After finishing contact with the doll, Lawrence did not stop, but came to a semi-underground building in the middle of the peninsula. The height of the building exposed to the ground is only about the waist of a person, and it is basically surrounded by a large number of vine plants, and there is an earth wall at the entrance. It is basically difficult to find this place if it is not known in advance.

This building is one of the core buildings that Lawrence and the others built on the mountain after they came here. In addition to the short-range telegraph machine allocated on the island, they also moved a long-range telegraph machine on the ship, so it can be used to contact the city. The main position, those warships and armed merchant ships temporarily controlled by the navy, and the function of Sauer Island.

Therefore, in this case, the building is naturally under key protection. In addition to using a small part of the allocated steel plates for reinforcement, this temporary communication station also has more than two meters of heavy civil construction and low-rise buildings. shape.

Even in order to prevent this place from being discovered by the Sahua people, they also specially asked the priests of the agricultural church to take time to temporarily cultivate a batch of plants, disguise the building as a small ordinary hill and strictly enforce light control.

For those telegraphs, the most difficult thing to hide is the tall antenna. Especially the batch used for long-distance communications. Fortunately, this small peninsula had only built a fort on the top of the peninsula before, and all other places have maintained the original ecology, so there are many trees in this area.

So Lawrence and the others decided to disguise the communication tower as trees and mix them in the surrounding woods after a brief thought, so that they can basically guarantee enough concealment in the battle against the murlocs. Anyway, for this war, murlocs without radio detection equipment are basically unlikely to find this side.

"Now sending a report to the city, it is said that our ministry has found that the large group of Sahua murlocs is more than 30 kilometers away from our island. If there is no accident, they will contact us in three hours. Collision with the perimeter defense line—"

After entering the communication room, Lawrence quickly sent the intelligence detected by Nora to the main position in the city through the telegrapher on duty. Then began to wait for a call back from the command center.

Ten minutes later, Lawrence received an order from the port requesting all armed personnel to enter the position. So under the order of Lawrence, a hand-cranked siren placed at the highest point of the peninsula was quickly sounded. Then the soldiers in the barracks tent quickly brought their equipment and started to enter the battle position.

Because of the many previous exercises and the mixing of different races, the troops on the peninsula reached their respective combat positions within a short period of time with extremely scarce lights under the control of lights.

In comparison, the direction of the main position in the port area seems a lot chaotic. Even when Lawrence was standing at the observatory at the top of the small mountain range on the peninsula, he could see the messy lights and the noise of personnel and weapons in the direction of the port city.

At the same time, the logistics office became busy. Lawrence had prepared two field cooking wagons and started cooking breakfast with all his strength. Considering that Sahua’s murloc’s offense is likely to last a long time, Lawrence thinks it’s best to eat breakfast first at this time, so as not to reduce combat effectiveness due to starvation during the fight.

"Prepare the second meal. Pour in the floss and cheese we brought before, and remember to add more spices." Because of Nora's real-time monitoring of the Sahua murloc troops, Lawrence also appeared calmer in combat arrangements. After checking the front line, he came to the cooking class and inspected it.

Lawrence's request is very normal, because according to tradition, everyone has to eat a good meal before going to the battlefield. Not to mention that the Sahua Murloc’s offense is often the beginning of the climax, so if he does not consume enough calories at one time, he is really worried that everyone will not be able to sustain it under the premise of high-intensity activities.

If it were wartime, Lawrence and the others would produce a large amount of high-calorie paste and send it to the front line to save time for meals. They might even consider letting the soldiers eat the compressed biscuits they carry with them. But considering that there are about three hours before the battle, everyone has enough time to eat a formal breakfast.

Yes, you read that right, there are already compressed biscuits in this era. Since the invention of the steam engine, this kind of thing hasn't been difficult to make. It is different from the compressed biscuits that the general military purchases only flour, water, salt and vegetable oil. Lawrence, who chose to take the route of elite soldiers, added pork floss, dried fruit and a lot of milk powder to the compressed biscuits distributed by the army.

According to the conclusion that the soldiers tried to eat before, the simple version of compressed biscuits in Lawrence’s eyes tastes very good, and it is also very hungry. The only bad thing is that this kind of thing is not suitable for long-term consumption because of the lack of vitamins and imbalanced nutrition. Otherwise, it may lead to a series of bad effects caused by vitamin deficiency.

Fortunately, compressed biscuits, which are used as emergency food, are only used for a short period of time during combat, so the problem is not too big.

After all, compared with most of the logistics foods of ordinary human-armed soldiers that only have dry noodles and pickles and bacon soup, Lawrence's logistics equivalent to the level of World War I is enough to be called luxury, at least not like Some army, like the army, can produce a lot of patients with scurvy.

As a standard keyboard military expert, Lawrence has a good understanding of various military theories. But the corresponding actual military command level is limited to adding chaos. So now he simply handed over the command of the front line to the professional officers in the dust. And I concentrate on boosting morale.

As for morale boosting, nothing can boost morale more than a good meal at this time. Although the island is located in the tropics, the temperature is not very cold, but it is very humid because of the sea. For this reason, Lawrence ordered that spicy spices be added to the high-calorie canned meat and vegetables to remove dampness.

In addition, Lawrence also used the black tea he carried to boil several large pots of tea, along with bread, stir-fry and thick soup, and delivered them to the battlefield. In the fierce battle, these foods may cause an overburden on the stomach, which is not conducive to combat, but now everyone still has more than two hours, which is enough for everyone to digest.

Sure enough, after this batch of hot food was sent to each battle position, the morale of the soldiers was greatly improved. Especially now that many people are a little groggy because they just woke up from their sleep, these hot foods help them wake up quickly.

After eating, they began to conduct the last weapon inspection before the war under the arrangement of the officers. At the same time, they began to work shifts to temporarily rest and recuperate. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

After inspection, Lawrence found that these people under his command were in very good condition. After all, this world is not the stable world of Lawrence's previous life. A certain distance away from the settlement of civilized creatures will encounter various deadly enemies. So basically everyone present has war experience against those savage creatures, and morale is relatively high overall.

This is true even if there are many temporary militia troops like the Rat and Tauren. Unlike humans, their living environment forces them to be in a state of war all the time. To say that the combat experience may even exceed that of the professional soldiers under Lauren.

Because among this group of professional soldiers, only veterans have experienced the previous large-scale battles, and in addition to training, the recruits were at most involved in the task of encircling and suppressing scattered goblins.

The next step was to wait, so Lawrence and Seifer entered the observatory at the highest point on the island and began to observe the surrounding movements, and sent Nora's observations to the main position via telegram every 15 minutes.
