Chapter 151 Damn it, the Japs are such a piece of shit, they are cutting off our source of income ag
Another half month passed peacefully, and it was mid-April. After using penicillin, Ichiro Nakamura felt that it was truly a miracle drug. He had inappropriate thoughts in his mind and planned to obtain the production technology of this miracle drug. He came to Ping'an County specifically and met Xu Zhongyi, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant.
Ichiro Nakamura chose to meet in a private room of a restaurant late at night. Xu Zhongyi had already prepared the food in advance and was waiting for Ichiro Nakamura's arrival.
At 9:30 in the evening, Nakamura Ichiro came to the box. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xu Zhongyi, he said, "Manager Xu, let's not mince words. I want to get the production technology of the magic medicine you sold me before. You can name the price. Are you satisfied with my conditions?"
Xu Zhongyi's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that Ichiro Nakamura had set his eyes on the production technology of penicillin. Even if he had it, he would not give it to the Japanese. What's more, the production technology was completely in the hands of Lin Zhenhua. Even Dr. Wang Xuecheng has not learned it yet. On this point, Lin Zhenhua's confidentiality work was done very strictly!
"Mr. Nakamura, you really overestimate my ability. The drugs I sold to you last time made me a lot of money. I am even more jealous than you. I have been investigating for several months and still cannot find out who produced them!"
"I have found three sources so far. The first one is from a foreign laboratory. This is the most likely possibility. If China could really produce it independently, it would have already exchanged this miracle drug for weapons and ammunition!"
"The second one said that the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment produced it independently. This news seems to me to be completely nonsense. The Eighth Route Army couldn't even produce sulfa, let alone this miracle drug. This is definitely fake news, deliberately misleading people!"
"The third one said it was donated by patriotic businessmen. I think this is more likely. After all, those patriotic businessmen have so many connections that they can even get airplanes. It's not difficult for them to get some medicine!"
Ichiro Nakamura fell into deep thought. He didn't know the situation of the Independent Regiment, but he knew that it was impossible for the Independent Regiment to produce any medicine with the strength of just one regiment. Even if the Empire wanted to produce this miracle medicine, the cost would not be small. He directly ruled out the second option in his mind. He was actually more inclined to the third option plus the first one. The combination of the two was more in line with the truth.
However, the most important thing now is to obtain a stable supply of medicines. He can investigate this matter slowly in the future. He calmed down and said in a joking tone: "Haha, Shopkeeper Xu, I just fooled you, didn't I? This medicine has miraculous effects, and the production technology must be extremely expensive. I don't have that much money to buy it. I was just joking with you just now!"
"According to what we agreed before, if you provide me with a stable supply of eight sticks every month, I will find a way to exchange them all for food. Now the price of food in the county is rising day by day. Shopkeeper Xu can make a lot of money from it. The huge profits really make me jealous!"
Xu Zhongyi also said, "Mr. Nakamura, I knew you were kidding me. I am not the only one making money by reselling grain. It is our joint business. I heard that many places around us have been hit by disasters. Mr. Nakamura can get more grain. I can find someone to sell it and make a lot of money. I wonder if you are interested?"
Nakamura Ichiro's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Manager Xu, this is a very good idea. I will give you twice as much food, and you must sell it all within a month. Only in this way can the higher-ups not find out that I have done anything wrong. I can get this batch of food to you in the name of loss, and we will still follow the old rule of 70% to 30%!"
The two men smiled at each other, clinked their glasses together, and began to chat, chatting until three in the morning. Nakamura Ichiro did not leave the restaurant, but stayed in a room in the backyard. Xu Zhongyi originally wanted to contact Li Yunlong overnight, but was afraid of being seen by Nakamura Ichiro, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait until dawn.
After Ichiro Nakamura left, Xu Zhongyi sent an urgent telegram to Li Yunlong, informing him of the whole incident in detail. After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong's face became very gloomy. He knew that penicillin could no longer be sold and could only be sold for another month at most. He had to stop and wait for a few months before he could continue selling it.
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's gloomy face, took the telegram and read it, then said anxiously: "Old Li, after this month's transaction is completed, stop the foreign trade of penicillin immediately. Nakamura has become greedy. We can only whet his appetite now. At the same time, we have to do something about the source of penicillin and make the little devil believe that this penicillin is imported from abroad."
