Chapter 249: The World's New Medicine-Dakini (Jet)
Nearly 10 years after the U.S. military invaded Afghanistan, it has been fighting with the Afghan Taliban (abbreviation: Atta) for several years.
Because these free and human rights soldiers from across the ocean finally understood the dilemma of the other two superpowers, that is, spending astronomical military spending, and thousands of lives, in the end, nothing was gained.
In the 70s of the last century, the Americans competed with the Celestial Empire and the Soviet Union for Vietnam, but that South Asian country was rich in products, high grain yields, and beautiful geographical environment, which was somewhat regarded as a piece of chicken ribs, and it was worth sucking on the lips of the Americans.
But what is the broken geography of Afghanistan where they are now? Dry land, barren mountain villages, and nothing are created, coupled with a fierce and unruly inhabitant. Except for throwing a handful of dollars into the water, not even a single sound can be heard.
Can you intimidate the Celestial Empire and Russia? This is a pure joke, the extremist country of Afghanistan is also a big blow to the Russian forces, and the United States has also solved a major threat to Russia. On the contrary, the cultivated East Turkistan elements can disgust the Celestial Empire, but it is limited to disgusting, and the cost and gain are not at the same level at all.
McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, was appointed as the top commander in Afghanistan in 2009, a thin white man who was a veteran of the military, looked at the piles of materials on the table with a worried face. Replacing his predecessor Fernand with his outstanding military achievements as commander of the U.S. Department of Special Operations, the lieutenant general has always considered himself a special strike expert. And it's not badly done.
U.S. President O'Hei took a fancy to this and put this person in the position that needed to be tested the most. One of his major tasks is to stabilize the law and order situation in Afghanistan and provide convenience for the US military to control it more effectively in the future.
Under the old man's stewardship, bureaucracy and clerical maneuver were swept away, and he set up a special task force to hunt down al-Qaeda top brass, and made extensive use of drones to "clear" targets to reduce casualties. This is coupled with efforts to train local military police. Ajia. By 2010, it seemed to have achieved good results. The Atta group focused its efforts on the local government and government forces, gradually abandoning direct conflict with NATO. Ju said that there were also informants who began to run around the two, intending to pimp and hook up with the two in bed to live a good life together.
The good days are approaching day by day. It seems that the model state of Central Asia can also be in place. The purpose of disgusting the Celestial Empire and Russia was largely achieved. Afghanistan has become an ideal paradise for the extremists of the East Turks of the Celestial Empire. Groups of people were fooled into coming to the "special operations camp" and wielding guns and sticks, intending to practice magical skills so that they could display their skills after returning to China.
I don't know what happened. Since last month, the law and order has become bad. In the past week, there have been more than 40 incidents of self-explosions, mainly aimed at NATO and the Afghan government. The death toll has exceeded 150 (the local people of Afghanistan were directly ignored by the general, and they would have to do more to do with the United States), and the number of wounded has reached an unprecedented number of more than 700, of which more than 100 will be disabled for life. This is physically crippled, and if you add to this the very likely "post-war syndrome", it is difficult to say how many normal the remaining six hundred people are.
In the United States, where the economy was not in a good situation, there was no way to get angry, but now there are signs of this, and yesterday a large march of 40,000 people took to the streets in Washington, D.C., strongly demanding that US troops withdraw from Afghanistan.
President O'Hei specially called, and his tone was all anxious and irritable, as a president from the Democratic Party, he was usually disgusted by the Republican members in Congress, and he was already angry and anxious. As a result, when I looked at it later, the original "model country" of Aguo actually made a big mess, with nearly 1,000 casualties in less than two weeks. Before they could figure out how to deal with the MPs and the media, tens of thousands of people had rushed to the capital to protest the day before.
Today it is 40,000 people, and the number of people is still coming, and tomorrow it will rise to 50,000 or more. Luckily, at the moment, the gang is fairly disciplined and there have been no clashes with the police, but if there were more people, it would not be necessary.
General McChrystal hung up the phone, his hands on his head, and now he had a terrible headache. Because it seems that Ye'an seems to have happened violently in a very short period of time, first the explosion of the military camp, the explosion of the official residence of the country, the explosion of the transportation line, and then the explosions in various locations.
At first, it seemed that Atta blew up an office building in the Afghan government and the offices of pro-government forces, and then these enraged forces began to fight back with AK47s and explosives packs.
Atta, Pashtun tribal forces, indigenous Mongolians, Tajik and other northern alliances, al-Qaeda, Wahhabi jihadist, etc., and even the remnants of the BJP, which was overthrown 20 years ago, are ready to join the carnival............
