Chapter 681: The Importance of Penicillin!
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, choosing He Zhengdao to lead the war in Shanxi seems somewhat unqualified. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but only He Zhengdao knows that this battle may also be a battle for him to justify the promotion of alternate members.
In order to fight this battle well, He Zhengdao also spent a lot of thought. Even after obtaining the consent of the Central Committee and the General Headquarters, they began to make arrangements for this battle. It is hoped that the overall situation will be determined by the first war and Shanxi will be completely and completely taken.
As for the Japanese troops who had been holding on to Shanxi for more than a year, He Zhengdao also hoped to eliminate as many as possible. At least He Zhengdao believes that once the battle starts, it will not be easy for these Japanese troops to break through from Shanxi.
Today, on the border between Shanxi and Hebei, the 115th and 129th divisions of the Eighth Route Army have connected the base areas. And in this battle, they will be responsible for the task of blocking. The Japanese troops who broke through from Shanxi or came to aid from Hebei were the targets of their blockade.
Listening to He Zhengdao's account of the plan for the Shanxi operation, Mr. He and Luo Zhihui also felt more reliable the more they listened. In their opinion, if the battle situation is expected to be staged, maybe they can really take Taiyuan at a smaller cost this time.
After telling the battle plan, He Zhengdao also said sincerely: "Mr. He, Brother Luo, what do you think of my battle plan?" This time, our three main divisions are fighting together, so if you have any questions, just ask! ”
Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Mr. He said with a smile: "Your battle plan has been considered in detail, and even the plan for the little devil to come to the aid and break through has been taken into account. What we have to do is to set up this bureau together.
Rest assured, when the meeting is over, I will start preparing when I return to the residence. Speaking of which, my 120th Division has been in Shanxi for a while, and I believe that many officers and soldiers will be eager to solve these little devils who are in the way! ”
As for Luo Shanhui, he said directly: "Righteous way, it's not the first time we've cooperated!" In the past, during the Long March, we joined forces to trap those pursuers. This time, our 118th Division will do the same, fully cooperating with your battle plan. ”
The two veterans so frankly expressed their willingness to cooperate with He Zhengdao in commanding this operation, which was undoubtedly very touching to He Zhengdao. After all, being able to lead such a battle is an irresistible temptation for every general!
Knowing that these two people were also talking about something, He Zhengdao was not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Okay, about this battle plan, then let's discuss it here first." If there are any changes in the current situation in the future, we will adjust again.
As for the troops I transferred from Yulin, they will arrive at Mr. He's defense area within a week at the latest. also trouble Mr. He, choose a hidden place for them to rest and recuperate. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, we attacked. ”
'Okay, that's it! ’
Just when everyone finished talking about things, Chen Siya, who had already made noodles and steamed her nest, also said outside the door: "Zhengdao, can I come in?" Now that the food is ready, do you want to eat first and talk after eating? ”
He Zhengdao, who heard this, also said in a timely manner: "Boss, then let's go to the living room to eat first!" If there's anything, we'll talk about it while we eat. As for the battle plan for this time, I will send someone to send you a copy before you return to the station. ”
'Good! Then let's eat first, and we'll try the craftsmanship of our younger siblings! ’
When the three of them went out, looking at the food that had been placed on the table in the living room, Mr. He and Luo Zhihui were also very satisfied. Even if there was no wine at night, both of them thought it was good to have such food.
As for the dishes below and Xiawotou, it is the meat grilled by the guards of He Zhengdao. In addition to some common meats, the guards also made two grilled fish, which made the two visiting division commanders very satisfied.
Even Mr. Yu He was very satisfied and said: "It seems that the commander-in-chief is right, the guards around you are not only excellent in military quality, but also very authentic in this barbecue technique." This grilled fish is really good, crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, it's rare! ”
'If you like it, just like it!' In fact, when I used to take them to train in the wild, they would only get food, and they would usually barbecue and sacrifice their teeth in the wild. It's just that there aren't so many seasonings for wild-baked food. ’
In fact, as long as the guards and special combat team members who have been with He Zhengdao for a long time, most of them have good barbecue skills. These skills were naturally learned from He Zhengdao.
In He Zhengdao's words, as long as the time is right to fight outside, you can also get some ingredients from the wild to treat your belly. As long as it does not affect the combat mission and does not harm the common people, then there is no problem!
After eating, the two bosses didn't stay long here. And He Zhengdao, who sent the two away, also let Chen Siya rest first, he took the proposal for improving the finances that he had just drafted in the afternoon, and soon visited Mao's residence.
