By Lucien, he is referring to the discovery of pathogenic bacteria.

Bacteria were actually discovered very early, as early as 1702, the Dutch scientist Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria using a microscope of his own invention. But people at that time did not associate germs with diseases. Moreover, because bacteria are colorless and transparent, even if you use a microscope, you can only see some shadows formed by the refraction of light caused by the movement of bacteria, and you can't see the structural characteristics of bacteria at all, and naturally you can't distinguish the type and number of bacteria.

As a result, for a long time, the discovery of bacteria basically had no other meaning than to provide people with some talking points.

Since the relationship between bacteria and diseases has not been verified, it is natural that no technologies such as disinfection and sterilization will appear. In previous wars, in order to reduce the losses of his soldiers, Joseph excused himself by saying that he had seen in a medieval notebook that the barbarians in the East boiled the gauze used for bandaging in boiling water to reduce the fever and suppuration of the wounded. Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, it can be proved by facts.

It turned out that gauze, boiled in boiling water and then dried in the sun, instead of other untreated dressings, was very effective, and the chances of death from infection among the wounded and prisoners were greatly reduced.

It is not known what caused this, but since it worked, it began to spread throughout France after Napoleon became First Consul. This was also mentioned in The Lancet magazine.

Joseph stated that "to exist is to be reasonable". Since this method has proven to work, there must be a scientific reason behind it that we have not yet had time to discover. Joseph offered a prize of 5,000 francs to encourage scholars to study the scientific principles behind it.

Not long ago, one of Joseph's Irish students, Carol, achieved decisive results through her own efforts in the general direction indicated by Joseph.

The teacher suspected that there must be some difference between the boiled gauze and the uncooked gauze that we could not see. He even mentioned to me the discovery of Mr. Leeuwen-Hooke.

Teacher Bonaparte said to me, 'Carol, I have always had a suspicion that the wound ulcers, the high fever, and all that was caused by some kind of parasite. This parasite is very small, most likely smaller than the mites. So much so that it is impossible to see it with the naked eye. Mr. Leeuwenhook had used a microscope to find some very small organisms, and I suspect that these things might be some kind of very small parasites, and they may be the culprits for the problems of wound ulcers, fever, etc.

If my conjecture is true, then the bug must have multiplied on the wound of the purulent ulcer. It's just that these things are colorless and transparent, and we can't see them clearly, let alone determine the changes in their numbers. Alas, if only there was a way to make them opaque and colored. ’

I had an idea and blurted out, 'Why don't we try to see if we can use some kind of dye to dye these little bugs?' ’

Mr. Bonaparte was very impressed with this suggestion, and he encouraged me to start my research in this direction...... Since then, I have tried many kinds of dyes, but none of them have worked well, but my teachers have always supported me and encouraged me. He said to me, 'I am sure you will be the scientific pride of Ireland.' ’

With the encouragement of my teacher, I suffered failure after failure, but in the end, as my teacher said, 'opportunity always favors those who are prepared'......" – "Fighting Illness – Memoirs of Carol Ohaf"

With bacterial staining techniques, the relationship between bacteria and various infections becomes apparent.

Within a week or so of having this technique, Carroll had drawn dozens of pathogenic bacteria, including tetanus bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus. Based on this discovery, Carroll wrote a dissertation and submitted it to the French Academy of Sciences.

This was definitely an epoch-making discovery, but Lucien proposed that the paper be postponed.

Lucien said, "Joseph, ask your students to revise their papers, I don't think the evidence is enough, there should be clinical data." We were going to find a hospital in France, where we would experiment with strict measures to disinfect all kinds of facilities, such as mattresses, and then we would record the infection rates of patients, and then we would pick up a British hospital, preferably one with a Tory and Anglican background, and get the infection and death rates in similar situations.

Then we published an article in The Lancet called "Some Experiences with French Hospitals". Well, Joseph, our French hospitals have long been bandaging and sterilizing with gauze boiling and sun exposure. In this article, we will first introduce this experience, and in particular, point out that it comes from records related to the nomads of the East. Then come up with your parasite guess and how our hospitals compare to those in the UK in terms of infection and mortality.

