Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 510: The birth of a divine weapon? Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country!
By early May, Bao Guowei had completed the writing of "Macroeconomics".

Since he proposed relevant theories in Europe, Keynes officially started the study of macroeconomics.

This was five years earlier than the original history, when Keynes published "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money", marking the birth of macroeconomics.

Of course, Keynes and even more economists have never thought about macroeconomics.

However, so far, only Bao Guowei has proposed a systematic macroeconomic theory.

Since then, the name Bao Guowei has been forever engraved in the history of the development of macroeconomics, and no one can avoid it.

Even many of the theories and future development directions proposed by Bao Guowei have become research topics for the world's cutting-edge economists.

Whether it is Keynes, Hoffman, Hayek or even many other economists, some of them may not agree with Bao Guowei's economic views.

But we dare not ignore the existence of this oriental boy in the field of economics.

Therefore, the publication of this book "Macroeconomics" is undoubtedly exciting.

In the past, Bao Guowei demonstrated his economic theories through "Small Island Economics" and various speeches and talks.

The theory is indeed systematic and complete, but it still needs to be organized.

But with the publication of this book, it marked the birth of Bao Guowei's personal professional economics work.

This is not only a milestone in his personal academic career, but also a milestone in the academic circles of the Republic of China today.

Even though Chiang Menglin had some complaints about Bao Guowei because of the previous speech, he still gave him the greatest respect after learning that this book was published.

Jiang Menglin immediately announced to the public that Bao Guowei would soon start teaching at Peking University and would give the first economics lecture in the largest classroom in what is now Peking University’s Red Building.

Later, if there are sufficient teaching staff, Jiang Menglin also plans to offer a separate elective course, "Macroeconomics", for Peking University teachers and students to study.

It is worth mentioning that this first class is also open to the public.

Of course, before the class started, Chiang Menglin repeatedly warned Bao Guowei not to mention anything related to politics.

With the attitude that Jiang Menglin showed when he came to the mansion, he almost knelt down to Bao Guowei.

This shows how much pressure the principal is under.

On the one hand, there is the support of the student group and many academic masters for Bao Guowei, while on the other hand, there are the dissatisfaction of many politicians and the opposition who hate Bao Guowei.

Just because Zhang Xueliang and Chang Kai-shen did not express their views does not mean that the people below them will not take action.

Speaking of this, Bao Guowei felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, he never wanted to get involved in politics.

"Sir, sometimes I just can't help myself!"

Bao Guowei put his arm around Jiang Menglin's shoulders and said with a smile.

Jiang Menglin's face turned blue and purple.

In the end, Bao Guowei had no choice but to promise Chiang Menglin.

"Don't worry, Mr. Principal. What I talked about before was my personal experience, so naturally I had some emotions. They were all the output of my outlook on life and values. This course is the professional field of Macroeconomics. At most, I will mention the current economic situation and will not touch too much on politics."

Jiang Menglin still reminded: "It is best not to mention current events. You can cite some foreign events or those during the Beiyang period."

After much persuasion, the principal was finally sent out.

Seeing the other person's slightly hunched back, Bao Guowei understood that this gentleman might not be perfect in all aspects, but he was still very pure when it came to education.

He really wants to run Peking University well.

Bao Guowei naturally had his own standards in mind, and he knew that Peking University would not be brought down no matter what.

As for arousing the patriotic feelings of ordinary students and the general public, it allows everyone to understand the Japanese ambitions and current difficulties.

This doesn't require Bao Guowei to continue working hard.

Because of these two events, a vigorous anti-Japanese movement was launched in Northeast China, North China, and even the whole country.

One was the Wanbaoshan Incident in April, which occurred in the Wanbaoshan area of ​​Songhua Province. The incident was caused by the Japanese who, in order to create chaos in the Northeast, migrated many immigrants from Goryeo and deliberately instigated the immigrants to conflict with local residents.

