"Change the order. No withdrawal is allowed. Build fortifications and strengthen defenses at the front. Also, halt transportation between the front and rear. Supplies can be lowered using chutes and tracks. However, no more troops will be sent to the front, and no frontline personnel will be allowed to return."
"You mean these muffled shells?"
"There's no report of smoke rising from the front lines, which means it's not a poison gas bomb, but a bacterial bomb. In short, a plague should break out on our front lines soon."
"plague!"
This is the most feared thing for a general after assembling an army, bar none. Not to mention the various deadly diseases that terrify everyone, even a simple bout of diarrhea, if not properly controlled, could completely deform an elite army... Just think about it: if you're at the point where you poop everything you eat, let alone fight, you'd win if you could even stand up and walk upright.
Xia Junao swallowed his saliva and did not ask what to do with Duke Yan Longqiu.
What else could he do? He couldn't possibly come back alone and bring the plague with him, could he?
Now we can only wait and see. If it is just a false alarm, then everything is fine. If it is really a plague, then according to the rank of Duke Yan, we have to deal with it in a big way.
"This order should also be sent to the other three battlefields. Please also help me determine the locations of the other three leaders. I hope they are not on the front lines."
"Yes, sir."
Although the soldiers outside did not understand, the fact was that after gaining a comprehensive advantage, the top leaders of the alliance entered an urgent and chaotic state.
Bao Gu, the Minister of Health of Qinghe, who had been quietly studying medical skills behind the scenes, immediately entered the command post on the top of the crater with her carefully trained medical team and was given the highest authority. Everyone on the front line needed to cooperate with her work.
In the rear, the troops assembled in various places were ordered to move only within their own areas. The only communication between the troops and the headquarters could be through telegrams... If anyone was found sick, they would be isolated immediately...
The alcohol and masks stored in the supply warehouse... In short, all the supplies that Lin Hai, who had experienced the epidemic, forced them to produce were deployed and immediately sent to the interior of the crater...
On the front lines within the crater, according to the frontline command, even though it had only been two days since the escort army's bombardment, a large number of soldiers had already developed fevers, vomiting, and some were in coma...
There weren't even enough isolation areas in the position. After all, everyone could only stay in the trenches, and any attempt to rashly build isolation camps on flat ground was met with artillery fire from the Abyss - this time it was real artillery shells.
The epidemic prevention supplies sent from the rear are not useless, but the quantity is seriously insufficient. Many soldiers did not receive masks, while some officers took up extra resources, with one person wearing three masks and not feeling it was enough. There have already been violent incidents...
Of course, the medicine sent from the rear proved to be effective - for some soldiers, but the medicine that worked for Soldier A was completely ineffective against Soldier B. The military doctor believed that there were more than ten plagues raging in the barracks at the same time...
Duke Yan and Han Qinhu are trying to find a way to maintain the stability of the army... but Duke Yan himself is coughing badly...
What's most disturbing is that since his own army had the fewest troops, in order to boost morale, Xin Yue suddenly went to the front lines himself during the counterattack. Now he is also stuck there and can't come back...
One piece of bad news after another would be enough to make a normal emperor collapse.
While Lin Hai was frantically issuing one order after another that seemed completely inhumane, he was also trying hard to recall the time he had experienced and think about what else he could do.
For example, just now, he ordered the execution of the head of the textile industrial zone who arbitrarily stopped the production of masks and switched to producing military uniforms and bedding, and the officer who wanted to secretly bring his brother from the front line to the rear... even though the former was his student and the latter was an officer of the Great Liang Empire...
"Report!"
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, Aunt Bao has returned and has something to report!"
