Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Within two days, Wei Ting realized one thing - Zhu Wanwan knew about the relationship between Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an.

Zhu Wanwan even regarded Fu Yun'an as her daughter-in-law.

Although Wei Ting felt that it was inappropriate for Zhu Wanwan to treat a tiger as a cat, seeing her like this, Wei Ting suddenly felt that his thinking was still too old-fashioned.

A traditionally educated woman like Zhu Wanwan can see it, and he can also see the relationship between Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an.

It's just... When he didn't discover the relationship between Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an before, he didn't feel anything. Now that he discovered the relationship between the two, he felt that the actions of the two were clearly showing affection.

He has known Fu Yun'an for a long time. Although Fu Yun'an is easy to talk and get along with, there is always a distance between him and others when interacting. He was surprised at that time. Later, when he learned that Fu Yun'an was actually Huo Sanshao, it was not surprising at all. .

As a result, now, Huo Sanshao, who has always had a sense of distance, is not only very close to Mu Qiong, but also very close to Zhu Wanwan, without any airs.

Sure enough, these friends are different from his lover...

As for Mu Qiong... Seeing that he was always inseparable from Fu Yun'an, Wei Ting felt a little helpless - he even poured out the footwashing water for Fu Yun'an!

However, they are also quite happy.

Wei Ting was a little envious, but also a little bit disappointed, he couldn't help but think of Wei Yuanyuan's mother.

He has been married three times, two of which were not out of his original intention. He married old-fashioned women, and he couldn't talk to them at all. After marrying Wei Yuanyuan's mother, he realized a normal married life.

Sadly, she passed away.

Wei Ting sighed, and put all his thoughts on educating the children on the boat, and stopped seeing Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an's love. As for Zhu Wanwan...he has a good impression of Zhu Wanwan, but it's a pity that Zhu Wanwan obviously doesn't have this kind of intention, and he also Just do nothing.

However, everyone stayed on the same boat, seeing each other without looking up, and his contact with Zhu Wanwan inevitably increased.

After Wei Ting discussed the topic of marriage with Zhu Wanwan, he chatted with Zhu Wanwan about other things one after another.

Zhu Wanwan was brainwashed by Mu Qiong every day, and even accepted that her son would spend the rest of her life with a man, her thoughts were very trendy at the moment, some words even surprised Wei Ting.

What about Zhu Wanwan?Wei Ting is definitely the most knowledgeable among the people she has known and communicated with!

Wei Ting, who was taught by a famous teacher when he was very young, and later traveled around to study, and even worshiped Mr. Qi Lao as his teacher, has a much richer knowledge reserve than Mu Qiong, and he just opened his mouth about "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius".

Zhu Wanwan admired Wei Ting even more.

Life on the ship is actually very boring, but when everyone wanders in the ocean of knowledge, they don't feel bored anymore, and even when they finally come to Europe, they feel a little bit lost.

When they came to Europe, they had a lot of things to do, so it was impossible to discuss all kinds of knowledge every day like when they were on the ship!

The big ship slowly docked, and after dealing with the customs officers, Mu Qiong and the others soon arrived at Yue Chaoying's residence.

The months-long Paris peace conference is about to begin.

And this meeting is actually a spoils sharing meeting of post-war imperialism.

For conferences like the Paris Peace Conference, China was not even eligible to participate in the beginning.

Although Britain and France got a lot of food from China and took away 10,000+ laborers, they didn't pay attention to China from the beginning to the end.

China's participation in the Paris Peace Conference actually depends on the United States.

In recent years, the United States has developed rapidly. They wanted to seize hegemony from Britain and France, so they actively showed themselves and helped some countries, but it gave China the opportunity to participate in this conference.

But at this meeting, it was too difficult for China to fight for its own rights.

Both Mu Qiong and Yue Chaoying were non-staff personnel and did not directly participate in this meeting, but they knew the specific situation very well.

It can be said that he and Yue Chaoying followed up the whole meeting.

The situation is not optimistic. At the same time, Mu Qiong has also seen the strange foreign policies of various countries.

Those countries were united for a while and separated for a while.

Today, the United States wants to establish a League of Nations, and Britain and France oppose it together. Tomorrow, the United States and Britain will unite and let France let Germany go. In a few days, France may unite with the United States...

Of course, at the beginning, none of this had anything to do with China.

The Shandong issue was discussed only after the meeting had been held for some time.

Representatives of Japan participated in the Paris Peace Conference to seize Germany's leased land in Shandong and some islands. At first, in order to prevent Japan from expanding too quickly in East Asia, the United States rejected their request.

