[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 435: Rat King No. 1 (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

These Japanese generals in the conference room are not stupid, they have heard about Manchurian Unit 731 and Shiro Ishii, and they know what these people do. Therefore, if you think about it carefully, you can know how the front army dealt with the threat of Ma Zheng's department, so when they heard the word plague, no one in the conference room was surprised.

Although everyone was a little worried in their hearts, after all, this was a plague, the most terrifying and uncontrollable demon in the world. It is too normal for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to die in the face of the plague, and this thing is really difficult to control, and if you don't get it right, you will be burned.

Perhaps seeing the idea of becoming officers again, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumifumi said: "Although the plague that broke out in the territory of the Suicha Military Region in China this time was run by the front army, the specific situation is not very clear to me and His Excellency the Commander, so let's let Takahashi-kun explain it to us in detail!" ”

Takahashi Shaosa immediately got up and said: "Generals, the lowly Kotaro Takahashi, the leader of the first plague squad of Unit 731 of the Kwantung Army. The plague that broke out in Chahar this time was the use of the Rat King No. 1 germ, a type of virulent plague. A total of 300 pathogens were selected for this time, including 200 in Zhangjiakou and 50 in Fengzhen and Xinghe counties, and these pathogens had been mixed into the Chinese captives before the prisoners were exchanged, and then sent back to their defense areas by the Chinese people. ”

"Takahashi-kun, can you tell us about this rat king virus?" Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro immediately asked.

"The Rat King No. 1 bacterium is a new controllable plague virus newly developed by our 731 troops, which is not transmitted through rats or other animals, but through saliva or skin sweat glands. Moreover, this new type of plague has the characteristics of being easily infected, spreading quickly, and difficult to cure. Kotaro Takahashi replied loudly.

"In your estimation, what will the effect of these 300 pathogens be achieved in the end?" Umezu Mijiro asked again.

"Your Excellency, with the speed of infection of the Rat King No. 1 virus, at most, Zhangjiakou and the surrounding counties and districts will become a dead city, and within a month, the plague will spread to the entire defense area of the Suicha Military Region. Neither civilians nor the military will be able to avoid it, and the only way to do so is to kill an infected person and incinerate the body. It's a pity that the people of China have lost the opportunity, and once the number of infected people exceeds 5,000, this plague can no longer be controlled by man! Kotaro Takahashi said proudly.

"Takahashi Shaosa, you just said that this is a new type of virus that can be controlled, which means that we have a cure for this virus, right?" Umezu Mijiro is most worried about the plague getting out of control, after all, the plague has always been the most difficult to control, and once the plague spreads throughout China, I don't know who will benefit it, after all, the number of the imperial army is far less than that of China.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we have developed an antidote, and we promise that it will not infect us!" Kotaro Takahashi said immediately.

"Yo Xi!" Umezu Mijiro nodded with satisfaction, what he was most worried about was that the plague was out of control and spread to the Japanese expatriates and soldiers in China, and now that the Imperial Army had mastered the cure for the plague, he was relieved.

"Takahashi-kun, will the people of Shina also have the means to cure the plague?" Lieutenant General Ozaka Kamezo also asked.

"No way, unless they can get the pathogen of the Rat King 1 and then formulate a vaccine. But this is impossible, the pathogenic bacteria of Rat King No. 1 are not in North China now, and with the medical level of the people of China, even if there are pathogenic bacteria, it is impossible for them to formulate a vaccine or an antidote. Therefore, the only result of this time is that the only result of the Zhina Ma Zheng Department is to be completely wiped out by the Rat King No. 1 virus, even if some of them are lucky enough to escape this catastrophe, but they will definitely be greatly damaged, and it is a miracle that 100,000 people can survive one-tenth of them. Kotaro Takahashi was clearly confident in the plague virus they had developed, and said loudly.

Then Takahashi Kotaro continued: "Excellencies, the incubation period of Rat King No. 1 is a week and a large number of ten days, and now it is the eighth day, and from tomorrow, the people of Shina will enter a peak period of death, and if there is no antidote, the first batch of infected people will all die. ”

"All dead!" Everyone was amazed.

