"Confidentiality, the formula must be kept strictly confidential!"

"Strengthen the monitoring of telegraph stations in various localities, and all telegrams involving the words 'medicine' and diseases must be examined."

When a soldier left the transport ship that had been trapped in the Taiwan Strait for 25 days, and the ship was cleaned and disinfected and re-engaged in the retreat mission, a series of orders and official letters on strengthening the secrecy of medicines were also sent to all parts of the country.

In the eyes of others, this kind of secrecy seems unnecessary, because no country can snatch medicine from China now, but for high-level decision-makers, this pandemic is another major international reshuffle opportunity after the end of the war!

In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Office, facing everyone in the audience, the Secretary of State pointed to the numbers on the blackboard and said: "This is the statistics of the countries after the war that we have learned so far, in the total of more than four years of war, the Allied countries have lost a total of 832 people, and our alliance has lost a total of 4.11 million casualties.

The top five in the Entente were Russia (2.3 million), France (including colonies) 1.8 million, Britain (including India, Australia, Canada, and Zeeland colonies) 1.5 million, the United States (1.5 million), and Serbia (560,000).

The top five in the league were Germany 1.8 million, Austria-Hungary 1.2 million, Italy 600,000, and Ottoman 36

10,000, 310,000 in China.

This is only the number of casualties, according to the death and wounded less than one to one, the total casualties have actually exceeded 20 million, reaching about 25 million, as for the civilian population has not yet reached an exact number, but from the experience of our army, the civilian casualties of the participating countries may be much higher than expected, if both soldiers and civilians are counted, our forecast number is likely to reach between 30 million and 40 million!

Economic losses are not available at present, China's total military expenditure so far is about 45 billion blue coins (about 32 billion US dollars before the war), from the proportion is not high, most of them are used for ammunition, equipment and supplies and other daily consumption, but the national economy has still been greatly damaged, because commercial activities have been curbed, all major resources are concentrated in military agriculture, because a large number of young and middle-aged people have been siphoned off, there is a shortage, it is expected that this year's economic growth rate is likely to be about negative 7%, As for the material consumption is also very large, many of which cannot be counted, according to our estimates, the total indirect and material losses in our country may be about 100 billion.

In addition, we predict that the direct military and economic losses of all participating countries may be as high as 700 billion blue coins, and the total indirect and material losses may exceed 5 trillion yuan.

China's numbers are not very serious among the participating countries, after the war industrial capacity is more intact is China, Germany and Britain, the United States and France are the two countries that are most damaged, because the German army began to learn from China before the destruction of the United States economy and transportation facilities and other infrastructure, these two countries can not recover to the pre-war level at least 5-8 years, the entire European and American economy, industry and the pre-war ratio has regressed by about 40%.

The fruits of the European industrial boom that began in the Victorian era have been completely annihilated by war! ”

"In addition to the significant destruction of the economy and industry, there is another point that is worth noting!" The Secretary of State grabbed a document and continued: "That is, with the increasing number of deaths caused by the flu plague, human resources have become the focus of the next step in the competition of countries! ”

Li Mo also nodded when he heard this analysis, although he was the only one here who knew that the flu would completely disappear in a year, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket, because the world had been changed too much by him, and the trauma caused by the expansion war alone was higher than that caused by the First World War in history, especially the four countries of the United States, France, Spain, and Russia, which were the hardest-hit areas, not only was the industry basically paralyzed, but the population was also greatly reduced, not to mention the unpredictable disease.

So far, the number of people who are known to have died from the flu has reached 10 million! The United States, France and Spain account for one-seventh of them! This is still not a complete statistical figure, plus the worst-hit area of India in later generations also began to break out, the number of deaths is about 1 million, if it is really according to the 15 million recorded in later generations, then plus the number of people who died in the war, that is to say, the world's population is likely to be directly cut by 100 million!

At present, there are only three countries in the world whose industrial systems have not been damaged, among which Britain has not been able to recover in a short period of time like the United States and France because of reparations and other problems.

