Section 636 Disease, Market
"Personally, I am skeptical of the study report submitted by the Chinese government. Everyone knows about the territorial border dispute between us and that country. Especially on the issue of Nepal, they are too tough on India, and they don't care about the actual ownership of that land. The most outrageous thing is their refusal to recognize the "McMahon Line". It was originally the actual border between China and India, but it was forcibly occupied by the Chinese. They crossed the Himalayas and advanced towards our side, and also built a series of border posts and military fortifications...... All right! These matters are beyond my purview and should be handled by someone in the diplomatic service. But I just don't believe them. β
"I'm not a professional researcher, but I believe in modern science. This massive plague that took place in northern India was terrible, and both the scale and the death toll were staggering. If it is not effectively controlled, it may evolve into the Black Death comparable to the European Middle Ages. Of course, I understand that a clean environment and hygiene can effectively prevent the plague. However, the study from China is too childish. According to them, as long as the patient is rinsed with clean water, the infection can be controlled, or even eliminated. β
"I think it's just a joke. Water is the source of life, but ordinary water can never replace medicine. At this point, I believe in the Americans more. Last night I spoke with Mr. Gilmer, the representative of Pfizer, and showed him the study report on germs that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had obtained from China. Gilmer scoffed at the study. His view, like mine, is that germs cannot be eliminated by natural means. Because they are part of nature in their own right. Gilmer showed me on the computer Pfizer's data deduction of the large-scale plague and the aid he brought this time, that is, the experimental record of the special drug to deal with the plague. I am sure that all this is true, and without the help of Pfizer, India would not have been able to survive this time. β
"Mr. Gilmer gave me an angel potion. I've heard of this miraculous new medicine, which is said to have an effect that can make people immortal, just like the "fairy dew" that fell into the sea of milk in our mythological story and was desperately fought over by the gods and demons. Mr. Gilmer told me that this angel potion would give me twenty years more to my life. Because we are all friends, I gave this precious gift. β
"Huh! I'm not a child, so I'm just talking about it, but of course it can't be true. I know very well what Gilmer meant by thisββββ if I were not a parliamentarian from Punjab, he probably wouldn't have given me this medicine. The aid drugs sent by Pfizer are good, but the quantity cannot meet the needs of tens of millions of people in the entire epidemic area. That's how things are in the world: the first time it's a gift, and the second time you have to spend money to buy it. β
"I understand what the Americans are doing. I just hope that they can take into account the actual situation in India when pricing drugs and reduce the price a little bit. β
"July 2: There are still some people in parliament who tend to trust the Chinese. They demanded that the government adjust this year's infrastructure budget as soon as possible and build new waterways on a large scale in towns in the south that have not been affected by the plague. The debate began at 9 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. The lunch break is only 30 minutes. I'm so sick of these people who are babbling about "popular interests" and "the future of India". I think they are simply brain-broken, completely bewitched by Chinese, and believe the nonsense that "clean water flushing can destroy germs...... They should take a good look at the information on Mr. Gilmer's computer to get a clear picture of the whole thing. β
"July 3: This debate is destined to lead to nothing. The large-scale infrastructure plan proposed by the opposition party was directly rejected. In fact, if you think about it, you can see that it is impossible for the government to pass this plan. Tens of billions of dollars of money are involved, as well as conflicts of interest in all aspects. We simply don't have this money, and it's impossible to come up with it in a short time. Personally, of course, I'm still a little bit biased towards the opposition. After all, this infrastructure plan is good for the people. The slums in the towns are too dirty and too messy. Anyone who wants to live in a nice big house with clean running water from the tap at all times. The drain will never be clogged and will not emit a disgusting stench...... Unfortunately, we don't have that capability yet. β
"Senator Sunara slapped the table during this afternoon's debate. She suggested that our government should learn from the Chinese, especially in infrastructure achievements. Order quickly became chaotic, and some people openly accused Sunara of being a traitor sent by the Chinese. This accusation is, of course, unfounded, but it makes me have extremely bad associations. β
"We are already inferior to China's overall strength, and if the government does put tens of billions of dollars into this through the opposition's infrastructure package, it will mean that spending on other projects will have to be cut. Judging by my experience in politics for many years, the part that has been cut is definitely a military project. As a result, there will be a series of earthquake-like upheavalsββββ the military will certainly not want to, and the next round of government elections will have unforeseen surprises. What's more, just like Chinese famously said, one trades off the other...... Will they take this opportunity to go to war against us? Or provoke neighboring Pakistan to rush first? β
"Could this be a trap? That's it from the beginning? β
"Perhaps, the infection germ may also be deliberately released by the Chinese." They want to destroy India and win the war without an army. β
"Documenter, Indian observer for China's international affairs, Cao Guohui."
