[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 462: The daughter-in-law is gone (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

The withdrawal of the Japanese army was expected by Ma Zheng, but it was beyond Ma Zheng's expectation that the Japanese army would completely abandon the two counties of Yanggaotian Town. Although these two counties were already under attack by the Suicha Military Region and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region at this time, Ma Zheng was still very surprised that the Japanese army could directly withdraw from these two places with a strong man breaking his wrist.

Yanggao County is just that, insignificant, but Tianzhen is different, Tianzhen County has always been the east gateway of Datong, a place where soldiers must fight, I didn't expect the Japanese army to have the courage to abandon this place, which shows the determination of the Japanese army to withdraw this time.

General Sugiyama Mototo had expected that Ma Zheng's troops would move south immediately after cleaning up the battlefield, but the result was equally shocking. Instead of swinging troops south to attack Dai County as Sugiyama Yuan had imagined, Ma Zheng's troops withdrew from Shuo County and San'in and handed over the territory of the newly occupied counties to the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which had been operating in this area.

There is no way for Ma Zheng's headquarters to withdraw troops, and the large-scale reorganization of the military region has not yet been completed, and compared with the huge territory of more than 40 banner counties in two and a half provinces, there is not much to say about the 170,000 troops. What's more, even if Ma Zheng's division is counted as cavalry divisions, there are only six divisions, and if the battle line is too long, it is likely to be broken by the Japanese army, so Ma Zheng will directly hand over the newly captured Shuoxian, Shanyin, and Ying counties to the 120th Division, and the Suicha Military Region only retains Datong and Huairen, of course, there are also Yanggao and Tianzhen left after the Japanese army evacuated.

In addition to the lack of troops, there is another very important reason for Ma Zheng's retreat, that is, he does not dare to push the Japanese too hard now. The Japanese army that attacked several times in the Suicha Military Region was crushed, and Suixi, Chanan, Chabei, and Renan were captured one after another, and Ma Zheng's headquarters had been regarded as a thorn in the side of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army, and they wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Now that the north of Jin has been captured again, the soldiers are pointing directly at Taiyuan, which is quite a posture of fighting with the little devils. Once the North China Front Army believes that Ma Zheng's division is their greatest enemy, then it will inevitably engage in a large-scale main decisive battle with Ma Zheng's headquarters and the entire Eighth Route Army.

However, the problem was that Ma Zheng's division was not ready for a full-scale confrontation with the Japanese army in North China, so he did not continue to move south, otherwise a mere half-crippled 20th Division would not be able to block Ma Zheng's troops.

Now Ma Zheng's department has retreated north and handed over the territory to the 120th Division, which is equivalent to giving the Japanese a hope, making them feel that Ma Zheng's department is just the end of a strong crossbow, so that the dog will not jump over the wall in a hurry.

Of course, another reason why Ma Zheng was so anxious to withdraw his troops was that Yan'an sent a telegram saying that the new identity of his little daughter-in-law had been arranged, and he would leave for Shanghai from now on, and then from Shanghai to the United States.

After all, the Pacific War will break out in two years, and the contact between China and the United States will inevitably be threatened by Japan, so at least Li Lanqing will not be able to return until the end of the war, so Ma Zheng will return to Guisui in a hurry.

Ma Zheng still has some doubts about Li Lanqing's trip to the United States, after all, she is only a twenty-five-year-old girl. I didn't have the experience of living abroad before, although I knew a few words of English, but when Ma Zheng really pinned the hope of a political party and a country to gather so far on her, Ma Zheng really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

But the matter has come to this point, Ma Zheng has no way, but he can no longer find a more suitable candidate than Li Lanqing. As for these people around Ma Zheng, if anyone can gain a firm foothold in the United States and turn penicillin drugs into real American knives, there is one person who can definitely do it, and that is Chen Jiaying.

This goddaughter of Chairman Jiang is very strong in terms of means and ability, even if she has been put on the cold bench by Ma Zheng, she is still doing a good job. Moreover, it is said that this Chen Da beauty has been in the United States before, and she only returned to China two years ago, so she can go to this matter.

