Although Yang Rui said it very well, the proposal for "ethnic equality" was not only excited and responded to it by the Japanese, but also actively opposed it by other countries, even the United Kingdom, especially Australian Prime Minister Hughes. With Japan's occupation of German New Guinea, Japanese navy and Japanese immigration have become the most taboo thing in the hearts of whites. Once Wilson's international alliance regards ethnic equality as the basic clause of the alliance, not to mention the United States, the British federal states will also strongly protest.

"The Netherlands is just a puppet of Britain. It is the despicable trick of provoking the indigenous people to kill overseas Chinese. After all, it is the despicable trick of the colonial governor to find scapegoats to ease colonial conflicts." The diplomatic strategy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was wrong, so Xie Zhangtai could only keep silent. The current problem lies mainly in Japan, because they have a strong navy rather than China.

"Then what do you think you should do." Yang Rui glanced at Xie Zhangtai, "I heard that when we mention ethnic equality, there will be continued rumor of banning Japanese and anti-Chinese dissatisfaction in California, the California legislature is said to have to formulate a stricter anti-Asian immigration policy..."

"Yes," Xie Zhangtai's forehead sweated. "Before the European War, the California government was extremely rejecting Japanese expatriates. The economic prosperity during the war covered up this problem. However, now that the war is over, the US economy is about to fall into a trough. I think an xenophobic peak will occur soon, and the activities of Asian Americans in California and even the entire United States will be very fierce..."

"What should I do?" Yang Rui turned around and looked at him, his eyes as if they were substance.

"I don't know!" Xie Zhangtai shook his head, "I can't think of any solution. Perhaps raising tariffs on US goods imports is one of the solutions. However, the industrial products of the subsidiary companies of the Ministry of Industry obviously aim the market at the United States. That is, if the tariffs are raised, the United States will also raise tariffs retaliatedly, which is extremely unfavorable for my country's industrial development. If we really think the Ministry of Commerce analyzes, the United States will be the world's largest industrial products market."

"How much does our trade volume with the United States now? How much does this account for the United States' foreign export volume?" Yang Rui asked.

"The import of American goods is about 300 million Chinese dollars, which is more than 100 million US dollars. As for the export of US foreign goods..." Xie Zhangtai was not too clear about these data, and only estimated: "The United States exported more than 3 billion US dollars during the war, and before the war it seemed to be 1.8 billion US dollars. After the war, we will definitely expand the import of materials..."

Before Xie Zhangtai finished speaking, he heard a "bang" sound, and the teacup in Yang Rui's hand was slammed by him. Although he was not a real overseas Chinese, he was still familiar with the information investigated by American detectives. What is the American anti-Chinese look like? He knew completely. Thinking that while he could not fall in love with the United States and while he could not solve the anti-Chinese affairs, the cup was broken with force...

"Ah, I'll call the doctor..." Xie Zhangtai couldn't help panic when he saw Yang Rui's hand bleeding. Although there was no Spanish flu in autumn, if there was any other plague in France, it would be a disaster.

"I'm fine!" Yang Rui didn't care about the injury on his opponent, and he didn't even care about stopping the bleeding. "You continue to say it."

"I don't know what to say!" Xie Zhangtai said: "Because I can't live in China, I would rather become piglets and be trafficked around the world to do slave labor. Although this is a life-threatening life, it is better than waiting for death in my hometown. If it is really because of my mention of equality among races, it makes their situation more difficult and they don't have the opportunity to do slave labor, it's better not to do anything..."

Xie Zhangtai has been abroad for many years and has seen more things than Yang Rui. The problem of overseas Chinese is simply a festering and incurable wound. You really have to move. It will only cause bleeding. It will make you stop moving when you have no ability to stop the bleeding.

"Then what will we do when we participate in the peace service?" Yang Rui asked back. The violent reaction between Britain and the United States was unexpected by China and Japan.

"We..." Xie Zhangtai was speechless. China is different from Japan. He has basically obtained the benefits he can get, and it is not necessary to negotiate with the United States to negotiate in Paris. "I have the responsibility to fail the strategy formulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Everyone has a responsibility," Yang Rui said, "Since that's the case, then tear the wound a little bigger and involve Japan. This way, everyone is a victim. It will help to share the same hatred of the enemy."

As soon as Yang Rui finished speaking, the medical staff who accompanied the regiment came over. Looking at the blood dripping on the ground, no one dared to speak. Although Xie Zhangtai was surprised by Yang Rui's "unity against the enemy". It was difficult to speak if outsiders were present. He only waited for the people to leave, and he said, "I really want to do this?"

"Of course. Do you think there are people in our country who discriminate against yellow race?" Yang Rui asked.

