Chapter 204: Yamamoto 56 Can't Afford to Gamble!

Chapter 204: Yamamoto Isoroku Can't Afford to Gamble! (The third update!)
Rensuke Isogai really didn't expect that penicillin was real.

Especially when the military doctor told him that the treatment effect was dozens of times better than sulfonamide and that it was a groundbreaking drug, he knew that the Japanese army was not far from defeat.

According to statistics after World War II, it takes an average of 2.6 bullets to kill a person.

And more of them are injured.

If it is treated in time, it can still recover.

Therefore, the emergence of penicillin was like having a wet nurse for the Allied forces.

There are always large numbers of veterans returning to the battlefield.

And what about the Japanese army?

Veterans will continue to be consumed.

This is not good news.

Fortunately, now that they have these drugs, they can easily copy them.

As for how to imitate it, that has nothing to do with him.

After all, he doesn't know how to make medicine.

He then found Isoroku Yamamoto and reported to him the information he had obtained.

He could have reported directly through the base camp.

However, considering the recent land and sea conflicts that broke out at the base, he thought about it and decided to tell him privately.

At first, Isoroku Yamamoto was a little confused, wondering what was going on.

As a result, after hearing all the intelligence, he could not sit still and flew directly to Hong Kong.

"Mr. Yamamoto, is this information reliable?" Lianjie Isogai was unable to judge whether the information was true or not, but he could tell that when Li Si told the news, he did not show any panic expression.

This shows that he is definitely an excellent agent.

In addition, in the past two days, he learned about the intelligence on Imphal and discovered that Stilwell was indeed having an unpleasant relationship with Admiral Wavell.

So he judged that what the other party said should be true.

As for this kind of situation where allies betray each other, it is really normal.

Not to mention allies, don’t you see that there are huge conflicts between the Japanese navy and army?
Even when buying aircraft blueprints from the Germans, you had to buy two copies.

Even the Germans themselves were confused.

What is this?
After listening to this, Isoroku Yamamoto frowned and instead of relaxing his brows, he sighed and said.

"It should be basically true, and he is right. The morale of the navy is indeed not as high as before. If we don't have a big victory to boost morale, then we will lose miserably."

"I was wondering why the submarine disappeared in this sea area. I thought it encountered a US destroyer. Now it seems that it was not just a destroyer. The submarine encountered the main fleet of the US military."

"If this is the main fleet of the Mi livestock, then everything makes sense."

"Now it seems that the intelligence we obtained previously was all intended to confuse us." Yamamoto Isoroku looked remorseful.

If you can distinguish clearly, there will not be such a great loss.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Mr. Yamamoto, is that true?" Rensuke Isogai asked again.

"If the Battle of Midway had not broken out, I would not have believed this to be true. But now, after analyzing all the intelligence, I found that what the other party said is true." Yamamoto Isoroku shook his head and said.

"Let's not talk about anything else, that miracle drug you mentioned is of infinite value. If you didn't really want to help us, you wouldn't have told us so much."

"And don't forget, the Imperial Japanese Navy was taught by the Royal Navy, so the relationship between us is very deep."

After hearing what Isoroku Yamamoto said, Rensuke Isogai wanted to slap this guy in the face.

Is the relationship very deep?
And then destroy their Far East Fleet?

It is indeed a story of a loving father and a filial son.

"Mr. Yamamoto, are you going to launch another attack on the Japanese?" Rensuke Isogai had been assigned to the reserve and had left the battlefield, but he still had his sense of smell. He immediately judged from Yamamoto Isoroku's words that the other side should launch a new attack.

"That's right. I'm going to send a task force to attack the US fleet in this area. If this is the main force of the US fleet, they will definitely do everything they can to destroy our fleet. But if not, facing our task force, they can only delay."

"At this time, we can gather all the warships and fighter planes and wait for the enemy's main fleet to take the bait. As long as we can severely damage the US fleet, we still have a chance." Yamamoto Isoroku said excitedly.

There is indeed still a chance. As long as the American fleet is severely damaged, they will have one to two years to produce warships again.

