Chen Fei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "Didn't you just say that this girl was caught by our soldiers? I just asked the commander to seal off the city gates and put up notices, all of which are for the troops to do, and I am afraid that this will make the epidemic spread even more! ”

Chen Fei said: "I have already let them stay in a separate room, I still know that officer well, although he is lustful, but he still takes orders very seriously." ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's good." ”

At this time, Huang Mingtao had already injected the girl with a dose of antipyretic medicine and injected gentamicin intravenously, and someone injected Chen Fei with the vaccine and took him to a separate room for isolation and observation.

According to the name provided by Chen Fei, Lin Yuan quarantined the officers and the people who captured the girl, vaccinated them, and quarantined their close contacts.

On March 10, the Beijing ship brought more disinfection equipment and medical equipment by sea, Huang Mingtao extracted Xia Zi's blood and carried out bacterial culture, in which the plague bacillus was isolated, thus confirming that the disease she had was plague, and after antibiotic treatment, the girl's condition has been basically stable and has no tendency to deteriorate.

Lin Yuan learned from Huang Mingtao that the quarantine time would be at least fifteen days, which made Lin Yuan very anxious, after all, the battle on the front line was quite tense, and he was waiting for Chen Fei to recruit new soldiers in Panjin.

There was another point that made Lin Yuan very worried, that is, he was worried that the Japanese army in Shenyang would take the opportunity to attack the Dingwu army, but what he didn't expect was that the Japanese army did not attack. The reason is precisely because of Lin Yuan's strategic deception, after the Qing court announced the news of Lin Yuan's death, it sent a representative to say that it would restart the peace talks, but at this time, Lin Yuan took the Dingwu army directly across the Liao River, and the Japanese were so angry that they scolded the Qing court for treachery.

However, the Qing court said: the resumption of peace talks is not an official statement, on the contrary, when Lin Yuan was the chief negotiator, the announcement of the beginning of the war is the official statement, although Lin Yuan died, but the two countries are still in a state of war.

Such a small word game, so that the Japanese army lost the opportunity on the battlefield, they want to let Dashanyan command the army to recapture the Liao River, but unfortunately the Dingwu Army has gained a firm foothold, and the Kaizi Army and the Tiezi Army have also crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Liao River and stationed in Xinmin, so that if the Japanese army attacks the Dingwu Army, it is very likely to be in a two-sided attack, so the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack the Dingwu Army.

At this time in Shenyang, Dashanyan was thinking about Shenyang's defensive operations, and at this time, the staff officer put a telegram in front of him, which read: "In the rear of the Qing army, there is a plague in Panjin, and I hope that all departments will prevent it." ”

Oyama Iwa was surprised and said, "Is there a plague in winter?" ”

The staff officer smiled: "General, this plague was created by us. ”

Da Shanyan dropped the pen in his hand on the ground in surprise and said, "How is this possible? ”

The staff officer said, "Dr. Ishihara is waiting outside for your summons, and he will answer all your questions. Dashan Yan hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let him in." ”

The staff officer promised to go out, and after a while, the door opened, and a young officer entered.

The officer saluted and said, "Hello general, my name is Hideyoshi Ishihara, and I am the junior commander of the baggage unit of the First Division. ”

Da Shanyan nodded and said, "What does the plague in the rear of the Qing army have to do with you?" ”

Ishihara Hideyoshi said: "General, before answering your questions, please allow me to introduce myself, I graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, majored in infectious diseases, and later joined the army and became a samurai under His Majesty the Emperor, General, who do you think is the most powerful army in the world in history, apart from the army of our Great Japanese Empire?" ”

Da Shanyan was very happy when he heard him say that the Japanese army was the most powerful in the world, so he smiled and said: "There are different opinions on this question, since you have asked, it means that you have your own unique views on this issue, or you should talk about it." ”

Ishihara Hideyoshi said: "General Xie Lu Xie, in fact, the most powerful army in history is not the army of mankind, but the army of the kingdom of disease, in medieval Europe, the Black Death once killed 24 million people at a time, at the beginning of this century, Napoleon, who swept across Europe, attacked Russia, but was defeated, and it was not the army of the Russians who defeated him, but typhus fever in the kingdom of disease!" ”

Da Shanyan nodded and smiled: "I understand, you continue." ”

Ishihara Hideyoshi said: "General, referring to history, I think that if we also create a great plague in the rear of the Qing army, then we will be able to break the resistance of the Qing army, so when I was in Panjin, I have been doing this in secret, the most powerful plague, if it is the Black Death, we still don't know what kind of germ this disease is caused by Langdao, but we can know where there is this germ in Langdao, there are some diseased marmots, and the plague is obtained, so we catch these marmots and let them infect people." ”

Dashan Yan said: "Your idea is good, but who are you using?" ”

Hideyoshi Ishihara said: "At that time, I considered the people of Yongshina, but I was afraid that they would not bring the disease to Panjin, so I chose our people. ”

Dashan Yan's face sank, frowned, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Ishihara Hideyoshi hurriedly explained: "We don't dare to use heroic samurai, we are looking for military prostitutes, and these women will die when they die!" ”

Da Shanyan thought for a while and said, "Then can we use this trick to Beijing, Nanjing, the rear of the Qing court?" ”

Ishihara said: "Yes, but we need further research, plague is a disease, once people get it, it won't take three or five days to die, so they can't go that far, if we want to use it in Beijing, we need to find the bacteria that cause the plague, and then find the most suitable cultivation method, and then transport them to Beijing." ”

Dashan Yan said: "I understand, research needs money, right? ”

Hideyoshi Ishihara said: "For the sake of the Empire's research, we shouldn't have asked for money, but this research requires a lot of equipment and technicians, and we have to need a lot of money. ”

Dashan Yan took out a notebook, picked up a pen from the ground, wrote something on it, and said: "I have written down your affairs, I will report to Lu Shang as soon as possible, with my recommendation, you will definitely get funding soon, you are another secret weapon of our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

When Ishihara Hideyoshi heard "another", he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare, so he said: "Thank you general, my subordinates will definitely live up to the general's expectations!" ”

Five days later, on March 15, Lin Yuan and Huang Mingtao met in the conference room, Huang Mingtao would report the epidemic to Lin Yuan every day, Huang Mingtao said: "Captain, there were no new cases and no new suspected cases yesterday, and the condition of the Japanese girl has improved." ”

Huang Mingtao saw Lin Yuan's pensive look and asked: "Captain, I don't understand, according to the usual practice, the plague in the army during the war is to block the news from the outside world, for example, in our time, the Spanish flu that swept the world and caused more than 20 million deaths was first discovered in the US military, and at that time the US military adopted strict news control, so the outside world did not know about this situation, but we posted a notice as soon as we entered the city, saying that there was a plague, is it appropriate to do so?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "My back move, you will see it soon." ”
