    Talking about the students who had been admitted to study abroad by the government, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered something and said: "Political Commissar, why are the American and British diplomatic attach¨¦s in China also here this time? This is a bit abnormal, and there are also those drug dealers here.  What are they doing? The sale of penicillin synthesis technology has been fully entrusted to the central government. What are they doing here?"

    Yang Zhen somewhat understood the true intention of these American and British diplomatic attach¨¦s who traveled thousands of miles and even took great risks to come to the Northeast. It was already early July and the Japanese troops were stationed in what was known as one of the three major Japanese military defeats during World War II.  The time for French Vietnam is quite near.

    Although the Japanese army has not yet begun to blatantly enter French colonies in Southeast Asia, the United States and Britain, especially in Southeast Asia, are concerned about the Japanese army's peek and penetration into French Southeast Asian colonies when France was defeated and the defense of Southeast Asia was extremely empty.  It is impossible for Britain, which has a large colony, to be unaware of it. Especially the British, whose noses are still very sensitive most of the time.

    The American and British military attach¨¦s stationed in China came to Northeast China this time. I am afraid that they were not only influenced by the battlefield documentary. The military attach¨¦s of the two countries, who despise the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, probably wanted to conduct an on-the-spot investigation. Moreover, this investigation,  It should be high-level officials from both countries.

    In particular, the British, who have always been extremely arrogant and prejudiced against the Chinese, did not forget to do evil things to China behind their backs even when they were in dire straits. I am afraid that when they came to the Northeast this time, they wanted to examine the true combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  , so that when necessary, when the situation in the Far East becomes increasingly complex, and the country itself is mired in the quagmire of the European war and has too much to take care of, it can act as a plug to block the bullet holes.

    As for the Americans, I am afraid that the Japanese threat has now been put on the table. They also have so-called interests in the Far East. Compared with the British, whose colonies are mainly threatened, the Americans, whose homeland is directly threatened by the now powerful Japanese navy,  I came here with the idea of ??finding an ally during the war.

    For the Americans, when the British can only put most of their strength in Europe and France has been defeated, they should be able to find an ally that can hold back the strength of the Japanese army and help them share the pressure of the Japanese army when the war breaks out in the future.  One thing that is worth celebrating is that he is an American, but Yang Zhen, an Englishman, really doesn't want to see him, and he feels even more disgusted in his heart.

    Yang Zhen pretended to be confused about the real intention of the visit of the military attach¨¦s from the two countries. In fact, it was not difficult to guess in his heart. What was this representative of an American pharmaceutical company doing all the way to the war-torn Northeast?  , there is no market they need here, and besides, haven¡¯t they entrusted the technology of penicillin synthesis to the central government with full authority? If they have anything to do, they can directly talk to the central government and ask themselves what to do.

    Li Yanping looked at Yang Zhen's confused expression, especially the tone in which he called the representatives of several large American pharmaceutical companies drug dealers. He couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "The American and British military attaches to China came to Northeast China this time because they wanted to  Let¡¯s take a look at the true combat effectiveness of our army.¡±

    "Lao Yang, don't you know that the Americans have imposed a trade embargo on the Japanese since the beginning of the month, which includes scrap steel, optical instruments, aircraft parts, metal processing equipment and any kind of weapons and ammunition that Japan urgently needs to maintain the war. At the same time,  Begin to provide partial financial assistance to the National Government.¡±

    "The central government agreed to the U.S. military attach¨¦ in China to come to the Northeast this time because it hopes that we can have a good talk with them so that we can secure some loans or assistance to ease the battlefield economy behind enemy lines in Northeast China when Jiangbei is unable to provide the assistance it needs.  The current situation of weak strength.¡±

    "The central government's intention is very clear, that is, not to put all eggs in one basket. Of course, the central government also hopes that we can take this opportunity to purchase some military equipment from the Americans to strengthen our military industry strength. Before I come back  , the chairman came to talk to me and asked me to tell you something, 'Many friends, many roads.'"

    "As for those drug dealers you are talking about, they want to negotiate with you directly. Although the alliance of several pharmaceutical companies in the United States has agreed to acquire the extraction technology of penicillin and streptomycin, a specific drug for treating lung diseases, that we provide for a package of US$500 million, but  They hope that some of the funds can be provided through barter."

