Libreville Free Trade Zone, Gabon Region, August 5, 1856.

Libreville, which belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, has been under extreme weather of alternating high temperature and rainfall since August.

Under such extreme weather, a group of members of the Croatian Foreign Legion who had followed Jerome Paterson arrived here immediately fell into a situation of acclimatization.

Many soldiers began to vomit and diarrhoea, unable to work, and even unable to stand up when they walked.

Mirabeau Plenkovic, who was one of the two major commanders of the French Foreign Legion at the time, saw this scene and immediately went to Libreville in person. He was going to report the matter to Jerome Pat. Governor Sonnen.

Mirabeau Plenkovel galloped all the way, and soon stopped at the gate of a mansion with a garden in the center of the city.

That's right, this mansion was where Governor Jerome Paterson worked and rested.

As early as more than a month ago, this was the residence of the largest local merchant in Libreville. After Jerome Patterson arrived, the merchant immediately volunteered to donate his mansion to Jerome Patterson for free. Act as the Governor's House.

Jerome Paterson gained his own footing, and the businessman also gained Jerome Paterson's friendship.



Mirabo Plenkovich, who got off his horse, handed the horse over to the soldiers guarding outside the compound of the Governor's Palace, and walked straight inward until he reached the lobby of a four-story building.

Mirabo Plenkovi, who entered the hall, came to Jerome Paterson's office under the leadership of the clerk in the Governor's Palace, and reported to him the situation of the Croatian Foreign Legion.

After Jerome Paterson heard Mirabo Plenkovic's report, he also frowned and asked Mirabo Plenkovic: "How many people have this symptom so far! "

"According to our statistics, there are nearly 100 people in the entire military camp who need to be supported by others to get up, and nearly 300 people are unable to do normal work!" Mirabo Plenkovic told Jerome in a heavy tone. . Patterson responded.

"So, nearly one in ten people can't work properly!" Jerome Patterson frowned even more.

"Yes!" Mirabo Plenkovic said to Jerome Patterson worriedly: "It's okay if you just don't get used to the soil and water, I heard merchants who stay here (referring to Libreville) They say that this time of year is the season of high malaria and cholera!

I am afraid that malaria and cholera will be introduced into the camp, causing immeasurable damage to the camp! "

"I see! You go back to the barracks first to stabilize your morale. After a while, I will go with the doctor!" Jerome Patterson said to Mirabo Plenkovic.

"Fairy Wood"

"Yes!" Mirabo Plenkovic immediately saluted Jerome Patterson, then turned and left the Governor's Office.

"Wait a minute!" Jerome Patterson stopped him again before Mirabo Plenkovic walked out of the office.

Mirabo Plenkovic turned around and asked Jerome Patterson what else he ordered.

"After you go back, be sure to tell them not to be afraid! The imperial government will not give up on them!" Jerome Paterson told Mirabo Plenkovic again.

Mirabo Plenkovic also knew the importance of confidence. He hurriedly replied to Jerome Paterson: "Understood! I will definitely try my best to stabilize the morale of the army!"

"It's hard work!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and watched Mirabeau Plenkovic leave.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Patterson put down the screening work of the scientific expedition team at hand, and shouted outside: "Rastigne, Rastigne!"

No one seemed to respond to him outside the door. After a while, Jerome Patterson whispered, "Strange, where did Rastigne go!"

Having said that, Jerome Patterson pushed away the chair, got up and walked out of the office.

Walking in the corridor of the mansion, he searched for the traces of Rastigne everywhere, and finally met Rastigne, the Secretary of State of the Governor's Palace at a corner at the end of the corridor. The documents screened in the secretarial office headed in the direction of Jerome Patterson, and the destination he was about to reach was Jerome Patterson's office.

"Rastigne, you came just in time! I was looking for you!" Jerome Patterson said to Rastignet with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Governor, what are your orders!" Rastigne, who was holding the document, asked Jerome Patterson.

"I hope you can go to the hospital in the north of the city and call the director there!" Jerome Patterson gave an order to Rastigne.

"City North Hospital?" Mr. Rastigne uttered a word, then nodded and pointed to the documents in his hand and responded to Jerome Paterson: "Please wait a moment, I will deliver these documents to you After the office, we will go over!"

