Chapter 639 If I wasn't in a good mood today, I would never agree to postpone it for two days.
Li Yunlong informed Lin Zhenhua of the result of the negotiation and also mentioned the Japanese's advance deposit. Lin Zhenhua's eyes rolled and he came up with a brilliant idea. When penicillin was produced before, many by-products were produced, which could be mixed into penicillin, which would definitely give the Japanese a hard time.
"Lao Li, the Japanese have shot themselves in the foot this time. It will be very difficult for us to encounter such an opportunity again in the future. I plan to sell the Japanese 60,000 penicillins, and then mix some things in it to ensure that only one in ten Japanese will survive after using it."
"Even if the Japanese cause trouble for us at that time, we will have something to say. What do you think of my idea?" Lin Zhenhua asked with hope on his face.
Li Yunlong had never thought that Lin Zhenhua would use this method to trick the Japanese. If Zhao Gang were here, he would definitely not agree. Li Yunlong was different. He was a man who was not afraid of anything. He could kill tens of thousands of Japanese without any soldiers, and he could also get tens of millions of kilograms of food and millions of kilograms of salt from the Japanese. Where could he find such a good thing?
"College student, you can only do this secretly, and you must not let Lao Zhao know. I have to criticize you. You are now the commander of Northwest Shanxi. There are some things that you don't need to discuss with me. You can do whatever you want!"
"I will definitely oppose this matter openly. I don't care what you do in secret, but you can't do it in a high-profile manner, and you can't leak this matter. After all, the impact is too bad, and it may also affect the sales of our medicines. I actually don't agree with this. This is completely picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!"
Lin Zhenhua certainly considered this, but he knew even more clearly that killing tens of thousands more Japanese devils would save millions of civilians. Even if it cost him his own reputation, he would do it.
"Lao Li, I have considered all of what you said in advance. There are some things that we know we cannot do, but we still have to do them, even if it affects our reputation. Not to mention that the medicines we sell have already gained a reputation internationally. The Japanese want to use this incident to discredit us. We can completely say that the Japanese deliberately put the blame on us, and then make public the fact that the Japanese used biological weapons. By then, public opinion will definitely be on our side."
"The storm can be calmed down in a very short time, and it will not affect the shipment of our medicines. In addition, I have no credibility with the Japanese, so I really have no moral shackles when doing this."
"Not to mention that we are in a hostile relationship with the Japs. The Japs want to destroy our nation and our race. It can be said that there is a life-and-death feud between the two sides. No means are too much."
Lin Zhenhua convinced Li Yunlong, and the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared. The next operation required Li Yunlong's cooperation. In order to ensure that the Japanese were fooled, the first batch of 200 penicillins would definitely not have any problems. The second batch of 500 penicillins provided later would also not have any problems. Only the last penicillins would start to have problems.
Li Yunlong agreed to cooperate, and that afternoon, Hirata Kojiro transported 100 million catties of grain to Ping'an County and successfully obtained 100 penicillins. After returning and trying it out, and confirming that there was no problem, Hirata Kojiro was truly relieved.
In order to hand over Zhu Ziming, Hirata Kojiro had to go to General Yingzuo and said directly: "General, the current mess must be cleaned up. I have already negotiated a deal with Li Yunlong. Zhu Ziming can no longer stay. General, please feel free to make any conditions. As long as I can do it, I will never postpone it. This is also what Commander Shinozuka Yoshio meant."
After General Yingzuo learned of the large-scale outbreak of the plague, he knew that he had no room for maneuver. He knew how painful it was to be infected with the plague. If he had not received timely treatment, he would probably have died here.
"Hirata, my request is not high. If you give me 30 yuan, I will hand Zhu Ziming over to you. I am not a person who ignores the overall situation. As long as you do what I ask, I will never stop you!"
Kojiro Hirata did not expect General Kagesa to be so easy to talk to. He thought that 30 oceans was a bit too little, so he directly raised the price to 40 oceans. Zhu Ziming was definitely not worth that much, but General Kagesa's face was worth this price.
"General, 40 dollars is my token of appreciation. The banknote will be delivered to you within two hours. You need to deliver Zhu Ziming to me before six o'clock tomorrow morning. I need him to complete the transaction with Li Yunlong!"
