1905 Sail into the canal
The scene in front of them made everyone stunned, and the people who pushed the boat for Ma Hui and the others were all local tribal nobles, that is, the men who were chatting with the imam in the mosque. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info
The world has a very strict aristocracy, and these very powerful families in the local area even the French do not dare to provoke but choose to cooperate.
ChineseFerdinand almost dropped the telescope in his hand, "What's going on?Chinese When did the 's forces infiltrate here?"
"Send someone to find out what's going on with me right away? Damn, are these Chinese all the devil incarnate? Why can't they be cleaned up......"
What was even more surprising was that the natives of those ports, the idlers who were not afraid of big things just now, couldn't straighten their waists in horror under the eyes of the noble falcons at this moment.
"In the evening, the heads of the houses immediately gather at the mosque to discuss important matters...... soon the crowd began to circulate this sentence, and the heads of the families who did not know what was going on hurried home to pack up and prepare for the evening meeting.
The medical team managed to get out of the port of Suez safely, and the British sailors on both sides of the rowing boat were not given them a round of applause and a loud whistle.
In the eyes of these British sailors, those who dared to confront the French bayonets were brave soldiers, who could suppress the arrogance of the French, which was a very popular show for the British.
After the sampan approached the Zhiyuan, Luo Monkey and the others just wanted to climb the soft ladder to get on the boat, but Mr. Buck stopped him, "Wait, you can't get on the boat, everything must be fully disinfected before boarding the ship......"
Under the command of the medical team, everyone's masks and gloves were thrown into the sea, and the white coats on their bodies were taken off and folded and put into a special box
Immediately afterwards, the yellow evil doctor opened a wooden box, took out bottles of fine-mouthed porcelain bottles from it, and opened the wax seal and cork in the puzzled eyes of many soldiers.
A strong aroma of wine came to their faces, and many soldiers drooled at that time: "Wine! There is wine! Is this the reward for our mission?"
"Stop!" Dr. Buck knocked down the soldier's cat's paw, "This is a disinfectant spirit, the alcohol content is very high, it is over sixty degrees, it is not drunk!"
After speaking, Buck raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then puffed at his body, and the thick aroma of wine suddenly rushed into the air, and even the people on the deck of the Zhiyuan smelled the aroma of wine.
"That's it, spray yourself all over your body and all your equipment, and then get on the boat! There are a lot of strange diseases in this part of Africa, and if you encounter germs that we haven't seen before, it will be bad!"
Doctors have become accustomed to this method of disinfection, some spray with mouth, some with hands, and wipe the medicine box with liquor cotton, everything is in order.
However, the soldiers of Luo Monkey were secretive, and they drank at least half of the sip of strong wine in their mouths, leaving a small half to spray on their clothes.
Liquor with more than 60 degrees was already considered a fine product in ancient times, and the price was definitely expensive. In ancient times, the grain production was not high, and it was a problem for the people to eat, so the brewing industry was really a luxury industry.
Ordinary people also drink some local wine during the New Year's Festival, this highly pure grain liquor is exclusively provided by the people in the city, and ordinary people can not enjoy it.
The small half bottle of disinfectant wine went down to the stomach, and Luo Monkey They all became monkey faces, and only Ma Hui didn't drink it because of the teachings, but just wiped his body with strong wine cotton.
"Look at your little bit of talent! The Führer is watching from above, and you won't have any part in any tasks after you steal a drink!"
As soon as they heard the Führer's name, the group of drunkards were so frightened that they hurriedly returned the alcohol bottles and helped the medical team board the ship one by one.
As soon as they got on the boat, Xiao Letian and the others surrounded him and asked anxiously, "What's the situation? Is the plague serious?
Buck briefly introduced the situation of the plague and finally said, "The plague is not very serious, as long as we follow our method to prevent it, we can get through the dangerous period within half a month, and the key is the ...... epidemic prevention in the future."
"But the biggest gain this time is the French, I met the French consul Ferdinand......"
Buck carefully repeated what he had encountered in front of the Canal Company building, and Xiao Lotian frowned as he listened. Immediately afterwards, Ma Hui also recounted his experience.
"We were attacked by many half-grown children, all of whom were about sixteen or seventeen years old, shouting that we were the devil who brought the plague, and then attacking them with great cruelty......!
"Looking back in the mosque, the imam and the nobles didn't say why the teenagers attacked us, and this question embarrassed them, I feel that there must be something wrong here!"
"Maybe it's the French behind their backs!"
In fact, there is no need to speculate at all, everyone present has already guessed the answer, the whole thing is organized by the French, and why are those nobles embarrassed? It is not because they know the reason for the matter very well in their hearts, and they do not want to show an image of greed for money in front of their distant relatives.
Xiao Letian nodded, "That's right, it seems that the French have prepared a big dish for us, just wait for us to talk! If it weren't for Ma Hui's special identity, maybe the three of you would have died on the street!"
"It seems that this trip to the canal must not go ashore again, inform the British to share this information!"
Xiao Lotian didn't know what Jason's attitude was after getting the information, anyway, after that, the British ** ships began to ask to enter the canal in strong words, and the French side could only step up coordination to drive away the merchant ships at the mouth of the canal and make way for the warships.
An hour later, as the sun began to set on the horizon, the first British battleship finally slowly sailed into the narrow canal, followed by the second and third.
The long fleet sailed into the canal one after another, and the Chinese warships and supply ships were protected in it, and the Zhiyuan was the top priority.
At the moment when the bow of the Zhiyuan sailed into the mouth of the canal, countless onlookers suddenly poured out on both sides of the river, and the local natives watched in amazement as the steel giant sailed into the canal, and many French people with twinkling eyes were also crowded in it.
Xiao Letian knew that there must be many masters of cameras and sketches recording the appearance of the Zhiyuan at this moment, and there must also be engineers from the French side who were studying the details of the battleship.
But it doesn't matter, the proud Chinese have already stood up confidently, and since they dare to pull the Zhiyuan out, they are not afraid of the enemy's copying.
Ferdinand stood in the crowd and looked up at the tall battleship, feeling the layers of murderous aura, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "This is the legendary battleship?
"Looks like we're going to have an arms race again! Damn, the Empire's finances are already tight, and now the Navy needs more money......"
