Morasso is the son of Grandma Franz's sister and has little to do with the royal family. It's just that he is about the same age as Franz, and he has made many military exploits in the army. Coupled with his good character and hereditary earl title, he has become one of the few close friends of the king.
Now with Mariana, Morazo's status has been further improved, and he has reached the point where he can talk to the king about everything.
This change was intuitively reflected on the way back after the wedding.
Ordinary open-top wedding carriages can only seat two people, usually the newlyweds share one. The king and queen have their own private carriages, and others can do whatever they want. Before getting into the carriage, Elizabeth suddenly suggested that she and her sister should be alone to reminisce about the past. Franz knew she was in a bad mood and agreed directly.
According to normal interpersonal relationships, Morasso would definitely be closer to Ignatz, and the king, who was diligent in government affairs, would have a private chat with Viscount Clichy, who occupies a seat in the House of Representatives.
But in fact, Franz uncharacteristically pulled Morasso into his car.
This is a large carriage that can seat six people. In addition to Franz and Morasso, there is also a palace guard chief responsible for the king's safety and two accompanying guards: "Chief guard, please be sure to follow the queen." Be by your side to ensure her safety."
"yes."
"By the way, please get Mr. Laszlo into the car."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
This strange distribution method did not end, but further affected Kawei. As the "personal doctor" who came here with Morasso, he was supposed to go with Ignatz, but in the end he was pulled up by Morasso.
Morasso handed Carvey's cane and surgical instrument box to the two guards behind the car: "Let's go home~"
In addition to the two guards at the rear of the car, there were four men with very different personalities sitting in the center four-seat seat.
Morazo was wearing a white officer's uniform with seven or eight medals hanging on his chest, but he did not behave like a soldier. Laszlo is dressed in the traditional attire of a wealthy businessman, a brown vest, a black coat and tight-fitting breeches. There are not many decorations on his body but they are all exquisite.
The young king, who was under 40 years old, was wearing a dark blue military uniform. Although he was ordinary in stature, he was very heroic and exuded the majestic aura of a king from the inside out.
Kawei didn't have time to learn their aristocratic etiquette, and he didn't bother to learn it. Even if he asked the earl to help him pay hundreds of crowns, it still couldn't cover up his civilian temperament.
Fortunately, the king did not value these and showed no disdain. Of course, he would not be as enthusiastic and generous as Morasso. He just regarded Kawei as an ordinary person, and the only thing he was interested in was Morazo's reason for inviting him into the car.
"Franz, that's Kavi."
Morasso smiled and introduced to the king: "You have always said that I allowed you to see Elizabeth, but if we get to the bottom of it, it was actually this young doctor who personally brought your beautiful and charming wife back to Vienna."
Kawei was confused by what he heard and didn't know what the logical relationship was, so he shook hands with Franz in a daze.
"So you are Mr. Carvey Hines." Franz said with a smile on his face, "I heard that you cured the count's disease."
Kawei did not dare to take credit randomly: "All of this is God's blessing. I was just helping."
"Haha~" Franz laughed, "God wants to lock him in the confessional and repent, how could he bless him. Mr. Carvey is so humble, and Morasso wrote the entire treatment process in his diary. It was shown to me a few days ago, and it was indeed very bold.”
"It made you laugh."
"Without you, the count would not be able to survive. Without the count, Mariana would not come to Vienna to get married." The king helped clarify the relationship, "And without Mariana..."
Suddenly, Franz looked at Laszlo who was standing aside: "By the way, Mr. Laszlo, I remember that your throat was also cured by a doctor named Kavi. Could it be..."
"You are right, Your Majesty."
Austro-Hungarian cooperation is not only Austria's current national policy, but also a political achievement that the Queen has always wanted to help share and complete. If Laszlo's bond is broken, although the two sides will not lose the opportunity to cooperate, they will definitely lose a lot of benefits and bring more difficulties to future integration.
"Mr. Carvey, thank you."
