Chapter 137, This World That Kills and Doesn't Bury (II)

1 March 1948, Perth Harbour, Western Australia

The sun rises as usual, and a new dawn is coming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Australia is the smallest continent on the planet, and the loneliest. This lonely continent is surrounded by the vastness of the ocean, isolated from the rest of the world, and so lonely that it is difficult for travelers to reach. It is not a neighbor of any country, and its borders are just a projection of itself. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, was once the most inaccessible place on the continent, and was poetically described by literati as "the last prosperity at the end of the continent".

However, even so, the colonial frenzy of the Age of Discovery and the flames of the world war did not let go of this remote corner.

-- Australia, which the Anglo-Saxon nation had seized by war and massacre, was again taken away by the Japanese with even more cruel and bloody butcher's knives.

To this day, the white immigrants who originally lived in Western Australia, with the exception of a few white-skinned women who were kept in comfort stations for their desires, had been systematically killed by the Japanese occupation forces. The aborigines who lived here earlier had already been slaughtered by the British colonizers. Therefore, at this time, Perth Harbour has completely become the world of the Yamato nation, and the streets are full of standard yellow faces.

After making a big fuss in the Indian Ocean, shelling the warehouses of Kolkata and other ports, making some contributions to the outbreak of famine in Bangladesh, and adding a bunch of bullet marks to their own ships, the "blue mermaid" Japanese Navy women's fleet, which had returned triumphantly with all the oil bombs, came to Western Australia and scattered to various ports in Western Australia to rest and recuperate. Since four months ago, the majestic battleship Yamato, which represents the pride of the Japanese nation and the wonder of contemporary industry, and is the largest in the world in terms of tonnage, has been anchored outside the mouth of the Swan River, gently undulating and rippling with the waves.

It was early in the morning, and the wake-up call was already blowing on the battleship Yamato, and the smell of breakfast was wafting from the kitchen and cafeteria. Just as a group of Japanese survivors, wives, ladies, royal sisters, loli and young daughters wearing sailor suits of different sizes (the Yamato is currently also serving as a women's naval elementary school and a women's naval kindergarten), while chattering like five hundred ducks, while raising chopsticks to attack the meal, Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Guo Political Commissar, Li Wei, silver-haired twin young daughters Glitter and Hansel, female school doctor Shizuka Jukawa and the current captain of the Yamato Minami Satoka and other visitors from another world also set up parasols and small round tables on the terrace of the bridge. It's been a long time since I've gotten together for a meal.

The Japanese breakfast served on the warship was simple, with a bowl of miso soup with fried tofu and bacon per person, a bowl of "rice rice" mixed with barley, and a plate of canned green beans or fish floss, which you could mix with soy sauce and pickles if you wanted.

Well, although there are no appetizing delicacies, looking at Nan Lixiang's sassy and heroic appearance in a military uniform, as well as Teacher Shizuka Jukawa, who rarely changed into a white coat and a nurse's hat again, and thinking of their coquettish debauchery last night, it still makes Wang Qiu feel in a good mood.

――In the captain's room of the famous battleship Yamato, where legend has it that Admiral Yamamoto 56 stayed, he played hand-to-hand combat with the purple-haired female captain with wheat skin...... With such a sense of accomplishment and psychological satisfaction, how can you not say the word "cool"?

However, seeing the female doctor dressed up by Teacher Shizuka Jukawa, Wang Qiu couldn't help but turn his eyes to the beach opposite. Compared to when the Yamato first arrived in Perth, a garden hotel building that looked like a large villa resort was already standing by the beach at the Swan Estuary. However, compared to the usual seaside resorts, the red cross erected on the barbed wire fence and roof of the building stands out.

“…… Saying...... The world tossed around in such a big circle, and in the end, the interdimensional sanatorium was set up in Perth! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

――Previously, before the connection with the world of "Doraemon" was severed, Wang Qiu once took a huge amount of special funds from the state, and through his friendship with Doraemon, managed to purchase a large batch of "22nd century black technology props". Among these black technology props on the Doraemon plane, those medical props that can treat terminal illnesses are the most sought after by government bigwigs. After all, life is priceless, and the more powerful the old man, the more he will spare his life. However, those items used in medical treatment, such as the [Automatic Medical Kit], are not so much high-tech products as unscientific products made with alchemy, which cannot function at all in the real world and can only be used in the story world.