    "The Americans pointed out that they have just emerged from the economic crisis, and various large companies are still recovering. Although after their efforts, the U.S. government has agreed to provide partial loans, it is very difficult for them to come up with 500 million US dollars all at once, so they hope  In addition to being able to pay part of the money in cash, the rest can be offset by materials.¡±

    "The central government has considered it again and again and decided to let them negotiate with you in person. In the words of the central government, this is called a beginning and an end. However, the chairman believes that this negotiation is still related to obtaining US loans.It would be better to talk together and strive to resolve everything at once. In addition, the US and British embassies in China have expressed the hope of setting up a military liaison observation group in the Jidong Military Region, and the central government has agreed.  "

    "Lao Yang, after I said this, you should understand what the Central Committee means. The Central Committee wants to strive for international recognition of us as much as possible, and also try to win some foreign aid. The situation on the battlefield in Guan Guan is very complicated. Now the Central Committee  Our support is very much needed.¡±

    After listening to Li Yanping's words, Yang Zhen nodded slightly but then shook his head slightly and said: "Political Commissar, I went back to Jiamusi this time firstly to see you, and secondly to discuss the next battle plan with you and Lao Guo. The war is now going on.  Come on, I don¡¯t have time to argue with those foreign devils.¡±

    "However, these Americans don't want to pay all in cash. It should not only be because of insufficient funds. I'm afraid they also want us to spend all the money on Americans themselves, so that the money will not flow to outsiders. It's really easy to calculate.  , no wonder they can develop to such an extent and become the world¡¯s number one economic power within a few decades.¡±

    "In this case, you first discuss with the commander-in-chief and ask the Northeast Bureau to send someone to accompany them to visit the production and construction corps and the arsenal. However, they should not let them see the newly built fifth branch of the arsenal.  , we will keep the things produced there top secret for the time being.¡±

    "As for those drug dealers, let's do this. Lao Guo will be here soon. After we finish the combat meeting in the afternoon, I will take time to talk to them in the evening. But these people are all profiteers, treacherous and cunning. I am an honest man.  You, the political commissar, have to help me check this, so we don¡¯t let others fool us.¡±

    When Li Yanping heard what he said, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you were an honest person, there would be no treacherous people in the world. You are calculating and scheming. How many things have you obtained from Jiangbei before and after? Wasn't it all your scheming that time?"  Even in Jingui, the royalty technology for penicillin and streptomycin cannot be sold for the sky-high price of US$500 million."

    "You know, the C-47 transport aircraft manufactured by the Americans currently only costs US$50,000 each. US$500 million can be enough to purchase 10,000 such transport aircraft. Even before the war, the National Government had no customs revenue per year.  Five hundred million U.S. dollars, and you still say you are an honest person. Where in the world can I find an honest person like you who can rip off people like you?"

    "But don't you think about it? If these Americans really don't give in and insist on paying for things in kind, we can ask for something, especially those things that we urgently need. Don't imitate the National Government, you kid.  I bought a lot of foreign junk at a big price.¡±

    Regarding Li Yanping's cunning comments about him, Yang Zhen firmly refused to admit it: "Political Commissar, this is a matter of your position. You said my $500 million was expensive, but I thought it was cheaper. Special effects like penicillin  Antibiotics are still extracted from nature, and their quantity is scarce and their quality is unstable.¡±

    "I heard that the price of penicillin in the Guannai market has reached a price that can't be bought with one tael of gold. The artificial synthesis technology we have developed can quickly produce penicillin in large quantities. Even if the price is too high,  The production volume has declined, but the production volume has also increased. "

    "There is also streptomycin. This drug has special effects on tuberculosis bacteria. When used on a large scale, this drug can effectively treat tuberculosis and curb the malignant infectious disease of tuberculosis. These two drugs, to put it bluntly, are  It¡¯s all money. It¡¯s true that Americans are very rich, but they are not stupid. If they don¡¯t see the considerable economic value behind it, they will be willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy it.¡±

    "To introduce these two drugs now, they need to spend a lot of money, but in the near future, they will get more generous returns, especially penicillin, which can suppress sepsis and greatly reduce the number of casualties due to wounds.  The cost of special antibiotics to reduce infection mortality will probably not take more than a year after they are put into large-scale production. "

    Yang Zhen disagreed with Li Yanping's evaluation, but he didn't care about Li Yanping's worries and said: "Political commissar, I'm not prepared to let them pay all of them in cash for such a large sum of money. In this way,  Didn¡¯t they insist on paying only part of the money?¡±

    "This is okay, but the cash amount must not be less than 200 million U.S. dollars. This is the bottom line. As for the remaining 300 million U.S. dollars, materials can be used to pay for it. However, what this material is must be determined by us. We must not let them lead the nose.  Let¡¯s go, we only want the supplies we need most, we don¡¯t want the foreign garbage they sell, and our main focus must be on the introduction of the production line.¡±

    "Actually, I was mentally prepared before you went to the central government. If the United States does not accept our offer, we can first propose a way to pay for it with materials, but the central government canI did not expect that it would cost 500 million U.S. dollars. Although part of it would have to be paid for with materials, the result was somewhat beyond our imagination.  "

    "With this money, we can do things that we couldn't do before. If the Jiangbei tank production line cannot be negotiated, we can buy it with US dollars in cash. This purely commercial negotiation with the Americans,  For those of us who are pure soldiers, it is both a challenge and a rare opportunity. We must take advantage of this rare opportunity to build our own industrial base. "
