The melodious music of the passenger car full of immigrants slowly drove out of Huojiayi: Reading this immigrant basically came from Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, gathered at this Beijing railway station, and then rushed to Zhangjiakou in a bus, and their final destination was Tangnu Wulianghai, they will become the mainland immigrants who will settle in the local area, in the future. Miners, farmers, road builders, construction workers, lumberjacks, and traders will be among these migrants, and several new industrial and mining cities will be established in several key areas of the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, and China's borders will be further effectively opened up, and national sovereignty and territory will be further guaranteed.

Since this is the second largest, organized publicly-funded migration from the central government to the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, and the main task of these migrants is to build infrastructure, so the number of these migrants who drag their families with them is very small, and most of them are left alone and wait for their destination. They will live in cellars known as "nests" and will try to build the first real shelters and greenhouses for vegetables before winter arrives, and perhaps by the following year, the settlers will get used to local life.

Chinese have always paid attention to "relocation", not many people are willing to leave their familiar hometowns to go out, but now the central government encourages citizens to go to the frontier, and the treatment provided is also very good, so now more and more people are beginning to accept a new way of life, leave their hometowns, and go to that strange place to find a new life.

In order to demonstrate the importance that the central government attaches to the immigration work, as well as the trust and reliance on the people, whenever there is a major immigration operation, the government department will always send heavyweight officials to the railway station to see them off, and today. It was President Zhao Da himself who rushed to the Beijing Railway Station to see off the special train for immigrants.

Right now. Although the train was almost out of the train station, President Zhao still stood on the platform, waving to the end of the train, smiling, and the farewell representatives sent by the cabinet departments standing behind him also had the same expressions.

When the tail of the train was out of sight, Zhao Bei put down his raised right hand. Then he took the folding fan handed by a secretary next to him. After a few desperate fanning, it was finally cooler.

This is the second time that Zhao Bei has seen off immigrants this year, the last time he was at Zhengzhou Railway Station to see off the immigration train, but the last time the special train was to Central Asia, not to Outer Mongolia, of course, the two immigration trains have to change carriages in the middle, because those Russian-style rails have not completely become Chinese-style rails, this gauge is different. The train had to change carriages.

Recovering some of the lost territory from Russia is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. The merit is in the present and the benefit is in the future, but this matter cannot be completed by signing a treaty. There is still a lot to be done, and the transformation of the Russian railways is only one of many tasks, as for the transformation of society. Nor is that something that can be done in a short period of time, and the central government is speeding up its migration operations on the ground. The transformation of the local society is also one of the goals.

"Mr. President, I see that the immigration train has also gone far, and we can go back. Several foreign envoys are waiting for your reception. ”

Perhaps seeing that Zhao Bei was quite interested, Tang Shaoyi was afraid that he would forget his business for a while, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, stood beside Zhao Bei and muttered a few words.

"Oh. If you don't say it, I'll remember it.

It was indeed very hard for several foreign envoys to make a special trip to mediate the Sino-British conflict. In this way, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come forward to make arrangements, and after the meeting is over, invite a few foreign envoys to Xijiang to relax, which is secluded and clean. It's a great place to relax. "A mouthful... 8 bubble books show a different face!

"Yes, I remember."

Tang Shaoyi nodded solemnly. He understands too. Zhao Bei said this on a whim, I am afraid it is not a whim, this president has something to say, maybe he plans to hold secret consultations with several foreign envoys in Xishan, whenever Zhao Bei wants to do this, he usually asks the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to arrange for guests to meet in Xishan, and now "Xirang" has become a special term with a special meaning in Beijing's diplomatic circles, and diplomats in Beijing know it. Xishan is the place where the Chinese president negotiated treaties with foreign diplomats, and although the last time the treaty between China and Soviet Russia was formally signed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the draft treaty was actually signed in Xishan.

As for what confidential affairs President Zhao Da planned to negotiate with those foreign envoys in Xishan this time, Tang Shaoyi still did not know, and he did not want to speculate. When the time comes, President Zhao will always inform him, and he just needs to follow the president's footsteps

followed the president into the same car, and after the car moved, Tang Shaoyi suddenly asked Mr. President.

