Vol 5 Chapter 15: Hapless Wilson

Minister of Health Carl "" Landsteiner reported tiredly to Ferdinand: "Your Majesty, this is the latest number of patients we have counted. So far, the total number of patients infected with influenza in Bulgaria has exceeded 30. Million, the current death toll is 4,852.
Entering December, the number of flu patients has been greatly reduced, and many people have returned to normal. However, for safety reasons, the cured patients are still under observation and have not returned to society! "
Ferdinand nodded. This number is pretty good. For other countries in the world, this is simply a miracle!
Concerned said: "Fortunately, you have to take a rest! This winter everyone can take a breath. This season is not conducive to the spread of the virus. There will be tough battles to be fought in the spring next year!"
Karl Landsteiner replied feebly: "Yes!"
Obviously, the recent epidemic prevention work has busied him. After the epidemic spread to Bulgaria in June, the national martial law began. The officials of the Ministry of Health no longer have time to take vacations. The most idle department on weekdays has jumped. Become the busiest existence in Bulgaria!
As a minister, it is natural to lead by example. Carl Landsteiner also experienced the feeling of being in power. It was okay at the beginning, but it was a tragedy later, and that incident was so crushing.
(Note: Bulgaria's ministries and ministries are of different levels. For example, the real power departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the 6th Army, the Navy, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry have to be higher than the other, and the minister can be called a minister.
The Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Culture and other departments have to be at a lower level. The minister is the minister XX. This is also a common unspoken rule. )
Looking at the exhausted Minister of Health, Ferdinand is also very helpless. Everyone has no experience in the first epidemic prevention. Many things need to be decided by their senior leaders. This kind of thing cannot be done for you!
Only professionals from the Ministry of Health can make decisions, and other cabinet government departments can only assist them. If there are problems, let them make decisions. The Ministry of Health is naturally busy!
By the way, most of the officials of the Ministry of Health are in a semi-bureaucratic mode, which does not mean that half of them are bureaucrats!
In fact, all officials of the Ministry of Health can be part-time medical staff or drug developers. In addition to temporary positions in the Ministry of Health, many of them have other jobs, and they are all in the medical field.
This was also caused by the unique national conditions. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was a shortage of medical staff. If the Ministry of Health did not use professionals, then this department would have been abolished. So at that time, everyone chose the art of being suspended.
Then he was promoted in the hands of Ferdinand again. There is a shortage of medical staff throughout the country, and he can't grab the people's limited medical resources. Anyway, the Ministry of Health has not many things that have continued to the present.
Of course, it is not unchanged. He also added a Food Safety Administration under the Ministry of Health, which is responsible for inspecting food safety throughout the country.
It's just that compared with the strict food safety, the control of medicines is not so strict. It is only to combat counterfeit medicines and the sale of fake medicines. In this era, the side effects of medicines are inherently large, and there is no way to control them!
Just be useful. Don’t hold accountable for side effects. Otherwise, there will be no drugs on the market, and drugs with little side effects or no side effects, the price is really not close to the people, at least the middle class can’t afford it!
Imagine that during the World War, all major belligerent countries dared to include drugs in their logistical supplies, and you know how high everyone's standards are in this era!
...
Compared with Bulgaria, which has completely controlled the epidemic, other countries are miserable. In Europe and America, some people have good medical technology. Basically, the mortality rate is limited.
Even so, the death toll of everyone is still quite high. As of 1918, preliminary statistics on the number of deaths in various countries:
United States: 512,000 people
United Kingdom: 20 million people (only including England and Wales), a total of 326,000 in the British Isles
France: 293,000 people
Germany: 388,000 people
Italy: 378,000
Spain: 168,000
Belgium: 43,000 people
Portugal: 41,000
Netherlands: 35,000 people
Denmark: 28,000
Sweden: 42,000 people
Switzerland: 32,000
Norway: 18,000
Russia: 560,000 people
Austro-Hungarian Empire: 312,000 people
The above figures are all guessed by Bulgaria. This estimate of 70 to 80% is somewhat accurate. The actual death toll may not be clear to the officials of various countries.
After all flu deaths are mixed with deaths from other diseases, who can tell? And because of the needs of political interests, everyone must also reduce the death toll. Therefore, the official death toll of various countries is much lower!
