With Yegorov joining and reaching a consensus with him on the issue of compilation, for Li Xiaofeng, it is equivalent to solving a major problem. With the assistance of professionals, he basically does not have to worry about military training and military command.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Xiaofeng can lift Erlang's legs to be a shopkeeper, although Yegorov is very powerful, he is not omnipotent. For example, the question of funding, it is not something that Yegorov can handle.

It should be said that there is a big problem in terms of funding, although the tutor has already stated that he will allocate funds from the treasury, and two-thirds of the expenses will be reimbursed by the central government. However, it must be noted that the Bolsheviks had a very difficult financial situation, and they had to deal with the poor financial environment, to buy grain to cope with the crisis, and to arm the Red Army in large quantities.

Anyway, in the near future, the door of the Ministry of Finance is going to be broken. The reason is that the funds are limited, and even if the funds approved by the central government are difficult to allocate as scheduled, the departments have to directly send commissioners to the Ministry of Finance to collect the debts.

Li Xiaofeng is really not interested in doing the matter of asking for money in the running department, and he also knows that it will not cost much money, there are many people who ask for money, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Finance to meet everyone's requirements, at most it is to give three melons and two dates. Rather than wasting time and energy on useless work, it is better to be self-reliant.

In fact, from the very beginning, Li Xiaofeng was ready to be self-reliant, and even the mentor meant this, the reason why his old man wanted Li Xiaofeng to raise one-third of the expenses by himself was very clear - boy. It's not that I don't help you. It's not that I don't give money. Even if I approved the slip, it was true. The Ministry of Finance also has no money. So, if you really want to build such a unit, then pay out of your own pocket first, and then find a way to reimburse it in the future!

Li Xiaofeng is naturally unhappy with such a result, but there is no way, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the central government really has no money. If you don't rely on yourself, you can't get things done. No new Armaments have been added. It is not possible to secure interests in Finland. And Finland is too important to a certain immortal, so he can only grit his teeth and admit it.

Does Li Xiaofeng have the money to build an armed force? It should be said that there is no! Because he already has a Red Eagle Regiment to feed under his name, and for more than a year, the Red Eagle Regiment has dragged him to a great end. Moreover, none of the newly built enterprises in this brother are profitable, they are all in the construction period, and they are all waiting for new investment!

To tell the truth, if it were not for stealing grain from strategic reserve warehouses and making a lot of money, if it were not for the presence of the Nobel family and the Popov family. A certain immortal has long been bankrupt. Nowadays, except for the Red Eagle Regiment. is going to build a new border police force again, and to be honest, Li Xiaofeng has the heart to rob a bank.

A penny is difficult for a hero, for the sake of his ideals and a better life in the future, Li Xiaofeng can only let go, if he can rob the bank, he will do it a long time ago. It is a pity that the banking and financial industry in Russia has already been robbed by the Bolsheviks, and no money can be squeezed out of another robbery. As for foreign banks, to put it mildly, except for a few, such as the banks of the US imperialists and the devil's family, which have made a lot of money, the rest of Britain, France, Germany and Austria-Hungary are on the verge of bankruptcy of debt, and there is really no oil and water.

Since the road of robbing a bank is impassable, and a certain immortal does not have the ability to turn stones into gold and beans into soldiers, he can only go to the dark on a black road. In addition, how can money come quickly in this world? Arms smuggling and drug trafficking can definitely be among the top few.

Li Xiaofeng is more interested in being an arms dealer, and he also has a long-term plan in this regard, but at present, this path does not work. The little arms that NORINCO can produce are enough to meet the needs of the border police force.

And even if it can be sold, who will it sell to? Whether it is SKS45 or PK machine gun, it is a typical Russian-style weapon, and Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Austria can't use it if they buy it, and they export the production patent, and someone is reluctant to do it. You can't sell weapons to the counter-revolutionaries and the White Army at home, right? Even if you can make money, it is estimated that the mentor will chase and kill a certain immortal with a kitchen knife for a few streets.

Therefore, the road of selling weapons is definitely useless, and after thinking about it, Li Xiaofeng can only reluctantly do the pharmaceutical business. That's right, comrades, you read that right, it's really a drug business, not some drug trafficking!

Why do you say that? Because in this era, quite a lot of addictive narcotics controlled by later generations can be sold legally. For example, heroin, when the German Bayer Group invented this thing, the sign was non-addictive morphine, thinking that this thing could replace morphine and treat morphine addiction, and was once used for children's cough suppression (pit daddy!). ）。 However, what is more embarrassing is that heroin is converted by the liver and directly becomes morphine, which made Bayer very embarrassed at that time.

Anyway, in this era of drug trafficking, it is completely possible to hold a legal umbrella. Methamphetamine, for example, was once considered a good drug to improve work ability and fight fatigue. During World War II, the Mustachioed Führer used it as a doping agent, and pilots and truck drivers used it to refresh themselves.

