Chapter 1150: Mass production of penicillin
The headquarters of the Yamashiro Military Command Bureau.
Boss Dai is in a very good mood, and Lin Shiliang's corruption and smuggling case is finally about to go to trial.
He Shengrui, director of the Military Judge Enforcement Department, believes that the internal situation of this case is complicated, and there are many discussions about it in the outside world, and rumors are rife within the Shancheng government and among the people, and it has been decided to break the practice of military tribunals and hold an open trial of this case.
In addition to inviting the Executive Yuan and the Supervision Yuan to send personnel to the court to observe the trial, they were also specially ordered to join the Second Division of the Chamberlain's Office, the Ministry of Justice and Administration, the Transportation Control Bureau, the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and the Central Trust Bureau.
"Report, Lu Junhui sent an urgent telegram, saying that the information we gave to Li Shiqun was completely wrong, and the main force of the underground party guerrillas was not in Dajin Mountain, but near Guanyin Mountain. Pan Qiwu walked into the office with a telegram.
"What? Ruan Qingyuan, what are they doing to eat? I have repeatedly explained that I must be meticulous and precise, such an important matter, there is such an negligence, a bunch of fools! ”
"That's not right, the few broken guns of the underground party guerrillas, there are not many in Hanyang, and many people are still holding big knives and earthen guns, how can it be possible to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the two squadrons, when did they have such strong combat effectiveness?" Boss Dai was about to be furious, but then he showed a suspicious look.
He knew that the underground party was poor, could not have enough to eat, had no financial resources of its own, the arsenal was very rudimentary, and the weapons and equipment of the guerrillas were all seized from the Japanese puppets.
It's not a joke, if you can capture a 38-type rifle, it's like a baby, Hanyang makes this kind of old-fashioned rifle, and you can't do it for everyone, at least a third of the people still carry a big knife and a red tassel gun to fight against the Japanese puppet, and the simple one can't be more simple.
"Boss, this is what Li Shiqun said, the authenticity needs to be investigated, I estimate that it may be that the Japanese army is too light on the enemy, and was ambushed by the underground party and suffered great losses. But the inaccuracy of the intelligence seems to have caused Li Shiqun's misunderstanding, and then our cooperation will not be so smooth. Pan Qiwu said.
"The most troublesome thing for us is not to deal with Li Shiqun, but how I will report to the commission this time! He hoped that this time he could take the opportunity of the Japanese army's sweep to eradicate the underground party's base in the Maoshan area in one fell swoop, which is the scope of our Shancheng government's Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou fiscal and tax areas! Unexpectedly, in the end, this is the result. Boss Dai said helplessly.
"This is the cooperation between the Secret Service and the US Naval Intelligence Agency, and our Military Command Bureau can't wipe off the shit itself, so don't pay attention to these things. As for the Department of Military Justice, we must keep an eye on it, and when it comes to the final decisive moment, don't let the Kong family turn the tables. Dai Li said.
With such equipment, they dare not go head-to-head with the Japanese army, so where does the underground party guerrillas have the confidence?
"Our agents at the Spring City Airport report that Han Lin has arrived in Spring City! Colonel Smith of the US Embassy also arrived in Spring City at the same time, and it has been reported that the US side attaches great importance to the current technical cooperation with the Yamashiro Government, and a large number of supplies have arrived at the airport by plane, but no US military personnel have yet to arrive. Pan Qiwu said.
Although the Loyal National Salvation Army could not compare with the American-style equipment brigade of the guerrilla headquarters, at least one gun per person, it was also equipped with a lot of light machine guns, and even a small number of heavy machine guns and mortars.
Troublesome! The subordinate units of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui Border Guerrilla Command performed an outstanding performance in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, killing more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers and seizing a large amount of guns and ammunition, thus completely smashing the Japanese army's attempt.
In several county towns north of Hangzhou, fearing that they would be attacked by the guerrillas, the Japanese squadrons stationed there, after noticing the guerrillas' activities, actually withdrew, which also showed that the Japanese army was currently lacking in troops, and as a result, the area between Huzhou and Hangzhou became the territory of the guerrilla headquarters.
It is said that after receiving the report from the guerrilla headquarters, the committee was very happy and said that the guerrilla headquarters had taken the initiative to attack and recover the lost territory of the Shancheng government, and on this ground, it was even ready to upgrade the guerrilla headquarters to the guerrilla theater headquarters of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui.
After all, the commander of the guerrilla command is the eldest prince, and he has made a lot of rich military merits by sitting still in Qiancheng, and Han Lin has relied on this big tree to become increasingly stable in the Shancheng government and become the backbone of the prince's party.
To be honest, except for President Jiang's own thighs, there is nothing thicker than the thighs of the eldest son.
Spring City Han Lin office station.
This is a typical garden-style building complex, originally a wealthy merchant's house in Spring City, the area is very amazing, divided into five courtyards, and a well-arranged garden, which is full of flowers and trees, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, the scenery is very elegant, absolutely no less than Li Shiqun's Tianxiang small building.
This was the residence and office space that Yue Yingfeng had prepared for Han Lin, and there was a courtyard for the high-level dormitories of pharmaceutical factories and trading companies, and he usually lived here when he came to Spring City, but even so, the room was still eighty percent empty.
After getting off the plane at Wujiaba Airport, Han Lin and his attaché took the car of the local office and came to their station, where the temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius in early November, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
"Dear Mr. Han Lin, I need to congratulate you, the technicians of the Pharmaceutical Factory Research Institute, have tested your fermentation cultivation method, mastered the technology of how to obtain penicillin stably, as long as the raw materials can keep up, you can start mass production!" Smith gave Han Lin a hug in the living room.
The purpose of coming to Spring City this time, Han Lin was mainly to avoid the whirlpool of the mountain city, after all, Lin Shiliang's case was about to start the trial, and by the way, he went to the pharmaceutical factory to inspect the production and research and development of penicillin.
"It should be said that this is a great event for our three partners, and we have a good start, and the next thing is to consider how to mass production. I sent a telegram asking Perez to declare the production technology, and enlisted the help of the Naval Intelligence Agency, and with the technical information we provided, the pharmaceutical factory in Los Angeles was able to achieve mass production as soon as possible. Han Lin said with a smile.
As early as 1928, penicillin was discovered, and there is no dispute about this, and the strains used to cultivate penicillin in the institute were brought back from the United States.
Han Lin really didn't know how to make penicillin, but he knew that Pfizer had historically taken a great risk to produce penicillin using a very mature deep-tank fermentation method for producing citric acid, and it was put into production in March next year, and it is now under construction.
Fourteen huge 7,500-gallon fermenters can produce 45 million units per month, more than five times the original projection. It can be said that Pfizer made history, but now it is Han Lin who is the first to make history.
The Los Angeles pharmaceutical factory will be the first to produce penicillin in large quantities and seize the largest market share, so that the military will continue to receive orders, and the three of them will be able to make a huge fortune for it.
At the same time, the pharmaceutical factory in Spring City can also start mass production, and the fermentation tanks are easy to manufacture for Perez in Los Angeles, but it will take some time in China, but it is not a problem that cannot be solved.
"On the issue of penicillin, it was you and Perez who were operating, I didn't play any role, you actually gave me so much share, I am very ashamed, what needs me to do, although I told me that once penicillin is put into production, I will try to get the order from the Admiralty." Smith said.
