Chapter 2310: War in the Far East

Rebecca used her influence in the health care guild to push the municipal council to pass a "Public Health and Epidemic Prevention Act" drafted by her. This is the first local public health bill issued in the entire New World, which is enough to carry Into the annals of history.
During this period, Rebecca also recruited volunteers through the Medical and Nursing Guild and the Peiro Church and the Dimos Church in various districts of the city to form a volunteer public health team. It plans to respond in batches in the next two weeks. Public facilities in various blocks of the city are disinfected.
Even Rebecca herself did not expect that the event she initiated received exceptionally enthusiastic support. In just three days, the total number of volunteer applicants from the six major dioceses in the city exceeded 5,000!
More than 70% of the volunteers are women, and most of them are religious. There are aristocratic wives from the upper class and small vendors from slums.
Rebecca is divided into twelve groups based on the neighborhood where the volunteers live. They gather one group in turn every day, distribute epidemic prevention equipment, and dress up like a group of beak monsters in white robes. Spray disinfectant on areas prone to germs such as churches and markets.
These days, Conti has become the most important helper around Rebecca, following her busy schedule.
Both of them are magical spellcasters, and coupled with the like-mindedness, the friendship heats up at a speed visible to the naked eye, eating and living together, they are almost sleeping on the same bed.
Qiao An was happy to see them make friends, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Since Conti came to the city and mingled with Rebecca all day long, the better the relationship between the two, the less he would have anything to do... How could it feel like being beaten into the palace?
Having said that, Rebecca did not let off Qiao An's strong labor, and asked him to help develop a medicine with excellent sterilization effect and no harm to biological health.
It's a trivial matter, of course, Dr. Vader cannot be helped.
Qiao An diluted the potion made by "Tears of God" for testing, and found that a bottle of potion mixed with 100 liters of water still had the miraculous effect of completely killing common viruses and bacteria, and recommended this formula to Rebecca.
Qiao An makes 20 mythological potions every day, and Rebecca takes them to mix with water, and directs volunteers to pour the diluted potions into watering cans as a "weapon" to eliminate bacteria and viruses in the city.
Having been busy until mid-February, the volunteer team led by Rebecca finally completed its mission and basically eliminated the rotting fever bacteria in Leiden.
On February 10, according to statistics from the Medical and Nursing Association, there were zero new cases of rot fever infection that day.
This news made the headlines of the evening news, marking the end of the Leiden City epidemic. Leiden City medical workers and volunteers headed by Rebecca together won a brilliant victory in the field of public health, and also for themselves Won widespread praise.
Rebecca and her "good sister" Conti jointly accepted an interview with the Leiden Post. After all, the two little girls are still young and complacent about their overnight fame.
Qiao An laughed secretly when they were very happy but pretending to be reserved, thinking that vanity is not all bad things, such as many unprofitable public welfare undertakings, if it weren't driven by those with strong vanity, I'm afraid It can never be achieved.
From this perspective, it is difficult to draw a clear dividing line between "charity" and "vanity", and in fact it is unnecessary.
The interview report of Rebecca and Conti made it to the front page of the Morning Post as expected, but unfortunately it was not headline news.
What grabbed the limelight of the two little ladies was a big news that truly shocked the world!
On February 12, 1625, the 100,000 army of the Empire entered the Olevi Fortress under the command of General Engel, commander-in-chief of the army.
On the same day, Archbishop Claude, the Prime Minister of the Holy Ashen Empire, announced an edict signed by His Majesty the Emperor, declaring war to the Kingdom of Kolas, which is called the "Far Eastern Rebellion Group" in official documents, and a long-term Eastern campaign was planned The battle begins!
As early as this year’s New Year’s Eve, a murder occurred in Kolasburg and Rudolf I was assassinated. Many observers concerned about the international situation concluded that the imperial authorities were behind the assassination and predicted that the imperial authorities would launch a military campaign against the Far East rebellion government. action.
Qiao An also holds the same point of view, because he had already expected it, and there was no surprise about the news that was disclosed in the newspaper. What embarrassed him now was what position he should choose in this war.
This incident sounds ridiculous at first.
What does the war that broke out in the Far East of the Old World have to do with the residents of the New World separated by the ocean?
Is it your turn for an outsider to stand in line?
However, the situation is far more complicated than the appearance.
To put it simply, since the birth of the "cloud network", the traditional geopolitical concept of the world of Varese has no longer adapted to this rapidly changing new era.
For the general public, the Old World and the New World are separated by vast oceans, and wars in the Far East will not affect their daily lives, at least for now. They are nothing more than after-dinner talks and do not require much attention.
But for the caster class, the "world" in their eyes is completely different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people.
The "cloud network" shortens the distance between the casters and makes them feel a strong sense of each other. Whether the opponent lives in the next block or lives on another continent across the ocean, the cloud network can make them happen directly The connection, to some extent, erases the geographical distance in reality.
In response to the imperial army’s offensive, the Far East Kolass government, under the leadership of Prince Roland, is actively preparing for war and deploying defenses along the fortress on the east bank of the Chuolang River.
Fighting, to put it bluntly, is "money and food." Victory on the battlefield requires strong capital as a backing.
The Far East government urgently needs to raise military spending. Tax collection is important, but it is not enough to levy war tax alone. It needs to raise more military spending from broader channels.
One of the important channels is to issue war bonds on the cloud network to raise funds for all cloud network users, and creatively use "magic slots" as currency instead of gold and silver to trade bonds.
This approach is practical.
Gold and silver coins are just an equivalent. They cannot be used as military rations or weapons. If gold and silver cannot be exchanged for actual materials, they will wait for the same pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.
The spell slot is different.
As long as the caster has sufficient spell slots, everyone is a "perpetual motion machine" and can cast spells at will to provide strong support to their troops.
It was from the beginning of this war that people of insight, including Qiao An, suddenly realized that the heroic epic and romantic knight duels of the old era had fallen out of date, and the war mode of the world of Vares was undergoing a rapid change. The history of human war A new chapter will be opened soon.
