Gong Xiuhua came in to report what he had been guarding against, two people mixed into the pharmaceutical factory, they were found by the guards when they entered the core workshop, and when they were interrogated, they said that they were replacing two workers who were resting due to illness, this lie was not blinded in the past, the guards immediately reported to the officer on duty, the officer immediately called the workshop manager, the workshop manager denied that there were workers asking for leave, but confirmed that two workers did not come to work, which did not comply with the rules and regulations of the factory, and the substitute workers were not allowed to enter the core workshop, and then the two were detained, When I contacted the sick worker's family, the family told the factory that the two had gone to work early in the morning and were not sick at all, let alone ask for leave. The wages of the workers in the pharmaceutical factory are very high, the average worker has 30 oceans per month, and the apprentice workers also have 18 oceans per month, which has exceeded the salary of the regular workers in the ordinary factory, so the workers in this factory cherish the job opportunities here very much and will not be absent from work easily. So the two substitutes were brought into the guardhouse for interrogation, and soon they confessed that the two workers had been kidnapped, they were the robe brother who came to Yucheng from Pengshui to worship the wharf, and the local robe brother Nie sent forty yuan to ask them to sneak into the pharmaceutical factory to see.

"What do you think?" After the palace embroidery painting report, Zhuang Jihua brought Li Zhilong, Tang Zong and Hong Junqi to discuss.

"It's a little strange," Li Zhilong said first, "these two people are illiterate, let alone know any production process, even if they go in, it is meaningless, but why do they do this?" ”

"Throwing stones to ask for directions, can only be explained in this way," Hong Junqi said, "the purpose is to test our defenses in the factory, and at the same time confuse our vision." ”

"But it also played a role in alarming us," Hong Junqi's words did not convince Li Zhilong, he frowned and said: "And what is disturbing our sight, what is disturbing our sight, what are these people, why did they choose the pharmaceutical company alone, did they come from penicillin?" ”

Faced with Li Zhilong's series of questions, Hong Junqi opened his mouth, feeling difficult to answer, and after thinking about it, he rushed to Tang: "Naijian, you are responsible for safety, you can talk about it." ”

Tang Zong smiled calmly: "Captain Hong is right, the other party's purpose is to disturb our sight, there have been a lot of people in Yucheng recently, and the Shi Yi we used to monitor has become active again, he recently got in touch with Honka, who was sent by Yuben to inspect the restoration of the consulate, and hooked up with the French Omtong company, their purpose is penicillin, but I estimate that Shi Yi may pay more attention to the development of the southwest." ”

"Who is that robe brother Uncle Nie?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Uncle Nie's full name is Nie Tianjie, he is the helmsman of Wanglongmen Wharf, there are more than 200 brothers under him, he is usually quite obedient, and he is very familiar with Sun Deming, the manager of Omtong Company, and Sun Deming is familiar with Shi Yi, who is known as Huang Yuesheng, and he is likely to introduce them to each other." Tang Zong's supplementary introduction made Zhuang Jihua understand a rough idea, with Brother Pao's style of doing things, if Shi Yi was tempted by certain interests, Nie Tianjie might have contributed to him.

"Why is Shi Yi confusing our vision?" Zhuang Jihua still has questions: "Is he connected with us internally?" ”

"I haven't found it yet, but he is more familiar with Cong Lin, the secretary of the Municipal Axe Secretariat." Tang Zong said.

"Cong Lin?" Zhuang Jihua thought about it and still didn't have the impression, he was the deputy mayor and should have been in contact with the people in the secretariat.

"Cong Lin, a student from Shanghai, originally came to apply for a teacher, and when the municipal axe recruited staff, she submitted her resume again, and her English was better, and she was hired as the secretary of the municipal axe." Tang Zong checked, but he found something abnormal.

"No," Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that this Shi Cong was likely to be a key figure: "She came here alone, or did she come with everyone, and she graduated from that school?" How did Shi Yi meet her? ”

"Shi Yi's public identity is a salesman of Omtong Company, and the power plant equipment is basically purchased from Omtong Company, and the required parts and components also need to be imported from this channel, and the equipment for the expansion of the waterworks in Mayor He's municipal plan of Chongqing City is also planned to go from Omtong Company, and they met in this way."

This relationship happened when Tang Zong's eyelids were low, after Shi Yi put his hand into the municipal axe, Tang Zong strengthened his surveillance of him, and Cong Lin did not cheat after knowing Shi Yi.

Zhuang Jihua always felt that something was wrong, but he never thought of it, Cong Lin's experience was nothing at all, many people came from all over the country in the past two years, many college graduates, college graduates in the Republic of China period were a bit like college students in the previous life, many of them were also unemployed after graduation, and the wages provided by Yucheng were attractive enough, so there were people from all over the country. Zhuang Jihua They need too many people, and they are not entering the development team, so the review is not so strict.