But at that time, it was the army that suffered the most.

But there was no way. The navy could not gain an advantage, and the army was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Not to mention the conflict between land and sea.

The angry navy will definitely throw the army's elk onto an unknown island, and the rest depends on their own luck.

"Mr. Isogai, you did a good job this time. If you have any requests, just tell me and I'll see if I can agree to them." Yamamoto Isoroku said to Isogai Rensuke in a good mood.

"Mr. Yamamoto, there are several cargo ships that need to be transported back to the mainland. I wonder if the navy can escort them?" Rensuke Isogai said humbly.

Due to the conflict between the navy and the army, if the army wanted to transport the spoils back to the country, it had to exchange them for oil.

That's right!

Just exchange it for oil.

How much oil per trip!
Otherwise the Navy would simply ignore them.

For this reason, the army suffered many losses and finally gritted its teeth and paid a certain amount of oil in exchange for naval escort.

At the same time, the army also filled its transport ships to capacity.

The main point is not to suffer losses.

Obviously, since we have helped the navy so much this time, it should be no problem to ask these old men in the navy to help with the transportation.

Hearing this, Isoroku Yamamoto pondered for a while.

"You can escort us, but you should know the rules. You still have to get the oil share you deserve, but you can get a little less."

Upon hearing this, Lianjie Isogai's cheeks twitched. These navy uncles are really...

Forget it, it’s not easy to persuade the other party to escort us.

And it also lost a little bit of oil share.

"Thank you so much, Yamamoto-kun." There was no other way. The army didn't have warships, otherwise why would they beg them for help?

We sent intelligence to others, but in the end we asked them to help with escort and give us oil.

How could there be such a thing in the world?

As a result, this is what the Imperial Japanese Navy was like.

Give oil by ship, don't solve it yourself.

…………

The appearance of a large amount of penicillin on the Hong Kong market soon attracted the attention of intelligence agencies of various countries.

Especially the American intelligence agency, they never expected that penicillin would appear here.

You know, this is not good news for American pharmaceutical companies that are preparing for large-scale production. For the sake of penicillin, they have kept the news secret for a long time. It was originally time to harvest, but what happened? Someone sold it first.

"Damn it, who did it?" The head of Bristol-Myers Squibb was furious when he received the message from the Intelligence Bureau.

The people in charge of the company's public relations looked innocent, they didn't know either.

They really didn't know that penicillin actually appeared in Hong Kong.

Isn't this nonsense?

They are the only ones producing it, so why is there penicillin in Hong Kong?

But the news sent by the Intelligence Bureau is definitely not false.

Because they received news that Japan had obtained samples and began to take preventive measures.

Given Japan's industrial level, it shouldn't be difficult to produce.

At most there will be some problems in purification.

But these are not important, because this miracle drug is indeed a groundbreaking product.

It can significantly reduce human mortality.

"Boss, we don't know either. We only know that a large amount of penicillin appeared in Hong Kong, and based on the efficacy of the drug, it seems that the unit amount is higher than ours." The person in charge of public relations said helplessly.

"Damn it, who leaked the process?" The head of Bristol-Myers Squibb now wanted to kill someone. He had put in so much effort to improve the fermentation process.

In order to achieve large-scale production, he gambled his life and property, but what was the result?

Someone has produced before them, and the unit quantity is even higher than theirs. Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents.

If that person was in front of him now, he would definitely kill the person with a knife.

It's almost time for large-scale harvest, but someone interferes. Anyone would be furious.

"Boss, according to our investigation, it should not be leaked by our company. Those who underwent the experiment are all under guard and no one has escaped." The man in charge of public relations said seriously.

Everyone knows that this is a groundbreaking miracle drug and how huge the profits are. Everyone knows it, so it is naturally impossible for them to disclose it on their own initiative.

Therefore, the supervision measures are very strict and normally there will be no leaks.

Upon hearing this, the head of Bristol-Myers Squibb was shocked. If it wasn't someone from their company who leaked the information, then who could it be?
Moreover, he discovered this improved technology by accident, so no one else would know about it.

