One hundred and sixtieth chapters embarrassing request
"Comrades, the underground provincial party committee has just sent an urgent mission. The Japanese army has launched a large-scale raid on our base in Central China. In this battle, we suffered serious losses."
"The first task is to find a way to get a batch of medicine, cotton wool, gauze and other medical supplies. We have a large number of wounded people who need treatment, and our superiors require us to do everything possible to complete it."
"The second task is to protect the two heads of the base area. They need to be treated and recuperate in Shanghai. The environment in the base area is too harsh and they are facing enemy attacks at any time."
"But this matter is not urgent yet. The chief has not arrived in Shanghai, and the inspection on the road is too strict. It may be delayed for a few days." said the leader of the material procurement team.
"Last month, the few Western medicines we obtained and the medicines raised by the underground municipal government committee have all been sent to the base area. Now the Western medicines on the market are strictly controlled by the Japanese and the secret service headquarters, and you may not be able to buy them with money.
, not to mention the lack of funds in our hands, especially hard currencies like gold." said Lao Lin, a team member responsible for contacting the Shanghai underground municipal committee.
"Comrade Lu Kunyu, I hope to get your help. The time is urgent and the lives of so many people are at stake. There is really no other way." Lao Sun, a team member in charge of the pharmaceutical line, said with some embarrassment.
The price of medicines is comparable to gold. All the goods in the hands of Western medicine dealers must be settled in gold. The underground party is seriously short of funds and does not have much legal currency, let alone gold.
The hundred bottles of Baibaodan sent to the base area by the underground municipal party committee were purchased bottle by bottle from Chen Mingxiang's drugstore in various ways.
We still have to buy medicines when we have no money, so now we can only go to Chen Mingxiang Clinic. This is also a helpless move. We will not come up with such a solution unless we have to do it as a last resort.
Lu Kunyu handed over one thousand French currency to the organization every month, which basically covered the daily operations of the entire material procurement team. She had done her best, even though it was just pocket money given to her by Chen Mingxiang.
"I'm afraid this won't work. Comrade Lu Kunyu's lover is not our comrade. Once all the medicines are taken away, the clinic will have to close. He will definitely not agree, and it will bring him great trouble."
"Many wealthy people in the concession receive medical treatment at this clinic. If it closes suddenly, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the concession and the secret service headquarters."
"Chen Mingxiang has already taken a lot of risks transporting supplies to our base. We can't ask him for more." The leader of the material procurement team shook his head and said.
The safety of the transportation line is the most important. It is a life channel that provides long-term support to the base area. Even under such circumstances, the relationship with Chen Mingxiang cannot be messed up.
"I can do some work with my wife and donate half of the medicines to the base area, so that the clinic will not close down. It is probably not a big problem, but the organization knows that a clinic does not have many medicines." Lu Kunyu said.
She knew very well that Chen Mingxiang was just unwilling to contact the underground party. He was not opposed to doing something to help his compatriots. As long as safety was guaranteed, he would not refuse.
For her, the country and the nation come first. If she has the ability to help the organization, she will never shirk it. This is the consciousness of progressive youth.
In fact, many comrades of the underground party use their savings and income to perform tasks. Both the military command and the central command have a large amount of funds. Members have monthly salaries, but the underground party does not.
More importantly, Chen Mingxiang is now more and more appreciated by the Japanese, holding more and more positions, and his status is becoming more and more prominent. If you investigate carefully, you will not be able to escape the label of being a traitor.
If he can do something practical for the base area, it will be of great benefit to Chen Mingxiang. At least he will not be judged as a traitor. Those who help the anti-Japanese forces must be progressive people.
"Whatever you get counts. Don't force it. We can't rely entirely on Comrade Lu Kunyu. We should seize the time to contact the underground municipal Party committee and use all our connections to purchase medicines. The lives of our comrades are counting on our rescue," Zheng Tonghui said.
He himself had no confidence in what he said. The drugs that the underground municipal committee had worked so hard to obtain had all been sent to the base area, so there was probably nothing more that could be done.
"But the most urgent thing right now is funds. We have no money!" Lao Lin looked at Lu Kunyu and said with some difficulty.
Time was too tight this time, and conventional methods would not work unless they bought it on the black market at a high price. However, the team's funds were almost exhausted, so they could only hope that Lu Kunyu would provide funds. In fact, there was no way she could do it.
Chen Mingxiang reaches out for it!
"We are all our comrades. There is no need to be secretive when we speak. We borrowed it from Chen Mingxiang in the name of the newspaper and I will issue an IOU to him. The money will be returned to him sooner or later. As long as the transportation in Anhui Province remains smooth, we will
Just use materials to repay it." Zheng Tonghui said without thinking.
The base area can help Huatong Trading Company purchase needed goods in Anhui or Henan provinces, and offset the loan according to market conditions. This is a transaction of equal value, and it is nothing more than a favor owed to Chen Mingxiang.
He is also anxious for the soldiers in the base area. Without medicine, it means death. Many comrades died from wound infection!
"Just say what you have to say. Do we need to consider our speaking skills?" While Chen Mingxiang was eating, he saw that Lu Kunyu was hesitant to speak.
"I'm afraid you'll be angry if I say it." Lu Kunyu really didn't know how to word it.
Not only did he have to give away the medicines from the clinic to the base area for free, but he also had to use gold bars from home to support the organization to buy the medicines. But after all, Chen Mingxiang was not an underground party member, so he had no such obligation.
"When I heard what you said, I knew it was up to no good. You must have plotted against me again. If you didn't tell me, I would have to go out." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"It's like this. The base area was raided by the Japanese army. Many soldiers and people were injured. Now we need a lot of medicine. Our clinic has some western medicine. Can you give me half of it?" Lu Kunyu said without confidence.
"Other people's wives always turn their elbows in, but you are better off turning your elbows out. You even have plans for your own clinic. It's not bad. At least you haven't opened your mouth yet and taken it all away."
"I know you are also impatient. Just use my original purchase price. I don't make any money from the underground party. Remember, the settlement is based on gold, not legal currency." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
This was a deliberate joke on Lu Kunyu. The underground party had no economic foundation, so where did it come from so many gold bars? Listen, it was divided in half instead of sold half, which made it clear that my wife's donation was in vain.
"You know that our organization's funds are very tight. Where can I get the gold bars for you? This is what I donated to the base area. It is also my responsibility and obligation. You usually do things for the Japanese, so why can't you do something for your compatriots?
"Lu Kunyu directly took the matter on himself.
"You are a white wolf with empty gloves. This business is really done well. Your leaders have made good calculations. If you continue like this, I will have to drink from the northwest. I won't do it again!" Chen Mingxiang rolled his eyes and said. Baidu "
