785 Black Death

"The investigation is clear, is it possible to blame the Anti-Turkish Alliance?" Prime Minister Gladstone asked eagerly.

In the face of the enemy's slandering, the British government will naturally not sit back and wait. It is a sudden incident that they did not immediately launch a counterattack. They have no preparation.

Foreign Minister George shook his head: "We have sent experts to the site to check it on the spot. It is inferred from the time that the Ottoman Empire does indeed have suspicions of artificial plague.

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

The British government has no ability to influence the results of the international investigation team. It is simply impossible to reverse black and white in the face of the anti-Turkish alliance.

The prestige of "Black Death" is too strong, even if it is only "suspected", it is scary enough.

European countries are now counting on the Russian and Austrian epidemic prevention work to be able to block the virus in the Near East, so as not to harm themselves.

It is obvious that the public opinion will stand there. Everyone can not care whether the Ottoman government was forced.The European world is absolutely resistant to such violations of human morality.

The cruel reality broke Gladstone's final fantasy.This time the Ottoman government mistreated them. The London government's support for Ottoman supplies was inevitable by the European people.

Maybe in a few days, the newspaper will publish: The London government has contributed money to buy time for the Ottoman Empire's artificial "black death".

It doesn't matter whether the virus is "black death".Anyway, the London government ’s support for the Ottoman Empire increased the Sudanese government ’s resistance time, and indeed created conditions for artificial viruses.

Everyone will only say: Without the materials provided by the British, the Near East War ended a few months in advance.By breaking Ankara ahead of time, the Russian army has the ability to prevent the Ottoman government from going backwards.

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

"Immediately organized a medical volunteer team, went to the Near East to control the epidemic, and then purchased a batch of materials in the name of the government and sent it over.

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

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone added: "The arrest of the Ottomans who were exiled to the country, regardless of their status, noble or low, on the charge of suspected black death.

Now that things have been determined, Gladstone will naturally not be polite to the Ottomans who have pitted them.

This is not the relationship between the younger brother and the boss, but the relationship between humans and anti-humans.With the "Black Death", no one dared to take it lightly.

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

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

All we want now is an attitude. It is estimated that it will not take a few days. The European world will set off a wave of anti-soil, do n’t bring us to the end.

The Ministry of Finance closed the account as soon as possible. The materials for the Ottoman Empire were evil capitalists. They had nothing to do with the government. We had never been in contact with the Ottomans."

From now on, the British government is a pioneer in fighting the epidemic.It is not non-existent to collude with the Ottoman Empire.

It is nonsense to provide materials to the Ottoman Empire, and the materials are clearly exported to Persia.From the beginning of the blockade of the Near East coastline by the Anti-Turkish Alliance, the British-Turkish trade ceased.

Why did the materials flow to the Ottoman Empire? It was all illegal merchants who sold them to the Ottoman Empire in order to make huge profits.

Who is it?

This is about to ask the Persian government. The materials flowed from Persia to the past and had no connection with the London government.

...

Looking at the wonderful performances of the British, Franz wanted to say: This is just too much thinking. Now I am busy with controlling the plague. Who has the skills to blame?

Based on this vain thing, apart from adding a bit of blockage to the British government and hacking into their international image, they are powerless.

If you really want to overthrow Britain, then it is not a simple rumor, you can do it.

There is no 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, there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, high or low.

The European world is unlucky, and Britain cannot be alone.

Although the current international situation is somewhat discordant to the British, it is only a minor problem, far from the point where they need to die together.

If it is looted, it is estimated that the least loss should be the Russians.The Bingxue Kingdom has such advantages. The rate of virus growth and spread must be slower.

For details, please refer to: A little mouse frozen to death on the halfway across the road.

When the Black Death plagued the European continent, more than 200,000 people died in the Russian Empire. However, compared with 25 million in the European world, one out of every three Europeans sees God because of illness.

If the British are stolen, unless Austria can reconcile the contradictions of European countries and come up with enough interest to lure everyone to believe that the British did it.

This is more difficult than letting everyone open their eyes to talk nonsense.Whether it is to eliminate conflicts between countries or to bring out sufficient benefits, Franz cannot do it.

Since it won't kill you, then don't just shoot.It's right to find something for the London government and let them cooperate with the epidemic.

Facts have proved that the plague, known as the most lethal plague, is not unreasonable.

Even if the Vienna government took the strictest anti-epidemic measures, the plague still came to the door. The first to be affected was the Austrian soldiers stationed in the Near East.

From the discovery of the first infected person, within a week, three hundred soldiers were infected, and it swelled to two thousand in the next week.

