    Zhang Yunfei was greatly surprised by Tang Shaoyi's suggestion, thinking that Tang Shaoyi's thoughts had begun to become much more "avant-garde".  Of course, countries have already established similar forces before this.  In the spring of 1q15, Germany established a 31st Engineer Regiment in the Ministry of War and reorganized it into the "Poison Gas Release Regiment". In April, it carried out the first large-scale poison gas attack on the British and French coalition forces.  The British army immediately formed the 1st Chemical Brigade and carried out a poison gas attack on the German army in July.  Other belligerent countries have also successively established chemical units and detachments.  Protection against poisonous gases was initially the responsibility of the military medical department.  With the development of chemical weapons and protective methods, by 1q1q, all major participating countries had successively established chemical warfare leadership agencies and anti-virus detachments.  With the overthrow of Tsarist Russia, the chemical weapons shells and grenades that China exported to Russia flowed into various warring countries and were copied in large quantities.  During the 1990s, the chemical weapons of various countries have developed to the point where they are mainly projected by artillery and aviation, with chemical weapons participating in the organization and directly responsible for their use.  At this time, all major branches of the Chinese Empire had chemical weapons troops, referred to as chemical troops.  Chemical troops are integrated into offense and defense.  It is composed of observation team, reconnaissance team, decontamination team, fire-breathing team, smoke team, etc.  Its main combat tasks are: to guide the various royal forces of the empire to protect chemical weapons and biological weapons, to conduct chemical observation and chemical radiation reconnaissance, to conduct dose and contamination inspections, to carry out disinfection and elimination of contamination, to organize the implementation of smoke screen protection, and to use fire-breathing units  Directly cooperate with the infantry of the Royal 6th Army in combat, and directly undertake the combat mission of implementing chemical weapons attacks and counterattacks when necessary.  The chemical weapons units of the Royal Sixth Army of the Chinese Empire are all mechanized units, using three-wheeled motorcycles, four-wheeled off-road vehicles and transport vehicles, six-wheeled vehicle-borne mortars and other combat vehicles. They are highly mobile and can be used with armies, divisions and regiments of the Royal Sixth Army.  While other troops are fighting, sometimes they will also carry out raids, cover, and rearrangement missions with the Royal Army's scouts or special forces.  There is a chemical defense regiment in the group army. The chemical defense regiment has 6 chemical defense battalions. The chemical defense battalion has a reconnaissance company, a decontamination company, and a smoke company.  There is a chemical defense battalion in the infantry division, which has a reconnaissance company, a decontamination company, and a fire-breathing company.  There is a chemical defense reconnaissance platoon in the infantry regiment, which has 6 chemical defense reconnaissance squads.  The main individual weapons used are flamethrowers, smoke grenades, flash bombs, gas bombs, incendiary bombs, tear gas and other individual chemical weapons. When necessary, direct chemical bombs will be projected through wheeled mortar vehicles.  The chemical troops of the Chinese Empire have been deliberately kept low-key by the military, mainly because the missions of chemical troops are very sensitive. Therefore, although the establishment of chemical troops can be made public, some of the equipment and overall combat capabilities have not yet been declassified.  There have been reports at home and abroad that "the equipment of chemical soldiers, in terms of passive defense, is mainly used to perform so-called "detection operations." That is, to detect whether biological, chemical and other warfare has occurred in the area of ??responsibility.  Agents or poisons, as well as the elimination or "neutralization" of poisons that can affect combat effectiveness or the combat effectiveness of troops, so that the area of ??responsibility is in a normal state. "In addition, rapid smoke production is also one of the specialties of the chemical unit.  Each chemical battalion will be equipped with multiple smoke-making machines of different types. During combat, a camp or an airport can be shrouded in fog in a very short period of time, making the enemy almost invisible.  The air attack or calibration operation is in a "blind" state.  However, when facing combat situations, chemical units will also perform proactive tasks depending on the mission requirements, such as projecting poison gas or poisons, spreading poisons on the enemy's movement path, and delaying the enemy's movement ability and combat effectiveness.  wait.  