Rise of Australia

Chapter 475
In addition to the death of people, this flu has brought various economic losses to the whole world, even immeasurable.

It has only been more than six months since the confirmed influenza outbreak in March, and at least tens of millions of people have been infected and millions of people have died, which is comparable to going through another world war.

And this flu is a fatal blow to the economy of the whole world.Because of the flu, people were afraid to go out, and a large number of factories closed down because they could not sell their goods.

The bankruptcy of small and medium-sized enterprises has led to a continuous reduction in the production of goods. Under the shortage of supply, the price of goods has risen wildly, and the people are increasingly unable to afford daily necessities.

This led to the instant collapse of the originally balanced economic system. The economies of various countries were experiencing a Great Depression that was worse than the war. Countless people jumped from buildings because of bankruptcy, and even surpassed the number of flu deaths in a short period of time.

According to a media report in the United States, the number of people who jumped from a building in a single day in the United States has exceeded 2000, surpassing the 1900 people who died of influenza on that day.

The U.S. government urgently invested a batch of supplies to save the people, but the supplies were quickly snatched by middle- and high-income earners, and low-income earners could not get much supplies at all, and they would also be infected with the flu because they went out to buy supplies.

It is not that the U.S. government has tried to use the military to distribute supplies to the people, but the problem is that no one is willing to risk their lives to transport supplies to the people.

Americans are used to talking about freedom, and most of them are thinking about themselves at this time.Among the more than 1 American troops, less than [-] are willing to undertake the transportation of materials.

Due to the lack of supplies, zero-dollar purchases are erupting in every state in the United States.The low-income class, headed by black people, went crazy in major shopping malls and department stores in the United States and stole a large number of goods.

Although the U.S. government urgently dispatched the police to drive these people away, but because the scene was too chaotic, no good progress was made.

Even more serious conflicts between whites and blacks broke out in the United States because an unnamed white policeman accidentally shot and killed a leading black man in a panic.

Although the conflict was eventually suppressed by the U.S. government, approximately thousands of black people were shot, arousing widespread anger among black Americans.

It can be expected that even if the U.S. government survives the flu, it will face more serious conflicts between white and black.

The blacks have forgotten that they were lowly manor slaves a few decades ago. There is already a huge black group, and they want to fight for more rights in the United States.

January 1918, 10, the White House of the United States.

President Wilson looked pale and was listening carefully to his subordinates' report.

So far, at least 300 million people in the United States have been infected with influenza, and more than 70 people have died, which is 10 times the number of deaths in the United States during World War I.

At present, some demonstration groups and opposition parties in the United States are already clamoring for the impeachment of President Wilson, claiming that it is because of President Wilson's carelessness that this flu has spread all over the world.

"Ronnie, is there any better solution now?" President Wilson looked at his friend and confidant with a tired face, and asked.

"It is too difficult to contain the flu at the moment, Mr. President. The only way to avoid being impeached may be to shift the responsibility for this flu to other countries." Ronnie shook his head and said regretfully .

There are at least 300 million people infected with influenza in the United States, and there is no exact list of these 300 million people.

How else can the flu be contained?It cannot be quarantined across the country in the same way as Australasia.

Not to mention whether or not this is effective, if President Wilson really orders this, the people will definitely erupt in larger demonstrations to oppose President Wilson's imprisonment of their freedom.

"Damn it!" President Wilson cursed secretly, and he no longer had the high-spirited appearance of the previous Paris Peace Conference.Rubbing his eye sockets lightly, President Wilson asked, "Who can blame us? Now that the whole world knows that the epidemic originated from the United States, I'm afraid no one will believe what we say."

"Mr. President, have you forgotten that Australasia had announced the flu to the world several months before the second round of flu came? We certainly admire how much Australasia takes the flu, but when the flu just broke out , when there is no fatality, Australasians know the real lethality of influenza, which makes people feel a little suspicious." Ronnie said with a little deep meaning.

"Huh?" President Wilson was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood Ronnie's intentions. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered: "I will leave this matter to you, Ronnie. I hope to see relevant reports as soon as possible. To ease the pressure the government is currently facing.”

Ronnie nodded without any hesitation.As President Wilson's subordinate, his relationship with President Wilson was both prosperous and bad.

If President Wilson is impeached and removed from office, his current rights will disappear in an instant.

Therefore, maintaining the position of President Wilson is the goal of all officials in President Wilson's line at present.

Ronnie acted very quickly. Starting from October 10, some media in the United States began to report news about the flu, claiming that Australasia was the culprit of the flu because they were the only country that had taken precautions against the flu. , which also means that Australasia is likely to be behind the flu.

Some newspapers also exaggeratedly stated that Australasia has secretly researched biological and chemical weapons, and influenza is one of the biological and chemical weapons in Australasia.

The reason why Australasia promised to treat the flu for free is because they have the corresponding antidote for this biochemical weapon to prevent the death of Australasians from the flu.

President Wilson spent a lot of money this time. In just two days, hundreds of American media published these reports.

The spearhead of the domestic parade in the United States has also been directly reversed, from expressing dissatisfaction with the government and President Wilson to asking the government to investigate the truth and give Australasia the punishment it deserves.

Seeing that the dumping operation was very successful, President Wilson finally breathed a sigh of relief.At least for a short period of time, his position has been stabilized. As long as the domestic supplies and medical conditions are ensured, impeachment by the opposition party is not a problem.

At this time, Europe and Australasia naturally also learned of the reports and situations from the United States.

Arthur has already dealt with this. After all, no one can bear the responsibility of letting the flu rage. This will not only make anyone lose their current status and reputation, but even directly become a sinner for all mankind, in an extremely negative way. Fame is remembered by all humans.

