Chapter 305: Tibetan Army Valley
.
At 6:40 pm, the convoy finally arrived at the capital city of Nyeon, Vietnam and stayed at the most luxurious Lotus Hotel in the city.
At the suggestion of Corning, the inspection team leader Ruan Yingjie made an exception and allowed everyone to go to their respective rooms for a little washing.
This move was enthusiastically supported by most people, especially more than 20 lesbians. After all, no one was willing to attend the grand welcome dinner held by the provincial government with a stinky sweat.
Kang Ning, who was originally unwilling to waste time on the trivial matters of human relationships, had to gather with local officials in the face of a warm invitation. A long dinner ended at 9:30 in the evening.
Seeing this going on, the next day's journey would be a big question mark. Therefore, at Corning's strong suggestion, a large colonel from the local garrison led two lieutenant colonel staff to the hotel overnight, hung up a large topographic map in the conference room on the fourth floor, and introduced the situation in detail to the seven heads of the inspection team and the main experts, including Corning.
After listening to the detailed introduction of several key areas within a radius of 100 miles by the two lieutenant colonels, Corning's choice of location was more inclined to be located on the southern foot of a mountain more than 120 kilometers northwest of Rong City. This is the famous Puselelen Mountain on the border of the Vietnam-Lao.
This mountain is located in the famous upper reaches of the river in central Vietnam. The northern foot of the mountain is the main highway to Nongmo, an important town in the border town of Laos.
Kang Ning heard from his father that an extremely fierce battle occurred in the area of the creek slope on the southern foot of the mountain. The battle lasted for more than 20 days. The US military paid a heavy price of 2,600 casualties, while the Vietnamese army paid more than 4,000 casualties. Aying's father Wu Yuanjie and more than a dozen generals who are alive are injured here one after another.
In the dense forest where miasma is spreading and poisonous snakes and beasts are everywhere, the US military, which has been unable to capture for a long time and has suffered heavy losses, finally called intensive aircraft bombing to carry out raid operations. In addition to high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs, orange deciduous agents containing highly toxicity were sprayed many times.
Wherever this chemical drug commonly known as "Agent Orange" is covered, all animals and plants will die and wither in a very short time. Many towering trees that have grown for thousands of years withered and disappeared during this period.
After the rain washed the remaining drugs on the rivers, it caused the death of fish and shrimps in large areas. Large areas became naked and barren lands. The aquatic plants and bamboo on both sides of the riverbed only began to sprout and grow after ten years of truce. After drinking contaminated water, a large number of Vietnamese civilians and children died of poisoning, or had mental retardation and deformed growth.
In recent years, the humanitarian institutions in the United States suddenly discovered their conscience and also pulled out special funds to help a large number of surviving Vietnamese poor people. One welfare home after another is built for thousands of children with deformity and dementia.
At that time, Vietnam and the United States had only one purpose for the battle for the Tibetan Bing Valley, that is, the Tibetan Bing Valley located in the vast mountains. It is a military training base for a military command organization in the Vietnamese side and a military guerrilla team. It is also the location of a large ammunition factory. Now Vietnamese call it the Iron Valley.
There are two meanings of Iron Valley. One is that this place is rich in metal, and the other is that the US army has never been able to attack. This valley and the defenders are as strong as iron and cannot be urged!
However, after the US military used chemical weapons, all the Vietnamese troops in this place were forced to retreat to Huichun County, northwest of Qinghua, and continued to fight. From then on, the Zangbing Valley became a veritable valley of death.
Huichun County, located on the south bank of Majiang, is the location of the field hospital established by Kang Jimin and others in Kangning.
Therefore, Kang Jimin once judged that the source of specific rheumatoid arthritis is around the Zangbing Valley on the southern foot of the mountains. Due to the harsh environment of the fermentation and fermentation of miasma shrouded in the mountains for many years, and the harsh environment composed of countless animals and plants, an unknown bacteria have been breeding.
During the rainy season, this bacteria erodes the rain and will follow the mountain torrent to the lower places.
Tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians who fought barefoot with the US military. After years of soaking in rivers and streams, wounds on their limbs and bodies were infected by this unknown bacteria. After half a year, symptoms of specific rheumatoid arthritis will appear. The longer the time is, the greater the harm. In the end, the limbs usually rot on their own, resulting in severe sepsis and various deep inflammations, until the body dies completely.
What’s scary is that no drug can effectively treat this disease at present, and highly effective antibiotics have no effect on it.
It was only after more than twenty years that Kang Jimin had some experience in treating this disease.
In the summer of 1993, Kang Jimin visited the Overseas Chinese Farm in Napo County on the Sino-Vietnam border and accidentally cured three old overseas Chinese who were suffering from such diseases who were driven back by the Vietnamese government.
After a careful question, Kang Jimin found out that these three old men were all veterans who participated in the Battle of Zangbing Valley. Therefore, he further confirmed that the source of the disease was near Zangbing Valley. He also reminded Kang Ning that all things are born in nature and are always mutually rebellious. Where poisons appear and breed, there are often detoxifying animal and plant medicine sources.
Kang Ning, who has been trained by Lao Mo, the descendant of Yao Medical, has a deep understanding of this.
Kang Ning vaguely felt that on this mountain called Puseleleng Mountain, which is more than 2,700 meters high, there is a better, easier source of medicine than in his father's prescription.
Therefore, after more than an hour of heated discussion, Corning resolutely asked the colonel sitting opposite the long table: "Colonel Wu, I would like to ask you two questions. Is the Tie Valley introduced by Lieutenant Colonel just now called Zangbing Valley? Why is the place with the least talked about in your situation introduction? "
The short and strong Colonel Wu didn't expect that Kang Ning would ask this difficult question as soon as he opened his mouth. In desperation, he had to tell the situation truthfully:
"You are right. Tiegu was also called Zangbing Valley before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, the head of state, Chairman Li Dunli, personally renamed it to Tiegu. Over the past ten years, two groups of inspectors had penetrated into the valley, but they immediately withdrew after being in danger. Now, the entire valley has been covered with weeds and thorns, but there is an open land of about ten acres downstream from the stream flowing down the mountains. Other places are either overgrown hills or dangerous swamps. Last month, we received a notice from the headquarters and sent two squads of soldiers to investigate the situation. But in the end, they returned without success. The terrain of that place was extremely complex. Many soldiers felt extremely frightened when they marched. Often, the plants and trees were all soldiers. In the end, they did not advance a few steps and they were all injured and withdrawn from the investigation. Therefore, there was no detailed information.
Reference. Sorry, it’s because I didn’t do my job well. I’m willing to accept criticism from the organization.”
Corning quickly shook his hand and said seriously: "No, no, no! Colonel, I definitely don't mean to blame you at all. On the contrary, I am very satisfied with the soldiers' ability to go deep into the dangerous land and observe the complex terrain of streams, open spaces and swamps in the Tie Valley area. You must know that Tie Valley is different from other places. Due to the biochemical attacks of the US military more than 30 years ago, and the comprehensive factors such as earth energy and toxic miasma that are contained in this mountain, the living environment is extremely harsh. In addition, over the years, people have rarely been there, and various dangerous creatures grow in rashly, it is indeed very dangerous to enter rashly. To be honest, when I was in China, I also entered the mountains with the Yao people in the deep mountains to hunt. I know that this environment is dangerous, and now it is a peaceful time. There is no need to take risks with the young lives of the soldiers. You have not done anything wrong at all!"
—
After hearing Corning's sincere words, the colonel and two subordinates stood up with gratitude and saluted Corning with a standard military salute.
Seeing this, Kang Ning quickly stood up and nodded in thanking her, her face full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
This scene of the military and civilians blending together made Ruan Yingjie and several other old experts very moved. They really couldn't imagine that Kang Ning, who was extremely skilled in traditional Chinese medicine and had such a broad mind and sincere emotion, and loved ordinary Vietnamese soldiers so much.
