Invincible from the sword

Chapter 447

It's time to consider retreating.

Stilwell frowned and thought about it.

I feel like now is an opportunity.

Hold Lei's thigh tightly, maybe there is really meat to eat.

Zhang Lei's proposal moved Stilwell very much.

He nodded slowly: "Dear Lei, I agree with you.

It's just, isn't this one percent share a little less?
That's not enough for my gas.

You also know that the current oil price is astonishingly high. "

This is still less! ?

Zhang Lei grinned.

Stilwell didn't know the true value of penicillin.

This is a treasure that is more expensive than gold.

Stilwell didn't know, but Zhang Lei did.

The price of this medicine is ridiculously expensive.

That's all about how much more expensive gold is.

Just a box of this kind of medicine will cost sky-high.

For this [-]% share, Stilwell will distribute tens of millions of dollars every year, which is no problem at all.

This was tens of millions of dollars in [-]!

The U.S. dollar is directly linked to gold.

Definitely real money.

At that time, 1000 million U.S. dollars, if converted into gold, was almost ten tons!

Ten tons of gold! !

But seeing that Stilwell is an honest man, Zhang Lei didn't insist too much.

Said to Stilwell: "Old Shi, this way, 5.00% of the shares.

But you must find a way to get me another batch of equipment as soon as possible. "

Zhang Lei really lacks equipment in his hands now.

Although the Japanese army now has more than one million troops on the eastern battlefield, the combat effectiveness of these troops has dropped a lot.

The elite of the Japanese army is gradually being transferred to the Pacific battlefield.

Now the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are developing rapidly.

But the equipment can't keep up at all.

The overall weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have not changed much.

The equipment of the elite troops is okay.

However, the equipment situation of the newly formed troops is still not optimistic.

In this case, if you want to carry out a strategic counterattack, the firepower will not work at all.

Zhang Lei's idea is very simple, he must not be lenient when dealing with the Japanese army.

surrender?

Beautiful them!

Even if the millions of Japanese troops on the Eastern battlefield could not be completely wiped out, they would have to kill 80 to [-].

Only when the island nation is completely terrified, will this beast nation not dare to have ambitions towards the East in the future.

Zhang Lei even thought that if possible, he would directly sink the island country.

Even better.

It's a pity that the mushroom bomb has not been developed yet.

Otherwise, throw a few more.

That would be great.

And Zhang Lei has a deeper consideration.

After the Anti-Japanese War ended, there must be a battle between the Eighth Route Army and the old man in Shancheng.

It needs to be prepared now.

Thinking of mushroom bombs, Zhang Lei's eyes lit up.

Hey?
Now about the mushroom bomb, it seems that no one has mentioned it yet.

He counted the time on his fingers.

Both Einstein and Oppenheimer are still teaching in universities.

As for Dazhong, it seems that this mushroom bomb research and development team has just been established.

If I get people like Einstein and Oppenheimer into my hands, and set up a laboratory...

At that time, all the technology of mushroom bombs will be in my hands.

The more Zhang Lei thought about it, the more excited he became.

But all of this depends on money.

Researching things like mushroom bombs requires a huge amount of money.

Even the Lighthouse Country is struggling.

If Zhang Lei wanted to do it himself, it would be impossible without sufficient funds.

This penicillin is Zhang Lei's hope of obtaining a huge amount of money.

Stilwell is now the commander of the combined forces of the Kangaroo Nation.

Very powerful.

It is no problem to get a batch of equipment for Zhang Lei.

After all, Zhang Lei said, give him 5.00% of Stilwell's shares.

After Zhang Lei said that with such a small amount of shares, he could get almost dozens of tons of gold a year, Stilwell was about to fly.

Of course, Stilwell needed an opportunity to equip Zhang Lei.

As long as Winton's Japanese army is killed, Stilwell can use this excuse to ask Marshall to allocate equipment for him.

The equipment that Zhang Lei needs is that few.

Artillery, small arms, bullets, shells.

Others are not possible.

For large equipment such as tanks and aircraft, the lighthouse country has very strict supervision.

How much was lost, there are detailed records.

But artillery and light weapons, there is no way to count them.

Especially machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and bullets. There is no way to make detailed statistics on the wear and tear of these equipment.

And with the style of the lighthouse country, I don't bother to make statistics.

Anyway, the arsenal of their lighthouse country has a huge output, and can produce equipment for an infantry division every day on average.

The average individual equipment such as a semi-automatic rifle is one in less than 1 minute.

Rich and powerful, is so capricious.

Therefore, the equipment that Stilwell invested in was the basic equipment of an infantry division.

More than 1 semi-automatic rifles.

One thousand M3 submachine guns.

Five hundred Thomson heavy machine guns.

Three hundred howitzers.

As for bullets and shells, that is how much you give.

