Wang Yongjiang does not have a handsome appearance or a particularly tall figure. In the Northeast government atmosphere with shaved short hair, he did not deliberately keep his thick beard. The 47-year-old middle-aged man looked clean and neat.

At the dinner table, Wang Yongjiang was very natural. After all, the dishes He Rui wanted were not large, and if they were in accordance with the rules in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yongjiang would have stopped eating. Wang Yongjiang heard that He Rui did not like the style of the Qing Dynasty.

Sure enough, I saw that He Rui was not interested in eating, so he ate very casually. The chopsticks were used to make dishes with a stronger seasoning.

Nearly fifty years old, Wang Yongjiang has been tempered by life experience. Although he has various ideas, he has used the same attitude as He Rui to sweep away the food with He Rui. After drinking the egg flower soup, He Rui picked up the water cup and took a sip, sighing: "Is it the salt seller who was beaten to death?"

Only then did Wang Yongjiang realize that He Rui felt that there was too much salt in the food. He couldn't help but admire He Rui's nature. With He Rui's current status, after eating food that was not as good as his appetite, he stood up without saying a word. Even if he was very well-educated, he immediately scolded him, which was normal.

But He Rui was so tolerant, Wang Yongjiang was also a little worried. He picked up the water cup and took a sip. Wang Yongjiang said to He Rui: "Chairman, the young comrades are a bit too intense, but what I said at the meeting was a bit too much."

He Rui held the water cup and smiled, "No. President Wang used the standards of excellent adults to demand young comrades. Everyone is young and they are inevitably eager for quick success and instant benefits. This is what President Wang did right."

Wang Yongjiang then felt relieved. After all, Wang Yongjiang himself was from the old government, and the young comrades were a group of people who followed He Rui. It is obvious that the two were close and alienated.

After relaxing, Wang Yongjiang asked his curious questions, "Chairman, those Russians want to go from Lake Baikal to Vladivostok in this icy and snowy winter, but they are afraid that many people will die along the way. I am afraid that there will be some chaos on the border."

After saying that, Wang Yongjiang looked at He Rui's reaction. He Rui looked calm and did not show any hatred for the Russians. This graceful and generous expression was indeed not consistent with He Rui's 30-year-old youth, and He Rui was too calm.

He Rui agreed with Wang Yongjiang's attitude of being polite and polite, and replied: "President Wang, the fact that hundreds of thousands of people died of collective freezing and starvation is a humanitarian disaster. This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. As a member of mankind, we cannot sit idly by this matter. Although Europe and the United States are now also suffering from their poor personal hygiene situation, hundreds of thousands of people fall ill every day, and thousands of people die every day. But we still need to call on the whole world for this matter and cannot sit idly by it."

Wang Yongjiang didn't like Russians at all, and he had no interest in the Russians' misfortune. He knew that Belarus's purpose was to save the money in his hands, so that millions of people could risk death to make such a big migration. He was very dissatisfied with Kolchak, the former ruling Russian Provisional Government.

At this time, He Rui didn't talk about profiting from the Russians' disaster at all, and even wanted to appeal to the Russians. He was surprised, "Chairman He, do you really want to help the Russians?"

He Rui nodded, "I have no interest in Russians. If I don't know about this, I won't pay attention to it. But since I know it, I can't pretend that I didn't see it. This is the bottom line of being a human being. I have arranged for the Foreign Affairs Department to talk about this in European and American newspapers, and will organize food supply so that millions of Russians who fled the battlefield of civil war will survive as much as possible."

Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but feel admiration. Compared with the young people who were full of thoughts and only wanted to enrich the precious metal reserves of Northeast Bank, He Rui was really compassionate.

"The Chairman is indeed a person who does big things!" Wang Yongjiang sighed.

He Rui was not just talking. While he was talking to Wang Yongjiang, the British "Times" and French "Le Figaro" in addition to the newspapers of the defeated allied countries, He Rui launched newspapers from various countries that had exchanges during the European War and published news.