Kawei's face was flattered, and he was relieved in his heart. Thinking of the chain reactions brought about by rescuing the two of them, he deserves to be grateful:
"Mr. Laszlo's time was more about luck. I just helped correct the position of the horn tube at the end. The Earl is even more grateful for his good health. If it had happened to others, it would have taken more than half a month to recover. "
"Mr. Carvey is still humble," Franz said. "In the army, I have seen many soldiers with festering wounds, but they are not as easy as you say."
"Some new approaches are really needed."
Hearing these words, Morasso felt a chill in his lower right abdomen. He quickly adjusted his sitting position and put his hands protectively on his groin: "Stop talking, it's making my area start to hurt again."
"Is it really that exaggerated? You previously proposed that this debridement technique should be promoted within the military."
"The method is good, but the process is really hard to compliment..."
Seeing the king's interest, Kawei was unwilling to miss this opportunity: "Your Majesty, surgery has developed rapidly. Now it has entered a new chapter. Wound ulceration is no longer a serious condition that cannot be solved. This is from Crimea This new method has been tried since the beginning of the Asian War, and the effect is very good."
Franz sat upright, "But I heard that the chance of ulceration of surgical incisions in Vienna Hospital is still very high."
"This kind of data takes time to update. The report Your Majesty is reading should be from last year." Kawei explained, "If you can come to the Municipal General Hospital and take a look, you can discover the effects of this new technology. "
"What about other hospitals?"
"Surgeons at other hospitals don't believe in new theories and techniques, so their wards remain the same."
"Mr. Kawei, the top doctors in the country who can work in Vienna's surgical theater are all the best. Why do they oppose this new and effective technology?"
"The emergence of new theories and new technologies has both motivation and resistance, and it will definitely bring doubts and distrust from the outside world." Carvey looked at Morasso and said, "But, Your Majesty, science pays attention to objective facts, and this The facts are sitting in front of you.”
Franz knew very well that with a wound as serious and festering as Morasso's, it would be a miracle to survive.
He took a deep breath, looked at the Earl who was in good health, and nodded: "The ulceration of the incision is related to the logistics support and care of the army. I really need to listen to your opinion..."
Kawei never thought that a high-ranking king could be more humble and studious than surgeons who were well-read in medical books. He had been listening carefully since he started talking about the relationship between microorganisms and incision ulcers.
"Your Majesty the King, medical care is related to the health of every citizen." Kawei said, "So in principle, social medical care should be the same as the military's logistical medical care, and it needs to be mandatory."
Franz was a little surprised: "Could there be differences among doctors?"
"The speed of medical development and update is too fast." Kawei explained, "There will always be many people who can't keep up with the pace, and now it seems that such people still account for the majority."
This sentence seemed to touch something in Franz's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is true of medicine, so why not be true of government affairs..."
Obviously, there are too many things that need to be solved urgently in front of Franz. Changing the medical system and popularizing disinfection and nursing work are not on his work schedule. What is more important now is still the relationship with Hungary.
Laszlo is Hungarian, but with such a large industry, he has to understand the languages of surrounding countries.
Hungary was originally a vassal state of Austria. Laszlo learned German from his father's business since he was a child. According to etiquette, since a civilian from his vassal country understands German, he should choose standard Austrian German when communicating with the king. This is the most basic respect for the leader.
But Franz started the conversation in Hungarian before him. It seemed to be a convenience for Laszlo, but in fact, he didn't want others to hear the conversation.
Of course, Kavi didn't understand Hungarian, and he understood the purpose of doing this. He turned his face sensibly and looked out the window at the Danube River. There is still a long way to go from the manor on the outskirts of Earl City, so why not take in the scenery along the way.
As for the business with Laszlo, there will be lunch and dinner later, and there is still time.
Since traveling to Austria, Kawei has been busy with work and has no time to rest. The carriage leaving the church will go west along the Danube River, which is a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coast.
The deserted spring sun is reflected on the Danube River passing through the city. This beautiful scenery is Vienna's most beautiful business card.
Sitting upside down on the carriage, in front of Kawei's eyes was an oil painting that kept moving forward, with a yacht in the distance and a human figure in the distance. Although it is not as good as the "skylight above and below, a vast expanse of blue" in "Yueyang Tower", it can still be called a beautiful scenery.