"Only in this way can we clear our independent regiment of suspicion. Otherwise, the next attack on the independent regiment will not be by a regiment of the devils, but most likely by a division of the devils. The interests involved in penicillin are too great. With our current strength, we can't keep it at all. It's better to be cautious!"
Li Yunlong cursed angrily, "I finally found a way to make money for our independent regiment, but I didn't expect that we would be targeted by the Japanese just after we tasted a little sweetness. The damn Japanese are really not human. Why did they target our independent regiment? It's impossible for me to sell it secretly. Now our independent regiment is the only one selling this in the whole country. Once the Japanese investigate, they will definitely find out everything. It's so f*cking frustrating!"
"Old Zhao, after we get back from this grain trade, we will suspend the trading of penicillin for half a year. Then we can leak one or two vials every now and then, and have college students add something else to the penicillin. When the Japanese take it for testing, they won't be able to find out the real ingredients. We can still fool people for a while. What do you think of my suggestion?"
Zhao Gang didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so quick-witted that he could come up with such a dirty trick. He gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up and said, "Old Li, you are really a talented person. What the college student said is right. When it comes to thinking crookedly, no one in the entire independent regiment can match you. I, Zhao Gang, am convinced!"
"Old Li, your move does look sinister, but when used against the Japanese, no matter how sinister the move is, it is still a good strategy. We have to be more ruthless when dealing with the Japanese. Let's go and have a good discussion with the college student now. Don't call him a great expert anymore. These three words are already well-known in the base area and sound like a mockery. Let's wait until the college student has cleared his name before calling him a great expert!"
Li Yunlong sneered at Zhao Gang's behavior of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and angrily cursed: "That bastard Zhu Ziming must have accomplices in our independent regiment. I have already warned him once before, but I didn't expect that someone would still spread strange rumors. It seems that our independent regiment really needs to do a good job of counter-espionage work and catch all the damn Japanese agents and spies!"
Zhao Gang also replied with a serious face: "Old Li, this matter must be taken seriously. We must not let others do it. The two of us will handle this matter ourselves. We must catch all the Japanese spies and secret agents hidden in our independent regiment. Otherwise, our arsenal will be in great danger. The Japanese will only need to send people to blow up the equipment in our arsenal. The arsenal we have spent countless efforts to build will be destroyed in an instant. I think we need to set up an arsenal garrison battalion to be responsible for the guarding of the arsenal!"
Li Yunlong came to the map, carefully checked the various locations of the arsenal, and said in a brisk tone: "Old Zhao, it is imperative to set up a garrison battalion, but we must do this after we have eliminated the Japanese spies and agents. The arsenal is currently undergoing transformation, and even if the Japanese send people to sabotage it, we have nothing to fear. Let's go and say hello to the college student about this matter. This guy is sometimes better than what I think of, so let's go and listen to his opinion!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang arrived at the arsenal before dinner and saw Lin Zhenhua busy drawing blueprints. They watched quietly without disturbing him. After Lin Zhenhua finished drawing the blueprints and saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang standing outside the door, he quickly invited them in.
"Old Li, Old Zhao, what's the news that brought you here today? You two never come here for no reason. You must be here for something today, right?"
Li Yunlong didn't expect Lin Zhenhua to be so direct, but he was thick-skinned, so he didn't care. He smiled and replied, "College student, Lao Zhao and I came here to check on your life and see if you need any help. Just ask for anything. We can do whatever you ask for!"
Lin Zhenhua was too lazy to tease Li Yunlong. He ordered Duan Peng and Wei Dayong to guard outside the door. His face became very serious and he said carefully: "Lao Zhao, Lao Li, it's a good thing that you two are here. I have something to tell you two. You must keep it confidential. This is related to the weapons and equipment of an entire division. If there is a problem due to the leak, it will really have nothing to do with me. By then, you two will have nowhere to cry!"
Li Yunlong's face also became serious. When he heard that it involved the weapons and equipment of an entire division, his ears immediately pricked up and he said, "College student, I guarantee you with my life that I will keep my eyes open even when I sleep at night. I will never talk in my sleep. I am extremely tight-lipped, so just speak boldly!"
Zhao Gang also quickly expressed his opinion: "College students, we have been together for such a long time, you should also know what kind of person I am. For such a big matter, I, Zhao Gang, am also very tight-lipped. I will never leak this matter, let alone tell spies. You can rest assured about this. You can trust my character!"