After reading the information written by He Zhengdao, Mao was also very pleased and said: "Not bad! The methods given in this proposal can indeed effectively improve the current situation of insufficient central finances. You will personally grasp the matter of this medicine when the time comes. ”
Listening to Mao's words, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Chairman, can this matter be handled by someone else?" You know, I'm going to have a mess going on? Moreover, this involves a lot of money and intelligence.
If you don't object, I think it's more reliable to let Vice Chairman Zhou personally handle this matter. First stir up the efficacy of this drug, and if we do this step well, we will be able to make real money in the future! ”
It seems like a rare good job, but it's actually a very eye-catching errand. After all, only He Zhengdao knows the effect of penicillin, and I believe it will still attract many people's attention.
If this matter is directly in charge of Zhou Enlai, I believe that even if someone wants to interfere, they will have to pass Vice Chairman Zhou first. As for the production and circulation of medicines, He Zhengdao can just grasp it when the time comes.
Faced with He Zhengdao's refusal to take charge of this matter, but he was willing to train those intelligence officers who sold drugs, Mao didn't say anything more. At least he also knew that He Zhengdao was indeed not suitable to meddle too much in this kind of money-rich matter.
Soon after Zhou Enlai was found, the three of them quickly discussed and analyzed the penicillin matter. After realizing that the 'money' of this drug is more effective than sulfonamides, Zhou Enlai is also very happy.
said with a smile: "It seems that our pharmaceutical research institute has developed another kind of chicken that can lay golden eggs!" ”
Only He Zhengdao heard this, and said very seriously: "Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, you must really pay attention to the role of penicillin." Once these drugs are on the market, I will find a place to build a separate factory for production.
In addition, all the personnel involved in design and production are subject to the strictest control. Although there are experts studying this kind of drug abroad, the penicillin they developed has not yet been used in clinical practice.
Once Europe is in the midst of a scuffle, then one can imagine how valuable this special medicine that can sometimes save a soldier will be if the number of wounded increases. I don't want some people to have a cub to sell Ye Tian when the time comes, and they don't feel sorry for it, so they give it to others!
As long as we stir up this medicine, let others know the value of this special medicine. I believe that even if we produce this drug all day, we will not have to worry about not being able to sell it. It's really to that point, then this medicine is really a chicken that lays golden eggs! ”
For some people in the party now, they like to send some of the things mass-produced by the arsenal and research institute to the Soviet Union for credit. In He Zhengdao's view, these people don't understand the value of monopoly at all.
Now I deliberately point out this point, and I also hope that Mao and Zhou Enlai can pay attention to it. In this way, I believe that after the outbreak of World War II, by selling this medicine, the Eighth Route Army will not only be able to make money, but also earn some political capital!
With He Zhengdao's reminder, Zhou Enlai also said seriously: "This medicine is really as magical as you say?" ”
I've never dared to hide anything about something important. I believe that both the chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou know that there will inevitably be casualties once the war starts. If the wounded of one side can be effectively treated, they will soon be able to return to the battlefield.
Such wounded soldiers who survive on the battlefield can often become veterans with rich combat experience. And the side that does not have a specific medicine will also have a decline in morale due to the increasing casualties. You say, "Is this medicine important?" ’
Anyone who knows the history of penicillin knows that penicillin played an important role in the eventual victory of the Allies in World War II. If it weren't for the lack of this special medicine, I am afraid that the casualties of the Allies would be beyond people's imagination.
Looking at He Zhengdao's cautious expression, Mao also restrained his expression and said: "At this stage, you have done a good job of keeping this medicine confidential?" ”
'Yes, from drug research to production and finally to clinical trials, there are dedicated security personnel to monitor. Any information relating to such drug studies, as well as the person responsible for the research, has signed a confidentiality agreement. ’
Mao, who asked this clearly, undoubtedly realized the importance of this medicine from his words. Just from the beginning of the study of this drug, He Zhengdao made very detailed arrangements, from personnel to equipment, and arranged special personnel to defend it.
If we say that the current arsenal is a confidential unit in the eyes of many people. Then all kinds of research laboratories are the real core secrecy institutions. In those places, Ho Zhengdao arranged for politically reliable guards to be in charge of inspection and security.
After discussing with the two about the sale and speculation of penicillin, Ho Zhengdao was busy returning to his residence late at night. But for Mao and Zhou Enlai, they felt a lot more relaxed.
After all, the lack of finances is also a big headache for them. But if you want to change this situation, you can't change it in a short time. Finding a new way to make money is also something they have been looking forward to.
Now He Zhengdao proposes to set up a prospecting team and a drug export team. As long as these two tasks can be done well, I believe that the situation of the central government's financial shortage, which has always been in short supply, can also be effectively improved! (To be continued.) )
