Mechanical Doctor

…

"Mr. Manolin, someone sent you an invitation."

"Okay, leave it there first."

Manolin said as he stuffed his surgical gown into the secret realm to disinfect it with flames.

In the past ten days, Manolin and the medical staff have been working at full capacity, but even such disabled soldiers continue to come to sign up.

The only thing that makes him feel relieved is that the experience points and reputation points have been steadily increasing in the past few days.

"Who gave me the invitation?"

After packing up the surgical gown and the messy little things hanging on his body, Manolin picked up the invitation and muttered to himself.

Recently, he found that he didn't seem to be well received by the top leaders of the Federal Army.

He has been here for more than ten days, and the Navy has invited him to attend the banquet, but there is no movement from the Army.

To be honest, he didn't offend the top leaders of the Army.

Manolin opened the envelope and found that it was a letter from Virgil Twain, the supreme commander of the Army of Remeda City and the Duke of the Elliot Federation.

This is like saying the devil, the devil will come. He just thought about the army, and the army sent an invitation letter.

In fact, he was not particularly surprised that the army came to invite him. After all, as he and the medical staff treated more and more disabled soldiers in the past few days, his reputation was getting higher and higher. It would be strange if the army could still hold back under such circumstances.

However, Manolin still had to go to this banquet, because some of his plans still needed the cooperation of the army's senior leaders to be better implemented.

…

On the second day, the outpost outside the city of Rimoda.

Manolin's convoy stopped in front of the outpost.

"Please stop and check!"

Two army soldiers stopped the vehicle.

"This is my ID and the invitation letter from your commander."

One of the soldiers saw the name on the ID and shouted:

"Manolin? You are Doctor Manolin!"

He immediately saluted Manolin.

"Haha! No need to be polite."

In fact, Manolin was quite pleased with the expression of respect, especially since the soldier directly recognized him as a doctor, which showed that he had a very high reputation in the army of Remeda City.

After chatting with the soldier for a few more words, the convoy successfully passed the sentry post and entered the scope of Remeda City.

Remeda City is the only city in all the cities of the Elliot Federation that still retains the city wall.

However, the so-called city wall that Manolin saw had long been dilapidated, and some places could even allow people to drill through directly.

Manolin was not surprised by the appearance of the city wall. Since the invention of artillery, most of the city walls in this world have lost most of their functions.

And with the development of industrialization, the scale of cities is constantly expanding. These walls that originally protected the city not only lost their protective function, but also affected the development of the city, so most cities simply pushed down the city walls.

As for why the city wall is still preserved in Remeda City?

This is not because Remeda City needs the protection of the city wall. After all, there are a lot of trenches and bunkers inside and outside the city for protection, so there is no need for the city wall at all. It is because Remeda City has no development at all, so there is no need to expand, and naturally there is no need to demolish the city wall.

Cosimo, who was driving the caravan, looked at the barbed wire, chevaux de frise, trenches, bunkers and other things with a strong military style on the roadside and exclaimed:

"This Remeda City is completely a big military camp."

Manolin nodded in agreement.

Under normal circumstances, this city will station about 200,000 army.

In addition to the army, Remeda City also has a naval base.

It can be said that this city is a veritable "military city".

Of course, although Remeda City is a military city, this city is not without business.

Because the treatment of the army is not bad, this has led to the high consumption capacity of the army and navy officers and soldiers in the city.

With the market, it will naturally attract a large number of businessmen.

Although the city of Rimoda is very dangerous and may be attacked by artillery shells from time to time.

But there is no way to make high profits here. As long as the profits are enough, these merchants will not hesitate to sell the ropes to hang themselves.

Here, restaurants, pubs, special service industries... these businesses are quite good.

...

After the convoy traveled for a distance, Manolin and others finally arrived at their destination - a semi-underground bunker.

Since both countries are equipped with long-range steam heavy artillery, the surface buildings of both sides are not very safe, so in the city of Rimoda, the higher the official position, the deeper the place where people live underground, and these army even have to hold banquets in underground bunkers.

"How much do you like to hold banquets? The navy is like this and the army is like this."

ManolinSomewhat speechless.

This attitude of insisting on holding a banquet even in an underground bunker really made Manolin a little confused.

"Is this banquet so important?"

If a person of noble birth heard Manolin's question, then the answer must be so important.

These nobles are not just eating and drinking and having fun at the banquet.

For the nobles, the most important thing about the banquet is its social attribute.

As an "informal" occasion, what the participants say can be true or false, and no one will pursue it anyway, which allows the nobles to boldly test the bottom line of others without taking responsibility.

However, for Manolin, a "country leopard", where can't he talk about things? At most, there are more people at the banquet, and it is more convenient to find people.

When Manolin and the security team members entered the bunker, they passed through a corridor that was diagonally downward, and the scene in front of them was suddenly clear.

It turned out that they entered the venue of the banquet.

Magnificent and extravagant.

These words are Manolin's first impression of the venue.

The gilded walls and ceilings reflected the light into a golden color; the magic ceiling shining with magic patterns was worth a lot of money: the dazzling array of delicacies made Manolin dazzled.

"Is this the treatment that the front line should have?"

"Is this too luxurious?"

Especially when he saw the precious gems on the statues used to decorate the venue, Manolin was even more surprised.

At this time, the host of the banquet came on stage.

"Gentlemen! Ladies! Our most distinguished Duke Virgil is here..."

The host's enthusiastic voice filled the entire venue, trying to mobilize the atmosphere of the entire venue.

At this time, a middle-aged man with thick beard and hair walked in.

This man is Virgil, known as the "Lion of the Federation".

"My goodness, does this nickname of the lion mean that he looks like a lion?"

The first impression Manolin had when he saw this man was the green lion spirit in the TV version of "Journey to the West" in his previous life.

If this man's face was not a normal color instead of green, he would have thought that the green lion spirit had also traveled to this world.
