Everyone can tell that Edward just wants to poach Kawei, and belittling the media is just his method.
Although it is a temporary solution, for doctors who particularly value their reputation, sometimes it can indeed play a certain role.
But anyone who knows Kawei knows that he is already tied to this empire. Firstly, he is a student of the University of Vienna, and his academic status and title are all here; secondly, his pharmaceutical factory is operating normally, and relocation will not only affect production but also require time, money and a lot of energy, and Laszlo and Chino may not agree.
Later, several drug patents will be involved. Except for methylene blue, the rest belong to him alone.
Unless it is really necessary, there is no way Kawei can leave here.
"Well? I do want Dr. Kawei to go to Paris, but it's just to attend some academic seminars. If possible, I also hope to do some surgical demonstrations for other doctors, especially for mature cesarean sections. Just communicate with each other. Communication is not what you think."
Edward was eating duck meat and looked at the others in surprise. He could only change his strategy again: "After all, he is also a military doctor appointed by King Franz. How could I dare to do such a thing."
"It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Karl kicked Edinson's boots with his toes, but turned his face towards Edward, "Doctor Carvey is really too important to the military medical office. Director Edinson cares about the medical level of the army. , so it’s a bit... haha, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
He removed the areas that might cause discomfort, and the table finally returned to its harmonious state. But after this tossing, everyone realized that after all, this was a dinner with political intentions, and everything Edward did was to seek the interests of France.
According to the original plan, efforts would be made to win over Kawi in the first half. Later in the meal, he would ask Edinson to check on the military doctor.
But now that things have reached this point, it seems that there is no more questions to ask.
After four main courses, Alphonse prepared a hot plate of baked escargots and a cold plate of rock lobster in mayonnaise aspic mixed with lettuce, which he paired with a white wine made with woodruff and lemon juice. The flavor is unique, but the banquet is still peaceful.
The chef will make adjustments to the dishes at any time to meet the customer's requirements and feelings. Alphonse was ready at any time after seeing the scene just now.
Sure enough, when preparing the next vegetables, the clerk went to the kitchen to convey Edward's intention to shorten the meal time. The reason was simply "need to rest". Alphonse didn't ask any more questions and quickly gave his own plan.
Barbecue and vegetables are combined into grilled vegetables, mainly using parsnips, Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, runner beans, and cauliflower as ingredients. After being briefly grilled, pour gravy over it and serve with cheddar cheese sauce.
For dessert, the savory taste of foie gras soufflé was replaced with caviar iced melon, followed by two desserts consisting of vanilla cream salad and porcini soufflé, and finally frozen cheese and caramelized orange.
"This orange is the Sun King's favorite dessert."
Alphonse personally put fresh oranges on everyone's plates, then brought a pot of hot caramel and poured it on the oranges with a small spoon. The whole table made a sizzling sound: "The caramel is in the caramel." Mixed with spices such as thyme, bay, and olives, the best time to eat is when the caramel begins to cool and harden..."
The delicious desserts did not restore their interest, and the dinner ended hastily after more than two hours.
After seeing Kavi off, Edward, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but sigh and asked the clerk beside him: "Am I too impatient just now?"
The secretary hesitated to speak. It would be useless to talk about it at this point: "It's true, but it's no wonder the ambassador. Who knew that Dr. Edinson would suddenly jump out? He really has no experience in serving as an official."
"Didn't he have a quarrel with Dr. Kawei before and drive him away?"
"Who knows, the Austrians are both conservative and eccentric, and no one can figure out their thoughts." The clerk did not want to mention the matter again and said with a smile, "Mr. Edward, I think this is a good opportunity. , how about we go now?"
"Now..." Edward still wanted to finish his business first, "The letter to Dr. Wilpaio hasn't been finished yet."
"The letter is not urgent." The secretary explained, "Now that there is no possibility of Kawi going to France, this letter can only be a simple discussion of future surgical exchanges."
"Shura Martial God"
What he said was true, but Edward always felt like he was being led by others: "I wonder why you are more excited than me?"
