"Save some face for the Wa country and negotiate peace with them. Let the Wa country withdraw from the war decently, but not let them get too many benefits." Zhao Shouhong said: "The negotiations between the two sides are very difficult and need real masters to conduct Sure. Sun Baoqi can take on one party's negotiation, but if two parties are to negotiate, a master is needed to carry it out."

Zhao Shouhong didn't have many diplomats in his hands, and he needed to work on both sides at this time, so he was really scratching his head.

"Maybe I can recommend one," Sun Baoqi said.

Zhao Shouhong's eyes lit up: "That's great, let's hear it."

"Gu Weijun." Sun Baoqi said: "This person was originally Yuan Wei's Salvin secretary, and later joined Cao Rulin's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a staunch patriot and hates traitorous behavior. After seeing Yuan Wei's ambition to become emperor , he was disheartened and wanted to resign and go back to his hometown. After being introduced by Zhang Zongxiang and Cao Rulin, he came to our special zone to work. I think this young man is very talented, so I keep him by my side, and it is just right for him now.” Then Sun Baoqi repeated Gu Weijun's dissatisfaction with Yuan Wei, and Gu Weijun's words after he asked Yuan Wei for conditions last time.

6 Chapter Fifty

Everyone nodded repeatedly, but Zhao Shouhong didn't listen to a word, because he was already attracted by Gu Weijun's name.Others didn't know about Gu Weijun's background, but Zhao Shouhong knew it all.

Gu Weijun, a native of Jiading County, Jiangbei Province, was an outstanding diplomat in the history of Hualan.Born in Gwanghae in 1888, he entered a private school at the age of four, and later entered the Chinese and Western Academy run by the Christian Church. In 1901, he was admitted to Gwanghae St. John's College.

In 1904, at his own expense, Gu Weijun accompanied Shi Zhaoji’s Central Plains Provincial Official Feisheng to study in White Eagle Country. He entered Cook College in New York State to study Saar language. In the second year, he was admitted to Columbia University, majoring in international law and diplomacy. Earn bachelor's and master's degrees.

It is precisely because of this resume that Gu Weijun was able to serve as Yuan Kai's English secretary in 1912, and later transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.During his work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he deeply felt Yuan Kai's ambition and groveling towards foreigners, all of which made him very distressed.At this time, Zhang Zongxiang and Cao Rulin, who had always valued him highly, recommended the Western Special Zone to him.

Since he and Zhao Shouhong went to the Saar embassy together, Zhang Zongxiang was heartbroken by the other party's attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing, and his aura of not being afraid of foreigners.If it weren't for the kindness he received from Yuan Kai, Zhang Zongxiang would have planned to abandon his official position and go to Zhao Shouhong.

Under the instigation of the two seniors, Gu Weijun finally decided to abandon his official position and go to the Western Special Zone alone to find a job.After entering the special zone, the prosperous industry and commerce here, the perfect social welfare system, and the joyful enthusiasm of the people all infected him and made him see the hope of Hualan's future.

Enthusiastic, Gu Weijun found Sun Baoqi, who had a relationship with him, and recommended himself to work in the government.Sun Baoqi also valued this outstanding young man very much. After obtaining the consent of the government prime minister Xie Chi, Gu Weijun finally entered the government.It's just because the authority of the Western Special Administrative Region does not have diplomatic authority, so he is not working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but for the Li Fan Department, which is somewhat deceitful.

On the surface, the Li Fan Department is used to coordinate and communicate with the various ethnic minorities in the special zone. In fact, this is the diplomatic agency of the western special zone, responsible for all foreign affairs.The efficient and clean work style of the Western Special Zone, as well as generous benefits, made Gu Weijun stay at ease.He seemed to have found the ideal he had been pursuing, and devoted himself to his work with great enthusiasm.

On this day, Gu Weijun, as usual, took a trolleybus to the office building of the Ministry of Li Fan next to the government building in Shudu.As soon as he came in, someone greeted him with a happy face, and at the same time said congratulations to him.Gu Weijun was a little confused, so he had no choice but to verbally deal with everyone who wished well, while striding towards the office.

When passing by Sun Baoqi's office, Gu Weijun had an idea and quickly knocked on the door. "Please come in, the door is unlocked." A deep voice came from the office, it was Sun Baoqi's words.

