Chapter 5 This is War
"All right......" Professor Ludwig whispered, and took the original notebook back, but took out another one. This small book is solid black www.biquge.info with the coat of arms of the Prussian royal family on it. He patted Lunas lightly on the shoulder: "Congratulations, the youngest pharmacist in the Empire!" β
"Professor, when did you find out?" The corners of Lunas's mouth couldn't help twitching a little, this is clearly ready for a long time, just waiting for me to jump into the pit! Professor Ludwig, what about your rituals? Have you eaten them all? Is it apple-flavored?
"Others may have been fooled by you, but if I can't even see this, then I'll really live at such an age in vain." Saying this, Professor Ludwig knew in his heart that this was the information told to him by the German intelligence services, otherwise he might not have been able to see it. "Also, it's a little gift before parting." As he spoke, he handed Lunas a small, mottled but well-preserved notebook.
"Thank you!" After a few hasty pages, Lunas knew that it was an experimental record of poison gas experiments. Looking at the sky filled with gunsmoke, this is war! This is war!

October 1918, East Prussian border
The situation in Germany is already quite bad, and if the war does not end in a few months, then Germany will have only one way to go: mobilization. On this short five-mile defensive line, the Maxim heavy machine guns poured millions of rounds of ammunition every day, and the roar of 52-millimeter heavy artillery and 75-millimeter rapid-fire guns on the battlefield never stopped, and the poison gas weapons used as special ammunition poured into the positions of the Allied countries like conventional weapons, rigidly delaying the Allied attack. The trenches on both sides have also been transformed from temporary fortifications to concrete bunkers, and the defensive system of anti-tank guns and heavy machine guns has made every step forward extremely costly. The battle was no less tragic than the Battle of Verdun, known as the "meat grinder" two years earlier.
In front of the field hospital
It's not so much a field hospital as a medical tent. Countless wounded people were placed directly on the ground, and the crows kept whirling in mid-air, and the smell of blood filled everywhere, mixed with the stench of rotting wounds. Just gave a wounded man a morphine injection, Lunas wiped the sweat from his head, around he had already been mentally prepared, the cruel reality of war still deeply shocked him, here, some of the wounded who could have taken a little more time to treat had to give up treatment, because priority should be given to rescuing those who can quickly recover their combat effectiveness, and the first thing many wounded asked was not "Doctor, will I die?" Rather, "Doctor, can you give me a shot of morphine?" "Just now the wounded man's stomach was cut open by a shrapnel, the blue intestines flowed out, and more than half of the blood has been lost.
"Dr. Lunas, someone in command wants to see you!"
"Tell them I don't have time!" Lunas couldn't help but have a headache, when is it, what kind of trick will I play with you if a doctor is not here to save people!
"But they have a special pass from the military department." The nurse who came to call Lunas was a little embarrassed. And Lunas is a complete headache, what is going on? Seeing that such a small doctor as myself even used a special pass, this is too much to look up to me.
"Alright! Tell them I'll go. β
In front of the front-line command department, a carriage stopped, and a short figure took a long time to get out of the carriage. Immediately a guard came to lead the way, and when he arrived at the door of the office, the guard knocked on the door, saluted a standard military salute and stood next to the door.
"Come in!" A voice came.
"Lieutenant Lunas Meyer, the accompanying military doctor of the Fifteenth Army of the Imperial German Army, reports to you!"
It was Lunas who had just come to report on the big big office, but this time it wasn't the fat enough chair to sit on the leather-cushioned office chair? The crushed major general, but a tall officer, although he did not wear a military rank, but just chong he was able to make the major general whose nostrils were higher than the sky to stand obediently on the side to know that his identity was definitely not simple.
"Lieutenant Lunas." The officer stood up slowly, nearly 1.85 meters taller than Lunas, and the two were only a few meters apart, and Lunas had to look up at him, which made Lunas quite unhappy. "You don't know who I am, you don't know where I belong to, and you think everyone who knows is dead." The tone is so calm, as if he is saying something completely unrelated to himself.
"You seem to have some questions?"
"Sir, do you say that to everyone you meet?" Lunas was speechless, if it was someone else, Lunas might not really know him, but this person impressed Lunas too deeply - wasn't this the same officer who threw him into the hospital as an apprentice?
"Ugh!" The officer obviously remembered Lunas as well, after all, Lunas had always been considered his subordinate before Lunas was removed, "Forget it, now I can introduce myself, my name is Wayne Fleurd, the rank of colonel, do you have any questions?" β
"Yes, Colonel Wayne. I'm just curious what made you use a special pass to see such a small doctor as me. Lunas said calmly.
A figure next to him, who looked like an adjutant, was obviously annoyed by Lunas's tepid answer, and then grinned his white teeth and giggled: "Boy, do you believe it or not, I can kill you right here?" β
"Personally, I suggest that the field hospital is actually a better choice, as long as the excuse is that I was killed by a stray bullet, anyway, there are many doctors who actually die every day." The expected nervousness or panic did not appear, and the adjutant seemed disappointed, pouted, and according to the meaning of the previous one, let alone really beat him, even if it was a secret execution by the gendarmerie that was waiting for him.
"Alright, Bell, stop joking with newcomers!" Colonel Wayne couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and then sighed, "Lieutenant Lunas, the empire is going to be defeated!" β
