Discovery of military history: the whole story of Chinese expeditionary force going to Burma to fight [Figure]


  In December 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War broke out. Since then, the Japanese divided forces to attack all parts of Southeast Asia, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and Hong Kong Passage, two major transportation lines connecting China and the outside world, were cut off one after another. Western aid materials to China could only be delivered to Yangon, Myanmar, and then to Kunming via the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway. "If the Japanese invaders invade Myanmar, the soldiers and civilians behind us will be trapped in the isolated city and sit still."


  In December 1941, the vanguard troops of the 15th Army of the Japanese invaders invaded southern Myanmar, pushing Yangon. China, Britain and the United States held a joint military meeting in Chongqing that month, and decided that China would "send troops to Myanmar in a few days to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese aggressors".


  One hundred thousand troops marched south.


  For Chinese, which is in the arduous period of Anti-Japanese War, ensuring the security of Myanmar is directly related to the safety of the rear area of the Anti-Japanese War. But for Britain, Myanmar is at best a peripheral barrier of India. Although the British who colonized Myanmar have taken care of their own affairs, they have not forgotten to plan their own "career"-what if China’s army beat the Japanese away in Myanmar and persisted? In this way, the Chinese Expeditionary Force’s operation in Myanmar was delayed by the British, and it lost its excellent fighter plane to "strike it halfway" while the Japanese army was unstable in Myanmar. American President Roosevelt was determined to convince the British, because he knew that only China persisted in the war of resistance in Asia could Britain and the United States concentrate on dealing with Nazi Germany in Europe. At the end of 1941, the Allied Forces decided to merge the war zones of Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam and China into the China-Myanmar-India war zone. In order to coordinate the relationship between the British and Chinese armies, Roosevelt also sent General Stilwell as the chief of staff of the theater.


  While Roosevelt was busy threading a needle between China and Britain, the Japanese were not idle. On December 23, 1941, the Japanese army began a full-scale invasion of Myanmar. In January of the following year, the British garrison collapsed and Yangon fell on March 8. However, the Japanese did not expect that at this time, the 100,000 troops of the 5 th, 6 th and 66 th armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were marching into Myanmar. China National Government took out 9 of all 15 mechanized divisions to fight in Myanmar, which shows that it attaches great importance to this campaign.


  In March, 1942, Dai Anlan led the 200th Division to leap thousands of miles and arrived in Tonggu, an important town in southern Myanmar.


  Tonggu is located 260 kilometers north of Yangon, which is at the crossroads of land and water. When the 200th Division arrived here, the first thing they saw was not the Japanese army, but a large number of British troops defeated from Yangon. These British troops were really frightened by the Japanese, and many of them, together with the ancient capital, fled to Mandalay in the north, leaving a large number of abandoned weapons on both sides of the road. It was here that the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought the first fierce battle with the Japanese aggressors since they entered Myanmar. From March 19th, the 200th Division, which was alone, and the 55th Division of the Japanese Army in the north were killed in utter darkness. On the 24th, more than 100 Japanese death squads touched the most cup position, and the platoon leader Ma Licheng was killed by six bullets. On the 26th, the Wudun position was lost twice, and the 3rd Battalion of the 597th Regiment repeatedly fought with the Japanese army, all of them died heroically … Although the Japanese army dispatched more than 100 sorties every day to bombard the ancient city, the Tonggu defense line was still not broken. However, 11 days later, the Japanese army tore open the defense line of the 200 th Division. The reason is not that Hironaka Takeuchi, the head of the 55th Division, has made any amazing move, but that their reinforcements, the 56th Division, suddenly appeared. On the evening of the 30th, under the cover of the new 22nd Division, the 200th Division fought its way out and successfully broke through. In the end, the Great War with Ancient China ended with the active withdrawal of China troops.


  In April, 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force set out for a decisive battle with the Japanese main force in the Pingmanna area of central Myanmar. The war is just around the corner, but the British on the west side of the front line have lost their chains again. On 16th, the 33rd Division of the Japanese army quickly crossed the three lines of defense of the British army and surrounded nearly 10,000 British troops in yenangyaung. On the evening of 17th, at the moment when the British commander began to pray to God, a miracle really appeared-an China army suddenly appeared, and a United wing of the Japanese aggressors was destroyed, which opened a retreat channel for the trapped British army. This unit is the new 38 th Division of the 66 th Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. To thank China’s army for its rescue, the Queen of England awarded the "Commander of the Empire" to General Sun Liren, the commander of the new 38th Division. Although the victory of the battle of Ren ‘an Qiang can’t be called "brilliant", it was the first victory of the Chinese expeditionary force after it entered Myanmar, which dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors.


  Poor cooperation leads to a thousand miles of failure.


  Due to the British army’s flight on the West Road and the defeat of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the East Road, the plan of Pingmanna Battle fell through. At that time, however, the strength of the allied forces in Myanmar was still stronger than that of the Japanese army. Based on Mandalay, an important town in central Myanmar, they planned to concentrate the 5th, 6th and 66th armies of China and five British divisions, with a total of 250,000 troops to fight the Japanese aggressors. However, the British once again abandoned his China allies. On April 20th, 1942, the British and Burmese troops on the front line in Mandalay once again began to retreat without informing the friendly forces in China. The treacherous British completely shook the last confidence of China’s army, and the expeditionary force was forced to change the battle plan of Mandalay to "defense in depth" to keep the enemy out of the country and focus on defense in Lashio.


  腊戍是滇缅公路的门户和远征军回国的通道。1942年4月28日,由日本本州造船工厂工人组成的第56师团奔袭1500公里绕到了盟军防御空虚的后方,对腊戍发起了猛攻,当天腊戍失守。此时中国远征军被三面包围,留给他们的出路只有撤退。然而,日军第56师团并没有停止进攻。4月30日,该师团分兵两路,一路扑向缅甸密支那,以切断中国远征军的退路,另一路沿滇缅公路向中国境内推进。一周后,密支那被攻占,中国远征军回国的最后一条通道被掐断了。


  此刻,摆在远征军面前的只有两个选择——要么往北杀回祖国,要么往西退入印度。以师长孙立人为首的新38师果断撤往印度,实力得到较好保存。而远征军指挥官杜聿明则坚持把部队带回祖国,其心情亦可以理解——回想当初远征军是以消灭日军为目的开赴缅甸的,而今不仅没能歼灭日寇,还被追得狼狈不堪,要是连所剩部队都没带回国内,他还有什么脸面去见江东父老?于是,杜聿明带领主力大部队向北进发。1942年5月10日,当他们来到缅北境内的野人山附近时,侦察部队传来消息:日军正张网以待。杜聿明决定扔下重武器,率部队一头扎进野人山,而这个决定竟成为生还远征军军人心中永恒的噩梦!


