    "Shaochuan calm down, drink a cup of tea first, and calm down for a while. Britain's diplomacy in the Far East has always been biased towards Japan, don't you know this? Some private exchanges of interests are normal." It's strange to say,  Wang Xueqian stopped being angry after being angry. Living in the era of the Republic of China, if he had been angry at every turn, he would have died of anger long ago.  Gu Weijun stared at Wang Xueqian, as if looking at a class enemy, but what was gratifying was that he was somewhat confused, indicating that there was still value in saving: "Who are you on the other side?" "Of course I stand with you!  "Wang Xueqian said seriously, this is a matter of position and cannot be doubted.  However, the situation in front of them seemed to have suddenly changed, and the British had taken back the initiative.  But it's not right to say that the devil is as high as the Taoist. But that's what it means. The British have ways to win allies in diplomacy, but it doesn't mean that the Republic of China will be helpless.  Wang Xueqian immediately called out to Qu: "Shaochuan, thank you for saying this! I am so busy, with the tip of my back foot kicking my front heel, how can I still help the foreign enemy? If it weren't for our weak foundation now.  , I really want to slap the table in front of Li Farrar and say: You must agree to my request, but I object to your request." "But is this okay?" Wang Xueqian's tone softened, a bit like coaxing Gu Weijun.  Meaning: "The road ahead is long, and we are not just talking about it. Nowadays, our protests have no effect. If we don't protest, we will feel uncomfortable. We feel that we are stuck in a dead end with no way out. But you seem to have forgotten a key issue." "I  I don¡¯t want you to coax me!¡± Gu Weijun now had a smile on his face. His livid face just now gave people the impression of being poisoned, and it was extremely poisonous: ¡°But what is the key question you are talking about?¡±  The British came to Shanghai not because we begged them, but because they came here. Until they realize this fact, I think all negotiations with the British can be suspended. In addition, Japan's problems are not something you can solve.  , let them go find Zhang Zuolin. At this time, the war along the Great Wall is about to break out. If Japan dares to force Zhang Zuolin, what will happen to this old bandit? Anyway, Cao Kun will be the happy one in the end.  Damn it, no matter how Cao Kun's government compromised, it was finally forced to sign a lease agreement, and it would still have to be pushed to Zhang Zuolin's end.  ¡° If we really have to sign a lease period agreement with South Manchuria, Zhang Zuolin will definitely not be so opposed to it.  Anyway, the traitor is Cao Kun and has nothing to do with him.  But there will definitely be protests against Cao Kun's government.  Because even Zhang Zuolin knew that trying to drive away the Japanese in Southern Manchuria was basically wishful thinking.  Can the meat taken away by the wolf come back?  "Okay, what you said makes sense. But we are in Shanghai" Gu Weijun showed some worries. It was not appropriate for him to return to Yanjing, because then the British would catch up with the Japanese and Yanjing.  In that case, even if Cao Kun thought highly of Gu Weijun before, he would be very angry because he brought the whole big trouble to Yanjing.  "But if he doesn't go to Yanjing, where can Gu Weijun go?"  Wang Xueqian smiled and said, "We have already thought of a countermeasure." After saying that, he picked up the internal phone and called Chen Bui.  "Where is Hoover?" The U.S. Secretary of Commerce came to China, and he was still on Wang Xueqian's territory. Chen Brai was afraid of something happening, so he kept an eye on it personally: "Secretary Hoover first went to Xiamen from Manila and was already in  I have been in Xiamen for a day, and I estimate that I will leave this afternoon and arrive in Shanghai in about two days. "" Send him a telegram to invite him to Ningbo to visit the Sino-US cooperation project. " Chen Brai quickly wrote the draft of the telegram.  After Wang Xueqian read it once, he reviewed it.  The telegram would be delivered to Hoover in less than an hour.  But after doing this, Gu Weijun looked at Wang Xueqian curiously and asked, "Do you still have cooperation projects with the Americans?" "Ningbo has many cooperation projects with the United States. The two power plants were purchased from the United States.  Do you dare to say that the unit is not a Sino-US cooperation project? There are shipyards, ports, steel rolling mills, steel forging plants, engine manufacturing plants, etc. As long as the American machines are purchased, in a broad sense, it is China.  