346 Entering the Tiger's Den Alone

There are countless ways to solve the problem, and sending troops to arrest people directly may be the stupidest.

If the Bala family and the Varma family are really related to the riots in East Bengal, then Lord Belloc invites the heads of these two families to a banquet in Dhaka, so they probably really don't dare to come.

This also explains a lot of problems. If they really don't come, it won't be too late to send troops to arrest them.

It would be better if they came, then they could detain the person first and then investigate slowly. With the hostage in hand, Dhaka would be in an invincible position.

Lord Belloc had no reason not to adopt such a suggestion. After the meeting, the twelve injured were sent to the temporary hospital of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division for treatment.

Not twelve, two more died last night due to excessive blood loss, and now there are still ten left.

Among the remaining ten injured, nine had injuries to their limbs and had been treated by doctors in Dhaka. Although the treatment method was not very good, as long as no wound infection occurred, the chance of recovery was relatively high.

The most serious one was a penetrating injury to the chest. When he was sent to the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, he was already unconscious and could die from his injuries at any time. After consultation with the injured at the temporary hospital, interim director Jack Webster said

The situation is very serious. Even if you send Ziwei Hospital to such an injury, Ziwei Hospital is not 100% sure.

"Let's do our best to obey fate. We will do our best to save people. Whether we can survive depends on God's will." Rock really likes this excuse now. No wonder many people talk about God.

The Johannesburg Medical College has also just started research on battlefield rescue in the past two years. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Johannesburg Medical College sent a medical team to the Far East and came into contact with a large number of cases and accumulated a lot of experience. Colin Bellamy is conducting research on those

The cases are summarized, hoping to assist future teaching work.

Jack Webster also went to the Far East. During his stay in the Far East, Jack Webster participated in up to seven operations in one day. Due to lack of experience and crude medical methods, most of the operations failed. Relatively speaking,

, the medical equipment and drugs in the temporary hospital are relatively complete now, and it should be said that we have a relatively high degree of confidence.

It can be seen that Jack Webster also accepted Rock's statement, so Jack Webster immediately organized the operation, and all six doctors from the temporary hospital participated. This was also a rare opportunity.

The operation lasted four hours. After the operation, a doctor suggested that the newly developed penicillin should be used on the injured, but Jack Webster refused.

With Roque's help, Johannesburg's medical industry has taken many detours. This is the role of the "prophet". Although Roque does not know the specific extraction process of penicillin, Roque at least knows that it was found on a kind of melon.

A large amount of mold can be used to extract penicillin, and the corresponding culture solution can be prepared from corn flour.

It's like cooking. Roque doesn't know how to cook twice-cooked pork, but he knows that twice-cooked pork requires bean paste, and then tells the chef to try it slowly. If he does it a few times, he can always make qualified twice-cooked pork.

Although penicillin has been successfully developed, it cannot be produced on a large scale, so the price of penicillin is very high now. It is real liquid gold. Of course, Jack Webster does not agree to use penicillin on ordinary Indians, unless Lord Belloc

Agree to pay for it.

Rock didn't know about this at all, so even if Rock wanted to promote humanitarianism, he couldn't do it.

After Lord Belloc's invitations were sent to the Bara family and the Warmer family respectively, the head of the Barla family gladly went to the invitation, but the head of the Warmer family only sent his son because he was feeling unwell.

Not the eldest son yet.

"Locke, I want you to go to the territory of the Varma family in person to see if the head of the Varma family is really unwell." Lord Beilock did not give up and hoped that Rock would take responsibility.

It's funny to say that in the whole of Dhaka, the only "outsider" in Dhaka that Lord Belloc can truly trust is Rock.

Other officials in Dhaka are too deeply involved with various forces in East Bengal, so it is difficult to gain the true trust of Lord Belloc.

On the contrary, Rock, an "outsider", is the real Baron of the Empire, and it is natural for him to serve the Empire.

What's more, whether it is Garfield Huntington or Mars Howard, their abilities have certain problems, and Lord Belloc can't believe their judgment.

Of course, it is not appropriate to let Rock go. If the Varma family is really hiding something evil, then Rock's trip will be very dangerous.

So Lord Belloc was also in a dilemma: "You can refuse, but I hope you can take the initiative. These are troubled times, and we must overcome the difficulties together."

