Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After all, Mr. Zhu, the commander-in-chief, naturally has a lot of prestige among the Eighth Route Army.And tomorrow's party, I think **** will also attend it.Let's have fun in private, but there is nothing too taboo about it.

The afternoon meeting was more about some work reports from various central departments.The reason for these reports is naturally to let the participants know what the current situation in the party is like, and what the situation in the army is like.

After another few hours, although everyone felt a little sore and backache from sitting, they didn't appear to be dozing off.Even He Zhengdao, like everyone else, recorded a lot of things in his notebook after a meeting.

Although the conditions of such a meeting are very simple, He Zhengdao can also feel that the content of the meeting is very substantial.Although some data are very boring, this is the situation of the party and the army, and it is indeed necessary to know more.

At least from the current situation, the financial situation of the central government is indeed not optimistic.At this meeting, Mr. Lin, who is in charge of the central finance, also emphasized that the hard currency seized by the troops should be handed over to the central reserve as much as possible.

Even some of the counterfeit Japanese banknotes seized during the usual battles need to be handed over to the central finance as much as possible.Troops that need to withhold funds also need to report to the central or headquarters in advance.

After all, with the expansion of the army and the establishment of a democratic government, many places need the central government to allocate funds.In order to purchase a batch of materials and machinery from the Soviet Union, the central government did spend a lot of real money.

Regarding this situation, after the meeting ended, He Zhengdao also thought of a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.Compared with the poorer side of the Eighth Route Army, the 'Ningma' and 'Qingma' adjacent to the Eighth Route Army are still rich.

Nowadays, the Eighth Route Army also has a lot of weapons and ammunition in reserve, and it may be possible to trade these weapons to them.Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a somewhat loss-making business.But in He Zhengdao's view, those weapons will be eliminated sooner or later.

With the continuous development and growth of the Eighth Route Army, 'Ningma' and 'Qingma' are also secretly expanding their troops.Perhaps they are also worried that one day the Eighth Route Army will attack them.

The national government also gave them a lot of expanded numbers.But similar funds and weapons need to be resolved by themselves.In this case, selling some weapons to them should be able to exchange for some real money.

But how to handle such a thing well still needs to be discussed with Zhou Enlai and others.At least He Zhengdao felt that with the increase in the reserve of standard rifles produced by the arsenal, some of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army could also be replaced one after another in the future.

At that time, those idle weapons might as well be exchanged for money.I believe that such an approach will also make the national government feel that the life of the Eighth Route Army is still difficult, and they are even willing to start selling weapons.

But in fact, as long as the seized and eliminated weapons can be sold at a good price.This kind of business is actually very profitable! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

<> Finance is a crucial part of the government in any period.There is still some truth to the old saying that money makes things easier.Even if the army is expanded to appease the people's livelihood, in fact, financial support is indispensable.

It is undoubtedly very unsafe to obtain funds solely by seizure and external assistance.Even if the arsenal is now printing some counterfeit banknotes and putting them on the market, it can't meet the growing demand for funds from the central government.

After the meeting, He Zhengdao also recalled the information about the gold and silver mines in the base area.The best way to solve the financial problem is to increase income and reduce expenditure, and how to increase hard currency reserves.The output of gold and silver mines can also give a lot of help.

Compared with the national government, which is currently avoiding Chongqing, it still has a lot of financial reserves in its hands.Here in Yan'an, it can be said that they started from scratch and have come to the present.Most of the funds seized in the past were based on how much money they had.

But now with the expansion of base areas, there are also more and more democratic governments at the county level.The financial needs are also more urgent and urgent than before.Although the troops don't pay, they need to spend money for food and clothing.

Even if He Zhengdao proposed to form the Northeast United Army last time, the central government and the headquarters both agreed, but they still couldn't come up with too much money.In a sense, the current financial shortage also limits the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Thinking of the armed police gold troop dedicated to searching for gold veins in later generations, He Zhengdao felt that at this stage, it is actually possible to organize such a group of people who are familiar with geology to search for gold and silver veins in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Once something is harvested, the central government only needs to invest a certain amount of mining funds to have a steady stream of income.Nowadays, the legal currency issued by the government has depreciated, but the hard currency of gold and silver is still very useful.

Moreover, if you want to stabilize the central government's finances, stabilize the currency printed and issued by the central government in the base areas, and the gold reserves for value preservation are very important.With enough gold and silver, more money can be printed.

As the person in charge of the central finance, Mr. Lin naturally knows that the gold reserves in the headquarters are not much.If the reserves of precious metals are not increased, there is a risk of depreciation for banknotes printed by banks in base areas.

After the meeting, He Zhengdao also wrote a special report on financial issues.Suggestions on increasing the geological exploration team were also included in the report.In addition, that is to find new sources of financial revenue.

At present, the central government has a large amount of funds, all of which have been invested in the research and development and production of the arsenal.But in fact, the source of income for the central government also benefits from the arsenal and the large and small factories in the base area.

Think of the development of penicillin, is entering the clinical stage.He Zhengdao felt that maybe the central government should be suggested to start putting this drug on the market for investment.This kind of medicine was soft gold during World War II!

According to what He Zhengdao has learned, the research and development of penicillin has already been carried out abroad.It's just that from research and development to the launch of the market, scientists studying this drug abroad have actually encountered difficulties in sales.

