Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The turbulent 1919 passed in a flash. The theme of this year was - epidemic, epidemic, epidemic, and then the conjecture about the causes and consequences of the "American flu"!

The Wilson government did not sit still. If overseas assets are lost, they will be lost, and international debts will be lost. Anyway, those things are impossible to come back!

The most important thing is to guide public opinion. As long as this pandemic is diverted from the US government, it will be a victory!

So various speculations began to circulate among the people, such as:

1. Accident theory, the leak of the Texas chemical plant just caught up with the flu, and an unexpected combination of viruses caused the flu; (this explanation is a professional answer given by the American Academy of Sciences)

2. A conspiracy theory, a certain careerist conducted secret research in a Texas chemical plant and accidentally had an accident, causing the virus to leak; (the most widely circulated opinion among the people)

3. Coincidence theory + conspiracy theory, flu virus and chemical plant leak just happened to crash, and then were used by European anti-American forces; (publicly promoted by the US government)

4. Framing theory, the flu virus is man-made, but the manufacturer is not the U.S. government, but an enemy of the U.S. government. It was deliberately released in the United States in order to create chaos in the United States. The global American flu;

5. Science fiction, the prelude to the alien invasion of the earth;

6. Ancient virus theory, the n1 virus is a virus lurking in fossils, and the fossils were treated as ordinary stones by American soldiers and used to build barracks. As time passed, someone accidentally opened the fossils and released the disease;

7. The devil theory, the devil who escaped from Ankara, lurked in the United States, and then created this virus, trying to use the virus to wipe out human beings and unify the earth;

...

have to say,

The Wilson government is really fighting, and in order to reduce the pressure, various versions of the rumors are circulating around the world, attracting the public's attention.

The effect is not bad, at least much better than the previous accusations against the U.S. government by the whole people. In order to clear the suspicion, the U.S. government even disclosed all the expenses, even the shady espionage funds.

Wilson doesn't care anymore, no matter how influential other things are, the big deal is being scolded, no matter how much trouble it is, it's not half as big as this time!

The investigation team of the League of Nations also did not go well in obtaining evidence in the United States. First of all, they all died. Second, the n1 virus is different from others. Its transmission can be carried out 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 US 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 did not recognize it!

As time has passed, there is no way to investigate the responsibility of the accident. The most typical example 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 country's centripetal force is not strong. The longer this time drags on, the greater the mental pressure of the American people.

Coupled with the severance of overseas trade, most of the factories in the United States are reducing production capacity, and even some companies specializing in exports have already faced difficulties and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

If it weren't for the support of domestic consortia, the bankruptcy wave in the United States has exploded, and even so, everyone's life would not be easy!

In order to stabilize the situation, the Wilson government was forced to close the stock exchange, but this closure will always open one day. Once it is opened again, it will be when the US stock market collapses. A large number of companies have suffered heavy losses overseas and are now insolvent.

It can be said that the longer the delay, the more serious the internal crisis of the United States, and even collapse on its own. This is exactly what the British and French countries hope. If the Americans can be killed without a single shot, who would be willing to do it except Japan? What about cross-sea expeditions?

...

Just when everyone thought the flu was going to pass, the flu broke out again in the winter of 1919, scaring everyone into panic, thinking that the flu virus had evolved again!

Ferdinand was also taken aback. Fortunately, the flu did not start in Eastern Europe, leaving Bulgaria with time to react. The port that had just resumed navigation was closed, and the country returned to a state of martial law again.

Well, the protagonist is not omnipotent, at least the time of the last wave of the epidemic, he made a mistake, thinking that it will only explode in spring.

This is Baidu's fault. Who made the information on the Internet disappear in 1919? If it is not remembered that there were three waves, it is estimated that the Bulgarian government will announce the end of the epidemic?

Fortunately, the mortality rate of the last wave of the epidemic is not high. Of course, this is only relative to the second wave. After a circle around the world, nearly 10 million people died because of it!

It was not until the end of the spring of 192o that mankind got out of the shadow of the "American flu", but things are definitely not over!

On May 1, 192o, the Royal Academy of Sciences of the United Kingdom made an announcement, announcing that after smallpox and the Black Death, the third devastating virus facing the human world, the n1 virus, has declined and will no longer cause large-scale damage to humans. harm!