"I can't help it... Hehe." The clerk began to show off his ability to do things again, "You only need to pick up people at Hoyntz Street, and then walk a little way north to get there. That little hotel last time.”
"It's not big, but it's very clean."
The sweet, crisp and juicy taste of oranges still lingered in Edward's mouth, but his mind was already filled with the smell of woman's perfume and the fragments of the last time he was happy.
He has been abroad all year round, and his work involves relations and exchanges between countries. He urgently needs to release his pressure: "Okay, since the dinner ends early, I will listen to you once and go back early."
...
There were two carriages leaving the embassy.
Because of the different directions, one car carried Carvey and Alphonse, heading west, while the other carried Edinson and Foreign Secretary Carr, heading north.
Carl and Edinson were old acquaintances. If the latter hadn't devoted himself to medicine, he would have been able to find a good job under the king now. This time the director of the Military Medical Department was an opportunity to switch from medicine to politics, because neither others nor Edinson himself felt that he would be successful in medicine.
"Brother is still too excited, he's just a young doctor." Karl took a puff of cigarette, looked out the window at the neighborhood, and said, "And even if he really wants to do this, there are many people who are opposed to it, so it won't be your turn. Get ahead.”
"You don't understand." Edinson's medical skills are not very good, but he is good at reading people. "Based on my understanding of Kawei, this guy might really dare to go to Paris."
"No way." Karl was a little surprised, "His job and title are both in Vienna."
"For such a capable young surgeon, who has a unique skill in his hand, he still has to worry about his job?" Edinson said with a smile. "As for the title, with his current worth, it is only a matter of time before he goes to Paris to buy a baron. After all, , he talks all about science and technology, but he has no loyalty to serve the empire!"
"But he was still called into the army."
"Forced."
"I heard that a lot of medicines were donated?"
"Haha, do you mean donating 10% and selling for 90%?" Edinson said, "With his status, he shouldn't get involved in the drug purchase."
"After what you said, it seems to make sense." Karl blew out two smoke rings and continued, "But I still said the same thing. No matter what, you should not be the one to oppose it in the end."
“Kavi’s ability to move is so strong. Ingenac, Waterman, Morazo, Laszlo, and even His Majesty the Emperor all helped him climb up. He took every step very solidly. "
"So some people are against it. Why are you trying to touch this hot potato?" Karl was a little angry. "The other party is a representative of the third party. If this matter affects the relationship between France and Austria, how will it be resolved in the future?"
"Okay, okay, I'm reflecting on it."
Edinson also knew that he had done something a bit out of the ordinary in this matter, and he could wait for Kawei to express his attitude before speaking. Or you can do something even more extreme, just stay silent and just eat a big meal.
He knew how to do it more legally and reliably, but he just couldn't help it.
The quarrel with Kawei more than half a month ago was just to fight for peace, but he went too far. He even attributed the death of anesthetized people to the ignorance of doctors, which was almost the same as Semmelweis's words at the beginning.
But despite the quarrel, Edinson did not deny Kawei's ability. On the contrary, it was because he had seen his surgery up close that Edinson was so jealous.
Because Kawei has what he has been lacking the most all along, talent.
Because of jealousy, he would choose to send Kawei to the stretcher team. Anyway, it's not really a first line, and you can basically come back alive. As for whether you lose arms or legs, it depends on luck.
But judging from the current situation, Edinson has indeed gone too far, and it is easy to force some rebellious psychology. This is especially true after Edward has thrown out a lot of scented bait.
...
On the other side, Kavi and Alphonse were in the same car, taking the path leading to the Roche Shuart restaurant.
The two hadn't seen each other for many days, and when they met again, the person they talked about the most, apart from surgical incisions and daily habits, was the missing German baron. Although Alphonse kept saying that he had given up and had a peaceful mind, Kawei could still feel a hint of disappointment from his tone and demeanor.
"Maybe someone has already taken care of him." Mick's figure appeared in front of Kawei's eyes, "This guy won't live long."