The Lancet has a very limited audience, and its article does not cause much repercussions. It doesn't matter, that's all we need. We waited a month, and then let Science Pravda report it in the popular science section, and pointed out that 'the hospitals of the British, because of all kinds of filthy and unsanitary conditions, have become slaughterhouses for the slaughter of the sick.' It is worth pondering that for a whole month, after the Lancet had already introduced the proven French method, the British medical authorities did not respond to such a matter of people's lives. ’

Such a report is sure to provoke the displeasure of the fellows in England, and then we will have the London Businessman publish an article that will be analysed from an economic point of view and come to the conclusion that it is more profitable to let the inferior die than to spend the cost of improving the hospital.

Then let The Sun and Charlie the Woodpecker follow, using the most acrimonious language to satirize, and finally form a big controversy. We let this debate go on for a month or so, create all sorts of gimmicks, get the British to put on a full show, and then get Nature, our other newspapers and magazines involved, and then ......"

"The Lancet is a bi-monthly magazine, and it's time for the next issue of The Lancet to be published. In this issue of The Lancet, we threw out the decisive evidence, that is, the essay of Joseph your students, and completely crushed them. Napoleon interjected, "We have to raise the wave a little higher, and it is better to get the denial of medicine in England as a whole, and it is better to seduce the Royal Academy of Sciences to jump out and endorse the British Doctors' Guild, and then we will bring them down and discredit them, both the British press and the British Academy." And by the way, establish our authority. Well, I think I have a suggestion to stimulate the Brits and make them crazier and more foreign-looking......"

At this point, Napoleon suddenly shut up, he looked back at Joseph, and then said, "I just have a suggestion, can it be done, let's discuss it together......"

"Napoleon, what do you say? There are only a few of us brothers here, what else can't we say? Hurry up and say, don't grind! Joseph said with a frown.

"Then I can say it...... Don't say I shouldn't say it, I'll just make a proposal...... If not...... You didn't say anything about it......"

"Less nonsense, talk fast!"

"Well, I think there are some details of Lucien's plan that could be improved...... Well, let's let Polina and sister-in-law ......" Speaking of this, Napoleon quickly glanced at Joseph, and saw that Joseph's face did not seem to have any life, so he continued, "Let Polina accompany Paulina to London to play, and then as part of the charity activity, go to a British hospital to donate, because it is a charity action, of course, you can choose a relatively low-level hospital with particularly poor conditions."

Then the controversial article in Science Pravda could be written by Polina. The payment was made under her pseudonym. The British certainly can't stand a woman pointing fingers at them, and they will definitely dance more happily. Then let Polina fight a pen and ink war with them...... Well, Polina's language can be sharper, sarcastic or something, how to be harsh, how to be irresponsible. Other newspapers could follow suit and satirize that the British are not as scientifically literate as women...... It's really, even more amusing than Molière's comedies...... Well...... Joseph, if you don't think it works, let's find another way? ”

"Why not?" Joseph said, "I think that's a good idea." But what are you pulling Fanny in? Let her go, you will come to me as a secretary? Besides, Fanny isn't the material for such a troublesome thing at all, can't she just let Polina go by herself? Anyway, she was a troublemaker! just let her play in her true colors. Of course, this matter must be agreed by Polina herself. She must be voluntary...... Well, which of you is going to talk to her about this? ”

Napoleon immediately turned his attention to Lucien.

"What do you see me doing?" Lucien said. Of course, he knew that it would not be difficult to get the female troublemaker to agree to do this. But if it's your own. In the future, in case that woman gets into trouble and something goes wrong, and her mother asks, judging from the consistent eccentricity of these two brothers, mostly, no, not mostly, but definitely will throw all the pots on their heads.

"After all, you often take Polina around to play. Even mom knows you're good with Polina. Napoleon said with a hint of menace.

"Okay, okay." Lucien raised his hand in surrender, "However, when the time comes, Mom will know, don't ...... it"

"If Mom knows, it must be because you're too incompetent, Lucien." Napoleon said.
