Versailles, where the Japanese delegation resides.

Ouyang Anna frowned, looking at the light in front of her, like a soft stamen.

At this time, the head and deputy heads of the Japanese delegation, Saionji Konobu and Makino Nobuaki came to the tea room and sat down. The Marquis of Saga retreated outside, and the little girl "Hikari" continued to sit and serve everyone.

Diplomats are like that, they are at the negotiating table with their words, but in private they are polite. After the pleasantries, Nobuxian Makino first paid tribute to Gu Weijun and praised the young and talented opponent.

"Your Royal Highness Xiyuanji, Baron Makino, I personally have great respect for both of you, but allow me to express my anger that Shandong is China's territory, and China, as the victorious power in the world war, should take back Germany's rights and interests in Shandong. The decision of the Paris Peace Conference was neither fair, nor just, nor just! ”

Gu Weijun expounded his point in French, and Anna bowed her head to record, and in the future, she would enter the secret archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Mr. Gu, I understand your thoughts very well. But in this world, you don't rely on ideas to solve problems. ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, a bald old man over seventy years old, speaks fluent French. He is probably the only politician in the world who lived through the Meiji Restoration and two world wars. Among the nobles of Kyoto, the Saionji family is one of the "Nine Qinghua" after the "Five Scholars". He was made an attendant to the emperor at the age of four and a major general of the Right Guards at the age of eight. By the time Emperor Meiji ascended the throne, the eighteen-year-old Saionji Konobu was already an important minister of the imperial court, participated in major decisions such as the "Imperial Regime Retro", participated in the Battle of Toba Fushimi during the Boshin War, and then studied in France for ten years.

Although Gu Weijun is young, he is also used to seeing the president of the United States, and he will not be easily intimidated by big people: "Your Excellency, with all due respect to the juniors, the Japanese military is rampant, and you are also facing a lot of pressure. If Qingdao falls into Japanese hands, it will inevitably become an enemy of 40,000 Chinese. Your country has occupied Taiwan and Lushunkou, and if you get Shandong, I am afraid that you will gain an inch, and there will be a war between China and Japan in the future! This is bound to make the military headquarters sit on the throne and control Japan and cause even greater disasters, not only to China but also to the whole of Asia, including Japan itself. If Qingdao is returned to China, the two countries will get along amicably, which will not only curb the arrogance of the soldiers, but also protect your country's constitutional monarchy and let the clouds of Sakagami continue to fly. ”

These words happened to speak to the heart of the public hope of Xiyuan Temple! This veteran of the Three Dynasties, the guardian of Taisho democracy, has long been regarded by the military as a thorn in the side. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang stroked the little girl's "light" hair and said, "For the sake of the children, Mr. Gu, I completely agree with what you said. But politics is complex and does not depend on any individual will, politics is a collective will. And politicians don't look so far, people are always greedy for the food they can get in front of them! I'm old, so I'd better leave the negotiation to you young people. ”

The old man grabbed a piece of tea on the table, which was "the food that could be obtained in front of him", turned around and left the tea room, leaving only Baron Makino, the deputy head of the delegation, and the little girl "Light".

Makino felt dumped by the old man: "Mr. Gu, although you have made me lose face several times at the negotiation table, I still want to say that China's signing of the Treaty of Versailles is beneficial to both countries. Although it lost part of its rights and interests in Shandong, China still enjoyed sovereignty. The gains in other areas will far outweigh the losses, and the Japanese government can provide loans, arms, and ......"

"Sovereignty is not to be traded."

Gu Weijun interrupted Makino's accounting, and the atmosphere in the tea room was particularly awkward, and the little girl named "Guang" was busy adding tea.

Ouyang Anna, who was silently observing from the sidelines, thought to herself that this light could not illuminate the dark night between China and Japan.

"I respect your decision, but the decision made by the Paris Peace Conference is also irreversible."

Just as Gu Weijun and Makino were tense, a crisp gunshot came from overhead.

Hurried footsteps, followed by screams. Baron Makino shouted "Your Excellency Saionji" and rushed out of the room. Gu Weijun was about to go out with him, but Anna grabbed him: "Dangerous!" Don't go! ”

"I'll come."

The little king pulled out the revolver at his waist and carefully burrowed out the door. Just as someone rolled down the stairs, revealing a dead face with a bullet hole in the center of his eyebrow, spurting blood.

Two more Japanese rushed down to protect the elderly Saionji Gongwang. One of them, who also had a gun in his hand, turned around and shot upstairs. Someone attacked the Japanese delegation, and the target of the assassination was the chief representative, Saionji Kotobo.

