What does spring symbolize?

In any case, with the arrival of spring, everything recovers, and the most important thing is that when the temperature rises, the snow that originally covered the ground has basically melted.

And then there are the green meadows―――――― of course, in some places they have turned into muddy mud because of the melting snow.

But at least Yan Shao will not be like this here, in the surroundings of the Presidential Palace, because of the arrival of spring, green grass has begun to spread all around the Presidential Palace. Especially in the garden behind the presidential palace, patches of green have emerged, making people almost forget the snow white of not long ago...

Perhaps because the weather has become better and the environment has become much stronger than before, Yan Shao and Elaline came to the garden behind the presidential palace and had a group picnic. Even Katarina, who had a big belly, went out into the garden with the help of the maid.

In the middle of the garden, a long table sits in the center of the garden, and on top of the colorful tablecloth, are plates of snacks and other delicious food. Naturally, Yan Shao's favorite juice is indispensable.

On the other hand, after excluding factors such as work, Yan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, while holding Fumiko, looked at the family members sitting around him, Elaino, Lu Ying, Otsuki Kaoru, Xiaoyu, and Fumiko in his arms and Katarina, who was sitting on the side, still smiling despite some struggle, Yan Shao couldn't help but have a feeling of happiness.

What could be better in this world than a family sitting together for a picnic. What about the happier things...

Of course, that kind of family is no different from enemies, and it can basically be excluded.

"Give. This is your favorite food..."After sandwiching some of Caterina's favorite dishes from the plate, Yan Shao put them in Caterina's bowl.

Perhaps because of the pregnancy, Katerina's figure is a little more bloated than in the past, and even the originally cold face has become much gentler because of this―――――― of course, ignoring the scar on his face.

Caterina looked a little annoyed by this. After all, she is not a soft-hearted person, but Yan Shao himself feels that it doesn't matter. Anyway, if you are fat, you can lose it back next.

How to say it. Although he is in his 30s and close to 40 years old, Yan Shao still insists on running.

However, Yan Shao definitely didn't start running now, he hadn't crossed over yet. I already have a hobby of running. And that's why it happened. It's because he used to be a 190-pound meat ball, and then for many reasons, the most important thing is that he feels that he shouldn't go on like this.

So he decisively chose to exercise, and finally reduced his weight from 190 pounds to more than 140 pounds in half a year. All of a sudden, he changed from a ball of meat to a slightly fat young man.

But at that time, Yan Shaoke didn't like running as much as he does now.

Now...

The pressure is greater than before. After all, I have 4 wives and want to satisfy these 4 wives. The physical demands on myself are very high...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the table, it can almost be said that Yan Shao's family likes to eat, plus the surrounding environment is good, and now they have nothing to worry about, so the appetite of several people is very good―――――― maybe it would be better to exclude Fumiko.

There's no way, who told Yan Shao that when he was eating, he didn't forget to care about Fumiko's homework.

Although Fumiko can also be called smart and clever, she is far from being a scholar. And the nature of parents is usually to hope that their children can achieve better grades, as a result, Fumiko's life is a little bit miserable...

It is precisely because of this that when she looked at Yan Xiaoyu, who was a little carefree next to her, Fumiko's eyes were slightly envious.

However, as long as she thought that in a few years, Yan Xiaoyu would be like her, Fumiko's mentality became much more balanced.

"Uncle, I want to eat that..."Although she was already in her teens, and in some places she was already old enough to get married, Fumiko still sat in Yan Shao's arms, and then pointed to a dish that was far away.

Yan Shao, who didn't feel that there was anything wrong, just smiled after hearing Fumiko's request, and then stretched out his chopsticks and helped Fumiko get what he wanted.

Yan Shao really regarded Fumiko as his daughter, and on the other hand, the surrounding Elano was talking about something around Kaoru Otsuki.

What they are talking about is naturally the marriage between Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru.

As Yan Shao's lover, Otsuki Kaoru has been with Yan Shao for many years. In other words, it's time for Yan Shao to give her a name. The reason why I didn't do this at the beginning was because when Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru had a leg, it happened to be the eve of Yan Shao and Elanon's marriage, and at this time, adding a name to it temporarily was inevitably a little too bad―――――― of course, hooking up with a wife before getting married is not a very appropriate thing in itself.

And after that, it should have been a year or two to marry Kaoru Otsuki, after all, I always have to give the other party an explanation.

