Chapter 783: Final counterattack

France and Russia want to restore their vitality. Austria is busy developing the Near East. The three major European countries are very busy and have no energy to do things.
The general environment is so, and the British have not fumbled. The international situation eased all of a sudden, and the smell of smoke was gradually fading away from the European continent over time.
Franz is in a good mood, and if nothing else, he will rise another generation in a few months.
As people get older, their perceptions will change, and Franz is no exception. Although the expectation of holding grandchildren is not as high as that of Queen Helen, it is not low.
The royal family needs an heir, although Crown Prince Frederick is not too old, but such things should happen sooner rather than later.
Countless eyes are staring at the outside world, and the early birth of the third generation can also give everyone an early peace of mind.
The happy time is always short. When seeing the rushing Prime Minister Felix, Franz knew that trouble had come to him again.
"Your Majesty, something happened in the Asia Minor Peninsula."
Hearing "Asia Minor Peninsula", Franz's expression was tense.
The Near East Development is the most important strategy of the Vienna government for the next ten years. After completing this strategy, Austria's strategic security will be fundamentally improved.
The Asia Minor Peninsula, which is located at the junction of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the three continents, has always been a battleground for soldiers. The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire controlled this area, and then they dominated the Mediterranean and looked at Asia, Europe, and Africa.
The same is true here in Austria. As long as you control the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Middle East ’s oil and Africa ’s resources are in the bag. Naturally, it has become the core of the development strategy of the Near East.
In addition to high value, there is another important factor is safety, which is very suitable as a rear.
The Caucasus is not suitable for large-scale regiments. The Russians cannot come over the mountains; Armenia and Persia are small beans and cannot be a threat.
Threats at sea exist temporarily, but with the development of technology, they will soon cease to be threats.
Although the plane has just started, it will be okay to reach World War I level ten years later.
Regardless of the power of the bombing, even if a machine gun is installed to shoot down from the sky, it can also play a role in naval battles.
After all, the Austrian Navy is not weak, and there are guys in the sky who can cooperate and keep it at the door.
Franz asked with concern: "What happened?"
After taking a sigh of relief, Prime Minister Felix replied: "A large-scale plague has occurred in Ankara and it is spreading to all sides. Many people in the Russian army responsible for immigration have also been infected.
In order to curb the spread of the epidemic, the Tsarist government has decided to suspend immigration, which will directly affect our Near East development plan. "
It also takes time to relocate the people. All four or five million people add up to it. Russians no longer care about immigration, or send people away in a short time.
Franz asked with concern: "Is the source of the plague confirmed? Was it just discovered or did it exist long ago and the Russians didn't pay much attention to it?"
There was a pandemic after the war. This is a natural law. During the Near East War, Austria also found many outbreaks, but they were all contained.
Most plagues are "coming fast and going fast." As long as the source of the disease is blocked and the spread of the virus is stopped, things will soon pass.
Felix shook his head: "The source of the transmission is uncertain. However, the epidemic did occur long ago, but the Russians did not take it seriously.
At first, the senior officials of the Russian army took it for granted that the soldiers were sick and unconvinced. It was not until the number of sick officers in the back was increasing.
According to the information reported by the Russians, so far, more than 5,000 soldiers and soldiers have fallen ill. How many people have been infected with the plague cannot be determined. "
Hearing this explanation, Franz was speechless. He has nothing to say about the carelessness of the Russians.
Of course, the Russian military may also be wronged. Not just returning home to participate in the celebration party, which was delayed for more than ten days. Even before Christmas, we rushed over. Who knows how a plague suddenly broke out?
"The troops in the Near East were ordered to do a good job in epidemic prevention. The immigration plan was postponed for a while and the Russians were told to investigate the cause as soon as possible."
As a great empire, the Russians also have to face. Unless the epidemic is completely out of control, such a trivial matter will certainly not ask the outside world for help.
If you really get out of control, asking for help is useless. In terms of medical technology these days, no one has the ability to cure the plague.
No, antibiotics, which are more expensive than gold, are still effective against some plague viruses. The Austrian army has experienced them.
...
Ankara, Lieutenant General Auginets in charge of this area, looked at the investigation report with a blue face.
If anyone notices, he will start to sweat on his forehead.
In the cold winter, the sweat suddenly started on the forehead, obviously not a trivial matter.
"Are you sure it's plague?"
Despite accepting the facts, Lieutenant-General Auchenets has one last fantasy. There is no way, "Plague" is too scary, enough for anyone in this era to smell the wind and change color.
Koremija, the medic in charge of the accident investigation, frowned and replied, "Lord Lieutenant, please don't doubt our professionalism."
"Sorry, it's just that it's too big, and for a while I'm having a hard time accepting it."
After speaking, Lieutenant General Auginets wiped away the sweat on his forehead, and his image could not be considered.
Kozhemyaka said slowly, "In view of the current situation, I don't think the Ankara area is suitable for continued military presence.