Just as how to tell Wang Yongjiang the current international situation, the 1918 coronavirus pandemic that broke out from the United States is tortureting countries. In 1918, the population loss data that various US governments could count was 200,000 people died in October in one month. Not only is the United States, which is the birthplace, so miserable, too many people died in European countries.

However, the winter flu in 1919 was much better than the previous two years. Many people just fell ill and recovered much faster than before. Therefore, in the winter of 1919, most American factories started work normally, and Europe was similar. Workers were still attracted by this large-scale death after work.

Not only Europe and the United States, but also Comrade Lenin in Moscow also saw the newspaper. At this time, the Bolshevik Central Committee members in Moscow also saw it. Seeing their enemies facing such a desperate situation, many Central Committee members were in a good mood. Most of the members who felt regretful only regretted that they had lost the opportunity to personally solve these stubborn white bandits.

Yue Fei, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, did not think so. The diplomatic expert in the Bolsheviks looked worried. When he learned that Lenin had also read the report, Yue Fei's tone was slow, but his tone was firm. "Comrade Lenin, He Rui's attitude towards the White Bandits is worthy of fun. The news he published in European and American newspapers was obviously to please the European left-wing Social Democrats and hoped to leave a good impression among those people. But I don't think doing so will give He Rui a tangible benefit."

Lenin did not answer immediately. He agreed with the judgment of the Yuefei Committee. The left-wing Social Democrats sympathized with the working people, but were very opposed to the casualties caused by the fierce revolution itself. He Rui's call for the prevention of an imminent humanitarian disaster in his article should be very in line with the appetite of those left-wing Social Democrats.

After all, in the eyes of Social Democrats, these millions of people are also human.

If He Rui had just written such an article, Comrade Lenin would only think that He Rui himself was also a relatively radical Social Democrat and a bourgeois reformist. However, in the article, He Rui mentioned the Bolshevik branch's action of shooting the Tsar's family in 1918, and Lenin's view of He Rui had to change a little.

He Rui's words in the article can be regarded as criticism, '... Socialist revolution is a great cause, a humanitarian cause. There are indeed bloody sacrifices in the process of the implementation of this cause, but this sacrifice must be meaningful. Can the Bolshevik government shoot the entire family of the Tsar, including four maids? Of course, it can. But this process should not be retaliatory killing, but should be judged through court trials to demonstrate the existence of the law. Now the Russian people can accept such killings under intense emotions. But decades after peace comes, the people will inevitably question how those who killed those underage children can take action? Just like decades later, some people will definitely question why not kill the White Army on the battlefield? Why not sentence those counter-revolutionaries to death in court? Instead, they should die by deliberately ignoring their deaths? Is this humanitarianism in the socialist revolution?'

Comrade Lenin has been in Western Europe for a long time and knows the tone of the left-wing Social Democrats. If a real Social Democrat is a saying similar to these, but not such logic.

If we think that He Rui is also standing on the standpoint of the socialist revolution, this news can be regarded as an advice to the Bolshevik government.

When the member of Yuefei saw that Comrade Lenin did not answer, he was about to speak again, and heard Lenin say, "Comrade Yuefei, give me some time and let me think about it again."

After saying that, Comrade Lenin stood up and paced in the office with his hands behind his back. Yue Fei initially followed the footsteps of his beloved Comrade Lenin with his eyes, but soon he withdrew his eyes and began to think.

In the opinion of Yuefei, He Rui's purpose is to have a good impact in Europe. Although this impact does not have much substantial help to He Rui, a local Chinese leader gaining more recognition from Europe will obviously help He Rui himself become a Chinese leader.

Of course, from the perspective of fighting emotions, He Rui is showing his differences with the Bolshevik government. If so, He Rui is likely to join the ranks of foreign interference troops.

While analyzing He Rui's position, Comrade Lenin stopped and said to Yue Fei: "Comrade Yue Fei, you send a telegram to the representative office stationed in Shenyang and request a meeting with He Rui."

