On August 15, Wang Hengyue left behind the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun and others to continue to discuss further cooperation with the United States, and left Washington and visited him the last city in the United States: New York!

During these days in Washington, Wang Hengyue met, visited a large number of American companies, military parts, and signed a large number of agreements, including a comprehensive military, political and economic cooperation agreement between China and the United States.[..com]

Among the series of treaties signed, one is very eye-catching: the United States abolished the "Bottoms Distribution" and returned the remaining capital and profit of the Boxer Indemnity to be more than 12.5 million US dollars as a Chinese cultural education fund.

In fact, since 1909, the United States has returned some of the overflowing capital and interests and used it as a fund for studying in the United States. Since December 1917, most of the Boxer Receipts have been delayed for 5 years.

After the end of the European War, part of the Boxer Indemnity in Germany and Austria was cancelled due to defeat.

The United States' refund had a great international impact. After the outbreak of World War I, the Beijing government declared war on Germany and Austria in August 1917 and stopped paying the Boxer Revenue.

After the war ended, China also entered the position of a victorious country. All countries expressed their willingness to be "friendly" with China in order to safeguard and expand their interests in China in a peaceful way. Therefore, they followed the footsteps of the United States and successively gave up or returned the balance of the Boxer Indemnity. Refunds were widely used in China's education and cultural undertakings and industries.

Only Japan will not give up its penny, and use this money to develop arms and establish education.

After taking charge of China, Wang Hengyue announced that he would stop paying the Boxer Treasury indefinitely and began to resolve negotiations with other countries. The United States had a good start at this time.

Not only was the issue of Boxer Indemnity resolved in the United States, but the two sides began to discuss a series of issues left over from the Qing Dynasty, including the eye-catching concession issue.

The concession has always been a pain in the hearts of Wang Hengyue and the Chinese people. Although there will be problems in future negotiations and the two sides will have fierce debates over their respective interests, Wang Hengyue firmly believes that the concession problem will definitely be resolved!

All the series of unequal conditions imposed on China during the Qing Dynasty... will definitely be solved in its own government!

This determination is unshakable!

Before leaving Washington, Wang Hengyue wanted to visit Woodrow again.

President Wilson…but he quickly dispelled the idea.

When leaving Washington, many of them joined the farewell ranks, which was something that had never happened to a visiting foreign head of state.

Pete also came. This young American officer who participated in the European War and was called "Lucky Pitt" and "Mippens' Miracle" attracted huge cheers as soon as he appeared.

Wang Hengyue looked at all this with a smile, which was exactly the effect he wanted.

Wang Hengyue and Pitt... these two young Chinese and American soldiers were staring at each other, as if they had never known each other before. But their eyes were full of fire.

"Take care. I wish you blessings in China" Wang Hengyue stretched out his hand.

"Thank you" Pete and him held their hands tightly.

Although he was still that familiar face and the familiar voice, for some reason, Pete had a strange feeling that there was already some distance between him and Wang.

"Did you see it? An American film company is preparing to invest in a movie related to you." Jiang Baili handed the newspaper in his hand to Wang Hengyue and smiled: "The title of the film has been decided... What is the name of the 'King of Sichuan""

Wang Hengyue took the newspaper and read it: "The company invested by Chaplin? The King of Sichuan? Unfortunately, it's a pity that we should have invested in this kind of movie first."

Jiang Baili smiled: "Hengshuai, you have to care about military, economic and political affairs, why are you curious about movies now?"

"I'm interested in everything." Wang Hengyue stretched and looked at the scenery outside the train: "To be honest, China not only wants to become a military, economic and political power, but also a big country in movies. Sometimes the role of movies is very great!"

The two of them were joking there for a while, and Chen Lifu walked in and said, "President, we have hired a total of 287 scientists in the United States... and recruited more than 2,000 skilled workers, and also provided Americans with a thousand free quotas to China one."

"Where is the list I provide?" Wang Hengyue asked casually.

"We have all proposed an invitation to visit China on the list, most of whom accepted the invitation, and a small number of people are unwilling to leave the United States."

Wang Hengyue nodded: "That would be very good."

Jiang Baili took the list drawn up by Wang Hengyue and looked at it: "Who is this person? Robert Oppenheimer? Jewish? Only sixteen years old? Judging from his resume, he really has some points to be able to do it."

