From to 1935 2020

By the time Changfen Kaishen was defeated in Shanxi in May, the total army strength in the province had reached as many as 15!Later, Yang Yongtai was assassinated and died. Liu Zhi, who succeeded him, continued his policy, gathered the 25th Division troops from Henan, and continued to expand the army. By the end of July, the total strength in Hubei had reached 20.

The Sichuan army was blocked at home by the Chongqing defenders and was unwilling to advance eastward.The Yunnan Army was too far away to reach.Here in Hunan, the Guangxi faction who had just eaten Hunan looked at the 20 Central Army in Hubei (nearly half of them were the main force), and was unwilling to go north to gnaw on this hard bone.

This is also the reason why Hubei, the most sugarcane-rich core place in the central area, can basically have no wars in July.

After capturing the entire territory of Henan, the Central Red Army quickly discovered a big problem.

In 1936, there was a severe drought in Henan, and the grain production in most areas was extremely reduced-only one-third or even one-fifth of previous years.After the Red Army took Henan, they counted the grain stocks in various places. The conclusion is that by January or February next year, there will be a general food shortage in the whole province!At the beginning of July, when the Red Army rushed to cross the Yellow River to seize the whole territory of Henan, they found that the Yellow River was extremely shallow and crossing the river was extremely easy.

What's more deadly is that according to the hydrological data provided by Huang Ke, there will be another severe drought here next year.Coupled with the Japanese invasion of China that is destined to happen next year...

"Here in Baotou, it seems dangerous, but in the remote place of Suiyuan, the Japanese army can invest very limited troops. Lin Husan will definitely win here. In the next few months, the real center of gravity of our army will not be in the north. And to the south!"

When the high-level Red Army convened a military meeting, Li Runshi commented:

"Hubei is the most important thing! Even if it is only the part north of the Yangtze River. Occupying here, Xue Yue in Hanzhong will not even have the opportunity to return to Chiang Kai-shek through Sichuan. As for Gu Zhutong, who has shrunk to Chongqing, he is even more desperate. I can’t sleep well. If Chang Kaishen from Nanjing loses Hubei at this time..."

When Li Runshi was in Taiyuan City, he had a military discussion with many Red Army generals before the war. In the "Chang Mansion" in Nanjing, Chang Kaishen chatted with his generals, such as He Yingqin, Jiang Baili, Chen Cheng and others. The situation in Hubei.

"Li Runshi has captured Henan and captured the Dabie Mountains! Now he is constantly colluding with the southern rebels, slandering me as Wu Sangui, and launching a publicity campaign with only one purpose!"

Chang Kaishen's voice echoed in the conference room.

"He doesn't want peace talks at all, and he doesn't want to establish a coalition government! Everything he is doing now is to continue to attack the central government and the government, and Hubei must be the target of his attack in the next stage!"

"Surrounding Henan, our army has 20 troops in Anhui and another 20 in Hubei! Chongqing has continued to expand its army in the past two months, and with the addition of Gu Zhutong's troops, it can send another [-] new troops to Hubei! Xue Yue's side , can also call out an army of [-]!"

"As for Li Runshi, he has just taken Henan, and his foothold is not stable! His troops in Henan are only 20 at most, plus 48 Northwest Army. 26 vs. [-], the advantage lies with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Lihuang, the captured general who was sitting at a side corner, carefully raised his hands and said:

"Most of our troops in Anhui are newly recruited soldiers, and there is a serious shortage of artillery and machine guns..."

"Don't worry, there will be a large amount of arms arriving this month and next month!"

Chang Kaishen glared at Wei Lihuang, and then said: "You just need to train your troops well! After September, when weapons are gradually equipped to each army, the number of troops that our army can use can increase to 60..."

Jiang Baili worried: "Chairman, since Li Runshi took Shanxi and Henan, he has also increased his troops crazily, and there is also the Northeast Army..."

Chang Kaishen snorted, "He can't mobilize the Northeast Army. As for Fu Zuoyi in the north, they still want to take back Taiyuan!"

Then Chang Kaishen looked in the direction of Suiyuan, and muttered in his heart: "After October, Suiyuan will go to war, and he can't tell how many soldiers will go south!"

On the other side, Chairman Lee Yoon-seok is also in a meeting.