Is there any difference between U.S. cooperation projects?" Seeing what Wang Xueqian said was straightforward, Gu Weijun didn't dwell on these small details.  The more plausibly Wang Xueqian spoke, the more worried Gu Weijun became.  Experience and lessons taught him that trusting Wang Xueqian completely would be difficult for himself: "I understand what you mean by talking to the Americans, which is to make the British suspicious. But in fact, as far as I know, your cooperation with the Americans is not the same.  Due to the tightness and current foreign policy of Americans, it is difficult for Americans to express support in public. In addition, don¡¯t forget that Hoover was just the director of the U.S. Food Administration, and then the secretary of commerce.  How much influence does it have in the United States? You and I???Clear!  In fact, he was just a mining engineer ten years ago, and he didn't know where he came from.  " "Brother Shaochuan, your concept is very wrong!  Don't care about a person's origin, it's prejudice.  " Definitely alarmist, Wang Xueqian fiddled with his index finger, pretending to teach others. Gu Weijun snorted angrily, and he couldn't figure it out. Anyway, Hoover rose too fast in the American political arena. Such a person is not  It is very possible that he has achieved too much. Although he is very prestigious now, he is far from the standard of an 'important person' that Gu Weijun expected. "Don't worry about where Hoover came from. He became an official because of luck.  Well, a charitable act was launched to save the American people from the war.  But in fact this is not the case. Most countries in Europe recognize dual nationality. Don¡¯t you deny this?  " "The Republic of China also recognized dual nationality.  "Gu Weijun added. "Wang Xueqian is sweating. He seems to don't know yet. As a Republican and a senior official of the Republic of China, he seems to be a little too indifferent to the affairs of his own country, but it doesn't matter. The key to the problem is not this: "The European War  After the outbreak, it escalated linearly. As the chief engineer of a mining company, Hoover was not even a politician, but he organized an organization to help the people who suffered during the European war in the United States. The scale was large from the beginning, and he would never use his own money.  Are you going to supplement this bottomless pit?  Besides, does he have enough money?  But these people he rescued can be Dutch, Belgians, French, British, Irish They have one thing in common, that is, they have American nationality and are Europeans at the same time.  When the European War was in full swing, they chose their identity as Americans and gave up their nationality. What does this mean?  " There are always times when Gu Weijun can't keep up with Wang Xueqian's brain. Anyway, although this guy has a quick brain, he can always be closer to a normal person: "Did Hoover receive instructions from the US government, or the political arena?  " Wang Xueqian is full of black knowledge. When he opens his eyes, he can't tell lies. But the way he looks at people is somewhat playful, as if he can see through the darkest side of people's hearts. As for there is no darkness.   Is it really easy to imagine the other party as being dark? The world is a big place and people are selfish. Although this principle cannot be applied to everyone, it cannot be wrong at least to politicians.  : "You think too simply, there is nothing embarrassing in thinking worse about him.  He may have been sympathetic at first, I don¡¯t know if it was crocodile tears, but at least he was doing something good.  But when his relief cause is receiving more and more support in the country, it is difficult for him to be ignored by politicians. Perhaps this is how he got connected with the American political arena.  However, a rescue project supported by a country has only saved hundreds of thousands of people. Do you think it¡¯s okay?  " "People have their limits, what's so surprising!  " "Brother Shaochuan!  You may think it is too simple. The population of the United States is mainly composed of Europeans. It stands to reason that American law requires direct relatives to obtain dual citizenship. The population of American citizens in Europe is at least tens of millions.  If the United States pulls all these people away, Europe will stop going to war, and they will all go to the United States to farm.  