The chemical forces of the Chinese Empire were established before the World War. It was not until the World War that countries began to openly use chemical weapons that China announced the establishment of chemical forces, but claimed that they were mainly for defense.  Zhang Yunfei knew that Tang Shaoyi¡¯s proposal to form an imperial biochemical rapid response force did not refer to the army, but to the National Guard organized in a militarized manner.  Because the biochemical rapid response force requested by Tang Shaoyi is based on responding to domestic large-scale biochemical epidemic areas, timely control of the epidemic, and the response force to eliminate the epidemic immediately.  "Okay!" Zhang Yunfei nodded, very sure of Tang Shaoyi's "avant-garde" suggestion, which is also very necessary.  Because the army of the Chinese Empire only engages in foreign wars and homeland defense, the constitution stipulates that the army is not allowed to participate in domestic affairs and actions to prevent domestic unrest and division, or even civil war.  Therefore, in terms of domestic biochemical defense, there is indeed a need for a biochemical response unit that is responsible for the citizens.  He said immediately: "The biochemical rapid response force is for the people, so it is escorted by personnel from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Military Police Headquarters, and various experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The highest command authority belongs to the Health Department, and the required equipment is provided by  Provided by the General Staff Equipment Department. The formation of the Empire's biochemical rapid response force was decided in a few words by Zhang Yunfei and Tang Shaoyi, because this issue has no value for discussion.Zhang Yunfei has always fully supported things that are beneficial to the people.  ¡°However, the pandemic has not yet been brought under control, which is very affecting Zhang Yunfei¡¯s mood.  When convening the imperial meeting, Zhang Yunfei just wanted to hear the news and progress in this area. As for other matters, Zhang Yunfei had no interest at this time and left it completely to the cabinet and the General Staff.  The sixth imperial meeting ended quickly. Everyone went back to busy with their respective duties. Zhang Yunfei looked up and saw that they were not leaving. He immediately smiled and said: "What? Is something wrong?" Tian Renjie said: "Your Majesty, all European countries are under  After this pandemic hit, everyone seems to have become quieter!  Originally, due to the strong mobilization of the US military, the Allies had a numerical advantage and could have defeated the Allies in one fell swoop during today's spring offensive.  However, due to the impact of this pandemic, the non-combat attrition of the US military has exceeded half, and the Allied and Allied Powers have also experienced varying amounts of attrition.  However, all countries strictly keep it confidential, and the specific situation is not yet clear.  " Zhang Yunfei was a little disappointed and said: "Since it is kept secret, it means that the problem is serious!  If the Allies are unable to launch an offensive before this year's rainy season, then they will have to wait until next spring.  The empire is more advantageous!" At this time, Zhao Gang, the Minister of the Army, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, according to intelligence analysis, if this pandemic cannot be controlled, within half a year, all countries will have no troops to fight!" Du Xigui suddenly asked: "  That includes us, right!  " Zhao Gang nodded, and there was a sigh in the entire hall. Zhang Yunfei knew that the military had something to say, and immediately asked: "Just say what you have to say!  Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally their eyes were focused on Tian Renjie, Chief of General Staff. Zhang Yunfei turned to Tian Renjie and asked, "Say it!" Tian Renjie bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, the General Staff believes that the country should enter a  Level combat readiness, stop all external channels, adopt comprehensive military control in the country, and implement strict isolation policies. "If necessary, it is best to nip the epidemic in the bud." When Tian Renjie said the last sentence, he almost did not dare to look at Zhang Yunfei, his eyes evasive.  of.  Zhang Yunfei¡¯s expression was surprised at first, then angry, and then returned to normal.  Apparently, the military has more information on the pandemic.  He believes that this pandemic is a catastrophe for mankind. If emergency measures are not taken, the consequences will be disastrous once it spreads in China. After all, China accounts for one-third of the world's population.  Zhang Yunfei knows what comprehensive military control means!  We also know how the military will nip the epidemic in the bud and what measures it will take!  