Chapter 476 The Target of Public Criticism

Few countries are willing to support a country with great effort, unless there are other purposes.

But if you can devalue a country and shirk your responsibilities, I believe most countries will choose to do so.

The current situation of influenza and the current situation of the United States are just like this. It is not only Arthur and Australasia who pitted the Americans, but also the Allied Powers represented by Britain and France, the entire World Alliance and all European countries.

There is no way, everyone needs to pass the blame, after all, almost all European countries did not perform well in the influenza.

If you have to describe the current situation of Americans, if it is not because the influenza has not ended, I am afraid that the European coalition forces would have been dispatched.

Now it is not a matter of whether Americans are willing or not. The United States, which has been convicted of crimes, has only one way left, except for compensation, to resist with force.

But the question is, can Americans really withstand the coalition forces of the World Alliance? Not to mention the United States, the huge allies before couldn't bear it, but now the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth powers are united.

Of course, although it is temporarily impossible to set foot on American soil, the World Alliance also has the means to sanction Americans.

First, the member states of the World Alliance jointly proposed to freeze all American foreign assets as compensation to various countries.

You know, almost all the Allied powers owed foreign debts to the United States. If the foreign assets of Americans were really frozen, the loan would not have to be repaid.

Countries like Australasia that have signed a loan repayment agreement can also directly annul the agreement and cancel the debt with the United States.

In a word, the United States has suffered a huge loss this time. Hundreds 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 number.

What's more terrible is that the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Europeans due to influenza is the mountain weighing on the head of the US government.

If this matter is not handled well, at the least, it will be hostile to all countries, and at the worst, it will become a sinner of all mankind. A crime against humanity is enough to dissolve the US government on the spot.

If Britain and France really want to blackmail the United States, the death of tens of millions of people in the colonies alone will be enough to make the US government bankrupt.

The US government naturally dares not take on such a huge responsibility, let alone one US government, even if ten US governments join together, they dare not take on such a huge responsibility.

But no matter how much the US government denies, European countries insist that the real responsibility for the flu is the United States, and it is impossible for Americans to get out of it.

The current situation in the United States is not very good, not to mention the casualties caused by this flu. According to statistics from some US media, the average life expectancy in the United States in mid-October has decreased by 12 years compared to the beginning of the year, because the average life expectancy caused by industrial and technological progress has also instantly fallen back to its original state.

Facing the pressure from domestic and foreign media, the people and even the country, the US government can only stay in the White House like a turtle. After all, the flu is still raging, European countries dare not take the risk to come to the United States, and the opposition party is not a fool. They will not impeach Wilson at such a time and let their own people take the blame.

This also means that although President Wilson’s position is now in jeopardy, as long as the flu is not over, President Wilson’s position is relatively stable.

Everyone knows that the US president in the flu is not a good position, and it is very likely to take the blame for President Wilson.

What no one expected was that the flu, which had been killing people in August, gradually disappeared as winter approached.

Although it did not disappear completely, it was indeed not that serious. The number of infections and deaths in various countries was declining wildly.

At the end of November, the number of people infected in Europe had dropped below 3 million, and the number of infections in the old powers led by Britain and France had dropped below 500,000. The flu seemed to be over.

Although the governments of various countries did not dare to relax their vigilance, they had already contacted each other, waiting for the Americans to take the blame and ask for some compensation.

On December 17, 1918, the plenary meeting of the World League was held in Geneva. Representatives of almost all member countries attended, which also symbolized the importance of the meeting to various countries.

At the beginning of the meeting, Britain and France pointed their spearheads directly at the United States. The British representative even openly declared that the World League should sanction the culprit who caused the world to suffer, and called on all member countries to unite to deal with the evil enemy.

At the call of Britain and France, Russia and Italy also nodded and expressed their support for Britain and France.

Although Australasia is not high-profile, it also supports the actions of Britain and France, and also sets the tone for this meeting.

Under the premise that Britain, France, Russia, Australia and Italy all support sanctions against the United States, even if other countries have opposition, it is impossible to affect the decision of the World Alliance.

Moreover, almost all countries are waiting to sanction the United States and get compensation from the United States to appease the people at home, but no country will express opposition under such circumstances.

