Vol 5 Chapter 18: Bitterness

The disturbing year of 1919 passed in a flash. The theme of this year was epidemic, epidemic, epidemic, and then the conjecture about the cause and effect of the "American flu"!
The Wilson government did not sit still. If you lose your overseas assets, you will lose it. If you lose international debt, you will lose it. Anyway, it is impossible for those things to come back!
The most important thing is to guide public opinion, as long as the pandemic is diverted from the US government, it is a victory!
So various speculations began to circulate among the people, such as:
1. Accidental theory, the leak of the Texas chemical plant just caught up with the flu, and an unexpected combination of viruses caused the pandemic; (this explanation is a professional answer given by the American Academy of Sciences)
2. Conspiracy theory, a certain careerist conducted a secret research in a Texas chemical plant and accidentally happened and caused the virus to leak; (the most widely spread among the people)
3. Coincidence theory + conspiracy theory. The flu virus and chemical plant leaks just happened to crash and were then used by European anti-American forces; (publicly promoted by the US government)
4. The theory of framing. The influenza virus is artificially created, but the producer is not the US government, but the enemy of the US government. It was deliberately released in the United States for the purpose of creating chaos in the United States. Unexpectedly, the virus has mutated and caused widespread The global American flu;
5. Science fiction theory, a prelude to alien invasion of the earth;
6. Ancient virus theory. N1 virus is a virus lurking in fossils. The fossils were treated as ordinary stones by American soldiers and used to repair the barracks. Over time, someone unintentionally opened the fossils and released the disease;
7. Devil theory, the devil who escaped from Ankara lurked to the United States and then created this virus in an attempt to use the virus to destroy mankind and unify the earth;
...
I have to say that the Wilson government is really fighting. In order to reduce the pressure, various versions of rumors have been circulated around the world to attract the attention of the public.
The effect is not bad, at least much better than the previous public accusations against the US government. In order to remove suspicion, the US government even disclosed all the expenses, even the shameful espionage funds.
Wilson didn't care anymore. No matter how influential other things are, the big deal is to be scolded. No matter how much trouble they are, they are not half as big as this time!
The League of Nations investigation team in the United States is also very unsatisfactory. First, they knew everything about it. Secondly, the N1 virus is different from others. It can spread through the air, and its vitality is not very strong. The longest incubation period That is a few months.
At the beginning of the virus outbreak, no one could find any valuable information. Of course, the U.S. government has prepared a scapegoat and took the initiative to take the responsibility for the leak of the Texas chemical plant. Unfortunately, the League of Nations does not recognize it!
As time has passed for too long, there is no way to investigate the responsibility of the accident. The most typical one is the original chemical plant, which is now in ruins and cannot explain the problem.
For Ferdinand, no result is the best result! In the United States of this era, the national centripetal force is not strong. The longer this time is delayed, the greater the mental pressure on the American people.
Coupled with the severance of overseas trade, most domestic factories in the United States are reducing production capacity, and there are even some export-oriented companies that have faced difficulties and are on the verge of bankruptcy.
If it were not for the hard work of domestic consortia, the bankruptcy in the United States had already broken out. Even so, everyone's life would be difficult!
In order to stabilize the situation, the Wilson administration was forced to close the stock exchange, but this closure will always open one day. Once it opens again, when the US stock market crashes, a large number of companies have suffered heavy losses overseas and are now insolvent.
It can be said that the longer the time is, the heavier the internal crisis of the United States will become, and it will even collapse on its own. This is exactly what the British and French countries hope. If the Americans can be killed without blood, who is willing to start a fight except Japan. What about the cross-sea expedition?
...
Just when everyone thought the flu was going to pass, the flu broke out again in the winter of 1919, and everyone was panicked, thinking that the flu virus had evolved again!
Ferdinand was also taken aback. Fortunately, this flu did not start to break out in Eastern Europe, which left Bulgaria with time to respond. The ports that had just resumed navigation were closed, and the country returned to martial law again.
Well, the protagonist is not omnipotent, at least at the time of the last wave of the epidemic, he was wrong, thinking that it would not erupt until spring.
This is Baidu's pot, who let the information on the Internet, this pandemic disappeared in 1919? If you don’t remember that there were three waves, it is estimated that the Bulgarian government will announce the end of the epidemic?
Fortunately, the death rate in the last wave of the epidemic was not high. Of course, this is only relative to the second wave. After a round of the world, nearly 10 million people died as a result!
It wasn't until the end of the spring of 1920 that mankind got out of the shadow of the "American flu", but things are definitely not over!
