At this time, Mr. Reporter, who had been a bystander, spoke, "Sir, what you are saying is impossible. In the Crimean War, it was because of the 'Lady of the Lantern' that the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers in our country dropped from 42% to 2%, and you Chinese are still using witch doctors, but not a single wounded person died, is it that the Virgin Mary is Chinese, right among you? ”

"You're talking about Lady Florence Nightingale, right?" Lü Buwen still has a certain understanding of the term "the-lady-p". Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, while his parents were traveling in Europe. Her name is also taken from her birthplace: Florence. She was famous for her care of injuries and illnesses during the Crimean War, and was known as the "Lady of the Lantern". She was the world's first true female nurse and pioneered a career in nursing, and on 16 March 1908 she was awarded the City of London Freedom Award at the age of 88. “5.12& amp; "International Nurses Day is celebrated on Nightingale's birthday to commemorate the founder of modern nursing." I believe that Ms. Nightingale is a person with a good heart, but she can only provide consideration and care to the wounded, while our medical staff can provide better medical care and care to the wounded, so there are no casualties in our prisoner camps. ”

"I don't believe it!" Baulbet expressed his opinion in just a few simple words.

"The Chinese have a saying, 'Seeing is believing, hearing is false,' and I can take you on a tour of the medical area in the prisoner camp." At stake in his reputation, Luo Xihe had to make a name for himself. At the same time, I secretly hated in my heart: You dead white pig, if you weren't defeated by us, you kid would have waited for the next year to be dismantled! Stretching out his hand, "Everyone, please come here!" ”

All the British, including Pashali, were full of curiosity, and the group was led by the Losi River into the medical quarters of the prisoner camp. It was an area isolated by barbed wire, and although the wards were wood-paneled like the other houses, the living conditions were obviously much better, at least the windows were glassy, and the roof was not straw, but a thin board of unknown material. In the hospital beds covered with white sheets, the wounded were sleeping soundly. Baulbet noticed that the wounded man on the hospital bed near the door had his left leg missing from the knee down, and the severed part was tightly wrapped in gauze, but it was clear from the slight snoring that he was not bothered by the pain. A captured British military doctor was examining the wounded soldiers, and Baulbe asked the military doctor who was concentrating on his work: "Doctor, how are these wounded soldiers?" ”

"It's all good. Thanks to the miraculous anti-inflammatory drug, these wounded soldiers did not develop postoperative infections and complications. The doctor replied as he filled out the ward log, and when he looked up, he realized that there were several more people in the room. You are...... Oh! Mr. Pashali. "The doctor didn't know Baulbe, but he knew the former consul who was standing in the back." What are you doing here? Is it here to negotiate? "This doctor is the ship's doctor of the "Palm" and has been living in the prisoner camp for more than a month. However, he is still very satisfied with his life for more than a month, and he has seen many advanced medical equipment and miraculous drugs, which has benefited him a lot and learned a lot of new medical knowledge. If he hadn't seen Pasha, he would have forgotten the identity of his captive.

"Doctor, how are the wounded soldiers?" Pashali repeated Baulbe's question.

"The wounded are in good condition, Mr. Counsellor." The doctor replied in the affirmative. "The wounded are recovering. The soldier's stomach was cut open by the fragments of the shell, and he needed eleven stitches," he said, pointing to the "centipede" on the stomach of the wounded soldier in front of him, "and in another month he will be able to move like a normal person." ”

"What is this?" Baulbe became interested in the saline that was dripping again.

"It's refilling the salt for the wounded," the doctor began, as he began to tease his newfound medical knowledge, "so that the medicine can be injected directly into the blood vessels for better absorption." ”

Baulbet's journalist soul began to burn. "Doctor, the anti-inflammatory drug you just mentioned......"

"Mr. Reporter," Yang Hualu immediately interrupted their conversation when he saw that the British military doctor was about to talk about an important "secret weapon" of the Liberation Army. Penicillin was definitely a big killer in the 19th century, and it was also the main commodity of the Ministry of Commerce in the future to earn foreign exchange through exports. The 100,000 penicillin injections collected by the Liberation Army from the original time and space achieved remarkable results in the process of giving the wounded of the British army, and was called "China's miracle medicine" by the British. In line with the principle of getting rid of the expiring drugs as soon as possible, the situation of penicillin will eventually be told to the British, but not now. "Let's not disturb the doctor's work!"

Zhang Haotian also took over the conversation, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen the situation in the hospital, and we have provided the best medical treatment for the wounded. Of course, if you are not at ease, we can also return these wounded to you. In this way we can save manpower and medicine to take care of our own wounded, and you can also save a lot of money on medical bills. You must know that some of our special drugs are very expensive! ”

Pa Xiali coughed embarrassedly twice, and changed it to a very polite attitude, "I am deeply grateful for the humanitarian spirit of the Liberation Army to treat the wounded of our army!" He bowed deeply, and after raising his head, he continued: "It is better for these wounded to stay here for the time being, and it is also conducive to their recovery." Diplomats and gentlemen, let's finish our work first! ”

The work that Pashali is talking about is the negotiation between the two sides. However, it was too late to have any substantive exchanges, so Zhang Haotian proposed a traditional exchange activity for the Chinese - a dinner party. Originally, the principle of pretending to be B was to invite Chinese to eat Western food and foreigners to eat Chinese food, but these foreigners are all people who have lived in China for a period of time, and Chinese food, especially Cantonese food, is not attractive to them. So Zhang Haotian decided to do the opposite and invited the British to a French dinner.

