"These damn Chinese are extorting money. Great France will not accept it. Go and find people like Gu Weijun. They are provoking human civilization. These terrorists will be severely punished!"
Although Clemenceau said harsh words, to be honest, he still felt very guilty. As long as the Louvre's collections were damaged due to a little negligence, he would never be able to bear the responsibility. Gu Weijun, Lu Zhengxiang and others were also suddenly injured.
We were shocked by the news that Chinese workers actually occupied the Louvre and used it to blackmail the French government. This is definitely an action beyond human imagination.
Lu Zhengxiang's mind had fallen into a stagnant state at this time. Gu Weijun was a little better. He suddenly looked at Li Zongwu and grabbed Li Zongwu's lapel. "Mr. Li, are these workers supported by you? There is no Southwest to come forward."
Those planning workers would never think of threatening the Louvre!"
Li Zongwu did not deny it, and of course he did not admit it. He just put his hands together and said in a deep voice: Mr. "Young Master", this is a world of power, but we don't have power yet, so we can only risk our lives and be too scared to do anything.
Yes, you are so violent that you are willing to cut yourself off and pull the emperor down for fear of your life!"
Lu Zhengxiang also recovered at this time. He was soaked with cold sweat and rushed to Li Zongwu: "Mr. Li, you must not act recklessly. We are engaged in diplomacy, not gang fights, and this is the capital of France.
, the world is paying attention, France will never be beaten by us, hurry up and stop those ignorant workers, otherwise we will all die, tens of thousands of lives, even whether we can go back alive is in a dilemma!"
Gu Weijun had calmed down a bit at this time. Although this operation seemed crazy, it just caught the French people's pain point. They would really retreat if they couldn't protect them. As for the risks they had to take, Gu Weijun didn't care much at this time.
"Minister Lu, our diplomacy has failed this time. We have not taken back any rights. Do we still have the nerve to return to the country? Since we become diplomats, we must be proud. Life and death have long been ignored. The only thing we have to consider is the dignity of the country!"
"
At this moment, news came from the French that Prime Minister Clemenceau was going to urgently summon the Chinese delegation. Gu Weijun suddenly had an idea, rushed into the kitchen, and put a small bottle of cooking oil into the document bag.
Arriving at Clemenceau's office, the three giants happened to be in the office. Clemenceau was furious at this time, staring at Lu Zhengxiang, Gu Weijun and others with red eyes.
"You Chinese are just a bunch of kidnappers and villains!"
"You are shameless robbers and thieves!" Gu Weijun didn't give in, and he didn't have any courtesy. He yelled back. Clemenceau was already almost eighty, and Gu Weijun was only in his thirties. His physical fitness was not the same.
Above the level, Prime Minister Tiger's momentum was actually suppressed.
At this time, U.S. President Wilson was unwilling to let things get out of hand. The situation in Paris must have spread throughout the world and become a laughing stock. If they can't solve it quickly, they will lose face. Once the authority of the peace conference is shaken,
Even the lining is gone
"Gu Guangsheng, please don't get excited. You can talk about anything. Threats are useless. Of course, quarreling is useless. What we have to do now is to solve this crisis. We both need to take a step back and solve the problem peacefully."
Okay?"
"France will not bow to the kidnappers. The Germans have not conquered France, let alone the Chinese. I have ordered the mobilization of the army. Soon all those shameless gangsters will be shot, and not a single one will be left!"
Lloyd George on the side now knew very well that despite the tough talk of the French, in fact there was no good response strategy to such emergencies. The Paris market is still very chaotic. As early as the Louvre was occupied,
At that time, the French government issued a curfew, but now France is holding large-scale demonstrations, and the streets are full of angry people. Many lawless people have also been inspired by the actions of the Chinese, but the impact on France
Various key departments...
Post offices, banks, theaters, political agencies, warehouses, museums, and ancient buildings are all their targets. Many people even took out gasoline, olive oil and other things. Now it will cost a lot to disperse these troublesome Parisian people.
Time, it’s early if you want to surround the Louvre
Therefore, the old fox Lloyd George also spoke up and gave Clemenceau a step forward: "Dear Chinese diplomats, I think there is nothing that cannot be discussed. The peace conference is not over. China's issues can still be negotiated.
, but the Louvre is the essence of human art. If it is damaged, it will be a provocation to the entire human race. The British Empire will never sit idly by and ignore it. I suggest you let the Chinese demonstrators disperse first and put those dangerous things away.
Remove the belongings, and then we sit down and talk slowly. We have formed a deep friendship during the war, and we will definitely be able to find a way to solve the current predicament!"
While they were discussing, the French military and police finally got rid of the interference of the demonstrators and rushed to the Louvre in large numbers, surrounding the place. The Chinese workers had already poured several barrels of gasoline on the Louvre.
On the ground, as long as the French military and police dare to attack, they will be ignited. At worst, everyone will be destroyed. There are still some people holding simple tools such as wooden sticks in their hands, ready to destroy all the exhibits. In fact, as a mature museum, the Louvre has a great influence on many arts.
