The chief finally decided to give Li Hao a chance?
He has created too many miracles on the battlefield, and he is also very good at economics. Maybe he can create a miracle here too.
"I will wait and see, waiting for you to set up the pharmaceutical factory."
"If you succeed, you will be a hero, not only of our Eighth Route Army, but also of our entire Chinese nation. When the time comes, I will personally ask for credit from you."
"If it fails, I won't blame you. After all, it is too difficult to establish a pharmaceutical factory."
"In order to support you in establishing a pharmaceutical factory, I will recruit several cadres from the office who are familiar with Chongqing to cooperate with you."
Li Hao's eyes lit up and he replied: "Thank you, chief, I promise not to disappoint you."
The chief nodded and continued: "There is one more thing I want to remind you."
"If there is really a chance to build a pharmaceutical factory, this pharmaceutical factory must not be built in your name, nor in the name of our Eighth Route Army and Chongqing."
"If possible, we can find cooperation with the Americans or the Soviets and build a factory in their name."
"In this case, even if Chongqing knew that our Eighth Route Army was standing behind the pharmaceutical factory and that the Soviets and Americans were standing in front of us, they would not dare to act rashly."
Li Hao looked suddenly enlightened and shouted: "I understand."
"The chief is indeed far-sighted."
"Chongqing definitely doesn't want our Eighth Route Army to have its own pharmaceutical production system. Once they know that the pharmaceutical factory belongs to our Eighth Route Army, they will definitely try every means to take it away from us. In that case, we will make a wedding dress for Chongqing."
"Let the Americans and Soviets build factories, and the situation will be different."
"Chongqing's weapons and supplies come to aid, and most of them come from these two countries. They definitely don't dare to attack pharmaceutical factories."
The chief looked at Li Hao and nodded appreciatively.
"You think very quickly, that's what I mean."
"Now I finally understand why your deputy commander likes you so much. Contact me and send me two telegrams to ask me to take good care of you."
"I heard that you are also very good at economics. I have already thought about keeping you here to help me develop the economy."
"Okay, it's almost time."
"The cadres I have arranged for you will be in place tomorrow. They are very familiar with Chongqing. If you have any questions, you can contact them directly."
"Of course, if you have a problem that they can't solve, you can come to me directly."
"My door will always be open to you."
Back in the ward, Li Hao fell into deep thought.
The chief is worthy of being a chief. Before the construction of the pharmaceutical factory started, he thought of various situations that might be faced after the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory, and then proposed to let the Americans and the Soviets help and build the factory in their capacity.
Although Li Hao doesn't have a good impression of either country.
But I have to admit that in this era, the identities of the Soviet Union and the Americans are still very useful.
In Chongqing, the military commanders, who dare to control everything and are not afraid of anything, would take a detour when looking at them. They are deeply afraid of causing international disputes and affecting the government's foreign aid, let alone ordinary government personnel.
With them as spokespersons, the pharmaceutical factory will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai after it is established, and no one will dare to come and cause trouble.
However, as the commander of the Eighth Route Army, how could he find cooperation with the Americans and the Soviets, and also ask them to serve him? It was not easy.
The Soviet Union and the Americans have always had a sense of superiority in China. They always look arrogant when facing senior government officials. How can they think so highly of a small leader like themselves?
This problem is definitely more difficult to solve than raising funds, technology, and equipment.
"Benefit!"
Li Hao thought of these two words.
As long as the conditions you offer are generous enough and the benefits to them are large enough, they will definitely be tempted.
Li Hao racked his brains to think of benefits he could offer, and finally he thought of one.
Rocket launcher, a personal rocket launcher that can be used to hit tanks.
If I remember correctly, the United States was the first to study rocket launchers, and it is currently in the research and development stage. It is not taken seriously by the government and is in a state of abortive development.
Only after the Second World War began, and the German army used armored forces to conduct blitzkrieg raids for thousands of kilometers, did everyone understand the importance of individual anti-tank weapons, and then restarted research, and finally developed a mature individual anti-tank weapon in the latter part of World War II.
Rocket launcher.
This is the famous Bazu rocket launcher.
China is the ancestor of the development of rockets. During the Ming Dynasty, it was used in the military on a large scale. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, rocket launchers were developed on a large scale. Various products are sold all over the world.
Not only is it simple to produce and easy to operate, it is also very cheap.
It can be fired on any terrain and in any environment with only one dry battery, so it can be called a poor man's weapon.
As a former soldier, Li Hao is very familiar with these familiar weapons, and is also very familiar with the Bazu rocket launcher in World War II.
It is absolutely possible to develop the Bazu rocket launcher that will be released in two years in advance.
Using the rocket launcher as a condition of negotiation, he persuaded several foreigners to cooperate with him to establish a pharmaceutical factory.
Not only that, with the Bazu rocket launcher as a condition for negotiation, the funds and equipment to build a pharmaceutical factory by yourself can be solved at once.
"That's it!"
The more Li Hao thought about it, the more excited he became, and then he made a decision in his mind.
"Xiao Yuan, prepare pens and paper for me immediately, and a ruler. I want to draw!"
For a whole day and night, Li Hao locked himself in the ward.
I drew and revised the drawing, and continued to draw after revision...
After racking my brains, I finally came up with a reasonable drawing.
Although there is still a lot of data that he doesn't know yet, Li Hao believes that the experts at the arsenal can figure it out by themselves.
As the team leader, what I need to do is to provide them with research directions and general research ideas.
"Xiao Yuan, I have a task for you!" After checking the drawings in his hand, Li Hao began to give orders.
"Take two commandos and this blueprint and return to the base in the shortest possible time. Then find the arsenal and ask them to develop it at all costs and manufacture two samples and twenty rounds of sample ammunition."
"Tell the political commissar that as long as this weapon can be produced, the arsenal will give it whatever it wants. If not, ask the Japanese for it and steal it from the Japanese, or pay a lot of money to buy it from the nearby Jinsui Army."
"After this is over, another assault team will be sent out to protect these weapon samples when they come to Chongqing."
"At the same time, bring Comrade Lin Xinran from the arsenal to Chongqing and tell her that her superiors have a more important task for her."
Xiao Yuan hesitated and refused: "Captain, I want to stay to protect you!"
"Execute the order!" Li Hao replied seriously.
"This matter is much more important than my life, and there are so many team members here, and my identity is not exposed, so the little devil can't find his way here."
"Yes, leader!" Li Hao made a decision that even ten horses could not pull back, so Xiao Yuan had no choice but to turn around and take over the task.
