Chapter 63, Tutu Corpse Picking Team
——After entering the Internet era, the entire world in general is becoming more and more noisy. No matter what kind of public activities are held, ranging from national Olympic bids to market surveys, they often require publicity and sponsorship. Even war is no exception.
For example, on the battlefield in Ukraine, before receiving funding from Moscow, the rebels in the two eastern states of Ukraine initially relied on broadcasting various battlefield propaganda videos on the Internet and used donations raised from Russian private citizens to fight the war. On the Syrian battlefield, where there are many forces and unprecedented chaos, there are not only soldiers from both sides of the street fighting, but also lying in ruins bunkers a few hundred meters apart, holding smartphones and exchanging words in the same chat group. There is also a "little Arab girl" who claims to be only seven years old and has never left Syria but is extremely proficient in English. It is said that she lives in a ruined city that has been fighting street battles for more than four years and has been without water, electricity and Internet for a long time. She tweets every day to European and American netizens posted pictures of battlefields and sold them to ask for donations.
In the same way, for this dog-torture and crushing war that is about to break out in another world, Mayor Comrade Wang Meiling has already helped Wang Qiu get a large number of sponsors before the battle begins. Those TV stations and online media that are willing to sponsor most hope to provide first-hand information and live video footage, as well as quotas to serve as war reporters. But there are also some sponsors who have special requirements...
"...This...the reason why these medical schools, museums and research institutes on the list have given us so much sponsorship..."
Wang Qiu asked blankly, "...and sent a field volunteer medical team here just to let us help pick up the corpses?"
"...Almost. So, the large cold storage for storing corpses and the refrigerated trucks for transporting corpses must be prepared now..."
Of course, the sponsor's request for the urban management team to pick up corpses is not for organ transplantation - organ transplantation is definitely not about just finding a fresh corpse, removing the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, and then immediately installing it on the patient. . If that were the case, those heartless field doctors would have made a fortune from corpses. In fact, before organ transplantation, the organ donor must undergo a series of tedious medical examinations while still alive. At the very least, basic examination items such as blood routine, liver function, five hepatitis B tests, and color ultrasound must be qualified. And it must be matched with patients who need transplantation. Otherwise, it may lead to severe rejection after the transplant operation, which would be worse than no transplant at all.
But this does not mean that ordinary corpses are really just a pile of useless meat. Although it is indeed difficult to provide organs, they can also be sent to major medical schools for dissection and practice for students - - Just like an excellent pilot needs to be burned out with hundreds of tons of gasoline, and a perfect marksman needs to be fed with boxes of bullets, a truly brilliant surgeon can only be created by using a lot of corpses that he has practiced on.
According to the general traditional view, it is difficult for ordinary medical students to master the proficiency of surgical operations just by watching videos and listening to lectures. After all, they need to practice operating on the human body again and again before they can practice the feel. Otherwise, if a rookie doctor who has never performed an operation on a corpse is allowed to go directly into the hospital and cut on the patient... then he is simply making fun of the hospital's reputation and the patient's life at the same time.
Therefore, there is an unwritten unwritten rule in the Chinese medical community. If a medical school can dissect at least fifteen to twenty-five cadavers every year (the standards of each province in the country are slightly different), then it can barely be regarded as a first-class medical school. . If the number of cadavers dissected every year does not meet this minimum standard, it will be regarded as a second- or even third-rate pheasant college, and the surgeons it teaches will also be regarded as Mongolian doctors-so, in order to improve their teaching level , to avoid misleading students, every medical school in the country is extremely thirsty for corpses and is willing to pay very high wages for it, often even going through various gray paths so that students and professors can get enough opportunities to practice. After the corpse is dissected and the teaching video is taken, part of the skin, muscles and organs will be soaked in formalin to make specimens for daily teaching use.
Especially in order to show their heritage and popularity, many medical schools are eager to hang a skeleton in the corner of every classroom, so that they can appear to have superb medical skills, high-end atmosphere, and class, making people feel awe at the sight of it. Respect.
However, it is deeply melancholy that there is such a huge demand for corpses in medical schools, but there are never enough people willing to donate their bodies. And if you want to import corpses from war areas to use as teaching equipment, the risk is too high and the cost is unbearable - the corpses must be loaded into refrigerated trucks on the battlefield, then transferred to refrigerated ships, and finally transported thousands of miles back, otherwise they will be lost along the way. It was already rotten. In addition, it will cause a lot of trouble.