Therefore, every time Wang Qiu crosses the other world and comes to a strange time and space, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of opening a cross-time and space sanatorium to "serve the people".

Previously, in Hainan Island and Australia in the late Ming Dynasty, as well as the Montana country farm in the Marvel world, and the British country estate in the plane of "Pride and Prejudice", Wang Qiu has successively opened several cross-time and space sanatoriums, and used the black technology props of the robot cat world to cure millions of modern Chinese terminally ill patients. However, given China's huge population base, this number is still a drop in the ocean. Not to mention that for diplomatic and political reasons, the government has to admit some foreign terminally ill patients to ease the international pressure caused by the leak of secrets.

Therefore, even in this mutant World War II plane, Wang Qiu had just gained a firm foothold before he was urged to open a cross-time and space-time sanatorium again.

However, compared to previous times, the number of admissions this time is much smaller. First of all, because the number of terminally ill patients in a certain period of time is also limited, and if it is not for a high position, a lot of money, or a world of fame, ordinary people will not be able to get this ticket to a hospital in another world. Millions of people have been cured in one go, but now the number of patients has dropped dramatically. The second is the black technology props in the robot cat world that have been hoarded before, especially the medical props, the number of which is also limited, and it can no longer be purchased and replenished, with a little less, at this point, there are not many medical props left that can be used. If we don't strictly limit the number of people who can be treated, we are likely to be exhausted in an instant.

If it weren't for these medical props in the Doraemon world, they would all have an expiration date, and if they are not used after the expiration date, they are likely to be scrapped automatically...... Believe it or not, the authorities will hide them all in the dark bank and insurance vaults, and not let anyone outside touch them at all?

- Of course, as for Wang Qiu, who secretly stuffed two [automatic medical kits] and several other props into a certain [time capsule] behind everyone's back, and secretly hid them just in case, he naturally wouldn't mention it to anyone......

(In the setting of "Doraemon", time in [Time Capsule] stops passing, and any fresh food can be stored for a century.) ）

Despite this, the number of people admitted for treatment has only been reduced from a few million to tens of thousands, and Wang Qiu and the others still have to have a headache to solve the problem of recuperation for these people.

At the beginning, Wang Qiu and the others directly set up the cross-time sanatorium at their first foothold after crossing the plane, the naval shrine of the Truk Town Guard, and got the consent and help of Miss Sophie, the ship's mother. But the problem is that the place of the naval shrine is not large, and it can't accommodate too many sick people and nursing staff at one time, and it is already the limit to be able to accommodate more than a dozen sick people at the same time...... Wang Qiu repeatedly told them to keep absolute quiet, and the patients complained that they seemed to be the Jews in the attic in the "Diary of Anne Frank" to escape Nazi arrest.

Later, the Sanatorium was relocated to Vladivostok, and an unused barracks of the Soviet border guards was directly requisitioned. In this way, the problem of the narrow space and avoiding the attention of the outside world has been solved, but the winter in Russia is really not something that ordinary people can endure, let alone those who are already terminally ill and generally bedridden...... As a result, as soon as the Jiangnan area was liberated, the ticket person couldn't wait to move to Hangzhou, saying that he wanted to feel the "original scenery of the Jiangnan water town before it was polluted by industrial civilization" and enjoy the edification of Jiangnan humanities......

Who knew that after a few days in Hangzhou, the "era of agricultural civilization" in this time and space, all the convalescents with literary and artistic styles could not stand it again, and begged Wang Qiu to move the cross-time and space sanatorium to Perth Harbour in Western Australia, which has modern infrastructure and a sparsely populated climate and is livable.

――The reason is that the environment is too poor and dirty, the water in the streams and rivers is too smelly, the water is not clean, the diarrhea is drunk, there is no power supply, etc......

Political Commissar Guo's evaluation of this matter was: "...... What's the solution? Those little freshmen say what environmental protection all day long, what do they say that they would rather green mountains and green waters, not high-rise buildings, in fact? If they were to really live in a pre-industrial society, they would not be able to survive for a month without complaining!

