Eyes than chaotic Europe. Now the district of the Far East is a good place to enjoy life... Gong Ran had just broken out a South Sea War not long ago, but with the rapid end of the South Sea War, the entire Far East was a scene of warblers singing and dancing, and perhaps the ocean was still a little dangerous because of the existence of the German attack fleet, but on land, there was indeed a drunken atmosphere

After several years of rapid economic development, China's industry and commerce are very prosperous, and the prosperity of industry and commerce has not only brought about financial activity, but also made the entertainment industry develop rapidly. Traditional theater and opera have ushered in a glorious period, and at the same time, all kinds of Western-style entertainment and pastimes are also very popular, not to mention movies and dramas, and even bridge cards from the West have gradually become an entertainment item that is not lacking in the social activities of the upper class.

As for Western-style hotels and restaurants, there are even more, and these Western-style hotels and restaurants are quite popular with the upper class in China's big cities today.

As the capital, there are many Western-style hotels and restaurants in and out of Beijing, among which the most famous is naturally the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, where the guests are mostly foreigners and compradors, and the favorite Western-style hotel for Chinese businessmen and industrialists is the "Xishan Hotel" in Xishan. "Since Xishan is also a summer resort, often in the summer, Xishan Hotel is always full, and you must book a room many days in advance, otherwise. The only option is to choose a slightly inferior Western-style hotel.

Now, in this Xishan Hotel, a grand dinner is being held here, this is not an ordinary dinner, but a reception banquet organized by the government, attended by celebrities and elites, and the guests of honor are the Chinese political delegation from far away Nanyang. This banquet was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the banquet, the entire banquet hall of the Xishan Hotel tonight has actually been contracted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and enough security forces have been transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the person who presided over the banquet is Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, although Zhao Zhenhua, President of the Republic of China, did not personally attend the banquet, but out of politeness, Mr. President still specially sent two plenipotentiaries, these two plenipotentiaries are political commissar Yang Du and Tang Hualong, They will be hosting tonight's banquet with Tang Shaoyi.

Now, the banquet is coming to an end, the guests and hosts are all happy, taking advantage of the high spirits of the people, Tang Shaoyi proposed to watch a movie in the market, this is a documentary that reflects the customs of all parts of China, the north and south of the river, the Western Regions, the customs and folk customs are all in the black and white picture, considering that most of the Chinese in Nanyang are from the southeast coastal area, therefore, it is indeed necessary for them to take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, look at the wind and snow outside the Sai, and then look at the icebergs of the Western Regions, and use the intuitive picture to instill the guests with the "motherland." concept.

Most of the people followed Tang Hualong to the hotel auditorium Deng and watched a movie, as for Tang Shaoyi, he did not rush to the auditorium immediately, but met with Yang Du in a small conference room The two leaders of the Nanyang Chinese political delegation, one is Gong Chuntai and the other is Hu Hanmin.

Yesterday, Tang Shaoyi had already conveyed President Zhao Da's views on the "Nanyang Experimental Field" to Hu Hanmin and Gong Chuntai, and now they are ready to have an in-depth discussion on this topic, after all, Tang Shaoyi and Hu Hanmin are both faithful believers in constitutional government, and Mr. President's decision has made the two very excited. They all wanted to study carefully how to implement the constitutional system in Nanyang.

As for Yang Du and Gong Chuntai, they volunteered to participate in this discussion, but as for the purpose, they were different, Yang Du wanted to hear what kind of views Hu Hanmin and the League would have on constitutional matters, while Gong Chuntai came here completely as the president's eyes and ears, and he knew nothing about constitutionalism. He didn't have his own position, but he just thought that it was inappropriate to let the League share the fruits of victory in the Nanyang War with the Fellow Townspeople's Association, after all, although the Alliance made a lot of contributions in the Nanyang War, there was also a lot of friction with the Fellow Townsmen's Association, in Gong Chuntai's opinion. If the League and the Townsfolk Association were allowed to alternate between the two parties in Sumatra and Java in the future, he was afraid that the local political situation would be even more chaotic, and as a revolutionary from the Hui Party, he trusted the pyramid political structure more.

Originally, Tang Shaoyi planned to discuss the topic of constitutionalism in depth with Hu Hanmin, but since Yang Du and Gong Chuntai were also present, it was inconvenient to say some things, and as for the comparison of politics, it was even more inconvenient for the two to talk about it, so the atmosphere of this discussion could not be raised, and they soon lost interest in discussion.

Fortunately, several people are bridge lovers, there is nothing to say, simply pull a table in the conference room to play bridge, rare leisure, a few people this bridge is more than an hour, until a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs walked into the conference room, whispered a few words in Tang Shaoyi's ear, this game is still unfinished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are still some urgent matters that need to be handled by Tang in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I will entrust it to you, I will go back to the ministry, please apologize to the Nanyang representatives on my behalf, and get together with them another day."

Tang Shaoyi confessed, hurriedly left the hotel, got into the car, and ordered the driver to go straight to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Xishan is a long way from Beijing, and by the time Tang Shaoyi rushed back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was already late at night, and there were no people to be seen on the street.

Entering the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tang Shaoyi immediately saw the Russian Chargé d'Affaires in China, Mr. Misovitz, and the reason why he was in such a hurry to rush back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That's because of that. Chargé d'affaires of Russia.