However, when Italy withdrew from the Paris Peace Conference because its demands were not met, Japan lost no time in expressing that if they could not follow their terms, they would also withdraw.

Not only that, but they also forced the Chinese government to let a certain domestic official say the words "the diplomats acted without authorization to go back to Shandong".

In the end, both Britain, France and the United States agreed to Japan's request.

The news spread, and the whole country was in an uproar.

People in the country were filled with righteous indignation, and the New Culture Movement in history also took place because of this. For a while, the people in the country were all in high spirits, and countless people thought they could not sign.

Even ordinary people in Britain and France find such a result unacceptable.

Whether it is "Edward's Travels" or "Contagion", or "The Secret Service", "Metamorphosis" and "Silk Town" published these days, people in Britain and France have a certain understanding of China. It's inevitable... I don't like Japan.

Under such circumstances, they all feel a little shameless when they see Japan occupying China's land majestically.

A storm is brewing.

Mu Qiong and others have been abroad for several months.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. During this period, Mu Qiong clearly felt his own growth and had a clearer plan for the future.

During this period, they secretly sold a lot of Xilin.

Of course, this kind of action cannot be concealed from the big powers, but at this time they are busy dividing up the spoils, and they don't care about Mu Qiong and others, and even the American representative sent someone to buy a lot of Xilin and send it back to his country for sale.

Of course, when they are free... Even if there is an international alliance now, the interests of weak countries in the world cannot be guaranteed.

On this day, Mu Qiong asked people to contact newspapers in Britain and France, and published many articles, many of which were written under the pen name of Edward, and most of these articles spoke for China.

When he wrote the article, he placed China in a disadvantaged position, revealing sympathy everywhere in the article, and portrayed China as a country oppressed by Japan.

Such an article, written by Mu Qiong, is a bit unpleasant, but under the current situation, if China refuses to sign, it will not be able to join the newly established League of Nations, and it will lose some of the favorable conditions obtained by participating in the war.

Of course, it is impossible to agree to such a treaty.If China does not sign, it can find a way to get back part of Shandong's rights afterwards, but once signed, Shandong will never take it back.

What Mu Qiong and others can do is to run around and promise benefits.

At this time, the country is already in chaos, but the French side is even more chaotic.

A Shandong petition group asked those diplomats to sign because the Japanese threatened to massacre if they did not sign, and people from the Beijing government asked these diplomats to sign.

There were also Chinese who opposed the signing. They not only protested, but some even threatened the members of the delegation face to face: "If you sign, my gun will not let you go."

The delegation suddenly fell into a dilemma.

On the Japanese side, they are in high spirits.They got huge benefits in this war, and they will get huge benefits after the war!

It seemed that the facts could not be changed, but at this moment, ordinary people in Britain and France suddenly began to protest, and those Chinese laborers who stayed in Britain and France after the war also started to strike.

It has been more than a year since Yue Chaoying came to Britain and France. During this more than a year, he has been fighting for the rights and interests of these workers, making the treatment of these workers much better. With the existence of such books, the attitudes of people in Britain and France towards Chinese labor have also improved.

There is no doubt about the diligence of the Chinese people. After these Chinese laborers were paid better and did not need to go to the battlefield, they began to show their hard work at work. People's impression is better.

Now, they are even protesting with Chinese laborers.

After the war, Britain and France needed to rehabilitate their lives and have enough labor force. Now everyone is protesting, and the strike has shut down many factories, causing dissatisfaction among factory owners and capitalists, which makes them a little bit burnt out.

The British and French governments can ignore the demands of small and weak countries, but they cannot ignore the demands of capitalists in their own countries.

A new weight has been added to the balance of interests.

All of this is behind Yue Chaoying. After Yue Chaoying came to Europe, he used money and Xilin to make deals with many people here, and even caught some people's handles. He can do a lot of things here Come.

Of course, this is not the only thing he did—he took Mu Qiong and Han Zhen to meet with representatives from Britain, France and the United States again.

In the past few months, they have met these people several times one after another, but it is a pity that before that, the representatives of Britain, France and the United States were all ambiguous and ambiguous.

Now, they have final talks.

Even if these three countries cannot speak out for China, they also hope that the Shandong issue can be shelved temporarily and disappear from the treaty.

A car stopped in front of a bungalow, and the door opened. Mu Qiong first got out of the car, and then helped Yue Chaoying out of the car from the other side of the door.

As soon as they got out of the car, Wei Ting hurried over: "How's the situation?"

Mu Qiong's face was exhausted, but also relieved: "It's done."
