At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chongming Island was in the hands of Dong Ku, and all the Japanese troops fleeing around Shanghai were also annihilated, and none of them escaped the net. Those who had calluses on their shoulders, guns in their hands, and steel helmets on their heads found in the Japanese piles in Hongkou were also wiped out. Those traitors were also cleaned up, and the money was withdrawn, and the moment it was announced that Shanghai had been recovered, a frenzy of withdrawal began in the concession.
If it weren't for President Balekov who went to Belgium to borrow $60 million from the Bank of Warby, the banks in Soviet Russia would not have opened again tomorrow.
Britain and the United States, Germany, France, and the Dutch bank are not much better, if it were not for the exchange from the hands of those private bigwigs, it would also collapse in the face of the frenzy of exchange. The most withdrawn and paid for gold was gold, which made them frightened and distressed.
Fortunately, they persisted much more easily than the Bank of Soviet Russia, they had a large amount of valuables taken away, and for this, there was also a considerable amount of expenses to return, otherwise, there would really be a possibility of collapse.
When everything came to an end, no one in the banks came to withdraw the money, and there was no riot in the concession, which caused a wave of withdrawals, the banks breathed a long sigh of relief.
A gust of wind made the bigwigs in the concession tremble, and when the tide passed, they gathered together to discuss whether they should probe the bottom of the advance army. After all, several roads in and out of the concession were blocked, and even the Chinese were not allowed to enter or leave, and it was difficult for their "reporters" to leave the public concession and go to downtown Shanghai to collect information. It feels like they're under house arrest.
Just as they gathered to discuss how to deal with the situation in front of them. How to observe the combat effectiveness of the advance army and make a substantive assessment, after receiving the report on the occupation of Chongming Island, Dong Ku handed over all the matters of the fort to Liu Zhong, who arrived, and he rushed to the concession with No. 5 and No. 6 and Zuo Boyang.
At this time. At a junction in the concession, Yu Ke had already informed the defenders of the concession first, saying that the commander of the advance army would go to the concession to discuss matters with the person in charge of the concession.
Henry, George, Jonathan, and others had been notified, and it happened that they had gathered together, and when they heard that the commander of the advance army was coming, they agreed to meet the commander.
Dong Ku only brought three people, in fact. The British embassy has been firmly controlled by Guo Weiquan's people, and the slightest change will ensure that the embassy will be taken in a few minutes. The idlers wandering the streets, the parked rickshaws, the covered trucks parked on the corners, are all people who have been arranged in advance.
Dong Ku must meet the bigwigs here, who represent the will of Britain and the United States and other countries. In order to avoid his own rise to attract their attention, he must deignate.
Ten minutes later. Sitting in the jeep of the American army, the four of them walked into the British embassy empty-handed, and then met several powerful people in the concession who were already waiting in the reception room.
George and the others were extremely arrogant, and when the attendants led the four into the room, they just bowed and signaled, and the American ambassador George stretched out his hand to signal Dong Ku and the others to sit down.
Dong Ku didn't care at all. With a smile on his face, he nodded and sat down.
"You said that you are the commander of the advance army, so, sir, I want to know that you are now blocking the concession?"
British Ambassador Henry asked lightly.
"Blockade?"
Dong Ku waved his hand and said, "No, no." Sir, I think you have misunderstood, this is not a blockade, it is just out of responsibility for your citizens in the concession, responsible for their safety, there is still fighting outside, to avoid them being accidentally injured by stray bullets, if Sir thinks it is inappropriate to do this, then I can order the soldiers to open the passage and let them come and go freely. ”
Stray......
George and the others glanced at each other, and they all understood that the commander of the advance army in front of them was speaking softly and hard. If the people here have an accident, blame it or be injured by a stray bullet, they will have no way to come out, looking for the Japanese or looking for the advance army? After all, there is indeed a fight outside.
George turned his head and asked, "And how long will this situation last?" ”
"Sir, I think it would be necessary for me to introduce myself before I say these things, and it would be too rude." Dong Ku bowed slightly and said, "I am Dong Ku, the commander of the advance army, and it is a pleasure to meet you. ”
Dong Ku's words made several people slightly embarrassed, and George first bowed and said: "Hello General Dong Ku, I am George the American Ambassador to China, this is the British Ambassador Henry, and the current Jonathan ...... of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession"
When George's introduction, Dong Ku bowed and nodded one by one, and after George's introduction, he said: "Gentlemen, based on my consideration for the citizens of the concession during the war, I have come to talk to you about the next matters today. ”
Henry and the others had no one to pick up, and they sat arrogantly one by one, waiting for Dong Ku's next words.
