"Let's go!"

Smoke carries the port.

Under the urging of a group of guards like a plague god, Vice Admiral Tada, who was scolding and even disrespectful to the locusts, boarded the transport ship and entered the room specially prepared for him.

With the sound of the whistle,

The transport ship left the port and sailed to the mainland.

After the transport ship entered the fairway, a cruiser also approached the transport ship, accompanying the escort.

At this point,

In the sky, more than a dozen devil planes patrol back and forth to ensure that the sky is worry-free.

"General."

An hour later, when the transport ship entered the main channel, the officers and soldiers of the Devil Guards who were escorting them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded Tada Jun, who was still manic:

"We're safe."

Although the earth is very strong, all kinds of advanced weapons emerge in an endless stream, and the funds are abundant, so that the imperial finance ministers are jealous.

But now it's in the ocean,

This is the territory defended by the empire's more than 70 million citizens who have worked hard and reduced food and clothing, and spent more than half a century to build the world's third combined fleet.

It is the racetrack of the Empire.

It's not a place where you don't even have a sampan, and it's a place where the dirt eight roads can touch.

"Really?"

Tadajun's mood suddenly improved a lot.

It's already in the ocean.

According to the plan, he would next pass through the Yellow Sea, the Sea of Japan, which the Empire regarded as a racecourse, and finally reach the mainland.

If he can go back and arrive on the mainland, it will be a great thing.

It's better to die than to live.

But if he is killed by the Eighth Route Army in the sea area, in this Imperial Racecourse, it shows that the Eighth Route Army has the strength to threaten the Imperial Combined Fleet - it is not a bad thing.

Those important ministers who treat him as a pawn must have a great headache and even panic.

"Yo Si."

Tada Jun couldn't help but applaud.

···

“！”

"Yaga!"

Seeing that the transport ship and the Tenryu-class cruiser left the port smoothly and entered the ocean, the situation was still calm.

smoke lifting,

The Montenegrin staff officer on the shore frowned deeply.

Montenegrin Staff Officer, Naval Elite Staff Officer of the First Fleet of the Combined Fleet, and Yamamoto Isoroku's right-hand man, if it weren't for seniority, I am afraid that he would have served as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Fleet.

This time, Yamamoto Isoroku specially sent him to investigate the situation on land.

After a detailed analysis of the technical level of weapons of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the three recent bombings of the headquarters of the North China Front Army in the Northern Appraisal Zone, Montenegro, who was quite familiar with technology, realized one thing.

This group of unknown and mysterious forces entrenched in North China may be even more terrifying than the General Staff Headquarters expected.

This attack on Tada Jun, if it happened in the port, would be fine, indicating that the locust army can still cope with the current technical ability.

If it happens at sea, it is even really as the newspapers say, near the mainland, or even on the mainland.

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped from the back of the Montenegrin staff officer.

In his opinion,

This is even more serious than the destruction of the Nagato.

"Report to Commander Yamamoto."

I hope nothing happens along the way... While praying in his heart, he hurriedly ran to the communication room and sent a report to Commander Yamamoto Isoroku.

meanwhile

In a hilltop haystack five kilometers away from Yanjiao Port, Qian Dayun retrieved his binoculars, ran quickly back to the thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain, turned out the radio station from the cellar, spread the waterproof and moisture-proof membrane, and turned on the radio station.

A minute later,

A telegram, carrying classified information, flew towards the station of the Separate Regiment.

···

"Return."

An hour later.

Sea of Japan.

Inside the bridge of the Nagato, Captain Hattorizo gave the order to retreat.

"Return?"

Inside the bridge, the staff officers of the accompanying naval ships were stunned.

Isn't their mission to escort the transport ship that transports Tada?

Although they are also reluctant to escort army horse manure,

But this mission is a joint order from the base camp, the prime minister, and the Navy headquarters, unless they really want to break with the army's horse manure or even go to war, they have to carry out this order.

