Chapter 1155 The new decision of the Governor of Hong Kong
For nearly two hours, Nightingale and Mu Ziqing took the nurses to check the patients' conditions and complete the grouping.
At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock.
The night was dark, and dark clouds gathered in the sky, blocking out the sun. The lights swaying in the sea breeze formed a ray of light, dispersing the darkness of the night, making the venue as bright as day. The doctors who treated patients were busy without rest. Time, even if you yawn or doze off, as long as you can persist, try to persist.
On the one hand, the doctors are all very well-educated and have the spirit to save lives and heal the wounded; on the other hand, Huan Xiaolang, the most elite doctor, is still insisting, so they have no reason to take a break first.
Bennett yawned several times and was very tired.
After a long day, I was already very tired.
Usually, Bennett goes to bed before 10 pm and has a very regular schedule. But now he is treating patients and he has stayed up until past 12 pm, but unfortunately he has no time to rest.
"No, Chinese doctors don't even take a break. I can't lose to them."
Bennett took a sip of cold water to stimulate his slow brain and continued his diagnosis and treatment.
Time flew by and more than half an hour disappeared in an instant.
By this time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the cold wind was blowing lightly, making it a bit cold.
After Bennett finished diagnosing and treating the patient, he temporarily asked the patients in line to wait. He stood up and stretched his waist. He stood at the door and stretched out his head to look at the situation in the venue. Looking around, there were still long queues a hundred meters away. Under the thatched hut, doctors were treating patients seriously. Seeing this scene, Bennett gritted his teeth and rushed to wash his face with cold water.
He continued to endure it and treated the patients, but at half past two, he couldn't hold on any longer.
"If you are cruel, I will admit defeat and fight again tomorrow."
Bennett muttered in his heart, stopped the treatment, and announced that it would continue tomorrow morning.
However, Bennett's impression of Huan Xiaolang as a doctor from China was greatly changed, and he was impressed by the spirit he showed. Treating people without sleep like this consumes both physical strength and mental energy, and is stressful. It's very big, but it's not easy for the doctor on the other side to persist until now.
He lay on the bed to rest, his mind went blank, and he soon fell asleep.
In the venue, the lights are still bright.
Huan Xiaolang and other doctors still insisted on treating patients. At about four o'clock in the morning, many patients in the queue could no longer bear it and rested in place. Huan Xiaolang and other doctors were also mentally exhausted and some could not hold on any longer. At this time, Huan Xiaolang announced that he would stop treatment and took a group of doctors and nurses to rest.
…
This night, the official residence of the Governor-General.
In the study, the oil lamp is bright.
Hong Kong's Colonial Secretary Zi Sha sat respectfully, with his body upright and his expression serious, "Mr. Governor, according to the news sent back by the soldiers, the food sent to Hong Kong from the north has been distributed to the people affected by the disaster. Several people from the north have All ten doctors also stayed at the clinic to treat the people, and they stayed up late to treat the people. They were very dedicated."
Ma Sha is British, but he can speak fluent Chinese.
He arrived in Hong Kong in 1845, and it has been nearly twenty years since then. In 1854, after Po Ling became the governor of Hong Kong, he was appointed as the Colonial Secretary. When Robinson took over the post of governor of Hong Kong, he remained the same. He is the Secretary-General of the Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong. Historically, Masha once served as the interim governor, but he spent more time in the position of Colonial Secretary.
During his tenure in Hong Kong, Masha made great contributions to the development of Hong Kong.
He participated in the formulation of Hong Kong's currency, assisted the later Governor McDonald in setting up the Mark Six Lottery, and used the proceeds from the gambling as charity expenses. In addition, there is also a "Masha Street" named after Masha in Hong Kong.
This has left a heavy mark in the history of Hong Kong Island.
After Masha reported the news, seeing Robinson frowning and saying nothing, he continued: "Mr. Governor, Chinese doctors are practicing medicine in Hong Kong. This is a good thing for the people affected by the disaster and can solve many problems for us. "
"It's not a good thing, it's a big bad thing."
Robinson slapped his hand on the desk and shouted: "China's move is extremely detrimental to us."
Masha asked: "Why did Mr. Hong Kong Governor say that?"
He did not understand Robinson's thoughts, because countless fishermen on Hong Kong Island were affected by the disaster and lost their source of livelihood. Such a situation was not what Masha wanted to see because it was not conducive to the development of Hong Kong. However, the Hong Kong government was also facing many difficulties. , and Robinson is more concerned with attracting more businessmen or people from Britain, the United States, France and other countries to immigrate here, and does not pay attention to the people of Hong Kong, so Masha approves China's assistance.
With this batch of assistance, the residents of the island can survive the difficult times.
Robinson sat down slumped and sighed, "Director Masha, things are not as simple as you think. You consider the problem from the perspective of people's livelihood. It is indeed beneficial to the people affected by the disaster. However, the president of China sent such a group of On the one hand, this team really has the intention of rescuing the people, but on the other hand, it has more political intentions and is purposeful, which is very detrimental to us."
"What political intention."
Masha leaned forward and his expression became solemn.
Robinson said: "Gather the people's hearts."
Masha shook his head and chuckled, and said: "Mr. Governor, Hong Kong Island is in our hands. Even if doctors can win over the people by treating residents, it will have no impact on us. As long as Britain remains strong, China cannot take back Hong Kong."
"No, China's President Li Zhen cannot sit idly by and ignore it." Robinson said with concern and a worried expression in his eyes: "This time Hong Kong Island was hit by a disaster, Chinese doctors and businessmen arrived in Hong Kong hand in hand, and China The president must know, and I think Li Zhen may use this as a breakthrough to take back Hong Kong."
Masha shook his head and said: "Impossible."
Robinson said: "Anything is possible."
After a pause, Robinson continued: "Director Masha, I do not deny your talent in governing the local area, but when it comes to political matters, you are far from adequate and cannot see the underlying issues. We are snatching it from China's hands." If we go to Hong Kong, then Li Zhen won't dare to go back. Even if Li Zhen doesn't use the army, he can still use other means, so we can't take it lightly."
Masha knew that he was not good at playing politics, so he asked, "What are your plans, Mr. Governor?"
Robinson stood up and paced in the study with his hands behind his back.
He lowered his head and thought carefully, and after a moment, he said loudly: "The doctors sent by Li Zhen are to treat the affected residents on Hong Kong Island. This is to win over the people. In this case, we also sent doctors from Hong Kong Island Hospital. Participate in the rescue and solve the problems encountered by the residents. In this way, countless people will definitely support the Hong Kong government and will not be attracted by Li Zhen."
Masha's face showed joy and he nodded repeatedly.
He said to himself, if you had issued such an order earlier, the Hong Kong government would not be so passive. However, it would also be good news for the people affected by the disaster that Robinson could change his mind.
