    "Oh, Supervisor Wang, you are too strong. You almost broke my wrist. I have to stay away from you next time!" The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs hurriedly waved his wrist while complaining.  .

    "Chief Xia came just in time. I am not familiar with the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am worried that no one can help me introduce the ministers of those countries." Wang Geng raised his glass and pointed to the group of British and American ministers over there.

    Xia Yiting moved his wrist, which was obviously a black and white fat one, and said with a wry smile,

    "I'm just here to come to you. The Prime Minister has specifically told me that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has even prepared its office, secretaries, and translators for you as the Supervisor of the U.S. Negotiations. Look at what you did to me!"

    "I'm really sorry. I'll treat you another day to apologize to the deputy minister, Haosheng. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has even prepared a secretary and translator for me? Where are they?" Wang Geng asked while looking around.

    "Later, the Prime Minister said that your English was better than the full-time translator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and said that your office was in Nanyuan, so the office and secretary translator were withdrawn by the Prime Minister." Xia Yiting said with a smile.

    "Nima, you're making me happy," Wang Geng complained in his heart. Obviously Duan Qirui didn't want to involve too much energy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a department that has always been controlled by southerners, so he didn't plan to hang out there all day.

    "Come on, let me introduce it to you. Damn it, as soon as the Americans said they wanted to join the war, the British, French and Japanese ministers were buzzing around the American ambassador as if they were on fire. They almost thought this was Washington! It is said that not  If something unexpected happens, the President of the United States will officially sign the documents to join the war in six hours! Your responsibility as a supervisor of negotiations with the United States is not light!" The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs said in a low voice as he led Wang Geng over there.

    The Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Xia Yiting, whose courtesy name is Tingzhai, is Wang Geng¡¯s fellow Jiangsu fellow. He is just a native of Jiangyin and was born in Gongsheng.

    ?? Served as a translator in the embassy in Germany and France, and later served as the first secretary of the embassy in France. Later, he served as secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing government, secretary of the State Council, consul general in Yokohama, Japan, and then counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  In April last year, he was the Acting Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs; in October, he was appointed Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs; he also served as an advisor to the Presidential Palace and the State Council.

    After Wu Tingfang took office as the Minister-General, he still served as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. When Wu Tingfang resigned a few days ago, this guy continued to act as the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs. Although he is only 39 years old, he is already a senior veteran of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    "Secretary-in-Chief, I heard that you are proficient in English, French, German and Japanese?" Wang Geng saw that Xia Yiting was not accompanied by a secretary or translator, so he smiled and said that Xia Yiting was an even better professional diplomat than Gu Weijun at this time.  Home, if we can get it together, it can really play a lot of roles in the future.

    "My German and French are okay, and my English is just okay. I can only speak Japanese very casually! It's okay. I'll be your translator later, so don't worry!" Although Xia Yiting said this, a trace of amusement flashed across his face, unlike those who were full of words.  Compared with the young and old of the Qing Dynasty, he was a professional diplomat, but language was his strong point.

    And Wang Geng is the popular person in Prime Minister Duan's eyes at the moment, and Xia Yiting is happy to see this happen. There is a great person in front of Prime Minister Duan who can compete with Xu Shuzheng for favor and add some trouble to that guy.

    Soon the two of them approached the circle of ministers from the four countries of Britain, the United States, France and Japan. Japanese Minister Lin Quansuke had a sharp eye and caught a glimpse of Xia Yiting. He smiled and came out from the crowd to welcome him and said,

    "Brother Tingzhai, why do you, a landlord, come so late? Has the Chinese government made a decision? When will it declare war on Germany?" This guy speaks very fluent Chinese. If it weren't for the beard and beard, he wouldn't be able to tell.  A hint of a brat.

    "Ah ha, Vice Minister Xia, I heard that you are acting as the Minister of Foreign Affairs again. I don't know what your cabinet is thinking. In my opinion, you are the best candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Why do you need to act?" French Minister Kant actually said  He also spoke in Chinese. Although the pronunciation was a bit strange, he could definitely understand it.

    British Minister Zhu Erdian and American Minister Rui Enshi were obviously attracted by the handsome Wang Geng next to the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs. Zhu Erdian stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xia Yiting and said with a smile,

    "Brother Tingzhai, it seems that you have a new friend to introduce to us tonight? This young man is really talented. I don't know whose son he is!" Zhu Erdian, who has been in China for forty-one years, is better known in Beijing dialect than Xia Yi.  Ting's Chinese with a Jiangbei accent is easy to understand.

    "Dear old friends, let me introduce to you. The young man next to me is our Ministry of Foreign Affairs' new director of diplomatic relations with the United States, Wang Geng. He has studied in the United States for 7 years and just returned from studying in the United States at the end of last month!" Xia Yi  Ting introduces Wang Geng to the ambassadors of the four countries.

