Plague is a virulent infectious disease of Yersinia pestis transmitted mainly by rat fleas, and although the main route of transmission is rat-flea bites, Yersinia pestis can also be transmitted through breathing, talking, coughing, skin, and even undercooked infected meat.

Therefore, the key to dealing with the plague, removing the source of infection, disinfection, isolation, and even reducing human contact is the key, so the Governor's Office announced a ban on the movement of people at the first moment of the plague outbreak.

In this way, the Boers would lose their legal basis if they wanted to enter Johannesburg, and Johannesburg could keep the Boers out of the country.

"I heard that more than 2,000 people had died in Bloemfontein in three days, and it was estimated that nearly 10,000 people had been infected with the plague, and the Bloemfontein city government sent three telegrams to the Governor's Palace in one day, asking us in Johannesburg to provide medical support to Bloemfontein—" Owen was very upset when he mentioned the situation in Bloemfontein, and there were 2,000 people in three days, so you can imagine what kind of hell Bloemfontein is now.

Request?

Where did the Boers get this confidence!

"I haven't heard of it-" Roque has no mercy, the Boers are self-inflicted, Johannesburg's medical force is not blown by the wind, usually has nothing to do, and when something happens, he hopes for external support, and now the Boers are hopeless, and Roque would rather help those Zulus than provide even the slightest help to the Boers.

"Of course you haven't heard, the mayor doesn't agree, we don't have enough doctors of our own, and we can't help Bloemfontein." The old god Owen is here, Philip will definitely not be stupid in this kind of thing, Roque's heart is so ruthless that he won't even save his own people, will he save the Boers?

Don't be funny, Philip doesn't care about the life or death of the Boers, this year, everyone should take care of their own things.

"Have I been approved for my request? As you can see, this matter cannot be delayed, Bloemfontein needs our help, we also need the help of others, if something happens, no one can rely on it, we can only rely on ourselves. "Roque wants to take advantage of the situation and use this plague to get the most out of Johannesburg.

When the plague first broke out, Philip and Ade called London one after another, hoping to get physiotherapy support from London and more medicines.

London's reply was to study and study, and in fact everyone knew that "research and research" basically meant that there was no news at all, and that the plague in the Transvaal and Orange was estimated to be over when the results of the study were out of the work of London.

If it is someone else, if you don't get help, the most you can do is just a couple of scoldings to vent your anger.

Roque will definitely scold, but after scolding, Roque has a lot to do.

Yesterday, Roque proposed to the city that in view of the level of medical care in Johannesburg and the actual needs of Johannesburg, Roque wanted to establish a medical school in Ziwei Township and set up a pharmaceutical factory on the outskirts of Johannesburg.

Medical schools are not primary schools and require the approval of the Governor's Office to establish them.

The drug factory is a large project, and the Governor's Office needs to come forward to coordinate equipment and medicine experts, so Roque has to hand over the application to the city government first, and then the city government will apply to the Governor's Palace.

"The application has just been handed over to Pretoria, how can it be approved so quickly." Owen knows the process, and it will take at least half a month for the whole process to go down.

Roque can't wait, when the plague is over and there is no pain in the skin, it's hard to say whether Ade and Philip will support the establishment of a medical school and a drug factory, Roque just wants to strike while the iron is hot.

"I really don't know what to hesitate about, and I don't need the Governor's Mansion and the city government to pay for it, I just need the city government and the Governor's Office to coordinate the relationship, and then sit back and enjoy the results, is it difficult to approve this matter?" Roque was very dissatisfied with the bureaucracy of the city government and the governor's palace, which was obviously a good thing, and it should be done on a special basis.

The establishment of medical schools and pharmaceutical factories is good for the Transvaal and for the whole of Southern Africa.

Now there are no medical schools and pharmaceutical factories in the whole of southern Africa, even if a bottle of glucose, South Africa has to go all the way to Europe to buy it, and the cost of this back and forth has risen sharply, if Johannesburg sets up a pharmaceutical factory, then the price of drugs will drop by more than half, and the ultimate benefit is still Johannesburg people, and even everyone in southern Africa.

As for the medical school, the importance does not need to be repeated, the entire Transvaal, originally only one Cape of Good Hope University in Pretoria, but because of the war, the Cape of Good Hope University has not resumed classes, which has led to the Transvaal becoming a cultural desert.

Roque hopes that the establishment of a medical school will greatly improve the medical standard of the Transvaal and even the whole of southern Africa, with systematically trained doctors and cheap drugs produced by factories, the medical level of southern Africa will be raised to a higher level, and the government will not be helpless in the face of large-scale infectious diseases such as plague.