The Japanese consul at the time, Shigenori Tashiro, took the opportunity to escalate the situation and sent Japanese military forces to "protect" the immigrants, killing many ordinary residents of Wanbaoshan.

Afterwards, the Japanese even turned the tables and launched distorted reports about China in the Goryeo region.

The second is the recent Nakamura incident, in which the Japanese sent intelligence officer Nakamura Shintaro to conduct various reconnaissance activities in the Northeast region under the name of "agricultural investigation", mainly targeting various types of military terrain data.

These people were accidentally captured by the reclamation army. Military maps, telescopes, mapping instruments, etc. were found at the scene. They were subsequently executed on charges of espionage.

At this time, the Japanese also exaggerated the situation and used various propaganda machines to widely publicize in China and internationally that "Japanese were innocently killed by Chinese armed forces."

Affected by this, even many domestic bugs spoke up for the Japanese, expressing very "sad" feelings such as "the Chinese are too sensitive" and "the Chinese are about to lose their friends".

Bao Guowei had anticipated the occurrence of these two events, but he did not rush to become an "opinion leader". Instead, he waited quietly for the events to develop.

As expected, the Japanese have repeatedly confused right and wrong and called a horse a zebra, which has made the Chinese people unable to bear it any longer.

No matter how many pro-Japanese factions try to whitewash the Japanese for their various shameless acts, they can no longer deceive the people.

Coupled with Bao Guowei's analysis of the Japanese character and his exposure of their ambitions to covet China, more and more people are filled with indignation.

It started in the Northeast, followed by the response of students in Peking, and finally the movement spread across the country.

The anti-Japanese movement has now spread to major cities across the country, and many of Bao Guowei's readers have obviously played a key organizational role.

Dai Wangshu, for example, has now become an important member of the Shanghai student organization, and these people are brought together by Bao Guowei's works.

With passion in their hearts, they took to the streets, wrote articles, and spoke out for justice.

Boycott Japanese products and all kinds of propaganda machines with Japanese background.

Of course, with the correct guidance of the organization, this force of resistance is no longer blind, but is directed towards those institutions and organizations.

This is the impact brought by Bao Guowei.

As for Zhang Xueliang and Chang Kai-shen, both of them still maintain the same attitude as before.

The former was not very tough and did not resort to any violent suppression in the face of student demonstrations. Instead, it simply imposed some restrictions to suppress voices against the Japanese.

The latter wrote an article in advance titled "Ask the compatriots across the country to unite and maintain domestic stability and resist foreign aggression", fully demonstrating his attitude of being submissive to foreign countries but attacking hard at home.

It’s not that they don’t understand the Japanese, it’s just for their own benefit.

In their view, the life and death of millions of ordinary people are not the main issues on the table for discussion.

But since then, Bao Guowei has done his best.

These days, Zhang Nianyue was very worried about her husband's condition.

Bao Guowei would often burst into laughter when he saw the newspaper, and would often get furious when he saw the news.

She knew that her husband said he didn't care, said he didn't get involved in politics, and said he only cared about the areas he was good at.

In fact, I care most about national affairs.

But even Zhang Nianyue didn't know how to comfort the other person.

Time soon arrived and the day of the "Macroeconomics" class began. Bao Guowei prepared the books and textbooks early in the morning and got up with dark circles under his eyes.

Classes start in the Peking University Red Building in the morning.

These days, the book Macroeconomics has not been published.

On the one hand, Bao Guowei still had to revise some content, and on the other hand, he also wanted to make today's course more attractive.

Before going out, Bao Guowei washed his face with clean water to make himself more awake.

Before leaving the study, he glanced at the manuscript paper on the table, on which were written several words "criminal Zhang Xueliang". On many sheets of manuscript paper, there were also plans he had written about military operations in the north.

Shaking his head, he crumpled up the stack of manuscript papers on the table and threw them into the trash can.

Then he walked out the door in a hurry.