But for him, who was used to seeing the great rivers and mountains of his motherland, this river seemed too delicate after all, and it only gave him a little petty air.
On the contrary, the various types of music that appear from time to time on both sides of the river bring more fun to the Danube, which is refreshing to listen to. It also reminds Kawei of the grace and melodiousness of "The Blue Danube"...emmm, Calculating the time now, it seems that it is not far away from Strauss Jr.'s formal creation and completion of this great waltz.
Let’s go to the concert hall to try the live version when I have the opportunity in the future.
The monotonous sound of horse hooves and the repeated Hungarian words in his ears made Kavi's eyelids close together. When he woke up again, the poetic feeling before his eyes was gone. The Danube is still the same Danube, but the leisurely crowd has become restless.
The tourist boat in the distance was docking, and there were screams from the shore.
"Stop the car quickly!" Franz shouted to the driver, "There seems to be something wrong there."
One of the two guards jumped up: "Your Majesty, let me go and take a look."
"Um."
At this time, Kawei's mind had just turned on, and he was in a trance: "What's wrong?"
"Something happened by the river." Morasso stood up and looked around. "They are all looking at the river. There are people everywhere. Wait, the people on the boat seem to have brought fishhooks, as if they are salvaging something... ....”
The guard who went to inquire quickly brought the latest news: "Your Majesty, someone fell into the water on the boat, and they are rescuing him."
Franz raised his head and glanced at the bustling crowd: "Then why are you still standing there? Go and save people!"
"Yes." Another guard also got out of the car.
At this time, Morasso jumped over the car door and took off his officer's coat: "There are no fences on both sides of the river bank. Let them maintain order. If someone falls into the river again, things will only get worse. The river water in spring is too high." Ordinary people can't stand it when it gets cold, and saving people requires sufficient physical strength, so I still have to save people."
"You just recovered..."
"It's okay." Morazo smiled, "Compared to winter, the water temperature now is nothing."
The count said it very casually, but Kawei didn't dare to be casual. He quickly opened the car door and jumped out of the car. He quickly picked up his surgical instrument box from the guard's seat, and before leaving, he didn't even bother to report to Franz: "I'll go take a look too, maybe I can help."
"Please be sure to keep an eye on the count!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
...
The person who fell into the river was a child playing in a boat. Perhaps due to carelessness, he accidentally fell into the river. Perhaps because of his small body, although the fishhook protruding from the side of the boat caught the man and prevented him from sinking, he was unable to be rescued aboard because of the slippage. 【1】
"This kid can't swim~"
"Their fishing hook skills are too bad. If you give it to me, I guarantee that I can pull this guy out of the water as soon as possible."
"Oh my god, how long has he been in the water?"
"I'm afraid it will be a few minutes."
"It's over..."
Morazo was so fast that he separated from the crowd and reached the river bank immediately. While asking about the situation, he took off his shirt and breeches. When Kawi followed, he had already jumped into the water. The courageous act of righteousness always quickly infects everyone, and soon the second and third enthusiastic citizens followed suit.
The Danube seems calm, but the current is very fast. The highest temperature in Vienna in March does not exceed ten degrees, and the river water is extremely cold. Even the physically strong Morasso cannot stand such low temperatures and must make preparations in advance.
While the Count was struggling to save the man, Kavi had collected a pile of shawls and blankets from passers-by.
"Great, we're rescued! We're finally rescued!"
"Bring the bamboo pole over here, quickly!"
"A few more people can help!"
With several shouts, praises and applause coming from around him, the child who fell into the water was brought to the river bank by Morazo and two others. Although his body was still trembling, the count couldn't help but joke: "Kavi, you really should go down with me. The water of the Danube River is so comfortable."
Morazo's rescue has ended, but Kavi's has just begun.
He wrapped the shawls and blankets around the three of them, then squatted down to help take off the children's clothes: "Hurry up and get the boat to the shore. It's too cold. I need a brazier!"
