366 viruses

August in Paris is for foreign tourists. Thermidorian Paris is sunny and bird-scented, making it the best time of the year. Before the outbreak of war, Paris will be full of joy this month, with the Lido on the Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es and the Moulin Rouge on the Montmartre Plateau filled with extravagant laughter.

However, after the outbreak of war, especially from March 1918, when the "cannon of Kaiser Wilhelm" continued to hammer this thousand-year-old city, the laughter and laughter became farther and farther away.

Li Xiaofeng took Princess Anne's arm and strolled through the city, although Her Royal Highness opened the conversation as soon as she returned to her homeland, telling the legendary stories of Paris. But what a certain immortal thought in his heart was that in a few months in history, the Germans would bow their heads and be put on the chopping block as losers to be slaughtered. The Entente bloc, having completed the spoils, will soon set its sights on Russia, a deserter on the way.

For the British, the dismemberment of three empires in one war was too ideal. The Second German Reich is ruined, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is falling apart, the savage polar bears will be drained of blood, the French and the Americans are allies, and there is no force in this world that can threaten the survival of the British Empire!

However, Li Xiaofeng wanted to say no to the dream of the British, it should not be just three empires that were brought down by this war, but four empires, and the British Empire would also become a thing of the past, and the Gallic rooster and the stupid American GIs would be buried with the British Empire.

Why would someone have such confidence? The reason is very simple, he is no longer a half-immortal as before, but a whole immortal. A true immortal. Although he, an immortal, was not worth mentioning in the Heavenly Court back then. But in this world, it is the most terrifying existence.

To celebrate the success of ascension. In order to buy the Bolsheviks a little more time, Li Xiaofeng decided to have some fun with the Entente bloc, but these miscellaneous people have already found a lot of fun for Russia in the past few months, occupying Vladivostok and kidnapping the Russian Pacific Fleet, turning the Far East upside down. These accounts must be well calculated!

After Princess Anne fell asleep, a certain immortal climbed alone to the top of the Eiffel Tower, looking down on Paris like a king, with a very inconspicuous umbrella in his hand. But this umbrella will let the British, French and Americans know what the end of the world is!

The open plague umbrella diffuses a thick black gas, which will invade the whole of Paris and spread like a plague in France, and the destructive power it will greatly surpass that of the Spanish cold.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng is not releasing a deadly virus, and it cannot directly kill the host like SARS or Ebola. What these black gases can affect is mood, he can make people crazy, he can make people crazy, and after a manic catharsis. The host will be extremely tired, as if it had been drained of its spirits. Becomes sleepy and sluggish.

The first to be recruited were the Americans, and Pershing, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, soon discovered that something was wrong, and there were constant reactions from his subordinates, the mood of the army was very unstable, and brawls emerged one after another. At first, General Hammer thought that this was because American GIs couldn't get rid of their cowboy habits, and they habitually wanted to make trouble. Either the soldiers are too motivated and can't wait to go to war.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and his army broke out in tens of thousands of brawls within three days, directly causing thousands of people to fight the war. What was even more terrifying was that five days later, the manic soldiers had suddenly become opium ghosts, interested in nothing, and could not even lift their spirits with the embrace of the sleek French girl.

At this time, Pershing attracted attention, thinking that the Germans had used some new chemical or biological weapon, otherwise his soldiers would not have been so abnormal. General Hammer reacted immediately, quarantining all the "infected" soldiers and sending a large number of doctors, chemists, and biologists to turn the barracks upside down in an attempt to find evidence of the Germans' crimes.

But the horror soon happened, first of all, the doctors and experts who were heavily protected were also recruited, these originally polite readers turned into red-eyed bulls in an instant, a few poor worms were cut by scalpels carotid arteries, and many more poor worms were bruised and swollen.

And that's not even the most frightening thing, even with quarantine measures in place, the new virus or chemical agent is still spreading at an alarming rate. Moreover, people who have been "infected" have no immunity and will be repeatedly infected!

Even Pershing's most admired assistant, Marshall, was tricked, and this extremely talented young man nearly strangled the commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Force one morning over a trivial matter.

The Americans were completely out of choice and could only ask for help from the old imperialists. At that time, the British and French were still a little proud, because when these American nouveau riche, these damned local tyrants, arrived in Europe, they were very arrogant and showed off their wealth. Let the cow cow and the rooster be jealous.

Now that the nouveau riche are in trouble, it is a great pleasure to turn to these poor cousins for help!

However, the British and the French were not happy for long, and soon it was their turn to be recruited, and their numbers were greater, and the scope and losses caused by the natural attack were greater. What made them even more embarrassed was that they didn't know what was going on in the road?

Mad cow disease? Or is it snake spirit?

