78 The mountain rain is coming
Yelena stayed in Shanghai for half a day, which was already seven days later than the expected trip, before she arrived in Shanghai, she reported to the leaders that she was going to Shanghai to buy foreign medicines, of course, including penicillin, which is now more expensive than gold, of course, this is the price of the black market, in the market, and only foreign hospitals can sell, and it is used in this hospital, if it is sold in large quantities, it is absolutely impossible, the concession authorities are very cautious, deeply afraid of getting involved in the war, annoying the Japanese, and harming the interests of their own merchants in the concession.

However, Yelena reported to her superiors that she bought medicines, but she was an authentic businessman, how could she spend so much money on medicines under such circumstances! When she came back from the United States, she had already stored a lot of penicillin in the space, and even the newly developed streptomycin and gentamicin, which had not yet applied for a patent, but the first batch had been produced at Yelena's request, Yelena provided the most economical formula and manufacturing method, and Victor could get more than 100 times the profit even if it was put on the domestic market. If it is exported, it will be doubled by a hundredfold. It's just that penicillin is so popular now that Victor's reputation has skyrocketed, and if another antibiotic is announced in a short time, it will definitely make people suspicious. All of this may not be announced until next year. However, the streptomycin and gentamicin produced during this period will be smuggled to China.
This time, what was taken from Shanghai was a batch of drugs in the space, which would be shipped directly from the United States to Guangzhou, and then Yelena would pick up the goods, and at that time, Yelena would take the opportunity to exchange the original goods inside for medicines.
With Fu Yi together, the group went directly to Wuhan, which was the largest transfer station at this time. The journey was not very smooth, but fortunately they did not carry the goods with them, so the people who were staring at them had no choice.
The auction items left for Li Baohua are fully prepared, the price is even higher than last time, and the funds obtained will be directly deposited into Citibank and Swiss Bank in the United States, which is stipulated by Yelena, she does not want the US government to find out the whereabouts of her funds, let alone be known by the Soviet Union. This will be used to buy weapons, military supplies, food, clothing, and so on. In addition, a special amount of money will be set aside to train special combat teams, one Soviet and one Chinese, which will be equipped with the most advanced individual equipment provided by Yelena, including body armor and wireless communication equipment, electronic equipment, armor and air support. Their base is set up in the Gobi Desert, and although this will make logistical support very difficult and the conditions are very difficult, it seems that only there is not easy to be discovered by all parties. In addition, these team members will also go to the jungle and snowy plateau for training in the future, and the physical fitness of the team members is high, and the academic qualifications of the team members also have extremely high requirements. For the time being, the number of personnel is set at 200 people per team, and the medical team is also a key training object, and if there is a chance that they will also participate in actual combat, if it is winter training, they will go to Norway and other places, which is agreed in advance, Yelena will give many benefits to the government there.
When she arrived in Wuhan, Yelena first met the Soviet leader sent here, Sulikov, who was a small old man, and the amount of hair was very worrying, he said to Yelena very seriously, "You first take back the medicine in Guangzhou, you have to understand that these medicines are not only aided by the Soviet Union, but also the medicines of the Salvation Association and the Red Cross, which must be handed over to their government, that is, the Central Army, and when you go, you will be escorted by their people." In addition, the Chinese around you will also be transferred, this is already a large rear, there will not be much danger, not to mention that there are more than twenty soldiers going with you, and you don't have to worry about your safety at all. You are limited to 10 days to return to Wuhan, otherwise you will be severely punished, do you understand?"
Yelena felt incredulous, but she still didn't refute, but replied honestly, "Yes, let's do what you tell us." ”
"I warn you, Comrade Yelena Terekina, don't play tricks, we already know about you. ”
Yelena raised her head, as if she understood something, and then said, "Now that you know about me, and I have promised to return in ten days, do you have anything else? Do you want to send someone to watch me? or do you want to put on shackles?"
