Chapter 202: After cheating the British Army, let’s cheat the American Army! (First update!)
Looking at Cun Yunsheng's angry expression, Meng Fan was confused.
He was very curious about how his regimental commander was going to trick Stilwell.
Or how to cheat the Americans?
As if he could see the confusion in Meng Fan's heart, Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
"These white pigs always maintain their arrogance no matter what time it is."
“I don’t know where the confidence comes from.”
Meng Fanle explained.
"After all, their industry is so developed and their strength is much stronger than ours."
"That makes sense. I was originally hesitant about whether to reveal something to the Japanese army and strengthen their strength. Now it seems that I really need to give them some information."
Originally, he was still struggling over whether or not to strengthen the Japanese army.
Now it seems that there is no need to think about it at all, we must strengthen our strength.
Make it more difficult for the US military to pass through customs.
Otherwise, once the Japanese army is no longer blocking the way, he as a chess piece will probably not be of much use.
The main reason is that the Japanese army did not live up to expectations.
After the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army began to go downhill, with insufficient offense and passive defense.
Especially due to the lack of supplies, many Japanese troops guarding the island fought on an empty stomach.
At this moment, the Japanese army was preparing for the Battle of Guadalcanal.
This was an important battle. If the Japanese army lost, the entire army would collapse.
It was also the battle in which five-star General MacArthur rose to prominence.
After that, the Japanese army could no longer stop the US offensive.
Therefore, if the Sichuan Army wants to continue to live a comfortable life, it has to find a way to trick the US military and keep the war intense.
But when he thought of Japan and the conflicts between the sea and the land, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, I remembered a poem.
The steel torrent is like vodka, the Kanto red deer are crushed into slag, the Heihe era knows nothing of the hatred of the Showa era, and Katyusha is still being sung across the river.
This poem fully reflects the contradictions between the Japanese navy and the army.
After the Japanese army suffered a heavy loss, the naval generals set off fireworks at sea to celebrate.
There was no thought of revenge at all.
They even happily went south to attack the South Pacific islands.
Later, the army was sent to an uninhabited island under the fire of the US military.
As a result, these Japanese troops were not killed by the US military, but starved to death.
The last time a navy warship was sunk by an army fighter plane, the navy did not think of revenge at the first time, but instead blamed the army for losing so many fighter planes.
The army accused the navy's warships of being a pile of scrap metal that could not withstand the bombing of the army's fighter planes.
Anyway, they just focus on one thing and blame each other.
Therefore, it is not so easy for Cun Yunsheng to strengthen the strength of the Japanese army.
But it won’t work if we don’t strengthen it.
He could see that Stilwell's attitude was beginning to change.
Especially after the Battle of Midway, the US military's advantage became increasingly greater.
Therefore, the degree of reliance on the Sichuan Army must begin to decrease.
The reason why it can still be tolerated at the moment is purely because the Japanese army is still very powerful and someone is needed to share some of the pressure. Once the Japanese army declines, the Sichuan Army will no longer be of any value.
Cun Yunsheng doesn't have much good feelings towards these white pigs.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.
Let the Japanese army and the American people fight to the death.
Just like he said before.
The Japanese army is a beast, and the British army is not a good thing either.
On the contrary, the US military is not a good thing either.
The best ending is that they bleed to the last drop of blood together.
"Commander, how do you plan to strengthen the strength of the Japanese army?" Meng Fan asked curiously.
After all, what they can give now is really too little, and the Japanese army may not be interested in American equipment.
Could it be that he was giving information again?
What kind of intelligence could greatly increase the strength of the Japanese army in a very short period of time?
To be honest, Meng Fanle was really curious.
Who knows? Cun Yunsheng pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything.
In fact, the information he wanted to provide was the location of the main force of the US Pacific Fleet.
I believe that after the Japanese army obtains this information, they will definitely take action.
As for sinking the entire Pacific Fleet, what consequences would that have?
Do not!
There will be no consequences at all.
Because, at this time, America's industrial strength was about to reach its peak.
With an annual steel output of more than 80 million tons, an aircraft carrier can be launched in as fast as seven days. Even for a heavy aircraft carrier, the launching speed will not be slow.
Therefore, even if the entire Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, it would not have much impact.
