The Soviet side did not know the relationship between Huaxia Company and the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an, which was deliberately requested by Ma Zheng, and he was well aware of the domineering of the bearded man in Moscow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnce he knew the relationship between Huaxia Company and the Eighth Route Army, he was likely to reach out directly, so he deliberately discussed this issue with the chairman before letting Li Lanqing go abroad, and Ma Zheng meant to pretend not to know.
The chairman and others had no opinion on this, but only told Ma Zheng that he hoped that Huaxia Company would give certain preferential treatment to the Soviet Union out of consideration of the overall situation.
With these bases of cooperation, the negotiations between the two sides went smoothly. Soon after, Cherkov, vice chairman of the Soviet Economic Construction Committee, signed a cooperation agreement with Li Lanqing in San Francisco, under which the Soviet Union could provide the Huaxia Company with $20 million worth of industrial equipment and weapons and equipment by October 39 and send them to the Sino-Soviet border areas, while the Huaxia Company would waive the $15 million deposit for the Soviet Union.
In addition, the Huaxia Company should give the Soviet Union certain preferential treatment in terms of ex-factory prices, and in addition, the two sides should cooperate in the oil industry and the military industry, such as the establishment and development of oil fields by the two sides.
After the contract was signed, the countries quickly deposited $15 million in deposits into Li Lanqing's account at Citibank, along with $50 million in money and $20 million worth of gold in Citibank. The reason why gold appeared was because Huaxia Company had a stipulation that all payments in various countries in the future must be settled in US dollars, and if there were no US dollars, they would be traded in gold, and the pound, mark, ruble, and so on would not be recognized. As for the fiat currency issued by the national government, Huaxia Company did not believe it, so in desperation, many countries had to use gold to trade with Huaxia Company.
Regarding the company's production capacity, there are now 4 production lines that have started to work overtime, which can produce about 50 million worth of products per month. In addition, Huaxia's factory in the northern suburbs of San Francisco is constantly being built, and it is expected that the production capacity will increase to about 10 times the current capacity in six months.
After all, the production technology and equipment are ready-made, and all they have to do is to constantly build factories and build production lines, and there is not much waste in the production of raw materials and the like.
The only thing that worries Ma Zheng now is the cooperation with the Nationalist Government, to be honest, the reason for cooperating with the Nationalist Government is entirely for the War of Resistance and to preserve the vitality of the country. The Chinese nation suffered a total of 35 million casualties in the entire Anti-Japanese War, a figure that Wu Liande did not dare to imagine, and many of these people died in battle. A large part of those who died in the war were caused by wound infection, so Ma Zheng had to cooperate with the Nationalist government. The purpose is naturally to reduce casualties and preserve the vitality of China's defense forces.
But Ma Zheng knew better that the Nationalist Government at this time had rotted from the roots, and he was worried that drugs would flow into the Japanese army on a large scale, so there were clear regulations on the use of drugs by the Nationalist Government. Any drug must be used in a professional and strict regular hospital, and if more than 15 boxes of penicillin drugs are lost on the battlefield, they must greet Huaxia Company, and the national government must also strictly regulate the use of penicillin. Once it is discovered that someone has colluded with the Japanese to sell medicines to the Japanese, Huaxia Company has the right to immediately stop cooperating with the Nationalist Government.
The penicillin business made Huaxia Company the hottest big company in the world overnight, and Wu Liande also became the world's most famous medical scientist, because in Huaxia Company's statement to the outside world, penicillin was jointly developed by Wu Liande and Li Lanqing. But in order to protect Li Lanqing, except for a limited number of people such as Henry and Irene, no one knew that Li Lanqing was actually the controller of Huaxia Company's deeds.
The first batch of transactions amounting to 70 million US dollars was also transmitted back to China through secret channels, which surprised the princes of Yan'an, and then the chairman personally ordered that all the information on Li Lanqing and this plan be sealed and listed as the top secret of the party.
