"Bird flu??" Zeng Gong put down the knife in his hand, stood up suddenly, and asked nervously.

"Indiana and Illinois. Thomas took a deep breath to make his breath more even, and said worriedly.

"Whew. Zeng Gong calmed down instantly, fortunately, the situation was not too bad.

Illinois and Indiana are far away from each other in the east of Montana, and they are not destinations for migratory birds, so they are theoretically safe, but now that transportation is so developed, many birds have the habit of migrating long distances, which is not something to be taken lightly.

"What do the county and state governments say?" Zeng Gong motioned for Thomas to sit down, took a cup of coffee and handed it to him.

"The county is investigating the situation on farms and farms in Park County, and the state has taken conservative steps to monitor bird arrivals from other states, especially in the east. Thomas shook his head and said worriedly.

He does not believe in the various measures taken by the government at all, he is too conservative. Since he was younger, the government has suffered more than once because of its conservative policies, and he has been in exile for a while, and it is really difficult to look back on the days when he worked for other people.

"Turn on all the monitoring in our ranch, there must be 24 hours of monitoring, so that the security team can expand the scope of inspection, especially on the periphery of the ranch, if necessary, install infrasound devices to drive away the birds, we can't rely on the government, we have to act." Zeng Gong said with a frown.

"But, Zeng, have you ever thought that there are other pastures around us. Thomas looked at Zeng Gong in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so extreme, which could easily cause unnecessary conflicts.

It is not unheard of in history, and even bloody clashes have broken out, and if it were not for the timely intervention of the National Guard, I don't know what the consequences would be. Just because of the struggle for a small water right in a good year, more than a dozen people were seriously injured.

"Then negotiate. Zeng Gong waved his hand vigorously, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

He can't afford to lose, if the epidemic really breaks out in Qinglian Ranch, he will suffer huge losses, after all, his cattle, vegetables, and fish are sold at a very high price, and he must take decisive measures, even if the means are extreme, the bird flu is too terrible.

"What's the matter, Zeng, you're in trouble?" Roger asked with concern, standing up first, walking up to the two of them.

"There have been bird flu in Indiana and Illinois. Zeng Gong said heavily.

"Exactly?" Roger asked calmly, raising an eyebrow.

Their family's main business is not agriculture and animal husbandry, and they don't have much sense of avian flu, and they are often able to analyze things as outsiders.

I don't know, Zeng Gong is a little confused now, if it is H5N1 avian flu, it can even cause panic, the scene that once raged in Southeast Asia is really chilling, and most importantly, it can infect humans, and the mortality rate is very high.

Zeng Gong looked at Thomas, but he didn't expect the latter to shrug his shoulders in confusion.

How could I not know the specific information, Zeng Gong was anxious all of a sudden, picked up the phone and called directly to the governor's office.

"Hehe, Mr. Zeng, have you had a good time in New York, I heard that you went to George Ford, have you gained anything?" asked Mr. Governor of Montana with a relaxed face.

Because of the emergence of Qinglian Ranch, Montana's popularity in the upper class society has been greatly enhanced, especially the investment attracted by Park County, which is enough to make other counties blush, and because of the great increase in taxes, Montana has seen the dawn of the financial crisis in advance.

"George Shoal was not bad, but it was a bit boring to stay on the cruise all day and came back early. Zeng Gong saw that the governor was very enthusiastic and had to respond.

"Governor Brian, I heard about bird flu in Illinois and Indiana, I wonder if you know the specifics?"

Now Zeng Gong is very nervous, Qinglian Ranch is very young, although there are experienced cowboys in charge, but they do not have any experience in dealing with avian flu, and all kinds of wind and grass are still highly concerned.

"It's H9N2, but the source has been found, it's the upstream feed company that has been polluted, and now the source has been controlled, and all the feed products that flow out have been recycled, you don't have to worry, the state government has done enough early warning mechanism, I believe that in half a month, the crisis will pass." Governor Bryan smiled and told all the information he had, and he could hear Zeng Gong's nervousness.

"If the source is found, isn't there no danger anymore?" Zeng Gong instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zeng, you are too naïve, although the source has been found and has been controlled, but can you guarantee that there is no omission in many links, the situation facing epidemic prevention is still very serious, and only when there is no new epidemic during the incubation period, our work can be easier. Governor Brian said with a wry smile.

The problems are too complex, especially the avian flu epidemic is definitely the number one killer, and as a governor, you must have the courage to deal with the problem decisively, always keep an eye on the latest news, and act cheaply.

"Then you have to keep an eye on it. Zeng Gong was a little annoyed when he heard this, he hated this kind of sudden incident that was not under his control.

"This is also something that can't be helped, Zeng, you know that our state is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and the wealth is not as good as those rich states on the east and west coastlines, and the main body of prevention is still you ranchers, and the state government can only do its best. Governor Brian said with some humility.

There is no way, it is difficult for the daughter-in-law to cook without rice.

The industry is underdeveloped, and the state government's tax rate is less than that of other states, and it has to regularly carry out agricultural subsidies, various infrastructure construction, medical care, public health and other expenditures have long been stretched, this is still a relatively relaxed economic environment, and now the economic crisis ah.

"Huh. Zeng Gong sneered a few times, coped with a few words indifferently, and immediately put down the phone.

"Zeng, how's the situation?" Thomas asked anxiously when he saw Zeng Gong put down the phone.

"The source has been contained, but omissions in the details are inevitable, and the state government has left us to fend for ourselves. Zeng Gong said mockingly.

"Shit, damn politicians, our taxpayers' money, all embezzled by these filthy guys. When Thomas heard this, he immediately burst into a rage.

"Alright, Thomas, just get used to it. ”