After persuading Stilwell, Zhang Lei immediately sent a telegram to the little Grumman of the Lighthouse Grumman Company.

Let Grumman Jr. help him acquire a medical laboratory.

By the way, another pharmaceutical factory was acquired.

To little Grumman, this was nothing at all.

From Grumman's point of view, Zhang Lei is not a simple person.

And very smart.

As a businessman, Grumman Jr. was keenly aware that Zhang Lei asked him to help him acquire a medical laboratory, and he was definitely not just idle.

So Little Grumman helped Zhang Lei buy it, and at the same time asked Zhang Lei, can he be a shareholder?
Little Grumman's company is currently doing business smoothly.

Especially in the manufacturing industry, benefiting from the arms orders from the Lighthouse Country, his company's profitability is very impressive.

But as a big capitalist with vision, Grumman Jr. felt that his company's industrial layout was too single.

And it is too dependent on the orders from the lighthouse country.

If the war is over and his company's orders are greatly reduced, then his company will immediately fall into a business crisis.

This is absolutely fatal to his company.

And Zhang Lei's acquisition of a medical laboratory is obviously like developing some kind of medicine.

If he can cooperate with Zhang Lei, maybe he can not only make money, but also change his entire company's business model!
And even if it fails, there is no loss for the little Grumman.

Just make friends with Zhang Lei.

Holding the telegram sent by Little Grumman, Zhang Lei grinned.

This little Grumman has a good nose!

Zhang Lei thought for a while.

I don't think it would be any harm if Grumman Jr. took a stake.

Little Grumman's family still has a certain voice in the Lighthouse Country.

In this way, his pharmaceutical company can be more secure.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Lei to give Grumman too many shares.

Up to one percent.

No more.

Moreover, Grumman Jr. must invest cash.

For 200% of the equity, let him pay [-] million US dollars.

Stilwell looked at the numbers written by Zhang Lei on the telegram, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Fake!

200 million US dollars, only [-]% of the equity?
Stilwell counted on his fingers.

In this way, Stilwell made a lot of money!

After all these were done, Zhang Lei asked Qian En to wait for a few days.

Let's tidy up all his experimental materials first.

In ten days at most, Qian En can leave the Kangaroo Country and go to the Lighthouse Country.

Regarding the pharmaceutical company, Zhang Lei thought of a name for his company.

For the sake of simplicity, Zhang Lei directly called his company Johnson & Johnson.

Johnson & Johnson, the name sounds really good.

In ten days, the Battle of Guadalcanal should have ended.

At that time, the entire Coral Sea will be under the control of the Nimitz Pacific Fleet.

Have Nimitz send Chain to Hawaii.

Then take a plane from Hawaii to Lighthouse Country.

For Zhang Lei's idea, Qian En totally agrees.

He was just a teacher.

Although he knew that his research was valuable, he had no idea whether it would be successful or not.

And Zhang Lei directly invested a ton of gold.

He also let Qian En account for 30.00% of the shares.

This far exceeded Chain's expectations.

Zhang Lei, good man!

Tears welled up in Qian En's excited eyes.

I was very excited.

There is a violent thought of dying for the confidant.

After all these were done, Edgar's troops in the Kangaroo Kingdom had successfully taken over Douglas' original logistics tasks.

And sent up the ammunition needed by the entire Sixth Army as quickly as possible.

Although the shortage of ammunition has not been completely resolved, the difficulty of attacking Winton is no longer that great.

Now south of Winton are the [-]th Infantry Division, the [-]th Infantry Division and the [-]th Infantry Division of the Beacon Country.

To the west of Winton are the 20th, No.70, and No.[-] Seventh Infantry Divisions and the Third and Seventh Armored Divisions.

It is not a big problem to win Winton within a day.

Zhang Lei and Stilwell studied the terrain of Winton.

What Stilwell meant was to press all the troops up.

Use the maximum offensive force to destroy the Japanese defensive positions.

But Zhang Lei has a different view.

Stilwell's battle plan was too simple.

Although Stilwell's troops had a strong advantage in military strength and firepower, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated.

In Winton, there are two divisions of the Japanese army!
If such a large group of Japanese troops fought so hard, the casualties would definitely be huge.

If there are too many casualties, it will have a great impact on the morale of the entire army.

If the troops lose morale, what a shame!
Zhang Lei also expected to use this force to attract the Japanese army to continuously reinforce Kangaroo Country.

Zhang Lei shook his head: "Old Shi, the battle is not that big.

The Japanese army was in Winton, but they had two divisions.

The total strength of the army is almost 4 people.

In addition, the Japanese army has built a large number of fortifications on the outskirts of Winton in the past few days.

This caused great difficulties for our offense.

Although the two divisions of the Japanese army are recruits, we cannot be careless.

We must find a way to separate the Japanese troops.

Then proceed to eliminate. "