But! At that time, the First World War happened again, and it seems that there is no need to say much about what happened after that. Because of the First World War, although Yan Shao also had a little bit of free time, most of the time was devoted to work.

What's more, there was a war going on at that time, and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces were fighting bloodily in Europe for the interests of China, and it was obviously impossible for Yan Shao to marry Otsuki Kaoru at this time.

After all, when people were bleeding or even dying because of Yan Shao's order, Yan Shao held a wedding here. And then marry a beautiful woman or something, this is inevitably too inappropriate...

So...

We can only delay it for the time being and wait until the war is over.

Kaoru Otsuki also understands this. After all, if you are a woman of Yan Shao, you have to understand all of his qiē, including his work.

It's just that when I finally waited for the war to end, it seemed that it was time to get married, but there was a Versailles Peace Conference. Well, it doesn't seem like much either. Anyway, the peace conference is over.

And because some of the leaders of other countries at the peace conference at that time knew that Yan Shao planned to wait until the end of the peace conference to get married, so in the process of the peace conference. Basically, they have blessed Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru―――――― well, not to mention what they think about Yan Shao actually having four wives for the time being, at least they did bless them on the surface.

In fact, I heard after that. There are really a few leaders who express envy, jealousy, and hatred. After all, men, in addition to power, wine and food, the hobby after that is beauty.

But for various reasons, they can only marry one wife, and they are all about the same age, seeing that Yan Shao has married three at a time, and will marry one next, he is naturally envious.

For this envy. Yan Shao also smiled as a matter of course.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Anyway, the wedding has finally been decided. After the peace conference, he had to go back to China to have a wedding, and then, the Sino-Japanese war broke out, and China and Japan were in a mess in Korea. In this case, it is obviously more unsuitable for a wedding than during the European War, especially considering Kaoru Otsuki's sensitive identity.

Fortunately, China in this period was obviously still somewhat rational, and of course, the most important thing was that Yan Shao was in control of the overall situation. Therefore, although some people mentioned that they would take all the Japanese in China into custody and wait until the war was over, Yan Shao still vetoed this mention.

Of course, it is also because of this that there are very few Chinese persecuted in Japan―――――― there is no doubt that if there is a war between China and Japan, those Japanese who have some problems in their heads will definitely find trouble with the Chinese in Japan, although because of many relationships, it will certainly not be as excessive as during the Anti-Japanese War, but some things are still relatively difficult to say.

However, after the outbreak of the war, Yan Shao once wrote a handwritten letter to Youpeng in Yama Prefecture, Japan, which made it very clear that if there was any large-scale accident among the Chinese in Japan, then...

How many people died, Yan Shao had to let the same number of Japanese in China accompany the burial.

The reason is as simple as that, Yan Shao didn't say anything ――――――if one died, and if he had to be buried with ten, there was no way, and there were not so many Japanese in China, even if he wanted to find out, I am afraid it would be very difficult.

It is also for this reason that although the war has been fought for more than a year, there are few rumors of Chinese attacks on the Japanese side. It can't be said that there is no, after all, even the Meiji Emperor can't control all the Japanese, but he finally controls the whole form...

Anyway, now that the war is finally over, it can come to an end, and Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru seem to be able to finally consider their marriage.

Because of the relationship that has been delayed for many years, Yan Shao has a deep sense of indebtedness to Otsuki Kaoru, so the wedding naturally can't be too shabby.

In addition, in the whole wedding, there is only Kaoru Otsuki, so it will undoubtedly look very dazzling. However, although Elaline and the others were envious, they were not very jealous, after all, Kaoru Otsuki had waited for many years for this wedding...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just as Elano and the others were discussing the wedding around Kaoru Otsuki, a maid suddenly walked in outside the door, and said in person after coming to Yan Shao and them.

"President, Minister Gu is here, saying that he wants to see you for something..."

"Gu Weijun?"

"That's right."

Hearing her say this, Yan Shao nodded slightly, and after thinking about it again, he spoke. "In that case, then you let him in..."

Anyway, in the garden, Yan Shao didn't have any uncovered meetings with Elaine, it was just a very ordinary family dinner, and he didn't have to worry about anything that couldn't be seen, so naturally he didn't have to worry.

On the other hand, after hearing Yan Shao's words. Elino and the others, who were discussing the wedding, also sat up slightly straighter, but they still gathered there to continue to discuss the topics they cared about.

