1949 I am from the future

【405】New drug arrival

In addition to the First Marine Division demonstrating its powerful attack power on land, U.S. air power is also in action.

Eight Corsair carrier-based aircraft that took off from the Sicily aircraft carrier discovered another tank company of the People's Army, six T34s, and immediately began a dive attack. They dropped 16 150-pound napalm bombs and 16 A 500-pound iron bomb destroyed three of them on the spot, and one of the pirates was shot down by heavy machine gun fire from the People's Army.Subsequently, the second wave of eight other Corsair carrier-based aircraft arrived and destroyed all the remaining three T3s.

On the Jingren Highway, the only two tank companies deployed at the moment were wiped out in the hands of the First Marine Division and the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier.

After occupying Incheon, the Navy Corps of Engineers and the underwater demolition team quickly cleared the threat of shipwrecks in the channel, and erected buoy docks on the beach. By the night of August 8, the US military had unloaded 17 vehicles of various types in Incheon, 4547 soldiers.

The US military's maritime transportation capabilities are unparalleled in this era.The sea seems to be a wide 16-lane highway for the US military.

After the three armed forces made a successful landing in one fell swoop, the U.S. military discovered that the Jingren Highway was dug up by the People's Army, and it was covered with multi-layered trenches with a depth of 6 kilometers.But since the U.S. military has acted, it will not stop, so the artillery of the U.S. military started, and more than 400 large-caliber artillery began to cover the fortifications of the People's Army after building a temporary artillery position.

The South Korean 17th Infantry Regiment and the four South Korean Marine Battalions were used as the main force of the infantry coordinated army, and launched a one-day charge to the People's Army positions.

The meat grinder has appeared again, but this time, not in Busan, but west of Seoul.

There was a brief stalemate in the battle on the Jingren Highway.

MacArthur, who was watching the development of the battle proudly on the "Mount McKinley", after hearing the news of being blocked, ordered the new commander of the Tenth Army, General Almond, who he had just formed, to use powerful firepower to attack Seoul immediately. channel.

General Almond ordered that the naval aviation go all out to bomb the People's Army's fortifications around the clock.The primary goal is to assist the [-]st Marine Division to take down Gimpo Airport, which is located between Incheon and Seoul.

Once this large airport with a length of 2000 meters and a width of 50 meters is captured, the US military will gain a crucial front-line airport.Of course, the People's Army understands this truth. They have already arranged explosives on the airport runway, ready to blow up the airport runway at any time, and deployed more than 1000 defenders around the airport.

Xiaoqiang, who is far away in the northern capital, is staying in the war room of the Ministry of National Defense at this time, listening to the combat staff analyzing the battle reports sent back from the front.

"Gimpo Airport is so important, why bother to ask the People's Army to blow it up quickly? If it falls into the hands of the US military, their air force will have a front-line foothold." Xiaoqiang complained.

Mr. Peng on the side frowned and said: "This shows that the People's Army still has illusions. Their planes still hope to rely on Gimpo Airport to carry out night attacks on the U.S. troops landing in Incheon. We also heard before that their Bo-2 light The bombers have attacked at night several times, and they have successfully harassed the U.S. military."

Xiaoqiang turned his face from the map and smiled at Mr. Peng: "Mr. Peng, in the future when the volunteer army enters the court, you will let me be the first volunteer."

Boss Peng didn't even look at Xiaoqiang, and refused straight away: "Are you kidding, you can't go to anyone."

Probably because he felt his tone was too heavy, he added in a low voice: "If the front line can be stabilized, you can go and have a look after getting the chairman's approval."

Xiaoqiang said dejectedly: "Every time I go to war, I don't take me with me. I went to Zhoushan, Taiwan, and now I go to North Korea. I have never seen a battlefield."

Mr. Peng took off his glasses and turned his face away, facing Xiao Qiang, dumbfounded, and said: "What's so special about the battlefield, haven't you seen the movie, it's all the same. You know, the front line is very dangerous. Bullets don’t have eyes, and the U.S. military still has air strikes. Xiaoqiang, don’t pester me all the time. If you want to pester me, go pester the chairman. If the chairman agrees, I’ll take you there.”

Xiaoqiang hit a snag, but had no choice but to shut up.He knew that even if he went to the chairman, he probably would not get approval.

At the end of the combat meeting, Mr. Peng drove Xiaoqiang home, but he did not leave and continued to study the map in the war room.

Xiaoqiang then slipped away and went home directly.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiaoqiang couldn't help sighing.

