Chapter 20 Experimental Results

Looking at the emotional Constantine in front of him, Brut was a little surprised. In the previous contacts with Constantine, Constantine was gentle and polite, and he had never seen him lose his temper like this.

"My Lord, I will do my best", Brut was very grateful to his benefactor Constantine in his heart.

"Brut, your future and fate depend on this mission"

Promoting Brut, who has no senior military experience, to the position of the head of the regiment, Constantine has been under a lot of pressure. There were originally many people with deep connections and good military talents who were interested in the position of the Royal Guards.

It's just that this position is special. The main responsibility of the Royal Guards is to protect the safety of the royal family. Military talent is not the most important selection condition, because the possibility of the Royal Guards going to the battlefield is very small.

If Greece is really in danger to the point where the Royal Guards need to go to the front battlefield, it doesn't matter whether there is a Guards or not.

For the position of the Royal Guards, loyalty to the royal family is the most important selection condition.

Therefore, Constantine rejected other candidates and chose Brute, who had simpler social relations.

From Constantine's words, Brute clearly felt the importance of this mission.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke, do you have any other instructions?" Brute asked.

Constantine, who felt that he was a little out of control, took two deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and continued to say to Brute:

"You also know that I have been planning colonies in Africa. Because the country is weak, we cannot make a move and arouse the vigilance of the powers, so we cannot send troops to Africa on a large scale," Constantine said.

"The 500-man Royal Guards are distributed in the vast Congo River Basin. I am afraid that they are still not strong enough to complete the plan. Therefore, Brute, if the time is right, you need to train some native troops in Africa to strengthen our strength in the Congo River," Constantine whispered to Brute.

The reason for doing so is that no matter how many natives form the army, the countries will not care too much. After all, in the minds of Europeans at this time, the natives are all barbarians and ignorant.

This is not racial discrimination, it is simply ignoring.

Constantine's request was really beyond Brute's expectations.

Just letting the natives appear in the army, both officers and soldiers will have complaints.

Officers are okay. Apart from the factor of racial sentiment, the joining of natives will strengthen the military power at hand, but the soldiers have great objections.

After the natives join the army, they will obey the orders of the officers. Doesn't it mean that they are the same as the African native soldiers?

As long as they are European soldiers, I am afraid they will be in an uproar.

"Your Excellency the Duke, is this too radical?" Constantine's instructions made Brute feel a little embarrassed.

"Didn't I say that the time is right, not for you to do it recklessly," Constantine said.

"Besides that, you should also be careful of the forces of other countries, such as France and Portugal. If it is not necessary, try not to provoke them."

The French are powerful and difficult to offend. The Portuguese have been operating in the Angola colony for hundreds of years and are deeply rooted. They are not something that the Greeks who have just arrived can provoke.

"Your will will be implemented, Your Excellency the Duke." Seeing that Constantine had no other requests, Brute stood up straight, saluted respectfully to Constantine, and turned to leave the reception room.

After dinner that day, Nina came to Constantine's room with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong, Nina?" Constantine asked with concern.

"Constantine, I'm going to college to study," Nina said sullenly.

After hearing Nina's words, Constantine was stunned. Both of them were about to start their journey to study, which also meant that they were about to separate.

"Which school are you going to? What major are you studying?" Constantine asked curiously.

"University of Athens, as for what to study, I haven't decided yet. Constantine, what major do you think I should choose and which major is more useful? Can you give me some advice?"

Although Nina is smart, she is still inexperienced. When faced with a significant life decision, she still wants to seek help from her friends.

The University of Athens has a history of several decades and is located in the Acropolis of Athens.

The Acropolis is 156 meters above sea level and can be seen from anywhere in Athens.

The top of the Acropolis is home to the most outstanding works of ancient Greek civilization, and the Acropolis is also famous for these museums.

The most well-known of them are the Parthenon (also known as the Temple of Athena), the entrance to the Acropolis, and so on.

Although the University of Athens is not bad, there is a problem, that is, most of its majors are liberal arts, such as politics, law, philosophy, theology, business, etc.

There are few science and engineering majors, and not many people are interested in them.

In this era, those who can afford to go to university are all wealthy families who are not short of money. Most of the students from such families have studied liberal arts.

Of course, this may be related to the current situation of Greece.

Greece's commerce is developed, but its industry is still in a primitive state for various reasons.

After students study science and engineering, they have no place to use their skills.

In fact, at the end of the 19th century, the number of schools with profound science and engineering expertise in Europe could be counted on one hand, and each of them was well-known.

However, thinking of the plan in Africa, he suddenly realized that he would definitely need business talents in the future.

"Nina, if you don't have any special hobbies, then go to the Law School of the University of Athens to study," Constantine said.

The courses of the Law School mainly include law, politics, economics and other subjects. Nina will definitely find a place to use her skills in the future if she goes to study these courses.

Two days later, Constantine, who was waiting for news of the experiment in the palace, met Director Philip of the Athens City Hospital who hurried to the Tatoi Palace.

"Your Excellency the Duke, what exactly is the medicine you gave? You are not pretending to be cinchona bark, are you?"

Philip, who trotted all the way from the gate to the reception room, was sweating on his forehead and panting.

Since Constantine sent the medicine three days ago, Philip first filtered the mixture, then heated and evaporated the alcohol solution, and obtained some white and green mixed crystals.

Philip's experimental team, who were skeptical, first used four white mice to verify the toxicity of the drug for the sake of safety.

After consuming the drug mixed in the food, the four mice showed no obvious abnormalities.

Philip's team dared to conduct a human control test.

Among the eight patients with mild malaria who were compared with each other, the experimental team gave quinine to two people, experimental drugs to two people, and the other four people only took some placebos made of flour (with no effect, just for comparison).

"What are the experimental results?" This is what Constantine cares about.

"There is no doubt that this drug is indeed effective for malaria," Philip said excitedly.
