All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 62, Medicine that is more expensive than gold

"It's not worth it!"

Master Liu explained: "If you shoot down a plane, you can only eliminate one or two little devils.

But if there are [-] machine guns, I don't know how many little devils can be eliminated, and it must be much more than an airplane. "

Japan's resources are scarce, and the number of people who can enlist in the army is also limited.

Eliminating its vital forces as much as possible is the basis for Huaguo's final victory in the protracted war of resistance against Japan.

Master Liu tends to kill more little devils.

The deputy chief of staff said: "Your air defense missiles are also a bit expensive, and the price is as high as an airplane. We can't compare with the Japanese army in wealth and wealth."

Chen Hao fell into another misunderstanding. In his era, an armed helicopter cost a few million dollars.

But in this era, planes are relatively cheap. The planes made in the beautiful country are about [-] to [-] U.S. dollars a piece, and it can be even cheaper if there are a lot of them.

The price of an anti-aircraft missile is as high as five hundred machine guns, which is indeed about the same as the value of an airplane.

This is still a problem of the difference in productivity and value between the two eras.

Things that cost little in the 21st century are expensive in this day and age.

Things that are cheap in this era may be expensive in the 21st century.

Seeing Chen Hao's gloomy look with his head down, the boss said something fair: "It's not like that, the anti-aircraft missiles brought by Consultant Chen should be said to be very valuable.

If we can destroy some of the Japanese aircraft, they will not dare to show off their power above the heads of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

Because the casualties caused by Japanese aircraft will be greatly reduced, and it can also play a role in boosting morale and calming people's hearts.The effect is immeasurable.

I think this is very good! "

With these words, the expression on Chen Hao's face changed from cloudy to sunny. If the anti-aircraft missile he bought at a huge price is really useless, he will lose a lot of money.

The vulture's crumpled thing, ten Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, cheated him 150 million US dollars, which was twice the regular market price.

If you can't sell it to Eighth Road, it's in your own hands.

Now that the boss has spoken, the rest of the people have to hold back even if they have opinions.

The deputy chief of staff said sourly: "This anti-aircraft missile looks small in size, but its value is comparable to gold."

Everyone was thinking for a while, and Wu Ziting, the commander of the artillery regiment, was very good at mental arithmetic.

He said: "35 dollars can be exchanged for an ounce of gold, and if an airplane costs 850 dollars, it is equivalent to about [-] ounces of gold.

That is 24 kilograms of gold.How heavy is this anti-aircraft missile? "

Master Liu shook the weight: "A little over fifteen kilograms."

Wu Ziting was surprised and said, "Based on weight, doesn't that mean it's more expensive than gold?"

Really!
The onlookers looked at the anti-aircraft missiles with the wrong eyes. The bullets fired by this thing are not shells, they are like throwing gold!
Suddenly someone said: "Ten anti-aircraft missiles are worth 240 kilograms of gold, equivalent to [-] machine guns, and can destroy ten aircraft.

Then we destroyed 24 Japanese aircraft in the Yangmingbao battle before, isn't it equivalent to earning [-] kilograms of gold. "

Everyone's heart moved, if this was the case, they would have made a lot of money a few years ago.

The night attack on Yangmingbao was a battle in which the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division attacked the Japanese airfield in Dai County, Shanxi Province in conjunction with the Xinkou Battle on the frontal battlefield in [-].

In an hour, more than 100 Japanese troops were wiped out, and 24 planes at the ground airport were destroyed.

That's much easier than flying a plane in the air.

Chen Hao said: "It can be calculated like that, but it can't be calculated exactly like that.

Destroyed the Japanese aircraft in the sky, so that they did not dare to frequently attack our army. This is the biggest role of anti-aircraft missiles. "

Some cadres still haven't understood.

Master Liu came to his senses and added: "Just like when we wiped out the Yamazaki Brigade, the Japanese army did not dare to use the brigade's strength to go deep into our base area.

After the anti-aircraft missile brought by Consultant Chen destroyed the Japanese aircraft, it could effectively deter them, preventing the Japanese from being as unscrupulous as before. "

The cadres nodded secretly after hearing this. In fact, the Eighth Route Army has always been a headache for the support of Japanese aircraft.

Especially in some big battles, Japanese planes dropped bombs indiscriminately and suppressed strafing with machine guns at low altitude.