"What are you going to talk about when you meet?" Yue Fei asked. If He Rui had already determined his imperialist position, any negotiation would only encourage He Rui's arrogance and would not help resolve Russia's problems.

Comrade Lenin had made up his mind at this time, "Let me talk about his views on the current world situation and the future world situation."

At this time, the Bolshevik government had already set up an office in Shenyang in a very low-key manner. After receiving a telegram from Moscow, it went to ask for the director of the Foreign Affairs Department. As soon as they walked into the Foreign Affairs Department, they saw people coming and going, which was very lively. The staff of the Bolshevik Government Office had come several times and paid great attention to the layout of the Foreign Affairs Department. As far as they knew, it was probably confirmed that the people who were communicating with each other came out of the Telegram Room of the Foreign Affairs Department. Moreover, the people who communicating with each other were telegraphs, and some were letters.

The receptionist was a section chief named Zhou. He looked tired because of his busyness. After hearing the request, he asked a few questions when someone knocked on the door, "Section Chief Zhou, there is a telegram from the United States."

Section Chief Zhou responded and stepped up the question. When he learned that the Bolshevik representatives were coming to see the Director of Foreign Affairs, he asked them to wait first, so he hurried out.

At this time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was also very busy. Telegrams flew from all over the world like snowflakes. London, Paris, New York, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Lisbon...

These were just names in various diplomatic training knowledge, and the world-famous cities that existed in my mind. At this time, I had a living contact with the Foreign Affairs Department of the Northeast Government.

Most of the telegrams were criticized by the Bolshevik government and sympathy for the Russians who fled to Vladivostok on the vast snowy fields.

During this period, we also received many calls from other departments of the Northeast government. The Ministry of Public Security informed the Foreign Affairs Department that the Russian expatriates in Harbin launched a march and expressed their support for Belarus.

The Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai stations of Northeast Daily sent a message. Some foreigners in China came to the Northeast Daily's local newspaper office to express their attitude to the newspaper office. Some foreigners donated money to provide help to millions of Belarusians.

It was not only the civilians who proposed to help Belarus. The Foreign Affairs Office also received telegrams from some foreign unofficial organizations that were willing to provide entry assistance to women and children.

This "entry" does not mean helping Belarus enter China, but helping Belarusians start from the Northeast and enter European and American countries.

As the Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, these tasks can be handled by various relevant departments of the Department of Foreign Affairs. However, the Director of Foreign Affairs must meet with consulates from various countries in Shenyang. All countries that set up consulates in Shenyang have sent consulates to meet, express their concerns in person, and ask about the Northeast government's preventive measures for possible outbreak of "humanitarian disasters".

When Section Chief Zhou knocked on the door and came in, Zhou Xinghao, Director of the Foreign Affairs Department, was talking to the British Consul. "Mr. Henry, if we send troops into Russia, it will be considered an act of war. If Britain wants to send a humanitarian team into Russia, it is obviously inappropriate to start from China..."

Seeing Section Chief Zhou was very anxious, Director Zhou Xinghao had to temporarily interrupt the talks and come out to inquire. When he learned that it was the Bolshevik Government Office that requested a meeting, Zhou Xinghao was angry and came to him. These people were the culprits!

"I will definitely not see them today, let them come again tomorrow!" After saying that, Director Zhou Xinghao returned to the office and continued to talk to the British Consul.

Everyone contacted the Northeast government under the banner of humanitarianism. Director Zhou Xinghao knew very well that the purpose of foreign officials would not be so simple. But since the matter was announced to the world by the Northeast government, the Northeast government had to take responsibility.

Not only the Foreign Affairs Department under such pressure in the Northeast government, but He Rui also received a lot of telegrams. The ambassadors of the great powers to China sent telegrams to He Rui, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China also sent telegrams. It can be seen that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China was very dissatisfied with He Rui's provocation of such a thing. However, facing He Rui, a large faction that was of great significance in the Republic of China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' telegrams were very polite.

‘…I hope General He will stabilize the border and properly resolve this crisis.’