Tian Renjie said carefully: "Your Majesty, the empire has no choice but to do this! Compared with the safety of the lives of the empire's 620 million innocent citizens, this small sacrifice is worth it! Besides, they are all our own people, and the army cannot  When it is absolutely necessary, we will not resort to last resort! " Du Xigui said: "Your Majesty, after the national borders are completely sealed, overseas sources of infection will be eliminated! At the same time, after the implementation of martial law in all domestic provinces, cities, towns, and rural areas, we will continue to eliminate them.  Influenza spreads. After a month, areas without an epidemic will naturally be completely safe, while areas with an epidemic will be locked in a small area due to complete isolation. If the empire develops a treatment drug by then.  If it does, everything will be fine. Even if it doesn't work, the number of infected people will not expand anymore. It can only be as small as a village or at most a city!"  At this time, Ru also seconded: "Your Majesty, decide as soon as possible, the smaller the number of people will be, the easier it will be to control." Zhang Yunfei sighed longly, and suddenly asked everyone: "What if there are infected people in Beijing?"  " As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Zhang Yunfei shook his head helplessly, knowing that many things are complicated and there is no point in overthinking. He nodded immediately and said: "That's right!  But there is a requirement. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, extreme measures are not allowed!  " Tian Renjie and others originally thought that the plan was ruined, but Zhang Yunfei finally nodded in agreement. So everyone hurriedly took the order, and the Chinese Empire's navy, sea, and air forces were dispatched to impose a blockade on all provinces in China and prohibit all movement of personnel. " According to the General Staff  According to the plan, after a month of strict lockdown, safe areas and epidemic areas will be distinguished. By then, as long as the epidemic areas are strictly blocked, normal activities in the safe areas can be guaranteed. However, even normal activities will be limited to the country.  China has completely closed its borders and is guarded by the military, which will naturally cause certain economic losses. However, in comparison, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.sp;However, China has completely blocked its borders, causing the supply of medicines to other countries around the world to stop.  All countries are in dire straits. If the supply of medicines is cut off at this time, the consequences will be even more serious.  In July 2021, with the advent of the rainy season in Europe, the pandemic situation improved somewhat, but within nine months, the number of deaths in Europe and the United States had risen to 50 million.  The drugs hoarded by various countries have also been consumed in large quantities. At this time, various countries are strongly demanding that China resume drug export channels.  After more than a month of military quarantine, China's pandemic influenza epidemic has been brought under control. Because of the strict military blockade, the pandemic has been unable to spread domestically. It has only been concentrated in individual areas in several provinces in the border areas. The epidemic has been brought under control as a whole.  control.  However, in areas where the epidemic broke out, nearly three million infected people are still forced to quarantine.  Among them, 100,000 people have been diagnosed with the pandemic, and more than 100,000 people have died due to ineffective treatment.  Of course, in comparison, production and normal life order have been restored in most sensitive security zones in China.  Therefore, the Chinese Empire was closed and only air transportation was opened.  Because of China¡¯s monopoly and leadership in aviation, it controls the global aviation trade.  The Royal Air Force implements a strict disinfection system at airports in various countries, and personnel are allocated according to the equipment of the chemical force.  Be careful not to make a big mistake, this is the strict requirement of the Ministry of Air and Drought.  ¡° However, air transport alone cannot meet the drug standards required by various countries.  At this moment, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly issued an invitation to the Entente and Allied Powers, asking them to stop the war and convene the Beijing Peace Conference.  The Chinese government stated that if countries end this world war, China will hand over the right to use and produce antibiotic drugs to other countries free of charge.  It also ensures that once drugs are developed to combat pandemic influenza, they will be shared with other countries.  At this time, all countries in Europe and the United States are exhausted by this pandemic, which is even equivalent to fighting another world war.  In fact, from December last year until July this year, there was almost no large-scale exchange of fire between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers.  Especially when the epidemic is severe recently, there has been no major war for more than half a year.  At the same time, because countries prioritize medicine supplies to front-line troops, citizens in the rear have no medicine to buy, which has led to many riots.  