Even the entire Asia Minor Peninsula is in serious danger. In order to curb the plague, it is best to block the peninsula. "
treatment?
nonexistent. To be able to take good care of officers, that's all super level play. Ordinary soldiers give up a little medicine, and then let it be.
As for ordinary people, it is completely out of consideration. Moving these people to Siberia also costs money. If these people were taken away by the virus, the Tsarist government could save a fortune.
Lieutenant General Auginets nodded: "I will report as you suggest. The final result will have to wait for St. Petersburg to decide."
You can tell from his tone that Lieutenant General Auginets has no fear of being rejected. The word "plague" is enough to panic the European world.
Black Plague is also a type of plague. Despite the fact that hundreds of years have passed, the prestige of Black Plague remains.
The Vienna government used this as an excuse to relocate the Ottoman population, but did not expect that the "plague" really broke out.
...
The news of the "plague" is still at the top of the Russian army. What should ordinary soldiers do? There is not so much mental stress.
Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing. The Russian soldier Valentin who was patrolling was a little bit sore, and several mice ran past him, successfully attracting his attention.
He said to his companion, "Vitariya, have you noticed that the mice we often see recently are particularly big?"
Vitalier replied disdainfully, "Isn't it big, is it fat? Well, look at their speed, they are not as fast as the mice in our hometown."
Valentin nodded in agreement: "It's true. Ottomans are so extravagant that even mice are so fat."
Vitalier joked: "You're really joking. Now they are almost out of food. Who has food to feed the mice?"
Valentin reluctantly said, "Who knows? Anyway, these mice are really fat. If you follow them, maybe you can send them a lot. Anyway, you are idle."
Looting is an important income for Russian soldiers. Ankara was naturally ransacked by the Russian army. However, there are always missing corners in such a large city.
From time to time, there are lucky people who discover these missing wealth and become rich.
Although Valentin had never encountered such a good thing, he heard a lot of it.
Vitalier nodded in agreement: "Come on, then, I see that the mouse enters from the left."
Needless to say, as qualified Russian soldiers, they naturally entered.
Respecting private property, that's all too much thinking. All the Ottomans who have left the country will be wiped out by Russian soldiers.
The deeper it got, the more Vitalier felt wrong. Although no corpse was seen, the pungent carrion smell had already come to the face.
Vitariya complained: "Damn, it's not a off. You didn't deal with the body to be lazy!"
Valentin nodded in agreement: "Most of the time, I will definitely report it when I go back, so that this miscellaneous will receive the due punishment."
Dealing with corpses is also a compulsory course for the army. Lazy on this, that is, joking about the safety of everyone's lives.
Even the Russians, who have always paid little attention to military discipline, are very strict in this regard-"reporting rewards, hiding conspiracy".
In addition to arresting the enemy and maintaining order in the city, the patrol also has an important task to deal with the bodies of the leaked nets.
Although this thing is disgusting, it is not unacceptable in the face of Ruble.
After searching for nothing, Vitalier covered his nose with his hand and said, "The smell came from here, and there were no corpses outside.
The dust on the debris is already very thick. It should be uninhabited for a long time, and there may be a basement.
Look carefully, maybe there are unexpected gains. "
Wallianjing frowned: "Let's not forget it! It's too stinky. It is estimated that the corpses are rotten and it is very troublesome to handle.
Anyway, so remote here, few people will come and will not be found. "
Vitalye was unhappy: "Nonsense, it's all this step, how can it be half-way.
In case any baby is missed, wouldn't it regret it for life. "
The temptation to get rich was too great, and Valentin was convinced. The two started banging, looking for the basement entrance.
After working for a long time, they finally found clues, but they were stunned after opening the back room.
Rows were stripped of clothes and carrion, and a few rats that were gnawing at the carcass ran away quickly when they noticed the arrival.
Valentin spit it out disgustingly, and Vitalye was not much better. All the dreams of getting rich disappeared and he retreated.
Leaving at least a mile away, the two men slowly came to God. Vitalier said helplessly: "Report it, apply for fuel to be burned on the spot, this stuff can't be dealt with at all."
Wallian Jinghun nodded absently, and the whole person was bad.
This is just the beginning. It is found that there are far more than one such closet in the city. The large number has still attracted the attention of Russian military officers.
Although in the propaganda, the Ottoman aristocracy was such a pervert, it was the result of selecting individual cases and magnifying the art processing.
Even if an individual's brain is sick, putting a pile of corpses into the basement to feed the mice, it is impossible for a group of people to have brains.
...
Reported to Lieutenant General Auginets here, and with a possible analysis, things were almost cleared up.
It is nothing more than the unwillingness of the Ottoman government to artificially create a plague and start an indiscriminate biochemical attack between the enemy and us.
After figuring out the context, Lieutenant General Auginets was still not happy. He couldn't find it too late. The plague had already occurred.
As Ankara's supreme person in charge, Lieutenant General Auginets had no blame for not discovering the Ottoman conspiracy in advance.
