Chapter 475: The Targeted
Almost no country is willing to go to great lengths to prop up a country for other purposes than to do so.
But if you belittle a country and shirk your responsibility, I believe that the vast majority of countries will choose to do so.
The current situation of the flu and the current situation of the United States are exactly like this, and it is not only Arthur and Australasia who are cheating the Americans, but also the Entente represented by Britain and France, as well as the entire world alliance and all European countries.
There is no way, everyone needs to shake the blame, after all, almost all European countries do not do well with the flu.
If I had to describe the current situation of the Americans, if it were not for the fact that the flu had not yet ended, I am afraid that the European coalition would have been dispatched.
Now it is no longer whether the Americans are willing or not, and the United States, which has already been convicted of the crime, has only one way to resist by force except for reparations.
But the question is, can the Americans really withstand the coalition forces of the world alliance? Not to mention the United States, the previous huge allies could not bear it, but the current union of the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth powers.
Of course, although it is not possible to set foot on American soil for the time being, the World League also has the means to sanction Americans.
First, the members of the World League jointly proposed a freeze on all foreign assets of the United States to be used as compensation to the nations.
You know, almost all the Entente powers owe the United States a foreign debt. If Americans' foreign assets are frozen, the loan will not have to be repaid.
Countries such as Australasia, which have signed reparations and loan repayment agreements, can also simply void the agreement and cancel their debt to the United States.
In one sentence, the United States has lost money to its grandmother's family this time, tens of billions of dollars of foreign debts have been written off, and there are still a large number of American assets abroad, which is not a small amount.
What's worse is that the responsibility for the death of millions of Europeans caused by the flu is the mountain that weighs on the head of the US government.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be hostile to all countries at best, and at worst it will become a sinner for all mankind, and a crime against humanity will be enough to dissolve the US government on the spot.
If Britain and France really wanted to blackmail the United States, the death of tens of millions of people in the colonies alone would be enough to bankrupt the US government.
Naturally, the U.S. government does not dare to assume such a huge responsibility, let alone one U.S. government, and even ten U.S. governments together do not dare to bear such a great responsibility.
However, no matter how much the US government denies it, European countries insist that the real responsibility for the flu lies with the United States, and it is impossible for Americans to get out of it.
The current situation in the United States is not good, not to mention the casualties caused by the flu. According to the statistics of some media in the United States, the average life expectancy in the United States in mid-October has decreased by 12 years compared with the beginning of the year, because the average life increase caused by industrial and technological progress has also fallen back to the original state in an instant.
In the face of pressure from the domestic and foreign media, the public and even the state, the US government can only stay in the White House like a turtle with a shrunken head, after all, the flu is still raging, European countries do not dare to take risks to come to the United States, and the opposition party is not stupid, and will not impeach Wilson at such a moment and let others take the blame.
This also means that although President Wilson's position is now very scarce, as long as the flu is not over, President Wilson's position is relatively stable.
Everyone knows that the president of the United States in the flu is not a good position, and it is very likely that President Wilson will take the blame.
What everyone didn't expect was that the flu, which began to kill in August, gradually disappeared as winter approached.
Although it will not disappear completely, it is true that it is not that serious, and the number of infections and deaths in various countries is falling wildly.
By the end of November, the number of existing infections in Europe had fallen below 3 million, and the number of infections in the old powers, led by Britain and France, had all dropped to less than 500,000, and the flu seemed to be over.
Although the governments of the world have not yet dared to let their guard down, they have already linked themselves together, waiting for the Americans to take the blame and ask for a little compensation by the way.
On December 17, 1918, the plenary session of the World League was held in Geneva, attended by representatives of almost all member states, which also symbolized the importance that all countries attached to this conference.
As soon as the meeting began, Britain and France pointed the finger at the United States. The representative of Britain even openly declared that the World Alliance should sanction the culprits who had caused the world to suffer and called on all Member States to unite against the evil enemy.
At the call of Britain and France, Russia and Italy also nodded their heads to express their support for Britain and France.
Australasia, although not high-profile, supported the actions of Britain and France, which also set the tone for the meeting.
Under the premise that Britain, France, Russia, Australia, and Italy all support sanctions against the United States, even if other countries have opposing voices, it is impossible to affect the decision of the world alliance.
