Chapter 63: Miria City and the Doubts of War
It takes about two days to take the steam train from Lanxi to the surrounding cities and counties of Miria City.
The location where Melia City was built used to be a swampy wetland. The Rodland River and two tributaries passed through this area. There were also two large lakes, First Quarter Moon Lake and Last Quarter Moon Lake, on the north and south sides of the area. This made
The humidity here is very high, making it unfit for human habitation.
The first people to build a city and settle here were some free people from the southern Bodeaux region who followed the land reclamation laws and came here to open up wasteland. They built the first town here, named the town of Bordeaux.
After that, the town of Bordeaux gradually grew, built castles and attached towns, and then became the city of Bordeaux.
For a long time, the city of Bordeaux was the center of this area, until the French royal family began to build their summer palace here and began to develop the land in this area, gradually making the French royal family dominate this area.
By.
After Queen Miria I designated the swamp area in the center of this area as the construction site of Miria City, the development of this area reached a peak, and finally formed the current structure with Miria City as the center.
Thirty-one auxiliary cities and counties guard the surrounding Melia province.
Because of the obstruction of the Bidia Mountains and the sea breeze blowing from the western coastline, the industrial dust from Lanxi cannot be blown to the Miliya region. After the steam train crosses the Bidia Mountains, the surrounding air becomes
It's extremely refreshing, as if it has become another world.
After the steam train entered Milia Province, it no longer stopped at stations in surrounding cities and counties. Milia Province has its own regional railway tracks and city-county steam trains. In terms of comfort, compared with this cross-region
, cross-city trains are many times better and not expensive.
After passing through the Bidia Mountains and driving for about half an hour, with a loud and long whistle, the train officially entered the city of Miria. The surrounding buildings also became diverse, giving people the feeling of
It's like entering a foreign country.
Here you can see the large dome built by the desert people of the desert kingdom Savil for the Lord of the Creation and Death of All Things they believe in, and you can also see the megalithic palace built by the people of the Kingdom of Maris for their hill king, and even
The Sky Tower built by the Americans for their Sky Lord.
In addition to these magnificent religious buildings, there are also characteristic buildings of each country's own ethnic group, such as sand brick houses, tree houses in the forest, boat houses on the river, hillside terraced houses, and other residential areas with obvious exotic styles.
After seeing enough of these exotic buildings, the steam train began to drive into the terminal of Milia City, and this terminal was called the gem of Milia because the entire station was built with a steel frame combined with special glass.
It was completed and 39,743 specially made crystal oil lamps were installed.
During the day, if you are shocked by the gorgeous construction craftsmanship of this station during the day, then at night, when all the crystal oil lamps are lit, Miria's gems will shine with dazzling light.
Let the whole city be fascinated by it.
However, some people like this gorgeous building, while others are disgusted by it, such as Leo.
Leo, who got off the train, hated the feeling of a large amount of light shining on him, because this scene reminded him of the troop transport ship docks he went to every time he went to the battlefield. Those aviation docks were all-glass structures like this.
.
"This building is great, isn't it?" Nelson, leaning on a cane and with the support of Catherine, raised his head and looked at the all-glass building with great excitement, regardless of the dazzling sunlight, and said, "I was there at the time.
When I was studying in medical school, I saw this great building on the title page of Bernard's Train Time Travel Guide, but the Miria Gem painted by the artist was obviously much worse than the real Miria Gem...
…”
"Doctor, you just want to live here like the beggar over there, I don't have any objection, but before that, let's talk business!" Just as Nelson was chattering to Catherine about his love for this station and his
When they understood, Leo interrupted him inappropriately and said: "Should we go to the embassy of the Kingdom of England first, or should we go to the headquarters of the medical school here?"
Before Nelson could answer, Catherine spoke first and said: "I think we should first understand the situation here and not go to the official office rashly. And if there is no person with a certain identity to lead us, I'm afraid it will be us."
No one will pay attention to it, so I think we should go to the address that Teacher Pierre gave you first, and have a place to stay before talking about other things. And I believe that the address that Teacher Pierre gave you was not written casually.
, since he knows what you are going to do here, and with how much he hates imine gas, he will definitely introduce you to people who can help you."
Hearing Catherine's methodical analysis, Leo and others were a little surprised. Later, they felt that Catherine's analysis was very good, so they decided to follow Catherine's suggestion and go to the address given to Nelson by Pierre, the herbal master in Rabbit Skin Town.
Nelson took out the address and looked at it, and saw that it simply said No. 377, Red House Street.
"Which of you knows where Red House Street is?" Leo looked at everyone and asked.
Nelson shook his head and said: "Don't look at me, this is my first time coming to Miria City."
"Me too." Catherine also smiled bitterly.
As for Jason, no one thought that he knew the answer, but what was surprising was that Jason nodded and said, "I know."
"You know?" Leo and the other three looked at Jason in surprise.
Jason shrugged and said, "Didn't I say that I lived in Miria City when I was a child? I lived on Red House Street."
"Have you lived in Miria City?" Nelson was extremely surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Jason looked at Nelson with an unhappy face and said: "My father worked in Miria City for several years, and I was born in Miria City. Now I still have the status of a Miria resident. Is this
Is it weird?"
"It's indeed a bit strange." Although he felt it was impolite to say so, Nelson couldn't help but say it.
Jason curled his lips when he heard this and glared at Nelson.
Leo looked at the platform where passengers were gradually dwindling around him, and walked towards the outside of the platform while saying: "Since you know how to go to Red House Street, then you can lead the way!"
"But I don't know how to get there?" Jason followed quickly and said hurriedly.
"Don't you know where Red House Street is?" Leo was stunned and said.