It caused a large number of casualties of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, which tilted the balance of victory towards the Japanese army.

If they had no choice but to endure before, now they have the ability to fight back.

The deputy chief of staff carried the anti-aircraft missile, which was comparable to gold, and led the soldiers to carry it in a room alone.

I also arranged for the logistics department to send additional staff to take care of it, so that I felt at ease in my heart.

Following the sacks of bullets piled on the ground, the treatment of the two is very different.

After seeing the new weapons, the boss asked with concern: "You said you brought new supplies, what are they?"

Well, there's something new?

The eyes of the cadres who had just received a wave of critical shocks lit up. What will this mysterious Consultant Chen bring?

Chen Hao came to the front carriage, with some large cardboard boxes stacked on top of it, which looked much better than sack packaging.

There are more than a dozen types of food and drink that he brought this time.

Chen Hao called out the three items that he thought were the most valuable, and took some and handed them to the boss, Mr. Liu and the others.

Two of them are not unfamiliar to everyone.

The boss said: "Watches, binoculars, have you prepared these?"

"Watches to tell the time and binoculars to watch the enemy's situation are both useful."

Chen Hao understood the world very well: "I have prepared fifty copies of these two items, and I will give them to you as souvenirs. Shouldn't they be regarded as bribes?"

Business is business, and friendship is friendship. In addition to doing business, you also need to cultivate some friendship.

A watch costs dozens of dollars no matter what, and the appearance of a telescope is not cheap.

The boss wanted to refuse, but after hearing Chen Hao's question, it seemed unreasonable to refuse again.

"Okay, then we will all be in his light."

The boss said to Chen Hao: "I represent the Eighth Route Army, thank you for supporting us."

Based on the relationship between the two of them, if there are too many words of thanks, it will become redundant, and one sentence of expression is enough.

The cadres who came to join in the fun all watched eagerly.

Watches and binoculars are not cheap things. Their life is relatively poor, and most people can only be greedy.

Occasionally, I borrowed it from the hands of a few wealthy people to have a dry addiction.

Teacher Liu scolded with a smile: "Everyone is like hungry wolves, their eyes are almost glowing green, why don't they be so worthless!"

Of course, these fifty copies should be sat down, made a list, and allocated to those who need it most.

There will always be those who should be there, and those who are not qualified, so let's look at it first.

Chen Hao would not mess with the internal affairs of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss was holding a finger-sized glass vial with a string of English words on it, and asked Chen Hao what it was.

This third item is worth more than gold.

Chen Hao asked with a smile: "Have you heard of penicillin? This is it."

"What, is this penicillin?" The usually calm boss asked loudly with a startled expression on his face.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted again.

Suddenly someone asked, "What is penicillin?"

The Eighth Route Army is poor, but not everyone is ignorant.

Master Liu explained: "Penicillin is currently the best anti-inflammatory drug, whether it is a cold and fever, or wound inflammation after injury, just one injection can solve it.

It's just that penicillin is produced in very small doses, and even less is circulated on the market. This is an anti-inflammatory drug that is priced at gold, and one can be sold for a small yellow croaker. "

In times of war, new inventions and new technologies about weapons often emerge in an endless stream, such as machine guns, missiles and so on.

The most eye-catching and most valuable invention in the entire World War II belongs to the medical invention of logistics support: penicillin.

Penicillin is the world's first antibiotic, and penicillin is also the most widely used antibiotic.

In fact, penicillin was discovered by scientists in [-].

However, due to industrialization and scale limitations, and only a few countries have mastered the formula.

Therefore, the pharmaceutical factories at that time did not have the ability to produce penicillin on a large scale.

In the beautiful country in 1943, the price of a dose of penicillin was as high as thirty dollars, which is more than the price of 20 grams of gold.

Even in 1945, when penicillin became popular and applied to the general public, the price of a dose of penicillin was around $6, equivalent to 14 oceans in China.

In Shanghai, where the economy was the most developed in the 50s and 5 years, the wages of ordinary wage earners were 10-[-] yuan.

In other words, these ordinary workers worked so hard for a month, but they still couldn't make up enough money to buy a penicillin.

It was [-] at this time, and there was only a small amount of penicillin in China, and it often only appeared on the black market. A penicillin can be exchanged for a small yellow croaker.

Many cadres didn't understand it before, but after listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, they realized how precious it is.

