J.P. Morgan's wife, Mimi, has pneumonia, which is not incurable since sulfonamides, but another staple drug of McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical has taken Mimi, which is heroin. At first, Mrs. Morgan only went out with Morgan to have a little cold and a small cough. Due to the influence of the McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company, at that time, as long as Americans had a little cough, their first reaction was to take two tablets of heroin first, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one. Heroin is absolutely effective in suppressing coughs.

However, heroin is definitely the most classic "palliative, not curative" Western medicine, which is effective in calming cough, but it is useless in reducing inflammation or anything. Instead, the result is a masking of symptoms. As a result, the disease progressed further, and at this time, Morgan was busy with business, and Mrs. Morgan did not want to interfere with his work, so she took a few more pills of heroin. So the disease continued. Until she suddenly collapsed.

At this time, the condition was already quite serious, and at this time, the doctors began to give her sulfonamide, but the effect of sulfonamide on inflammation was far less good than that of penicillin later. As a result, Mimi's condition has not improved. But fortunately, Menger and Dr. Heim were experienced and decisively used a large amount of medicine, and finally controlled the condition and saved Mimi, who was struggling on the line of death. Morgan let out a long sigh. Little did he know, however, that this was just the beginning of another big trouble.

……

After three months of training, General McClellan finally got the cannon he requested. President Lincoln thought he was going to attack, but General McClellan postponed the attack by more than a month, citing the need to train the gunners.

It wasn't until March '62 that General McClellan finally felt that his preparations had been distracted, and President Lincoln's long-awaited attack finally began.

General McClellan's preparation of fire on Confederate positions was probably the most intense ever. According to his orders, the soldiers had already dug the trenches about 6oo meters from the Confederate position, and now, under the order of General McClellan, the soldiers began to dig in the direction of the enemy. In order to avoid the killing of the artillery of the Southern Army, these trenches did not advance in a straight line, but adopted a polygonal line. In this way, the time required for excavation is greatly extended. In order to catch up with the schedule, the sappers were ordered to dig in overnight. General McClellan estimated that in about a day's time, his men would be able to advance the trenches to about forty meters from the enemy, at which point he would switch to the attacking force and launch an overwhelming attack on the South.

Such a large-scale, and time-consuming operation, of course, could not be concealed from the Southern Army. However, General McClellan did not expect to be able to hide from the Confederate army, and after a long period of training and preparation, General McClellan believed that his army should already have the ability to tear apart the Confederate defense line with absolute strength.

Taking advantage of the night, the Southern Army launched a small-scale counterattack. Some Confederate soldiers quietly approached the advancing Northern Army, and threw the Confederate version of a grenade at them.

This Southern version of the grenade is quite shoddy and mediocre in power. But the sudden blow still confused the sappers of the Northern Army who were concentrating on digging the ground. In the confusion, the soldiers fired indiscriminately, and in order to prevent the Southern Army from taking advantage of the chaos to enter the defensive positions of the Northern Army, General McClellan ordered to shoot at a target that approached the position. After a night of tumult, as soon as the losses were counted, more than 100 people were killed and more than 200 wounded. The losses of the Southern Army were minimal, at least, there were not many corpses of the Southern soldiers on the battlefield.

After this night attack, General McClellan reported to President Lincoln that he had repelled the Confederate adventurous attack and dealt a great blow to the Confederate army. A preliminary victory was achieved. Well, of course, due to some accidents in the battle, he asked to push the attack back a little longer.

General McClellan said that the main reasons for such a request are as follows: First, it is too dangerous to excavate at night, so this kind of thing can only be done during the day in the future. This time it took more than half a day; Second, in the previous battles, he captured some new weapons of the Southern Army, all of which were botched imitations of the new weapons newly equipped by the Northern Army. This shows that there may be spies in the southern county of Zài within the Northern Army. So, he thought, it would be better to take a break for now, so that he would have time to catch the spy.

Such a ridiculous request was naturally rejected by Lincoln in anger. However, General McClellan managed to delay the start of the attack by another day.

And just like that, another day passed, and General McClellan finally got up with his overwhelming attack.

The "Blackwater" division, as an assault arrow, has already entered the assault position. According to the plan, the federal army first carried out a long period of shelling and suppression. Then the soldiers threw grenades at the enemy trenches.

With the explosion of grenades, Blackwater's spikes leaped out of the trenches, scattered in a straggler formation, and quickly rushed to the enemy's barbed wire, and then shoved a blaster under the barbed wire......