  After the main force of the expeditionary force fled into Savage Mountain, the 200th division, which served as a defender, was divided by the enemy. Dai Anlan was fearless in the face of crisis and decisively commanded the troops to break through. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured in the fierce battle and died heroically on May 26, 1942, at the age of 38. Like the 200th Division, other troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who withdrew from the north also paid a heavy price in the savage mountain. The unpredictable climate, poisonous snakes and beasts, plagues and hungry teams went hand in hand, and this black jungle swallowed tens of thousands of expeditionary officers and men. According to the figures released by the allied forces after the war, the number of Chinese expeditionary forces entering Myanmar for the first time was 100,000, with a total of more than 61,000 casualties, of which nearly 50,000 people died or disappeared during the retreat.


  远征军在野人山苦苦挣扎的同时,日军攻入滇西。从1942年5月2日开始,日寇相继攻陷畹町、遮放、腾冲等地,所幸惠通桥守军及时炸毁了这座连接天险怒江两岸的唯一通道,日军前进的铁蹄才被迫停止。不久前热播的电视剧《我的团长我的团》中龙文章带领大伙在南天门抵挡日军,讲述的应该就是这段历史。之后,中国守军和日本侵略者在怒江两岸对峙了1年多。剧中炮灰团在祭旗坡上的那段“安逸”日子,也正源自于此。


  重整旗鼓痛击日寇


  1942年5月2日,史迪威在给美国总部的一份急电中,首次提到在印度建立基地训练中国军队和反攻缅甸的计划。随后,中国国民政府将退到印度的新22师、新38师残部整编为X部队,将撤退到云南的远征军与新增派的部队整编为Y部队。


  1943年,为提高部队战斗力,中国的昆明、大理和印度的兰姆伽等地分别设立了干部训练团和训练学校,对官兵进行兵器、射击、战术等训练,并配备盟军提供的新式装备。


  1943年10月20日,在中国远征军曾经的伤心地——野人山,孙立人率领的新38师对素有“丛林作战之王”之称的日军第18师团发起攻击。上午11时,新38师搜索连在行进途中与日军的一个大队遭遇,双方几乎同时向对方开火。从前,日军一个营的战斗力相当于或超过中国军队一个师。所以,此次战斗一开始,日军根本没把中国士兵放在眼里,立即发起冲锋。他们做梦也没想到,此时的中国军队已今非昔比:搜索连配有迫击炮12门,反坦克炮3门,轻重机枪25挺,300余名士兵人手一支美制“汤姆逊”冲锋枪。战斗一打响,手持“三八大盖”的日本人便被密集的子弹打得血肉横飞。


  接下来,X部队势如破竹,连克欣贝延、达邦加、孟拱、密支那等战略要地。“孙立人”这个名字更是让日寇闻风丧胆。值得一提的是,曾有名军官请示孙立人如何处理一个被擒的日本兵,孙立人大喝:“你去审审,只要到过中国的一概枪毙,以后都照此办理。”


  与X部队相呼应,1944年5月中旬,中国远征军Y部队近20万人也渡过怒江向日军据点发起雷霆般的攻势。《我的团长我的团》结尾描写的攻击南天门战斗,应该是取自Y部队发起的松山大反攻。和剧情相比,真实的战斗更加惨烈——


  One morning in July, an expeditionary force commander rushed to the front to fight the enemy. Lao Cui, the cookhouse squad, took out the most exquisite craftsmanship and prepared to greet the brothers with a delicious meal. After the meal was ready, Lao Cui waited from noon to evening, and finally there was good news from the front. He shouted excitedly, "What are you waiting for? Go! " After that, he led the cooking soldiers to pick up the food and send it to the front line. The Songshan Mountain in the sunset is a river of blood. The cookhouse squad turned several hills and didn’t meet a brother. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Brothers are here!" Old Cui hurried over, but tears streamed down. I saw that the brothers were bloody one by one, and lying with them were double the dead bodies of the Japanese army. Counting carefully, all 141 officers and men of the company died … The kitchen soldiers cried into tears one by one. Lao Cui wiped a tear and cried, "We can’t let the brothers be starved to death. Even if we feed them, we have to feed them and send them on their way!"


  In the process of the Expeditionary Force’s counterattack against western Yunnan and northern Myanmar, there are many tearful stories like this. It is this indomitable spirit that enabled the Chinese Expeditionary Force to conquer several cities and kill tens of thousands of enemies, and won the counter-offensive operations in western Yunnan and northern Myanmar. It is also this kind of loyalty that casts the unyielding soul of the Chinese nation! History will not forget, and we should not forget this group of magnificent China soldiers on the battlefield in Yunnan and Burma more than 60 years ago!

Issuing 20 kinds of MLM coins in one year to attract 4 million members: revealing the "history of collecting money" of MLM group Vpay

  Invited author of Wen Shu’s mutual chain pulse, fire failure

  Unauthorized reproduction is not allowed!

  Cross-chain pulse: compared with a so-called direct selling platform, it took more than 20 years to develop millions of members in China; Under the guise of blockchain, VPAY has developed 4 million members after issuing MLM coins for more than a year, and has escaped many regulatory attacks. How does VPAY do it? Cross-chain Pulse Invitation has been tracking VPAY’s "failure" and deciphering this pyramid scheme’s money-collecting practices from its "history of money-collecting".

  Among the pyramid schemes, if VPAY (now renamed "Vtoken") says second, I’m afraid no one dares to say first.

  Since its establishment on November 23, 2017, Vpay has rapidly "expanded" under the banner of "blockchain". According to the public data of VPAY to its members, more than 20 kinds of MLM coins have been intensively issued in more than one year, which has rapidly developed 4 million members. Incomplete statistics have raised more than 4.1 billion yuan. The number of 4 million members is second to none in the pyramid schemes that have been investigated or in batches.

  Looking beyond the blockchain industry, MLM organizations that can grow to millions of people in a short time may be beyond the reach of even the sensational "Health Empire Quanjian". What is even more surprising is that after other MLM projects have "closed the net", this MLM platform, which has been operating for a year, has not collapsed, and there is a faint momentum of whitewashing itself.

  (Vtoken’s Nasdaq big screen advertisement)

  Behind-the-scenes bosses never reveal their "real bodies", and the main operators are "three caves of cunning rabbits". How did the Vpay platform develop step by step? What is the operation mode hidden behind Vpay?

  "MLM+crowdfunding", attracting 4.1 billion yuan a year.