Alas, no one likes sticky rivers and mosquitoes everywhere, boats that are slower than walking and muddy water splashing on official roads. And no one likes to wash fruit and brush the toilet in the same dirty river. But these things themselves are the products of the beauty of the Jiangnan water town, and only by modernizing can it be possible to provide modern tourists with a beautiful scenery and no dirty water in the Jiangnan water town. Why don't those little freshmen understand? ”

“…… They will never understand that the mind of an artist is always different from that of ordinary people! Don't you know the blessing when you are in the midst of blessings! ”

Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "...... He always sings about the return to basics, the joy of the countryside, and the original sin of industrial civilization...... Actually? Not to mention cutting off water and electricity, chopping wood and cooking by yourself, and even if the mobile phone signal is not good and you can't access the Internet, I'm afraid you have to call for a long time! ”

Having said that, Wang Qiu and the others are helpless against these picky and delicate patients, and they can only pinch their noses as much as possible to meet some of their unreasonable requirements - people who can travel through time and space to treat terminal illnesses have some status. And taking care of them is also Wang Qiu's duty, and it is also the necessary price for the various supports and generous appropriations given by the state: without the behind-the-scenes support of the central government to mobilize the power of the whole country, Wang Qiu's journey through the country may be much more thrilling, and the various troubles caused by it (including but not limited to the attack of alien monsters) will not be so easy to solve.

All in all, as long as these patients can quietly receive treatment here and wait for recovery, and don't run out to cause any trouble with a moment of curiosity, Wang Qiu and they should be thankful. In addition, even if they obscenely stretched out their groping hands to Miss Nurse, it was not impossible to turn a blind eye and mix it up - provided that they didn't reach into the ass of Shizuka Jukawa, who was already regarded as a forbidden person by Wang Qiu......

Therefore, after a few words of complaining about these difficult patients, Wang Qiu and the others hurriedly ended this unpleasant topic, and instead shifted the topic to the recent anecdotes of Australian life - because the fleet is in a state of anchorage and rest, the number of ships on board is usually halved, so whether it is the battleship Yamato or the other ships accompanying it, it has now become much more sparse. Every day, half of the maidens, ladies and surviving sailors take their children or sisters ashore to let off steam, often returning with some interesting knick-knacks.

Someone collected colorful exotic flowers, some brought fresh cactus fruit, and some brought a wallaby as a famous product of Western Australia (much smaller than an ordinary kangaroo, about the size of a cat), this kind of fluffy thing like a large squirrel is indeed full of cuteness, provoking a kind of sailor suit girls on the warship to shout "kawaii", and then take the wallaby into their arms and rub it desperately...... Unfortunately, because the cute wallabies are not as easy to adapt to life on the boat as cats, it is difficult to keep them as mascots, so I regretted that I let them go.

At first glance, the pace of life in Perth Harbour seems to be so laid-back and relaxed, and there seems to be little sign of disaster and destruction.

In fact, in this catastrophic year of global climate change, Australia, far from the war, is also not doing well, and in the first half of the year, there is also a severe El Niño phenomenon in the second half of the year - but, contrary to most parts of the world, Australia in El Niño is not colder, but hotter, and with the sharp drop in precipitation and widespread drought, the food production is likely to become a tragedy......

Fortunately, relying on the superpower of the ship's mother to "turn the flat land into a factory" and the rich mineral resources of Western Australia, at least there is no shortage of chemical fertilizers for the time being, and the high temperature is actually more conducive to the growth of crops, provided that there is sufficient irrigation water - for this reason, Wang Qiu used the black technology props of the Doraemon plane to manipulate the weather, and gave Perth City and its surrounding areas a few unscientific heavy rains, which finally ensured that the output of grain, vegetables and fruits in the agricultural area of the Swan River Basin (Australia's "wheat belt") would not decline this year. As for the rest of the place...... That's beyond the scope of power.

So, in Australia, the smoke of war seems to have dissipated, and the signs of famine have been extinguished in the early stages of germination. A thriving market, a convenient modern lifestyle, and an abundant supply of food and daily necessities...... Except for the change of skin color of the humans living here, everything seems so calm and peaceful. At least staying on the Yamato, which is berthed, can only feel the lazy and leisurely daily life in the bright sun.

However, this did not prevent Wang Qiu from learning about all kinds of disasters and catastrophes in other corners of the world through various modern means of communication and reconnaissance.

ps: After checking the information, I found that the most undisciplined army in the world in recent years is not the US military division that asks veterans to return bonuses and lose money and lose their lives, but the Myanmar military government...... After the devastating floods in Myanmar, they set up cards to intercept international aid convoys, confiscated relief materials and resold them on the international black market, and embezzled all the money they earned.
