Chapter 45, The Black Death

"Is the matter clear? Is it possible to put the blame on the anti-Turkish alliance?" Prime Minister Gladston asked anxiously.

Faced with the enemy's darkness, the British government naturally would not sit still and wait for death. It was because the incident happened suddenly and they were not prepared.

Foreign Minister George shook his head: "We have sent experts to the scene to check it out on the spot. From time to time, the Ottoman Empire is indeed suspected of being a plague.

In the face of facts, we cannot defend the Ottomans. Russia and Austria are urging the international joint investigation team to give a conclusion, and it is estimated that the final conclusion will be seen in London's news tomorrow."

The British government does not have the ability to influence the results of the international investigation team, and it is impossible to turn black and white in front of the anti-Turkey alliance.

The "Black Death" is too famous, and even if it is just "suspected", it is scary enough.

Now European countries still expect Russia and Austria to work effectively in epidemic prevention and control, and to block the virus in the Near East, so as not to harm themselves.

It is obvious that public opinion will stand there, and everyone doesn't care whether the Ottoman government was forced. The European world absolutely resists such things that violate human morality.

The cruel reality broke Gladstone's last fantasy. This time the Ottoman government cheated them. It was inevitable that the London government would support Ottoman supplies were vented by the European people.

Perhaps in a few days, the newspaper will be published: The London government contributes money and efforts to buy time for the Ottoman man-made "Black Death".

Whether the virus created is the "Black Death" does not matter. Anyway, the London government's support for the Ottoman Empire has increased the time for the Sudanese government to resist, and has indeed created conditions for artificial viruses.

Everyone will only say: Without the supplies provided by the British, the Near East War ended a few months earlier. If Ankara is defeated in advance, the Russian army will have the ability to stop the Ottoman government from taking counter-investment.

Gladstone knew that something had to be done now, otherwise the situation would be out of control later.

"Immediately organize a medical volunteer team to go to the Near East to control the epidemic, and then purchase a batch of materials in the name of the government to send them.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the Austrians, and the Royal Navy was willing to send a fleet to cooperate in blocking the Near East and show the outside world our determination to fight the epidemic."

After hesitating for a moment, Gladstone added: "Abducted the Ottomans who were exiled to the country on suspicion of creating the Black Death, regardless of their status."

Since the matter has been confirmed, Gladstone will naturally not be polite to the Ottomans who have cheated them.

This is not the relationship between the younger brother and the boss, but the relationship between humans and anti-human beings. It involves the "Black Death", and no one dares to take it lightly.

Foreign Minister George reminded: "Prime Minister, the medical community has not yet determined whether it is the Black Death, and it is still doubting it."

Gladstone waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's always true that the Ottoman government artificially creates a plague.

Now all we want is an attitude. It is estimated that in a few days, the European world will set off a wave of anti-terrorism, so don’t affect us.

The Ministry of Finance settled the accounts as soon as possible. The evil capitalists who gave the Ottoman Empire supplies had no relationship with the government, and we had never contacted the Ottomans."

From now on, the British government has been the vanguard of fighting the epidemic. Collusion with the Ottoman Empire is not unavailable.

It was nonsense to provide supplies to the Ottoman Empire, and the supplies were clearly exported to Persia. Since the anti-Turkish alliance blocked the coastline in the near East, the trade between Britain and Turkey ended.

Why did materials flow to the Ottoman Empire? It was sold to the Ottoman Empire by illegal merchants in order to seek huge profits.

Who is it?

This is what we have to ask the Persian government, which has all flowed into the past from Persia and has no connection with the London government.

...

Looking at the wonderful performances of the British, Franz really wanted to say: This is because he is thinking too much. Now he is busy controlling the plague. Who has the time to argue?

With this fictitious thing, there is nothing we can do except to cause some confusion to the British government and to touch their international image.

If you really want to defeat Britain, it is not just a simple rumor and trouble.

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world. If you calm down, you will find that the "British conspiracy" is untenable.

There is no other reason, mainly because the "plague" is uncontrollable. When killing people, we never distinguish between enemies and us, whether between high and low.

The European world is in trouble, and Britain cannot survive alone.

Although the current international situation is somewhat disharmonious to the British, it is just a small problem, far from the point where we need to die together.

If it really rushes, the Russians would probably suffer the least losses. The ice and snow country has only a few benefits, and the virus breeds and spreads faster.

For details, please refer to: The little mouse who was frozen to death on the road after crossing the road.

When the Black Death plundered the European continent, more than 200,000 people died in the Russian Empire. However, compared with the 25 million in the European world, one in every three Europeans saw God due to illness, and this proportion is still insignificant.

If you really frame the British, unless Austria can reconcile the conflicts among European countries and provide enough interests to tempt everyone to believe that the British did it.

This is much more difficult than letting everyone talk lies with their eyes open. Whether it is to eliminate conflicts between countries or to provide sufficient benefits, Franz can do it.

Since you can't kill me, just don't take action. Just find something for the London government and let them cooperate properly to control the epidemic.

Facts have proved that the plague is known as the most lethal plague.

Even though the Vienna government took the strictest epidemic prevention measures, the plague still came to us, and the first ones were Austrian soldiers stationed in the Near East.

Starting from the discovery of the first infected person, three hundred soldiers were infected in just one week, and the next week expanded to two thousand.