"This person is amazing. I mean his future achievements" Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "I am young now, but I invite him to China... and throw him into our scientific environment to experience it for a few years, and there will be great achievements in the future."

As he said, he said to Chen Lifu: "How is it going to invite Mr. Albert Einstein, the director of the Physics Research Institute of Emperor William Berlin and a professor at Humboldt University in Berlin and an academician of the Prussian Academy of Sciences?"

"The invitation has been sent, but Mr. Einstein is still considering one."

Wang Hengyue said "Oh" and felt a little regretful.

On the eve of Germany's defeat, he used various means to poach countless talents from Germany, but only this Einstein refused to leave Germany.

Wang Hengyue was still very strange about this.

After the outbreak of the European War, the German scientific and cultural circles issued the "Declaration of a Civilized World" to defend Germany and advocate that Germany is above everything else, and the whole world should accept the "true German spirit". Ninety-three people signed the "Declaration", all of whom were famous scientists, artists and pastors in Germany at that time. Even Nesto, Rongen, Ostwald, Planck and others signed the letters on it. When Einstein was asked for signature, he flatly refused, but at the same time he resolutely signed his name on the anti-war "Letter to the Europeans". This move shocked the whole world.

In theory, he opposed Germany's war, but why did he not want to invite him to work in China?

Einstein just divorced last year and married her cousin Elsa. Wang Hengyue could only detour for a while and let #Zangyong, who still works in France, encourage Elsa and her husband Einstein to travel to China through his relationship in Germany. The Chinese government is willing to bear all the expenses during their travels.

I hope this will inspire this stubborn, great scientist.

If he could come to China, things would be much easier. The only thing that was worrying was that Einstein was a staunch supporter of the Russian Revolution and a staunch supporter of Lenin.

But now the Chinese army is fighting against the Russian revolutionaries.

Damn! Wang Hengyue muttered in his heart, just do your scientific research well, what should he do to join politics?

Anyway, no matter what, I must not let the Americans take the lead and dug up such a treasure as Einstein.

Everything in his eyes was not hidden at all by Jiang Baili. Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head.

It would be fine if the person named Einstein didn't come to China, but he was coming. As for Hengshuai's style, Einstein would not leave after he came.

"By the way, the British government has also begun to communicate with us." Chen Lifu found a telegram: "The British side believes that the Shanghai demolition case is an isolated and a separate incident. This incident cannot affect the friendship between the Chinese and British governments. They hope that we can downplay this incident. At the same time, the British government will also urge the British Consulate in Shanghai to calm the incident as soon as possible.

Wang Hengyue sneered: "Have your attitude weakened?"

"Yes, the Americans are also communicating with the UK about this incident." Chen Lifu said: "The UK is under great pressure now. First, China and the United States continue to put pressure on the UK. Second, during our visit to the United States, we temporarily stopped some cooperation with the UK. The cruiser plan that had been determined to be made for the British was also transferred to the US shipyard. In this case, the British hope to downplay this incident!"

"The arrogant British people want to solve this problem and are unwilling to bow their heads. Otherwise, the British government will have to face protests from the country, saying why they have to succumb to pressure from China!" Wang Hengyue seemed a little disdainful: "First, ask Brande to apologize for the ritual and compensate for all losses; second, ask the concession authorities to apologize for the ritual and guarantee that such incidents will not happen again. Brande's apology should be made very popular, and the apology for the concession authorities should be controlled within an appropriate range. On this basis, other aspects can be downplayed."

"Understood."

"Also, replace all the staff members of the Shanghai Industrial Department from the director to the subordinate!" Wang Hengyuehan said with a face.

"This" Chen Lifu hesitated: "Replace all?"

"Replace all, no one will be left!" Wang Hengyue's answer had no room for negotiation: "If a part cannot even maintain the rights of his own people, what else should they do? The rectification of the Chinese officialdom is underway. The reason why I don't move Shanghai for the time being is because I consider the special factors of Shanghai, but now it seems that it is impossible not to move them."

A new rectification plan was formed at this time.

Complete integrity cannot be achieved, and there will always be problems of one kind or another. No government can do this, but within its own capacity, it must be done to what extent it can be done.
