Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"Okay! Chief Li, go slowly!"

Yang Fan stood up and sent Li Zongren to the gate all the way!

"Sigh, I really don't know how Yang Fan managed to build such a beautiful, rich and stable city under the situation of raging war!"

After walking out of Yang's Mansion and coming to the spacious and prosperous commercial street, Li Zongren felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he recalled what he had seen and heard in person these days!

If it weren't for the current national crisis, if the War of Resistance Against Japan was not still in the difficult defensive stage, if it wasn't for the important historical mission on his shoulders, Li Zongren really wanted to put aside all fame, wealth and troubles, and live in peace in this paradise!

Chapter 443 The fellow meets fellow

On the evening of September 9, according to the agreed time, Li Zongren arrived at the Flying Tigers Air Force Base by car.

This time, Yang Fan sent a CH-46 "Sea Knight" transport helicopter as a special plane to directly transport Li Zongren to the commander's headquarters of the fifth war zone, which was raging with war.

The "Sea Knight" transport helicopter has a maximum take-off weight of 11 tons, a maximum speed of 265 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 1,110 kilometers. As long as there are no accidents, there is no pressure to reach the destination!

In addition to more than 2 tons of return gasoline on the transport plane, Yang Fan also presented Li Zongren with a large amount of medicines, as well as a small amount of equipment and items such as telescopes, radio stations, combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, amethyst rice, Dazhong cigarettes, Maotai wine, etc.!

"Thank you, Commander Yang, and I look forward to having the opportunity to fight side by side to kill little devils in the future! We will meet later!"

After boarding the helicopter and standing at the door of the cabin, Li Zongren saluted Yang Fan solemnly.

"Take care, Chief Li! There will definitely be such an opportunity in the future!"

Yang Fan returned the salute solemnly, watching the helicopter disappear into the night before looking away.

For the sake of safety, this helicopter delivery is still carried out at night. Although this will increase the difficulty, the safety factor will be greatly improved. Don't worry about being discovered by the Japanese army and using the air force to intercept and chase!

After more than 3 hours, after a long journey, the helicopter finally arrived at the destination without any risk, and landed in an open space marked with a campfire!

"Haha, brother Delin, looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon is finally looking forward to your return! Now the battle situation in the fifth theater is anxious, and the casualties are heavy. With you coming back to preside over the overall situation, everyone can feel at ease!"

As soon as Li Zongren got off the plane, Bai Chongxi, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a happy face, hugged and shook hands with great enthusiasm.

Seeing fellow villagers with tears in their eyes, after more than two months of absence, the two really felt the joy and excitement of reuniting after a long absence.

Bai Chongxi's phone call just now was really not polite. The fifth war zone has just rested for more than two months and hasn't recovered its vitality yet, and has entered an endless bloody battle.

However, after fighting hard for more than a month, all the troops paid a very painful price of casualties, but the battle situation was collapsing day by day, and they were unable to create a record comparable to the Taierzhuang victory!

It can only use flesh and blood to consume the Japanese army a little bit, and slow down the pace of the Japanese army's attack!

Bai Chongxi was quite excited when he was appointed as the acting chief of the fifth war zone. Although after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he took the initiative to go to Nanjing to take up the post and received the extremely courteous reception from Chairman Jiang, but he did not have the opportunity to lead the army alone!

Claiming to have extraordinary strategic vision and tactical ability, Bai Chongxi naturally wants to be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make immortal historical feats.

However, the situation is stronger than the people. Most of the fifth war zone is composed of local miscellaneous troops, and they are extremely vulnerable in terms of equipment and supplies. Although the soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice and are brave enough to sacrifice, it is difficult to form an advantage in front of the elite Japanese troops. Don't mention anti-encirclement and suppression!

Li Zongren said with a smile: "Where, where! Jiansheng, you have worked hard these days. Although I am in Gaomi, I still know your situation very well!

