Britain, France, the United States and other countries showed great appreciation for Gu Weijun's wonderful speech, praising him as an excellent diplomat, but it is a pity that it is only a compliment, they are not willing to agree to China's demands at all, the privileges of the great powers in China cannot be canceled at all, the concessions and the port cities invaded cannot be returned, and the right to free tariffs cannot be relaxed.

As for the Shandong issue, the controversy is also very big, and the British and French also want to limit the growth of China's strength, and of course they do not want to take advantage of themselves.

Therefore, Britain and France reached an agreement with the Chinese people, that is, they would take on the task of intervening in Russia in the Far East in exchange for the rights and interests of Shandong.

In the early days of the peace conference, many media scholars expressed great recognition of the peace conference, believing that these world's most powerful politicians would make reasonable arrangements for the long-term peace of the world, so that the people could never avoid the threat of world war, but when the media knew that the leaders of Britain, France and the United States were chattering like small traders and vendors in the vegetable market for a little profit, they were all disappointed, and it was just a dirty spoils sharing event. A couple of unscrupulous rogue bosses are engaged in various deals.

At this time, there was also a sense of unease in Europe, the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, the program of the majority of the parties spread throughout Europe, the workers and peasants of Britain and France had endured too many disasters in the war, and finally the First World War was over, and the raging flu was reaping the harvest of life, and Britain and France were actually preparing to interfere in the Russian revolution and once again send the soldiers who had just been freed from the war back into the war.

Suddenly the whole of Europe was boiling, all kinds of workers' organizations sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, demonstrations were continuous, and the supporters of the majority party, apolitical axeists, pacifists, trade union leaders, and sociologists made various speeches and strongly criticized the Paris Peace Conference.

There were also a considerable number of voices of grievances against China, which had made great contributions to the Entente, but did not even receive the most basic respect during the peace conference, and the people still clearly remembered who held their production posts in the midst of the artillery fire, who pioneered new tactics and finally broke through the German defenses, and who discovered the miraculous sulfonamide and rescued them from the terrible flu.

Just after the Paris Peace Conference rejected China's demands, demonstrations on an unprecedented scale broke out in France, and at this time, there were still 120,000 Chinese laborers in Paris who had not returned to China, and there were still more than 200,000 Chinese workers in Bordeaux and other places.

On April 30, 1919, the number of people marching in Paris, France, exceeded 300,000, and this number was constantly refreshed, and the scope was getting bigger and bigger, and soon it spread to all the major cities of France, and the angry crowd gathered into countless torrents, flocking to the Palace of Versailles, and the earth-shattering shouts made the major giants feel a burst of heartbeat.

This unprecedented scale of the march soon spread to the United Kingdom, followed by the United States, and on May 4 the outbreak of demonstrations in China pushed the global demonstrations to the top of the world, Shanghai, Yanjing, Yucheng, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Wuchang, Nanjing and other major cities A total of more than three million people took to the streets, students and enthusiastic young people became the vanguard of this movement, and the embassy districts of the Chinese concessions were all surrounded by layers of demonstrators.

Stones, bricks, dung, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves were constantly thrown into the embassy, among which the embassy bore the brunt, and the arrogant Yuben ronin also became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, holding their heads and scurrying, and did not dare to go to the street at all, although there were no serious problems in the concession under the protection of the [***] police, but the Chinese tacitly cut off all kinds of supplies, water, electricity, grain, vegetables, and coal were all cut off, without these supplies, the former prosperous concession is now like a dead city.

China broke out in an unprecedented scale of demonstrations continued, Britain and France colonies also began to be involved, of which India is the main place of instigation, Britain as early as the outbreak of World War I assured India that as long as India can fight for Britain, they can be free, Britain will give the gift of reading, who knows that after the end of the war, the British have long put aside the promise, and think about how to increase the intensity of looting, in order to fill the gap in the war.

India is the core of the British colonial order, once India is unstable, the scope of the spread is getting bigger and bigger, and the three Indochinese countries have also joined in, Australia, New Zealand, and African countries have also appeared large-scale waves of demonstrations, so far the demonstrations have spread all over the world.

U.S. President Wilson in Paris, British Prime Minister Lloyd Georges, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and others are like ants on a hot pot, restless, Clemenceau is almost eighty years old at this time, but the old guy is in good spirits, short-tempered, and is known as the tiger prime minister.

"Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, this kind of march and strike is absolutely premeditated, the result of the instigation of the damned Chinese and those more bastard majority party members, we must not have any retreat, I propose to use the army to suppress it, completely suppress these bad elements!"

Wilson shrugged his shoulders from the side: "Your Excellency, our soldiers are also participating in the parade!" ”

Lloyd George also looked helpless and said: "That's right, I dare to guarantee that as long as we use soldiers to suppress these marchers, what awaits us is a mutiny, and it will be an even more terrible disaster!" ”

"Mr. Prime Minister is right, we should adopt a more rational attitude towards this strike movement of unprecedented scale, the people have accumulated too much discontent in the war, and now they need a channel to vent, I think only by giving up colonial oppression and treating everyone equally can we get the support and recognition of the people!" Wilson was pitching his idea again, but Clemenceau and Lloyd George simply didn't have time to listen.

Just when the three giants were at a loss, someone suddenly ran in in a panic, "Mr. Prime Minister, something is wrong, Chinese laborers have occupied the Louvre!" ”

Clemenceau heard the three words of the Louvre, suddenly dizzy, the Louvre is the oldest, largest, most famous museum in France, also enjoys a good reputation in the world, it can be said that this is one of the symbols of Paris and even France, the status is very important, which treasures countless treasures, all of them are the most precious art treasures, originally this should be the most heavily guarded area, but due to the continuous demonstrations, the French political axe had to send a large number of police to maintain order, Correspondingly, there are loopholes in law and order.

Tens of thousands of Chinese demonstrators, led by some vigorous young people, went straight to the Louvre, usually the Louvre is definitely very tightly guarded, but it is a pity that now the wave of demonstrations has swept France, even the guards are involved, and the guards of the Louvre are mostly aimed at thieves and thieves, and there will definitely not be a large number of French people who will storm here, even in the war, for these art palaces should also be properly avoided to avoid damage, Thus, the Chinese successfully controlled this undefended treasure trove of art.

"Compatriots, this is the largest museum in France, famous all over the world, but I would say that it is all the artistic treasures that France has stolen from other countries, all of them are stolen goods, this is a magnificent den of thieves, and the French have no shame to show off, this is the face of the French political axe, it looks brilliant, but under this halo it is all dirty and ugly!"

The man who was introducing the history of the Louvre before the procession was named Zhuang Wenshan, a journalist, and there were many such lecturers in the huge procession, who not only publicized to the Chinese laborers, but also distributed a large number of leaflets to the French, including a list of Chinese cultural relics plundered by the French, and accused the French of crimes in the past.

At this time, there were many students and businessmen and politicians from other colonial countries in Paris, and they also knew very well that the Louvre had the artistic treasures of their motherland, and since the Chinese had occupied the Louvre, it was also a rare opportunity for them to be able to fish in troubled waters, so the whole Paris was shaken, and more and more people flocked to the Louvre.

At this time, Zhuang Wenshan seemed even more excited, and moved a barrel of gasoline out: "Compatriots, four years ago, we came to France regardless of our previous grievances and contributed our sweat to the Entente, but four years later our motherland could not even get fair treatment, this is the shame of every Chinese, here on behalf of the big guys, I put forward only one condition to the French, that is, to unconditionally agree to the request of the Chinese delegation, otherwise let us be reduced to ashes with the Louvre!" ”

Zhuang Wenshan's speech was quickly translated into French and English, at this time a large number of reporters and military police had arrived, after hearing Zhuang Wenshan's words, they also felt a cold flutter on their necks, the Chinese are usually silent, but once they act, they are so terrible, they actually want to turn the Louvre into ashes, which is definitely the craziest kidnapping plan in human history.

Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't doubt at all that at this time tens of thousands of Chinese workers had surrounded the Louvre, and there were at least hundreds of gasoline barrels among them, as long as one of them was ignited, the pride of France would suffer huge losses, and at this time some gasoline barrels were also placed inside the Louvre, and the French [***] police who rushed to the scene were all dumbfounded, no one had ever encountered this situation, how to deal with it, they didn't have any idea at all, they could only ask their superiors, The report was sent directly to Clemenceau and others.

Prime Minister Tiger was also cold at this time: "Shameless, shameless kidnappers, oh my God! They kidnapped the Louvre, these damn yellow-skinned monkeys I'm going to tear them apart! ”

But Clemenceau could only say a few harsh words, and now Paris was in chaos, with marchers blocking the streets and alleys, and the French army could not move quickly, and even if it did, it would be difficult to cope with such a sudden change.
