Starting from August 7, the China Provisional Government (due to the resignation of the president, the current government continued to perform its duties until the next president was elected, so the current government became the provisional government) declared China to enter a state of emergency, and the whole nation fought against the invasion of the Japanese plague and prevented China from becoming a "plague zone" like Japan. The leader of the fight against the epidemic was the leader of the war against the epidemic, namely the Marshal of Shangwu, Wang Maoru, and temporarily unified the power to fight the epidemic. Hearing that the leader of the fight against the epidemic was the Marshal of Shangwu, the people's hearts finally fell, and the appointment immediately received support from the people of the whole country.

Then the Chinese government distributed a white cotton mask to every person for free to isolate the virus. It has to be said that although this little thing is not much money, it is indeed very useful. Many people even take the initiative to buy more masks to put them at home. People have an extra habit of going out to the streets and must wear masks. Only Chinese people wearing black, gray or dark blue clothes wear white masks one by one, walk on the street and bow to acquaintances. It is very interesting.

This quarantine was actually strictly implemented in coastal provinces, and in some western provinces, it was not so exhausting. Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, Taixi, Anxi, Shaanxi, Tibet, Sichuan, and Xikang Province, people live as usual, but they care more about the people in the east when reading newspapers. At most, the central provinces distributed masks to everyone, and did not strictly require the people not to go out. Everyone wore masks and smiled and thought it was still a fun thing. Because the flu virus came from Japan, strict isolation measures were taken in eastern coastal provinces to ensure the safety of citizens.

At this time, the Japanese government raised serious protests because the Chinese government arbitrarily named the influenza virus that occurred in Japan "Japanese Plague". Moreover, the name of the Japanese plague was gradually accepted by the whole world, which caused great harm to the face of the Japanese government. The Japanese government immediately denied the rumors to the outside world and said: "This small-scale cold incident caused the death of some Japanese citizens was purely accidental. After it was found that most of the dead were 10-year-olds. If this part of the elderly encountered a little bit of serious cold, it would be difficult to resist. Facts have proved that no young Japanese died due to this flu. It is an extremely irresponsible practice for the Chinese government to exaggerate the flu to become a Japanese plague. We warn this unclean and unclean neighbor, please do not slander the Japanese Empire."

However, foreign journalists in Japan reported the situation they saw in Japan to the outside world. The seriousness of the situation in Japan is far from as easy as the Japanese government said. A large number of expatriates from various countries fled from Japan, a small number returned to China, and most of them fled to China, a neighboring country without a virus.

The Concession immediately became a typhoon shelter to avoid the virus and flu.

At this time, major newspapers in China promoted Wang Maoru with the titles of "The Great Marshal Shangwu Leads Us to Resist the God of Plague", "The Hope of the People of the People in the Country", "The Fight Against the Epidemic Is Difficult to Resist the War of Aggression But We Have Wang Maoru", "United to Resist the "Sun Plague"" and so on. The ten major management measures for the fight against the epidemic announced by Wang Maoru on behalf of the Chinese government were also recognized by the Chinese people. For foreigners, of course, the rest were recognized, and only the sixth did not recognize it, and the establishment of isolation walls and isolation belts was as if foreigners were all germs.

When the Chinese government announced that it had closed all major transportation routes in China, refused to enter China, refused to return to China, and refused to go abroad in any form, China immediately entered a state of "closed-off" situation. It triggered protests from many foreigners, and even foreign journalists ran to the State Council to ask the Chinese Provisional Government to explain why foreigners were listed as dangerous targets, because the Japanese were dangerous, not noble whites.

Wang Maoru explained: "We have taken 100% quarantine measures against Japan. But you did not do this. If the Japanese virus spreads to your country. And your country cannot take effective defense measures like China, I think your country will also implicate China. Also, have you received orders from newspaper headquarters in various countries asking you to go to Japan to interview the epidemic in Japan?" The reporters nodded one after another, and Wang Maoru sighed: "Everyone, I hope you will not die in this 'Japanese plague'. My friends, according to our information, the serious and unimaginable situation in Japan is not as simple as the Japanese government refuted the rumors."

Then, Chinese Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi ordered that the highest leader of China would completely cut off any relations with the concessions and isolate the concessions of various countries. Defense Minister Wang Maoru once again publicly stated that he would immediately build a six-meter-high wall around the concessions of various countries, and erect a barbed wire at the top of the walls to prevent the influenza virus from entering. Although Wang Maoru is not the president now, his words are better than the president, and almost no one opposed his proposal. Faced with a great disaster that is rare in a century, China can only work together to overcome difficulties.