But in a fantasy world with frequent wars, it is too easy to collect some fresh corpses. It is even possible to collect the corpses and living bodies of dwarves, pig-headed men, werewolves, tiger-men, and lizard-men - think about it, when When entertaining exchange groups from other schools, our school can proudly take out a specimen of an orc corpse. This is something worth showing off!
In the same way, those natural museums and research institutes have also coveted these rare exhibits from other worlds for a long time. While generously providing large sums of sponsorship, they also placed a long stack of orders - those that were shipped back before. Specialty animals from other worlds, such as pink piglets with wings, chocobos that can carry people, etc., have instantly surpassed the traditional cuteness of the panda, and have become global celebrities with extraordinary ability to attract money. A cornucopia of strength. Shenzhen and Guangzhou zoos, which have the honor to exhibit these exotic animals, are full of visitors every day these days, and it is difficult to get a ticket.
In addition, if you want to become an excellent surgeon, it is not enough to hone your medical skills only on dissected corpses. You also need to use living people to practice your skills. So this time, the country notified many medical schools in Hong Kong and Guangdong in advance. Just waiting for the war to start in the other world, they organized students to serve as volunteers and come to the newly built Arnus City to pick up injured imperial prisoners. Practice the skills they have learned - anyway, the other party is both a foreigner and a prisoner, with no human rights at all. No matter how many medical accidents occur, it does not matter, they can practice the operation boldly and safely...

"...Well...wouldn't it be a little bad to let veterinary students also come to treat prisoners of war?" Wang Qiu asked hesitantly.
"...Hey, how can you care about so much during the war? And if you want to treat orcs, you have to find a veterinarian to treat the disease! I remember last time, there was an unlucky winged man who lost feathers on his wings, and the dermatology department The doctor was completely helpless and could only watch as her back turned into a pair of white chopped chicken wings. Also, when the pregnant rabbits were delivered, didn’t they also use obstetricians and gynecologists and veterinarians together?”
Wang Meiling waved her hand disapprovingly, "...By the way, we arranged for the headhunting rabbits to also serve as the corpse collection team. How is it going now?"
"...Instructions on collecting intact corpses after the war have been conveyed to all officers and soldiers of the entire urban management brigade. And the relevant training subjects, how to clean up the corpses and refrigerated transportation, are currently in progress. But the bunny girls look at me The look in his eyes seems a little strange!”
Wang Qiu curled his lips and said gloomily, "...Maybe he misunderstood me as a necromancer who likes to play with dead people's bones..."
"...If you misunderstand, just misunderstand! My son! How can there be no exchanges between two different civilizations without some harmless misunderstandings?"
Wang Meiling sighed, "...During the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty people thought that Westerners would not bend their knees!"
"...Playing with bones is also called harmless?! Well, if you think about it carefully, I think I have done something scarier than playing with bones a few times..."
However, what makes people feel even more regretful and depressing is that although Wang Qiu, the urban management team leader, despite the various demands of the sponsors and the weird looks of the bunny girls, organized them to conduct several corpse picking exercises, and with the help of a large sum of money Sponsored funds were used to purchase advanced equipment, and soon the whole army was Motorization allowed all 3,000 people to ride on off-road vehicles, use reconnaissance drones, and conduct several long-distance training and actual combat exercises in the field... However, Emperor Soshar's army has not seen any movement. After waiting for more than two months, there was no sign of crossing the Romanian mountains.
Because, under ancient communication and transportation conditions, the pace of a large-scale battle was so slow and protracted.
——If modern military operations are planned in terms of "days" and modern military operations are planned in "hours" (refer to several Middle East wars), then ancient military operations are often planned in terms of "weeks" Even "month" is used as a unit of time.
There was no way, without telegraphs, telephones, railways, trucks, and without a general staff to draw up a mobilization plan in advance, it would take a lot of money to convey orders, assign tasks, assemble troops, recruit civilians, and prepare food and fodder. A lot of time - every military order document can only be carried and conveyed by messengers on horseback. Every bag of grain and horse feed had to be carried slowly by carts and porters. Every unit scheduled to go on an expedition has to rely on the soldiers' feet to slowly walk to the assembly point... The larger the vast empire, the more miserable the mobilization speed is.
