Make France Great Again

Late August 1856.

The "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" were officially implemented with the cooperation of local forces in Libreville.

On the first day when the ordinance was implemented, almost every street in Libreville had the specific content of the ordinance posted on it, which attracted residents living in Libreville to stop and watch.

After reading the specific content, many residents began to complain quietly to the Governor of Gabon, Jérôme Patterson, believing that Jérôme Patterson was controlling their freedom in disguised form.

A small number of residents also have the idea of ​​​​leaving Libreville and going elsewhere.

One week after the ordinance was implemented, more than 200 Libreville residents left Libreville for other places.

The director in charge of Libreville's resident census immediately told Jerome Patterson the news, and Jerome Patterson just said flatly, "Let them be!"

With more than 200 people as vanguards, more and more people began to march towards other strongholds.

By the end of August, nearly 1,000 Libreville residents had left for other strongholds.

This number is obviously somewhat unbearable for Libreville, which has a permanent population of only about 15,000 people.

The resident census director of Libreville once again came to Jerome Patterson and gritted his teeth and said to Jerome Patterson, "Your Majesty the Governor, I think there are big problems with your policies. !」

Jerome Patterson put his hands together and said calmly: "Mr. Director, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty the Governor, more than 1,000 people have left Libreville and gone inland! If this continues, more and more people will go to other strongholds! Libreville's economy will fall into a downturn!" Demographics Department The chief said to Jerome Patterson.

"So?" Jerome Patterson asked, slightly raising his eyebrows.

"I recommend that the Colonial Safety and Health Management Regulations be canceled immediately!" the director said sincerely to Jerome Patterson: "This is the only way we can truly retain those people!"

"Sir, why should I keep a group of people who don't love Libreville!" Jerome Patterson asked back, "I remember I told you a long time ago, those who should stay are destined to stay. Those who cannot stay are destined to be unable to stay!

I just gave them a little break in personal hygiene and they left Libreville!

It’s okay not to keep such people! "

"But Libreville needs people now!" the Director of Statistics said to Jerome Patterson: "If there is not enough population, our plantations may face a situation where no one can use them."

"Who says there is no one available!" Jerome Patterson said to the Director of Statistics again: "Aren't our soldiers stationed outside Libreville just a labor force? They can completely make up for those who left!"

"Aren't they the Foreign Legion?" the Director of Statistics looked at Jerome Patterson in surprise.

"Yes! They are indeed the Foreign Legion!" Jerome Patterson nodded and admitted, "However, their identity as a Foreign Legion is different from that of ordinary Foreign Legions!

They come through labor dispatch, so you can also regard them as workers! "

"If that's the case, then I have no objection!" the Director of Statistics replied to Jerome Patterson.

"Don't worry! Those people will come back!" Jerome Patterson then said to the Director of Statistics, "The environment in other strongholds is far inferior to ours!

Besides, this is a time of high incidence of malaria and cholera!

There is no guarantee that it will suddenly appear! "

…

In fact, just as Jerome Patterson expected, after entering September, the temperature in the entire west coast of central Africa was even higher than in August, and the number of mosquitoes at night gradually increased.

And those female mosquitoes carrying single cells of Plasmodium in their bodies also appeared. The residents living in the surrounding strongholds of Libreville did not pay much attention to them at first, but they were soon approached by mosquitoes carrying Plasmodium. These mosquitoes turned themselves into Plasmodium parasites are injected into the human body.

The malaria parasites that enter the human body through the blood begin to destroy the human body unscrupulously. The bodies of people with malaria begin to become hot and cold.

Soon, the first person to die of malaria appeared on September 3. Upon seeing this, the residents living around him fled the stronghold and returned to Libreville.

As the governor, Jerome Paterson, after hearing the news of malaria deaths in surrounding strongholds, quickly dispatched troops to spread sulfur purchased from France around the entire city.

At the same time, the residents living in Libreville once again thought of the "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" half a month ago, and they read the regulations completely in a panic.

When they saw that malaria was transmitted through mosquitoes, residents began to enthusiastically buy mosquito-proof tents, mosquito coils, and quinine.

Of course, mosquito-repellent incense and quinine could not be produced in large quantities during this period, so mosquito-repellent incense and quinine were things that only wealthy people could use.