But the problem is that this person Ma Zheng doesn't dare to use it, penicillin drugs are very important, even more important than AK assault rifles and bazooka to some extent. And Ma Zheng is sure that with that Miss Chen's loyalty to the Nationalist Government, as long as there is the slightest opportunity, she will also pass on the information to Lao Jiang. Therefore, after thinking about it, Ma Zheng still reluctantly let his little daughter-in-law perform this task.

The working group to assist Li Lanqing had already set off a month ago, and in addition to Huzi, the guard, Ma Zheng had also specially dispatched the elite of a combat squad from the special combat team to protect Li Lanqing closely. In addition, Yan'an also sent five elites who were familiar with the English language and the American environment, and these people had arrived on the west coast of the United States by this time.

Regarding funds, Ma Zheng not only handed over the confiscated $8 million bearer deposit certificate of Citibank to Li Lanqing, but also gave Li Lan a ton of gold with him.

That's right, a ton of gold. Don't think how much a ton of gold is, in fact, the volume of a ton of gold is really not very large. You must know that the specific gravity of gold is 19.32, that is, 19.32 times that of water. A ton of water is 1 cubic meter, and a ton of gold is about one-twentieth of a cubic meter, or 0.05 cubic meters, and if smelted into gold nuggets, a suitcase can easily hold a ton of gold.

After all, this time I went to invest in the factory, and I had to have technology and funds, so it was always right to bring more money.

In addition to these, Ma Zheng also brought Li Lanqing a few special things -- three technologies and a map, which are the patented technology of rotary gasoline engine, the patented technology of penicillin, and the research concept of streptomycin. And that map is even more important, which is a specific map of the oil and gas resources and precious metals in the United States.

The reason why Ma Zheng chose gasoline engines is entirely because these things are not high-tech. This thing is already available now, but the gasoline engine at this time is extremely clumsy, and the sealing technology is limited, and the use rate of gasoline is extremely poor. The rotary gasoline engine designed by Ma Zheng can perfectly solve these problems, although this engine is still on the drawings, but Ma Zheng believes that if there is money, this kind of engine will soon become a real thing.

Once there is a convenient gasoline engine, this will inevitably become the object of competition among major American automobile manufacturers, which will reduce the difficulty for Li Lanqing to gain a firm foothold in the United States.

As for streptomycin, although Ma Zheng handed over Li Lanqing only an idea, he actually explained the steps of how to develop this antibiotic clearly. The reason why Ma Zheng took out the streptomycin technology together is that streptomycin is the second antibiotic produced and used in clinical practice after penicillin, and its specific effect on anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis has created a new era of tuberculosis treatment, and it is the most suitable drug to open the market and create gimmicks.

More importantly, this antibiotic was isolated from Streptomyces in 1943 by American chemist S.A. Waxman, and even if Ma Zheng did not take it out, the United States would produce this drug in another 3 or 4 years.

Although Ma Zheng has some other technologies with higher technology content in his mind, and he can achieve technology monopoly and market domination when he takes them out, many technologies need to be promoted for a long time and do not meet Ma Zheng's requirements, so after thinking about it, Ma Zheng still feels that these three things are the most suitable for Li Lanqing.

After all, the direction of history is clear to Ma Zheng, and in the next few years, medicine and arms will be the protagonists, and everything else is nonsense. Whether it is an engine or a car or an airplane, it must not be a problem to make money.

That map is the basis for Li Lanqing's visit to the United States, and that map records the distribution of oil and gas resources and precious metals in all North American countries, including the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Needless to say, those things are not worth much at this time, and they are bought for later. The precious metals are different, the Americas are famous for a lot of gold, even in the 21st century, large gold mines are often discovered, this map records the detailed addresses of hundreds of large gold mines. Presumably, with these oil fields and gold mines, Li Lanqing's team should soon be able to gain a firm foothold in the United States. (To be continued.) )
