When the plane landed, Song Ziwen woke up Gu Weijun who had been sleeping for a long time. [Almost all books I want to read are, which are much more stable than ordinary stations, and the updates are faster. There are no advertisements in the full text.]-79-At this moment, after seven days, the difficult journey of 12,000 kilometers was finally over. The two arrived at the Nanyuan Airport in Beijing from New York safely. Compared with Song Ziwen, who was six years old, Gu Weijun woke up with a sore body and coughing and snot.

He has always been calm and never stopped like this time. He first flew from Washington to New York overnight, and then took a high-speed cruise across the Atlantic Ocean to Liverpool, England, and after a break to London for a night, he boarded a special plane and flew directly to Beijing the next morning. The plane was not comfortable than the cruise ship, and the bumps caused by the airflow were even more unbearable. Moreover, the high-altitude flight temperature was extremely low. The local weather was hot when Baghdad landed. It was so cold that he immediately caught a cold.

However, it was a forced one to return to China so urgently. When Weng Wenhao received a telegram from him in Washington, telling the U.S. government that the final decision not to sign a new naval disarmament treaty with China, he received an emergency order from Beijing to ask him and Song Ziwen to return to Beijing urgently. Obviously, Jiang Tingfu, who stayed in the capital, did not have Weng Wenhao's trust in foreign exchange affairs. He needed this foreign exchange minister who had been in charge of negotiations in Washington since taking office and returned to Beijing to discuss solutions. The day before yesterday, on June 23, the 30th day of the Chinese calendar, July 30th, and at 4:00 on Friday, the League of Nations finally released the investigation report on the Marshall-Japan-US conflict.

"What does Mr. Gu think about this report from the League of International?"

"Master Gu, does the disclosure of Marshall's report mean that war between Japan and the United States is about to begin?"

"Mr. Gu, how will our country deal with itself when it starts a war between Japan and the United States? Will it strictly adhere to the neutrality outside the bureau..."

Before the two got off the plane, a well-informed reporter blocked the door of the cabin. Gu Weijun not only coughed, but also was tired and speechless. Song Ziwen, who was traveling with him, had to interfere with the reporters and persuaded them to disperse. After they got on the special car sent by the Prime Minister's Office in the airport, the two were relieved.

"Brother Beihai actually came here in person?" Gu Weijun and Song Ziwen were shocked when they saw the extended official car sitting in the official car. No wonder the door of the car was closed just now, and it turned out that it was Wu Jingchao.

Song Ziwen and Gu Weijun are both older than Wu Jingchao. When they heard the two call themselves brothers, Wu Jingchao said he didn't dare to be the one. He said, "The two are really lucky. I wanted to come on the plane to greet me just now, but those reporters are really hard for me to come forward, otherwise when I report my face, everyone in the world will know that the Prime Minister is anxious."

He coughed twice. Gu Weijun ninja smiled dizzy and discomfort and said, "Where is the case in Beihai? You can think so thoughtfully, that is the Prime Minister who is right. Cough cough... Cough cough cough..." He just finished speaking and coughed again.

"Brother Shaochuan caught a cold." Song Ziwen said in English - he suddenly returned to Beijing from Europe and the United States in two days. He was not used to speaking Mandarin, and he was familiar with English than Mandarin, and speaking English was common.

"Why is this good..." Wu Jingchao measured Gu Weijun's forehead with his back on his back, and it was indeed a bit hot. He said anxiously: "Brother Shaochuan must not fall ill. The international situation has changed drastically in the past few days. The Prime Minister wants you to come back just to know the details of the "intervention" with the United States. And I want to ask how we should deal with the current situation."

"Has Marshall's report been released?" Gu Weijun just laughed forcefully, but Song Ziwen asked about the report. After the report was published, they did not see the original documents in Baghdad.

"It's out." Wu Jingchao nodded. He had sorted out the report before he came, all in English. He handed it to the two of them and said, "The League of International has also taken great pains. The plan they gave is to hand over the Marshall Islands to the League of International maintenance forces for three years. During this period, the US government can continue to investigate the whereabouts of the "female" pilots on the island, but if there is no clue in three years, the Marshall Islands will be "handed over" to the Japanese government.

This basically drags things back." Wu Jingchao commented. "But in order to stabilize Japan, the report carefully analyzed the detailed process of the US-Japan conflict, thirteen of the fifteen judges in the arbitration court ruled that the US Marine Corps forcibly landed on the Marshall Islands violated international public law. Therefore, the report asked Washington to formally apologize to the Japanese government and compensate Japan for the actual losses. For this report, the League of Nations General Assembly voted 79 and the United Kingdom opposed it. (The resolution of the League Committee on Accepting the Report was passed."

