The journey starts from the Titanic

Seeing Gu Weijun knowing, Situ Nan smiled slightly, and said: "Wait and see! Next, there will be voices in the United States that are beneficial to China. Maybe it will make Wilson feel pressured."

Gu Weijun looked at Situ Nan's confident smile, half-trusted, but he didn't refute, just listened quietly.Although he doesn't know if it will happen by chance, he is sure that the other party has a heart of innocence and is sincere.

Situ Nan and Gu Weijun chatted quite speculatively. Lin Yimin interrupted from time to time. The three of them have the same American background, so they reached consensus on many issues.

The more he came into contact with Situ Nan, Gu Weijun realized that he did not understand Situ Nan. This young man speaks standard Beijing Mandarin, knows all parts of the world well, and has unique views on the situation in various countries. Many problems are more obvious than he pretends to be an international expert. More accurate and transparent.

What kind of family background and what kind of education do you cultivate such talents?What kind of person is he?These questions linger in Gu Weijun's mind.

"Mr. Situ is a great talent. He has more knowledge and quick thinking. It would be a waste not to be a diplomat." Gu Weijun regretted.

"Mr. Gu joked. I, it's better to be a comfortable businessman, not to worry about so much. Sometimes, you can see through some things, but you may not be able to do it. The country still depends on Mr. Gu. I'm worried a lot." Situ Nan smiled faintly.

Gu Weijun was about to say something, this was a beautiful white woman in her 20s who came in outside.What surprised Gu Weijun was that the woman could actually say in Chinese: "Darling, are you here? It seems that I have to worry about dinner tonight!"

"This is my wife, Laura. This is Mr. Gu Weijun, Chinese Ambassador to the United States. He is a PhD from Columbia University." Situ Nan introduced.

"Hello! Dr. Gu, you are handsome and charming. The women in Paris are discussing you!" Laura laughed.

"Hello, madam. You are also very beautiful and generous!" Gu Weijun praised.Looking at the bright and noble Laura, he somewhat understood why Lin Yimin would say that Situ Nan was inconvenient to come forward before entering.

Situ Nan looked at his watch, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and said to Laura: "My dear, let's prepare dinner! When there are more guests coming, let's make a French meal!"

After Laura left, Situ Nan turned his head and said to Gu Weijun: "Sorry, I forgot the time just now. I didn't expect that we fell in love with us and talked so much. Originally, I had an appointment with an official of the consulate tonight. It happened to be Mr. Gu. It's here, let's dine together!"

"Can you tell me which guest it is?" Gu Weijun asked.

Situ Nan smiled mysteriously and whispered: "It's the Secretary of State Robert Lansing I mentioned to you. You can talk to him later."

"What?" Gu Weijun was surprised!The person who can invite the Secretary of State is not an ordinary person. Although he has met with Lansing several times as an official, his personal relationship can never reach this level. Gu Weijun could not help but silently calculate how big Situ Nan is. The ability to make the Secretary of State appreciate his face.

Situ Nan didn't explain anything. In fact, he also met Lansing. He had a fate at the American consulate banquet the other day. It was introduced by Morgan at the time, but Situ Nan secretly remembered Lansing.

Lansing arrived as expected, and there was a young man with him.

"Hi! Stoneney! Hi, Laura!" Lansing walked over enthusiastically and hugged Situ Nan, and ate Laura's tofu.

After seeing Gu Weijun, Lansing was a little surprised, but he greeted warmly: "Mr. Gu, you are here, what a coincidence!"

After saying that Lansing scanned Situ Nan indifferently, and found that Situ Nan didn't have any expressions, he introduced the young man who came with him and said: "Alan Dulles, my nephew."

"Alan Dulles?" Situ Nan said the name in his heart, and asked casually: "Do you have another brother named John Dulles?"

"Yeah! How did you know? You know my brother?" Alan Dulles asked.

Damn, it's the Dulles brothers!

Situ Nan was surprised and couldn't help but widen his eyes to look at Alan Dulles curiously, but he immediately felt a little rude, and smiled again: "I don't know. But I heard that a pair of young and outstanding members of the US delegation The Dulles brothers. The younger brother Alan Dulles is a child prodigy, known as the "Mozart of the intelligence world," and his brother John Dulles is also a faceless rising star in the American diplomatic world. Am I right? "

"Thank you. But I am not as good as you said." Alan Dulles was embarrassed.

Before the war, he had a premonition that the war broke out and left the Seine to teach in a rural middle school in France, and later went to China and Japan.When sent by the US government to Vienna, he participated in the secret work of separating Austria from Germany and established an intelligence station in Switzerland to monitor the Balkans.Being able to attend the Paris Peace Conference as a representative consultant for the United States is a kind of affirmation for Alan Dulles, but it can only be said to be a good intelligence officer, not as genius as Situ Nan said.

This was just what Alan Dulles thought. He didn't know that Situ Nan knew him better than he himself.

