C1899 medical team (2/2)
Xiao Letian pointed out a correct path, and Doctor Ba Ke and Evil Doctor Huang firmly walked forward without any hesitation. As long as they were willing to invest their money and energy, they believed that a breakthrough would happen sooner or later.
It didn't need to be said that Xiao Letian was very clear why Evil Doctor Huang and Ba Ke had to go ashore. Could anyone who studied bacteriology not study the plague? This was their specialty to begin with. Now that a rare opportunity had appeared before them, how could the two not be excited?
”Please, Chief, we are doctors who cannot stand idly by while there are patients... Right now, the canal is still not empty, so we still have some time before we leave.
Hearing Doctor Ba Ke's pleas, Xiao Letian sighed and turned his head to ask, ”Ask the canal manager, when will our fleet depart?”
The standard-bearer quickly sent the signal to the pilot ship. Soon after, the pilot ship replied.
”Reporting to the leader, there are more than 40 merchant ships passing through the canal from the south to the north. This is the number of ships passing through from Great Bitter Lake to Suez Port …” ”It will take at least 7 more hours. After all these ships have passed, it will take us at least 2 hours to re-launch …”
”If the medical team were to go ashore, they would have about 9 hours of work time!”
”Enough! ”That's enough …” The Evil Doctor Huang said excitedly, ”Nine hours is enough for us to find the source of this plague. When the time comes, we can just leave some cure for the locals. We don't need to participate in any direct treatment!”
Speaking of which, what else could Xiao Letian do? He could only nod his head and send his horse back and Luo Houzi to lead a company of soldiers to the shore to protect them.
Before he left, Wang Huaiyuan warned him repeatedly, ”You have to endure, don't fight with the French, and don't get into conflicts with the locals … If anything happens, bring the doctors away, remember it well! ”
”Yes!” Sir, complete the mission with determination … ”
One after another, the soldiers untied the boats. The so-called Chinese army was actually a Marine Corps. They were very familiar with this business of fighting on the boats.
The sampans, which were fixed by the twelve cables, were untied and thrown into the sea in an orderly fashion by the soldiers. All of the boats moved at high speeds and in an orderly manner.
It only took forty seconds to launch a sampan. It was so efficient that it was like a group of people performing acrobatics. It even stunned the sailors.
”God? How did these Chinese people train themselves to be able to move in unison like a single person? Their coordination and coordination were extremely adept and tacit! ”How many times do I have to go through this training …”
The rope ladder was thrown down. Doctors wearing white coats and white hats began to board the boats while carrying boxes on their backs. Soon, this team of 14 boats started to move in an orderly manner.
The Zhiyuan Warship officially sent a signal to the pier, ”The Chinese send a medical team to prepare to go ashore to help you investigate the plague and assist in the treatment. ”Please cooperate!”
As soon as the banners were spoken, the sea became noisy, British battleship and countless European merchant ships started discussing, ”Oh my god, are these Chinese crazy? He actually dared to venture into a city where the plague was rampant? Are they courting death!? ”
