Holy Roman Empire

France and Russia want to restore their vitality. Austria is busy with the development of the Near East. The three major European countries are very busy and do not have the energy to do things.

The environment is like this, and the British are not blind.The international situation has suddenly eased, and the smell of smoky smoke gradually faded away from the European continent over time.

Franz is in a good mood, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will rise again in a few months.

People's attitudes change when they get older, 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 heirs, although Crown Prince Frederick is not old, but this kind of thing should be sooner rather than later.

Countless eyes of the outside world are staring, and the third generation is born earlier, which can also make everyone feel at ease earlier.

Happy times are always short-lived, and when seeing Prime Minister Felix in a hurry, Franz knows that trouble has come to the door again.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the Asia Minor Peninsula."

Hearing "Asia Minor Peninsula", Franz looked tight.

The Near East Development is the most important strategy of the Vienna government in the next ten years. After completing this strategy, Austria ’s strategic security will be fundamentally improved.

The Asia Minor Peninsula, located at the junction of Asia, Europe and Africa, has always been a battleground for military strategists.The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire controlled this place before they dominated the Mediterranean Sea and Tiger, Asia, Europe and Africa.

It ’s the same here in Austria. As long as you control the Asia Minor Peninsula, the Middle East ’s oil and African resources are all in your pocket.Naturally, it has become the core of the development strategy of the Near East.

In addition to high value, another important factor is safety, which is very suitable as a large rear.

The Caucasus region is not suitable for combat by large regiments, and the Russians cannot cross the mountains and fight over; Armenia and Persia are both small beans and cannot be a threat.

Maritime threats exist temporarily, but with the development of technology, they will no longer be threats.

Although the aircraft has just started, it will be no problem to reach the level of World War I ten years later.

Not to mention the power of 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 with the cooperation of the guys in the sky, it is possible to keep the door of the house.

Franz asked with concern: "What happened?"

After a short breath, Prime Minister Felix replied: "A large-scale plague has occurred in the Ankara area and it is still spreading around. Many people in the Russian army responsible for immigration are also 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."

Migrating people also takes time. All together add up to 4-5 million people. The Russians no longer care about immigrants' life and death, nor can they send them away in a short time.

Franz asked with concern: "Is the source of the plague determined? Has it just been discovered, or has it already existed, and the Russians did not pay attention?"

There was a major epidemic after the war, which 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 curbed, things will pass quickly.

Felix shook his head: "The source of the transmission is still uncertain. However, the epidemic did occur early, but the Russians did not pay attention.

At first, senior Russian military officers took it for granted that soldiers fell ill and were not convinced. It was not until later that the number of soldiers who fell ill also continued to increase.

According to the news reported by the Russians, as of now, more than 5,000 soldiers and soldiers have fallen ill. The exact number of people infected with the plague cannot be determined."

Hearing this explanation, Franz was speechless.He really has nothing to say about the carelessness of the Russians.

Of course, the top ranks of the Russian military may also be wronged.It ’s not that I went back to China for a gala dinner, which was delayed for more than ten days. Even before Christmas, I hurried over. Who knows how a sudden plague broke out?

"The troops in the Near East were ordered to do epidemic prevention work, and the immigration plan was postponed for a while, telling the Russians to let them investigate the reasons as soon as possible."

As a great empire, the Russians also have to face.Unless the epidemic is completely out of control, there will be no such thing as a minor matter, and we will certainly not seek help from the outside world.

If it's out of control, it's useless to ask for help.With regard to the medical technology of this year, 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 personally experienced them.

...

Ankara, Lieutenant General Odinets responsible for this area, looked at the investigation report with a sullen face.

If someone pays attention, you will find that his forehead has begun to sweat.

In the cold winter, the forehead suddenly began to sweat, obviously not a trivial matter.

"Are you sure it's plague?"

Despite having accepted the facts, Lieutenant General Odinets still has the last hint of fantasy.There is no way, "The Plague" is too terrible, enough for anyone in this era to change color.

The medical doctor Koremika, who was in charge of the accident investigation, frowned and replied: "Lieutenant General, please don't doubt our professionalism."

"Sorry, it's just that this thing is too big, I was a little bit difficult to accept for a while."

After that, Lieutenant General Odinets wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his image could not be taken care of.

Koremyaka said slowly: "In view of the current situation, I think the Ankara area is no longer suitable for the continued presence of troops.

Even the entire Asia Minor Peninsula is in serious danger. In order to contain the spread of the plague, it is best to block the peninsula."

treatment?

nonexistent.Being able to take good care of the officers, it was all played at a super level.Ordinary soldiers give some medicine at most, and then take orders.

