It seems that they got some vaccines from the United States and British empires, and were injecting them into livestock one by one, saying that they could prevent livestock plagues.
You also know that in Motuo, the pastoral areas on both sides are connected.
To be honest, those grasslands are ours. When our herdsmen went there to graze, they dared to shoot and drive them back.
Recently, taking advantage of the epidemic prevention issue, they have become more unreasonable and have captured our herders and livestock for vaccinations.
The herdsmen refused to fight and frictions occurred repeatedly.
This matter was reported to the higher-ups, who told us to exercise restraint and that epidemic prevention is a good thing.
But Ah San was unyielding. He used this as an excuse to cross the border and seize livestock every now and then. He would not return the livestock, saying that he had found that our yaks and sheep had diseases and so they were all destroyed.
The herdsmen from the area that our Third Battalion is responsible for have come to find us, so we must go and help them get their livestock back!
Don’t you think so?
Xie Wan had heard Qin Muye mention it when the other side started to quarantine livestock.
At that time, she thought about how terrible the epidemics that would be transmitted from livestock in the future would be, and reminded Qin Muye to report this to the higher-ups. We should also conduct regular quarantine on livestock.
But Qin Muye said that this is difficult to implement in Tibetan areas.
The main reason is that the Tibetan area is vast and the number of livestock is huge, and we simply do not have the manpower and relevant quarantine methods.
Qin Muye had finished his work by then. He took off his apron and hung it on the pillar outside the kitchen. He then went to make a cup of tea for each of the Xie brothers and sisters and placed the cups on a small stool. Then he pulled a small bamboo chair over and sat down.
“Brother, I may have spoken a little hastily this morning, but you have to understand me.
The superiors repeatedly emphasized that no disputes should be provoked. This time, the other side received guidance from an expert and did things almost flawlessly.
They first reported the quarantine publicly, and then submitted a letter of understanding to our diplomatic department, hoping to help promote the epidemic prevention work in the livestock industry. Britain and the United States both donated quarantine materials and sent medical teams.
In other words, they have taken the lead in occupying the moral high ground and controlling international public opinion. If they accidentally exacerbate the conflict, public opinion will definitely be overwhelmingly in their favor.
This war cannot be fought! You went to help the herders and got the cattle and sheep back this time. I bet that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this matter will be reported by foreign media, saying that we are obstructing quarantine work and provoking trouble.
Ah San might use this as an excuse to send more troops to Medog."
Xie Yuanchao was not convinced and asked, "Are we just going to watch the enemy snatch the livestock of the common people and do nothing?"
Qin Muye said, "Brother, why don't you understand? Ah San doesn't eat cattle at all, what are they doing with those yaks? This is a trap in itself, we can't be fooled easily."
Xie Yuanchao's eyes lit up, "Asan wants to fight?"
Qin Muye shook his head. "Why would they want to fight if they can't win?" He lowered his voice and whispered, "I guess it's because we lost a series of heroes this year, and we don't have a prime minister in charge of diplomacy. There are rumors that the old man is not in good health. Western enemies and those bad neighbors may think there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. The small actions on the border are just a test.
The higher-ups have repeatedly stressed that the border must be stable this year, and we cannot cause any more trouble for them.”
After listening to Qin Muye's words, Xie Wan seemed to be thinking about something.
This year is indeed a year of great changes. It is already the end of August, and we really cannot fight a war at this time.
Xie Yuanchao muttered, "What should we do? If they provoke us, should we just put up with it? I can't put up with it!"
Qin Muye glanced at Xie Wan, then looked at Xie Wan's belly, and sighed.
Xie Wan understood immediately. Was this a pity that she was pregnant and it was not convenient to ask her to join in the fun?
Xie Wan patted Xie Yuanchao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, next time something like this happens, come back to me immediately and I will help you solve it. I guarantee that no one will catch us and we will get justice for the herders."
Qin Muye looked away and pretended he didn't hear it.