Dong Ku ignored everyone's reactions, and then said: "That's the case, we are at war with the Japanese, everyone knows that the battle is not over yet, and I think you gentlemen should restrain the people in the concession not to go out until the battle is over." ”
"You mean to keep the lockdown going?"
Henry asked coldly, "How long will this take?" ”
"Mr. Ambassador Henry, I think you need to ask the Japanese when they will no longer attack Shanghai, and even if the battle is over, then all the passages will be opened, and I don't think you want to see your own ships and citizens injured by stray bullets." As he spoke, Dong Ku shrugged, "As for the time, it seems that it was two or three months when the Japanese attacked Shanghai, and there were no ships in or out of the concession for two or three months, and no one left the public concession. ”
Jonathan took a sip of coffee and said, "So, General Dong, will your army take any actions against the concession during this period, that is, will it affect the normal order of the concession?" ”
Dong Ku smiled and said: "Mr. Jonathan, the concession rights you talked about, that is a matter between you and the political axe, our army is just a civilian army, and it will be disarmed and returned to the field after the war, so our army will not set foot in that piece." ”
In the slightly confused eyes of several people, Dong Ku continued: "But there is one point. Since this was once a war zone, our army had to implement military management before the Japanese left the land of China, and before the political axe took over the administration here, and our soldiers were all recruited by the people and were irregular. They all knew how to strictly implement the order, and hoped that the gentlemen would restrain their citizens that once the war in Shanghai was lifted and they could leave the concession, they would abide by the military regulations in downtown Shanghai. ”
"What do you say? Comply with military regulations? ”
Henry said in an unkind tone: "Our citizens of the British Empire enjoy diplomatic immunity wherever they go, and the quality of our citizens is unquestionable, and there is no need for additional restrictions. ”
Dong Ku forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile, "Mr. Henry." To put it bluntly, we are better than bandits, we are just temporary armed forces to fight against the Japanese invaders, I believe in the quality of your people, but I also know that the quality of my soldiers is not very good, in case there is anything wrong. I am afraid that even if it is severely punished, it will be difficult to recover the loss. ”
"You ......"
Henry was furious and was about to go crazy. Dong Ku smiled and stretched out his hand to No. 5 standing behind him, took a stack of cardboard boxes, and said: "Gentlemen, I think everyone is very well-informed, and there is one thing in the patents of various countries that I think you will be interested in." He said. He handed a few cartons in his hand to the few people sitting there one by one.
George and the others looked at the carton pushed over suspiciously, not understanding why Song Ku was involved in business, it seems that this is a sample of what kind of business.
Dong Ku smiled and said, "Mr. Henry, three months ago. I'm sure you're looking for a penicillin patent registered in Great Britain, Mr. George, and I think you've been notified of this registration in the United States. ”
"Penicillin?!"
The pupils of several people shrank, and their expressions were immediately solemn.
"Gentlemen, I, Dong, am a businessman, war is a last resort, just to defend the homeland, Dong was lucky enough to contact this research institution with countless patents, called the heart of science and technology, and luckily spent a lot of money to buy this patent, has been put into production, and now, it is used in my army."
ARMS? Weapons companies? Heart of Science and Technology!!
Everyone is very unfamiliar with the name of this ARMS company, I don't know what this company does, literally it is related to weapons, and I have never heard of any country that owns this company's weapons. But it doesn't matter, the mysterious heart of science and technology is familiar to everyone, and they are all looking for this research company with registered patents in the world.
According to the information collected by each other, this heart of science and technology has registered hundreds of patents, all of which are unexplained products of various countries, including synthetic rubber, anti-inflammatory drugs penicillin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin and other drugs that can treat a variety of diseases, as well as analgesics called diazepam and aminophenone tablets, which can replace Ma Fei's analgesics.
But these, the researchers in their country only think that it can be done, it is true, but there is no method, only one direction. And this Swiss-registered tech heart, they spent months without finding a single bit of information, as if it didn't exist, there was no clue at all.
Today, they heard the name of the heart of technology, and everyone's heart was pounding. This news is so exciting that they want to know more about the heart of science and technology than penicillin, which is called the king of anti-inflammatory in the registration information.
At this time, because of his attitude just now, Henry was not good at asking questions, and while feeling remorseful, he looked directly at George with his eyes.
Why didn't George want to know the information about the heart of technology? Once you get in touch with this company, you will be able to buy patents in many aspects, including weapons, people's livelihood, industry. For their country, it means wealth, it means leadership, it means hegemony!
Those weapons, not to mention anything else, just one artillery self-tightening technique made their eyes hot. Now that it's the age of cannons, who doesn't want to master the art of weapons?
