"Mr. Yang, this is my fellow countryman John, the deputy class of Lihe Foreign Bank!" Harpy took the initiative to introduce Yang Yuanzhao to this German who looked a little British and American, and John was also looking at Yang Yuanzhao.

To tell the truth, just saw Harpy, he was surprised, said that it was a fellow countryman, but it happened to be a ship coming, climbing the relationship, John and his companions, I don't know how many times secretly laughed at Harpy, came to the Far East to do piano business, he wanted to get, and later qiē, all similar to John's prediction, Harpy fell into a stalemate, and bought drunk in the tavern every day.

At that time, when Harpy came to the door, John condescendingly gave some small money, that is, five marks and ten marks, but it had only been seen for a week, and Harpy seemed to tremble, not the kind of shaking that slapped his swollen face and filled with fat, but really, from the top of his spirit, he was shaking with excitement, I didn't hear that there was any establishment of a big ocean bank, could it be that Harpy met the gold owner.

"Hello, I'm John Hank, nice to meet you, Mr. Young!" John used Bihabi to standardize Chinese I don't know how much, and formally saluted Yang Yuanzhao, it is clear that John has been in China for a long time.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. John, and I hope for your help!"

"What is it?"

Harpy whispered a few words to John, John's face showed a trace of embarrassment, Yang Yuanzhao wanted weapons, in China, weapons are not open to sell, most of the foreign companies, all require weapons to be used, only the governors and the new army in various places can buy weapons smoothly, Sun Yat-sen's alliance, organized several revolutions, are from abroad, or from all aspects, barely get some weapons, Wuhan Shouyi in 1911, also because of the bomb in the concession was discovered, was prepared by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Almost all of the previous organizers fled, but it was some progressive soldiers and young people who really led the uprising.

Harpy was down-and-out before, but he was an insider, and he was almost clear about the path inside, quietly pulled John aside, took out a check for 50 pounds, and quietly stuffed it into John's hand.

As a deputy of a big ocean bank like Lihe Foreign Bank, John has a natural sensitivity to money, this is a cash check issued by Citibank, he has not been in contact with much, glanced at the number above, 50 pounds, equivalent to 500 silver dollars, John's eyes lit up suddenly, in the Far East, his salary is only 160 marks per month, which is very generous, but this 100 pounds represents a few hundred marks, and the requirements mentioned by Harpy are not high, but it is just to visit and buy a few guns by the way to defend himself.

The jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings, not to mention, the management of foreign banks in the Far East is not particularly strict, Harpy is a German, Yang Yuanzhao is just a young man, and there is no strong man with strong martial arts, so he doesn't worry about any robbery, and the result is of course smooth.

"Two, please wait here, I have something to take care of!" After John finished speaking, he returned to the lobby, briefly explained, and came out, and introduced Yang Yuanzhao and the two to the back, after a long passage, an iron door with a thickness of 30 cm, after opening, a cold air came up, a strong smell of gun oil, this is a small arsenal, very neatly stacked with all kinds of guns, the most of which is rifles, piled up almost half of the warehouse, John saw Yang Yuanzhao's eyes on that side, and hurriedly said: "This is the weapon of the Suzhou New Army, Altogether is a battalion of equipment that can not be given to you! ”

Yang Yuanzhao smiled, didn't speak, walked up directly, and looked at the equipment here carefully one by one, John didn't care, such a big warehouse, it's just two people, and what can be taken away.

Yang Yuanzhao carefully looked at each weapon, here, there are almost dozens of types of weapons, including a total of 5 kinds of rifles, 7 kinds of pistols, as well as Makqin heavy machine guns, and even a few 75 mountain guns and field artillery, to be honest, this is an unexpected joy, you know, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that there will be artillery in the concession, foreign companies are only selling light weapons, I am afraid that these are also the equipment of the new army, only when the new army is established, will need artillery, this is cheap Yang Yuanzhao, He was worried that he had nowhere to get the drawings of the cannon, and now the problem was solved at once.

After looking at all the weapons, selecting two pistols, and paying 140 yuan of silver dollars, Yang Yuanzhao left the foreign bank, not only John was confused, even Harpy couldn't understand why Yang Yuanzhao would spend such a big price, spent 640 yuan to buy two pistols, and he didn't have much to be smart.

Saying goodbye to John with a happy face, the two walked out of the foreign shop, turned the corner, two pistols, Yang Yuanzhao did not use them, and directly threw them to Harpy, let Harpy defend himself, Harpy also took over, when he was young, he used to be a soldier, for the gun thing, is not a stranger, the current Shanghai, is a chaotic city, there is a gun to defend himself, much stronger than the defenseless.

"Harpy, find a few nursing homes, by the way, decorate the warehouse tomorrow, and in terms of protection, we must do a good job." Yang Yuanzhao said solemnly.

Harpy was a little dazed, those broken yards still need to be protected, to protect the yard, but he still nodded and agreed.

Yang Yuanzhao took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "By the way, Harpy, where are the chemicals and medicines!" ”

"This!" Harpy hesitated for a moment and said: "Jardine and other British-funded foreign companies, there are more chemical supplies, of course, German foreign companies also have them, they are at the other end of the Huangpu River!" ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, you go and get busy, I'll go and see it myself!"

Chemical supplies, in this era, is not a controlled material, of course, the sales are not hit, most of them are some small foreign companies, or large foreign companies come with it, these are somewhat similar to the wholesale market of later generations, you can casually see, fancy those, naturally there are clerks to tell you the price, and you can even deliver it to your door.

Bypassing the most prosperous place of the Huangpu River, under the leadership of the rickshaw, I came to the store of chemical supplies, which was full of the smell of chemicals, how could I go to the club, some stuffy, all kinds of smells mixed together, making people unusually weird, even the clerks, were invaded by such a strange smell, basically, they all seemed lazy, unless there were customers asking the price, otherwise, they rarely came up to talk.

Yang Yuanzhao soaked here all afternoon, this almost represents the world, most of the basic chemical supplies, the knowledge system of the traverser, chemical industry is the foundation of a qiē, whether it is smokeless gunpowder in the cannon, high explosives, or the primer of the gun, these are very closely related to chemistry, even if the military industry is not considered, civilian light chemicals, the requirements for chemical supplies are also very high.

One by one, one by one, Yang Yuanzhao tirelessly perfected his drawings, a whole afternoon, he completed nearly 4,000 records of chemical supplies, including the most important urea, in this era, urea is a kind of medicine, God knows what kind of effect such a drug will have, in addition to urea, the most important harvest is a dye, called Bailang Duoxi.

Bailang Duoxi, I am afraid that it is the first anti-inflammatory drug born in this world, although his efficacy, until decades later, has not been noticed, but it is only as a dye at this time, what works, is the metabolite that it enters the human body, when he was found in the early days, many people take it directly, but he is a dye, will dye people, fortunately, with the development of science, under the further research in the field of molecule and purification, in the lysate of Bailang Duoxi, his active ingredient was discovered, This active ingredient model is colorless, and later known as sulfonamides, is another broad-spectrum antibacterial drug after penicillin.

The two major harvests, a certain number of Cheng dù, have made Yang Yuanzhao very satisfied, the rest are basic chemical raw materials, a certain Cheng dù, only when China, or the Northwest, when the number of chemists dug up is more, will it be useful.