If you count the number of deaths in the colonies, this number is very terrible. The British Commonwealth of Everbright is the owner of 200,000+, and it may even be the owner of 30,000+. The death toll of India alone is very impressive. Anyway, everyone There is no specific death demographic.
In most areas, even if there was an epidemic, there was no one to deal with it. The colonial government tacitly chose to sit back and watch the death of the natives. Anyway, they did not know how to prevent the epidemic. They thought it was punishment by the gods. They all went to ask the gods and died. Naturally more!
Elsewhere, Ferdinand did not know. Anyway, the population of the Bulgarian colony dropped by nearly 20% in 1918, and at least five million people died in this flu!
This is all caused by ignorance. When an epidemic occurs, I don’t know how to seek medical advice, but I go to worship. After a large number of patients die, I don’t know how to quickly dispose of the corpses and jump around the corpses one by one. The death rate is low. What?
Due to the large number of deaths in the colonies, in order not to cause a larger-scale plague, the colonial government had to clean up the corpses.
At this time, the superiority of lowering the aircraft to the company was demonstrated. For safety reasons, everyone decided to send the aircraft in the end, as long as the crew dropped Molotov cocktails in the sky.
If you directly surrendered Molotov cocktails to the villages with too many deaths, I don't know if it will cause accidental injuries. Anyway, now everyone is afraid to investigate on the spot, and the fire is clean!
The consequences are also very obvious. After the epidemic is over, there will be no more indigenous villages in the plains. They don't even know that the fire that fell from the sky was caused by the colonial garrison. Many people think it is the punishment of the gods and dare not. In the original place of residence!
When Ferdinand knew the result, the fire had been let go. Since it was born in autumn, I don’t know how many forests have also disappeared in the fire. Ferdinand was so angry that he directly reprimanded the group. spendthrift!
Then there is no more. These are all fires from the sky, and there is no relationship with Bulgaria, so naturally everyone does not have to take responsibility for it!
When everyone was celebrating the rest of their lives, the Bulgarian Ministry of Health once again issued a disease warning, claiming that biologically speaking, spring is the peak period for the virus to breed, and the epidemic prevention work in 1919 still cannot be ignored!
This time, the influence is much greater. No one dares not believe it. The governments of all countries have learned how to do it. I don’t know how to do it. Let’s learn the head office according to Bulgaria’s epidemic prevention work?
In line with the principle of meritorious deeds, all countries continue to maintain a high level of vigilance. Although the virus is already lurking inside them, it is impossible to prevent it. However, the spring epidemic is less lethal, so politicians have declared that human beings Overcome the disease once!
Everyone is propagating unanimously. The efforts made by their government in this epidemic prevention work have finally eliminated the "American flu" after everyone's unremitting efforts!
Well, this time there are no Spaniards. In history, because the Spanish media first started to report, and then they were buckled with basins on their heads, and Spain internally called it the "French flu"!
Now everyone does not need to dispute. The European media has tacitly chosen the property to return to the original owner. Since it was the first outbreak in the United States, it would naturally be a pandemic in the United States!
Even when tracing the cause of the virus, some people claimed that a chemical plant leaked in Kansas before the flu broke out. The cause of this flu is probably caused by the chemical plant, and then the trouble for the Americans is huge!
European countries including Bulgaria collectively organized a group to protest to the Washington government, demanding that they surrender the killer and compensate the countries for their losses.
The protests of this era are not simple diplomatic protests. The League of Nations directly convened the Human Security Conference to discuss the formation of a joint fleet. All countries have the intention of fighting the Americans!
Well, these are all appearances. With such a big incident, the governments of various countries have failed in their initial epidemic prevention work. They have been criticized by domestic public opinion. Now some people say that the flu was made by the Americans.
Is it true or not? For politicians, as long as they can divert the public's attention, after all, compared with severely punishing the culprits, the government's work mistakes can only be regarded as a trivial matter!
The sudden blow caused the Wilson government to collapse. Now not only the US government is required to explain it internationally, but the people in the US have also taken to the streets and demanded that the US government severely punish the murderer!
Everyone of them believed it, anyway, the yellow mud fell out of the crotch and it wasn't or shit, and they couldn't wash it out!
