Chapter 213: Chinese Diplomats

Muyang led Gu Weijun to visit Lloyd George, although the British prime minister was very polite to Muyang, but on the issue of the treatment of China's victorious country, he was vague, and this visit was not very successful.

Muyang and Gu Weijun were eating in a high-end French restaurant, Muyang went to the bathroom, and the Japanese representative Makino Shinaki, who happened to be eating here, saw Gu Weijun sitting there alone, and his little eyes rolled over.

"Ambassador Gu, how can you eat alone?"

"No, with friends."

"Hehe, do you Chinese also have friends in France?"

"China is not alone, and if you in Japan always put on a face of flattery and bullying, you will end up without friends."

"I really don't know what kind of people will be friends with you Chinese, whether it is a beggar on the street or a jobless vagrant." After speaking, Makino Shinxian laughed, and his two mustaches were cocked, extremely arrogant.

And Muyang had already come out of the bathroom and stood behind Nobuaki Makino, hearing this Japanese say such words, Muyang's face became frosty.

"Is it true that the Japanese are so unqualified, and they are really of low quality to shout in a restaurant in disregard of etiquette." An icy voice floated from behind Makino.

Makino Shinxian turned around and looked at the young-looking Westerner behind him, the anger on his face subsided a little, and asked, "Isn't it rude to not know who Your Excellency is and why you want to participate in our conversation?" ”

"Because you're in my way." After Mu Yang finished speaking, he said to Gu Weijun: "Do you have a saying in China that a good dog is not in the way." ”

"Yes, and the words you translated in French are very apt. You are truly a master of language. Gu Weijun said with a smile.

"You ......," Nobu Makino was furious, "who the hell are you?" ”

"My name is Joseph. Bathe. Williams. Get out of here, for you're in my way. After speaking, Mu Yang pointed to the chair next to Makino Shinsen.

A name that is not very familiar. Nobuaki Makino just wanted to say something cruel, but suddenly he thought of the previous domestic procurement of drugs, the one who developed and produced anti-influenza drugs, wasn't it a man named Joseph. Bathe. Dr. Williams.

The newly British baron, the Duke of Spain, is it the person in front of him, he looks young.

"Are you Duke Williams?" Nobuaki Makino asked softly.

"Sir, please get out of my sight, for I'm going to eat and don't want to disturb my appetite." Muyang sat down in his seat. Said very politely.

Makino Shinaki touched his nose and had to walk away in a huff.

Britain, France, and the United States devoured all the interests of Germany, and secretly promised Japan the rights and interests of the Jiaozhou Peninsula in Shandong.

And China can't do anything about it.

"Mr. Williams, I have just been informed that there will be a committee meeting tomorrow. I have been allowed to take the floor and I hope that Mr. Williams will be present at that time and, if so, please testify to my statement. Gu Weijun found Muyang in the evening.

Mu Yang frowned: "Speak tomorrow." Is it only now known. ”

"There is no way, China is excluded, but my original idea was a bit idealistic. I want to fight for China's interests through the Paris Conference, but now it seems. Western countries simply won't give China this chance. Gu Weijun said.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to give up, I'm going to fight for everything. Try to fight for China's rights and interests. ”

"I'll be there tomorrow." Mu Yang replied.

On January 28, 1919, the meeting of ten began, and Nobuaki Makino, the plenipotentiary of Reality Japan, spoke.

"China has not made any contribution at all in this war, what qualifications do they have to do here." After speaking, he glanced arrogantly at the Chinese delegation.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read: "The Jiaozhou Bay leased land, as well as all the rights of the railway and Germany in Shandong, should be transferred to Japan unconditionally." The Shandong issue should also be resolved between Japan and China on the basis of treaties and agreements agreed upon by both sides. ”

Mu Yang watched the performance of the Japanese with cold eyes, and glanced at French Prime Minister Clemenceau, British Prime Minister Lloyd George, and US President Wilson, who were sitting in the seats, all of whom were expressionless, as if they had known for a long time that Japan would come up with such a statement.

All this was done in private, China's opportunity, not at the Paris Peace Conference, Muyang can only sigh.

Gu Weijun came to the stage and said sonorously. "Shandong is the cradle of Chinese culture, the Chinese sages Confucius and Mencius were born in this land, Confucius, Confucius is like the Jesus of the West, Shandong is Chinese, whether in terms of economy or strategy, as well as religious culture, China cannot lose Shandong, just as the West cannot lose Jerusalem!!??

Your Excellency the President, distinguished delegates, I am very pleased to represent China in this peace conference, I feel a great responsibility, because I am speaking here on behalf of China, which accounts for a quarter of the world's population, Mr. Makino just said that China is a victorious country that has not sent a single soldier, which ignores the minimum facts, please see, (take out the photo), during the war, China sent 140,000 laborers to Europe, they are all over the battlefield, they are bleeding and dying like all the soldiers of the victorious countries, I want you to see another photo of the cemetery of Chinese workers who died on the battlefield in France, there are more than a dozen such cemeteries in France, most of them are from Shandong Province in China, and what are they for, just to win this war! For the peace and tranquility of your homeland! Therefore, the Chinese delegation is convinced that China's basic legitimate rights and interests, that is, sovereignty and territorial integrity, will be taken into account when discussing the issue of China's Shandong Province??

Today, I also have Joseph. Bathe. Duke Williams, who fought on the front lines of the Allied forces against Germany and was awarded meritorious service, and his experience can prove whether or not Chinese laborers played a role in this war on the battlefield, I hope to be able to make Joseph. Bathe. Williams spoke to prove the truth of my words.

That's all I said, thank you, thank you??"

After listening to Gu Weijun's words, everyone applauded, and Muyang also saw for the first time how to deal with such a scene, how to take the initiative to seize the opportunity, and how to give a speech to deal with what was originally a very unfavorable environment.

Gu Weijun's words won the unanimous approval of everyone present, and no matter what the result is, this speech has made the world know Gu Weijun and this Chinese diplomat.

Regarding Gu Weijun's proposal to let Muyang come to the stage to testify, this is a process that has not been arranged before, the host asked the three chairmen on the stage, probably because Muyang now has some special status, the three still agreed. (To be continued......)