"Forget it." Alphonse changed his mood and still wanted to talk more about tonight's dishes. "I'm exhausted. Mr. Edward is in a hurry. The whole table of dishes has only been prepared since four o'clock. How about it?" ,its not bad, right?"
Kawei didn't have much pursuit in life. No matter how delicious the food was, it was just delicious to him. He couldn't feel much excitement and could only nod perfunctorily and said: "Not bad, not bad."
"I don't know how the restaurant is going." Alphonse couldn't help but worry, "Haggis is not easy to make."
"Haggis?"
"It's a British meal. If the dinner was originally served in a restaurant, I wanted to bring it to the table as a savory snack." Alphonse explained, "The taste is quite strong, which will definitely make them remember this food. .”
Good guy, serve British food to the diplomatic ambassador who is used to French food...
Kawei was not interested in food, but Alphonse became more and more enthusiastic as he talked:
"That thing has to be stuffed into the cow's stomach with sheep's intestines, oatmeal, diced onions and fat scraped from the kidneys. Simply sew the stomach pouch and cook it until it becomes hard. Then take it out and cut it into thin slices. Drizzle it with whiskey and finish it off with prepared radish and potato puree, and it will be delicious.”
"Sounds interesting."
"If Mr. Fernand hadn't had a successful operation and started working again, I wouldn't have known where to find such good sheep intestines, lamb loin and beef stomach."
Speaking of Fernand, Kawei thought of the adrenaline he needed to do. These days I have been in the anatomy room thinking about the surgery, but I left this thing behind: "I asked him to rest for a few more days, why did he return to work so quickly."
"It's probably to make money. It's hard to be a butcher now. The large farms he used to cooperate with have started to run their own retail businesses. And..." Alphonse glanced out the window and hesitated. "Oh, he is really unlucky too."
"And what?"
"...I don't know why, but his wife seems to have returned to her hometown in Hungary."
Things developed very suddenly, but it seemed to be reasonable. Considering Fernand's medical history, everything can be easily explained.
First there were bladder stones, then bilateral breast hyperplasia appeared, and the pills were swollen and painful. Then liver problems were discovered, and finally it was confirmed to be cancer. From diagnosis to treatment, and now even post-surgery recovery, Fernan's little thing will definitely lose its original function.
Of course, everything is Kawei's guess. It is also possible that the two of them were not getting along, or for other reasons.
Every family has its own problems. Kawei, the surgeon in charge, has no choice but to meddle in his own business. All he can do is buy more kidneys: "It's too late today. I'll go see him early tomorrow morning. It's just right." Help me change the medicine and buy some things.”
The carriage dropped Alphonse down in front of the restaurant, then plunged into the dark street and rushed straight to the Municipal General Hospital.
The body was in place, and Kavi needed to get to work immediately for the old marshal.
Compared with mastectomy and reconstruction, it is more reliable to turn to Ingenac for bone and joint surgery. The remaining assistants are Herman, who often deals with fractures and trauma, and Damirgang, who has good surgical skills.
From the surgical incision approach to the internal structural layering, Kawei needs to figure out the key points of the operation one by one. As for the final surgical site, the intervertebral disc, Kawei needed to choose a suitable surgical method for the old marshal, whether to remove the lamina or partially remove the articular process.
After surgery, he also needs to consider the stability of the vertebral body after the resection and a series of exercises to help restore muscle strength.
After all, the purpose of the surgery was to allow the old marshal to regain the ability to take care of himself in daily life, not to push him from one abyss into another.
With the efforts of four people, the autopsy was carried out from ten o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the middle of the night. Damirgang and Hermann rested first because they had operations the next day, while Kawi and Ingenac hardly stopped until seven in the morning before opening the door to the anatomy room.
To be precise, they did not open the door.
The two of them are full of energy and are reaching the most critical moment. If no one reminds them, they may have to continue their research.
It was Inspector Witte who really opened the door to the anatomy room. The first thing he said after entering the door was to ask Xiang Kawei: "What time did you leave the embassy last night?"
"About nine o'clock."
"Then you go back to the hospital?"
"Um."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"Ambassador Edward is missing!"
