Ministry of Health and Welfare, Koizumi Kuhiko Office.

Koizumi sat expressionlessly in his office chair, holding a katana in one hand and a rag in the other.

In fact, from the moment he was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, when he calmed down, he found that the force behind this conspiracy was probably not from Fujita Kazukiyo, but from His Majesty the Emperor.

Without the acquiescence of His Majesty the Emperor, it would never be possible to do it with the power of Kazukiyo Fujita.

It's just that it's too late to wake up now, and I've been holding a fluke mentality for the past two days, and now it's time to abandon the last luck.

was arrested and put on trial and discredited, and if he was self-adjudicated, he could still save face.

"Long live the Emperor."

Put the knife on your abdomen and shout 'Long live the Emperor' to perform the final respects.

But he stopped.

He was still furious.

He was not convinced!

After working hard all his life to achieve the highest level of military doctors, why should he be made by a junior to be self-cut here?

"Ahh A low snort.

If it weren't for his family, he would definitely take Fujita and Kiyoshi away together, aggrieved.

With a hiss, Koizumi Kuhiko understood the true meaning of caesarean section.

"Self-cut? Okay, I see. ”

In the office of the Military Medical Bureau, Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows when he received the call, put down the phone and got up and walked to the wine cabinet, which had to be celebrated by opening a bottle of wine.

Koizumi Jiuhiko is considered a heinous crime, and if he dies, then the bacteriological unit he supported in the northeast, the leader of the military doctor Shiro Osai Ishii, has to find a way to clean it up.

Wait a few days, let him calm down the turmoil in the medical bureau first, and sort out the workflow first.

After the purge of power, the exchange of interests with the Konoe clan and the Minister of Health and Welfare began.

In fact, it is to let two good positions come out to their people inside, so that they can follow Zhou Qinghe and have a soup to drink in the Military Medical Bureau.

In the Ministry of Health and Welfare, they also reserved a place for the Yasuda family, and from today the Minister of Health and Welfare and the Yasuda family formed an alliance, and in the field of medicine, everyone advanced and retreated together.

The main reason for the deeper exchange was that the Minister of Health and Welfare was optimistic about the future development of Kazukiyo Fujita.

In essence, it can't be beaten.

Fujita and Kiyoshi are too young, they are not afraid of the opponent's official height, but they are afraid that the opponent's skills are still young in hand, which is not counted, and the backstage is still hard.

If Kazukiyo Fujita is 50 years old this year, as a surgeon, no matter how superb his medical skills are, no matter how much he blows the heart, when he is old, this medical skill will come to an end, and his power will not develop.

At the very least, it is impossible to shake the power accumulated by the Minister of Health and Welfare for so many years.

But Fujita Kazukiyo is not, he can work for another few decades at this age, and in the medical field in the future, what force can withstand the impact and efforts of the first person in surgery for decades?

The Minister of Health, as a person who controls the country's medical resources, has to consider whether the position under the ass can be stable even if he wants to arrange his own people to succeed him.

Therefore, when it is time to give way, you have to choose to give way.

If you can't fight, join in, get in the car early, so as not to even drink the soup in the future, everyone cooperates for a win-win situation, invests at both ends, and he is sure to make money and not lose money.

Of course, in the Medical Bureau, they are only responsible for eating meat and drinking soup, and they have all the right to speak, and unconditionally support all the resolutions of Fujita Kazukiyo, which is also the basis for everyone's cooperation.

Just eat meat, and then grab the right to speak, it won't be long-sighted.

The new chief of the military medical bureau was quickly appointed, and the Minister of Health and Welfare transferred people from the military hospital to act as mascots.

At the time when Zhou Qinghe rectified the internal affairs of the Military Medical Bureau, the promotion of the policies promulgated by the new prime minister also entered a climax period.

The annual expenditure of excess military spending is a hard expenditure, and the source of military spending must be found, and the money printing machine cannot be stopped for a moment, and the brush and brush are smoking.

And with the expansion of the war, the defeat of the war against the Soviet Union, and the heavy loss of equipment, this has increased military spending.

However, the domestic labor force was conscripted and sent to the front line, and the output value of various domestic industries, except for the military industry, can be said to have shrunk in a large area in all aspects, and the production of daily necessities has decreased sharply.

If there is less production, there will be less things on the market, foreign exchange will have long been exhausted, and there will be even fewer things that can be imported.

The consequence is that the money is still the money, and the price of things in the market is rising gradually.

Even by the sea to eat the sea, the price of fish that used to be fed to pigs has increased several times.

Money is worthless, and people's livelihood is withering.

In the evening, Kenichi Yasuda asked Zhou Qinghe to go back to dinner.

"Today, the cabinet met to discuss next year's military spending, and the military department asked for 6 billion."

