Chapter 558: The Value of Drawings (1)
Time flies, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and all units have successfully infiltrated the enemy-occupied areas and begun to develop the base areas, and through the joint efforts of all the soldiers and civilians in the base areas, several lines of defense have been built to resist the pace of the Japanese attack.
"Boss, do you think this Soviet-German war will really start? You must know that yesterday Comrade Fuchun sent a telegram from Moscow saying that when Moscow heard the information we had given, it thought that we were worried about the sky and did not pay attention to it at all. ”
"Definitely, it is estimated that there will be a war in a few days or so, the big brother is not serious, it is they who suffer, you hurry up and send a telegram to Comrade Fuchun in Moscow, let him come back as soon as he finishes his work, and by the way, bring me back the technicians and military cadets who have been sent out for further study in the past few years, although he is our big brother, but we can't leave the elite we have worked so hard to cultivate outside." Meng Qingshan said.
"CEO"
"Stop! I said Lao Liu! I'm only thirty this year, I'm still a young man, I don't need to be called a boss, it sounds weird, let's call me Lao Meng! Sounds kind. ”
"Alright! Old... Lao Meng, how long do you estimate that this Soviet-German battle will have to be fought, will it be like the battle of Risu-Nomenhan? ”
"The two battles are not proportional at all, the Battle of Normenheim is a relatively big battle for us, but for those Western powers, it is actually a friction, and the reason why the two sides are at war is very simple, both sides want to find out what is true and false about the other. Especially since the defection of Major General Li Xiukov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Army with a large number of classified materials, both sides are anxious to know the truth of the other side, and we have no oil here, and the most powerful thing in Japan is the navy, so oil-rich Siberia is a must-win land for the Japanese.
"On the Soviet side, because of Lishyukov's defection, its Far East is almost unsafe. Even if they have adjusted their deployment, it will be difficult to completely get rid of the impact of this incident unless they transfer a large number of troops from Europe. Therefore, eagerly listening to the next move of the Japanese army was an urgent task before them. ”
"There is no better way to deal with this kind of temptation than to fight a battle under the strict secrecy of the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese did not want to expand the scale of the conflict, the Soviets would not agree. As for the Japanese army, since the last time Japan fought in the Russo-Japanese war and Japan's victory, the Japanese army has not been defeated, which also makes the Japanese army a little arrogant, thinking that the Soviet Union is a paper tiger. ”
"What's more, this kind of conflict is also the best opportunity for the Japanese army to test the true combat effectiveness of the Soviet army in the Far East. If the two sides still maintained relative restraint in the Zhanggufeng conflict, which was previously called the scale of the battle, then the scale of the conflict in the Battle of Normenhan would not be small. Even if the Japanese base camp did not agree, the arrogant Kwantung Army would not give up. ”
"The level of firepower of the Japanese army is an absolute advantage over the weak army of our country. But in the face of the powerful Soviet army, it is not worth mentioning. Even the Kwantung Army threw all his belongings into it, and the result was a fiasco, and the little devil could only claim the king and hegemony in our place. ”
"Germany is not ordinary, you must know that it was one of the hegemons of Europe during the First World War, although after the defeat of the First World War, but after all, there is still a foundation in the country, in the next few years, especially when Hitler came to power, the national strength continues to improve, the little devil is just a three-year-old doll in front of Germany, and the Soviet Union is not easy to fight!"
Meng Qingshan learned that he was kind enough to remind Big Brother to beware of the German attack, but he was ridiculed, he really didn't know what to say, anyway, it was not himself who suffered.
"Lao Meng, you said that once the Soviet Union and Germany go to war, will the little devil and Germany attack the Soviet Union on both sides, then the Soviet Union will be attacked by the enemy on its back." Liu Yalou asked.
"Even if the little devil wants to attack the Soviet Union and seize Siberia, but it is not now, once the Soviet-German war starts, the little devil of Qiqihar will immediately pounce on our base area, and then it will be a tough battle, and it will be over, then everything is easy to say, if it can't stand it, we must also be ready to withdraw all the troops into the Soviet Union." Although Meng Qingshan was reluctant to hide in the Soviet Union, this time was different from the past, he was no longer a small army of thousands of people, and he could hide in the mountains and hide from the Japanese army. Although the mountains in the northeast are high and densely forested, and there are deep forests everywhere, they cannot stand the people in the base areas, and according to statistics, the population of the base areas is now about 1.8 million, and there is nowhere to hide such a big target, and the only way is to retreat to the Soviet Union to recuperate.
