C1930 bacteriological warfare (1/2)
Originally, Consul Ferdinand would not have been so easily hit by this attack. His so-called 'retaliation' was merely bringing some polluted water to the barracks and Canal Company to mix in sand.
Originally, these aboriginals did not know much about infectious diseases. All they knew was that they believed in these distant guests and wanted to take revenge on the French colonists.
In fact, in the hearts of these natives, using polluted well water to mix with sand was more like a curse!
That's right, they believed that the germs were a kind of demonic curse. They were simply carrying out the commands of the nobles through a state of pure curse. Everything they did was basically the same principle as a scarecrow using a nail.
Actually, with the habits of the British aristocracy at that time, it was not easy to spread the plague. After all, they were already veterans, and their national hygiene was already very high.
Boiling water to brew black tea was their favorite pastime. Whether or not a cup of wine could quench their thirst, the delicacies they ate were all extremely fresh and particular.
This lifestyle could have prevented many bacteria from invading his body, but one of Consul's habits had killed him, and made him extremely fond of iced black tea.
It was a hot summer day, especially in Egypt's hot desert, and it was a pleasure to drink a cup of iced black tea with a spoonful of honey in it.
Normally, the Consul's iced black tea was made from the finest Chinese Keemun Black Tea. After being brewed, it would naturally turn cool, then cool down with ice, before finally adding in honey to flavour it.
Because tea is boiled, a large number of bacteria have been killed, so drinking this black tea is certainly healthy. However, when the maidservants tried to assassinate the Consul, the cup of black tea became a deadly trump card.
Ice-black tea is only two-thirds full, then take advantage of the cool air and pour in a third of the polluted well water. Escherichia coli and dysenteriae multiply in the tea, low temperature can only inhibit the activity of bacteria but not kill the bacteria.
Doctor Ba Ke began to spread knowledge of the bacteriology to the Leader. When he heard that Consul Ferdinand had flushed red before he had diarrhea today, he even verified his judgement.
”That's right, it was the plague caused by the dysentery virus. Actually, the old consul should have felt uncomfortable earlier. He might have forgotten his discomfort due to the tense situation and missed the best opportunity to treat the disease while his face was still red!”
”Ferdinand himself isn't young anymore, he can't even compare to the soldiers in the army camp. Perhaps the camp will need three days for the dysentery to break out, but for the old man, 12 hours is enough time …”
Speaking up to here, Doctor Ba Ke said to Miss Yi Kelamu with an ashen face, ”You must remember, the bacteriology is an extremely terrifying subject. Although it can save millions of lives, if used badly, it can still become a demon that commits countless evil!”
”It is not an honor to fight with bacteria! Sooner or later, the human world would suffer a huge loss in this regard! ”I hope you will bear in mind that you must never use such sinister methods again, or else you will be met with divine retribution!”
Yi Kelamu was scolded by Doctor Ba Ke until her ears turned red. She retorted, ”Could it be that these Frenchmen killed our compatriots? How many of us have died in Egypt for this canal? ”And then there was the plague, and those French people didn't care about us at all …”
