As the seat of the Shancheng government and the provincial government of Yunnan Province, Chuncheng is naturally one of the most important core cities in the southwest, with a population of more than 200,000. Why so little? During this period, the urban area and the surrounding counties were not the same thing, and Chuncheng City was a municipality directly under the provincial government.

After the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, factories and schools in other places were relocated, and a large amount of capital, equipment and talents flowed into Spring City, which promoted the short-term prosperity of the economy. Since the Flying Tigers were stationed, Spring City was basically no longer bombed by Japanese planes, and the stability of social order also brought opportunities for development.

In view of the fact that Shancheng was continuously bombed by the Japanese army, the Shancheng government and the local bureaucratic capital of Yunnan Province used Shancheng as a new industrial base and invested in Chuncheng one after another, setting up and opening a large number of factories and enterprises, such as the Central Machinery Factory, the Copper Smelter, the Electric Power Factory, the Power Plant, the Wusan Arsenal, the Electric Power Steelmaking Factory, the Spinning Factory, and the Tobacco Factory.

In addition, Wujiaba Airport is also a key airport on the Hump route, and some of the American transport planes are directly unloaded at the airport, and some are transferred to Shancheng.

Han Lin set up the Chuncheng branch of Guangyuan Trading Company, the Chuncheng Tobacco Factory and the Chuncheng Pharmaceutical Factory in Chuncheng, and also set up a glass factory to manufacture glassware and medicine bottles used in medicines.

He made so much money, why is he still financially strained?

In the final analysis, the investment industry is too expensive, especially the pharmaceutical factory, until now they are still constantly investing money in it, and they are also a little stretched, but fortunately, with the upcoming mass production of penicillin, the situation will be greatly improved.

The air in Spring City is fresh, and Han Lin also gave himself a rare vacation, mainly because Smith was communicating with the U.S. Department of the Navy about penicillin.

Three days later, things finally had a clear outcome.

"The Naval Intelligence Agency sent me a telegram, first of all, to congratulate you on your major breakthrough in penicillin research and development, and to give high praise and gratitude to you for your willingness to license the use of penicillin mass production technology to pharmaceutical companies in the United States. The military thinks that you are true to your word, using the strains brought back from the United States, and not forgetting to give back to the United States, it will be a win-win result. ”

"Okay, then deal with it like this, I'll send a telegram to Perez immediately, and ask him to send the production raw materials together, the substitutes we use still limit the output after all." Without much thought, Han Lin agreed to this way of cooperation.

"This is during World War II, and the United States can't give you high patent fees, but Director Saulse communicated with the Admiralty and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and agreed to provide you with a large amount of special funds to solve your financial pressure, and use airplanes to transport materials used in the manufacture of fermenters, and send special technicians to Spring City to help us achieve mass production as soon as possible." Smith said.

"Your U.S. military is so generous, I'm afraid there are conditions attached, right?" Han Lin said with a smile.

"Of course, your thinking is getting closer and closer to the Americans, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff requires that the penicillin produced by the pharmaceutical factory must give a certain share to the US military stationed in India, and we will give a higher price than the domestic one. With the support of the U.S. military, this can also save you a lot of trouble, and when penicillin is on the market, it is estimated that many people will covet your industry. Smith said with a smile.

It is not easy for Americans to get money, and the seemingly lucrative conditions will definitely have additional requirements behind them.

In the future, he will need assistance from the United States in many places, and he must not cause friction between the two sides because of the penicillin issue, and he must take a more long-term view.

The Americans' express delivery was quite fast, a week later, the plane transported the raw materials for the manufacture of the fermentation tank to Chuncheng, which was to divide the fermentation tank into several sections, and then weld them together in Chuncheng, which greatly shortened the construction period.

The money printing machine, paper, printing raw materials and technicians that Han Lin needed also followed him to Chuncheng, and then took off again with full fuel and landed at Tanzhou Airport.

For this reason, Han Lin had to write a letter to the Aviation Committee, requesting that the runway of Yushan Airport be restored as soon as possible, and that transport planes be able to take off and land as the standard.

In December, Han Lin was still very satisfied with the work since the outbreak of the Pacific War in the past year, and thought that it was time to make a summary.

The headquarters of the secret service at No. 76 Jisfeier Road, the station of the Shanghai Experimental Zone.

"Xiyuan, in the past two days, I have seen Lin Lianzhi sneaky, often running to Wanlilang's office, what the hell is he doing?" Zhang Jinlu asked casually.

"I also noticed it, but I don't know what's going on, Wanlilang guards against me very well, and everything is operated in private. My subordinates said that the people in the secret stronghold of the Operations Section also came and went in a hurry, and they didn't know what they were secretly doing. ”

"According to this situation, I deduce that either I found the clues of the underground party, or I found the clues of the agents of the Yamashiro government, and usually only when dealing with major cases, this kind of strange performance is achieved." Zhou Xiyuan shook his head and said.

The secret stronghold of the so-called Operations Section is the former station of the Fourth Operations Brigade of Wanlilang, and the address is No. 818 on Yuyuan Road. After Wan Lilang became the head of the Shanghai Experimental Zone, he allocated this nest to the Operations Division, and the cells and interrogation rooms inside were very well equipped.

"You are the deputy district chief and the head of the intelligence section, second only to Wanlilang in terms of status, not to mention whether you can receive awards for meritorious service, you can't even solve internal problems, this is a bit unreasonable, right?"

Some time ago, the Japanese army carried out the operation of suppressing the guerrillas, and the stronghold of my Shanghai suburb group found that the people of the Operations Department actually appeared in Baihe Town, a suburb of Shanghai, and were active in my territory, I didn't know anything in advance, what did Wanlilang want to do? Do you suspect that I'm ventilating the news? Zhang Jinlu said very dissatisfied.

"Sister Zhang, don't worry, let's see, no matter how secretive you do, as long as there is action, there will be traces, if you want to block the news, dream!" Zhou Xiyuan said with a sneer.

With Li Shiqun stationed in Suzhou, the headquarters of the agents was relocated to Hangzhou, as the so-called no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, and the ambition of Wanli Lang in charge of the Shanghai Experimental Zone began to be gradually exposed.

Originally, Li Shiqun's design of the Shanghai Experimental Zone was not to give Wan Lilang the power to act arbitrarily, and Lin Zhijiang's action corps, Zhang Jinlu's investigation department, and Zhou Xiyuan's intelligence department formed a great constraint.

But after all, Li Shiqun and Fu Yewen are not in Shanghai, and Wan Lilang relies on the power of the district chief to constantly reduce the establishment and funds of other departments, and gradually intervenes in various departments, actively wooing traitors from the Military Command Bureau, and his strength is constantly expanding.

Wan Lilang's approach also forced Zhou Xiyuan, Zhang Jinlu, Lin Zhijiang and others to join forces to resist him, of course, they were all private confrontations, and the two sides were not yet ready to tear their faces.

"You have to solve the mystery quickly, the phenomenon of this operation department is very unusual, I suspect that Wan Lilang is going to make some big moves, if he makes a contribution to solving the big case and gets the support of the Japanese, our life in the Shanghai Experimental Zone will be even more difficult." Zhang Jinlu said.