  In November 2017, Vpay issued the first virtual currency asset-Vpay coins ("VPC") at the moment when the concept of blockchain was in vogue, with the initial 10 million pieces as seed assets, and each 1.2 yuan, VPAY called it "platform mother coin".

  Unlike other digital currency, new users can’t buy Vpay coins directly, and they must buy the balance from the recommender before they can convert it into Vpay coins. However, Vpay’s money-making mechanism is very attractive. Its static income allows users to enjoy "five times the leverage of points and six times the reinvestment" immediately after purchasing the balance, and then release two thousandths of points every day, while its dynamic income allows members to continuously develop offline, accelerate the release of points and get balance rewards.

  With this reward mechanism and pyramid scheme, Vpay members have developed by leaps and bounds. According to the information released by Vpay operating members in April 2018, by the end of March 2018, the number of its members had reached 173,000.

  (Source: Vpay published data)

  With the rapid growth of Vpay members, the "bubble" in Vpay’s treasury board is also getting bigger and bigger. In order to eliminate the internal bubble, Vpay raised 5 million pieces and 10 million pieces of Vpay coins at the price of 6 yuan/piece and 31.4 yuan/piece on March 13 and June 13, 2018 respectively.

  By June 2018, Vpay claimed that its membership had reached 892,000. Although there was a lot of water in it, this month was a watershed in the development of Vpay.

  (Geographical distribution of Vpay members Source: Baidu)

  On June 19th, 2018, Vpay launched a crowdfunding campaign for the second air coin Uselink (ringcoin) besides Vpay. The number of crowdfunding was 42 million pieces, and the crowdfunding price was 10 yuan/piece. However, this crowdfunding campaign was not perfect and only 72.28% of the original plan was completed.

  (Source: Vpay published data)

  Then, on August 19 and August 28, 2018, Vpay successively completed the crowdfunding of smart home chain (SMTH coin) and game chain (GCC coin).

  Since then, Vpay has started the crazy mode of pyramid selling coin crowdfunding. According to the author’s statistics, in the second half of 2018, the number of air coins raised by Vpay reached as many as 12 times, and the types of pyramid schemes reached 11 kinds, basically there were two pyramid schemes crowdfunding every month on average.

  Among them, the large amount of crowdfunding includes ABS chain, VTS coin love chain (CLC coin) and SFIS (super interstellar file system) in the name of "Ma Yun". According to the actual progress and crowdfunding price, the final crowdfunding amount is 200 million yuan, 250 million yuan, 150 million yuan and 198 million yuan respectively.

  Of course, there are also projects with less successful crowdfunding, such as IPC coin (IPchain) and the fourth Vpay coin crowdfunding, which only completed 59.62% and 49.25% of the planned progress.

  However, this does not affect the crazy development of Vpay and its off-line and wanton accumulation of wealth.

  In January 2019, the Vpay operator announced that its membership reached 4 million, which means that its membership has increased 22 times in 11 months.

  In addition to the surge in the number of members, Vpay has made a lot of money through crowdfunding and pyramid schemes. According to the author’s rough statistics, from November 23, 2017 to the end of January 2019, Vpay conducted a total of 21 pyramid schemes, with a total amount of 4.103 billion yuan.

  However, behind the crazy crowdfunding, hidden dangers are growing. After Vpay brought the crowdfunding model and pyramid scheme to the extreme, the "bubble" of the capital plate was difficult to digest, and the balance in the hands of a large number of Vpay members was not taken over. Finally, in November 2018, a large number of large households with more than 10 million yuan in currency were smashed.

  Affected by this, in December 2018, a large number of Vpay members began to panic. Although Vpay was replaced with a new vest "Vtoken" in January this year, it is obvious that a large number of Vpay members do not buy it.

  In the five air coin crowdfunding in January 2019, three air coin projects on the Vpay platform failed to meet expectations, among which RDC coins (random chain) and FAC(Fashion-chain) only completed 32.23% and 31.92% of the original planned progress, which basically failed.

  In the crowdfunding in February, the STO crowdfunding project originally planned to start on February 14th has not been followed, and there is no news.

  Even some Vpay members have revealed in the Weibo that "Vpay’s fund disk is almost untenable. At the end of 2018, Vpay changed the reinvestment system and restrictions, which may be because Vpay operators are trying to delay the running time."

  Reveal the operation mode of Vpay

  From the quiet birth of Vpay coins more than a year ago, it has developed into a 4 million-member organization. Although Vpay organizations have been repeatedly exposed by the media and attacked by the police, they can still expand wildly, and it is inseparable from its carefully planned operation mode.

  (Vpay slogan)

  From the very beginning, the Vpay project was publicized, saying that it planned to build the so-called "nine strategic layouts of V ecology", including V payment (Vpay), V mall, V community, V public welfare, V credit, V loan, V chat, V cash and V capital, and gave this goal a resounding slogan: "Vpay, create human financial freedom!" .

  And Vpay claims that the value of all digital assets is also based on the realization of this "nine strategic layouts of V Ecology". However, it is not enough to have a grand vision. Like all pyramid schemes and air coins, Vpay also found a so-called "former Google executive" Mark Mino as its platform.

  (Vpay "founder": Mark Mino)

  But what really confuses the audience with the Vpay model is that it has built a number of self-media websites that can sound at any time.

  According to the author’s statistics, there are at least 10 self-media websites operated by the team behind Vpay. Although these websites have rough pages and have not been filed in China, they update Vpay-related information every day, and the update frequency is even as high as that of most blockchain media.

  For example, the V Assistant website updates the audio content of Vpay leaders and team "teachers" every day, which is almost one of the main positions for "online brainwashing" of new Vpay members.

  (v assistant)

  In addition, the "footprint" of the Vpay team has frequently appeared on various classified content platforms, such as Himalayan, Sina Weibo, Baidu Post Bar, Simple Book and Zhihu, among which many Vpay fans have spread and developed offline for it.

  (Vtoken Himalayan course)

  On the online platform, another core position of Vpay is WeChat community. Through the first-level referees, Vpay can establish WeChat communities all over the country in a relatively short time, so as to quickly control a large number of members.

  For example, on January 20, 2019, the annual meeting planned by Vpay in Chengdu, there were only 20 local Vpay WeChat communities in Chengdu, with thousands of people.

  These Vpay WeChat communities are well-organized and well-organized, and it is basically difficult to join the group without referees. In the WeChat community, not only Vpay team leaders regularly share courses, members exchange messages, but also referees at all levels recycle the "balance" and even airdrop and pull the offer.

