In the 21st century, many people believe that the earth is flat, and needless to say in 1905, even today's scientists do not have as much understanding of the objective world as high school students in the 21st century.

So Henry thought it was normal for the air in India to be full of viruses, and during the First World War, both the Entente and the Central Powers described each other as man-eating demons in their propaganda, and some people believed it.

For India, Roque must know better than Henry, not to mention whether there is a virus in the air, the water and food are definitely not clean, so if the new First Cavalry Division goes to India, I am afraid that it will have to take cooks with it, and it will also strengthen the awareness of food hygiene and safety, otherwise the attrition caused by disease in the new First Cavalry Division is estimated to be much more than the attrition caused by war.

Although Count Selborne meant that even if the new 1st Cavalry Division was to go to India, it would be next year, Roque had to be prepared now, so as not to be caught off guard.

After returning to Johannesburg, Roque went to Harry Spencer to ask about the specific situation in India.

Harry Spencer was surprised to learn that Roque was going to India, but Harry Spencer performed better than Henry, at least without gloating.

However, the situation provided by Harry Spencer seems to be worse: "Lord Favart is actually right, India really even has a virus in the air, you will know when you arrive in India, the air in that place is not clear what it smells like, the public toilets in Johannesburg with the worst sanitary conditions, the air is a hundred times cleaner than India-"

"If you go to India, then you'd better not just drink water and eat, the water and food in that place are poisonous, and the Ganges is full of corpses, and then the Indians just drink the water from the Ganges, and they like to make all the food into a muddy paste and put it on the plate like a pile of — uh-" Harry Spencer himself couldn't go on, there was already a shadow on India.

"Sounds terrible!" Roque can't comment, this is also one of the four ancient civilizations, it's simply an insult to the word "civilization".

"Indians are all small and strong, so they are fine no matter how they eat, we people can't, there are two kinds of troops stationed in India, one is a regular army composed of all whites, and the other is a servant army composed of Indians and Gurkhas, and the regular army has people every day because of accidentally eating food and water from unknown sources to cause viruses, and many people even die because of this, so if you want me to give you advice, then my advice is not to go." Harry Spencer's advice is not very reliable, and it is not up to Roque to decide whether to go or not.

"Well, thank you very much—" Although Harry Spencer didn't give Roark any useful advice, Roark was grateful for Harry Spencer's reminder.

"Don't thank me, I can't help you with this matter - and if you go to India, don't leave it to the Indians, and don't expect any help from the Indian officials and the army, they will only hold back." Harry Spencer's final piece of advice to Roque is the most important.

Back in Ziwei Town, Roque went to Abu, hoping that Abu would develop a special drug against malaria as soon as possible.

"The medicine has been available for a long time, although we have not yet figured out why Artemisia annua can treat malaria, but this does not prevent us from using Artemisia annua to make medicines, and now the pharmaceutical factory has been able to provide drugs to treat malaria, and the effect is not bad, much stronger than cinchona cream, at least there are not so many sequelae." Abu's efficiency is still very good, the research of white medicine has brought Abu a lot of income, which greatly stimulated Abu's enthusiasm for drug research, during this time the research on artemisia annua and penicillin has made rapid progress, and the biological laboratory has begun to try to extract penicillin, once successful, this is a huge gold mine.

"Very good, speed up the research on artemisinin and penicillin, tell your researchers, and I will give them a bonus." Roque is very generous, he eats meat himself, and his subordinates must at least drink some broth.

In fact, Abu is also good to his subordinates, and after getting the dividend, Abu has already given a bonus to the researchers of the institute, and the bonus amount accounts for about half of Abu's personal dividend.

After returning home, Roque did not mention to Phyllis that he was going to India, and Roque didn't know how long he was going to India, maybe a few months, maybe a year or two, considering the health situation in India, Roque was not ready to let Phyllis and Gavin go to India with him, Phyllis was better, Gavin was too young, in case there was a good guy in India, Roque would have nowhere to cry.

Phyllis is in a more complicated mood during this time, Ida is also in Ziwei Town now, and she will bring Arthur to find Gavin every day, every time Gavin sees Arthur, he is very happy, the brothers have a lot of fun, and the two mothers are very relaxed.

Seeing Gavin so happy, Phyllis was in a mood of joy and sorrow, happy that Gavin had a playmate and could grow up healthily; Naturally, I was worried that I was very panicked when I saw Ida entering and leaving the Baron's Mansion so unscrupulously.

