Chapter 567 Gu Weijun, Far East Layout
"Bang dang! Bang Dang! ”
The green train running on second-hand railroad tracks at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour makes a monotonous sound that makes you want to sleep. The old-fashioned tin gadget, which has basically been withdrawn from use in this world, was a rare luxury in the early twentieth century of the second plane.
As a special train for the mission, especially Yang Hao's distinguished status as a "special envoy of the head of state", and on behalf of the strongest country in the world today, he went out to engage in diplomacy, and his façade efforts were quite in place.
The exterior of the green car is painted in alternating red and green colors, with gold trim accents that represent nobility. The car is all heated, and even if you run in the Northeast Wasteland, where the cold wind is still howling, the temperature inside still makes it impossible to wear even a sweater.
Teak wood from Southeast Asia is inlaid in every inch of the car, which requires space for wood, and as a special envoy's private compartment, it occupies an entire carriage, and the furnishings inside can be called luxurious and high-end. Chinese favorite rosewood, yellow pear and other wood furniture is everywhere, and the floor is covered with carpets from Central Asia, soft enough to make falling eggs bounce.
The bulletproof structure of the body compartment on all sides can be immune to rifle bullets used in countries around the world today. Unless you use the 12.7mm armor-piercing shells equipped with the Chinese special forces, don't try to tear through the thick armor that can withstand the fragmentation of 100mm shells.
Even the carriages used by the entourage are all decorated with high-end atmosphere, both modern and advanced fashion, and traditional elegance and wealth, which can be called the master of oriental art.
At the bow and tail of the special train, there were two platoons of elite guards, not only large-caliber heavy machine guns and recoilless guns against the ground, but also parallel heavy machine guns against the air. More than enough to deal with propeller aircraft that were just starting out in this era.
This was supposed to be a special train for His Excellency the Great Führer. Now it is given to travel to distant Europe. The mount of the envoy to negotiate with Tsarist Maozi can be seen how highly it is valued. This also made the young diplomats who were selected to be selected not only excited but also worried.
Gu Weijun is like this.
Invited into the center of the special train, the carriage reserved for the head of state, which had rarely been entered before, the young man was nervous and cramped, and his body tensed as he sat on the chair, only to feel that the bursts of heat from the inside out seemed to be out of breath.
Yang Hao observed him from the opposite side with a wicked taste, as if he wanted to make a fool of this diplomatic genius who was recorded in history. before he gave up.
Anyone who knows anything about China's diplomatic history must say "convinced" to Gu Weijun's achievements. He is the person who truly broke the concept of "a weak country has no diplomacy", and did his best to obtain the greatest fair results in the international arena many times in the dilapidated era of China, and tried his best to save face and interests for the country that was humiliated by the great powers.
It is not an exaggeration to say "great" to describe his outstanding achievements.
And the reason why he was rated by Gu Jiegang as half of the two semi-strong men in modern Chinese diplomacy is because he is the lowest status, the weakest support, and the worst situation under Premier Zhou and Li Zhongtang. In terms of diplomatic skills and achievements alone, he is by no means weaker than any of them.
is such a history bull, even if he is only twenty-two years old, he has just returned from the United States with a doctorate in advance. But it has already shown a little admirable speciality.
Yang Hao didn't get the desired result.
Sitting here in the nineties, just his strange gaze. is enough to slam the door angrily, so that there is no leisure to serve.
After all, Gu Weijun is a man with great ambitions since he was young, and he can make up his mind to fight for the strength of the country at the age of sixteen, and he cannot be compared with those immature children in the 21st century who are not mature at the age of 30.
In this era, aspiring teenagers who have experienced the grievances of the late Qing Dynasty are often precocious, and they can look at their families and countries in their teens, and the rise and fall of the nation, which is really not something that people in the era of peace can imagine.
The thick double-layer bulletproof glass windows insulate the invasion of the cold outside, and also make the monotonous and boring wheel-rail collision sound less harsh, but the hypnotic effect is even more hypnotic.
Gu Weijun's head was full of various thoughts, and after thinking about it, he couldn't find out such a number one person as Yang Ziyan from the news he learned. But last night's father-in-law-to-be, Tang Shaoyi's ear and face order, made him always have a sense of vigilance: "Strictly follow his orders, don't make your own decisions." ”
Even Minister Tang can't see through the characters that he can't guess, and he is by no means idle.
And things turned out to be as expected. From the beginning of the mission from the capital to the exit of Shanhaiguan, His Excellency did not show up, nor did he issue any orders. When he ran to Harbin, he suddenly called people over one by one to talk. What was specifically discussed was kept secret from everyone else.
