"Do you guys have any brains? Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?" Jiang Ning, who was frowning, asked in a cold voice.
"Sir, sir, we are just not convinced... We have long been unhappy with these guys showing off their power."
"Why are you holding back your dissatisfaction until now and taking action? Aren't you three getting into trouble yourself?"
Military law clearly stipulates that military policemen who violate the law are guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be increased by one level; officers and soldiers who refuse to cooperate are despising military law, and the crime will also be increased by one level.
The original intention of the two military policemen was to dissuade and stop illegal activities, which was completely reasonable. However, the other party obstructed law enforcement and committed two major crimes: verbal abuse and violent resistance.
Originally, it would be fine if he was stopped, and at most he would be given a pack of cigarettes as a "salute" to the two military policemen, but now it doesn't end well.
Later, several more military police reinforcements arrived and handcuffed the three soldiers of the Fourth Division. The dejected three were escorted into the truck and then slowly drove to the location of the General Military Office.
"At least it's three years and a hundred sticks, and now my butt is blooming. We have to make people hate us so much that we would rather take action like this." A military police sergeant sighed a few words, and then he also sat on the The sidecar motorcycle left.
It feels good to be impulsive for a while, but when you calm down, you will regret it. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, otherwise what meaning does the law have?
Jiang Ning looked at Xiaosong Molizi on the side. Their eyes met, and the latter quickly looked away and lowered his head.
"Let's go and take care of the wound."
There are no antibiotics these days, and the available antibacterial drug sulfa is not yet widely available. A small trauma may cause infection, and eventually sepsis will kill you.
Of course, Molizi doesn't understand Chinese. She only graduated from St. Mary's Church Elementary School and doesn't even know many Chinese characters. In fact, if you are in a government-run school in Japan, then Chinese characters and ancient poetry are compulsory subjects.
Helpless, Jiang Ning took out the notebook he carried with him and wrote a few words and made a few gestures before she understood the meaning.
Since we were going to Zachary General Hospital, it didn't hurt to take one more person with us.
In Komatsu Moriko's view, this young officer's off-white collar badge is really unique.
In the past half month, she had seen dark green, lilac, and jet black, but this was the first time she had seen off-white.
Different from the pure white that gives people a sense of nobility and purity, the off-white with a hint of milky yellow makes people feel softer and warmer, just like her current state of mind.
The motorcycle with a sidecar made a whirring sound and headed back the way she came.
Zachary General Hospital, founded by two French doctors, was originally just a private clinic, but after more than thirty years of development, it has become one of the largest hospitals in the Tokyo Public Settlement.
Because the field hospital focuses more on trauma care, more than a dozen seriously injured patients from the 1st Marine Regiment were transferred here to receive more comprehensive treatment.
Three people suffered from bacteremia due to traumatic infection, four suffered from severe pneumonia, one suffered from acute pancreatitis, one suffered from acute hepatitis, two suffered from severe parasitic disease, and two suffered from extensive burns. All of them were highly dangerous and fatal diseases.
If we estimate based on past treatment effectiveness, we would be thankful to be able to survive a quarter of the time.
Nurses walked back and forth carrying trays containing medicines. They wore blue-gray clothes with white aprons on top. Their hair was tied behind their heads and covered with white headscarves.
Jiang Ning, who looked solemn, walked through the hospital beds and finally stopped outside the special severe burn ward. Patients with large burns all over their bodies are extremely susceptible to infection and are not allowed to enter. Even medical staff must be carefully disinfected and sterilized.
Through the glass window, he could see the two bandaged patients sleeping on the hospital bed.
As a military doctor, he was more aware of the dangers of the situation. Although he had experienced it countless times, he still couldn't help but feel sad when faced with a situation where he was unable to save his life. The deep feeling of powerlessness made him feel as if his heart was being held by an invisible hand. Tight.
"Mr. Lieutenant, I'm sorry to inform you that the condition of one of the pneumonia patients has worsened again. He may not survive tonight." A middle-aged French doctor with a stethoscope on his chest said solemnly.
The accompanying hospital translator repeated this sentence. After hearing this, Jiang Ning asked: "Have you tried your best? Have you tried to 'express the lack of disease'?"
"Since we agreed to admit him, we must do our best. Now all three sulfonamide drugs are ineffective and there is nothing we can do. May God bless him."
