Waronga Province, East Africa,

"Alas, look at Maurice, there's a snake in the tree ahead,." An East African soldier shouted.

"Pol, you've been bitten! That's hopeless! Pull it down and bury it. ”

"Morris, you bastard, that's not what you joke about, I'm just repeating the facts." Pol yelled at his comrades.

"Okay, stop arguing, where is the snake?" The squad leader asked.

"Squad leader, if you look at the branch below the tree in front of you on the left, my eyesight is top-notch, and I can see this green guy hiding under the leaves at a glance."

Following the direction that Pol said, seeing the appearance of the snake clearly, the squad leader loaded the bayonet on the gun, dragged the tail of the gun and gently picked it up, and a green African tree snake fell from above to the ground, and the frightened African tree snake disappeared from everyone's eyes as soon as it slipped away.

"It's good that it's not a mamba, otherwise it would be a bit of trouble to solve." The squad leader said.

The African tree snake is a venomous snake with a posterior groove tooth, its detoxification volume is low, and the poison injection efficiency is not very good, so the danger is small, of course, since it is a poisonous snake, so East African soldiers still choose to act cautiously when dealing with it.

As for the mamba, it is a common venomous snake in East Africa, and the black mamba is the most famous, but the black mamba generally inhabits grasslands.

The reason why East African fighters are afraid of the black mamba is not because of the toxicity of the black mamba, but because the black mamba is too aggressive.

If other African snakes are not provoked, they generally do not take the initiative to attack people, the black mamba belongs to the kind that chases people to bite, and it takes great skill to catch the black mamba in East Africa, its speed is too fast compared to other snakes, and the East African green mamba, which also belongs to the Mamba snake genus, is not as extreme as the black mamba.

As for toxicity, the lethality rate of venomous snakes in this era is very high, and if they are bitten, they are basically resigned to fate.

East Africa is not without action, and in Mombasa it has hired venomous snake researchers and biologists to set up a research institute specializing in the antivenom of African venomous snakes such as the black mamba and the bulging-bellied viper.

Hehingen, Hohenzollernberg.

"Your Highness, why don't we bring in medical talents directly from Europe, but from the East, I heard them say that the medicine of the East is more like a witch doctor in the Middle Ages."

Tom didn't understand Ernst's recent introduction of medical talents from the East, not that Tom was against it, but that the project cost money, and since it cost money, it was necessary to be cautious, but Ernst's ideas were sometimes wild, so Tom felt that it was better to be sure.

In fact, East Africa used to acquire medical knowledge all over the world, but it didn't cost much, and even took it for nothing, and this time Ernst spent a lot of money to recruit medical personnel, books, and effective prescriptions from the Far East.

"Tom, the reason is very simple, the East does not rule out some people under the banner of Chinese medicine, but more of it has been systematically handed down for more than 3,000 years, he has been tested for a longer time than in Europe, and the Oriental people have left richer historical materials in terms of culture, and most of our parchment scrolls are used to record the Bible."

The existence of oriental medicine is certainly not so short, but Ernst has his own judgment that a large number of practical documents in the Far East appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, recorded and disseminated in the form of bamboo slips, especially the rise of private learning, a large number of intellectuals (including medical talents) wrote books and lectures, systematically sorted out the experience of predecessors, and at the same time boldly innovated, and a large number of bamboo slips survived, so that the entire medical system was continuously inherited and developed in the form of words, rather than word of mouth.

Of course, the fallacy may exist, but more effects were experimented on in that land, and those that didn't work would have been eliminated long ago.

The time of the decline of oriental medicine was actually before the Ming Dynasty, and medicine in the Ming Dynasty had begun to enter the stage of conformism, and it was not until the Western Industrial Revolution developed to a certain stage, that is, this time period, that modern medicine appeared.

It was also at this time that Ernst had begun to exert its strength, ready to kick traditional medicine off the throne.

However, Ernst did not dare to try the current European medicine, and he never knew whether the poison or the antidote they had developed, especially since all kinds of drugs were often used as "panacea".

"But Your Highness, how can you guarantee that we are not liars summoned from the Far East, we don't know much about Eastern medicine." Tom wondered.

"It's simple, we just need to let their government make it easy for us, let Ambassador Richard personally go and discuss this matter with their top leaders, have official endorsements, I believe this matter will be simpler, it's better to communicate with their hospitals, and let our people get their medical prescriptions and related books in the Far East, North Korea, Japan, Vietnam."

With the cooperation of the government, at least a large number of scammers can be screened out.

Ernst's petty abacus was crackling, and his purpose was to steal their medical formulas from the countries of the Far East and then patent them in the West, a meal that Ernst would rather eat in East Africa than cheap Japan and South Korea.

Anyway, East Africa is a country of immigrants, theoretically speaking, the achievements of the ancestors of immigrants in the Far East are also the achievements of the ancestors of East Africans, what is yours is mine, mine is still mine, and there is no need to feel guilty in this regard, we all know that East Africa has a short history, and East Africa will not be cheeky to preempt the historical naming rights.

Ernst continued: "In this plan for the introduction of medical care from the Far East, we should also pay attention to the quack doctors who use opium to cure all diseases, and must be vigilant not to let them enter East Africa. ”

"Your Highness, the biggest problem with this work is that our people don't know much about Eastern medicine." Tom said.

"So we have to start more from the official, but also have our own judgment, some mistakes don't matter, when the future of East African medicine develops, we can just screen the right ones from the wealth we have collected." Ernst said.

This is like a high-rate game, if you can find a top prescription like XX Baiyao, it is blood to earn, it doesn't matter if you can't find it, anyway, you won't lose overall.

Of course, ERNST will also invest in modern medical research in the future, and for now, pick up ready-made ones from traditional medicine.

As for the modern medicine in East Africa, the education system has not yet developed, and there is no way to develop, or it is better to develop in Europe, after all, Europe needs talents, technology and technology, and the equipment is also the most complete.

In the early stage of East Africa, Ernst vigorously promoted oriental medicine and preemptively registered its traditional medicine patents, so that later the Far Eastern countries privately gave East Africa the name of "stealing the country", and the most broken defense was Japan, because East Africa also registered a large number of traditional medical achievements unique to Japan, as for North Korea, it claimed that East African medicine was developed by relying on Korean traditional medicine, and the source of East African medicine was North Korea, and it was quite proud.

Of course, East Africans will not agree, especially the "old Chinese medicine doctors" in East Africa, who have repeatedly emphasized that this is the fruit of our Eastern ancestors, and East Africa has the right to inheritance.
