【In the First World War, the war spread throughout Europe and most of Asia. China also participated in this war and supported the Allied Powers in their fight against the Central Powers.】
【This war lasted for four years in total. In 1918, the First World War ended. The Allied Powers won. The German Empire was defeated and dismembered. The feudal court ruled by the Russian Tsar was overthrown by the workers, and the last Tsar was killed.】
【After the war, the Chinese people were in an uproar because China was also a member of the Allied Powers. As a victorious country, China could demand the abolition of the unequal treaties imposed on China.】
【On January 18, 1919, representatives from all over the world met in Paris to discuss how to restore a new post-war order, known in history as the Paris Peace Conference.】
【On the surface, this is a peace-themed meeting, but in reality it is a spoils-sharing conference.】
【After Germany was defeated, many territories in the Allied camp needed to be divided. In addition to the European sphere of influence, many overseas colonies also had to be reshuffled.】
【The Beiyang government also sent a diplomatic mission. They will represent China and submit an application to the Peace Conference to return German rights and interests in Shandong to China.】
【I thought this was a high-profile talk, but no one expected that China was repeatedly humiliated at the peace talks because of its weak national power.】
【At that time, the Beiyang government sent a five-member diplomatic mission headed by General Lu and Gu Weijun to participate in the peace conference. However, as the time for the peace conference approached, they were told that the five seats that China had originally promised had been reduced to two.】
【Gu Weijun and Director Lu were extremely surprised and hurriedly went to the chairman of the peace conference, French Prime Minister Clemenceau, to discuss the matter, but they were ignored by France.】
【The diplomatic corps was so shamefully humiliated, but they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, because they had a more important task. They wanted to represent China and regain the sovereignty of Shandong.】
【On January 28, the peace conference was held as scheduled. Before entering the venue, Japanese diplomatic representative Makino Nobuaki accidentally dropped a gold watch, which was then picked up by Gu Weijun.】
【This war of words will revolve around this gold watch】
【The meeting had just begun. Makino, the Japanese representative, took the lead in speaking. He said loudly in front of the whole world: Japan made a huge contribution in the war against the Allies.】
【And China is a victorious country that has not sent a single soldier. Does such a victorious country have the dignity to sit here as a victorious country?】
【After the Japanese representative finished speaking, he arrogantly told the conference that as a reward for this war, all the rights and interests in the Shandong Peninsula of China originally occupied by Germany should be transferred to the Japanese country.】
【After that, it was Gu Weijun's turn to come on stage. He took out a gold watch from his arms and showed it to the representatives from various countries present: Before entering the venue, Makino gave me this gold watch in order to please me and compete for the privilege of Shandong.】
【When Makino heard Gu Weijun's speech, he immediately said loudly: Protest, the Chinese representative stole my pocket watch. This is open theft! Shameless, extremely shameless!】
【Facing Makino's yelling, Gu Weijun remained calm and said; Makino was angry, he was really angry!】
【Just assume that I stole his pocket watch, then I would like to ask Makino, your Japanese country stole the entire Shandong Province in front of the whole world.】
【At this point, Gu Weijun suddenly became angry and his tone became high-pitched. He shouted angrily: Should the 36 million people in Shandong be angry? Should the 40 million Chinese people in China be angry?】
【I would like to ask, is this behavior of the Japanese country considered theft? Is it shameless? Is it extremely shameless?】
【After Gu Weijun finished speaking, he glared at the Japanese representative. The entire audience fell into silence, as they were all shocked by Gu Weijun's aura.】
【But this was not over yet. After rebuking the Japanese representatives, Gu Weijun began to refute the fallacy of the Japanese representatives who said that China had not sent a single soldier.】
【Gu Weijun took out many black and white pictures. These black and white pictures were all scenes of Chinese workers rushing about on the battlefield.】
【In addition, there are more than a dozen cemeteries where the souls of Chinese heroes who died in foreign countries are buried.】
【Gu Weijun told everyone: China sent hundreds of thousands of workers, and the number of workers who went to France alone was 140,000. They were spread in every corner of the battlefield.】
【Like all soldiers of the victorious countries, they shed blood and sacrificed their lives. What did they do for? Just to win this war and get back the peace and tranquility of our homeland】
【No one or any country should ignore China’s bloodshed and sacrifices】
【Finally, Gu Weijun firmly expressed China’s attitude towards Shandong to the whole world: Shandong has been the cradle of Chinese culture since ancient times.】
【The Chinese saints Confucius and Mencius were born in this land. Confucius is like the Jesus of the West.