"Locke, it's not as simple as you think, if the Governor wants to put the school in Pretoria, if someone wants to inject money into the drug factory, then will you agree?" Owen asks a pointed question.

Everyone wants benefits, Johannesburg is full of gold mines, there are not too many rich people, rich people like Roque who have ideals and goals, they will spend the money as soon as they make it, and more rich people have money in their hands but no investment channels, if Roque announces the pharmaceutical factory plan, investors will flock to it, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

"Of course I agree, why not? If anyone is willing to invest, I'd love to do that, and as for schools, if the Governor wants to put schools in Pretoria, then pretoria. "Roque is indispensable, and if someone is willing to invest in a pharmaceutical factory, of course that's a good thing, and it's better to build a factory without Roque spending a penny.

As for the management of the factory after it is completed, Roque will definitely firmly control it, and if anyone has any objections, then it is better to withdraw the shares, and Roque will not force it.

Even the school, Roque will not force him to stay in Johannesburg, if Ade wants to put the school in Pretoria, Roque will not care about the construction of the school anymore, Roque believes in Ade, but Roque does not believe in those officials in Pretoria, no matter how good things are, give them to those officials, those people can make a mess.

With regard to the conduct of officials, a recent example is the sewer in Johannesburg.

Because of the outbreak of the plague, Johannesburg exterminated rodents, and the sewers were the hardest hit area for rats and the top priority of rodent eradication, and as a result, the situation of the sewers was exposed, which became a major scandal in Johannesburg.

According to the requirements of the City of Johannesburg, Johannesburg's sewer standards should be on par with those of major cities such as London, Paris and New York, and build a world-class sewer system.

As a result, after the outbreak of the plague, the staff who had to enter the sewer to clean and disinfect were surprised to find that except for some important road sections, most of the sewers in Johannesburg were seriously unqualified, and some sections of the sewers could not be entered, not to mention that they could run horses, and people could not enter when they bent down, and the sewers in some sections were less than one meter high, and even the sewers in some sections were completely blocked.

After the matter was revealed, the officials in charge of the municipal construction and the company that undertook the sewer construction were unlucky, and Philip was furious, and sent four officials of the Home Office and three heads of the companies that undertook the sewer works to prison, and in addition to fines, the three companies were ordered to rectify the situation, and the losses of the three companies were more than 100,000 pounds.

- By the way, two of the three companies are Christian's property.

Christian was now outside the police station, but Roque was nowhere to be seen.

For a long time, Christian has been undertaking projects under the banner of Roque, and now that there is a problem with the project undertaken by Christian, it is already very face-saving for Philip not to hold Roque responsible, at least Roque will not give Christian a good face during this time.

"I really don't care?" Owen didn't believe Roque was so generous.

"Of course I don't care, in fact, Ziwei Hospital is training doctors and nurses, in a few days, there will be more than a dozen doctors trained by Ziwei Hospital to Nyasaland, the governor wants to put the medical school in Pretoria, then in Pretoria, it's a big deal that I will build another one in Nyasaland." Roque has a lot of room for maneuver to do things now, Roque still has some scruples about doing things on the Transvaal side, and on the Nyasaland side, Roque doesn't need anyone's approval to do anything.

I'm afraid that both Ade and Owen haven't realized that in recent months, there have been fewer and fewer experts and professors in Johannesburg, and many experts and professors have gone directly to Nyasaland.

In these days, it is actually very simple to set up a school.

There are rich people and people, and it is a matter of minutes to set up a university, and it just so happens that Roque has both.

It is said that Roque is now a baron, and he has a super large territory, and there are hundreds of millions of ounces of gold as a base, if it is to build Nyasaland, Roque can also smash Nyasala with money.

The key is what to do after smashing it.

The British government certainly did not want to see a strong Nyasaland in southern Africa, because it would affect British influence in southern Africa and replace Britain in turning southern Africa into a dumping ground for Nyasaland goods.

The countries surrounding Nyasaland will certainly be vigilant because of Nyasaland's strength.

Even the Transvaal and Rhodesia will be troubled by the power of Nyasaland.

A region with strong industrial capacity, strong scientific research capacity, food self-sufficiency, obvious aggressiveness, extremely strong mobilization capacity, and, crucially, enough people to mobilize, deserves the vigilance of all countries.

To put it mildly, by that time, Nyasaland will be almost at the end of the road, think about Israel in the Middle East, if there is no United States, what will happen to Israel, then what will happen to Nyasaland.
