Romanian Eagle

Chapter 343 The flu is coming

The news of the Kazan Gold didn't ease his worries. It turned out that there was a report on his desk showing an outbreak of influenza in Romania.

This news opened Eder's dusty memory, and a term "Spanish flu" appeared in his mind.

Eder immediately asked the health department to investigate the symptoms of the flu, and let the foreign affairs department know the situation in Britain and France.

The Ministry of Health didn't understand why the king took the flu so seriously, but quickly gave the symptoms they learned. Headache, high fever, muscle aches and loss of appetite are the current flu symptoms.

And the conclusion given by the Ministry of Health is that this flu is somewhat similar to the flu that broke out in France, but it is not dangerous. And the infected people are mainly young and middle-aged people, mainly young and middle-aged people who form the army and become the hardest hit area.

It also stopped the Moldavian Army, which had advanced to Suceava, for the time being. As the commander of the army, General Courtois had to devote a lot of energy and medicine to take care of these soldiers infected with influenza. At present, a large number of transport ships purchase medicines for the treatment of influenza from all over the world and transport them through the Bulgarian railway.

Of course, the Romanian army was uncomfortable, and the German army as its opponent was even more uncomfortable. This army, which assembled a large number of elite German troops on the Eastern Front, was as vulnerable to the flu virus. A large number of soldiers also fell ill with the same symptoms as in Romania. This caused a headache for Marshal Mackensen as his commander. He did not have the same massive amount of medicines from the Allied countries as Admiral Courtois, so in addition to collecting flu medicines on the new territories on the Eastern Front, he could only ask Hindeng Fort and Ludendorff for help.

The two people who had already been infected with influenza virus by the soldiers on the Western Front and had their scalps scratched, in addition to a batch of medicines, only had a telegram for them to raise by themselves. The angry Marshal Mackenson yelled at the headquarters, but he also got angry in the headquarters, and he could only ask the chief of staff, Major General Hoffman, to go to raise it and work hard to restore the state of the army as soon as possible.

One more thing needs to be said here. To deal with the current situation and to appease the Polish and Ukrainians, freshly-baked Polish and Ukrainian governments have been formed in the new German-occupied territories. The former currently has only a few former Russian territories such as Warsaw, while the latter currently has vast former Russian territories such as Kyiv, Vinnitsa, and Odessa.

Moreover, in order to allow the new Ukrainian government to participate in the war with Romania, the East Moldavia region, which had occupied the majority of Romanian people and was originally included in Russia, was also given to the Ukrainian government. The move by the Germans allowed the newly established Ukrainian regime to surpass Romania in one fell swoop and occupy the seventh position in Europe. This also made Romanian domestic sentiments aroused, and they all demanded to give the German puppet regime some color.

However, the kings, prime ministers, and others who were high-level officials of the kingdom scoffed at the Germans' actions to distract them. Everyone knows that as long as Germany falls, the new regimes will have to spit out as much territory as they want,

Do they still have the strength and confidence to resist the demands of the Allies.

In private, in order to be conservative, Eder also ordered his chief of guards to arrange manpower to win over the Romanians in East Moldavia. The situation is not bad, considering the strong consideration of the same family and Romania, these high-level officials have accepted the olive branch of the Romanian government with joy.

Therefore, the key at present is to repel the German invasion, so that everyone can see the strength of Romania, so that no one has the wrong idea.

Of course, the current domestic influenza Edel also pays attention to it. After all, he is not a yellow race. Influenza is as deadly as Romania, but not as high as I remember.

Eder asked the guards to call the prime minister and the minister in charge of health care, Helk. After all, the flu also affects social life in Romania.

The Hulk, who previously served as the director of the Bucharest Royal Hospital, is a figure who is both knowledgeable about medical care and loyal to the royal family.

When Eder was still the prince, he was mentioned by the old king to work in the health department. During this period, the results were good, and the hospitals in various places were renovated, focusing on the handling and regulation of quack doctors and tips. Let the Romanian dare to go to the hospital for treatment after being sick, which is a practical talent.

Now this round-faced and chubby minister was led by the Prime Minister to Eder.

After the two saluted, Edel asked directly: "Sir Hulk, what is your health department's response to this flu?"