Before the war, Germany had the world's best skilled workers, coupled with a rigorous style, and if it were not for the problems of geographical environment, resources, and the narrow colonial market, Germany might have already won the throne of the world's first industrial country. ----I'm going to -----. 51 ---- a great start---

After the war, Germany definitely has a chance to become the world's largest industrial power, the huge African colonies, the vast market and the post-war demand for goods in Europe and the United States, so that Germany, which also belongs to the Western countries, has a great competitive advantage, but Germany is now facing a huge problem, that is, about 3.1 million young adults who have died in the face of war and disease, and about the same number of civilians, which makes the German population drop by nearly 5 million.

Of course, because Germany has obtained land cession from Russia and France, and the number of people in Germany who have ceded land is actually higher than before the war, but it will take a long time for these people to integrate.

The United States and France have lost a lot of people, and there are no statistics in the United States, but according to the data of the Ministry of Intelligence, the population of the United States has dropped from 95 million before the war to less than 85 million at present, which means that 10 million people died in the war and disease, or have long been far away from the country, and most of them are young and middle-class.

"That's it." Zhang Zuoshuang's voice interrupted Li Mo's thoughts, and said heavily: "Europe and the United States are likely to have a shortage of human resources in the next few years, before the war they had Chinese workers, Japanese and Indian workers, and now the only thing that can save them is Africa, but after Germany controls Africa, it will no longer allow Britain and France to be supplemented, so the competition for human resources will become one of the key points in the future."

In addition, we have also noted that a large number of technicians have been forced to leave and be displaced due to war and disease, among which Austria-Hungary, Russia, and the United States are particularly serious. So our suggestion is that while the current flu outbreak is taking advantage of the current outbreak, we have a good opportunity to have a special drug, especially in Europe, especially in Russia,

Austria and other countries have made use of the "medicine" products they have mastered, coupled with abundant conditions, to carry out a large-scale introduction of technical personnel, in order to strive for more outstanding people. ”

In addition to bringing in Europeans, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has begun to negotiate with the US government on "repaying debts through trade", and from the current point of view, the US government is still relatively willing, because their industrial capacity is basically paralyzed and cannot produce enough goods to supply the post-war market, so they are also in urgent need of external blood transfusion. Feng Qi pinched the cup and smiled: "Gu Weijun has arrived in the United States,

If there are no accidents, it is estimated that there will be news in a few days. ”

"Trade for debts? Long Guozhang, who didn't know why, took a cigar in his mouth, scratched his head after looking around, and asked, "Lord Feng, just say it directly, I don't understand it." ”

"Haha." Long Guozhang's words caused everyone to laugh, and several members of the military were eager to dig a pit and bury the commander-in-chief of the navy, and pull it out to be embarrassed. Feng Qi smiled slightly and explained: "It is the emperor's suggestion to use trade to offset debts, to the effect that the United States must purchase a certain amount of goods from China every year in the form of a state contract, so as to stabilize the dilemma and price of domestic commodity scarcity, and we guarantee a lower price, and the profits generated can be deducted from the indemnity owed by the United States to China, and in fact, it is our government that pays the profits." ”

"Low price? And pay from the indemnity, then make a dime?! As soon as Commander Long heard that it would be sold at a low price and deducted from the indemnity, he jumped up directly when he was waiting to raise the fork and divide the money to expand the navy, and according to his idea, the current dollar of things should be sold to the United States for three yuan, and if he didn't buy it, he would directly take the ship's gun and shoot it on the head.

Li Mo glanced at this "in-law" and scratched his head with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "The low price is to occupy the market with speed, this is a trade and national strategy, and it has nothing to do with your navy!" ”

"Oh, it's okay. By the way, Lord Feng, if you encounter an uneven situation, tell me that I still have 2 task forces on the east coast that have not returned. ”

Seeing Commander Long pat his ass and sit down, Tang Shaoyi explained to him with a smile: "Although trade is a commercial matter in Nepal, the country also needs to guide low-price dumping, although the profit of a single piece seems to be very small, but the United States still has a population of 85 million, the market is very large, and the profit can still be guaranteed."