    "I would like to say hello to all ministers and ministers, Wang Geng!" Wang Geng gracefully made a greeting with his face as usual.

    "Aha, are you the Wang Geng who jumped into the Brooklyn Bridge to save someone? The New Yorker who was on the front page of the New York Times a month agoHonorary Citizen, Wang Geng, a junior at West Point Military Academy!  "U.S. Minister Rui Enshi obviously maintains close ties with the United States. Looking at Wang Geng's face, he felt familiar. Now when he mentioned his name, he suddenly remembered who Wang Geng was!

    "Paul, is this Mr. Wang actually a celebrity in the United States?" British Minister Zhu Erdian asked the American Minister Rui Enshi curiously.

    "Haha, he was a famous figure in New York a month ago. I didn't expect that he would return to China so soon and become the supervisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Congratulations, Mr. Wang, it seems that we will have a lot of dealings in the future!"  While answering Zhu Erdian's question, Rui Enshi stretched out his hand to shake Wang Geng's hand.

    "Brother Tingzhai, which family does this Mr. Wang Geng belong to? It must not be easy for a young man to become a supervisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as he returns to China!" The ministers from these four countries are all China-connected, and the Japanese minister Hayashi Gonsuke continued to talk about Beijing.  The movie did not use his native Japanese to embarrass Wang Geng.

    "Lin Sang, your Chinese is really good. When will you send me a Japanese teacher? China and Japan are closely related by a narrow strip of water, so please take care of me in the future!" Wang Geng smiled and shook hands with Assistant Lin Quan.

    "Easy to say, easy to say! I look forward to the day when Mr. Wang becomes the Supervisor of Negotiations with Japan!" Lin Quanzhu said with a smile.

    "Mr. Zhu Erdian, you are an old friend of the Chinese people. I hope that the Sino-British friendship can continue to develop in the future!" Wang Geng smiled again and shook hands with the oldest elder Zhu Erdian. If Yuan Shikai had not had the support of Zhu Erdian and Kant, he would not have done it in the first place.  So confidently want to establish an imperial system.

    "Mr. Wang, your sudden birth makes me feel that I am really old. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." Zhu Erdian obviously had a good first impression of Wang Geng and joked.

    "Mr. Kant, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your country is a flag of the free world and the mainstay of civilization. I hope you can give me more guidance and help in the future!" Wang Geng then shook hands with Kant.

    "The free world needs everyone to defend it, Mr. Wang, our government is looking forward to China's participation in the war as soon as possible!" Kant is obviously an impatient guy!

    "Mr. Kant, Wang Geng, I am only supervising the negotiations with the United States for the time being. I am afraid I have to ask Deputy Chief Xia for diplomatic affairs with France!" Wang Geng responded with a smile.

    "According to Supervisor Wang's intention, it seems that Supervisor Wang can decide the foreign affairs with the United States in one word?" Lin Quan helped his ears and heard the connotation of Wang Geng's words.

    "Chief Xia, is this really true?" American Minister Rui Enshi was moved in his heart and couldn't help but ask, I really didn't expect that this Wang Geng actually has such great power in the Chinese government?

    "Well, Premier Duan has ordered that Wang Geng is indeed in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' dealings with the United States. He is not only the supervisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is also Prime Minister Duan's national policy adviser and diplomatic and military secretary!" Since Xia Yiting has served Duan Qi  Rui's instructions came to set up a place for Wang Geng, but he didn't dare to hide it. The beans poured into the bamboo tube revealed Wang Geng's true identity.

    "Supervisor Wang, that is really disrespectful in your Chinese terms. As expected, the United States will officially declare war on Germany tonight. Now, on behalf of the U.S. government, I once again call on China to declare war on Germany as soon as possible!" U.S. Minister Rui  Enshi held Wang Geng's hand seriously and said,

    "The concluding remarks of President Wilson's speech in Congress were: Participating in the war will be of great help to world peace, and not participating in the war will be extremely harmful to world peace. I would like to convey this sentence to the Chinese government. Please make sure that you and Secretary Xia express your gratitude to the Chinese government."  The cabinet conveys the urgent request of the U.S. government!¡±

    Damn it, I obviously taught Woodrow Wilson this sentence!  Wang Geng slandered and said seriously,

    "Saving world civilization and safeguarding peace is the responsibility of every civilized country that upholds justice. Ministers and ministers, please rest assured that the Chinese government will never stand idly by!"

    ¡°The Chinese people will stand together with the American people and defend peace to the death!¡± Wang Geng firmly held the hand of American Minister Rui Enshi!
