Struggle in the Steam Age

Due to the limited tonnage of the airship, Lawrence simply let his subordinates move forward in two parts: Among them, He Nara will bring medical personnel and some medical supplies that cannot be transported by land to the Pine Valley in advance. The other armed personnel and logistics personnel slowly joined them along the road.

The reason for this decision is that Lawrence knows that saving people is like fighting fire. If a field hospital can be established a minute earlier, it may have a few more people.

As for the security issue, he doesn't need to worry too much, because the front line is not far from the Pine Valley, so there are a large number of troops stationed in the valley, and there is no need to worry too much about security issues.

"The road here is indeed a bit bad." After the airship took off, Lawrence said with emotion after looking at the crowded mountain road below the airship. The mountain road now looks extremely muddy, and a group of people took up half of the road to build a temporary meter-gauge railway. Therefore, even if the headquarters sent a lot of people to command in the middle of the road, the flow of people on the road could not be accelerated.

"I think the situation should be better after the wartime meter-gauge railway is repaired." Nora, who also looked at the situation below, said fairly. "Fortunately, the mountains here are mainly rocky mountains, and the topography of the valley is relatively flat. Otherwise, road construction would never be as simple as it is now."

Because the airship can fly in a straight line, those roads that have to go down the mountain road for a whole day can now be reached by airship in just over an hour. After the airship stopped on the platform where the temporary hospital was scheduled to be built, Lawrence and the others immediately became busy.

"Colonel!" Just after Lawrence and the others got off the airship, a lot of soldiers ran out of some tents stationed beside the platform, and then a lieutenant walked up to Lawrence to salute, and then looked at him. "Excuse me, are you going to build a field hospital here."

"Yes, I'm Colonel August, the captain of the medical team this time." Lawrence also raised his hand and said after a salute. "Considering that there may be wounded people now, I brought the medical staff and some medicines to come here in advance, hoping to start the treatment work as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much for this, Colonel." Hearing what Lawrence said, the lieutenant in front of him saluted Lawrence again, then ran back to his camp and shouted.

"The doctors from the field hospitals have already come here in advance, so now they can quickly come over and join hands. If they finish their work earlier, they can treat the patients earlier."

"What? The doctor has come." "Didn't it mean that the doctor will come next afternoon?" As soon as the lieutenant's voice fell, the soldiers immediately started talking.

But when they saw the medical flag of green herbs and white scalpel crossed on the red and white stripe that Lawrence erected, all the soldiers on the scene ran out of their tents and came to this construction site to help. Get up alive.

The army that came to help was the National Guard of Tranquil Valley of the White Eagle Federation, with about one company in number. The task assigned to them by the command is to be stationed in Pine Valley as a guard force.

So with the help of these neighbors, Lawrence set up the most important debridement, bandaging, inspection and surgical tents in two hours.

And shortly after the tent was set up, some of the medical equipment had not been sent in. Some critically wounded people who were waiting in the valley to be transported by the airship were transferred here for temporary treatment.

In this case, Lawrence can only organize a group of doctors to carry out rescue work on the spot, while directing the remaining personnel to continue the construction of the field hospital.

Naturally, this practice of building and receiving medical treatments puts a lot of pressure on Lawrence. Especially because of the fact that the admissions have just begun, the number of patients who have been sent is due to the large number of previous accumulations, and most of them are severely ill with severe trauma. Even Lawrence and the others cannot guarantee to save all of them. .

Therefore, in this case, Lawrence, Nora, and a priest from the Crucifixion Church formed a working group to classify the wounded who were sent to the entrance of the hospital to ensure that more wounded can be treated.

From a certain perspective, they also determine the life and death of many people here.

This is a heavy work, especially since Lawrence and the others have neither scrolls of high-level divine arts nor high-level clergy of this type of divine arts that can be released.

Therefore, they had no choice but to hard-heartedly reject some seriously wounded people who were determined to be unable to survive a simple inspection.

In addition to making people feel heavy, there are some very tricky things in this job. For example, for soldiers who are fighting alongside the wounded, it is difficult for them to accept that their brother was abandoned like this while he was still alive. Fortunately, Lawrence and his group have priests from the Passion Church, so everyone can accept this despite the pain.

At this time Lawrence also noticed that because there are real gods in this world, everyone clearly knows where they will go after death. So when facing death, he is obviously more open-minded than in the previous life. At this time, the priests who came with the team were also sent out to hold dying ceremonies for the wounded who were dying.

Because this world is a standard polytheistic world, with this in mind, the priests of civilized races have mastered a universal dying prayer magic.

This magic will not change the recipient's original beliefs, but will only allow the recipients to receive simple blessings from the gods and help them to live better in the journey after death.

Except for those injuries that are too severe to treat. Lawrence and the others have to persuade some wounded people who seem to be seriously injured at the entrance of the temporary hospital, but in fact they can wait for the airship or even the vehicle to be sent away. Let them leave treatment opportunities to those who really need urgent treatment.

Due to the fierce front-line war, the wounded were sent in the direction of Pine Valley. This also made Lawrence and the others have to work all night, in order to make as many as possible the wounded survive. Fortunately, just when they were almost unable to hold on, the group of logistics workers who were left behind finally arrived.

In addition, after learning that Lawrence and their field hospital had reached the designated location but lacked manpower. The front-line headquarters quickly sent some people to help.

Therefore, after the logistics in the rear arrived, they quickly replaced the medical staff who were doing post-production work and put the field hospital on the right track~www.ltnovel.com~ Although due to the limitation of capacity, Lawrence and the others It is temporarily unable to obtain enough materials to complete the construction of the previously designed field hospital. But fortunately, there are enough manpower available for mobilization, so after the field hospital is running on the right track, Lawrence and Nora immediately acted as transport capacity to carry various materials for the field hospital.

Of course, Nora is the main labor force. Lawrence was transported out of only one task, and that was to wrestle with the officials for various supplies.

After all, if you want to obtain supplies, Nora’s identity is not convenient for negotiating with the logistics officers, while Lawrence is more convenient to get supplies from the logistics officials.

But after seeing the colonel in the logistics department again, Lawrence realized that the facts were a little different from his own thoughts. Because when they heard that Lawrence and the others wanted to pick up these goods by themselves, the other party did not set up any obstacles at all, but directly called a second lieutenant to take Lawrence and them to the cargo storage yard.

The cargo storage yard is the cargo yard supporting the railway station in the past, but with the outbreak of the civilized expedition, the area here has greatly expanded. So Lawrence and the others saw a high pile of goods two blocks away from the cargo yard.
