113 Chen Muwu brushed his sleeves and left
Chen Muwu didn't know the origin of Wang Jingqi, nor did he know the various grievances and twists behind him and Chen Zheng.
Now Chen Muwu is just a little worried about the blue round badge hanging on Wang Jingqi's chest.
If this was before 1927, Chen Muwu could still comfort himself, perhaps the other party responded to the prime minister's call and joined the baked steamed bun party in his personal capacity.
But now it is 1927, and when two tragedies have just occurred in the first half of the year, Wang Jingqi is still wearing this badge on his chest, so Chen Muwu's heart is very unhappy.
From the heart, even his expression revealed the coldness of the minister in Belgium who rushed to the door.
"The time of the meeting is urgent, I don't know what His Excellency the Princess's sudden arrival is for today?"
"Dr. Chen, don't be kidding, the evening newspaper in Brussels has published the news today, at this conference held in the Solvay Palace, there are two participants who have won this year's Nobel Award, and one of them is not Mr. Zhao standing next to you?"
Hmph, the news is still quite well-informed.
It seems that the other party is mainly coming for Zhao Zhongyao, who has just won the award, and Chen Muwu is not the protagonist of today's meeting.
It just so happened that he didn't want to have too much contact with Wang Jingqi, so he simply turned sideways and let Zhao Zhongyao out.
After the two of them sat down, Wang Jingqi said a lot of compliments, probably that winning the Nobel Prize was to win glory for the country, and Zhao Zhongyao - including Chen Muwu - was the pride of the country.
The rambling words he said back and forth had already made Chen Muwu very impatient.
Then the minister in Belgium finally uttered his request, and Wang Jingqi asked Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao at the end of his words if they could issue a statement saying that the two of them supported the southern one of the two governments that were now distributed in China.
Although on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, the troops of the South won one victory after another, and conquered one city after another.
However, in today's international public opinion, it is still more inclined to support the Beiyang government in the north.
This is because President Yuan Da forced the little emperor in the Forbidden City to abdicate, and the Beiyang government was more legal in the inheritance of the Chinese regime.
Even though the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang government has not paid their salaries for a few years or a few months, all these envoys have done is to protest at home, and they have never thought of getting in touch with the rebels in the south.
I remember that when I visited Rome in Italy at the beginning of the year, Chen Muwu also went to meet with his old acquaintance, Zhu Zhaoxin, who had been promoted to minister of the People's Republic of China to Italy at that time.
Zhu Zhaoxin vented his bitterness at Chen Muwu, and three out of ten sentences were complaining that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not do personnel and always dragged the funds of embassies and consulates around the world from being distributed.
He said that if this continued, he would organize the ministers in Europe to resign and return to China, and ask for wages from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had embezzled funds.
I don't know if they, the minister's begging group, finally made the trip.
It seems that this Minister Wang Jingqi should not be short of funds, and he even wears a badge on his chest.
Chen Muwu didn't know at all—of course, he wasn't interested in knowing, Wang Jingqi had been a member of the steamed bun party a long time ago.
It is estimated that Wang Jingqi has already made contact with Nanbian, otherwise he would not be impatient to visit Zhao Zhongyao as soon as he won the Nobel Prize, and let the two of them make a statement.
The Nobel laureate is also the world's most watched physics prize winner, and his influence in the world is huge.
What's more, there is also a Chen Muwu, whose identity is not just a Nobel Prize winner.
The current Chen Muwu can definitely be called the most famous Chinese in the world.
The only thing that could shake his position was that of a fictional literary figure in literature, George Chen.
Zhao Zhongyao was just a pure scientist, and when it came to political issues, he was a little undecided.
Even though Chen Muwu was a year younger than himself, Zhao Zhongyao still subconsciously looked at Dr. Chen beside him.
Chen Muwu also knew that it should be his turn to come forward at this time.
"Envoy Wang, is this your personal meaning, or is it the meaning from the south?"
Wang Jingqi was unabashed, telling the truth: "Some time ago, when Mr. Zhao went to the Consulate to register and reapply for lost documents, the staff of the Consulate learned from him that Dr. Chen had come to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, to attend the Solvay Conference.
"The staff reported this information to me in a timely manner, and on the one hand, I invited you to the Legation for a banquet through Mr. Zhao, and on the other hand, I also sent this information back to China overnight - referring to the Chinese government.
"The Chinese government has quickly responded to this, hoping to win your solidarity and support for the Chinese government, and through me, I also extend an invitation to you, hoping that you, the world's most famous Chinese scientist, can return to China to take up his post and help the country that is in ruins to develop education and scientific research."
Returning to your home country?
Isn't that still the middle * of Cai's graduate school?
In this matter, Cai once wrote a personal letter to the UK to invite Chen Muwu once.
Someone entrusted the relationship to his eldest brother Chen Muqiao, and invited Chen Muwu again through the mouth of his eldest brother.
When he arrived at Wang Jingqi in Brussels, it was the third time that Chen Muwu had heard it with his own ears.
Wang Jingqi said very sincerely in his words, if it weren't for Chen Muwu knowing what kind of manipulation the other party was after coming to power, maybe he would be moved to tears, and he couldn't wait to "kneel on one knee on the spot, raise his fists with both hands above his head", and shout "The cloth is floating for half a life, I haven't met the master, if I don't give up, I am willing to worship my father".
Chen Muwu still had a cold and stinky face: "Envoy Wang, thank you for coming to Solvay Palace today to visit me and Dr. Zhao, and thank you for your invitation."
"It's just that these invitations from you, whether it's speaking out to the news media, supporting the government of the people in the South, or returning to China to teach, we can't accept these two things.
"If there's nothing to do, please go back.