  In addition to the online platform, frequently holding offline meetings is also a common practice of the Vpay team to brainwash new and old members.

  (Vpay and SFIS participate in industry summit)

  In 2018, Vpay not only organized offline meetings, raised funds or issued new coins in Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hong Kong and other cities, but also participated in the blockchain industry summit repeatedly, becoming one of the regular army circles in the business world and clearing its name for itself.

  (Vpay participates in blockchain industry conference)

  It is worth noting that if the above-mentioned operation modes of the Vpay team are aimed at pyramid schemes and offline development, then in the second half of 2018, the emergence of projects such as Vpay Mall, Vpay Hotel, Vpay Supermarket and Vpay Restaurant is worthy of attention, and Vpay may be trying to whitewash itself.

  (Vpay Hotel and Vpay Commercial Street)

  Especially in January this year, after the upgrade of Vpay, the interface and operation mode of the new version of Vtoken APP are almost indistinguishable from the mainstream blockchain wallet.

  (Vtoken wallet operation interface)

  Imagine that when a MLM platform with billions of dollars and 4 million members completely puts on the cloak of "blockchain" and begins to "enter" the physical industry. Can you really tell the truth from the falsehood?

How to prevent influenza? How to choose trivalent and tetravalent vaccines? Teach you to cope with the flu season easily.

1. What is the flu?
Influenza, referred to as influenza for short, is an acute upper respiratory infection caused by influenza virus, and it is also an infectious disease with strong infectivity and rapid spread. In China, an average of 88,000 people die of influenza every year. Generally, its high incidence period is autumn and winter, and it is mainly spread through droplets in the air, contact between people or contact with contaminated items. The typical clinical symptoms of influenza are: sudden onset of high fever, general pain, obvious fatigue and mild respiratory symptoms, which mainly affect the nose, throat, bronchus and occasionally affect the lungs. Influenza viruses can be divided into three types: A, B and C. Virus A often mutates its antigen, is highly contagious, spreads rapidly and is prone to widespread epidemic. Influenza A virus is further classified into subtypes. Among many subtypes of influenza A virus, influenza A H1N1 and influenza A H3N2 are common types, and compared with influenza A and influenza B cases, influenza C cases occur less. This is why only influenza A and B viruses are included in the seasonal influenza vaccine.
Second, preventive measures
In the high incidence season of influenza in autumn and winter, if preventive measures are not taken, it is easy to catch the flu, aggravate the condition of basic diseases, and even have an impact on everyone’s life and work. Therefore, we must know the knowledge of influenza prevention. So what are the ways to prevent the flu? Let’s take a look at the preventive measures.
1. Strengthen exercise
In autumn, the weather is cool, which is a good time for exercise. Therefore, we should take an active part in sports and go to the suburbs and outdoors to breathe fresh air. Walking, running and doing exercises can be carried out every day, which can make the body’s blood flow and muscles stretch, and can also achieve the purpose of strengthening physical fitness. However, when exercising, we must avoid the wind and sand and arrange the exercise reasonably.
2. Pay attention to details
In autumn, the climate is changeable, cold and hot. If clothes are suddenly increased or decreased, it will easily lead to the decrease of respiratory immunity and the invasion of pathogens. Therefore, we must appropriately increase or decrease clothes according to the usual weather changes. At the same time, you need to arrange your diet reasonably, eat less spicy food, reduce the irritation to the respiratory tract, drink more water and supplement vitamins.
At the same time, we also need to reduce contact with patients. Once you find yourself unwell or have flu-like symptoms, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If there is an ill room, the living room should be disinfected.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene
First of all, we must pay attention to our personal hygiene and wash our hands before and after meals. Generally speaking, influenza virus is spread by air droplets, but if the hands of influenza patients touch their own nose and mucus and then touch other items, after the items are contaminated, others will be indirectly infected when they touch the contaminated items. Therefore, in our life, we must wash our hands frequently.
4, less gathering
In the flu season, avoid entering public places with a lot of people, such as large shopping malls, supermarkets and vegetable markets, and wear masks if necessary. In addition, attention should be paid to indoor air circulation. Timely open the window for ventilation, as well as diet, we must pay attention to light diet, eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as vegetables and fruits, drink more water and strengthen excretion.
5. Inject flu vaccine
(1) There are currently trivalent and tetravalent influenza vaccines, so what is the difference between trivalent and tetravalent influenza vaccines?
A, the number of influenza virus subtypes prevented is different: trivalent vaccine can prevent three influenza viruses (H1N1, H3N2 and Victoria strain B); Tetravalent vaccine can prevent four influenza viruses (H1N1, H3N2, Victoria and Yamagata).
B, vaccination age is different: trivalent inactivated vaccine is used for people over 6 months old; Trivalent live attenuated vaccine is used for people aged 3-17; Tetravalent inactivated vaccine is used for people over 36 months old.
C, different vaccine formulations: trivalent inactivated vaccine includes 0.25ml and 0.5ml; There is only 0.2ml of trivalent live attenuated vaccine; There is only 0.5ml of tetravalent inactivated vaccine.
D, different inoculation methods: trivalent and tetravalent inactivated vaccines are intramuscular injection; The trivalent live attenuated vaccine was inoculated by intranasal spray.
(2) Which kind of influenza vaccine is better, nasal spray or injection?
In addition to the inoculation method, the main difference between the two types is the type of virus to be prevented and the applicable age. The nasal spray is only trivalent and can prevent three kinds of influenza viruses. There are trivalent and tetravalent injections. In theory, as long as the age meets and there are no relevant contraindications, you can choose voluntarily and there is no priority recommendation.
(3) After selecting the vaccine, what should we pay attention to before and after vaccination?
A. Precautions before vaccination:
Before getting the flu vaccine, you need to know the contraindications of this vaccine first. If you are allergic to this vaccine, you can’t get it. If you have an acute disease or an acute attack of a chronic disease recently, and your control is not good, you should consider getting the flu vaccine after the symptoms are completely relieved.
B, pay attention to good living habits during the flu vaccination, stop spicy, irritating, greasy and other foods in the diet, eat less barbecue and fried foods, drink more water, try not to stay up late, stay under observation for half an hour after vaccination, and leave without special circumstances.
C, matters needing attention after influenza vaccination mainly include the following points:
C1. Observation: Observe whether there is any abnormality in skin, breathing, heart rate, inoculation site and mental state after influenza vaccination. If there is any abnormality, you can consult the inoculation site or see a doctor in the nearest hospital.
C2. No contact with water: within 24 hours after vaccination, do not contact with water at the inoculation site, and do not take a bath. At this time, the needle eye may not be closed, which may stimulate the local area during contact with water, causing local infection, redness and other phenomena;
C3. Monitoring body temperature: Within 2 days after vaccination, there may be a low-grade reaction, which is a normal reaction after vaccination. The body temperature generally does not exceed 38.5℃, so don’t worry. If the body temperature is ≤38.5℃, physical cooling can be carried out, such as wiping the body and head with warm water, which has a cooling effect; Do not use drugs to reduce fever for the time being.
C4. Rest: Pay attention to rest after vaccination, and don’t be too tired;
C5. Light diet: It is recommended to have a light diet after vaccination. Don’t eat too greasy, so as to avoid confusion between symptoms of digestive tract and vaccine reaction due to improper diet after vaccination.
Third, if you are unfortunately infected with the flu virus, you don’t have to be afraid. The treatment is as follows:
1. General treatment
(1) Patients need to drink more water and strengthen nutrition. Patients need to eat a diet containing liquid or whole liquid. At the same time, they should eat more nutritious food and supplement vitamins. After eating, you need to eat warm salt water or warm boiled water to gargle, so as to keep your mouth and nose clean. If the patient’s systemic symptoms are obvious, he needs to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and start anti-infection treatment if necessary. 
(2) Self-conditioning: keep a cheerful mood, work and rest regularly, eat regularly, don’t stay up late, and do something interesting to relieve the psychological discomfort caused by the disease. 
2, drug therapy:
(1) Principle of influenza treatment: If the flu is early, antiviral therapy can be used. We should adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to preventive isolation and drug treatment, and paying equal attention to both etiological treatment and symptomatic treatment.
(2) After suffering from the flu, you should actively treat it according to the doctor’s advice. If you don’t know the condition, don’t use antibacterial drugs on your own. You should actively cooperate and treat it according to the doctor’s advice so as not to delay the illness due to drug abuse, which will lead to drug resistance aggravating infection and worsening the condition into pneumonia.
Conclusion:
Although influenza is a common disease, we must strengthen personal hygiene awareness, keep indoor air circulation, avoid gathering during the high incidence of influenza, and pay attention to hand hygiene.
To prevent the occurrence of influenza, prevention comes first.
Here comes the warm reminder of the little egg.
1. Influenza vaccination has started in all districts of Beijing. All community hospitals can vaccinate the elderly aged 60 and above (born before December 31, 1963) with local resident ID cards or social security cards for free.