Reasons: 1. Influenza virus also has a life cycle. After the lifespan of the original virus is over, the toxicity of the new virus has weakened in the circulation, 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 explanation ostensibly announced the end of the flu epidemic, but the proposal of the "original virus" led the public's goal to the United States. If anyone says that the virus is naturally occurring this time, it is estimated that the public can tear him apart. !

With mounting evidence linking the Texas chemical leak to the "American flu", the Wilson administration has made a surprising move this time around.

The spokesperson of the U.S. Foreign Office held a public press conference, announcing:

The U.S. government deeply regrets the "American flu" that has just passed. Regarding the investigation into the cause of the virus, the U.S. government has actively cooperated with the work of the League of Nations investigation team.

So far, all the evidence points to the leak of the Texas chemical plant. Due to unexpected factors, all parties involved have died, and the case has reached a deadlock.

The US government has never conducted any biochemical research in the Texas chemical plant. Every expenditure of our government has been disclosed to the public, including the flow of bank funds. You are welcome to check.

As a responsible big country, we will continue to cooperate with the work of the investigation team and investigate those responsible in depth. We deeply apologize to the victims. This is because our government has not done its job properly and has not been able to comprehensively supervise chemical plants. this disaster!

In the face of this disaster, everyone is a victim. The virus does not recognize people. The United States of America has also paid a heavy price. In this pandemic, our death toll is the largest among major countries.

The number of deaths that have been counted has exceeded 3.8 million, and most of them are young adults. The average life expectancy in the United States has dropped by 12 years for two consecutive years!

The U.S. government hereby expresses its inescapable responsibility as the site of the accident, and we will discuss the issue of pensions with the families of the deceased.

And here we solemnly promise that the U.S. government has decided not to let go of any responsible person in this accident. We have dismissed all relevant government officials as soon as the accident occurred and sent it to the court. Supervision, absolutely must give a satisfactory account to the families of the deceased!

...

It’s the Wilson government’s choice to avoid the important ones. Now that the Texas chemical plant has been hacked, it can’t be hacked any more. Everyone thinks that the flu has something to do with the leak of the chemical plant, so let’s just admit it! Anyway, even Wilson himself believes that the flu virus this time is related to the leak of the chemical factory!

It is related to the leak of the chemical plant, which can only show that the capitalists have neglected safety in order to make money; so let them take the blame, as long as it is proved that the government has not participated in the research of biological and chemical weapons.

At the same time, he put the US government in the position of the victims. Ferdinand is sure that the big flu in the history of the United States did not kill so many people, so there is something tricky here.

People must have died. As for whether they died from the flu, this is hard to say. It is a dark guess, and it does not rule out the bitter tricks that Americans deliberately devised!

How can you be one of the victims without a few dead people? The Wilson government knows that the American consortium is even less stupid!

In order to escape, it is completely feasible to sacrifice the lives of some poor people. In the United States, there are a large number of non-citizens, and some of them are not distressed at all!

The specific operation, since the hospital can save people, it can also kill people. The consortium behind the scenes can create a secret massacre if they want!

Ferdinand frowned. When the death toll in the United States exceeded that of Europe, things changed a bit.

People's hearts are so delicate, they don't see others better than themselves, but when they see others worse than themselves, many people's sympathy comes up again!

If the U.S. government does not intervene, the U.S. government will only have to pay a heavy price, and the crisis will be over, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity to deal with them.

Foreign Minister Metev asked: "Your Majesty, the Americans have just sent us a diplomatic note to discuss the issue of pensions with the families of the deceased. Do we want to refuse?"

Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Give me a rejection and tell the Americans that we reject all bilateral exchanges until we can prove the innocence of the US government!"

"Yes!" Metev replied

pension? Pamper a ghost? Just how much money is there for the thousands of people who died in Bulgaria? And who knows who the family members of the gang that died in the colony are?

If they let them go so easily, would they have to return the confiscated property? Do you have to continue to pay the loan you missed?

Instead, Ferdinand would rather fight the Americans. At least he has many allies now. The Japanese are activists, and the British also want to fight the Americans.

After a pause, Ferdinand made a decision: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly confronted the London government and told the UK to fight if they wanted to. We Bulgaria fully support it. If we continue to ink, we will not play!"
