Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 588: logistics

In this weird calm, Nora, in addition to helping people with illnesses and transporting various supplies, also personally went to the area around Pine Valley at night to investigate.

However, the actual investigation results are not much stronger than others, because this time the Wilderness Race apparently used underground passages to mobilize their troops, so if you just pass by from low altitude, there is no way to find any exact information about the Wilderness Race's movements. news.

Nora also proposed during the investigation that she needed to go to the ground to find more information, but it was rejected by Lawrence. Because Lawrence felt that when conducting ground reconnaissance at this time, it would be easy for the Wilderness Races to detect that they were wrong and make corresponding adjustments, which was of little significance from a certain perspective.

Soon, almost a week passed while waiting. Take advantage of this rare free time on the battlefield. Lawrence took the initiative to build the garrison troops in Pine Valley.

For example, the construction of public canteens and toilets, and the construction of facilities for the troops stationed in the region have a unified plan.

"I have to say that Earl Sauer does have a way." It was during dinner that day. In one of the five public canteens in Pine Valley, a combat engineer from the Republic of New China forkped a piece of fish in tomato sauce on a plate and put it into his mouth. "At least their field food is much better than ours."

"This is also thanks to our federal government's willingness to pay for this kind of daily consumption during this period. Otherwise, if we want to wait for our review, it is estimated that the war may be over before the money can be allocated."

Said another soldier who seemed to be the National Guard of a certain state of the White Eagle Federation.

Because everyone is a neighbor, there are many people in the White Commonwealth or the Republic of New Zealand who can understand each other's language. Therefore, it is not too difficult to communicate with each other now.

After everyone got together in the restaurant, the most boring soldiers talked about food.

Obviously, everyone is quite satisfied with the purchase of food from Lawrence by the White Eagle Federation. As for the White Eagle Federation, the acquisition of these military rations produced by the Lawrence industry in the Federation can not only leave a good impression on everyone at a lower cost, but also stimulate various local industries by the way.

Under this kind of win-win situation, Lawrence naturally gained enough benefits. Of course, because this was a civilized expedition, Lawrence only set a higher price than the cost when he sold these materials.

So he didn't get much economic benefits. But this does not mean that Lawrence did not complete this large order as a whole. The biggest gain is that the entire film industry has stabilized after the order was placed.

After all, this industry is the compensation that Lawrence received from the White Eagle Federation before, and it is the industry that was given to Lawrence after the guys who had colluded with the wilderness race and even the evil **** were cleared up.

Because of the busyness recently, Lawrence hasn't even visited these industries for such a long time.

Therefore, during this period of time, the workers in those industries are all in a state of anxiety. After all, their upper-level managers, supervisors, and the like have been arrested by the terrifying courts and regular army in their eyes. go. And the new owner did not come over for a long time.

If Lawrence hadn't sent a few people with snacks and relief money to stabilize everyone, it is estimated that these industries may have run out.

But even so, these industries can only maintain a low level of operation when various commercial channels have disappeared, which can only ensure that everyone will not die of starvation.

However, considering that there is no job available outside, most people chose to stay in place and wait for a turnaround because of Lawrence's willingness to issue relief rather than direct layoffs during this period.

Soon, because of the civilization expedition. The turning point of those light industry factories and farms also followed. A large number of orders quickly put these factories and farms into operation.

The reason why these manufacturers were chosen to produce supplies is also very simple. It was because the food and beverage standards of Sauer Island successfully won the bid for front-line food and beverage services during the previous White Eagle Federation Logistics Food Bidding.

Because Lawrence’s army can basically be regarded as completely belonging to the island of New Sauer except in name, and only accepting the independent army commanded by the Earl of Sauer and his designated personnel

. So in this way, Lawrence also needs to formulate various rules and regulations about the army.

In theory, they can also use the existing military doctrines of other countries, but considering the population and wealth of Sauer Island, they have to take the military route, so those existing doctrines may not be easy to use.

More importantly, Lawrence also discovered that the military development of this era is similar to that of his previous life in the mid to late 19th century. Various weapons and equipment, tactics and strategies have changed rapidly, and it can even be said to be changing with each passing day.

And some big countries tend to be conservative in weapon and tactical updates due to their large size and various other reasons, and in many cases they will even adopt some things that are clearly behind the times.

For those big countries, if the frequency of replacing weapons and equipment is too high, there will be major economic problems alone. And their size also allows them enough time to adjust their tactics when the war situation changes.

This is not the case for the army on Sauer Island. Because they are too few in number and always guarding the front line facing the wilderness race, they must do everything possible to arm themselves.

Fortunately, Lawrence was also considered a keyboard military expert in multiple forums in his previous life, and the Earls Court of Sauer itself had many people who had military experience. So everyone finally worked out a set of new regulations that were in line with the Sauer Island army.

This rule covers all aspects related to the military in no detail. In addition to fighting, it also includes a series of regulations such as camping, marching, medical treatment, and diet.

For example, in terms of food, Lawrence formulated in detail what the diet should look like in different situations.

The best type of food is mainly fresh food, but it is often only eaten in the station and certain areas with very good conditions. Of course, this is also the best food for officers and soldiers.

During the time Lawrence and the others were stationed in Pine Valley, they ate second-class food, which was food cooked on the spot after a large amount of semi-finished products were imported through canned or dry shipment.

Although these foods are incomparable with the first type of food, they can be regarded as delicious and nutritious under the current conditions~lightnovelpub.net~ and the three types of foods belong to the field ready-to-eat cooked food. During this time, Lawrence asked Nora to ship A large number of canned fish, vegetables and rice **** belong to this type of food.

This kind of food can maintain the daily needs of the fighters after at least half a month of continuous consumption, but some nutritional imbalances will appear over time.

Of course, in terms of taste, few people can eat only the slightly hard rice **** with vegetables and fish that are basically stewed in a high-pressure container every day for several months.

The last type of food is emergency food, which includes high-calorie foods to be eaten in emergency situations: a can of three hard glutinous rice cakes wrapped in chocolate sauce and condensed milk.

It also includes the rice, dried meat and vegetables used for the wounded to eat. After being beaten with milk and roasted, the small cubes are formed by steaming. As long as they are washed, they can become a nutritious paste for those who are weak. Food for the wounded.

This is much better than the military rations of hard cakes with pickles and bacon used by other military forces, and the cost is much lower than delivering fresh food. So after Nora helped repair the meter-gauge train, the food was delivered from the factory area near Huguang City.
