Chapter 429 Quarrel

Before the peace conference, the Chinese delegation came to Paris with full confidence, hoping to change the destiny of the country through this peace conference. They carefully prepared seven conditions, abolishing the sphere of influence, taking back the leased land and concessions, and abolishing extraterritoriality.

, tariff independence, everything is something that China must do if it wants to be independent.

Whether it is Lu Zhengxiang or Gu Weijun, they all have the wisdom. Even if they cannot meet all of these conditions, as a victorious country, they must satisfy one or two. Even if they only get one, it is a huge improvement.

The country has an explanation.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After the Chinese delegation arrived in Paris, it was characterized as a warring country with individual interests. It could only send two plenipotentiary representatives to the meeting, not even as good as the three from Belgium, Brazil and Serbia.

, only on the same level as Poland, which had just been restored after being partitioned for many years.

This arrangement was shameless to the extreme. People like Gu Weijun felt a strong gap and had a premonition that something was not going to happen. It turned out to be true. None of the seven conditions proposed by China were passed. What was even more outrageous was that the great powers also

To transfer German power in Shandong to Japan simply despises China to the extreme.

“Mr.

For fish and meat, there is no justice in this world!"

When Gu Weijun said this, his anger had hit the top of his head and his teeth were clenching!

As a Chinese, Xia Han was filled with anger. He slammed the table and said, "Mr. Gu. In the final analysis, there is no diplomacy for a weak country! If a country cannot stand up, it will always be looked down upon by others. You don't have to be too harsh."

I blame myself, so I can only keep this account in mind. Let’s develop industry and reorganize the army. Thirty years from Hedong to Hexi for thirty years, I don’t believe that the Chinese people can’t stand up!”

"Mr. Xia, I saw something very valuable from your Fengtian delegation. You are full of confidence in this country and full of energy, unlike others. There are many confused people in China and many people talking empty words.

, but there are too few people who are truly confident and willing to do things.”

"Mr. Gu, I am a soldier. I lost an arm in the army. Now I have set up a factory. My perspective on the problem may be different from yours. What matters on the battlefield is industrial strength. If we can make more

With more and more advanced weapons, we can win the war and defeat the opponent. Can other countries bully us?"

Gu Weijun nodded slightly after listening to Xia Han's words. In other words, this is the current situation. He has no ability to defeat others on the battlefield. When he comes to the negotiation table, he will still be bullied.

“Mr.

Look at the three provinces and find a real way out for China."

"If Mr. Gu can come to Fengtian, I will definitely be a good host!"

While Gu Weijun and Xia Han were chatting, suddenly there was some commotion among the crowd on the street, and then Xia Han and Gu Weijun heard bursts of shouting from outside.

"Fight to the death to give me back Qingdao!"

"I'd rather have broken jade than complete tiles!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Han and Gu Weijun hurried outside the street, only to see a dense crowd of people appearing far above the street. They were waving various banners and shouting slogans, from far to near.

, strode over this way.

"Mr. Gu, why are there so many Chinese people in Paris?" Xia Han asked in confusion.

"The Chinese government once sent 100,000 workers to France to help them fight. It was these workers who won us the status of a victorious nation. Unexpectedly, when diplomacy failed, they stood up to protest again. The Chinese people are still there, and their blood is still there.

!I will send a report to the government now, and I will never sign the peace treaty with Germany."

Gu Weijun was completely moved by these workers. He turned around and left, preparing to report to the Beiyang government. But these ragged workers continued to take bold strides and passed by. Xia Han saw all this,

He suddenly rolled his eyes and thought of an idea.

He did not hesitate to join the team of workers, shouting slogans with them, and marched towards the Palace of Versailles where heads of state gathered. Along the way, workers continued to join the team, and the number of people was increasing. These people in a foreign land

Only Chinese workers can understand most clearly what the motherland is and what dignity it is.

Once you are Chinese, you will be Chinese forever! Every person with yellow skin and black eyes makes them extraordinarily friendly. With each additional person, their strength becomes stronger and their slogans become louder. The French are also extremely surprised. Usually,

How could the extremely docile Chinese workers suddenly become so angry? These people were all frightened.

Thousands of Chinese workers launched a demonstration, which also alerted the French government. As an old empire that had just defeated Germany, the French were already the biggest victors. They were so swollen that they were not willing to let the Chinese slap them in the face.

Therefore, the French government immediately mobilized a large number of military police and blocked all the roads leading to the Palace of Versailles. Dozens of black machine guns were aimed at all the Chinese workers. As long as they dared to take another step forward, the French would kill them.

shot.

The French government's arrogance and unreasonableness immediately aroused the anger of the Chinese workers. A young worker came to the front and violently tore off his clothes, revealing a huge scar on his chest, stretching from the right chest to the front.

When it reaches the ribs, it is more than half a foot long, and it is ferocious and frightening.

"You bastards, open your eyes and look at it. We workers are here to do the work, but you treat us like cannon fodder and make us go to the front line to dig trenches and transport ammunition. This wound was left by the German cannon!

The Chinese workers have sweated and shed blood for your victory, but in exchange for you treating us like this? Can you do it?"