There was chaos in the hotel, and Nobuaki Makino had connected Saionji Gongwang to the tea room, and there was a shootout in the corridor, and several people had already been shot and fell. Gu Weijun and Anna couldn't sink either, he was worried that the assassin would come from China? In the event that a Chinese assassin kills the Xionji Gongwang, all the efforts of the Chinese delegation will be in vain.

Suddenly, the window of the tea room shattered, and someone broke in and pointed a gun at the Xiyuan Temple. The East Asian with a single eyelid, no more than twenty years old, was about to shoot when Anna smashed her teacup into the assassin's head.

There was boiling hot tea in the teacup, and the Assassin staggered twice. Hikari, a Japanese girl, lifted a boiling teapot and threw it at the assassin, causing him to roll on the ground in pain. Nobuaki Makino took the opportunity to protect Saionji Gongwang and withdrew from the tea room.

Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the assassin grabbed the little girl, held the gun to the temple, and took the "light" hostage.

The twelve-year-old girl kicked her legs in defiance, and the Assassin grabbed her out of the window. Ouyang Anna was very bold and took the risk to chase after and save the "light". The scalded Assassin jumped into the garden with the little girl in his arms and fled into the bushes and disappeared. The Marquis of Saga stumbled and ran up, calling out to his daughter, but he couldn't catch up.

However, there is still an assassin upstairs, and the shootout is over. The Assassin was shot in the arm, capturing him instantly.

The Assassin was a young East Asian, with blood on his right arm, several slaps in the face, and a stiff silence. The Japanese were about to use violence against him, but were stopped by the king of the small county of Ordos Doro, who said in English: "If he is Chinese, please do not abuse him, the Chinese delegation wants to participate in the interrogation as well." ”

"I don't think he's Chinese."

A Japanese English floated in, and a Japanese man under the age of thirty was also holding a revolver. Although he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his physique was strong, his hair was flat, and his face and eyes were resolute, unlike those usually seen in a diplomat.

The man was a karate master, and he punched the assassin a few times, hitting him with his knee in the chest, and the little king could almost hear the sound of his ribs breaking.

The iron-beaten man couldn't help it, and the assassin spurted blood from his mouth and muttered, "Assiba! ”

"Sure enough, it's a North Korean!"

The Assassin shot and killed three diplomats and seriously wounded two others. He was dragged into the basement, and the Japanese had to hurry up for interrogation, before the French police arrived.

"Something that is inferior to a brute! Listen, I'm a lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army, Saburo Hatata. ”

Japan has controlled Korea for more than ten years, and all educated Korean youths can basically understand Japanese. Qin Tian Saburo stretched out two fingers against the assassin's throat, like two sharpened chopsticks, ready to pierce the opponent's neck.

In the early spring of this year, in Yoshino Kofun, Nara Prefecture, there was an accident in the armor experiment of a famous Sengoku general, and Army Lieutenant Saburo Harita was seriously injured, and he was only recently recovered and released from the hospital. Versailles sent back news that the assassins were rampant in Paris, and the head of the Japanese delegation, Saionji Gongwang, did not trust the military department, and named Hatasaburo to be in charge of security. It turned out that at the end of the Edo period and the early years of the Meiji era, assassinations occurred one after another, and Qin Tian Saburo's grandfather was a retainer of Saionji Temple, and he protected the young Saionji Gongwang. Saburo Qinda set off urgently and came to Paris via the Suez Canal.

The assassin, with his rib fractured, raised his blood-stained face, rolled his blue eyes, let out a terrifying laugh, and muttered Japanese: "That girl...... She...... Dead...... You're all going to die! ”

The Assassin uttered a barrage of Korean words, and Saburo Qin heard a few dirty words. He kicked the North Korean in the face, broke the bridge of his nose, and tried to pull his hair against the wall, only to realize that something was wrong, and the assassin was bleeding a lot from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body spasmed. Qin Tian pinched the opponent's middle force hard, his breathing pulse was all gone, and he still wanted to do artificial respiration, but he couldn't open his mouth, and used his saber to pry open the assassin's closed teeth, and a large piece of tongue fell out like some kind of animal viscera.

The assassin died, could not stand the torture, and in order to keep the secret, he killed himself.

A group of French policemen rushed into the basement, and the dignified-looking Sergeant Xavier, seeing the corpse tortured to death on the ground, angrily threw a heavy fist and smashed the bridge of Hataburo's nose.