Fortunately, the superiors did not let them accompany the escort, but only asked the Nagato to go out to conduct deterrent patrols on the operational channel of the transport ship transporting Tada Jun.

"This is Commander Yamamoto's order."

The captain said.

Actually, he didn't understand either.

Although Hattori Oza is the captain of the Nagato, his military rank is not high, he is just a big one, and he has no access to the strategy at the top, and naturally he will not understand the thoughts of the devil's high-level.

"Hey!"

Hearing that it was Yamamoto Fifty-six's order, the devils in the bridge were no longer confused, and began to carry out the order one after another.

Not long after,

The Nagato, the most powerful devil ship at the moment, even among the top three in the world, crossed an arc and began to return.

···

"Didn't you do it at the port?"

Meanwhile.

White House.

President Franklin, who heard the news, also sighed.

In fact, he hoped that the mysterious forces would act in the port and kill Tada Jun, some kind of devil officer.

Because once you get your hands on the sea,

The sinking of Japanese warships in the Yellow Sea, or even in the Sea of Japan, would mean that the pattern of naval warfare would change from then on.

"Yes."

Donovan nodded in reply.

"I see!"

Franklin waved his hand and motioned for Donovan to leave.

Then he said to his secretary:

"Go and call the Secretary of the Admiralty."

Not long after, the Secretary of the Navy of the United States, Frank Locks, arrived at the White House and came to the president's office.

"The situation is so dire?"

Franklin gets straight to the point.

According to Frank Locks' report,

The Naval Research Institute, which studied the materials of the attacks on the three commands of the Japanese, combined with the study of the technical department of the captured enemy radio stations, weapons and equipment, etc.

The conclusions of the laboratories within the United Nations, the Institute of Military Studies.

The level of science and technology of the mysterious forces is about twenty-five to thirty-five years more advanced than that of the United States, and it is possible that it may even be forty years.

Such a huge gap in science and technology will inevitably form a weapon generation gap.

"It's very grim."

Frank Locks said in a solemn tone:

"They don't have a platform for weapons at sea, whether it's a submarine or a warship, that's absolutely certain."

"And this time the Japanese are shipping personnel organized from the mainland, and there can be no hidden spy assassination targets, so they can only launch attacks through the air."

"Although the accompanying Tenryu-class cruisers had poor performance, they had strong air defense."

"And."

"According to the deciphered telegram, the Japanese not only dispatched the Nagato-class, with a perimeter of two hundred kilometers, but also a small aircraft carrier with more than twenty fighters."

"There are also a large number of water reconnaissance aircraft on the nearby islands."

"The most important thing is that right now, whether it's the Yellow Sea, or the Sea of Japan, it's very unsettled, with a lot of thunderclouds."

"If the Eighth Route Army wants to kill Tada Jun, it must take off from the airfield far from their base area, cross nearly 2,300 kilometers of airspace, and arrive at the sea area with complex meteorological conditions, so as to launch an attack on the devil warship with a certain air defense capability."

"If it can really succeed, then it will inevitably revolutionize naval warfare."

"Just like the battleship that the British took out more than forty years ago, and the battle the year before, the sinking of an Italian warship by torpedoes, it was an epoch-making and complete innovation in naval tactics."

"We may not even have the means to defend ourselves."

"Because we have a technological gap with this mysterious force for more than 35 years, or even more."

"It's like, put the fleet of Iowa-class battleships in the Russo-Japanese War."

After hearing Frank Locks' return, Franklin fell silent for a while.

The Iowa-class fleet that brought down the Russo-Japanese War?

Two Iowa-class ships can completely destroy the fleet of Japan and Russia,

If you bring a few accompanying destroyers, cruisers, and an aircraft carrier, you can still be unscathed by virtue of reconnaissance capabilities, speed, maneuverability, and fire control reconnaissance capabilities.

"Is there such a big gap?"

Franklin sighed.

He expected the gap to be big, but he didn't arrive first, the gap was so big.

