Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 380 376. Zurich

Duke Bozinan's ranking was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Kawei was surprised by the sudden jump. Later he learned that the so-called viscount was mostly awarded to the heir of an earl. The original meaning was deputy earl, but it was not impressive and unpleasant to pronounce, so he became viscount.

Kawei is alone now and has no father, so it makes sense to give him directly to the earl.

After all, he treated a large number of wounded in the Olmitz Fortress Military Hospital, supported the Western Front battlefield without fear of danger, and made a lot of military exploits. Then he went to Paris non-stop and made important contributions to diplomacy.

And this promotion is not limited to Kawei alone. Even Bergt's father, Viscount Clichy, who has been staying in Vienna, has also been promoted, and of course Bergt himself is no exception.

Generally speaking, Carvey's title of earl is convincing. Mick said: "I would never have thought that the baron succession proved to be a piece of waste paper after a lot of effort. Even if there is a relationship between us, A lot of contradictions, but I still want to congratulate you, Mr. Earl.”

"Thank you."

Kawei must express his gratitude, and then slowly change the passive situation, at least not put himself in an important position in teaching: "Your Majesty the Queen, I think Prince Rudolf is very smart. What he needs is not knowledge learning, but a kind of Emotional guidance.”

"Oh? Franz seems to have said something similar." Elizabeth said, "He has always missed his teacher, Prime Minister Clemens Metternich. He said that if he were still alive, he would definitely train Rudolf to become a true heir."

Kawi immediately borrowed the opportunity: "I don't have the governance and diplomatic skills of the Prime Minister, but I can recommend a candidate."

When Carvey accepted the simple canonization of earl, the train slowly leaving Paris and the heavy snow outside the window made Sedieu feel a little regret. In fact, there is really only a trace, like tender grass in winter, which cannot withstand the ravages of the north wind.

At first they just talked about their respective itineraries.

"As far as I know, Grand Duchess Sophie is very fond of this son."

"he?"

The empress dowager has always been a thorn in Elizabeth's side, and also represents the various constraints placed on her by the palace. Since Rudolf's birth, the restraints have weakened, but Sophie still controls the opinions of most ministers. The appearance of Maximilian has eased the relationship within the royal family. If Rudolph is added, it may become more harmonious.

"Oh? What does this mean?"

Elizabeth didn't know much about the former king who fled back to Vienna in disgrace. Because giving up his inheritance rights and the title of Emperor of Mexico one after another seemed too embarrassing, and people could not give him much trust: "Is it really possible for a monarch of a small and down-to-earth country to be given to him by France?"

"Who?"

"The former Emperor of Mexico and the current governor, Lord Maximilian."

"Morasso's rush to assist the Western and Northern Fronts was also based on the overall victory on the Southern Front." Carvey said, "As a witness, I know how thrilling it was at that time. If the situation on the Italian side of the Southern Front is not clear enough, Morasso will definitely be the winner." Can’t keep up.”

The cause was the young Austrian doctors who had been on the same stage. Somehow they talked about the transit point of the trip, Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland.

Elizabeth didn't have the energy to cause friction with her, and Budapest was really not a suitable place for her son to go. Maybe, as Kavey said, choosing Maximilian was the right choice?

Elizabeth didn’t understand war, but she knew some politics, and this was an important reason why Carvey recommended Maximilian: “In addition, he is a liberal.”

Seeing that the situation was favorable, Kawei delivered the final blow: "Actually, from the perspective of Her Majesty the Queen, Lord Maximilian is also an excellent candidate."

"I didn't make it clear, Your Majesty. The so-called liberal is just a label he used in the past."

"Ah?" Elizabeth was surprised, "Originally, we were looking for the teacher because he was too free and would be too embarrassed to hold a big position in the future. How could we still..."

"I remember it was Count Morasso who captured Emperor Pu's son, that's why"

"I understand." She coughed twice and asked the attendant to bring a shawl and put it on her body. "When we get to Budapest, I will have a good discussion with Franz."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Elizabeth seemed to understand what he meant, and the balance of preference in her heart was tilting towards Maximilian.