Governments are very indignant about the Chinese government's unauthorized decision to isolate the concession and establish an isolation wall, and artificially cut off water and food in the concession. Just as governments were collectively deciding to protest, on August 8, after Japan, the United States, Britain, France, Spain, Germany, the Soviet Union, China... The super influenza virus named "Japanese Plague" by the Chinese began to spread all over the world, and its scale and transmission speed were so fast that it was rare in the world.

At the same time, due to the spread of the great plague around the world, the Chinese government also announced that China's customs should temporarily stop working and implement a strict review system for every type of cargo. Wang Mao ordered the Chinese coast guard troops to conduct full investigation and work 24 hours a day. Police from all over the country also joined the investigation to strictly prevent smuggling and prevent foreign goods, especially Japanese goods, from entering China with bacteria.

At this time, China was not a country with tariff autonomy. China's customs was also controlled by the Bank of Four Kingdoms to repay the Boxer Indemnities. However, after the end of the European War, except for Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany gave up, and the rest of the countries did not give up. Even the United States said that the Boxer Indemnities were used to train Chinese students studying in the United States, and did not say that the Boxer Indemnities were given. Therefore, the Chinese customs was still in the hands of foreigners. The Chinese government did not have the right to make a decision to suspend the customs without authorization, which was neither in the interests of various countries nor in the convention.

However, the Chinese government found an excuse, that is, the "Japanese plague" virus was detected in foreign imported goods. It was not only detected in the goods that Japan entered China, but also in other countries, Britain, France, the United States and even Germany with good relations with China. The Germans who went to China to hunt for gold were then sent to the concentration camps by the Chinese government's Ministry of Health to conduct quarantine and review. If the Germans feel unfair, the Chinese government will purchase tickets to send them back to Germany. This method is not only applicable to Germans who have just arrived in China, but also to people from all countries and even overseas Chinese in the country.

As the newspaper reported that foreign goods were viruses, Chinese people immediately became frightened. Chinese Minister of Health Wang Maoru announced that all workers, staff and company managers who had contact with foreign goods must be detained in concentration camps for safe isolation. If there is no recurrence of illness within a month, they can be released. This is a matter of life. Chinese companies have unsubscribed goods one after another, and foreign companies have severely accumulated a large amount of goods transported to China.

The customs agent of the Bank of Siguo immediately filed a serious protest to the Chinese government, demanding that the Chinese government open customs and not interfere with customs. However, Wang Mao replied firmly: "Open customs? What if there are plague bacteria in or substances? Please sign an agreement. If the Chinese people die due to foreign goods, the customs personnel will be sentenced for murder. If someone knows that the goods carry germs but still sends them to China, then China will export the lentivirus body to retaliate against the country's attack on China's biochemical weapons. You want to destroy China, don't use customs and trade as an excuse!"

Wang Maoru mentioned opening customs and intentional poisoning as a talk, which also made the customs controlled by the Bank of Four, which was quite helpless. At this time, the whole world was in panic, and naturally the neurotic treatment of the Chinese government was both a headache and uncontrollable. In the end, the Bank of Four decided that the Chinese Customs would accept the advice of the Chinese government and stop all Sino-foreign trade. However, the head of the customs warned the Chinese government: "Closing customs will harm China far more than the world."

Wang Maoru said with a sneer and said, "As sooner or later, Chinese customs will be restored to the hands of our Chinese. Don't worry."

"Today, China's restoration of tariff autonomy has caused great harm to China and the world."

Wang Maoru scolded: "It's nonsense! During the national anti-epidemic martial law, no one is allowed to turn on and off privately!"

China's customs was then officially closed, announcing the closure of the customs until the plague stopped and China's victory in the fight against the epidemic. Sino-foreign trade, especially trade with Japan, was completely interrupted, and all companies related to Japan were closed immediately. The impact caused was that many Chinese companies that needed Japanese materials fell into a state of stagnation.

Chinese newspapers immediately announced the number of deaths and the scale of the epidemic in countries around the world every day, which had an extremely serious impact on China. Many people obeyed the government's command for the first time in their hearts. Because the Chinese government's centralized and powerful implementation of the "epidemic prevention" policy, the Chinese people actively supported it, and in this world's most populous country, the virus was rarely controlled.