What's more, almost all countries are waiting to sanction the United States and get compensation from the United States to comfort their people, but no country will oppose it in such a situation.
The reason for getting all the five major powers to agree to sanctions against the United States is simple: they all owe the United States $2 billion in foreign debt.
This is a foreign debt of up to 400 million pounds, which can be abolished only by sanctioning the United States, and it will support Britain and France with your toes.
With the support of the five major powers, the conference was also completely offended. Countries are already adding new crimes to the United States, the use of chemical plants to conduct virus research is already the smallest crime, as well as the crime of deliberately releasing viruses, crimes against humanity, etc., it seems that the United States must be eliminated directly, and the United States can only be compensated by depriving it of all its property.
The representative of Britain also openly declared that the flu was a means by which the United States was trying to exterminate all the countries of the world.
As for the evidence, the flu mainly targets young people between the ages of 20 and 30 is the best evidence.
It stands to reason that young adults have better physical fitness, and it is unlikely that they will be the group that has the most deaths from the flu.
However, statistics from various countries disprove this view, and more than 70% of the deaths are among young adults between the ages of 20 and 40, with the majority of them between the ages of 20 and 30.
Needless to say, these people are not only a source of excellent soldiers, but also excellent workers and laborers, and an important guarantee for a country's industrial and economic development.
The British have even prepared more physical and human evidence for this purpose, and a large number of biological experts from famous European universities have brought their research results to the podium to explain their research results to other countries:
A biology expert at the University of Oxford said that the culprit for most of the deaths was young adults, a new strain they named K1.
This strain bears no resemblance in nature, not even most of the previously circulating strains of influenza viruses.
There is every reason to suspect that K1 is a new artificially developed virus that specifically harms young adults in countries around the world.
What's worse is that the K1 virus did not appear at all in the flu that broke out in the United States in March. But since the second flu outbreak in Europe in August, the K1 virus has begun to emerge frequently, killing millions of young adults in Europe.
Why did the U.S. flu outbreak not appear K1 virus at the beginning, while the European flu outbreak was accompanied by a large number of K1 viruses, the biological expert also has a bold guess, that is, the K1 virus was artificially dropped by the Americans, but it was eventually introduced to the United States.
Of course, there are bolder speculations. In order to get rid of suspicion, the Americans even dumped the blame on Australasia, deliberately allowing the K1 virus to spread back to the United States, packaging the United States as a victim.
The results of such research aroused the interest of all European countries, and after circulating them to each other, everyone believed the theory of biological experts that the K1 virus was most likely artificially dropped by the Americans.
Immediately afterwards, the famous professor of biology at the University of Paris in France directly took out a virus sample, claiming that this was an imitation of the K1 virus made by the biology laboratory of the University of Paris based on a large number of experiments, which was almost exactly the same as the K1 virus currently circulating in the world, and also confirmed the statement that the K1 virus was artificially created and transmitted.
There is no doubt about the biologist's claim that the K1 virus has been mimicked, after all, there is no idea of trying the power of the virus for themselves.
Besides, this meeting only needs a legitimate excuse to sanction and declare war on the United States, and as for whether what these experts say is true, the representatives of various countries are not too concerned.
However, the results of this information and research are falsified, and as long as all the representatives of the countries present here believe it, then it is an authoritative and authentic source.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, what matters is whether anyone believes it, or whether anyone wants to believe it.
The meeting allowed all countries to agree that the virus was created and spread by the United States, which also completely confirmed the accusation of the US government.
In the end, the four permanent members of the World Alliance and the five representatives of the elected members jointly announced that they believed that the United States was the culprit of the American flu and announced that they would combine the strength of all countries in the World Alliance to jointly sanction the United States.
The biggest effect of this meeting is to convince most Europeans and the vast majority of countries that the United States is the culprit of the virus.
There are even quite a few Europeans who are convinced of this, after all, one country may deceive people, and dozens of countries cannot unite to deceive these people.
Although the world coalition adopted a decision on sanctions against the United States, the countries are clearly not ready for a war against the United States either.
After all, the United States is a great power country, separated by at least one ocean from most of the members of the World Alliance.
If you want to sanction the United States, in addition to building a strong navy, you must also prepare at least 500,000 or more army troops.
But just a few months after the war in Europe, coupled with the plague of this flu, countries did not dare to start a big war rashly.