This is still in the 40s of the twentieth century, in the early twentieth century, when methamphetamine was just invented, and there is probably no understanding of his harm at all. Under such circumstances, both sides of the First World War would have been happy to see a good medicine that would make the soldiers energetic and full of fighting spirit.

Ambrera did exactly that, although it was because of the same work with Henry. Eugen's unpleasantness and strifes caused the factory to waste a lot of valuable time. But compared with the other two drugs that can really save lives (streptomycin, BCG), the production process and cost of methamphetamine are simply not worth mentioning.

The technical requirements for the production of methamphetamine can be said to be almost none, as long as there is a little knowledge of chemistry, as long as there is a field, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, anyone can make it (comrades who have watched "Deadly Poison" must have an impression).

For later generations of drug traffickers, the problem that really bothered them was the raw materials and the hidden places, but for Ambrera in this era. None of this is a problem. If not, the production process should be standardized. It takes time to train production technicians and apply for relevant patents. A certain immortal's drug trafficking business has already begun. In fact, he even found a customer, and the German was the first user.

"Mr. Akimovich, what about the effects of methamphetamine?" Li Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

A month ago, in order to express his joy at the signing of the Brest Agreement between Russia and Germany and the restoration of normal relations between the two countries, a certain immortal generously presented a batch of methamphetamine to the Germans for trial. And now, a month has passed, and the results should be out. It's also time to get started with this business in earnest.

Akimovich was called in a hurry, thinking that something big had happened, but who would have thought that someone would just ask a question about a small inconspicuous pill. It made him a little angry.

"It's okay." Akimovich replied coldly.

Li Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised and asked, "Is it just okay?" ”

Akimovich was very unpleasant to someone's exaggerated expression, but he didn't dare to blow up the stab, so he could only reply in a sullen voice: "For our soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, they can win this war without the assistance of medicine!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded silently. Quietly continued: "In other words, your country does not need methamphetamine?" ”

Akimovich nodded proudly. "That's natural!" ”

The expression on Li Xiaofeng's face seemed to be a little tangled, and he muttered as if talking to himself: "It's terrible, I'm afraid the methamphetamine that has been produced is ......."

Don't look at Akimovich who is so confident and resolute in his mouth, but in fact, he attaches great importance to methamphetamine in his heart. Yes, the fighting quality of German soldiers is indeed good, but after nearly four years of fierce fighting, it is simply nonsense to say that their fighting spirit is still strong. In fact, war-weariness had already spread among the armies of the warring countries (excluding the Americans and the Japanese).

In the German army, especially among the German troops in the front-line trenches, pessimism and war weariness were constantly weakening the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops, although the Prussian tradition made the German army's willpower slightly higher than that of the Anglo-French army at the same time, but it was also limited, that is, the level of 50 steps and 100 steps.

At this time, if there is a method that can significantly improve the morale and mental outlook of the troops, and there is a possibility of universal popularization, the German government will not hesitate to pay for it. In fact, Akimovich knew that the trial of methamphetamine in the front-line troops was very successful, and the troops' ability to resist fatigue and their mental outlook was significantly improved. There is a strong demand from the troops to hurry up and do more to meet the urgent needs of the moment.

Once you figure this out, the big guy will be able to understand why Akimovich is pretending to be indifferent. The reason is naturally that he also knows that a certain immortal is very difficult to deal with, that guy doesn't eat hard and soft, and he is powerful, so he has to be careful when doing business with him, and praises the effect of methyl amphetamines, isn't that equivalent to handing over the knife to the other party and letting the other party bleed casually?

Akimovich would definitely not do such a stupid thing, so the best way to do it is to belittle the efficacy of methamphetamine and make the other party think that it is dispensable for the German army, so that it is good to bargain!

It should be said that Li Xiaofeng's muttering just now gave Akimovich the pleasure of succeeding in his treacherous scheme, and it was obvious that the other party had said that if the other party really had a large backlog of methamphetamines, then it could be taken at a very low price.

Thinking of this, Akimovich was a little excited, if he could make this deal and pit someone once, the shame of the previous failure would be completely washed away, and this would be a great achievement!

Akimovich was excited, and if it weren't for the little reason he had left telling him that he had to calm down, he probably couldn't wait.

"What, Mr. Andrea, does Ambrera have a lot of methamphetamine backlog?" Akimovich tried to pretend to be calm, but his constantly shaking calves revealed that he was nervous.

