"Brother, you should go check it out quickly. Li Zhifeng fell ill as soon as he came back."

Just after returning home, Xiao Zhong said hurriedly.

What's wrong?

But before he entered Li Zhifeng's room, he heard his weak voice coming from inside:

"Don't, don't come in, malaria, yes, it's malaria!"

malaria?

Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

Yes, this is the Philippines!

People of their time all knew that before going on a business trip to Africa or the tropical rainforest, they had to get vaccinated against yellow fever and take oral cholera medicine.

Because the natural environment there is very different from that of the motherland, if you don’t have antibodies, you will get a lot of infectious diseases.

Tropical jungles are breeding grounds for diseases, which may not matter to the locals who have lived there for their ancestors, but can be fatal to foreigners who set foot on this land for the first time.

But since he and his brothers arrived in the Philippines, no one had contracted the disease in such a long time, so their vigilance was naturally gone.

Unexpectedly, the first one to fall was the strongest Li Zhifeng!

No matter how much Meng Shaoyuan cared about his brother, he knew that he would never have direct contact with him under such circumstances.

Otherwise, you will be the next one to fall!

"Quick, go get a doctor immediately." Meng Shaoyuan's face darkened.

"Brother, go and invite him yourself." Unexpectedly, Xiaozhong actually refused Meng Shaoyuan's order directly: "I came into contact with him as soon as he came back, and I may have been infected."

Meng Shaoyuan began to have a headache.

I have encountered all kinds of enemies, but this time, I encountered the most fierce opponent that I was least sure of defeating!

…

"It's malaria."

After coming out of Li Zhifeng's room, officer Tanaka took off his mask and washed his hands carefully: "Captain Onuchuan was not only injured in the past, but also encountered something else? For example, a serious disease that may even affect his life?"

disease?

Is it just Li Zhifeng’s physique?

Wait!

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of Savage Mountain!

When he and Li Zhifeng were crossing the Stranger Mountain together, Li Zhifeng started to have a high fever due to ulceration of his injuries.

He almost died in Savage Mountain.

In the end, he was lucky enough to save his life.

When Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly, Military Doctor Tanaka sighed: "Captain Guchuan looks very strong, but in fact, his body is very weak internally. This is all caused by previous war wounds and diseases.

How should I put it? A strong man's resistance to infectious diseases may not be as good as that of women and children. The situation of Captain Onagawa is roughly the same at present."

Meng Shaoyuan was also a doctor, so he understood it as soon as he heard it.

When an infectious disease breaks out, everyone's resistance is different.

Military doctor Tanaka is right, women and children often have stronger resistance than men.

"Captain Onikawa fought bravely for the empire and suffered many wounds on his body." Military doctor Tanaka continued: "Although he still looks strong and has nothing abnormal on weekdays, in fact, his resistance to germs is no longer as good as his

It's time to be strongest.

Sir, this kind of malaria has become prevalent in the army since we occupied the Philippines. The recent days of rain have also begun to spread malaria again. I admire Captain Onikawa for being able to survive until now.

.”

I admire your ancestor!

But Meng Shaoyuan also had to agree with what military doctor Tian Zhong said.

The Japanese troops who occupied the Philippines were troubled by malaria from the first day.

They were far away from their temperate motherland and sent to the tropical Philippines where malaria was rampant. They had no resistance factors in their bodies.

Mosquitoes carry malaria from virgin forests to battlefields.

As long as one person in the densely populated Japanese army camp was infected with this disease, more than half of the people would lose their combat effectiveness within a week.

The lucky ones can go to work in the fields after three days, but they are left with intermittent attacks and sequelae that are difficult to cure. The unlucky ones have convulsions and fever all over their bodies until they die.

The Japanese army seriously lacked medical supplies in the Philippines and the sanitary conditions were also poor. Therefore, they could only resign themselves to fate.

By the time the U.S. military counterattacked, there were not many Japanese soldiers in perfect health.

"Is there any way?" Meng Shaoyuan asked immediately, "especially if there are no sequelae."

"It's impossible not to leave sequelae." Military doctor Tanaka said with a serious face: "But there is still no problem in curing his disease."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get treatment quickly." Meng Shaoyuan was a little anxious.

Military doctor Tanaka looked helpless: "Your Excellency, Agency Chief, we have no medicine!"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.

How could I have forgotten this?

The Japanese army in the Philippines was severely lacking in medicines. Soldiers who had suffered from malaria in the past basically relied on their own resistance to fight the disease.

As the U.S. military's full-scale counterattack began, almost all the drugs were collected and transported to the army.

All for the front line.

This was a fatal order issued by the top brass of the Japanese army.

In the huge city of Manila, there is almost no cure.

Now how to do?

What should Li Zhifeng do?

Is it just relying on his own resistance to hold on?

Also, Li Zhifeng's illness only served as a warning.

In the future, perhaps more brothers will fall.

Medicine!

When he was in China, Meng Shaoyuan had various ways to obtain medicines.

Even the precious penicillin.

But in Manila, he felt helpless.

He glanced at Military Doctor Tanaka.

What did he just say?

"But there is still no problem in curing his disease!"

Then, he emphasized, "We have no medicine!"

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Tanaka-kun, wait for me a moment."

When he came out of the room again, he stuffed a gold bar into the pocket of military doctor Tanaka: "I need medicine, help Captain Onikawa."

Military doctor Tanaka hesitated for a moment: "Your Excellency, Agency Chief, I really want to help, but I can't find the medicine."

"You have it. Although all the medicines are used to support the front line, as a doctor, you must have some private collection."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't hesitate and took out two more gold bars and handed them to military doctor Tian Zhong.

Military doctor Tanaka smiled bitterly: "Okay, your Excellency, Agency Chief, I may be able to find some quinine!"

Quinine!

That is a special medicine for treating malaria.

"Wait." Seeing that Military Doctor Tanaka was about to go back to get the medicine, Meng Shaoyuan stopped him: "Tanaka-kun, not only Captain Onagawa, I am worried that myself or my subordinates will also be infected with malaria."

"Your Excellency, Agency Chief, what do you mean? Ah, I really can't find that much quinine."

"Where are the others? Or some other channel?" Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "No matter how difficult the conditions are, you can always find a way. This is true in any country.
Chapter completed!