"Ahem..., Washington doesn't...hem..." Gu Weijun wanted to say his judgment. But he coughed before he finished speaking. After taking a sip of hot tea and slowing down his breath, he whispered: "Washington ignored this report. American public opinion generally believes that because China and Japan had promised to guarantee the security of France and Europe, it claimed that the report was full of hypocrisy and utilitarianism, and every page was the taste of cunning and decay of old Europe. Especially at this time, Mr. Evano, Secretary-General of the League of Nations, was a Frenchman, and France had a very harmonious relationship with us and Japan, and he had previously stated that the war between the United States and Japan would cause a world war..."

"So that..." Wu Jingchao looked at Song Ziwen again when he spoke. Seeing that he nodded, his heart kept sinking. He said, "So the US government will not apologize to the Japanese government..."

"It's not about withdrawing Marshall." Gu Weijun then added that when he wanted to say something, he forced himself to endure it. He said, "It's all sorts of things. It takes some time to explain it clearly. I don't know when the Prime Minister will see us?"

"The Prime Minister is waiting for you now." Wu Jingchao deserves to be the secretary, and his 'yin' face just now smiled again. "We will go directly to Wenhua Palace."

Upon hearing that Wu Jingchao said that the Prime Minister was already waiting, Gu Weijun nodded with confidence and said, "Then I will be rude and sleep for a while."

"Brother Shaochuan, please give me a gift." Wu Jingchao replied, and then opened the window and said a few words to the driver in front of him.

The car slowly entered the city from Yongding's Gate. When he entered the Forbidden City, he did not stop, but drove directly into the Forbidden City. Gu Weijun woke up and saw Wenhua Palace and brows were locked a little longer. It seemed that the Prime Minister was indeed anxious. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, Weng Wenhao asked him and Song Ziwen for details urgently.

After not seeing him for a whole year, Weng Wenhao was really thin. His official robe was empty and his face was extremely bitter. His eyebrows were still the same, and the one on the left was hanging high. He looked extremely serious. The cup of strong tea and Xiao Xie in the car gave Gu Weijun the strength to speak, and he said aloud: "Prime Minister, the battle between the United States and Japan is probably inevitable."

"Yes." Weng Wenhao, who had already had this guess, responded softly. Then he signaled Gu Weijun to continue talking.

"In addition, Washington believes that although we withdraw from the East Asian Alliance, we are actually still one with Japan in terms of economy, industry and military. Even if we announce that China and Japan are outside, we cannot guarantee that the flow of military materials such as oil, steel, and food will flow into Japan, so they ultimately believe that we cannot sign a new naval disarmament treaty with us." Gu Weijun said. "Unless..."

Looking at Gu Weijun's mouth opening and closing, Weng Wenhao's heart only sank, but the sentence "Unless" was tightly grasped by him like a straw. "Unless what?" He felt that he seemed too anxious. Weng Wenhao smiled and then said: "Shaochuan. You are the Minister of Foreign Affairs, your opinion is very important. Just say, what should we do to avoid war?"

"Yes, Prime Minister." Gu Weijun has been thinking about how to avoid the issue of war these days, but he left Washington too urgently and did not "conversate" with those insiders, so he was just talking about his own guesses at this time.

"If the United States and Japan go to war, considering that Japan is an island country, the United States should not want us to import military-related goods into it, nor do we want us to buy their goods." Perhaps because he felt that this was inaccurate, Gu Weijun paused and said: "In other words, we need to completely cut off all economic and trade exchanges with Japan, and even break off diplomatic relations between the two countries. The second is the Asian dollar. American public opinion believes that the Asian dollar is an important chain that closely links China, Japan and North Korea. It is not important to withdraw from the East Asian alliance. The important thing is to abolish the Asian dollar."

"What is the third one?" Gu Weijun paused after saying that, and Weng Wenhao asked the third one.

"The third is that the government wants to take back the fiefs of the nobles outside the pass, because American public opinion believes that those areas outside the pass, under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government, will secretly fund Japan, especially the Manchuria region." Gu Weijun said. "The fourth is to cut off trade with North Korea, Miluo, 'Pos's, and European countries. Because these exported goods are likely to be re-exported to Japan by merchants."

"Is there any?" Weng Wenhao seemed to be in a state of depression, so he showed a calmness similar to despair.

"No more." Gu Weijun shook his head. But Song Ziwen added: "I think it is necessary to abolish dual nationality, so as not to volunteer to go to Japan to assist the Japanese army in combat."

"What?" Weng Wenhao nodded with a wry smile, then asked.

"Then? What then?" Gu Weijun and Song Ziwen were a little puzzled. These five points have basically all the Americans' concerns. After thinking about it, there was nothing else to reads;.

"Then the Americans will sign a contract with us, right?" Weng Wenhao's voice was a little pitiful. He looked at Gu Weijun and Song Ziwen with anticipation, but he was still disappointed.