Kosoviz came to submit a formal written protest to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that is why. As Minister of Foreign Affairs,. Lu Yi had to meet with Kusovigan at the Outer Strip Department to see if he would accept the protest. Lie to President Merr's meaning.

The written protest document submitted by Kosovidz was drafted on his behalf, and was about the Russian Civil War, which insisted that China was "rude and rude." Therefore, the Russian Provisional Government strongly protested and suggested that the Chinese Central Government immediately stop interfering in Russia's internal affairs, recall all those who carried out cross-border military missions, and stop diplomatic and military support for the tsarist government.

The written protest document bears the signatures of the British Ambassadors to China and the French Ambassadors to China, and the two ambassadors have made a point of indicating under their signatures. This was signed by order of the foreign affairs departments of the two governments, which means that the Chinese Foreign Minister is telling the Chinese Foreign Minister that the British and French governments have the same position on the Russian Provisional Government's protest against China, and they also believe that China should immediately stop interfering in Russia's internal affairs.

This is not a trivial matter, not to mention, diplomacy has never been a trivial matter, so Tang Shaoyi will rush back as soon as he gets the news, and at this time. The Russian representative in China had been waiting anxiously in the Foreign Ministry for hours. "Mr. Chargé d'Affaires, it's too late. Obviously, the President has rested, and I can accept this protest document for the time being, but this does not mean that we have now accepted the protest of the Provisional Government of your country, and when the working hours are up tomorrow, I will inform the Presidential Office of the contents of this protest document as soon as possible, and see what Mr. President means, and then give an official reply to the Provisional Government of your country. ”

In accordance with diplomatic etiquette, Tang Shaoyi temporarily accepted the protest document, but did not open it to show his dissatisfaction with the Russian side, after all. Now is not working time, and the Russian side chose this time to submit the protest documents, which is somewhat arbitrary. It is very impolite diplomatically.

"Mr. Tang, please tell the President of your country that the Russian Republican Government attaches great importance to the issue of civil war, and if your government insists on interfering in the Russian Civil War, the Russian Republican Government will not rule out the use of force to expel the Chinese armed personnel in Russia, and if it is resisted, the Russian ** team will exercise the right of self-defense!"

Seeing that Tang Shaoyi did not mean to hand the document to the presidential palace immediately, Kosovitz couldn't help but raise his anger, and he threatened to say that he was dancing with his teeth and claws.

"I cannot agree with the so-called "Chinese armed personnel" by Mr. Chargé d'affaires, in fact, according to the information I have received, the Chinese citizens who are currently participating in the Far Eastern Army are all Chinese. They do not represent the central government of China, nor do they represent all Chinese, after all, the law gives citizens the power to act freely. The government has no right to interfere with the freedom of movement of citizens, and in fact, in the Far Eastern Corps, there are not only Chinese citizens, but also Japanese citizens, and even quite a few Korean ronin, and I wonder if your government has submitted a protest document to the Japanese government. ”

Seeing that the other party was rude, Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but feel a little angry and refuted the other party's point of view.

"According to reliable information received by the Russian government. Just a few days ago, some Chinese-made bombers attacked the troops of the Russian republican government under the cover of fighter planes, destroyed a railway station, and caused the front-line republican troops to be unable to move a strong attack, according to the analysis of the Russian government, the only people who can fly those heavy bombers can only be Chinese active soldiers, and the so-called volunteers of the Far East Army Corps cannot fly that kind of heavy bombers at all, and considering that the fighters equipped by the Far East Army are also made in China. Well, the evidence of your government's intervention in the Russian Civil War is very conclusive, for this. The views of the British and French governments are similar

"Unfortunately, I can't agree with you at all. Please return to the embassy and wait for news. Tomorrow, as soon as the President replies, I will convey it to Mr. Chargé d'Affaires. ”

Tang Shaoyi didn't have time to talk to Gausovitz. After a diplomatic rhetoric, he called Gorsowitz and left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then he made a phone call to the presidential palace to ask the chamberlain whether the president had rested.

The president did not rest and was still working, so Tang Shaoyi quickly got a clear answer from the president.

"Ignore it! No protests accepted! ”

Tang Shaoyi was not at all surprised by the president's reply, he knew very well that the current situation in Russia did not allow Russia to attack China at all. In that case, China would be given ample reasons to strike back, and if Russia insisted on going its own way, the British and French governments might be able to put a stop to the stupidity of the Russian Provisional Government, because they knew very well that if China declared war on Russia, Britain and France would have to invoke the Entente against Russia. Declaring war on China would have officially spread the war in Europe to Asia, and Germany would have an ally in the Far East with considerable land forces, which Britain and France were not willing to see.

Therefore, the president's reply was not ambiguous at all, and Tang Shaoyi also held the same view.

Of course, as a necessary posture and necessary precautions, on the morning of the next day, at the same time that Tang Shaoyi conveyed the official reply of the President and the Central Government to the Russian Chargé d'Affaires in China, after consulting with the political commissars, Zhao Zhenhua, President of the Republic of China, also formally issued an army mobilization order to the War Department and the General Staff. A total of 1.5 million troops were mobilized. If you want to know what happened next, please log in, more chapters, support for it
