-Chapter 488: Sun Miao Enters Beijing-
The two major powers have such a large-scale military expansion operation, so that the countries of the western continent are a little unable to sit still. However, due to years of war, the funds of various countries are not even enough for economic construction, and where there is money to expand the army, the only feasible way to expand the army is to unite.
Therefore, after many consultations, the Yaman Empire, the Habfsburg Kingdom and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia decided to expand the Allied bloc, and after agreeing to reduce the reparations and withdraw their troops from the occupied areas as soon as possible, the Saar and Nantes empires also surprisingly joined the Allied bloc, and later even the Viking kingdoms, feeling the great pressure, gave up their neutrality and joined the Allied bloc.
In the entire Western Continent, except for the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg, which still expressed strict neutrality, only the Kingdom of Sero and the Grand Duchy of Rees refused to join because they had received a lot of benefits from the Chinese Empire, and instead sought the possibility of joining NATO from the Chinese Empire, but Fang Xiaoyu was afraid of overstimulating the Allied bloc and letting them unite with the Boston Empire and did not agree.
The Boston Imperial Government itself did not expect that its military expansion in order to stimulate the economy would make such a big change in the world pattern. Before they could react, almost all countries in the world had joined the alliance, and when the Boston Empire wanted to form a national alliance, it suddenly found that there were no more countries to join, and the only thing that could be fought for by the Boston Empire was the Moss Kingdom, which had been under its control.
But even if this was the only kingdom of Moss that could be won, he couldn't get it as he wished, because Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to make the surroundings of the Boston Empire too peaceful.
In March 910, a newspaper of the Chinese Empire suddenly published a news that a civilian scientific expedition of the Chinese Empire had discovered a large-scale oil field in the territory of the Moss Kingdom, and after careful testing by experts, it was found that the reserves of this oil field were almost ten times more than ten times that of the Baku oil field in Russia, and it was easier to exploit.
The reserves are equivalent to ten times that of the Baku oil fields, what a concept. At present, the world has only discovered some small oil fields, only Baku is relatively large, and it accounts for ninety percent of the world's oil production today. (The oil produced by the Chinese consortium is all for its own use or supplied to the army, and is not sold to the outside world, and the oil used by the private sector is also purchased from outside, so no one knows how much oil the Chinese consortium produces, and they are not counted.) )
Now the discovery of a large oil field almost all over the entire Moss Kingdom, which can make the known world's oil reserves almost tenfold, what kind of concept is this, it can almost be said that whichever country controls this oil field will master the future industrial lifeline of the world, how can this not make countries crazy.
After this news was released, the world was in a sensation, and the eyes of all governments were focused on the weak country of the Kingdom of Moss. With the advent of the second industrial revolution and more and more mechanized equipment in the military, even warships have changed from coal tigers to oil tigers, and the demand for oil in various countries has risen sharply, and due to the rapid growth of oil demand, the exploration of oil minerals is a little backward.
At present, almost all the world's oil is imported from the Baku region of Russia and a few small oil fields in the north of the Central Continent, which is of course nothing in peacetime, at most it is to earn the difference, but once it comes to wartime, it is possible to cut off the oil route, then all the advanced weapons will become waste, so all countries are increasing the intensity of oil exploration, and this news has undoubtedly poked the world's hornet's nest.
After this news was sent, the countries of the Western Continent sent prospecting teams to the Moss Kingdom to verify the situation. The Boston Empire immediately panicked, originally he was trying his best to win over the Moss Kingdom, and there had been a lot of progress, but this news pushed the Moss Kingdom to the forefront.
The current Boston Empire does not dare to release the news that the Moss Kingdom has become its ally, which is equivalent to the fact that after the-for-tat confrontation with NATO led by the Chinese Empire, they will not dare to do such a thing that offends the world.
Just when the world was focused on the Moss Kingdom and all countries were gearing up to get a piece of the pie here, the third flu outbreak that Xiaofeng said came as scheduled. The transmissibility and mortality rate of this flu were much lower than the second time, but doctors around the world suddenly found that sulfonamides and penicillin had much less inhibitory effect on it. Coupled with the fact that there has been no trace of the virus for more than a year, governments have let their guard down, so there are once again large-scale outbreaks in various countries, and a large number of people are infected, and even Her Majesty the Queen is sick in bed.
Fang Xiaoyu had already been warned by Xiaofeng, so the Chinese Empire and the entire NATO did not relax the prevention of the epidemic and the disinfection of external products during customs clearance and inspection, so when the epidemic began to appear in the world, only the Latin Kingdom had a small-scale epidemic within NATO, and the people who fell ill were also quickly isolated and monitored, and did not cause too much infection.
Although the mortality rate this time should be lower than that of the second wave, the current death toll has increased due to the lack of drug suppression.
In addition to continuing to let Xiaofeng and the medical school study special drugs, Fang Xiaoyu began to actively start from the existing drugs, after Fang Xiaoyu's notice of collecting medicinal materials from the people at a high price was issued, Sun Miao, an old man who has been cultivating Chinese herbal medicine in the Batan area, took a train to Beijing to see Fang Xiaoyu.
Hearing that it was Lang Zhong, who was cultivating Chinese herbs in the Batan region, who asked to see him, Fang Xiaoyu had a plan in his heart, so he quickly met Sun Miao. Sun Miao saw Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people are really guilty of rushing to death. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I don't have so many rules, you don't have to pay too much attention to the rules, just say it, did you say that there is a medicine to treat this infectious disease." ”
Sun Miao said: "I did come to donate medicine this time, but my medicine is not a medicine for infectious diseases. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "It's not a medicine for infectious diseases, what's the use of you giving me now." ”
Sun Miao said: "The antibiotic drugs that Your Majesty has been concerned about can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the germs can evolve, and when they are killed a few times, they can quickly evolve varieties that are not afraid of this medicine." Chinese herbal medicine is different from the concept, Chinese herbal medicine focuses on curing the root cause, it is to enhance the body's resistance, so that the body's resistance can destroy the germs by itself, so that the body can be strengthened and the germs will not evolve. ”
