Struggle in the Steam Age

"The reinforcement of two thousand people, if you add those transport ships and the small fleet of sailors, the number of reinforcements should be around 3,300." Lawrence said after squinting his eyes and thinking. "In this case, we should prepare food supplies and some medicines for 3,500 people a week."

"Well, this number is indeed reasonable." After Lawrence had decided on the supplies to be sent, Syfiel, who was sitting on the side, nodded and said. "After all, it has been less than a year since the opening of New Sauer Island, so it is enough to be able to come up with this number of materials."

"In addition to these supplies, I think our territory should also send some forces to join this war."

After discussing the details of the supplies, Lawrence suddenly threw a proposal to everyone. And this suddenly surprised everyone present.

"Your Excellency, I can understand your enthusiasm for justice." After a few seconds of freezing, an old priest with a long white beard, the highest person in charge of the island’s crucifixion church, stood up and discouraged, "But we The work on the island has just begun, and the goblins may counterattack at any time. Under such circumstances, it is really not suitable for us to transfer the main force."

"Yes, yes." The priestess of the Fortune Church also said at this time, "In the face of the evil and barbaric forces entrenched around us, each of us really has to give up our own strength. But this kind of participation is also within our capacity. For example, there is no need for an island like ours to send its own army."

"Uh-actually I don't plan to mobilize the main army on the island." Upon hearing the words of the two priests, Lawrence realized that the people present might be wrong about what he wanted to express, so he hurry up Explained, "I mean, we can send a small non-combatant."

"After all, I also know that although the army on the island has been replenishing it, the army has never stopped fighting since it came to the island. Although we have won great victories in these battles under the premise of absolute superiority and our own losses have been very great. Small, but this kind of continuous battle still makes everyone feel extremely tired."

Since gaining new power, Lawrence can roughly perceive the emotions of the people around him. And when Lawrence went to the barracks to inspect during the recent period, he could clearly feel that his troops, especially the army, were all very, very tired and needed a good rest period.

Unlike those big countries, New Sauer Island has a small area and a small population, so the regular army is less than two thousand.

In this case, once something happens, the army will only be dispatched by the entire army, and sometimes it is even necessary to mobilize a part of the militia to make up for the shortage of manpower. Therefore, it is impossible to take turns in action like those big countries.

Because of this, Lawrence will naturally not mobilize this group of tired troops again into a cruel and relatively long war like a civilized expedition.

But on the other hand, in this situation. He is not the only choice to send the only regular army.

"If we don't send troops, what should we do?" Mr. Lambert also expressed his own opinions at this time. "Although it is a good practice to send some of the leaders to serve as migrant workers, we were already short of manpower in the morning, and it is really impossible to extract the population to do such work."

Unlike the other priests, Mr. Lambert is the father of Lawrence anyway, and he is also the true descendant of the August family. Therefore, in addition to considering this kind of major matter concerning the entire human race, the issue of island development will also be taken into consideration when there is no principled conflict between the two sides.

"Of course I don't plan to send workers. After all, our island itself lacks enough manpower. Even if it is reluctantly transferred, it will only draw two to three hundred people. The number of manpower of this scale on this level of battlefield is really too small. At best, it can only play a very weak role."

"So I'm thinking, in this case, we should give full play to our island's expertise." Lawrence said as the priest who looked at the Passion Church said. "And our biggest specialty on the island right now is in medicine, so I think we can send a medical team to the front."

"This is indeed a good idea." The priest of the Church of the Crucifixion immediately understood Lawrence's thoughts. "Especially our island's best medical skills are disinfection and surgery. It should be considered the most suitable for battlefield rescue. That kind of medical skills, and this is indeed more meaningful than sending 1,000 soldiers or the same number of migrant workers."

Now that a decision has been made, the next step is the detailed arrangement of all aspects. Syfiel took some officials to prepare supplies for the reinforcements of the Erythion Empire, while Lawrence went to the hospital, the army and various locations to mobilize volunteers to organize a medical team.

It may be because the great concept of Civilization Expedition has been deeply planted in the hearts of every civilized race, so when everyone heard that it was necessary to recruit a medical team for Civilization Expedition, they all enthusiastically signed up.

This also made Lawrence's process of recruiting volunteers very smooth, and even needed to control the number of people through selection.

"Professor Hans, it's better for you to stay here. After all, you are now 65 years old, and you are really not suitable for such an expedition." In the research room of the hospital, Lawrence persuaded the hospital dean who took the initiative to invite the hospital. "Especially the frontline conditions are terrible, it is too easy for people to fall ill."

"Mr. August, I am not as weak as you said." Professor Hans said angrily. "As for the situation on the battlefield, I know more than you. After all, I participated in the two civilized expeditions ten years ago and 30 years ago, so I think I should be more comfortable than you in this regard."

This Professor Hans was a professor of pathology who taught Lawrence when he was in school in the White Eagle Federation. He just retired the year Lawrence graduated.

Later, when Lawrence became an earl, he happened to think of this professor with a good level of impression, so it took a lot of effort to invite him to take charge of the hospital on the island with people from the crucifixion church.

It's just that Lawrence never imagined that this normally-looking professor would be so excited when facing a civilized expedition, and even resolutely clamored to join this medical team to go to the front line of the civilized expedition.

To be honest, Lawrence did admire Professor Hans' courage and determination. But the problem is that in this era when ordinary people can live beyond 60 years old are rare~www.ltnovel.com~ Lawrence really dare not bring this old gentleman to the dangerous battlefield.

Especially at the beginning, the development of hospitals and medicine on the island was not satisfactory because of the busy affairs on the island. Later, it was not until Professor Hans came to the island that the pharmaceutical industry on the island was on the right track as a whole under his specific responsibility.

Not to mention that as a professor who has spent a lifetime at Far Hong Kong University, Professor Hans naturally has a very good network. At least one-fifth of these medical researchers on Neushor Island was recruited by him. That's why Lawrence is reluctant to take the risk to return this key figure to the battlefield.

Therefore, Lawrence spent several hours to persuade the old gentleman that day. In the end, the production of various drugs and medical consumables in this war is as important as the doctors who are on the front line to treat the wounded. .

And if Professor Hans could not supervise the production of those products here, he might not be able to provide enough medicines and consumables as an excuse to persuade the old gentleman to stay on the island voluntarily throughout the war.