"I wonder how the president is arranging Tsarist Russia now? Will it continue to support it, or will it be left to fend for itself? ”

Tang Shaoyi's words are not unforgiving. Since the day before yesterday, he learned that Rasputin, the regent of the Tsarist government, was rescued from house arrest by the Chinese commandos and sent to Vladivostok, Tang Shaoyi has been pondering the current central government's position on the Tsarist government. If it was only to put Rasputin back on the throne of regent. This in itself is nothing, Tang Shaoyi has always known the president's position on this regent, but if it is analyzed in combination with the assassination of those pro-British Tsarist generals not long ago, then these events are quite intriguing, you know. The high-ranking generals of the Tsarist army who were assassinated were all figures who could stand alone, and they died. The entire Tsarist Russian army was quickly in chaos, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Tsarist government from the side, and at the same time, it also indirectly helped the Soviet Russian army to attack eastward, so the problem came. How should we analyze Zhao Bei's current diplomatic stance towards the Tsarist government?

"Originally, I was going to discuss this matter with you in two days. But since you're asking now, I'm going to just tell you about it. My plan is simple. Judging from the current offensive of the Soviet Russian army, the Tsarist army is obviously not an opponent, and defeat is only a matter of time, but don't forget, now the Entente is still continuing to carry out armed intervention in Soviet Russia, so I think that the Russian civil war will not end this year, then, my position is very clear, and it is necessary to support the Tsarist government to a certain extent.

Since the news of the fall of the pro-British faction in Tsarist Russia was confirmed, the British government immediately suspended military and economic assistance to the Tsarist government, which made the economy of the Tsarist government on the verge of collapse again. This assistance is very limited. But in order to avoid the end of the Tsarist government because of the economic crisis, then we must now also make contact with the Soviet side at the same time. Make a gentleman's pact with them. From now on, the Russian army no longer took the initiative to attack to the west. In exchange, the Soviet and Russian sides should not continue to attack to the east, and the two sides should take Lake Baikal as the boundary to make another truce, and take advantage of this truce to transfer the main forces of Soviet Russia back to the Western Front to counterattack the Entente intervention forces, and this policy is the new policy of the center toward Russia. ”

"Won't this cause the anger of the Entente?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

"So it's a gentleman's agreement, no treaties, no news to the press, everything is done in secret, if necessary. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs could even directly invite diplomatic representatives of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia to hold a consultation meeting in Xishan so that they could negotiate directly. The Tsarist government is now in crisis"

Dry, Erya refused to visit a negotiation proposal, and the Soviet Russian government seemed to be quite alive on the surface, and there was also a crisis inside, so. I am not afraid that both sides are unwilling to talk. ”

"Okay, I'll call someone to arrange it right away. At present, both Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia have diplomatic envoys in Beijing. It's better for them to talk directly than for us to do something on our behalf. ”

Tang Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, now what he is most worried about is not the contradiction between Central Asia and Britain, but the war in the Far East, he is worried that Zhao Bei will be stuck in the Russian civil war and unable to extricate himself, but now, it has been proved that Zhao Bei still remains calm and can clearly see the situation in Russia.

The presidential motorcade quickly drove back to the presidential palace, and Zhao Bei got out of the car. Together with Tang Shaoyi, he rushed to the State Guesthouse to meet with the diplomatic envoys sent by foreign governments, all of whom had come to mediate diplomatically for the Sino-British conflict.

There are four diplomatic envoys in total. They are the US ambassador to China, the German chargé d'affaires a.i. to China, the French ambassador to China, and the Swedish ambassador to China.

The U.S. government is now clearly leaning toward China's position, so China has the upper hand in this dispute over Central Asia, waiting for the British government to make a formal statement.

Today, the American ambassador came to the presidential palace. It is to convey the official position of the British government, which is a diplomatic memorandum, in which the British government has made it clear that it agrees with China's proposal for a "demarcation line of power" "in principle", but at the same time, the British government is also opposed to "any action to translate this principled opinion into a treaty", in other words, Britain can enter into a gentleman's agreement with China, but this agreement can only be known to the two governments, but not to the press.