The reason for all five major powers to agree to sanction the United States is also very simple, that is, they all owe the United States a foreign debt of 2 billion US dollars.

This is a foreign debt of up to 400 million pounds, which can be abolished by sanctioning the United States. It is easy to think that they will support Britain and France.

With the support of the five major powers, this meeting has completely gone astray. Countries have already added new charges to the United States. Using chemical plants for virus research is already the smallest charge. There are also crimes of intentional release of viruses, crimes against humanity, etc. It seems that the United States must be directly eliminated and all its property must be deprived in order to compensate itself.

The British representative also openly declared that this flu is the means by which the United States attempts to eliminate all countries in the world.

As for the evidence, the best evidence is that the flu mainly targets young people aged 20 to 30.

Logically speaking, young and middle-aged people have better physical fitness, so it is impossible for them to be the most dead in the flu.

But the statistics of various countries have overturned this view. More than 70% of the deaths are young and middle-aged people aged 20 to 40, and most of them are young people aged 20 to 30.

Needless to say, what young and middle-aged people symbolize for a country is naturally needless to say. These people are not only a source of excellent soldiers, but also mainly excellent workers and labor, which is an important guarantee for the industrial and economic development of a country.

The British even prepared more physical and human evidence for this. A large number of biological experts from famous European universities took the podium with their research results and explained their research results to various countries:

A biological expert from Oxford University said that the culprit for most of the deaths among young and middle-aged people is a new strain named K1 by them.

This strain has no similarities in nature, and is even different from most of the influenza virus strains that have been prevalent before.

There is every reason to suspect that K1 is a new virus developed artificially, which specifically harms young and middle-aged people in various countries in the world.

What's more terrible is that the K1 virus did not appear at all in the influenza outbreak in the United States in March. But since the second round of influenza outbreak in Europe in August, the K1 virus has begun to appear frequently, killing millions of young and middle-aged people in Europe.

Why did the K1 virus not appear at the beginning of the influenza outbreak in the United States, while the influenza outbreak in Europe was accompanied by the appearance of a large number of K1 viruses? The biological expert also has a bold guess, that is, the K1 virus was artificially released by the Americans, but it was eventually introduced to the United States by carelessness.

Of course, there are even bolder guesses. In order to get rid of suspicion, the Americans even blamed Australasia and deliberately let the K1 virus spread back to the United States, packaging the United States as a victim.

Such research results aroused the interest of all European countries. After circulating them to each other, everyone believed what the biological experts said, that the K1 virus was most likely artificially released by the Americans.

Then, the famous French professor of biology at the University of Paris directly took out a virus sample and claimed that it was a replica of the K1 virus made by the biological laboratory of the University of Paris based on a large number of experiments. It was almost exactly the same as the K1 virus currently spreading in the world, and it also confirmed the claim that the K1 virus was artificially created and spread.

People had no doubts about the biologist's claim that the K1 virus had been imitated. After all, no one had the idea of ​​trying the power of the virus themselves.

Besides, this meeting only needed a legal excuse to sanction and declare war on the United States. As for whether what these experts said was true, the representatives of various countries were not too concerned.

But these materials and research results are forged. As long as all the representatives of all countries present believe it, then it is real information that has been authoritatively certified.

Whether it is true or not is not so important. What is important is whether anyone believes it, or whether anyone is willing to believe it.

The meeting made all countries agree that the virus was created and spread by the United States, which completely confirmed the guilt 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 the United States was the culprit of the American influenza pandemic, 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 make most Europeans and the vast majority of countries believe that the culprit of the virus is the United States.

There are even many Europeans who believe it firmly. After all, one country may deceive people, but dozens of countries cannot unite to deceive these people.

Although the World Alliance passed the decision to sanction the United States, countries are obviously not ready for a war against the United States.

After all, the United States is a powerful country, and it is separated from most members of the World Alliance by at least one ocean.

In order to sanction the United States, in addition to assembling a strong navy, at least 500,000 army troops must be prepared.

But the European war has just ended for a few months, and coupled with the troubles of this influenza, countries dare not rashly launch a war.