After a while. Gu Weijun walked in from outside, first glanced at Elano and the others, and then looked at Yan Shaodao without squinting. "Great President."

"Sit down, sit down first..."Glancing at Gu Weijun, Yan Shao said with a slight smile. What's wrong, what's the matter? ”

"That's right, the Iranian side has already sent back the news. Wang Xing in Tehran has already given the Iranians your terms, and it seems that the Iranians are indeed very interested. It's just..."

Speaking of this, Gu Weijun paused, and at the same time, Yan Shao asked with some curiosity. "Just what?"

At this time, sitting in Yan Shao's arms, Fumiko also looked curious.

On the other hand. Maybe it's because Fumiko often sits in Yan Shao's arms. Listening to Yan Shao and them talk about some things related to politics, Gu Weijun was more or less used to it. After all, Fumiko was already like this when she was very young, although she has grown up a lot now, but because of her habitual thinking, Gu Weijun really doesn't care much.

So he spoke very directly. "According to the meaning of the Iranians, they hope that we can guarantee that the British will not do anything drastic after learning about this..."

"Excesses?"

"Yes, it seems that they are worried about the British after they find out about it. Something will be done to them unfavorably, so I hope we can get the consent of the British first..."

"These Iranians..."Hearing Gu Weijun say this. Yan Shao finally understood it thoroughly, but while he understood, he couldn't help but shake his head.

It's no wonder that Yan Shao is like this, after all, this matter is not a big deal in nature. How to say it, in Yan Shao's opinion, they can sign a secret treaty with the Iranians, that is, the kind of secret treaty that no one knows except the two sides, so the British naturally do not know.

Considering how backward the means of communication are in this era, Yan Shao is not worried about this problem at all.

I don't worry that the British will know about the secret agreement signed between China and Iran, at least when the British know about it, the agreement has already been signed, and I believe that the British will not be able to help them at all. Who would have thought that the Iranians would be so timid and afraid that they would have to inform the British of the matter first.

"I think they're scared of the British, that's why they're like this..."

"It seems so, right." Hearing Yan Shao's words, Gu Weijun also nodded and said with an approving expression, but then Yan Shao asked again. "So what's next? Is it according to the meaning of the Iranians, first only the British. ”

"Is this..."Yan Shao pursed his lips before speaking. As I recall, your negotiations with the British must have been almost there. ”

"What do you mean?" As if he understood something, Gu Weijun asked softly.

"It's a matter of raising the diplomatic ranks."

As the world's leading power, the British continue to maintain diplomatic relations with China at the ministerial level, which seems to be a little inappropriate in any way. It is for this reason that China has been negotiating with countries such as Britain and France in this regard.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, because many things are actually already set in stone. Could it be that Britain and France, as well as other Western countries, can ignore China's existence?

In other words, it only takes time to do it.

Even during the war in Europe, there was a bet that it would take only a week for the British, China, and the rest of the Entente to do so.

Who knew that after the collapse of Russia, China took the opportunity to stab Russia and snatched a large amount of territory from it, which directly led to the birth of the theory of the China threat―――――― of course, followed by the theory of China's collapse.

Because of this threat theory, the elevation of diplomatic status between China and other countries can be said to have been delayed almost indefinitely. Especially after the outbreak of the Korean War, it cast a shadow on this matter. But now that the war is over, people always have to look forward, so the negotiations have started again.

As mentioned earlier, neither the United Kingdom, France, nor the United States can ignore China's existence.

So...

As long as there are no political obstacles, this aspect of things will simply come naturally. Now, the matter has basically been negotiated, and only Yan Shao and the leaders of the United Kingdom and other countries are left to nod.

"Let's talk about this matter first..."Touching his chin, Yan Shao spoke. Also, be prepared for what the British are not going to agree to..."

"What do you mean?"

"If the British don't agree, then we can only find a way to get the Iranians to agree, if the Iranians don't agree either, then we have to find a way to change the Iranian who will agree to come to power..." Needless to say, Iran's importance, even for the sake of the Middle East provinces, we must build this railway! ”

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Gu Weijun lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then nodded solemnly, obviously agreeing with Yan Shao's words.

As one of the many ministers in the cabinet, Gu Weijun is also a person who knows the secrets of those provinces in the Middle East, so he naturally knows how important those provinces are.

It can be said that even if China loses all of Central Asia, it must not lose it there ...

So, there doesn't seem to be anything unreasonable about taking some physical measures when necessary. (To be continued......)
