"They agree with us that the rotten leg patients we see are the victims of anthrax and melioidosis that were dropped here 60 years ago during the bacteriological warfare carried out by the Japanese army. In this way, the anthrax and melioidosis attacks carried out by the bacteriological warfare of the invading army have finally become an ironclad historical fact through the efforts of many people. ”

With the fragments of memories, the beautiful figure in Yang Shuoming's mind suddenly became blurred.

"Her death was just an accident......

"She committed suicide and has nothing to do with anyone else......"

"The family has agreed that the body will be cremated immediately......"

"The compensation of 1.2 million yuan to the family is not too small...... She may not be able to make so much money for her parents in her lifetime, haha! ……”

"Tell you what! She didn't die because of this! It was she who revealed the land acquisition here, and this is the real cause of her death! ”

"This is a two-pronged thing, think about it, the township axe got compensation, and maybe my own money, the developer got the land, and I destroyed the evidence, so her death is inevitable......"

Yang Shuoming held his head in his hands and lay on the table, tears streaming down his face.

All he could do then was pick up his sword.

Then, it's time to flee.

The point of no return.

Although he relied on his excellent skills to break through in the reinforced concrete jungle many times, he knew that he could not go on like this forever.

He had no choice.

But what he didn't expect was that in this way, he would come to the most chaotic era in Chinese history depicted in textbooks.

"What's wrong with you?" A gentle woman's voice sounded in the doorway.

"Nothing." Yang Shuoming heard who was coming, raised his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice.

Fu Zhuoyao looked at Yang Shuoming's movements in surprise, his eyes widened, and he didn't understand what sad past he remembered.

It was the first time she had seen him in such a gaffe since she had known him.

"What do you think of again?" Fu Zhuoyao put down the fruit brought to him and asked a little uneasily.

"I remembered an old friend who was no longer alive," Yang Shuoming's face instantly returned to calm, he looked at her sitting beside him, and replied, "She has been dead for a long time. ”

"Oh." She regretted that she had asked such a question, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

"I'm thinking about how to get revenge on her." Yang Shuoming's eyes instantly flashed with unspeakable murderous intent, which startled her when she accidentally saw it.

"I just heard Miss Liu and a medical officer talking about anthrax, do you know what it is?" Fu Zhuoyao wanted to divert his attention with other topics, so he asked what he heard from Liu Xiangyun when he went to get the medicine just now.

"The name 'anthrax' is a black scab from anthrax of the skin. The route of infection is that the skin and mucous membranes of human beings are damaged, and they come into contact with the fur of sick and dead animals, contaminating the items of Bacillus anthracis, and the secretions and excretions of patients; The skin of the exposed parts of the face, neck, shoulders, limbs and other exposed parts is invaded by germs, and the skin bleeding is infiltrated, necrosis, edema, ulcers, and a typical black scab is formed later, and the skin anthrax can be recovered after treatment; Pulmonary anthrax is spread by inhaling dust from the bacillus anthracis. Pulmonary anthrax has an acute onset of chills, high fever, cough, hemoptysis and sputum, often accompanied by sepsis; Eating undercooked meat contaminated with Bacillus anthracis and drinking contaminated milk and water will cause intestinal anthrax. Intestinal anthrax presents like acute gastroenteritis or acute abdomen. ”

"Anthrax is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis (not a virus) and is contracted by contact with sick animals and their products and from the consumption of meat from sick animals. Clinically, it mainly manifests as skin necrosis, ulcers, eschar and extensive edema and toxemia of surrounding tissues, and occasionally can lead to acute infection of the lungs, intestines and meninges, and can be accompanied by sepsis. This bacterium can be found in a variety of ruminants such as cattle, sheep, camels, and antelopes. Bacillus anthracis is characterized by the formation of spore structures, and this protective sporangia allows the bacterium to survive in nature for a long time. Anthrax is a disease of herbivores, and the bacteria that causes it is Bacillus anthracis, which is found in the soil. Herbivores such as cattle and sheep eat with their mouths and noses close to the ground and are often uprooted. In this way, it is easy to inhale the spores of bacteria in the soil into the respiratory tract, causing infection of the whole body. For herbivores, the disease is often fatal. Not only can domestic animals such as cattle and sheep be infected with this disease, but it is also a terrible disaster for many wild animals. Anthrax is not as dangerous to humans as it is to herbivores, but it can also cause serious illness. People do not eat grass and rarely keep their mouths and noses close to the ground, so they are mainly infected with anthrax through contact with animals or eating animal meat. ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming say in such detail about this strange disease that she had never heard of, Fu Zhuoyao couldn't help but admire his erudition from the bottom of her heart.