A bunch of crumbs! General McChrystal irritated and threw the Parker Memorial fountain pen on the table, pondering over and over again, which organization was the biggest black hand?
The "Didi" phone rang, and the general was really afraid of the phone calls these days, and there was basically no good thing, all the news of the explosion. He froze, picked up the phone, and asked in a soldier's calm tone:
"What's the matter?"
"General, it's Colonel Rownes from the Logistics Department, who called and said there was good news." The operator said respectfully.
The general's heart was relieved, and he could finally hear the news that a resident said was good news. Then he said, "Bring him in." ”
"General, we have received special approved medicines, all of which have reached Bagram Air Base, which is a special delivery of C17." Colonel Ron was talking, and the sound of planes taking off and landing could be heard through the microphone.
This batch of drugs is a new antibiotic, antiviral drug and a battlefield sedative - Dakini - specially ordered by the US military from Landpis Pharmaceutical. The first two drugs have long been used in the previous global plague pandemic, and are considered to be the two sharp swords of human beings against bacterial and viral infections. These two medicines, which the general had ordered before, were most popular. The new drug Dakini is the latest drug from Landpis Pharmaceuticals and is highly effective in treating headaches, muscle spasms and intestinal obstructions. Another effect is mental comfort, which calms the user for a short time without causing damage to the nervous system and without causing mental dependence.
In animal trials, very large doses were used without significant damage, and in previous clinical trials, the results were well received. In pharmacological trials in South Asia and Africa, a large number of local users used it as a new era of aspirin. Including the symptoms of a cold, I also eat a tablet.
It was immediately launched in Europe and the United States. It was quickly recognized by doctors and patients. If it weren't for the strict FDA (drug management system), it is estimated that all of them would have to prescribe this miracle drug.
This batch of military-type drugs, with higher content and rapid dissolving effect, allowed soldiers to obtain a good psychotropic drug other than mephi. Doctors consider the drug to be extremely addictive. So it was easy to prescribe when the soldiers asked for it.
"Yay. This is really good news. General McChrystal smiled. Glancing at the box of dakinis on the table, he was also taking the drug. It worked well, at least it survived headaches and colds during these bad days.
Thousands of kilometers away, the party for the people sincerely praised: "This batch of orders is really good news." ”
The executives of Landpis Pharmaceutical on the electronic screen were all smiling. The U.S. military's massive order of about $1.1 billion is not only an economic achievement, but also a political achievement.
Economic success is a huge profit margin, and these people know how much they cost. It stands to reason that any new drug is purely invested in the development period, and each drug is an investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars or more, but very few can be put on the market in the end.
So don't look at the huge profits made by drug giants in the years after the new drugs were launched, but also look at the previous investments.
It can start from a small pharmaceutical company, and the second generation of azithromycin in the product has been a huge success, and even the supporting antiviral drug anti-qi has also gained a huge share of sales. Even under the pressure of the government and the urging of public opinion, they have cross-granted patents with other drug giants, reducing some profits. The market that can grow out of thin air has also made them a soft start compared to the half-dead Indonesian marine mineral development company.
The party turned a Parker fountain pen around his fingers, and the fast-spinning barrel of the pen became a frantically rotating axle in a factory, where the raw material was nothing more than a medium of corn, grain, fungus, or manure at a cost of nearly zero. However, some technologies that are not complicated (relatively speaking, for underdeveloped countries, it is Zenith, and for the United States, it will be three years later) technologies have become more expensive drugs than gold.
Is there a cost to the previous study? Not at all. It's just a matter of taking some mature drugs from another world in the future and following the map. Therefore, it is even more possible to launder all the black income obtained, including the four billion dollars of several banks in the Grand Theft Auto world have basically been cashed out. Now it is important minerals that can continue to be black capital income.
"Although our dakini drug is sold at a lower price than azithromycin II, there is no interference from the geneamycin manufacturer, so we can get greater profit growth!" Ratwood, CEO of Landpis Pharmaceuticals. Brian's face was excited, and his skin turned red, like a prawn.
Looking at the heads and brains of the distant video conference, the party turned his eyes to the small medicine box in front of him, tore open the package, poured out a piece of medicine, and carefully examined it.
The name Dakini is taken from a character in Hindu mythology based on a malevolent female devil who was the attendant of the black goddess Kali. At the same time, it is also the Prajna in Vajrayana Buddhism, and some appear as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
However, it also has a name that has become famous in the world of the game "Fallout".
That's Jett (to be continued......)
