Epidemic prevention work, as the name suggests, is still based on prevention, and the specific measures are essentially no different from those of later generations, such as: improving personal hygiene, organizing disinfection, prohibiting drinking raw water, and killing insects......

In addition to these daily epidemic prevention work, there is now another process - the isolation room, which is sent to quarantine once cold symptoms occur to strictly prevent the spread of the virus.

In order to cooperate with the national epidemic prevention work, Ferdinand also ordered the whole country to impose second-level martial law, which is second only to martial law during the war.

If you want to travel across cities, you must report to the local health department, check to make sure that you are in good health before you can pass freely, and stations, ports, schools and other places with high traffic are now full of testing points.

Sergei was born in the small town of Bankya, 17 kilometers west of Sofia, in a small mountain town in the capital city of Sofia, located on the northern slope of Liulin Mountain at an altitude of 630 meters.

Relying on the mountains, Sergei opened a small grocery store in Sofia, started to buy and sell mountain goods, and became a businessman.

Oh, he wasn't much of a bourgeoisie, he was just a self-employed man at best, and the clerks were his wife and three sons and two daughters.

Thanks to the recent good economic development of Bulgaria, his business is also doing well, and after removing all expenses, it can be regarded as a small surplus!

But as soon as the epidemic came, he was in big trouble, and it was no longer possible to go in and out of Sofia every day, for the sake of safety, the government had restricted the flow of people in the city, and now he only had the opportunity to enter and exit freely once a week, which still depends on the particularity of his profession.

If that's just the case, then that's it, his family has a lot of mouths, and he takes turns to send a team, and it doesn't affect anything if he goes into the city to deliver goods every other day!

But the problem is that the epidemic prevention officer considers that wild animals may be carriers of the virus, and then the prey he receives can no longer be sold, of course, even if it can be sold, it can't be sold now!

Although there are a lot of foodies in Bulgaria, everyone is even more desperate, and the government is aggressively engaged in epidemic prevention, who dares to underestimate it?

Sergei looked at the newspaper and complained helplessly: "This has been going on for more than a month, when will the epidemic be the end?" ”

The old hunter Karma jokingly asked, "Sergei's prey today, do you still accept it?" ”

Sergei said angrily: "Take you big-headed ghost!" Didn't you see how hung in our yard? You can't sell it, you don't dare to eat it, it's a pity to lose it! ”

Karma smiled slightly and said, "What's the hurry, wait for the epidemic to pass, and then slowly sell it!" Do you think I don't go hunting as usual? ”

Sergei sneered and said: "You are a person who can't live if you don't use a gun for a day, what does it matter if you can sell your prey or not?" ”

Karmahaha smiled and said: "You still know me, this is a habit of life, and I can't change it anymore, but it's a pity that there are fewer and fewer prey in Liulin Mountain, maybe I will have to move soon!" ”

Sergei was stunned, he and Karma had grown up together, and when he suddenly heard that he was leaving, his heart suddenly became a lot empty.

"Why? Your family is not thin, don't you need to go to your son? Sergey asked in confusion

On the European continent, as long as they can live independently, parents will not go to live with their children, they think that this is a parasitic fence.

Although Karma is a hunter, his main income is still farming, he still has two hectares of land in this town, plus the income from hunting, and his children are all adults, so he does not need to continue to pay expenses, so his small life is not bad.

Kalmar explains: "You know what kind of life I like, it's so draining to be in Sofia! ”

Sergei looked at him dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time. After a pause, he said, "Are you crazy?" The army doesn't want you, an old immortal, do you want to be a mercenary? ”

Karma shook his head and said, "No, I'm not crazy, I'm actually going to be a colonial sheriff, you know how short there are people over there, as long as you are willing to sign up, they will accept it!" Besides, I'm still a retired officer, and I can be an officer in the past! ”

Sergei knew that Karma was not lying, and now the colonies on the African side were indeed recruiting, and they had reached the point of starvation.

Karma's actual age was only in his forties, but the average life expectancy at that time was too short to be regarded as an old man, but in terms of physical fitness they were not much worse than young people.

Sergei asked in surprise: "There is such a good thing, you were an officer as soon as you passed?" Don't forget that although you are a retired officer, you are only a retired officer in the reserves, and you are still an unlucky bastard who has just entered the battlefield and the war is over! ”

Karma's face turned red, this retired officer was putting gold on his face, although he had participated in the Balkan War and the World War, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to play, he was just mobilized to take up arms and rush to the front, and then the war was over.

Although he is a veteran, he has never killed an enemy, and he has not even had the opportunity to exchange fire with the enemy, and his military status is only a reserve, and he has become a squad leader by virtue of his seniority.

His identity as an officer is estimated to be recognized by no one anywhere, and if he wants to be recognized by everyone, he is at least one battle feat!

This is also the rule of Bulgaria, everything is on par with the merits of war, if you are lucky, even if you are just a civilian who transports supplies, and kills a few enemies, you can also gain everyone's respect, anyway, even if it is a regular army, as long as there is no merit, it will be inferior!

Recruiting retired officers and soldiers to serve in the colony was also Ferdinand's plan, which on the one hand could strengthen the management of the colony and on the other hand, eliminate the factors of instability.

Many of the people who have just come down from the battlefield have mental illnesses that will not be able to recover for a while, and there are not enough psychiatrists in Bulgaria to treat them psychologically.

Many people will feel unbalanced when they see others making meritorious contributions and being knighted, and they will think that they are no worse than others, but they just lack an opportunity!

For the sake of this opportunity, it is estimated that many people will do things, and even artificially create conflicts with neighboring countries, deliberately triggering wars!

It's different when you go to the colony, if you want to start a war, then fight! Anyway, the enemy is the tribal chief, no matter how much trouble Bulgaria has, it can be contained, there is no such thing as having fun, and it can't be contained!