Gu Weijun pushed the door open, and he saw Sun Baoqi who was writing something with his head bowed at the first sight.Gu Weijun walked to the table and said, "Minister Sun, do you want to find me? Everyone outside said congratulations to me. I don't know what they are congratulating me for?"

"These bastards talk too fast." Sun Baoqi cursed with a smile and stopped what he was doing.But Sun Baoqi is obviously not angry because of this: "They know the news of your upcoming promotion, so congratulate you in advance."

"I want to be promoted?" Gu Weijun's eyes widened in surprise: "I have only been in the Lifan Department for a month, and I am promoted in such a short time? Someone will gossip."

Sun Baoqi smiled slightly: "You still don't understand the style of the SAR government. Here we only ask about ability and not seniority. You have such ability, as long as you are recognized, you can be promoted quickly. Look at the military No. .1 Pan Wenhua, he is not inferior to Wu Ziyu, he is also working very well."

Gu Weijun nodded thoughtfully, he also very much approves of this way of employing people.In this way, everyone will work hard, and they will never slack off because of their merits and seniority.It's just that the relationship between superiors and subordinates seems to be a little tense, but now that Hualan is under a lot of external pressure, and Hualan Vanguard Party is acting as a mediator, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Your first task in office is to lead the team to conduct peace negotiations." Sun Baoqi's words once again surprised Gu Weijun.

"Western SAR has no diplomatic power, how can we negotiate?" Gu Weijun asked in surprise.

"Now that the central government is in chaos and Lao Yuan is about to fall, how are they going to hold peace talks?" Sun Baoqi spread his hands and said, "Now the country needs a stable environment for development, and although the Japanese war against us has basically failed, but Their national strength is stronger than ours, and they can still persist. This kind of war will last for a long time, and it will not benefit both parties. It is better to choose to end the war now."

Gu Weijun nodded and said: "But with you as the minister here, it seems inappropriate for me to lead the team."

Sun Baoqi shook his head and said: "Now we are at war with both sides of the Uro. According to the governor's intention, they must not be allowed to negotiate with us, so that we will be very passive. So the government decided to divide and conquer. You and I will lead a team separately to fight with us. The two sides of the Uro are negotiating a truce. The governor has sent a mediation note to the Saar and White Eagles, hoping that they can mediate from it. The two countries have agreed, and we will negotiate in Yekaterinburg and Mingjing respectively."

"Alright, then where should I go?" Gu Weijun nodded, although he felt that the burden was heavy, but if he could do something for the country, he was still very willing.

"Tomorrow you will bring a delegation to Mingjing City, and I will hand over our negotiation plan to you. As for what kind of benefits you can win for the special zone, it depends on your ability." Sun Baoqi smiled all over his face. Looking at this young man with high spirits, he was very relieved.

Negotiating directly with Woluo is unreasonable, and Zhao Shouhong will naturally not make such a low-level mistake, allowing Yuan Wei to find an excuse to attack himself.For this reason, Zhao Shouhong sent a telegram to Yuan Kai, hoping that the central government would send diplomats to negotiate a ceasefire with the Japanese and Japanese SAR government representatives.

At this time, Yuan Kai had already been beaten badly by Cai Songpo, so he was not in the mood to care about these things.But this is Zhao Shouhong's request, and now he is even more afraid to offend this powerful figure in the country.Anyway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had nothing to do, so he immediately ordered Zhang Zongxiang and Cao Rulin to go to Yekaterinburg and Mingjing respectively to participate in the peace talks as representatives of the central government.

Chapter 651 Winning and Talking

For these two peace talks, Yuan Wei still has a glimmer of hope.The war led by Zhao Shouhong has already won a lot of victories, and it is natural that he can take the lead in diplomacy.If he wins this foreign negotiation, he can even improve his reputation and suppress the forces of the National Defense Army in the south.

The central government cooperated very well in dispatching representatives. After meeting with the SAR delegation, they came to the negotiation site.The country of Wa is arguing fiercely over whether it is war or peace. Although the government has promised to send mediators from the White Eagle Kingdom, it will definitely send a delegation, but the issue of candidates has not yet been settled.It is precisely because of the fierce game between the forces of all parties that it will take some time for Wa to send a delegation.

