Chapter 107 104. The Alarm Bells Ring(1/2)

Chapter 107 104. Alarm bells ringing

Morasso is the son of Franz's grandmother's sister, and he actually has little to do with the royal family. It's just that he is similar in age to Franz, and he has made many military exploits in the army. Coupled with his good character and hereditary earl title, he

He became one of the few close friends of the king.

Now with Mariana, Morazo's status has been further improved, and he has reached the point where he can talk to the king about everything.

This change was intuitively reflected on the way back after the wedding.

An ordinary open-top wedding carriage only seats two people, usually the newlyweds share one. The king and queen have their own chauffeurs, and everyone else is free to do so. Before getting into the carriage, Elizabeth suddenly suggested that she and her sister should be alone to reminisce about old times. Franz knew that she

I was in a bad mood, so I agreed directly.

According to normal interpersonal relationships, Morasso would definitely be closer to Ignatz, and the king, who was diligent in government affairs, would have a private chat with Viscount Clichy, who occupies a seat in the House of Representatives.

But in fact, Franz uncharacteristically pulled Morasso into his car.

This is a large carriage that can seat six people. In addition to Franz and Morasso, there is also a palace guard chief responsible for the king's safety and two accompanying guards: "Chief guard, please be sure to follow the queen."

Stay with me to ensure her safety."

"yes."

"By the way, please get Mr. Laszlo into the car."

"Okay, Your Majesty the King."

This strange distribution method did not come to an end, but further affected Kavi. As the "personal doctor" who came here with Morasso, he was supposed to go with Ignatz, but in the end he was taken by Morasso.

Suo pulled him up.

Morasso handed Carvey's cane and surgical instrument box to the two guards behind the car: "Let's go home~"

In addition to the two guards at the rear of the car, four men with very different personalities were seated in the center seat.

Morazo was wearing a white officer's uniform with seven or eight medals hanging on his chest, but he did not behave like a soldier. Laszlo was dressed in the traditional dress of a wealthy businessman, a brown vest, a black coat and a close-fitting

Breeches, there are not many decorations on the body but they are all exquisite.

The young king, who is under 40 years old, is wearing a dark blue military uniform. Although he has an ordinary figure, he is very heroic and exudes the majestic aura of a king from the inside out.

Kawei didn't have time to learn their aristocratic etiquette, and he didn't bother to learn it. Even if he asked the count to help him pay hundreds of crowns, it still couldn't cover up his civilian temperament.

Fortunately, the king did not pay attention to these and showed no disdain. Of course, he would not be as enthusiastic and generous as Morasso. He just regarded Kavi as an ordinary person, and the only thing he was interested in was Morasso's reason for inviting him to the car.

.

"Franz, he is Kavi."

Morasso smiled and introduced to the king: "You have always said that I allowed you to see Elizabeth, but if we get to the bottom of it, it was actually this young doctor who personally brought your beautiful and charming wife back to Vienna."

Kawei was confused by what he heard and didn't know what the logical relationship was, so he shook Franz's hand in confusion.

"So you are Mr. Carvey Hines." Franz said with a smile on his face, "I heard that you cured the count's disease."

Kawei did not dare to claim credit randomly: "All of this is a blessing from God, I was just helping."

"Haha~" Franz laughed, "God wants to lock him in the confessional and repent, how could he bless him? Mr. Carvey is so humble, and Morasso wrote the entire treatment process in his diary.

You showed it to me a few days ago, and it was indeed very bold.”

"It made you laugh."

"Without you, the count would not be able to survive. Without the count, Mariana would not come to Vienna to get married." The king helped clarify the relationship, "Without Mariana."

Suddenly, Franz looked at Laszlo who was standing aside: "By the way, Mr. Laszlo, I remember that your throat was also cured by a doctor named Kavi. Could it be?"

"Your guess is correct, Your Majesty the King."

Austro-Hungarian cooperation is not only Austria's current national policy, but also a political achievement that the Queen has always wanted to help share and complete. If Laszlo's bond is broken, although the two sides will not lose the opportunity to cooperate, they will definitely lose a lot of benefits.

It will also bring more difficulties to future integration.

"Mr. Carvey, thank you."

Kawei's face was flattered, and he was relieved in his heart. Thinking of the chain reactions brought about by rescuing the two of them, he deserves to be grateful:

"Mr. Laszlo's time was more about luck. I just helped to adjust the position of the horn tube in the end. The Earl is especially grateful for his good health. If it had happened to others, it would have taken more than half a month to recover.

"

"Mr. Carvey is still humble." Franz said, "In the army, I have seen many soldiers with festering wounds, but they are not as relaxed as you make it sound."

"Some new methods are definitely needed."

Hearing these words, Morasso felt a chill in his lower right abdomen. He quickly adjusted his sitting posture and placed his hands protectively on his groin: "Stop talking, it's making my area start to hurt again."

"Is it really that exaggerated? You previously proposed that this debridement technique should be promoted within the military."

"The method is good, but the process is really hard to compliment."