"Old Meng, don't be so pessimistic, you know, you are a role model in the hearts of the soldiers, if you don't have self-confidence, then we don't have it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Lao Liu's battle this time is different from the past, it is no longer a small fight in the past, nor is it a head-to-head confrontation, but a war of attrition, under the siege of the Japanese army, although we can resist the pace of the Japanese army, but our range of activities can only be limited to the mountains. In the long run, until we are absolutely sure of defeating the superior Japanese army in the plains, we will be in trouble in replenishing food and ammunition. ”
"For this reason, we must increase the production of horsepower and hoard all materials before the Japanese attack to prepare for the big war."
"Lao Meng, please rest assured that all the employees of the arsenal have been divided into three shifts and started production all day, and the local women's rescue association has also organized women to go to the instant noodle factory and canning factory to help, and now the warehouse has hoarded 200 million rounds of ammunition of various types, more than 300,000 shells, 20,000 Type 38 rifles, and 10,000 Type 81 rifles."
"Okay, with these things, we can have a good fight with the little devils, by the way, Lao Liu, did Comrade Fuchun's telegram say when the two hundred and ten tanks and three hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and medicines will be shipped back?"
"We will arrive tomorrow night, I have already sent the 39th Division to meet it, when did the commander Big Brother be so generous, he actually gave us more than 200 tanks, plus 300 anti-aircraft machine guns and two tons of medicine, is it because we told him the news that Germany is going to attack, and specially thanked us?"
Meng Qingshan rolled his eyes and said, "You think too much, we bought it." ”
"I bought it, when Fuchun went to Moscow, I went to give him off, and he didn't carry gold! Could it be that we are going to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, but the gold in our stockpile, Commander-in-Chief, is simply not enough to buy these tanks and tank shells! Zhou Baozhong asked suspiciously.
"Could it be that Lao Meng, you exchanged the drawings for it? But these more than 200 tanks and those medicines, how many drawings did you use? ”
Meng Qingshan stretched out a finger.
"One, how is that possible? You must know that last time we used three advanced weapon drawings in exchange for some industrial equipment and medicines, this time we actually used only one, and we got these big guys, is it the big brother, the big guys are cheaper? ”
"Ever heard of penicillin?"
"I haven't heard of it." Before the Anti-Japanese Federation was blocked in the Northeast, he didn't know the changes in the outside world at all, so Zhou Baozhong didn't know what penicillin was at all.
"I know, I heard my teacher say that when I was studying in the Soviet Union, I heard that the antibiotic is called a medicine and a tael of gold, but it has not been mass-produced, and it can only be synthesized naturally."
"That drawing is synthetic, and the technology that can produce penicillin in large quantities."
"My God, a pill is a tael of gold, is this thing really so expensive? But Commander-in-Chief, how did you get it? Zhou Baozhong asked in astonishment.
Penicillin, a drug that was produced in great quantities in later generations due to the progress of production technology, was everywhere. At this time, because the level of production technology can only be naturally synthesized, and cannot be produced in large quantities, the output is scarce. The yield itself is not much, and because of its special antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, it is almost equivalent to gold.
Hearing that Meng Qingshan actually knew about this kind of mass production method of special antibiotics that can only rely on natural synthesis and has a scarce yield, Liu Yalou almost couldn't believe his ears. If Meng Qingshan really understands it, then the technology in his hands can almost be said to be a sky-high price. You must know that the value of natural synthetic penicillin imported from Europe and the United States is almost equivalent to gold.
But how is this possible? At this time, penicillin was not even capable of large-scale production in Western European and American countries. The so-called production capacity is almost a small amount of manufacturing in the laboratory, and even in Europe and the United States, it is extremely expensive and difficult for ordinary people to consume.
Therefore, Meng Qingshan, who had never been abroad, was born as a bandit before, could not read a few words, and had even had no contact with the pharmaceutical industry at all, threatened that he knew the artificial synthesis technology of penicillin, which made his two partners look at him in disbelief.
"What are you looking at me like this, where can I research such advanced technology in my head, even if I want to, I don't have time, you have to thank Unit 731 of the Harbin Kwantung Army for this."
"What's this about Unit 731?"
"Last year, I didn't send a special combat team to destroy this drug den, and by the way, I asked the special combat team members to collect evidence that the little devils used human beings to conduct experiments, but I didn't expect that there was this technology in the drawings that the special combat team got back, and I always thought it was fake, so I put it aside, and later, when I was injured, when I saw the medicine bought back from the Soviet Union, I remembered, so I asked Dean Zhou and Jewish experts to study it."
"And then?"
"The results of the study show that this technology is very mature and can be mass-produced, but at the moment we simply do not have the ability to produce on a large scale, so in order to prevent the drawings from rotting in our hands, we asked Comrade Fuchun to go to Moscow to exchange what we need."
"I see, it seems that this little devil's stuff is really valuable."
When he saw that everyone believed his words, Meng Qingshan's brows relaxed, it seems that the excuse for this election is very successful, then it can be used again next time, I am really a genius.
