Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Diplomacy failed. Faced with such reality, the delegation was disheartened and existed in name only. Some representatives left Paris, and the delegation leader Lu Zhengxiang was admitted to the hospital.  During the last period of the peace conference, Gu Weijun took on the responsibility of making the last effort for China alone and persisted until the last moment before the signing of the peace treaty.  However, no matter how hard Gu Weijun tried, there was no result, and Huaxia's legitimate demands were repeatedly rejected.  It is not allowed to keep the signature, it is not allowed to be attached to the contract, and it is not allowed to make a statement outside the contract, so it can only be accepted unconditionally.

    In the early morning of June 17, Chinese workers and international students in Paris held a massive protest.  On June 18, more than 30,000 Chinese gathered outside the residence of the Chinese delegation.  "Can't sign!" Thirty thousand people voiced a common cry.  "Whoever signs will be beaten to death!" Fifteen youths from the death squads are ready to defend the dignity and rights of the Chinese nation with their own blood and heads.

    Under such circumstances, Gu Weijun felt that there was no way to retreat but to refuse the visa to express China's position.  He reported this idea to Lu Zhengxiang, who agreed with him.  As a result, the Chinese delegation finally issued a statement: "Until the Shandong issue is resolved, we will never sign the peace treaty!"

    On the morning of June 18, the grand signing ceremony of the "Peace Treaty between the Allied Powers and Participating Countries with Germany" was held at the Palace of Versailles. Representatives from various countries gathered again in the spacious and bright Hall of Mirrors.  Almost everyone was smiling, except for German Foreign Minister Hermann M¨¹ller and State Minister Johannes Bell.

    "Quiet! Quiet!" Clemenceau, the president of the peace conference, knocked on the table and said proudly to the German representative sitting in the corner. "Mr. Muller, Mr. Bell, you are before you the plenipotentiary representatives of the participating countries. This  This cruel war was provoked by you. In 1918, you asked for peace. Now peace is returned to you. Now is the time for reckoning"

    Mueller silently walked to the signing table and sat down.  He picked up the pen tremblingly, "Whoever signs such a treaty will have his hands rotten!" This is the sentiment of all Germans.  When Germany learned about the contents of the treaty, anger and humiliation quickly spread within Germany. At first, the German government refused to accept the treaty, and the German navy expressed its dissatisfaction with the treaty by sinking ships.  Soon Chancellor Scheidemann resigned after refusing to sign the treaty, and Hindenburg, now a war criminal, said that the German army was unable to fight anymore.  Faced with an ultimatum from the Allies, President Friedrich Ebert decided to accept the treaty.

    "If I don't go to hell, who will?" After preparing for his hand to rot, Muller signed his name in pain.  After signing, he stood up, looked at the heads of the six major countries, and said sadly, "Gentlemen, 70 million Germans will never forget today - June 18, 1919." After saying this short sentence  , Mueller staggered back to his seat with tears in his eyes.

    The Big Six ignored the warning from Muller, an old German man, and then they signed in turn, followed by representatives of other victorious countries.  When it was the turn of the representatives of the Chinese state to sign, people were surprised to find that the two seats prepared for the plenipotentiary representatives of the Chinese state were always empty.  At the same time as the signing ceremony, Gu Weijun was riding in a car through the streets of Paris.

    On June 22, Golzen returned to Moscow with a peace treaty document belonging to Russia as a gift to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's "pregnancy".  According to the peace treaty, the Russian Empire legally expanded its power in Europe: the Baltic Sea became Russia's ocean, Romania and Serbia, whose territories had greatly expanded, became Russia's most reliable younger brothers, and Hungary and Bulgaria became Russia's vassal states.  Russian Poland is still in the hands of Russia, and the newly defeated Poland seems so weak.

    Since it is a big gift, there must be gifts.  The gifts that Golzen brought were North Korean representative Park Seung-il and three other people.  While in Paris, Golzen and Park Seung-il initially reached an agreement on cooperation: Russia secretly supported North Korea's anti-Japanese movement, and North Korea was responsible for providing intelligence on Japan's activities in North Korea and Northeast China.

    Anna, who was "pregnant" for one month, personally met Park Shengyi, which made Park Shengyi feel flattered and kept bowing.  If Tianchao's news broadcast in the 21st century is the same, Anna first highly praised the generation-to-generation friendship between the people of Russia and North Korea, then expressed deep sympathy for the North Korean pro-democracy movement, and finally held the opponent's hand and said seriously, "The business of the North Korean people is  Regarding the Russian people, Japan¡¯s annexation of North Korea is not only a violation of North Korea¡¯s sovereignty, but also a challenge to Asia and world peace! Russia will always stand by North Korea.¡±

    "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Park Shengyi was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He seemed to see the hope of North Korea's restoration: Compared with the Chinese country, which is a brother in distress, Russia looks more reliable.

    Then, the two sides formally signed an alliance treaty, and Anna promised to provide arms and supplies to the North Korean resistance organization. As for the transportation problem, North Korea will solve it itself. In addition, North Korea can send young officers to Russia for military training.

    "Your Majesty, I have made a list. Please come over.Head.  ¡°Park Seung-il took out a roster.

    "Oh? Mr. Park is so efficient in doing things!" At this moment, Anna was somewhat appreciative of this young North Korean stickman. She opened the roster, and names with North Korean characteristics appeared in front of her eyes.  "Kim Il-bi?! What kind of weird name is this?" Anna's jaw dropped, and she immediately remembered a name: Kim Il-sung.  In previous lives, the slogan "General Kim is the Red Sun!" has been the mantra of the North Korean people.

    "Your Majesty, Kim Il-bi is the leader of a guerrilla group in the north of our country. He is brave and good at fighting. He has gathered thousands of people in just a few years. Of course, he has long been on the Japanese blacklist."

    "So it's considered a temporary refuge?" Anna narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Park, since General Kim Il-bi is so good at fighting, then I have to ask the instructor to guide him well. Maybe he is a military genius that is rare to see in a century."  !"

    "Then let me thank you first on behalf of General Kim Il-bi, Your Majesty!" Pu Shengyi bowed again.

    The spacious carriages are covered with thick carpets and decorated with oak boards used at the Paris Exposition. Each carriage has a separate bathroom. This is a luxurious royal train.  The strangely dressed female flight attendants make all passengers curious: these beautiful Russian girls wear suits on the upper body and midi skirts on the lower body, paired with stockings and black leather shoes, and look very smart.

    The war that just passed was not only a disaster, it also greatly liberated the majority of women.  Before the war, both ladies and peasant women wore long skirts. After the war, midi skirts and trousers gradually became popular.

    Park Shengyi was lucky. It happened that Anna was going to take a train to inspect the Asian territories of the empire, so Anna simply invited the North Korean representatives to accompany them. Since they were going back to North Korea anyway, she might as well let them hitch a ride.
