On the same day that Utkin stopped signing the contract and waited for news, Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang and his entourage returned to China from the United States, bringing with them a large number of American orders and contracts and news of the support of the US government, which very much hoped that an "American-style" liberal democracy would emerge in the East, and that the government of this country would be pro-American. Of course, the most important thing for the United States is not what kind of country it is, but whether this government is pro-American or not, and the US government has officially intervened in China's affairs and competed with Britain and Japan for China's biggest cake.

Lu Zhengxiang first met with Wang Maoru and conveyed to him the newly inaugurated US President Warren Murphy. Gambler. Harding's greetings and the secret invitation of China and the United States to form an alliance made Wang Maoru immediately feel good about Harding, the president who is known as the worst in the United States. This inactive and mediocre president actually proposed an alliance between China and the United States, which is what surprised Wang Maoru, because Wang Maoru knows this president very well, he is definitely the first-stirring president in American history, and he didn't do a good thing, and finally thought that he was poisoned by his wife for messing with the relationship between men and women, leaving behind the title of the most incompetent American president in history. Of course, the most significant thing Harding did was to bring about the great global disarmament, so that the world could maintain initial peace for 20 years. Now that the U.S. economy is weak, and because of the prohibition, Harding is determined to intervene in the Chinese market after seeing the rapid reunification of China, and he must have received the support of various business groups in the United States.

Businessmen's pursuit of profits, the huge business opportunities of a unified China, made businessmen happy in their eyes, and they were also an important factor in promoting secret dialogue between the United States and China. Lu Zhengxiang also said that after the presidential election of The President of the Republic of China. The U.S. will send a delegation to China and conduct a dialogue to conduct a comprehensive analysis and assessment to identify the benefits to the U.S. of a further deepening of its relationship with China. Wang Maoru smiled happily. Now we are facing the situation that an economic superpower is trying to win over a second-rate country in the world that has just been unified in a difficult economic period, and this second-rate country has nothing to refuse.

After bidding farewell to Wang Maoru, Lu Zhengxiang handed over the results of his trip to the United States to Tang Shaoyi, interim premier of the State Council, and Lu Zhengxiang was worried about whether he would continue to serve as foreign minister, but he could not ask Tang Shaoyi. After all, he has been away from China for a long time, and the prime minister was Jin Yunpeng before he went to the United States.

Soon after Lu Zhengxiang returned home, Yang Du came to visit. The two are old acquaintances, so they can naturally chat deeply, Yang Du smiled and said: "Whether you can continue to serve, you don't need to ask Premier Tang." It depends on the attitude of Xiushuai. Yang Du smiled weirdly. continued: "With Foreign Minister Lu's ability, he is enough to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but now Vice Minister Gu is aggressive and should not be underestimated." ”

Lu Zhengxiang smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, Gu Weijun is Xiushuai's brother-in-law, speaking of which people are relatives, wouldn't Xiushuai use relatives?" ”

Yang Du retorted: "It is precisely because the two are relatives that Xiushuai will not be nepotistic." He whispered, "Do you know the hottest thing that happened lately? ”

"Presidential campaign?" Lu Zhengxiang said.

Yang Du shook his head. Smiled: "But it's not a presidential campaign, it seems that you came back from a foreign country." It is true that there is no understanding of the domestic situation at all. ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhengxiang was surprised, "What is more important than the presidential campaign?" ”

Yang Du said: "This is a secret, and the outside world naturally can't know about it." To tell the truth, Brother Zixin, there is a major event that shocks the world in the government in the near future, and if my brother contributes here, you will be the candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the future. ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Zhengxiang said immediately.

Yang Du said: "Russia wants to return the land occupied by the Northeast and Outer Northwest of our country, Tangnu Ulianghai and other countries, and it is officially returned. ”

Lu Zhengxiang frowned and said: "This is impossible, the Russians regard the land as life, how can they give up easily?" ”

Yang Du said: "You wait, in a few days, both the white and red sides of Russia will announce that they will renounce the occupation of Chinese territory." He stroked his goatee, squinted his eyes and smiled: "The Outer Northeast, the Outer Northwest, Tangnu Wulianghai and other agreements are invalid, if it is signed by Brother Zixin, it will be a hero of the ages, the land area of the three places has reached three million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-fifth more of our country's territory, whoever signs on it is the first person in the ages." He stared at Lu Zhengxiang's eyes and said, "Army Chief Wang Maoru is counted as one, and you Lu Zixin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, must also be counted as one." ”

Lu Zhengxiang was short of breath, if he caught up with this good thing, it would really be the luckiest person in the ages.

Yang Du said again: "Brother Zixin is slow and ecstatic, this matter depends on Xiushuai's attitude." ”

"How?"

"This reconquista treaty was signed, when was it signed?" Yang Du said, "If you sign a contract before the presidential election, you must have a big name, and if the president is elected, I am afraid it will not have much to do with you." The new president may not choose you to be the chief of foreign affairs, the new chief of foreign affairs is a cat and a dog, as long as he signs the reconquista, he will be a diplomatic hero through the ages, and he will sit firmly in the post of foreign minister. As far as I know, among the three presidential candidates, only Xu Shichang continues to ask you to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs, that Sun Wen likes Wang Zhengting, and Meng Enyuan likes Bi Guifang. ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "During my absence, there were many stories. It's just that how did Meng Enyuan get together with Bi Guifang? Bi Guifang said that he didn't care, he could delay his errands if he could, and let him go, and he would be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, wouldn't he let my country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs ......"