You and the brothers are worthy of being the pillars of the country and the soul of the nation. At this time of national crisis, we still need to continue to deal with the Japanese invaders until they are driven out of China! "

Li Zongren is two years older than Bai Chongxi. The two are classmates. They are the first and second leaders of the Xingui Clan. They have cooperated closely for many years and are usually called "Li Bai" together.

They are still fellow villagers, and they are not ordinary fellow villagers.

Li Zongren is from Liangjiang, and Bai Chongxi is from Huixian. They belong to the two townships below Lingui County in Guilin. They are very close to each other. They either speak Guiliu dialect or the local dialect. This consistency of origin determines that their alliance is very strong. .

At first, the two joined Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary camp in Guangzhou, and then joined forces to drive out the old warlords in Guangxi. Together with Huang Shaohong, they were called the three new warlords of the Guangxi Clan.

Of course, without Bai Chongxi's military talent, Li Zongren's political status would not have been there. The Guangxi faction led by the two dominated the Bagui Army without being a lord, governing the province of Guangxi without picking up things on the road, and never closing its doors at night. It became a famous model province during the Republic of China.

The four characters "military but not powerful" just reflect Zongren's ability, because it is useless to rely on military alone in the current troubled times, which is the biggest reason why Li Zongren died well.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zongren pointed at the enormous Sea Knight helicopter and said, "Thanks to Commander Yang's generous help this time, not only has my dental disease for many years been completely cured, but also a lot of supplies have been sent back and forth!

Now hurry up and let people unload the supplies, so that the brothers of the Huben Army can return to Gaomi as soon as possible overnight! "

"Okay! We must always remember Commander Yang's kindness!"

Looking at the 13.92-meter-long, 16-meter-rotor diameter, and 5.09-meter-high figure in front of him, Bai Chongxi felt an indescribable shock!

Sea Knight sent a large amount of medicine to the Fifth War Zone before. Bai Chongxi did not see it with his own eyes, but he heard it later. Today is the first time he has seen such a high-tech product that transcends the times with his own eyes!

After being busy for a while, all the various materials weighing more than 5 tons were finally moved off the helicopter. After filling up the fuel, the helicopter slowly lifted into the air with a deafening roar, and soon completely disappeared into the night. !

"Wow, so many medicines and goodies!"

"Yeah, these radios and telescopes are brand new!"

"Hey! The Huaxia Huben Army is really rich!"

"Needless to say, just looking at that plane is enough to make people breathtaking!"

"Hey, boss, there are so many good cigarettes and wine, can you share some with the brothers!"

After watching the helicopter go away, Bai Chongxi and others swarmed up to see what good things were there.

Not to mention those urgently needed life-saving medicines, which are comparable to the price of gold, even these exquisitely packaged cigarettes and alcohol are worth a lot of money, and they are simply luxury items that are hard to buy on the front line where the gunfire is raging!

Smiling and watching for a while, Bai Chongxi turned to look at Li Zongren and said, "Brother Delin, you are exhausted from the journey, why don't you go back to the house and have a good rest, and I will wash you off at noon tomorrow!"

Li Zongren waved his hands and said, "I'm not that delicate! I want to have a long talk with you now. I really benefited a lot from Gaomi this time, and I really want to share it with you!"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!"

Bai Chongxi laughed, and really wanted to know what extra gains Li Zongren had gained from this trip, and even more wanted to hear if Li Zongren had any clever plans for the current battle situation!

At 9 a.m. on September 24th, in Wilmington, a small town in Delaware, in the eastern United States, there is a meandering river flowing here.

In 1903, DuPont established a second major research center, the Central Experimental Station, next to the old gunpowder factory on the banks of the Brandywine River!

Wallace Carothers rushed into the laboratory, and when he saw Gerald Burchett who was doing the experiment, he hurriedly said loudly: "Burchett stop first, Come see what this is?"

Chapter 444 Missed [-] Million Dollars

"What do you mean? You let me see women's stockings? When did you have this habit?"

Burchet looked back and saw that Carruthers was holding a few pairs of translucent stockings in his hand, pushed his glasses for some unknown reason and said with a smirk:

"Shouldn't you go home and share this with your wife? I'm sure she will go crazy and satisfy all your physical needs!"

