    Governor's Office of Guam

    The next day, negotiators from China and the United States sat at the negotiation table. The main content of the negotiation was still the oral agreement reached between Tang Jian and Wilson the night before. The rest was just to add details.

    Three days later, the negotiations between China and the United States finally reached preliminary terms that both parties could agree on. In the afternoon, Tang Jian, a representative of the Chinese government, and Wilson, a representative of the U.S. government, signed a "China-U.S. Government Agreement" in the conference room of the Governor's Palace in Guam.  Signing of an Agreement on the South China Sea Disputes and China's Agreement to Return the Hawaiian Islands in Guam, referred to as the "Guam Treaty"

    The "Treaty of Guam" stipulates: Article 1: Regarding the recent dispute between the Chinese South China Sea Fleet and the U.S. Far East Fleet on the South China Sea Island Huangyan Island, the two parties caused misunderstandings due to lack of timely communication. In the accidental attack, both parties suffered injuries.  , the Chinese government and the U.S. government reached a consensus that neither side will pursue the matter. The governments of both sides must apologize in writing to the officers and soldiers of their respective fleets who were killed or injured in the accidental attack.

    Article 2: The U.S. government recognizes Huangyan Island as China¡¯s inherent territory. China and the United States adhere to the principle of peaceful mutual assistance. In the South China Sea, the fleets of both sides are not allowed to initiate any military conflicts at will. Once the fleets of the two countries unexpectedly enter the South China Sea,  When encountering each other, each must retreat fifteen nautical miles to avoid misunderstandings.

    Article 3: Regarding the rebellion issue in the Hawaiian Islands, the U.S. government has found out that this matter has no direct relationship with the Chinese government. All issues regarding the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii are left to the U.S. government, and the Chinese government shall not interfere, but only if the Chinese government  The government will evacuate all Chinese and Chinese properties from the Hawaiian Islands for six months. After six months, all Chinese and Chinese troops on the Hawaiian Islands need to evacuate from the Hawaiian Islands.

    The following are supplementary treaties and will not be described in detail.

    After the signing of the Treaty of Guam, although Wilson felt greatly cheated, he eventually brought peace back to the United States. Wilson believed that as long as he brought this treaty back to the United States, the American people would be delighted, because it was him¡ª¡ª  Wilson brought peace back to the United States and spared peace-loving Americans the pain of war

    In this way, Wilson could reverse the unfavorable situation in the 1912 presidential election. With the strong support of ordinary Americans, the big guys in the Democratic Party would also turn to his side. At this time, the Republican Party was already falling apart, and Roosevelt  He was very dissatisfied with Taft and left the Republican Party. He raised a banner to fight against Taft alone. After the split of the Republican Party, its vitality was greatly weakened. Taft, who had originally planned to step down from office and no longer compete for the position of president, stood up and announced that he would run for succession.  Presidency

    Wilson knew that Taft, who had no intention of becoming president, decided to run for president again because he had disagreements with Roosevelt. He did not want to see Roosevelt immediately undo some of the things he had worked hard to promote during his four-year term as president after taking office.  The measure is abolished

    The split in the Republican Party was essentially caused by the personal conflicts between Roosevelt and Taft. As a result, the strength of the Republican Party was weakened. Coupled with the signing of the Treaty of Guam, Wilson's popularity in the United States will definitely be at its peak.

    The presidency of the United States in 1912 was so close to Wilson

    In the conference room of the Guam Governor's Mansion, Tang Jian stood up, shook hands with Wilson cordially, and said: "Mr. Wilson, I hope that the friendship between China and the United States will last forever."

    "The U.S. government will remember the goodwill shown by President Tang Jian" Wilson and Tang Jian gave a hug

    The two exchanged the "Treaty of Guam" signed by each other in both Chinese and English. Tang Jian smiled and said: "I congratulate Mr. Wilson on ascending to the position of president as soon as possible. Then the friendship between the two countries can be further strengthened."  "

    Wilson nodded: "Yes, my dear President Tang Jian, if I succeed in running for president and reorganize the cabinet, I will definitely correct the US government's foreign policy towards China."