Compared with the Wa country, the people of Raksha country are much more active.After the May Revolution, the royal regime of the Raksha Kingdom was overthrown, and a provisional bourgeois government was established immediately. At the same time, the Hongluo regime, which represented the masses at the bottom, was also established, and the Raksha Kingdom entered the era of dual governments.

The bourgeois government of the Raksha Kingdom and the Hongluo government coexist, and the constraints on each other are very serious.Neither party dares to take too drastic actions, and both parties must negotiate to resolve everything, but the perspectives of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are different, and the two sides are always arguing fiercely over trivial matters.This kind of situation happens all the time, so that both sides are tired of it, and finally they have to choose to maintain the status quo.

Taxes are carried out as usual everywhere, and the war against the Allies and Hualan is also carried out as usual.Everything remains the same, the sufferings of the general public have not been alleviated, and the resistance of the people is growing.At this time, the best way to calm the people's sentiments is to end the war.

At this time, the situation of the Raksha Kingdom in the Eastern Continent was already very dangerous. The Far Eastern Military Region was completely isolated and lost all contact with the Western Continent.The army of the Western Special Zone occupied more than half of Northern Lia and the Ural region, and the troops advancing south fully occupied the steppe governor's district and the Turkestan governor's district in the middle continent, and eliminated the Khiva Khanate and the vassals and Rakshasa Khanate of Bukhara.The army has been fighting to the east coast of the Caspian Sea and the border of the Persian Empire, only more than 400 kilometers away from its capital Tehran.

This crushing defeat made the Raksha Kingdom more serious threat from the east than the Teutonic Kingdom in the west.At this time, Hualan's intention to negotiate peace through the United Kingdom and the United States gave the two governments of Rakshasa an amnesty, and they naturally responded positively to this.

Soon the two governments of the Raksha State sent a negotiating delegation led by the foreign minister of the bourgeois government Miliukov, with the representative of the Red Luo government Kamenev as the deputy head. The representatives of the government and the Hong Luo government were exactly divided.

The Russian delegation hurried to Yekaterinburg, even half a day earlier than the Chinese delegation led by Sun Baoqi.The next day, the two sides held a meeting in the Yekaterinburg branch building of Hualuo Daosheng Bank. Song Zheyuan, the top local garrison officer, also attended as a military representative.

The eastern part of Yekaterinburg belongs to the factory area, where there are many factories, and there are not many meeting rooms available.The West District has become devastated due to the baptism of war, and this bank building used for negotiations is the most complete building.The bank was closed when Yekaterinburg was captured, so this is the most suitable place for negotiations.The two parties can not only borrow the conference room of the building to negotiate, but also live here nearby.

Lawrence, the commercial representative of the White Eagle State in the Raksha State, became the intermediary for this meeting. During the meeting, he first found Zhang Zongxiang and Sun Baoqi, the heads of the Hualan delegation. "I am here this time hoping to inform your country of our government's thoughts, and hope to reach an understanding." Lawrence spoke very politely to the two of them.

As the most powerful opponent in the Eastern Ocean, the White Eagle Country has always had great hostility towards the Raksha Country.Later, after the Woluo War, because of the victory of the Wa Kingdom, the attention of the White Eagle Kingdom turned to the Wa Kingdom. During these processes, Hualan was always regarded as their natural ally.It is precisely because of this situation that White Eagle Country always favors Hualan intentionally or unintentionally in diplomacy.

"Mr. Lawrence, please tell me that we are always very interested in the suggestions of friends from the White Eagle Kingdom." The so-called reaching out does not hit the smiling person, not to mention that the White Eagle Kingdom exists as a middleman, and gaining his favor is very important for negotiations.It is for this reason that Zhang Zongxiang is very polite to him.

Lawrence nodded and said: "We are very clear that this war was initiated by the Raksha country. It is for this reason that the Allied Powers refused to fulfill the covenant and followed the Raksha country to declare war on Hualan. Regarding this matter, our country The government is very sympathetic to Hualan, and we have always supported the neutral attitude of other countries in the Allied Powers on this matter."

Having said that, Lawrence changed the subject: "However, the Rakshasa Emperor who started the war has been abolished, and a new government has just been established. For the great cause of the Allied Powers, the new government has decided to continue fighting against the evil Allied Powers. This is for the peace of mankind. The great cause of China should not be disturbed needlessly, so I think you should make some concessions so that peace can come as soon as possible."

