学国际法的顾维钧没有去纠缠法律的技术细节，因为这方面中国有把柄握在对方手里。他似弱制强的唯一可能，就是大打悲情牌，情真意切讲起

先毫不吝啬地感谢日本解放了山东。然后话锋一转，把一个古文明的摇篮，民族精神文化的延续，持久的和平与山东联系起来，情真意切捕获听众的心。今天的战狼们，就别指望了。

China was grateful to Japan for liberating Shantung from the Germans. But grateful as they were, the Chinese delegation felt that they would be false to their duty to China and to the world if they did not object to paying their debts of gratitude by selling the birthright of their countrymen and thereby sowing the seeds of discord for the future.

Shantung was the cradle of Chinese civilization, the birthplace of Confucius and Mencius, and a Holy Land for the Chinese. Moreover, to allow Shantung to fall under foreign control would be to leave a dagger pointed at the heart of China.

• 日本人还是在意吃相的。顾做最后陈述时，日本使团全体退场，怕与他辩论，尽管结局已经定了。 -十具- ♂ (0 bytes) () 10/02/2021 postreply 07:11:53