"Cao Yanhai! Cao Yanhai! Where the hell have you been? Did you forget to go to the Red Mansion today?"

Bao Guowei shouted at the top of his lungs in the yard.

There is still some distance between the Siheyuan and the Red Building, so driving would obviously be faster, and Bao Guowei also has time to prepare.

"Hey~ I'm coming~ Master, I'm here."

Cao Yanhai suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He knew that his master had been in a bad temper recently, and was especially sensitive to the name "Zhang Xueliang".

When mentioning this person, the master's tone was as if he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, which was enough to show the master's hatred for this person.

Cao Yanhai once suggested to Bao Guowei that he should assassinate the other party himself to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

However, he did not expect that after he put forward this suggestion, he was kicked out by Bao Guowei.

"He, Zhang Hanqing, must not die."

Cao Yanhai couldn't understand his master's train of thought, so he could only keep his neck down and do his work these days. He even rarely visited the prostitutes in the next alley.

But today, Cao Yanhai acted contrary to his usual behavior and acted confidently.

"Master, please don't blame me. I had something to do today, so I'm a little late." Bao Guowei frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Yes!" Cao Yanhai nodded.

He immediately took out a few letters as if to please him, and handed them to Bao Guowei and said.

"Isn't this a letter? These letters of yours are confidential. I have to go out and get them."

"Go out and get it?"

Many of Bao Guowei's current affairs, if handled through the ordinary postal system, would inevitably be monitored by all parties.

Therefore, his contacts with some organizations and individuals were basically through underground channels.

Bao Guowei immediately understood what was going on. He took the letter, opened it, and after reading the contents, his hands trembled.

Come to think of it, these addresses don't seem to be confidential.

One is Xiang Songmao’s Wuzhou Pharmacy in Shanghai.

One is Tongji University in Shanghai.

The last one is a little more suspicious, but most people can’t see any clues. It is from the northern Fujian region.

But the content of the letter is very explosive.

In summary, all three parties are reporting the same message to Bao Guowei.

That is, the sustained-release penicillin proposed by Bao Guowei at Tongji University has been officially produced in an actual factory, and the first batch has officially left the production line one month ago.

Unfortunately, even if the top domestic companies are brought together, it is still difficult to increase production due to reasons such as electricity and production equipment.

When the first batch came out, Xiang Songmao’s Wuzhou Pharmacy only secretly produced sixty bottles a month.

Scholars from Tongji University made ten bottles themselves.

The industrial zone in northern Fujian, with the support of entrepreneurs such as Fan Xudong, Hou Debang, Xiang Songmao, as well as Professor Zhu Kezhen and the power of the Soviet area, achieved a monthly production of 100 bottles.

A total of 170 bottles, approximately 50,000 units of penicillin.

This amount is just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire country.

But it is still exciting news.

You should know that historically, penicillin was not officially mass-produced until after 1943, and a factory could only produce a few hundred bottles a month. This was despite the mature technology and the strong industrial strength of the United States at the time.

And now, China is twelve years ahead and has achieved the production of penicillin.

One hundred and seventy bottles are not a lot, but if all of them were thrown into the battlefield where they should be, it would cost the lives of more than one hundred soldiers.

The significance of this can be seen from this.

Fang Xinchuan, who had been hiding in Tongji University and obsessed with penicillin research, said this to Bao Guowei in a letter.

"Bingwen! This is not only a major breakthrough in Chinese medicine, but also a major advancement in the medical field for all mankind. From now on, the era when infectious diseases were almost untreatable is over!

Countless Chinese warriors will survive because of this!
Countless lives in the world will be saved!
I don’t know how to express my feelings, I just want to tell you that I, Fang Xinchuan, am extremely fortunate to follow you in Hangzhou!

Even if we put all our efforts into this research, even after the successful development, we can only hide this achievement.
But for my ideal as a scientist, I have already received the greatest reward!

I have great confidence in your vision for China's future!
We will stand up eventually!"

