The anesthesia needle was very effective. Once the needle was administered, Campbell soon lost consciousness.
Hans did not continue the operation, but packed up the medicine box and walked out of the operating room.
The officer thought Hans was coming in for Robert, but he didn't expect Hans to directly attack Robert, leaving no one to care about Campbell.
"Sir -" The officer finally realized the consequences of offending a doctor, especially during the war, and also when he was injured.
Threatening a doctor with a gun to perform surgery on himself——
This cannot be described as irrational. It is simply a level 10 brain retardation. Even if you have a little bit of sense, you won't do this.
Of course, for Major Campbell, he probably feels that it is natural for everyone to serve him, and if he does not serve him, there will be no meaning in living.
"After we finish treating these wounded, we will perform surgery on the Major inside, if he is still alive by then." Robert continued to suture without raising his head.
The second lieutenant's eyes were full of gratitude.
The second lieutenant's condition was very serious. His abdominal cavity was hit by shrapnel, his intestines were interrupted, and he was bleeding profusely. He had to clean it first and then suture it. This was a delicate job, and Robert had to do it himself.
The second lieutenant was not anesthetized. His consciousness was very clear. His eyes looked at Robert with gratitude. Occasionally he glanced at the officer with a strong warning in his eyes. He put his hand on the holster at his waist.
If the officer continued to plead for Campbell, the second lieutenant might also shoot him like Campbell.
Of course, the guns will never be pointed at Robert and Hans.
The officer did not dare to speak anymore. If the doctors in front of him were offended, the leader of the First Army would be the one to suffer.
With the addition of doctors and nurses from the 17th Armored Division, the speed of treating the wounded has been greatly accelerated, and the workload of the doctors and nurses of the First Army has been greatly reduced.
Soon the officer hurried over with two doctors from the First Army, preparing to take over the treatment of Major Campbell.
The officers no longer had any hope for Robert and Hans. These southern African doctors didn't care who Campbell's nephew was. In their eyes, all wounded soldiers were treated equally.
If it is a wounded soldier in southern Africa, then the situation is difficult to say.
The officer did not believe that if Rock's son was injured, Robert and Hans would dare to leave Rock's son alone and rescue other wounded people.
It’s hard to talk about this kind of thing. With Phyllis’s doting attitude towards her children, if Gavin and Alvin go to the battlefield, then Phyllis will probably prepare a private medical team for Gavin and Alvin, and will not occupy public medical resources at all.
.
"You two come here to help. There are many wounded soldiers here that need to be treated." Robert stopped the doctor who was about to enter the operating room.
The two doctors from the First Army looked surprised and looked back at the stunned officers.
The officer's mood was shattered.
It's okay if you don't save people yourself. Do we need you to teach the doctors of our First Army how to do things?
"I said, there are a lot of wounded soldiers here that need to be dealt with. Which gentleman is there, I will deal with it personally later." Robert's expression was cold, and his hands had stopped moving.
The implication is obvious, if anyone dares to walk into the operating room, then Robert and all the doctors and nurses of the 17th Armored Division will go on strike.
There will be a price to pay for those who dare to threaten Southern Africans.
Failure to realize this can have serious consequences.
"Sir, please don't do this-" The officer was in a dilemma. From his point of view, Robert was going too far.
Although Major Campbell also went too far, it did not cause serious consequences.
Robert would not allow anyone else to take over Major Campbell, which would be nothing short of murder.
"In the past five minutes, three seriously injured people have died." Robert refused to give in. No matter how good his skills were, he had to do it one by one.
"The gentleman inside just asked me to perform the operation on him personally. This is my job. Please don't interfere." Robert's expression was calm, but his words made people shudder.
God knows when he will have time to perform the surgery on Campbell himself.
Campbell is still bleeding.
"Sorry, Captain William——" The doctor William brought was unexpectedly obedient.
"Doctor George, the person waiting for surgery inside is Major Campbell -" William was extremely surprised. You are a medic of the First Army, not the 17th Armored Division, so you don't have to follow Robert's orders.
