Chapter 22: Penicillin's Joke
The young man's words were shocking enough, and he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Song Zheyuan's ** lake. The words of the young man can be regarded as touching the softest string in the hearts of the elderly.
Looking back on the past, it is not easy for the 29th Army to get to where it is today. History has proved that the officers and men of the 29 are all good, capable of ensuring the safety of the water and soil, and can even do better. It's just that the land of Chahar is too barren, and the 29th Army has only been able to keep food and clothing since it recuperated here. If he, Song Zheyuan, can have a rich area like Chen Jitang, Li Zongren and others, then ......
He looked at Ouyang Yun's young face, and his mood was very complicated. In the final analysis, Ouyang Yun was still too young, so young that what he said seemed very childish.
Song Zheyuan didn't want a good piece of land, but who said that the 29th Army was not someone's descendant? It's good to have a place to shelter from the rain, but what do you want? Not only him, but also most of the officers and soldiers of the 29 thought this way, so when he was named chairman of Chahar, they would run more than 100 miles overnight like taking stimulants, eager to grow wings and fly here.
Historians are human beings, too, and they inevitably make mistakes β they can't get into the inner world of the characters, and their analysis based on so-called facts can only be used as a reference.
Ouyang Yun's words uncovered the scars in Song's heart, reminded him of the days under the fence, and remembered the images of the 29 officers and soldiers dressed like flowers, and his heart was desolate.
Ouyang Yun saw that his face was gloomy, restrained his smile, and said softly: "Song Gong, according to the grapevine, the negotiations between He and the Japanese have reached a preliminary intention, and the central army, including the government, will all withdraw from Hebei, and at that time, the entire Hebei will be emptyβHebei is much richer than Chahar." β
Having said that, it was enough, Song was a smart person, he immediately woke up, looked at him, a little surprised, more surprised, and asked, "Grapevine?" Exactly? β
"The news released by the people around He shouldn't be wrong."
"Good!" Song patted the table, stood up, thought about it, sat down again, frowned and said, "But, the defense of the 29th Army is in Chahar?!" β
Ouyang Yun saw that he was tempted, knowing that half of his goal had been achieved, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this Song Gong, someone will naturally invite you over when the time comes." β
"Oh? On what basis do you assert? β
"Duke Song, the land of North China does not only produce traitors, since ancient times, there are many loyal and brave people."
"Huh?" Song used his brain and immediately figured it out, which made the origin of the young man in front of him even more curious, and asked the same question: "Ouyang, who are you?" The difference is that this time he said it with a smile on his face, and he looked very amiable. He thought to himself: This kid is not simple, isn't it? What kind of power does he represent? It is impossible for the Japanese, so - no matter which side he represents, as long as he can hold Hebei in his hands, in this era of talking by the barrel of a gun, who are he afraid of?
Ouyang Yun smiled and said: "Song Gong, this is not important, the important thing is that I want to contribute to the country and the people, and you and the 29th Army have always been admired by me - this sounds a bit like a slogan, very empty, but I dare to ask myself, this is what I say in my heart." Song Gong, I know that during your time in Tianjin, you are just a false and wrongful snake with those traitors, and it is not easy for the brothers of the 29th Army, you just want everyone to live a better life and have less worries when killing devils - I can understand this, and this is what I admire you the most. β
He said these words sincerely, and Song Zheyuan was also moved when he heard it, he didn't expect that the person who knew himself best in this world would be such an ignorant young man. However, after all, he is a person who has experienced strong winds and strong Lang, so he will naturally not be confused by these superficial things, and said: "We won't say much about the void, if the 29th Army really wants to go to Hebei, the person who initiated the invitation will not be you, right?" β
"Song Gong laughed, how can the kid be good? Of course, I'll do my best to make this happen, well, and if I do get to this point, I'll need you to do me a little favor. β
"Huh?" Song Zheyuan responded, his face remained silent, and he secretly said in his heart: The conditions have been raised. After so many years in the officialdom and countless acquaintances, Song Zheyuan can be said to have cultivated well, so he naturally doesn't think that the other party is really helping him because of these righteous and bright reasons - people, they are always selfish.