Countries were already overwhelmed by war and the pandemic. Faced with domestic riots and people's protests, governments had to agree to China's request and send peace negotiators to Beijing to attend the peace conference.  Of course, countries are more concerned about the antibiotic production licenses China provides them and the abundant new anti-influenza drugs it is developing. These comparisons are even more important.  On October 3, 1q21, representatives of the Allied Powers and the Central Powers gathered at the Empire State Building in Beijing, and Tang Shaoyi, Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, presided over the peace negotiation.  Tang Shaoyi first asked all countries to sign an armistice agreement immediately and guaranteed that no relevant military actions would be taken during the peace negotiations.  Otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation against the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire will regard it as a declaration of war. At the same time, it will not provide antibiotic drug formulas or any form of assistance.  Government participants from various countries saw that China was serious this time. In line with the mentality that even if they could not reach an agreement, they could not lead China into war at this time. At the same time, in order to obtain the right to produce antibiotic drugs as soon as possible, representatives from various countries expressed their opinions after research.  I am willing to sign the armistice agreement first. After all, Europe has entered the rainy season, and there is no shortage of time for peace talks. On October 5, representatives of various countries signed the "Armistice Agreement between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers" under the mediation of the Chinese representative after obtaining the approval and authorization from their respective governments.  , the agreement will remain in effect during the peace conference and until the end of the pandemic.  Representatives from various countries stated that they will exercise restraint as much as possible and engage in peaceful negotiations until the crisis is resolved.  Unless the negotiations break down, there will be no chance of restarting the war.  After the armistice agreement between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers was signed, it became legally binding in all countries on the same day.  In this way, World War I achieved a ceasefire in the face of this common natural enemy of mankind.  China successfully persuaded the two major military groups to implement a ceasefire and handed over the production rights of antibiotic drugs that it had monopolized for 20 years to the governments of various countries. This approach has been well received by people around the world.  In particular, the people in Europe who are suffering deeply feel extremely grateful to the Chinese government for helping them in their most painful time.  The previous dissatisfaction and hatred towards China's almost shameless financial behavior have been diluted or even forgotten with China's generous act.  Now that the armistice agreement has been signed, the warring countries have also shifted their focus domestically. With the help of Chinese experts, various countries have built their own antibiotic drug production lines, hoping to put them into production as soon as possible to alleviate the domestic epidemic.  At the same time, the armistice agreement came into effect, making the front line more relaxed, reducing domestic pressure, and allowing citizens of various countries to take a breather.  As the Beijing Peace Conference progressed, countries began to send powerful representatives to attend the conference because they had gone throughAfter seven years of war and two influenza pandemics, we are exhausted and even severely weakened. We hope that this peace conference will achieve results.  Don't be like the last Shanghai Peace Conference, where both sides harbored evil intentions.  Of course, the main reason why governments of various countries send authoritative figures to Beijing to participate in peace talks is because they sense changes in China's attitude.  At the last Shanghai Peace Conference, China only made suggestions, but this time the Chinese government directly threatened to join the war, which had to be taken seriously by the minds of all countries.  After the armistice agreement was signed, leaders from various countries took action in person and came to China to test China's real purpose.  On October 1st, David Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of the British Union Cabinet, Alexandre Millerand, the President of the French Republic, Warren Harding, the President of the United States, Baden, the German Chancellor, Karl I, the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Italian Armed Forces, Mexico  Solini, Sultan Muhammad VI of the Ottoman Empire, as well as leaders and exile governments of Greece, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries participated in the peace conference, including ambassadors to China from all over the world,  Consulate personnel participated in the observation.