"Prime Minister, this is some of the most worrying issues in the United States that we have compiled based on American newspapers and radio. It is not a direct request or hint from the Washington government." Gu Weijun did not say anything, and Song Ziwen explained.

"That means..." Weng Wenhao finally felt a little excited. He held his glasses repeatedly and said in a lost voice: "That is to say, even if we have done all the above, Washington still doesn't consider signing a contract with us?"

After a brief silence, Gu Weijun nodded helplessly: "Prime Minister, this is indeed the case. The reason why Secretary of State Mr. Hull finally refused to accept us was very vague. He did not say how to sign the contract. He only said that considering the current international situation, the president and the cabinet both opposed the signing of China and the United States."

"Then what have you been doing this year?" Weng Wenhao finally got angry. He brought down the chair when he stood up, "What do Americans mean?! What do they want to do?"

What did he do in the past year? What exactly did the Americans want to do? Gu Weijun of course knew that he knew a year ago. However, as a member of the Brotherhood, he knew very well that the reality he knew would not be accepted by others. So he had only "spent" a year to pray that God would give him and China a chance to completely change the trend of the Pacific towards war. Then, God did not give an opportunity. As the economic situation in the United States deteriorated, between war and revolution, the Americans finally chose war.

"Prime Minister..." Seeing Weng Wenhao shouting angrily, Wu Jingchao, who was beside him, hurriedly helped Weng Wenhao up and wanted to sit down. However, Weng Wenhao was angry and was even more angry. "You all told me. We wanted to negotiate! We had to make concessions! We had to make concessions! We had to negotiate! We had to give in this year, and we gave up everything we could, so we almost surrendered to them directly! Overseas Chinese, those overseas Chinese pointed at my backbone, Weng Wenhao, and scolded me for losing my life! But why, why didn't we sign a contract?!

What exactly does Roosevelt want to do? Is it going to start a war? If you want to start a war, tell us clearly. We are behind, yes, but even if we lose, we will make them pay the price. But now they don’t say anything, you don’t say anything, they all use some clichés and some empty words to lie to me. If I had known this, I, the Prime Minister, would have resigned!!"

Weng Wenhao's voice penetrated the wooden board and returned to the entire Wenhua Palace. This is not the first time he has said he has resigned. After Xu Jingxi's funeral last year, he was so restrained that he called for resigning countless times, but every time he persuaded Wu Jingchao and Hu Shi to come back.

"Shaochuan, you'd better go down and rest first." Seeing that Weng Wenhao couldn't calm down for a moment, Wu Jingchao took his own initiative and asked Gu Weijun and Song Ziwen to go down and rest first. After the two left, he said: "Prime Minister, Shaochuan and the others can't do anything about it. Yang Jingcheng tied us up with Japan so tightly. How dare the Americans sign a contract? Last time, the British ambassador said that most of the Japanese aviation schools were Chinese. If war started, these would definitely join the Japanese army to fight the United States. This..."

Wu Jingchao spread his hands, looking like our army was not too incompetent, but the Tu army was too cunning. Seeing Weng Wenhao seem to hear it, he said again: "The suggestions from Shaochuan just now were not bad, especially the matter of revoking the fiefdom outside the pass, which can be implemented with this."

"No matter what Yang Jingcheng and the others will do. If they do those five..." Thinking of those five, especially the rule of absolute foreign trade, Weng Wenhao shook his head vigorously, "Foreign trade must not be short."

"Then we will only cut off the trade with North Korea and Japan." Wu Jingchao said in a compromise. "It is strictly forbidden to export weapons to trade in other places."

"What if the Americans still don't sign the contract?" Weng Wenhao asked the difficult question again.

"Prime Minister, only if we do this can we have a basis for negotiation. If we don't sign the contract, it means there is still something that has not been done well." When Wu Jingchao thought of something, he suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't it the opportunity to do something we wanted to do but could not do before? I think under the pressure of war, the representatives of the Scripture Academy must have agreed to whatever we say. If the Lifan Academy does not agree, they will be attacked by public opinion to harm the country.

"Is this really good?" Weng Wenhao also thought of another way. This is the way Hu Shi and others have been advised to take - that is, to give up all resistance and let the United States help China achieve true democracy.

"Prime Minister. Should you ask the country now?" Wu Jingchao asked replies without answering. "Not 30 years after its founding, the country was established, and the farmers were exempted from agricultural taxes, so that they could eat and wear well. However, the people were "willed" and ignorant. The economic development did not make them rich, but they became poorer. In brothels in Beijing, Guangxi, the rich spent a lot of money, but the poor had no place to stand. The so-called right to vote only by paying taxes is simply a scam, because the poor never have to pay taxes. If they don't pay taxes, they can't make their own voices, they can't improve their situation, and they are always poor.