Meng Sisi heard Xiaoqiang coming home, walked quickly from the back room into the living room, went up to take Xiaoqiang's purse.Seeing that Xiaoqiang was a little tired, she said, "Why are you sighing?"

Immediately, she pushed open the door again, and shouted to the yard: "Dongzi, tell Lao He to serve dinner."

Dongzi, who was already helping in the kitchen, agreed from afar.

Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa and said to Meng Sisi who was busy helping him to pour the wash water and wring the wash towel: "It wasn't the Korean War, the Americans landed in Incheon, and it seems that sooner or later they will arrive at our door. It’s too much of a bully, isn’t it? I want to join the volunteer army to fight in North Korea, but Boss Peng won’t take me.”

Meng Sisi was startled, came over with a towel, knelt on the sofa next to Xiaoqiang, wiped Xiaoqiang's face, and made a fuss: "Don't talk nonsense, you can't go to North Korea, we just got married, you are going to the battlefield , that's not acceptable."

Xiaoqiang was comfortably wiped by Meng Sisi's hot towel, and he murmured: "There are so many soldiers in the army, are there still fewer people who go to the front line as soon as they get married? If I don't go to the battlefield, when will I be able to fulfill my burden in this life?" A gun fights a dream."

After wiping Xiaoqiang's dirty face, Meng Sisi knelt on the sofa with her arms around Xiaoqiang's neck, her big eyes flickering, staring at Xiaoqiang with resentment, and said: "Jing nonsense, there are so many people in the country, not everyone wants to fight, they always have to fight." There are workers going to work, students studying, farmers farming, you are so busy at work every day, and you often travel on business, it is as important as fighting! If you dare to go to North Korea, I will go too!"

Xiaoqiang forced a smile, feeling a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Meng Sisi quickly gave him a sip, pulled him up and said, "Don't think about joining the army anymore, I won't allow you, go eat quickly, today I asked Lao He to cook your favorite braised pork. How old are you? Damn, don't say such unreliable crazy things in the future."

Far away in the Lake Success Conference Center on Long Island, New York, Qiao Guanhua, Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations, is conveying the voice of China very seriously in the Security Council.

"...Since China's national security is involved, China is seriously concerned about the development of the current war situation on the Korean Peninsula. We have to issue a warning here, and we request that the US and multinational forces not cross the [-]th parallel. Otherwise, China It is possible to use military force at any time to help restore peace on the Korean peninsula..."

Historically, China invited the Indian ambassador Paniker to send a message to the United States, but the United States ignored it.Compared with history, China is finally able to speak in the United Nations this time.

But language is useless in the face of the gap in strength.The American ambassador only responded to Ambassador Qiao's sonorous warning with a cold face, and after Ambassador Qiao finished speaking, he accused in turn that it was precisely because of the opposition from China and the Soviet Union that the United Nations could not play its normal role in sending troops to help North Korea maintain peace. The multinational forces in China are now paying for the abuse of veto power by China and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet representative to the United Nations, Gromyko, immediately began to refute...

Although due to the issue of national power, China still had to maintain formation with the Soviet Union in this circle of the most powerful, but during this period, Ambassador Qiao Guanhua also successfully contacted the ambassadors of many countries to the United Nations.

When countries around the world understand that the Chinese government is not radical and its domestic and foreign policies are moderate, especially China's Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After Ambassador Qiao's explanation, it has been approved by all countries.

After getting familiar with the general environment of the United Nations and the operating mechanism of the United Nations, Ambassador Qiao contacted the Secretary-General of the United Nations Lie repeatedly, hoping that Secretary-General Lie could urge the United States to discuss a peaceful solution to the Korean War within the framework of the United Nations. way.

Although Lie actively agreed with China to replace the former Republic of China as the legitimate seat of the United Nations, on the issue of the Korean Peninsula, Lie was partial to South Korea.

He said that after the United States deports North Korea back to the north of the [-]th parallel, he will urge the United States to bring the resolution of the North Korean issue back to the UN agenda.This remark obviously disagreed with the Sino-Soviet statement that "the Korean War is an internal affair of North Korea, and other countries have no right to interfere."

After several contacts, I heard Li Yi say this. Ambassador Qiao had no choice but to report to the country that "the North Korean issue is no longer possible to be peacefully resolved through diplomatic means."

In terms of non-governmental contacts, Ambassador Qiao, on behalf of China, reached an agreement with the four major pharmaceutical distribution giants in the United States, McKesson, Cardinal Health, Bergen Bruce Weig, and Amexos HiSilicon, and will provide the four major pharmaceutical distribution giants with preferential prices. The specific drugs for tuberculosis are isoniazid and streptomycin.According to the contract, the four giants do not monopolize the right to sell the two drugs in the US market, but the Chinese party must guarantee in the contract that the price for the four giants is lower than the wholesale price for other trading companies in the United States. A firm has a monopoly on the US market for tuberculosis drugs.