    The two looked at each other and smiled. Wilson had achieved the purpose of his trip, and Tang Jian also got what he wanted.

    With the farewell coming soon, Tang Jian and Wilson exchanged a few pleasantries and left in a hurry. Wilson was in a hurry to go back to canvass votes, while Tang Jian was in a hurry to go back and actively prepare for the war.

    After boarding the passenger ship returning home, Tang Jian threw the "Guam Treaty" casually in the cabin, regardless of whether it was thrown to the ground. For Tang Jian, the "Guam Treaty" was just a pile of waste paper at this time.  , of no use at all

    Tang Jian said to Tang Shaoyi: "Shaochuan, you immediately send a message to King Liliuokalani, saying that the "Guam Treaty" signed by China and the United States is a dead letter and has no binding effect. The Chinese in Hawaii will never evacuate the Hawaiian Islands.  The Chinese Pacific Fleet will still be stationed at Pearl Harbor, so King Liliuokalani can rest assured that since the Kingdom of Hawaii has completely surrendered to China, China will definitely not let the Kingdom of Hawaii fall into the hands of the Americans."

      "Yes, President" Tang Shaoyi responded

    "In addition, how many descendants of Lan Fang who were scattered on the islands in the South China Sea have been summoned back to the country?" Tang Jian asked

    "To report to the President, according to the news sent back by the South China Sea Fleet Commander Sa Zhenbing, in addition to those Lanfang descendants of the original Lanfang Manman, a total of nearly 10,000 Lanfang descendants have been gathered in Guangxi, Guangzhou, Fujian and other places.  And the follow-up is still increasing," Tang Shaoyi replied.

    "It's much more than I expected. You also immediately called Sa Zhenbing and asked him to use the South China Sea Merchant Fleet to h¨²n these Lanfang descendants into Luzon Island, and let these Lanfang descendants cooperate with the Luzon CIA.  Find out the various military strongholds and ammunition depots of the United States in Luzon, and then send them to Sa Zhenbing in the form of a map for future use," Tang Jian ordered

    "I will go take care of these two things right away," Tang Shaoyi replied. Tang Shaoyi knew that the president was preparing to take action against Luzon in the near future.

    Ten days later, Tang Jian returned to Wuhan. At the same time, he sent a telegram to urge Tian Adeng of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau to launch China's first aircraft carrier in the shortest possible time. At the same time, he worked with the generals in Wuhan to integrate China's million-strong army.  Taking advantage of China's regional differences, five major military regions are established in various parts of China, namely the Northeast Military Region, the Northwest Military Region, the North China Military Region, the Southeast Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region. Military headquarters are set up in five cities: Liaoning, Ili, Beijing, Nanjing, and Chengdu.

    Tang Jian is preparing to mobilize 50,000 troops from the Southwest Military Region and the Southeast Military Region to rush to Hainan Island. He plans to use Hainan Island as a forward position and cooperate with the South China Sea Fleet to seize Luzon. He will then mobilize a total of 200,000 troops from the North China Military Region, the Southeast Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region.  Army elites have been assembled in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, ready for orders at any time. At the same time, a total of 50,000 army troops have been assembled in Busan, North Korea and Yokosuka, Japan as reserve forces, ready for orders at any time.

    The grand plan Tang Jian formulated a few years ago to seize control of the entire Pacific was finally about to be implemented. The thought that China would dominate the Pacific and become a world-class military power made Tang Jian feel excited. This was in the original time and space.  What the Chinese have dreamed of for hundreds of years is finally about to come true in this parallel time and space

    United States Washington

    After the news of Wilson's return from Guam reached the United States, with the secret encouragement of the Communist Party, many newspapers and magazines in the United States began to report the news of Wilson in a series of articles, saying that Wilson had brought peace to the United States, with a piece of "Guam Treaty"  Not only did it successfully resolve the South China Sea dispute between the United States and China, it also peacefully took back Hawaii. Although it still has to wait six months, this time is simply insignificant for Americans who want to enjoy peace.