Poof!"What kind of attitude do you have? Surikov immediately slapped the table,
Yelena took two steps forward, less than a foot away from him, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and said, "Unless you shoot me when I come back, I can guarantee that neither you nor your family will have a good life." I'll find a way to send them to Siberia or ...... Go straight to the labor camp. ”
"Don't be too arrogant, your problems are already known, and it's not certain who will go to Siberia!"
"It's nothing for me to go to Siberia, but if you throw dirty water on me and convict me of a crime, then you'd better be strong enough not to be afraid of death. If that's not as good as mine, then you should know how to talk to me. You know, I didn't give in to the torture of the Japanese, so what can you do? Before I die, I must have enough people to accompany the funeral, you, your family, your boss, and the person who complained, you can't run. If you don't believe in my abilities, then you'd better listen to what others have to say in these ten days?" Yelena finished and left.
Leaving Surikov's office, Yelena's heart sank, what she was afraid of finally came, she returned to the hotel, first asked Xie Doll and them to return to the National Salvation Association, and then closed the door herself, entered the space, and asked her brother and the spies in Leningrad about the situation, she was very worried about her mother's safety. In addition, a telegram was sent to his own people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow, asking them about the specific situation.
It must not be a good thing to be ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yelena knows very well in her heart, and now she only hopes that no one will be implicated because of herself. Xie Doll didn't understand what was going on, but Yelena asked them to take care of Fu Yi, and they didn't think about anything else. However, this time when I went to Guangzhou to pick up the goods, I am afraid that it will not be easy for me to do my own tricks! Moreover, it will be even more difficult to get the medicines and weapons in northern Shaanxi. But Yelena would not give up, she still secretly used the radio to contact the people over there, and said that this side would directly follow her to accept the things, hoping that they could have a way to deal with it, and reminded them in the telegram not to contact the government, or protest or anything, and the Soviet Union did not need to say, because the Soviet Union was to provide assistance to the regime of a country, not inter-party help, once a protest or something, Yelena was immediately exposed.
This is the first time that Yelena has directly used her code name 'Lilac' to directly contact the headquarters in Yan'an, which shows the urgency of the situation. Yelena's telegram directly exposed her identity, and she was not afraid that there was a mole in the communication in Yan'an, and now there is not so much time to think about anything else, Yelena's desperate and risky behavior also made several leaders in Yan'an very moved, because from beginning to end, 'Lilac' has not only been assisting the anti-coalition forces in the far northeast, but also selflessly and unconditionally aiding them without any identity and position. This time it was a bit of a surprise, and even if the situation was urgent, there was no need to take such a risk. Several leaders are not ordinary people, they have long known who 'Lilac' is, and in this case, they suspect that this is Yelena's last aid, and the biggest possibility is that she herself is already in danger. This makes them very anxious, Yelena's aid and help for them is very great, once lost, they will be very passive, very embarrassed, the direct problem is that without Yelena's continuous supply of medicines, their casualty rate will be greatly increased, and the arsenal in the mountains will lose the source of raw materials, and from the humanitarian aspect, a friend who selflessly helps them is in danger, and they can't sit idly by anyway.
Set off three days later, Yelena began to find someone to make medicine on the same day, first put on makeup to the place where the poor gathered, and found a few reliable people there, they all had family and friends, gathered in one place, at this time Wuhan not only had victims from the war zone, but also relocated factories, enterprises and government agencies, plus hospitals, Orphanages and other relief institutions have made the whole city very complicated and chaotic, Yelena looked for someone this time, and did not pass through anyone, but used the disguise pill in the space, changed into ordinary clothes, and looked for those with many relatives and friends. Through them, she searched for reliable butchers and leather craftsmen, and finally contacted a slaughterhouse, Yelena hired a total of ten master masters to make hides, and twenty masters to take snake venom, peel skins, and make medicines, and they were responsible for peeling and making skins. The other fifty people helped, and Yelena provided them with extremely generous wages, each of them a hundred oceans, a hundred catties of rice and fifty catties of meat, and they could choose beef or mutton. In addition, they will be given a daily medicine.
