Many people in the 21st century believe that the earth is flat. It goes without saying that in 1905, even today’s scientists may not have as much understanding of the objective world as high school students in the 21st century. p>
Therefore, Henry believed that it was normal for the air in India to be full of viruses. During World War I, the Allied Powers and the Central Powers described each other as man-eating demons in their propaganda, and some people still believed it.
Rock must know more about India than Henry. Let’s not talk about whether there are viruses in the air. The water and food are definitely not clean. Therefore, if the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division goes to India, it will probably have to bring a chef with it and strengthen food hygiene.
Safety awareness, otherwise the attrition of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division due to disease is estimated to be much greater than the attrition caused by the war.
Although Earl Selborne means that even if the new First Cavalry Division goes to India, it will only happen next year, but Roark must be prepared now to avoid being caught off guard.
After returning to Johannesburg, Rock went to Harry Spencer and asked about the specific situation in India.
After learning that Roque was going to India, Harry Spencer was very surprised, but Harry Spencer performed better than Henry, at least he did not gloat.
However, the situation provided by Harry Spencer seems to be even worse: "Lord Fawalt is actually right. There is really a virus in the air in India. You will know it when you arrive in India. It is not clear what the air in that place is."
What a smell, Johannesburg’s worst public toilet, the air is a hundred times fresher than India——”
"If you go to India, you'd better not drink water or eat anything casually. The water and food there are poisonous, and the Ganges River is full of corpses. Then Indians drink the water directly from the Ganges River, and they also like to drink it.
All the food was made into a mushy paste, and it was placed on the dinner plate like a pile of - uh -" Harry Spencer himself couldn't say it anymore, he had already cast a shadow on India. p>
"Sounds terrible!" Rock couldn't comment. This is also one of the four ancient civilizations. It simply insults the word "civilization".
"Indians are all weak, so they will be fine no matter how much they eat, but we people can't. There are two types of armies stationed in India, one is the regular army composed entirely of white people, and the other is the Indian, Gurkha
A servant army composed of human beings. Every day in the regular army, people develop viruses due to accidentally consuming food and water from unknown sources. Many people even die because of this. So if you want me to give you advice, then my advice is not to go." Harry
The advice given by Spencer is not very reliable. It is not Rock's final decision whether to go or not.
"Okay, thank you very much -" Although Harry Spencer did not give Rock any useful advice, Rock was still grateful for Harry Spencer's reminder.
"Don't thank me, I can't help you with this issue. Also, if you go to India, no matter what the matter is, don't leave it to the Indians, and don't expect Indian officials and the army to provide you with help."
No matter how helpful they are, they will only hold you back." Harry Spencer's final advice to Rock is the most important.
Back in Ziwei Town, Rock went to find Abu, hoping that Abu could develop a specific drug against malaria as soon as possible.
"Medicine has been available for a long time. Although we have not yet figured out why Artemisia annua can treat malaria, this does not prevent us from using Artemisia annua to make drugs. Now pharmaceutical factories can provide drugs to treat malaria, and the effect is pretty good, better than that of Golden Rooster."
Nashuang is much stronger, at least it doesn't have as many side effects." Abu's efficiency is still very good. Researching Baiyao has brought Abu a huge income, which has greatly stimulated Abu's enthusiasm for drug research. During this time, he has been very interested in young people.
Research on artemisia and penicillin is progressing rapidly, and biological laboratories have begun to try to extract penicillin. Once successful, this will be another huge gold mine.
"Very good, speed up the research on artemisinin and penicillin, tell your researchers, I will give them bonuses." Luo Ke is very generous. He eats meat himself, and his subordinates at least drink some broth. In fact, Abu treats his subordinates well. After receiving the dividends, Abu has already given bonuses to the researchers at the institute, and the bonus amount accounts for about half of Abu's personal dividends.
After returning home, Rock didn't mention going to India to Phyllis. Rock didn't know how long he would be going to India. It might only be a few months, maybe a year or two. Considering the health situation in India,
Rock is not going to let Phyllis and Gavin go to India with him. Phyllis is better, but Gavin is really too young. If something goes wrong in India, Rock will have no place to cry.
Phyllis has been in a complicated mood during this time. Ada is also in Ziwei Town now and brings Arthur to Gavin every day. Gavin is very happy every time he sees Arthur, and the two brothers have a great time.
, two mothers are very relaxed.
Seeing Gavin so happy, Phyllis felt both happy and worried. She was happy that Gavin had a playmate and could grow up healthily; naturally, she was worried because she saw Ada going in and out of the Baron's house so unscrupulously.