After sulfa drugs are used for a period of time, bacteria will develop drug resistance, and it is a special type of cross-resistance. When a certain type of sulfa drugs fails, all other types of sulfa drugs will lose effectiveness and become ineffective.
"Life and death are impermanent." Jiang Ning sighed in a low voice.
A few moments.
After filling out the investigation information against the roster, he walked down the steps depressedly.
Downstairs, Komatsu Moliko, who had been debrided and bandaged by the nurse, saw him coming down, so she quickly stood up, bowed and said "thank you" in a strange Chinese tone.
Because of his heavy heart, Jiang Ning just nodded and walked outside the building to prepare to drive back to the station.
Only then did he remember the girl just now. Since her hands and knees were injured and she had difficulty walking, he might as well take her back along the way.
Because of the language barrier, he was speechless all the way, not to mention that Jiang Ning, who was in a depressed mood, didn't really want to talk.
The young girl's clear eyes soothed his depressed mood a little, making him feel better.
When he returned to the headquarters of the 1st Marine Regiment, he reported the previous incident to Zhou Changfeng, who was packing his personal belongings.
After hearing about the fight, Xie Wancheng was the first to complain: "This is the so-called lard that blinds the heart. I will regret it afterward."
Zhou Changfeng stared at a group photo and said casually: "As long as the sample size is large, all kinds of weird things will happen. Let everyone take a warning, don't think of yourself as too noble, and don't think of others as too low. No matter how you say it, it’s not like ancient times, and human rights still have to be taken into consideration.”
Xie Wancheng on the side muttered: "But in essence, one is rich and the other is cheap..."
Zhou Changfeng glanced at him, "Indeed, but superficial respect still has to be given. Most people are easily moved by this appearance, so it can significantly reduce hostility, with a small cost and big benefits. This is a sure profit. practice."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Ning, who was about to clasp his fists and leave, and asked, "Also, what's wrong with you? You look very sad."
The latter was silent for a few seconds and replied truthfully: "Those dozen or so sick and wounded patients are not optimistic. I'm afraid they will be difficult to treat... Well, it would be great if there really was a panacea in the world."
"There will be, and there should be hope within the next two years." Zhou Changfeng said with a smile: "After all, you are used to seeing casualties, why are you so depressed today?"
"There is a huge difference between dying from a battle injury and dying from a serious illness. I didn't have time to think too much during the war."
"Too."
Antibiotics are indeed one of the most important creations in human history. Antibiotics represented by them have increased the average life span of human beings by more than ten years. Human beings can finally stop worrying about being killed by some inconspicuous minor injuries and diseases. .
The story of the discovery of penicillin is well known. In addition to the climatic characteristics of the British Isles, Fleming's own personality and experience also played a big role, which made him notice his unintentional mistake-the green mold that appeared in the Petri dish killed Staphylococcus aureus died around.
Fleming subsequently published his findings in a paper titled "Experimental Discovery of the Potential Efficacy of Penicillin" in the British Journal of Pathology.
However, Fleming himself was only a doctor of medicine. He and his assistants had been unable to find a method to cultivate and purify penicillin on a large scale; at the same time, in mouse experiments, penicillin killed harmless bacterial colonies in the intestinal tract of mice, causing death. This led Fleming to discontinue his research on penicillin.
To this day, this discovery has not attracted people's attention. Some reasons are that the rapid development of sulfonamide antibacterial drugs in recent years has attracted the attention and enthusiasm of most people in related industries.
Historically, it was not until the eve of the war that Howard Florey and Ernst Chain from Oxford University accidentally discovered Fleming's paper published ten years ago. The two were intrigued and decided to study it together. This is the so-called characteristic of penicillin.
They quickly verified the amazing properties of penicillin and then set out to solve Fleming's insurmountable extraction and purification problems. They recruited many girls at very low wages to cultivate Penicillium in strange utensils such as bathtubs, bedpans, milk stirrers, empty cans, beakers, etc.
More importantly, biochemist Norman Heatley successfully extracted penicillin from the filtrate using a countercurrent system, finally giving people a glimmer of hope.
Is this series of processes really so difficult? That's not the case. The bigger reason is that the resources and energy these medical scientists can mobilize are limited. At the same time, because of the war, the British government has no time to spare.
The problem now is that Zhou Changfeng doesn't know if anyone in Ming Dynasty is engaged in similar work.