That night, they came to the slaughterhouse, and at this time, according to Yelena's request, all the people were emptied, and ten people were placed around as sentry, and they still had the guns that Yelena had given them. When they arrived at the slaughterhouse, they were still amazed, because in front of them were 80 tigers, 98 cheetahs, 118 bears, 220 antelopes, 360 cattle, 466 deer, 40 wild boars, 400 domestic pigs, and all kinds of snakes, hedgehogs, pangolins, pheasants, and more than they could count. You can only complete the work in three days, and you have to work overtime.
These animals are old enough, especially cattle, including buffalo, cattle, deer, musk deer, red deer, sika deer, etc., Yelena has been with them in the past few days, first, she has to be responsible for getting musk, bezoar, antelope horn and other medicinal materials, but also to prevent anyone from being in danger. They are also provided with meals. Prevent someone from running out and leaking secrets.
The fur obtained this time plus some accumulated in the space have been processed, but the cowhide, deerskin and wild boar skin have no intention of making consumer goods, because these cattle are very old, and the cowhide is thick and hard, and the quality of the cowhide with only two layers is excellent. Yelena found another person to process these cowhides and make a vest, which was made of cowhide on the outside, with a special and extremely flexible fiber layer on the inside, and finally a layer of fabric to prevent wear and tear was added to it. Such body armor can do a lot. Don't underestimate this cowhide body armor, it really works. In addition, their protection from the cold is also very good. The people who came to make these vests were the families of the workers, and some of the deerskins they got were kept temporarily. Yelena saw that these women made waistcoats very quickly and well, so she got a lot of rabbits and sheep from the space, and let them slaughter them themselves, and the mutton obtained belonged to them, and each of them could take a sheepskin, and the rest of the rabbit and sheepskin were made into gloves to protect from the cold, and the remaining small pieces could be used as insoles.
Even for true friends, you can't have unrealistic illusions. It must be known that every country has its own independent strategic interests, and it decides its issues from the perspective of its own nation, state, and interests, and no one will set himself on fire for the sake of others. Axioms and justices have different contents in different countries and nations, and each country and nation always proceeds from its own interests to understand and interpret axioms and justice. We should not expect too much from our friends, even if they are true friends, and still less should we bet the "treasure" of the fate of our own army and people on others. Use other people's likes and dislikes to determine or change your own battle plan. Only oneself can save oneself in the world, others can never replace oneself, others are always unreliable, and relying on others is also doomed to suffer. History has proved that the idea of independence is glorious and unbreakable.
This is true for "friends," let alone enemies, and even more so for enemies, we must not have unrealistic illusions about our enemies and opponents, still less can we have a mentality of taking chances. The fundamental reason why Chiang Kai-shek was passive everywhere in commanding Japan and clinging to the idea of "seeking peace through war" was a fundamental reason. The fundamental reason for such a major misunderstanding is that there is a lack of understanding of the ambitions and appetites of the Japanese warlords. As a matter of fact, Japan not only no longer regarded the Nanjing government as an object of goodwill, but also wanted to annex all of China. Not only to annex all of China, but also to seize Asia and the Pacific from Britain and the United States, the appetite is astonishing, and the ambition is inflated to the point beyond imagination.
It was precisely because of the lack of sufficient understanding of Japan's ambitions that Chiang Kai-shek still tried to force Japan to make peace with a campaign counterattack after Japan had set up its strategic plan to capture Nanking and cut off China along the Yangtze River, and even until the Japanese army had landed in Hangzhou Bay, he made the ridiculous judgment that it was a small detachment and no more than one and a half brigades. The root cause of all this political and military wishful thinking is an illusion about the ambitions of Japanese imperialism against China. Experience has proven that against one's main opponent and enemy, it is necessary to throw away illusions and prepare for a struggle. Only by discarding illusions can the mind be opened, the mind can be emancipated, and the initiative in war can be gained.