Li Xiaofeng replied calmly: "The backlog is not enough, but Ambrera is working hard to produce methamphetamine, and we are attracting investment around the world, ready to promote this epoch-making drug to the world." ”

"Trick the devil into it!" Akimovich thought he had seen through the disguise of a certain immortal, and scoffed at someone's calmness, "Is it? But how did I hear about it. Your company's sales don't seem to be doing well? ”

Li Xiaofeng still didn't care about snoring: "New medicine!" There is always a process of promotion. But we are confident in methamphetamine! ”

Akimovich felt more and more that someone was being hypocritical. However, he was also a little annoyed by going around like this and not getting to the point, and he decided to put a little pressure on a certain immortal to force a certain immortal to get to the point, "In this case, then I wish the Ambrera company can open up sales as soon as possible...... Is there anything else you can do? If not, please allow me to say goodbye first, the embassy still has a lot of work waiting for me! ”

Akimovich said this when he said this. Smiling like a fox, he felt that Li Xiaofeng would definitely give in, definitely keep him, definitely get to the point, and he could finally fight a turnaround.

It's a pity that he was too naïve and underestimated the IQ of a certain immortal. Li Xiaofeng didn't keep him at all, nor did he mean to get to the point, and shook hands with him very warmly. And I wish him all the best.

Akimovich was completely dumbfounded, his single-threaded brain couldn't figure out what it was for. Why didn't Li Xiaofeng keep him? It doesn't make sense!

Time. The thing was stunned on the spot.

At this time, the initiative had basically fallen into Li Xiaofeng's hands, and he asked in surprise: "What's the matter, don't you still have work to deal with?" ”

Akimovich was a little embarrassed, how could he want to leave, but let him swallow back what he had just said immediately, and felt ashamed. After struggling for a moment, he tried his best to pretend not to care and asked, "Regarding methyl amphetamine, if Ambrera is under too much pressure, my government is interested in helping!" ”

But now it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to pretend to be forced, and he waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, Mr. Akimovich, we are all old friends." Since your government has no interest in methamphetamine and no willingness to buy it, I will not force it. In business, you can't buy and sell by force, can you? I am very aware of the difficulties of your Government, and I am willing to be considerate of your Government's difficulties in order to maintain friendly relations between the two countries. ”

Akimovich wanted to interject several times, but he was blocked back by a certain immortal first, and when a certain immortal finished saying this large paragraph, he was so angry that he choked.

But anger is anger, work still has to be done, Akimovich can only stubbornly ask: "What about the methamphetamine produced?" Or ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaofeng interrupted him: "Oh, those methamphetamines are not a problem at all, your government is not interested, we can completely resell them to a third country!" During the war years, medicines that improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers were still very popular, and yesterday I heard from Miss Victoria that the French government was very interested in them......"

Akimovich's face turned white, he now understands that from the very beginning, he fell into the trap of the other party, and the reason why the other party mentioned this stubble was actually to threaten him - methyl amphetamine ordered you Germans not to? That's very simple, we sell to the Entente, and I believe that the Entente will be happy to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

This is simply Chiguoguo's coercion, even an honest person like Akimovich feels that the deception is too much, and he snorted angrily: "Mr. Andrei, you seem to be suspected of violating the Brest contract by doing this, right?" ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise, "Where does this start?" Medicines are humanitarian goods, not war contraband. Our export of medicines to any country has nothing to do with the Brest Contract, right? Moreover, Ambrera is a joint venture between Sweden and Finland and has absolutely nothing to do with our government. Even if the company sells arms, it can't get in the way of the Brest contract, right? Are you mistaken! ”

Akimovich didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, according to a certain immortal, Germany has no way to take Ambrera Company, but a fool can see the relationship between Ambrera and Russia, Nima, this is simply too deceitful!

"Then if our government buys all the drugs in Ambrera's backlog, does your company agree not to sell methamphetamine to the Entente group?" Akimovich asked angrily.

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Isn't your government not interested in this?" ”

Akimovich was so hateful that he simply didn't look at someone's hateful face, and said in a muffled voice: "In order to maintain the cooperative relationship between our government and your company, our government does not mind solving a little trouble for your company!" You should be satisfied with this explanation, Mr. Andrei! ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled again: "Then I will thank your government for its kindness, but I must remind your government that the patent for the production of methamphetamine belongs entirely to Ambrera." We don't want to see other companies infringing on our patents......"

Akimovich's anger was already churning, and after obtaining methamphetamine, Germany immediately handed over this "good medicine" to Bayer for study, and its intention was naturally obvious. According to the idea of the German government, after cracking the formula of methamphetamine, production was immediately organized in the country. And now, it seems, someone is already waiting for them here.

"Are you doubting the sincerity of our government?" Akimovich asked, feigned anger.

Li Xiaofeng smiled indifferently and said slowly: "I'm just explaining the facts. Ambrera will spare no effort to defend its patents for the production of methamphetamines, and will severely punish moles who do not respect intellectual property rights...... Mr. Akimovich, I think you understand what I mean, right? (To be continued......)
