And if he wants to remove the word "temporary", Durcombe must have a lot of work to do.

Including winning the votes of the people of Manila.

Although Durcombe is a nerd, he is not a fool.

He certainly knows what he needs to do to win the support of voters.

Food and medical care are two of the most urgently needed things in Manila right now.

Food is leaving no stone unturned.

Since the Philippines is still fighting fiercely, there is not much food arriving in Manila that can be supplied to the people.

Durkom cannot be turned into food either.

But what about medical care?

There are temporary hospitals left behind by charitable organizations. Although the conditions are simple, they can be used.

So early in the morning, Durkom took his assistant Mikael and a large group of assistants to the temporary hospital.

The conditions were extremely poor.

Only two rooms are relatively intact, and these are used as intensive care units.

The remaining rooms were covered with canvas to protect them from wind and rain.

But there was still air leakage from all sides.

There are sick people everywhere who are eager to be healed.

At the end of March and beginning of April, signs of epidemics of sexually transmitted diseases began to appear.

Malaria is one of them.

This is also an infectious disease that tortured the Japanese soldiers.

In addition, coupled with the harsh environment, drinking water full of bacteria and dirty food, gastrointestinal diseases are gradually spreading.

As the city was severely damaged, public health facilities were gone.

Open defecation makes an already harsh environment even worse.

There are all kinds of germs flying in the air.

Then there is dissemination.

Then more and more people are struck down by the disease.

There is a lack of medicines and doctors are helpless.

While the previous batch of patients were still lying down, the next batch of patients arrived again.

So, this creates a vicious cycle.

In this sense, although Manila was recovered, it changed from a city of death to a city of filth!

The only solution is to get medical assistance as soon as possible and rebuild Manila's medical system as soon as possible.

But all this is not something that can be done.

Temporary hospitals are the only hope for these Filipinos.

Of course, for politicians, temporary hospitals are full of uncertain dangers, but they are also a natural show ground.

For this catwalk, Durcombe has made sufficient preparations.

He didn't want to let himself fall down like those patients because of this show.

When he arrived at the temporary hospital, the doctors, nurses and patients all showed a look of anticipation on their faces when they learned that Mr. Mayor was coming in person.

Mayor Durcombe expressed condolences to several patients and promised them that he would help them solve all their problems as soon as possible.

Then, in order to express that he was always with the patients, he even shook hands with these patients and kissed their cheeks, regardless of the risk of infection.

However, these patients were selected in advance by his assistant Mikael.

Make sure these patients are not at risk of infection.

Durkom was very satisfied with Mikael's arrangement.

He also solemnly assured everyone that as the mayor of Manila, he would solve the medical problems as soon as possible regardless of the cost.

His words quickly elicited bursts of applause.

At this moment, two jeeps parked outside the hospital.

Most of the so-called hospital was bombed to the ground, leaving it open and unobstructed.

Several American soldiers got out of the jeep.

"Lieutenant Henry" Li Zhifeng waved his hand, and Second Lieutenant Terr asked the American soldiers to move a few boxes of things.

The director of the temporary hospital hurriedly greeted him: "Hello, sir, what are these?"

"Food, medicine, mainly medicine for gastrointestinal diseases."

As soon as Li Zhifeng said it, the dean was overjoyed.

Oh my gosh, this is what the hospital needs most right now.

Before the dean could speak, Durkom immediately seized this opportunity and said impassionedly: "I said, I will not sit idly by and do nothing, I will do my best..."

"Hey, hey, stop your speech."

Li Zhifeng interrupted him unceremoniously and waved for an interpreter to come up.

The translator cleared his throat and said loudly: "These foods and medicines have nothing to do with the Manila City Government or Mayor Durkom. Everyone knows that the US military is still fighting on the front lines and has suffered a large number of casualties. Our medicines must

It must be supplied to the front line in advance, so any request for medicines made by Mayor Durcombe will not be provided until after the war is over.

Of course, Mr. Mayor knows this very clearly, so he assured Mr. President that Manila people will solve the current predicament on their own strength. Regarding Mr. Mayor’s determination, neither Mr. President nor General MacArthur

Very pleased.”

This was a slap in the face to Durcombe.

Mr. Mayor's entire face changed color.

The translator continued: "However, as the supreme military and security commander of Manila, Colonel Charles knows that too many Manilans are fighting death, so he will never watch you fight alone.

.

Colonel Charles did his best to get a batch of food and medicine, which he will give priority to the hospital. These are strategic materials. Colonel Charles will be implicated for this and may even be sent to a military court. But in order to save you

, Colonel Charles is willing to do this!”

After these impassioned words, many people's eyes turned red, including the dean.

Colonel Charles.

Although many people have not heard of this name before, from now on, Colonel Charles will be remembered by more and more people.

The translation is not over yet: "Colonel Charles will always be with the people of Manila. Although he cannot interfere in local affairs, within his scope, he will do his best to help every Manila he can."

people.

The suffering will eventually pass, please hold on and get through this last difficult period. Remember, Colonel Charles, and the United States will always be with you!"

Li Zhifeng really couldn't imagine how the young master came up with such a shameless statement.

For the US military, these supplies are simply insignificant, but for these Manila people, they are the most precious things. The irony is that as the mayor of Manila, Durkom can only watch everything happen.
