Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 129 Centralized Isolation

After canonizing Mikhail as a knight, Purficott found Foster who had been directing the soldiers to clear the snow.

The old housekeeper, who had been busy all night, still looked as usual, even a little calm and relaxed.

It was his calmness that allowed the soldiers around him to maintain their morale and be able to accurately execute his orders.

This is also a quality that a qualified military commander must have. No matter what happens, you must always remain calm. Otherwise, the soldiers will collapse before they become generals, and morale will be out of the question.

Although Mikhail's method of building the igloo was the key to their ability to survive the snowy night last night, Foster's calm command undoubtedly also played a huge role.

Otherwise, just rely on that strong Rorschach man? He might be able to save a few more people, but it would be difficult to save everyone.

"Miss, you're here!" Seeing Perficott appear, Foster greeted her with concern: "In such a heavy snowstorm, you should stay in Eagle Beak Cliff. I'm here, and you won't go out." questionable."

"It is precisely because of such a heavy snowstorm that I feel uneasy." Purficott shook his head and did not agree with Foster's statement: "And now that the railway has been repaired, there is no danger in taking a small train. "

"Miss, you always insist on your own opinion." Foster was helpless, but didn't say much. He just reported the situation in the camp to Purficott: "Everything is normal in the warehouse area. I specially sent extra manpower last night, Miss. Your design was so solid that I even wanted to move everyone to the warehouse, where it was a little more solid after all.

As for the camp, Miss, since you have already met Second Lieutenant Mikhail, it means that you have already been to the military camp, so I won’t go into details.

The biggest problem at present is frostbite. Although they survived last night relying on the igloo built by Second Lieutenant Mikhail, many soldiers still have varying degrees of frostbite on their hands and ears.

Although we are not short of food and fuel, many soldiers were still frozen last night. Colds and typhoid are very fatal! We have to find a way to deal with these problems. "

What Foster was most worried about was nothing else. If the tent collapsed, it could be re-erected. Even if the house collapsed or the snow killed the soldiers, this was acceptable to Foster and he was prepared.

In the face of such a blizzard, there were no casualties, which was unexpected.

And this is actually nothing compared to the thorny problems they really have to face.

Frostbite and diseases caused by cold are the most fatal in this era, and can even directly make an army lose its combat effectiveness!

"Are there any empty warehouses in the warehouse area?" Purficott asked Foster. She frowned slightly, as if she had an idea.

"There are no empty warehouses, but if we sort out the materials in some warehouses, we should be able to free up an empty warehouse." Foster didn't quite understand what Perfectcott was thinking, but he still gave his answer.

During this time, he has been staying at the Fjord Camp. In addition to training the guard, his main job also includes managing the camp's warehouse supplies. Before the fjords were completely frozen, Purficott purchased and requisitioned a large amount of supplies from the empire and the New World colonies in order to have sufficient supplies to survive this cold winter.

A large amount of supplies filled the warehouse, which they relied on for the winter. Perfectcott could only hand it over to the people he trusted most.

Foster did not betray Purficott's trust and managed the place in an orderly manner.

"In that case, Grandpa Afu, please mobilize some healthy soldiers, sort out an empty warehouse, place soldiers with colds and typhoid fever in it for isolation, and send special personnel to provide them with food and treatment." Purficott thought of It is the centralized isolation system used in the original world to respond to epidemics. This method can effectively avoid the spread of infection and can also use limited medical resources in a relatively more concentrated manner.

Hearing what Purficott said, Foster couldn't help but change his face, and he had a bad association.

Because in this era, isolating the sick or injured usually only means one thing, which is to let them fend for themselves, or even use more cruel methods to reduce the burden on one's own side.

Originally, Foster did not think that Purficott would choose to do this, but recalling what happened in New Shaker City before, he was not sure whether Perficott would really do this.

So the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded Purfict: "Miss, they just have colds and typhoid fever. As long as they have enough food and hot water, plus appropriate treatment, they can survive on their own. It is necessary to gather them and isolate them..."

"What are you talking about? The purpose of gathering them is to take better care and treat them! Our medical resources are limited, and there is not enough place in the camp to place them. If we put them in the igloo, there will be problems. !" Purficott suddenly frowned, not understanding why Foster objected to this: "The warehouse has strong and insulated walls, which can better resist the cold, and the ventilation structure can also ensure air circulation, so as not to cause Widespread spread of disease and secondary infection!

Leaving them in the camp will require more people to take care of them, and spreading them out will make it easier to cause cross-infection. Why do you object to my bringing them together? "

When Purficott said this, Foster couldn't help but feel a little confused on his face, but he still explained it to Purficott in a low voice.

After listening to Foster's explanation, Purficott suddenly looked depressed. She didn't expect centralized quarantine to mean this in this era, but she didn't say anything more. She just told Foster to do what she wanted. Do it.

And she also sent two steam knights she brought to assist Foster, while she herself was going to check the various supplies stored here, especially the steam knight armors that had not yet been activated.

Although Purficott has 70 sets of steam knight armor parts that she has improved and can be used by regular knights, she has only used ten of them, and the remaining three sets are used as spares. In addition to the parts, the other fifty-seven sets are still sealed in the warehouse.

Despite his trust in Forster, Purficott needed to inspect these important supplies and other supplies.

When Foster saw this, he only had one steam knight to assist him, while the other steam knight was left behind to still protect Perfecticot.

Although the fjord camp is currently safe, the blizzard came too suddenly, and there is no guarantee that any wild beasts will emerge from the forest. Perficott still needs protection.