"July 6: The Indian government has been indifferent to our proposal and has rejected our goodwill to send medical personnel into the affected areas. The situation is complicated, and the Indian government is skeptical of the study of infectious bacteria that we have submitted (although they themselves have come to the same conclusions). Because of Typhoon No. 6 this year, India receives very little rainfall during the rainy season, only one-third of what it normally would. In particular, the northern states, which have been classified as epidemic areas, have been suffering from drought and even predicted that there will be no widespread precipitation in the coming months, according to the meteorological department. If this continues, the number of people dying from the disease in India's northern states is likely to exceed 100,000 next month. β
"On the international front, the World Health Organization has sent medical personnel to India to carry out a series of humanitarian assistance. The U.S. side has provided full financial assistance for this purpose. Their purpose is obvious, to open up the situation and promote new drugs for this infectious disease. The name of the drug is "TQ2". β
"July 15: The death toll from the plague in India has reached a new level and now exceeds 80,000. Infections spread faster than you think. If there had been a heavy rainfall with abundant rainfall, the people of the northern states would not have died so much. Unfortunately, many of their parliamentarians are busy with self-interest. There are signs that Pfizer is launching a gold dollar strategy among India's parliamentarians. They used angelic potions to make a lot of people change their attitudes. Just like a math problem, there are many correct ways to solve the problem, although we have told the Indian side that the simplest and most direct way is "clean water rinse", but they turn a blind eye to this and choose the most difficult, complex and at the same time the most expensive drug treatment. β
"Currently, a single box of TQ2 in the Indian market costs up to fifteen dollars. For an infected patient to be cured completely, he or she must take three boxes of the new drug on a course of treatment. β
"Pfizer is making a lot of money. This is already their forte, and the company's shareholder and chief research officer is even the current president of the United States. The biological structure of this agent is not as complex as it seems, and our own researchers have found some of the secrets and are working on replicating them. The European side is no exception. It is believed that it will not be long before Pfizer will no longer be able to maintain its R&D advantage, and angel drugs will change from the exclusive use of the rich to ordinary civilian drugs. β
"The meteorological department has arranged a number of large-scale artificial precipitation in southern China, and the imitation of TQ2 is also speeding up. Infected germs pose no threat to us, and losses are minimized. Since the Indians refuse to accept our kindness and advice, let them face this catastrophe alone! β
The documents Zheng Xiaoyue got from the safe were divided into volumes and packaged.
I have already read the previous volumes, because the content is exactly the same as the part that Liu Tianming got from Xi'an, Almaty and other places before.
Zheng Xiaoyue didn't understand why this was the case.
Liao Qiu thought for a few minutes after flipping through the documents, and said uncertainly: "I guess it's a matter of the order in which the relics are placed. When the boss got the biodetector, he told me that I had to tell him as soon as I unlocked it. At that time, the boss got documents and potions from the safe, as well as biological nutrition and a detector. The last thing is something that has never been seen in any safe before. And we've been to Chengdu before, and we've taken the relics that we've put in the city. β
Zheng Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and raised her head with a puzzled expression: "You mean, the relics left by Song Jiahao were divided into two parts?" β
"He probably had two different purposes."
Liao Qiu glanced at the huge safe embedded in the wall, and his expression was solemn: "One hundred thousand Kalel biological nutrients...... It's horrible. β
