Plague is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted by the Yersinia pestis bacillus through rat fleas. Although the main transmission route is rat flea bites, Yersinia pestis can also be transmitted through breathing, talking, coughing, skin, and even incompletely cooked meat.
spread.
Therefore, the key to dealing with the plague is to eliminate the source of infection, disinfect, isolate, and even reduce the contact between people. Therefore, the Governor-General announced a ban on population movement as soon as the plague broke out.
In this way, the Boers would lose their legal basis if they wanted to enter Johannesburg again, and Johannesburg could openly shut out the Boers.
“I heard that more than 2,000 people had died in Bloemfontein in three days, and it was estimated that nearly 10,000 people were infected with the plague. The Bloemfontein City Government sent three telegrams to the Government House in one day, asking us in Johannesburg to send a message to Bloemfontein.
Fontaine provided medical support." Owen was frightened when he mentioned the situation in Bloemfontein. There were two thousand people in three days. You can imagine what kind of hell Bloemfontein is now.
Require?
Where did the Boers get this confidence?
"I haven't heard of it." Rock showed no mercy. The Boers brought it upon themselves. Johannesburg's medical force was not brought by strong winds. They usually have nothing to do. When encountering problems, they hope for external support. The Boers are hopeless now. Rock would rather
Going to help those Zulus would not provide the Boers with even a shred of help.
"Of course you haven't heard that the mayor disagrees. We don't have enough doctors to help Bloemfontein." Old God Owen is here. Philip will definitely not be stupid in this kind of thing. Roque is cruel.
If you don't even save your own people, will you save the Boers?
Don't be ridiculous, Philip doesn't care about the life or death of the Boers. These days, everyone should just care about their own affairs.
"Has my request been approved? As you can see, this matter is urgent. Bloemfontein needs our help. We also need help from others. If something happens, no one can be relied on. We can only rely on ourselves."
Roque must take advantage of the situation and take advantage of this plague to maximize the benefits for Johannesburg.
When the plague first broke out, Philip and Adelaide called London one after another, hoping to get physiotherapy support in London and more medicines.
London's answer is to study and study. In fact, everyone knows that "research and study" basically means no news. With London's work efficiency, when the results of the study are available, the plague in the Transvaal and Orange is estimated
It's also over.
If it were other people, if they didn't get help, the most they would do is curse and vent their anger.
Rock will definitely scold him, but after he finishes scolding, Rock still has a lot to do.
Yesterday, Rock proposed to the city government that in view of Johannesburg's medical level and the actual needs of Johannesburg, Rock hoped to establish a medical school in Ziwei Town and a pharmaceutical factory on the outskirts of Johannesburg.
Medical colleges are not primary schools, and their establishment requires the approval of the Governor-General.
The drug factory is a big project that requires the Government Government to coordinate equipment and medical experts, so Roque must first submit the application to the city government, and then the city government applies to the Government Government Office.
"The application has just been submitted to Pretoria. How can it be approved so quickly?" Owen knew the process. The whole process would take at least half a month.
But Rock couldn't wait. When the plague was over and the pain was gone, it was hard to say whether Adelaide and Philip would support the establishment of medical schools and pharmaceutical factories. Rock wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
"I really don't know what there is to hesitate about. We don't have to pay for it from the Governor's Palace and the Municipal Government. We only need the Municipal Government and the Governor's Palace to coordinate the relationship, and then just sit back and enjoy the results. Is it difficult to approve this matter?" Roque was very dissatisfied with the Municipal Government.
And the bureaucracy in the Governor's Office is obviously a good thing, but it should be dealt with in a special way.
The establishment of medical schools and pharmaceutical factories will be a good thing for the Transvaal and even southern Africa as a whole.
There are no medical schools or pharmaceutical factories in the entire southern Africa. Even a bottle of glucose has to be purchased in South Africa all the way to Europe. The cost has risen sharply. If a pharmaceutical factory is established in Johannesburg, the price of the medicine will drop.
More than half of it, the people of Johannesburg and even everyone in southern Africa will ultimately benefit.
As for medical schools, the importance does not need to be repeated. In the entire Transvaal, there was originally only one University of Good Hope in Pretoria. However, due to the war, the University of Good Hope has not resumed classes yet, which has resulted in the Transvaal becoming a
Cultural desert.
The medical school that Rock hopes to establish will greatly improve the medical level of the Transvaal and even the entire southern Africa. With doctors trained through the system and cheap drugs produced by factories, the medical level of southern Africa will be improved to a higher level.
If we encounter a large-scale infectious disease like the plague again, the government will not be helpless.
