Chapter 261 Prevention and Control of Flower Willow Disease; Those two are two of the poorest states in the United States
Zhou Changfeng then remembered that the secrecy level of Daming's formation of special forces was not low, and he was still told of the existence of the "Yiluan Division" because he was the proposer.
Well, Mu Yu is a middle-level officer in the Air Force, if he knows about this, it would be a strange thing, in that case, he would have to reflect on whether the level of secrecy of the Ming Army was leaking from all sides.
Today's special forces generally refer to special types of units that are different from ordinary troops, such as baggage, engineers, chemical defense, and epidemic prevention.
So Zhou Changfeng coughed twice and explained: "This special force is not the other special force, what I am talking about is actually a kind of lightly armed force, small in number, flexible, well-trained, and the elite of the elite." ”
"Oh, that's right." Mu Yu stared at him, thought about it, and guessed quite confidently: "According to the experience of suppressing bandits, it is indeed inconvenient for large troops to enter the mountains, and it is easy to be tricked around, so it is suitable to encircle and contain them on the outside line, and then let this kind of agile elite soldiers chase and intercept, right?" ”
"That's right."
"I think it's appropriate."
"Of course, this is only a tactical guiding ideology, maybe it is the key to victory, but in order to avoid wildfires blowing and regenerating, supporting policies must not be less, otherwise it will only be dragged out."
"What policy? Attacking the mind and breaking people's hearts? ”
A smiling Zhou Changfeng said: "The resistance army is in a difficult environment, there are many non-combat attrition, if you rely on yourself, you will soon lose your combat strength and collapse, and there must be external support, such as local people." ”
Mu Yu felt the same way, nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the deep mountains and old forests are not a place for people, snakes, insects, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards, it is difficult to find a good place to repair, and it will definitely be difficult to continue without the support of others." ”
He muttered, "Could it be that you are directly moving the surrounding people away to cut off contact? And then burn down the house and remove everything that can be used? ”
Okay, you kid, you're all bright as soon as you come up?
Zhou Changfeng, who was slightly speechless, replied: "Uh... This is not impossible, but it is more extreme and easy to backfire. On the whole, it is better to eliminate the hostility of the local people, encircle them, and then try to rebel against the people in the resistance. ”
"Do you tempt them with profit?"
"The specific way to do it will be determined after the field investigation, but in view of the excessive and heavy taxes in Japan, and the poverty of the people, a small amount of tax reduction and distribution of goods should not be bad."
The officers who could participate in the canonization ceremony and banquet were all the commanders of an independent unit, Zhou Changfeng was the chief officer of the 1st Marine Regiment, and Mu Yu was the acting commander of the 20th Light Bombardment Detachment, so although their military ranks were "not high", they could participate.
With the exception of both, most of the officers were colonels and brigadier generals.
As a result, the two young men talked about how to exterminate the resistance at the banquet, but it became the most attention, and everyone present was quite embarrassed, because the members of the Japanese court and cabinet were more or less Chinese.
Moreover, Zhou Changfeng and Mu Yu didn't notice the eyes of the others because they were full of interest, until Nie Quan coughed a few times and glared at them, and then they stopped to eat properly.
After the banquet was over, Nie Quan called the two of them to the General Office of the Second Army, which was temporarily arranged in the Army Provincial Building, and then approved the two of them fiercely.
Good feast, you two boys talk about the extermination of the Resistance in public, isn't this a bad mood for everyone? Knowing etiquette, understanding etiquette, and keeping the basic rules of etiquette are not observed? Isn't this ruining the image of the officers of the Celestial Empire's royal divisions?
The two who were scolded and bloodied finally left in disgrace.
As everyone knows, this smoothly passed canonization ceremony and banquet is so dazzling in the eyes of some people.
The "Land of the Sun", which has been independent since ancient times, has really bowed down to China.
Although Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi also received canonizations, they were only superficial, after all, the Ming Dynasty at that time could not control the Dongying Islands, but now it is no longer the same.
Out of a sense of revenge and the purpose of promoting their own existence, the radicals in the army who fought bravely defended the Turks made plans for the attack.
They secretly selected seven people, prepared an 81mm mortar disassembled in a dismantled state and a small number of shells, and quietly transported it to the second floor of an inn about two kilometers in a straight line from the imperial palace.
The original plan was very simple, take advantage of the time when the Ming canonized envoy and his party entered the imperial palace through Niju Bridge, quickly launch there, and then immediately abandon their weapons and flee, hiding in the vast sea of people in Tokyo.