This is still the result of the timely isolation of the epidemic and the spread of rat poison around the military camp. Otherwise, the number of people infected is not the only one.

Army Secretary Feslav: "The spread of this plague is very strong, and our number of infections is not large.

The Russian army that first discovered the outbreak was different. The number of infected people was as high as 35,000. This was only confirmed, and the actual number should be more.

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

The symptoms are not much different from ordinary plagues, but nausea, nausea and fever.

The epidemic situation on our side has just appeared, 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%!

At present, there is no particularly good treatment. Using the best antibiotics can only reduce the mortality rate and cannot guarantee the efficacy.

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

The proportion of 13.2% made Franz feel suddenly heavy.

Although this is not the result of effective treatment, the death rate is still too high.

We must know that the Russian soldiers are young and strong, and the resistance itself is the strongest.If it is replaced by old, weak, sick and disabled, it is estimated that the mortality rate will be even more brutal.

After a little thought, Franz said slowly: "Report this death rate, you can carry out artistic processing, and appropriately exaggerate the lethality of the plague against other age groups.

Note to European countries and tell them that we have determined that the source of the spread of the Black Death is rats.

In order to curb the spread of the Black Death, we plan to distribute rodenticide in large areas in the Near East, requiring at least 400,000 tons of rodenticide."

Needless to say, such a high mortality rate is not "black death", it must be bitten to be "black death".

Only by frightening everyone will European countries make full efforts to produce rat poison and work together to participate in epidemic prevention work.

...

Saint Petersburg, as the biggest victim of this plague, Alexander III is now crying without tears.

To know that a plague will break out in the Near East, he ordered in advance ... Oh, there is no way to leave, Aegis still has to earn.

Undoubtedly, in order to evade the responsibility of the Russian military high-level to conceal the early infection numbers, when the plague was first discovered in official documents, the number of Russian soldiers infected was only 28.

The number of hidden infections is only a temporary measure.So it was added at the back. Aren't the Austrians shouting "Black Death"? In order to alleviate the responsibility, the senior Russian army naturally followed suit.

Since it is the Black Death, fast infection and high mortality are normal, and it is definitely not due to dereliction of duty.

After the modified data reached Alexander III, the severity of the problem increased greatly.

The epidemic detection time was cut in half from man-made.

In just over 20 days, the number of Russian troops killed by the plague exceeded 3,000, and the number of infections exceeded 50,000.

Such data, anyone who sees it will be frightened.Even worse, because of the migration of people, the epidemic is likely to be brought to the country.

Now Alexander III can only expect Siberia to be cold enough to freeze the virus, or it will be miserable if it spreads to the west of the empire.

"What do the Austrians say, we are resettling immigrants for them, the Vienna government can't do without it?"

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

The antibiotics developed by the Royal Austrian Academy of Sciences can inhibit the virus to a certain extent.

The system is starting to catch up, and the Vienna government promises to provide us with 20,000 doses in the next month."

Alexander III frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "That's how it works.

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

Oscar Jimenez explained: "Your Majesty, this medicine is currently not available for industrial production, it can only be made manually in the laboratory.

The output is very small, always in short supply, and the price is higher than the same amount of gold.There are already a lot of 20,000 servings.

In fact, there are also laboratories in China that have obtained patent authorizations, but unfortunately the production technology is too difficult, and only one thousand doses can be produced per month."

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

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

Those authorized are all big names from various countries, and after they have obtained the technology, they have also joined the party that protects the patent.

In line with the principle of rarity and preciousness, everyone tacitly exaggerates the technical difficulty and intentionally limits production capacity.

Of course, the Russian Empire is not necessarily restricting production capacity.After all, this stuff is simple to say, and if a qualified product is produced in the laboratory, no one can do it.

Generally speaking, it is the science and engineering college students with strong hands-on ability who undertake this work.The talents in this area are seriously lacking in the Russian Empire itself.

The Government of Vienna has promised to provide 20,000 doses, which are naturally not entirely artificial.Otherwise, all the products will be given to the Russians, and they will be useless.

The inability to carry out industrial production was the previous thing. After so many years, science and technology have made great progress.

Austria can already achieve mechanized production, but the products produced are flawed. Not only is the defective rate high, but the efficacy will also be reduced.

In order to guarantee the selling price of medicines, the news of industrial production is naturally kept strictly confidential.

Even if someone finds that the medicine is not effective enough, it will only think that the production staff has been careless and has made mistakes in the operation.

Even if the insiders do not know the news, the layman will not even know.After listening to this explanation, Alexander III was moved and broke.