Equality between people is also a joke. In the universities in various provinces, how many of the rich children were admitted by scores rather than relationships, and how many of them were poor children? The so-called educational diversion and harmonious society advocated by the Revival Society are actually the trick of making rich people always rich and poor people always become poor.

For twenty-seven years, we have only seen how this country is, how it is 'wonderful', how it is behind, and we can't find any little progress or cuteness in it. We really don't have to be too nostalgic about this country, but should break it as soon as possible and rebuild a free and democratic republic."

As a secretary, Wu Jingchao should not express his views in such a long way, but now he knows that the fate of China is between Weng Wenhao's thoughts. At this critical historical turning point, everyone in the Brotherhood closely monitors Weng Wenhao's thoughts and emotions, for fear that he would really resign in anger.

"Beihai, just tell me honestly," Weng Wenhao asked seriously after Wu Jingchao finished speaking, "If no matter what we do, the Americans would not sign a contract with us, but would completely occupy the entire country, or even enslave this country..., what would you, what would you think? Is it worth it to achieve democracy in this way?"

Weng Wenhao spoke very slowly and looked very serious. Based on Wu Jingchao's understanding of him, he knew that he really wanted to know what his brothers were thinking. He nodded first, and then affirmed: "It's worth it."

"Why?!" Weng Wenhao asked in confusion. "Do you want China to become an American India?"

"Brother Yongni, there will be no India under the rule of the United States, only the Philippines. If the Philippines is all, China will definitely do it." Wu Jingchao said seriously. "We are not without backbone, not without shame, but the problem is that there is no 'flower' of freedom and the tree of democracy on this land! I can only hope that Americans bring seeds of freedom and democracy and sow seedlings on this land. For this, we can pay any price!"

"But, as Yang Jingcheng said, democracy is actually the degeneration of civilization? If a person is just for himself, then who will bear the responsibilities he has to bear? If we don't talk about a nation, just a country. If everyone is selfish, then no matter how democratic the country is, she will always be destroyed." Weng Wenhao frowned and retorted - he has read a lot of things written by Yang Jingcheng over the past year, and he didn't think what he said was so outrageous.

"For example, France is the first republic in the world to achieve democracy. Her people enjoy full freedom, but now French people do not want to work but only want to benefit, not want to have children but only want to be single. Her population is negatively growing. The government has tried every means to encourage childbirth, but the people believe that people should live for themselves in their lives. Having children is a burden in their lives. In this way, a once powerful country still has to rely on us and Japan to ensure her safety. I really..."

Weng Wenhao's words stunned Wu Jingchao, so that he forgot to refute for a moment. When he mentioned France, he came back to his spirit and said, "Brother Yongni, you must have read the things written by Yang Jingcheng. Don't you think that the things written by Yang Jingcheng have obvious subjective 'color'? He is a noble himself, and of course he has to speak for the nobles. The so-called democracy is the degeneration of civilization, and it is simply an excuse for those nobles to protect their power." After saying that, he shook his head at Weng Wenhao and said bitterly: "Yongni, Yang Jingcheng's things are very evil, so it's better to take less of them in the future."

"I just flipped through it casually." For some reason, admitting that he had read what Yang Jingcheng wrote made Weng Wenhao feel like a sin.

"It's not okay to just flip through it." Wu Jingchao insisted, "his things carry a poison. If you look at them a few more times, you will be completely poisoned. I think in a new country, Yang Jingcheng must be forbidden from spreading this theory." It seemed that he had said too much, and Wu Jingchao said again: "Oh, I won't mention these. Shizhi and I are still the same old saying before. It's harder to fight. What this country will become in the future is all within your thoughts."

"I know." Weng Wenhao nodded, and then he laughed at himself: "It sounds good to say and it sounds bad to say and it is surrender. I am really... Maybe I will be the one who kneels in front of Yue Fei Temple in the future?"

"So, the saying of Shizhi is that he must have great wisdom and great courage cannot be taken on." Wu Jingchao encouraged. "In the current situation, this is the only way to be Yongni. Looking at it from ancient times, when did he not succeed, the king and the enemy defeat? The people will understand it in the end."

"But what if Yang actually became the coup...?" Weng Wenhao returned to reality again and said that he was most worried about.

"No. These few times, Yang Jingcheng's bottom line is the law. As long as we do not violate the law, everything complies with the legal procedures..."

Before Wu Jingchao finished speaking, Weng Wenhao asked again: "But the law does not stipulate that we can surrender?"

"What if the unanimous decision of all the representatives of the Scripture Academy?" Wu Jingchao asked. "No matter what the Americans will do in the future, as long as the US team occupied all parts of the coast, no matter how hard those people resist, they will be unable to make up for the situation."