The treasures have been properly protected and placed in secret rooms, protected by heavy iron doors. Of course, these cannot be threatened by Zhongcai people, but after all, they cannot compare with the careful thinking of later generations. Among all the exhibits now, there are
Many of them are truly valuable things, such as the broken-arm statue of Venus, the goddess of love, which is placed in the statue hall for tourists to admire. At this time, it has become the best meat ticket and is in danger of being ripped off at any time.
Just when the two sides were at war with each other, Huang Heren, a man in his twenties, stumbled in front of the China Re labor team.
"Compatriots, I am also Chinese. Listen to me and don't do stupid things if you pay 100,000 yuan. This is a temple of art with a history of more than 800 years. It is the common wealth of mankind. Everything is priceless. It is
It is a priceless treasure. You are committing a crime by desecrating the sacred palace. You are committing a crime against all mankind. Get out as soon as possible!"
Zhuang Wenshan temporarily became the leader of the labor team at this time. When he saw this Chinese young man coming in to persuade him, he immediately frowned and came to him. He took a closer look. This young man was very handsome and well-dressed.
He was wearing a suit, shiny leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses, but his forehead was covered with anxious sweat. As soon as he saw Zhuang Wenshan, he knew that he was a leader, and hurriedly said: "This gentleman, as soon as I see you, you are the leader."
Scholars, how can you be like these mud-legged people? Listen to my advice and never play with fire and burn yourself. This is the Western world, a civilized country, not a place where you can run wild. The great powers can control it with just a little finger.
We are all pinched to death, how can you be so confused?"
As soon as Zhuang Wenshan heard this young man lecture him, he felt in a daze that the man in front of him looked like a Westerner except for the skin. How could he not even have a sense of shame? Zhuang Wenshan pointed at the Louvre behind him.
Palace, asked: "Open your eyes and see how many of our things are in here. They burned the Old Summer Palace, eight countries robbed the city of Beijing, and then used all kinds of deception and abduction to keep our ancestors here."
Things have been shipped here, not only China, Egypt, Persia, Iraq and Syria, but almost all the treasures of ancient civilizations have been robbed and exhibited here. Come and tell me when did the bandits' dens become civilized!"
The young man shook his head hastily: "It is indeed what you said, but you must also understand that these works of art belong to all mankind, and those backward countries do not deserve to own these things. Although they were originally placed in China, they were only Lafayette
We have no access to these playthings, and we don’t get real attention. Only when they are placed here can people around the world see them, and only then can Chinese culture be truly promoted!”…
After hearing this, Zhuang Wenshan couldn't bear it anymore and spat a mouthful of phlegm right into his face, "See for yourself, what kind of thing are you still? The Chinese believe that it is better to live in pieces than in ruins. We are determined to die today."
We must let the whole world see the bloody nature of the Chinese people. If there is no justice in the world, then we will be reduced to ashes together with this dirty Louvre!"
At this moment, Clemenceau and the Chinese delegation finally arrived at the scene. Layers of military police surrounded the Louvre. As soon as they got off the car, a pungent smell of gasoline came over.
After passing the news, he was also shocked by the terrible situation at the scene. Now, with just one spark, these tens of thousands of people, together with the largest art treasure house in France, will disappear completely. Clemenceau was immediately frightened and hurriedly ordered all the military and police to retreat.
Twenty steps, and then signaled for Gu Weijun and others to go and persuade the Chinese workers
At this moment, the young man who had been spit on rushed to Gu Weijun and others. He took the initiative to ask the French military police to come to comfort the Chinese workers, but it was unsuccessful. Now he finally saw Chinese officials coming.
Immediately, they came to Gu Weijun and others: "Sir, my name is Xu Zhimo, I am Chinese, but I will never turn my compatriots into barbaric terrorists. This is a crime against world civilization!"
Gu Weijun was a little surprised, and then glared at the Chinese man fiercely, "You don't deserve to say you are Chinese!"
Xu Zhimo's belly suddenly turned red and became extremely ugly. At this time, Gu Weijun suddenly took out a bottle of oil from his document bag and poured it directly on himself. Then he quickly walked to the side of the Chinese workers and saw this
A surprising scene, Clemenceau and others were all dumbfounded. What did these Chinese people want to do?
"Dear politicians in the civilized world, as a Chinese diplomat, I cannot fight for the legitimate rights of the country. I have no face to see my parents and relatives. It is better to turn into smoke and dust together with the Louvre. I now make three points to the Allies.
If we cannot agree to the request, we will immediately set ourselves on fire. First, we will return Shandong power to China, second, we will give up our privileges in China, and third, we will ensure the personal safety of these protesting workers!"
"You are blackmailing and declaring war. Mr. Gu, you have lost your diplomat's sanity. Now you are a madman. Your actions will bring war to your country!"
"War? I don't want war, but if peace cannot bring legitimate power, then there is only war. For the sake of dignity, I believe that my country will not hesitate to fight!"
