Seeing Li Hao standing in front of him safe and sound, the chief's nerves, which had been tense for more than ten hours, finally relaxed.
News of the attack on the pharmaceutical factory spread in Chongqing early in the morning.
But because of the military blockade, everyone doesn't know exactly what happened to the pharmaceutical factory last night? How much was the damage? Were there any casualties?
Today's pharmaceutical factories are not only related to the safety of thousands of lightly and seriously injured people, but also a cash cow for the Eighth Route Army.
Once an accident occurs, the total losses can be described as "immeasurable".
From the moment he received the news of the attack on the pharmaceutical factory until now, the chief's heart has been tense.
He wanted to go to the pharmaceutical factory to see what was going on in person, but in order to prevent others from linking the pharmaceutical factory to the Eighth Route Army, he finally held back and decided to continue waiting.
He knew that as long as the matter was resolved, Li Hao would definitely come over and report to him.
Only he and a few elite commandos under his command could escape spy surveillance, leave the pharmaceutical factory quietly, and enter the Eighth Route Army office.
Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, he appeared.
"Comrade Li Hao, is the pharmaceutical factory okay? Are there any casualties among the comrades?" the chief asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, chief, everything is fine." Li Hao quickly comforted them.
"I came here in such a hurry because I have something to report to the chief, and it's a good thing!"
"Forehead!"
The chief first let out a long breath, and then showed an expression of interest on his face.
"I heard Commander Yang say that what Comrade Li Hao is best at is turning bad things into good things. Today is just the right time for me to experience that."
"Yes, chief." Li Hao reported quickly.
"After the attack on the pharmaceutical factory, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Chongqing Guard Force will definitely be held responsible. If the incident spreads, they will definitely lose face."
"In addition, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government is already inseparable from the penicillin produced by the pharmaceutical factory, so it is impossible for the pharmaceutical factory to stop production."
"I took advantage of the topic and contacted Jack and reporters. I played a double act in front of the representatives sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs and forced them to agree to three conditions for the pharmaceutical factory."
"The first condition is to compensate the pharmaceutical factory for all losses, a total of fifty-five thousand oceans!"
"I plan to use the money to compensate the members of the factory protection team who died or were seriously injured in the battle."
"The second requirement is to increase the scope of activities of the pharmaceutical factory from one kilometer to three kilometers. At the same time, give the pharmaceutical factory a garrison battalion and transform the factory protection team into a garrison battalion with a full strength of 500 people. Comrade Xiao Yuan
As a battalion commander, he is equipped with four heavy machine guns, and all others are equipped with light weapons such as light machine guns, long and short guns."
"In this case, the factory protection team will also have status when they go out, instead of being civilian armed forces. It will be more convenient for them to do their work."
"The third request: The Ministry of Military Affairs and Government supports us in establishing a pharmaceutical factory branch in Xi'an."
"This is the most important point. We can use the excuse of building a branch factory to transport an extra set of production equipment to Xi'an, send this batch of equipment to the border area through the underground party, and secretly build a factory in the border area to produce penicillin on a small scale."
"In addition, after the branch factory starts production in Xi'an, we can also use the transportation of raw materials as an excuse to transport some in-demand materials to Xi'an and transfer them to border areas and base areas through Xi'an."
"Not only does it save time, but it also avoids many blockade inspections and saves a lot of trouble."
The chief looked at Li Hao and asked with disbelief.
"The Ministry of Military Affairs agrees with the pharmaceutical factory to establish a branch factory in Xi'an?"
"Agreed, the order will be issued tomorrow!" Li Hao affirmed.
The shock on the chief's face immediately turned into surprise, and he exclaimed excitedly: "That's great."
"Comrade Li Hao, as long as you send the relevant equipment for manufacturing penicillin to Xi'an, the underground transportation line will have a way to send them to the border area."
"I can guarantee this, and I believe that the border area can maintain absolute confidentiality and secretly produce penicillin without disclosing any information."
"At that time, the penicillin in our hands will not only meet the needs of the troops, but can also be sold to foreign countries in exchange for other materials that are in short supply in the base area, thus alleviating the economic pressure on the base area."
Li Hao quickly returned: "Chief, that's what I think."
"After the equipment arrives in the border area, I will send the production formula and technology there. At that time, the pharmaceutical factory will directly belong to Yan'an, and all profits generated from selling the medicine will also belong to Yan'an."
The chief refused without hesitation: "No."
"As the old saying goes, brothers will settle their scores."
"Comrade Li Hao, your contribution to the revolution has been great enough. Even if you voluntarily gave the pharmaceutical factory to Yan'an, I would not dare to take it, and the head of Yan'an would not agree to my taking it."
"So the pharmaceutical factory still belongs to you. We can buy it for the price of a piece of penicillin in an ocean. If it meets the needs of the troops, we can sell it for five times the price to earn the difference and reduce the economic pressure on the border area."
"Also, you just said that you can use the transportation of pharmaceutical raw materials as an excuse to transport supplies to Xi'an. Can you confirm this matter and how much can be transported each month?"
Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "My initial idea is to transport it once every ten days, with five cars each time."
"If the chief feels it's not enough, I can add more!"
"That's enough!" The chief was even more excited than before.
"Five cars can already carry a lot of scarce supplies. Comrade Li Hao, you have made a great contribution to the revolution. I have decided to ask you for credit next time I return to Yan'an."
"There are too many blockades from here to Xi'an. In the past, we hardly dared to take this route when transporting contraband. Going in a large circle through the Japanese-occupied areas not only takes time, but also carries high risks."
"It's okay now. With your transportation line, some supplies that are in short supply in Yan'an and the base area will definitely be transported quickly and safely."
"Comrade Li Hao, Commander Yang's evaluation of you is absolutely correct. You are indeed a talented person who can turn waste into treasure."
"No matter what bad things happen, in your hands, they can turn into good things in the end."
Li Hao quickly replied: "The chief is ridiculous. Since the chief agrees, this transportation line will be put into use starting next month."
"In order to ensure safety, the convoy traveled day and night and required the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government to issue a pass."
"At the same time, I will also arrange for troops and a few Americans to provide cover and escort to prevent accidents."
Colonel Sakuragi is the intelligence chief of the Japanese army lurking in Chongqing City. At this moment, he is furious in the secret room where he is hiding.
More than 400 subordinates were killed in the battle, which was the largest loss in the history of the Special High School in Chongqing.
More importantly, this action brought attention to the special higher education courses again.
News has spread from inside sources that the upper echelons of Chongqing were very dissatisfied with this military operation. They were furious and ordered the Chongqing garrison and intelligence departments to conduct a large-scale operation to crack down on the special agents and intelligence personnel lurking in Chongqing.
Colonel Sakuragi seems to have seen the scene of his subordinates being wiped out in this operation, and smelled the bloodshed in the operation.
He opened his mouth and cursed.
"Are they all stupid pigs on Bageya Road? Don't you know that Chongqing is the capital of the government? If you conduct such a big military operation here, no matter whether it succeeds or not, you will end up getting burned, killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred!"
"No, I killed eight hundred enemies and lost one thousand."
"This is the heart of the enemy, and our losses will definitely be greater."
"Send my order. From now on, all personnel will stop their activities and go into hiding."
"We will continue our operations after Chongqing's retaliatory actions are over."