Silk stockings were first born in the 15th century. They can be used to modify legs, keep warm from cold, prevent edema, prevent sun protection and sweat.

At that time, the production of socks still had to rely on manual work? , and the initial service object was men, and the European courts and high society became obsessed with colorful pantyhose in the 16th century.

The history of silk stockings turned to the beginning of the [-]th century. Due to the popularity of ready-made clothes, fashion concepts were widely accepted by the public.

Fashion is no longer the privilege of the upper class, and women from all walks of life have joined the ranks of chasing fashion.

The shape of women's clothing has undergone breakthrough changes, full of the atmosphere of the times. Women have changed their soft appearance in the past, showing their toned calves generously.

Therefore, silk stockings have become an indispensable accessory for them, but the fibers used to produce socks are all taken from natural sources, such as cotton, wool and real silk.

These materials must be carefully cut and sewn before application, and because of their lack of elasticity, they are extremely expensive to manufacture and the resulting socks are prone to loosening.

Carothers glared at Burchet with caring eyes, and said quickly and urgently: "You idiot, open your eyes and carefully look at what material these stockings are made of?"

"what?"

After such a mention, Burchet seemed to grasp the point, quickly put down the dropper in his hand, then grabbed a pair of stockings, and looked carefully.

"I buy it! This, are these silk stockings made of nylon?"

After a long while, Burchet let out a loud exclamation, suddenly looked up at Carruthers and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Could it be that you have completed the production and application of nylon?"

"You idiot, apart from the research data, is there a pile of paste in your head?"

Carothers was so angry that his teeth were itching again, he took out a few more nylon stockings of different colors from his pocket and said, "Do you think we can manufacture such fine nylon stockings with our current level? And you can tell just by looking at them." These products are already very mature, definitely not the first generation of production trials!"

"Ah? You mean, there are other companies that have successfully developed nylon faster than us? And they have already entered mass production?"

Burchet was shocked immediately, if this is the case, something big will happen!

Burchet and Carothers synthesized polyamide 1935 on February 2, 28 after repeated experiments.

This polymer is insoluble in common solvents and has a high melting point of 263°C. Since it is closer in structure and properties to natural silk, the drawn fiber has a silky appearance and luster.

Its wear resistance and strength surpassed any kind of fiber at that time, and the price of raw materials was relatively cheap. DuPont decided to carry out commodity production and development.

In July 1938, DuPont completed the pilot test of polyamide fibers, and in the same month, toothbrushes using polyamide 7 as toothbrush hairs began to be put on the market.

On October 1938, 10, DuPont officially announced the birth of the world's first synthetic fiber, and named the synthetic fiber polyamide 27 as nylon, which later became the general term for polyamide synthetic fiber in English. product name.

It took DuPont 11 years to start the basic research of polymers, costing 2200 million US dollars, and 230 experts participated in the relevant work, and finally realized industrial production at the end of 1939.

"If it weren't for this, how could I be so anxious!"

Carothers gritted his teeth, pointed to a pair of flesh-colored stockings and said, "This stocking is the cheapest, but it costs $1.5 a pair! This one is $2 a pair, this one is $5 a pair, and this one is as high as $10 a pair!

That's a little stuff, and I'm spending a whole $18!This is just crazy! "

Burchett's pupils shrank and said, "The price is so high? How does the market respond? Can it be sold?"

Carothers roared angrily: "Those stupid women are all crazy, they are not buying luxury goods, they are simply grabbing Chinese cabbage!

Even my wife was one of them and spent a full $30 on 10 pairs of nylon stockings behind my back!This is crazy selling, I just watched for more than an hour, and saw that the merchant sold more than 600 pairs, and the revenue was as high as more than 2000 US dollars! "

"I buy it! This is too crazy! Could it be that someone in the company leaked the secret? I buy it, I really hope today is April Fool's Day!"