"No." Xie Zhangtai thought of the Kazakhs and added: "Essentially no."

"If we want to gain widespread support in Asia, we must help all Asians speak and help them stand out. As a European and American colonial Asia. What everyone needs to hear the most is this voice. This is the best way for us to win justice..." Yang Rui said, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Zhangtai.

"It turns out, you won't... you won't really go to war with Europe and the United States, right?" he asked anxiously.

"In due course, this may become possible." Yang Rui said. "To be more certain, if Europe and the United States do not give up their colonial policies, then whether economically or emotionally, the Chinese people do not want to see our former vassal states being bullied and abused by Europeans and Americans because they have had such experiences."

"We can't win." Xie Zhangtai was stunned, and then thought of the nearly two million American troops in Europe.

"As long as Japan is, we will never lose." Yang Rui said. "And she is in the east, which is equivalent to a shield. The Americans have to spend their time destroying her before they can seize Taiwan and attack the mainland. Even so, they will not be able to take ashore to occupy the entire China. Our territory is too large and the Americans cannot afford the price of occupation. The only possibility is a long blockade, or occupying the rich coastal areas, establishing the Guangdong Republic and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Republic. Regarding the current situation, my opinion is to continue to bring the Japanese to advocate racial equality, even if we get nothing at the Paris Peace Conference."

Yang Rui's stubbornness Xie Zhangtai had long experienced it, but he was so stubborn at the Paris Peace Conference, which made him unable to understand. "It turned out, have you ever thought about it? If we don't make a compromise, the proposal will be opposed by Britain and the United States. At that time, we will get nothing, and the military spending and the lives of death will be in vain..."

"It's not in vain. Participating in the war is to cancel unequal treaties and make huge profits in war shipping. Except for the Americans who have been quarreling and refusing to recognize the New Testament, we have all reached these two points, so it doesn't matter whether we compromise or not. Now we need German industrial technology, the American industrial market, and the British colonies' industrial raw materials. The most difficult thing to deal with here is the American industrial market. But in terms of import and export equal trade, once the United States closes the market to us, we will close the market to them, so everyone will live in harmony in a short period of time.

We are not Japan, and we don’t need to ask all countries to recognize our occupation of German colonies. Come here to make soy sauce. If that’s the case, why not bring a bottle of justice soy sauce back? Will not be more comfortable to handle the affairs of Asian countries in this way?” Yang Rui smiled, “No matter what, from now on, you will be the spokesperson of Asia. As long as the interests of Asian countries are involved, you will have to argue.”

"Ottoman Türkiye is also inside?" Thinking of the Asia-Europe Railway mentioned by Yang Rui just now, Xie Zhangtai felt something.

"Of course." Yang Rui nodded. "In addition, if it is convenient, I want to visit Türkiye and Persia when I return to China, and then return from Central Asia via the Western Regions Railway."

The Peace Conference will take several months. Although the itinerary for the return to China has not been arranged, the Prime Minister passed through Nanyang was planned, but now he suddenly has to go ashore from the Persian Gulf and return by land... "Okay, I will try my best to arrange it." Xie Zhangtai nodded.

The Chinese did not change their original intentions, and the Japanese, who had stronger self-esteem, were even more stubbornly escorted the equality of race behind their butts, which made the chaotic peace that was already chaotic because Italy could not get the Fumi Port of Adriatic Sea. More than a month later, the peace meeting changed the original twelve-man meeting of the six countries of Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and Japan to the five-man meeting of the five leaders of the five countries, as well as the six-man meeting of the five foreign ministers and representatives of Japan. Japan originally had a seat at the five-man summit, but the head of the delegation, Nishinomiji Komatsu was not a Japanese Prime Minister, so Japan was excluded.

After staying in Paris for more than two months, he was finally going to attend the meeting. Yang Rui was a little uncomfortable, but except for Italian Prime Minister Orlando, the other three Yang Rui had already met. After Yang Rui entered the venue, it was obvious that Prime Minister Krimson snorted lightly and heavily. When he heard his humming Yang Rui turn his head and smile, he muttered unconsciously: "Damn it, the weather is so cold."

The meeting started at the end of August and has been delayed until November, so naturally autumn turns into winter. The Chinese representatives used to speak for Germany as much as possible while the British standpoint was consistent, which made the French very upset; at the same time, France had huge investments in Russia, and the Bolsheviks did not recognize all foreign debts and confiscated all property, but China signed a contract with them, which made France even more unhappy.

"As old, just get used to it!" Yang Rui said unintentionally, but he was in German.