"Fu Zuoyi's new promotion department is actually a loose alliance. The most important thing is that each of them is essentially a warlord. Now they are just forced to hold together for warmth, but if they really want to contribute, everyone thinks that others will contribute. Meat. Here in Taiyuan, we have been strengthening the construction of fortifications in the past few months. Even if the Jinsui army in northern Shanxi goes all out to the south, it can be easily blocked by a small number of troops."

"In September, the main forces of Boss He and Comrade Bishi will enter Wudu one after another! As long as Xue Yue dares to mobilize the main force to leave Hanzhong, we will attack Hanzhong and immobilize him."

"By the end of September, in the direction of Henan, the main force of our army is about 40! Of the 40, half are recruits, but don't worry, more than half of Chang Kaishen's troops in Hubei are also recruits!"

"Although we are also facing the pressure from the enemy army in Anhui, it is different from before. This time we have the railway as the pulse, and we are fighting on the inside. The troop mobilization is extremely fast! Whether it is Xue Yue's department or Gu Zhutong's department, if they want to enter Hubei to participate in the war, they must It can rely on the feet. The enemy army in Anhui is going to enter Henan, and it is the same."

"After experiencing two big defeats in Shanxi and Henan, Chang Kaishen's troops in Hubei have long been demoralized! Not long ago, Yang Yongtai crazily scraped the ground in Hubei, and he was completely devastated from top to bottom! And his 20 Tens of thousands of people have to divide troops to defend the south of the Yangtze River, and the north of the Yangtze River can only put up 15 main forces at most, plus tens of thousands of improvised local regiments!"

"October, as soon as the autumn harvest is over, our army will immediately dispatch troops to Hubei. First, attack Hanyang by deceit and mobilize its entire army! 40 against 20 native chickens and dogs. Chang Kaishen's troops in Hubei cannot last for 20 days!"

The Battle of Shanxi was Chang Kaishen's "Battle of Liaoshen".

And the "Hubei Campaign" that is being planned and prepared will become another "Huaihai" for him!

Seize the half of the Yangtze River in Hubei, Xue Yue in Hanzhong, will become another face Fu Zuoyi, trapped in the blind spot of Go!

-------------------- Chapter 162 The purest capitalist! --------------------

On August [-], Huang Ke and Elena returned to Nanjing.On that day, a group of high-level officials of the Nanjing Nationalist Government were excitedly welcoming a foreign ship from overseas to the Xiaguan Wharf to dock at the Xiaguan Wharf.

This ocean liner sailed from the United States last month, and what was on board was the special equipment specially made for the manufacture of streptomycin, which was ordered from DuPont.

What were unloaded from the ship were ten huge tanks. Each tank seemed to be extremely bulky and required a special truck to move it.

The transport vehicle that transported them was the same model as the Bellier transport vehicle that transported tanks in Tianjin not long ago. Ten Bellier trucks with a maximum load capacity of [-] tons, carrying ten huge tanks, lined up When sailing out of the port, the scene is very spectacular.In the process, the camera films in the hands of countless visiting reporters were murdered by this train team!

Only a few people know that those ten seemingly heavy tanks that can only be pulled by a tank trailer are actually far less heavy than they appear on the surface, and they are not as advertised by outsiders. Each tank is worth more than 30 yuan. million dollars, and they're not big fermenters at all.

They are just ordinary quenching tanks. The shell is made of aluminum alloy, which is very light. Each weight is not the claimed ten tons, but less than one ton. Moreover, the individual cost, including the equipment inside, includes The shipping cost was less than $[-].

It looks mighty and bulky, but it's just to bluff people.Everything is hype, it is a big hype that the stock of Jinjin Pharmaceutical can rise even higher when it goes public in the future!

Watched by countless Chinese and foreign journalists, it was sent to the newly built "Yong'an" Streptomycin Factory and installed within a week.

At this time, the Yongan Streptomycin Factory had a high wall built outside the factory building, barbed wire was added to the wall, and electricity was connected.A security team of nearly [-] people was stationed near the factory, and the security team was extremely well equipped—all German equipment, in addition to armored vehicles.

The access control was extremely strict, and journalists were not allowed to enter. They could only take some photos with their cameras outside.Elena delivered a speech at the gate outside the factory, to the effect that in another month, as the Artemisia annua planted in various places blooms and harvests, the factory can start operation, and the first batch of streptomycin will be on the market around the beginning of October.

During the speech, Elena also revealed other information. For example, the products produced by Yongan Pharmaceutical Factory are far more than just streptomycin. And listed on the market, as for what it is, it will be kept secret for the time being.