"Colonel Robson, do you think there's something strange about the rebels?" General Gardner lowered his binoculars and asked Robson, who was standing nearby.

"It's kind of weird. You see, the enemy didn't shoot back at all. Even if the enemy in the first trench is suppressed by grenades, the enemy troops in the second and third trenches should shoot. In addition, the rebel artillery did not fire all the time, which is not normal. Robson said the same.

However, on the battlefield now, the attack of the federal army is still very smooth. They quickly blasted the barbed wire with a blaster, and then used the blaster to blast a trail through the minefield behind the barbed wire. Then, the soldiers with shotguns jumped into the enemy trenches......

Bob was now a company commander, and he took his company into the Confederate trenches, and then they were now without a single enemy in the trenches.

"Damn it! The Southerners are all gone! Bob yelled, "Carl, go back and report to Colonel Robson." Reed, you take a few people and go down the traffic trench to the second trench. Well, be careful, if something goes wrong, return it immediately! ”

"Okay, company commander!" Sergeant Reed immediately called his combat group and ran along a communication trench towards the second line of Confederate trenches. A moment later, there was an explosion ahead. After a few moments, Reed and several soldiers dragged a soldier back, shouting "Medic!" Check it out! ”

"What's going on?" Bob asked.

"Damn the Southerners planted mines in the traffic trenches!" Sergeant Reed replied.

……

"Not a single rebel in the position?" General McClellan furrowed, "So, what about the cannons?" ”

"It's all fake, General, the troops of the Blackwater Division first broke into the enemy's so-called artillery positions, and now the cannons are all made of wood, just a little paint. In addition, there were no mines in the minefields behind the enemy's barbed wire, but some mines were planted in the enemy's trenches and artillery positions. A staff officer replied. Judging by these arrangements, the rebels should have been retreating for a long time.

"Send out cavalry and expand the reconnaissance area." General McClellan thought for a moment and said, "To the Washington newspaper and tell President Lincoln that our army has conquered the enemy position, and the enemy has broken and fled. Our army won a great victory. But our army consumes a lot of ammunition and urgently needs to replenish it. ”

General McClellan waited another day in the enemy positions he had "captured" for President Lincoln's commendation and orders to urge him to march. So he again led his army of more than 100,000 men and cautiously advanced towards Richmond.

……

"The news of this victory could not have come at a better time." J.P. Morgan feels that his luck has been so good these days. Treasury bonds are selling well, and with the news of this big victory, there is no problem at all in selling $300 million of government bonds. His wife's illness is basically cured, and there is only a little problem left. According to Dr. Menger, it was because of the serious illness that there was a little psychological disorder. A kind of depression or something. She would be in poor spirits and would yawn incessantly and shed tears. However, Dr. Menger said that it doesn't matter, just adjust it well. Of course, he was also very strong, because Mrs. Morgan's lung function was not good and it was easy to become inflamed, and heroin was very easy to mask the symptoms in this regard, leading to the deterioration of the condition, and also interfering with the doctor's diagnosis. Moreover, any drug will cause interference to the human body, and Mrs. Morgan's constitution is too poor to use drugs indiscriminately. So don't give her heroin or something else when she feels uncomfortable in the future. After all, that thing only relieves the symptoms, and does not fundamentally solve the problem. Now Jp Morgan has asked his family doctor to put away all the heroin, and he will never give her any drugs without Dr. Menger's consent during Mimi's recovery.

……

"Dr. Menger, are you saying that Mrs. Morgan is showing signs of heroin addiction?" Scrooge asked a little nervously.

"Yes, Mr. MacDonald." Dr. Menger replied, "She was already showing the first signs of yawning and tearing. But it's not too strict. It's almost enough to stop taking the drug for a month or two, after all, her dosage is not so exaggerated. ”

"In addition, we can provide her with a little bit of specially made heroin tablets that reduce the active ingredient. Or even directly a placebo. Dr. Heim said, "We told Mr. SùJp Morgan that his wife was in poor health and would have a period of recovery that lasted several months. This time was enough for her to get rid of her dependence on heroin. ”

"Good, you're doing a great job. I'll give you a raise. "In any case, Mr. Morgan can't be allowed to show his wife's problem now is heroin addiction." In addition, it is important to keep a good record of the experience gained during the withdrawal process, which will be useful in the future. ”