Gu Weijun was the last to be called, but he was the deputy who was accidentally appointed, which is a bit intriguing.
In his eyes, Yang Hao is really too mysterious. There is no origin, no story, it seems to appear out of thin air, but it can be fully trusted by His Excellency the Führer, and it can make the senior members of the older generation secret.
Who the hell is he? Why was he allowed to preside over such an important matter?
The most important thing is that he always looks at himself with that kind of weird eyes, what's going on!
Gu Weijun forcibly complained about **, and tried his best to restrain himself from showing rudeness, but the tight lip line showed the slightest displeasure in his heart without concealment.
"After all, he is still a young man who has not experienced the wind and waves!"
Yang Hao was a little proud, quite a pleasure of bullying historical celebrities, this is a complete bad taste!
He adjusted his posture slightly, crossed his hands on the table, smiled faintly, and said, "Mind asking you a personal question?" ”
Gu Weijun was stunned, how could he come up and ask irrelevant things? Shouldn't it be his views on foreign affairs, or his thoughts on this mission?
"Maybe it's another unique method of investigation."
Gu Weijun simply regarded Yang Hao as the backbone of a Fuhrer's Excellency, or a representative of the secret development of the youth elite force-the existence of the YMCA and the "Huaxing Society" is not a top secret in the eyes and ears of the upper echelons. Gu Weijun's father is the general manager of the Bank of Communications, and his father-in-law is the foreign minister. This bit of news can still be inquired about. Meantime. He also entered the field of vision of development personnel early. He became a probationary member when he was at Peiyang University.
Having seen more strange ceremonies in the United States, Gu Weijun didn't think much about it and nodded cautiously.
Yang Hao showed a little strange smile and asked, "I don't understand, why don't you all like the family affairs given at home?" Just because it was an arranged marriage? There was no relationship cultivation process between the two before? Or do you dislike them for wrapping their little feet? Or do you think that they are too shallow, only know how to teach each other husband and children, and do not have the taste and interest of trendy fashion? Or is it something else? I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”
"Sure enough, it's no longer a personal question!"
Gu Weijun was full of thoughts of complaining, and felt a little embarrassed.
That's right. He is also a member of the army of "divorced wives" in the other party's words. Not long ago, he proposed to file for divorce from his ex-wife who was engaged at the age of 13 and 16. It's not just that he was in a relationship with the daughter of Minister Tang Shaoyi's family, but he was not satisfied with the marriage from the beginning.
At the age of 16, he was admitted to Peiyang University with excellent grades, and after completing his credits at the age of 18, he went to Columbia University in the United States to study under former Secretary of State John Moore. This is the growth history of a genius student.
In addition, the young man looks like a talent, he has been strictly educated by his father since he was a child, and his demeanor and temperament are outstanding in a combination of Chinese and Western. immediately became the target of the bigwigs in the capital, and was even the daughter of Minister Tang's family. Give early and pursue bravely.
The first independent love in his life suddenly came, and the young Xiao Gu immediately fell into it and couldn't extricate himself, and soon made up his mind to divorce his ex-wife, who had no emotional foundation at all and didn't live together.
Here I have to talk about the marriage system of the new dynasty. Because of the alternation of the old and the new, there were not many twists and turns in the war, and some traditional stubborn policies could not be completely changed for a while.
In terms of marriage, the government encourages monogamy, but does not completely limit the admission of concubines, but only clarifies that concubines are equal and legal citizens, not only protected by the law, no longer being insulted and scolded by the main wife, but also having the right to divide the family property and raise children and offspring in person.
This is a huge improvement over thousands of years of old rules.
At the same time, corresponding restrictions were also put forward for government civil servants, who were not allowed to divorce their wives and remarry at will, let alone cause disputes over concubines, otherwise they would be recorded as a stain and seriously affect their promotion and progress.
In reality, there is a considerable degree of progress. But also because it retains the recognition of the previous parents' orders and matchmakers' words, a whole generation of teenagers is deeply affected and hated. So I don't know if they are in a rebellious psychology or revenge on society, once these young people in their teens and twenties succeed in their studies, whether they join the job or go abroad, almost all of them will divorce their ex-wives.
Nowadays, the divorce lawsuits of thousands of young talents have caused unrest throughout the country, the old masters who are conservative and nostalgic are vomiting blood angrily, and many people are wielding crutches and shouting and killing, but they cannot be implemented. There is nothing to do, young people with modern education are the precious wealth of the country, and they have no right to dispose of them as parents, which will violate the law of the country!
If those divorced ladies and ladies are still not out of the door, they can probably only follow the three obedience and four virtues aggrievedly, and accept the reality helplessly.
