Chapter 421 421 Expansion
Schwartzkov was reluctant to bear the charge of killing American soldiers, even if it was debatable whether they could now be called human. This indecision and lack of responsibility ultimately led to a further deterioration of the situation.
On the night of the third day of the virus outbreak, a soldier of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division of the United States, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly mutated and became an infected madman, attacking the other three soldiers he was sleeping with. Fortunately, the four infected soldiers were immediately killed by the guards on duty when they tried to attack the others.
After investigation, it is very likely that the soldier who was initially diseased was accidentally stained with the blood of a madman on the battlefield, and then he did not take it seriously, and finally became a madman. Although it was clear, there were also worries. Fighting the invasion of these madmen on the battlefield may also make the soldiers infected with the virus, and this fact has made many American soldiers panic.
Schwartzkov did not actively deal with the problem at this time, but contacted the commanders of other countries, hoping that their troops could cooperate with the American army in the defense of the plague. However, everyone knows that the closer you get to those madmen, the more likely you are to be attacked by these madmen and then infected, so there is no positive expression from Britain, France, China and Arab countries. For example, Syria, Morocco, Egypt and other countries have even expressed their intentions, saying that the war is over and they want to withdraw from the war zone, which is obviously a gesture that they do not want to share weal and woe.
But the control was not entirely in Schwartzkov's hands, so he had no control over these people's decisions.
Basra, Majid naturally knew what was going on in front of him, and was very satisfied with it, and he also specially commended several Iraqi special forces who carried out the operation. However, Majid's happiness did not last long, as he soon discovered that the multinational forces had confined the madmen to a desert area, preventing the outbreak he had hoped for not going well.
Because of his excellent actions, the previous special forces leader has won the trust of Majid and become one of his personal soldiers, and has been allowed to be vaccinated with the Mad Virus, which is not the honor that everyone around Majid has, which is also regarded as his most trusted subordinate.
In fact, the leader of the special forces did not have any consciousness of "death for the confidant", but after knowing what the virus was, he shuddered when he remembered that Majid sent him and his team to the multinational force's war zone to drop the biochemical virus. He was furious at Majid, but his fear outweighed his anger, and Majid had too many ways to destroy him. Although he himself has received the vaccine and can not be affected by the virus, his relatives are still in the hands of Majid, and at any time if Majid does not follow his wishes, his relatives may be greatly affected.
"Although the virus has entered the bodies of the invaders, it has not had the effect as expected, there are only thousands of infected people, and they are concentrated in one place, and it is impossible to expand it at all, do you have any ideas?" Majid asked the leader of the special forces beside him casually.
The leader of the special forces immediately expressed his loyalty: "If Your Excellency wants to send the virus again, we are willing to live and die, and spread the virus to other units of the multinational force to expand the spread." ”
Majid shook his head and said: "Your first success is actually quite thrilling, and the vigilance of the US military must be very high now, and if you use the same method, it may not work." And now this news has not caused panic in the world of the world, which makes me very unhappy, only by letting the virus spread on a larger scale, so that everyone in the world knows that there is such a terrible virus, can I meet my requirements. ”
The leader of the special forces looked at Majid, whose eyes were shining with a cold light, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"It's a shame that a few Shia villages in the south are an eyesore to stay there, and many of them have chosen to cooperate with the invaders, and these scum should be exterminated. You go this time and don't do anything to the multinational force again, just spread the virus among the Shiite scum in that area, only more infected people, more complex people, and a wider area can defeat those invaders! ”
The leader of the special forces was shocked, and his face was also pale, he did not expect that Majid would choose to massacre the inhabitants of his country and use them as a vector for the virus to attack the multinational force. It has to be said that this is really very tactically very good, because the settlements are very scattered, and after the infected area is expanded, it will become difficult for the multinational force to block the virus again, and the virus will eventually sweep through the area like a wildfire, and the multinational force is likely to end up with terrible madmen, and failure means that they are also being maniacized.
This is undoubtedly a crazy and bloody plan, the leader of the special forces wants to stop Majid, but he knows from looking at Majid's expression that if he says anything to advise, he may be executed by this guy immediately. This is not the first time Majid has done such a thing, a year or two ago he slaughtered thousands of Kurds, even if they are Iraqi by nationality, but in Majid's mind they are scum and dregs that must be removed.