And if unfortunately we encounter a muddy rainy season or a howling snowstorm, all preparations for war will be paralyzed by the power of nature. Even if you take the sea route, the route of any sailboat is also subject to ocean currents and monsoons, and you cannot sail at will at any time.
For example, after the First Opium War started, Emperor Daoguang ordered troops to be mobilized from the northwest and Yunnan and Guizhou to rush to the southeast coastal front. As a result, until the end of the war, a considerable part of the inland reinforcements were still on the way and did not have time to reach the battlefield. .
Then, during the Warring States Period in Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi assembled an army of 220,000 to attack the Kanto overlord, the Hojo family. However, from the time Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the declaration of war, the first Toyotomi army entered the territory of the Hojo family. , it also took a full three months - and this was considering that Japan is a small country with a relatively dense population, and it only takes a month for ordinary people to walk from the westernmost point of Japan to the easternmost point.
In China at about the same period, before the first major battle of the Ming and Qing wars, the Battle of Saarhu, which made the Eight Banners soldiers "invincible", the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty spent half a year to recruit troops from all over the country. After cobbling together, 110,000 troops were deployed on the Liaodong battlefield.
In the original work of "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", when the "Gate" was captured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, the imperial government and opposition parties who refused to admit defeat ordered the recruitment of troops from various satellite countries and planned a counterattack on the Arnus Hills for the first time. It took the Imperial Senate three to four months to assemble 100,000 troops from the twenty-one subject countries in the outer positions of Arnus Hill. This is consistent with the records of ancient wars on earth. Compared to this, this is already an astonishingly high efficiency - you know, the territory of the empire is dozens of times that of Japan, but the population density is much lower!
It is conceivable that if the current Emperor Soshar wants to send out a large army to attack people from other worlds, it will also take a long time to prepare.
What's more, his rear is not stable at the moment, and it can even be said that there is no stable rear at all - from the moment he raised the flag of rebellion to the present, Emperor Soshar's army has been engaged in rogue warfare, and its logistical supplies basically rely on robbery. Looting the people and funding from foreign vassal kings, they had no reliable base of their own. It was not until Diabo and the Senate were defeated that Emperor Saushar began to entrust his subordinates and gradually relied on force to take over local power.
However, just like the slow progress of organizing a battle, it is not that fast to replace all the lords of a large area with your own people.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Therefore, although after reading the reply from the outsiders, Emperor Soshar was immediately furious. He first executed the envoy who failed to persuade him to surrender, and then issued an imperial edict, intending to attack the outsiders with all his troops. However, the troops under his command are currently scattered everywhere, looting houses, or being led by generals to use force to take over their new territories that have just been entrusted by the emperor - because just an imperial edict is useless, the original must be removed first Only by killing or driving away the lord can his reward be fulfilled. Therefore, he could not even think about helping the emperor to conquer the aliens for a while.
In view of this, Emperor Saushar, who was still a little unsteady for the time being, had no choice but to give up the idea of sending troops to Arnus Hill immediately to teach those outsiders a lesson, and instead continued to concentrate on purging political opponents and plundering their property. Territory and property. At the same time, Emperor Soshar sent envoys in all directions, ordering vassal states across the continent to send envoys to pay homage and pay tribute to establish his status as the overlord of the continent.
On the other hand, although Emperor Sochar was forced by the situation, he could only stand still and clean up the rear for the time being, and had not yet advanced to Arnus Hill or the city of Italica. However, their territories and properties were confiscated by the emperor, and they were even put on the execution list. They were forced to flee in embarrassment. The exiled nobles who crossed the Romanian mountains and headed westward, as well as the ordinary refugees who were displaced in the war, suddenly found themselves in the territory of the Earl of Formar. It’s an endless stream.
Among them, most of the exiled nobles with some status, after successfully crossing the Romanian mountains, continued to flee along the Tissaria Avenue or the Appian Avenue to the west of the Falmat continent, preparing to join the imperial territory. Various independent city-states and small kingdoms are hiding outside. But there are also some exiled nobles and defeated generals who don't know what they think. They actually groped their way to Arnus Hill where the "Gate" is located, hoping to meet Princess Pinna who is a "guest" here. At the same time, they also brought Received precise information about Emperor Sochar's various perverse actions...
