Sun Gan did not cheer with everyone, he took the soldiers of the assault battalion to the place where the bones of the soldiers who died before were buried. Due to the urgency of the war, the soldiers who died at that time were not transported back to China for burial, and they could only be allowed to sleep in other places. Sun Qian didn't know if there was a chance to worship the heroes again, so he could only bring the soldiers who were still alive in the assault battalion to come here to comfort him.

According to Chinese custom, the people with heavy faces placed cigarettes, alcohol, and flowers in front of the tombstones of each soldier to comfort the people and tell them the good news of the end of the war. When the ceremony was over, Sun Qian refused to leave for a long time, and did not return to the camp until nightfall to celebrate the victory of the war with the others.

Sun Gan's assault battalion performed well in the battle and was unanimously approved by the coalition forces, so the assault battalion was retained after the war, and they were responsible for the security of the following Paris Peace Conference. This made the homesick assault battalion soldiers mourn everywhere, but Pershing felt that this was an opportunity for the United States to show his face, and agreed without thinking about it.

However, the final result of the Paris Peace Conference made Sun Gan feel extremely cold, and he understood that there was no friendship between countries at all, only naked interests. Even if Sun Gan was born and died for the victory of the coalition army, in the face of national interests, Sun Gan was just an insignificant pawn.

At the Paris Peace Conference, the Chinese delegation initially had great hopes for the conference, so the following seven conditions were put forward in the submitted proposal:

Abolish spheres of influence

Evacuation of foreign troops, patrols

Abolish foreign post offices and wire-based wireless telegraphy agencies

Revocation of consular jurisdiction

Return of the leased land

Return of the concession

The right to tariff freedom

June 28, 1919, the last day of the Paris Peace Conference, was also the day that all the victorious powers signed the peace treaty. But the representative of China, as the victorious power, did not attend the meeting and refused to sign.

It turned out that three of the Paris Peace Covenants were about China. That is, the territory of Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong, which Germany occupied before the war, as well as the railways, minerals, and submarine cables there, were all owned by Japan.

China participated in the Entente during World War I, declared war against the Allies, supported the Entente with a large amount of food, and also sent 175,000 laborers to Europe to support, sacrificing more than 2,000 people. Great contributions and sacrifices were made to achieve the ultimate victory. It was only natural for China, as the victorious power, to claim back the sovereignty of the Shandong Peninsula that Germany had forcibly occupied.

However, at the beginning of the Paris Peace Conference, Japan, out of ulterior motives, constantly questioned China's qualifications to participate in the conference as a victorious country, in an attempt to exclude China from participating in the conference as a victorious country. After failing to succeed, they coerced Britain, the United States and France to agree to transfer the Shandong Peninsula occupied by Germany to Japan.

After learning the news, the Chinese people finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke out the vigorous "May Fourth" Movement on May 4, 1919.

With the support and influence of the people of the whole country, the Chinese delegation put forward two proposals to the Peace Conference: to abolish the privileges of imperialism in China; The "21 Articles" that Japan forced China to recognize were abolished, and Shandong's rights and interests were recovered. But the proposal was rejected.

In the early morning of June 27, Chinese workers and Chinese students in Paris staged a huge protest.

On June 28, more than 30,000 Chinese gathered outside the residence of the Chinese delegation.

"Can't sign!" Thirty thousand people made a common cry. "Whoever signs, kills!" Fifteen young men of the Death Army are ready to defend China's dignity and rights with their own blood and heads.

The Chinese delegation finally issued a statement: "We will never sign the peace treaty until the Shandong issue is resolved!" "

Under the impact of the May Fourth Movement, the Chinese delegation refused to sign the Versailles Peace Treaty!

Although the Chinese delegation verbally rejected the unequal treaty of the peace conference, China, which was constantly in internal strife, could not change the reality of the Japanese invasion of Shandong, and Sun Qian was eventually heartbroken by the actions of the Entente. On the day of the conclusion of the peace conference, Sun Qian and Sun Xing submitted an application for retirement to the US military command.

Sun Qian and Sun Xing's helpless resistance did not have any repercussions in the coalition army, only the life and death brothers of the assault battalion and Lieutenant Colonel Memphis rushed to persuade them, but the two who had already made up their minds did not agree with the persuasion of everyone, and in the end they could only leave helplessly.

Originally, Sun Qian was going back to the United States, where there were still the Every family and instructors who cared about him, but the Paris Peace Conference was too hard, Sun Gan communicated with Every through telegram and decided to return to China directly, and Winnie would go to China with the Every family to find him after Sun Gan returned to China and settled down.

Since Sun Gan decided to return to China, he naturally made some arrangements and understood the importance of the gun, and Sun Gan did not want to return empty-handed with Sun Xing. Naturally, they thought of the Chinese laborers, who did not go directly to the battlefield, but who had also experienced the baptism of war. This is a rare source of soldiers in the eyes of Sun Qian and the others. At this time, the laborers also completed the trench filling work on the front line and returned to France one after another.

Thanks to the good foundation laid by Sun Gan when he cultivated before, coupled with Sun Gan's reputation among the coalition forces. Sun Qian quickly selected a battalion among the laborers who were willing to follow him, and if there were more, he was afraid that the coalition forces would not be able to tolerate the existence of these people, and one battalion was no more and no less. Most of these laborers are people who have experienced life and death, so they can become an army with a little training. Moreover, Sun Gan has the intention to choose people who have nothing to worry about, and they will follow Sun Gan wherever he goes, and there is no betrayal at all.

Relying on his reputation and the appreciation of Marshal Petain, Sun Qian found a camp far from the city for the people, and borrowed the corresponding weapons. After a month of assault training, the new assault battalion completed the most basic training. At this time, the steamer coordinated by Every also arrived, and Sun Gan began his journey home with the group after returning the camp and weapons.

Along the way, the people who went home can be said to be endless, and the people who did not encounter the wind and rain, under the organization of Sun Qian and the others, carried out basic tactical training every day, so everyone did not feel that the journey was boring at all, and after nearly a month and a half of sailing, everyone finally approached the destination Lushun.

In the waters off Arthur, Sun Qian and others once again saw the pain of the country's weakness, and the Japanese warships wantonly sailed in China's territorial waters, making everyone who were soldiers feel like a fish in their throats, and everyone was angry, but anger alone was not enough, only strength was the fundamental solution to this dilemma.

Sun Qian and Sun Xing discussed for a while, and finally decided not to land from Lushunkou, but turned directly to Dalian, he decided to go home as soon as possible, and going back early would allow him to accumulate more strength.

After five years away from home, Sun Qian and his wife finally returned to their hometown after a long absence at the end of midsummer.

This time, Sun Qian not only came back by himself, but he also brought a hundred battle lions that would crisscross the white mountains and black waters in the future.
