World War I, or to be more precise, is better for European wars. No matter what you call it, the war is over, and the rest is to fully allocate the world order!

As early as the end of World War I, US President Wilson announced the fourteen principles for protecting human rights in the US Congress.

The Beijing government selected Lu Zhengxiang, Gu Weijun, Shi Zhaoji, Wei Chen's group and Wang Zhengting as representatives of China to form a delegation to attend the Paris Peace Conference.

The official president of the Paris Peace Conference is the French President Crymeng Len. The vice president is the US President Lan Sin, the British President Lloyd George, the Italian President Orlando, and the Japanese President Marquis Nishinoji.

The Paris Peace Conference officially opened at the Palace of Versailles on January 18, 2018. The highest meeting of the five most powerful French, American, British, Italian and Japanese will be held on the 27th to discuss the disposal of German colonies and Eastern Turkey's occupied territory.

The German colonies of course include Qingdao in China. US President Wilson proposed that all German colonies and Eastern Turkey occupying lands are jointly managed by the international community, but France, Britain, Italy and Japan oppose it. After a week of compromise discussion, it finally decided to use a commissioned rule system, and the League of Nations organizes the organization of appropriate countries according to the cultural level of each colony and the duration of the rule, and according to the needs of each colony, it is equivalent to the five strongholds dividing the German colonies.

There is only one Qingdao left to discuss, because Qingdao is a land leased by Germany from China. Strictly speaking, it is not the real territory of Germany. Therefore, when the top five top five meetings discussed the Qingdao issue on the 27th, the French Foreign Ministry notified the Chinese delegation to attend, and China was attended by Gu Weijun and Wang Zhengting. The Japanese representative proposed a request letter from the Japanese government at that time, with roughly: The Japanese government believed that the land leased by Jiaozhou Bay, the railway, and all other rights of the Germans in Shandong. Germany should give it to Japan unconditionally...

Unfortunately, the Chinese representative did not prepare a manual for the Qingdao issue. Because when Japan proposed the request to invade Qingdao, the Chinese representative felt embarrassed. Gu Weijun stood up and issued a statement saying: "The Qingdao issue is extremely important to China's relations. This meeting gave the Chinese delegation a time to put forward specific opinions and discuss it. The meeting agreed that the representative would submit detailed opinions to the next day for discussion." The Chinese delegation returned to the delegation headquarters and planned to make a detailed statement on the Qingdao issue in a late time, which was that China's proposal to directly return the German rights of Jiaoji, Jiaoji Railway and other officials in Shandong Province.

The statement submitted by the Chinese delegation to the highest meeting of the Peace Conference in Paris was divided into four items: A, B, C and D. Item A describes the origin and scope of German leasehold rights and other rights on Shandong Province, Item B describes the origin and scope of Japanese military occupation in Shandong, Item C explains the reason why China requested the return of Jiaoao: Item D explains the reason why Jiaoao should be directly returned to China.

Gu Weijun said at the meeting: "You are doing your best to the Pacific Ocean Island issue, which is only a few million people. As for the major issue of Qingdao, the responsibility for 400 million people, is also extremely heavy. Japan is the expelling of German forces from Shandong. The United Kingdom, despite the crisis of the European War, tried its best to aid and other confrontation with Germany, which made Germany unable to send troops to the east to aid the United Nations. Their sincere thanks for China. However, the cedes the natural rights of the Chinese people as rewards, leaving the seeds of future disputes, which are the ones that have to fight for. This is not only for sincerity towards China, respecting China's fundamental rights for political independence and territorial integrity, and believing that China has the sincerity of peace." Makino immediately said: "The reasons for the proposal of Japan have been detailed yesterday after Japan occupied Jiaozhou Bay, and the facts have been made today. The emperor is already a subordinate. However, there has been an agreement between China and Japan to exchange for the return of Jiaozhou Bay, and there is also a agreement on railways. These documents are worth paying attention to the four countries." Wilson mediated: "The Japanese representative will have any intention to put forward the document in the preceding paragraph at the meeting?" Makino couldn't wait to think: "The Japanese government will never object to this matter, but it must be requested for training." Gu Weijun immediately intervened: "The Chinese government is very willing to propose it." Then Gu Weijun said: "China's view on the Jiaoji Railway is different from Baron Makino. This full authority stated that China did not say that Japan at that time that it was not willing to return it after obtaining land leases from Shandong and other rights from Germany. Japan had declared to China and the world that it would not take it for itself, and I have firmly believed it.

Moreover, the Chinese declaration of war against Germany has clearly stated that all the agreements between China and Germany will be eliminated due to the declaration of war. If the agreement is eliminated, then China is the lord of territory, and Germany's leased land and other rights in Jiaozhou in Shandong have already returned to China legally. The lease agreement will not be abolished because China declares war on Germany. If there is any clear text that is not allowed to be transferred to other countries within the treaty, then Germany has no right to transfer to other countries!" At the Paris Peace Conference, Japan did not expect that China would be so tough on the Qingdao issue. Japan deliberately planned to swallow Qingdao, but unexpectedly suffered great resistance, so it was very upset. The representative of China did not shrink at all because of the strong attitude of Japan.