Unfortunately, from the very beginning, Yang Haixin intervened in the construction of Peiyang University in a high-profile manner, and insisted on establishing the first public women's college. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1900, it was stipulated by law that all young ladies and wives of school-age families had to go to school for further study.
By now, almost all young women from upper-class families in China have received a higher education of varying lengths. Even if they can't reach the level of college students, there are few old-fashioned women who don't know anything about trendy fashion.
What's more, from the very beginning, they came into contact with the modern fashion concept spread by Yang Haixin, and she took the lead in setting an example as a role model, a banner, and a backstage, and the women's liberation movement across the country and even around the world was launched decades in advance.
Nowadays, many government agencies and companies have begun to have young women in professional clothes to work, although most conservative old masters and old men can't stop muttering unseemly, but there is nothing to be done. The law states that women have equal rights to work, and they oppose it to invalidity!
In this way, those women in their twenties can't change except for their small feet, and there is absolutely no incomprehensible fashion shortcomings for people to grasp. And that shortcoming is now being solved with the help of the newly developed corrective shoe pattern.
The difference between a pair of feet, in addition to not being able to dance with them, really became a heinous crime? It's still the fault of this generation.,It's all the same as those big people in this world.,It's either Lolicon (Guofuguo Party Department) or a marriage maniac.。
Anyone who has never married four wives is embarrassed to say that he is a figure of the Republic of China.
Yang Hao originally thought that after some tossing, there would be no perverted atmosphere in the Republic of China that takes divorce of wives, liking the new and hating the old, and promiscuity as the fashion. But now it seems that the problem is still not small!
Since Gu Weijun has become a member of the army of divorced wives, he has naturally considered this issue. However, being forced to ask such a direct question was still unexpected by him. For a while, there was some speechlessness.
Several reasons have been listed by Yang Hao, can he only choose one of them, and at the same time put the responsibility on his head?
Of course not.
In the end, he is a diplomatic wizard who will become famous in the world in the future, but after a short period of embarrassment, Gu Weijun quickly organized his rhetoric and tactfully defended himself: "The state encourages free love, and does not advocate marriage without any emotional foundation. Moreover, the woman is no longer under the pressure of public opinion because of divorce, and can have the opportunity to seek a satisfactory partner. In the case of mutual acceptance, a peaceful breakup can allow each other to have a more appropriate choice. ”
Yang Hao's mouth couldn't help but crooked, and he said in his heart that from the beginning, Lao Tzu did bad things with good intentions!
Oh, if it weren't for the early advocacy of enlightened education for women, you gangsters would have divorced their wives and remarried, or they would have been scolded for having no conscience, liking the new and hating the old. Okay, now that everyone is a cultural person and a new person, then we should be more able to accept the reality and be brave enough to pursue our own happiness?
This is good, a group of male compatriots have a more upright structure to engage in extramarital affairs, but women are helpless to watch them go away because they can't get rid of the constraints of traditional thinking. The so-called free love, how can they break the feudal shackles formed for thousands of years so easily!
Invisibly, Yang Hao and Yang Haixin became accomplices.
With a feeling of tiredness in his heart, Yang Hao decisively changed the next topic, and asked with a little embarrassment: "Okay." Let's talk about work. Do you have a general understanding of the purpose of this mission? ”
Gu Weijun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his spirits perked up, his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously: "I know, we want to provoke the anger of Tsarist Russia, let them take the initiative to create friction and strife, and win an excuse for the Congress to fight back." ”
This level of agility Yang Hao only has the share of a thumbs up. The ability of people to eat this bowl of rice is incomparable.
With a slight bow of approval, Yang Hao showed a satisfied smile: "Very good." Now that you know the mission, it's up to you to provoke the Russians there when the train arrives in Aihui. You should know the historical significance of this place. ”
"The Treaty of Aihui!" Gu Weijun's eyes were sharp, and the flames were dancing. "The Führer said that the Manchus had signed an unequal treaty there that cost us 600,000 square kilometers of land! Ten years ago, when we were founded, they were trying to stir up disputes and create trouble! If it weren't for the Führer's preparations, I don't know how many people would have been slaughtered! Hmph, this time, they probably want to take advantage of the celebration of the opening of the China Eastern Railway to further test our determination! ”
Yang Hao put away his smile and said solemnly: "The reason why the government has delayed the construction of the Middle East Railway until now, and let us participate in the opening ceremony along the way, is to accurately grasp the timing of the war!" How to provoke the arrogance of Tsarist Russia as much as possible without causing casualties depends on your performance! ”
Gu Weijun got up and said loudly: "Never disappoint the expectations of the Führer!" (To be continued......)