Then there are two possibilities. The relief association helps the upper class of Europe to escape the war. Of course, there are also engineers, scientists, and university professors and scholars. Imagine joining an old man from the French countryside. His son is an American. According to the law, he can apply  With dual citizenship and becoming an American, will Hoover's relief organization give him a ticket to the United States?  "    "Won't!  ¡± Gu Weijun was a little stuck. After being secretly changed by Wang Xueqian, he discovered that Hoover had sinister intentions. Americans advocate humanitarian aid, which is the core of Western values. This is why most of the richest people in the United States will become rich after they are old.  After his business started to improve, Hoover's actions easily moved the entire American society, because most Americans had European relatives, but what he did behind the scenes made him feel deeply.  Even if a person can be used as a bargaining chip in a transaction, can this person be trusted? But the three reasons Wang Xueqian went on to make it difficult for him to argue: "First, he is a member of the U.S. cabinet and can affirm Chengdu's attitude on behalf of the United States.  " "Second, he is a veteran of the Republic of China. He has worked as a mining engineer in Kailuan for many years and entered management. He speaks Chinese and can at least tell the difference between 'have you eaten?  ¡¯ and ¡®go to the hut¡¯ have two different meanings, and that¡¯s enough.  He is the only expert on Republican affairs in the U.S. cabinet.  Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was useless.  " "Third, and even more important, he came to the Republic of China to express goodwill on behalf of the U.S. government.  " "These three points combined are enough to make the British nervous.  ¡±?¡­  Seeing that Gu Weijun was silent, it was not that he was afraid that the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Republic of China would not understand, but that he must be thinking about the feasibility of what Wang Xueqian just said.  However, Wang Xueqian chuckled: "Let me use an analogy What is the name of the maid next to my sister-in-law?" "Yu He." "To Yu He. Usually you and Yu He meet and give orders in a public area, but suddenly something happened  One day you secretly asked Yu He to go to the study" "Stop it!" Gu Weijun stared at Wang Xueqian with feigned anger, and the latter's look of understanding made him speechless.  There are no shadows. If you change the environment, you can see many problems.  Gu Weijun felt that what Wang Xueqian said made sense. At least he could use Hoover, an American, to test the nerves of the British.  See if the other person is nervous and to what extent!  Maybe because he felt that it was very feasible, Gu Weijun also began to think about how to receive it, but he still didn't intend to spare Wang Xueqian: "You said so much just to corrupt a senior American official?" "No." Wang Xueqian  Pretending to be profound: "I just want to explain one thing. Hoover is a qualified politician. But any qualified politician will not refuse any opportunity to increase his bargaining chip. Because he does not need to make any promises, nor  You don¡¯t have to worry about being questioned by Congress after returning to China, but you can help the US government break through the difficulties in the Far East at the diplomatic level. "Zigao, you finally got to the point. The United States will not turn a blind eye to the Pacific and drive it away.  The Spanish-American War was launched to unblock the Panama Canal, but it was unjustifiable to use this reason to persuade Congress to occupy the Philippines. It can be said that President McKinley initiated the war by exercising the special power of the president.  The expansion of the war to the Far East was approved by Congress, and the military even issued a plan to make huge sacrifices. This sacrifice may be 20,000 Americans, or it may be 50,000. However, after acquiring the Philippines, the United States did not imagine that it would be in the Far East.  There is too much influence. Even the impression of the Republic of China is minimal, not to mention France, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries that have large colonies in the Far East. The United States Congress is unwilling to expand the contradiction and is only based on not launching a war.  If we don't do it, the United States will have influence in the Far East. I believe the Americans will not miss it." Gu Weijun explained the reasons and felt that it was very feasible. He looked at Wang Xueqian expectantly: "What should we do next?" "Drink tea.  Waiting for a response." Wang Xueqian said with a dry mouth. He took a few sips from the tea bowl to moisten his throat.  