After Edel's order was issued, the Transylvanian Army, under the leadership of General Salamik, accelerated the work of cleaning up the Hungarians. Before, they had to worry about their reputation and the reactions of others, but now
Totally didn't care at all.
Large numbers of Hungarians, escorted by soldiers, crossed the Tisza River with their belongings and cried to the Hungarian army on the other side of the river about their experiences. However, the Hungarian soldiers are now unable to seek justice for these people.
Now they are unable to protect themselves. Because the Allies have not made a decision on their punishment or compensation, they themselves don't know what to do now.
In the East Moldavia region, the call for a referendum to join the Kingdom of Romania is also growing. In this region, people have been cheering for it around the Romanian garrison, some of which are spontaneous, and some are organized.
The local media also sang praises for this, saying that this was a manifestation of democracy in Eastern Moldavia.
The domestic media in Romania are also echoing this, focusing on promoting the Eastern Moldavia region, which has been a gathering place for Romanians since ancient times. Now it is time for them to return.
Several things that Edel focused on were proceeding in an orderly manner, which made him feel relieved. However, in the areas that he was not paying attention to, a disaster that was about to sweep the world was about to come.
On August 12, a British ship, the Montra, just left the Sierra Leone region of West Africa. The ship was loaded with goods purchased from the region.
First Mate Wells was standing on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope to check the nearby sea conditions.
"Cough, cough, cough."
A coughing sound disturbed First Officer Wells.
"What's wrong with you, George?"
After putting away the binoculars, Wells looked at a crew member who kept coughing and asked with concern.
Faced with the first mate's concern, the crew member named George replied nonchalantly: "I guess he caught a cold at last, a little bit cold."
"You can't do this. Let's go to Dr. Ruth to get some medicine later. It will take us half a month to return to the UK."
"Okay, cough, cough, cough, I'll be there in a minute."
"Then go as soon as possible, I don't want you to cause other people to cough."
Seeing George who couldn't help coughing even while talking, Wells had no choice but to ask him to get medical treatment as soon as possible.
However, crew member George's cough did not get better after receiving treatment from Dr. Ruth. Instead, his condition worsened. In addition to high fever and headache, he also turned blue and coughed up blood. More importantly, other people on the ship
I also started to cough a lot.
When they arrived off the coast of Portugal, half of the people on the ship fell ill, including First Officer Wells, but Dr. Ruth on the ship could not do anything. And the poor crew member George also gave up and returned to the west, and the Montera
In order to prevent the infection from worsening, the crew had no choice but to throw the body into the sea and isolate the sick crew members. However, there was no way to isolate the virus on the small cargo ship, and many crew members were infected.
After the Montella arrived in the UK, three-quarters of its crew were infected, and one-tenth of them died. In fact, the British government should pay attention to this situation immediately, but the current war situation has left no time for other
Pay attention. So when the Montra arrived in the UK, the sick crew members disembarked and sought medical treatment by themselves. In their opinion, the failure to receive medical treatment must be the result of insufficient medical skills on board the ship.
In this way, the patients immediately dispersed. On September 2, cases of this influenza virus were discovered in many places in the United Kingdom. On September 5, cases of influenza virus also broke out in France. On September 11, cases of influenza virus broke out in the United States.
Column. On September 12, an influenza virus broke out in the Far East. In just half a month, this influenza virus broke out all over the world.
Many people are normal in the morning, get sick at noon, and die in the evening. Many cities restrict citizens from going to public places, and cinemas, dance halls, sports venues, etc. are closed for a long time.
This wave of influenza is different from past influenzas in that the mortality rate is particularly high among young adults aged 20 to 35 years old. This makes the army with concentrated young adults the hardest hit area. The Allied Powers' offensive was forced to stop. Now there is no
When people think about war, they all want to treat the sick. As the First World War is about to end, all countries are spreading good news, and Spain is very honest and reveals that there is an outbreak of influenza in the country, so this is also called Spanish influenza.
.
As a flu with a high fatality rate globally, Romania was certainly not immune. This influenza virus was discovered in Romania on September 8. During this period, Eder, who was extremely sensitive to influenza viruses, immediately ordered a nationwide martial law.
, to combat this influenza virus. At the same time, he ordered the Minister of Health and Medical Affairs Herke to send people to monitor the trends in areas with possible influenza outbreaks, and to send people to publicize measures to prevent influenza to residents. People who have been infected will be immediately forced to quarantine.
Moreover, the Prime Minister was asked to take the government departments to immediately cooperate with his work. This made Prime Minister Bretianu busy. He also had to take care of the referendum in Eastern Moldavia and cooperate with the health department in preventing and treating influenza.
, which is quite depressing.
The Romanian people also cooperated with the government's actions, but the flu was so violent and fatal that it had a very high fatality rate. Many people were surrounded by sick people, which really scared them.
The Romanian military camp was immediately closed and under martial law. They were frightened by the news coming from Western Europe. The fatality rate was 3%-7%, which was comparable to the losses on the battlefield, and everyone would be scared.
However, despite all the efforts made by Romania, the number of cases is still increasing. And the most worrying thing about this kind of influenza is that there is no drug treatment, or there is not enough effective drug treatment. This makes everyone worried, fearing that they will be infected.
Influenza virus.
For a time, all kinds of domestic production and living materials became depressed. Materials were piled up like mountains on the docks, but no one went to work because they were afraid of the influenza virus. The people working in the factories were also sparse, and the streets became deserted. Everyone was
Minimize going out as much as possible.
According to subsequent statistics, Romania's economic index dropped by 40% during this period, which is equivalent to entering a state of economic crisis.
But it was all worth it. Because of Romania’s correct response during this period, its influenza death toll was extremely low in Europe. The influenza only killed 42,100 people, which was higher than the 127,000 people in Bulgaria next door.
Both countries have lost two-thirds, not to mention that the population gap between the two countries is more than double.
And this influenza has really caused a lot of losses to various countries. Its global death toll exceeds that of this war. It can be said to be a complete catastrophe.
