The turbulent year of 1919 passed in a flash, and the theme of the year was - epidemic, epidemic, epidemic, and then there was speculation about the causes and consequences of the "American flu"!

The Wilson administration did not sit still, overseas assets were lost, international claims were lost, and those things could not be brought back anyway!

The most important thing is to guide public opinion, as long as this pandemic is diverted from the US government, it will be a victory!

As a result, various speculations began to circulate among the people, such as:

1. Unexpectedly, the leak at the Texas chemical plant coincided with the flu, and an unexpected combination of viruses triggered the flu; (This explanation is a professional answer given by the American Academy of Sciences)

2. Conspiracy theory, a certain careerist was conducting secret research at a Texas chemical plant and accidentally had an accident, causing a virus leak; (The most popular saying)

3. Coincidence theory + conspiracy theory, the flu virus and the chemical plant leak just happened to collide, and then it was used by anti-American forces in Europe; (Publicly advertised by the U.S. government)

4. Framing theory, the influenza virus is artificially created, but the maker is not the US government, but the enemy of the US government, deliberately released in the United States, the purpose is to create chaos in the United States, but the virus has mutated, causing the American flu all over the world;

5. Science fiction, the prelude to alien invasion of the earth;

6. Paleovirus theory, N1 virus is a virus lurking in fossils, and fossils were treated as ordinary stones by American GIs and used to build barracks.

7. Devil's theory, the devil who escaped from Ankara lurked in the United States, and then created this virus, trying to use the virus to eliminate mankind and unify the earth;

……

It has to be said that the Wilson administration really worked hard, and in order to reduce the pressure, various versions of rumors circulated around the world to attract the attention of the public.

The effect is not bad, at least much better than the previous accusations of the US government, in order to clear the suspicion, the US government even disclosed all the expenses, even the unsightly espionage funds.

Wilson doesn't care anymore, no matter how influential other things are, the big deal is to be scolded, no matter how much trouble there is, it's not half as big as this time!

The investigation team of the League of Nations, in the United States, also did not go well, first of all, all the knowledge was hanging, and secondly, the N1 virus is different from others, its transmission can be carried out through the air, and the vitality is not very strong, the longest incubation period is a few months.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the virus, no valuable information was found, and of course the U.S. government was ready to make a scapegoat and took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility for the leak of the Texas chemical plant, but unfortunately the League of Nations did not recognize it!

Because so much time has passed, there is no way to investigate the responsibility of the accident, the most typical is the original chemical plant, which is now in ruins, and cannot explain the problem.

For Ferdinand, no result is the best! In the United States in this era, the national centripetal force is not strong, and the longer this time drags on, the greater the mental pressure of the American people.

Coupled with the severance of overseas trade, most of the factories in the United States are reducing production capacity, and even some export-oriented companies are already facing difficulties and hovering on the verge of bankruptcy.

If it weren't for the hard work of domestic conglomerates, the wave of bankruptcy in the United States would have broken out now, and even so, everyone's life would not be easy!

In order to stabilize the situation, the Wilson government was forced to close the stock exchange, but this closure will always open one day, and once it opens again, it will be when the US stock market crashes, and a large number of companies have suffered heavy losses overseas, and now they are insolvent.

It can be said that the longer the time drags on, the more serious the internal crisis of the United States will be, and it will even collapse on its own, which is exactly what Britain and France want, if they can kill the Americans without blood, who is willing to launch a cross-sea expedition except Japan?

……

Just when everyone thought that the flu was going to pass, in the winter of 1919, the flu broke out again, which scared everyone and panicked, thinking that the flu virus had evolved again!

Ferdinand was also taken aback, but fortunately the flu did not start in Eastern Europe, giving Bulgaria time to react, closing the port that had just resumed navigation, and the whole country returned to martial law again.

Well, the protagonist is not omnipotent, at least the time of the last wave of the epidemic, he misjudged it, and thought that it would not break out until spring.

This is Baidu's pot, who let the information on the Internet, this flu disappeared in 1919? If you don't remember that there were three waves, it is estimated that the Bulgarian government will declare the end of the epidemic?

Fortunately, the mortality rate of the last wave of the epidemic is not high, of course, this is only relative to the second wave, and after a circle around the world, nearly 10 million people still died because of it!

It was not until the end of the spring of 1920 that mankind came out of the shadow of the "American flu", but the matter was certainly not over!

On May 1, 1920, the Royal Academy of Sciences made an announcement announcing that after smallpox and the Black Death, the third devastating virus facing the human world, the N1 virus, had declined and would no longer cause large-scale harm to mankind!

