Half an hour passed, and the military police who were scattered and searching slowly gathered here.
"Sir, except for machinery and equipment and raw materials, we did not find any weapons and ammunition." A platoon leader came over and reported.
"Sir, except for the garrison battalion arsenal, we have not found any other weapons and ammunition..." A company commander rushed over and reported.
The major general replied solemnly: "Are you sure that all the places that should be searched have been searched and that no place has been missed?"
"We searched them all!" the company commander replied after thinking for a moment.
"We have searched all the warehouses, factories, offices, and camps, but there is nothing we are looking for."
The major general's face became more and more serious, his face was filled with anger and turned red.
After staring at several of his subordinates for a long time, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and he asked: "There are air-raid shelters in the pharmaceutical factory, and there are quite a few of them. Have those air-raid shelters been searched?"
Those air-raid shelters are the core secrets of pharmaceutical factories, and the original solution of penicillin is cultivated there.
No more than ten people in the entire pharmaceutical factory were allowed to enter those air-raid shelters, which shows how important and confidential they are.
So Xiao Yuan's face turned ugly at that time.
The major general thought that he had found the weak spot of the pharmaceutical factory again. His anger suddenly subsided a lot, his hope was rekindled, and his eyes towards Xiao Yuan became provocative again.
"That is the core secret location of the pharmaceutical factory. I can't even go in. You have to think clearly!" Xiao Yuan answered reluctantly and in a threatening tone.
"In addition, the penicillin production formula that the little devils are looking for is in these air-raid shelters. If the penicillin production formula is leaked because of your search, and the little devils know it, then you will be the little devils' accomplices, traitors, and traitors...
"
A flash of embarrassment flashed across the major general's face, but in the end his impulse overcame his reason.
The pharmaceutical factory secretly purchased arms and equipment for the Eighth Route Army. This was information obtained from within the Japanese, so there must be no problem.
It was precisely because I believed in the authenticity of this information that I took the initiative to ask for a battle, hoping to take advantage of this battle.
Unexpectedly, the military police have found nothing until now. What's more, they even made themselves embarrassed and were severely slapped in the face by Xiao Yuan.
These secret air-raid shelters became the only possibility for the major general to turn defeat into victory.
Therefore, the major general did not hesitate much and returned directly in an imperative tone: "We will search any place where a pharmaceutical factory is located."
"Captain Xiao, you are intimidating and threatening. You just won't let us enter these air-raid shelters. There must be some ulterior conspiracy hidden in them."
"The more you don't let me in, the more I will search."
"As for the leakage you are worried about, I don't think that is a problem."
"Those who participated in the search are all military police. They are loyal to the country and will definitely not reveal anything about what they saw in the air raid shelter."
Xiao Yuan thought of Li Hao's call back last night, and replied silently: "I can let you search. But the equipment inside is too important, and involves the core secrets of the pharmaceutical factory. Every military policeman involved in the search must have pharmaceutical knowledge."
People from the factory followed."
"Your people must not touch the equipment inside. If you want to inspect it, you can ask people from the pharmaceutical factory to help move it."
"Okay..." the major general replied without thinking.
Many military police officers heard the conversation between the two men.
One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, in the blink of an eye all the military police knew how important a few air-raid shelters were to the pharmaceutical factory.
Even if he did not touch those machines and equipment during the search, one day the Japanese would obtain the penicillin production formula, and he would be listed as a suspect for stealing the formula, and then be labeled as a traitor.
So no one wants to participate in such a thankless thing.
After the major general gave the order, no one moved around.
The major general quickly figured out the reason behind it, and could only forcefully order a company to go in and search with anger.
The military police didn't want to go in these air-raid shelters, and they certainly didn't want to stay there any longer and end up making a mess.
The whole search process was very sloppy, and they came back in less than half an hour.
"Sir, except for machinery and equipment, there are only raw materials inside. There are no weapons or ammunition." the military police company commander reported.
The major general's last hope was shattered, and he struggled to ask: "Are you sure you have searched all places? Or is there some hidden secret passage in the air-raid shelter?"
"We've searched them all," the military police company commander affirmed without thinking about it.
He never wanted to go into those air-raid shelters a second time.
Be cautious, afraid of touching something you shouldn't touch, and there are two pairs of eyes behind you always watching. When you encounter a box to check, you must first obtain the consent of the pharmaceutical factory behind and let them open it before you can check it yourself...
…
This kind of search is even more frustrating than before. I have never encountered this in such a long time as a military policeman. It is an insult to the word military policeman.
Not only that, the entire search was carried out at the risk of being labeled a traitor.
The company commander believed that he would never leak what he saw.
But there are more than a hundred people under his command, and no one knows if they have second thoughts or if they are talking about something for the sake of money.
If the formula of penicillin was really leaked due to this search, then he would be a suspect and could not be cleared by jumping into the Yellow River.
So he didn't want to do this kind of search mission again.
Facing the Major General's unwilling questions, he answered very firmly, not giving the Major General any chance to search for himself a second time.
As soon as the commander of the military police company finished speaking, the major general's face turned gloomy again, his head lowered, and he didn't say a word.
At this time, Xiao Yuan spoke: "Now the entire pharmaceutical factory has been searched, but nothing has been found. I wonder if you can return our pharmaceutical factory's innocence!"
"Also, if the penicillin production formula is leaked and ends up in the hands of the little devils, you will be the first suspect."
"Come on, let's go back?" The major general interrupted Xiao Yuan decisively, not wanting to continue to be ridiculed by him here.
Seeing the other party exiting the pharmaceutical factory in embarrassment, a smile quickly flashed across Xiao Yuan's face.
Those threats, intimidations, and taunts just now were all thought up by myself according to the orders of the group leader. The purpose was to make the other party fearful and lose their mind, so as to ignore the backing of the pharmaceutical factory...
Now it seems that the leader's method is really effective.
Immediately ordered: "Immediately release the news. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs searched the pharmaceutical factory this morning, but returned without success. They even searched the air-raid shelter where the core secrets of the pharmaceutical factory were hidden, but nothing was found. If the penicillin production formula is leaked, they are
The first suspect..."
"Batalion Commander, what are you doing?"
"Give them some pressure so that they don't dare to have any more ideas about our pharmaceutical factory in a short period of time. At the same time, we also tell everyone how bad the production environment of our pharmaceutical factory is!"
