the world is at stake

"The whole world will face a huge crisis, but there are also huge benefits hidden in the crisis." Zhou Qingfeng displayed the "epidemic" data he had collected.

After a few glances, Robert was not surprised. He just said 'Oh' and said, "I've heard about this. It's really serious."

"You already know?"

"Please, I'm the assistant director of the Defense Logistics Agency. I can't hide the biological and chemical weapons that the Army is behind. Recently, the US military's own medical institutions have issued an early warning, indicating that an unknown virus is spreading.

But no officials at that level would come forward and admit to the matter before the matter became serious.Because whoever admits it may be responsible?Everyone is waiting for the situation to explode when it can't be suppressed. "

Robert was very calm.

"Harden, do you have any ideas?"

"The FBI also has its own medical monitoring system. Although it is not as powerful as the Ministry of Health, I have received many early warnings. In my opinion, the global economy will enter a downward channel in half a year."

For those who speculate in stocks, what they are afraid of is not falling, but stability.Robert immediately understood Zhou Qingfeng's words, and rushed to say: "Harden, is your 'Holy Light Fund' already sold out?"

Zhou Qingfeng nodded.

Robert shouted happily: "I can bring you tens of billions of dollars in funds, and everyone will make a fortune together."

"Ten billion dollars?" Zhou Qingfeng was taken aback, "Where did you get so much money?"

"We are the Defense Logistics Agency. You can contact the Department of Veterans Affairs and take out the pensions in the financial accounts. Let alone 100 billion US dollars, as long as there are enough good projects, there are hundreds of billions of dollars."

Zhou Qingfeng suddenly felt dizzy.

The United States likes to engage in financial management in everything. Pensions need to be financially managed, and veterans’ pensions are also engaged in financial management. Wall Street has packaged countless financial products to make money from every corner of the world.

These military rats are really bold, and it is completely legal and compliant for veterans to enter the stock market.As long as Zhou Qingfeng provides enough income, there are too many things they dare to do.

Is it difficult to make money for the country, the traditional arts of the American emperor.

Chapter 83 Lord 'Harden' Returns to His Loyal Bai

In the face of the outbreak of the epidemic, Trump can spread his hands at the press conference and say "this is probably life", and the whole world can't do anything to him.

But as far as China is concerned, if the epidemic is not handled well, it will be blamed by thousands of people.The morale of the people and the image of the government, which have been gathered with great difficulty in recent years, will collapse.

When Zhou Qingfeng sent back the news, the elders of the Standing Committee had to pay attention.Starting from the imperial capital, various ministries and commissions have tightened externally and internally, and immediately want to find out the situation of infectious diseases in the country.

New York is a world-class city and a world-class transportation hub. From here, the virus can spread to every corner of the earth where human activities occur.

Jeffrey released the virus in May 18, and by the time Zhou Qingfeng became vigilant in June, the virus had already spread.The domestic Ministry of Health was ordered to conduct an investigation, and immediately found that it was in line with Zhou Qingfeng's "new coronavirus".

Fortunately, autumn and winter are the high incidence periods of respiratory infectious diseases. In June, China has already entered summer, which greatly limits the spread of the virus.

Judging from reports from primary hospitals, many cases have been found in most parts of the country.However, Zhou Qingfeng's early warning gave the country a buffer period of at least three months.

The rest of the matter is easy to handle, and the country has neither concealed it nor publicized it with great fanfare.The notification "WHO" was immediately notified, indicating the discovery of a new Class B infectious disease.

The source of the traceability shows that most of the virus patients have a travel history in New York.

Carry out gene sequencing on the 'virus' and make a detection box.An emergency vaccine will be produced two months later, and it will be used first for high-risk occupations such as medical care, customs and border defense.

Closing the city and closing the country will do too much damage to the economy, and this ultimate measure will not be used easily.The economic downturn has even more impact on the lives and property safety of ordinary people.

The country is very low-key and does what it should do.As for the 'Holy Light', they are frantically purchasing anti-epidemic materials everywhere.

A set of mask machine equipment usually costs 10,000+ RMB, and it can rise to millions when it is out of stock.The price of meltblown cloth can soar from less than 2 yuan per ton to 80 yuan per ton.

The production capacity of ventilators and 'ECMO' is usually limited, and no one will stock up on them.Especially the so-called 'ECMO' of artificial lung, the price is very expensive, hundreds of millions of RMB per unit.

There are only more than 400 'ECMO' units in China, and they are all in the top three hospitals in big cities.

'ECMO' costs 5 yuan to start up, and [-] yuan to use it every day. It is usually only used in intensive care, and it cannot be fully promoted.

The most annoying thing is that this thing is not made in France, only the United States and Germany can produce it.Because its price is too expensive, it makes it difficult for Uncle Zhou's stockpiling plan to proceed.