Is it expensive to exchange a penicillin for a gold bar?

Maybe many people think it is expensive.

But what if you change your life?
It is common for soldiers to be injured in battle.

At this time, the medical conditions are not good, and the wound inflammation has a very high fatality rate.

Once the wound suppurates and becomes inflamed, amputation is often the only way to save life.

But still more fighters died because of it.

"How many medicines with such a price compared to gold have you brought?" the deputy chief of staff asked enthusiastically.

He knew that such medicines were rare and very difficult to obtain.

So the expectations in his heart are not high, and he is very happy if there are one or twenty sticks.

If one or two hundred sticks are equivalent to saving one or two hundred lives, that would be even better.

"Not many, just [-]." Chen Hao raised a finger, waiting to see everyone's surprised expressions with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, he was not disappointed.

He contributed to global warming, and many people gasped in surprise, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

A precious medicine that can be exchanged for a gold bar, like Chinese cabbage, directly obtained [-] pieces?

It sounds like a fantasy.

The boss's heart was beating even faster, and he asked in disbelief:

"Really? There are so many medicines, enough to save thousands of lives."

The deputy chief of staff couldn't wait for Chen Hao to answer, he ran at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, and flashed directly to the carriage where the cardboard boxes were placed.

His gaze scanned the opened cardboard box, and his voice trembled with excitement:
"Boss, it's true."

The way the boss looked at Chen Hao changed slightly.

It was confirmed that even before Chen Hao's energy, they had a high internal estimate.

But at this time, his cognition was refreshed again.

With so many medicines, even if the chairman of the committee in Nanjing came forward, it would be difficult to get them.

Unless the energy behind Chen Hao has broken through the bottleneck of the industrial production of penicillin, it can be easily mass-produced.

If this is the case, their Eighth Route Army can be regarded as a treasure.

After the shock, the boss put down other things at hand, and pulled Chen Hao to talk to him in detail.Mr. Liu accompanied him.

The deputy chief of staff saw with his own eyes that the people in the logistics department returned all kinds of supplies, and he felt at ease.

Many cadres went back when there was no excitement to watch.

Since Chen Hao came, they have seen more novelties than in the past few years.

Someone said: "Our consultant Chen is really rich. Ten anti-aircraft missiles are worth five thousand machine guns. Ten thousand penicillins are equivalent to ten thousand bars of gold. Can we afford it?"

When this question came to a critical point, everyone was shocked, not to mention [-] pieces of gold, but a thousand pieces, a hundred pieces, and the Eighth Route Army does not have any now.

I can't afford it at all!

Artillery regiment commander Wu Ziting pretended to be relaxed and said: "Isn't Consultant Chen looking for antiques? We have been collecting them vigorously recently, and it seems that we have collected more than 400 pieces."

A staff officer who knew the truth said with a bitter face: "That's not enough. The value of the goods this time is dozens of times higher than before, and the number of antiques must be increased by dozens of times! Unless it is more precious antiques."

Now that there are good things in front of them, people have relaxed the conditions and sold them at a big discount, but they still can't afford them.

It makes people feel like they can't eat the meat when it reaches their mouths.

Everyone was frowning, but Wu Ziting was aggressive for a rare moment, saying: "There are no antiques, let's find a way to do it.

There are guns, bullets and cannons, we have everything now.If you conquer a county, I don't believe that you won't be able to get a thousand or eight hundred pieces of antiques. "

As soon as he said this, many people's hearts moved.

Thinking of receiving so many weapons and ammunition recently, it is indeed different from before.

Taking the initiative to attack several stronghold towns is much easier than before, and the difficulty has directly dropped by several levels.

It is not impossible to mobilize several main regiments and recover one or two county towns.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army's control of the countryside, there are more wealthy people in the county towns.Good antiques are in the hands of rich people.

At that time, no matter whether it is to seize the property or redeem it, it will be easier to gather the antiques that Consultant Chen needs.

A staff officer suggested: "Then, let's ask the boss for instructions, and then study the specific action plan."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and it was right to use their subjective motivation to find a way to share the organization's worries.

But you must also abide by organizational discipline, and you must obey the unified arrangements of your superiors when deploying troops to fight.

Wu Ziting hurriedly urged: "Since you mentioned it, then please run for a while. We will wait for your good news in the combat command room."

PS: The fifth watch is over, and [-] words are here.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for all kinds!
