If we could have another chance, Zhang Zhongyu would definitely choose to report the virus in a timely manner. In this way, the responsibility for the current situation is not on himself. Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed, and Zhang Zhongyu himself obviously underestimated the power of the new virus.

Fortunately, people from Zhongjing Hospital discovered new clues when they were conducting research in Anyang Village, believing that the new virus was deliberately introduced to Zhongjing City, so Zhang Zhongyu seized this point and concealed his mistakes in the early stages of his work.

In a certain aspect, Zhang Zhongyu is not wrong. No matter who is in that aspect, if the new virus is brought to Zhongjing City, they will definitely have follow-up actions. If the truth is rashly disclosed, it may indeed cause chaos in society and give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But this argument cannot have much advantage. Zhongjing City is one of the five main cities of the empire, and the military has always been strong here. It is really necessary to take action and quickly calm the chaos caused by the news disclosure without giving any chance to those in the dark.

Therefore, Tong Weizhong will confront Zhang Zhongyu.

As the mayor of Zhongjing City, Zhang Zhaohui certainly holds great power, but he has many aspects to consider when doing things. He was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Zhongyu during this virus infection incident, but Zhang Zhongyu's family is deeply rooted in the imperial medical system and cannot be moved easily.

Even if he is dissatisfied, Zhang Zhaohui cannot show it at the meeting. He must consider the overall situation.

Of course, it is not impossible to deal with Zhang Zhongyu if you insist on dealing with it.

However, this year is the year of the new term, and Zhang Zhaohui must be more cautious in his actions. Although Zhang Zhongyu's family power is only concentrated in the medical field, no one can guarantee that other places will have no influence.

Forcibly taking Zhang Zhongyu is very likely to bring about political turmoil in Zhongjing City. At this critical moment, Zhang Zhaohui could not do this.

"The virus matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, the accident will become even greater!" After a decision was made in his heart, Zhang Zhaohui's eyes were fixed.

In addition to people within the government, there are several experts from Zhongjing University. Logically speaking, their opinions need to be considered. Other people's opinions, except for Zhang Zhongyu's opinions, can be used as a basis for their actions.

Although the people below were arguing, their attention had never left Zhang Zhaohui. Therefore, his expression changed, and all those who were interested discovered it, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

In terms of the administrative functions of the empire, the mayor's power occupies a large part. Except for the parliament that can form checks and balances against the mayor, all other departments are subject to the mayor's order.

Of course, the military's power is not within the mayor's power, but the military has no power to act locally. Therefore, both sides can only be you and me, and we can all move forward and develop together.

However, news has been reported in the cabinet a few years ago that if the power of parents is restricted, the mayor's power will inevitably be divided. But now, the mayor's deterrence is still very strong.

"I know your opinions too. I only have one requirement. No matter what method you use to resolve this virus incident as soon as possible. You also know that this year is the year of the change of cabinet leadership, and any mistakes may cause unpredictable consequences."

Zhang Zhaohui’s meaning is very clear. If you solve the virus, everyone will be fine. If it is not solved well, my future will be affected. Don’t think about it!

It is impossible for Zhang Zhaohui to say such things in normal times. He just needs to convey his will directly, do things well, and prevent problems from occurring in the annual assessment of the cabinet.

In other words, Mayor Zhang felt that his words just now were already gentle enough.

The influence left over from the empire's reign before the reign of the emperor was still very powerful in people's hearts.

"Mayor Zhang, don't worry! Our Criminal Defense Bureau will definitely cooperate well. As long as the order is issued, we will resolutely complete the task!" Feng Tianhe, director of the Criminal Defense Bureau, made his statement first.

Feng Tianhe is Zhang Guanghui's man, and the others know this well, and everyone can foresee his attitude.

Others also expressed their opinions that they would do their best to resolve the virus crisis and not cause trouble to the mayor. However, no one proposed the specific action plan.

They are still afraid of taking responsibility.

"Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Administration will come to Zhongjing City for inspection tomorrow. You can wipe the things under your butt by yourself!" Zhang Zhaohui suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the virus incident.

Who is not a human being? They immediately understood what Zhang Zhaohui meant. If you don’t work hard, then don’t think about going further!

The mayor has great majesty and strong power, but he cannot complete the task of governing a city by himself. He still has to rely on the people below to govern the city. That's right, the people below will not oppose the mayor openly, but who can't do things like mowing? It can do nothing to say!

"Professor Chen, you are the most famous virus research expert at Zhongjing University. What are your opinions on this virus?" How did the virus break out, how strong the infectious ability? How high is the mortality rate? How can you cut off the transmission chain? These questions need to be answered by experts with real materials.

"Mayor Zhang, from my professional perspective, I think you all underestimated the virus this time."

Professor Chen from Zhongjing University spoke in a shocking way, and his words made everyone attending the meeting change their faces.

To be honest, although the people present attached importance to the virus that broke out this time, they were really not concerned about it in their hearts. Because the virus that broke out this time was not plague, cholera, etc., and other epidemics that had a great degree of threat that had broken out in recent years. Instead, they looked like a virus that looked similar to the cold virus. Innately, they did not pay attention to it.

When it comes to colds, there were no thousands of people in Zhongjing that day? Even if it was a new type of cold, there was nothing!

"After our research, the virus this time is not naturally mutated, but artificially created. Its infection ability and mortality rate have been strengthened. If we do not pay attention, the influenza virus that broke out in the West in the 1930s may not have appeared in the empire."

Everyone's faces became greener.

"Professor Chen, I have a question I want to interrupt. Not to mention anything else. Just the power of the virus you mentioned is not as serious as you said in terms of the current situation!"

A participant raised questions about Professor Chen’s opinions.

"On the surface, you are right, but you have ignored a fact! Statistics from the Imperial Medical Office show that three sources of virus transmission have been found, and viruses in other places are all incoming viruses."

"Apart from Zhongjing City, after the discovery of new viruses, they have taken strict control measures to limit the spread of the virus, which means that the power of the virus has not been exerted at all."

"But our Zhongjing City has lost the opportunity to control the virus in the early stage. It has spread. In addition to the patients who have been admitted, I believe there are still a large number of viruses that have not been taken seriously and are being carried by patients with common colds and are being treated in small hospitals and even village clinics."

"The number of new virus infections predicted by the MP just now is already exaggerated in your opinion, but I can tell you clearly that he is still too optimistic!"

"At the latest day after tomorrow, there will be reports of a sharp increase in new infections in the virus."

"At the same time, I am also worried about one thing, that is, the safety of medical staff. Because they have not been warned, I believe that medical staff are also threatened by the virus. Because they are the front line of fighting the virus and face greater chances of infection than ordinary people."

"If medical staff are also infected in large numbers, the situation facing Zhongjing City next will probably be even more unoptimistic!"

"This is the conclusion we have drawn, a detailed research report, I have brought a copy, Mayor Zhang, you can read it!"