So, two foxes, one old and one young, began to find their own needs - "I want to ask Song Gong to support me in ordering guns and ammunition, and in addition, to win over the student training class of the 25th Division." β
"It's easy to talk about guns, the training class of the 25th Division, Ouyang, I'll take care of it and call you Ouyang."
"It's an honor for the younger generations."
"The 25th Division and the 29th Army do not belong to the same command system, and it is unlikely that they will be dignitaries."
"Song Gong, according to the grapevine, the training class of the 25th Division will definitely be disbanded, the Japanese have requirements in this regard, if you disclose this news to the 25th Division, I think, for your old face, they will definitely sell this favor. Actually, I wanted that training class for the future of the 29th Army. β
"The future of the 29th Army?" This is a bit bigger, and Song Zheyuan suddenly wanted to laugh: This young man doesn't know how high the sky and how thick the earth is, what does the future of the 29th Army matter to him?
His expression was already what Ouyang Yun expected, and he was not in a hurry, he took out the two plagiarized designs, handed them over respectfully, and said: "These are some designs made by the younger generation when they were studying in the United States, thinking that one day they can make a modest contribution to improving the living conditions of the 29th Army." Now it seems that the future of the 29th Army rests on them, and the students in the training class are exactly the talents that the younger generation has in order to perfect these two designs. β
This is too arrogant, so arrogant that Song Zheyuan feels quite childish. However, in view of the young man's previous performance - the person who has gossip one by one and can kill even traitors easily, naturally will not be an idle person, he did not scoff at it, but looked at it seriously. I looked at it for a while, but I didn't see the reason, without it, there are too many professional terms on it, I can't understand it. Speaking of which, Song Zheyuan is worthy of being a handsome person who can control one side, he did not immediately make arbitrary conclusions because of his ignorance, but asked Guo Biao to invite a professional: "Biaozi, go and invite Mr. Jiang." β
Mr. Jiang's full name is Jiang Shuren, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-six years old, Song's staff, and has studied in France. He took a cursory look at the two designs, his gaze glued to them, and his eyes became hot. After reading it, he asked Song Zheyuan excitedly: "Song Gong, where did you get this baby?" β
"Baby?!" As soon as Song Zheyuan heard these two words coming out of his mouth, he couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Yun, and said in his heart that this young man was really not simple, seeing that Ouyang Yun was looking forward to having a god, and he looked full of confidence, so he pointed at him.
Jiang Shuren's burning gaze immediately took back from those few pieces of paper, threw it at Ouyang Yun, and asked eagerly: "This gentleman, who is the author of these two designs?" β
"Me."
"You!" Jiang Shuren's eyes widened, and he looked him up and down for a while, a little unbelievable - this young man was in his early twenties at best, with his academic qualifications, how could he design such a high-end product?! But when he met the other party's confident eyes, he didn't allow him not to withdraw his doubts, and said: "Mr. is talented, dare to ask the honorable name?" β
"Ouyang Yun."
"Ouyang Yun," Jiang Shuren whispered twice, feeling that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had heard it, and said in his heart that God would not die in my China, and our China could produce such talents, and asked, "Who did I learn from?" β
This is a high-level question, and it is the habitual thinking of a rigorous scholar - these two designs are too wide-ranging, and Ouyang Yun, a young man, wants to drum it up with his own strength, which is equivalent to a fantasy. Then, most likely, it was the light of a certain master who stood on the shoulders of giants and plucked these two stars.
Ouyang Yun secretly praised the other party's strength, and thought about the problem thoroughly, and he could immediately conclude that these two designs were not from his own hands, but for the traverser, it could not be looked at with the eyes of ordinary people. Plagiarism is shameless! But as a traverser, not shameless is not enough to be a genius, not shameless does not have groundbreaking superpowers - as one of the traversers, he had to go down shamelessly with the crowd - very modest, he said: "I studied in college in the United States for a few days. "It means we don't have any master guidance.
Jiang Shuren stood up in horror, looking at him like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, that joy - the word "genius" blurted out.
