    The people around Wang Xueqian and Gu Weijun knew that their 'boss' was in a very good mood when they heard that the two could secretly quarrel while the British and Japanese were in the banquet hall.  Especially Gu Weijun, he rarely felt so relaxed in diplomatic situations.  Not long after he became the son-in-law of Tang Shaoyi, the then Prime Minister of the Republic of China, he entered the diplomatic affairs of the Republic of China.  He was quickly promoted to the position of minister. This made him clearly realize how severe the diplomatic situation of the Republic of China was soon after entering the political arena?  Many issues have been simmering for a long time and are simply not diplomatic differences that can be resolved in a short time.  In addition, due to financial difficulties, the Beiyang government had to adopt the method of drinking poison to quench its thirst, constantly borrowing money in exchange for financial resources to expand the army. However, from now on, due to the continuous loss of diplomatic autonomy during the Yuan Shikai period, the Republic of China has already  To the point of faltering.  Even several small European countries can participate in the "Nine-Nation Pact" and participate in the huge market of the Republic of China. It can be seen that the diplomatic situation of the Republic of China has not improved in any way compared with the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, it has fallen deeper and deeper.  The deeper.  So, when Gu Weijun served as minister in the United Kingdom and the United States, he had only one feeling: being ignored.  The great powers would not pay attention to the requirements of the Republic of China government at all. Without passing through the Republic of China, they would set rules for the Republic of China's diplomacy.  At the Paris Peace Conference, this kind of outrageous behavior reached such a height that Gu Weijun and Gu Weijun had to angrily declare at the final signing ceremony of the Paris Peace Conference: "The Republic of China will never sign the "Contract of Versailles", nor will it recognize it.  The terms of the contract are legal to the Republic of China. "Because of this incident, Gu Weijun's reputation suddenly became a nationally known diplomat, and he became a rising star on the diplomatic stage of the Republic of China.  But even so, for him, the diplomatic dilemma of the Republic of China has not changed at all.  Therefore, every time he participated in a diplomatic meeting, his whole person gave people a sharp-edged look, like a sword out of its sheath, as if it was about to hurt someone with a flash of cold light.  Because, most of the time, he was an opponent, opposed, opposed, and continued to oppose the unfair treatment of the Republic of China by the great powers.  The staff, subordinates, and followers around him were all used to Gu Weijun's overly serious expression in diplomatic situations. Suddenly he became more relaxed, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.  "Brother Shaochuan, you don't think everything I said is a lie, do you?" "Is there any truth?" Wang Xueqian thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems not." Gu Weijun laughed angrily: "Zigao, you  Do you think promises exchanged for lies will be useful? In diplomatic situations, the charm of diplomacy is only uncompromising attitude on key issues and equal feedback of goodwill. " Wang Xueqian wondered, can the Republic of China still get goodwill abroad?  ?  This is a big problem: "Brother Shaochuan, you are worrying too much. Even the agreements between allies may not be reliable, not to mention that our relationship with Britain is between hostility and non-communication. The current situation is that Britain has nothing to do,  The Republic of China was helpless, so we had to find a reason or a lie to convince ourselves to achieve a relatively satisfactory result. Therefore, a particularly magical relationship and friendship was born in our diplomatic exchanges with the United Kingdom.  " "So, you are still at the disadvantage!" Gu Weijun felt that Wang Xueqian was taking advantage of him and behaved well. If it were a different era and a different person, he might have to prepare for a life of escape.  This person is still governing in the south.  But Wang Xueqian added fuel to the fire: "No, I exposed my strength in exchange for the opportunity to negotiate. Isn't the sacrifice big enough? Moreover, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits from the negotiation.  Do you think I will suffer a lot if I can get the British's verbal guarantee of friendship? " "Friendship! Isn't this self-deception?" Gu Weijun frowned in confusion.  "Brother Shaochuan, you have awakened! Whoever tells the truth in diplomacy will be in trouble! If you want to feel at ease, you must first convince yourself with a lie." Wang Xueqian praised.  "I'm confused! However, if the diplomacy of the Republic of China falls into your hands, I'm afraid it's not unlucky, but doomed." Gu Weijun glanced at Wang Xueqian's sad look with disdain, and said to himself: Just pretend!  There are times when you can¡¯t pretend anymore.  Wang Xueqian retorted vehemently: "Aren't we just dealing with the big powers? I can guarantee that if I were the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, I would do a better job than you!" Gu Weijun snorted, even though he looked very disdainful.  But his wife Huang Huilan and his secretary knew that this man was in a really good mood.  