1901 Standoff
There has long been a mortal enmity between the French and the Chinese, and of course these garrisons in the Suez Canal will not give face to these Chinese, and when they saw that these Chinese soldiers actually dared to compete with each other, they soon ran out of the small building A group of soldiers who stayed behind and gathered together with the two people standing guard to form a wall of bayonets.

The smell of gunpowder suddenly became strong at the docks, and the tall and burly row of Frenchmen numbered fifteen or sixteen, each holding bayonets and screaming in slang French.
The twelve young Chinese 6 fighters on the opposite side were not weak at all, and they were fighting back with all kinds of national scoldings, and the bayonets in their hands had already collided with the other party, and they were about to see blood.
There was a sudden chaos at the dock, sirens sounded indiscriminately, and the local Egyptian people watched in horror as the group of madmen confronted each other, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling could be heard in the distance, and the French cavalry was rushing to the place for urgent support.
The medical team led by Doctor Huang never expected that this group of French people would be so rude, and we risked our lives to help you investigate the plague, and what we got was actually bayonets.
"Damn, none of them are human things! Nothing has a conscience, let's go! I don't give them anything, all of them are sick and ...... down."
"Can't withdraw! If you want to withdraw, they have to apologize...... We will still retreat after showing our bayonets, how can we have the face to go to Europe in the future......?
Only Dr. Buck was the only one in the medical team who was calm, he broke free from the protection of the soldiers around him, rushed to the middle of the bayonet jungle and yelled, "I'm British doctor Buck, I'm a British citizen...... Please calm down!"
"French, if you don't want to see these Chinese, is it okay for me to be your representative? Would it be good for me to talk directly to your officials? Don't cause a diplomatic dispute......
Speaking of this, Buck suddenly lowered his voice and said to the leader in very deep French: "Don't make a diplomatic dispute, there are more than 4,000 people in the British Navy on the sea, and if there is a conflict, they will have an excuse to intervene!"
"Are your consuls willing to let thousands of British troops board the 6 under the pretext of this? Think about it......
This sentence suppressed the arrogant French squad leader in the lead, and his eyes suddenly showed a color of retreat, "Hmm...... Okay, I'll go in and bring you a message, but I can't see you, sir, so I don't ...... if I say it."
"Now you stand back at once...... Just came from the pile of dead people, who knows if you will infect us with the plague, back off!"
Buck gasped and gasped, "Enough! Ignorant fellow, this plague is not airborne at all! There is no danger for us to stand together! Too ignorant......"
Naturally, soldiers don't understand what bacteriology is, and there were many illiterates in European countries at that time, and there were many soldiers in the French 6th Army who couldn't write or read.
The squad leader ignored Dr. Barker's reprimand, shrugged his shoulders and turned around and ran into the building.
Buck retreated into his medical team and whispered, "I see the merciless indifference in the eyes of these French people, the story told by Yuan before should be true, these French people don't care about the lives of the Egyptian natives at all, they only know how to protect their own safety......"
"It seems that the legend of the death of 100,000 people in the construction of the canal is true, and these bastard......s can do it! Now it would be nice if someone could talk directly to the local elders and give them the means to prevent the plague!"
The crowd looked at each other, everyone shook their heads, the Middle East has been a desert of Chinese power since ancient times, and the presence of the Chinese here is extremely low and not as great as the influence in Europe.
It was really not easy to find someone who could talk to the local elders, and just when he was at a loss, Ma Hui suddenly said, "I...... Maybe I can give it a try, just give me a translator! Because I'm a Huihui, and I have the same faith as them!"
"Hey...... Horse reply you believe in Allah! It turns out that you are returning! This is easy to do, maybe you can really solve the problem if you come forward, then you can bring our translator, let's go!"
"Find the most gorgeous house in Port Suez, where the owner will surely be able to help you!"
Ma Hui took the secret recipe for cursing the plague in cursive with the Yellow Evil Doctor, and galloped down the street to the west with the translator and another personal soldier.
Chinese's actions alarmed the opposing French troops: "What do you want to do? What are those three people going to do? Come back, come back immediately......
After saying that, a few French soldiers wanted to chase after them, how could the remaining brothers give them a chance, and the horizontal formation suddenly turned a corner, and several bayonets blocked the French army who tried to pursue.
"What's the matter, if you want to get past it, you can step over my corpse, and you can try it......"
The bayonets of both sides were clinked, sparks flew in the collision friction, and just as the situation was getting more and more erosive, a bearded man finally came out of the small building, it was the French Viscount Ferdinand who had spied on the medical team before.
As soon as Dr. Buck saw that the main man had come out, it could be seen from the temperament and fabric style of this person's clothes that he was the one who could be said to be here.
"Hello, I'm Buck, English doctor!"
"Hello, Viscount Ferdinand, Consul of France and Egypt!"
"Oh!" Buck was taken aback, "Your Excellency, how did you come here without Cairo?"
Ferdinand smiled slightly, "The canal is the pride of France, and I am obliged to patrol back and forth...... Okay, let's not talk about that, let me ask, what are you looking for me? What are the intentions of the Chinese to go ashore?"
Buck looked behind Ferdinand with his eyes, and the meaning was obvious, didn't you invite me in?, but Ferdinand smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, now that there is a plague in the port, the employees and garrisons of the Canal Company are panicking, I really can't risk letting you in, after all, you have just checked so many plague patients!"
Buck shook his head, "Okay, let's talk about it here...... Your Excellency Consul, you are too worried, this plague will not spread in the air at all, and our normal speech and normal life will not be affected!"
"We are in a hurry to see you, and we also hope to be able to contribute a little bit to quell this plague!"
Dr. Buck then explained in detail the cause of the plague and the composition of the germs, and finally came up with a solution.
"In general, the origin of the plague is because the city is so unhygienic, garbage, feces, sewage...... And so on polluted the groundwater, and most of the wells where the locals drank water were contaminated, which is the root cause of the diarrhea!"
"I have a few suggestions, the first port to build sewers to isolate sewage, the second city toilets should be rebuilt, and the feces should not be buried, but transported to the desert to dry, with the local dry and hot desert, soon the feces will turn into dust, and the bacteria will be killed......"
"Third, it is recommended that the local people drink boiled water by executive order, and that all well water can be boiled for three minutes to kill 90% of germs......
Viscount Ferdinand looked at Buck quietly and smiled silently, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.