George coughed, hiding his embarrassment, raised his head and said with a smile: "General Dong, let's talk about these things slowly, what do you drink?" A glass of wine or coffee? ”
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Dong Ku smiled and said: "Although I like to drink tea, but follow the local customs, Dong will have a cup of coffee, no need to add sugar." ”
George waved his hand and motioned for the attendant to bring the coffee, and then asked with a smile, "General Dong, what do the other gentlemen drink?" ”
Dong Ku turned his head to look at No. 5, No. 6 and Zuo Boyang, and said with a smile: "Ambassador George asked you what you like to drink, you can come by yourself, I don't want to go over the lord to do it." ”
No. 5 and No. 6 said expressionlessly, "Let's have a drink." ”
Zuo Boyang said lightly: "I'm used to drinking tea, but I don't know if there are hairy tips here." ”
"It's a coincidence, there is really one here in Maojian, Ambassador Henry just invited me to have a drink yesterday, which is very good." George cleverly kicked the ball to Henry to prevent him from being thrown out of the conversation.
Seeing this, Henry was grateful, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Ha Luha, what a coincidence, I only had a friend here two days ago to send a pack of high-quality hair tips, and I went to get it." ”
Dong Ku took the coffee handed over with a smile, took a sip and put it down and said, "There is Ambassador Mr. Henry Lao." ”
"Ha Luha, General Dong is polite, is it a guest from afar, this is also how it should be, you later."
Henry saw that Dong Ku had no intention of rejecting him, and while his heart was relieved, he left the reception room with a smile.
Soon, he returned with a bag of tea, followed by a waiter who brought a beautiful set of tea sets.
Dong Ku waited for Ambassador Henry to sit down, and then said: "On the march to fight, Dong is ashamed, and the soldiers he brings are the same as bandits, but this is also a last resort, driving ducks to the shelves, just to go to the country, Dong is duty-bound." But sooner or later the war will end, Dong will still do his old job, I bought this patent for penicillin but almost went bankrupt, and borrowed funds from several friends, which led to the opening of this pharmaceutical company, and now, there have been tens of thousands of clinical cases, especially fever and inflammation and other symptoms, it is a miracle effect, and it has a miraculous effect on tuberculosis and other diseases. ”
George said bluntly when Henry personally made the tea: "General Dong, you have now produced clinical trials by yourself, I wonder if we can see the effect of the medicine?" If so, I wonder if Lu Dao can become General Dong's partner? ”
Everyone else also nodded, and simply expressed their intention to cooperate, not at all arrogant.
Think about it, political things are far less affordable than business to make money, this medicine is unique in the world, if the effect of the medicine is true, you can imagine how high the profit is. Besides, a good relationship with Dong Ku for the time being means that you can contact the heart of science and technology, which is the key.
Dong Ku smiled.
"Yes gentlemen, these samples can be sent to the hospital for clinical use. You can also send a doctor to take the patient to my field hospital, and if you wish, you can let them personally attend there, observe the clinic, and I believe that it will soon be decided. I have a lot of wounded soldiers. ”
Can go there clinically......
The eyes of several people in the room lit up. In this way, wouldn't the doctor on my side be able to fully grasp the changes in the efficacy of the drug by going to the clinic in person? His own soldiers would certainly not be adulterated, far more secure than going to his own hospital with a sample.
Zuo Boyang saw the changes in several people, and smiled secretly in his heart. Dong Ku is looking for a free doctor for the field hospital.
Dong Ku also knew that they would not refuse, taking other people's wounded clinics, the empirical data is their own, and the risk is someone else's, so why not?
Sure enough, Henry put down the teapot and said: "General Dong, I think this method is good, I can talk to Marisa Hospital, let them send a professional medical team to your field hospital, assist you in treating the wounded soldiers, and observe the effect of the medicine clinically, if you can, I hope that General Dong can hand over the medicine of Great Britain to me to operate, I believe that with my connections, General Dong will not be disappointed, but the price is ......."
"Mr. Henry, you are so merciful, you actually sent a medical team to station, I am so grateful, as for the price and the way of cooperation, you can rest assured, it will definitely satisfy you. When the efficacy is determined, we will discuss the price and cooperation method in detail. ”
As soon as Dong Ku's words fell, George and several other bigwigs hurriedly made a statement, and each sent a medical team and a nun from the church to support the battlefield ambulance while observing the effect of the medicine.
Dong Ku took a sip of coffee and cursed in his heart. These guys are really good at changing faces, and with interests, they can let go of any gentleman, any pride, and any sense of superiority...... (To be continued......)