Reasons: 1. Influenza viruses are also life cycled, and after the end of the life span of the original virus, the virulence of the new virus has weakened in circulation, and the transmissibility has been greatly reduced;

2. After being cured of influenza virus infection, antibodies have been produced in the human body, and the threat has been reduced.

The British explained that on the surface it was announced that the flu epidemic was over, but the proposal of the "original virus" led the public's target to the United States.

As evidence mounts that the Texas chemical plant leak is linked to the "American flu," the Wilson administration has surprised the world with a performance this time.

The spokesman for the US Foreign Ministry, at an open press conference, announced:

The US Government deeply regrets the recent "American flu" and has actively cooperated with the investigation of the cause of the virus.

So far, all the evidence points to the Texas chemical plant leak, and the case has reached an impasse due to the fact that the parties involved have died due to the accident.

The U.S. government has never conducted any biochemical research at the Texas chemical plant, and every expenditure of our government has been made public, including the flow of bank funds, and you are welcome to check it.

As a responsible country, we will continue to cooperate with the investigation team to investigate those responsible, and we apologize deeply for the victims, because it is our government's failure to do its job properly and to carry out comprehensive supervision of the chemical plant that caused this disaster!

In the face of this disaster, everyone is a victim, the virus does not recognize people, and the United States of America has paid a terrible price, and we have the highest number of deaths among all countries in this flu pandemic.

At present, the number of deaths has exceeded 3.8 million, and most of them are young and strong, and the average life expectancy in the United States has dropped by 12 years for two consecutive years!

The U.S. government hereby states that as the place where this accident broke out, we have an unshirkable responsibility, and we will discuss the issue of pensions with the families of the victims.

And here is a solemn promise that the US government has decided not to let go of any relevant responsible persons in this accident, and at the first time of the accident, we have removed all relevant government officials from their posts and sent them to the court, so that everyone can supervise, and we must definitely give a satisfactory explanation to the families of the victims!

……

Avoid the important and light, this is the choice made by the Wilson administration, now the Texas chemical plant has been hacked and can no longer be hacked, everyone thinks that this flu is related to the leak of the chemical plant, so just admit it! Anyway, even Wilson himself thinks that this flu virus is related to the leak of the chemical plant!

It has to do with the leakage of the chemical plant, which can only show that the capitalists neglect safety in order to make money; So this pot is simply for them to carry on their backs, as long as it is proved that the government is not involved in biological and chemical weapons research.

At the same time, he also put the US government in the position of the victim, Ferdinand is sure that the United States did not die so many people in the history of the pandemic, so there is a cat in it.

People must have died, as for whether they died because of the flu, it is difficult to say, a little dark conjecture, does not rule out the bitter tricks deliberately made by the Americans!

How can a few people become one of the victims? The Wilson administration knows that the American consortium is even less stupid!

In order to get out, it is completely feasible to sacrifice the lives of some poor people, but there are a large number of non-nationals in the United States, and it is not distressing to die some people!

Specific operation, since the hospital can save people, then it can naturally kill people, and the consortium behind the scenes can create a secret massacre as long as they are willing!

Ferdinand frowned, and when the death toll in the United States surpassed that of continental Europe, things changed again.

People's hearts are so delicate, they can't see that others are better than themselves, but when they see others worse than themselves, many people's sympathy comes up again!

If it does not intervene, the U.S. government will only have to pay a terrible price, and the crisis will be over, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity to deal with them.

Foreign Minister Metev asked: "Your Majesty, the Americans have just sent us a diplomatic note to discuss the issue of pensions with the families of the victims, do we want to refuse?" ”

Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Give me a refusal, and tell the Americans that we reject all bilateral exchanges until we can prove the innocence of the US government!" ”

"Yes!" Metyev replied

Pension? Ghost soothing? Just the thousands of people who died in Bulgaria, only a few dollars? And the big gang of dead people in the colony, who knows who their families are?

If they were really let go so easily, would the confiscated property have to be returned? If you lose the loan, you will continue to pay it later?

Rather than this, Ferdinand is willing to fight with the Americans, at least there are many allies now, the Japanese are activists, and the British also have the intention of doing something to the Americans, as long as they push again, they are not afraid that they will not be able to fight!

After a pause, Ferdinand made a decision: "The Foreign Office made a showdown directly to the government in London, telling Britain to fight if it wants, and we Bulgaria fully support it, and if the ink continues, we will not play!" ”
