Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 374 113 Chen Muwu walked away

Chen Muwu didn't know Wang Jingqi's origins, nor the various grievances and twists and turns behind him and Chen Lu.

Now Chen Muwu is just a little worried about the blue circular badge hanging on Wang Jingqi's chest.

If this was before 1927, Chen Muwu could still comfort himself. Maybe the other party responded to the Prime Minister's call and joined the steamed bun baking party in his personal capacity.

But it was now 1927, and even though two tragedies had just occurred in the first half of the year, Wang Jingqi still wore this badge prominently on his chest, which made Chen Muwu feel very unhappy.

The affection came from his heart, and even his expression showed the indifference of the minister to Belgium who was rushing to the door.

"The meeting is of a tight schedule. I wonder why Your Excellency the Prince came to visit suddenly today?"

"Dr. Chen, don't be ridiculous. This news was published in the Brussels Evening News today. At the conference held in the Solvay Palace, two participants won this year's Nobel Prize. One of them Isn’t it Mr. Zhao who is standing next to you?”

Huh, the news is pretty good.

It seems that the other party is mainly here for Zhao Zhongyao, who has just won the award. Chen Muwu is not the protagonist of today's meeting.

It just so happened that he didn't want to have too much contact with Wang Jingqi, so he simply turned sideways and let Zhao Zhongyao out.

After the two people sat down, Wang Jingqi said a lot of compliments, probably saying that winning the Nobel Prize was bringing glory to the country, and that Zhao Zhongyao - including Chen Muwu - were the pride of the country.

His back-and-forth chatter had already made Chen Muwu very impatient.

Then the minister to Belgium made his request at the end. At the end of his words, Wang Jingqi asked Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao if they could issue a statement saying that the two of them are now distributed in China. Of the two governments, support the one in the south.

Although on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, the southern troops were victorious and captured one city after another.

However, today's international public opinion is still more inclined to support the Beiyang government in the north.

This is because President Yuan forced the little emperor in the Forbidden City to abdicate, and the Beiyang government became more legal in the inheritance of Chinese power.

Including envoys stationed all over the world, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang government has not paid wages for several years or several months at least, all these envoys have done is to protest at home and never thought of negotiating with the South. of rebels.

I remember that when he visited Rome in Italy at the beginning of the year, Chen Muwu also met with his old acquaintance Zhu Zhaoxin who had been promoted to the Republic of China's Minister to Italy at that time.

Zhu Zhaoxin complained bitterly to Chen Muwu. Three out of ten sentences were about complaining that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not doing personnel work and was holding back the funds of embassies and consulates around the world.

He said that if things continued like this, he would organize all the ministers in Europe to resign and return home to demand salaries and wages from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that had embezzled funds.

I don’t know if their envoy’s salary request group finally made it.

It seems that Minister Wang Jingqi is not short of funds. He even wears a badge on his chest.

Chen Muwu didn't know at all - of course he had no interest in knowing that Wang Jingqi had been a member of the steamed bun party a long time ago.

It is estimated that Wang Jingqi had already been in contact with Nanfang, otherwise he would not have rushed to visit Zhao Zhongyao as soon as he won the Nobel Prize and let the two of them express their opinions.

The Nobel Prize winner is also the most high-profile physics prize winner in the world, and his influence around the world is huge.

What's more, there is Chen Muwu, whose identity is more than just a Nobel Prize winner.

Now Chen Muwu can definitely be regarded as the most famous Chinese in the world.

Following closely behind, the only person who might shake his status is a fictional literary figure in literary works, George Chen.

Zhao Zhongyao is just a pure scientific worker. When it comes to political issues, he is a little undecided.

Even though Chen Muwu was one year younger than himself, Zhao Zhongyao still subconsciously looked at Dr. Chen beside him.

Chen Muwu also knew that it was his turn to step forward at this time.

"Mr. Wang, is this your personal intention, or is it the intention from the south?"

Wang Jingqi did not hide anything and told the truth: "Some time ago, when Mr. Zhao went to the embassy to register and reissue his lost certificate, the staff of the embassy learned from him that Dr. Chen, you came to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and came here. Attend the Solvay Conference.

"The staff promptly reported this information to me. On the one hand, I invited you to come to the embassy for a banquet through Mr. Zhao, and on the other hand, I also sent this information back to the country overnight - referring to the National Government.

"The National Government quickly responded to this, hoping to win your solidarity and support for the National Government, and also sent an invitation to you through me. I hope that you, China's most famous scientist in the world, can return to China to serve. , to help develop education and scientific research in a country that is in desperate need of development.”

Return to work in China?

Isn't it still the middle school under the jurisdiction of Cai's university?

Regarding this matter, Cai once wrote a personal letter to the UK to invite Chen Muwu.

Someone else entrusted the relationship to his eldest brother Chen Muqiao, and used his eldest brother's mouth to invite Chen Muwu again.

When we arrived at Wang Jingqi's place in Brussels, this was the third time Chen Muwu had heard it with his own ears.

Wang Jingqi was very sincere in his words. If Chen Muwu hadn't known what kind of behavior the other party had after taking the stage, he might have been moved to tears and wished he could "kneel down on one knee and raise his fists with both hands." "The top of my head", and shouted "The cloth has been floating for half my life, and I haven't met my master yet. I will never give up, I would like to worship him as my adoptive father".

Chen Muwu still had a cold face: "Mr. Wang, thank you for coming to Solvay Palace today and visiting Dr. Zhao and me, and thank you for the invitation.

"It's just your invitations, whether it's speaking out to the news media, supporting the National Government in the south, or returning to China to teach, these two things are difficult for us to comply with.

"If nothing happens, please come back.