Lawrence's words are very clear, the White Eagle Country does not want the power of the Allied Powers to be weakened.From this point of view, the White Eagle Nation, as a neutral country, has completely favored the Allied Powers.But it's no wonder that it has been two years since the war started, and the White Eagle Kingdom sold a large amount of supplies to the Saar Kingdom, and even bought a lot of war loans.

The White Eagle Kingdom originally bought loans to make money, but now it was tied up by the Sa'er Kingdom, and it was a bit difficult to get off the tiger.As a war loan, once the Saar Kingdom fails in the war, these loans should be able to default.In order not to infringe upon its own interests, the White Eagle Kingdom naturally supports the Allied Powers.

"Mr. Lawrence asked us to make concessions before the peace talks between Hua and Luo, which is a bit bullying." Sun Baoqi who was next to him said suddenly.Although Zhang Zongxiang is the head of the current delegation on the surface, the actual host is Sun Baoqi.Who made the war against Rakshasa be fought by the Western Special Zone itself, and has nothing to do with the Central Northern Territory Army.Now that Yuan Kai is in danger of protecting himself, he doesn't care about who will take the lead in the negotiation.

"I don't want you to make concessions blindly, but I just hope that the Hualan government can treat the peace talks rationally and don't come up with unrealistic ideas." Lawrence quickly explained: "I always think that the Raksha Kingdom has invaded Hualan for a long time and has embezzled Your country has a large amount of territory, which must be recovered. I just hope that in addition to recovering the territory, your country will not ask too much for compensation, so that the Raksha country will lose its ability to fight. "

Chapter 652 The Worries of the White Eagle Kingdom

"Of course there is no problem with this. Our Hualan is the most reasonable nation. Although we paid a huge price for this battle, we are not greedy. As long as we can recover the occupied territory, we don't need much compensation from the Raksha Nation." Sun Baoqi said with a smile.

"In this case, I am relieved. I thank the Hualan delegation for their generosity and selflessness, and their outstanding contribution to the cause of human peace." Lawrence said with a smile: "The White Eagle government will do what it can to give Hualan Lan some necessary compensation. Our government also wishes to pay tribute to your government, whether we can discuss the issue of Hualan joining the Allied Powers and declaring war on Teutonic Austria-Hungary."

"This..." Zhang Zongxiang was taken aback. Obviously, the great victory in the Japanese war made the Allied Powers take a fancy to the fighting power of the Hualan army.If these go to the western continent to fight, they will surely be able to withstand the Teutonic offensive.But Zhang Zongxiang knew his own family affairs, and the Northern Territory Army did not have such a strong combat effectiveness. If he wanted to send out a truly elite army, it would depend on Zhao Shouhong's face.

When Sun Baoqi saw Zhang Zongxiang looking over, he naturally knew what Zhang Zongxiang was thinking.Sun Baoqi just nodded and said: "We will consider this, but we don't have the authority to do so. We need to report to our superiors after we go back."

"Okay, I am looking forward to your government's decision. As for tomorrow's negotiations, I will try my best to help your country obtain its due rights. This is my promise as a representative of the White Eagle government." Lawrence said something to them Gossip, got up and said goodbye.

After sending Lawrence away, Zhang Zongxiang frowned and said, "This guy is not simple. It seems that the people of the White Eagle Kingdom are not small."

"It's easy to explain." Sun Baoqi straightened his shoulders and said, "The people of White Eagle have invested a lot in the Allied Powers. Once they are defeated, these investments will be in vain. Therefore, the people of White Eagle will definitely support the Allied Powers as much as possible. The Raksha Kingdom has maintained its combat effectiveness and allowed them to threaten the Teutonic Kingdom from the east, which is naturally what the White Eagle Kingdom would like to see."

Sun Baoqi is not smarter than Zhang Zongxiang, but he can get more information.Under the analysis of the intelligence department of the Western Special Zone and the guidance of Zhao Shouhong, his vision was much broader than that of Zhang Zongxiang.

Zhang Zongxiang nodded and said: "This is the truth. The purpose of preserving the Luocha Kingdom is to deal with the allies, and what does it mean that the people of the White Eagle Kingdom are showing favor to us?"