"So much? Wasn't it more than 3 billion last year? Zhou Qinghe was shocked, this has doubled.

The lion is still more awesome in the military department with his mouth wide open.

Kenichi Yasuda shook his head and smiled slowly: "A plan is a plan, expenses are expenses, last year's more than 3 billion was the budget, in fact, it is estimated that it will cost 5 billion this year, and now it is a million troops, and next year will definitely be more, so the military department asked for 6 billion at one time." ”

"The Ministry of Finance took it out?"

"If you can't take it, you have to take it, and the military department said, 'An increase in military spending is a must!'" That must not change! Otherwise, the war will be lost, and Japan will never recover! You see, there is a point in what people say. ”

The war against the Soviet Union was hopeless in a short period of time, and it was necessary to wipe out the Chinese army and occupy all the land and resources, which was the key to Japan's take-off and solution to all domestic problems.

Therefore, the war cannot be stopped, and no matter how difficult it is for the Minister of Finance and the new Prime Minister, they must raise military spending, and they must not lose a cent.

"Promised?"

"It's almost there, what can I do if I don't agree?"

"That's the issuance of bonds?"

"Hmm."

"Huh." Zhou Qinghe sighed with a smile.

The loss of the anchor of precious metals, the absence of foreign exchange reserves, and the previous issuance of war treasury bonds have caused the domestic economy to enter a large inflationary cycle.

If so much money is printed, it is estimated that there will be hyperinflation in Japan.

"Your medical bureau should have a lot of points, how to spend the money, have you thought about it?" Kenichi Yasuda reminded with a smile.

"Then I'll have to think about it." Zhou Qinghe smiled.

It's really easy to get money, 6 billion, Zhou Qinghe, as a member of the Ministry of the Army, really has to think hard about how to spend this money.

Military spending can be cut in any department, but the military spending of the Military Medical Bureau can only be increased and not decreased.

There can be two fewer shells, how to reduce the cost of medicines?

Therefore, the Military Medical Bureau can get a lot of military expenses over the years.

After thinking about it, he said, "When the cabinet is finished, it's the Imperial Council, right?" ”

The final plan must have been for the emperor's nod.

"Yes." Kenichi Yasuda looked at Zhou Qinghe with interest when he heard this, "What's wrong?" What are the thoughts. ”

"Of course there are ideas, I'm thinking about it."

This is an opportunity, Zhou Qinghe has to think about it.

Now that the first step in controlling the power of the Medical Bureau has been completed, the next work plan will be divided into two steps, the first step is to let the drugs carefully produced by the Japanese people eventually flow to the anti-Japanese war area, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating the advantages of the other.

This is much more reliable than simply engaging in sabotage, such as producing counterfeit and shoddy products, causing poisoning and illness on the front line of the Japanese army.

The point is that there is no responsibility, so many departments are involved in the process of material transportation, and they are robbed in China, which has nothing to do with him.

This job is a long-term job, and it is easy to do, for example, you only need to tell Boss Dai the path information, under the one-line contact, even if the military commander is caught by mistake, there will be no information that can be pushed back to him, and the source can only be the mysterious military commander Dai Boss.

The second step is meritorious service.

The Military Medical Bureau has been won, and Fujita Kazukiyo's meritorious journey will continue, and it must be dazzling, and it must not be reduced to mediocrity just because of the position of a medical bureau.

If you want to make meritorious service to the Japanese and make great contributions, you have to spend more military spending, you have to make money, and you have to spend military expenses on the handle of the knife and the back of the knife, and in the end, you can't let the Japanese feel that Fujita Kazukiyo has spent the wrong money, and the feathers can't be dirty.

This kind of structure of doing things that is both necessary and necessary is still relatively difficult.

After thinking about what happened recently, Zhou Qinghe felt that this matter still had to start in the Northeast, and it just so happened that Shiro Ishii was shut down at the Bacteriological Research Institute in the Northeast first.

Public opinion is a good thing, especially the tongue of Britain and the United States, and when it is useful, it must be picked up and used.

Sending news to the British and American consulates, the Japanese army conducted human experiments on bacteria in the northeast, and due to improper preservation, tuberculosis bacteria leaked, which directly led to an outbreak of tuberculosis disease in the Kwantung Army and Mukden City.

The British and American consulates take it very seriously.

Although everyone has done research in this area, but in international morality, this is an absolute devilish act that must be sanctioned!

What if this thing is used on them one day?

When the news was sent to the international media, there was a global uproar, and this matter was easy to verify, because many countries had consulates in Manchuria, and the outbreak of tuberculosis combined with the movement and tension of the Japanese army in the city was a sure thing.

When the news came back to Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately refuted that the Japanese army would not conduct any human experiments, and this was completely a malicious slander by some people, and it was simply a maddening and shameless slander.

This time, there are no photos, no evidence, and there will be a war of words, and the final result will definitely be unresolved.

