The journey starts from the Titanic

"Master, is it really not Shandong province?" Lin Yimin said worriedly, looking at Situ Nan expectantly, hoping this omnipotent young master could do anything.

"It's a bit difficult! You know everything."

Situ Nan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't be discouraged. A momentary failure is nothing. What will be the future? Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Our nation may have to experience a long period of darkness, but it is still Will stand up.

Look at the angry people outside. You are thinking about the situation in China and comparing it to Li Hongzhang's period, you will know that the current situation is different from the original, because there is something more-awakening!"

Although Situ Nan said this, he couldn't help but feel angry when thinking about the "history" in the future.It would be okay if he stayed in Los Angeles obediently, not seeing and not bothering, but now he is in France, experiencing this shame together, it is inevitable that he will be depressed.

"That person is Gu Weijun?" Situ Nan raised his binoculars and asked when he saw a handsome young man wearing a formal dress.

"Yes." Lin Yimin replied. He had previously received information about the Chinese diplomatic mission from the French branch of the Nanyang Foundation, and would naturally understand Gu Weijun, the most outstanding diplomat among them.

However, seeing Gu Weijun frowning and looking serious, Lin Yimin thought to himself: Things don't seem to be going well.

At this time, another group of representatives of Asian faces came out. They were wearing tuxedos, each of them a little short and a bit funny, but they looked very proud.

"Needless to say, that Japanese is Baron Makino?" Situ Nan asked, watching Makino triumphantly walking past the demonstrations, he had his wretched Rendan beard knocked out with an iron hammer.

"That's right! It's him! I heard that he made a fool of Gu Weijun at the meeting a few days ago, and the Paris newspapers appeared." Lin Yimin sneered.

More and more Chinese laborers and Chinese intellectuals gathered outside Versailles, demonstrations became more and more intense, and the police in Paris were also dispatched to confront the protesters.

"Let's go! Keep up with that carriage!" Situ Nan told the driver to chase Gu Weijun's carriage.

carriage?Yes!It's a carriage!In the era when cars were not popular, even in the streets of Paris, there were running horse-drawn carriages everywhere, but Situ Nan's car looked more outstanding.

Gu Weijun was sitting in the carriage, frowning. The Paris peace meeting was not going well at the beginning. The five diplomatic representatives and he himself were under tremendous pressure.

This is the first time since the Opium War that China has attended the Peace Conference as a victorious country. This is a huge boost to people's sentiments. Now all Chinese people are looking forward to the Paris Peace Conference.But the situation is much more complicated by my own imagination.

He suddenly remembered Mu Xianming, a good friend who suddenly ran over from New York to deliver sulfa to his wife at the end of last year.Thanks to his reminder and help, I have collected a large number of Chinese workers on the battlefield fighting against the Germans, which strongly refutes the Japanese view that "China has not sent a single soldier."

Gu Weijun also remembered that the Chinese diplomatic delegation from Beijing lost the diplomatic file box with a code lock when passing through Japan. This was not only an oversight, but also a conspiracy.(Indeed, this incident is called the disappearance of the Chinese file box.) "The Japanese are really shameless! This era is the era of shameless villains! ... Weak countries have no diplomacy! Imperialism is the same!" Gu Weijun sighed. Dao, but thinking of his responsibilities, he immediately strengthened his confidence-weak countries have no diplomacy, but weak countries have a strong spirit of resistance and unyielding fighting spirit!

"Call..."

At this time, the coachman made a long drink, and the carriage stopped suddenly, interrupting Gu Weijun's thoughts.

Gu Weijun stretched his head and looked out, showing that the car was chasing up and stopped by the carriage.A young face stuck out from the car window and smiled, "Hello! Mr. Wu!"

"you are?"

Gu Weijun didn't know the person in the car, and listened to the other party's Chinese with a Cantonese accent. He should be a Chinese compatriot.

Maybe the background is not small. There are really not many people who can make such expensive cars in Paris, let alone a yellow face.What is he looking for himself?Gu Weijun thought.

"My last name is Lin and my name is Lin Yimin. Although you don't know me, I know you. Let's talk about some important things!" Lin Yimin smiled.

Seeing Gu Weijun's suspicious expression, he continued: "About China's diplomacy. I'm not a bad guy! I just want to help you a little bit."

After Lin Yimin said, he stuffed Gu Weijun a note with a line of address on it.

Gu Weijun looked at it, not far away, it was nearby.

Chapter 16 Interview with Gu Weijun in Europe

When Gu Weijun followed the address on the note to a villa in downtown Paris, Lin Yimin greeted him at the door early.

"Mr. Gu, welcome! Please come with me! Master see you in the living room!" Lin Yimin said enthusiastically.

