After a series of ideological emancipation movements, the masses are open-minded and students are enthusiastic. They held demonstrations and protests, and then the workers went on strike. The government was under great pressure and was forced to agree, so Cao Rulin and others were asked to solve the problem. But they were cowardly and greedy, and they signed it secretly. As a result, when they went back, the masses burned down Cao Rulin's home, and then patriotic Gu Weijun resolutely signed it under the pressure of foreigners, giving them no face.

At the meeting, Makino Nobuaki, the representative of Japan, suddenly proposed that Japan should completely inherit German rights and interests in China, the most important of which is Jiaozhou leased land. However, China didn't pay attention to the Shandong issue before, so he was not prepared. The sudden change of the situation caught the China delegation off guard and got into trouble.

The next day, Gu Weijun made a big speech at the conference, discussing the important position of Shandong in China from the aspects of territory, race, religion, culture and economy, and having a debate with Konoha after his speech. His western-style reasoning logic and speech style made all the participants understand China's attitude towards Shandong, and Gu's speech was a great success. Except Japanese, all the leaders attending the meeting congratulated Gu Weijun after the meeting.

Extended data:

China's foreign talks at the Paris Peace Conference did not fail. At that time, Japan thought it should inherit Ji Jiao's rights and interests, because Japan sent troops to lay the Shandong-German railway, and the China government signed Article 21, so China must admit this. Gu Weijun, a famous diplomat, demonstrated this with his profound research on international law.

Gu Weijun refuted the Japanese demands one by one. He thinks that the content of "Article 2 1" should not count, because according to the principle of force coercion in international law, the validity of the treaty is still in doubt; In addition, there is the principle of rebus sic stantibus in international law. China did not take part in World War I before, but later declared war on Germany, so the treaty became invalid. According to the historical data found, Gu Weijun did not impress the participants with the rumor that "Shandong is the Jerusalem of China", but refuted the Japanese on the basis of solid international law.

However, although China had the upper hand on this issue, influenced by the complicated international political situation at that time, Japan adopted various other ways. At the same time, there are some factional struggles within the China government. Japan finally got some benefits from Germany in Shandong. Gu Weijun said that after the news was published in the newspaper, it finally triggered a vigorous May 4th Movement, and the China delegation finally refused to sign the peace treaty.

Three great men launched a marathon "debating contest" for the benefit of the country. Then, an interesting scene appeared. Every country will be an opponent with the other two countries and can join hands with any one of the other two countries. Later, Britain and France jointly opposed the establishment of an international alliance, and angry Wilson wanted to withdraw from the peace conference. After a while, Britain and the United States joined forces to prevent France from weakening Germany excessively, and Kerry Duhamel Du Monceau slammed the door.

Lloyd George, a lawyer, took the art of union to the extreme, sometimes pulling France against the United States, and sometimes forming an alliance with the United States to suppress France, which made a lot of benefits for Britain. The meeting lasted more than five months.