"Why isn't she a teacher anymore?" Li Zhilong suddenly asked: "Changed to apply for the secretary of the municipal axe?" You must know that the salary of a teacher is several times that of a secretary. ”

Pan Huiqin also went to school as a teacher recently, and the two children were already able to leave, so their husband and wife hired a nanny, and Pan Huiqin also went to Liu Yinshu's school to become a Chinese teacher, and she also had eighty oceans a month. But although the name of the secretary of the municipal axe is good, the salary is only twenty yuan a month, and the difference is four times, which makes Li Zhilong feel strange.

"Check this person, Nai Jian, according to the resume she provided, send someone to Shanghai to investigate, in addition to check her social relations, especially related to the development team." Zhuang Jihua said in a deep voice.

After Li Zhilong said this, Tang Zong also felt that there was something strange in it, he immediately agreed, Zhuang Jihua looked at his drawer, the most critical information on penicillin was in the confidential room, and said that Ben was the only country where he did not apply for a patent, such a patent, once the Sino-Chinese war broke out, Yu Ben Zheng Axe would not care about the patent law at all, and would directly decrypt it, so applying for a patent was equivalent to giving it to Yue himself for nothing, so he would not do such a stupid thing.

"In addition, you touch the bottom of that robe brother helmsman again, if you can, even he will be taken off this time." Zhuang Jihua is a little disgusted with these underworlds, but Sichuan's Pao Brother, like the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai, has a history of hundreds of years, and has an entangled relationship between the political and economic circles and the people, and many of the generals of the Sichuan Army have joined the Pao Brother organization, so it may be more difficult to completely eradicate them than to implement rent and interest reductions, Zhuang Jihua doesn't want to touch this hornet's nest now, but as long as the excuse is appropriate, he doesn't mind suppressing them.

Tang Zong's actions were very fast, and he arranged for Cong Lin to be monitored on the same day, and then sent Qin Hailian, the deputy head of Yucheng Station, to Shanghai to investigate. At the same time, the security of the pharmaceutical factory's data room has been strengthened, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day.

But the pharmaceutical factory data room is just a bait, and the core information is all in the safe in the base's secret room, and this safe only stores penicillin's information, and the key is only owned by Zhuang Jihua.

In the face of more and more reports from the press on Yucheng, Zhuang Jihua began to think about cooling down this wave of propaganda, and he began to restrict the development of contact with journalists, announcing the establishment of a press spokesman, and members of the development team were not allowed to be interviewed by reporters in private, and everything was subject to the spokesman's speech.

The craze caused by penicillin continued, and the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession Health Bureau jointly announced that they would test penicillin, especially its pharmacological and pathological analysis, and asked the Sichuan Development Company to provide specific information. This time, Zhuang Jihua did not come forward, but the spokesman resolutely rejected the request of the concession political axe, stating that penicillin has been clinically proven and is currently used in many hospitals in China, and there has not been a single problem, and the request of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession is made out of nothing.

Following the statement of the Sichuan Development Company's statement, the Shanghai Concession authorities announced a temporary suspension of the use of penicillin, and the British and French ambassadors put pressure on the Nanjing National Political Axe to come forward to persuade the Sichuan Development Company.

At the same time, the shareholders of the joint development company telegraphed the Executive Yuan, believing that this was just a commercial incident and that it was not appropriate for the national government to interfere.

In May, the British and French ambassadors approached Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling again, but Chiang Kai-shek refused on the pretext that the war on the Jiangxi front was tense and he had no time to separate himself.

Things have developed to this point, both sides are deadlocked, Yang Yongtai suggested, whether we can take a step back for the time being, give Britain and France a step forward, don't they want to test, can give them some products, let them test themselves, as long as the patent is in hand, we can advance and retreat freely.

Similarly, Li Zhilong and Hong Junqi are also very puzzled, why is Zhuang Jihua so tough, and it's nothing to test them? "Why don't you understand, it's not a question of whether to give them a test, it's a matter of sovereignty, penicillin has been tested in the Drug Administration of the Republic of China, and there is no need for the concession to test it again, otherwise where is the authority of the political axe of the Republic of China? In the future, will the new drugs be sent to the Concession Public Works Bureau for testing after the political axe test of the Republic of China? ”

Zhuang Jihua's words made everyone suddenly realize that the purpose of the British and French political axes to provoke the incident was here. Zhuang Jihua resolutely refused to give in, and reported his attitude to Chiang Kai-shek, and with Chiang Kai-shek's support, the two sides were deadlocked.

After they announced the restriction of penicillin, this decision was questioned by almost everyone, and a large number of patients, including the British, went to the Chinese boundary hospitals for treatment, and the doctors in the concession hospitals began to secretly inject penicillin into seriously ill patients, of course, the drugs were brought by the patients themselves.

Just when the concession authorities could not come to Taiwan, Mr. Mei sent a telegram telling Zhuang Jihua that penicillin had been approved by the US Drug Testing Agency and could be sold in the United States.

"The United States is the most developed country in the world today, and its drug testing is the most stringent, and they have all passed, so what excuse does Britain and France have to re-test?" The spokesman shouted to Chinese and foreign reporters: "Their purpose is to control penicillin and plunder our inventions." ”

The news from the United States made Britain and France scramble, the French retreated, and in Europe the French company began to negotiate with Deutsche Pharmaceutical, and Deutsche Pharmaceutical behaved very reasonably, and the French company only needed to pay three marks to obtain the production authorization of penicillin.