"Young master? Didn't you find me Mr. Lin?" Gu Weijun said a little displeased, frowned slightly. After all, as China's diplomatic ambassador, he can directly meet the heads of various countries, which can be said to be noble.

But the young man in front of him and this strange villa had an unspeakable mystery, which made Gu Weijun feel awkward.

"Haha. I'm looking for you, but it's our young master who wants to talk to you, oh, it's my boss! Our young master's identity is a bit inconvenient, please forgive me!" Lin Yimin explained.

Before Gu Weijun approached the living room, he heard a loud piano sound.Because of his back, Gu Weijun saw a slender and elegant back sitting in front of the piano, and as the man struck hard, the piano clanked, and there seemed to be a thousand horses running, which made people excited and excited.

Under Lin Yimin's careful greeting, Gu Weijun sat aside and listened quietly.As an intimate person, Gu Weijun naturally understands the piano. From the exciting sound of the piano, he understands the passion in the hearts of Dao players, which resonates with Gu Weijun.

Come on!

The young man turned around, excitedly vented and looked at Gu Weijun with a smile.

Until many years later, Gu Weijun still remembered the scene when he met Situ Nan-it was a heroic face, which had the three-dimensional sense of the Western lines and the reserved, deep eyes of the Orientals, slightly raised. The raised lips always have a Ruoruuowu smile.

It made people feel contradictory and curious, Gu Weijun asked a big question mark in his heart?He suddenly seemed to know everything about this mysterious young man.

"Hello! Mr. Gu, this is Situ Nan!" Situ Nan walked over and enthusiastically reached out to Gu Weijun.

While Gu Weijun was looking at Situ Nan, Situ Nan was also looking at the opponent.

The star-eyed sword eyebrows, the eyes are embarrassing and divine, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, with a sense of elegance while showing off its sharp edge, plus a touch of worry. Whether it's prosperous or charming, this Republic’s first diplomat is really Nothing said!Situ Nan sighed inwardly.

"Hello! Mr. Situ, take the liberty to ask, what was the name of the song just now?" Gu Weijun asked impatiently.

"Yellow River!"

"Yellow River?" Gu Weijun's eyes lit up, recalling the melody just now, he felt the rushing Yellow River roaring towards him.

"What a Yellow River!" Gu Weijun sighed, "With this song, it won't come in vain today. Can Mr. Situ lend me the score?"

"Extremely happy!" On a whim after returning from the Palace of Versailles, Situ Nan played a section of "Ode to the Yellow River".

The soulmates met. Although the two met for the first time, they had a good feeling for each other and felt a little bit of sympathy.

Thinking of sitting in front of him is the most outstanding diplomat of the Republic of China, Situ Nan couldn’t help but praised: “I’ve heard of Mr. Gu’s demeanor. I’ve been arguing with Baron Makino. It's admirable, your vigor and vitality has greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese people!"

"Excessive praise. Mr. Situ! Hey, this thought is embarrassing!" Gu Weijun sighed softly, thinking of praising Situ Nan, but couldn't find the word for a while, and realized that he didn't understand Situ Nan at all.

"Well, Mr. Situ, what can I do for you?" Gu Weijun asked directly.

"Introduce myself. My name is Situ Nan, my ancestral home is in Taishan, Guangdong Province. I am currently doing business in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I am quite wealthy. I know some upper-class people in the United States. I heard that your diplomatic mission is facing great difficulties. What can I do to help?" Situ Nan said.

"Mr. Situ has a heart! Diplomacy is about the national affairs and the destiny of the nation, and it cannot be determined by ordinary people." Gu Weijun sighed.He has a deep understanding of this.

It's not for you to decide.He added something in his heart.In fact, he does not think that Situ Nan has any monstrous ability to reverse the unfavorable situation of China's diplomacy.

"It's true." Situ Nan nodded, and said again: "But I always get a lot of strength to avoid regret."

Knowing that Gu Weijun doesn’t believe in himself very much, Situ Nan felt that it was necessary for the other party to see his own strength. He added, “Mr. Gu, there is no proof! Maybe you don’t know yet. As far as I know, the US diplomatic mission is in Shandong, China. There are serious differences on the issue. The Minister to China Reenshi and Secretary of State Lansing insisted on anti-China, and they have fallen out with Wilson.

Even in the United States, the Senate and the House of Representatives have different voices, and many lawmakers are very dissatisfied with Wilson's actions.On the Shandong issue, American progressives believe that Wilson's compromise with Japan has completely deviated from the 14-point principle he put forward, so there will be criticisms."

Situ Nan said solemnly.

His words made Gu Weijun's eyes shine bright. He has been in the United States for many years. He is a graduate of Columbia University. He naturally knows the national conditions of the United States. He just focused on the Paris Peace Conference and was entangled in affairs.