What's more, the emperor's real intention is not to make money, but to further suppress the post-war recovery speed of the United States. If you think about it, if the United States orders less than 100 million yuan of goods from us, it means that they themselves need to make 100 million worth of supplements, and 100 million orders can feed at least a few tens of thousands of families, and can also promote the recovery of American manufacturing! Therefore, we must dump as much as possible before the recovery of American industry, so that the market for things made by the manufacturing industry in the United States will become smaller, and it will take at least a few years for the recovery to recover. ”

Seeing that Long Guozhang and everyone understood, Feng Qi continued: "Having said that, this time we really need the cooperation of the military to put a little pressure on the United States, and at the same time, I hope that the emperor and the prime minister can allow us to use the Yinqiao Jie Feng Pill as a means of reinforcement when necessary to strengthen the bargaining chips." ”

"Take the medicine in exchange? That's not right. Rong Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "As long as we don't provide medicine, it won't be a problem for the current flu to kill eight million. ”

"You can't hide it, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world." Feng Qi said, "If Europe and the United States know that we have medicine but deliberately don't buy it, and watch them die, what do you think the European and American people will think of us?" In this way, the hatred will only increase, not decrease, and it will not help us strengthen our relations with Britain and the United States. ”

, "I see it's okay, whoever wants the real money of the medicine to buy it will leave, I'll count him cheaper for 200 a bottle." Prime Minister Tang didn't feel at all how appalling it was to hang up the price of a bottle of Yinqiao Jiefeng Pill that cost 3 yuan a bottle to 200 yuan a bottle, and continued: "But if you can take the support of 'medicine' products as an opportunity to win the contract of repaying debts with trade, it will still be worth it." ”

"200 a bottle! Boy. Chen Ping laughed out loud next to him, and everyone noticed Tang Shaoyi's offer and gave a thumbs up to the black-hearted prime minister.

After laughing, Liang Dunyan also agreed: "We have roughly calculated that if the US government must purchase 3 billion worth of goods from China every year, it can add 3 million jobs to our country and bring about 200 million profits at the same time.

If dumping at a low price, 3 billion yuan can probably generate about 200 million profits per year, and it will only be 2 billion profits in ten years, and this profit will be directly subtracted from the reparations, although it will make us 2 billion less, but it is very small compared with the total amount of reparations that the United States needs to pay, and it is not distressing to avoid it, but this kind of large trade contract can drive at least 1 billion other industries in China every year, and with the current large-scale foreign post-war aid plan, the speed of China's economic recovery can be increased by at least 2 to 3 years.

The important thing is that as long as domestic companies actively participate, we can take this opportunity to completely open up the market in the whole of the Americas and even Europe, promote productivity improvement, cultivate a large middle class, and accelerate the upgrading of our own industrial capacity and accelerate technological progress. ”

"There are so many good things, then I'll see it."

"Medicine is also a commodity, and selling it can save people and make money, so why not do it, 20

One bottle. In fact, it's not expensive, if we really treasure the medicine, I'm afraid we will be hated by the whole world, so it's better to take the medicine to do some trading. ”

In your words, in my words, about the use of medicine and the plague crisis under the condition of ensuring domestic supply, the big business that Long Guozhang jokingly called the exchange of medicine for people and money quietly opened" This also made the Prime Minister's Office, who has been worried about continuing to weaken Europe and the United States, not agree to open the sale of Yinqiao Relief Pills, which will cause Hua to be unable to resolve hatred after the war, but will continue to deepen the hatred of various countries, Feng Qi completely let go of his heart.

The day before the lunar year of 1919, when the whole world was again ravaged by the flu,

Gu Weijun sent back good news from the United States, after promising to provide 5 million blue coins worth of "medicine" aid, the US government finally had to agree to purchase trillions of blue coins worth of grain and industrial commodities from China every year to supplement domestic needs, and at the same time opened up the domestic mineral and other resource exploitation industries to foreign countries for the first time.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in just one month, major Chinese companies and businessmen obtained 170 mineral exploration and mining licenses from the US and Canadian governments.

Hua has developed a special medicine to deal with the flu!

