In 1897, the relationship between the Cape Colony, the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State became increasingly tense, and was already on the verge of war. Alfred Milner, who served as chairman of the British Domestic Revenue Committee, was ordered to come to the south.
Africa served as Governor of the Cape Colony and Commissioner for South Africa.
Fifteen years have passed. Alfred Milner, who was born in 1854, is already 57 years old. During these fifteen years in southern Africa, especially the three years since he served as prime minister, Adelaide has been dedicated to his work every day.
Working until midnight, Ade is indispensable for the development of southern Africa to the extent it is today.
In fact, it’s not a big problem. July is the coldest season in Pretoria, and the lowest temperature can reach below zero. However, because it is in the dry season and it almost never snows, the weather these days is good, and the daytime temperature is
It was around 23 or 4 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature was 5 or 6 degrees Celsius, but the temperature suddenly dropped last night. Ade did not close the window when he was resting, and then he caught a cold.
This kind of thing is normal for young people, but for a 57-year-old "old man" it may be fatal. Adelaide's personal doctor Mickey Strong also suggested that Adelaide take a rest, so Rock and West
Denis Milner simply sent Ad to Ziwei Hospital and treated it as a vacation.
During the more than three years that Ade has been Prime Minister, his total rest time has not exceeded one week.
"It's good to take a break. I remember Locke, you always said that better rest can lead to better work." Ade did not refuse the arrangement of Locke and Sidney Milner. In this world, Locke's West Germany
Ni Milner is the person Adelaide trusts most.
"I didn't say that -" Rock was ashamed. When Rock said this, he was probably just making excuses for being lazy.
"Who is that?" Ade said casually, feeling relaxed and really good.
"Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov -" Rock didn't dare to say another name for fear of being struck to death by lightning. This guy should be wandering somewhere in Europe right now.
"Russians?" Ade frowned, not feeling good about Russians.
"Yes, I have read one of his books, "Materialism and Empirio-Criticism" -" Rock will pretend when he should.
"Sounds very profound -" Ade faced forward and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair. Rock and Sidney Milner sat opposite Ade. This kind of spacious armored command vehicle is just good, show off.
There is no problem eating at the table.
The armored command vehicle is on its way to Ziwei Hospital. Although there is a hospital in Pretoria, the best hospital in southern Africa is recognized as Ziwei Hospital. Rock also wants to drag Ade out to relax, but he probably hasn’t even seen it in person.
He had seen how far Southern Africa, to which he devoted all his emotions, had developed.
In fact, Adelaide has already felt that compared with the previous trip to Johannesburg by train, the road is obviously more convenient and faster. The standard of the road between Pretoria and Johannesburg is very high. The two-way six lanes are considered a luxury in this era.
The green belt in the middle plays a good role in isolation. The driving cars will not be affected by the cars on the opposite side. Rock has not arranged to close the road. A dozen armored command vehicles form a convoy, and there is a police car at the front to clear the way. There is no problem in terms of safety.
.
“When I first arrived in southern Africa, there was no railway between Pretoria and Cape Town. Cecil Rhodes decided to invest in the railway between Pretoria and Cape Town, but there was only one railway between Pretoria and Cape Town.
It was built to Kimberley. At that time, Paul Kruger was worried that the railway would increase the influence of the Cape on the Transvaal and Orange. He was right. Later, the expeditionary force conquered these two Boers along the railway and was established.
Country." Ade was familiar with various histories of southern Africa. It was the game between these big figures that created the current southern Africa.
"What a coincidence. The Germans also think so about the railway we are building from Bechuanaland to Walvis Bay." Rock deserves to be the successor of Cecil Rhodes, and the two of them have always had the same idea.
channel.
"No one can stop the development of society. This was the case for the Boers in the past, and it is the same for the Germans now. Our generation is old and will withdraw from the front line sooner or later. The future of southern Africa belongs to you young people. Are you leading the times or are you?
Becoming a stumbling block to the progress of the times, you must stay awake." Adelaide has high hopes for Roque and Sidney Milner. Strictly speaking, Henry Owens and the others have no future. They will only follow what others say. Following Roque will make money.
I made a lot of money, but I lacked the vision and ideals to lead the times.
"We will -" Roque cherished his words at this time. For the future of the Chinese people in southern Africa, Roque will continue to forge ahead.
Sidney Milner does not need to express his position. Although Ade said "you", he was actually referring to Roark. Sidney Milner knows the limits of his abilities. He is still very competent as a secretary and an official in charge.
Forget it, Sidney Milner lacked experience in both local and federal agencies.
The convoy flew all the way, entering Johannesburg without stopping, and went directly to Ziwei Hospital via the ring road.