Although the kitchenware and tableware were all moved from the five-star hotels in the original time and space, the ingredients were limited after all, and the chefs of the former star hotels could only formulate menus according to the ingredients. However, he believes that the main course of black pepper steak alone can keep the British in check. As for wine, there is no shortage of wine in the Liberation Army, even if it is a bottle of Changyu with more than 20 yuan, it is also strong for wine transported from Europe over long distances. Several former waitresses in Western restaurants have been engaged in old business, Western-style skirts, elegant manners, as well as exquisite tableware and fragrant wine, which make the British people feel that the space is disordered. If it weren't for the yellow faces in front of them, Pashali would have thought they were dealing with Europeans.

Baulbet put down the wine glass in his hand and exclaimed, "This wine is really good!" I have never had such an authentic red wine in the East. Mr. Minister, can you tell me where this wine comes from? "According to Western custom, the host and guest sit on either side of the long table. Present at the dinner were three representatives of the British side, three attachés, and Baulbe, and in addition to the three representatives of the Liberation Army, Xie Sen, Du Lali, Huang Pushen, and Zhang Anbang were also brought in to accompany them. The object of Baulbe's questioning was his colleague sitting across from him, Xie Sen, the head of the Propaganda Department. As for the ten British guards, they could only enjoy the same food as the indigenous sailors in the naval canteen.

Xie Sen shook the wine glass in his hand, and the red wine glowed strangely under the light. To be honest, he doesn't like red wine, and as a media person, he only drinks red wine to pretend to be a B. Baulbet's question was unexpected, so there was no standard answer, so he casually said, "Actually, China began to make wine in the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century, so there is the verse 'Luminous glass of grape wine'." Because of the geographical environment, grape cultivation has always been only available in the Western Regions, and the Chinese do not like the taste of wine very much, so wine has not been promoted in China. Our wine is made from grapes from the Turpan region of Xinjiang and combines French and Chinese winemaking techniques. Today, these bottles are more than ten years old......" Several Britons nodded as they listened to the science, while the other survivors were suffocating and suffocating.

Pashali didn't talk much at the dinner table, but kept silently observing his opponent. These "high-ranking officers" of the Liberation Army were all young, generally no more than thirty years old, knowledgeable, polite, and appeared to be well-educated, with Western-style hairstyles and clothing, except for the color of their skin, their words and deeds were no different from Westerners. You know, even the compradors who are most closely related to Westerners still wear braids. It's just that although their clothing is in the Western style, it is very strange, and the neck of the shirt is tied up with a cloth band, which is very similar to those hillbillies in the Americas. Do they have something to do with the Americans? And the major of the Navy, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with an open collar, simply did not pay attention to the grooming of a soldier.

Bauerbe continued to converse pleasantly with the survivors, who were in fact often at a loss for words. He was so active because of Pashali's instructions, and Mr. Counselor wanted Baulbe to use his position as a reporter to make the Liberation Army relax its vigilance and learn about the situation of the Liberation Army by knocking on the side, after all, the British had too little information about the Liberation Army. However, he didn't know that the survivors had a strict confidentiality system, and there were rules for what could and could not be said, and if there were no regulations, they couldn't be made up. Sometimes no one believes the truth, for example, when Baulbet asks Lü Buwen where he learned his French, and Lü tells him that he learned his French at a Chinese university. This would have been true, but a few Britons did not believe it at all, when did China have universities? Also teach French? When we were three-year-olds!

The dinner lasted for two hours in a pleasant atmosphere, and when the dessert was served, Zhang Haotian also talked to Pashali about the negotiation for the first time. "Mr. Counselor, during the negotiations, you will live in the officers' quarters of the Navy, and the conditions are somewhat rudimentary, please be considerate!"

Pasha Lili nodded in agreement, "I can understand that we are not here for vacation, and we do not ask for hotel services. ”

"Thank you very much! Someone will take you to your room in a moment," Zhang Haotian said as he was also considering whether to set up a protocol department to be in charge of these things full-time, "Tomorrow we will start the first negotiation, the venue is this banquet hall, and the time is nine o'clock tomorrow morning." If there is nothing wrong with Mr. Counselor, then this is the end of the feast! ”

"Okay." Pashali was a good guest, and he respected the requirements of his host, and he also had something to talk to several of his subordinates. So the two sides left the banquet hall together, and before leaving, Bao Erbei did not forget to print the cream cake in the dessert.

Lü Buwen personally led the way to a temporary hostel for the British. It was a two-storey prefabricated house with a total of six rooms, one for the Pashali, one for the other two delegates, one for the two attachés, one for Baulbe and the third attaché, and ten guards for the last two. Lü Buwen sent the guests to the rooms one by one and taught them how to use the switch of the electric light. Paxiali's room was in the innermost part of the second floor, and after Lu Buwen sent Mr. Counselor, he apologized again for the poor conditions. "If you have any requests, you can ask the nearby Liberation Army guards, and they will convey them to me. Okay, I'll take my leave first, I wish you a good night?! ”