Not long after, in Europe and the United States, newspapers from various countries published relevant photos and supporting news content in the most prominent places on the front pages: it was nothing more than that streptomycin was about to be mass-produced, and the whole world Blessed are the tuberculosis patients.

One of the major shareholders of Gold Pharmaceuticals, the old DuPont consortium and the Big Three of the DuPont family, also attended this time collectively. Together with Chang Kaishen next to them, everyone took turns to speak on stage, making a crazy show.

As for Huang Ke, who truly mastered the secret of streptomycin, he hid in a corner of the backstage as usual, watching all this in a low-key manner.

"The beautiful and charming golden princess Elena is the leaf in the sun, and I am the leaf in the dark... Pooh, pooh, bad luck, bad luck!"

When Huang Ke was spinning his mind and continuing to think of new bad ideas for harvesting, his old friend, one of the three giants of the DuPont consortium, Mr. Pierre Samuel DuPont came over.

In a corner where there were only two people, he looked at the mountains of foreign reporters outside, sneered, and then said to Huang Ke: "If they knew the equipment here, they wouldn't be able to produce a gram of streptomycin at all. It's a complete scam. You What kind of expressions would these people have?"

"Although the equipment here can't produce streptomycin, the things he can produce are not much less valuable than streptomycin."

Huang Ke put his hands on his chest and said disapprovingly.

The equipment and facilities here are fake, and Pierre knew it a long time ago, because Huang Ke didn't hide it from him from the beginning, because he couldn't lie to him.

Don't take a top consortium boss in the United States as a fool, let alone try to fool him with "advanced technology" - because the most indispensable thing around them is scientific and technological talents.

According to Huang Ke's request, DuPont manufactured all the equipment he needed.Even with the relevant technical information provided by Huang Ke, this was "75 years ago" after all. To manufacture all the equipment that meets the requirements with the technology before World War II, it cost DuPont nearly ten million US dollars, and even more A very large human network.

But this is definitely a very cost-effective investment-in fact, without Huang Kejiao, DuPont people have already spontaneously tried to use these equipment to make penicillin.In the United States, another pharmaceutical factory of the same type has been built secretly, and the reason why it is secret is that the old DuPont is waiting for the right time. The fake streptomycin pharmaceutical factory in China was blown up to the sky go!

None of the equipment that Huang Ke wanted was shipped to China. Those equipment are now in the Soviet Union!The location is Moscow, where a group of real American experts in this area are working with Soviet scientists to build a pharmaceutical factory, and then feed and produce...

The Soviets got Huang Ke to provide the technological process. There are still many problems to be solved when it comes to the specific operation of the tool, but with the help of American experts, everything is not a problem.

All of this actually happened half a month ago.Mr. Pierre-Samuel Dupont was also in Moscow half a month ago, and he flew to Nanjing for a show just recently.

Why all the equipment was built in the Soviet Union - the reason is also very simple, Huang Ke alone cannot fool these experts.Anyone who really understands industry knows that a factory, even a pharmaceutical factory, needs a bunch of technicians to start up.It is true that there are certain experts who can lead a dozen people by themselves to force a drug production system to operate to produce drugs-but this expert is definitely not Huang Ke, who has no experience in pharmaceutical production, just Relying on my mother to take the "other him" around the factory for a few days, the little knowledge of forcibly mending can be used.

Huang Ke couldn't do it if he was asked to teach DuPont's people the specific technology—on the contrary, those Soviet experts who had already obtained this technology and studied it for almost a year could do it.

A person, whether he knows how to do it or not, can't fool a person who really knows how to do it. Whenever he touches or speaks, any small place will make a knowledgeable person see his flaws.Ignorant people, people who have never been in a factory, or people who are shameless, are like a university student who holds a chemical formula and tells the people of the country that PX production is non-toxic and harmless. This can only deceive laymen— —But those who are really knowledgeable can tell at a glance that they are playing hooligans. The regular PX production, looking at the molecular formula, is indeed non-toxic and harmless.But those people will never tell you that the chemical polymerization reaction is the most complicated reaction in the world. During the polymerization process, there are actually hundreds or even hundreds of messy "chaotic polymerizations" going on, and the final product comes out at the same time , will also produce a lot of highly toxic and harmful waste water and waste gas.