Jason quickly replied: "Yes! I know where Red House Street is. Red House Street is next to Candy Street, and I remember there is a big amusement park next to it."
Leo stopped and asked, "How old were you and your father when you left Miria City?"
"I think I'm a little over four years old." Jason thought about it carefully and said, "I still remember that on my birthday, my dad took me to the amusement park nearby for a whole day."
Leo looked at Jason and sighed speechlessly. Without saying anything else, he continued to lead everyone out of the gorgeous Miria Center Station.
After walking out of the central station, there is a huge intercity square. In the center of the square is a statue of Miria I.
It's just that the artist who made this sculpture is obviously an abstract artist. Apart from the vaguely identifiable human shape, there is no way to see any connection between this stone and Miria I.
The square is very clean, and there are not many vendors. However, there are many policemen wearing red round helmets patrolling around the square. People like Leo and others who carry weapons are the focus of attention, which makes Leo and the others just
As soon as they walked out of the platform, at least three eyes fell on them.
There are various carriages parked in the square. Judging from the behavior of the passengers who have left the central station and choose a carriage to board at will, these carriages should be similar to taxis.
Leo also led everyone to a carriage. Without saying anything, he opened the door directly and let Nelson and the others sit in. Then like a seasoned passenger, he said to the coachman: "Go to Red House Street."
Apparently the carriage driver also mistakenly thought that Leo was a regular customer, and did not say anything about the price. After Leo got on the carriage, he raised the reins and drove the carriage skillfully through the traffic, heading northwest.
.
Leo, who was sitting in the car, found several newspapers and a map of Milia City from a cloth bag on the door.
The content in this map is not detailed. It is only a schematic diagram of the directions of each city district and block. It does not clearly indicate the details of the streets in each city district and block. You only need to look at it briefly to memorize all the content.
.
Those newspapers that were two days out of date should have been left here by a certain passenger while traveling. The contents of the newspapers were outdated for most people, but for Leo, they were still of some use.
The newspaper mentioned that the Continental Congress had begun to mediate the war between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France, but the ambassadors from both sides did not respond. The parliamentary lobby group had gone to the capital of the French Empire, Winter City, and the capital of the Kingdom of England respectively.
Belem.
Behind this news, there are dozens of comments from scholars, politicians and journalists. Most people are not optimistic about this mediation. But one thing is very strange, that is, no one knows why the Kingdom of England
Suddenly launched a war against the French Empire. This war happened inexplicably, extremely suddenly, and without any reason.
However, the comments on this news reminded Leo of the death of the French Emperor mentioned by Martin. If the Kingdom of England knew in advance that the French Emperor was going to die, and he did not establish a crown prince, then this time
The reason for taking the initiative to start a war makes sense.
I don't know why when thinking about this matter, Leo couldn't help but think of what Baron Maupassant said two days ago. One sentence was that it was easy to send him back to the battlefield, and the second sentence was very certain.
They can cooperate.
Baron Maupassant's display of such confidence was obviously not without purpose, which meant that he had a certain degree of influence in the Kingdom of England, and the two were even undisclosed collaborators.
From this point of view, the Kingdom of England may have intervened in the French Empire's struggle for the throne before the war began, and the person behind Baron Maupassant may be the person secretly supported by the Kingdom of England.
"Analyzing probability percentages."
After Leo made his judgment, he immediately gave an order to the auxiliary brain system, and soon the auxiliary brain system responded. Based on the analysis and judgment of the current data, there is a 97% chance that his guess is correct.
Seeing the results of this analysis, Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't expect that things would come back to him in the end.
"What's wrong?" Nelson saw something wrong with Leo's expression, so he asked.
Leo didn't speak, just handed him the newspaper, then turned to look out the window, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter for them.
Although it seemed that they were involved in a large whirlpool and could be annihilated at any time, if you think about it carefully, they were actually just wandering around the edge of this large whirlpool and did not really fall into it, even if someone noticed them.
, and they may not necessarily care about pawns like them.
On the contrary, if the Kingdom of England really intervenes in the struggle for the throne of the French Empire, then their pawns who can provide ammunition will become very important. If nothing else, they will at least be well protected until things happen.
got a result.
The only thing they need to pay attention to is not to be sold out as a bargaining chip, and to achieve this, they need to increase their weight.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but turn his head and look at Nelson.
If one had to be chosen as a representative from Leo and the others, Nelson was obviously the only suitable candidate.
Not to mention the identity of the tutor of Nelson Velen Medical College, the fact that he is a member of the White Rose Family of the Kingdom of England is already very important. Even if he is the least valued member, it may be enough to cause the Parliament of the Kingdom of England to
Pay attention to.
What needs to be done now is to enhance Nelson's international reputation as quickly as possible, increase his own weight, and give his words more weight.
Leo thought for a while and suddenly asked Nelson: "Doctor, didn't you say before that the needles and threads I used to sew the wounds on the battlefield were very important in accelerating wound healing?"
"It is indeed very important." Nelson nodded, and seeing Catherine's confused look, he immediately explained it to her.
"There is such a technology!" Catherine also showed a look of surprise, and after pondering for a moment, she said with certainty: "If this technology is published in the form of a paper, at least it will get a gold medal at a medical conference.
Medal, eligible to compete for next year's Tovey Medical Award."
"What if we add some similar auxiliary treatment techniques?" Leo said several more treatment techniques that are often used on the battlefield.
After hearing the technology Leo mentioned, both Nelson and Catherine showed shocked expressions. Based on their medical knowledge, it is not difficult to guess that if these technologies were made public, the proportion of casualties in the war and the post-war disability rate would be
The proportion will be greatly reduced, and any technology will definitely be valued by governments of all countries.