'Sacred Light' gritted his teeth, pulled a bunch of bastards from the US military who wanted to make a fortune, embezzled retirement funds to sweep goods, and swept a hundred or so units.No matter how many factories there are, the production capacity is insufficient, and there is not so much money.

But as long as the thinking is not slippery, there are always more ways than difficulties.

The price of 'ECMO' is expensive, and it is conceivable that once the epidemic comes, its price increase will inevitably be astonishing.

After confirming the news of the imminent outbreak, the military bosses behind Robert strongly urged 'Harden' to suggest to the White House to forcibly take over Membrana, a subsidiary of 3M that produces key components of 'ECMO'.

Because this company is the only company in the world that can produce 'ECMO' membrane lung components.Capacity constraints are stuck on it.But for the sake of excess profits, it refuses to increase production.

"How can I get Lao Tzu to make suggestions?" Zhou Qingfeng expressed his dissatisfaction. "Let Flynn come on. He is the National Security Advisor and a confidant of President Trump."

Robert curled his lips at this remark, "Harden, don't be kidding, who doesn't know that you are the most important word in the White House? It's just that you usually stay in New York and rarely talk."

Zhou Qingfeng liked this flattery very much, but he didn't dare to overestimate himself.After attracting enough military forces, he has the confidence to return to Washington, DC, and go to the White House for his own lobbying.

This lobbying is to hope that when the epidemic breaks out, the country’s borders will not be closed casually, at least commercial trade will not be closed, and trade with China will be maintained so that China’s production capacity can be used to make money.

If this plan can be successful, even if the trade war that Wang Wang just started is not ended without a problem, it will be greatly reduced-it will have a great impact on public opinion and ideology, but a large number of goods will be imported duty-free in the name of epidemic prevention materials.

It's just that when Uncle Zhou arrived at the White House, he found that Dao Wang was not in his presidential office.Pelosi in Congress made a fuss, and she just dragged all the members of the cabinet to a hearing.

Only the hostess Melania is left in the White House, not even Ivanka.

"Harden" played by Zhou Qingfeng went to the office of the "First Lady" to greet him politely, indicating that he was back.After all, one of his offices is reserved here.

The president's office is on the west side of the White House, and the 'first lady''s office is on the east side, and the two are often separated by a long distance.

Melania is also the mascot. She has nothing to do on weekdays. Going to the United Nations Headquarters to give a speech is already a formal job-and she also uses high-end 'toys' specially made by G Bureau. The anti-jamming and communication distance are both military-grade.

Seeing 'Harden', Melania behind the desk had the same expression as usual, and ended the greeting after a few plain questions.But when she sent 'Harden' away, there were a few slight coughs.

Seeing 'Harden' looking concerned, Melania apologized: "The last time I came back from the United Nations headquarters, I felt a little unwell. The doctor said I might have some respiratory infection, but it's not a big problem."

Respiratory infection?

'Harden' sighed in his heart, not for Melania, but for himself, "I am surrounded by viruses. Fortunately, I didn't have much reaction."

Just talking about the meeting at the United Nations headquarters, the two were a little awkward after all.

There was no one else in the office. Out of curiosity, Melania couldn't help but said: "Ivanka talked to me about you, and she spoke highly of you."

"I should be honored." 'Harden' felt a little mischievous in his heart, and asked back: "But... what aspect is she referring to?"

Melania smiled tactfully and said nothing, refusing to answer the topic of overreaching, just said: "Okay, you can go to your office. Donald will return from Congress soon."

"Thank you." 'Harden' took two steps back and wanted to turn around and leave.When he reached the door, he turned around and reminded, "Ma'am, you'd better get a CT scan of your lungs."

"what?"

"Remember the speech at the United Nations Headquarters..."

"No, let's not talk about this topic." Melania stopped with a bit of sullenness: "Although I was in a good mood that day, the most appropriate way is to forget about it."

"No." 'Harden' shook his head, "I'm not referring to the incident where you were in a good mood. It was someone who was sent to the hospital after coughing violently at the venue that day."

"Send me to the doctor?" Melania felt that her anger was misplaced, so she had to lower her tone and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The patient died in the hospital three days after being sent to the hospital. I investigated his case and did an in-depth medical evaluation. There is an unprecedented coronavirus spreading in the United States."

"Flu?"

"No, it's much scarier than the flu. There is no vaccine for this virus, and there is no specific medicine. It can only be resisted by the patient's body. I am here today to report this matter to the President.

Your cough just worried me.You should see a doctor right away and have a CT scan confirmed.I kid you not, this is a very scary contagion. "

After 'Harden' finished speaking, he turned around and left after a little greeting.But his words startled Melania. The latter stepped forward quickly and asked again: "It's terrible? Will I die?"

died?That's not the case.

It's hard for the two of you to die just by knowing how the king pumped the healer's serum worth millions of dollars directly into the body.

"Don't worry, you will definitely not have a problem. But it is necessary to do an examination as soon as possible to prevent the condition from getting worse. Once it turns to severe disease, even if it is cured, it will bring many sequelae."

