"In addition to civilian hospitals, I will also establish a specialized medical team in the military to provide timely treatment to the wounded on the battlefield."
Paul remembered the tragic scene he saw in the Butuya prisoner of war camp last time, and when he was in a coma, Father Anderson actually wanted to bleed him. It was time to reform the world's backward medical system.
"This is a good idea. After coming to the northwest, I have never seen a place dedicated to medical affairs."
Laddie and Irene both nodded in agreement.
"Then, I have troubled you both with some of the things I just mentioned. If there is nothing else, please go back and sort out today's content."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two Female Advisor stood up and left.
After Paul watched the two people leave, he ordered Chief Secretary: "Please come over, Supervisor Cecil, Rhodes Chief of Staff, and the two Battalion Commander who stayed at Lakeheart Town."
Berna left in response, and he picked up the two documents that he had not shown to Female Advisor just now.
Paul read it carefully again, and the content above made him frown.
"Can it greatly enhance a person's strength and speed, and even turn him into a monster?"
He muttered to himself, the effect was even more exaggerated than stimulants. How could that kind of drug be produced in this technologically backward world? Soon, Intelligence Director and the top military officials came to Paul's office, and everyone discussed in detail the intelligence sent by the navy.
The Navy's report mentioned a mysterious figure named "Barnett". The prisoners confessed that the drugs Gaden obtained seemed to be provided by this person, and Gaden obeyed this person's instructions.
But the prisoners didn't know the further news. The only pirate leader who might know the details of Barnett, Gaden, had already fed the fishes.
Paul is quite depressed. Who is this person named Barnett? It is already known to everyone in Northwest Bay that he spares no effort to fight against pirates. This person is still helping pirates in this situation. It is obvious that he does not take him seriously.
Are they the surrounding lords who are unhappy with him? It is quite possible, such as Kent Family who threatened him with force some time ago.
He ordered Cecil with a look of displeasure on his face, "At all costs and means, we must find out this person's identity."
As for that mysterious drug, the navy seized some of it in the pirate stronghold, and he decided to hand it over to Alchemist, who was recruited from Royal Capital, for detailed study.
What made him happy was that the "Hope" lived up to his expectations in this battle. It not only sank one enemy ship and pinned down three others in the naval battle, but also single-handedly captured the pirates' secret stronghold.
The navy's original plan was to send ships to guard the stronghold in shifts, but when the second shift of ships arrived, the officers and soldiers on the Hope had already searched the pirates' stronghold.
Paul asked everyone, "What do you think of the preliminary talent training plan proposed by Captain Quirk?"
Among the slaves rescued this time, many were boys who had not yet grown up. Some of their families had been killed by pirates and they could be said to be homeless.
The captain of the Hope, Quirk, made a suggestion: The military should take in these children, let them live on the warship with the officers and soldiers, teach them various navigation knowledge and military rules, and train them as reserve talents for the navy.
Bryce shook his head. "Don't pirates just like to capture some underage children to supplement themselves? Does he want to bring the same practices he used when he was a pirate into the army?"
Paul said, "I quite agree with this suggestion."
When the empire on earth was conquering the world, their navy had a special system - Officer Candidate.
This talent training system was created by King Charles II of England. All aristocratic children who want to serve in the navy must start as naval interns. This greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the navy and cultivates a large number of outstanding officers for the navy.
Officer Candidate ranks are relatively vague. Most of them are underage teenagers who actually learn navigation and combat on warships. These teenagers are usually bastards from middle-class families. They join the ship as an officer's handyman when they are about 13 years old. After two years of sailing life, they can become cadets through an introducer at the age of 15, and they can take the lieutenant officer examination when they are 20 years old.
In the history of the British Navy, many generals joined the navy as teenagers. Jellicoe joined the navy at the age of 13, Cunningham joined the navy at the age of 10, Fisher joined the navy at the age of 13, and Betty joined the navy at the age of 13.
The legendary general Nelson, who won the Battle of Trafalgar and saved the British from Napoleon I, joined the navy when he was only 12 years old.
These midshipmen learn from practical work, working side by side with chiefs, petty officers, and sailors, climbing up and down the mast, sweating profusely in the bilge, and better able to understand the thoughts of the lower-level sailors. When they become lieutenants, captains, or even generals in the future, this experience will be of great help to their leadership.
Britain's maritime hegemony has been able to last for nearly 400 years, and the navy's Officer Candidate system is indispensable.
Speaking of Officer Candidate, Paul reminds me of a movie - "The Great Sea", which tells the story of the British Navy's Sailing Warship "Surprise" fighting wits and courage with French warships on the ocean during the Napoleon war. It is known as "a real man's movie". There is a young shota called "Lord Blakeney", who is Officer Candidate on the ship. This character left a deep impression on him.
Schroeder also said, "I also agree with this suggestion. According to my observation, work on warships has high technical requirements, and we currently do not have enough equipment and personnel to train new personnel. It is better to let these children learn directly on the ship. Their learning ability and understanding are always relatively high."
Paul clapped his hands. "Then it's settled."
On Franklin Harbor's Central Plaza, Government Affairs Hall specially sent personnel to publicize the news of the extermination of Gaden's gang.
Although under the protection of the navy, the coast of Arda has rarely been invaded by pirates, but news of several neighboring territories being plundered by pirates will still come from time to time. The most popular one is this Gaden Pirate Crew, and people celebrate that there is one less disaster star on the sea.
In the midst of the celebration, a man wrapped in a black cloak was incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere.
Barnett pulled his hood to cover his face. He snorted and said to himself in an inaudible voice, "Paul Greiman? I want to see what you are capable of."
There was a lot of disdain in his tone.
It is planned for the protagonist to have a head-on confrontation with the mysterious forces.