However, Zhou Qinghe's goal was achieved.

It's just an introduction.

Two days later, Zhou Qinghe went to visit Hirohito in the hospital on a daily basis.

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling today?" Zhou Qinghe asked while inspecting.

"With you to help me recover, of course I am getting better and better day by day." Hirohito recovered well, of course he was in a good mood, straightened his chest, and showed that he was already a giant who was already as tall as one meter and six three.

As for the news of human experiments in the newspapers, of course, he had seen it, but this matter was a matter for the military department, and it was also necessary for the war to study weapons of mass destruction.

He didn't think there was anything wrong, at most he had a brief moment of anger at the leak of the news, and scolded a few words about the Kwantung Army idiot, this kind of location can be known, and then forgotten.

It's not a big deal.

Zhou Qinghe didn't mention it, so he chatted casually and accompanied Hirohito to do recovery exercises.

After a while, the men came down to report.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting outside, do you think the meeting will be held now, or will it be over?"

In the past, this imperial meeting was held in the palace, but now Hirohito has been in the hospital room for a long time, so this imperial meeting has to be moved.

"Let them come in and talk about it." Hirohito now likes to stand and talk to people.

In the past, I didn't like to show my back, and I never took a sideways photo, but now it's different, 360 degrees without dead angles.

"Your Majesty." A group of ministers of the cabinet entered the cabinet and greeted each other, and then talked about the recent major events, mainly the matter of the military expenditure bill.

"We have had preliminary communication with the parliaments of the two houses, and they agree to this military bill, which is now submitted to His Majesty for approval, and if His Majesty agrees, we will submit it to the parliament for a full vote."

"So much" Hirohito frowned when he heard the figure of 6 billion, and the good mood of the day really began to disappear from seeing these old guys.

"The current situation in the country is very bad, don't you know, can't you cut a little bit where it is not necessary? How much is the national finance? 22 billion, you want to take away so much in one go, what should the country do? ”

"Part of it is raised from the private sector through the issuance of government bonds."

"Your Majesty, this is a must."

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance have so far agreed that the war must be carried out and that there is no other way.

Hirohito actually wants both to have and structure, and he wants to win, but he doesn't want to spend money, and it's best to make some money.

But now that I'm only concerned about spending money, it's uncomfortable to think about.

The result will not change, Hirohito pinched his nose and admitted the matter.

"The country has now been kidnapped by the military department!"

"These people in the military department really don't know how to save money!"

"Those idiots in the military department, if they didn't have to fight Wuhan, how could they put the country in a dilemma?"

As soon as the people left, Hirohito began to curse in front of Zhou Qinghe.

This saves Zhou Qinghe the step of taking the initiative to stir up trouble, just climb up the pole.

Hirohito was angry and didn't forget to keep exercising, after all, this is the most comforting thing for him now.

Zhou Qinghe said while commanding, "Your Majesty, open sources and reduce expenditure, I think that if the military spending on the military department has been overspending, we still have to find a way to make some money." ”

"How do you earn it?" Hirohito squinted, everyone knows how to make money, but the problem is that there is nowhere to make money now.

"Have you read the newspaper from the previous two days? It's about the Manchurian bacteriological troops. ”

"You know, what's wrong? That's not your responsibility, it's inherently there, the people of the Kwantung Army didn't do a good job of secrecy, it has nothing to do with you, you just tell them to do a good job of secrecy. ”

Hirohito also thought that Fujita Kazukiyo was afraid of being responsible, so he took the initiative to comfort this Aichen.

"At that time, this incident gave me some inspiration, and the matter of the bacteriological unit fermented in the international media, which led to a bad reputation in Japan, although they couldn't catch any evidence, but word of mouth didn't need evidence.

I was thinking, what the hell has this bacteriological army brought us? Is there a need for him to exist? ”

"Shouldn't it exist?" Hirohito asked.

"It should exist, and it's definitely good to study bacteria, but I think this force is going in the wrong direction." Zhou Qinghe raised his hand on the bed, "Your Majesty, sit down, I'll tell you." ”

Zhou Qinghe took out the diagnosis and treatment book and drew a picture on it.

"You see, this is this bacteriological unit, and its main job is to study some of the damage that bacteria act on the human body and a little bit of treatment.

It costs money and gives us a very bad reputation, but what about the effect? Judging from the role of the war report, it can only be said to be very ordinary.

I'll say two things, I saw the effect of this bacteriological unit when I was in Shanghai, and you should have the impression that there was cholera in the Shanghai dispatch army at that time, and our people suffered heavy losses, and it was actually their problem. ”

Hirohito nodded, this incident caused a great sensation at the time, and it was the first time that the bacteriological unit was exposed to the international community.