"Anthrax is transmitted through three main routes: skin-to-skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Cutaneous anthrax is the most common form of this bacterial infection and is much less dangerous than inhaled anthrax; People who come into regular contact with livestock, such as herders, veterinarians, and fur processing workers, often develop cutaneous anthrax. It was a non-painful ulcer, but it was very difficult to heal. If you eat the meat of an anthrax-stricken livestock (Bacillus anthracis cannot be killed by cooking), you will develop intestinal anthrax, which is much more severe. And, regardless of the type of anthrax, if not properly treated, it can develop sepsis anthrax or pulmonary anthrax, which can easily cause death and can spread from person to person. ”

"It's a terrible disease, isn't it?" Fu Zhuoyao remembered the experience of almost dying of illness that time, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"Yes, after being infected with the anthrax virus, the incubation phase can last for hours or even dozens of days, and respiratory anthrax infection is very dangerous if it is not treated during the incubation period, and the symptoms are mainly flu symptoms, such as persistent high fever, constant cough, weakness, chest pain, etc. Soon after, the virus will attack, the lung function will be disrupted, the oxygen will be severely deprived, the patient may suddenly go into shock, and the brain may also be infected with the virus, and eventually die. The incidence of anthrax is mainly in pastoral areas, and is more common among farmers and herdsmen, slaughterers, fur processing, veterinarians and laboratory personnel. "This is a terrible disease that spreads very quickly, and the death and disability rate is also very high, which can be said to be more powerful than guns." ”

After listening to Yang Shuoming's explanation, Fu Zhuoyao nodded again and again, but at this time, she didn't expect that this terrible germ had been used as a secret weapon on the battlefield.

"What? Have we found someone with this disease here? Yang Shuoming asked.

"No, no, I just heard Miss Liu and Doctor Lin talking about it, so I asked casually." Fu Zhuoyao waved his hand and said with a smile.

"By the way, I've already done all that gold thing." Fu Zhuoyao handed a letter to Yang Shuoming, Yang Shuoming nodded, took the letter and put it on the table, but did not open it.

"It was only yesterday that the relevant report came, and I learned that these people had intercepted the gold from their own hands." Yang Shuoming sighed, "I didn't expect that my news was also very smart." ”

"I think that I have suffered so much of our losses this time, and it is very likely that I will choose to collude with Soviet Russia to deal with us, and we should be careful not to let them do this." Fu Zhuoyao reminded him, "You must know that in the face of interests, anything can be given up." ”

Listening to her words, Yang Shuoming couldn't help but smile slightly, he looked into her eyes, she seemed to realize why she came to him, and her face couldn't help but have a fever again.

"I understand that I won't give them a chance to collude." Yang Shuoming replied in a flat but firm voice.

The two chatted for a while, and Fu Zhuoyao saw that there was still a thick stack of documents on his desk, and didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he got up and left.

After sending his "second lady" away, Yang Shuoming opened the drawer, took out a report, and read it carefully.

The report, which was sent yesterday, contains details about the surprise attack by the special forces on the garrison and the seizure of the "golden train".

Since there were too many things yesterday, and he already knew the outcome of the matter, he didn't rush to see it. And Fu Zhuoyao's words just now gave him a certain inspiration, so he remembered this report and began to read it.

At this moment, Xi Xue walked in and brought in another thick envelope.

Seeing the Flying Dragon Shield logo printed on the envelope, Yang Shuoming's eyebrows raised, and he took the envelope from Xi Xue's hand, Xi Xue noticed the subtle changes in the expression on his face and the reddened eye circles, and couldn't help but show surprise.

"Is the general uncomfortable? Do you want to call Miss Liu over? Xi Xue asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Yang Shuoming smiled and opened the envelope.

Probably not wanting to know the contents of the documents in the envelope, Xixue silently poured him a cup of hot coffee, put it on his table, and then turned around and went out.

Yang Shuoming didn't seem to notice her leaving, he quickly browsed the top-secret documents in his hand, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself.

"I'm afraid we will have to wait a few days to know the effect of the 'new strain'."

Kulen, General Staff of the Northwest Front of the Chinese Army.

The General Staff Headquarters of the Northwest Front Army was located in a small building built by the Russians, and in a small office of the General Staff, a thin-faced American officer wearing the uniform of a major general of the Chinese Army was writing hard under the lamp.

This beautiful [***] official is George? Cartlett? Marshall.

After the end of World War I, Marshall triumphantly traveled to the United States with General Pershing. Although the officers and men of the US military who returned home victoriously were warmly welcomed by the country, it was limited to "welcome". After the welcome, everything was calm. Marshall was removed from the rank of temporary wartime colonel and remained his captain. Although he remained in service under General Pershing, he was soon promoted to full major. But this promotion did not please him.

Because by now, he has been an officer for 18 years, but he is still only a major.