On May 1, 1920, the Royal Academy of Sciences made an announcement, announcing that after smallpox and the Black Death, the third destructive virus facing the human world, the N1 virus, has declined and will no longer cause large-scale humans. hurt!
Reasons: 1. Influenza viruses also have a life cycle. After the life of the original virus, the toxicity of the new virus has been weakened in the spread, and the spread is greatly reduced;
2. After being infected with influenza virus and cured, antibodies have been produced in the human body, and the threat has been reduced.
The British explained that, on the surface, the flu epidemic was declared over, but the proposal of the "primitive virus" led the public to the United States. If anyone says that the virus is naturally occurring this time, it is estimated that the public can tear him up. !
More and more evidences show that the leak of the Texas chemical plant is related to the "American flu". This time, the Wilson administration made a surprise to the world.
The spokesperson of the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs held a public press conference and announced:
The U.S. government deeply regrets the recent "American flu". Regarding the investigation of the cause of the virus, the U.S. government has actively cooperated with the League of Nations investigation mission.
So far, all the evidence points to a leak at the Texas Chemical Plant. The parties have died due to accidental factors, and the case has reached a deadlock.
The US government has never conducted any biochemical research at the Texas Chemical Plant. Every expenditure of our government has been disclosed to the public, including the flow of bank funds. Welcome to check.
As a large responsible country, we will continue to cooperate with the investigation team and investigate those responsible. We apologize for the victims. This is due to the failure of our government’s work to fully supervise chemical plants. This disaster!
In the face of this disaster, everyone is a victim. The virus will not recognize people. The United States of America has also paid a painful price. In this pandemic, we have the largest number of deaths among major countries.
At present, the number of deaths that have been counted exceeds 3.8 million, and most of them are young people. The average life expectancy in the United States has dropped by 12 years for two consecutive years!
The US government hereby stated that as the site of the accident, we have an unshirkable responsibility. We will discuss the pension issue with the families of the victims.
And here is a solemn promise that the U.S. government has decided not to let anyone responsible for the accident happen. We have removed all relevant government officials from their posts and sent them to the court as soon as the accident happened. Supervision, absolutely must give a satisfactory explanation to the families of the victims!
...
It is the Wilson government that has made the choice. Now the Texas chemical plant has been hacked and can no longer be hacked. Everyone thinks that this flu is related to the chemical plant leak, so just admit it! Anyway, even Wilson himself believes that this flu virus is related to the chemical plant leak!
It is related to the leak of the chemical plant, that can only show that the capitalists neglected safety in order to make money; therefore, the pot simply let them carry it, as long as it proves that the government has not participated in the research of biological and chemical weapons.
At the same time, the US government is placed on the position of the victim. Ferdinand is sure that the flu in history did not kill so many people in the United States, so there is something tricky here.
People must have died. As for whether they died because of the flu, it's hard to tell. It's a darker guess, and it doesn't rule out the bitter tricks the Americans deliberately made!
If there are not many dead people, how can they become one of the victims? The Wilson administration knows that the American consortium is even less stupid!
In order to get away, it is completely feasible to sacrifice the lives of some poor people. In the United States, there are a large number of non-nationals. It is not painful for everyone to die!
Specific operations, UU reading www. uukanshu. Since the com hospital can save people, it can naturally kill people. The consortium behind the scenes can create a secret massacre if they want to!
Ferdinand frowned. When the death toll in the United States exceeded that of continental Europe, things changed a little.
People are so subtle in their hearts, that they can’t see that others are better than themselves, but when they see others worse than themselves, many people’s compassion comes up again!
If it does not intervene, the U.S. government will only have to pay a painful price, and the crisis will pass, and it will be difficult to find opportunities to deal with them.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs Metiev asked: "Your Majesty, the Americans have just sent us a diplomatic note to discuss the pensions with the families of the victims. Should we refuse?"
Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Reject me and tell the Americans that we will reject all bilateral exchanges before we can prove the innocence of the US government!"
"Yes!" Metev replied
pension? Complain to a ghost? Only the few thousand people who died in Bulgaria, how much money? And the large group of dead in the colony, who knows who their family members are?
If you really let them go so easily, would they have to return the confiscated property? Should I continue to pay for the loan that I owed?
Instead of this, Ferdinand would rather fight the Americans. At least there are many allies now. The Japanese are activists, and the British have the intention to do something with the Americans. As long as you push, you are not afraid that you will not be able to fight!
After a pause, Ferdinand made a decision: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly showed off to the London government, telling the United Kingdom to play if you want to play. We Bulgaria fully support it. If we continue to write, we will not play!"