For the leader of the special forces, he will naturally not be as extreme as Majid, but he will not have any good feelings for the Kurds and Shia Muslims, so although he struggled, for the sake of his life and future, the leader of the special forces still chose to accept this task.
This time, instead of just one team, he commanded dozens of squads like his previous one to spread the virus to the local Shia community in the south on a large scale and more easily. Ordinary people don't care as much about drinking water safety and the like as the Multinational Force, and the Middle East is still very short of water, and the lack of water resources means that they have very few ways to get water.
The effect of such an attack was so alarming that almost overnight, there were a large number of madmen in dozens of Shiite settlements, hamlets and towns, and there were not many multinational forces and policemen themselves in the area, and even fewer people with guns, so that when the madmen launched a contagious attack, there was no power to stop them.
It wasn't until nearly 20 hours after the incident that Saudi troops patrolling nearby discovered that the virus outbreak outside the quarantine zone was not the only case, and that they had discovered the presence of the madman in a small town in southern Iraq, about 40 kilometers away from the quarantine zone.
The Saudi army was in a panic when confronted by unarmed madmen, and the panic of madmen caused them to shoot and kill these unarmed madmen. At least more than 100 Shiite Muslim residents of Iraq were killed here in the killing.
No one cares about the life and death of the Iraqis, and the appearance of madmen in a large area has greatly frightened the joint operations command, and this time Schwartzkov has ordered all departments to hunt down and kill those madmen who are raging, and the troops with conditions must wear three-defense uniforms, and armored troops are forbidden to come out of the vehicles at will.
Schwartzkov knew that the situation could no longer be as he had thought and waited for Dr. Klein and other medical experts to develop an antidote, and that if the outbreak of the virus could not be completely suppressed by vigorous and resolute means, then Iraq, Kuwait, and even the entire Middle East and the world would become a playground for this mad virus.
He had to ask the White House for permission to use aerial power on the madmen who raided everywhere and to kill them on a large scale. Even at such times, he wants to shift the blame to the White House so that he can be criticized as little as possible. And the elder Bush was not ambiguous at this time, and directly sent a letter to Schwartzkov, which was translated into Chinese into four words, and acted cheaply.
The ball was kicked back at Schwarzkov's feet, and although he was sweating profusely, Schwarzkov had to give his own orders for the multinational force's air force to attack the more concentrated lair of the madmen.
Not surprisingly, the Chinese army received a new directive and began to hunt down the madmen scattered in the valley of the two rivers and deserts, and there was no more room for it, and Schwardzkov had to exterminate them all.
The U.S. military also assigned a lot of personnel to monitor the banks of the river, imitating a madman to release the virus in the river, but when Sun Jingnu came to the epidemic area, after her research, it was determined that although the madman virus was transmitted by body fluids, it did not enter the human body within 20 minutes, and it would die because of the uncomfortable living environment, so even if someone put the virus into the Euphrates River, it is unlikely to cause changes in human disease.
Dr. Klein was amazed by what she discovered on the first day of her arrival, and she admired her very much, which also changed his perception of discrimination against the Chinese scientific community to a certain extent. But when Dr. Klein felt that he had turned himself in, he hoped that Sun Jingnu would bring the epidemic prevention team from China to join the research team of the joint operations command he had formed, but Sun Jingnu was not the slightest interested in this.
"I'm sorry, but a lot of our medical devices, drugs and techniques are secrets that our government prohibits from being disseminated to the outside world, so I can't get the Chinese medical team to join the multinational medical team." Although Sun Jingnu used honorifics, her expression was arrogant to death, and it seemed that not only Klein discriminated against Chinese, but also Sun Jingnu discriminated against these foreigners.
Maybe discrimination is not an appropriate term, to be precise, it is not very affordable, because Sun Jingnu and the biomedical team of the Black Technology Research Center she brought have mastered the most cutting-edge medical techniques and concepts, and in her opinion, Klein and those people are just a bun of dirt buns who don't know anything, and they can only drag them down.
