"My opinion is to divide the military barracks into three to four rows as an independent unit, and set a time for the handover of duties during a special period to reduce or even isolate the contact between the units."

"A large pot is set up inside the unit. High temperature is the easiest disinfection method. Even if we can't cook people in an iron pot, all utensils must be boiled in boiling water, especially tableware and clothing."

"Bath! Our soldiers must take a bath, and the patient is no exception. If there is enough wine, use wine to disinfect the dormitory."

"Then there is excretion. Excretion must not be carried out in the dormitory. Each unit uses an independent toilet. The excrement must be cleaned out of the barracks and buried every day, and lime should be sprinkled before burying."

"Finally, it is the daily ethics of the barracks. It is not allowed to drink raw water or eat fresh food, wash hands before and after meals, and change clothes every day."

"Prostitution is strictly prohibited during vacation! Locals may not be susceptible to tropical diseases, but it does not mean that they will not become carriers. At this juncture, we cannot risk access to new sources of disease..."

With Daniel's diagnosis for Nelson, Lorraine and Spencer discussed an epidemic prevention plan in the empty study.

San Carlos is very important to them, not only as a bridgehead to continue the offensive, but also as the ultimate way to survive and retreat.

But now the British army has weakened so much that it has almost reached the bottom line of maintaining the stability of the town. Until Daniel finds the right treatment, it is now a top priority not to allow the number of patients to continue to increase.

In response to this situation, Spencer has done a lot.

He isolated the sick soldier, set up a sterile ward, and assigned a specialist for cooking. What Lorraine needs to do is to develop ideas for him to further reduce the risk.

After listening to Spencer's basic introduction, Lorraine began to talk endlessly, combining some of the epidemic prevention methods that later generations heard, but more of the tricks used on the ship to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Spencer recorded them one by one, interjecting from time to time.

When the discussion was over, he handed over the plan to the adjutant, raised his head and asked Lorraine: "How is Fremany?"

"He?" Lorraine didn't turn his mind for a moment. "He's healthy, and no epidemic has been found on Passatra Island."

"No... I know your person is not sick, I asked him to be on your boat..."

Lorraine suddenly realized: "He is a duck, even if he can swim, it is not useful in a short time. I asked Barto to teach him to swim, swimming like a real sailor, which is considered to be entering the learning stage."

This non-perfunctory attitude seemed to make Spencer very happy: "I hope he has chosen the right path this time!"

"It must be a wealthier road than an army officer. I can't give any guarantee for the rest."

The two were chatting, and the tired Daniel pushed in.

Lorraine looked at his face and suddenly had some bad feelings: "How is our commander-in-chief?"

"Probably a curse..."

curse.

Leaving aside all mysterious descriptions, Lorraine roughly heard that Nelson's disease should be a parasitic disease.

Daniel was unable to determine the type of parasite, which required blood collection and observation with a microscope.

However, this kind of gadgets invented by the Dutch more than a hundred years ago is not popular. As far as Daniel knows, the nearest one is in Havana, and further afield is Boston University.

Far can't quench near thirst.

Alchemy's judgment on parasitic diseases originated from the conclusion of Aristotle's research. The great ancient Greek scientific master who knows everything is wrong, believes that "worms are not living things", so they cannot be killed biologically.

Daniel proposed alchemy therapy, which is to prepare an oral pill based on mercury and sulfur, let Nelson take it, and thoroughly kill those vicious grudges through the aggressiveness of mercury.

Lorraine turned pale when she heard it, and asked weakly, "How much mercury does that pill need?"

"The dosage is about ten grams, and the amount I carry with me is enough, but I can only make up to three copies of this medicine, because I need to use ivory powder produced in Africa, and I don't have too many medicines."

Ivory + sulfur + mercury... and ten grams of mercury.

Lorraine fully believed that most of the parasites on Nelson's body would be killed, but if no accident, Nelson should have died earlier than the bugs.

Daniel’s treatment plan was immediately rejected by Lorraine. Daniel said that conservative treatment requires a lot of medicine and time, and under current conditions, he can only stabilize his condition at best. To restore Nelson’s health, he must return to Europe. .

Lorraine informed Nelson of the result, and Nelson was silent for a long time and nodded slightly.

"Major, please report my situation to Major General Darling. It seems that I have to leave from the sea-holding operation. San Carlos needs a new commander and wants to advance to Managua after the heavy rain. The troops suffering from illness must also be reinforced. This is my last suggestion..."

...

Seventeen days later, on June 14, 1780, Major General Linda’s messenger set foot on the land of San Carlos on the Cangqing Dewdrop that reported the letter.

After these days, the illness in the army has finally stabilized under Daniel's day and night labor. Seventy percent of the patients, including Nelson, have regained the power to walk on the ground.

The new ethics have played a huge role. There are only 12 new cases and only 3 people have died due to illness.

The messenger thanked everyone for their efforts. In Nelson's bedroom, he read Major General Darling's decision in front of Lorraine, Nelson, and Spencer.