Eventually, however, he fled alone in the early hours of the morning and reported the situation to several gendarmes of the 7th Division, who were patrolling nearby.
In the end, dozens of soldiers surrounded the inn under the cover of an armored vehicle.
In the minutes prior to that, a squad of soldiers dressed in civilian clothes had suddenly broken in, with or without a single shot, and six members of the Resistance were captured red-handed.
The 81mm mortar and the accompanying equipment were all available - scopes, levels, rangefinders, six rounds of 81mm high-explosive rounds, in addition to some Browning pistols and Webley revolvers.
As it was unclear whether there were any other resistance forces, the Second Army's General Office recommended that the canonization ceremony be urgently suspended, but the Chin Cha refused.
So, the insider was worried about it, for fear that he would not be able to end the scene due to an accident, but fortunately, the canonization ceremony finally passed unharmed.
Zhou Changfeng learned about this when he left the General Army, and he felt that he had "guessed right" more than he was afraid.
"I'll just say, the gang of people who resisted desperately before can't disappear overnight, as expected."
When he returned to the station, a group of military doctors from Nagasaki also arrived from the airport without stopping.
The barrier slowly lifted, and two off-road vehicles and three trucks loaded with supplies drove into the barracks.
"Come on, come on!"
"Circulars and briefings are issued to move these things down."
The nearby soldiers unhurriedly crossed their rifles to the side, and then stepped forward to unload the wooden crates from the trucks one by one.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was talking to several military doctors, Zhou Changfeng, who was passing by on a sidecar motorcycle, stopped and walked over.
“…… This batch is mainly based on 914, and there will be supplies by sea after that, and there will be no shortage. ”
"That's good, it's still based on the guidance of the 31 version." Jiang Ning thought for a moment and added, "But I read that the newspapers and periodicals said that Nagasaki had tried to introduce Yashosan, and the effect seemed to be okay?" ”
"Indeed, but the shortening of the course of gonorrhea treatment is not significant, but it can be reduced by about ten days and half a month for mild flower willow disease."
Under the threat of death and strict military law, the high-pressure life has caused the officers and men to accumulate a huge amount of negative emotions and pressure, and if this continues, it is easy to cause the morale of the army to be unstable and demoralized.
A fairly effective way to vent is to satisfy primitive physiological needs, and this is undoubtedly a pros and cons.
The chaotic behavior is very susceptible to willow disease, and after a moment of fun, the pressure disappears, but the pathogens of syphilis and gonorrhea creep in.
In this regard, the Ming army stationed in Nagasaki had a wealth of "experience", or rather a painful experience.
Before the progress of modern medicine and medicine, the classical medicine of the East and the West lacked the ability to effectively treat the willow disease, that is, syphilis. Gonorrhea is slightly better.
Whether it is bloodletting and amputation, acupuncture or herbal medicine, it cannot deal with Treponema pallidum.
According to statistics, in the eight years from the beginning of the century to 7910, more than seventy percent of the Ming troops stationed in Japan were infected with syphilis and gonorrhea, and more than 2,500 of them died or became disabled because of the disease, because after the development of the advanced stage, syphilis will cause significant damage to the human heart, cerebrovascular, and internal organs.
It was not until 7910 that the Germans finally succeeded in developing the world's first special drug for the treatment of syphilis, which was named 606 because it took a total of 606 trials to succeed.
Later, 914 was developed, which was slightly less effective but had significantly fewer side effects.
At this point, the rampant flower willow disease was finally brought under control, and the officers and men no longer had to be still worried when venting.
To this day, the Ming army stationed in Nagasaki has accumulated a wealth of experience in prevention and control through repeated propaganda and emphasis, word of mouth among officers and soldiers, and centralized control of prostitutes.
The various units that make up the Second Army were drawn from all parts of the country, and naturally there were no lessons and lessons in this regard, so there were also signs of the spread of willow disease in the past half a month.
To this end, the military headquarters instructed the Nagasaki garrison to send experienced military doctors and a batch of supplies to reinforce it.
The 1st Marine Regiment was divided into four people, along with 1,000 pamphlets on the prevention of willow disease, 200 propaganda posters, 2,000 914 medicines, and 50,000 small rubber umbrellas.
