"Alas, I'm not coming to be stressed!"

Minister Wang sighed helplessly, touched the thinning hair on the top of his head, and felt extremely stressed.

"What does everybody say about me now? Saying that the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not as good as a year, I am afraid that my term will also go through the motions. ”

Saying that, Minister Wang couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, several members on the side also sighed slightly.

They can also roughly understand the meaning of their own officials, yes, if you want to talk about diplomacy, there is indeed a pearl and jade in the front, and the follow-up ones are not good in the eyes of many literati.

As for who that pearl is, there is no doubt that it is Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu's resume is also extremely glorious, he studied abroad at the age of 16, and then he studied all the way to his career, and the university debate competition directly left the opponent's debaters speechless in the debate competition of famous foreign universities.

At the age of twenty-four, he resolutely returned to China, and then began to embark on a legendary life.

As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy, and this one has stubbornly tried to think of various ways under pressure, causing a storm of public opinion in the international community.

Although the 21st Article was eventually signed due to national strength, he united with Western countries to exert pressure on the Orientals, resulting in a great reduction in the actual benefits obtained by the Orientals.

Then he started his career as a plenipotentiary diplomat and decided not to sign at the peace conference, just like his famous sentence, even later generations have been played with flowers.

China can't afford to lose Shandong, just as the West can't lose Jerusalem, it's so deafening.

After that, the biggest achievement was to use his own connections and his own ability to keep the sovereignty of Shandong firmly in the hands of his own country.

Many literati have very high praise for this person, as the so-called humble gentleman is as gentle as jade, so it is!

Every time he heard what Mr. Gu did, Director Wang sighed with emotion.

The brilliance shown by the predecessors is too great, and the pressure on him, a latecomer, is not insignificant.

And this is just a diplomatic means that shocked the other side at home and abroad, and there are many more, and every one of them is not something that these later foreign ministers can do casually.

Just like now, when public opinion is generated, many literati have begun to play with their pens and begin to say something, if Mr. Gu is still in office, this kind of thing will definitely not happen.

For this reason, can Director Wang not be under much pressure?

"Okay, since no one picks up the plane, then let's walk over, but everyone should be careful along the way, this is not a domestic country after all."

Director Wang reminded everyone seriously and seriously.

Although there are eight guards with them, in other people's territory, eight well-trained guards seem to be nothing, and can only serve as a psychological comfort.

"Hmmm! Minister, we know. But minister, do you think we can succeed this time? ”

One of the members of the department said with some concern.

Hearing this inquiry, Director Wang paused slightly, thought about it and nodded.

"Absolutely! But ....."

After a pause, he sighed, "Maybe we'll be cold for a long time."

Diplomacy is like that, we don't have a hole card that we can play right now.

The opponent has a lot of hole cards and is full of confidence.

It's hard to make the other party soft! We can only hope that the soldiers on the front line will expel the Outer Mongolians as soon as possible.

At that time, there may be a glimmer of opportunity, and you must remember that this time we are not simply talking to the Outer Mongolians, but to the Russians. ”

Speaking of which, Director Wang also lost his confidence.

Everyone understands that in fact, there are talks with Orientals, and there are still talks, after all, Orientals still have scruples.

When the time comes, under the alliance, the other party can still be afraid, at least not too much.

It is true that, normally speaking, before the real war breaks out, the Orientals themselves are skeptical about whether they can swallow such a large eastern country.

They themselves have little confidence, and their ambitions swell as if they were inflated after the rapid occupation of the three eastern provinces.

At that time, their ugly faces will become more and more unscrupulous, but now the other party does not dare to be too presumptuous for no reason.

But the Russians are different, and their ambitions grow with their strength.

In the last two or three hundred years or so, how many countries have been annexed by Russia step by step, starting from the previous dynasties.

Since the Treaty of Nebuchu in 1689, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land have been lost almost every few decades.

The most common time was in 1858, when it swallowed more than 640,000 square kilometers of territory north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains.

If Outer Mongolia is also included, perhaps Outer Mongolia is the biggest loss.

From 1689 to 1944, the total is more than 5.88 million square kilometers, equivalent to 60% of the total land area today.

Of course, when the country became stronger, some of it was returned one after another, but the land that was also encroached upon also accounts for one-third of the current country.

It is undeniable that the vast majority of them are due to the weakness of the previous dynasty, but the fact that the master is not distressed by the cub selling Yetian.

However, starting from the Beiyang government, there have also been diplomatic losses, which are relatively less serious overall.

During this period, a total of 10,000 square kilometers were lost.

But in the end, it is still a loss at the negotiating table.

There is really no initiative, and the main thing is the relationship between the strength of the troops.

Again, a weak country has no diplomacy.

"Alas, I hope that the soldiers in the rear can give us a little more confidence, but everyone should not give up, cheer up, we must straighten the backbone of our Chinese!" Can't let these foreigners with high noses look flat! ”

Director Wang straightened his collar and strode towards the dirt outside.

Thanks to Mr. Gu's fierce speech at the international negotiation table, the resoluteness in the hearts of many diplomats has been aroused.

In the past, at the negotiating table, just like the previous dynasty, domestic diplomats were almost always submissive, but now it is different.

It may not be easy to attack and defend yet, but the mentality is already different.

On the other side, in Fengjiazhuang, it is still a hot scene.

The letter that Tuo Changwei sent to Zhao Ming was already written a month ago, and now Fengjiazhuang has long been very different.

Although the textile factory is in Xi'an, where the transportation is more convenient, the purchase of cotton wool raw materials is in Fengjiazhuang.

You can see that the exterior wall of Fengjiazhuang has been expanded in a large circle, and several large factories have been built.

Not only that, but the population has also increased a lot, which shows that it has attracted a lot of displaced people.

The famine continues, and everyone is willing to come and work in such a place, providing food and shelter.

But today, a group of uninvited guests came to Fengjiazhuang.
