"Not going straight to Germany?"

Blinking his eyes, Henry asked with some confusion, "Sir, where are we going?" ”

According to the original plan, Henry planned to book a ticket to Hamburg, Germany this afternoon, but Mr. Huntelaar changed his mind at lunch.

"Paris!"

After smiling slightly, John's answer made Henry and Howard? Kelly and the others were slightly taken aback.

Seeing that both of them were full of puzzlement, John had to patiently explain: "Gentlemen, I just saw a piece of news...... Louis? Mr. Pasteur, have you all heard of it? ”

"Of course!"

"Nope!"

To John's question, the two gave two different answers at the same time. It is not surprising that Kelly, although he now focuses on obstetrics and gynecology, is normal for a good physician to pay attention to academic journals, and naturally has heard of the reputation of that scientific giant. But Henry's words are different, even though he has been serving in the Huntelaar family for seven or eight years, he is still in a state of ignorance of medicine.

"Today's newspaper says that the Institut Pasteur in Paris has been completed."

A strange expression appeared on his face, and John smiled faintly: "Actually, I have always wanted to visit Mr. Pasteur in Paris, and when I saw the news, I thought I would just go over and have a look...... Mr. Kelly, what are your plans? ”

Hearing that John was going to visit Pasteur, Kelly's heart moved slightly, but after a while, he shook his head and said, "I won't go, I'd better stay in London for a month according to the original plan." ”

A month in London, then to Germany, then to Vienna, until everyone leaves for New York, is Kelly's plan for this trip to Europe. This itinerary certainly didn't exactly coincide with John's plan. There are even quite a few differences. However, for him, although it was also quite attractive to visit masters such as Pasteur and Koch, it was far less important than visiting the obstetrics and gynecology departments of well-known hospitals in Europe.

John, of course, was well aware of this, so he nodded and smiled unsurprisingly, "That's it, Mr. Kelly continues to stay in London...... Well, I organized a party this weekend. The attendees are some of the best doctors in London, so you can get to know a few more people. ”

"Oh? That's great! ”

After hearing John say this, Kelly's heart was overjoyed.

As an American who was born and raised in Philadelphia and went to college, Kelly's biggest headache when he came to London was undoubtedly that he knew too few people. And this gathering organized by John was a good opportunity for him to get to know more people.

"So be it, gentlemen."

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, John laughed and said, "In the afternoon, Henry will book a ticket to France, and as for Mr. Kelly, take a good rest for an afternoon, because we will be busy from tomorrow......"

Go to Paris to visit Pasteur. It was always something John wanted to do.

Pasteur and Koch were undoubtedly the most brilliant figures in the medical community of this era, and Koch became the focus of the world's attention because of his achievements in the field of bacteriology, especially for his outstanding contributions to tuberculosis. After all, tuberculosis was the most brutal killer of the world at the end of the 19th century, killing far more people than other diseases. But in terms of the development of bacteriology, John personally thinks that Pasteur is more important than Koch. Moreover, it also had an important impact on Lister's research on surgical sterilization technology......

The newspaper news of the completion of the Institut Pasteur made John want to go to Paris again.

But what Mr. Huntelaar didn't tell Kelly and Henry was. In addition to the fact that he wanted to visit Monsieur Pasteur, another piece of news in the newspaper prompted John to abandon his journey to Germany.

Frederick III, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, is critically ill!

For others, the Times story may not be credible, as the words "according to informed sources," "probably," and "estimated" are used throughout the report, but for John, who knew about this period of history, he was almost certain that Frederick III had no days to live.

The fame of the Hundred Days Emperor. He had heard of it in his previous life.

In his last life, when he was in college and just graduated, it was the period when online novels were booming, and historical military novels were John's favorite for a time. And in the historical military novels, German Germany is undoubtedly an important element, so John also saw a lot of information about Frederick III. The most important is undoubtedly his son, who started the First World War, and his title of Emperor of the Hundred Days.

Calculate the time, it's almost time.

He ascended to the throne on March 9, 1888, and has been nearly 100 days now, and if nothing else, the news of Frederick III's death should have been heard in the last week or two. He had received a telegram from Professor Bergman in New York, and although the text was unknown, he was almost certain that the noble patient was Frederick III!

This conclusion made John cancel the plan.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely low, John had to consider that when he arrived in Berlin normally, Frederick III did not die as recorded in history, and Professor Bergmann would invite John to treat the Hundred Days Emperor again, and even participate in the final rescue news, as the previous telegram said!

The power of the butterfly effect, John has never dared to underestimate.

John had discussed this matter seriously with old Huntelaar before, if he could cure Frederick III and even delay his illness, as a physician, he naturally could not refuse, even if the other party's condition improved would have an immeasurable impact on world history. But now in fact, John knows very well that the other party is terminally ill, and it is impossible to have any major reversal with the current medical technology, even if John goes!

It can even be said that under the existing drugs and intensive care methods, John may not be as good as the doctors of this era. After all, John's advantage lies in the future maturity of various technologies, and the lack of modern diagnosis and treatment equipment, without the corresponding drugs, he really does not necessarily have an advantage over the German or the British doctor.

In such a situation, why get involved?

So after careful consideration, John simply canceled his plan to go directly to Hamburg and instead went to Paris to visit Monsieur Pasteur by the way.

On the one hand, because of Pasteur's high prestige, there must have been countless top talents around, among whom there must have been many Americans, and it was a real treasure trove of talents for John, who planned to establish a department of bacteriology; On the other hand, the news said that Pasteur had a cerebral hemorrhage in the second half of last year, and John did not want to meet this great man of his time in a few years......