The cause is that before the flu broke out, Kansas did have a chemical plant leak, and it also caused the deaths of nearly a hundred people there. It was only more than 100 kilometers away from the military camp where the epidemic first broke, and the time interval was less than three months. It was Kansas at the time. Soldiers from the state barracks are responsible for blocking the scene!
This is even more unclear. Don’t expect scientists to come out and explain it usefully. Ordinary people don’t understand so much. The flu was caught right after the leak in the chemical plant. Although it has been more than two months, it doesn’t matter who you say to lie?
If it doesn't matter, then why did the epidemic first emerge from a military camp in Kansas? Isn't it because they were the first to be exposed to the virus?
Even more people still suspect that this is because the Americans are studying gas bombs and accidentally leaked, which caused this result!
Then Wilson is Alexander. If you can't explain the ins and outs, the United States will be over. The angry American people just want their government to fall, but the angry people of the world may make the United States history!
Wilson asked depressedly: "How is Les's situation? Has the origin of the flu virus been traced?"
Les's face sank and said embarrassed: "No, we have already accounted for the chemical plant near Kansas. They all claimed to have nothing to do with them, and the Texas plant that leaked the chemical in late 1917 also claimed that, That leak was just an accident!
The most troublesome thing is that now several senior executives in the Texas plant are in an accident, and the person on duty after the accident happened to die in an accident!
The current situation is very unfavorable for us. On the surface, this is more like a slaughter. We can no longer confirm what happened inside the chemical plant at that time!
If the outside world insists that we are graduating chemical weapons, because an accident caused this pandemic, we will not be able to produce effective evidence to prove our innocence! "
Wilson's face sank to the bottom. There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy. It was not known to whom it was originally directed, but he just happened to encounter the flu, and it became a conspiracy of various countries against the United States of America!
Tens of millions of people have died in the world. As long as the United States cannot prove its innocence, they will be in great trouble. Don’t think that if they are alone in dominating the Americas overseas, they will have fewer enemies. In order to dominate the Americas, they have almost succeeded. The European public enemy!
Especially the British Empire will not let them go. The current flu is the best excuse. If you can't take action as soon as possible and let John Bull connect European countries together, it will be too late!
"Did our scientists come forward to refute the rumors?" Wilson asked
Les smiled bitterly and said: "The major domestic medical institutions and scientific research centers have all explained that they believe that the source of the flu is birds, but this statement is not tenable in the scientific community!
Kansas is not the largest bird habitat in the world, and even the number of birds is not very large. Scientific research institutions in various European countries have stated that the leakage of chemical plants is the core factor that caused the flu!
And they also listed a lot of evidence. The Institute of Biology of the University of Bulgaria pointed out: The virus of this flu is different from the past, and it is different from the virus that has already appeared in nature. It is very likely that it was artificially matured!
Their conjecture was almost caused by the leak of our chemical plant ~EbookFREE.me~ and it has also been recognized by the mainstream scientific community in Europe. The Cambridge University School of Bioengineering also publicly stated that they have not seen it in nature. Any similar virus can basically rule out the possibility that the virus is congenital! "
Wilson rubbed his forehead and said, "I have to believe this explanation! Damn capitalists, don't they have a reasonable explanation?"
Les smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that Mr. President, Mr. Jimsberg, the owner of the Texas Chemical Plant, had a gas explosion in his home this morning. All 36 people including the family and the servants were killed!
Wilson was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He bet that if this news spreads, the outside world will definitely cause a commotion. If anyone still believes that the flu has nothing to do with the chemical plant, he is an idiot!
Jimsberg is not a small person. He is at least one of the top 30 big capitalists in the United States and a member of the largest consortium in Kansas, so the whole family died together.
Wilson doesn't even need to track down the murderer. He can't find out anything at all. Even if the investigation goes on, it will be a scapegoat. He can guess what's behind it!
As for why you want to silence your mouth, isn't it simple? Now anyone who has anything to do with the Texas Chemical Plant wants to put aside the relationship, not to mention the shareholders behind the scenes, they must stop talking!
Don’t look at them in the United States, but they don’t have much status in the world. In the face of pressure from countries around the world, can the US government keep them?
If it were the US government of the World Police, it might still be possible! If the current US government dares to resist, believe it or not that the European coalition forces will come over?
