Bai Fei hurriedly said: "Where is Mr. Zhou, I didn't know that Mr. was here today, if I knew, I would definitely go out of the city to greet him, in addition, in front of Mr. and General Ye, I am just a junior, and Mr. must no longer call me a general." If the gentleman can afford me, just call me by my first name, Zhenyu..."

Mr. Zhou smiled: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”

"So very good, very good..."

Bai Fei was excited, great man, this is a real great man!

In his mind, there are not many people who can be called greats, but this Mr. Zhou happens to be one. This person has been running for the future of the country and the nation all his life, working hard for the revolution, being conscientious, working hard, and making many outstanding contributions to the country and the nation. Moreover, this person knows how to be humble, is a humble gentleman, never jealous of the virtuous, and when he meets someone who is better than himself, he would rather give up his high position to the virtuous, without selfishness, and his character is good, no matter whether he is friend or foe, he has nothing to say about it. During the Cultural Revolution after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this person held power in the face of opportunists, endured humiliation, and tried his best to minimize the losses caused by the Cultural Revolution in a difficult situation, so that the country could operate normally, and strive to maintain the national economic construction; Unremitting efforts have been made to protect a large number of leading cadres and democratic personages and to restore and implement state policies. He waged various forms of struggle against Lin Biao and the Jiang Qing clique, and played an important role in controlling and stabilizing the situation in thwarting the various separatist and power-seizing conspiracies of the Lin Biao and Jiang Qing clique. He has made outstanding contributions to opening up a new situation in diplomacy, realizing the easing of Sino-US relations, the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations, and the restoration of China's seat in the United Nations.

With excitement, Bai Fei welcomed everyone indoors, and walked all the way, his heart was uncertain.

After coming to the house and sitting down, Ye Ting said with a smile: "Zhenyu, we are in a hurry all the way, and we haven't eaten dinner yet, do you think you will prepare something for us to eat first?" ”

Bai Fei patted his head and said, "Look at my brain," he said and shouted to the guard at the door: "Immediately let the room prepare a table of meals, and it will be hearty." ”

Mr. Zhou hurriedly said: "Just prepare some food, don't be too extravagant and wasteful." ”

Bai Fei said: "I just captured Duchang yesterday, there is a warehouse of the Japanese army here, which is full of food, and I have asked people to distribute most of it to the poor people of Duchang, but there are still some canned meat, which is not wasted." Saying that Mr. Zhou is here today, I am also half a landlord here, how can I be lazy. ”

Ye Ting joked: "Zhenyu, you are seeing people put down dishes, I remember that last time I went to Lu'an to find you, I didn't see such an eager hospitality for me..."

Bai Fei said: "Commander Ye, you have wronged me, I am just as enthusiastic about you and Mr. Zhou." ”

Ye Ting said: "I see it different..."

Mr. Zhou said with a smile: "Brother Xiyi, don't be jealous, if you feel that you have suffered a loss, let Zhenyu treat you alone next time." ”

Mr. Zhou called it this because Ye Ting was more than a year older than Mr. Zhou. Ye Ting was born in 1896 and Mr. Zhou was born in 1898.

Bai Fei also joked: "This time, when I eliminated the Japanese army in Duchang, I captured a lot of Japanese-style equipment, I heard that Commander Ye was coming this morning, and I specially asked someone to prepare a batch to give it to him, but now he actually slandered me, it seems that he doesn't want these equipment..."

When Ye Ting heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't be, even if I said the wrong thing, Brother Zhenyu will forgive me..."

Bai Fei and Mr. Zhou glanced at each other and laughed.

Bai Fei said: "Since that's the case, then I'll forgive you once." ”

Ye Ting suddenly said to Mr. Zhou seriously: "Although Zhenyu and I are old acquaintances, we have only met once, and this is the second time we have met. But every time we meet, he can always be anxious about what we are anxious about, think about what we think, but ask for something, and always give us help and support unconditionally, and do not ask for anything in return. Like this time, before I could speak, he was already prepared. I don't even know what to say to thank you when I think of that..."

Mr. Zhou also sighed: "Yes, such feelings are indeed moving...", Mr. Zhou stood up solemnly and said: "Little Brother Zhenyu, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Southern Bureau, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you, and your selfless help will be remembered." ”

Bai Feixin said how good it was, and suddenly began to sigh.