This is the result of timely isolation of the epidemic and rat poison is everywhere near the military camp. Otherwise, the number of people infected would not be that small.

Army Secretary Feslav: "This plague is very spreading, and we have not had many infections.

The Russian army, who first discovered the epidemic, was different. The number of infections has reached 35,000, which is only confirmed, and the actual number should be even greater.

The explosive power and lethality of the plague are also very amazing. It usually takes no more than a week from onset to death. After fighting, it only saves a life temporarily and may still recur later.

The symptoms show that there is not much difference between them and ordinary plagues, they are all nausea, dry retching, and fever.

The epidemic has just happened here, and the mortality rate cannot be determined for the time being, but the mortality rate of infected people counted by the Russian army is as high as 13.2%!

There is currently no particularly good treatment method. Using the best antibiotics can only reduce mortality and cannot guarantee efficacy.

The Army Department has ordered all troops to be stationed in battalions to reduce the chance of infection as much as possible."

The ratio of 13.2% made Franz feel heavy all of a sudden.

Although this is a result of no effective treatment, the death rate is still too high.

You should know that the Russian soldiers are all young and strong, and their resistance is the strongest. If they were replaced by the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, the mortality rate would probably be even more brutal.

After a little thought, Franz said slowly: "I can report this mortality rate and perform artistic processing to appropriately exaggerate the lethality of the plague to other age groups.

The note was given to European countries and told them that we had determined that the source of the Black Death was mice.

In order to curb the spread of the Black Death, we plan to release rat poison on a large scale in the Near East, requiring at least 400,000 tons of rat poison.”

It is impossible to say that such a high mortality rate is not the "Black Death", so you must insist that it is the "Black Death".

Only when everyone is scared will European countries make every effort to produce rat poison and contribute money and participate in epidemic prevention work together.

...

St. Petersburg, as the biggest victim of this plague, Alexander III is now in tears.

If he had known that there would be a plague in the Near East, he would order in advance... Oh, there was no way to leave, ASUS still had to make a profit.

There is no doubt that in order to evade responsibility, the top Russian military leaders tacitly concealed the number of early infections. When the plague was first discovered in the official documents, the number of Russian soldiers infected was only 28.

The number of infected people concealed was just a temporary solution. So when I got there, I added it. Aren’t the Austrians calling for “Black Death”? In order to reduce the responsibility, the top Russian military leaders naturally followed suit.

Since it is the Black Death, it is normal to have a fast infection rate and a high mortality rate, and it is definitely not caused by everyone's dereliction of duty.

After the modified data, the seriousness of the problem increased greatly when it came to Alexander III.

The time of the epidemic was discovered was cut by half from artificially.

In just over twenty days, the number of Russian soldiers killed more than 3,000 due to the plague and the number of infected more than 50,000.

Anyone who sees such data will be frightened. What's worse is that due to the relationship between migrants, the epidemic may be brought to China.

Now Alexander III can only expect Siberia to be cold enough to freeze the virus to death, otherwise it would spread to the western part of the empire, which would be miserable.

"What do the Austrians say? We are resettling immigrants for them. The Vienna government cannot be without an explanation, right?"

Foreign Minister Oscar Jimenez replied: "The Vienna government has informed us of the virus research process and they have thought of ways to reduce the mortality rate of infected people.

Antibiotics developed by the Royal Austrian Academy of Sciences can inhibit viruses to a certain extent.

The Vienna government is currently rushing to produce 20,000 doses in the next month.”

Alexander III frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you be that little bit enough?"

Can't Austrians provide more? It's really not possible, we can pay for it ourselves!"

Oscar Jimenez explained: "Your Majesty, this drug is not yet industrially produced, and can only be made manually in the laboratory.

The output is very small, and the supply has always been in short supply, and the price is higher than that of the same portion of gold. The dose of 20,000 portions is already a lot.

In fact, there are also laboratories in our country who have obtained patent authorization, but unfortunately the production technology is too difficult and can only produce more than 1,000 doses per month."

The technology of making penicillin in the laboratory is not difficult. As long as the product appears on the market, it will soon be deciphered.

In order to maximize profits, Franz started patent authorization a few years ago and established a monopoly alliance.

Those who have obtained the authorization are all big names from various countries. After obtaining the technology, they also joined the party that protects the patent.

Based on the principle that scarcity is precious, everyone tacitly exaggerated the technical difficulty and deliberately limited production capacity.

Of course, the Russian Empire may not be limiting production capacity. After all, this thing is simple to say. If a qualified product is made in a laboratory, it is not something that anyone can do.

Generally speaking, those who undertake this work are students of science and engineering with strong hands-on skills. The Russian Empire itself lacks talents in this area.

The Vienna government promised to provide 20,000 doses, so naturally it was not all made by hand. Otherwise, all the products made were given to the Russians and they would be useless.

It was impossible to carry out industrial production. That was the case before. So many years have passed, and science and technology have made great progress.

Austria can already achieve mechanized production, but the products produced have flaws, not only are the defective rate high, but the efficacy of the medicine will also be reduced.

In order to ensure the selling price of drugs, news about industrial production was naturally kept strictly confidential.

Even if someone finds that the medicine is insufficient, they will only think that the production staff is accidentally and make mistakes in the operation.

The news that industry insiders don’t know is even more unknown to the layman. After hearing this explanation, Alexander III was so moved.