11.9 tons! The largest smuggling case of pangolin scales was solved

  CCTV News:Pangolin is a kind of animal covered with scales from beginning to end. Hard scales are pangolin’s protective clothing, but they also bring heavy pain to pangolin.

  Recently, Shenzhen Customs seized pangolin scales weighing 11.9 tons. A pangolin has about 0.4 to 0.6 kilograms of scales. These 11.9 tons of pangolin scales mean that about 20,000 to 30,000 pangolins have been brutally killed. On the morning of the 29th, Shenzhen Customs announced the seizure process of the largest pangolin scale smuggling case to date.

  Shenzhen Customs seized 11.9 tons of pangolin scales.

  On July 1st this year, Shenzhen Customs, which belongs to Dapeng Customs, found that one of the containers was abnormal when checking and releasing dozens of containers. Customs officers immediately conducted a thorough investigation of this container. After taking out more than 100 bags of charcoal, they found some different packaging bags inside.

  Chen Ken, a member of Shenzhen Customs Inspection Department of Dapeng Customs, said: "After opening the packaging bag, it was initially suspected that it was pangolin scales."

  After on-site counting and weighing, 239 packages of pangolin scales were found, with a total weight of 11.9 tons.

  The suspect’s profit is as high as ten times or even dozens of times.

  Who is smuggling these pangolin scales? Finding suspicious people has become the key to solving the case.

  After combing the massive information, the customs anti-smuggling personnel finally found a Chinese name pinyin Xia Mou on the sea waybill. By expanding the scope of information to investigate Xia and Xia’s social circle, a man named Li Moujun entered the sight of anti-smuggling personnel.

  According to Li Moujun’s account, he bought pangolin scales from many places in Africa at a price of about 150 yuan RMB per kilogram in an attempt to transport them to China for profit, and the profit was as high as ten times or even dozens of times.

  11.9 tons of scales equals 20,000-30,000 pangolins killed.

  The reporter saw the pangolin scales seized this time at Shenzhen Dapeng Customs inspection site. Judging from the packaging bag, the appearance was covered with many unknown bugs, and there was still a strong fishy smell at the scene. The pangolin scales seized this time are as big as shells and as small as fingernails.

  According to experts in the protection of endangered animals and plants, a pangolin has about 0.4 to 0.6 kilograms of scales. The smuggling of 11.9 tons of pangolin scales seized by Shenzhen Customs this time means that about 20,000 to 30,000 pangolins have been brutally killed.

  Pangolin scales are no different from human nails.

  Pangolin, as an endangered wild animal, has a strong armor, but it is difficult to be greedy by enemies. Because pangolin scales can be used as Chinese herbal medicines in ancient China, they have become a tool for criminals to make profits. But in fact, modern western medicine says that the composition of pangolin scales is no different from that of human nails.

  In China, pangolin belongs to the national second-class protected animals. Species and their products without import and export certificates are prohibited from trading, carrying or mailing in and out of our country. Illegal import, export or smuggling of such articles by other means will bear corresponding legal responsibilities. If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal responsibility will be investigated according to law. At present, Li Moujun and others involved in the case have been arrested by the procuratorate, and the case is under further investigation.

  Pangolin is the most hunted mammal in the world.

  Pangolin is the only mammal covered with scales; It has no teeth, so it can’t chew; They feed on ants and termites; Pangolin mothers carry their babies with their tails; Pangolin moves at night in most cases, and its eyesight is poor, which will not pose a threat to any other mammal. When it encounters enemy harm, pangolin will shrink into a ball and protect its weak abdomen with scales, thus protecting itself from predators. However, it is this interesting and harmless animal that has become the most hunted mammal in the world.

  Two of the four pangolins in Asia — — Chinese pangolin and Sunda pangolin — — It has been listed in the red list of the World Conservation Union as an extremely endangered species, which is only one step away from extinction in the wild. In addition, the conservation level of eight species of pangolins in the world has been upgraded to "VU", which means that no pangolins are safe.

  Lenovo’s "magic" effect became the cause of the massacre.

  Because pangolin is good at making holes, the ancients thought pangolin had the effect of "getting through". Therefore, pangolin unfortunately became a member of the prescription when it encountered diseases that needed to be "getting through" such as carbuncle, sores, amenorrhea and milk obstruction. In recent years, the domestic market has severely cracked down on the sale of endangered animals, but some people even "eat more as they get more endangered" in order to show off their identity, which has also become the reason for pangolins to die at the table.