'Harden' nodded again, wanting to leave.

Melania didn't know which tendon was touched. Instead of letting 'Harden' go, she stopped him and asked, "You are the director of the FBI. Did something special happen?"

"Yes ma'am," admitted 'Harden', "something is going to happen that affects global politics and economics...but now I have to see the President."

Melania puffed her chest out, and said seriously: "Harden, don't you think you should flatter me? Now I'll give you a chance. I want to know exactly what happened?"

At the end, the 'First Lady' deliberately added, "It's about my health."

You're just idle—"Harden" said silently in his heart.But Melania said that she wanted to 'please' her, so if you don't say anything, just wait to turn your face.

"A new virus is spreading rapidly around the world..."

"The one that showed up at the United Nations General Assembly?"

"Yes. But that's not the point of the question..."

"No, I think that's the point." There was no one else in the office. Melania approached 'Harden' and asked in a low voice, "Will the virus you mentioned affect me in any way?"

"which aspect?"

"It's just..." Melania gritted her teeth and said in a lower voice, "The little toy Ivanka gave me was taken from you, right?"

"Uh... ma'am, didn't you just say that the most decent way is to forget it?"

"But the problem is that the whole venue must have been full of viruses. Could the little toy you gave me be infected too? Then it spread into my body?"

Hiss... Madame, what kind of brain circuit do you have?

This coronavirus is a respiratory infection, not something that causes skin diseases like fungi.

Common sense education in the United States is really a big problem.

Wait, Melania is a Slovenian-it seems that education in small European countries also has a lot of problems.

'Harden' could only take a deep breath, "Madam, you can go to the White House doctor for a CT immediately. As for other aspects, if you have doubts, you can also do some examinations."

Melania looked worried, "Would it be too weird for me to suddenly ask to check my private parts? With the Secret Service watching, if my husband finds out..."

Zhou Qingfeng was speechless, "The doctor will keep it a secret for you."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Since I live in this damn palace, I have no privacy."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"You are the director of the FBI, can't you arrange a physical examination for me?"

heck!

Chapter 84 The Sad Fat Old Man

Melania is also an ordinary person at heart. She came from a small European country and worked hard all the way to New York. She never thought that she could marry the president of the United States.

For 'Harden' kind reminder, the 'First Lady' was a little overwhelmed.

After staying in the White House for more than a year, she has seen too much of the cabinet's incompetence and ugliness. On the contrary, the controversial FBI director looks like a normal man who can be trusted.

But His Excellency 'Harden' ruthlessly rejected Melania's request, and only helped to call the medical staff from the White House to give instructions on the diagnosis of the 'First Lady'.

Then... Trump finally got rid of the entanglement of Congress and returned to the White House.

Upon hearing the news of 'Harden''s return, the exhausted president felt a sense of relief.He sighed in front of the cabinet members, in front of Ivanka and Melania:

"Finally someone who can help. I should really make Harden Secretary of State and let him clean up those sons of bitches in Congress."

A group of important ministers bowed their heads and remained silent, feeling complicated.

They were indeed fought by a bipartisan coalition in Congress.Because of the wall, because of the Muslim ban, because of the refugee agreement, because of the trade war, the Senate and the House of Representatives have been criticizing all day long.

Such a high evaluation made others wonder what to think, but Melania raised the status and image of "Harden" a little bit higher, and felt that other people in the White House were trash.

But 'Harden' didn't come to fight for favor. The first thing he did when he saw Trump was to call a special cabinet meeting immediately, saying that he had an extremely important situation to report to the entire cabinet.

If necessary, it is best to go to Congress as well.

"Why?" Trump asked in the Oval Office.

"A plague is spreading across the United States and even the world." 'Harden' submitted the FBI's investigation report, listing the fact that the so-called 'vaping pneumonia' in the United States has surged.

Of course, Americans love to hear stories.

So 'Harden' started from his discovery at the United Nations General Assembly, described the initial clues of the matter vividly, and even mentioned that he saw Melania's light cough, and expressed concern about the physical condition of all members of the White House.

When it was learned that there was no vaccine or specific medicine for the new infectious disease, and that even he himself was within the scope of infection, all cabinet members including Trump had to pay attention.

But the way this group of people value it is extraordinary.They didn't talk about any epidemic prevention measures. Instead, they called the medical staff to do a group pathological examination, wondering if they were infected.

This wasted a whole day.

The results came out quickly, and Melania was diagnosed and admitted to the hospital for treatment.Of the more than 450 White House staff members, 34 tested positive.

Several of them have been admitted to the hospital on leave, and all of them have mild symptoms or are asymptomatic carriers.

It is very surprising that his wife Melania was diagnosed, and her husband Trump is fine, which makes people wonder if the private life of the two couples is not harmonious-in addition, knowing the king does not need to spray disinfectant on his chest.
