We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"Inform Dr. Kelsi that we may not have enough people in either the action team or the medical team."

Chapter 263 Desensitization

Manpower is tight.

Before A's message was sent, Kelsey had already experienced this situation personally.

Currently, the medical facilities in Eureka State are filled with wounded soldiers, and the Carters' medical system has no spare capacity and is just functioning mechanically.In order to ensure that the system does not collapse, doctors here have to make choices.

Ordinary patients are ignored and all seriously injured soldiers are left alone. The lightly wounded are briefly treated and immediately put into the front line. Only the moderately wounded will be properly handled and sent to the hospital or sent to Queensland to be handed over to Sakaz. heal.

In this war-torn land, a medical operator who had just joined Rhode Island saw an astonishing scene when he received the wounded from Eureka medical staff.

A wounded soldier about 16 years old had a hole in his right shoulder, and blood was flowing out. The Carters doctor in charge of emergency treatment took a bottle of ordinary water and poured some on his hand. He washed his hands and handed him a small piece of bandage.

"Kid, wrap this around your left index finger."

After the doctor helped him wrap his hand, he took his finger and stretched it towards his own wound.

"Be patient and seal the wound first."

Seeing the index finger digging into the flesh little by little, and seeing the young soldier's pale face, Rhode Island's new medical operator didn't dare to breathe heavily.

After the doctor got up, she couldn't help but ask: "How can you treat the injured like this?"

Dr. Carters glanced sideways at her and pointed at his eyes. Only then did the medical operator notice that his eyes were bloodshot.

"I have to deal with at least 300 wounded people a day. I don't have any helpers or much medicine. Maybe there are new wounded people arriving now. This is the limit of what I can do."

"But you..."

She was about to use her medical knowledge to dissuade the doctor from his reckless behavior, but she was stopped by someone, Kelsey.

Kelsey grabbed the new operator in her department and said, "Sorry Mr. Harris, the children have not experienced war."

Dr. Harris was well-known in Syracuse. After learning about the independence of Eureka, he immediately returned to Rembilito.

"Little girl, if possible, I would also like to deal with the wounded better, but... I really don't have the ability."

Harris didn't pay attention to this. Whether the medical skills are superb does not matter much here. What is needed here is a large number of medical staff.He glanced at the Rhode Island armband on Kelsey's arm.

"Ms. Kelsey, thank you for coming to help us. I heard that you brought hundreds of professional medical staff and medical supplies. Thank you very much. If it were before, I would treat you to the best restaurant. But there is no restaurant now. I still have to deal with the wounded, so I will leave first... Please forgive me."

After Kelsey made a okay sign, she also led her operators outside.

"The wounded we take over are basically infected. At this time, their condition will become extremely unstable. You must be careful when handling them and protect yourself."

In the face of the tremendous pressure of the war, the dispute between ordinary people and those infected with ore disease was temporarily covered up, but that does not mean that it does not exist.Mild infections are okay, but people with moderate to severe infections are generally not treated, because once they are infected, medical staff will be in great trouble.Rhode Island is currently collecting all the infected and injured people in Eureka State's backlog and providing necessary treatment.

"We don't have enough containment medicine. I'm afraid we have to go back to Kazdale to purchase a batch. You can tell the people in the purchasing department later and ask them to find the banshee..."

Kelsey looked sideways and found that the newcomer was stunned again. Looking along her line of sight, there was a huge pit.

A group of people were throwing corpses wrapped in black cloth one by one, and a Kazdaele military drone was spraying some liquid in mid-air.

Suddenly, flames shot into the sky, which startled the little girl from the medical department.

"The shock of life and death, after seeing it too much, will be like a neurological reaction, and it will also become numb and desensitized. They use drones to spray combustion accelerants instead of stepping on them with their feet. This is already their greatest concern for dead soldiers. of respect.”

Kelsey gently patted the young operator. If Rem Billiton's condition hadn't been serious, she would not have sent such an operator to the front line.

But no matter how desensitized it is, the touch is still there.Many Carters people were crying around the pit, and they even tried to rush toward the flames. The Carters warriors had to pull up a human wall.

The weeping seemed to touch the fragile part of the little girl's heart, and she also cried, "Dr. Kelsey, why, why is there a war! Can't we all live well! Do we have to use our lives to create pain!"

