The Japanese have sufficient basis for the exchange of black paper and white characters. Nishiyuanji Gong hopes to be reasonable and well-founded, "Everyone, our Japanese Empire's contribution to the Allies is far greater than that of China. We are our brave and fearless Japanese soldiers who have completely expelled Germany's power in the Asia-Pacific Ocean. Of course, I would like to thank the British people led by Mr. Lloyd George for their help in the battle of Qingdao. Now, what I want to say is: Since the central government of China has agreed to transfer the Shandong region to our country, it is legal to choose to accept it."

"However, the representative of China should be notified to make a statement at the afternoon meeting. If it is true as Mr. Nishiyuanji said, then everything will be resolved." "Mr. Good," Wilson said slowly, "Besides, China has a Guangzhou government at present, and the Shandong issue must also be approved by the Guangzhou government, otherwise it will be invalid."

"Very good, let's do it. Wait until the afternoon, let's see what the representative of China said, oh, look at the time, it's almost 12 o'clock, everyone, I'll treat you today!" The host Climonsoon combined his hands, "French feast, authentic French feast, are you interested?"

"Happy!"

Rutti Hotel, China delegation headquarters. Gu Weijun is wearing a Western dress for formal occasions. He meticulously buttoned up his shirt, bow tie, and cufflinks...

A young clerk hurriedly got off the elevator, ran to the door of a room, and knocked on the door quickly. The secretary opened the door, and the clerk urgently reported, "The chief has an order, and he will wear mid-suits today!" "Well, I understand."

The order "The chief called and you will wear a mid-suit today!" was quickly conveyed, and Gu Weijun had to take off his almost-wearing suit and put on his special mid-suit.

Gu Weijun's mood was complicated. Last year, his wife passed away, and Gu Weijun received an appointment as one of the plenipotentiary representatives. The Beijing government appointed a total of five representatives, namely the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, the Southern Government Representative Wang Zhengting, the Minister to the UK Shi Zhaoji, the Minister to Biden Wei Chen Group, and the Minister to the US Gu Weijun. Gu Weijun once wanted to refuse the appointment because of family affairs, but in the end, he decided to go on an envoy for the country. Before his departure, Gu Weijun made a special visit to US President Wilson. Wilson promised to support and help the country, which gave Gu Weijun a greater confidence and expectation for the upcoming peace meeting.

However, the so-called greater hope and greater disappointment. As soon as we arrived in Paris, the delegation encountered the first blow - the issue of seats in the Peace Conference. Each country was divided into third-class, and the six first-class countries, Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Italy and Japan could have 5 seats, some other countries had 3 seats, some newly established and new countries had 2 seats, and China was classified as the last, and there could only be two seats. European and American powers still regarded China very lowly. However, according to regulations, although there were only two seats, five representatives could take turns to attend.

Therefore, the issue of choosing two for five is placed before the representative of China. Wang Zhengting, the representative of the Southern Government, requested a seat, but was rejected by the Beijing government, which intensified the contradiction between the northern and southern governments of China and also stimulated discord within the delegation.

Today, April 10th is a critical day. China is preparing to raise the issue of revoking Shandong's rights to the Peace Conference, but before there was time, Japan took the lead in proposing at the meeting of the six major countries that Germany's rights and interests in Shandong should be directly inherited by Japan. The conference notified the representatives of China to make statements at the afternoon meeting. It was noon when the delegation received the notice. This was another bolt from the blue for the delegation of China! "Are you ready? Weijun." asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang.

"Well, okay. Mr. Chief, you can leave."

"I want to squeeze Germany dry like I squeeze orange juice!" An old and sharp voice, in the French Prime Minister's residence, in the conference room, Crimontso waved his arms and expressed his attitude to his colleagues, "The punishment for Germany must be severe. I think it is necessary to block the German coastline and control Germany's foreign trade! Only in this way can the Germans be strangled to death!"

Everyone laughed knowingly, and then there was a warm applause. Crimonso took the tissue and wiped the sweat. He was very satisfied with his speech. At this time, an official walked into the venue, quietly whispered to Crimonso, nodded, and Crimonso whispered, "Tell them that I am in a meeting and let them wait for an hour!"

An hour later, "Dear Mr. Lu, we meet again. Asian affairs have caused me a headache. The North Koreans have been waiting outside, and I don't know how to reply to them. Please sit down..." Krimengsuo felt a little surprised and looked at Gu Weijun carefully and smiled, "You are Mr. Gu Weijun, ambassador to the United States. Mr. Wilson often mentions you, saying that you are a very talented young man. Now it seems that he is indeed a handsome talent."

"Thank you for your praise!" Fluent French blurted out, and Crimontseau admired the young man even more.

Crimson strode into the hall, walked straight to his seat, sat down, pretended to be very relaxed, made a gesture, and looked at Gu Weijun, "Please sit down. Okay, can we talk about the serious matter now?"

Everyone sat down separately, only Gu Weijun stood alone. Everyone looked at Gu Weijun, confused. Krimengsuo leaned against his seat, squinted his eyes, looked at Gu Weijun carefully for a long time, and finally said, "Young man, please sit down."

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister, I can't sit..."

"Why, young people?"

"During the war, your country, Britain and the Russian government assured our country that if our country participates in the war, it will be treated as a major power after the war is over. Our country should obtain five seats. However, the Peace Association notified us that China can only obtain two seats. I am the fifth representative and I have no right to sit down." Gu Weijun answered slowly.

Shrugged, Crimonso was a little embarrassed.

Lu Zhengxiang understood Gu Weijun's intention, he stood up and stood beside Gu Weijun. Then, the other three representatives of the plenipotentiary of China also stood up one after another.

Faced with such a scene, Crimonso could only smile awkwardly. Gu Weijun opened the bag in his hand, walked to Crimonso, and handed him a document. Crimonso didn't want to accept the document at first, but he still took it and looked it up. Soon, Crimonso closed the document, and he seemed a little restless and stood up.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you have just seen it. Your country's ambassador to Beijing has further confirmed this promise in the form of a note, so......"

"France has always supported China, and we are always friends of the Chinese people. France has always advocated that your country has five seats, but France's support alone is not enough. We have made the best efforts..." Crimsono sat down subconsciously, but he stood up uneasily, saying, "Japan's attitude is very tough, and they don't even want your country to attend the Peace Conference. As the Peace Conference president, I must take into account the opinions and interests of most countries. By the way, young people, at 3 pm this afternoon, your country needs to attend the Peace Conference to discuss your country's Shandong issue. I hope you are ready. Okay, everyone, I still have something to do, I am lost!" After saying that, Crimsono and his accompanying officials hurriedly left.
