    The late autumn of 1918 was definitely not a good season. When the haze of war over Europe gradually dissipated, an unprecedented plague struck quickly.  .

    Lorraine Metz, inside the temporary station of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.  The soldiers gathered quietly in groups, basking in the sun and chatting quietly. Everyone was wearing a mask, and their eyes showed uncontrollable worry.  Whenever military police and medical teams wearing red cross armbands ran past, they would burst into commotion.  The air was filled with the fragrance of the tormented medicine. The Chinese medicine doctors who came from China in advance used the medicinal materials they brought and directed the soldiers to prepare Qufeng Powder.  Western doctors also prepared enough masks, alcohol and other items in advance, and asked the soldiers to use quicklime water to disinfect the entire camp every three days.  But even so, it is still inevitable that some people will be infected with rheumatic plague (the domestic name for influenza), and once symptoms such as cough and fever are found, these soldiers will be forcibly isolated by the medical team and sent to specialized barracks for treatment, adding to the tense atmosphere.

    "Hello, sir."

    "Hello, Commander!"

    As Yue Peng and the officers inspected, the soldiers saluted him one after another. Their still loud voices and discipline failed to relieve the solemnity on his face.  Like everyone else, he also wears a mask. Each person has three masks to replace in turn. After replacement, they need to be handed over to the medical team for special disinfection. They must be worn at all times except when eating and drinking. No matter who does it without permission  Anyone who takes it off will be subject to military law.  The scene in front of him made him very worried. Although he received a telegram from Yang Qiu in advance requesting the prevention of post-war plague, and a specialized medical team of more than 400 people came with a large amount of medicines at the beginning of the year to support, but when this wave of disease emerged from nowhere, no one knew where it came from.  After the epidemic spread.  Everyone suddenly discovered that the situation was much more serious than expected!

    Zhang Xiaojun caught up from behind, and he, who was also wearing a mask, handed him the briefing: "The situation is not good. The newspaper said that there are signs of mass deaths in the United States, with at least 10,000 deaths reported every day. Here in France  Nearly 20,000 deaths are reported every day! Countries such as the UK, Germany and Spain also have high death rates.¡±

    "What about the country and us?" Not to mention Yue Peng, the officers accompanying the inspection were frightened by the numbers and asked questions one after another.

    "Yesterday, I contacted the country and reported that the spread of the epidemic has been detected in Taiwan, Guangdong, and Fujian. Among them, Taiwan has reported that the number of registered people has exceeded 500,000. Guangdong has about 300,000! The remaining areas are temporarily unknown. The Commander-in-Chief and the Ministry of Health are closely monitoring  Surveillance, I heard He is already preparing to go to Taiwan for inspection. We are also in trouble here. Fortunately, the military has medical teams and preparations. The infection rate and death rate are not high. But compared with Chinese workers in Britain and France  It is serious, and more than 20,000 people have been infected with the epidemic. The two ambassadors Wang Zhengting and Shi Zhaoji have gathered the Chinese workers under unified jurisdiction. They not only sent telegrams to ask for help from home, but also asked us to find ways to distribute some doctors and medicines."

    "Doctor Yang, look" Yue Peng was also very worried when he heard that there was a large-scale infection among Chinese workers.  These are industrial workers who are urgently needed in the country. They are about to return to China to use what they have learned in three years to serve the country, but they have missed this job, so they quickly looked at the middle-aged doctor next to them.  This Doctor Yang was a disciple of Wu Qingyuan, the master of Xinglin in the late Qing Dynasty. He was very good at treating wind plague, so the Ministry of Health specially invited him to serve as the captain of the medical team of the expeditionary force.

    Dr. Yang not only studied Chinese medicine with Wu Qingyuan, he also learned some Western medicine in the past two years.  Therefore, it has made a great contribution to this epidemic prevention.  He twirled his beard and said: "Commander, it seems that our Qufeng Powder still has some anti-epidemic effect. One cup a day can greatly reduce the incidence of disease. However the medicine brought this time is only enough to last the soldiers for half a year.  If we add 700,000 to 800,000 workers to what is needed, I am afraid it will affect the military"

    "We are not afraid of medicine." Zhang Xiaozhun said: "After learning about the situation, the commander-in-chief has sent a fleet to deliver medicine. It will arrive at Marseille Port in ten days at the latest."

    "It's easy to handle if you have medicine." Doctor Yang heard that the medicine was enough.  He quickly took out the formula for making medicine and wrote down the cooking time and other precautions and handed it to Zhang Xiaozhun: "Qufeng Powder is not complicated at all. It can be used with Western medicine to alleviate the disease. This is the recently recorded method and prescription for making medicine. As long as  According to the power of one cup a day, I can¡¯t say it¡¯s foolproof, but it can save the lives of many people.¡±

    Zhang Xiaozhun did not dare to neglect, and immediately handed the prescription to Bai Chongxi and ordered him to select soldiers with flexible hands and feet to set off to the Chinese labor gathering area.  He also asked people to contact Wang Zhengting and Shi Zhaoji to find a way to organize Chinese workers with medical skills to help themselves.  After everything was arranged, a report sounded outside the door.

    "Report, Long Yun, the non-commissioned officer student studying in Germany, has come to gather with the entire student group studying in Germany."

