"Don't worry, Captain Liu, we have clinically tested sulfonamide on at least five patients in Shanghai, with a survival rate as high as 80%. Only one patient died because he was terminally ill and could not be successfully treated. We have even more success with this batch of drugs.
The purification method has been improved, the medicine will be more powerful, and it will definitely be successful." A tall and thin young man who seemed to be the leader of the group of students comforted Liu Lang, who was pacing back and forth with a rather anxious expression.
"No, classmate, I have never doubted that sulfa will succeed." Liu Lang stopped and slowly shook his head. "Perhaps you don't believe it, since the first telegram you sent me, I have already
Sulfanilamide approached the American Ross Group to start financing and began to deploy overseas markets."
"Then..." Several students involved in the development looked at Liu Lang in confusion.
"I just don't want the twenty fellows from Guangyuan who participated in the clinical trial to have poor treatment effects. Giving people hope and then giving them despair is extremely cruel to the families and patients. Especially, what gives them hope is
I am an independent group." Liu Lang continued.
This argument left the students speechless. More than 20,000 Japanese invaders were killed in the first battle, and according to rumors, all the heads of the Japanese invaders who killed Mijiayu's entire village were chopped off and used as sacrifices.
The iron-blooded captain actually has such a compassionate heart.
"Of course, if it were all Japanese, I might have been chatting with you guys while holding a cigarette in my mouth." Liu Lang bared his teeth and smiled.
The laughter made several students feel chills all over, but they got to know this legendary iron-blooded captain better. His iron-bloodedness was always only for aggressive aliens.
While they were talking, two military doctors from the Independent Regiment ran out of the isolation area excitedly, and several students hurriedly surrounded them.
"Haha, it's working. It's working. Except for three seriously ill patients, the rest of the patients have begun to reduce their fever and their body temperatures have returned to normal." The military doctor loudly announced the diagnosis and treatment results.
"Have the symptoms of the three seriously ill patients improved?" The students did not cheer as the military doctor imagined. Instead, the tall and thin man asked this question first.
The military doctor was slightly startled, but the smile on his face did not diminish. "Although the symptoms are not as obvious as others, he is conscious and has no signs of worsening. If he continues to take medication in the past two days, the condition is very likely to be alleviated."
"Successful." Only then did the students cheer.
Liu Lang also smiled and lit a cigarette. Sulfonamide could truly enter the mass production stage. He also had the confidence to carry sulfonamide to the other side of the distant ocean in exchange for what China needed.
After a few words of encouragement to the biochemical team, Liu Lang went straight to another office a hundred meters away.
There, Professor Ye Qisun and Xiong Zhen were still waiting for him, and the independent regiment's plans for the development of a series of light and heavy weapons were still waiting for his decision.
As soon as he entered the small conference room that still smelled of engine oil, Liu Lang saw that Xiong Zhen was arguing with Peng and Qian, and the others were blushing. Only Comrade Ye seemed to have nothing to do with it.
Sitting aside, drinking tea leisurely.
"Oh, it's so lively!" Liu Lang quickly sat down opposite Comrade Lao Ye and said with a smile.
"Is there any problem over there?" Comrade Lao Ye asked with the same smile on his face while holding the tea cup.
"No problem." Liu Lang nodded.
"Captain Liu, we are debating the development ideas for the independent regiment's light and heavy weapons series you gave last time. I personally think we should focus on heavy firepower, study the artillery you proposed last time, and even gather more and stronger forces to develop
Heavier artillery, while increasing the artillery's maneuverability. However, Qian Qiang and others feel that such an artillery is enough. If they want to equip heavy artillery, they can purchase already developed ones abroad. They feel that priority should be given to the development of light weapons, rifles, and machine guns.
, short-range mortar infantry suppression weapons, you are not only a military officer but also an ordnance expert, you are here to comment, whose idea is more correct?" Seeing Liu Lang coming over, the future elites also stopped arguing, Xiong Zhen even more
Just ask Liu Langdao directly.
"Haha, isn't this the topic of our meeting today?" Liu Lang said with a smile.
He handed a cigarette to this future elite who had lost his high-spirited and proud image a few months ago and now has a messy hair and stubble on his chin.
Without saying a word, Xiong Zhen took it, lit it with a match and took a deep puff. After staying up for several nights, he finally understood why soldiers love tobacco so much. It was an absolute must-have for staying up late.
The young man blowing out the smoke is less immature than a student and more mature than a man.
"Come, come, sit down." Liu Lang greeted the future technological elites who were still students before but have gradually transformed into engineers to sit down. Liu Lang was much kinder to them than to his subordinates.
Whether now or in the future, he has qualifications worthy of respect.
"The issues you mentioned just now, from the perspective of our soldiers, are correct even though they are in two directions. The development of light weapons can strengthen the front-line firepower at the battalion, company and platoon level, which is what any army dreams of.
.Developing heavy firepower can determine the outcome of division-level, corps-level and even legion-level wars. The last war that swept half of the world has shown that artillery is the god of war and the key to victory." Liu Lang waited for future technological elites
They sat down and said with a smile.
"Then Commander Liu means that our direction will be to develop heavy firepower? But..." Peng Wu, who was somewhat introverted, blushed and wanted to argue.
"However, our scientific research base is not a national scientific research base. Hehe, you are now the first batch of engineers hired by our independent group and Huaqing University's school-enterprise cooperation. Naturally, your perspective must start from our independent group.
Liu Lang waved his hands and said minding his own business.
"To take a step back, even if we think about it from the perspective of the nation, Xiong Zhen, let me ask you, what should we do when the heavy artillery we developed or purchased from abroad is attacked by the enemy from the air?" Liu Lang asked.
Xiong Zhendao, whose face was already a little ugly.
"Of course it's plane versus plane." Xiong Zhen thought for a while and replied with some uncertainty.
"Look, you have lost confidence in yourself! In terms of air power, our country only has a total of more than 200 aircraft, and the powerful neighbor of the island country that has been eyeing us has so far owned nearly 10,000 aircraft of various types. They only have
If only one-tenth of our country's force is invested in the battlefield, our air force will undoubtedly be defeated. This is a non-war defeat, and is the result of the competition in national strength between the two sides." Liu Lang sighed slightly.
In order not to undermine the confidence of these passionate young people, he actually had a numerical comparison that he did not say. In the past, the most critical moment in North China was in 1937. The entire China was equipped with 296 fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, etc., and by the time of the war,
After the outbreak, more than 1,200 aircraft were purchased from Red Polar Bear again, which sounds like a lot, but what about Japan? During the entire war, as many as 39,800 fighter aircraft were put into use, even if they only put a small part of them into the Chinese battlefield.
, which China cannot match.
Especially the Battle of Songhu that started on August 13th in the future, with 290 aircraft versus 3,000 aircraft. Under the huge numerical disadvantage, the Chinese Air Force fought bloody battles but was unable to recover. By October, the entire Air Force was almost completely lost. Full
The soldiers of the national army who suffered from the bombing could only look up to the sky and sigh: Where did our plane go?
All planes were shot down.
China's weak air force gained dignity at the expense of sacrifice, but failed to gain victory.