"I'm sorry Captain William, Professor Robert is my teacher -" George looked at Robert with eyes full of excitement, his body instantly straightened up, and his morale was high: "Professor, graduate of the 31st class of the First Military Medical College, student number 19310507, Grant. George reporting to you."
"Hello Grant, long time no see -" Robert looked confused and obviously had no impression.
This is normal. That was ten years ago in 1931. There are thousands of students in the First Military Medical College every year. It is impossible for everyone to remember Robert.
But students must be deeply impressed by their teachers.
"Why don't you work in the southern African army?" Robert has also been in school for too long and does not know enough about the situation in the southern African army.
Grant immediately looked embarrassed.
The medical system of the southern African army is also very complicated.
There are four military medical schools in Southern Africa, with thousands of students graduating every year. It is impossible for everyone to have the opportunity to enter the Southern African military. Only the best can join, and those who are not good enough can only fend for themselves.
Of course, as a doctor, you don’t have to worry about being unemployed after graduation. There is still a strong demand for doctors in southern Africa and other countries.
For example, Grant, even if his technical level was not enough to join the army in Southern Africa, it was still very easy to find a job in the UK, and the salary was no worse than in Southern Africa.
Doctors in the UK earn very high salaries.
"Come on, let me see what you have learned these years -" Robert saved face for the students and took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment.
Grant immediately smiled and did not hesitate to do the work.
Captain William stopped talking and gained a new understanding of the group of doctors in southern Africa.
Three people died just now, so it would be normal for one more to die.
Major Campbell's behavior has exceeded the bottom line of the field hospital, and Captain William is also disgusted.
Campbell may be held accountable afterwards, but if he leaves the military as a result, it may be a good thing for Campbell.
Therefore, if Campbell died as a result, no one would be held accountable. After all, the living Campbell was a shame to the British Empire, but the Campbell who died of serious injuries was a hero of the British Empire.
So how to choose is actually very simple.
There were so many wounded soldiers waiting for treatment that when Robert entered the operating room again, Campbell had already been put into a body bag.
"It's a pity that Major Campbell died of excessive blood loss. This is not our responsibility because the War Department did not prepare enough plasma for us." Grant looked serious. This was not the first time. The War Department had never been fully prepared.
.
"That's really a pity -" Robert took off his gloves, and his clothes were soaked with blood and sweat. For six hours, Robert participated in rescuing 27 wounded people, and all the wounded survived.
This is not easy. The conditions of the British military field hospital are not very good. Compared with the field hospitals in southern Africa, they are even crude. To be able to achieve a 100% success rate under such conditions, Professor Robert is indeed very skilled.
This is not saving 27 lives, but saving 27 families.
Compared with 27 families, it is understandable that there were some flaws in the process.
This is how Liang Hao explained it to Barton.
After all, field hospitals are crowded and crowded, so it is inevitable that the true cause of Major Campbell's death will spread, causing more and more controversy.
From Major Campbell's point of view, Professor Robert left things alone and did not allow others to take over the treatment. This behavior was tantamount to murder.
Lord Alexander is still energetic. He is an earl and a member of the House of Lords. Many members of his family serve in the British military and administrative departments, and are related to the British royal family.
In the last world war, members of the British aristocracy who were dedicated to gilding suffered heavy losses. In this world war, very few members of the aristocracy joined the army.
Nobles are at a high level, and even if they have no military merit, they can still enjoy the privileges possessed by the aristocracy.
If you die on the battlefield, you will get nothing except the honor of your family.
So rather than contributing to the family, let's just be a seeder. The front line is too dangerous. Whoever you love will go.
King George VI was extremely worried about this situation. The interests of the British Empire could not be completely relied on the children of the common class to safeguard. The aristocracy had to set an example even if they were pretending.
So George VI's eldest princess and future queen also wore military uniforms.
Campbell was one of the few members of the aristocracy who went deep into the front line of combat. After learning that Campbell was injured, the British aristocracy collectively became excited and planned to promote Campbell as a national hero. However, he died in this way in a field hospital.