"You..." Krimengsuo suddenly glared at him. He hated the Germans the most. Although the translator Yang Rui had translated German into French, he was still extremely angry. In his opinion, China was originally a pro-German country, and Yang Rui and Sun Wen talked to him many times were obviously a dictator. "I don't want to hear damn German here!" he said angrily.

"But I don't know French. Okay, I'll speak Mandarin." Yang Rui smiled, and he immediately sat down in his position.

The Chinese were disagreeing with France as soon as they met. The British Prime Minister Lloyd George and Wilson, who had been fed up with the French, suddenly laughed. Especially the small Lloyd George, when the argument was made that day, Crimson actually asked to fight him, which fooled the British gentleman. Now that the Chinese teased Crimson, he was very happy.

It would be fine if the British didn't laugh, but Crymence's old face couldn't be kept in touch. He turned around and clenched his fists and said to Yang Rui: "In the name of God, I must duel with you!"

"This is not a good idea, because the French will lose their prime minister." Yang Rui did not expect that the French tiger would fight to the death as soon as they met. However, facing an old man in his seventies, it was more like a murder than a duel.

The French and Chinese suddenly had a conflict. Although Lloyd George, Wilson and Orlando were surprised, they were not surprised. Instead, they wanted to see where things would eventually develop.

"No, I'll hold on!" Crimson was in excitement, his beard trembling with his thicker breathing.

"Do you need to use a sword?" Yang Rui still laughed. According to Western rules, showing weakness at this time is a coward, so he deliberately asked if he was using a sword, wearing a nylon body armor.

"No, use a gun!" Crimson said, there was no entanglement between China and France. But his irritable nature made him insist on carrying the duel to the end.

"No, gentlemen, if you really have a duel, the meeting will be delayed until at least a few months later!" The British were the first to object. He felt that these two prime ministers from military backgrounds were fierce and ruthless people, and judging from age, no matter how far the shooting distance between the two sides was, the one who died should be the French. He needed the French and Chinese to fight against the Americans together.

"I think so too." Italian Prime Minister Orlando and Wilson said one after another. The duel took place at a meeting that determined the fate of the whole world. What an unfair thing.

The three heads of state fought and the duel would definitely not be able to go on. Yang Rui looked at the French, but Crimson, who was intimidated, was a little disappointed. But after a while, the conflict between the two arose again because of the handling of Germany. When Crimson asked the meeting again to agree to establish a republic independent of Germany, Yang Rui said: "Although our country is not concerned about the European issue, my country has no concerns, but I have to remind your country that reconciliation is the only way for France and Germany to get along. Dismembering Germany will only make the Germans angry. Hatred accumulates to a certain extent, that is war. Do the French hope that Paris will be occupied by Germany again?"

"This is a slander!" What Crimson hated the most was Germany. The Germans hated him the most was the occupation of Paris. This was the wound on the heart of the proud French, and could not be touched. "I want to duel with you, in the name of God!"

"Use a sword or a gun?" Yang Rui asked again.

"Use a gun!" Crimson said angrily. He had already seen that the other heads of state of the Three Kingdoms would not let the two fight.

"Then let's start!" Yang Rui smiled even brighter. This was almost a movie, and it was necessary to keep ng.

Sure enough, Lloyd George immediately said: "Gentlemen, we cannot act uncivilized during the meeting." Then he said to the French: "We have to admit that the Chinese Prime Minister hit the nail on the head. If France wants to obtain real security, it is to reduce the punishment of Germany, otherwise the Germans who are resentful will provoke another war. Gentlemen, Europe can no longer experience such losses. Countless children will die, countless wealth will turn into ruins. What we really should condemn and hate is the war itself, not the Germans..."

Lloyd George is a qualified bureaucrat and politician, but he does not have the courage to duel with the French. Regardless of whether the duel will really go on or not, Yang Rui dares to confront the French head-on. He can use his eloquence to regain his previous disadvantages. In the past, whenever he talks endlessly, the French only needs the word "duel" to make him stunned and dare not speak. Now that there is such an ally who cooperates with him in the venue, it really praises God!

Lloyd George finally finished his long speech with a rare chance. Unfortunately, this was almost no effect. Crimson, who did not make a duel, still clenched his fists and demanded to dismember Germany. However, Britain, the United States and China disagree. Italy remained silent because it did not border Germany. At the meeting that day, the French proposed dismemberment to be completely defeated.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me what China really needs?" After a few days of meetings, Lloyd George, who was increasingly cooperating with Yang Rui, visited Yang Rui during the recess. He could not think of the meaning of the Chinese people to continue to uphold racial equality.

"What do you need?" It was funny to look at Yang Rui, a British man. If Crymencer is a tiger and Wilson is a donkey, then Lloyd George in front of him is a rat with a glittering eyes and cautiousness everywhere. "If an international alliance is really established, China hopes to write about the basic consensus of the alliance. Of course, this is actually unrealistic, but this is the ardent expectation of more than 500 million people in China, Japan and North Korea."