As for ordinary people, it is completely out of consideration.The cost of migrating these people to Siberia is still there. If these people are taken away directly by the virus, the Tsarist government can save a sum of money.

Lieutenant General Oginets nodded: "I will report it according to your suggestion. The final result will still have to be decided by St. Petersburg."

It can be heard from the tone, and Lieutenant General Okinets has no fear of being dismissed.The word "plague" is enough to panic the European world.

The Black Death is also a type of plague. Although the prestige of the Black Death has not disappeared for hundreds of years.

The Vienna government used this as an excuse to relocate the Ottoman people, 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 ordinary soldiers should do, there is not so much mental pressure.

Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing. The Russian soldier on patrol, Valentin, has some pain, and a few mice run past his eyes, successfully attracting his attention.

Say to your companions: "Vitaliya, did you find that the mice we often see recently are particularly large?"

Vitaliya replied disdainfully: "It's not big, is it obviously fat? You see their speed, it's not as fast as the mouse in our hometown."

Valentin nodded in agreement: "It really is. The Ottomans are really extravagant, and even the mice are so fat."

Vitaliya chuckled and said: "You're really kidding, now they can't eat anymore, who still has food to feed the mice?"

Valiang did not want to be weak: "Who knows? Anyway, these mice are indeed very fat. If you keep up with them, you might be able to post a pen. Anyway, you are also idle."

Looting is an important income for Russian soldiers. Ankara was naturally looted by the Russian army, but in such a large city, there will always be missing corners.

From time to time, there are lucky people who discover these missing wealth and make a fortune.

Although such a good thing, Valiang had never personally encountered it, but he heard a lot.

Vitaliya nodded in agreement: "Then keep up, I saw the mouse entered from the left."

Needless to say, as qualified Russian soldiers, they naturally kicked in.

Respect for private property, that's too much.All the wealth of the Ottomans who had left the country would be searched out by Russian soldiers.

The deeper Vitaly felt, the more it went wrong. Although he didn't see the body, the pungent smell of carrion had come.

Vitaliya complained: "Damn, it's not the one who got out of it, didn't dispose of the body just to be lazy!"

Valentin nodded in agreement: "Mostly this is the case, I must report it back, and let this debris be punished as it should be."

Handling corpses is also a compulsory course for the military. If you are lazy, you are joking about the safety of everyone ’s life.

Even the Russians who have never paid much attention to military discipline are very strict in this regard-"reporting prizes and hiding the same crime".

In addition to catching the enemies and maintaining order in the city, the patrol team also has an important task to deal with the dead bodies.

Although this stuff is disgusting, it is not unacceptable to look at the ruble.

After searching again and again to no avail, Vitaliya covered her nose with her 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, there may be a basement.

Look carefully, maybe there are unexpected gains."

Valianjing frowned: "If not, let's do it! It's too stinky. It is estimated that the corpses are rotten, and it is very troublesome to handle.

Anyway, this place is so remote, few people will come and will not be discovered."

Vitaliya didn't have a good air: "Nonsense, how can you stop halfway through this step?

In case there is any baby that is missed, wouldn't it be regretful for life."

The temptation to make a fortune is too great, Valianjing was persuaded.The two began to bang and bang, looking for the basement entrance.

After working hard for a long time, I finally found clues, but when I opened the secret room, I was shocked.

Rows and rows were completely stripped of rotten corpses, and a few mice were eating the corpses, and ran away quickly after they sensed the arrival.

Valentin vomited directly and disgusted, and Vitaliya was not much better, any dream of getting rich disappeared, and he retreated directly.

After leaving at least a mile away, the two talents slowly passed away.Vitaliya said helplessly: "Report it, apply for the incineration of fuel oil, this can't be dealt with at all."

Wallian Jingshun nodded, and the whole person was bad.

This is just the beginning. There are more than one such chamber in the city. The larger number has attracted the attention of Russian military officers.

Although in the propaganda, the Ottoman nobility is such a pervert, but that is the result of selecting individual cases and performing art processing and amplification.

Even if an individual's brain is ill, put a pile of corpses into the basement to feed the mice, and it is impossible for a group of people to have ill brains.

...

Reported to Lieutenant General Okinets here, with a probable analysis, things are almost cleared.

It is nothing more than the Ottoman government's unwillingness to fail, artificially creating a plague, and launching a biochemical attack between the enemy and the enemy.

Having figured out the ins and outs, Lieutenant General Orginets was still not happy. It was too late to find out, and the plague had already occurred.

As the highest person in charge of Ankara, Lieutenant General Odinets was to blame for failing to discover the Ottoman conspiracy in advance.