"Locke, it's not as simple as you think. If the Governor wants to put the school in Pretoria, and if someone wants to inject capital into a drug factory, will you agree?" Owen asked a pointed question.
Everyone wants the benefits. There are gold mines all over Johannesburg. There are simply not too many rich people. Rich people like Roque who have ideals and goals will spend the money they make immediately. More rich people are available.
There is money but no investment channels. If Rock announces his plans for a pharmaceutical company, investors will flock to him, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
"Of course I will agree. Why not? If someone is willing to invest, I would be happy to do so. As for the school, if the Governor wants to put the school in Pretoria, then just put it in Pretoria." Luo
There is nothing wrong with Roque. If someone is willing to invest in a pharmaceutical factory, this is of course a good thing. It is best to build the factory without Roque spending a penny.
As for the management rights after the factory is completed, Rock will definitely have firm control over it. If anyone has objections, they can just withdraw their shares, and Rock will not force it.
Even the school, Roque will not force him to stay in Johannesburg. If Ade wants to put the school in Pretoria, Roque will no longer care about the construction of the school. Roque believes in Ade, but Roque does not believe in Bi.
Those officials in Pretoria, no matter how good things are, if left to those officials, they will make a mess.
Regarding the conduct of officials, a recent example is the sewers in Johannesburg.
Due to the outbreak of the plague, rats were eradicated throughout the city of Johannesburg. The sewers were the hardest hit area for rats and were the top priority of the rodent eradication work. As a result, the condition of the sewers was exposed and became a major scandal in Johannesburg.
According to the requirements of the Johannesburg City Government, Johannesburg's sewer standards should be in line with those of big cities such as London, Paris, and New York, and a world-class sewer system should be built.
As a result, after the plague broke out, the staff who had to enter the sewers to clean and disinfect were surprised to find that, except for some important road sections, the sewers in most urban areas of Johannesburg were seriously substandard. In some sections of the sewers, let alone running, people could bend down to enter.
No, the sewer height in some sections is less than one meter, and the sewers in some sections are even completely blocked.
After the matter was disclosed, the officials in charge of municipal construction and the company that undertook the sewer construction were unlucky. Philip was furious and sent four officials from the Ministry of Interior and three heads of the company that undertook the sewer project to prison, and punished the three companies.
In addition to fines and orders for rectification, the three companies' losses amounted to more than 100,000 pounds.
By the way, two of the three companies are Christian's properties.
Christian is now outside the police station, but Rock doesn't see him.
All this time, Christian has been undertaking projects under the name of Roque. Now that there is a problem with the project that Christian has undertaken, it is a shame for Philip not to hold Roque accountable. At least Roque will not give him any compensation during this period.
Christian looks good.
"You really don't care?" Owen didn't believe Rock was so generous.
"Of course I don't care. In fact, Ziwei Hospital is training doctors and nurses. In a few days, more than a dozen doctors trained by Ziwei Hospital will go to Nyasaland. The Governor wants to put the medical school in Pretoria
Ya, then put it in Pretoria. At worst, I will build another one in Nyasaland." Rock now has a lot of room for maneuver in his work. In the Transvaal, Rock still has some scruples in doing things in Nyasaland.
On Lan's side, Rock doesn't need anyone's approval for what he wants to do.
I'm afraid neither Ade nor Owen have realized that in recent months, fewer and fewer experts and professors have come to Johannesburg. Many experts and professors have gone directly to Nyasaland. Rock has planned a university town in Little Rock.
In the future, Rock plans to establish the University of Nyasaland to completely solve the talent problem that Nyasaland needs.
These days, it is actually very simple to set up a school.
If you have money and people, setting up a university is a matter of minutes, and Rock happened to have both.
By the way, Rock is now a baron, and he owns a very large territory, and has hundreds of millions of ounces of gold as the foundation. If it is to build Nyasaland, Rock can spend money to build Nyasaland.
The key is what to do after smashing it.
The British government is definitely not willing to see a powerful Nyasaland in southern Africa, because Nyasaland at that time will affect the British influence in southern Africa and replace the British, turning southern Africa into Nyasaland.
product dumping ground.
Countries surrounding Nyasaland will definitely be on alert because of Nyasaland's strength.
Even the Transvaal and Rhodesia will be uneasy because of the power of Nyasaland.
A region with strong industrial capabilities, strong scientific research capabilities, self-sufficiency in food, obvious aggressiveness, strong mobilization capabilities, and, crucially, enough people to mobilize, deserves all countries to be more vigilant.
To put it bluntly, Nyasaland will be almost at the end of its rope by then. Think about Israel in the Middle East. Without the United States, what would be the fate of Israel, and what would be the fate of Nyasaland.