【Shandong belongs to China, both economically and strategically, as well as religiously and culturally.】
【China cannot lose Shandong, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!】
【As soon as Gu Weijun finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Representatives from many countries were impressed by Gu Weijun's speech.】
【However, although Gu Weijun argued hard at the meeting, the peace conference decided to agree to the Japanese request, cede Qingdao, Shandong, to the Japanese, and transfer all German privileges in Shandong to the Japanese.】
【Weak countries have no diplomacy. Britain, France, the United States and other countries are afraid of the power of Japan and jointly put pressure on the Beiyang government, asking the Beiyang government to sign the Paris Peace Conference contract.】
【When the decision of the Paris Peace Conference spread from Paris to China, the whole country was in an uproar. All the people did not understand. They had obviously won the war and Germany had been defeated, but why was Qingdao lost? Shandong will also be lost】
【Why? Why all this?】
【Forty million people across the country were angry, and countless people took to the streets to express their indignation.】
【On May 4, 1919, an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal student movement broke out in China. Students in Beijing went on strike, followed by rapid responses in Tianjin, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places.】
【Countless workers went on strike and students went on strike. They tried to force the Beiyang government and refused to sign the Paris Peace Conference.】
【However, the Beiyang government was jointly pressured by Britain, France, the United States, and Japan and did not dare to resist.】
【The diplomatic mission in Paris was under tremendous pressure. The Beiyang government forced them to sign and not to conflict with the Japanese at the peace conference.】
【When General Secretary Lu saw the contents of the Paris Peace Treaty, he broke down and cried: I am a cowardly person. I do not have the courage to refuse to sign, but my conscience does not allow me to sign, and I cannot become a sinner of the nation!】
【Gu Weijun persuaded General Director Lu to go to Britain, France and other countries to try again, but in the end, he was rejected again.】
【Britain, France and other countries told Gu Weijun that he must sign the treaty, otherwise he would face more severe penalties.】
【Gu Weijun is desperate】
【On June 28, 1919, Gu Weijun walked into the venue. Representatives from various countries signed the proposed treaty one after another. Only Gu Weijun was left standing tall.】
【Gu Weijun looked around and spoke at the peace conference for the last time: I am very disappointed that the Supreme Committee ignored the existence of the Chinese people and betrayed China as a victorious country.】
【I'm very angry, why do you think so? Why should we give China's Shandong Province to the Japanese?】
【The Chinese people have done their utmost to be benevolent and righteous. I would like to ask, who can accept such a contract that is humiliating and humiliating the country?】
【so! We refuse to sign!! Please remember!!】
【Please remember!!! The Chinese people will never forget and will never forget!! This sad day】
【In the end, Gu Bingjun refused to sign the contract, and China became the only victorious country that did not sign at the Paris Peace Conference.】
【Until the end of the peace conference, Gu Weijun and others did not receive news that the Beiyang government refused to sign. However, the Beiyang government's inaction may chill the hearts of the Chinese people, but it will never extinguish the bloody spirit engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.】
【In 1919, China's modern history was divided into two parts. It was in this year that countless people woke up and the New Democratic Revolution began!】
"Why do I always cry when I see this place? I, China, will never forget this day, forever!"
"China cannot lose Shandong, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!!"
"Gentleman!"
"The territory of our ancestors must be defended to the death, and we must not compromise it with others!"
"China has sacrificed so many workers, but only received a humiliating contract. Who can not be angry? Who can not be chilled?!"
Great Qin, the plane of Qin Xiaogong.
Ying Quliang, with gray beard and hair, looked at the helpless and desperate Chinese diplomatic mission, and felt a burning anger in his chest.
"A weak country has no diplomacy!!"
Qin Xiaogong thought of the bloody battle in Hexi. The great Qin Erlang was wantonly massacred by the Wei State, but he could only swallow his anger, break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. What a shame it was? The country was weak, and everyone could only bully it.
At that time At that moment, it was exactly this moment.
Even though Gu Weijun argued hard at the peace conference, even though he was speechless when he refuted the opponent, even though he won applause, it ended miserably because of the country's weakness.
Shame, this It is a disgrace to the Beiyang government and even more to China!!
"Mr. Shang, is there anything we can do to save China’s national destiny?"
Qin Xiaogong wanted to do something for future generations. He looked at Shang Yang expectantly, but Shang Yang could only shake his head.
"Your Majesty, the future is too far away and we cannot affect China thousands of years from now."
"Alas, we in China have suffered so much!"......Dividing line......