  However, does pangolin, which has been slaughtered so wantonly, really have those magical effects? The scales of pangolin are just keratinized skin appendages, and its main component is β -Keratin is not essentially different from hair, nails and other ingredients.

  Refuse to eat pangolin and refuse to use pangolin products

  Under the double pressure of being used as medicine and cooking, it is estimated that the demand for pangolins in China is as high as 200,000 each year, of which 50% are used as medicine and 50% are used as food. Due to a large number of catches, the number of pangolins in China has dropped sharply. According to a survey in 2008, the number of pangolins in China is roughly between 25,100 and 49,450, which is less than one-fifth of the annual consumption, so smuggling is rampant.

  It is necessary to strengthen the crackdown on pangolin smuggling activities, and at the same time establish relevant protected areas to protect pangolin’s living environment. The most important thing is to refuse to eat pangolin and refuse to use pangolin products.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  In 2024, the Mercedes -EQE pure electric SUV was redesigned. Under the condition that the guide price of the new car remained unchanged, the 215kW 350 model was cancelled, and all the models were 500 models with a total power of 300kW, which was high at the beginning. EQE 500 4MATIC Ultimate, the top model, adds AIRMATIC air suspension system, which can automatically lift the body up to 25mm according to the road conditions. Standard 10 rear wheel steering makes the turning radius only 10.5 meters. In addition, the whole system has added velvet foot pads, 5G communication technology (free unlimited traffic for 3 years) and UWB digital keys, and carrying authorized digital devices (smart phones/smart watches) can unlock the starting vehicles.

  The 2024 modified Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV has the same appearance and interior as the 2023 model, so this time I mainly talk about its endurance performance and driving experience. This test drive is EQE pure electric SUV 500 4MATIC deluxe edition, and the route is from Tianjin downtown to Yizhuang, Beijing. 90% of the whole journey is an expressway with a speed limit of 110km/h, which is also the most challenging road condition for pure electric vehicles.

Power consumption performance

  Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is equipped with a 96.1kWh ternary lithium battery, which has a full battery life of 609km(CLTC). Before departure, the battery capacity is 97%, and the maximum cruising range is 606km. The whole process adopts "C" comfort mode, the kinetic energy recovery is D (intelligent kinetic energy recovery), and the air conditioner is set at 22℃, carrying two people and a small amount of luggage. High-speed basically runs against the speed limit, and often accelerates to overtake the local train. The minimum power consumption is 15.9kWh/100km. After the final driving of 111km, the apparent power consumption is 18.0kWh/100km, which is similar to the official claim of 17kWh/100km by Mercedes-Benz.

  The whole journey shared 22% of the electricity and ran 111km. It is estimated that under this road condition, the full battery life can reach about 505km. For a 2.6-ton medium and large pure electric SUV, this power consumption performance is very satisfactory, which is similar to that of many other brands of medium and large cars. In addition, it will also give two remaining cruising ranges (454km and 471km). The less one is the cruising range if you drive harder, and the more one is the cruising range if you drive more smoothly. It will always learn your driving style and calculate the remaining cruising range in real time in combination with road conditions.

Smooth arched body design

  Why is it so energy-saving? Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is developed based on EVA pure electric platform, and its electric drive efficiency is as high as 94%, making full use of every kilowatt hour. In addition, the front motor can be disconnected from the half shaft within 240 milliseconds, which makes the sliding distance longer and prolongs the total cruising range. The most important thing is that the drag coefficient of the whole vehicle is only 0.25Cd, which improves the cruising range by means of low drag design such as bow-shaped body, low drag wheel hub, closed middle net and smoother and narrower sheet metal gap.

Four kinetic energy recovery modes

  Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV has four kinetic energy recovery modes, namely D- (strong recovery), D (standard recovery), D+ (no recovery) and D auto (intelligent recovery). The most interesting thing is the intelligent kinetic energy recovery mode, which can judge the road ahead with environment-aware hardware and automatically adjust the kinetic energy recovery intensity. For example, when the accelerator pedal is released on the road ahead, it will automatically adopt the D+ sliding mode, and because the electric vehicle has no engine braking effect, the speed drops slowly and the sliding distance is very far. When the road ahead is congested, it will automatically adopt D- or D kinetic energy recovery to slow down the speed in time. If you don’t know which kinetic energy recovery mode to choose, choosing D auto is the simplest method, and its judgment is also very reliable, which not only ensures comfort, but also gives the battery some electricity.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  In intelligent driving assistance, Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV has L2 driving assistance, ACC adaptive cruise+lane keeping, which can greatly alleviate the fatigue of long-distance high-speed driving. At the same time, it also has the function of shifting the steering rod to change lanes. After shifting the steering rod, the vehicle can automatically change lanes and accelerate to the speed of constant speed cruise on the premise that the system judges the rear safety, which is still very convenient.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  Let’s talk about the driving experience again. The front and rear dual motors of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV output a total of 300 kW/858 N m, except in E economy mode, which will limit the motor power. In C comfort mode and S sports mode, it behaves like a beast. A big guy who accelerates for 5.1 seconds in 100 kilometers can also make people’s blood boil when they get angry. And the power is from 10% to 100%, and it can be fully output.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  It is worth mentioning that such a large SUV does not look up and nod too obviously, whether it is in sudden acceleration or sudden braking. There are probably two reasons for this. One is that thanks to the EVA pure electric platform, the four wheels are closer to the four corners of the car body, which physically inhibits the range of raising the head and nodding; Second, Mercedes-Benz has rich experience and foundation in suspension design and excellent support. A lot of new energy vehicles have been tested before, and the SUV that accelerates for about 5 seconds has a relatively large head-up and nodding range, which will inevitably cause discomfort to passengers in the car.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  The suspension adjustment of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is relatively moderate, and it retains strong support in comfort. It is comfortable enough for home use, and you can occasionally run wild when driving by yourself. The direction is accurate, and the sense of the road is also preserved. The road information is not completely isolated, and the driver can communicate better with the vehicle. In NVH performance, there is basically no wind noise when driving at high speed, only slight tire noise but it is not disturbing. In addition, we simply tried to ride the flagship model with air springs, which made the road vibration filter more thorough and more comfortable.

