About This Novel
The Shandong issue that was unresolved at the Paris Peace Conference was finally resolved at the 1921 Washington Conference. After 36 rounds of negotiations, Japan reluctantly surrendered its occupied Shandong rights and interests, and China and Japan signed the Treaty on the Resolution of Uncensored Cases in Shandong and its annexes. It stipulates that the Japanese troops will withdraw from Shandong Province, the sovereignty of the German leased land in Jiaozhou Bay and Qingdao Customs will be returned to China, and the Jiaoji Railway will be redeemed by China. China has full power, and it is still Gu Weijun, Wang Zhengting and others who participated in the Paris Peace Conference two years ago. After the agreement was signed, the government assigned Wang Zhengting to serve as the supervisor of the "Reception Office of Jiao'ao" to negotiate with the Japanese side and handle the reception matters. The settlement of the Shandong issue was later evaluated by the consultant as "China's gain has exceeded 50%." Although it was not satisfactory, it could be regarded as a great victory in the diplomatic history of the Republic of China.