.........

"Survive today."

“I can really relax and get some sleep.”

Victoria Troops, rear assembly area.All the soldiers who were replaced let out a sigh of relief, and they just lay on the ground without caring.

The military adjutant saw this and wanted to stop him, but saw that his commander was silent, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Lambart, what are you thinking about?"

"360 people. Last night we were sent to the second line. This morning we were reassigned to the front line. We fought with the enemy for half an hour and repelled a wave of attacks. 360 people died."

Lambart looked around, "Look, how many of our old faces are left?"

Without looking around, the adjutant's expression darkened.

"How can we keep our current soldiers?"

"Is this the Kent group?"

Seeing someone coming, Lambart quickly put away his emotions and walked to the other person.

"I am Lambart, commander of the Kent County Regiment."

The man saluted with a military salute and said, "Hello, commander, I have been ordered to collect casualty information on your side and allocate additional troops."

"Thank you. I didn't expect this supplement to come in such a timely manner."

Lambart smiled, and then walked towards the replenishment soldiers who were lining up, but as the distance grew closer, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes widened.

"What's going on?! Ursus has entered Londinium?"

The officer in charge of supplementing personnel was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Sir, we are not at war with Ursus."

Ignoring the stunned officer, Lambart walked quickly to the queue of recruits.Seeing an officer suddenly walking over angrily, the soldiers who had just joined the army for three months straightened up.

"How old are you!"

Lambart pointed to a person, who quickly replied: "Report! 21 years old!"

"How many of you!"

"19!" "20!"

He walked back and forth a few times, then pointed at someone, "You! How long have you been training!"

"Report! 3 months!"

"And you!"

"Report! Two more...87 days!"

Lambart's entire face was almost distorted. He turned around and asked, "These are the supplementary soldiers you gave me! Are these actually soldiers?!"

Chapter 264 The Supreme Instructions of the Parliament

Rem Billiton, behind where the Victoria Combat Forces were assembled.A small transport ship is anchored here, and a large amount of ammunition and various supplies are being unloaded to the ground by Carters porters.

Harold stood in the headquarters, looking at the backlog of supplies in his warehouse, but his heart was filled with hatred.

"Damn Sakaz drones..."

The materials stored in the warehouse are of no use at all. They can only show their power when they are distributed to soldiers.However, due to the cluster bombing of Sakaz drones and the loss of transport trucks, the frontline transportation capabilities of the Victoria Army were basically in a state of collapse.

Therefore, there was not much ammunition that could be sent to the front line. Harold once tried to organize the Carters tribe in South Rembiton to use manpower to transport and support the supply line, but these people were not soldiers.Sarkaz's drones don't even need to drop bombs, they just need to fly over their heads at low altitude to scare them into fleeing.

In that messy scene, no matter how Victoria's officers threatened and yelled, it had no effect, because no matter how you threatened, it was still a threat. Then Sakaz really took action!

Even the surrounding soldiers were worried that they would become Sakaz's targets. No one wanted to become as miserable as the previous transport team.

At present, the ammunition that can be used by troops in urban areas is all used by soldiers when they rotate troops into urban areas at night, and soldiers are allowed to carry excess ammunition with them.

But this can only maintain basic use. Now the preparation time for the Victorians to launch an attack has been greatly extended. The entire front has essentially no offensive behavior. It can only carry out defensive counterattacks to maintain the position. The only thing that can be reported to the country is - A pretty good exchange ratio.

"Is there really no way for our drones to drive away Sakaz's drones?"

Harold looked at his subordinates, but the man shook his head helplessly, "General, if drones are to be separated, then we will not be able to perfectly protect the artillery positions."

After many trials, Sakaz's drone had noticed the general location of the artillery positions, and the Victorians had to mobilize all air power to protect them.

"It's outrageous! How did Sakaz's drone fly so far!"

Harold asked: "Then can we also use drones to launch a surprise attack and blow up Sakaz's... artillery? If the enemy does not have artillery support, then our advantage will increase a lot."

"No way, General."

He shook his head, "The number of Sakaz's drones greatly exceeds ours, and we still have no way to determine their specific location."

"What about the Stormtroopers? Could you try to mount a raid?"