  The design of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is still the elegant beauty that is not too ostentatious. Inherited the unique design language of EQ family, the closed front grille and the three-pronged star emblem mesh complement each other, and the dynamic EQ design language shows the beauty of freedom and easy, with optional "meteor shower" intelligent digital headlights, providing up to 2.6 million lighting pixels.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  The side of the vehicle adopts the "arch" body design, which brings smoother and more dynamic lines while reducing wind resistance. Its wheelbase has reached 3030mm, and its body size is 4880/2032/1679mm.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  The tail of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is round and full, and the taillight adopts a penetrating 3D spiral taillight with four spirals inside. It is worth mentioning that if you see five spirals, it is its big brother-Mercedes-Benz EQS pure electric SUV.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV
The flagship version uses a hyperlinked screen.

  The interior of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV looks more like sitting in a yacht, elegant and dignified. The standard 12.8-inch central control panel integrates the latest MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, and adopts 8-core CPU, 24GB storage and 46.4GB memory bandwidth per second. The top model is a super-linked screen composed of three screens.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  MBUX adopts zero-level menu, and common functions such as air conditioning, music and navigation are all put on the interface. In addition, the physical buttons such as driving mode, vehicle setting and volume adjustment are reserved, which is more convenient to use.

Cross-country mode
Transparent chassis

  Off-road mode and transparent chassis are still very useful for an SUV. When encountering road conditions with poor vision, they will help you grasp the environment and vehicle status of the vehicle in time.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  Finally, I have to mention the HUD of Mercedes-Benz, which is not only large enough, but also clear enough. The most important thing is that the information displayed is quite rich. In addition, the visual distance projected by it is far enough, and the eyes will not feel tired after long-term use. If you don’t like HUD, you can turn it off by voice control. Mercedes-Benz’s "mind-reading voice assistant" can support natural semantic control, and there are many controllable vehicle settings, and the localization design is in place. In addition, Mercedes-Benz will start the largest OTA upgrade this year, and the "mind-reading voice assistant" will have stronger understanding and execution of continuous instructions, and the response speed of the second-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system will increase by 31%.

Mercedes-Benz China R&D Technology Center

  In this activity, we also visited the Mercedes-Benz China R&D Technology Center in Beijing to see how strict Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV and Mercedes-Benz’s standards for building cars are.

NVH laboratory
Expensive acoustic prosthetic head

  Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is not only equipped with noise reduction hardware such as VSG acoustic glass and vehicle acoustic package, but also pays more attention to noise balance adjustment. In Mercedes-Benz, the noise balance of the whole vehicle is more important than simply reducing the decibel value. In addition, the annoying low-frequency noise is mainly produced by the structure of the car body and chassis, which is difficult to improve later. Mercedes-Benz has carried out full simulation verification in the early stage of vehicle development to iterate the design of body and chassis, and effectively suppress the low-frequency noise of the whole vehicle. In addition, for SUV models, a major source of low-frequency noise is the tailgate. Only by adopting higher body rigidity can low-frequency noise be avoided. The torsional rigidity of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is 45,800 nm/.

Sunlight simulator

  Mercedes-Benz is the first automobile brand in China to introduce sunshine simulator, which restores the real use environment of customers at any cost and creates a cockpit travel experience that meets Mercedes-Benz comfort and energy efficiency standards. The sunlight simulator can simulate the high temperature of 50℃ in Turpan, the sunshine of 16 hours a day like Altay, and the relative humidity of 95%, so that the temperature inside the car can reach 70℃ at the highest. Through the high-strength test of sunlight simulator, the air conditioning comfort, air conditioning energy efficiency and heat insulation performance of sunroof and windshield of EQE pure electric SUV can be accurately evaluated.

Electric drive laboratory

  It is here that the official cruising range of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles is measured. It is worth mentioning that Mercedes-Benz also has strict standards for the electromagnetic radiation of electric vehicles that are highly concerned by users. Every component of Sandian has to pass the EMC test of the same standard, and the test standard of Mercedes-Benz is higher than the national standard.

Chassis lateral impact test bench

  Based on the accumulation of more than 130 years, Mercedes-Benz summed up the "Mercedes-Benz Driving Character", which is a set of chassis systematic standards, covering five dimensions of driving comfort, safety, driving confidence, sportiness and accuracy, and can quantify human subjective perception into more than 130 objective KPI data, and measure it through 40 sensors covering more than 100 directions. Mercedes-Benz suspension will not blindly seek softness, simple softness will lose the sense of road, which will make passengers’ senses mismatch, which will easily lead to motion sickness; For different road incentives, the secret of driving comfort is to be soft when soft and hard when hard. This is why the suspension adjustment of Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV is relatively moderate from the actual driving experience, and it retains certain support while being comfortable.

Star Speed Test Drive 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE pure electric SUV

  In April 2021, EQS, the first model based on Mercedes-Benz EVA pure electric platform, was officially released. In more than three years, based on this platform, Mercedes-Benz has launched a number of pure electric vehicles such as EQE, EQE pure electric SUV and EQS pure electric SUV. More than that, with the arrival of MMA pure electric platform, Mercedes-Benz pure electric vehicles will also be more competitive. At the 2024 annual meeting of China Development Forum held on March 24 this year, Ola K?llenius, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mercedes-Benz Group Co., Ltd. said: Mercedes-Benz will firmly transform into an electric vehicle. Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA) platform will be launched, marking the next step towards the electric future. Beijing Benz will launch vehicles based on MMA platform, including the long wheelbase version for China market. In addition, platforms such as MB.EA, AMG.EA and VAN.EA will be launched later, and each model of Mercedes-Benz in the future will bring corresponding pure electric product choices to customers.

  Electric switch, pure electricity is still running.

Seal, you can swim. Why are you always pulled out of the water?

Original Maya Blue Species Calendar

Did everyone watch the recent super-hot animation Sealook (also called "Leopard Watch")? The protagonists in the animation are all Q-bomb leopards, but as a nature lover, I can’t help but notice many details in the animation.

For example, the occasional round hole in the ice.

Seals and ice caves | Sealook

Such ice caves often appear in expression packs, from which a fresh leopard can be found (not).

Much like me who doesn’t want to go to work.

These ice caves are seals’ life-saving passages: breathing holes.

Seals are masters of diving and fishing, but as mammals, they still have to come back to the surface for air often, or they will drown. It is of course feasible to breathe in the cracks of the sea surface or ice layer, but if there are large stretches of sea ice above, they can only rely on breathing holes.

Weddell seal resting in the breathing hole looks super comfortable | |Youtube

The Antarctic seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) likes to snorkel under the solid ice for a long time. It is said that when they rest on the ice, they usually don’t leave the breathing hole for more than three meters. For seals, the breathing hole is the door of their lives.

Learning to find breathing holes is more important than learning to hunt.

