Chapter 279: Infectious Diseases
Colonel Valdo Granma was shocked, turned his head, and looked at Fang Lang in disbelief.
It's not that he was shocked that the other party gave him such a valuable thing.
Instead, the two had just reached an agreement tacitly, and Fang Lang immediately threw out such a thing.
His eyes seemed to be questioning Fang Lang, what else do you want to do?
Fang Lang looked at the other party's expression and smiled:
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Colonel, we are comrades-in-arms.
This property was seized by us when we exterminated the Ngar Yakub family, and it was given to you as a gift, and it is your freedom to do with it."
The meaning of the expression is very clear, since we have reached an agreement, we are friends.
This house is just a gift for a friend.
Colonel Valdo Granmar thought a little more, and thought that the other party wanted to let him use this house to house Miss Ianna Siti.
Continue to blackmail Miss Ianna Siti with him!
In fact, he hasn't figured it out yet, and the current state is actually the most beneficial for Fang Lang.
Fang Lang didn't mean to test him, if Colonel Waldo Grama really brought the blonde big wave to Natal to live.
He had to think ahead of time about the new Marine Corps commander.
You can't wait for Colonel Valdo Granma to roll over and be abandoned, and be caught off guard!
After staring at Fang Lang for a long time, and finding that Fang Lang really didn't look like he had other meanings, Colonel Valdo Grama nodded and said to Fang Lang:
"Thank you, sir, for the gift."
Then he pushed the door and walked out.
Colonel Valdo Granma, who walked out of Fang Lang's office, had a bitter face, knowing that he was completely manipulated by Fang Lang.
After sighing softly, he chose to accept his fate.
Fang Lang, who had just sent Colonel Valdo Granma away, didn't have much of a heart to care about his mood at the moment.
He was poring over a document on his desk.
At first, when I watched it, I didn't care too much, and the more I looked at Fang Lang, the more ugly my face became.
This is how long it took me to recruit the American advisory group to Natal.
picked up the phone on the table and called Qi Qingshan in.
"Qingshan, call me the military medic Danilo Huber right away."
Qi Qingshan didn't understand why Fang Lang's face was ugly, and thought that it was Colonel Valdo Granma who made Fang Lang unhappy.
But Fang Lang suddenly called the military medical officer to report to him, which still surprised Qi Qingshan, and hurriedly said:
"Boss, is there anything wrong with you?"
Fang Lang shook his head, continued to look at the contents of the document, and said without raising his head:
"It's business, you hurry up and tell the military medic Danilo Huber to come and see me."
Qi Qingshan was relieved when he heard that it was not Fang Lang who was unwell, and hurriedly took the order to leave.
After a while, he took Danilo Huber, the medical officer of the First Fleet, to Fang Lang's office.
The First Fleet is a naval force with tens of thousands of personnel, but the number of military doctors is not large, and there is only one battalion-level unit, which is under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department.
Major Danilo Huber, a military medical officer, is the commander of this battalion-sized medical unit.
"Medic Danilo Huber, is your report accurate?"
Fang Lang looked at the middle-aged white man in front of him with slightly gray hair and glasses.
The other side is obviously prepared for this problem.
Stand up and salute directly:
"Your Excellency, this report is based on the real data of the soldiers who have visited the medical camp to check their bodies during this time.
The data is absolutely true and reliable."
Fang Lang frowned and continued to ask:
"Do we have a good cure now?"
The military medical officer hurriedly stood up and saluted:
「
Your Excellency, the best treatment now is penicillin, but the price of penicillin is too high.
What's more, it takes at least one to two months for a patient to recover.
And now the number of infected people found in our medical camp alone is close to more than 500.
As for how many people have been infected and have not been tested in our medical camp, we have no way of counting them."
The number of 10,000 troops diagnosed with syphilis and gonorrhea by the medical battalion has reached more than 500.
Each person is hospitalized for one month, which is equivalent to one-twentieth of the fleet's non-combat attrition.
"Has the source of the infection been investigated?"
"Report to the General, the source of the infection is a runaway female in Natal!"
"Isn't it already the Natal government that organizes regular check-ups for these women who have lost their footing?
Is there a runaway woman who is working without a license?"
Fang Lang was very annoyed, when the Yakubu family was eradicated, he had already rectified the entire entertainment industry in Natal, and issued a permit to take pictures for every woman who had lost her footing.
The government organizes a medical force to carry out regular medical examinations for these women, and they are allowed to operate only if they are healthy.
Could it be that the government has given up on enforcement so quickly?
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Major Danilo Huber said with a little embarrassment:
"I've heard that since the soldiers of the U.S. Advisory Corps patronized these businesses, many women who had lost their footings had been confirmed to be infected and sent to the hospital.
There are less than 200 women who are still working."
When Fang Lang heard this, a national scold almost erupted.
Doesn't this mean that a large part of the American GIs he invited still carry syphilis and gonorrhea germs?
I knew that the American GI was wild, but I didn't expect to play so wildly.
It's no wonder that American GIs in World War II had condoms in everyone's supplies.
It seems that this disease is very common in the American *** team!
Resisting the urge to scold his mother, Fang Lang looked at Major Danilo Huber and said:
"If we organize all the soldiers to have a physical examination now, will your manpower be able to keep busy?"