"Because the schedule of coming to Belgium to participate in the Solvay meeting is very tight, and after the meeting, we have other schedules, so the return visit to the legation will not be possible if there is no accident, I hope to get your understanding."
Chen Muwu rejected all the requests made by Wang Jingqi, and even said all the requests he had not had time to make for him.
Wang Jingqi and his entourage from the Belgian Embassy rushed to Solvay Palace as soon as they saw the news in the newspaper.
They came in a hurry, so they didn't bring reporters to take news photos, and they didn't bring cameras with them.
Otherwise, even if Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao do not agree to their request, the other party can use the photos taken by them to fabricate the facts, point the finger at the deer as a horse, and create a false impression at home and abroad that Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao support the southern people's government.
Chen Muwu estimated that they didn't take photos when they met this time, so there will definitely be the next stage of action.
The simplest and most direct thing is to invite them to a banquet at the legation, and take photos on the territory of the legation.
Chen Muwu would never give the other party any chance, so he refused anything that might happen in advance.
After he finished speaking, he caught a flash of disappointment on Wang Jingqi's face.
However, as a person in the diplomatic circle who has participated in the Kyakhta Conference and the Paris Peace Conference, and has seen the big scenes, Wang Jingqi quickly adjusted the appearance on his face, and planned to get to the bottom of Chen Muwu.
"Dr. Chen, can I ask why? Do you still have illusions about the Beiyang government in the north?
"I can tell you some of the latest developments in the country, and that is that the Northern Expedition of the Chinese People's Government has been marching on and beating the fragile ranks of the old warlords.
"And at the international level, many countries have begun to send representatives to contact and negotiate with the people's government, promising to recognize the legitimacy of our government as soon as the people's government unifies the whole country.
"Didn't you once sing in "Xiao He Yuexia Chasing Han Xin", 'Advanced Xianyang is the emperor', Dr. Chen, if you can be the first to stand up and support the new government, the future will definitely be unlimited.
"As far as I know, Dr. Chen, your hometown is in Jiang Province, and your permanent place of residence is Qihai. At present, these two places, with the exception of the concession, are already under the rule of the Chinese government.
"I think you could write a letter to your hometown elders and ask them how they've been doing lately, and if they're much better than they were during the chaotic warlord rule."
Chen Muwu heard some threats from Wang Jingqi's words, and when he mentioned Chen Muwu's hometown, it was obvious that he had done his homework in advance.
The other party may want to use this topic to remind and beat himself that his home is in the Jiang and his roots are in the Jiang.
But they may not have imagined that Chen Muwu had already invited all his family to Europe, and he who traveled from the future was not a person with a hometown complex at all.
Their threats had no effect on Chen Muwu later, and instead of getting angry, he still responded with a smile on his face:
"Princess, I think you have misunderstood me. I myself have not the slightest reason to think that the Beiyang government in the north is superior to the civil government in the south, but on the contrary, I approve of the righteous efforts of recent years to reclaim the concessions and deprive foreigners of a series of unequal hegemony over Chinese land.
"It's just that since this spring, especially after hearing or reading the various news reports about the country in the newspapers, I have begun to have the slightest trust in your southern government.
"You can all raise a butcher's knife to a partner you've worked with for years, but what else can't you do?
"Now the government of the people has a request for me, so I have sent you, Mr. Minister, as a lobbyist, hoping to use the little prestige I have in the world to improve the international outlook of the government of China.
"Then in the future, if I can no longer show anything useful to you, will I also cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey?
"Your Excellency, it's not that I'm too pessimistic, it's really what you have done, it's too chilling."
Chen Muwu's expression was very calm when he spoke, and his voice was not deliberately too high.
But the content of his words was very heavy, and he only moved his lips slightly, and a few syllables came out of his vocal cords, which contained countless bloody and vivid lives.
Chen Muwu's words made Wang Jingqi speechless for a long time, and he could only sort out his thoughts with "uh" and "ahhhh
Because what he said was not slander, but those people in the country who were in the same party as him did do these things this year.
Many of those killed by the party were former work-study students in France who worked with Wang Jingqi in France and Europe.
Obviously, when they held a farewell party, they wished them to serve the country well after they returned, and strive to overthrow the reactionary and feudal rule in the north as soon as possible.
Why is it that in the past few years, the side I support has suddenly become a reactionary party, and the lovely young people I used to work with have become the souls of the knife one by one?
Chen Muwu suddenly mentioned this matter, and the sadness and helplessness in Wang Jingqi's heart were no less than Chen Muwu.
Now that the other party has clearly stated his attitude, there is no point in dwelling on it.
Wang Jingqi got up to say goodbye and leave, and before parting, he turned around and said a few more words to Chen Muwu.
"Dr. Chen, since you mentioned this matter, then I won't vomit or be unhappy, and say a few more words.
"I also regret what you said, every time I mention it, I have a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Because many of those innocent young people who died innocently had worked with me.
"I admit that in this matter, the government of the People's Republic of China has really done something wrong and made some mistakes.
"But I must also say that it is the general trend of history for the Chinese government to replace the decadent and backward northern regime.
"But after all, I am entrusted by others, and I hope that Dr. Chen and Dr. Zhao will think about what I said today, and if my attitude changes, I will ......be happy in the legation at any time."
"Envoy Wang, please go back."
Chen Muwu interrupted Wang Jingqi's words very unceremoniously, and then didn't even have the etiquette to send off the guests, and got up directly and left the reception room.
Zhao Zhongyao beside him was secretly surprised, it was the first time he had seen Chen Muwu so angry in the three years since he came to Cambridge University.
Surprised to surprised, he still chose to follow Dr. Chen's footsteps and got up to leave.
The group that left the Belgian legation alone did not enter or retreat in the reception room.