Since the fight could not continue, the Ministry of Industry Bureau took advantage of the news from the United States to announce the lifting of restrictions on penicillin. So far, with British, French and German professors, Zhuang Jihua has won a complete victory.

The victory over Britain and France was taken for granted by Zhuang Jihua and was not worth mentioning, and what really worried him was himself. Compared with Britain and France, both the British and the French are aristocrats, and they have rules to follow. And what about these little dwarfs, they are a group of outright nouveau riche, and they can usually pretend to be Sven, but once the interests are in front, they will immediately be exposed, cheating, cheating, stealing, and robbing, and they can use any means, without any rules at all.

Zhuang Jihua had no choice but to order Tang Zong to step up his precautions, and Tang Zong quickly reported the investigation of Cong Lin to him.

"Cong Lin is a transfer student, she only entered the Normal University to study Bahasa Malaysia in the fourth year of university, according to the resume she filled out in school, she is a Hong Kong native, and her family is in business..."

"She didn't fill that paragraph on our resume here, and I think she's a major suspect." Tang Zong said: "In the two months we have been monitoring her, we found that she has a close relationship with Shao Daren from the Propaganda Department of the development team headquarters, and it is likely that she is in charge. ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't speak but listened silently, Tang Zong didn't know what Zhuang Jihua's attitude was, so he continued: "Shao Daren is the fifth phase of Whampoa, and after 412, he left the army and became unemployed, worked as a newspaper reporter and editor, and then became unemployed, and is suspected of having participated in the third party. ”

After Tang Zong finished speaking, he put away the folder and waited for Zhuang Jihua's further orders, Zhuang Jihua thought twice: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't move them for the time being, Deputy Stationmaster Qin has already gone to Hong Kong, and when he comes back from Hong Kong, we will know if there is a problem with this Cong Lin."

"I estimate that Deputy Stationmaster Qin can't find out anything in Hong Kong, if she is Yu's spy, he must have arrangements in Hong Kong, Cong Lin has only been in Yucheng for more than a year, and this arrangement must not be revoked, so our only way is to strengthen surveillance." Zhuang Jihua changed his tone, with a hint of murderous aura: "But we can't wait for the rabbit, those who are public say that we can do something." You go and discuss with Teng Jie, mobilize the students to protest, and force them out of Chongqing! ”

Tang Zong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't that going to bring a lot of diplomatic trouble?" ”

"Isn't it okay to leave them alone? Anyway, don't worry about the account, go ahead. Zhuang Jihua looked indifferent.

She always hesitated, but finally agreed, and when he turned around to leave, Zhuang Jihua stopped him again: "The people of the political axe, your people, and the police can't be on the road, let the masses do it." Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Tang Zong replied loudly, he now understands Zhuang Jihua's way to avoid trouble, this is killing people without seeing blood. Tang Zong turned around to go out, but Gong Xiuhua pushed the door in: "Sir, Director Yan, they are back." ”

Zhuang Jihua had a smile on his face, and he and Du Yuming had been gone to Fujian to recruit people for four months, and sent a telegram back a month ago, saying that they had recruited 32 people, most of whom were company and battalion commanders, and there were several senior officers. Serious and Du Yuming didn't say who those senior officers were, and sent a telegram just to ask them to prepare the barracks. made Zhuang Jihua itch in their hearts.

"Why are you, Brother Fan?" After Zhuang Jihua went out, he saw Fan Hanjie's slightly old face, which surprised him very much.

"Hehe, the principal said that you are short of people here, let me come over and continue to listen to you." Fan Hanjie said with a smile, Zhuang Jihua's heart was slightly stagnant, he heard a trace of ridicule from his tone, and he was also a little helpless.

"It stands to reason that you are the deputy commander of the 19th Route Army, and it is Qu Cai to come to my small temple." Zhuang Jihua looked at Fan Hanjie's face and said sincerely: "Since the principal arranged for you to come, it means that you must be of great use to our cause." ”

"Cultural Revolution, don't get me wrong, I'm just imagining that Song Xilian and Hu Zongnan are like each other, leading troops to the battlefield and always hiding behind, it's really boring." Fan Hanjie saw that Zhuang Jihua was very sensitive, so he immediately explained.

"128 Song Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, you haven't fought enough?" Zhuang Jihua said.

"When I was 128, I was not in China, and I was still in Germany at that time." Fan Hanjie stared.

It turned out that Fan Hanjie left Wuhan after Chen Mingshu left, he also left Wuhan and went to Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with his loyalty, and successively sent him to study military affairs in Germany.

After listening to Fan Hanjie's story, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but feel ridiculous, this Chen Mingshu really didn't know if he was confused, and he had to pull the spy into his troops.

"Cultural Revolution, let me introduce to you, these are all good generals in our 19th Route Army." Fan Hanjie said, pointing to the dozens of officers around him.