There are also letters from Mr. Zhu Kezhen, as well as messages from Fan Xudong and Hou Debang.

These words made Bao Guowei's eyes a little dazzled.

"Master, what happened to you? Did you succeed? Are we still going to the Red Mansion?"

Cao Yanhai didn't go over to peek at the contents of the letter, but he could guess a little.

Bao Guowei paused and asked.

"Are there any other things along with the letter?"

"There is also a large box, which is said to have been sent from Tongji University."

"Go get it!"

"Oh, okay!" Cao Yanhai immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Although he had not come into contact with penicillin, he had visited Tongji University's research institute and knew something about it.

Knowing the importance of this thing, he ran towards the room without saying a word.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the study and locked the door.

A wooden box the size of a suitcase was placed on the table.

The box was packed very tightly and had obviously been handled with great care.

In this day and age, it is very difficult to send something by mail.

Fortunately, this thing was delivered from Shanghai to Beijing by a special person through the channel provided by Zhu Kezhen.

It is just to let Bao Guowei see it as soon as possible.

Although he already knew what was inside, Bao Guowei's hands still trembled a little.

He suppressed his emotions and asked Cao Yanhai to help him open the wooden box layer by layer.

When I opened the wooden board, I first found a layer of plastic wrapping paper inside, and the shock-absorbing layer was actually a large layer of cotton.

This was undoubtedly an extremely luxurious thing in the era of material scarcity in the Republic of China.

Finally, after removing the multiple layers, I saw a small suitcase.

With a "click", Bao Guowei unlocked the combination lock of the suitcase. It was obvious that he already knew the combination.

"Master! This~"

The moment Cao Yanhai saw the scene, he exclaimed and looked at Bao Guowei in disbelief.

There were ten small bottles neatly arranged in a row on the cotton mat inside the box.

The small cylindrical bottle is only a few centimeters long and has a paper label without any manufacturer.

There are only a few traditional Chinese characters: "50,000 units of penicillin, made in China."

Bao Guowei gently picked up a bottle with his fingers and shook the clear liquid in the cylindrical glass bottle.

He knew that this matter could not be hidden from Cao Yanhai.

It's hard to hide this thing by yourself.

However, he did not answer Cao Yanhai's question, but gave instructions.

"Hide this thing well. You must treat the things in this box as more important than your own life!"

Cao Yanhai's eyes suddenly became firm. He no longer had any doubts and patted his chest and said.

"Master, don't worry. I, Lao Cao, may be a rough man, but I know what is important. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect this box!"

Bao Guowei nodded without saying anything else, put the bottle back, closed and locked the box again.

Just when Cao Yanhai was about to clean up, he heard Bao Guowei say.

"The Red Mansion class starts at ten o'clock, right?"

"Yes." Cao Yanhai nodded. "What's wrong? Master, you don't plan to go?"

Bao Guowei shook his head: "It would be strange if I didn't go. I asked someone to tell Jiang Menglin that I have some data to check, so I will be there half an hour later."

"Half an hour later?" Cao Yanhai was a little confused. "Then where are we going?"

Bao Guowei smiled and said, "Of course I have to go to the Marshal's Mansion to meet Zhang Hanqing."

"Ah?" Cao Yanhai didn't understand what Bao Guowei meant.

Bao Guowei said without hesitation: "Just go and prepare."

"alright."

Cao Yanhai scratched his head.

He decided to go back to his room, find the secret compartment under the bed, and take out his hidden weapons.

Who knows, Master might be thinking of going to the Marshal's Mansion to kill that kid Zhang Hanqing?
But why?

Shouldn't it?
Unable to figure it out, Cao Yanhai stopped thinking about it and went about preparing on his own.

Bao Guowei took out his original plan for the Northern Incident from the trash can.

He spread out the crumpled manuscript, lost in thought.

Zhu Kezhen gave himself the only ten bottles of penicillin they produced.

Then I must use this to play the greatest role!