"But he is now also a hero in the Austro-Prussian War. The victory on the southern front influenced the final battle situation."

Kawei said: "I met him once in the military department before. The failure experience in Mexico did not knock him down, but became his wealth. Moreover, that failure was mostly caused by insufficient military power. If given Sufficient army, with his outstanding military ability"

Hermann and Damilgan will both return to Vienna. The three of them are now considered the backbone of the Municipal General Hospital. Without them, many operations would have to be postponed. Moreover, it was never their goal to be Kawei's assistant. It was to perform their own operations and continue to practice their surgical skills.

Bergert's technology did not reach this point, or it could be said that it did not meet his personal expectations, so he decided to follow Kavi and get off in Zurich.

Amor and Karen had been hesitating, but in the end they decided to return to Vienna, putting the surgical operation of the Municipal General Hospital first.

Finally it was Cediyo’s turn.

He originally wanted to go to Vienna. For a middle-aged and elderly man in his 50s who has never left Paris, adapting to the environment in advance is very useful for developing his skills.

However, the completion of the previous throat cancer surgery was too weird, which made him curious about Kawei's identity. This kind of curiosity must always be by his side to get the answer. After getting on the train and struggling, Cediyo decided to follow Kawei to recuperate in Switzerland for a while.

"Switzerland is the only non-monarchy country in Europe. In fact, it is a collection of small federations, which feels a bit rundown." Damirgan started chatting first, "Teacher Billroth stayed in Zurich for a while and talked about That place just shook his head.”

"It's inland, so it definitely can't be compared with Vienna and Paris."

"The only places you can see in Zurich are the Alpine resorts and a few freshwater lakes, but it's not summer yet. It's a pity." Berget picked up a newspaper and said, "Compared to the urban area, it's a bit behind. But the water quality of the lake is definitely cleaner than that of the Seine and Danube, at least it doesn’t look that dirty.”

“But there’s always a last-century feel there.”

"Okay, maybe like the old town."

"No, it really feels like the last century!" Damirgang emphasized. "Didn't Teacher Bill Rotter say before that when walking on the street, you not only have to endure the mud splashing on the ground, but you also have to be careful of the garbage flying above your head. Even fecal water.”

Berget shrugged: "I don't care anyway, no matter how dirty it is, it can't compare to the environment on the front line of Olmitz Fortress." "How can you compare a battlefield with a city?"

Sedillo never left Paris, even when the Franco-Austrian War was in full swing, he stayed in Paris to do his surgery. It was not that he was unwilling to be loyal to France, but that he could not accept the environment on the front line.

This kind of narcissistic mysophobia also applies to surgery. At least until Kawei appeared, he would never equate his pure and noble hands with the ulcers on the incisions of ordinary people with flat heads. He will not equate Paris with other cities. In his mind, there are only two kinds of cities, Paris and other cities.

Now inevitably, he has to face the environment outside Paris.

The feeling of regret was immediately overshadowed by the strong desire to learn and curiosity, and it disappeared in an instant: "I also got off the train in Zurich."

"Professor, don't you go to Vienna first?" Hermann said. "Without Dr. Kawei, the Municipal General Hospital is very short of manpower."

Sedillo still behaves like a great director. In his eyes, the Municipal General Hospital without Kavi is definitely not as good as the Côte d'Azur Hospital without his own: "I left Paris just to do surgery with Kavi. It’s not to support the Municipal General Hospital.”

However, when he finally arrived in Zurich, the young grass in his heart that seemed to have been blown to death by the north wind came back to life.

Because Sedieu was surprised to find that this place was completely different from Paris, and there was not a single French person in sight. The people passing by were either Swiss people who spoke German, or Prussians and Austrians who didn't speak at all. Maybe there were others, but definitely no French.

Because he couldn't hear a single French word at all, even the wild dogs wandering around the platform barked in German, and they rarely barked.

There was not even a decent oil painting on the wall of the bare and dilapidated platform, nor was there a guard of honor or a band to welcome the arrival of the Austrian special train. Everything I saw could only be described as crude. The reality of the cold platform constantly impacted the bustling shadows in his mind, which made him feel more uncomfortable than the ice and snow behind him.