Gu Weijun is not as calm as Wang Xueqian. He was tricked by the British, and his inner anxiety is very obvious.  Two hours later, Chen Brai took the telegram sent from Xiamen. The contents of the telegram confirmed Wang Xueqian¡¯s guess.  Hoover agreed to go to Ningbo, but the sailing date was changed to Ningbo the day after tomorrow.  This news excited Gu Weijun.  But after the excitement, he glanced at Wang Xueqian suspiciously, feeling that it was too suspicious, and asked softly: "Are the words at the banquet true?" "What banquet?" Wang Xueqian was not pretending to be stupid, but he just didn't want to think too much: "That's right.  A banquet for the British? " "And that banquet?" Gu Weijun felt that Wang Xueqian was hiding something from him. Of course, it was just a guess: "Did you already know the intention of the Americans? " "It should be that the United States is trying to expand trade with the Republic of China?  The concessions made were mainly focused on the Southeast issue. "This issue is difficult to say, but as Wang Xueqian becomes more and more powerful, the US government will definitely be worried. After all, they are too close to the British.  .  Cutting off contact with Wang Xueqian will result in a loss of tens of millions of dollars in exports every year.  When Hoover came to the Republic of China, based on the tone Lawrence told him at the time, he should have a trump card that was enough to make Wang Xueqian's heart beat.  "The American concession in Xiamen." Gu Weijun asked in a tentative tone. It was really hard for him to believe that the Americans would let out of the concession in Xiamen.  The Xiamen Concession has more symbolic significance than actual benefits to the United States. According to the American character, it is easy to give up.  Most of the U.S. trade with China is concentrated in three cities, Shanghai, Tianjin and Dalian.  Xiamen's status is not prominent, and it is easy to explain that in order to support the political forces headed by Wang Xueqian, the US government took out the already dispensable American Concession in Xiamen.  Wang Xueqian thought for a while and nodded: "The possibility is very high." "That's enough!" Gu Weijun suffered from the lack of a trump card in his hand. Now that he had a US concession in his hand, he suddenly had more room for detours.  Even holding up the vastness of the sky.  Suddenly he was full of confidence: "Zigao, what kind of treatment are you going to give Hoover?" "The highest standard. All the major officials in the southeast will go, and the same is true in Shanghai. The British will not be able to find anyone even if they want to look for them, and they will be there helplessly.  ?The more I wait, the colder my heart becomes.  "Wang Xueqian sneered, waiting to see the British joke. So it was very strange that the next day, the person in charge of Shanghai became the secretary-general of a government, and Mr. Yang Duyang took office. Last night, Du Yuesheng kept talking He told him that one thing more is worse than one thing less. Ten million, ten million, must stabilize the situation in Shanghai. Yang Duming agreed happily, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that he alone had the final say in the huge yamen. My thoughts suddenly overflowed, and I couldn't stop staring at the phone on my desk. I couldn't keep staring like this. After a while, I picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the police station: "Ask your director to bring out all the files on wanted criminals. I'll be there in half an hour.  " The police chief didn't know the intention of the government secretary-general, and he didn't dare to offend Yang Du. He had to frown and ask his subordinates to go to the warehouse to find the files. When Yang Du arrived at the police station, he went up to the chief and down to the police.  All the clerks gathered in the courtyard to wait. They all knew the temper of Secretary Yang. In front of most of the government, they didn't know what the fuss was about. After Yang Du got out of the car, he didn't look at the director to please him.  With an expression on his face, he went directly to the office, looking at the mountains of files, the smile on his lips became even thicker: "Go, pick out the most heinous cases and make people and gods angry, and write a copy to the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.  Sir, I am going to the consulate to sue the British Concession for helping the wanted criminals of the Republic of China to abscond!  "The director's smiling face suddenly froze, and then turned into panic, extremely rich.
