In 1919, the Chinese Kingdom controlled the Beijing government, which was the Anhui warlord led by Duan Qirui. During the European War, European and American powers had no time to look east, and Japan took the opportunity to expand its power in China. During this period, Japan strongly supported the Anhui warlords in politics, economy, and military. The Chinese Kingdom was an extremely sovereign state on the surface, but actually relied on Japan everywhere and directly or indirectly accepted its manipulation. Japan lent Duan Qirui more than 600 million yen in the past five or six years. In exchange for Japan's financial support, Duan Qirui, who was in a tight financial situation, could be auctioned at a low price as long as he gave money, arms and weapons, and national sovereignty and national interests. From railways, mines, factories to various taxes, they were all mortgaged and guaranteed by the Anhui faction for various names. Japan gained various privileges and interests in China.

Therefore, the Japanese government sent a telegram asking Duan Qirui government to remove Gu Weijun's plenipotentiary representative qualification, and forced Duan Qirui not to hesitate, asking him to immediately agree to "transfer Shandong's rights and interests to the Japanese government and sign the peace agreement."

In fact, as a puppet, Mr. Duan was not having a good time. He did not reply to the Japanese envoy. At present, he was in a dilemma: the Chinese nation had full expectations for the Paris Peace Conference. If he agreed to the Japanese, he would be drowned by the people; if he did not agree, the Japanese might force each other with force and reduce their support for himself. "Ah! Why is it so difficult to be a human being?" Although he did not want to be a traitor, Duan Qirui decided to sacrifice national sovereignty. On May 6, he issued a death order to the delegation of China in Paris: First, remove Gu Weijun's plenipotent representative qualification, and second, agree to the Japanese's request.

"The government just sent a telegram asking for the removal of...Mr. Gu's plenipotentiary qualification." Lu Zhengxiang's tone was sad. As the head of diplomacy, even though he was dissatisfied with the government's actions, he had to act according to orders while wearing a black hat.

"I don't agree!" The young and energetic Wei Chen group immediately objected. He looked at the other four people and said firmly, "If anyone signs, his hands will definitely rot! Chinese workers and international students in Paris have recently held continuous parades, demanding that we fight for power for the country......"

"That's right! If we sign the contract like this, haha, I promise: once we leave the hotel, we will definitely be beaten to death by our compatriots!" ............

Wang Zhengting, the representative of the Southern Government, said seriously, "This is the attitude of your northern government. Anyway, our southern government will never agree to hand over Shandong to the Japanese!"

As a key figure, Gu Weijun was silent. Seeing everyone looking at him, he had to smile bitterly and said, "I obey the government's arrangements, but......"

"Enough! Weijun, you are still the full representative. As for the Shandong issue, everyone, we still have time to fight for it. Okay, let's go!" Lu Zhengxiang waved his hand and said, "Weijun, you stay."

As soon as the others left, Lu Zhengxiang took out an invitation and handed it to the other party. He took it and took a look. Gu Weijun said in surprise, "Russia, the United States, and the Italian representatives invited me to dinner?"

"Well, please post it and discuss important things. I think it may be a Shandong issue. This is an opportunity!" The fat Lu Zhengxiang stood up and poured tea for Gu Weijun himself. "Weijun, among our five plenipotent representatives, you are good at eloquence, and you have a friendship with President Wilson of the United States, so please let me know everything!"

"This... this is absolutely not allowed! Chief, you pour tea yourself, Weijun dare not take it..." "I am old, I am also cowardly... Alas, according to the current situation, Britain and France are biased towards Japan. If you can win the support of the United States, Russia and Italy this time, then it is 3 to 3...... and there is still hope to retake Shandong!" Lu Zhengxiang said, leaving tears, "If this diplomacy fails, I, the diplomatic chief, will not do it anymore, and I will not have the shame to return to my country to meet my hometown elders..."

"General, I will definitely live up to my mission!"

....................................................

On the afternoon of May 6, Paris was clear and clear. If someone observes carefully, there have been three Asians wearing cheap suits staying outside the Chinese delegation's station in recent days, which seems to be malicious.

Park Seung-yi and others saw the hotel door open, and Gu Weijun walked out. Park Seung-yi and the other three looked with expectation and hope. When Gu Weijun passed by them, Park Seung-yi and the other three nodded to him again. Gu Weijun nodded and returned the salute, speeding up. Park Seung-yi's eyes kept following Gu Weijun. He stood up hesitantly and chased after him.

Park Seung-ichi embarrassedly shouted in stuttering Chinese, "I'm sorry, please stay!"

Gu Weijun stopped.

"You are Mr. Gu Weijun?"

"I am."

"I am the North Korean representative." Park Seung said and looked back at his two companions. The two companions stood there and looked at them, "My name is Park Seung-yi."

Gu Weijun noticed that Park Shengyi was talking, and subconsciously rolled up the brim of his hat in his hand.

Park Seung-ichi said pleaded: "Prime Minister Krimonso has always refused to attend the North Korean representatives' meeting. We have made the best efforts, but......."

Gu Weijun subconsciously looked at Park Seung-yi's hand. Park Seung-yi realized it and stopped rolling the brim of the hat.

"We know that you have a very good relationship with President Wilson. If possible, please help us..."

Gu Weijun also smiled, "Of course I hope North Korea can attend, but our China is still busy with our own affairs. You also know that the Japanese want a legal battle in Shandong..."

"At least, your Chinese country can still attend the meeting..." Park Seung-yi suddenly became excited, "Japan annexed our North Korea, but their ambitions cannot be satisfied! We Asian countries must unite..." As he said that, Park Seung-yi looked back at his two companions. Gu Weijun also looked back. The two Koreans bowed to Gu Weijun from a distance.

Gu Weijun sighed deeply, "I will do my best!"