Of course, there is always a welcoming team.

The leader was the mayor of Zurich, and then several local dignitaries. They saw Kawei getting out of the car and greeted him: "Dr. Kawei, I've been waiting for you."

"You are."

Suddenly a young man ran up and explained with a smile: "This is the mayor Mr. Rost Alfred, and that is my father, Michael Paul, who is now in charge of the business of the Bank of Zurich, and this."

Speaking of this person, the other party did not give Gustav any face. He stepped forward and introduced himself with a smile: "I am Victor de Bortale, the younger brother of Count Bortale. He mentioned it in the letter before. Mentioned you."

"Oh, it turns out he is Count Bortale's younger brother. Nice to meet him."

When Kawei heard this name, a figure immediately appeared in his mind, but that person was not an earl, but a countess. He didn't know each other very well, but he was very enthusiastic. Kawei didn't know what to say: "I was fortunate enough to meet him in the surgical theater. He is a very good politician."

"Brother has booked a hotel suite for you, Professor Sedieu and your entourage by Lake Zurich." Victor asked the servant beside him to take Kawei's luggage and took him to the station gate alone, "There The beautiful view of the entire Lake Zurich is one of the best in Switzerland. ”

"Thank you very much."

"Oh, by the way, there is a unique Swiss hot spring next to the hotel. You must try it."

"sure."

Kawei has no desire, and his treatment of others seems very casual, let alone caring, but this does not mean that he cannot see the problem. The guy named Victor in front of him has Count Bortale as his backer, and his momentum is even stronger than that of the mayor, which shows his strength in the local area.

Seeing that the others were silent, Kawei still had to help smooth things over: "Gustave, are all my things done?"

As soon as he heard his name being called, Gustave immediately put on a smile and came closer: "It's all done! It's the storage room that my grandfather personally selected. Everything was checked before being put in the storage, just like when he got in the car. . In fact, we have already done it for you.”

"That's good. I'll take a look when I have time, and then discuss the custody commission."

Kawei interrupted him in time, exchanged glances with the father and son, avoided Victor's gaze, and then looked at the mayor: "Mr. Mayor?"

Switzerland is different from other European countries. Mayor Rost showed no momentum in front of the two bank capitalists, and even felt cowardly: "Well, I'm here."

"I expect to live here for a while." Kawei stopped and forced Victor to stop too. "I have been hearing Vice President Bill Rotter mention the university medical school here. If possible, I and I Professor Sedieu and Count Bergert, the son of Count Christian von Celestine, hope to visit the University of Zurich.”

"No problem." Mayor Rost didn't catch the person's name and title clearly. He still looked very excited and his words were a bit messed up. "I heard Gustav talk about you before, and uh, these famous doctors. Oh, I have already made an agreement with the school that you can go there anytime and anywhere.”

"Thank you very much."

The train will stay for half an hour at most, mainly to get Kawi and others off the train, and then make necessary supplies. In theory, this kind of stop does not require special audience, and the Queen may not want to see them.

But today was a little different. As soon as Kavi left, Mick suddenly ran down.

He was in a hurry and had just put on his black coat. As soon as he got off the bus, he ordered several of his subordinates to inspect the platform urgently, and he walked directly to Kawei: "Mr. Earl."

A few people only felt that the status of a famous surgeon in Kawei must be much lower than that of internal medicine, where everyone is a celebrity. There may be a title, but at most it is just a baron, or a more marginal baronet.

They never thought that a young man of only 20 years old would be a count of the Austrian Empire.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Kawei thought Mick was coming to pester him again, so he quickly stopped and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Mick?"

Mick didn't talk nonsense to him. He just stood more than ten meters away and waved to him solemnly: "Mr. Earl, come here, I have something urgent."

Kawei knew that this guy always prioritized efficiency and never joked. Asking him to go over could not be to show off to him, but that he really had something to do. He didn't hesitate too much, left a few people and walked over quickly, and then heard bad news from his mouth:

"The Queen is ill."