Yang Du shook his index finger and smiled secretly: "You don't understand this, if he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, with his temperament, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is afraid that it will be taken care of by the Deputy Minister again, who will be the Deputy Minister in the future, not Gu Weijun?" Gu Weijun made the little trick escape my eyes. ”

Lu Zhengxiang said with a smile: "Brother Wanzi's words have solved the doubts in my heart." ”

Yang Du shook his head and sighed: "Gu Weijun is a little arrogant, and he is more greedy for his official position, so he is not as good as Brother Zixin." The Ministry of Foreign Affairs entrusted this person, it is really a risk for the country, Xiushuai will not be a presidential dispute this time, but four years later, Xiushuai will definitely fight at that time, Brother Zixin, you and I think more about ourselves, and in the future, when the faction fights, we will have a good response. ”

Lu Zhengxiang immediately said: "What Brother Hui said is very true. "Lu Zhengxiang originally had a general relationship with Yang Du, but after this incident, he became an ally.

A few days later, the Russian military government finally announced in Tsaritsyn that it would temporarily abandon the territorial struggle for the Far East and make every effort to preserve the European part. However, Tsarist Russia also played a trick on the Chinese people, announcing that they would abandon the territorial struggle for part of Central Asia in the Far East occupied by Soviet Russia, and keep the territory of Europe and the Caucasus. This trick is a conspiracy of the Prime Minister of Tsarist Russia, Yakvishoshenko, the purpose of which is to splash dirty water on Soviet Russia, since it is impossible to recover the territory, why not shift the responsibility for the loss of territory to the opponent? This move of his not only saved himself from trouble, but also caused great trouble to the Soviet Russian government, and the Russian people learned at this time that Soviet Russia had occupied the Far East and occupied Siberia.

Lenin, the supreme leader of Soviet Russia, was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he learned of Tsarist Russia's tricks, although Soviet Russia hoped to occupy the Far East, but the actual situation was that the Far East and Central Asia had been actually occupied by the Chinese for more than two years, and where was the occupation of Soviet Russia. If China announces the reconquest of its territory, then it is natural that the international community will think that China has recovered its territory from Soviet Russia, and even if it loses 3 million square kilometers of land, it has nothing to do with the Tsarist government. And the Tsarist government can take the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people and threaten that Soviet Russia is a traitorous government, and we are fighting here, but Soviet Russia is betraying the country.

The original plan of Soviet Russia was to shift the responsibility for the temporary loss of the Far East to the Tsarist government, but it did not expect that Tsarist Russia would take the lead and not hesitate to lower its own price and declare that the Far East and Central Asia had been occupied by Soviet Russia. Comrade Lenin was furious and scolded Tsarist Russia in the Kremlin for being shameless, scolding Empress Sakarina for being a bitch, and this shameless act can also be done, and Empress Sakarina is very wronged, she has been put under house arrest and has become a puppet. Now, if Soviet Russia announces its abandonment of the Far East, it will detonate the powder keg in the hearts of proud Russians, and it is estimated that the front-line war will surely collapse when it learns that it is fighting bloodily on the front, and the government it works for is betraying its own country.

The Soviet envoy Yue Fei urgently received a telegram from Moscow, asking him to temporarily suspend negotiations with the Chinese government on the return of the territory of the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest and the Tangnu-Ulianghai Sea. Although these three territories had long been effectively occupied by China, the Russian leadership did not recognize their return. If recognized, these three territories will be permanently unrecoverable, which is why Soviet Russia must have reached a secret agreement with China, and why Tsarist Russia shifted the responsibility to Soviet Russia.

Under tremendous pressure, both Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia invariably stopped negotiations with the Chinese side, and they were also waiting, waiting for the final result of the decisive battle in Tsaritsyn. Wang Maoru didn't even care which side of the Soviet Union or Tsarist Russia won, they would definitely veto a series of humiliating clauses they had put forward earlier and recover Central Asia and the Far East. Therefore, Wang Maoru summoned all the think tanks to discuss and resolve this matter, and it was necessary to preempt the Russian side and take back the established facts of Central Asia, the Northwest and the Far East, the Northeast and the Tangnu-Ulianghai in the international community, unless China declared war on Soviet Russia.

In fact, Wang Maoru also has a hope, which is to announce the reconquest of lost land before the presidential election and take the credit for himself. Otherwise, he can only become the new president, and make the people think that the recovery of the territory is the credit of the president. People are selfish, Wang Mao admitted that his selfishness was heavier at this moment, and he figured out at this time that Guò openly announced the reconquest of the lost land, so as to make a name for himself in history Although he had recovered the sixty-four tuns in Jiangdong, it was not enough.

Wang Maoru clenched his fists, it was not enough, three million square kilometers of land must be taken back and recognized by the world. (To be continued.) )
