Chapter 432: The First Step in Curing the Plague (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

Ma Zheng stared at Wang Jitang and looked at it carefully, wanting to see how much of what he said was true, for a person who can do things for a little devil and has a traitorous brother-in-law, Ma Zheng is really hard to believe him.

But after looking at it for a few seconds, Ma Zheng didn't see anything, the look on this person's face was not shocked, and he had a feeling of being a master outside the world.

After a long time, Ma Zheng asked again, "Why do you want to help us?" ”

"Because I am also Chinese, I have been dealing with Japanese people for some years, I have been to Japan since the ninth year of Guangxu, and I have been there for a while, and I know what Japanese people are. It's a bunch of wolf cubs that can't be fed, don't look at me if I'm in contact with them, but they won't let me go if necessary. ”

Then Wang Jitang continued: "This is just one of them, the second is that I don't want to be pointed at my nose and scolded as a traitor for a lifetime, it is a helpless move to do things for the Japanese, I have never done anything that hurts nature and reason, and I have not oppressed and bullied the people, is it because I have treated the injuries of Japanese soldiers that I have become a traitor?" ”

"Third, this plague appeared too quickly, and it was too weird, and I don't know the deep things about politics and military, but I am a doctor, and I know best about healing diseases and wounds. Judging from the speed of this plague outbreak, this must be a fierce plague, if there is no complete and effective response plan in a short period of time, it will not be long before this place will become a dead city, and even expand to the entire North China region, and then it will inevitably be devastated. Not only do those ordinary people have to die, but it is impossible for us not to be affected, so helping others is helping ourselves. ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "I heard Senior Yang say that you have experience in treating plagues?" ”

"Well, our Wang family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and my ancestors have always been very famous doctors in the north, and they once served as imperial doctors in the Qing court. During this period, my family's ancestors dealt with the plague a lot, so they still have a lot of experience with the plague. In addition, in my generation, I saw the uniqueness of Western medicine, so I studied in Japan, and it is not a boast to say that I have learned Chinese and Western medicine, and I also dealt with the Harbin plague in the second year of Xuantong, which can be regarded as experienced. Wang Jitang replied.

"In this way, Wang Lao should be very sure of the crisis in Zhangjiakou in front of him?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"I dare not say that no one dares to say that they will be able to cure the infectious disease of the plague, but if I take action, I can control the speed and scope of its infection, at least it will not affect areas outside Zhangjiakou. Of course, the premise is that there is no epidemic in other cities now! "I say it again today.

Ma Zheng sighed and said: "It's not a secret, now in addition to Zhangjiakou, a similar phenomenon has also occurred in Fengzhen County and Xinghe County, but fortunately, the troops responded in time, and now the epidemic has not spread." However, if the epidemic cannot be effectively controlled in a short period of time, the spread of the plague is inevitable, and at that time, the Jinchaji, Suire, and even the Pingjin area may also be affected. ”

"It's so serious, I thought it was only in Zhangjiakou, but it had spread to Fengzhen, Xinghe, and the first line?" Wang Jitang said a little surprised.

"In fact, all this is done by the Japanese, not long ago, our army exchanged a batch of prisoners with the Japanese army, and when these prisoners returned to our army's defense area, the plague broke out, so we have reason to believe that the Japanese deliberately created this plague." Ma Zheng said.

"What, a man-made plague?" Wang Jitang was even more surprised!

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "Elder Wang may not know that there is a tactic called bacteriological warfare in modern warfare. This is the most brutal tactic ever known, because if it gets out of control, the death toll will be astronomical. In this great war between us and Japan, in order to win this war, the Japanese, who exterminated humanity, did whatever it took to study bacteriological weapons, completely ignoring human nature, not only using living people for experiments, treating the captured Chinese soldiers and civilians as guinea pigs, and even using bacteria on a large scale in the war, the most typical case is that the Japanese army often used poison gas bombs against our army. ”

"These brutes are simply inferior to pigs and dogs!" Wang Jitang said angrily.

"Elder Wang, it's useless to be angry, the most important thing now is to quickly formulate a plan to control the speed and scope of the spread of the plague, and then find an effective treatment!" Ma Zheng said.

Wang Jitang nodded and said, "Chief Ma, in fact, the most effective way to treat the plague is to prevent it, but now that the plague has happened, it is useless to say this." Now that the plague has struck, we need to deal with this matter in three steps. First of all, we need to determine what kind of plague it is, how contagious it is, and whether the entire area needs to be quarantined. ”

"If it's just a small-scale plague that isn't very contagious, you can isolate the patient on a small scale, but if it's a plague with a high degree of contagion, then you have to isolate it in all directions. The most important thing is to control rail and road traffic to prevent the spread of the plague. At the same time, the quarantine of the epidemic area is like the measure implemented by your army in Zhangjiakou to only allow entry and not exit, which is the most effective measure to prevent the spread of the plague. ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said: "The traffic blockade has been implemented, and Zhangjiakou, Fengzhen, and Xinghe are only allowed to enter and exit, and all contact with the outside world in Zhangjiakou has been temporarily suspended. As for the quarantine area, it has also been implemented, but without the guidance of professional personnel, it may not be very standardized! ”

"Well, these must be regulated, once the people carrying the plague virus are allowed to flow to other places, then the problem will be serious, and it will not be easy to control it."

"We also understand this, so all the troops are patrolling the city with loaded guns to prevent the panicked people from doing something irrational." Ma Zheng replied.

"At the same time as traffic control, the first step to do is to recruit doctors, nurses and other medical staff, preferably professional doctors. After all, once the plague breaks out, its spread will not be too small, and it is difficult to effectively treat and control it without enough doctors and nurses. ”

"Don't worry, I've transferred all the medical staff in the military district, even my wife. At present, there are as many as 700 doctors and nurses in Zhangjiakou City, and medical personnel from other units of the Eighth Route Army are also rushing here in a steady stream, which should be able to meet the needs. Ma Zheng said.

"That's the best, the first step is basically just here, and of course, don't forget to stock up on medicines. Now that the plague is together, the medicine required must be astronomical, and the merchants like to sit on the ground at this time, and the price must be strictly controlled! Wang Jitang said again.

"This has been explained, and all pharmacies have been temporarily included in the scope of military control, and price increases are prohibited." Ma Zheng replied.

"In fact, the first step is to do one thing, and that is to encircle the plague, whether it is to isolate people or cut off external contacts, which is fundamentally the purpose. Only by enclosing the plague can we carry out the work of the second step of treatment, otherwise we will cure one person on our side, and ten more people will be infected with the disease, so that even if we have a lifetime, we will not want to solve the plague, and it will soon get out of control. Wang Jitang said in a deep voice.

"I also understand this, in our military terminology, it is called closing the door and beating the dog, if the door is not closed tightly, the dog will run out. What are you talking about beating dogs when the dogs are all gone? Ma Zheng said with a smile.

Although this analogy of Chief Ma is not very appropriate, it is generally meant to be this. Our doctors' way of treating diseases is to peel off the cocoon, rather than trying to cure the disease. The illness is like a mountain, and it is unlikely that you want to relieve the pain all at once. Especially for a virulent infectious disease like the plague, the first priority is to control the scope first, and as long as the scope is controlled, then the next treatment can be carried out! Wang Jitang said. (To be continued.) )