〖Chinese representative Wang Zhengting threatened to reporters outside the meeting: "About the secret agreement between China and Japan in September 1918, the Chinese representative can make it public at any time." The secret agreement between China and Japan mentioned by Wang Zhengting was on September 24, 7th, the Republic of China's ambassador to Japan Zhang Zongxiang replied to the note of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Goto Shinhei of Japan. The note of the note of the Japanese government believed that Shandong's rights should belong to Japan, and this so-called right exceeded 21 articles, stipulating that the Jiaoji Railway should be jointly organized by China and Japan, and the police along the road should hire Japanese soldiers, Jinan and Qingdao. The Japanese government requires the Chinese government to "please agree" the Chinese government "please agree" according to the note of the Japanese government.

Therefore, the Japanese representative to attend the Peace Conference Makino asked the Supreme Council to pay attention to this exchange of text at the Peace Conference.

Outsiders did not know the content of this exchange, so the journalist of the news was of course queried, and representative Wang Zhengting answered the reporter in this way.

Wang Zhengting's conversation angered the Japanese government. On February 2, the Japanese ambassador to Beijing Kohara then spoke to the Japanese government for protesting against the Japanese government on behalf of the Japanese government. Under pressure from all directions, the Beijing government announced the content of the conversation, but the content of the announcement concealed the truth of the facts and denied that Japan had intimidated.

The government and the opposition across the country were unyieldingly indignant about the arrogance of Japan and Japan. The United States, Britain and France also condemned the Beijing government's cowardice and incompetence in Japan's diplomacy.

After Xiaoba protested, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Beijing ordered the Chinese representative not to issue a secret agreement between China and Japan. Later, after being under pressure from home and abroad, it issued another telegram order, instructing the Chinese representative to issue a secret agreement? When will it be published? It can make a decision based on the objective situation.

On February 12, 1919, the Chinese representative announced the China-Japan secret agreement at the Paris Peace Conference.

The Paris Peace Conference reached a low point because US President Wilson returned to the United States and French tiger General Manager Krimenglen was assassinated again, so the Supreme Council came to a temporary pause.

However, the representative of China still made various efforts. On February 15, it proposed to abolish the secret agreement between China and Japan in the four years of the Republic of China and the Shandong issue. In early March, it continued to post about the peace treaty against Germany. In mid-April, it proposed to abolish the privileges of various countries in China, including giving up the sphere of influence of various countries in China, withdrawing foreign military and police, abolishing foreign post and telecommunications agencies, revoking the right of consular judgment, returning the constituents and leased land, and amending the tariff agreement.

The sudden departure of the two giants made China lose support. All countries are busy drafting a peace treaty with Germany, and no one has time to take care of China. Therefore, the efforts of China's representatives have been fruitless.

Although the Chinese representatives suffered a hard struggle, they failed in the title of "Sacred Treaty" and left the venue.

In the 8th year of the Republic of China, US President Wilson returned to China after attending the Paris Peace Conference in Paris. He came with ideals, but returned with infinite disappointment. At that time, there was a wave of opposition to the Paris Peace Conference in the United States. Sure enough, the US Congress later rejected the approval of Paris Peace Conference and refused to join the League of Nations, so the United States withdrew from the inquiries of international affairs.

At this meeting, China won and lost.

Because it was a victorious country, all the subsequent Treaty of Versailles stipulated some clauses that were beneficial to China, such as abolishing the German consular judgment in China, abolishing China's reparations to Germany, and returning the concessions outside Shandong. The peace treaty against Austria also made China join the League of Nations and was elected to the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations.

But the failure is that China demanded to regain the sovereignty of the Shandong Peninsula occupied by Germany, but Britain, France and Italy advocated transferring Germany's interests to Japan. The United States proposed to temporarily hand over the well management of Britain, France, Italy, the United States and Japan, but was rejected by Japan.

The Chinese delegation proposed two proposals to the Peace Conference: abolishing the imperialist privileges in China: abolishing the "Twenty-Eighteen Articles" recognized by Japan and regaining Shandong's rights and interests: but the proposal was rejected.

On April 8, Sichuan, 2018, the Chinese ambassador to Japan, Zhang Zongxiang, asked for leave to return home, and joined Chen, boarded the bus at the Zhongxinqiao Station in Tokyo. The number of students in Japan was 1gc who went to see him off with the flag of "traitors" and surrounded Zhang. The students were angry and questioned Zhang, asking him how many secret agreements to traitors were made?

Handling several loans? The situation is serious!

Soon after, the police arrived and escorted Zhang Zongxiang's husband into the car. Someone shouted in the crowd: "Minister Zhang, Zhang Zongxiang, since you are traitor, why not sell your wife first!"

Because students in Japan were in Japan, they felt that the Japanese bullying of China, so the anti-Japanese sentiment was particularly high. After the news of the failure of the Paris Peace Conference in Paris came, the students in Japan were the first to attack, and they issued a telegram to denounce the traitors.

And all of this is ripe for a president in the south to unify the Northern Expedition with force.

What he has been waiting for is such a political opportunity.

Wang Hengyue!!!