After reading the telegram sent back by Li Lanqing, Ma Zheng was both relieved and distressed, thinking that the soft and weak girl went to the ocean because of one of her own decisions, so far I don't know when I will be able to come back, and I have to face all kinds of dangers all the time, which makes Ma Zheng feel very guilty.
But Ma Zheng doesn't trust others in this kind of thing, and he is not at ease when he hands it over to others, so he can only grieve his little daughter-in-law.
However, this guilt did not last long before it was replaced by another piece of good news, Xu Yinghui told Ma Zheng that Li Lanqing had also sent a message through secret channels, saying that the first batch of industrial equipment and purchased weapons and accessories had already left California, and that they would probably be able to reach the coastal areas in a few days, and they would have to pick them up at that time.
This is indeed good news, but the only regret for Ma Zheng is that now they are only gaining a foothold in the Luxi region, and they have not had time to advance to the hinterland of Shandong, so this time they can only go to the eastern Hebei region to respond.
Fortunately, the development of the reorganized Third Division is now very good, and the forces have penetrated into the entire eastern Hebei region, and they will only need to come forward when the time comes, and it is a big deal that Ma Zheng can go there in person.
Ma Zheng did not stay in Chahar for long, and soon returned to southern Hebei again, because there were still many things to deal with for him. The main reason is that the Shandong Independent Division has now captured almost the entire southern Hebei region south of Shimen, and how to deal with such a large territory is really a problem.
To tell the truth, if there was no Suicha Military Region, Ma Zheng would have hoped that he could rely on the southern Hebei region as a base and then slowly infiltrate and radiate to Shandong. But now he has forty or fifty banner counties of the Suicha Military Region to manage in the north, a large amount of territory to take care of in Luxi, and his assistants have to wait for an opportunity to advance into the hinterland of Shandong, so he has no time or energy to stay in southern Hebei.
As for the limited strength of the local administrative office in southern Hebei, Ma Zheng knew that they couldn't swallow such a big piece of cake at all, so how to deal with this matter really needed to be carefully considered.
At the same time, Ma Zheng knew very well that Japan's heritage was still very deep, and the achievements of the Meiji Restoration were by no means consumed in a day or two. And this war will continue to be fought, and there will be at least five or six years left, so we can't rush to fight devils.
Speaking of the Japanese North China Front, the largest military force of the Japanese army in North China has been entrenched in North China for a long time, and it is impossible to uproot them in a short period of time. Although it seems that the Suicha Military Region has made great achievements during this period, the Suicha Military Region has also paid an extremely heavy price, and this is also a drain on the war potential of the Suicha Military Region.
Ma Zheng realized that if the Japanese army continued like this, it was impossible for them to develop quickly. These two months of hard fighting have greatly damaged the vitality of the Suicha Military Region, and although it has seized a large piece of territory, the soldiers have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
The casualties of soldiers are one thing, and more important is the consumption of weapons and ammunition. Although the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal is very strong, it is limited by the limitation of raw materials, and it also needs to supply the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the 120th, 129th, and 115th divisions, as well as the Jinchaji Military Region and other troops, so Ma Zheng's own weapons and ammunition are not very sufficient.
This operation exhausted the weapons and ammunition accumulated by the Military Industry Department of the Suicha Military Region for three months, which made Ma Zheng see the gap between China and Japan, and at the same time realized that the war between the two countries must be a long-term and protracted war, and it would be impossible to fight overnight.
Thinking of this, Ma Zheng himself immediately changed his combat policy in case of huge losses. On the one hand, he ordered the troops on the Jinzhong front to return to Datong immediately, leaving only a small part of the troops in Shuozhou and Daixian.
On the other hand, Ma Zheng ordered the units of the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield in southern Hebei to shrink their forces, and the units of the independent division quickly assembled and ceded the territory, including the big city of Handan, to the Southern Hebei Administrative Office. And the Southern Hebei Administrative Office came forward to package and sell the results of this period of time, that is, one city and six counties, including Handan City, to Shi Yousan.
