jointly attacked the Zhi Gong Tang, they first fought each other to cover up their purpose, and then suddenly attacked the Zhi Gong Tang, causing the Zhi Gong Tang to face the fear of destruction, if it were not for William's help, the Zhi Gong Tang would have been wiped out by the whites. At that time, Situ Meitang raised his own questions when he saw William's thanks, but he did not get an answer, and it turned out that the root was here.

Later, Sun Ge of the Xingzhong Society found himself and peddled revolutionary ideas to himself, he was already moved, and the fundamental reason for the conservative bullying of overseas Chinese was that his motherland was not strong enough, and who didn't want the overseas wanderers to have a firm and powerful backer? Therefore, Situ Meitang was very interested in Sun Ge's words, and when Sun Ge was about to join the Zhigong Court and accept the "Hong Stick", William sent someone to stop the matter, and Situ had to temporarily cut off contact with Sun Ge in order to repay the favor. Soon after, people from the Zhenguo Party in Guangdong approached him, expounded in detail the ideas of the Zhenguo Party and its revolutionary activities in Guangdong, and exposed Sun Ge's ugly face, and since then there has been no place for Sun Ge in the United States.

"Mr. Situ is dedicated to safeguarding the safety of the Chinese people, never forgetting the fate of the country, and has made a lot of contributions. At present, the country is thriving day by day, and if there is a chance, Mr. Situ and other overseas travelers who are interested in the country are welcome to go home and have a look. Zhang Taiyan said.

"I will definitely go back, but not now, although the United States has canceled the "Chinese Exclusion Act", many Chinese are still discriminated against by foreigners, and the phenomenon of Chinese being bullied happens from time to time. As long as the Chinese are still being bullied, the Zhigong Court will not be dissolved, and I will always stay in the United States to support us Chinese! "Situ Meitang is the leader of a large society, although he is kind-faced, but he is determined, and he has a lot of white bastards in his hands.

"Mr. Vice President, the Daimyo of Xiang Shuai himself has heard of it in San Francisco, and he deeply admires his actions. The Chinese are one, if there is anything that needs the Chinese to contribute in this meeting, please squeak, Situ Ding should have the money to contribute and the strength to contribute! ”

For half a century, the Chinese have been sold to the United States as pigs, and those who can survive from the railways, gangsters, the government, and the police can be called a fluke. At this time, it is the time for the country to repay the Chinese, how can it dig meat from them? (To be continued.) )