Major Danilo Huber didn't expect Fang Lang to want to organize a physical examination of all soldiers.
Some of the difficult ways:
"Your Excellency, we now have more than 500 susceptible patients in the medical camp, and if we want to conduct a comprehensive medical examination of everyone, we may need to seek medical support from the outside world."
Fang Lang never thought that the first official business he handled after becoming a rear admiral would be this kind of bullshit.
Sighing helplessly, he said:
"There are not enough people, I'll figure out a way, we have to organize everyone to have a medical examination immediately.
Now we already have one-twentieth non-combat attrition, and if after a full medical examination, I estimate that there will be at least one-tenth non-combat attrition.
If this situation is allowed to continue, and if it is not contained, our fleet will not have to fight.
You will be directly defeated by these unspeakable diseases."
Fang Lang turned his head and said to Qi Qingshan:
"Inform the Chief of Staff of De la Torre to immediately organize all personnel of the fleet to undergo medical examinations in batches."
"Yes, boss."
Qi Qingshan was ordered to leave.
Fang Lang continued to Major Danilo Huber:
"Mr. Medic, health and safety are no small matter, and now our fleet is getting bigger and bigger.
I think it's important for us to expand the size of the camps.
You go back and make a plan as soon as possible, I'm going to set up our fleet's own hospital.
The establishment was expanded to the regimental level.
In order to ensure that the hospital has sufficient disease supply, we can open the remaining medical resources to the outside world.
Receiving people to the hospital for medical treatment, exercising the ability of doctors, is also for the fleet
Generate some income."
In fact, this is the advanced experience of the hometown in later generations, which was directly learned and used by Fang Lang.
Major Danilo Huber was very surprised, after all, Brazil is not his hometown, the army is a country, and the medical battalion is also a state, responsible for ensuring the life, health and safety of the soldiers.
Now Fang Lang wants to build a military hospital, Major Danilo Huber has no doubts, however, the general hospital is open to the public, and ordinary people are accepted to seek medical treatment in the military hospital.
This is the first time in Brazil!
Fang Lang was also helpless, after all, Natal's medical and health situation was not good.
After rescuing a group of laborers from the Japanese last time, doctors had to be recruited from Rio de Janeiro and other places to arrange for the laborers to have a physical examination.
Originally, he wanted to wait for Lilith to graduate and build a hospital in Natal for Lilith to practice.
However, Lilith's studies were not expected to end until at least mid-1949.
Now, can't wait.
It is simply necessary to build a military hospital based on the fleet's medical battalion, and at the same time provide medical and health care for the officers and men of the fleet, and at the same time train a contingent of qualified doctors.
Although Major Danilo Huber was surprised by Fang Lang's approach, this matter was obviously good for him, and he would definitely not refuse, so he did not hesitate to stand up and salute:
"Yes, Your Excellency! Guaranteed to complete the mission."
Fang Lang nodded and said:
"For this fleet-wide physical examination, my idea is to try to find the right medical staff in Brazil.
At the same time, I will also hire a medical team from the United States to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the American advisory team.
I think Americans must have a wealth of clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases.
We need to take this opportunity to learn more from them. Do you understand?"
Major Danilo Huber was surprised that Fang Lang would hire an American medical team.
Modern medicine in this era is developing rapidly, and powerful countries such as Britain and the United States are undoubtedly at the forefront of the world.
Having access to the latest American treatments is a unique opportunity for Major Danilo Huber as an individual and as a team.
"Yes, sir!"
After concluding communication with Major Danilo Huber.
Fang Lang directly asked his immediate boss, Admiral Crook, Minister of the Navy, for help, after all, the Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group is also an important part of the Brazilian Navy in the final analysis.
Of course, you can't solve all the difficulties by yourself, and you can only increase your sense of presence in front of the leaders by asking for help from the superior leadership department.
After receiving Fang Lang's request for help, General Crook immediately dispatched a medical team of about 500 people from the Admiralty and the Ministry of Defense to Natal to support.
He affirmed Fang Lang's attitude of being able to detect the abnormality in time and immediately start a positive response.
Then, Fang Lang asked the American Universal Group to hire a professional medical team from the American hospital to be responsible for the physical examination and treatment of the American advisory team.
As mentioned earlier, it is not that Americans are noble and have to ask doctors from the United States to treat them.
Fang Lang's original purpose was to enable Brazilian doctors to learn some advanced diagnosis and treatment methods from Americans.
It is better to be able to dig two doctors in the medical team and stay in Brazil to join the fleet military hospital and serve the fleet.
After all, if you want to make a military hospital grow and grow, it is definitely not enough to rely on military doctors alone.
Hiring outside doctors is also an important tool, and these American doctors are excellent talents who have been exposed to the world's advanced diagnosis and treatment methods.
Of course, it's best to stay.
Of course, this is also some wishful thinking on the part of Fang Lang, after all, doctors in the United States are high-income people and are respected.
If he joins the military hospital, how much salary can Fang Lang give?
Referring to the American standard, it will definitely cause a conflict between local Brazilian doctors and American doctors
Contradiction.
Therefore, this plan will definitely not work in the end, and only by training their own medical staff is a long-term solution.
