President Feng Guozhang did not expect that He Rui would suddenly come to the capital. When he heard the news, Feng Guozhang was not even in the capital, but met with a group of Beiyang old men who were apartment houses in Tianjin.

When Feng Guozhang heard the news, he was stunned for a moment and turned his face unhappily. The old men in Beiyang were also at a loss by the news and their eyes wandered between Feng Guozhang and Zhang Xiluan.

Zhang Xiluan didn't know what He Rui wanted to do, and he cared entirely. Facing everyone's eyes, Zhang Xiluan picked up the teacup and savored it slowly, without catching up with the eyes of others.

Feng Guozhang suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha. Brother Zhang, I am really old, and the young people no longer look down on us."

Although Feng Guozhang was laughing, the old brothers did not laugh, and He Rui's actions did meet Feng Guozhang's explanation.

Zhang Xiluan put down the teacup, "Brother Hua Fu is joking. Why not send a telegram to the capital? I think He Rui will come to Tianjin."

Seeing that Zhang Xiluan had a smooth situation, Feng Guozhang did not answer immediately. If things could really be as Zhang Xiluan said, it would have been a barely satisfying Feng Guozhang's face. But once He Rui did not do this, Feng Guozhang's face would fall to the ground. At that time, Feng Guozhang had formed a gang with He Rui, and it would be difficult for the two to meet in the future.

The old Beiyang brothers are all proficient in human relationships and worldly styles, so they would not know Feng Guozhang's idea. Although some people wanted to take the opportunity to provoke trouble and instigate Feng Guozhang to do the matter to the end. But when everyone else was silent, they did not dare to speak rashly.

Feng Guozhang stood up and said goodbye, but everyone did not try to keep him. When Feng Guozhang left, Zhang Xiluan also wanted to say goodbye, and Wang Shizhen said, "Brother, send your brother out."

The two walked to the secluded place in the yard and asked, "Brother Zhang, He Rui is 28 this year, right?"

Zhang Xiluan thought Wang Shizhen wanted to ask He Rui for the purpose of this trip, so she made up her mind not to talk about it. Unexpectedly, Wang Shizhen suddenly said something like this, which was unexpected. Wang Shizhen continued: "Brother He has not gotten married at this age, and his brother has not helped him arrange one?"

"I, the old man, don't understand the thoughts of the young man." Zhang Xiluan smiled. After saying that, he left the party directly.

At the same time, in the flower hall of the Prime Minister's Office in Beijing, Duan Qirui said with a kind expression: "He Rui, have you never thought about getting married at this age?"

Duan Qirui was the Prime Minister of the Republic of China, and He Rui was arranged by him when he went to the outside of the pass. In Beiyang, everyone thought that He Rui was a person from Duan Qirui. Several accompanying officials were staring at He Rui and waiting for him to answer. Duan Qirui helped He Rui as a mediator and would definitely not insult He Rui. As long as He Rui agreed, it means that the two sides have built a political alliance.

"Please help from this matter in the future. The subordinates came for state affairs this time. The chief may not know that when the British sent their consul in Shenyang to meet with Morrison, they said that they wanted the Czech army in Russia to reach the port through the northeast. It was really outrageous!"

He Rui did not refuse or agreed to Duan Qirui's help to be a mediator, and the officials did not find anything strange. Only the invited Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang's eyes lit up and he stared at He Rui closely.

Duan Qirui also couldn't figure out what He Rui meant. Could this young Fengtian leader suddenly come for diplomacy?

He Rui did not keep it a secret and continued to analyze: "General, the Russian civil war broke out, Britain and France must work together to make the forces supporting Britain and France the future government of Russia. According to what his subordinates saw, the British did this to test their subordinates and see if their subordinates would board the British ship. This is their delusion. The subordinates are Chinese, so naturally they take Chinese interests as their only position. This time they came to discuss this matter with the General."

Duan Qirui heard He Rui speak new-style nouns, although he could understand them and was far from his habits, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang couldn't help but say, "Mr. He's words are admirable."

He Rui nodded to Lu Zhengxiang and expressed his gratitude. Seeing that Duan Qirui did not speak, he continued: "General, as what his subordinates see, what the British are looking for is to support the forces of anti-Bolsheviks in Russia, but Britain suffered heavy losses in the war and refused to support other Russian forces on a large scale. Please read..."

As he said that, He Rui took out a map. Duan Qirui was also curious at this time, so he stood up and said, "Let's talk at the table."

The map was soon spread on the table, and everyone stood around the map. I saw that the sphere of influence of the Allies and the Allies had marked on the map. He Rui pointed to the map and began to tell the story that the front line between St. Petersburg and Moscow in northern Russia were completely controlled by the Bolsheviks. Western Europe is now in a row, and there is no way to transport weapons and ammunition to the Russian White Army in southern and eastern Russia through this place.

The route to southern Russia is now controlled by the Allies, especially the Strait of Bossus is controlled in the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

He Rui's fingers passed the Siberian Railway all the way, and stopped after passing the North Line of the Middle East Road that He Rui took, "General, this is what the British plan."

Duan Qirui is a smart man and already understands the British's intention to use this line of traffic in the hands of the White Army. After thinking for a while, Duan Qirui asked: "He Rui, what do you want the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to talk to the UK?"

The talks lasted for several hours. After dinner, Duan Qirui and Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang had a long talk with He Rui. It was late at night, and Lu Zhengxiang slept directly in the guest room of the Prime Minister's Office. Because of his excitement, Lu Zhengxiang lay in bed and couldn't sleep.

Lu Zhengxiang, who had been working as a diplomatic worker in Russia for more than ten years, was like a fish in water during this meeting. His previous experience was fully utilized and he was greatly affirmed by Duan Qirui. However, what excited Lu Zhengxiang was another thing.

