"Mr. Louis Pasteur, you did very well!"
For Jerome Bonaparte, the cholera vaccine produced by Louis Pasteur was not just a vaccine, but a significant network of connections.
If Jerome Bonaparte's memory hadn't failed him, a new wave of cholera would begin to spread at the turn of spring and summer this year.
At that time, the French Army fighting in the distant Near East would inevitably be affected by the cholera virus, and the vaccine in Louis Pasteur's hands would become a sharp tool for Jerome Bonaparte to win over the troops.
Imagine, an officer who, unfortunately, got infected with cholera during battle and could only lie despairingly on a hospital bed waiting for death, suddenly received a vaccine graciously sent by the Emperor from faraway Paris.
In their desperation, they would surely beg the medical staff to administer such a vaccine, and for every life saved, Jerome Bonaparte himself would gain the loyalty of another officer.