General Kagesa didn't expect Hirata Kojiro to be so sensible. He saw him off with a smile on his face and called his trusted subordinates to bring Zhu Ziming over.
Zhu Ziming, who was infected with the plague, was lucky enough to receive careful treatment in advance. After learning that General Yingzuo had summoned him, he did not dare to be negligent and rode to General Yingzuo's residence. As the two sides were far apart, Zhu Ziming took three hours to reach his destination.
After receiving the silver bills sent by Hirata Kojiro, General Yingzo showed a relieved smile on his face. After keeping the silver bills, he arranged an ambush in advance. As soon as Zhu Ziming arrived, he was captured and a rag was stuffed into his mouth to prevent him from making any sound.
Facing Zhu Ziming's puzzled look, General Yingzuo said reluctantly: "Zhu Ziming, I really don't want to hand you over, but the situation forces me to hand you over. The two intelligence lines in your hands have all been seized, and the hidden drawings and technical data have also fallen into my hands. I have to say that your habit of talking in your sleep at night has harmed you. In your next life, don't talk in your sleep!"
General Yingzuo waved his hand, and Zhu Ziming, with a terrified face, was taken away from the base and handed over to Kojiro Hirata half an hour later. After both parties completed the handover, Kojiro Hirata finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to ensure that the identity of the person coming was not fake, he also verified it and confirmed that it was really Zhu Ziming and not someone else pretending to be him. Only then did he feel relieved. With Zhu Ziming as a bargaining chip in hand, Hirata Kojiro was more confident about tomorrow's transaction.
Li Yunlong has also been waiting for tomorrow's deal. He took a hands-off approach to the drug issue and tried every means to facilitate Lin Zhenhua. In order to ensure the success of this plan, Lin Zhenhua returned to the base and ordered the drug factory to work overtime to ensure that more than 50,000 penicillin preparations could be produced within three days.
Zhao Gang didn't know much about the two men's actions. He was busy cleaning up the warehouse and arranging a transport team to transport food. He had no idea that Lin Zhenhua had already dug a pit and was waiting for the Japanese to jump in.
The next morning, Hirata Kojiro brought Zhu Ziming to Ping'an County. After verifying his identity, Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, "Zhu Ziming, you son of a bitch, you betrayed the Independent Regiment and served the devils as a dog, killing so many brothers, but your new master handed you over to me. I will never let you die comfortably. I will definitely burn you, a dog traitor, to death and avenge the dead brothers!"
"Zhang Dabiao, give the other 100 penicillins to Hirata Kojiro. I will keep my word and will never play tricks on this matter. 500 penicillins will be delivered tomorrow, and you can transport another 100 million kilograms of grain. After two transactions to build mutual trust, we will directly trade 56000 penicillins for the third time. You prepare grain and gold in advance. If it is not enough, you can use dollars! If dollars are not enough, you can use other materials. I will only give you three days. If you can't get it together, then cancel the next transaction!"
"I've already given you the chance, Hirata Kojiro. If you can't seize it, you can't blame me. After all, you've reaped the fruits of your own labor this time. If you don't get the medicine quickly, more of you will die. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Even with sufficient medicine, we still lost thousands of soldiers, which shows how severe this plague is!"
Kojiro Hirata did not expect that the independent regiment would suffer such heavy losses. His first thought was that Li Yunlong lied, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no need for Li Yunlong to lie. He knew that the plague had broken out in the Zhaojiayu base in previous times, and nearly ten thousand people had died in total. This shows how terrible the plague is.
Although he felt very regretful in his heart, he knew that there was no medicine for regret in the world, so he could only bite the bullet and agree to it, and hurry back to raise supplies and money.
"Captain Li, three days is a bit tight. I think five days is more appropriate. After all, it takes time to transport supplies and mobilize money. Even if we mobilize fighter planes, it will be difficult to accomplish it within three days. Please give us more time."
Li Yunlong reluctantly agreed to Hirata Kojiro's conditions, but he was very happy in his heart. So he thought for three minutes, and then he snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Damn it, you damned little devils are always troublesome. If it were normal times, I would never agree. Since I'm happy today, I will agree to your request. Five days cannot be longer. If you don't see anything after five days, don't blame me for canceling the deal!"
Kojiro Hirata breathed a long sigh of relief, repeatedly saying that he would definitely collect all the supplies within five days, and then left Ping'an County feeling relieved.