The worker's question was quickly translated, and all the French police present understood it. Some of them also felt a little ashamed. These workers did not tell a lie. The French government regarded them as cheap cannon fodder.

Thousands of Chinese workers died in France and were injured in France.

As a result, in the end, they not only refused to recognize China's status as a victorious nation, but also violated China's interests. They were simply worse than animals. The reporters who heard the news also took pictures of this scene and recorded it one after another.

"China cannot be humiliated, give me back Qingdao!"

"Give me back Qingdao!"

“Give me back Qingdao!”…

The loud shouts rang out again, and every Chinese worker was full of grievances and resentments. At this time, they all burst out, and the French people around them were a little moved.

At this time, a judge suddenly ran to the scene of the confrontation, his face full of anger. He immediately rushed in front of the military police and shouted loudly: "Listen to me, you must not let these dirty Chinese pigs

You have insulted the honor of France. I order you to prepare for battle. If these Chinese pigs do not leave within three minutes, you will shoot them immediately. Shoot them all!"

After this murderous order was conveyed, someone quickly conveyed it to these workers and ordered them to retreat arbitrarily. These workers were immediately mad at the unreasonable attitude of the French government, and the young worker in charge simply sat on the ground.

"The French devils will beat us all to death if they can, and use our blood to expose their hypocritical masks!"

The confrontation on the scene became more and more serious, and the atmosphere was about to freeze. Xia Han hurriedly walked out of the group of workers and came to the front of all the workers, who also noticed him for the first time.

"Compatriots, please listen to me. Through this incident, everyone must have seen clearly the faces of the great powers. They claim to be civilized, but they are actually a group of barbaric beasts. There is no reason in this world, only strength. We should not be here.

Instead of shouting slogans, it is better to go back to the country to build the country and develop our country. One day these powers will also demand us."

Xia Han's words made the workers quiet a lot. The young worker also got up from the ground, came to Xia Han, and asked: "Where are you from, sir? What do you think?"

"I am the manager of Fengtian Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. I fully understand everyone's patriotic enthusiasm, but enthusiasm alone is not enough. We cannot fight with fists and machine guns. Now a large number of factories have been established in the three northeastern provinces and they are in urgent need of all kinds of workers. If

If anyone is interested, I will help you arrange for you to work in the three northeastern provinces."

"Sir, do we in China have steel plants like those of the great powers?"

"Of course, the Fengtian government is going all out for construction, investing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of yuan every year. We have worked hard for 20 years and we will definitely no longer be bullied by the big powers. Are you interested in going to the three eastern provinces?

?”

After thinking about it, these workers all agreed. Xia Han was also very happy in his heart. These workers, who had traveled across the ocean and experienced the war, had seen a lot of the world, had good organizational discipline, endured hardships and stood hard work, and did not have to do too much.

After training, you can directly enter the factory to work.

What's more important is that these workers have personally felt the shame of the country being trampled on. As the saying goes, only after knowing shame can you be brave. With this experience, they will definitely work harder and understand the meaning of the country better.

Xia Han successfully persuaded these workers and prepared to bring them back to the country. At this time, the country also received news of the failure of diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference. The whole country was boiling instantly, and students once again became the vanguard. Major universities in Beijing

Demonstrations were launched one after another, and soon all walks of life joined in. The momentum became more and more powerful, and even spread to the whole country.

And this parade is not just a patriotic action from all walks of life. In fact, there are struggles among various factions in Beiyang behind it. In addition, other local princes also participated in it. The most active ones are Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, and Lao Zhang, the chief military officer.

generals issued a telegram, firmly opposing the signing of a peace treaty with Germany, and also demanding that Prime Minister Duan Qirui take responsibility for the failure of diplomacy.

Lao Zhang's electrification undoubtedly set off a wave of petitions for his title. However, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan and his son were not included in the list of electrified men, which made the outside world full of doubts. As the most powerful factions in the Fengjun army besides Lao Zhang, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan

What on earth are you planning!

In fact, just before, Fengjun's top brass held a secret meeting, and the core of the discussion was this issue. At the meeting, Zhang Tinglan had a conflict with Lao Zhang for the first time.

"Commander, I believe that Fengjun currently has three major problems. The internal affairs are unstable, the military industry is in ruins, and Northern Xinjiang is restless. There are wolves and dogs outside, and there are hidden dangers inside. Even if we overthrow the Beiyang government, we will not be able to digest the whole country, and there will be more

Facing the pressure from all parties, the newly restored vitality of the three eastern provinces will be completely exhausted. At present, we can only practice martial arts and cultivate literature, and taste our courage. As long as our strength is sufficient, we will not worry about not having the opportunity to take over the Central Plains, and there is no need to rush for a while!"

"If God refuses to take action, you will be blamed! As you said, Fengjun has problems, but the Beiyang government has bigger problems and more troubles. A God-given opportunity is in front of us, and we cannot let it pass, even if we cannot unify the country.

, even if you take the whole north!" Wu Junsheng still took the lead in refuting Zhang Tinglan's proposition.

Zhang Zuolin on the side frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