Although Ambassador Qiao hoped that the Big Four could help China get approval to establish a pharmaceutical company in the United States, due to the great resistance from the US government, Ambassador Qiao had no choice but to temporarily abandon this plan.

In the eyes of the U.S. government, China may be able to produce certain special medicines, but it does not mean that sanctions against China can be relaxed. If the Chinese set up pharmaceutical companies to import medicines from the U.S. to support countries such as North Korea, it is not for the U.S. * * Is the team blocking?

As for the penicillin that was rampant in the world before, the U.S. government does not think it is made in China. They stubbornly believe that the 20 units and [-] units of penicillin that are flooding the market are products of East Germany.

Speaking of penicillin, I have to mention that several major antibiotic manufacturers in the United States are worried about the current plummeting price of penicillin in the world.

Despite repeated cost reductions, Pfizer has reduced the cost of penicillin per bottle of 3 units to less than 12 cents, and the ex-factory cost price of penicillin powder in a box of 0.5 bottles has been reduced to 12 US dollars.But when Pfizer announced a big price cut with full confidence, and the wholesale price of each box of 1 packs was only [-] US dollar, the evildoer appeared!

Bayer Pharmaceuticals was clinging to one dollar a box, six bottles of 20 units of penicillin per box, and announced that it will completely stop production!In the future, only 12 units of penicillin will be produced, and the packaging will be changed to a pack of 1 sticks, but the price is still the same as the 12 units that Pfizer just reduced the price, and a box only costs [-] US dollar!The world's general underwriter of Bayer Pharma, Starlight Hong Kong, vowed that this is because East Germany's labor is too expensive and the cost of pasting paper boxes is too high, so the [-] bottles of penicillin that originally used two paper boxes are now only used A box, and it is a cheap carton pasted in mainland China, so the cost is naturally reduced.

Pfizer almost fainted after hearing the news!Do you want $0.5 for an East German cardboard box?Also, why can't I see that the broken cardboard box was pasted by East Germany!Obviously there is no difference!Are you kidding me!

Pfizer knows the product. After analyzing the purity, they found that Bayer's product is really good. It is definitely produced in a large industry. Million units continue to hit the international market.If this continues, Pfizer's international market will be completely eaten up.If you don't speed up your own research and development and process improvement, maybe even if you want to keep the domestic market in the future, you may need to adopt some off-the-market tactics of trade protection policies.

Infuriated, several major pharmaceutical companies in the United States agreed after bargaining with the four major pharmaceutical distributors that they would also stop producing 1.1 units of penicillin and supply 20 units of penicillin to the four major companies at a meager profit price of $[-] per box.But there is only one condition. The four major companies must not import the cheating penicillin from East Germany into the US market.

At the same time, the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer ordered the engineers in its subordinate research institutes to reduce the cost of 0.1 units of penicillin to less than 20 cents as soon as possible, and to produce cheaper 40 units and 2011 units of penicillin as soon as possible. , to compete with the Bayer goods represented by Xingguanghang.And develop new antibiotics.This required a large investment in new chemical plants, so Pfizer announced that it would issue new shares to raise funds.U.S. antibiotic manufacturers are about to fight with the [-] goods.

As for Glaxo Wellcome Pharmaceuticals in the UK, in the face of Bayer’s product replacement and price cuts, it can only follow up and reduce 20 units of penicillin to $1 a dozen. Shareholders of the company have no profit on penicillin. It's a picture, and I can only make money from the profits of other medicines.

Due to the current global sales, the shipping tonnage of Starlight Line in Hong Kong is tight, and the North has also requested that it not stimulate the United States for the time being, and give priority to the world market other than the United States.Therefore, Starlight is on the cusp of this storm, and has not quoted a lower price to the four major pharmaceutical distributors in the United States for the time being.

But the market development of Xingguangxing has not stopped for a moment. They just got streptomycin, isoniazid, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, dipyridamole, sulfadiazine, aminopyrine, metamizine, vitamin B complex, vitamin C , glucose and other drugs supply.

Facing as many as [-] kinds of domestic medicines, Huo Yingdong is full of ambitions. He promises to the responsible comrades sent by the newly established national pharmaceutical export company to Starlight that as long as the supply of goods can be guaranteed, he will let China's domestic medicines be sold all over the world.
