Chapter 202 A trip to Europe (seeking a monthly pass)
Lu Xuan's departure was confirmed long ago. He left a little more time just to see if the Chen family and Luo Laowai are worth paying attention to. Since they are both doing well, Lu Xuan doesn't mind giving any benefits.
Lu Xuan took out some prescriptions and gave them to Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai.
"These are several practical prescriptions I have compiled in the past year. They are aimed at symptoms such as pain relief, anti-inflammatory, fever reduction, and promoting wound healing. The specific ones are all on it. I'll give them to you now."
"This... is so precious." In this era, this secret recipe is the lifeblood of a family. No one will give his secret recipe to others. Not to mention that Lu Xuan made four at once.
"Don't care about those pedantic rules, this means nothing to me. It's just some old prescriptions. These days, Hua Ling and I simplified them and got the prescriptions. Listen, whether you believe it or not, war will begin. At that time, these medicines will become necessities with huge demand. So, while there is still time to start a pharmaceutical factory, this will bring you unimaginable benefits."
"The war is about to begin? The gentleman said that there will be greater conflicts between the National Government and the local army. But as far as I know, most local army has begun to nominally affiliate to the National Government. Conflict..."
"It's not referring to this. It's referring to foreign races, to be precise, Japanese."
"Japanese, don't think I'm studying less, but I know that Japan dares to enter China even if it's a big deal?"
"Haha, they have dreamed for thousands of years. Now civil strife in the Central Plains are everywhere. The national strength has declined to its extreme. The Japanese will definitely not miss this opportunity. War will eventually break out, just be prepared. There is still some time to prepare early. Try to store food, arms, and medicines. Take as much as possible. Also pay attention to air defense preparations..."
Lu Xuan said a lot, mainly because of the suppression of the Japanese army when facing the Japanese army in the future, and various preventive measures were proposed. In fact, if the historical process is not wrong, there will be eleven years before Japan's invasion of China. Whether these measures can be implemented will still be discussed. What effect will be achieved in the end remains to be verified. But what Lu Xuan should say is still to say.
After all, this era is no longer the era where he can lead his troops to fight. Back then, he was able to lead a team of cavalry to take straight to the enemy generals with one force. But now, his power is barely able to block pistol bullets and rifle bullets with stronger penetration, which are extremely difficult. Not to mention heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and even naval guns.
His personal power can no longer dominate the battlefield. In terms of thought, more powerful ideas in this era have been born, and it is not his turn to spread them. Therefore, he can not do much in this regard. Lu Xuan left because he was preparing to do something more meaningful.
The prescription was handed over. In the future, many soldiers on the battlefield would die from unfatal injuries due to infection and pain. Lu Xuan's prescription may not be as good as the sulfonamide, penicillin, penicillin and other medicines in Western medicine. However, they are definitely effective. His prescription was compiled by the whole country at that time, combining traditional Chinese medicine concepts and various secret recipes circulated among the people, and was comprehensively obtained.
After the improvements he and Hua Ling joined forces, what he got was definitely the essence of the concept of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The real essence is not the kind that is incomplete and patched together in later generations.
He arranged a series of trivial matters and took Hong Gu and three disciples to leave Xiangxi together.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Haha, since you are leaving, then go to a farther place. Let's go abroad and go to Europe."
"Europe is the country where the real foreign devils?"
"That's right. The situation in Europe is actually not very good. It's also a chaotic world. So, let's go and see if we can get some benefits. Another more critical point is that at this time, medicine was more developed in Europe. Many instruments can only be obtained from Europe. In any case, we must go there."
In winter, Lu Xuan and his five-member group set foot on the land of Europe and Germany.
At this time, Germany was still in a prosperous scene on the surface. But Lu Xuan knew that in two years, the economic crisis would officially break out. Germany would be hit hard. At that time, the entire government would completely collapse under this impact. Within a few years, it would completely collapse. Finally, under the mutual struggle of a group of politicians, a person who influenced the history of human civilization would come to the forefront.
In this era, the relationship between the National Government and Germany was actually quite good. Since the Treaty of Versailles, Germany has only been allowed to have 100,000 troops. A large number of military personnel have caused huge problems at the public security and political levels. This is also the root cause of many German advisers in the national army later.
Moreover, during the late Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang purchased German arms many times and many cannons. He was still in service during the Republic of China.
After World War I, Germany was defeated and its international status plummeted. In all aspects, they abolished many unequal agreements with China and signed equal treaties, which greatly improved the sense of Germany. Although Germany's original intention was to find an ally in the Far East, this move undoubtedly gave China tangible benefits.
Later, Chang Kaishen's National Government solemnly invited various German advisers in the name of the country. To a large extent, it was also because of this premise. Even after the head of state came to power, China still obtained a lot of weapons and equipment from Germany. This shows that Germany's attitude towards China in this era was also unique among the great powers.
However, at this time, the head of state has not yet risen, and Lu Xuan's first target is not him. But another person who is not well-known in history, Arthur Eisinggreen.
This person is a Jew and the inventor of aspirin. However, this matter is actually controversial.
Because in history, the first person to publicly admit that he invented aspirin was Felix Hoffman, a German. But later Germany was defeated and Arthur came out of the concentration camp alive and issued a statement indicating that he was the real inventor of aspirin.