A new fleet can be rebuilt in half a year at most.
These six months are not too long for America, but they are particularly important for the Sichuan Army.
With these six months, he has enough confidence to gain greater benefits.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng's heart was burning with excitement.
But before that, if you want to gain the trust of the Japanese army, you have to offer something valuable.
…………
"This is penicillin. I don't need to say much about its effects, right? I believe Mr. An has used it before?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Mr. An in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Thank you, sir. Without this medicine, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived." Some time ago, Mr. An caught a cold. At his age, it would be easy for him to be killed if he got sick.
When Cun Yunsheng found out about this, considering that this guy had made a significant contribution to the reconstruction of Lashio, he sent penicillin.
It is indeed a miracle drug.
The fever went away in one day.
It will be back to normal in three days.
Therefore, Mr. An is very concerned about this miracle medicine.
After some indirect inquiries, I learned that this drug is currently in the laboratory and has not yet been mass-produced.
I didn't expect it to be taken out now. Mr. An's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sir, do you mean to let the An family do the sales?"
“Has this miracle drug been mass-produced?”
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng knew what this guy was planning.
"The output has increased, but it cannot be fully popularized for the time being and can only be sold in small quantities." Cun Yunsheng said casually.
"Does Anjia have sales channels in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, we have certain business dealings with the Li family in Hong Kong. Do you want us to sell to Hong Kong?" Mr. An instantly guessed what Cun Yunsheng meant.
"Take a little first to test the market response. If it works, there will be more follow-up." An Jia was not suitable for delivering messages to the Japanese army.
Therefore, Cun Yunsheng planned to arrange someone to accompany the An family to Hong Kong, and when the time was right, reveal the information to the Japanese army.
The reason for this can definitely be revealed to the Japanese army.
That's because the Japanese army would definitely be attracted by penicillin, a miracle drug on the battlefield. With Japan's ability, as long as they knew the process, they could complete the imitation in a short time.
At most, the drug's craftsmanship will be worse and the effect will be weaker, but it is still several times stronger than drugs such as sulfonamide.
In addition to intelligence, penicillin was also used to increase the strength of the Japanese army.
This thing is not that complicated to imitate, as long as the major powers are willing to put in some effort, they can make it.
After all, the paper has been published for more than ten years, and it is only the process that limits the output.
In the ensuing battle for the islands, the Japanese veterans would suffer heavy losses.
There will soon be a lack of young and old soldiers, and penicillin can alleviate the shortage of veteran soldiers in the Japanese army to a certain extent.
After all, many times, wounded soldiers died from wound infections.
Penicillin is used specifically to treat wound infections.
He couldn't give anything else. The only things he could give, besides information, were penicillin.
Anyway, this thing has already started mass production, so there is no point in continuing to hold on to it.
Once this thing is launched on the market on a large scale, it will overwhelmingly reverse the downward trend.
So, after some weighing, he decided to take it out.
"Yes, is it about the price?" Mr. An asked nervously.
"It's worth more than gold, one stick is worth a large yellow croaker." Cun Yunsheng said lightly.
"The bottom line is a big yellow croaker. As for how the An family sells it, it's the An family's business. I don't care."
Hearing this, Mr. An took a deep breath.
I didn’t expect the price to be so high!
This is simply outrageous.
But considering the effect of this miracle drug, he could understand it.
After all, the effect is really strong.
Thinking of this, Mr. An patted his chest and said that he would definitely complete Cun Yunsheng's instructions.
In fact, the price of newly released penicillin was as heavy as gold. A box of six small bottles, each containing 50,000 units of penicillin, could be bought with a small yellow croaker.
But the penicillin that Cun Yunsheng brought out was obviously earlier than the penicillin in America.
So it is completely normal to bid higher, this is hunger marketing.
Who can blame the first person to try something new for making a fortune?
.........
Hong Kong in 1942 had already been occupied by the Japanese army, and the prosperous areas on the island were originally owned by the British.
Later, the Japanese navy moved south and this place was occupied by the Japanese army.
After all, the Japanese army had long coveted this wealthy place.
In the past, warlords who had stepped down from power in the inland, or some wealthy people who had fled, would try every means to buy houses in areas developed by the British, just to enjoy a good environment and good security.
