The strategic stalemate between the Jinling government and the Japanese army came from the Battle of Jiangcheng next summer, in which the Jinling government's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties, losing the ability to continue the large-scale offensive, and completely crushing Japan's arrogant ambition to quickly occupy China.

"Han Lin, the sales volume of drugs in our pharmaceutical factory is growing day by day, and the number of orders you send has reached the limit, breaking through the million dollar mark, and it is still being generated. I am afraid that the raw materials we have in reserve will not be able to support it for too long if we continue like this, and with the subsequent blockade of the Japanese army, we must have new arrangements. Perez said.

He had to admire Han Lin's strategic vision, he could predict the war between China and Japan, and he could also seize the production of rare strategic materials such as anti-inflammatory drugs.

"When all the funds are returned, I am going to open a new pharmaceutical factory in another place, located in Chuncheng, Yunnan Province, China, to unload goods from the port of Gui Province, and make sure that the machinery and equipment are transported to the designated place in the shortest possible time." Han Lin took out the map and said.

"Why in such a remote location?" Perez didn't understand.

"Because in consideration of the blockade by the Japanese army, the Jinling government is about to have a road from Spring City to Yangon Port in Burma, which will be built next month, and this road will become the most important transportation route at that time, avoiding the blockade of the Japanese army." Han Lin said with a smile.

"Since there are such transportation conditions and can evade the blockade of the Japanese, what are you waiting for, I will immediately send a telegram to order more machinery and equipment, order more raw materials, and then hire a group of technicians from the United States with high salaries, and select a group of skilled workers to go over, I have always been convinced of your decision, looking at the snowflake-like order, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams." Perez said with a smile.

Although he worked part-time as an informant for the US Naval Intelligence Agency, he was essentially a capitalist businessman through and through, and making money came first.

Seeing that sulfonamide anti-inflammatory drugs could bring huge profits to themselves in the war between China and Japan, and had an amazing market demand, the prospects were very optimistic, and he was immediately willing to invest more money in the construction of a new pharmaceutical factory.

Han Lin has a keen sense of smell and terrible insight into the market, and since Han Lin chose Spring City to build a new pharmaceutical factory, it must be the most suitable place.

"Boss, there are rumors outside that our army can't resist the Japanese army and will be withdrawing from Shanghai in the near future, is this true?"

As soon as Han Lin sent Smith and Perez away, he heard someone talking behind his back, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Qian, who had just joined the club.

"There is no precipitous terrain in Shanghai to defend, our weapons and equipment are far behind the Japanese invaders, the other side still has the support of fleet and aircraft, and in these three months of operations, at least more than 200,000 officers and men have died heroically; under such circumstances, evacuation is inevitable, and the war cannot be regarded as the gains and losses of one city or one place, and what the Japanese want is the whole of China."

"But we must have enough confidence in the victory of the war, China will never perish because of the war of aggression launched by Japan, and we will not become slaves of the country, but there will be a long period of difficult days to live. The concession area is still very safe, Japan does not dare to engage in military confrontation with Britain and the United States at present, you should not leave the concession, and it is best to stay in the club and wait until the end of this battle in Shanghai. ”

"The concession is a century-old humiliation inflicted on China by the Western powers, and now we have to rely on the concession to protect our own security, which is a great irony! Life still has to go on, it is impossible for everyone to pick up a gun and go to the battlefield, the Japanese occupy the Chinese border, and the concession area will become an isolated island in Shanghai and become a deformed prosperous area. Han Lin said.

"With a boss like you, we're not afraid of anything!" Wang Qi said.

In order to protect the public concession and the French concession during the chaotic period, with Han Lin's efforts, the guards of the patrol house were added to the surroundings, the first battalion of the French army dispatch army stationed in Shanghai had a company of troops around to maintain order, and the plainclothes gendarmerie group of the gendarmerie headquarters was also sent inside, which was secretly transferred by Han Lin from Jinling.

Commissary point of contact.

Shen Qingfeng, Lu Fengchun and Guo Zhenghong are in a meeting.

"The higher-level leaders sent a secret telegram that we were seriously short of medicines in the battle with the Japanese army, and asked the comrades in Shanghai to find ways to mobilize the masses to raise funds for the troops, especially the most effective anti-inflammatory drugs at present. Comrades in the army of the Jinling government reported to their superiors that sulfonamides were able to prevent and treat wound infections with very good results. ”

"I have also heard reports from other comrades about this drug, it is said to be a new anti-inflammatory drug made in the United States, and there is no substitute for it for the time being, and this drug has been secretly produced in Shanghai, but most of the orders from the pharmaceutical factory have been given to the army of the Jinling government, and a small part has flowed into the black market."

"The Japanese bombed civilian areas, many injured people, rich people rushed to buy, the price of medicine skyrocketed, a few days ago the black market cost three yuan for a piece, a bottle of 100 tablets sold for 300 yuan, the injection is even more expensive, one cost 60 or 70 yuan." Shen Qingfeng said with a frown.

"Is there a pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai that produces sulfonamides? This is good news for us, the drug has achieved localized production, at least it can be bought, didn't Comrade Huang Croaker support us 50,000 fiat currency last time? Guo Zhenghong asked.

"After a long period of encirclement and suppression, my hometown has just stabilized in Yanzhou, and I am about to start fighting the Japanese army, and all kinds of materials are extremely scarce, so I was ordered to purchase some materials and transport them to the base area, and handed over 20,000 yuan in cash to the higher departments, and the life of my hometown is even more difficult than ours."

"We have formed cooperation with the Jinling government, and we need to set up offices in Jinling and other places, which also requires a large amount of funds, and when Comrade Farmer went to Jinling some time ago, he took some of it with him, and now I still have a few thousand yuan left in my hand, which also includes our activity funds."

"The key at the moment is that the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the environment has improved slightly, we have brainstormed to mobilize the progressives and revolutionary masses in Shanghai, and we can still get some money, but buying medicine from the black market will not work, and the high price will scare people to death, so we need to find a suitable channel." Shen Qingfeng shook his head and said.

"Do you want to take the initiative to contact Comrade Huang Yu, maybe he has such a way?" Guo Zhenghong asked.

"I think it's best not to do this, when Comrade Nongfu went to Jinling, he specifically told me about his situation, and our party organization in Shanghai, unless it is a major situation as a last resort, must not easily have direct contact with Comrade Huang Yu, which may bring him risks."

"We told him about the difficulty of procuring sulfonamides, and perhaps Comrade Huang Yu would have misunderstood and thought that we were seeking financial assistance, which also put a lot of pressure on him, and it would not be good to do this." Shen Qingfeng said.