"The urban area is not a wilderness. We have to break through the double defense lines of Carters and Sakaz. We also have to be careful not to run into those inhuman things of the demon clan. After the mission is successful, we have to withdraw. Who do you think will be responsible? Would it be more appropriate to read this order to the soldiers?"

After listening to the commando captain's words, Harold knew that it couldn't be done. Soldiers were not stupid. Who would carry out such a mission?And this is not a soldier that can be wasted casually.

However, there was a reason why he was so eager to attack Sakaz's artillery, because the number of artillery shells sent from Victoria itself began to decrease.

Although Victoria's industrial capabilities and ammunition reserves suffered a certain loss during the Victorian Civil War that overthrew King Aslan, this does not mean that Victoria is dead.

The real reason is that Victoria is not at war at the moment.Parliament declared no war on any country, nor was it declared war by any one.Therefore, Victoria's entire military-industrial system cannot operate at full capacity.

In addition, Victoria's ducal troops and parliamentary troops belong to two separate systems, and the ammunition reserves of the two sides are not interoperable.As Ursus continues to make small moves on the border, the Victoria Parliament and many Dukes believe that local ammunition reserves should be given higher priority.

At present, part of the artillery and ammunition for Victoria's battle at Rem Billiton is provided by Parliament, and the rest is supplied by the Duke of Stafford, but they will not take out their wealth.

In order to protect morale, Harold did not dare to speak out, and the headquarters fell into silence for a while.At this time, the guard outside the door walked in.

"Report to the general, there are two officers who want to see you."

.........

Two officers stood outside the command headquarters. Judging from their uniforms, they belonged to the Victoria Army and the Navy respectively. They were not in the same military branch, so they did not speak directly, but just waited quietly.

After waiting for an unknown period of time, Harold's adjutant led a group of senior officers out of the headquarters. They walked away while the adjutant made a gesture to guide the two of them.

"Two, please come in."

Entering the command room, the two of them gave Harold a military salute.

"Gentlemen, what do you want from me?"

"General, please allow me to submit a request to you. Please be sure to change your plan."

The officer of the naval force was the first to speak, "It is really unbelievable to use a battleship to crush an infantry position. Our naval force in Victoria cannot do such a thing."

"What's wrong? Is it violating international regulations?"

Harold looked him in the eye, but the officer, undeterred by rank, said.

"General, your plan is not to fight, but to kill. I am a Victorian and a noble of Victoria. If I do such a thing...then what is the difference between us and the demons thousands of years ago? This will Bringing disgrace to the honor of my family.”

"Then what do you think is more important, your honor or the lives of the soldiers?"

Harold looked at Lambart, who was also full of astonishment, and said: "Tell the commander of the ship, tell me about the situation of our army. You should have received reinforcements today, so let's talk about this."

His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and Lambart took a deep breath.

“The supplementary soldiers I received today are no more than 21 years old at most, and they have only been trained for about three months.

"Did you hear that? My noble captain."

Harold looked at the surprised captain and said, "My patience is limited. I'll give you one more day to think about it. Get out."

The officers of the naval force walked out without saluting.Looking at Lambart who was still standing here, Harold sat down.

"Lambart El, what do you want from me? Reporting to someone higher up will make your division commander unhappy."

"I'm here for today's supply soldiers. Are they soldiers?"

Looking at Lambert's disbelieving expression, Harold smiled and said, "The ballista is not picky. As long as the body is not mutilated in anyone's hands, the basic functions will operate normally."

"But fighting is a matter for soldiers! How can you let a bunch of children in!"

"They have already joined the army, that is, they are soldiers!"

Harold's attitude did not change at all. He glanced sideways at the door, "This is the highest directive of the Parliament, and it has been tested by the Academy of Sciences."

"In Londinium, they simulated an urban battle and found that although there was a gap between veterans and recruits, it was not big, so they let the recruits be responsible for consuming Sakaz."

"Those damn technicians have no humanity left!"

Lambart cursed in a low voice. In their eyes, every living life is just a number!

"Where have all the millions of active-duty troops in Victoria gone?"

"Whether the military strength is sufficient is not determined by numbers, and aside from the Duke, our parliament's current troops are only a few hundred thousand."