    In the crisp report, Long Yun and thousands of students studying in Germany, cadets and overseas Chinese appeared in front of everyone.  After the outbreak of the plague, they received orders to come from Switzerland to join together.??These people are the treasures of the country. They were previously under house arrest in Switzerland by Germany. Now that Germany has nothing to take care of, it has relaxed its supervision on them, so Yang Qiu wants to take them to France. After all, the medical conditions in the expeditionary force are much better.  , we can provide timely treatment if something happens.

    Zhang Xiaozhun knew many people inside, especially Long Yun and others who had received training from him before going to Germany. He glanced around and found that Bingwen, Liu Mingzhao and others were not there. He thought something had happened and quickly asked: "Bingwen  How many of them are there?"

    "Report to the Chief of Staff. Bingwen and Mingzhao have both gone to Germany to perform missions."

    "Germany, carrying out a mission?" Zhang Xiaozhun and Yue Peng looked at each other. What other missions are there in Germany at this moment?

    *******

    Yang Qiu, who stayed in Shanghai, knew better than ordinary people the destructiveness and seriousness of the Spanish Flu.  But he was not a doctor. The formula for vx nerve agent and the warhead manufacturing drawings were all available in the data machine, but the treatment of influenza was obviously not within the scope of the military.  Even if it is included, there will be no samples of this influenza strain in future generations, so we can only rely on the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, giving medicines to people and letting everyone figure out their own solutions.  On the contrary, the speed of the spread of influenza in the country worried him. Historically, there was almost no documentation left about the spread and outbreak of the flu in the country, so he knew very little.  Many people say that this wave of influenza does little harm to the yellow race, but looking at it now, he believes it is a misunderstanding due to lack of information.  For such a large country, with such a dense population and poor medical conditions, it is impossible to have fewer people than any other country in Europe.

    He can¡¯t control the flu, and there is no specific medicine, so he feels powerless.  Fortunately, this wave of influenza will gradually weaken next year. No matter how severe the damage is, it only needs to persist for two years. On the contrary, the detailed plan for deploying military reforms must start immediately. As a soldier, he knows very well how profound the impact of World War I on the world's military.  .  Aircraft and tanks dominate the battlefield, air-ground integration, large corps, armor penetration, blitzkrieg, etc. Almost all tactical theories are closely related to it.  From a tactical perspective, as long as he is here, the National Defense Forces will definitely be ahead in this aspect. The problem lies in converting theory into actual combat effectiveness. It takes enough time for grassroots officers with lower educational levels than those in Europe and the United States to master the new theory, so they decided to start early.

    He is now worried about R&D and manufacturing.  Although there are data machines that are the essence of a century-old military, the problem is that the transition from drawings to physical objects is severely limited by two major constraints: materials and industrial capabilities.  The former requires time to accumulate slowly, while the latter requires not only a well-established national industry and skilled workers, but also a design, R&D and technology team that can materialize the drawings.

    Why hasn¡¯t a complete national-level experimental center been established even after eight years since returning? Why hasn¡¯t there been an institution like NASA in the United States?  It's not that he didn't know the importance of these institutions, but that the Republic of China really lacked scientific and technological talents at that time.  This problem has only been slightly alleviated recently. Overseas students have returned one after another from Europe and the United States. Thousands of outstanding people have been selected through various channels from overseas Chinese and Nanyang Chinese from all over the world. Talents that have been painstakingly cultivated in China over the past few years.  There are also technicians poached from all over the world through the war, and finally some Russian elites including Sikorsky, Tsiolkov, Fedorov, etc.!  Already have the ability to build a national comprehensive research institution.

    Of course, this puzzle still has the last piece left Yang Qiu picked up the Rhineland plan that had been put on hold for several years and turned his head.  In his eyes, Lu Bicheng was bending down to help him pack things for his inspection trip to Taiwan. In this position, her breasts were tightly wrapped in her culottes, and even he felt a little reverie when he looked at her.  Fortunately, the important plan book in his hand reminded him and asked: "Lan Qing, are you ready with all the money I asked you to prepare last time?"

    "What money?" Lu Bicheng straightened up in confusion.  Dressed in casual home clothes, wrapped in a torn blue cloth headscarf, and without makeup, she looked like an ordinary housewife at the moment. Yang Qiu, who was used to seeing bright coats, also brightened up and said with a smile: "I just want you to send it to  Bingwen¡¯s money.¡±

    Lu Bicheng then remembered that he had told him last year to pool as much liquidity as possible and transfer it to a bank in Switzerland. She smiled and said, "Does Vice President Yang, who treats money like dirt, care about how much money he has?" She squeezed like a child.  He came to his side, raised his chin and blinked: "You haven't told me what you will do with the money?"

    "Yeah." Yang Qiu patted the woman's forehead angrily, and a few hair ripples flew up: "Bingwen will be back soon, and I'm going to ask him to buy some fashion for our Miss Lu San."

    "Really?" Even though she knew he was joking, Lu Bicheng still kissed her cheek.  Yang Qiu was also infected by this little joke between husband and wife. He put down the documents, held her in his arms and kissed her deeply before asking, "Can we talk now?"

    Lu Bicheng hooked his neck and pressed her plump breasts against his thighs. While feeling his changes, he said, "Oil patents, South American instant coffee, and other incomes??A total of US$65 million has been transferred.  "

    "How many?!"

    Yang Qiu has never cared about how much money he has, so this number even shocked him. When did he become so rich?