As a science student with a full focus on mechanical and electrical, Huang Ke knew that no matter how much he pretended, he would not be able to pretend to be a real expert in this area, so he simply stopped pretending and made it clear.From the beginning, I told the old DuPont: This is Soviet technology, and I am just a "broker", and my purpose of doing this is to ensure the maximum "benefits" of both parties.

And that's it.

The Soviets got a whole precious streptomycin pharmaceutical factory without spending a penny—and the equipment of this pharmaceutical factory, with a little improvement, can be used to produce other antibiotics in the future.

Although the DuPont family apparently invested nearly tens of millions of dollars, they actually obtained the most advanced streptomycin medium and a complete set of production technology without spending much money.And these investments can be fully recovered through the stock market.

Huang Ke and the Red Army themselves received a large amount of free arms from the Soviet Union, as well as future stock gains from the listing of Streptomycin in the United States.

Three parties win-win!

So, in the end, who lost and who paid?

The answer is naturally the investors all over the world who are chasing gold medicine stocks!But stocks, as long as everyone thinks they are really valuable, maybe they will always be really valuable!

The charm of financial magic is reflected here.

Hearing what Huang Ke said, Pierre's eyes lit up, and he became excited immediately: "Mr. Huang, you can always bring me great surprises. So, tell me, you imported so much ether, plus What can be produced by adding Artemisia annua?"

"Artemisinin! A special drug for treating malaria! Much more effective than quinine!"

"It really is a good medicine!"

"Mr. DuPont, you have two choices now, either add artemisinin to our company as a new product to promote it like my Yang medicine, and make this stock rise even higher, or separate artemisinin , Open another company and sell another wave of stocks!"

"Both options are huge profits. It's really hard to choose! It's a pity that you can't have both."

Pierre laughed out loud.

"Mr Huang, it's unbelievable that a person like you is actually a communist?"

"No, no, no, I'm not a communist. I just know the weaknesses of capitalism and the advantages of communism. I'm a real "capitalist"! Everything I'm doing now is because I'm making the biggest investment in my life!"

"Oh, invest in what?"

"Invest in a country, a regime!"

Pierre Dupont was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at Chang Kaishen on the stage in the distance. He had just finished his speech, made a show, and then left the backstage surrounded by guards.

"The chairman of the Standing Committee is really pitiful. If he knows that his regime has been in such a mess this year, and you have made great efforts in the middle, he will definitely die of anger."

The real big capitalist giant actually understood Huang Ke's words as soon as he heard it, so he didn't need to explain too much.Because they all understand the truth that "we are against communism, but we are not against making money from communism".

Therefore, Mr. Ford, a real big capitalist, made a great contribution to the industrialization of the communist Soviet Union!And the world's largest nitric acid plant just built in the Soviet Union is the masterpiece of Mr. DuPont in front of him.

Everyone is a sensible person, and a capitalist who does not sell the last noose that hangs the capitalist to the Communist Party is not a real capitalist!

"This Mr. Chang is a project manager who only makes money out of his own pocket and can't bring much profit. If you invest in him, you will end up losing everything!"

Huang Ke was disdainful and authentic, and he didn't have the slightest worry about letting the other party see through.

"Is that why you don't like him so much?"

"Well, he can't bring me much profit, and how much profit can he bring you, Mr. Dupont?"

Pierre asked back: "Li Yunshi and those people, in what form will the benefits they can bring you be reflected?"

Huang Ke raised his foot and stepped hard on the ground under his foot.

"This country! Maybe one day, I will be able to sit where Chang Kaishen is sitting over there!"

Pierre clapped his hands.

"A great ideal! In fact, I think there is a chance to take the position of president, but it is too troublesome, it is better to hide behind. As for the position of the Communist Party, it is easy to die before taking it. Stalin in the Soviet Union The partner in the same period seems to have almost died."

"Everything is risky, even if you are the president of the United States, you also have the risk of being assassinated."

Pierre was stunned for a moment, and found that he could not refute it—it has been exactly 150 years since the founding of the United States, and three presidents have been assassinated and killed.

Huang Ke suddenly smiled at Pierre and said: "Investing in a country is actually very exciting. Mr. Du Pont, if you are interested in this, you can also participate in the stock and invest with me. In the future, you will get an "old friend of the Chinese people" Special treatment!"

Pierre narrowed his eyes, and stared at Huang Ke for a long time with his narrow eyes. Slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