"Because the timetable for coming to Belgium to attend the Solvay Conference is very tight. After the conference, we have other schedules, so a return visit to the embassy will not be possible unless something unexpected happens. I hope I can get your understanding." Chen Muwu rejected all the requests made by Wang Jingqi, and even made the requests on his behalf that he had not yet had time to make.

Wang Jingqi and a group of people from the Belgian Residence rushed to the Solvay Palace as soon as possible after seeing the news in the newspaper.

They came in a hurry, so they didn't invite reporters to take news photos, and they didn't bring their cameras with them.

Otherwise, even if Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao do not agree to their request, the other party can use the photos taken when they are not prepared to fabricate the facts, turn the deer into a horse, and create an illusion at home and abroad that Chen Muwu and Zhao Zhongyao support the Southern National Government.

Chen Muwu estimated that they did not take photos during this meeting, so there would definitely be a next stage of action.

The simplest and most direct thing is to invite them to the embassy for a banquet and take photos on the embassy's territory.

Chen Muwu would never give the other party any chance, so he rejected anything that might happen in advance.

After he finished speaking, he caught a flash of disappointment on Wang Jingqi's face.

However, he was worthy of being a person in the diplomatic circle who had participated in the Kyakhta Conference and the Paris Peace Conference and had seen big scenes. Wang Jingqi quickly adjusted his facial appearance and planned to get to the bottom of Chen Muwu.

"Dr. Chen, can I ask why this is happening? Do you still have illusions about the Beiyang government in the north?

"I can tell you some of the latest developments happening in the country, which is that the Nationalist Government's Northern Expedition troops are advancing with great success, defeating the vulnerable troops of the old-style warlords.

"And at the international level, many countries have begun to send representatives to contact and negotiate with the National Government, promising to recognize the legitimacy of our government as soon as possible after the National Government unifies the country.

"Isn't it once sung in "Xiao He Chasing Han Xin Under the Moon", 'Advance Xianyang and become the emperor', Dr. Chen, if you can be the first to stand up and support the new government, you will definitely have a bright future.

"As far as I know, Dr. Chen, your hometown is in Jiang Province, and your usual place of residence is Jihai. At present, these two places, except for the concession, are all under the rule of the National Government.

"I think you can write a letter to your elders in your hometown and ask them how your life has been lately. Is it much better than it was during the chaotic warlord rule?"

Chen Muwu heard some threats from Wang Jingqi's words. When it came to Chen Muwu's hometown, it was obvious that he had done his homework in advance.

The other party may want to use this topic to remind and impress himself that his home is in Jiang and his roots are in Jiang.

But they may never have imagined that Chen Muwu had already invited all his family to Europe, and that he, who traveled from the future, was not a person with a hometown complex at all.

Their threats had no effect on Chen Muwu later. Instead of being angry, he still responded with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Wang, I think you have misunderstood me. I personally have no reason to think that the Beiyang government in the north is better than the National Government in the south. On the contrary, I also agree that in recent years, I have taken back the concessions and deprived foreigners of their rights. A series of righteous acts of unequal hegemony on Chinese soil.

“It’s just that starting from this spring, especially after hearing or reading various news reports about the country in newspapers, I began to lose any trust in your National Government in the south.

"You can all raise a butcher knife to a partner who has been working with you for several years, what else can't you do?

"Now the Nationalist Government is asking for something from me, so it sent you, Mr. Minister, as a lobbyist. I hope to use my little international reputation to improve the Nationalist Government's international outlook.

"Then in the future, if I can no longer be of any use to you, will I also be forced to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the grindstone and kill the donkey?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not my thoughts that are too pessimistic, it's your actions that are so chilling."

Chen Muwu's expression was very calm when he spoke, and his voice did not deliberately rise too high.

But the content mentioned in his words was very heavy. He just moved his lips slightly and uttered a few syllables from his vocal cords, which contained countless bloody lives.

Chen Muwu's words made Wang Jingqi speechless for a long time, and he could only sort out his thoughts with "uh-huh" and "ah-ah".

Because what he said was not a slander, but that people in the country who were in the same party as him had indeed done these things this year.

Many of those killed by the party were work-study students studying in France and had worked with Wang Jingqi in France and Europe.

Obviously, during the farewell party, I wish them good service to the country when they return and strive to overthrow the reactionary and feudal rule in the north as soon as possible.

Why did the party he supported suddenly become a reactionary party within a few years, while the lovely young people he once worked with became victims of injustice one by one?

Chen Muwu suddenly mentioned this matter, and Wang Jingqi felt no less sad and helpless than Chen Muwu.

Now that the other party has made his attitude clear and clear, there is no point in further entanglement.

Wang Jingqi stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he turned around and said a few more words to Chen Muwu.

"Dr. Chen, since you mentioned this matter, I will not complain and say a few more words.

"I'm sorry for what you said. Every time I mention it, I feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Because many of those young people who died innocently have worked with me.

“I admit that the National Government did something wrong in this matter and made some mistakes.

“But I must also say that it is the general trend of history for the Nationalist Government to replace the decadent and backward northern regime.

"But after all, I am entrusted by others. I hope Dr. Chen and Dr. Zhao can reconsider what I said today. If their attitudes change, I will be happy at the embassy at any time..."

"Mr. Wang, please come back."

Chen Muwu interrupted Wang Jingqi's words rudely, and then stood up and left the reception room without even seeing off guests.

Zhao Zhongyao beside him was secretly surprised. In the three years since he came to Cambridge University, this was the first time he had seen Chen Muwu so angry.

Surprised, he still chose to follow Dr. Chen's footsteps, and stood up and left shortly after.

The delegation from the Legation in Belgium were left alone, and they could neither enter nor retreat from the reception room.