Even the workers in charge of production are separated, and each person only knows a little at most. In addition, there are people from the Intelligence Bureau who are responsible for surveillance. After all, the interests involved here are too great.

More people must be brought on board to ensure that one's own interests are not harmed.

If they were still able to leak information under such strict surveillance, they would indeed be doomed.

"If it's not someone from our company? Then who is it?"

Since it wasn't leaked by one of their insiders, then who could it be?

"I don't know. We are still investigating. But that is Japanese territory, so it's a bit troublesome."

"Asshole, no matter what the cost, you must find out the source for me. I will destroy them all." The head of Bristol-Myers Squibb said coldly. This kind of business involving billions or even tens of billions of dollars must destroy the other party's entire family.

Especially the production process, it must be completely destroyed.

You must never leave any room for the other party.

"Yes, Boss, but I need help from the Intelligence Bureau."

"No problem, I'll call their director. My shares are not that easy to get."

"clear."

"In addition, we need to speed up mass production. Since others have already started selling it, it means that our product has already become famous. We should seize the market before others can imitate it." The person in charge of Bristol-Myers Squibb said again.

…………

"Has the intelligence been sent out? Did it arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile as he looked at Li Si, who was extremely respectful in front of him.

"Yes, Commander, the intelligence has been sent out and should not have aroused their suspicion." Li Si was not sure whether it had aroused suspicion or not, but based on his feeling, it should not have aroused suspicion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back so smoothly.

"Well, they should believe it. After all, they can't afford to gamble anymore. This is their last chance. If they don't seize it, destruction will be waiting for them." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

Guadalcanal has not been lost yet, there is still hope.

Once Guadalcanal was lost, the so-called island chain defense became a joke.

Especially if Guam is lost again, there is no need to fight, just clean your neck and wait to be killed.

If the US military occupies Guadalcanal and then takes over Guam, it will have a complete foothold.

We can completely rely on the logistical support from Turkey and Australia, and completely abandon the island-by-island attack and adopt the leapfrog tactics instead.

The only thing waiting for the Japanese troops was death.

Therefore, as long as Yamamoto Isoroku is not a fool, he will definitely be able to see that the information he provided is absolutely true.

The upcoming Battle of Guadalcanal will become extremely critical.

If he were Yamamoto Isoroku, he would definitely choose to believe this information and go all out to fight a decisive battle with the American beasts.

"It's a pity that this can only extend the time by half a year. Given the industrial production capacity of the US military, it will only take four or five months to recover at most." Cun Yunsheng shook his head.

To be honest, he wasn't too excited because he knew the ending wouldn't change at all.

The industrial strength of the two sides is completely not at the same level.

Japan only produces a few million tons of steel a year, but what about the US military?

This year's steel production is more than 40 million tons, and it will reach a peak of more than 80 million tons next year and the year after.

how to spell?
The US military can fail eight or ten times and it won’t have much impact.

Where are the Japanese troops?
One or two times and you're done for.

"Commander, why should we help the Japanese army?" Li Si still expressed his doubts.

"Aren't our enemies the Japanese? Wouldn't it be good for the U.S. military to help us drive them away?"

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was not surprised at all. To them, the US military was an ally and the Japanese military was an enemy.

"There are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests. Moreover, these white pigs may not all be our allies. Once their interests conflict, they may also be our enemies."

"We are still too weak. Once the U.S. military defeats the Japanese, we will only have two options: accept everything unconditionally or resist to the end. In that case, our former allies may immediately become enemies."

"So, what we have to do is to accumulate more strength before that, at least to give China a little more foundation and a little more say."

"Don't let a situation like the Battle of Shanghai happen again, where we can only pin our hopes on the League of Nations. Our ancestors told us that if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on water, the water will dry up; you can only rely on yourself for everything." Cun Yunsheng patted the other person's shoulder and said solemnly.

After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, Li Si was deeply touched.

"The commander is still wise." Li Si followed suit and flattered him.

Cun Yunsheng laughed loudly and then waved his hands.

"Don't flatter me. Go back and have a good rest. Your identity may be needed next time."

 It’s three o’clock!