The Ming Dynasty was so big, with hundreds of colleges and universities, and countless hospitals and clinics. Maybe someone happened to read Fleming's paper and then tried to verify and solve the corresponding problems.
Moreover, there is no Internet and big data nowadays, so finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's okay to suggest it yourself, but that would be a bit surprising - you are a Qiu Ba, how can you still understand biomedicine?
It is reasonable to propose forward-looking weapons and equipment, but the span of biomedicine is still too large, and this cannot be fooled through "occasional self-study".
"Report, everything is ready. Sir, can we leave now?"
"Okay, let's go."
Although it was estimated at the time of departure that I would not be able to return until May or June, the actual situation was smoother than everyone expected.
The Second Army will probably continue to be stationed for a while, and then other units will come to take over.
So Zhou Changfeng tried to apply for a return leave the day before yesterday, and was approved without any suspense. Now he can legitimately leave the army and return to the capital for a five-day leave.
Many military officers prefer to fly in fighter jets or bombers when traveling. The former is faster and the latter is safer.
The same is true for Zhou Changfeng, but currently none of the Air Force's fighter fleets and bomber fleets have transfer missions, so he can only take a transport plane loaded with air mail.
The clouds were very high this evening, and the plane flew smoothly at a cruising altitude of about 4,000 meters, crossing the Daming Sea, also known as the East China Sea.
After approaching the land, the cargo plane transformed from the Youyun-2 passenger aircraft began to slowly descend in altitude, and finally broke through the clouds.
The plane's course was facing the sun in the western sky. Looking out through the round window, the coastline was directly below. Behind it was the sparkling sea reflected by the setting sun. In front of it was the vast Fucheng District of Shanghai.
Although the altitude was still over a thousand meters, Zhou Changfeng, who had good eyesight, could still see the outline of the huge battleship on the slipway of the shipyard.
One, two, three... The outlines of two battleships and two aircraft carriers are clearly visible, in addition to a series of other medium-sized battleships, such as light cruisers and seaplane carriers.
The Washington Naval Treaty has expired, and the Ming Dynasty Navy, which received additional budget under the War Readiness Act, has embarked on an ambitious construction plan - according to the tentative construction plan in the "Draft Draft for the Expansion and Construction of Naval Ships for War Preparation", nearly 80 ships of various sizes are planned. warships will be built one after another.
2 new 40,000-ton battleships, 3 14,000-ton light aircraft carriers, 2 25,000-ton aircraft carriers, 3 light cruisers, 16 destroyers, 4 minelayers, 4 minesweepers, 8 submarine hunting ships, 9 landing ships, and several small ships.
The United States on the other side of the ocean is also pursuing the same agenda. Once the famous "Second Vinson Act" is passed, the U.S. Navy will receive a budget of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars, expanding its size by at least 20% on the existing basis.
When half of the sun sank below the horizon, the cargo plane carrying Zhou landed at Gaoqiao Airport.
In order to give him a surprise, he did not send a telegram when he set off, so when someone from Zhou knocked on the door of Xia's house, Xia's father, mother, and Xia Xiaoshi thought it was a late postman.
"This postman is quite dedicated. He is still delivering letters when the sun is almost setting." Gao Lingling served the dishes while calling her daughter to open the door.
Then when she brought the pot of winter melon and pork ribs soup to the dinner table, she heard Xia Xiaoshi's exclamation from outside.
Because the first thing he said was to return to China in June, and the letters he wrote these days did not mention that he would come back early, Zhou Changfeng, who had been an "uninvited guest", was really shocked to Xia Xiaoshi.
Her eyes were full of surprise, her mouth opened slightly, and after a few seconds she said in surprise: "Sir?"
"Everything is going well, and these days are pretty stable, so I took a leave of absence and came back for a few days." The smiling Zhou Changfeng patted her on the shoulder, then grabbed her hand and walked into the courtyard.
"Ah? Then...are you still going after that?"
"Of course, I estimate that I will have to stay for a few more months to wait for the rotation. I can't go into details about the rest."
"Um."
A breakup is better than a wedding, and the hard work of teaching and the fatigue of waiting for opportunities are almost gone.
Dinner is dinner, but the world between two is the most comfortable and comfortable.
So after having a meal, they immediately left the Xia family and returned to their own small house.
Ever since, this was destined to be a night of working overtime.