When I think of Hanoi, Corning stood up to teach the Japanese a lesson for the female tour guide in Vietnam. Everyone here feels that compared with the original Soviet experts, Corning is as kind and great as God!
The colonel held Corning's hand and said to him with emotion: "I will call you Aning like them. To be honest, Aning, I don't know how to thank you, but there is one thing I can guarantee that as long as you say, no matter how hard, tired or dangerous it is, my soldiers will be with you!"
Corning smiled slightly and nodded in thanking him.
Then, he signaled everyone to sit down. He immediately made his own suggestions: "Colonel Wu, is your army equipped with flamethrowers?"
Colonel Wu was stunned when he heard this, and then understood Kang Ning's intention. He frowned and thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "Our division is not equipped with such weapons, but the 56th division stationed in Guangping Province has it. If you need it on this trip, I can ask my superiors immediately and transfer it urgently."
"It is necessary, and it is a necessity! The mountains are high and dense, and we only need to use flamethrowers to open a road in the valley, so we don't have to use our lives to open the road. Then, after entering the mountainous area, we must burn a circle of about twenty meters of isolation around the open space where we camped. In this way, all the poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and breeding bacteria will disappear completely, and it is more effective than any kind of disinfectant."
Corning's reasons were very sufficient, and at the same time, he considered all aspects of the problem, so he received the approval of everyone attending the meeting!
At this point, the first destination for this trip was officially confirmed.
While fulfilling his wishes, Corning also gained the respect of all members of the local garrison and expert team, which is very beneficial to Corning's upcoming work.
In particular, the Puselelen Mountains inspected this time are a very representative area in the entire Changshan Mountains. The complex mountain range with an altitude of more than 100 meters to more than 2,700 meters basically contains various terrain and climatic characteristics, and is of immeasurable importance to Corning's action plan with sampling survey nature.
The final results obtained by using the Vietnamese government's manpower and material resources are likely to have an immeasurable promotion of Corning's future career development.
The team in charge of the inspection team admired Corning's meticulous work concept. Everyone thought of using fire to open up a way forward, but now it is rainy season, and heavy rain often comes unexpectedly, and sometimes four or five heavy rains a day are common.
But if you give up on fire, there is no better way. Now if you can use a flamethrower with a range of 40 to 50 meters and a temperature of 800 to 1200 degrees, it will greatly shorten the waiting and preparation time, increase the speed of travel, and do your best to ensure the safety of the inspectors and military officers and soldiers. This idea is thoughtful and efficient.
After completing the task, Corning returned to his room, washed up for a while, and lay on the sofa in the large living room with air conditioning. While enjoying the gentle and meticulous massage of two gentle and lovely beauties, he slowly told the things discussed at the meeting, which also won the respect and praise of the two beauties.
Considering the possible on-site observation activities tomorrow, Corning did not tempt or entangle the two beauties anymore, but instead carefully ordered Amy to record her daily work and itinerary log, and asked Afeng to use traditional Chinese medicine teaching materials to tell her the key points of her study and answer the difficulties. She also took this opportunity to slowly enter the work state.
The two beauties obviously knew Corning's habits clearly. Seeing that Corning was so cautious, they both put away their selfish thoughts and took everything seriously. The whole room rarely entered a slightly tense and quiet atmosphere.
At night, Kang Ning, who was sleeping alone in the big bed, had his eyes closed and his expression was peaceful, but his mind was rotating rapidly.
The first thing he thought of was the three assistants assigned to him in the group. Among them, the geologist and zoologist were sincere and kind, and looked very bad, but the botanist Chen Yueqin's attitude of keeping people from thousands of miles away made Corning feel extremely headache.
If all three of them could work together and help Corning with all their strength, it would have a great boost to his work and his work efficiency would have been much improved. On the contrary, this trip would definitely be troublesome...
It is precisely for such an important reason that it is becoming more and more important and urgent to deal with Chen Yueqin, who is young, beautiful and has extraordinary temperament.