    Wilson became a well-known figure in the United States overnight and a national hero in the hearts of Americans. Some American news media also compared Wilson with the founding presidents Washington and Lincoln, two great American presidents. Even at this time, Wilson  Although he was just a presidential candidate, many American public still elevated Wilson to almost the same level as those two great American presidents.

    Wilson was so satisfied that he took advantage of the opportunity to pursue his victory and began touring the major states in the United States to win votes.

    However, not all Americans became extremely happy after hearing that Wilson signed the "Guam Treaty" for the United States. At least two people were the least happy. One was the current US president who was about to leave office and will run for the next president.  Taft, he knew that with the support of the people, his dream of being re-elected as president was likely to be dashed.

    The other was Roosevelt, the incoming president and the popular candidate for this presidential election. After hearing the news, Roosevelt sat slumped on his sofa and murmured: "The road to American strength will eventually stop.  In Tang Jian¡¯s hands¡±

    Roosevelt alone in his office said dejectedly: "Wilson, the idiot, can those yellow-skinned monkeys be so kind? The conspiracy is definitely a conspiracy. The "Guam Treaty" is simply a huge conspiracy. Tang Jian's ambition is not just  It's Hawaii, and he can't return Hawaii to the United States. He's stalling for time and is extremely stupid."

    But no one listens to him anymore when he complains about his dissatisfaction. The Republican Party is divided and his influence is no longer what it used to be. Moreover, the current President Taft has broken with him, so it is impossible to listen to his opinions anymore, and the American people are in front of their eyes.  Meng was blinded by the interests of short-term peace, and it was impossible for them to vote for him.

    With tears in his eyes, Roosevelt looked helplessly at the falling dead leaves in the distance. The summer had passed quietly, the bleak autumn was coming, and the harsh winter was not far away

    Huangyan Island in the South China Sea

    Since the descendants of Lan Fang on Huangyan Island moved to Hainan Island, the South China Sea Fleet has tightly blockaded Huangyan Island.Now Lan Fangman's living area has been razed to the ground, and a simple airport is slowly taking shape in the night

    ps: Today is still the same day. Let me say a few words here. I won¡¯t deny that I have been slow these days, but what I want to say is that I don¡¯t mean to whet everyone¡¯s appetite. I am not lazy. You can see Piaotian Literature on Baidu, one site.  In other words, I am now writing two articles every day on "Piaotian Literature" because many programs want me to give you the prequel for free. I have already sent the first tens of thousands of words of the prequel to the urban chapter to my current editor, but the editor told me that it cannot be free.  , I had to find another way. It happened that an editor friend from Huaxia found me and said that he could send me free articles, so I chose Huaxia. In other words, the popularity I had accumulated for so long in 17 was gone. When I arrived in Huaxia, I  I have to start over the contract issue with 17 and change my pen name. However, it is free for everyone. You can collect and read it for free in the future without spending any money. This is enough.

    In addition, I will continue writing in 17, because I have more feelings for 17. After finishing this history, I will serialize the prequel in China while opening another book in 17. The tentative one is Ancient Oriental Mythology  Fantasy, this is currently being collected. It will probably be serialized on 17 when the prequel is finished. It is estimated that from November to December in the second half of the year, the Fourteenth Young Master will be committed to creating the first Eastern fantasy, so it will take a long time to collect information.  Mainly to thoroughly study the classical Chinese version of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"

    Having said so much, I just want everyone to understand me. Although writing the book "Beiyang" has not been fast, it has been very stable for so long. It's just that now that I am entangled with trivial matters, it has slowed down a bit. I don't want to. I have written less.  The royalties you earn are also small, right?

    Forgive me, I feel disrespectful, it is terrible. I will not ask for a ticket here. Good night, I will continue to fight the code. Thank you