Ziwei Town is now Ziwei City, and the original wooden building of Ziwei Hospital has been replaced by a tall and exquisite office building. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the environment is still beautiful. Although July is not the season when Ziwei flowers bloom, the air is full of
There is still a faint green fragrance of grass and trees, and the leisure and contentment on people's faces cannot be faked.
When Ad comes to see a doctor, Ziwei Hospital and Johannesburg Medical College must be all elites. Kai Mallory, the dean of Ziwei Hospital, and Colin Bellamy, the dean of the medical school, have been notified and are waiting at the hospital.
.
After a set of examinations, there were no serious problems, but some old people have all the problems that should be expected, such as working at a desk all year round, periarthritis of the cervical and lumbar spine, high blood pressure, severe muscle strain in the waist, and poor vision.
Digestion is not good either.
It's really time to take a break.
"I will tell the Prime Minister the results in a few days, and then use conservative treatment. For diseases such as cervical and lumbar frozen shoulder, the massage techniques of traditional Chinese medicine should be useful." Luo Ke was so rebellious that he didn't blush even if he deceived him.
Kay Mallory and Colin Bellamy exchanged horrified looks, and then Colin Bellamy had Wizette called over.
Weizet is Su Xian. Traditional Chinese medicine is similar to witchcraft in the eyes of many Westerners. As for the yin and yang and five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, many Chinese people, let alone white people, don’t understand it. For many white people, traditional Chinese medicine is almost like a myth, so Su Xian
Xian's name became Vizette.
What really made Kay Mallory and Colin Bellamy change their views on traditional Chinese medicine is the effect of traditional Chinese medicine. Many diseases that Western medicine in this era is helpless about, such as lumbar muscle strain, are limited by the technical level at this time, and most doctors simply cannot treat them.
They think this is a disease and only think that it is the natural aging of the human body with age. However, Chinese medicine has a treatment plan for lumbar muscle strain hundreds of years ago.
Su Xian's family has a long history, and he is quite proficient in massage techniques. After relieving the illnesses of several professors at the medical school, Su Xian's medical skills were immediately accepted by everyone.
After learning about Ade's condition, Su Xian looked a little worried.
After Luo Ke learned about it, he realized that Su Xian was not willing to be responsible for the treatment of an official of Ade's level.
"Don't worry, even if you can't be cured, I won't behead you -" Roque couldn't laugh or cry. Southern Africa was not the Qing Dynasty, and Ade was not tyrannical to this extent. However, Roque's next words made Su Xian even more worried:
"Even if you are cured well, don't heal so quickly. Take your time, at least one or two courses of treatment -"
One course of treatment lasts for almost seven days, and two courses of treatment last for half a month. It is estimated that Ade will not be able to stay for such a long time.
"It depends on the specific situation." Su Xian was very nervous. Ade's rank was similar to that of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. At the very least, he was a regent and supervisor of the country. It is no joke to accompany the emperor like a tiger. Bian Que and Hua Tuo were both
One of them was beheaded by Cao Cao. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Emperor Huizong Zhu Yunwen tried to convict most of the doctors from Taiyuan Hospital, leaving only Dai Yuanli, whom Zhu Yuanzhang asked for when he was dying.
Dai Yuanli was later named the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, which was reserved by Zhu Yunwen for his own medical treatment.
So being an imperial physician is really not a wonderful thing, as one may be in danger of one's life at every turn.
Of course, treating the emperor depends on the specific situation. Even if lumbar muscle strain cannot be cured, he will not die, so Su Xian understood this truth and faced it calmly.
As a result, Ade had a very good attitude towards Su Xian. He was a kind-hearted little old man. He was not the legendary height of one foot and waist eight feet. He opened his mouth when he was asked and lay down when he was told. He was very obedient.
"How many times can the disease be cured?" Sidney Milner was half-convinced, partly because it was recommended by Rock, but partly because of Su Xian's treatment method.
No medicine, no injections, just a few presses with your hands and you'll be fine. How much should you charge the patient?
If you charge too much, it doesn't matter to the rich, but most ordinary people will feel cheated. If you charge less, they will be sorry for their decades of experience. Therefore, it is really difficult to promote traditional Chinese medicine, and top resources only belong to a few people.
"Would you like to try it too?" Rock said with bad intentions. Sidney Milner also often sat in the office. He almost certainly had symptoms similar to cervical and lumbar periarthritis, and there was no need to ask for a diagnosis.
"I'm not sick!" Sidney Milner said decisively.
"You are so sure that this is a disease in itself before the doctor has even examined it." Rock beat him to death with a stick, he is mentally ill!
"Sidney, you really have to give it a try, I feel much better -" Su Xian moved quickly, and the treatment was finished in just a moment. When Ade got up, he looked surprised, crossed his arms and began to twist his psoas muscles.
, similar to the old man from another time and space who danced square dance every night.
Before Rock could laugh, Ade continued to name him: "Lock, you have to give it a try, it's really amazing——"