He Rui put the telegram aside and ordered his secretary to write a telegram to Zhuerdian. If possible, He Rui wanted to contact London directly, but this was not in line with diplomatic rules and had to give up.

"His Excellency Jurden, for the changes facing the Far East, I call on the British government to provide support to help those people and reduce casualties. Especially at the moment when the Russian people have set out, the clear attitude of the British government is an important guarantee for stabilizing the world situation..."

After sending a telegram to the British ambassador to China, the content of the telegram changed its name and sent it to France, the United States, Spain and other countries.

After recording He Rui's order, the secretary asked in confusion: "Chairman, there is no Japan among these countries."

"I'm not going to send it to the Japanese government." He Rui replied decisively. All telegram recipients are beyond the reach and cannot really affect the matter. But Japan can do it. If Japan receives He Rui's telegram, with their style of beating snakes and sticks, they will definitely find a way to intervene and pull He Rui in.

As soon as the secretary left with a lot of writing work, the Foreign Affairs Office called over, "Chairman, the Japanese side requested to see the Chairman."

He Rui decisively told Director Zhou Xinghao of the Department of Foreign Affairs on the phone, "Tell the Japanese that we are trying our best to resolve this matter. Japan can ensure that it does not affect the situation in Northeast Asia, which is the greatest help that Japan can do!"

After putting down the phone, He Rui tidied up his clothes. Since the black military uniform had been assigned to the Security Bureau, He Rui changed into a civil servant uniform and appeared in the reception room.

There were already many reporters sitting in the reception room, including foreign journalists. After He Rui sat down, various questions came to the scene. Most of them were whether He Rui would send troops into Russia to solve the humanitarian crisis.

He Rui's answer was very simple. Sending troops into Russia was a military operation. Without the invitation from China, military operation became an invasion operation. Since the Northeast government did not receive the central government's order, it naturally would not send one army and one soldier into Russia.

The reporters immediately asked whether the Northeast would carry out humanitarian rescue. He Rui smiled and said: "In the current situation in Russia, we must have armed personnel to protect it so that the Northeast can allow rescue organizations from various countries to enter Russia. Otherwise, we may have to rescue those rescue organizations again. I don't want to see more humanitarian tragedies in order to solve the humanitarian disaster."

Many reporters laughed, and amid the laughter, a reporter immediately stood up and asked to speak, "His Excellency Chairman, I am a reporter from the Paris Daily in France. Do you think the current situation in Northeast Asia will be out of control?"

He Rui immediately put away his smile and said seriously: "Just a while ago, the Japanese government asked the Northeast government that they wanted to intervene in this humanitarian disaster. I have refused! The reason for rejection is as the reporter said, if the situation in Northeast Asia changes dramatically, it will only cause more humanitarian disasters. China is a peace-loving country, and we will never accept such a thing!"

A reporter from the Paris Daily in France was stunned and asked quickly: "What if the Japanese government does not agree with your opinion?"

This was a bit irritating. All the reporters were waiting to listen to He Rui's answer carefully. For a moment, there was a silence in the reception room.

He Rui smiled and said, "Mr. reporter, you shouldn't ask me this question, but to ask the Japanese government. I have only one position now, that is, I don't want to see the humanitarian disaster happen. However, any statement I make about other things now will become a diplomatic excuse. This goes against my original intention of pursuing peace."

The Paris Daily reporter who asked the question was moved by He Rui's answer for a while. His question was originally intended to make a fuss. If it was in Europe, the answer would definitely be tough. But He Rui did not. If it was in Europe, his answer would be considered weak and powerless. But He Rui admitted frankly that it can be seen that He Rui did intend to be peaceful.

Sure enough, He Rui continued: "My reporters, I am here to express my expectations. I hope everyone can make things develop in a good direction through reports. There are countless creatures on this earth, and we humans are the same race. The fighters on the battlefield is impossible. But we should and must find a way to solve the large-scale death of civilians. We are weak in the Northeast but are willing to do so. I hope that peace-loving people all over the world can work together to solve this crisis."