"The battle of Shanghai proved that these people are not only useless, but also brought harm to ourselves, why? Bacteria are uncontrollable, injuring 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 themselves, and maybe even the other way around, injuring 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 themselves, Shanghai is such an example. ”

"Hmm."

"And then the second example, our battle against the Soviet Union in Mongolia.

I read the battle report of the Military Medical Bureau, when the Kwantung Army went up, the poison gas bombs and bacteriological bombs of this unit also went up, and as you can see, their sense of presence was very weak, and they may have caused some casualties, but they can only be said to have no effect on the outcome of the battle.

This is what cannot be won on the frontal battlefield, and it is impossible to rely on them to win. ”

Hirohito nodded slightly, looking at Zhou Qinghe's drawing paper and frowning slightly.

Zhou Qinghe continued: "Then the other way around, that is, what I said about making money, bacteria have two sides, one is to harm, and the other is to eliminate.

Tuberculosis broke out in Manchuria, and these people were helpless.

What if the direction of their research is treatment, not harm?

Your Majesty, this is the point I want to tell you about making money. ”

"In terms of international relations, since the second Shanghai incident, our country has been effectively isolated by other countries in the international arena, and has been de facto sanctioned by some countries.

And with the progress of the war to this day, foreign exchange has been exhausted, military spending has been expanding, and we have no money.

But I don't think so.

We should upgrade the industry and create another way out. ”

"Industrial upgrading?" The turn was too fast, and Hirohito was a little confused.

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe nodded: "At present, our domestic dilemma is that as a large industrialized country, there are no raw materials, so that the domestic economy cannot rise and falls into a bottleneck period, which has caused turmoil in the domestic situation."

Fighting China is also about acquiring resources.

Then let's open another path, medicine.

At present, the bacteriological forces in Manchuria are studying how to make people die, how to make people die faster and more, so we turn around, we turn around, we are studying how to make people live, how to make people live longer and healthier.

For example, if the lungs of the land phase are not good, we can find a way to change him to a young and healthy lung, and if a person has a bad liver, we can change him to a young and healthy liver.

All organs in the body, as long as they can be replaced, we can study a set of replacement schemes.

On the road of medicine, as long as we can be the first in the world, then the rich and powerful people in the world will have this demand.

If we want to compare it with the infamy of the bacteriological troops in Manchuria, what we will gain is a steady stream of foreign exchange, foreigners come to us for medical treatment, doctors make money based on their skills, foreigners want our experience, and we export equipment to make money.

The bacteriological unit is infamous now, but it will be a good name in the future.

And for the Chinese battlefield, we are continuing to fight, this is one way, medicine, we are opening another way, this is the back road.

They spend money, we make money, even if they can't, we still have a way out.

And we have a convenience that other countries don't have, that is, organ sources, colonies, aren't these all free organs?

A liver costs $10,000, an arm costs $5,000, and a heart costs $100,000, once the industrial upgrading is successful, the rich people all over the world will have to beg us in Japan, the emperor, to give them a chance to live.

What sanctions? Some people will speak for us.

Let me give you an example, if I were a doctor in the United States, I could treat your spine and charge you 100,200,000 yuan, is it expensive?

You're willing to give out a million, right?

At that time, even if the industrial capacity is not good, the industrial chain of medicine alone will be enough for us to eat.

You can say that this tuberculosis, hundreds of millions of patients around the world, is increasing by hundreds of thousands, millions every year, if the direction of the bacteriological army is to develop drugs, 10 yen for a drug, 20 tablets for a course of treatment, this is 2 billion income.

If you don't get cured, you can't die just by taking medicine, and we control the rhythm of this recovery, which becomes an annual income of two billion.

The research and development of five drugs, 10 billion, 10 drugs, 20 billion, has equaled our national financial revenue, and this is the real harvest of the world.

A bunch of top chemistry and medicine students are consumed in Manchuria, do you think it's a waste?

And when it comes to benefits, Your Majesty the Emperor, people get sick, and I think this matter is the most direct benefit to you, and you are the first beneficiary of all the medical advances that have been studied, and any organ can be replaced, Emperor, long live. ”

There is no emperor in the whole world who refuses to live a long life, and it is because Hirohito's entire family is married close to each other to keep power, and Zhou Qinghe is sure that this thing will definitely work.

The principle of the minister, what you do now is not harmful to your Majesty, and you must be loyal and share your Majesty's worries.

I have to say that Hirohito listened very coolly, especially the sentence "People in Britain and the United States have to come and beg you to give them a chance to live", which is especially cool.

And the phrase long live the emperor brought this matter to the point of imperativeness.

This is definitely a good thing, taking out a useless bacteriological army top student in exchange for a group of medical top students who are proficient in human bacteriology.

Under the leadership of Kazukiyo Fujita, Hirohito felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter.

"Industrial upgrading, what do you want to do?"