The experts of the Entente countries could not sleep all night, their hair fell out, and all kinds of methods were exhausted, but they could not control the situation at all. The situation was getting worse day by day, and the unknown virus soon spread from the military camp to the civilian population.

All sorts of more joyful scenes are one after another, and anyone who seems perfectly normal can start to go crazy in the blink of an eye - it may be verbal abuse, it may be a fight, and the police are overwhelmed by law and order incidents, and the streets are in chaos, shops are closed, factories are closed, and farmers let the yellow, orange and orange wheat rot in the fields, as if the end of the world is coming.

Not to mention, the really brainy god stick seized the opportunity to hype up the end of the world, the most rude judgment, and ruthlessly amassed a lot of money.

"The situation is critical!" The Supreme Commander of the Entente, Foch, said worriedly. "Our army is in disarray. A third of the soldiers were fighting. A third of the soldiers were waiting to die, and a third were stupefied. If it goes on like this, the total collapse of the army will not be a joke! ”

PΓ©tain also said: "Compared with the situation in the army, the situation in our country is not far behind, this month's military production has been seriously affected, production has fallen by more than 50%, and there is a continuous downward trend, and so on." In no more than three months, we'll be finished! ”

In fact, Petain's estimate was too optimistic, and in less than three months, another month of chaos like this, France would have collapsed.

Haig also looked worried: "If this damn virus crosses the channel and reaches our country, the situation will be even more tricky!" It is imperative that every means must be done to keep this damned virus at bay on the European continent! ”

Haig's words upset Petain and Foch, the damned British, who have always only thought about their own interests, and the priority is to find out what the virus is doing and must find a way to fight it. And not just to guarantee that Great Britain is not affected.

"What about the Americans?" Foch suddenly asked, the military meeting of the Entente. There's no reason why Pershing shouldn't attend.

Haig smiled bitterly: "John was also infected by the virus, he almost crashed into the Seine last night......"

The corners of Foch's and Petain's mouths twitched twice. No one spoke, because no one knew what Lu Dao should say, and God knew if they would be the next ones to be recruited.

After a long time, Foch asked with a wry smile: "What about the situation in other countries and regions?" It can't be that the virus is only raging in France, right? And what about the Germans? They should be choking enough, right? ”

Hegel's expression on his face was very strange, and he struggled for a moment before telling the truth: "Although I am very reluctant to admit it, I have to say that this damned virus is indeed only in France, and to be specific, only on our side...... Germans are healthy, no! ”

"It can't be!" Petain exclaimed.

"It's a fact." "According to the reaction of the intelligence services, the Germans seem to have been prepared, and their troops seem to have used a very effective medicine against that mysterious virus!" ”

Petain and Foch glanced at each other, they are not fools, things are too strange, how could the Germans prepare special drugs in advance, there is only one answer, that is, the virus was made up by the Germans.

"These scumbags!" The two marshals cursed the Germans in unison, "It is a shame that they will not be able to defeat us on a frontal battlefield, so they will use such shameless means!" ”

Haig's mood is very stable, in order to win this war, the two sides have already done everything, and it is not the first time that bacteriological warfare and chemical warfare have begun, what is more strange is, how did the Germans come up with such a terrible thing?

In fact, the Germans were quite shocked, when a certain immortal approached them and proposed to cooperate, they all agreed that someone was talking crazy, who could solve a million enemies on their own?

And now, a certain immortal has done it, the army of the Entente has been in chaos, France has been in chaos, and even the chaos in the island of Great Britain can be predicted. This kind of joy from heaven made the Germans overjoyed, and they almost bowed to a certain immortal.

However, what a certain immortal wants is not to bow down, he is quite realistic - this is a transaction, everyone takes what they need. The price that the Germans need to pay for this is part of the industrial technology, involving machine tools, power, optics and metallurgy.

Seriously, the Germans weren't very happy about it, but for the sake of one more chance to make a last-ditch throw, the Germans put up with it, because they were desperate. The original rear offensive started with heavy thunder and little rain, and it barely managed to move forward. Pessimistic, they were even considering making peace with the Entente if the war did not improve in September or October.

And Li Xiaofeng only took half a month to completely confuse the Allied army in the direction of Verdun, if nothing else, they are very likely to break through this line of defense and fight all the way to Paris!

The Germans happily paid for everything a certain immortal wanted, partly out of surprise and partly out of deep apprehension. If it is not obediently honored, and someone stops supplying that special medicine, will the great German soldiers also collapse like clown-like Entente soldiers?

The Germans did not dare to take risks, let alone gamble on luck, and they were strict by nature while trying to stabilize Li Xiaofeng. On the other hand, they are also actively cracking the special drug and the mysterious virus. Of course. Progress was as unsmooth as that of the Entente.