Weddell seal cubs are going to swim in the cold sea two weeks after birth. At this time, the first thing they have to learn is to find breathing holes, which is even more important than eating.

In a study published in 2021, scientists compared the behavior patterns of young seals and adult seals in the sea, and thought that young seals and adult seals would practice navigation and positioning under the ice and find breathing holes when swimming in the water. They are not sure about the role of mother seal in this process, but it is likely to be a teaching behavior.

Adult Weddell seals can hold their breath for up to 1.5 hours, ranking among the best in the seal family, but young ones rarely dive for more than ten minutes. Drowning due to lack of swimming ability or inability to find breathing holes is one of the main causes of death for Weddell seal cubs.

What’s the saying? People who drown can swim …

You can’t dig an ice hole without a good mouth.

Adult Weddell seals have another responsibility, which is to maintain and defend the breathing hole.

When the temperature drops and the ice cave shrinks due to freezing, seals have to soak in the cold sea water and rub their jagged front teeth and canine teeth to widen the hole.

When people with sensitive gums see this picture, it is estimated that it has already started to hurt. In fact, the seal’s teeth can’t stand such a toss.

When they are about twenty years old, they will be unable to hunt and repair ice caves because of their worn teeth, and then they will die. Jerry Coyne, an American biologist, wrote in his blog: "If evolution can create perfect adaptability, it should make seals have growing teeth, just like rodents!

Perhaps the evolution king is more kind to the ring seal (Pusa hispida). Ring seals dig breathing holes with their front paws, which sounds much more reasonable than gnawing with their teeth. It will also be more labor-saving to choose cracks and weak spots on the ice to start construction.

Breathing hole is not only a vent hole for seals, but also an entrance for fishing. For seals living in the Arctic, breathing holes can also help them escape quickly when polar bears appear. But polar bears will also guard the ice cave and wait for the unlucky seal.

Although I really want to find more videos of Arctic seals digging breathing holes to share with you, Weddell seals have been studied the most. On the one hand, the behavior of different seals is different, and on the other hand, the activity area of Weddell seal is close to the Antarctic scientific research station, so it is convenient to study.

There are still many unknown secrets hidden in polar animals, but climate change is threatening their lives. Seals not only rely on the ice to inhabit and reproduce, but some of them also dig holes in the ice to raise their offspring. Climate change will lead to drastic changes in their habitat environment and affect their food sources.

Fight climate change and don’t let glaciers melt into the ocean. Leopard is good, and people are good.

Russia and Belarus sign a document on the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

  On May 25th, local time, Russian Defense Minister shoigu and Belarusian Defense Minister Khrenin held talks in Minsk, Belarus, and signed a document on the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Shoigu stressed that the control of the tactical nuclear weapons deployed in Belarus still belongs to Russia.

  In March this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that at the request of Belarusian President Lukashenko, Russia and Belarus had agreed to deploy Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian territory. Russia will train relevant personnel from April 3, and will complete the construction of storage facilities for tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus before July 1. (Reporter Wang Bin, General Desk)

Original Bao Wenjing pregnant belly exposure, exposure to natural pregnancy, only more than four months to meet her husband’s daughter’s wish.

It’s no secret that Bao Wenjing is pregnant with a second child. Before her husband Bao Beier participated in the activity, it was officially announced that the promotion was successful. At present, the recorded video in Bao Beier reveals more details about having a second child.

Bao Wenjing said why it’s only now, because after you find out that you are pregnant, you have to go to the hospital for all kinds of tests, and you can’t release it until it’s stable, usually three months later. There’s nothing to hide. It’s better to be steady.

There are plans to have a second child, because Bao Beier is 40 years old, and she will be 38 years old in December. She is also an elderly woman. Because Bao Beier and her daughter jiaozi want to have a younger brother or sister to accompany her, they start to prepare for pregnancy, which is a natural conception, not a test tube.

Bao Wenjing revealed that she was pregnant, but she was dizzy and confused, and needed to rest in bed. In the past, when she was pregnant with jiaozi, she was also in such a state. Although she didn’t vomit, she was confused.

I’m only a little over four months pregnant, not seven or eight months.

Bao Wenjing has gained 10 Jin, and the doctor told her to control her mouth properly and not to be too fat. After all, it’s only four months, and there are still five or six months left. If she is too fat, it may affect various indicators of her body.

Why is the second child called noodle? Because people in Northeast China all know that the steamed stuffed bun is jiaozi noodle, Bai Bei is steamed stuffed bun and his daughter is jiaozi, so the second child is called noodle. At present, we don’t know the sex of the child. In fact, as we all know, the mainland has strict control in this regard and basically won’t tell the sex of the child. Look at Bao Wenjing’s pregnancy. Maybe she’s pregnant with a daughter. Guess.

Both husband and daughter in their family don’t care whether the second child is a younger brother or a younger sister. jiaozi is very cute and funny. If a daughter like jiaozi is born again, their family will be really busy.

Bao Wenjing said that she was very afraid of pain, otherwise she would have given birth to a second child, and it was also very painful when she gave birth to jiaozi. She practiced dancing, and she was not afraid that leg press could bear it. Giving birth was very painful all over her body, so she couldn’t stand the grinding of her husband and daughter before deciding to fight. I must be afraid of having children, but be a brave mother.

Bao Wenjing said that pregnancy is not an easy task, and it is necessary to be kind to her mother. jiaozi is still looking forward to the second child, saying that she will take care of it when it is born. Bao Wenjing said that her daughter should study hard and take care of the child. Jiaozi is a good daughter, although she speaks very hard, but she is warm and considerate.

Bao Wenjing recorded this video to answer some questions from netizens and give some encouragement and comfort to many women expecting to have a baby. Of course, it is not easy to be a mother. The pregnancy process in October is also very hard, and the final production is also thrilling. Mothers are great, because the process of gestating life has to overcome many difficulties and finally produce smoothly. It is also necessary to train and educate children so that they can become useful people to society. It’s meaningless if you only have children and don’t raise them. It is not easy to have a good baby and raise it.

Bao Wenjing educated his daughter jiaozi very well, and she looked cute, smart and funny. Bao Beier also worked hard, and the whole family supported him in filming. Although his achievements were not great, it was also very good. After all, many people were still struggling, and some even achieved nothing. Bao Beier used to be an actor, but now he is a director and actor. He is looking forward to his new works, earning more money, raising his children well, becoming a new generation of filmmakers, better than his parents.

Bao Wenjing is not only an actress, but also a good mother. She is good at taking in. She once helped her friend Mabel Yuan to collect her family, which was amazing. She would be an excellent domestic worker if she didn’t become an actress.