"Yes, that's the gap."

Frank Locks' tone became more solemn:

"Although at the moment we have only been given some light weapons, a few radios, some medicines."

"But you know, Mr. President."

"These captured rifles, bullets, grenades, mortars, their manufacturing accuracy, is comparable to our country's top precision manufacturing process, or even better."

"China's top precision manufacturing, only comparable to the other party's ordinary technology level, it is clear that there is an irreparable gap between our country and the other party's manufacturing process."

"There are also materials, my country's excellent artillery steel is not as good as the artillery steel used in the barrel of the opponent's mortar."

"Whether it is materials or the level of basic industrial manufacturing, it is the foundation of all science and technology, and it is also the most difficult to improve."

"And those incredible medicines."

"This is not something that can only be done by one or two companies or two days, there must be a complete set of education, scientific research, and factory groups to do it, and only state-level forces, and it must be state-level forces at the level of great powers."

"Mr. President."

Saying this, Frank Locks stood up directly:

"We are facing an enemy whose scientific and technological level exceeds that of our country for more than 30 years."

"And we, we don't even know where they are."

"The only good news at the moment is that the other side seems to have restrictions, or fear, and does not dare to show up directly, speculating that the scale of advanced weapons and equipment is not large enough to confront the global powers, in order to avoid being targeted by the world, so it is only now coming out."

"After all, there is no longer any possibility of reconciliation in the fighting in the European war zone, and the Western world has been torn apart and plunged into infighting."

"I see!"

Franklin nodded.

After the departure of the Minister of the Navy,

Mr. President took out a box of medicines from a drawer, a box of high blood pressure medicines imported from Zexian County, Southern Hebei Region.

Thanks to these expensive drugs,

His body is getting better day by day, he is sleeping better, and although he can't stand up, it doesn't prevent him from feeling better and better.

It's just that

This box of medicine is a good medicine for him, but for the United States, it is a first-class poison.

yes

Poison!

"Let the Minister of Health come over."

Franklin sighed.

···

"Mr. President."

The health secretary walked into the president's office and saw Franklin holding a bottle of high blood pressure medication.

This kind of import from Zexian County, the southern Hebei region of the Republic of China, the import price is 700 US dollars a bottle, and there are only seven pills in a bottle, and you can only use high blood pressure medicine for seven days.

One hundred dollars a day.

It costs $3,000 a month.

Again, this is the import price.

Even the richest country in the world, the United States, which has the most rich people, can afford this price less than one in a thousand, and maybe even one in five or six thousand.

In other words, only one out of every five or six thousand citizens of America can afford this price.

But he knew,

In the past three days, 5,000 bottles of this drug have been sold in the United States.

It is also because of this drug that Mr. President's health has improved a lot.

"Can we replicate these drug substitutions?"

The president gets straight to the point and gets straight to the point.

"Chlorpromazine and metformin tablets do."

"As for the 37 kinds of drugs such as high blood pressure drugs, it will not be possible in ten years."

The Minister of Health shook his head directly:

"Although we can find the specific ingredient structure of the drug in the instructions, if we want to produce it, the domestic process simply cannot meet the requirements of large-scale production."

"Moreover, even chlorpromazine and metformin tablets will take about three years to be officially produced, and the quality is far inferior to imports."

"If you include the cost of the production line, the initial price is much higher than that of imports."

"After all, that Mr. George Galvin claims to be lowering these drugs to a box for one dollar."

"A box for a dollar."

Franklin muttered to himself.

As president, he doesn't have much feeling for George Galvin, a small businessman who has suddenly appeared in the political arena of several states recently.

Although this person has close ties with the gang in southern Hebei.

It is claimed that there will be a competition for the president in the future.

But whoever sits in this position in the United States cannot push the United States away, but will be pushed by the United States.

Although the president is the helmsman of the United States, the course of this huge ship has been determined by the huge intertwined interest groups in the country, and the helmsman can only make small adjustments.