"It's okay, Lord. I'll go back and make preparations. I'll go there tomorrow." Luo Ke acted casually, as if he was not exploring the dragon's den but going to a banquet.

"Thank you, Locke, be careful." Lord Bellock hugged Locke forcefully to express his apology. The British actually pay great attention to social distance, and friends rarely use such warm gestures to express their emotions.

Without Lord Belloc's reminder, Rock would be even more careful. This is a visit to the home of the Indian king, not a banquet at the Governor's Mansion. Rock has many issues to consider. Safety must be the first priority, food hygiene, living habits, etc.

Some threats are visible and some are invisible. Rock can only try his best to prevent them and cannot cover everything.

In front of Lord Minto and Lord Belloc, Rock should keep a low profile, so he doesn't have to worry about this problem when he goes to Val.

So when Rock set out, he directly took a company there, and all the soldiers went there in armored vehicles and trucks. Even if the Valmo family really had a problem, Rock believed that one company could be enough to wipe out the Valmo family.

When heading to Valmo, Rock had a conversation with the young patriarch of Valmo in the Tiger's carriage.

"You also went to school in London? What a coincidence. I just graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst last year. How does London feel to you?" Rock took the initiative to chat with the young patriarch.

"Not very good." On the surface, the young patriarch looks almost the same as a white man. He is probably a little taciturn because he is worried a lot.

The polarization in India is very serious. The high-caste Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas are actually standard Aryans, the kind of people who are called the purest people by Mustache.

The vast majority of Shudras are conquered indigenous people and are non-Aryans. They are composed of senior servants and craftsmen who serve meals and cook meals. They are the most populous caste and engage in occupations that are considered lowly in India.

career.

In appearance, the Aryans are actually all white. They do not intermarry with local Indians, so their appearance has not changed much over the years.

As for Shudras and Dalits, especially Dalits who are called "untouchables", in fact, most of them have dark skin and look just like Africans with lighter skin.

"It's really not that good. The rejection of Orientals in London is still very serious. I was once humiliated in front of someone at Sandhurst." Rock recalled some bad memories.

It was obvious that the young patriarch resonated with this topic. Seeing that Luo Ke stopped talking, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what?"

"Then, of course, I let them understand that if they do something wrong, they have to pay the price." This is what Roque wants. He is not afraid of not speaking, but afraid of losing interest: "Many British people are also arrogant, and they may not be able to do anything for the rest of their lives.

"You will leave the UK, and your understanding of the world will depend entirely on newspaper descriptions or other people's reports. Since you have studied in London, you should know how unreliable the London newspaper reports are."

"I also worked as a reporter in London, and their editors were indeed quite harsh." The young patriarch gradually started talking.

"That newspaper?" Rock asked. Rock and the young patriarch also had a lot to talk about in this regard.

"Daily Mail" The young patriarch's answer did not disappoint Rock.

"Uh, I'm sorry, but there's no need for me to apologize. I hadn't bought the Daily Mail when you were studying in London. It seems that your evaluation of the Daily Mail is accurate. Their editor is indeed

His ability was not good, so he did not manage well, and the boss lost money, so he had no choice but to sell the newspaper." Luo Ke laughed loudly, this could be considered as revenge for the young patriarch.

Sure enough, when the young patriarch looked at Roque, his eyes were filled with surprise: "You actually bought the Daily Mail? How did you do it?"

"I went to the owner of the Daily Mail and told him that he was losing a hundred pounds a day running the Daily Mail, so why not take a thousand pounds and go on holiday? Then the Daily Mail

The boss of the Post accepted it." Rock downplayed it, and there was no need to go into detail about the specific process.

"That's what I said, but" the young patriarch felt that Roque's explanation was a bit unreliable, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Or I have too little social experience.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. London is actually the same as India. It is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. From this perspective, it is the same in any country in the world." Rock knew how to arouse the interest of the young patriarch and what ideals he should have.

Ah, the world, the distance and poetry are the most resonant.

"Yes, India is also a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. This is so true, isn't it in our Var?" The young patriarch was almost fooled, but he stopped in time.

Rock felt a little regretful, but he was not discouraged. The road to Valma was still far away, and the road traffic conditions were very poor. The car was stumbling and he couldn't get up even if he wanted to go faster. Dealing with "children" is not something you have to do.

Be patient.