In 1921, war broke out again between China and Ben. Marshall was extremely angry at the war of aggression against China that he had savagely provoked, and he decided to serve in the squadron to enrich himself, and the result was as he wished, and because of his exploits, he received the rank of major general that he had never imagined given to him by the Chinese political axe.

At this time, Marshall was meticulously writing down his legendary experience in China with his pen.

“…… Admiral Kolchak was accompanied by more than 500,000 troops loyal to the Russian political axe, and they were accompanied by 750,000 exiles who opposed the Bolsheviks and cherished the Tsarist political axe, of whom 270,000 were bishops, monks and nuns; In addition, there were more than 200,000 noble women and their children. And it was these people who carried out an arduous and tragic expedition unprecedented in the history of mankind......"

"And in this vast army of more than 1.2 million people, there is actually a shocking secret - a 500-ton gold nugget worth $500 million at the time......"

"After the outbreak of the revolution in Russia, the original commander of the Black Sea Fleet of Tsarist Russia, Alexander? Kolchak gathered the remnants of the Russian [***] squad to organize an armed force against the Soviet regime, and with the assistance of the British, they formed the Yamako in Omsk. But not long after, in November 1919, Omsk was captured by Soviet troops. In order to preserve his strength, Kolchak decided to lead his men across more than 6,000 kilometers of Siberia and flee to the Pacific coast, where he sought the support of Zhben and fought against the Bolshevik army. And these huge amounts of gold, which were allocated by the tsar to Kolchak's military expenses, were packed in 28 armed escort vehicles. ”

"Anyone who hasn't been to Siberia personally can't imagine the cold. The average winter temperature in Omsk is minus 22°C. An army of 1.25 million embarked on a journey of 6,000 kilometers under the leadership of Kolchak, and minus 20 degrees Celsius is not uncommon for people living in the European part of Russia, but no one expected that the temperature dropped sharply from minus 30 °C to minus 60 °C when the expedition team had just walked for a few days. The small town of Tomsk, more than 1,000 kilometers east of Omsk, was the place where the disaster began, and it was the coldest town on the planet that year. ”

“…… The bitter cold wind roared, and the blizzard swept through people's bodies like saws, bringing unspeakable suffering to the unprecedented mass migration in history. It wasn't long before the endless snowfields of Siberia were covered with frozen people, discarded sleighs, frozen horses, dead bodies and a never-ending snow all around. ”

"For three months, from November 13, 1919 to February of the following year, a human tragedy caused by an unbelievable cold turned into a drama without interruption. The 28 armed escort vehicles loaded with gold nuggets ran out of fuel, and they had no choice but to exchange them for horse-drawn sleighs. However, the extreme cold caused the Siberian stallions to die one by one, and the huge treasures inherited from the Russian Empire's political axes had to be discarded in the boundless wilderness of Siberia. The whereabouts of the 500 tons of gold nuggets are unknown and remain a huge mystery to this day......"

However, the march of suffering did not end there, and the fleeing people were like zombies on the move, with only one pair of feet still moving alternately left and right. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the whole universe seems to be a huge package sealed by snow flakes. At first, the conductor shouted hoarsely, 'No sleep!' It is used to motivate people to move forward. But later, even they themselves were seduced by the god of sleep. ”

"The ranks of the Great Migration are attritioning at an ever-increasing rate every day. The bitter cold of Siberia, which has not been seen in a century, has turned into a cruel suffering, cruelly tormenting people. The snow fell like crazy, and more than 200,000 people froze to death in one night near the city of Nikolaevsk......"

By the end of February 1920, the expedition had dwindled from 1,250,000 men to less than 300,000. After many hardships, these people finally made it from Omsk to the shores of Lake Baikal, 2,000 kilometers away. But the Soviet troops were still chasing them like a scythe of death, and they had to cross Lake Baikal for the sake of their final safety, and in order not to fall into the hands of a ruler whom they would rather die than accept. At this time, the 80-kilometer-wide lake was covered with about 3 meters of ice, and 300,000 people living began to cross the ice. ”

“…… What a sight that is! The ice on the surface of the lake glistens like the floor of a slippery dance floor. The surface of Lake Baikal, which was frozen solidly, was extremely cold. The temperature plummeted to minus 69°C, and the roar of the blizzard seemed to pierce the marrow of the victims. It is useless to wear bearskins and seal skins in such places, and the extreme cold only makes bearskins act like ice masks on their bodies. ”

“…… Thousands more froze to death. A completely unimaginable vision appeared on the frozen Baikal Lake: a general's wife was going to give birth on the ice! But there was no one who could come and help! People walked past her with heavy steps and expressionless faces! The general used his body to block a partition wall, he originally wanted not to let people see his wife when she gave birth, but he really froze motionless like a wall! As a result, the general's wife and the soon-to-be-born child also froze to death! In a few moments, almost all of them froze to death! ”