It really caught people off guard.
Campbell's family was outraged.
They are still reasonable. Professor Robert is from southern Africa and Campbell's family cannot afford to offend him.
Grant and other military doctors of the First Army were British, and they actually allowed Major Campbell to bleed to death on the operating table. This was absolutely murder.
This incident also attracted the attention of the high-level Allied forces in North Africa. Patton immediately called Liang Hao to Algiers to ask what was going on.
"This is the process. That damn guy actually shot at our doctor. If I had been there, I would have shot him directly. Fortunately, our doctor was smart enough, but he still wasted a precious shot of anesthetic.
"For me, it's better to just knock him out with a stick." Liang Hao didn't take it seriously at all. Hundreds of people were killed by the Allied forces in North Africa every day. Are the lives of children of noble families more precious than children of civilian families?
For southern Africa, professors from the First Military Medical College are definitely more valuable.
Although there are more professors in southern Africa than in European universities, they are not something that just anyone can threaten.
If he had known this was the case, Liang Hao would not have sent anyone to help the First Army.
After the incident occurred, Liang Hao contacted Anderson immediately and asked Anderson to handle it properly.
Unexpectedly, the incident spread, which will definitely affect the relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as the cooperation between the Allied forces.
Anderson should be held responsible for this.
"I'm not talking about the result, I'm talking about the process. Can't Professor Robert handle it in a more secure way, such as if the rescue is ineffective-" Barton is darker, and compared to him, Robert is a white lotus.
"Professor Robert is a professional, you can't ask him to become a comprehensive talent -" Liang Hao was more innocent. He has a specialization in the field, so he can't ask for more from Professor Robert.
"Okay, you have to protect Professor Robert and prevent any more accidents from happening." Barton's worry is not unnecessary. Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of the British aristocracy.
"Don't worry, I will never let our doctors and nurses get involved in such nonsense in the future." Liang Hao obviously misunderstood Barton's meaning.
Barton didn't bother to correct him and waved his hand to let Liang Hao do what he wanted.
It doesn't matter if you don't participate. Southern Africa never does this.
Looking back, Patton's attitude towards Alexander was completely different.
It was not the British Lord Alexander, but the Deputy Commander Alexander of the North African Allied Forces.
"Since Professor Robert arrived at the field hospital of the First Army, he worked continuously for six hours and rescued 27 people. He didn't even bother to drink water. He fell ill after returning. Do you want to ask the people who were saved by Professor Robert?
Those 27 people, ask them what they think of Professor Robert." Patton was furious. Even if the nobles in the UK were making noises, you, the deputy commander of the North African Allied Forces, can't figure it out. Are you old and confused?
"Marshal, I don't mean to blame Professor Robert. I just hope that Dr. Grant can return to his job. After all, he is a member of the First Army." Alexander is not here to hold people accountable, but to ask for help.
Professor Robert is still very understanding of human nature. Dr. Grant refused Captain William's order and allowed Major Campbell to die on the operating table. He will definitely be held responsible afterwards.
So when Professor Robert returned to the 17th Armored Division, he took Dr. Grant and another doctor away, nominally to exchange technology, but actually for protection.
Major Campbell's family is unable to hold Professor Robert accountable, and Dr. Grant is in great danger. Even if it is only possible, Professor Robert will not end the case.
"Oh, let Dr. Grant go back and face a military court trial?" Patton also wanted to protect Grant, even if Alexander's reasons were legitimate.
"No one is trying Dr. Trant. There are too many wounded in the First Army. They need doctors' care." Alexander actually had no choice. The domestic pressure was increasing and the southern Africans were so tough. Campbell really deserved to die. He should.
Die on the battlefield.
"You can send the wounded back to Algiers for treatment. The 17th Armored Division has begun its attack on Tunisia. They will also need more doctors next." Patton was determined not to hand over anyone. If Grant were handed over, it would cause extreme consequences.