Arthur had reservations about the previous news reports, and now he just used it as his hole card to deal a fatal blow to the Americans and President Wilson.

On October 1918, 10, most media outlets in Australasia and Europe published a report at the same time. In the report, there was a photo that was leaked from a chemical plant in Kansas blocked by the US military.

What's worse is that the situation in the photo happened just before March.It was just over a month after the chemical plant leak that an influenza outbreak broke out in a Kansas military camp, spreading the disease around the world.

There was very little text in the report, and it only introduced the place and time of this picture, and at the same time hit back at the United States with a striking headline: "Wilson, please give an explanation!"

Good thing this time, this photo is totally real.In this era when photography technology was not developed, there was no so-called PS technology.

This also means that the photo records are 100% true, and the flu virus is most likely coming out of an American chemical plant.

All of a sudden, the European people and countries had a place to release their depression caused by the flu. A unique large-scale epidemic broke out in Europe, and the title of the parade was unified: "Sanction the United States!"

The flu broke out after the chemical plant leaked, and I can't even think about it with my toes, but this chemical plant is inseparable.

When this report was sent back to the United States, the U.S. government had no time to suppress it, because the world alliance headed by the Allied Powers was already condemning the United States.

The public condemnation of the World League undoubtedly confirmed the guilt of the Americans.News reports may be wrong, but the world alliance of dozens of countries will not target you and the United States alone, right?

It was also after the World Alliance spoke out that the European people's demonstrations demanding sanctions against the United States have turned into declaring war on the United States, and demanding compensation from the United States has turned into eliminating the scourge of the United States.

Although American scientists immediately stood up to refute the rumors, saying that what the chemical plant in Kansas was researching had nothing to do with influenza, and the United States had no responsibility in this influenza.

But the European people who have been dazzled by anger will not believe the rhetoric of these American scientists.

Influenza broke out in Kansas not long after the chemical plant was exposed. It was the soldiers who blocked the chemical plant that first showed flu symptoms. Who would believe that there is no relationship between the two?
The speeches of these scientists can't fool the European people, let alone the American people.

Only then did the American people know that the previous reports were all false, and the responsibility for the flu really lies with them.

All of a sudden, a large number of Americans took to the streets and began to condemn the government and President Wilson.

Under the alliance of Britain and France, public opinion gave the United States the final fatal blow.

The British research laboratory in charge of drug research released a set of data to the European media, indicating that the earliest influenza strains were different from all viruses found in nature, and may be a new type of artificially bred virus.

This is not over yet. The French research laboratory has also disclosed a set of data, indicating that it is impossible for virus strains in nature to change so frequently.The current influenza strain has thousands of variations, most likely the result of artificial breeding.

Although the spearhead is not directly directed at the United States, there is no doubt that the biggest suspect is the Kansas Chemical Plant in the United States.

The statements of these two research laboratories also directly confirm the suspicion that the United States uses chemical plants to research chemical weapons. The United States has become a street mouse in Europe and is cast aside by most European civilians.

You must know that the deaths from influenza in European countries are not small at present, and the economic losses can only be described as immeasurable.

According to the number of deaths reported by various countries, Russia currently has the largest number of deaths from this flu. The number of infections cannot be estimated, and the death toll is at least 80+.

This is also something that can’t be helped, after all, compared with the medical conditions of Western and Central European countries, Russia is relatively backward among European countries.

Coupled with the fact that there are a large number of low-income farmers in Russia, these people have no good way to deal with influenza, nor do they have enough funds to treat it.

After Russia, France has the second highest number of deaths, with at least 300 million infections and more than 40 deaths.

The data in the United Kingdom is almost the same as that in France. The number of people is also more than 300 million, and the death toll is also around 40 (local).

The following death tolls were 37 in Austria-Hungary, 35 in Germany, 32 in Italy, 20 in Spain, 10 in Serbia, 8 in Romania, 5 in Belgium, 5 in Portugal, and the Netherlands. 5 people
All European countries have had deaths from influenza, and neutral countries like Switzerland and the Netherlands have lost at least tens of thousands of people due to the impact of influenza.

It is no exaggeration to say that the impact of this influenza on the European population was huge.Unlike the last war, the impact of influenza is fair to all countries, and no country can escape.

This is only the number of deaths in European countries. If the deaths in colonial countries in Africa and Asia are counted, it is definitely a terrifying number.

However, countries will not pay attention to the death of the colonies, and they will never report it.After all, the deaths in the colonies start at least millions, which will not only increase the public's panic about the flu, but also increase the government's responsibility for the flu.

After all, hundreds of thousands of casualties are really different from millions of casualties, and the responsibilities are even more different.

The loss of the Americans this time is absolutely huge, and it is definitely not only European countries that hate the United States, but also the vast indigenous countries in Asia.

Although Arthur did not know the death figures in Asian countries, the situation in the Dutch East Indies was not very good.

After the flu spread to the Dutch East Indies, the Dutch East Indies became a chaotic situation.Even Arthur didn't know the specific death toll in the Dutch East Indies, but it was conservatively estimated that it would exceed at least 500 million people.

With such huge casualties in European countries and countries around the world, it is impossible not to find a person who is responsible for enough weight.

Not to mention that the United States does have a huge responsibility at present. Even if the United States does not have any responsibility, as long as the United States is splashed with dirty water, European countries will definitely push it.

Take this counterattack against the Americans as an example. Arthur just took out the photos, and the rest were the British and French who took the lead in the charge.

The result was also very smooth. This flu was officially named as the American flu, and European countries put all the responsibility on the Americans. The World Alliance is already discussing how to sanction the United States.
