Chapter XXXVII
On June 27, 1919, the eighth year of the Republic of China, on the eve of the closing of the Paris Peace Conference.
The crescent moon is like a hook, the airship is like a shuttle, and the angel is like a dragon.
Giuseppe Caproni poked her head out of the pod to reveal the majestic Palace of Versailles. The airship descended slowly, the wind ruffling his curls. Named after Julius Caesar, the airship is named after Julius Caesar in ancient Rome and represents Italy's millennial glory.
To their right, the Four-Winged Angel Town Tomb Beast was cruising, its eyes glowing red, adjusting to the same slow speed as an airship, like a big fish swimming around a giant whale.
"Teacher, will we be shot down by the fighters of the French?"
Chanco stood behind Caproni, and he was already familiar with maneuvering airships, and he wouldn't get lost even when he was sailing at night. They rose from the "Poison Forest" in the northern suburbs of Paris and flew slowly over Versailles.
"Last month, the runway of Versailles was damaged by an explosion. This is a great time for us. Caproni looked back at the leaflets piled up in the pod, "The Big Three must be made aware of Italy's demand for justice in the Adriatic. ”
"Yes, if there is a plane coming, the Four-Winged Angel Town Tomb Beast can protect us."
"It's like a bomber going on a mission, there must be fighter escorts!" Caproni is an air hero of the World War, who has escorted airships with gravemons, "But I can't live without you, dear money!" Only your words can control the Grave Beast. ”
"Yes, although the four-winged angel cannot hear me in the air, I have given it instructions before setting sail, and it will carry it out faithfully and never betray."
Caproni continued to look down on the pod: "What do you see that house for? There are many torches around. ”
"Like a five-color flag? It is the residence of our Chinese delegation. Qian Ke frowned, "What's going on?" Someone is going to burn them all to death? ”
A hundred meters below the airship and the four-winged angel town tomb beast, on the ground of Versailles, the hotel in Luteti, where the Chinese delegation was located, has been surrounded by hundreds of torches. These people are all black-haired and black-eyed, and they are speaking in Chinese excitedly: "Fight for national power!" Punish the thieves inside! Refuse to sign! Give me back Qingdao! ”
Angry voices rose one after another, reaching into the sky, not only hearing Caproni and Chanco in the sky, but also seeping into the window panes of the hotel, making the diplomats of the Chinese delegation tremble.
Ouyang Anna was still squatting in the basement, facing the small town tomb beast as a big dog, and reprimanded loudly: "Jiuse, don't move, don't hurt the people outside, otherwise I will let Qin Beiyang clean you up." ”
She told Jiuse to obediently stay underground, and ran to the door to see the situation by herself. The little king rushed through the gate in despair, with rotten eggs in his hair, as a "courtesy" he received as he walked through the crowd of protesters.
He was followed by a Westerner with tousled hair and a wet body, Karl Holstein.
"Why are you back?" Anna used a towel to clean up the rotten eggs for the little county king, "Is Qin Beiyang okay?" ”
"I'm ......," Timur sat on the steps of the stairs dejectedly, "I'm sorry, he's gone." ”
The little county king of Ordos Doro played crazy with his French girlfriend for most of the day, and it was dark when he returned to the apartment building, but he was no longer seen Qin Beiyang. Now he was in a hurry, and he searched every street in the Latin Quarter with the French girl, and even ran to the Seine River to look for it, Qin Beiyang didn't see it, but found Qin Beiyang's father, Qin Customs!
Incredibly, to the sound of Bach's organ, the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast also rushed out of the Louvre. What's even more outrageous is that Lao Qin actually got into the belly of the tomb beast, and the ten horns and seven heads attacked Holstein, forcing the doctor to jump into the Seine River to flee for his life. Two years ago, the three of Xiaojun Wang, Qin Customs, and Doctor opened the underground palace of An Lushan Tomb and dug up this murderous tomb beast.
The little king rescued Holstein from the water, urgently called a taxi, and rushed to the Chinese delegation in Versailles to inform Ouyang Anna of the news.
"As long as Qin Beiyang is still alive, we have a way to control the ten corners and seven heads." The doctor finally spoke, he was still in a state of madness, "Old Qin has gone crazy!" He's controlling the Grave Beast, and I'm guessing he's already in Versailles. ”
Ouyang Anna didn't say a word, and slapped him on the spot.
She also resented Holstein's treachery and imprisoned Qin Beiyang at the airport, and even wanted to avenge Jiuse's being hit by a cannonball.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I just missed the Tomb Beast. I came running overnight to remind you to stay safe. If you don't stop Lao Qin, it will be out of control tonight! ”
Xiaojun Wang Nian said in the old friendship: "The doctor is also for our good." ”
"Fart!" Anna didn't take the little county king in her eyes at all, "Didn't you let you take care of Qin Beiyang every step of the way?" Just know how to hang out with your little nurse. ”
seems to be still in the Department of History of Peking University, and she scolds her head and face, and she almost shaves people's ears. The king of Xiaojun is a dignified member of parliament, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, a hereditary prince of the Ordos grassland, who is in charge of the power of killing hundreds of thousands of subjects, but he also knows that he is wrong, and he was obediently trained as a grandson by a little girl.
