Struggle in the Steam Age

After staying on the ship for 12 full days, the Sauer Island fleet with Enterprising as its flagship finally landed at the dock in Huguang City.

While in the sea outside Eagle Fort, the reinforcements sent by Vieques and Lawrence and their fleet parted ways and entered Eagle Fort, and then after a short training, organized with other reinforcements to the battlefield.

As for the specific battlefield to be sent to depends on luck, after all, after several civilized expeditions, the wilderness races living in the great mountain region also formed a certain loose alliance.

After discovering this, the civilized races also changed their tactics to launch an offensive against the wild races in the entire Great Mountain Range to distract those enemies.

In this case, inadequately trained temporary troops like the Vieques Island troops will be sent to other feint locations as supplementary troops to the regular army, or they will be sent to the back of the main attack location as guards or logistics for certain military stations. Transport team **** on the transportation route.

The medical team under Lawrence is obviously different from the soldiers sent by Vieques. It belongs to the kind of talent most needed on the front line. Therefore, they have enough priority to follow the now saturated canal system all the way west and rush to Huguang City as quickly as possible.

"According to the plan, we can rest here for a minimum of three days." Lawrence told the medical team members who ran to the deck after the boat docked on the wooden trestle.

"These days we will be concentrated in the temporary camp in the dock area, but this does not mean that we can only stay in the camp."

This camp is actually a temporary camp not far away from the empty yard for stacking goods. There are a large number of tents and wooden temporary houses arranged neatly on it.

Although it is not too close to Lawrence and their berth. But because of its huge size, Lawrence and the others can see it even on the deck of the Enterprise.

As an important material production base and a personnel and material distribution center behind the main attack direction, Huguang City has naturally made a lot of preparations for this war.

. In addition to intensifying the production of various required materials, a number of camps have also been opened for temporary rest and recuperation of troops who have passed by and repaired.

And the camp that Lawrence and the others saw now was the third-largest camp and the first-ranked camp among the dozens of camps in the urban area of ​​Huguang City. It is mainly used to receive reinforcements that are more important to the headquarters. For example, the temporary camps assigned to them like Lawrence are here.

"Considering that we are about to enter the war zone, I think everyone can go out of the camp at this time and go to the urban area of ​​Huguang City." Lawrence naturally knows the importance of work and rest, especially after nearly half a month. We should pay more attention to this issue when we are going to invest in an important war within a short time after the voyage.

"But everyone knows that Huguang City is not as safe as our island, so I hope that everyone can avoid going to certain dangerous places. At the same time as many people as possible form a team." Looking at everyone's faces revealed. After smiling, Lawrence reminded with a serious face.

"I think the Lord's concern is very reasonable, so I am here to prescribe a few regulations and hope that everyone can abide by it." The deputy steward of Irving, who is also one of the main heads of the medical team, came out to sing a grudge at this time. "There are not many regulations, just two. One is that everyone must come back before 9 o'clock every night, and the other is that at least three people are required to form a group when going out."

"Understood." "I know." "We will definitely comply." After listening to the instructions, the medical team members who ran on the deck promised. Then they lined up and exchanged the money in their hands from the deputy steward of Irving into the federal dollars of the White Eagle Federation, and then each formed a team and went straight to the city to relax.

For the next five days, the medical team from Neusauer Island relaxed for the last time before fighting in the city. Lawrence and Nora stayed in the camp to communicate and sort out all kinds of things about supplies and materials, and make final preparations for this expedition.

The supplies that need to be replenished in Huguang City are not too few. In addition to the various conventional warming supplies that were ordered and prepared before, there are many supplies that Lawrence found useful.

For example, some stoves for heating, including emergency stoves that burn whale grease, and safety explosives that significantly exceed the normal demand.

In addition, Lawrence and Nora went to the Bofors Gunpowder and Metal Processing Factory to fetch the extra weapons and ammunition that had been prepared by the dwarf Eugene who had called before.

Since we took a lot of medical supplies into consideration when we set off, in order to save tonnage, the soldiers only carried five rounds of ammunition, and the mortars did not even carry shells at all.

Although the command headquarters will distribute ammunition to all armed personnel participating in the war, non-combat units like the medical team under Lawrence can only replenish 1/3 of the ammunition of combat units.

So for various reasons, Lawrence felt that it was more appropriate for him to find a way to prepare some ammunition at his own expense.

For Lawrence, who owns his own weapons factory, it is not too difficult to arm his troops at his own expense. Especially with the development and mergers and acquisitions during this period, the Bofors factory, which was originally a small munitions factory, has now become a medium-sized munitions complex that mainly produces light artillery, light weapons and supporting ammunition.

After meeting the dwarf Eugene, the current head of the Bofors factory, the other party had already prepared what Lawrence and the others needed before. But in addition, he also showed Lawrence a series of new weapons he developed recently. Obviously, all the money made from the factory is basically invested in weapons research.

"It has only been a few months since I saw you become an earl, and there is a realm of his own, which is really great." When we met, the dwarf Eugene happily patted Lawrence on the waist and praised him. "Really, if it weren't for the orders you gave to our factory before and you opened up a lot of markets on your excuses, we wouldn't be able to develop so fast here."

"It mainly depends on what you are doing well here, otherwise, no matter how good the product is, it will be useless." Lawrence said with a smile. "By the way, I see the telegram you sent me saying that several new weapons have been invented that may be used in this war. Can I see what they are?"

"Of course, of course." Eugene said, leading Lawrence and the others to the outside of a large warehouse and pushed open the large iron door~www.ltnovel.com~ and then turned a **** at the entrance to light the warehouse. The gas lamp pointed at the things inside and said. "Look, this is the weapon I recently researched."

The weapons studied by Eugene this time are much better than the last time. Obviously, he has listened to Lawrence's emphasis on the need to balance the performance and cost of weapons. It's just that because of the nature of the dwarves, these weapons are quite similar to the Germans in the previous life.

"This portable flamethrower is really good, but can you tell me how this pressurized fuel tank was made?" Lawrence asked after taking a look at a flamethrower about the size of a fire extinguisher. "How do I feel that this kind of fuel tank is not something that an ordinary machine can make."

"You are talking about the idea, because this fuel tank was made by a few senior dwarf technicians I invited." Eugene also looked helpless. "And this is the cheapest way we can think of. Otherwise, it would be more expensive to use some magic barrier to make this high-pressure vessel."

"Yes, but since we can't use this thing as a single-soldier weapon, why not use this thing as some kind of heavy weapon?" Lawrence gestured while holding the flamethrower. "For example, use it on a trolley like a heavy machine gun."
