When he heard that each squadron was asking for medicine, he felt helpless for a while.
There is a war in Europe right now, and a large amount of medicines are being dumped on the European battlefields. Moreover, the medicines are restricted and are mainly purchased through the military.
The most important thing is that the United States is also collecting a large amount of this kind of Western medicine, especially penicillin, a special anti-inflammatory drug. If you want to import a large amount, Haiguang alone may not be able to get through.
What's more, transporting it there is even more of a problem.
"Tell them that except for a small amount of imported medicines, the rest can be solved locally. The headquarters can no longer obtain large quantities of medicines. The West is also at war."
"Can't we import a batch of medicines?"
At this time, Aya was also stunned, and immediately became a little confused. After all, all medicines used to be imported and then shipped in batches to various squadrons.
But now it doesn't work anymore.
"That's true. We can no longer do it now. In addition to some conventional drugs, it is really difficult to import a large amount of anti-inflammatory drugs."
"The most important thing is that even if it is conventional drugs, Japan will conduct very strict inspections."
He also showed a forced smile of embarrassment, and even shook his head with a smile.
"However, let's ask the U.S. headquarters if they can ship a batch of medicines. This may be the last batch. If we want to ship another batch, there won't be much chance."
He let out a long sigh. He knew that by this time tomorrow, the United States and Japan would have gone to war, and this war would have entered a turning point in history.
Listening to Zhang Tianhao's analysis, the three women also looked a little gloomy. After all, the medicines were not in place. Many soldiers below were injured and there was no medicine to treat them. The consequences were still quite serious.
"How many medicines do we have now?"
"There are not many medicines left. There are only 356 penicillins, and there are still two boxes of cold medicine, about 10,000 pills. The other medicines have basically been consumed."
"The most important thing is that we don't have much gauze and alcohol. We can only last for two months at most. This is without any casualties. If there are a lot of casualties, it will consume more."
"It seems that our material reserves are really running low."
When he heard that there was only such a small amount, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but make some calculations in his mind. After all, this kind of medicine was consumed too quickly.
Ordinary drugs can be replaced with traditional Chinese medicine, but this kind of anti-inflammatory drug is used to save lives, so there is no way to replace it. If it is not available, you can only carry it.
And those narcotics, even more so, there is not a single one left.
Except that Zhang Tianhao carried more than 200 penicillins, two large bottles of cold medicine, more than 20 narcotics, some gauze, and alcohol, there may not be any other medicines.
"Master, how about we go find some Chinese medicine? What do you think?"
"This is a method, not a good one. Chinese medicine is not as fast as Western medicine."
He still shook his head and looked at the dark sky outside. He felt that it was going to snow again. This kind of weather really changed at once.
"However, if localities are allowed to purchase traditional Chinese medicines, especially anti-inflammatory drugs and medicine for swords and guns, these traditional Chinese medicines may not necessarily be available in the future."
"So nervous? Chinese medicine is not..."
"The Japanese blockade, even if it is a traditional Chinese medicine store, the Japanese can still look at it to death. As long as you can use these medicines, the secret agents will not be polite to you and will definitely take your life without mercy."
"In Shanghai now, the secret agents are probably closely monitoring this drug. If you dare to prescribe it, you will definitely go to jail."
"This is true. The spies are still supervising this area too tightly. Except for the concession, they are supervising everything else!"
Ah Ying next to her also responded and briefly introduced the situation to the two women.
"If you want medicines, you can only slowly withhold them from the usual hospitals, but such withheld medicines are still easy to find."
As the three of them slowly analyzed the matter, especially the drug issue, in the end they still did not come up with an effective result and could only take it one step at a time.
As for those sent to the United States, I asked for a batch of medicines to be sent over, and the other party responded quickly.
Control, even for a boss like him, must be restricted. As long as drugs are produced in the United States, they will be controlled.
"Master, the reply over there can only be a small amount of medicines, but you can bring more regular medicines. As for anti-inflammatory drugs, it is a bit difficult, but it will not exceed two thousand."
"Okay, just bring it over here, two thousand is enough."
Something is much better than nothing. Now he has a batch of medicines in hand, which can at least be used in emergencies.
When the time comes, I'll think of a solution.
In fact, not only Zhang Tianhao's squadron, but also other Chinese armies, whether from the government or the Communist Party, are all short of clothing and medicine.
Every medicine may save a person's life.
Zhang Tianhao looked at the telegrams in front of him, and he really didn't have any good ideas.
Their medicines have always been relatively sufficient. After all, Zhang Tianhao imports a large amount of medicines from the United States every year. However, they have been restricted since last year.
The Japanese are pursuing more and more rigorously.
Originally, the Mihara Club's fleet helped with transportation, but now that Mihara Club has been taken over by the Japanese, it is still quite troublesome to transport it now.
"I don't know if Jiichiro Kagehira's Heiichi Society has smuggling or transportation industry. If it does, it would be better. As long as it is transported, it will be a success."
He thought for a moment, then stood up and prepared to walk back.
"Master, why don't you go back tonight? It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and there's no point in going back."
At this time, Ah Ying beside her suddenly reminded her in a low voice.
The other two women were stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what it meant, and immediately persuaded in a low voice: "Yes, young master, don't go back now. You'll be sleeping anyway, so why not just stay here?"
Zhang Tianhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what the girls meant, and just smiled and nodded in agreement.
After all, they were really miserable. Following him, they had to be on tenterhooks all day long, even risking their lives.
We also arranged an escape route for them.
He understood what these girls meant and could only nod in agreement.
…
Zhang Tianhao gave up discussing the issue of medicines, but the telegram here still had to be sent out. After all, there was no ability to deal with their medicines for the time being. Each squadron had to find its own solution, and even some Chinese medicines had to be collected.
Zhunbei Squadron, that is, the Ninth Squadron, squadron leader Cao An had not slept all night. He had just finished the meeting and it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
"Report, Captain, we just received a call from the headquarters."
A telegraph operator walked in directly after knocking on the door and said seriously.
"How do I get a call back from the headquarters?" Cao An was still a little worried. After all, compared with before, there are far fewer medicines now.
"Report, captain, there is no good solution at the headquarters for the time being. We have to collect the medicines ourselves. Even Chinese medicine, salt, and alcohol need to be prepared by ourselves."
"Don't care about us?"
"Probably not, but the transport fleet at the headquarters was discovered by the Japanese and seized."
