    "Gun, you know that the three of us here cannot agree to you. We can only convey your suggestions to the country and let the government make a decision. But to take a step back, if the Allies can convince Kolchak to accept the current borders, you have  Do you have any specific plans?" Rui Enshi discussed in a low voice with Zhu Erdian and Kant, then turned to Wang Geng.

    "If Japan and the Kolchak regime can reach a post-war border agreement, then in the second step, the Allied Powers must declare that they will only recognize the Kolchak regime as the only representative of Russia within the Allied Powers framework, and completely break up with the Soviet Russian regime. At the same time,  , organized a unified military command of the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front, and sent multinational troops to formally intervene in the situation on Russia's Eastern Front! "

    Wang Geng took a long puff of cigar and said with a smile.

    "Of course, how to discuss the border issue, you still need to convince Hayashi Gonsuke and the Japanese government. I estimate that Japan's bottom line is to defend the current 1.6 million square kilometers in the eastern part of the West Siberian Plain. Further, it hopes to include Omsk east of Ufa.  The western plains of Western Siberia are also included! That¡¯s 1 million square kilometers more!¡± Wang Geng further analyzed.

    "What about China? What conditions does the Chinese government have? How big can the multinational force you mentioned be?" French Minister Kant couldn't help but ask. He didn't believe that Wang Geng was just speaking for Japan and seeking benefits in such a fair way. Of course,  He is more worried that Wang Geng will let China stay out of the matter and just watch Japan and Kolchak mess around.

    "The Chinese government is peace-loving. We followed the United States to join the war in order to stop the war and bring peace as soon as possible. As for China, it is obvious that it is difficult to convince the Chinese people to send troops on a large scale to shoulder international obligations when domestic problems have not yet been resolved!"

    Wang Geng spoke slowly and logically, but there was something profound about it.

    "Gun, please stop beating around the bush. Who else in your country dares to say no to the Duan government and your participating troops?" French Minister Kant said disapprovingly.

    "Really? Maybe there isn't one in the country? But the South Manchuria Railway, Guandong Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao are all still under the occupation of the Japanese army. Although I have suppressed this issue again and again, sooner or later there will be a volcanic eruption in the country, and the common people will  But no matter how many there are, just comparing the number and strength of the two armies, they believe that China's participating troops have exceeded 600,000, and other domestic troops have exceeded 1.4 million. How can they tolerate Japan, which only has a standing army of 300,000, and still occupies China?  Don¡¯t let go of your territory!¡±

    Wang Geng said something in a low tone that made the ministers of the three countries look at each other with fear. Sure enough, China's domestic nationalist arrogance has risen with the recovery of Outer Mongolia, the Middle East Road and the Northern Federal Autonomous Region. The participating armies in China have become an army.  Despite having a strong and modern army, Japan still occupies so much space in China, and it cannot be explained away.

    After pondering for a long time, the atmosphere in the conference room was obviously quite solemn. The French and American ministers were fine, but the British minister Jules Dian was wondering, should Hong Kong be taken back?  Should Taiwan be taken back?  This problem raised by Wang Geng is really difficult to solve. Is it possible that China and Japan will start to fight against each other?

    "Sino-Japanese relations are not determined by China's policy towards Japan, but by Japan's policy towards China. In fact, Japan is an important part of China's foreign diplomacy, whether in the south or the old and new Beiyang. But if Japan does not change  With his China policy, the current fragile balance and cooperation will be broken sooner or later. Once the Chinese people wake up, they will never be bullied by their neighbors at will. "

    Wang Geng put out the cigarette butt, with a solemn expression on his face. He had made it very clear that it was time for the Japanese government to make a choice. Although it has not really come to an end for China, if it wants to free up its hands  To work together to deal with Soviet Russia and Germany, there must be an explanation for the historical issues between China and Japan, otherwise they will not be able to explain themselves both internally and externally.

    "The Japanese Minister is not here at the moment. If we discuss this vital matter ourselves, we are afraid of being suspected of overstepping our authority. In my opinion, Japan's Terauchi Cabinet is still a quite modest and restrained government. However, the army and navy within the Japanese government are quite powerful.  Strong, the impact of the military on the government¡¯s foreign policy is extraordinary, gun, I can¡¯t have optimistic expectations that China and Japan will resolve the issues left over from history now!¡±

    The British Minister Zhu Erdian spoke with a heavy tone. These were his words from the heart. With China's current development momentum, the demands of the Chinese government and people are reasonable, but it is not that easy to convince Japan, the little overlord of Asia. Britain and France are fighting in the European War.  Japan is dying, and its influence on the situation in Asia is gradually declining. The United States is originally Japan's competitor, but this matter is really difficult.

    "Gun, the attitude of the US government has always been clear. We oppose any aggression. The South Manchuria Railway, Kanto Prefecture, Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao, including Taiwan, are China's inherent territories. This is beyond doubt. I suggest that the Chinese and Japanese governments  can have frank discussions on the matter and find ways to resolve the issue, andAllied partners will support any agreement you reach!  "

    The US minister shouted slogans loudly, but the ball was kicked back to China and Japan to resolve on their own. In the US's Asia strategy, it is an indisputable fact to choose China to fight against Britain and Japan, but this kind of confrontation is obviously far from reaching the level of military  degree of alliance.

    "Gun, I remember that the Chinese government and Japan reached a tacit agreement when they jointly dispatched to Siberia and the Far East, that is, before the end of the European War, the status quo of the above-mentioned issues will not be changed. Now, less than two months have passed, and China-  If the government makes such a request again, will it be true?" French Minister Kant said with a roll of his eyes.

    "The two governments have had such an understanding, but hasn't the military operation to jointly send troops to Siberia ended? First, and secondly, if the current Chinese government agrees to the Japanese government, it may not be possible for the next Chinese government to agree  !

    You also know that China¡¯s provinces are currently conducting primary elections for the House of Representatives. When the entire House of Representatives election is over in August, a new government will naturally be born. It¡¯s hard to say what the foreign policy will be by then!  "

    Wang Geng gave a rare toothy smile, but it made the ministers of the three countries shudder. Damn, this Chinese gun is so bad. No matter how the Congress is elected, no matter how new the government is established, you and Duan Qirui still control the world's political situation!

    "Don't be too surprised. Hayashi Gonsuke is here to say this. I am also telling you frankly. If the Japanese government thinks about it from its perspective, it should understand that Japan's China policy will have to be adjusted sooner or later. It will regard mainland China as a potential  The enemy is seeking to carve up and invade and colonize. The sooner we give up on this plan, the better.¡±

    Wang Geng's voice is not loud, but it is quite powerful. Driving the old Maozi and the little devils out of China is the basic goal he has set for himself. This concept has been subtly instilled in all the officers and soldiers of the entire model army in the past year.  It is the duty of the Chinese people to protect their homeland and country!

    "China has no claim to Japanese territory. We also respect some of the current status quo caused by historical reasons. However, the idea that China will tolerate its land being occupied by other countries is unacceptable. Some issues have not only increased the distrust between the two sides, but also caused a stir among the people.  There is no help but hatred!

    For example, China is willing to assume greater responsibilities for the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front in Russia, but when domestic problems cannot be properly resolved, how is it possible to ask Chinese soldiers to fight in Russia?  "Wang Geng looked at the Minister of the Three Kingdoms with a frank look on his face.