Seeing the king's interest, Kawei was unwilling to miss this opportunity: "Your Majesty, surgery has developed rapidly. Now it has entered a new chapter. Wound ulceration is no longer a serious disease that cannot be solved. This is from Crimea.

This new method has been tried since the beginning of the Asian War, and the effect is very good."

Franz sat upright, "But I heard that the chance of ulceration of surgical incisions in Vienna Hospital is still very high."

"This kind of data needs time to be updated. The report your Majesty saw should be from last year." Kawei explained, "If you can come to the Municipal General Hospital and take a look, you can discover the effects of this new technology.

"

"What about other hospitals?"

"Surgeons in other hospitals don't believe in new theories and techniques, so their wards remain the same."

"Mr. Kawei, the top doctors in the country who can work in the operating theater in Vienna are all the best doctors in the country. Why do they oppose this new and effective technology?"

"The emergence of new theories and new technologies has both motivation and resistance, and it will certainly bring doubts and distrust from the outside world." Kawei looked at Morasso and said, "But, Your Majesty, science pays attention to objective facts, and this

The facts are sitting in front of you."

Franz knew very well that with a wound as serious and festering as Morasso's, it would be a miracle to survive.

He took a deep breath, looked at the Earl who was in good health, and nodded: "The ulceration of the incision is related to the logistics support and care of the army. I really need to listen to your opinion."

Kawei never thought that a high-ranking king could be more humble and studious than surgeons who were well-read in medical books. From the moment he started talking about the relationship between microorganisms and incision ulcers, he had been listening carefully.

"Your Majesty the King, medical care is related to the health of every citizen." Kawei said, "So in principle, social medical care should be the same as the military's logistical medical care, and it needs to be mandatory."

Franz was a little surprised: "Could there be differences among doctors?"

"The speed of medical development and update is too fast." Kawei explained, "There will always be many people who can't keep up with the pace, and now it seems that such people still account for the majority."

This sentence seemed to touch something in Franz's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This is true of medicine, so why not be true of government affairs."

Obviously, there are too many things that need to be solved urgently in front of Franz. Changing the medical system and popularizing disinfection and nursing work are not yet on his work schedule. What is more important now is still the relationship with Hungary.

Laszlo is a Hungarian, but with such a large industry, he has to understand the languages ​​of neighboring countries.

Hungary was originally a vassal state of Austria. Laszlo learned German from his father's business when he was a child. According to etiquette, since he is just a civilian in a vassal state who understands German, he should choose standard Austrian German when communicating with the king. This is a sign of respect for the leader.

The most basic respect.

But Franz started the conversation in Hungarian before him, seemingly to make it easier for Laszlo, but in fact he didn't want others to hear the conversation.

Naturally, Kavi didn't understand Hungarian, and he understood the intention of doing so. He turned his face knowingly and looked out the window at the Danube River. We were still a long way from the count's manor on the outskirts of the city, so why not take in the scenery along the way.

As for the business with Laszlo, there will be lunch and dinner later, and there is still time.

Since crossing over to Austria, Kavi has been busy with work and has no time to rest. The carriage leaving the church will go west along the Danube River, which is a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coast.

The deserted spring sun is reflected on the Danube River passing through the city. This beautiful scenery is Vienna's most beautiful business card.

Sitting upside down on the carriage, in front of Kawei's eyes was an oil painting that kept moving forward, with a yacht in the distance and a human figure in the distance. Although it is not as good as the "skylight above and below, a vast expanse of blue" in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", it can still be called

The scenery is beautiful.

But for him, who was used to seeing the great rivers and mountains of his motherland, this river seemed too delicate after all and only gave him a petty air.

On the contrary, the various types of music that appear from time to time on both sides of the river bring more fun to the Danube, which is refreshing to listen to. It also reminds Kawei of the grace and melodiousness of "The Blue Danube". emmm, count the time now

, it seems that it is not far away from the time when Strauss the Younger officially composed and completed this great waltz.

Let’s go to the concert hall to try the live version when I have the opportunity in the future.

The monotonous sound of horse hoofbeats and the repeated Hungarian language in his ears made Kavi's eyelids close together. When he woke up again, the poetic and picturesque scene before his eyes had long gone. The Danube was still the same Danube, but the leisurely and contented crowd just now was no longer there.

Becoming restless.

The cruise ship in the distance was docking, and there were screams from the shore.

"Stop the car quickly!" Franz shouted to the driver, "There seems to be something wrong there."

One of the two guards jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go take a look."

"Um."

At this time, Kawei's mind had just turned on, and he was in a daze: "What's wrong?"

"Something happened by the river." Morasso stood up and looked around. "They are all looking at the river. There are people everywhere. Wait, the people on the boat seem to have brought fishhooks, as if they are salvaging something."

The guard who went to inquire quickly brought the latest news: "Your Majesty, someone fell into the water on the boat, and they are rescuing him."

Franz raised his head and glanced at the bustling crowd: "Then why are you still standing there? Go and save people!"
