192 Panic mongering
Huang Mingtao asked, "What kind of trick?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "Many of the advances and changes in human history have occurred after the catastrophe, so this primary biological attack is not an opportunity. ”
At this moment, a soldier came to Huang Mingtao and said, "Doctor Huang, there is a patient in isolation who has fever symptoms, please go and see it." ”
Huang Mingtao hurriedly got up and left, Lin Yuan was the only one left in the conference room, the Japanese army's biological weapon attack reminded Lin Yuan of one thing, it is spring, it is the time when all kinds of diseases are epidemic, and the health situation of the Qing army is really worrying.
Not only the Qing army, but also the whole country is extremely poor in terms of sanitation, take the heart of the Qing Empire - Beijing as an example, because there is no modern kind of asphalt concrete as the raw material to build the road, so it is often windy and muddy, and Beijing does not have a modern underground drainage system, and the garbage disposal system is not perfect, so many places in the capital are full of dirty water and feces and urine. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "You can use this biological attack to initially improve these conditions. ”
Lin Yuan thought about it, and couldn't help but go outside, and suddenly saw five Qing soldiers, sitting together, not knowing what Lu Dao was doing.
The elite generals have been sent to the front line, so the rest of the soldiers in Panjin City are some young recruits, these five soldiers are not very old, Lin Yuan saw that they were all less than twenty years old, they were all around, laughing from time to time.
Lin Yuan was also curious, so he secretly went over, wanting to know what they were doing, he hid behind the tent, poked his head out to look at them, and the leader was the first to say: "I'll come first, I'll come first, and if you lose, you have to ask for wine!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the corner of his clothes, looked at them, and after a while, he put down the corners of his clothes and smiled at the next one: "It's your turn!" ”
Seeing that they picked up the corners of their clothes one after another, and then put them down, laughing loudly from time to time, Lin Yuan couldn't see what they were doing clearly, and couldn't help but be curious anymore, walked up to them, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as the five soldiers saw Lin Yuan, they immediately stood up, and the one at the head said, "Marshal Qiyu, we are not lazy, we have just come back from a change of guard." ”
Lin Yuan looked at the panicked looks of several recruits, couldn't help but smile, and said, "You don't have to worry, I'm not here to blame you, I just want to know what you're doing?" ”
Seeing Lin Yuan's smile on his face, the leader also relieved his heart and said, "Qi Lin Shuai, we are competing." ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Competition?" Than what? ”
The leader smiled: "Let your subordinates show Lin Shuai." Saying that, he picked up the corner of his clothes and found them in the seams of his clothes, Lin Yuan saw that the seams of his clothes were full of small white pieces, and he knew that it was the eggs under the lice, and after a while, he found a fat black lice, put it on the nail of his thumb, and squeezed the two nails, only to hear the sound of "quack", the lice was squeezed flat, and a lot of blood came out of the body, sticking to the nails.
The leader smiled: "Lin Shuai, we are catching lice, and then squeeze it flat, see who squeezes it loudly." ”
Another soldier smiled and said: "Lin Shuai, we are not only better than this, but also have other things, such as catching fleas in a certain period of time, that thing runs fast, it is not easy to catch, whoever catches more will win." ”
After Lin Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Okay, okay, I know the way, you can continue to play, I'll go around somewhere else." ”
After Lin Yuan walked away, he couldn't laugh, many Qing soldiers don't wash their military uniforms once a year, they don't wash their clothes, and they don't wash their baths, especially the Qing soldiers have long hair, lice are hidden in their hair, in the seams of their clothes, and of course, there are fleas, this kind of parasite also has a lot in animals, especially mice.
The ancestors of these soldiers came with lice and fleas, and they have long been accustomed to this, but in Lin Yuan's opinion, those parasites are the embodiment of death! Because they are the spreaders of a large number of infectious diseases, plague, hemorrhagic fever, typhus, behind every name, millions or even tens of millions of lives!
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It is not difficult to solve the problem of lice, as long as the clothes are scalded several times with boiling water, the eggs and lice of lice can be killed; It's easy on the body, just take a few showers. "But here's the problem, the vast majority of Qing soldiers only have one winter clothes, in this era, because the yield of cotton is not high, so cotton clothes are also a scarce thing.
If you don't change the clothes of the soldiers, it is useless to take more baths, but where can you get thousands of cotton clothes?
This problem has not been solved, and another, even more intractable problem has emerged, and the difficulties of the army are difficult to solve, so what about this country, isn't it even more difficult?
Lin Yuan pondered silently for a while, took out the communicator, and found Shen Wanqing in the newspaper, and at the beginning of the call, Shen Wanqing asked worriedly: "I heard that there is a plague epidemic over there, are you okay?" ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "I don't have anything to do, I need your newspaper to publish a few reports." ”
Shen Wanqing heard that Lin Yuan had nothing to do, so she relieved herself and said, "It's good, you say, what kind of report do you send?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "I want you to send a report like this, saying that the epidemic here is very serious, and many people have died, and then accompanied by two photos of many dead people, and saying that the epidemic has a tendency to spread to the capital, this is the first day of the report." ”
Shen Wanqing asked blankly: "Doesn't this report cause panic?" Besides, isn't the epidemic all under control? ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "My purpose will be explained to you later, and then the next day, you will send another report, saying that I have found a way to cure the plague, I hope you don't panic, in this newspaper, you write an interview with me, in the interview must mention: This plague is spread by rats, fleas, lice and other parasites, and then you introduce some ways to get rid of them." ”
Shen Wanqing said: "Do you want everyone to pay attention to hygiene? I'm afraid this won't work, you also know that there are many poor people, they often only have one cotton coat in the whole family, so their clothes can't be changed. ”
Lin Yuan said: "In China in this era, the richest class certainly does not have these problems, and the next layer, they can do it to eliminate parasites, but their concept can't be changed, isn't there an old saying in China, don't bite if there are more lice, don't worry if you have more debts, they don't know that these parasites can spread diseases, so although they can do it, they won't do it, so as soon as your article goes out, it will force these people to change their concepts." ”
Shen Wanqing asked, "What about the poorest people?" ”
Lin Yuan laughed twice and said, "This is exactly the viciousness of my plan, do you remember that mountain?" ”
Shen Wanqing said: "It's just him, we found out that he is actually a Japanese spy!" ”
Lin Yuan said: "Didn't he pretend to be a good person? It just so happens that you use public opinion to put pressure on him to donate cotton clothes to those poor people, and it just so happens that our army also needs cotton clothes here, so when the time comes, you will take out a few thousand pieces and send them to us. ”
Shen Wanqing said coquettishly: "It turns out that you are so bad, I will never pay attention to you in the future!" ”
Lin Yuan heard this itch in his heart, and said, "These are not my ultimate goals, do you know what my ultimate goals are?" ”