"It's just that? This doesn't include immigration issues?" Lloyd George said, his eyes constantly turning, unable to believe it.

"The immigration matter is very complicated. Our country only hopes that the existing expatriates will not be discriminated against by various countries, and there is no idea of ​​increasing immigration to Commonwealth countries for the time being, so Australia does not have to feel threatened."

"No, they're just tabooing the Japanese." Lloyd George said, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or the lies.

"Is that true?" Yang Rui responded vaguely, but his following words kept the British alert again. "My country still has another hope, that is, it will try its best to keep a decent amount of the Ottoman Empire."

"What? Why?" Lloyd George was extremely surprised. China's sphere of influence was only in northern Persia. He did not want to extend his hand to the Ottoman who should not be extended. "Your Excellency, the Ottoman problem is not within our previous consensus."

"Of course I understand this. I did not make this point for Baghdad. I just out of the same sympathy among yellow people. China, Persia, and the Ottomans were all ancient empires. But they all declined in modern times. They are both monarchical countries, and considering that Russia has been effectively ruled by the Bolsheviks and Turkey's position is extremely important. I think it is beneficial to everyone to leave a decent amount of the Ottoman Empire." Yang Rui said.

"Russia has a great responsibility to rule China by the Bolsheviks," said Lloyd George. Although Dunkini won the Northern Caucasus along the Black Sea coast, Kolchak in Siberia was facing a catastrophe, all because China and the Bolsheviks signed a border peace treaty, selling weapons, and supporting food.

"The Bolsheviks were not born in China, nor did they fund them to return to Russia to cause trouble and gain power. If it were not for the Allies that had always wanted the Russian generals to overthrow the Tsar, Russia would not have been as bad as it is now." Yang Rui said. Later information showed that the reason why the Tsar was abandoned by the generals was entirely because of the Allies.

"But at that time the Tsar was in peace talks with the Germans and preparing for a truce!" The British said angrily, "He betrayed the previous covenant, and we can only do this."

"The same is true for China. Since it borders Russia, it must sign a new border treaty with Russia." Yang Rui said.

"But why not with the Provisional Government?" Lloyd George asked.

"Because the army of the Provisional Government has no combat power, they will definitely fail." Yang Rui began to argue, "Who would have thought that the Germans surrendered like this. At that time, China had no funds to engage in large-scale wars with the Bolsheviks. He chose to negotiate with the Bolsheviks and then buy the occupied land with food. That was a solution."

"But now that the European war is over, China can fully support the provisional government with us. I believe that the final return will be greater than the current income, and it is very likely that the entire Siberia will belong to China." Lloyd George tempted.

"Siberia is too cold, and Chinese people will be very unaccustomed to it." Yang Rui smiled.

"Then Britain supports China in obtaining the North Caucasus region, which not only has fertile land, but also the Baku oil field." Lloyd George was not willing to give up. "As long as he owns the oil field there, China will no longer import oil in the future."

"The problem is that there are too many people there, and Chinese farmers can't find fields to cultivate. As for oil... Your Excellency, why haven't the Myanmar oil fields we agreed on before issued a license?" Yang Rui led the topic to Myanmar.

"Local... cough... the local situation is very complicated..." Lloyd George coughed, then took another sip of coffee and praised: "I really didn't expect that the coffee here is actually good!"

The British looked at him, and Yang Rui could only remain silent. He believed that the British would still raise the topic. Sure enough, Lloyd George, who put down the cup, said: "Your Excellency, Britain is not a dictatorial country like Germany. We respect the interests and positions of the indigenous people. Whether white, yellow or black people, they respect their interests and positions. What we really need is a business partner who is willing to trade and abide by trade rules. However, Germany is not like this, and the French are not like this. Because we cannot brutally ask the indigenous people of Myanmar to accept the fact that the land under their feet will be sold to foreigners, so..."

The British shirked it very simply, and he quickly turned to the original topic: "What conditions are needed to be China willing to send troops to help the Kolchak government? According to the news, they will soon be finished."

"This is very difficult. First of all, the CSR has agreed to sign a peace treaty with the Bolsheviks and insisted on not interfering in the Russian revolution. You should not ask me what conditions I want, but should help me think about how to get the representatives of the CSR to agree to send troops to help the Kolchak government." Yang Rui replied, and then he turned the topic back. "My country is not for interests, but for sympathy. I hope that your country can retain a decent amount of the Ottoman Empire, otherwise they will turn to the Bolsheviks."
Chapter completed!