Seeing that Gu Weijun and his wife were still in the mood to pick up a champagne glass from the waiter and toast to the American diplomats with a smile, Chen Brai pursed his lips thoughtfully and thought about it, and then he feltWang Xueqian was cheerful and said with a smile: "Director Gu seems to be in a good mood." "You can see it too!" As one of Gu Weijun's few friends in the official circles of the Republic of China, and having worked with Gu Weijun for a period of time, Wang Xueqian was very interested in  Regardless of whether Gu Weijun's understanding was the best in the Republic of China, he was still ranked among the top three.  The good mood of this person was probably not just Wang Xueqian who caught Baron Lee Farrar of the British diplomatic delegation off guard.  Perhaps more importantly, there is hope that his inner thoughts will be realized. Wang Xueqian is still struggling in his heart. Should he really support Gu Weijun?  But he was curious about how Chen Brai could tell: "How did you tell that he was in a good mood?" "Well I have met Director Gu a few times. When he met foreigners before, he always had a straight face, and even his smile was like a smile.  That kind of fake smile without warmth. But today is different. He even walks lightly!" Chen Bui thought it was Wang Xueqian who was taking the exam. After thinking about it, he continued to add: "I'm afraid he is not interested in this diplomatic mediation.  You must have a more optimistic attitude!" "That's true, this guy came here with careful thoughts, and he will definitely not speak for Zhejiang, because it is not in his interests, and the interests of the Cao Kun Group behind him.  Well! It's very simple. In the past, Cao Kun might not have paid much attention to Zhejiang, but now that we have exposed our strength and let them know, I am afraid that Cao Kun will regard me as one of his opponents in the future. Therefore, we must also guard against Gu Weijun.  Of course he can't sell Zhejiang to Britain. He doesn't have the courage to do such dirty things." Wang Xueqian laughed out loud, feeling that Gu Weijun was too serious in diplomatic situations.  When he was in Washington, even his assistant looked a little scary, especially his smile that was too fake, like a lone wolf lifting his lips. The white teeth were exposed, but it gave people a sinister feeling.  There is no warmth at all: "When I used to see him in diplomatic situations, he seemed to be constipated and hadn't gone to the toilet for five days. It made people want to avoid him" "Don't slander Director Gu!" Wang Xueqian is here  When he was secretly trying to eliminate Gu Weijun, he discovered that someone among the people around him actually held an objection, and a slight force came from his arm, indicating that he was a woman.  Turning around, Miss Song San looked at Wang Xueqian angrily, but the moment she met Wang Xueqian's eyes, she became flustered for no reason: "Zigao, don't speak ill of Mr. Gu like that, eldest sister likes him very much.  "Your eldest sister, do you like Gu Weijun? Besides, I didn't say anything bad about him! What I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Bui, right?" Wang Xueqian said innocently.  Chen Brai was stunned in embarrassment, then he looked like he was giving up, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! He is that kind of person." But Wang Xueqian was puzzled again. He felt that the whole person was weird, and he didn't know what was wrong.  How could Miss Song be in love with Gu Weijun?  Doesn¡¯t the eldest lady like the kind of man who looks more mature, older, and chewy?  Those who are twenty years older are not a problem, such as Mr. Sun Da.  Wang Xueqian has always firmly believed that Miss Song has a strong Electra complex. Otherwise, how could she like Mr. Sun?  The more he thought about it, the weirder he got, and the more wrong he thought about it: "How could your eldest sister like a pretty boy like Gu Weijun? Impossible!" "What's so strange about this? Mr. Gu is handsome, capable, and has extraordinary bearing.  , elegant in manner. Especially when he faced the pressure of many major powers in the world at the Paris Peace Conference, he angrily denounced the banditry of the major powers and fought for the final interests of the nation and country. Such a man is almost perfect and flawless.  Man, who wouldn¡¯t like it?¡± Miss Song San saw the strange look in Wang Xueqian¡¯s eyes and became panicked.  Only then did I realize that the eldest sister was a married woman, but she admired another married woman. This seemed not good for her reputation.  Of course, Wang Xueqian's thoughts were irrelevant. He thought of "Journey to the West", in which Tang Monk became Gu Weijun, and the eldest lady of the Song family was one of the countless female fairies who wanted to eat up Gu Weijun's thoughts alive.  It's obvious.  "Then your eldest sister, are you looking forward to Gu Weijun's divorce?" "No!" Wang Xueqian's curiosity was, as expected, met with a blank stare.  "How could it not be possible? It seems that your eldest sister is not as determined as Mrs. Huang. She said without hesitation that the thought of replacing Mrs. Tang tortured her day by day." Okay, Miss Song San is very angry.  She was speechless. She felt that being Wang Xueqian's secretary was not an easy task. Other aunts from the Christian Association were annoying.  Of course, there was nothing serious about it. Her English had never been shown anyway, and the guy next to her had no worse English than hers.  It seemed as if he was just a vase beside Wang Xueqian, which made Song SanSister's originally high enthusiasm seemed to have been extinguished by a basin of cold water, and she couldn't hold her head up.  "Mr. Lawrence!" "I should say His Excellency the Governor!" Lawrence narrowed his eyes and glanced at Miss Song San next to Wang Xueqian, with a playful expression.  "My English secretary is temporarily serving as today's female companion." "That's a pity!" Lawrence raised his glass and touched Wang Xueqian casually, then whispered: "William, can you do me a favor?  "We are old friends. As long as it is not too difficult, I will definitely satisfy you." "Delay the negotiation with the British for three days." Wang Xueqian was stunned by this request.  If Consul General Keninghan had made such a request, perhaps Wang Xueqian would not be surprised at all.  But it might not be appropriate for Lawrence to bring it up.  Lawrence also explained: "Some people at the Consulate General are not trustworthy. Therefore, Your Excellency, the Consul, entrusted me to come forward to discuss with you." Wang Xueqian understood instantly that the British and even the Americans were not at ease, and spies from the Military Intelligence Bureau were deployed.  Inside the US Consulate.  "What's the reason?" "Secretary Hoover, the President's special envoy, has been setting off from Hawaii for five days. He took a fast boat and could reach Shanghai in three days at most. In return, he made a proposal to return the concession in Xiamen  " "This I have to think about it." "Now everyone welcomes Mr. Gu Weijun, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, to give a speech!" Wang Xueqian, as one of the heavyweights at the banquet, took Miss Song San to the front of the table out of courtesy.  Location.  But Miss Song San felt as if a huge wave had stirred up in her heart. Do the Americans want to abandon the American concession in Xiamen?  Wang Xueqian had a premonition that since he came to power, the United States' sales of industrial products to the Republic of China have continued to grow rapidly.  In particular, the export of bulk commodities has given Americans a taste of the sweetness. The growth of bilateral trade has been three or four times that of the original.  Wang Xueqian's fight for control of the Shanghai Concession made the Americans see the crisis.  Xiamen is in the hinterland of Wang Xueqian¡¯s control area. Once conflicts arise between the two parties, Xiamen¡¯s concession cannot be preserved at all.  Moreover, the trade center of the Republic of China was in Shanghai, not Xiamen. Giving up an unimportant concession would bring no loss to the United States, but the favor given to Wang Xueqian would be unlimited.  It is better to be generous than to anticipate possible crises.  Of course, it is impossible for the United States to give up the concession in Shanghai. This is determined by its importance.  And taking back the Xiamen Concession was an irresistible temptation for Wang Xueqian.  The reason why he didn't agree on the spot was because he didn't want to give the Americans a sign of urgency. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Gu Weijun reiterated the opening tone set by Wang Xueqian, and many top executives of foreign banks and banks in the venue reacted wonderfully.  When Baron Lee Farrar gave his speech, people who didn¡¯t know the truth were even more desperate.  We have already started a war, so why talk about friendship?  Isn't this nonsense?  Many people present are thinking of using the tough attitude of the British to steal the cake from Wang Xueqian!  What did this make them think?  Have you been abandoned?  But for Wang Xueqian, Baron Lee Farrar's attitude finally made him relieved. He was also worried that if the British did not cooperate, Zhejiang might issue a war decree.  After this threat was eliminated, he finally felt truly relaxed.  Until Baron Lee Farrar personally said that the 'war' between the two sides was a 'misunderstanding', the string in Wang Xueqian's heart would not loosen.  Unexpectedly, how the plenipotentiary representative of the British diplomatic delegation would cooperate, even Wang Xueqian felt a little intolerable, and continued to deceive honest people, feeling a little intolerable.  Although, through intelligence analysis, he had some guesses about the attitude of the British, and he was even mostly sure that he could resolve the conflict between him and the British in a way that would not harm the interests of the Republic of China.  Because as far as Wang Xueqian is concerned, the British are secondary, and the most important thing is the Japanese.  Even in the normal history of the Republic of China.  In the 1920s, ¡®anti-British¡¯ was the mainstream movement.  ¡°In the 1930s, ¡®anti-Japanese¡¯ suddenly became the main theme.  Wang Xueqian knew that all his preparations were not to deal with the British, but to deal with Japan, whose military power was growing crazily.  After Japan has passed through the 1920s and completed its rapid expansion of its navy, it will soon be unable to resist making territorial demands from outside the world.  This is inevitable and impossible to avoid.  "If Wang Xueqian focused all his energy on "anti-British" and had to slow down his defense preparations against Japan, even he would??I feel like the gains outweigh the losses.  Fortunately, the alarm was lifted in time. Newspapers across the Republic of China will announce the news tomorrow, but Wang Xueqian is entangled in his heart, should he trick the British again?  If an honest person gets angry, he may be more difficult to resist than a bully.  I'm afraid this was also Hitler's confusion during the confrontation with Chamberlain.  On the one hand, there are tempting benefits; on the other hand, there is war. It¡¯s so hard to choose!  (To be continued.)
