Controlling the Epidemic
Chapter 1405 Controlling the Epidemic
Haihan's measures to recruit immigrants from the north have actually been going on for several years. During this period, a large number of northerners were conscripted into the army or entered various government departments and became Haihan's loyal supporters. Many of them were reassigned Return to the north to carry out the mission.However, the military does not currently have the objective conditions to organize troops mainly from northern soldiers, so Morgan's idea can only stay on the tongue for the time being, and it will be difficult to realize it in the near future.
But even with Haihan's national strength, it is still a very difficult task to provide sufficient and effective logistical support for its own army in the cold area thousands of miles away from the mainland, especially the personnel stationed in Liaodong. Southerners are the majority, which greatly increases the difficulty of adapting to the local environment.
Takahashi Nan was wrapped in thick clothes, only showing his eyes staring at the snow-covered road under his feet, walking cautiously in the snow.Although the snow on the ground is only ankle-deep, in fact, a thin layer of ice has formed on the exposed surface under the snow, and if you don't pay attention to it on a slope, you will slip and fall.Although the officer's leather boots on Takahashi Nan's feet are well-made and have good warmth retention, they are not slippery.Fortunately, he is short and has a low center of gravity, coupled with his kung fu, his lower body is more stable than ordinary people, and he is still relatively stable when walking in the snow.
Takahashi Nan has participated in countless combat operations since he joined the army in Haihan, and has been in various environments, but the troops he leads are rarely as passive as they are now.Although everyone is working hard to persevere, the non-combat attrition of the troops has reached one-tenth. This ratio is really frighteningly high for a troop in a truce.However, military doctors are obviously not prepared enough for this sudden large-scale outbreak. Neither medicinal materials nor treatment measures can effectively curb the spread of the epidemic.But in the face of Gao Qiaonan's anger, the military doctor was also very helpless. Who would have thought that such an unreasonable situation would cause a large-scale infectious disease to break out in such a cold season?
Fortunately, the special warfare battalion is very strict in normal times. Even in such an unfavorable situation, the morale of the army has not been greatly affected, and it still maintains normal operation.However, after receiving advice from Shandong, Gao Qiaonan still ordered the cessation of group outdoor exercises every three days, and minimized the movement of a large number of people in order to limit the spread of the epidemic from the transmission channel.At the same time, some people with deteriorating conditions were shipped back to Shandong. After all, the medical conditions in Zhifu Island are slightly better than those in Lushun, and there is hope for recovery only when they are sent back.
Of course, these measures alone are not enough. Gao Qiaonan is also waiting for Zhifu Island to send some medical personnel to assist Lushun.According to the telegram received two days ago, the headquarters has already organized manpower and medicines in Shandong, and they will arrive in Lushun in the near future.This made Takahashi Minami feel a little better, at least he has seen the possibility of improving the current situation.
He went out in the snow because he was going to see the situation in the isolation ward, which was one of his daily routines.The confirmed patients were gathered in a barracks in the northeast corner of Lushun Fort, temporarily isolated from the outside world, so as not to infect more people.
At the gate of the isolation area, Gao Qiaonan took the scarf off his face, took the cotton mask handed over by the medical soldier and put it on, brushed off the snowflakes on his hat and shoulders, stomped his feet again, and then opened the door curtain and entered In a barracks.
There is a stove in the room, which is much warmer than the outside. There are ten patients in this room, and their symptoms are basically the same, such as fever, fatigue, severe cough, dyspnea, and body pain caused by the flu.But because there are too few medical soldiers and military doctors here in Fort Lushun, one person needs to take care of about [-] patients, and there are currently no specific medicines that can be provided to these patients, so this is not so much a cure as a mere medical treatment. They are artificially isolated and wait for their condition to improve automatically.
It is obviously a very small event that patients want to recover through their body's self-healing ability in such an environment, so even if some seriously ill patients have been sent back to Shandong, the number of patients here is still increasing.However, Gao Qiaonan is good at leading troops to fight, but it is difficult to play a practical role in curing diseases and saving lives.