When he saw Mr. Zhou bending down to thank him, he said in fear: "Mr. Zhou, don't do this, I really don't dare to do it." Now that the Japanese invaders are vicious and occupy China, our 450 million compatriots, regardless of faction, should share the same hatred for the enemy. To tell the truth, I am very sympathetic to your situation, but I am weak in my personal strength, and I cannot control the overall situation, so I can only do what I can, hoping to drive out the Japanese invaders as soon as possible, reunify the country, and then reshape the majestic posture of China's Han and Tang Dynasties and rejuvenate the nation. And these things need to be done by people like Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ye. ”

Ye Ting and Mr. Zhou exchanged glances, and Mr. Zhou sighed: "If the generals of all China are as sensible as Zhenyu, why worry about the Japanese and China!" ”

At this time, the special combat team members outside the door came to report that the meal had been prepared, Bai Fei warmly invited Ye and Zhou to the table, and ordered someone to take two bottles of wine, and the three of them chatted while drinking the banquet, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Mr. Zhou said: "Zhenyu, Xiyi and I made a special trip to find you this time, in fact, there is another important thing I want to talk to you about..."

Bai Fei said: "Mr. Zhou has something to do, but it doesn't matter, I have already said before, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you." ”

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "This matter is not a difficult matter, I heard that you have started a pharmaceutical factory to produce an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug called penicillin, right?" ”

Bai Fei understood as soon as he heard it, so he said: "Yes, this penicillin is my exclusive patent, and a large number of finished injections have been produced, this medicine has a very good cure rate for both trauma and anti-inflammatory and bacterial infections in the body." ”

Mr. Zhou said happily: "That's just great. To tell the truth, although our party is now in a period of cooperation with the Kuomintang, it has always been suppressed and blockaded by the authorities, so whether it is the New Fourth Army under the leadership of our Southern Bureau or the Eighth Route Army north of the Yellow River, the lack of weapons and ammunition is still secondary, and the most scarce and most urgent thing is not weapons, but medicines. On the front line, many comrades were wounded in the struggle against the enemy, and because they could not receive timely medical treatment due to lack of medicine, they died and were disabled. So this time, when I learned that you have penicillin, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specially appointed me to negotiate with you, hoping to establish a long-term supply channel with you. ”

Bai Fei immediately agreed: "No problem." It's just that I want this channel to be as secretive as possible. ”

Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "Please rest assured that we will try to be cautious whether it is for your protection or for our own considerations." ”

Bai Fei said: "There is one more thing, it is more difficult. ”

Ye Ting said: "Tell me about it." ”

Bai Fei said: "That's right, my pharmaceutical factory is built on Hainan Island, and there is a special partner in charge of the production and sales of medicines, I can send a telegram to him, explain the situation to him, and ask him to supply you with medicines at the lowest price, but you need to send someone to the island to hand over and transport with him..."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou frowned and said eagerly: "It is appropriate to go to Hainan to hand over the medicine, but according to our latest intelligence, the Japanese army seems to be preparing for a large-scale attack on Hainan. Zhenyu, this action of the Japanese army is not trivial, I suggest that you notify that side immediately, make all preparations, if you can withdraw, withdraw the pharmaceutical factory, if you can't withdraw, you can't let it fall into the hands of the Japanese army..."

Bai Fei said: "This is what I call more difficult. In fact, I already know about the Japanese army's attack on Hainan, and I have made all the preparations, I believe that the Japanese army will not succeed in the short term, and what I am worried about is whether the Japanese army will blockade the Qiongzhou Strait during the war, and once it is blocked, no medicine will be delivered. A few days ago, I have asked Hainan to transport all the finished drugs that have been produced to Leizhou on the other side of the strait, and in recent days I have been busy with the war and have no time to pay attention, but I believe that there should not be much left, so Mr. Zhou, I hope you can send someone to contact as soon as possible, because once the Hainan war breaks out, it is difficult to say whether the medicine can be shipped out at that time. ”

Mr. Zhou immediately said: "You are right, I will send a telegram to notify the local party organizations in Liangguang and Guangzhou, and ask them to go to Leizhou as soon as possible to complete the handover." He didn't eat anymore, so he left his seat and went out to find the staff who accompanied him to assign tasks.

Bai Fei sighed: "Mr. Zhou is really resolute in doing things. ”

Ye Ting said: "This is his consistent style, work is more important than anything else, don't be surprised." ”

Bai Fei shook his head and said, "How can I meet the strange, it's just admiration." ”

Ye Ting said again: "According to the news, the Japanese army's attack on Hainan this time is very large, are you really ready?" ”

Bai Fei nodded when he heard this, but he didn't make a sound, sighed secretly, and said in his heart I don't have a bottom, and now I have to take one step at a time, hoping to end the matter here in Nanchang as soon as possible, and then wave the army south to rescue, hoping that Li Shuyang can hold out until that time.
