Chapter 930: Go up the mountain and go down to the sea of ??fire, do whatever you want
As soon as the armed merchant ship flying the American flag approached the dock, a group of soldiers from the garrison rushed out of the warehouse, in groups of two, with rifles in their hands, and tightly surrounded the dock.
"Rumble..."
Immediately afterwards, the roar of car engines sounded outside the pier, and dozens of car lights shone on the pier at the same time.
Fifty military trucks drove into the dock one after another, and then parked neatly on the dock, ready to load goods.
Each car has a driver and a garrison soldier with a submachine gun, and the security is tight.
The Americans who negotiated with Li Hao half a month ago were the first to step off the merchant ship under the protection of two American soldiers.
"Director Li, all the things you want are on board. According to your request, all weapons and ammunition are packed in ordinary wooden boxes for medical equipment, and they are wrapped in cloth and painted with medical equipment markings. We will do everything.
No one will use them as weapons and ammunition."
Li Hao replied with satisfaction: "I believe you."
"According to the contract, the equipment, weapons and ammunition on the merchant ship will be transferred first. After that, I will give you the drug formula and production technology, and you will give me the remaining six million US dollars in gold and bank deposit certificates."
"Pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other hand, and complete the transaction."
"Okay!" the American thought for a moment and replied.
Li Hao waved his hand, and soldiers from a company of the garrison emerged from behind, lined up and rushed into the merchant ship, and then started to carry the boxes on the merchant ship in pairs.
In less than two minutes, a truck bed was filled.
After covering it with a raincloth, we slowly drove away from the pier with a roar.
In the pharmaceutical factory, all core personnel were mobilized and gathered at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory's warehouse.
More than a hundred mules and horses also gathered here to help transport supplies.
The fifth company of the garrison battalion is a company composed entirely of 50% of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Except for a small number of people holding guns and under martial law, there are also many people gathered here, waiting for the arrival of supplies.
"Battal Commander, there are car lights at the end of the road!" the soldier guarding the watchtower at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory reported excitedly.
"The first truck is back, let everyone prepare for the transfer. Once the truck arrives, the truck will be emptied within two minutes, and then the truck will be replenished with fuel for the second transportation."
"We have too many supplies to transport tonight. Each car has to be transported back and forth more than six times."
There was a squeaking sound, and the loaded truck slowly stopped.
A dozen soldiers climbed onto the carriage like monkeys, and worked in pairs to carry the boxes outside the carriage.
A dozen soldiers took over below, and then placed boxes weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms on the backs of mules and horses nearby.
One on the left and one on the right, after a mule and horse finished loading two boxes, a soldier from the fifth company led it toward the mountain behind the pharmaceutical factory.
More than 500 meters away from the pharmaceutical factory, a very hidden cave entrance appeared in the middle of the bushes on the mountainside.
Walking less than five meters along the entrance of the cave, a huge cave chamber that is fifteen meters long and more than three meters wide is directly in front of everyone.
The caves were all reinforced with masonry and logs, and there were scattered small caves on both sides that were nearly three meters long and two meters wide!
This is the result of ten days of non-stop fighting by the Fifth Company, and it is also the secret arsenal used by Li Hao to hide weapons and ammunition.
There are four more caves like this on the mountain, all of which are located in the inaccessible part of the mountainside.
Dozens of soldiers from the Fifth Company stood guard at the entrance of the ammunition depot.
As soon as the mules and horses transporting ammunition arrived, four soldiers rushed over, working in pairs, and carried two boxes of artillery shells into the ammunition depot.
At four o'clock in the morning, after the last box of equipment was loaded onto the car, Li Hao's nerves, which had been tense all night, relaxed.
Looking at the Americans, he took a long breath and said: "Now we start the final transaction, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand."
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Hao had just returned to the pharmaceutical factory with a tired face, when Xiao Yuan rushed in with an excited face.
"Captain, we are getting rich, we are getting rich!"
"The four secret ammunition depots are all full and I have sealed them according to the order."
"There are still some weapons and ammunition that have no place to store them. In order to prevent the news from leaking after dawn, I took the initiative and temporarily placed them in an underground production workshop of the manufacturing plant."
"Can!"
Li Hao answered readily.
"When we open the transportation line to Xi'an, we will be the first to send these weapons and ammunition."
Early the next morning, Jack appeared in Li Hao's office.
He wanted to share with Li Hao his excitement after becoming a millionaire as soon as possible.
When he saw Li Hao, he kept talking about his vision for the future, what he planned to do with the money, what he would buy for his family... He didn't give Li Hao a chance to speak at all.
After finally waiting for him to say he was tired, Li Hao spoke.
"Jack, although one million US dollars is a lot, this kind of income is not something you can get every day. It may only happen once in your life. So I am very happy, but I must not forget the cooperation between us."
"Because only the income of pharmaceutical companies can be continuous and sustainable."
Jack's admiration for Li Hao has reached the point of admiration. Especially after receiving one million US dollars, he has reached the point of blind belief in Li Hao.
Without Li Hao, he would not have his current status and wealth.
To put it more simply, Li Hao is his reborn parent.
So as soon as Li Hao's words came out of his mouth, he vowed: "Don't worry, Director Li, the pharmaceutical factory's affairs are my business."
"As long as you ask, no matter how difficult the problem is, I will find a way to solve it."
"In the words of you Chinese people, you can go up mountains of swords and down seas of fire without hesitation."
Li Hao didn't expect Jack's reaction to be so big.
But I soon figured it out.
The impact of one million US dollars was too great for him. Coupled with the fixed income of several thousand US dollars per month from the pharmaceutical factory, he had completely fallen in front of the sugar-coated bullets.
By now, Jack has been completely tied to the pharmaceutical company.
Now it's not Jack who wants to leave the pharmaceutical factory, but Li Hao who wants him to leave the pharmaceutical factory and he doesn't even want to leave.
Thinking of this, Li Hao didn't hesitate and answered directly: "Then I'll just tell you!"
"I want you to leave Chongqing for a trip. It is very likely that you will go out many times in the future?"
Jack responded readily: "I'll go!"
"But I want to know what I'm doing out of here?"
Li Hao no longer concealed anything and explained directly: "Chongqing is often attacked by Japanese planes, and the pharmaceutical factory has been targeted by them again. It is very likely that this place will be bombed in the next air attack!"
"In order to avoid a devastating blow to the pharmaceutical factory and production interruption, I ordered a lot of production equipment from the United States and planned to establish a branch factory elsewhere."
"At the beginning, I will go there with you, send the equipment and raw materials, and then set up the branch factory."
"When the branch factory starts normal production, I will return to Chongqing, and the task of transporting raw materials will be left to you."
"My initial idea is to transport raw materials once every ten days. At the beginning, you will personally escort the truck. After normalcy, you can send some subordinates to help you escort the truck."
"Pharmaceutical companies give them so much dividends every month, but they can't just take it for free and do nothing."