In the face of the king's inquiry, Hulk didn't know why the king was so concerned about the flu, but he still said straight: "Your Majesty, our health department mainly distributes medicines for this flu, and sends people to monitor areas where the flu may break out. In addition, we also send people to publicize measures to prevent influenza. For those who have been infected, we mainly distribute medicines for treatment.”

Hearing Hulk's words, Edel thought about the virus that scared the people of the country in his previous life, and the measures that the powerful government took to deal with the virus. After trying hard for a while, Eder asked the Minister of Health in front of him: "Are those who contract the flu forced to quarantine?"

Facing the king's question, Hulk answered truthfully: "There are many people who have left after a while because of life, but we have prescribed medicine for them and told them to eat it. I don't think there is anyone. Don't care about your body."

Facing Hulk's answer, Edel said directly: "That's not enough."

In the face of the king's words, Hulk was a little puzzled. At present, the health department under his leadership has responded to the flu, even British and French journalists reported that they responded quickly and responded appropriately, not losing to the British and French governments. He was happy for a few days because of this, and now the king's words made him wonder what he didn't do well. In fact, the current measures of the Romanian health department are also the main response methods of European and American countries. Influenza breaks out almost every two years, and all countries have a set of countermeasures, all of which are similar.

And Edel didn't care about Hulk's puzzled expression, he couldn't say that there would be a wave of influenza with a very high fatality rate next. In this case, could Edel say that it was God's response to him, and if so, the Vatican would consecrate him.

Therefore, Edel can only issue an executive order.

"Helke, I don't think such measures are enough. In order to show the importance the kingdom attaches to its subjects, I think it is necessary to strictly control the flu. First of all, we need to treat patients in a centralized isolation type, and medical staff need to take adequate protective measures. We will also send government staff to investigate whether people in each jurisdiction have fever and cold symptoms. If so, the patient will be taken to a hospital for intensive treatment, and family members must be quarantined to observe whether they have the same symptoms. Disinfect various public places, and at the same time publicize that everyone should not go out as much as possible. And also need to be prepared for a possible outbreak of virus infection.”

Facing Edel's countermeasures, Hulk took a deep breath and glanced at the Prime Minister secretly. It is no wonder that the Prime Minister is called. These measures cannot be dealt with by their health department and require the cooperation of various government departments.

After Edel finished speaking, Prime Minister Bretianu sorted out the language and asked: "Your Majesty, this will have an adverse impact on the current war. And the cost of funds and manpower will be too high. Is it worth it?"

Facing the Prime Minister's inquiry, Edel replied: "It is worth doing this, it can ensure the safety of our subjects' lives."

But the king's words did not resonate with the prime minister, because the impact was too great. During the war, a lot of materials were used for domestic protection against influenza, which in his opinion was not worth it at all.

Seeing the prime minister who responded silently, Eder could only continue to persuade from another angle: "The current situation on the battlefield is already obvious, and the Allies are almost out of strength to fight. We can't be too hard, you can see those Italy. ."

Of course, the Prime Minister knew about the Italians Edel spoke of. Under the planning of Karl I, the Austro-Hungarian and German troops launched an attack on the Italian army defending the Piave River. The German-Austrian coalition of nearly 800,000 troops (the German army with only four divisions) attacked the Italian army defending here. attack. At this time, the Italian army, instigated by Britain and France, also planned to regain the lost ground, and as a result, a pinpoint confrontation with Maimang started on the banks of the Piave River. As a result, the Italians lost another game, with a loss of 160,000 people, and even Udine was captured by Austria-Hungary. The German and Austrian armies are currently approaching the city of Venice and are preparing to seize this world-famous cultural city.

In the face of Edel's persuasion, the Prime Minister finally succumbed. The government issued an announcement the day after leaving the palace. Officials and staff at all levels are being asked to respond to the flu in accordance with the newly issued precautionary measures document. This made the medical staff and government personnel on the front line scolded. Isn't this increasing their already busy workload.

And the Romanian people couldn't understand the new government measures to prevent influenza. For a time, because of Eder's request, Romania was full of chickens and dogs.

In the face of everyone's incomprehension, Edel can only say that you will not know its importance until the virus appears. In his mind, he remembered that the number of deaths from the flu exceeded the number of deaths on the battlefield.

Is it like that?

Edel's memory of this is already a little vague, and he can't remember the number of deaths from the flu at that time. Anyway, he only knows that this is a big event.