But there is not enough reason to refuse, Ida's deliberate flattery is not something that ordinary people can refuse, Phyllis was surprised to find that her views on many issues are completely consistent with Ida, in other words, the three views of the two people are simply a match made in heaven, Ida is a few years older than Phyllis, and her views on many issues are more mature than Phyllis, I'm afraid Phyllis didn't find out, and she is now more and more fond of Ida.

Phyllis's mother died when Phyllis was very young, and then Philip did not remarry, and Phyllis had two older brothers, so when Phyllis was growing up, the role of mother was actually missing, and the appearance of Ida made up for the lack of this role around Phyllis to a certain extent.

So when Ada brought Gavin to Arthur, Roque was more embarrassed to be there, Roque was not there, but Phyllis and Ada got along very happily.

Ada is also very smart, and every time she comes over, she will bring a small gift to Phyllis, sometimes it is a hand-baked biscuit, sometimes it is the latest style of jewelry from Itno, and sometimes it is a dress for Gavin.

"Look at this, this is the standard Qing costume, and it is said that it is still a hat that can only be worn by the king of the Qing Kingdom-" Ida proudly introduced to Phyllis, in order to get the style of the hat, Ada has put a lot of thought into it.

"Really? It's ugly! Phyllis was a little surprised, the king's hat was not very pretty, and it was different from the crown that Phyllis had imagined.

If Luo Ke sees it, it is estimated that Luo Ke can laugh off his big teeth, the one in the Qing country is called the emperor, and the monarch of the European country is called the king, and the one worn by the emperor of the Qing country is called the "court crown", and the one that Ida got is the top flower feather worn by the Qing officials, which is two different things at all.

"It doesn't matter if it's ugly or not, the main thing is this symbolism, you don't know what the hat the king wears." If Ada had horns on her head and a tail behind her, she would be a little devil.

No, according to Western tradition, a banshee like Ida should be.

"I don't want Gavin to be king." Phyllis decisively refused, Ada's utilitarianism is still a bit heavy, which is the biggest difference between Ida and Phyllis.

"In Nyasaland, Gavin is the king." Ida was right, Gavin would definitely become the king of Nyasaland as soon as he grew up.

"I just want Gavin to grow up healthy and safe, and it doesn't matter if he is a king or not." Phyllis is not as utilitarian as Ada, looking at Arthur and Ada, who were happily playing with toys together, Phyllis said casually: "If you want, let Arthur inherit Locke's title in the future-"

This was said a bit casually, and as soon as the words came out, even Phyllis herself was surprised.

Ada's performance was even more surprised, and her eyes immediately turned red.

However, he was still able to stabilize his mood, and then Ada smiled: "Impossible, the future Baron of Nyasaland must be Gavin, and I want to train Arthur to be the most successful businessman in the world and Gavin's best assistant." ”

This can be regarded as a sign of heart, and Phyllis has mixed feelings in her heart, and she can't even speak for a while.

When Roque returned home in the evening, he saw Gavin wearing a flower feather on his head, and he was wearing a dragon robe that only an emperor could wear.

"Where did you get this?" Roque was still surprised, in two lifetimes combined, Roque was also the first time to see a real dragon robe.

"Aida sent it, don't you think it's very suitable?" Phyllis was relaxed when she mentioned Ada, and Roark was surprised, not knowing that the relationship between Phyllis and Ida had actually been so good.

"Wearing the wrong clothes, the emperor's clothes, the official's hat, it's just nondescript." Except for the Chinese, Roque didn't like everything about Qingguo.

"Don't you like it?" Phyllis was immediately sensitively aware of Roque's rejection.

"I'll find you the traditional clothes of real Chinese people another day, forget about these clothes, the rulers of the Qing Kingdom are not Chinese, and this set of clothes cannot represent the Chinese." Roque knew Ada's purpose, but the starting point was wrong, and the harder he tried, the more he strayed.

"It's okay, I think it's pretty good." Phyllis doesn't understand the relationship between the Chinese and the Qing Kingdom, just as Roque doesn't understand why so many small countries in Europe have not completed their reunification after so many years.

In Roque's view, the situation of small countries everywhere in Europe is really incredible, such as Belgium and Switzerland, which are weak and pitiful, but they can be passed down to the present, if it were in the East, it would have been annexed by a large country long ago.

In fact, this fully illustrates a truth, the Chinese are actually the most aggressive nation in the world, so there will be a huge empire in the East, if the Chinese are the same as the whites, it is estimated that the Qing State is still the Eastern Zhou countries.