By the time they were done, the colony was almost cleaned up, killing two birds with one stone, and Kalmar was the beneficiary of this policy!

Karma said hesitantly: "That's different, this time I'm going with someone, as long as I get together twenty young men, I'll be the squadron leader!" ”

Sergei nodded, this is about the same, everyone in Africa is not familiar with the place, and there are few acquaintances around, how can you get used to it?

Ferdinand was not stupid, of course he knew that in an unfamiliar environment, huddles were the easiest way to live, so most of the basic personnel were to put their local neighbors together, and everyone could take care of each other.

The most important thing is to reduce the mortality rate, and the biggest enemy of the development of the African continent is not the indigenous people, but - the water and soil adaptation!

As for whether there will be a land snake in the future, Ferdinand said that he doesn't care, anyway, there are not many people on the African continent now, and it will be the year of the monkey when it is developed, even if there is a land snake government, it can be slowly split, anyway, a small group of 180 people cannot threaten the rule of the government!

After a pause, Karma said with some embarrassment: "That Sergei told you good news, your boy, I also took two, don't worry that the boss will keep it for you, he also wanted to go, but I persuaded him!"

We're not old friends anymore, I'll take care of them for you, and we'll all be reunited in Africa when the time comes! ”

Sergei's face suddenly became gloomy, if his gaze could kill, now Karma was already in pieces.

"What? Karma, how can you do that? Have you asked my opinion? Sergei said angrily

Karma said without changing his face, "Isn't that telling you?" Besides, they're all adults, it's time to let them out and create them!

If it weren't for this outbreak, we would have all arrived in Africa by now, and if you're not at ease, you can choose to come with us! ”

Sergei forcibly suppressed his anger, his heart was dripping blood, but fortunately he was an ordinary small businessman, always timid and afraid, otherwise he might have to have a duel with Karma now.

As for going to Africa for development, it is not suitable for people like him who have no ambitions, according to his plan, which is to keep a few sons by his side to help with business.

Anyway, with their backs to Sofia, they dumped some mountain goods and daily necessities, and this profit was enough for them to support their families.

Obviously, his ideas are not equal to the thoughts of his sons, the Jingo Iron Horse is the mainstream of Bulgarian society, and the young man who is not warlike is definitely not a pure Bulgarian!

Sergei smiled bitterly and said: "Why go to Africa, can't you go to the peninsula of Asia Minor?" It's closer, and it's much better!

It doesn't matter if you're old and immortal, but what about the kids? Can't you take them on an adventure, don't you want them to never go home once in their lives? ”

Karma's face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "This question is not for me to decide, and besides, where to go, not to go!"

What's so bad about going to Africa, the conditions over there are poor, but it's also good to make meritorious contributions! It's safer to encircle and suppress the natives in the mountains than to fight, right?

In fact, we were the first to sign up for the Arabian Peninsula, and we went there to do a guy named Najd, but unfortunately we were preempted by the regular army, and our mission was only to deal with the trash fish!

You know I'm a hunter, it's not my fault, my ancestors were hunters, and I've been a hunter for over 20 years, so they all agreed that I was fit to go to Africa to catch orangutans! ”

Karma was also very aggrieved, just because he was a hunter, so the group he brought with him was determined to go to the African jungle.

Judging from the situation that it is easy to make war exploits, the Arabian Peninsula is the best choice, and it is about to start against the indigenous kingdom, and it is promising to fight a kingdom with a population of two or three million, no matter how you look at it, it will deal with a group of tribal chiefs!

Sergei nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, if you're done, now you can get out of here, don't affect my business!" ”

Obviously, he was still very angry, but as a father he could not interfere with the choices of his sons, which is also a European tradition.

According to European tradition, the eldest son stays behind to inherit the family business, and the second son leaves home to explore the world, and Karma does not kidnap his eldest son, but takes his second son out to earn a living, which is in line with local tradition. So despite being angry, Sergey did not break out.

Now that the two younger sons have started a family, even if they don't leave now, they will still have to leave home in a few years, and if they stay at home and live with their parents and brothers, they will be looked down upon.

Maybe that's the real reason why they're willing to go out on adventures with Karma and explore Africa!

Sergei had realized that his previous plan was not in order, and he hastily closed the business, closed the door of the grocery store, and returned home, where he had to ask his two sons for their opinions again.

If he just wanted to go out, he still hoped that they could stay in Sofia. It is close to home and the capital, and all the conditions are very good, and it is relatively easy to find a job.

What the African continent looks like, Sergei does not know, and it will not seem to him to be a good place anyway. Of course, judging from the government's propaganda, it is still a fertile soil, but it has not had time to develop!

Sergei asked, "Have you two decided on Raul and Caton?" Are you really going to go to the African colonies with Karma, the environment there is pretty bad, are you ready? ”

Raul replied, "Dear Father, we are ready! You know, it's our dream, and we don't want to live under your wing all the time! ”

Sergey lit a cigarette, smoked it, and did not speak for a long time.

"Well, do your wives agree? Now that you're married, you can't just do it on your own terms! Sergei said earnestly

Caton next to him replied first: "Father, don't worry, we have grown up and know what we are doing, we will go to Africa together, and the colonial government will help arrange work!"

And hospitals and schools will be built at the same time, so you don't have to worry about our life! ”

Sergei nodded, the government's determination to develop the colony is unshakable, according to the data released by the government, 800,000 people will be emigrated to Africa within five years, and the necessities of hospitals and schools are naturally indispensable.

Sergei looked forward and said: "Well, now that you are ready, go and tell your mother, I think now she needs comfort!"

Of course, it would be better if you could change your mind, and I would still recommend that you stay in Sofia, because the days of the Great Wilderness will not be so easy! ”