Since he became the fourth-class secretary and translator of the Embassy in Russia in 1892, 26 years have passed since 1918. It is the first time that he has faced international issues with this global perspective. Moreover, the Chinese rulers spent ten hours discussing diplomatic content with a pragmatic and strategic height throughout the process, which has never been possible.

Even though Duan Qirui did not understand diplomacy, he fully understood how to negotiate with Britain. This made Lu Zhengxiang discover something that it was not that senior officials like Duan Qirui did not want to do diplomacy well. Duan Qirui really wanted to do diplomacy well, and also wanted to gain national interests through diplomacy. However, Duan Qirui did not understand international diplomacy, could not seize fleeting opportunities, and could not build a situation that could be beneficial to China.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengxiang forced himself to fall asleep. Because He Rui, who initiated this diplomatic operation, would leave the capital and return to the outside of the pass tomorrow. Some details must be finalized after dawn to the limited time before He Rui left.

In the hazy, someone shook Lu Zhengxiang's shoulder and shouted softly, "Minister Lu, Minister Lu."

Lu Zhengxiang felt very sleepy and turned over unhappily. However, he suddenly remembered that there was something going on today, and his anger disappeared immediately after getting up.

However, after getting up, my head was dizzy. Lu Zhengxiang reluctantly sat up and said, "Make me a pot of strong tea!"

The servant advised: "The Prime Minister has prepared bath water for the minister."

In less than an hour, Lu Zhengxiang appeared in the conference room with a little radiant appearance. Duan Qirui was a soldier. Although his eyes were a little swollen at this time, he still looked refreshed. However, the tea in the tea cup at his hand was very thick, and Duan Qirui tasted tea quite frequently.

He Rui looked a little pale and his eyes were a little red. Then Duan Qirui sighed: "He Rui, can you resist it if you haven't slept all night?"

Lu Zhengxiang was stunned and saw He Rui take out a stack of written documents, "General, this is the record of yesterday's talks, and his subordinates have already written their ideas on the details."

Because there is only one copy, Duan Qirui reads first and Lu Zhengxiang continues to read. As expected, what Xu Rui said was all about the content that talked about late at night yesterday. Although He Rui's words were completely vernacular, there were many of them very new and they were not used to reading them. However, the entire process and related key points were analyzed very clearly.

Lu Zhengxiang couldn't help but admire He Rui, which was a big change. It must be said that He Rui's evaluation of the Beiyang senior executives was not good. The Beiyang senior executives knew that foreigners thought He Rui was very powerful, so they also thought that He Rui must have extraordinary features. But the Beiyang upper executives actually didn't know how powerful He Rui was. The only thing they knew was that He Rui had a lot of vision and could always seize opportunities.

How many times can you fight in life? Everyone knows what the last Yuan Shikai who fought hard ended. As long as you fail, a person in a high position may be ruined and crushed to pieces. But the same is true, as long as you seize one opportunity, you may soar into the sky. Therefore, most people are willing to talk about He Rui's Beiyang upper class and senior government officials. Most people think that He Rui is "lucky".

At this time, Lu Zhengxiang understood that He Rui was not simply lucky, but He Rui had a vision that no one in the Beiyang could match.

Seeing that Lu Zhengxiang had finished reading the documents, Duan Qirui asked with some concern: "He Rui, everything else in your plan is good, but at first, he had to make the words clear. Isn't it too arrogant?"

"General, this diplomacy is a dialogue between the government of the Republic of China and the British cabinet. Only when the British are fully clear and we know very well what the British want, we are willing to provide what the British want, can the British let go of their doubts. The subordinates think that the British will understand. There is no room for implicit diplomacy. Those dialogues that seem to be foggy are just used customary words for European and American diplomatic agreements. These words are not known to outsiders and look strange. Since China does not have such diplomatic words, it is better to express their feelings directly and make the other party unambiguous as soon as possible. The exquisite and elegant ones are not at this time."

After hearing this, Lu Zhengxiang felt deeply convinced. However, Duan Qirui frowned slightly and thought. During this period, he drank several sips of strong tea. Then he suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that what He Rui, what you think is very different from what I think."

When Lu Zhengxiang heard this, he was surprised. First of all, he was moved by Duan Qirui's frankness. Secondly, he found that a big man like Duan Qirui had more limited knowledge of international diplomacy than he imagined.

But this cannot be said. Lu Zhengxiang looked at He Rui. He Rui frankly replied: "General, the Chinese are talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality. Diplomacy among the great powers is pure interests. The subordinates only deal with Europe and the United States in the diplomatic model of Europe and the United States. This makes the General laugh."

Duan Qirui waved his hand and his eyes became much brighter.

However, He Rui did not continue this topic, "I wonder if the president has any questions about these?"

Duan Qirui thought for a while, "He Rui, depending on your arrangement, should we do it as soon as possible?"

"That's true. The faster the better, the better. There is no room for sale in this matter. Although it is diplomacy, the general manager can take this matter to buy a bun, pay the money and deliver the goods in the other. If you want to calculate more benefits, you are afraid that you will add to it."

Duan Qirui did not answer. Seeing his frowning slightly, he seemed to be considering whether what He Rui said was true.

He Rui didn't say anything and continued, "General, my subordinates have surrendered."

Duan Qirui was a little surprised, "Oh? He Rui, are you going to go back outside the pass? Why not stay in the capital for a few more days?"

"I came here this time for this matter. Since I have already explained it to the Chief and there is nothing else in the country, my subordinates will naturally go back. If the Chief will give me any instructions in the future, I will send a telegram to my subordinates, and my subordinates will naturally be ordered."

Duan Qirui wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother Minister Lu to take Brother He to the station on my behalf."