There was news upstairs that all the members of the delegation were in a meeting, and Ouyang Anna walked up the stairs angrily.
In the conference room on the second floor, only Qi Yuanshan and Ye Ke were nowhere to be seen. The two men, who claimed to have come to protect the Chinese delegation, were absent on this life-and-death night. The little king sat at the end in embarrassment, hearing the constant protests outside, tonight was an eventful season, and no one could sleep well.
Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang was the first to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard that the patriotic young people have surrounded this place. Liang Qichao was also coaxing outside. There were fifteen work-study youths who had studied in France, claiming to be the Chinese Death Army, and said that if we signed the Treaty of Versailles tomorrow, they would kill us all! ”
"This ...... Where is the royal law? ”
The special envoy of the president couldn't sit still, worried that his life would not be guaranteed tomorrow, and Gu Weijun, the Chinese minister to the United States, answered: "What kind of law is it to cede Shandong and Qingdao to Japan?" ”
"Don't make any noise." Lu Zhengxiang looked sick, "Since May 4, because of the Paris Peace Conference, the domestic situation has become more and more complicated. Some people say that this is called the 'May Fourth Movement' and will certainly change the fate of all Chinese. The government and the opposition in Beijing made a fuss, the Congress resolutely opposed the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and the president sent a secret telegram asking us to sign it! Should I sign it or not? ”
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief! According to the power structure of the Republic of China, our cabinet officials are controlled by the prime minister, who in turn is appointed by the president. In the eyes of the special envoy of the President, the Congress of the Republic of China is just a decoration, "Please follow the instructions of the President and sign the Treaty of Versailles, and we will only carry out the order." ”
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected!" Gu Weijun stood up and said, "Today, I have made a statement to French Foreign Minister Bixun that even if China signs the Treaty of Versailles, it will not recognize the Shandong clause, and we will record this statement." ”
"Shaochuan, you did the right thing, you can sign, but we don't recognize the rights and interests of Shandong as belonging to Japan."
"It's a pity that my request was categorically rejected by Foreign Minister Bi Xun, and the great powers left no room for China."
As soon as these words came out, the conference room was as silent as a dungeon, and only waves of protests outside the window remained.
"China has no way out, only a categorical refusal of a visa, it must be the longest night of my life! I was angry and frustrated, all attempts to find a compromise had failed, and diplomacy had reached a dead end. ”
Gu Weijun had two more tears on his face, and the most outstanding figures in China shed tears in Paris, and Anna couldn't help crying: "I really can't wait to fly into the Palace of Versailles and shoot the Big Three, so that no one can sign the Treaty of Versailles!" ”
Her emotions were out of control, revealing her true colors as the daughter of a pirate in Dharma Mountain, which was also because Qin Beiyang was anxious.
"Assassination will not solve the problem, it will only exacerbate the contradictions and be counterproductive."
Gu Weijun grabbed Anna's hand and asked her to reflect on the fact that she shouldn't talk nonsense at such an important meeting.
Under countless pairs of eyes, the Minister of Foreign Affairs muttered: "Today's events remind me of the Second Universal Peace Conference held in The Hague, Netherlands, 12 years ago, when I attended on behalf of the Chinese Government. At that time, there were three Korean envoys in The Hague, who held a letter from the Emperor of Korea, calling on the foreign powers to intervene in Japan's colonial rule in Korea. However, the great powers decided to sacrifice the weak Korea, and even expelled three people from the Hague Congress, and one of the secret envoys committed suicide in anger. China has lost the Beiyang Fleet and Taiwan Province for Korea, and I am powerless to help our former vassals. North Korea's yesterday is China's tomorrow. Unexpectedly, this tomorrow is tomorrow! ”
Anna understood in seconds, and Chief Lu's "tomorrow" was a pun - the Treaty of Versailles would be signed tomorrow.
Hearing Lu Zhengxiang's statement, Gu Weijun immediately took out an official document: "Your Excellency, this is a statement we drafted refusing to sign the Treaty of Versailles, please approve it." ”
The special envoy of the president was anxious: "Everyone, don't disobey the president's telegram!" ”
Lu Zhengxiang didn't look at him, he signed the statement of refusing to sign the contract, put down the pen heavily and said, "Refuse to sign!" We will not become historical sinners and dismiss the meeting. ”
While the delegates were applauding, an explosion sounded outside the window...... In the direction of the Palace of Versailles, a flames lit up a spindle-shaped airship in the night sky. There was also a huge eagle with four wings.
The clock had passed midnight, June 28 had arrived, and ten hours from now would be the time when the Treaty of Versailles would be signed.