"These documents, I can take them myself!" Jerome Patterson took the documents from Rastigne's hand, waved his hands and said to Rastigne, "Go quickly!"

"Yes!" Rastigne saw this and immediately trotted away.

With his arms around the document, Jerome Patterson lowered his head and looked at the documents that Rastigne handed him, then turned around and slowly returned to the office.

When Jerome Patterson returned to the office of the Governor's Office, all the documents were basically glanced at by Jerome Patterson.

In addition to the population ratio of the Libreville area (blacks, Arabs, whites), the documents also include the financial income and expenditure of the Libreville area, religious categories, etc., which were collected by the secretarial office for a month. All information.

Through the document Jerome Patterson clearly saw the development prospects of Libreville. In addition to exporting timber and selling slaves (currently France has abolished slavery on the face of it, but privately is still trying to sell to the outside world), only There seems to be two ways to build rubber plantations and expand the site for leasing.

It is needless to say that the establishment of rubber plantations increases fiscal revenue, and the purpose of expanding the site is to better collect taxes from those tribes in the inland areas to meet the expenses at hand.

Of course, Jerome Paterson doesn't know that the land under his feet is not only rich in wood resources, but also has a large amount of manganese iron ore and a small amount of gold ore. Most of these manganese ore and gold ore are The inland area awaits him to mine in the past.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte looked at the meager francs in the financial statements, and then thought that he had nearly 5,000 more mouths, and suddenly felt a headache, so he whispered: "It is still necessary to expand the power as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, Jerome Patterson drew out the selection list of the members of the scientific expedition under the document again, and continued to check.

About 10 minutes later, Rastigne and a doctor in a white lab coat and a cotton mask appeared in front of Jerome Paterson.

Seeing this, Jerome Paterson hurriedly put down his work, got up and shook hands with the doctor: "President Oster, you are finally here!"

"Your Excellency Governor, what happened?" Dean Auster asked Jerome Patterson with a puzzled look.

Jerome Paterson told Dean Oster what Mirabeau Plenkovic had just said to him.

"Captain Plenkovic has been very thoughtful! If it's just a matter of acclimatization, then it's easier to serve the customer! Just lie down and rest quietly, and you're afraid of malaria! This time it is malaria and malaria. During the high incidence of cholera, if you are not careful, an accident will happen!" Dean Oster said slowly.

"Now, what should we do?" Jerome Paterson asked Dean Auster.

After thinking for a moment, Dean Auster replied to Jerome Patterson: "Let's do it! Transport those who cannot take care of themselves to the hospital, and our nurses will take care of them!

Those who are able to take care of themselves, isolate themselves in military camps!

Screening a group of people responsible for taking care of their lives!

This can reduce these people's contact with the outside world, even if they are infected!

Nor will it spread to other people's heads any time soon! "

"Isn't our hospital just established? Are there really so many beds for them to use?" Jerome Paterson asked again.

"At present, the hospital has nearly 200 beds and more than 10 nurses! As long as there is no large-scale outbreak of malaria and cholera, it can be said that it is more than enough to take care of them!" Dean Oster confidently replied to Jerome Patterson : "And it won't be long before a group of nurses from medical facilities and practice will come over!

So there is no need to worry about these problems at all! "

"That's good!" Jerome Paterson finally relaxed a little.

"However, Your Excellency the Governor! I want to remind you!" Dean Auster said to Jerome Paterson with a serious look.

"Please say it!" Jerome Patterson also answered Oster with a solemn expression. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"When I visited the streets of Libreville before, I discovered a serious problem!" Dean Auster said to Jerome Paterson: "People here generally don't like boiling water when they drink water. The boiling water after!"

Jérôme Paterson immediately recalled that back in the Crimean peninsula, the French army kept repeating orders to drink boiled water (in most cases, coffee), saying that this would prevent cholera.

At the beginning, everyone did not strictly enforce the order, and many even had objections to the order.

It was not until after the outbreak of small-scale cholera in Britain that the frightened French army took it seriously.

It is precisely because of this order that the scale of the outbreak of cholera in France during the Crimean War was far less than that of Britain and the Ottomans, and the number of people treated was far more than that of Britain.