I was very panicked.
But there was not enough reason to refuse. Ada's deliberate flattery was not something that ordinary people could refuse. Phyllis was surprised to find that her views on many issues were exactly the same as Ada's. In other words, the two people's views were a perfect match.
, Ada is several years older than Phyllis, and her views on many issues are more mature than that of Phyllis. I am afraid that Phyllis has not noticed that she is becoming more and more fond of Ada now.
Phyllis's mother died when Phyllis was very young, and then Philip never remarried. Phyllis had two older brothers, so when Phyllis was growing up, the role of mother was actually missing.
The appearance of Ada makes up for the lack of this character next to Phyllis to a certain extent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
So when Ada brought Gavin to find Arthur, it was more awkward for Rock to be present. While Rock was not there, Phyllis and Ada got along very happily.
Ada is indeed very smart. Every time she comes over, she will bring some small gifts for Phyllis. Sometimes they are cookies baked by herself, sometimes they are the latest jewelry from Itno, and sometimes they are clothes for Gavin.<
/p>
"Look at this, this is the standard Qing costume. It is said that it is a hat that can only be worn by the king of the Qing Dynasty -" Ada proudly introduced to Phyllis. In order to get the style of the hat, Ada put a lot of thought into it. "Really? It's so ugly!" Phyllis was a little surprised. The king's hat didn't look very good, and it was different from the crown Phyllis imagined.
If Rock saw it, he would probably laugh out loud. The one in the Qing Dynasty was called emperor, and the monarchs of European countries were called kings. Moreover, the one worn by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was called "chaoguan". The one Ada got was from a Qing official.
Wearing a flower feather on top is completely different.
"It doesn't matter whether it looks ugly or not. The main thing is the symbolic meaning. You don't know what the hat the king wears symbolizes." If Ada has horns on her head and a tail behind her, she must be a little devil.
No, according to Western tradition, someone like Ada should be a succubus.
"I don't want Gavin to be the king in the future." Phyllis decisively refused. Ada is still a bit utilitarian. This is the biggest difference between Ada and Phyllis.
"In Nyasaland, Gavin is the king." Ada is right. As long as Gavin grows up, he will definitely become the king of Nyasaland.
"I just want Gavin to grow up healthy and safe. It doesn't matter if he is a king or not." Phyllis is not as utilitarian as Ada. Looking at Arthur and Ada who are happily playing with toys together, Phyllis said casually.
: "If you want, let Arthur inherit Locke's title in the future——"
This was said a bit casually, and as soon as it came out, even Phyllis herself was surprised.
Ada's performance was even more surprising, and her eyes immediately turned red.
But she was still able to stabilize her emotions, and then Ada smiled: "It's impossible. The future Baron of Nyasaland will definitely be Gavin. I want to train Arthur to become the most successful businessman in the world and Gavin's best."
Assistant."
This was a sign of her feelings. Phyllis had so many emotions in her heart that she couldn't even speak for a while.
When Rock came home in the evening, he saw Gavin wearing a flower feather on his head and a dragon robe that only an emperor could wear.
"Where did you get this thing?" Rock was still very surprised. This was the first time in his two lives that Rock had seen a real dragon robe.
"Ada sent it. Do you think it's suitable?" Phyllis mentioned Ada very easily. Rock was surprised. He had no idea that the relationship between Phyllis and Ada was so good.
Up.
"I'm wearing the wrong clothes. The emperor's clothes and the official's hat are simply nondescript." Apart from the Chinese, Luo Ke didn't like everything about the Qing Dynasty.
"Don't you like it?" Phyllis immediately became sensitive to Roark's rejection.
"I'll find you some real traditional Chinese clothing another day. Forget these clothes. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty were not Chinese, and this set of clothes cannot represent the Chinese." Rock knew Ada's purpose, but his starting point was wrong.
, the harder you work, the more you go off track.
"It's okay, I think it looks pretty." Phyllis doesn't understand the relationship between the Chinese and the Qing Dynasty, just like Roque doesn't understand why there are so many small countries in Europe that have not been unified after so many years.
In Roque's view, the situation of small countries all over Europe is really unbelievable. Countries such as Belgium and Switzerland are simply pitiful for their weak national power, but they can still be passed down to this day. If they were in the East, they would have been annexed by some big country long ago.
.
This actually fully illustrates a truth. The Chinese are actually the most aggressive nation in the world, which is why huge empires appeared in the East. If the Chinese were the same as the white people, I guess the Qing Dynasty would still be the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
