281: Chapter 281 The pandemic has passed smoothly, but chaos has erupted in various countries! The biggest aftereffect: Smile PTSD!
Trump felt a sudden tightening in his chest and immediately opened the report.
"... The crazy laugh virus has begun to spread in Japan, South Korea, and other countries, currently causing 4,245 infections and 231 deaths..."
"... 18 days ago, the crazy laugh virus began to spread rapidly in India. Due to India's backward medical level and laissez-faire attitude, the infection rate far exceeds that of other countries. Currently, the country has not counted the number of confirmed cases, but it is estimated that the number of infections has reached over 100,000..."
"... 5 days ago, a new mutant strain (abbreviated as R2) of the crazy laugh virus appeared in India... 3 days ago, 5 confirmed cases of the R2 mutant strain were detected in the USA..."
"... All 5 R2 mutant strain infected individuals are USA citizens returning from India. Among them, 4 are White and 1 is Black. The severity of the infection symptoms is similar to that of the Chinese people..."
"... According to the biological laboratory's assessment, the R2 mutant strain is suspected of exhibiting gene escape. The susceptible target population now covers all human races. Currently, the biological laboratory is urgently conducting gene comparison research..."
"... Based on the above intelligence analysis, the R2 mutant strain is highly likely to spread globally across the Blue Planet and continue to propagate. It is recommended that the Black Palace immediately take effective control measures..."
"— Urgent report from the CIA on April 25th."
Gene escape... all human races susceptible... global spread... repeating these key words, Trump felt as if he were reading an extremely horrifying story, his hands holding the report trembling uncontrollably.
"Lord Trump, what happened?"
Trump took a deep breath and threw the report in his hand to Charles. Charles hurriedly took it and flipped through it quickly.
"A new mutant strain that is susceptible to all mankind... What the hell!"
Looking at the content of the report, Charles's expression changed constantly. Charles had long been mentally prepared for the fact that the crazy laugh virus would continue to mutate. But what he never expected was that this new mutant strain would appear so quickly; it hadn't even been a month!...
Charles cursed inwardly, while also feeling a slight regret. Dave was indeed right. This crazy laugh virus is truly the Pandora's box of humanity on the Blue Planet...
However, thinking of the core interests and power he had preserved due to this virus war, the regret in Charles's heart dissipated rapidly.
He secretly glanced at Trump and pretended to be furious. "That damn Dave, how dare he lie to us!"
"Before, Dave promised me that the virus developed by the Kede Laboratory had a built-in gene lock and would only target Chinese people, no matter how it mutated!"
"As a result, only a month has passed, and the virus has actually undergone gene escape!"
"This is simply a very serious biological experimental accident!"
"Dave, that son of a bitch, really deserves to die!"
Trump raised his head and looked deeply at Charles. "Dave deserves to die, what about you?"
Charles's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Lord Trump, as the leader of the Yanhuang Elimination Project, I also bear key responsibility for this matter!"
"I am willing to atone for my crimes and make up for my mistakes with merit!"
Trump sneered. "Make up for it? How do you make up for it?"
"The total chaos in China that you envisioned will soon be staged in the USA with even greater intensity."
"By then, I don't even know if I can keep my position as president!"
"How else do you want to make up for it?"
After taking a deep breath, Charles said firmly, "Lord Trump, please trust my judgment!"
"Didn't you just say that the countries of the Blue Planet, as bystanders, would not stand on the side of the USA without feeling the pain themselves? Now the opportunity has come!"
"The R2 mutant strain is spreading rapidly globally, and countries on the Blue Planet will soon fall into chaos because of the crazy laughter disease!"
"By then, the public in various countries will be boiling with resentment, and the high-level officials of various countries will surely be under great pressure and urgently need to divert domestic conflicts outward!"
"As long as we can occupy the propaganda high ground at the first opportunity and reasonably and logically frame China as an anti-human regime that has touched the taboo of human genes and opened Pandora's box, they will surely become the target of public criticism for all countries on the Blue Planet!"
After a pause, Charles continued with a firm gaze, "Only in this way! Can we have a reason to suddenly launch an all-out destructive attack on China without facing widespread condemnation in the international community of the Blue Planet!"
"We can even occupy the moral high ground and use this to coerce all Western Alliance countries to launch this war against China together!"
After listening to Charles's strategic theory, Trump remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, Charles hurriedly added another sentence.
"Lord Trump! Messing up China through the Yanhuang Elimination Project is just our first step! Launching a blitzkrieg on key targets within China is our most critical means of victory!"
"From this perspective, the appearance of the R2 mutant strain is far more beneficial than harmful to our overall military strategy in the USA, and it is actually a great thing!"
"This is completely God's best arrangement for us in the USA, isn't it?"
After taking a deep breath, Trump said slowly, "The crazy laugh virus is spreading globally. I don't care about the death toll in other countries, but we in the USA will have at least tens of thousands of citizens die. Is this also God's arrangement? When did God change his name to Hades?"
Upon hearing this, Charles silently corrected "tens of thousands" to "millions" in his heart, and then said again.
"Lord Trump! Although the ordinary public doesn't know yet, we all know in our hearts that the USA has already entered a state of war! And in war, people will definitely sacrifice! In World War II decades ago, at least hundreds of millions of people died directly because of the war on the Blue Planet. What are our tens of thousands compared to that?"
"There is no turning back once the bow is drawn! Now that we have no other way, we have even less reason to be soft-hearted! We must go all in, Lord Trump!..."
Charles's painstaking words finally persuaded Trump. Standing up from his seat, Trump walked slowly to Charles. "Charles, can I still trust you?"
Seeing this, Charles was overjoyed. "I am your most loyal subordinate and deserve your full trust!" Charles held his head high and saluted, expressing his loyalty to Trump.
Trump asked: "What do I need to do?" Charles replied immediately. "Lord Trump, you just need to appease the public! Please feel free to leave all other matters to me!"
Trump nodded. "The Pentagon must submit a written report to the Black Palace every day, and you must come to report to me in person at least 3 times a week!" "Yes!"...
Time passed day by day. Early May. More than a month had passed since the outbreak of the great plague. Under China's powerful and effective control, the crazy laugh virus spread and propagated in an orderly manner in major cities in Jiang Province. Residents in various places were infected and recovered one after another, and life slowly returned to normal.
Although the energy of most of the public was not as good as before after recovery, everyone didn't take it seriously. It can be said that this sudden great plague, apart from causing local hospitals to fall into a strange state of "laughter and joy," did not cause much disturbance in China.
The main reason was that there were no deaths. Thinking back to the state during the epidemic, everyone was still terrified. This incredibly stupid new epidemic, apart from the intense soreness all over the body after onset, the most disgusting thing was that it made your cheeks ache from laughing!
It was like being forced to watch hilarious comedies 24 hours a day for seven or eight days in a row. Who the hell could stand that?
After this epidemic, most people in Jiang Province developed a sequela called Laughter PTSD Syndrome. If someone suddenly laughed in a public place, others would change color instantly, wishing they could rush up and punch him twice! ... (Please give free gifts to power with love!)