After reading the diplomatic memorandum, Tang Shaoyi was quite surprised. Just now in the car, he talked with Zhao Bei about the "gentlemen's agreement" between the two sides in the Russian civil war. And now, there is another gentleman's agreement in front of him, which is a little emotional. "Mr. Special Envoys, have had a hard time. I am very grateful for your efforts, and if you have time, you can go to Xishan to relax after a while, and I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to arrange it. ”

Zhao Beili did a good job, and several envoys were also hurriedly polite, and at the end, the US special envoy Steder suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the Sino-British conflict.

"Mr. President. A few days ago, some of your country's newspapers were reporting on your country's powerful army, and according to the newspapers' reports, which are probably speculative, it seems that your country's army strength has exceeded two million men? May I venture to ask, what do you think of these reports? ”

"Mr. Ambassador. That's a good question. Although for the sake of military secrecy. I can't reveal to you the true strength and strength of our army, but considering the personal friendship between us and the great contribution of the US government to world peace, I can tell you that our army was established only to defend the country, and I will not use this armed force for foreign expansion and aggression. Therefore, the US Government does not have to worry about how many troops the Chinese Army has, because China is still a big land power, and the Army is the foundation and foundation of our military strength, just like the United States has strengthened its naval construction, and for the United States, the Navy is the foundation and foundation of its military strength. ”

Zhao Beixian appeased the American ambassador, but he also knew in his heart that maintaining a large-scale army force in peacetime would actually reduce the quality of the navy and air force, so he had long been planning for disarmament. But for now, Zhao Bei plans to make use of this huge army force that is enough to worry the great powers before disarmament, so Zhao Bei's next words will bring another issue.

"Mr. Ambassador, I am actually very concerned about the issue of world peace. Now that the war in Europe is over, the Paris Peace Conference is discussing the issue of world peace, but as long as countries maintain their military power, then there will be no real peace in the world. So, I insist, after the Paris Peace Conference. It would be desirable for all countries to hold a special international disarmament conference to discuss disarmament, not only the disarmament of the navy but also the disarmament of the army. As the greatest contribution to world peace and the greatest sincerity, I can first say here that once this international disarmament conference reaches an agreement, then China will reduce its current standing army strength by at least half! ”

"Oh? That's what you're really going to do? ”

In fact, according to the details of the telegram sent to him by the US Secretary of State, the US Government also intends to raise this issue of international disarmament, especially the issue of naval disarmament, at the Paris Peace Conference, and the naval arms race has seriously affected the strategic security of the United States, and now not only Britain is expanding its naval strength, but Japan is also expanding its naval strength, and in order to cope with the challenge from both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, the United States has to follow suit and expand its navy.

In the eyes of the French and British governments, the United States is isolated in the New World, with oceans on both sides, and its neighbors are weak, which cannot threaten the strategic security of the United States at all, but Europe is different, although the war has ended, no one can guarantee that Europe will always maintain peace, so if the US government wants to disarm, it is the US government's problem. But the British and French governments did not want to disarm at this time. The two governments believed. The U.S. move is intended to weaken Europe's military power, and its motives are not pure.

"Yes, that's what I intended. At the same time, I also believe that it is best for this international disarmament conference to be held in the United States, because we have seen through the Paris Peace Conference that the position of the US Government at the peace conference is the most just, and that it is most appropriate for the United States to preside over international affairs. ”

Zhao Bei smiled and nodded, this American sycophant was also shot neatly. I'm not afraid that the other party won't take the bait.

Stade did take the bait, as an American politician. He knew very well what the U.S. government had been pondering, and since the intention of Britain and France to join forces to manipulate the Paris Peace Conference was very obvious, then. The United States certainly cannot dominate European affairs, let alone world affairs. But now, the Chinese president has actually taken the initiative to stand up and declare his support for the United States to dominate world affairs, which is simply a benevolent act in the snow, and of course, it can also be seen as a reciprocal act by Mr. President to the United States to mediate the conflict between China and Britain and Central Asia.

"Mr. President's sincerity towards world peace is truly touching. When I return, I will immediately make a proposal to the U.S. government and convey Mr. President's thoughts and suggestions to the U.S. government, and I am confident that the U.S. government will take your suggestion seriously. ”

Si Dade's statement made Zhao Bei very satisfied, and after a few polite words with the other party, he personally sent these foreign town festivals out of the state guesthouse. and watched their car go away before sighing.

"Since you want to dominate world affairs, then you can dominate, only in the gap between the great powers, can the road of this great power continue." “