The news from the United States swept through the world like a whirlwind, and every person who was suffering from the disease was eagerly hoping that their government would be able to provide this kind of medicine to the market, but except for a few countries that had received Chinese aid, the rest of the countries could only get a small amount of poor goods from the hands of black-hearted businessmen.

Subsequently, Gu Weijun visited the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and other countries, and negotiated "trade for debts", although the effect was not as great as that of the United States, but it also obtained a purchase agreement of about 800 million yuan per year.

Later, in front of several well-known French newspapers, he deliberately presented 1 million blue coins worth of silver Qiao antidote pills to Foch, the former commander-in-chief of the French army living in Corsica and the current leader of the opposition opposition party in France, to help the French people alleviate the increasingly serious influenza epidemic in their territory.

As soon as this news came out, the first thing was that the Sneijder government could not sit still, but the French puppet government, which had completely turned to Germany, could not come up with the slightest way to confront it, so it had to turn to Germany for help.

Germany is also trapped by the increasingly serious flu at home, and China uses Yinqiao Jiefeng Pill to attract senior technical personnel in Europe, only within half a month of the lunar year, about 6,000 European, especially Eastern European technicians, signed contracts, accepted "medicine" and preferential treatment and began to pack their bags and go to the East, and reached a contract with the United States and Britain and other countries beyond Germany's imagination, "trade for debt", knowing that it was lagging behind again, Germany first hurriedly signed the same, "trade for debt" agreement. Then they had to contact the Chinese government to negotiate the purchase of "medicine".

The price of 200 blue coins for a bottle directly frightened the German negotiators, and if it weren't for good cultivation, it was estimated that they would have scolded directly, but no one expected that on April 6, 1919, a shocking figure that everyone shuddered came from the Indian peninsula, where the medical environment was poor.

11 million!

This is the number of people who have died from the Indian flu according to the Provisional Self-Government of the Indian Congress Party and the Viceroy of China, and since there are still many places in this highly populated peninsula that are semi-closed, many people think that the actual number is at least twice as high!

Such huge casualties really frightened everyone, Germany and Britain and other countries didn't even dare to think about it and agreed to Hua's price, and took out tons of real money to buy Yinqiao Jie Feng Pill, it is said that after the Ministry of Commerce submitted the list of agreements and the amount of Cheng Lou to the Prime Minister's Office, the Prime Minister took the initiative to go to the Ministry of Commerce for the first time to distribute New Year's red envelopes to everyone.

While rejoicing and worrying, when China used Yinqiao Jiefeng Pill to make a lot of profits and harvest countless experts and technicians, the Indian Autonomous Provisional Government was numbed by the large number of deaths every day, and Gandhi's Congress Party also had to ask for help from China, and distributed 300 resource exploitation agreement contracts to Chinese businessmen, plus a full 100 million blue coins to buy a large number of Yinqiao Jiefeng Pill to supply the market.

The Congress's actions laid the foundation for the civil war that began in India soon after, and opponents saw the Congress as a cheap sale of the country's wealth.

However, perhaps India's health and medical facilities are so poor, or perhaps India has suffered a catastrophe from the flu, which has not been curbed even with the "medicine", and the death toll has soared to 15 million again by May!

After paying hundreds of exploration and mining licences and spending about 100 tonnes worth of gold to buy medicines, the opposition in India suddenly found an opportunity.

On June 15, armed conflict broke out in India, where the flu was slightly under control due to warmer weather, and the extremist faction of the Congress party, led by Tirak, seized the opportunity to attack Gandhi's moderate, and the Congress party declared a split.

On 10 August, Jinnah's Muslim League also announced its withdrawal from the chaotic Congress coalition government, while announcing that it had begun to pursue a path of Muslim self-government.

No one expected that when the civil war between Russia and Spain was in full swing, a civil war broke out in India, which is located in Asia.

On August 15, the newly married Emperor Hua and the Indian High Commander of the Imperial Royal Navy Li Zhen returned to Mumbai, and on the same day, the navy that had temporarily retreated to Ceylon and Gapo to avoid the flu returned to Mumbai, so as to be ready to deal with the possible harm to the Chinese and the interests of the empire in the Indian civil war.