After all, the British are very concerned about the governance of these wealthy places.
In addition to being a financial capital, it is also an intelligence capital, where all kinds of intelligence from the Far East converge.
It was precisely because of these wealthy people and the war that prices in Hong Kong skyrocketed, making life in the city miserable.
In addition, after the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, they exploited people, making life even more miserable.
Although ordinary people lived a miserable life, the rich lived quite well. Although the Japanese army occupied here, they did not carry out large-scale massacres due to considerations of the impact, so the overall Hong Kong economy was still good. Many black market smuggling ships docked here, and the Japanese army could also collect fees from this.
After all, no one wants to go against money.
The local tyrants in Hong Kong, apart from the British army, are some Chinese families.
For example, the Li family is the local tyrant in Hong Kong.
Even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
So even when the Japanese army came, the Li family lived a relatively good life and they were not troubled.
To put it bluntly, the rule of Hong Kong still requires the intervention of these big families.
However, Li's life was not easy during this period.
Because their smuggling volume has dropped a lot, their income has also dropped.
The brothers who followed them for food were also unable to fill their stomachs.
This made the person in charge of Li's company very distressed.
You have to know that the money earned from smuggling is not just for one person.
In addition to various expenses, a portion had to be handed over to the Japanese army.
Want to smuggle without the Japanese army’s approval?
Absolutely impossible.
As mentioned before, the Japanese soldiers were very poor.
So as long as you turn a blind eye, you can make money, so why not do it?
"Do you want to change your industry?" The head of Li's looked at the latest report and frowned slightly.
It’s not easy just to change industries.
Hong Kong is a free port, and every industry is occupied. It is not easy to switch to another industry.
Taking away someone's wealth is like killing their parents. It is truly an irreconcilable hatred.
Just when the person in charge of Li’s company was feeling depressed.
Someone reported that the An family in Indochina had sent someone.
"An family? Still alive? I thought they were all dead. I didn't expect they were so powerful. They managed to survive the Japanese occupation of Burma?" The person in charge of the Li family naturally knew something about the An family.
The two sides also traded in some goods such as food and timber.
Later, after the Japanese army occupied Burma, the business was interrupted.
I originally thought that the other person was dead, but I didn't expect that he was still alive.
It was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Selling food and timber again? They're in short supply lately." The prices in Hong Kong have skyrocketed and rice is in short supply. The person in charge of the Li Group thought it was food, but his subordinates reported that it was medicine.
"drug?"
The person in charge of Li's was stunned for a while. The profit of this thing is indeed very large, but if the quantity is too small, it will not make much money.
However, considering that the two parties had cooperated before, after some thought, they decided to meet.
"Penicillin? A new drug that has just been launched in the United States? It is being mass-produced? Is it being brought out now to test the market?" Li asked the person in charge of the An family in front of him in confusion.
"Yes, this is a real miracle medicine." An Xinliang, the eldest son of the An family, said seriously.
“Is it as magical as you say?” The person in charge of Li’s company still felt that it was a bit nonsense.
"Mr. Li, you can try it." An Xinliang chuckled, then took out a box of medicine and asked the person in charge of Li's company to try the efficacy first, and then discuss the price.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the Li family thought it made sense, so he asked someone to take it to the clinic and give it to several brothers with festering wounds.
These days, if you get cut and the wound becomes festered, you can either recover on your own or use sulfa drugs.
The former is a life-or-death situation, while the latter has a high probability of only three or four surviving?
Soon, the moment to witness the miracle arrived.
The patient, who had been in a coma with a high fever, began to cool down and regain some consciousness after an hour.
He even said he was hungry.
When Li received the news, he was completely stunned.
Is there really such a miracle drug in the world?
In fact, when it first appeared, there were more outrageous things than this.
Many people thought it was an exaggeration until more wounded were rescued and people began to believe it was true.
"Name a price. I want all these medicines." When he saw An Xinliang again, the person in charge of Li's company asked directly.
"A box of six large yellow croakers, no bargaining." An Xinliang said a number that made the blood pressure of the Li's executive soar.
"You are robbing." The person in charge of Li's company exclaimed directly.
Two more updates!