He comes to the ward every day to make rounds, mainly to calm people's minds, but it's hard to hear any good news from here. There are very few people who have recovered. information.Today is no exception. According to the report of the medical soldiers, five more people were diagnosed today and need to enter the isolation camp. Two other people's condition has worsened and they need to be sent back to Shandong for treatment as soon as possible.
Gao Qiaonan frowned subconsciously after hearing the report, but did not give any instructions to the medical soldiers, because he knew that with the current conditions in Fort Lushun, it was difficult to use any real treatment methods on the sick.The road was blocked by heavy snow outside, and it became very difficult to dig herbs in the wild. Now we can only hope that Shandong's assistance will come soon.
He didn't deliver any morale-enhancing speeches to the patients, but silently helped the medical soldiers deliver a bowl of steaming medicine to each patient.Guizhi decoction is the most effective medicine that can be provided in the local area at present, and only the five herbs of cinnamon twig, peony, licorice, ginger, and jujube can still suppress the disease for some patients with milder conditions.However, there were not many of the five herbs left, and the military doctor had to reduce the concentration of the medicine when decocting the medicine, in order to decoct more medicine with the same amount of medicine and provide it to more patients.
The battalion commander personally distributed medicines to the sick patients in the ward. In fact, there was no need to say anything more to show his attitude. The soldiers could naturally feel the importance from their superiors.
After Gao Qiaonan distributed the medicine in several wards, news came from his subordinates that a Haihan fleet had entered Lushun Port.Gao Qiaonan knew in his heart that the fleet from Shandong should have arrived, so he immediately ordered people to prepare their horses and chariots and rushed to the port to meet them.The telegram he received said that the chief executive would come to take command in person, which must not be neglected, and he had to pick it up in person.
Half an hour later, Gao Qiaonan rushed to the port of Lushun Bay, and saw the four sailboats slowly approaching the shore, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally caught up with them.When Gao Qiaonan saw Morgan's appearance, he was immediately refreshed. He knew that the chief was not only a sniper instructor, but also a medical expert. If he came to Lushun in person, things would be much easier.
"The one who is not tall, short and strong is Battalion Commander Gaoqiao." Standing on the side of the boat, Tan Wei introduced to Liu Shang: "I think you should have heard of this name when you were in Sanya." Have you said that?"
Liu Shang looked at the officer who was saluting Morgan, nodded and said: "Of course, his combat achievements are few in the army. Even his combat deeds have been compiled into learning materials and publicized among the troops stationed everywhere. But listen It is said that this Battalion Commander Gaoqiao seems to be of Japanese origin?"
Tan Wei glanced at Liu Shang, and said calmly: "The people of Haihan, as long as they are loyal to the country and the executive committee, it doesn't matter which country they are from?"
Liu Shang felt the displeasure in Tan Wei's tone, and knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. Since Takahashi Nan is a hero in the army, Tan Wei naturally wanted to defend his honor in front of outsiders, so he smiled and said, "I said something wrong. Brother Tan, don’t be surprised. I also admire the deeds of Battalion Commander Gaoqiao! From Fuguang all the way north to this point, I heard that many of the controlled areas and colonies along the way were fought by the special warfare battalion. It was shot."
Qin Wei's face turned pale and he said, "That's right. Battalion Commander Gaoqiao is brave and loyal. Both the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense trust him very much. That's why he has been entrusted with the task of leading the way. Officer Liu If you are interested, you can also find an opportunity to chat with Battalion Commander Gao Qiao, and maybe we can make a story about his deeds and publicize it among the people in the future."
Liu Shang responded with a smile, but thought in his heart that this place is in the midst of an epidemic, and after the beginning of spring, a new military operation will be launched against Houjin. .However, there are quite a few officers from Daming and Annan in the Haihan army, but Japanese Japanese are extremely rare, so Takahashinan is considered an outlier.But being able to lead the troops all the way from the South China Sea to Liaodong, and expand the territory for Haihan, this is a real military achievement, and it cannot be faked at all. It is no wonder that he can win the trust of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Defense.