Burchet rolled his eyes, stretched out his hands to pull his hair in extreme pain, and felt that he had missed out on a whole [-] million dollars. It would be a lifetime of regret to miss such a great opportunity to get rich!

"There shouldn't be leaks, but there must be something wrong with it!"

Carothers was also in a hurry, and roared with great resentment: "I don't believe that there is any other country in the world that can complete the industrial production of nylon stockings before us! Unless the sun comes out from the west!"

Although DuPont began to use polyamide 7 as toothbrush bristles in July this year, the production and application of nylon stockings is still only a concept, and no corresponding industrial production technology has been formed at all!

"But facts speak louder than words!"

Burchet took a deep breath and asked anxiously: "Do you know which company produced this? Can we complete industrial production in a short time? Such a good opportunity cannot be missed!"

"That's why I was in a hurry to find you. We must report to the company as soon as possible! Find out who our competitors are!"

Carothers nodded. Although he is only a researcher, his desire for money is also extremely strong!

Since the other party can produce such high-quality nylon stockings, it probably means that the other party also has considerable capabilities in the production of other high polymer industries!

If this is the case, it will not be good news for the entire DuPont Company!

One stone caused a thousand waves, and the news quickly spread widely within DuPont and caused a great sensation.

Correspondingly, Dongxing Trading Company, which was making a fortune silently, was quickly exposed to the public, and various news, speculations and even investigations followed one after another!

Thanks to Yang Fan's foresight about this, his own system is powerful enough, and all operations of Dongxing Trading Company strictly abide by laws and regulations, whether it is product qualification certificates, customs procedures, or product taxation, everything is done seamlessly!

Otherwise, under the spotlight and magnifying glass, it would be really difficult for Dongxing Trading to justify itself, and it might lead to forced suppression!

Similarly, this storm of nylon will soon have a serious impact on the Japanese silk export industry. The relatively low price, excellent quality and sufficient supply will completely defeat the Japanese silk industry!

"Baga! How can Huaxia produce such high-quality stockings? This is not good news for the Great Japanese Empire!"

Koyama Hayato picked up a pair of nylon stockings, his eyes filled with sadness, then turned to look at Ao Ozaki next to him and said, "Ozaki-kun, what should we do next?"

Chapter 445 The Munich Conspiracy

Hayato Koyama's face was extremely gloomy. A few days ago, the hired murderer's murder plan failed miserably, and he also lost two elite agents on his side!

In Meng Wu'an's subsequent investigation and counterattack, many senior Japanese agents lurking in Chinatown were also arrested and dealt with secretly. The previous battle can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army!

And now, the Dongxing Trading Company, which popped up almost overnight, has launched nylon stockings, which not only sell at high prices, but also pose a great threat to Japan's silk export industry!

Akira Ozaki said in a very solemn tone: "This is indeed extremely bad news for the Great Japanese Empire. It is unexpected that China can produce such excellent stockings!

For the current plan, we can do both, and we must not let this kind of stockings run rampant in the United States!Otherwise it will be a disaster for the empire! "

Hayato Koyama nodded with a gloomy expression and said: "What Ozaki said is very true, if Chinese companies absorb a lot of dollars through these stockings, it will definitely have a major impact on the Great Japanese Empire and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!

So if you have any good strategies, please feel free to tell me! "

Akira Ozaki said coldly: "First of all, we have to find out where this stocking manufacturer is, if it is in the United States, we have to do our best to destroy it completely!

If it is in China, then the Imperial Japanese Army needs to block the waterway and blow up the production factories as much as possible! "

After a pause, Akira Ozaki went on to say: "According to the information, it is not only our Empire of Japan that is hostile to this newly emerged Dongxing Trading Company, even American companies are eyeing it!

There is an old saying in Huaxia that it is easy to use strength to make strength, and we can definitely seek more partners! "

"Wow! Ozaki-kun is right!"

Takeyota, the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in the United States, thought he was nodding and said: "In the United States, the status of the Chinese is very low and they are excluded, and even the mainstream American society has a deep hostility towards them!