Mosquito nets have naturally become a hot-selling item, with many residents even buying two or three mosquito coils per person.

And their purpose of doing this is just to make themselves feel better psychologically.

As time went by, all kinds of bad news continued to come from the surrounding strongholds.

In addition to malaria, a disease with a high fatality rate, cholera also followed.

The cholera outbreak occurred in a stronghold nearly 20 kilometers away from Libreville. When Dean Auster arrived with his doctors and nurses.

In a stronghold of 100 people, nearly 30% of the people were infected with cholera.

Dean Auster asked those patients when they got cholera and what they ate/drinked at that time!

The patients unanimously answered that they were caused by drinking raw water.

After the inquiry, President Oster, adhering to the spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded, ordered his subordinates to make their own simple stretchers. The patients with cholera were sent to the hospital.

When the residents of Libreville saw batch after batch of patients being carried from outside to Libreville for treatment, they could only feel grateful to Jerome Patterson.

It is precisely because of Jerome Patterson's unremitting efforts that Libreville is not known as an outbreak point of malaria and cholera.

But even so, Jerome Patterson still did not relax. He began to declare to the residents of Libreville that Libreville was in a state of emergency.

Overnight, many soldiers were stationed in Libreville, this time every street was guarded.

Under Jérôme Patterson's strict defense, the death toll in Libreville was only in single digits.

In mid-to-late September, as the temperature gradually drops.

Malaria and cholera also gradually went downhill, and Jerome Patterson began to order the lifting of the state of emergency and restore everything to its original state.

After hearing that Jerome Patterson had lifted the state of emergency, those residents who had been bet on malaria and cholera hurriedly found Jerome Patterson and begged him not to lift it for the time being.

This request of the residents of Libreville was immediately rejected by Jérôme Patterson.

The Governor's Palace also began to count the number of deaths in Libreville and surrounding strongholds.

After several days of statistics, it was found that the total number of deaths in Libreville and its surrounding strongholds during this month was 120, of which the vast majority of deaths occurred in the surrounding strongholds. Deaths in the city of Libreville There are only 15 people.

When Jérôme Patterson announced the death toll, the entire Libreville was in an uproar.

The death toll in Libreville can be said to be the lowest in recent years. Last year, the death rate in Libreville was still around 3% (this refers to people who live in urban areas and surrounding strongholds that are completely inland). Nowadays, Only less than 1% of people were lost.

This level is comparable to the disease mortality rate in Paris, and where is Paris and where is Libreville!

The gap between the two medical systems is simply huge.

Jerome Patterson's ability to achieve such results is enough to make him feel proud.

Therefore, Jérôme Patterson, under Rastignac's suggestion, once again summarized the "Colonial Safety and Health Regulations" and ordered them to be sent to Paris.

The steam clipper departed from Libreville all the way north to the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, then entered the Mediterranean Sea eastward, and arrived at Sidenote in early October.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was reviewing the Far East documents submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although everything in the file happened four months ago, it was still very valuable information for Jerome Bonaparte.

[PS: It takes half a year at the slowest and 3 to 4 months at the fastest for information from the Far East to reach France. 】

The document roughly states: With the help of French rifles, the peasant rebels of the Eastern Empire defeated the Tatar army several times in a row.

The Tatar troops, who were also equipped with French equipment, were no match for them at all. The peasant rebels only needed a single confrontation to capture them.

It's just that those people have always been unwilling to recognize the treaty signed by the Tatar government, and the Tatar government has been very active in recognizing the treaty.

Therefore, the counselor in Nanjing suggested that the Nanjing government should be abandoned immediately and support the Tatar government.

Only in this way can France preserve its interests in the Far East.

Moreover, the political structure of the Nanjing government is not stable. There are many conflicts between their prime minister (Dong Wang) and their king (Tian Wang). Their prime minister really wants to replace the king. Therefore, the embassy in Tianjing concluded that there is no relationship between the prime minister and the king. There is bound to be a conflict between them.

As for who wins and who loses, it is not certain.

However, they can be sure that if either party loses, it will bring great danger to the entire regime, because one of them is in charge of the secular power, and the other is the spiritual leader of the entire team. If either one is missing, the Nanjing government will be in crisis. , gradually heading towards destruction.