If you want to reverse course, you will inevitably be expelled from interest groups.

"Can you block these drugs?"

After a moment of silence, Franklin asked.

These medicines,

These nearly 100 kinds of drugs are incredibly effective drugs.

is a lifesaver for the American people,

But also the poison of America.

Because in just this month, the United States spent 50 million dollars on these drugs.

In the southern Hebei region, more than 300 new drugs have been brought up, which can treat more than 150 kinds of diseases that cannot be solved by the current medical community, and alleviate more than 50 kinds of diseases that the current medical community cannot help.

According to estimates, in the end, the United States will spend $5 billion a year to buy various advanced drugs in the southern Hebei region, reaching one-fiftieth of its gross domestic product.

Judging from the fact that the price of drugs can be directly reduced by 20 times, the cost of drugs is probably very low.

It's so low that it's more than they think.

Profit isn't the trickiest part.

The most troublesome thing is that due to the complete occupation of the market, the domestic medical group has been hit hard, the capital chain has been broken, and the inability to develop new technologies has been incapacitated, and finally the domestic medical system has been occupied by foreign countries.

"I can't."

The Minister of Health shook his head directly:

"Unless, you don't care about the voices of more than 30 million patients in the country, and you can completely suppress them."

This is why that George Galvin was able to achieve such great political fame in just one month.

Who doesn't get sick?

And, who doesn't get sick?

No matter who you are, you want to get the best treatment when you are sick, or when your family is sick, and you can get cheap medicines that work well.

Most importantly, George Galvin did it directly.

"Are you worried about the high cost of medical care?"

The Minister of Health said:

"We can send people to lobby those in power in the southern Hebei region, especially that Dean Liu."

"He studied in my country."

"Recently, this person has promoted the price reduction of metformin and chlorpromazine, which has been directly reduced by 20 times, this person is a pure doctor, and he has a huge influence."

“·····”

Franklin did not speak for a moment, but looked at his Minister of Health with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

The Minister of Health was startled by the way his own president looked at him like a stranger.

"Hehe..."

Thinking that the Minister of Medical Care had been promoted by himself and lacked political experience, Mr. President shook his head and said:

"Do you think that he pushed for the price reduction of drugs out of the doctor's psychology of saving lives?"

As soon as the question came up, the Minister of Health was immediately silent.

Although he lacks political experience, after so many years of doctors, he also knows very well that there are doctors who are dedicated to saving lives and helping the wounded, and there are many, but those who can go to the top ... Absolutely nothing.

That Dean Liu, how could he be a pure doctor if he could have such great influence?

"Promoting drug price reductions is a means, not an end."

Mr. President reminded.

He had to admit that this hand was powerful.

It not only satisfies the hearts of idealized medical workers, absorbs a lot of talents, but also completes the heavy blow to the medical community in the United States, and even attracts a wave of popularity in the United States.

Nowadays, many people in China have great respect for President Liu, who is more than 10,000 kilometers away to promote medical price reduction.

Even, I have a good impression of that group of forces.

"Purpose!"

The Minister of Medical Care was silent.

Reduced prices for medicines.

If the price of chlorpromazine and metformin tablets, which are needed by the public, is reduced on a large scale, then it is impossible to organize production in China.

The market is still forever controlled by someone else.

It's just that

Under the influence of the wave of several states, even drug tariffs did not dare to increase.

Of course, there are also reasons why there is no way to add it, after all, drugs are difficult to block, smuggling is too simple, and the market demand is too large, and after the blockade, there is no substitute.

"Go figure it out."

Franklin waved his hand and said:

"Don't let the health of the American people be in the hands of others, especially hostile forces."

"Yes, Mr. President."

The Minister of Health sighed.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

These drugs are not even protected by patents, but so far, no company has produced them, and even laboratories have not succeeded.

The medicines are like this,

And according to that George Galvin, in the future, there will be advanced medical equipment in the United States?