"The common combination prescription we use here is the Herb Separation Pill and the Poria Cocos Septic Powder, and the effect is good." The military doctor major, who was headed by a gray-haired old man, stroked his beard and said, "If the body is already healthy, some people will be cured in half a year. ”
Generally speaking, the mainstream level in the world is 40-45 days for gonorrhea and about 240 days for syphilis. However, the experienced Ming army stationed in Japan is at the forefront of the world in this regard, the former often recovers in 30 days, and the latter is also significantly higher than the mainstream level.
Before the antibiotics represented by penicillin were used on a large scale, it can be said that it is an unimaginable miracle to reach this extent.
All it can be said is... Daming medicine is invincible in the world! Now it is really an old military doctor to treat venereal diseases.
"You still need to pay more attention to this matter, syphilis is too troublesome to cure, and we must take precautions." Zhou Changfeng took out a booklet from one of the wooden boxes and flipped through it.
The booklet is illustrated and only a few pages long. In addition to a brief description of several common STDs, some suggestions are given.
First, it is advisable to go to a place designated by the army, which is specially managed, and recruited prostitutes are subject to regular medical examinations.
Second, it is okay to find a fixed target on your own, but there is a risk that the other party will conceal your physical condition and cause infection.
Third, it is most inappropriate to go to unknown and informal places in the local area to look for flowers and willows, and the risk of disease is the highest.
Fourth, under any circumstances, it is not advisable to go into battle directly, and a small rubber umbrella is a solid and reliable protection, even if it is not pleasant.
Fifth, once there are related symptoms, do not hide them because you are worried about your face, you must seek medical attention immediately, early detection, early treatment and early recovery.
Well, it's quite well thought out.
On this night, when Zhou Changfeng was about to go to dinner, Xiao Li rushed to tell him that someone had asked to see him.
"Who?"
"It's an American, and this is a letter from him, saying that he is inviting you out for a meal."
He took the letter and tore it open, revealing a fixed check for five hundred dollars and a business card.
Philip Williams?
Juchvid Import & Export Services?
What did a foreign businessman want to do when he privately invited the commander of the first part of the occupation army?
Zhou Changfeng didn't want to go at first, but soon wavered, because these days are monotonous and boring, why don't you go and take a look?
In order to ensure your own safety, you must decide where to eat dinner.
So he picked a random Italian restaurant on the map, and then set off with a squad of guards.
Since it would take more time for the other party to come over after receiving the news, he casually ordered a macaroni pad to pad his stomach.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Philip, who hurried to the second floor, locked on to the perimeter wind by the window on the left.
"Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, I'm glad you accepted the invitation."
It's not so much a joy as an unexpected one-time meeting that I haven't seen before, but I'm invited for the first time.
Looking at the young American who was no more than thirty years old in a suit and leather shoes, speaking fluent Chinese with a Zhejiang accent, Zhou Changfeng stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said casually: "There is an old Chinese saying that 'nothing is to go to the Three Treasures Palace', so... Is there anything Mr. Philip is looking for me? ”
Because Zhou was too active to accept the invitation, this made Philip misjudge the Ming army officer in front of him.
He planned to get acquainted with each other for a while, and then slowly test whether the other party was willing to resell the materials together.
"In your country, the income of officers is not low, but I think there is never too much money, may I ask Mr. Lieutenant Colonel that you want a thicker wallet?"
Good guys, get straight to the point, huh? Do I have someone who does bad things?
Although Zhou Changfeng remained silent, he couldn't help but doubt himself.
"What do you want? Intelligence? ”
Hearing this, Philip waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, I have no connection with the military of my country, I just want to buy your army's supplies." ”
Oh?
Zhou Changfeng wondered why there was such a stupid agent before, it was like having no brains, he invited himself out openly, just like Bai Qi, it turned out to be a second-class dealer who resold military supplies to make the difference.
"Did you come out alone in this business?"
"I'll tell you the truth, my father ran a company in Seattle, and I went to China alone and failed, so I started this business in Tokyo."
In just ten seconds, he thought a lot, and then suddenly came up with a long-term plan.
After chatting happily for a while, both of them got acquainted with each other.
Zhou Changfeng, who looked like usual, cut a small piece of steak and asked casually, "What should I do when I start a new company in the United States?" ”
"Different provinces have different laws, where do you mean Mr. Lieutenant Colonel?"
"New Mexico and Tennessee."
Philip, whose face was full of puzzlement, wondered: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you may not know the United States, these two provinces are very poor and not suitable for business. ”
"I'm just asking." Zhou Changfeng said with a smile.
Not in business, of course, because the Manhattan Project's main manufacturing and processing bases are known to be in New Mexico and Tennessee.
