Chapter 2690 International Students
After a short while, Joan received replies one after another. Based on the analysis made by Conti, Slude and old man Franklin from different perspectives, he gained a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this matter.
Things have to start two years ago.
In the spring of 1625, Joan returned to his hometown of Alfheim from the polar regions to work as a visiting scholar at Leiden College. At that time, smallpox was prevalent in the west of Midgard, and the local Asa aborigines were severely affected.
The source of this epidemic is not a natural disaster, but a well-planned conspiracy.
The Midgard military first hired a number of virus experts, including Joan's mentor, Professor Moriarty, to create a modified smallpox virus that would not cause serious harm to the colonists from the Old World, but would be harmful to the colonists. The aborigines of the New World who lacked antibodies caused fatal injuries, and then instructed merchants to sell blankets contaminated with the new virus to the Asa people, resulting in a large outbreak of smallpox in the west of the Vimur Valley. Tens of thousands of people were infected, and the fatality rate was as high as 30. %!
The inside story of this conspiracy was first exposed on the cloud network, and was quickly reprinted by newspapers from various countries. It caused a great shock in the international community and attracted countless criticisms for the Midgard colonial authorities.
It is against this background that more than a dozen well-known experts and scholars in the field of public health from countries such as Canaan, Hailan, and Feizhen have received funding from a charitable organization to jointly form an international public health investigation team. Travel across the ocean and come to the western region of Midgard to investigate the smallpox epidemic that is breaking out in the local indigenous tribes.
The delegation arrived in the Vymur Valley in early March and visited more than 40 local villages. In mid-April, they were invited to visit Shizhu Town and learned about the relevant epidemic prevention measures for vaccination against "human pox" from the Volsunger family.
Joan had read the reports about the public health inspection team in the newspapers, but she didn't know at the time that the anonymous charity that provided funds for the inspection team was actually the "Korras Family Foundation" funded by the Far Eastern royal family. The leader of this delegation also came from the Far East, and she was the founder of the "Ring of Harvest"—the legendary druid, Ms. Valentina Chenxi.
Ms. Valentina stayed in Shizhu Town for more than a month. In addition to public health inspections and epidemic prevention and control activities, she also shouldered a diplomatic mission to represent the Far Eastern royal family, the Volsung family and the "Liberator Alliance". "Secret high-level talks.
According to the information that old man Franklin inquired from Mrs. Josephine, this legendary archdruid also met privately with Orphen, Anahita, Humbaba and other primitive religious leaders to represent the Far Eastern government and the New World. The Asa aborigines reached a secret agreement.
The specific content of the secret agreement, the old man Franklin is still unknown, but the old man dared to bet his beard that the reason why Collasberg University opened the door to the aboriginal students from the New World must be the cooperation listed in the secret agreement matter!
In the reply to Joan, Slude listed some of the terms of the secret contract, which is enough to prove the old man Franklin's guess is true.
After finishing her investigation in Stone Pillar Town, Ms. Valentina turned to Alfheim in the south and visited Powhatan Village, which is the sub-helm of "Ring of Harvest" in the New World.
It was also unfortunate that Joan had already left Powhatan Village at that time, accompanied the Vassars and Rebecca back to Midgard, visited Ser Custis who was seriously ill, and missed the chance to meet Ms. Valentina.
At that time, if Conti did not add too much exaggeration in her reply, it would be like "Her Majesty the Queen came to the overseas provinces under her rule"!
Man, the Algonquin Valley has never been so lively!
In the entire Yalfheim, almost all the druids and rangers from the "Ring of Harvest" went to Powhatan Village to meet their ancestor grandma, and the scene was as lively as a "pilgrimage".
Conti also said in the letter that he made a stupid and naive mistake. At first, she thought that her father's mentor was a kind and kind old lady with white hair, but after seeing Ms. Valentina, she was surprised to find that she was so young and beautiful, and her elegant temperament could not be described in words !
She really couldn't say the word "grandmother", so she replaced it with "sister" on her own initiative.
This seniority is so wrong! Nima is outrageous!
At that time, her parents were so frightened that their faces turned green, and they quickly apologized to the teacher for their daughter's rudeness.
Ms. Valentina seemed very magnanimous. Instead of blaming the little girl for talking nonsense, she even joked that she was most afraid of being regarded as an elder, making herself look like an old woman.
Conti also realized that she almost got into a catastrophe, so she swore to Joan regretfully in the letter that she must keep her mouth shut in the future and dare not speak nonsense.
Ms. Valentina stayed in Powhatan Village for two weeks, applauding Kandy's parents for actively spreading the concept of "Ring of Harvest" in the New World, and introducing the experience of rural construction and community governance in the Far East to her students and Disciples and grandchildren, encourage them to learn from and promote in the aboriginal community.
Taking the opportunity of this visit, Ms. Valentina also signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of the Far East government with the major indigenous tribes in the south of the New World headed by the Algonquin tribe. According to Conti, the content is similar to that of Ms. Valentina. The one signed in Shizhu Town is similar.
In the following two years, the cooperation between the Far East government and the aboriginal tribes in the north and south of the New World continued to deepen.
In the eyes of the colonists of Midgard and Layton, the aborigines are just a group of barbarians. They are only interested in the land of the aborigines, and are not interested in how they survive and develop. Therefore, the cooperation between the Asa tribes and the Far East has never been seen. According to various reports, the vast majority of colonists were unaware of this.
At the turn of spring and summer in 1626, marked by the Declaration of Independence issued by the Second Continental Congress, the colonies started an "Independence War" against the Fijan Kingdom.
At the tribal meeting held in Shizhu Town, the Asa people in Yalfheim, represented by the Algonquin tribe, joined the camp of the Continental Army, and the Asa people in Jotunheim, led by the Wali tribe, joined the army. On Feizhen's side, only the Volsong tribe in Shizhu Town insisted on neutrality and would not help each other.
Few people know that the standpoints chosen by the two aboriginal tribes, Volsong and Algonquin, were actually influenced by the Kolas government in the Far East.