"Alan, you are a genius, I'm sure! You will definitely accomplish extraordinary things in the future! Maybe you are the king of spies or something! Mr. Lansing, do you think so?" Situ Nan turned to Lansing.

"Yes. Allen is a good kid." Lansing nodded, and glanced at his nephew appreciatively, feeling a little proud. Being able to befriend a rich man like Situ Nan is a thing for both Lansing and the Dulles family. Good thing.

Situ Nan glanced at Alan Dulles, eh?That kid turned red?

Chapter 17: Dulles and Wang Geng in Europe

After some greetings, dinner began.The exquisite food made the guests and hosts happy. Everyone chatted at the table, talking about international events, talking about the economy of New York, talking about art and even women in Paris.

Alan Dulles had a reserved smile on his face. Compared with Situ Nan and the others, he is now just a small character.

During the banquet, Situ Nan couldn't help being curious. He observed Alan Dulles from time to time, and felt that Alan Dulles was a little tender.

Alan Dulles also felt that Situ Nan's eyes looked weird. He vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be interested in him, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.

While chatting, I can't help but talk about the Shandong issue.Basically, Lansing and Gu Weijun were discussing, Situ Nan and Dulles sat aside wittily, without interrupting.

Here, the diplomatic ambassadors of China and the United States had informal contacts. Gu Weijun reiterated the view that Shandong belongs to China. He asked the United States to put pressure on Japan and implied that if the United States cannot stop the Japanese ambitions, then China will No longer trust Western countries, and the diplomatic achievements of the United States in China before this will be wiped out.

However, Lansing has always maintained a faint smile, noncommittal, but he is helpless. He agrees with Gu Weijun's words, but as Secretary of State, he must be consistent with President Wilson on the outside, even if the door is closed and the two are quarreling. .

What can he say?He could only listen quietly with a faint smile.Lansing's attitude disappointed Gu Weijun. He looked at Situ Nan, but Situ Nan was also helpless.

Situ Nan didn't want to stay and endure the repressed atmosphere, so he found an excuse to leave, gave the room to Gu Weijun and Lansing, and let the two diplomats display their eloquence, wisdom and intrigue.

After a while, maybe Gu Weijun and Lansing have something confidential to discuss, and Alan Dulles also came out.

Relatively speaking, Situ Nan is more interested in Alan Dulles.

After seeing Alan Dulles coming out, Situ Nan asked: "Mr. Dulles, what do you think of the current Paris Peace Conference?"

"We have shown the strength of the United States, but European powers are more adept in international affairs. The internal situation is very complicated. We must understand more and analyze carefully to get more accurate conclusions." Alan Dulles replied.

But I thought in my heart that compared with the intelligence agencies in Europe, the intelligence agencies in the United States are more than one block away. Those congressmen who had no troubles could not wait to disband the intelligence agencies at the beginning of the war, let alone allow the government to establish a powerful intelligence agency. .

Now there is no professional intelligence agency in the United States. The domestic Bureau of Investigation (the predecessor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation) is just a small, humble investigative agency to combat smuggling crimes. It is not an intelligence agency at all. Compared with the British MI5, the investigation The bureau is not even a pupil.

The United States lacks investment in intelligence work, which is frustrating for Allen Dulles, who has already developed an interest in intelligence work.

Alan Dulles seems to be dissatisfied with White House diplomacy?Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Allen, do you think the diplomacy of the White House should be more pragmatic?" Situ Nan asked with a smile.

"Ha, diplomacy should always be pragmatic, isn't it?" Alan Dulles complained a little and then stalled.As a professional diplomat, Alan Dulles is inconvenient to discuss too much work with Situ Nan.

But they finally found a common topic, that is, the expansion of American fruit companies in Latin America.

"Mr. William, I heard that you opened a BP Fruit Company?" Alan Dulles asked.

"Yes. Why are you interested in fruit companies?" Situ Nan replied.

"A little bit. I think we will move more freely in Latin America. The fruit company is a very meaningful project. I think it would be nice to work in a fruit company if we no longer serve the government in the future." Alan Durer Si tentatively said.

A pair of squinted glasses looked at Situ Nan quietly through the thin lenses.

"I think it will be a great thing if BP Fruits can get an elite with rich diplomatic experience like Allen to join." Of course, Situ Nan wanted it.When he hinted at the treatment of the fruit company, Alan Dulles was already interested.

"William's generosity is moving, but unfortunately I still have to do something to prepare for this Paris Peace Conference. Otherwise, it would be nice to be a free businessman like Mr. William." Alan Du Luss pretended to be regretful.

Situ Nan smiled, thinking that you would have said this a long time ago. For a spy genius, no matter how successful a businessman is, there is no more sense of accomplishment than to cross the world?

"Businessmen also have their plights, and they are busy with caress every day. I would like to be like you, taking advantage of your youth to go all over the world to see." Situ Nan said with some emotion.