End of August. When the Allied forces defending the gateway to Paris were completely disorganized, the murderous Germans delivered a fatal blow! Verdun, which had held back the Germans for several years, was crushed in one fell swoop, and neither Foch, Petain, nor Haig, nor Pershing could close the gap, and after Verdun was broken, the Allied front collapsed in an instant. The soldiers threw off their armor and fled all the way to the city of Paris, which would have fallen if it had not been for the overly cautious pursuit of the Germans.

"The front must be steady! The Germans must be blocked! "Foch turned out to be exactly like a virus. Even more manic, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very angry! The consequences are severe! ”

But his yelling did nothing to boost morale, and Petain said dejectedly: "What are we going to do to stabilize the front?" The soldiers are either crazy or stupid, and they can't let the three of us fight the German army, right? ”

In this regard, Foch is also at a loss, and the soldiers' lack of strength makes him, the commander-in-chief, very helpless! But now it's almost impossible to get a soldier to do it.

Haig gave a suggestion: "Let the Americans hurry to get the soldiers to France, we urgently need them." In addition, can we mobilize a reserve force? ”

This is whimsical, the American expeditionary force cannot fly to France, and the combat effectiveness of the Americans is quite limited. It is no match for the wolf-like German killing machine. As for the mobilization of reserve forces, Nima. So far, where is the reserve strength?

The commanders-in-chief fell into a deathly silence, and they had nothing to do about the current predicament, but fortunately they were not the ones in charge of the Entente. The governments of various countries are not paralyzed, they are still trying to find a way to do it, and they don't need to think of a way, a certain immortal will be happy to solve the practical difficulties for them.

"Ambrera Inc.? Ericsson. Nobel? Clemenceau pouted, he had never heard of the company, let alone Erikson. In this moment of anxiety, he asked impatiently, "What do they do?" ”

His Excellency the Prime Minister's assistant replied in a whisper: "This is a Swedish pharmaceutical company. Mr. Nobel is the president of the enterprise. ”

Clemenceau was still impatient: "I don't have time to meet some cats and dogs, and now there is an unusually serious crisis waiting for me to solve!" I don't have time to waste! ”

Clemenceau almost didn't explicitly say that Eriksen was going to get out, but the assistant who received Eriksen's 10,000 francs in favor was still very "dutiful" and explained: "But this Erikson. Mr. Nobel declares that his company has a cure-all solution to the current crisis! ”

Clemenceau was tempted to say, "Fart! "Several well-known pharmaceutical companies in Europe, hundreds of experts can't solve the problem, you a nobody dare to pat your chest and amplify words? Ridiculous!

But now he is also sick and rushed to the doctor, there is no way, when he sees this unashamed guy, he should be a dead horse and a live horse doctor!

Clemenceau would never regret this decision, and years later he boasted in his memoirs: "At that most critical moment, there was no one within the Allies who could do it, there was chaos everywhere, pessimism everywhere." As Prime Minister of the great French Republic, I have never been pessimistic, I have never given up, I firmly believe that God is on the side of France...... My persistence and my efforts finally paid off, and after patient work, I finally found a business that could solve the crisis and personally persuaded them to serve the great French...... This saved the country and the people, and it was the wisest and proudest decision of my life! ”

The reality, of course, was that Eriksen came to the door and through his efforts persuaded the stubborn Clemenceau to give Ambrera and France a chance.

A few days later, when the results of the trial were in front of Clemenceau, the old man, who was already exhausted, could not help but let out a cheer, and he knew that he had retained his premiership.

"Send an order to Ambrera immediately, we need at least a million copies of the special medicine, this is just a conservative estimate, we have millions of troops, there are tens of millions of people, they all need this special medicine!"

Clemenceau took a breath and then said in an unquestioning tone, "Of course, we can't pin all our hopes on Ambrera. We should immediately imitate this special drug, the sooner the better! What the? Patent? Don't care what shit patents! What we have to do now is to win this war, and the question of what patents will be discussed after victory! ”

Clemenceau confidently thought that with the scientific and technological strength of France, it would be a piece of cake to imitate the drugs of a small company that had never been famous, but reality gave him a heavy slap in the face, although the imitation of the special drug was exactly the same as the one provided by Ambrera, but it did not have the slightest effect!

Because a certain immortal has long been guarding against this hand, for the big hooligan, it is normal to eat without believing in his words and vomiting and eating. The so-called special drug is nothing but methamphetamine, and the one who can really fight the so-called virus is actually him, an immortal.

"Don't be afraid to sell for a high price!" A certain immortal said loudly on the board of directors, "The Entente countries are already red-eyed, and the Americans have generously untied their money bags, and if you don't slaughter them at this time, when will you wait!" (To be continued......)