"Yes, all dead! According to General Ishii's prediction, if the Rat King No. 1 does not mutate this time, it will kill one-third of the population of the two provinces in Suicha within half a year. If the Chinese had not imposed traffic restrictions in the week before the outbreak began, the area could have been extended to Shanxi, Hebei, Rehe, Suiyuan, and further afield to Shaanxi and Henan, and the death toll would have increased accordingly. ”

After Takahashi finished speaking, these senior Japanese officers in the conference room gasped. Nima, it turns out that the most terrifying thing is not these generals, but these military doctors. They only kill people by a calculation, and no matter how crazy they are, they can only kill tens of thousands of people. Look at these military doctors, as soon as they open their mouths, they are calculated based on the total population of a province.

Although Chahar Province is not large, sparsely populated, and not very populated, it is still a province with at least two or three million people. How much is a third, at least a million people, that is to say, this little white-faced military doctor can eliminate a million people at one time, it's too fucking terrifying, whether it is the Fifth Division with the title of the Steel Army or the Sixth Division with the title of the Beast Army, it is simply weak compared to others.

With Takahashi Masahiko's words, all the officers in the conference room knew that Ma Zheng's department was in big trouble this time, even if the Japanese Imperial Army did not attack them, they would not be able to bounce for long, and the terrifying plague would eliminate them instead of the Imperial Army.

Now not only could the Imperial Army attack them, but they also had to prevent them from spreading the plague to the territory occupied by the Imperial Army. Once the epidemic enters the occupied area, even if the Imperial Army has the vaccine for the Rat King I, it will be extremely troublesome to solve.

After a long time, General Sugiyama Yuan spoke: "Gentlemen, the situation is roughly like this, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”

Yamashita Fengwen immediately said: "Your Excellency, I believe that the most important thing at the moment is not to launch an attack on the Suicha Military Region of China, but to block the territory of the displaced people in the area under the jurisdiction of the Suicha Military Region who are pouring into the front army. After all, the plague is a terrible contagious disease, and even if the Imperial Army has the antidote, if the scope of the disease is too large, the Imperial Army will not be able to control it. ”

Takahashi Shaosa also stood up and said: "Your Excellency Commander, what General Yamashita said is very reasonable, although we have mastered the method of curing the plague, if the scope of the infection is too large, it will be difficult to take into account the entire occupied area with the amount of medicine we have prepared. In addition, more importantly, the Rat King No. 1 virus may also mutate, once mutated, the antidote we have will completely lose its effect, but it is really troublesome, so do a good job or don't let this virus flow into our defense area! ”

"Yo Xi, then increase the manpower to patrol the place where the two defense areas meet, and if you encounter an unknown person, you can shoot directly, and I will not let a person into the area occupied by our army!" Sugiyama said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, Commander, although it is unlikely that the Chinese will be able to prepare an antidote, the Humble Rank still thinks that it is necessary for the Imperial Army to accumulate some troops in the border areas. On the one hand, it is to guard against the retaliation of Ma Zheng's department, and on the other hand, if Ma Zheng's department gets the antidote, we must immediately attack and wipe it out while his vitality is still alive. The commander of the 26th Division, Norihide Abe, spoke.

"Revenge? The people of China are already mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, so they still have the energy to retaliate against the imperial army, I think Abe-kun was frightened by the people of China! Hahaha! Ogaka Kamizo said with a laugh.

"Yes, in the face of the plague, I'm afraid that the people of China don't even have the strength to resist, how to retaliate against the imperial army, Abe-kun is too worried!"

Abe Norihide did not show much anger and dissatisfaction because of everyone's ridicule, but said lightly: "The humble position is just a suggestion, with the humble position's understanding of Ma Zheng, this person is a real military strategist, not only has unbelievable tactical skills, but also has great strategic vision. The plague is terrifying, but it may not be able to stop this person. ”

Sugiyama Mototo thought for a moment and said, "Although Abe-kun's hypothetical scenario is indeed a bit unlikely, our goal is to completely wipe out the Shina-to-Hachiro, so it is still necessary to hoard a considerable force in the border area. Order, the 10th Division, the 26th and 27th Divisions, and the 110th Division will assemble along Xuanhua, Tianzhen, and Datong from now on, and be ready to attack the defense area of the people of China at any time! ”

"Hay!"
