"Woo......"

A high-pitched whistle reminds the passengers that the trip's destination, Hamburg, has arrived.

The deck would be bustling with people eager to grab their luggage and gather at the disembarkation area to wait for the ship to dock. But this time it was noticeably different, there were only a few dozen people on the entire deck, and everyone's faces were very heavy.

"If it weren't for the pre-sale tickets, I'm afraid this ship wouldn't have come!"

Shaking his head secretly, Ehrlich whispered in John's ear. In just a few days, news of the cholera outbreak in Hamburg spread across the continent, and as before, most people began to shy away from the city, and only those who really had no way to take the risk would take it. For example, there were more than a dozen people on this ship, and of course, the shipping company that had to sail at a loss because they had pre-sold tickets.

"Hmm...... The port is deserted! ”

John, who had something on his mind, nodded and replied casually. For the most dynamic and fastest-growing European country of this era, the Port of Hamburg, Germany's largest port, should have been full of ships and people, but now from the deck, the entire port has lost most of its vitality and is a lifeless scene.

When John and Ehrlich stepped off the pedals, the three people who had been waiting for them immediately greeted them.

"Long time no see, John!"

"Mr. Koch? Belch...... It's an honor to see you again, Professor...... How did you get here? ”

Hard and Robert? Koch shook his hand, and John greeted in surprise.

He knew that Koch would definitely be in Hamburg at such times, and that the bull would eventually become the banner of German medicine because of his research on various infectious diseases, but also because of infectious diseases, he had to travel to the places where the epidemic occurred. Not to mention the hard work, but also to take a huge risk. John didn't know if he really enjoyed the situation for Koch, he just knew that he would never be able to do it like this medical scientist. But what John didn't expect was that Koch would know about his arrival in Hamburg today and come to the dock in person!

"Huh. Have you forgotten that there is a radio now? ”

Smiling slightly, Koch gently patted John's shoulder and whispered, "I know you arrived in Hamburg around today, so ...... Thank you, John, for everything you said in London, thank you so much! And thank you for being brave in Hamburg during these extraordinary times! ”

Hearing Koch say this, John suddenly understood.

In the past few days, in addition to trying to convince Anna. Outside of Berlin, John devoted almost all of his energy and time to dealing with the doctors in London. The theoretical system of infectious diseases he put forward on that day was so mature that it seriously lacked the accumulation of reality in this era, and it was naturally impossible to convince other physicians. So for a few days before he left London, John spent the days explaining his theories and fighting the doctors who supported the bizarre theories of miasma and soil toxin volatilization—and he had no choice but to pay lip service to the lack of evidence.

"You're so polite, Professor."

Smile slightly. John said softly: "History will prove that the miasma is just a joke, and modern bacteriology is the future." I'm just stating a fact! And, Professor, I believe that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, which is why I came to Hamburg...... It's a pleasure to be able to work side by side with you. ”

"Thank you!"

Gently patting John on the shoulder, Koch thanked him again.

If it had been a few years ago, Koch would have smiled at the most when he knew that John was backing him. It's just a matter of talking a few more words after we met, but it's completely different now than it was a few years ago. John a few years ago? Huntelaar was just a newly established surgeon, at best a fledgling, both in terms of prestige and connections; But now, in the name of a top surgeon. There is also the owner of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company, the discoverer of blood grouping, the founder of vitamin theory, and of course, more importantly, the name of the inventor of diphtheria antitoxin serum and one of the founders of immune theory, John's identity and status are completely different from a few years ago! Not to mention that this guy also has a medical school and a big hospital in the United States, and has strong partners in the United Kingdom and France......

John's report in London was very impressive.

Even though there were many opponents and skeptics, with John's accumulated prestige in England, with the support of Professor Liszt, and with the relationship between the scalpel club and the new club of physicians, John's theory naturally became a hot topic. And in addition to the advanced theories, the plan is entirely in support of Koch, which naturally makes the now somewhat anxious professor of hygiene grateful.

You know, it's not easy to do these things at this time.

There had already been a cholera epidemic in Hamburg, and it seemed that it would be difficult to control it in a short period of time, and with John's current status, especially his current wealth, there was no need to get involved, let alone come to Hamburg to venture in person. So regardless of the other side's intentions, Koch knew he had to show his gratitude, both as a supporter of the Vibrio cholerae theory of pathogenesis and as a German. So when he heard the news that John was coming to Hamburg, Koch did not hesitate to come to the dock to greet him.

And......

After shaking hands with Ehrlich and introducing the two people who were with him, Koch eagerly asked, "John, you said in London that there is a way to effectively control the spread of cholera and treat patients who have been infected, these theories...... Have you tried it? “

"Of course!"

Facing the greatest bacteriological expert of his time, John nodded without blushing.

Now that he has made up his mind to do it, John naturally doesn't care about anything, and he already plans to go all out. And now, if the cholera crisis in Hamburg is solved, it will not only be of great benefit to Johan's personal prestige, but also to the friendship of the German government! Now that he is in New York all the year round, John is a little uneasy about his industry in Germany, for example, in General Motors in Karlsruhe, Benz is faintly restless, and the German predators seem to be showing their fangs at GM and Heinz Pharmaceutical, and they don't know when they will pounce and bite it!

Gaining enough prestige is also one of the best ways to fend off these.

Thinking of this, John didn't hesitate, and directly took out a thick notebook and handed it to Koch: "Professor, this is a detailed plan I wrote, please take a look at it......" (To be continued.) )