Nelson immediately returned to Kingston, and after a further treatment, he will return to Plymouth with Colonel William Cornwallis’ Prairie Lion, and transfer to London for the final recuperation.

Major Spencer and the army soldiers participating in the operation will be evacuated in batches within 40 days. Five newly established Miskito companies will take over the defense here. Nominally, the new troops belong to the Miskito Kingdom. Great Britain has nothing to do with it.

After the termination of the employment contract, the Government of Jamaica will provide a 25% tax rate concession as compensation for early termination of the contract for a total of 18 months this year and next year.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce can decide on its own itinerary, but Governor Darling personally expressed pessimism about the next British-Spanish relations in Nicaragua and suggested that the Drake Chamber of Commerce suspend business with the place.

In a word, the sea-holding operation was aborted.

Spencer expressed great incomprehension about this decision, and excitedly argued: "We have solved Grenada! God, we have solved the biggest trouble and captured the two major generals. Managua is almost ours. What's in the bag, why should the sea-holding operation be cut in half at this time!"

The messenger sighed regretfully: "The Governor knows your success and efforts, Oliver. But the problem is not with our army, but with the navy that even the Governor can't reach."

"navy?"

"Col. Nelson has to return to the mainland is a huge loss for all of us. After his transfer order was clear, the third phase of the operation could no longer find a sea commander with the appropriate rank and ability."

"Col. Cornwallis believes that sending his friends back to England is more meaningful work than military exploits. Lieutenant Colonel Collingwood is not enough to command ships of Tier 4 and above and is not suitable for becoming a new commander. The remaining candidates are to be selected. Don’t refuse, or in vain. The Governor met with seven people, and after discussing with Sir Parker, he finally gave up the action.”

"Could it be... I can't find..."

"Yes, I can't find it!" The messenger looked into Spencer's eyes. "The actions against San Carlos and Managua are for the third stage. Without the support of the navy, there is no victory in the third stage. Opportunity, there is no point in this war going on. Go home and stop letting our soldiers bleed needlessly. Enough people have died..."

The last words of the messenger let Lorraine hear the overtones. The epidemic caused 46 deaths. In addition to the deaths of nearly 30 people before, the huge non-war losses were probably another important reason for Major General Darling's retreat.

He and Nelson looked at each other clearly, and Nelson stood up and applauded.

"The war is over, gentlemen. No matter what decision Jamaica makes, we are the undoubted victors."

"Life will inevitably have regrets. This is also a gift from God. I only ask you to remember this beautiful day. I only look forward to one day when we can have the opportunity to work together again."

"So, goodbye, my... friends."

...

After the resolution, San Carlos entered the intensive handover of defense.

Nelson, who was in a stable condition, left with the messenger in the green dewdrops on June 15. Spencer will not return to Jamaica until the end of the entire change of defense.

Lorraine returned to Pasatra for ten days, only doing two things, releasing Baron Torrecias, and signing a resale agreement for the Pasatra Manor.

The manor was sold back to the original owner, and the price was further discounted, only four thousand six hundred pounds.

After clearing the beginning and the end, the sailors sent by Chuck to receive the battleship arrived. The Shengshi and San Carlos formed a formation and sailed into the San Juan River, where the water level was soaring. Standing on the bow of the Shengshi, Lorraine suddenly felt a sense of direction. Missing.

What should I do next?

Smuggling in New Orleans? Pirate Wars in the Caribbean?

They all seem to lack a clear motivation.

Maybe... Let's take a break in Lucy first. I was actually sick last time, and even my body started to protest to myself.

As he was thinking, Daniel walked to Lorraine with his usual poker face.

"Captain, I heard that you have harvested a lot of materials on the fountain of youth this time?"

"What's the matter?" Lorraine raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't anyone tell you about this?"

"I have been busy before, first checking the estate's assets, then treating illnesses and fighting the epidemic. I have never been able to free up my hands to look at the so-called information."

"Let's go and see it, it's not a big deal, it's piled up in the bottom cabin with the few Mayan artifacts."

"I've seen it, it's very valuable."

Lorraine raised his eyebrows and looked at Daniel from a different place.

"Daniel, you have aroused my curiosity. What is it that makes you hesitate and stop talking to me?"

Daniel cleared his throat: "Captain, I voluntarily give up the income of New Orleans and the Chamber of Commerce for the next three years in exchange for ownership of these materials."

"That's a lot of money."

"For a half-toned doctor and an unsuccessful royal alchemist, it's worth it."

Unexpected answer.

Lorraine stared at Daniel~lightnovelpub.net~ and said softly: "Daniel, you never seem to say why you got on the boat."

"I will say, if there is a harvest this time, I need your help and I will remove the scars. But that requires a process."

"I'll wait." Lorraine smiled, "The information is yours. You don't need to give up anything. I know that your research needs money, and it costs nothing less than Carmen."

Daniel bowed silently, turned around, and left.

Looking at his back, Lorraine muttered to himself.

"Isn't it the old spring... I didn't expect that I would still drip into this muddy water in the end."

"Blackbeard, are you looking forward to it?"