Genius! is so bright, Ouyang Yun is not shameless to the point of "no one before and no one after", so he is still shy.
Song Zheyuan had been watching the two perform with interest, and heard Jiang Shuren shout out "genius", and this genius had already indicated that he wanted to help himself and the 29th Army, he finally realized what he had gotten, and his attitude towards Ouyang Yun completely changed.
Jiang Shuren flipped through the two designs again and asked Ouyang Yun: "Mr. Ouyang, there seems to be some data in your design that has not been marked." β
"Yes, after all, it's my patent, and if it is stolen, it will be a big loss."
Jiang Shuren nodded in understanding and said, "I heard of penicillin when I was in France, it was the Englishman Alexander?" Fleming first discovered, at present, some foreign experts are still studying it, I did not expect that you have fully grasped its properties, if its efficacy is really as you said in your paper, then this will be a milestone in the history of human medicine...... Do you want to set up a factory in China? β
Jiang Shuren's words were weighty, and words like milestones appeared, although Song Zheyuan almost fell out of his eyes when he heard it, even Ouyang Yun was sweating profusely - shame, he originally thought that there was already a country in the world that could produce penicillin, but now he realized that this thing had just been discovered - hey, he is still a medical student, and he once wanted to hang a pot to help the world......
The ignorant are fearless, Ouyang Yun only deeply realized the true meaning of this sentence today, and the Great Khan secretly said that it seems that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, otherwise he doesn't know what kind of joke Lu Dao is going to make, this is to meet a man who knows the Tao of Penicillin, if he meets a layman, then wouldn't he play the piano to the cow with all his hard work? ! Calming down, he nodded, cast a grateful look at Jiang Shuren, and then said to Song Zheyuan: "I'm looking for Song Gonggong mainly for this matter, the multi-purpose vehicle is just that, once this plate of nicicillin is available, it will definitely be more expensive than gold, if you really open such a factory, without the protection of the army, I am afraid that it will be used by people with ill intentions." β
Jiang Shuren smiled: "Then why don't you cooperate directly with the national government?" β
Ouyang Yun sneered: "The national government? Do you still believe in it? I'm extremely distrustful of it anyway. β
Jiang Shuren's question is actually a temptation, after all, he relies on Song Zheyuan to eat. got a satisfactory answer, and he said to Song Zheyuan: "Song Gong, Shuren wants to congratulate you, if Mr. Ouyang can really cooperate with the 29th Army to set up a factory, the 29th Army will be equivalent to holding a money jar in the future." β
Song Zheyuan became excited, money jar, this is what the 29th Army lacks the most. Having money is equivalent to having good weapons and equipment, if the equipment of the 29th Army can be the same as that of the Japanese army, then-he is a little afraid to think about it, Jiang Shuren will not lie to him, however, he is still a little worried about Ouyang Yun's intentions, "Ouyang can cooperate with the 29th Army, it is a very good thing, Ouyang, mention your conditions!" In his opinion, the other party will definitely have conditions, and he made up his mind in his heart, as long as this condition is not too harsh, then accept it.
Things finally developed to the predetermined track according to his own ideas, Ouyang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced that he had made the right bet. He took a risk in today's move - if Song Zheyuan really vacillated in his stance on the Japanese, as history has said, then he would be in the mouth of a wolf today. Fortunately, history seems to have deceived him, which shows that no matter how wise historians are, they are still prone to errors when studying human nature.
He came to the 29th Army to cooperate, naturally there were conditions, but this condition was not a condition at all for Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army at this time - Ouyang Yun's conditions are very simple, and they can be summed up as a promise and a guarantee: the 29th Army must promise not to fight a civil war, resolutely resist Japan, and at the same time ensure the independence and security of subordinate enterprises. The promise must be published in the newspaper, and the guarantee requires signing an agreement with Ouyang Yun and providing the establishment of a regiment, which is called the "Cadet Corps".
Historically, the student corps of the 29th Army appeared after the 129th Movement, and now because of the appearance of Ouyang Yun, a little butterfly, she has stepped onto the stage of history in advance.
What kind of story will the Cadet Corps bring to China? Will it still be a tragedy?