Nowadays, when doctors use antibacterial drugs, they still prefer to use sulfonamides.And sulfa drugs are also currently the largest source of profit for the central government to earn funds from export sales.However, He Zhengdao felt that he didn't make much money.

In contrast, if penicillin could be introduced to some foreigners.Then the money earned may be more cost-effective than selling sulfa drugs.Most importantly, the pricing of penicillin in the future will also be controlled by Huaxia.

Back then, every penicillin imported during the Anti-Japanese War was worth more than gold.But even so, during the Anti-Japanese War, penicillin was still a high-end imported drug that both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party urgently needed.

Seeing He Zhengdao who went into the study after the meeting and began to write the report, he also knew that Chen Siya, who was holding the military and political meeting recently, did not ask about what was said in the military and political meeting.

Sometimes, knowing less about some things is actually safer for her.

But not long after, seeing Boss He and others coming together, Chen Siya also hurried forward and said: "Boss He, Mr. Luo, you are here. Zhengdao is still writing a report in the study, let me call him!"

As for He Zhengdao's good popularity in the army, Chen Siya had really seen it when she got married this time.As He Zhengdao's wife, Chen Siya also knows very well that she needs to be a good helper for He Zhengdao.

'Xiao Chen, we are here to disturb you again.Writing a report?This meeting has just ended, what report is he going to write? '

Boss He, who asked curiously, soon heard Chen Siya's a little embarrassed saying: "I don't know about this either! It's just that when he came back, his expression was quite serious. I think it must be something more troublesome! "

'Oh, and there are things that give him a headache, that's really not a trivial matter! '

At this time, He Zhengdao came out of the cave and said, "Boss He, Brother Luo, I'm sorry! I just buried myself in writing a report, and I forgot that I have an appointment tonight! Siya, go and get the tea I brought last time." Take it out and make two cups of tea!"

'Okay, let's talk first! '

After speaking, he turned and walked into the cave to make tea with the guests, He Zhengdao called the guard over again and asked him to prepare the ingredients for tonight's barbecue.As for charcoal, I kept a lot of it at home last time, so I don't need to buy it if I think about it.

After welcoming the two to their seats, Boss He asked about the previous matter again.He Zhengdao didn't hide anything, and said that he thought of some ideas about improving the central government's finances and wrote a report that he planned to submit to the central government.

After listening to some suggestions from He Zhengdao, Boss He also nodded in satisfaction and said: "You young people still have easy-to-use brains. It is indeed a drop in the bucket to expect to fill the vacancy in the central government's finances through seizures.

In fact, we are now on the battlefield, and there is not much money that can be seized.These days, ordinary people are living a hard life, so there is still money!As for the little devils, they are still trying to steal money from us!

In order to count on the capture of the troops, it is really better to think of ways from the inside.I think the prospecting team you mentioned is still very necessary.Speaking of which, although there are not many gold and silver mines in our country, there must be such veins in the base area.

If a large ore vein can be found, as long as some manpower and material resources are invested in mining, the central government will have a stable source of funds in the future.This is more practical and reliable than relying on our capture at the front line! "

Luo Binghui, who came with Boss He, said curiously: "Zhengdao, is the penicillin you mentioned more effective than the sulfa drug we are using now? But why didn't we see such a drug in our army?" ?”

With the construction of the Eighth Route Army, it is much better than in history.In Yan'an and Yulin, there are also specialized medical colleges.A large number of intern doctors and nurses have also been added to work in the rear hospitals of each division.

With the rear hospital, soldiers injured on the front line can also receive the most timely and proper treatment.This is also the change that He Zhengdao has brought to the Eighth Route Army by focusing on the construction of logistics support in the independent column.

Facing Luo Binghui's question, He Zhengdao didn't hide anything and said directly: "Penicillin has a better antibacterial effect than sulfonamides, and it can also treat some diseases that sulfonamides can't solve. However, it needs a process to enter clinical use.

In addition, this kind of medicine also has sensitive groups, and some people are not suitable for using this kind of antibacterial medicine.Moreover, as far as the finished medicines developed by our medical research institutes are concerned, the actual quantity is not large, so it is naturally inappropriate to use them in large quantities.

Just according to the effect of the clinical trials of the rear medicine, this penicillin is more effective than sulfonamide.It can effectively inhibit scarlet fever, suppurative pharyngitis, various tuberculosis, septicemia, pneumonia, typhoid and other diseases.

In the future, in addition to ensuring the use of our troops, this kind of medicine should be a new source of central fiscal revenue if it is sold to the outside world.However, this matter has to wait until I return to Yulin and discuss it with the people in the Medical Research Institute.

At least I hope that Vice Chairman Zhou will organize some intelligence personnel to act as drug dealers temporarily.Sell ​​these medicines to those foreigners, and the price of each penicillin is settled in gold. "

'Gold settlement?This medicine is so expensive? '

Seeing Boss He's surprised expression, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This medicine can also cure some special diseases. For people who contract this disease, if they don't have this specific medicine, they can only sit and eat." wait to die.

In this case, not to mention the price compared to gold, even if they want half of their property, they will probably be ecstatic, right?So I plan to let people from the intelligence department collect some information on foreign consular military attaches in China.

If anyone suffers from diseases that are currently incurable, give him a trial of this medicine.If you want to buy medicine after it has the effect, then wait for real money in exchange, first to stir up the reputation of this medicine.

In this way, the profits from future sales will not only allow our soldiers to use this relatively cheap drug, but also use this drug to solve financial shortages through export sales. "