And the special warfare battalion commanded by Gao Qiaonan is known as the ace force in Haihan. No matter which country's enemy it faces, it is invincible. The Golden Cavalry can be called a miraculous record.Liu Shang had also heard about its name for a long time. After coming to Liaodong this time, he finally had the opportunity to see this famous army up close.However, he thought about it again. At this time, the base of the special warfare battalion was the place where the epidemic originated, and it was also in a war zone. He might have been under martial law long ago, and he might not be able to wander around at will.
Although there is only one Bohai Strait between this place and Zhifu Island, and the straight-line distance is only more than two hundred miles, Liu Shang still feels that the temperature here seems to be colder than that in Shandong.There is an outbreak in such a cold place, and it is no wonder that the military is ill-prepared for it.
After everyone disembarked, they would be picked up by horses and horses arranged by the local garrison. However, due to limited conditions, there was only a large flatbed truck with a temporary roof to carry passengers. cause discomfort.As for the army troops who came to change defenses, due to the large number of people, naturally they could only walk to Fort Lushun after assembly.
Liu Shang didn't feel any discomfort sitting in the caravan. The caravan was covered with thick fur, and he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, but it was indeed soft and warm to sit on.But the warmth is only warmed by the buttocks and legs, and the cold wind blowing in from the gaps in the canopy is still like a knife on the bare skin.
Liu Shang shivered, subconsciously took out the small wine pot from his arms, opened it and took a sip, a warm current flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and then he felt his body warmed up.
"Give me a sip." A hand stretched out from the side, motioning for Liu Shang to pass the jug over.
Liu Shang turned his head and saw that it was a local military officer who was in charge of accompanying them. Sitting in this carriage, he was half a head taller than himself. He was as strong as a bear. The jug was handed to him.The officer took the hand, raised his head unceremoniously, and poured it into his mouth from the spout of the jug.
Liu Shang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that this man is drinking with pride, as if drinking water.However, there was only so much wine in the small flagon, and the man took the flagon and shook it twice before it disappeared. He licked his lips and handed the flagon back to Liu Shang: "Thanks! Platoon leader Sun Zhen."
"I am Liu Shang, the officer of the Youth League." Seeing that the other party reported his job title, Liu Shang responded in a similar manner: "Platoon leader Sun is polite."
Sun Zhen grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, and said, "Officer Liu is from the south, right? It's hard work to come to this bitter cold place. When we arrive at Lushun Fort, I'll make up for your wine."
Liu Shang said a few words politely, and asked curiously: "Based on the accent of Platoon Leader Sun, it seems to be from Shandong?"
Sun Zhen nodded and said: "During the Denglai Rebellion, I fled from the countryside to hide from the army. Later, I joined Haihan and joined the army in Penghu."
Liu Shangxin said that this was a common thing during the Denglai Rebellion. He had read the relevant information. During the two years of the Denglai Rebellion, Haihan imported over [-] refugees from Shandong, most of them were like Sun Zhen. Refugees displaced by war.At that time, in order to obtain Haihan nationality as soon as possible, many of these refugees chose to join the army, and Sun Zhen was obviously one of them.
The carriage soon drove into Fort Victory, and Sun Zhen led the people in the carriage to the vacated barracks for resettlement.At this time, Takahashi Minami was seeking Morgan's opinion on whether it was necessary to assemble the entire battalion for inspection.
Morgan shook his head and said: "Minimize the concentration of people as much as possible. Haven't you already told you this? There is no need to inspect it. Take me to see the situation in the quarantine area first."
Gao Qiaonan was also very anxious about this matter, but seeing Morgan's initiative to ask, he immediately took him to the isolation area in the northeast corner of the castle.After Morgan spent an incense stick of time looking inside and out, he already had a rough idea in his mind, so he asked Gao Qiaonan to call a meeting of military doctors and medical soldiers to assign tasks.
Morgan's measures are mainly divided into three aspects, disinfection, isolation, and treatment, a three-pronged approach.This time, he brought a group of medical staff and a large amount of medicine, and prepared a more professional ward isolation and disinfection plan to fill in the gaps in the previous incomplete isolation measures.With Morgan, a senior military doctor, in charge, the epidemic prevention work in all aspects was quickly promoted, and the originally chaotic ward finally settled down.Of course, this is just the beginning. Morgan himself is not 100% sure whether the epidemic can be controlled, so he can only follow the established measures.
