Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 230 [-]: Pull the United States into the water (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass, ask for all kinds!!!)

Penicillin is completely popular, and now all countries in the world know and realize the value of penicillin. Not only private individuals have started hoarding penicillin in large quantities, but even the governments of various countries have also hoarded this special drug in large quantities.Now the U.S. government is so regretful that its guts have come out, it is really a big loss.

Roosevelt had a very good relationship with John, the current patriarch of the Morgan family. After he tried every means to inquire, he finally found out the profit of the first batch of penicillin drugs for the Morgan family. The net profit of 1500 million U.S. dollars completely stunned Roosevelt. You must know that the Morgan family only bought 1500 million U.S. dollars in goods this time, and they were sold out in less than half a month, and the return rate reached 100%.

Think about how stupid it is for me to reject the conditions of the Chinese general for the so-called economic benefits in order to make a deal with Ri himself.Although the trade volume between the U.S. government and Japan can reach 2 million U.S. dollars this year, so what? If the 2 million U.S. dollar transaction volume can have a profit of 3000 million U.S. dollars, it is very good. The Morgan family and the Rockefeller family only used They each earned 1500 million in half a month, and even the DuPont family, which only had agency rights in one country in Mexico, also earned 500 million US dollars, which was a heavy loss.

Seeing the huge profits of penicillin drugs, Roosevelt couldn't sit still now. In fact, as far as he was concerned, he didn't like to trade with Ri himself.But there is no way, it is beneficial to the United States to support Japan's expansion to the Asian continent. In the eyes of the American government, this is the best way to contain the red Soviet Union.

Second, the United States has just experienced the Great Depression.The aftermath of the economic crisis has not yet passed, and the domestic economic situation is very bad.According to the statistical results of the National Bureau of Statistics some time ago, in the United States with a population of about 1.2 million, there are 2400 million adults, men, women and children without any income, which is close to 22% of the total population.And this research report, like other reports, does not include the 1100 million rural people who are suffering in another kind of hell.

Millions of people are saved from death only by living like animals.Country folk in Pennsylvania eat weed roots and dandelions; people in Kentucky eat violet leaves, wild onions, forget-me-nots, wild lettuce, and weeds traditionally reserved for cattle.The mothers of children in the city waited on the pier, fighting with wild dogs whenever rotten fruits and vegetables were thrown out.

It is for this reason that the US government has to pay attention to trade with Japan in order to reduce the impact of the economic crisis on the United States.It was precisely for this reason that the US government rejected Chen Feng's conditions.I really have no money.Whoever is rich is willing to be this executioner.

After seeing penicillin's ability to make money, Roosevelt immediately made direct contact with Chen Feng through Claire. The United States was willing to accept the conditions proposed by the No. 40 Army, but the US government must obtain all agency rights in the American continent.Includes the continental United States as well as Canada and South America.Of course, the US government will provide Chen Feng with 5000 million US dollars of industrial equipment and industrial products at a time.

to be honest.This condition of the US government is not attractive at all. 5000 million US dollars is indeed a lot of goods, but according to the value and consumption of penicillin drugs, the 5000 million US dollars is just a profit for one or two months.

Although some Americans are poor.It may not be possible to use penicillin, which is as expensive as a box of $100, but at least 1 million of the 2000 million people can afford penicillin. In addition to the markets in Canada and South America, once the deal is concluded, the U.S. government will Fu's financial crisis will be greatly alleviated.So 6000 million is nothing compared to 5000 million or even 5 billion dollars in profits.

Moreover, the United States still has a large number of colonies in Asia. In addition, penicillin is not only a common drug, but also a strategic resource. Its magical curative effect on trauma can greatly reduce the death rate of troops.When medical observation teams from various countries conducted clinical trials in northern Serbia, various data showed that the mortality rate of the wounded was only about 15%, which was 55% lower than the world average of 40%.That is to say, in a war with the same conditions, countries with penicillin can die 4 layers less soldiers than countries without penicillin. As an outstanding politician, Roosevelt knows better than anyone what this concept is.Of course, Chen Feng was also aware of this.

Even though he knew this, Chen Feng couldn't refuse the conditions proposed by the United States, because as Japan's largest supplier of raw materials, the United States had too much influence on the Sino-Japanese war.More than half of the raw materials, especially iron, steel and oil, that kept the Japanese war machine running were obtained from the United States.

As long as these supplies are cut off, Japan will stop the war due to lack of resources.Of course, Chen Feng had another consideration.Isn’t the main reason for the full-scale outbreak of the Pacific War just because of war resources? Now that the Japanese war machine’s nii is cut off in advance, it is bound to allow the Japanese war crisis to break out early and pull the United States into the water in advance, which is of great benefit to China. .

After much deliberation, Chen Feng still decided to agree to the US government's conditions, but Chen Feng also had his own additional conditions, that is, the US must accept his arms order, this time what Chen Feng wanted was not ordinary arms, but warships.

陈锋计划即ri起向美国所有的造船厂下30艘大型舰船的订单，其中军舰22艘，包括2艘航母，3艘重巡洋舰，5艘轻巡洋舰以及12艘驱逐舰。另外还有3艘补给舰艇以及5艘潜艇。所有的舰船必须在2年的时间内交工。

To be honest, if it was just one or two warships, Roosevelt would never agree to Chen Feng.Roosevelt was not willing to offend Japan for a small profit. At this time, Japan was the most powerful country in the world. Invincible existence.

Conversely, look at the United States. Although the area is dozens of times that of Japan, and the population is about 5000 million more than the current Japan, the total number of troops in the United States at this time is less than 10, and the strength of the navy is not very good.In terms of pure military strength, the United States is really no match for Japan itself.

But now Chen Feng has ordered 30 large warships at once. After a preliminary estimate, this deal is worth at least 6000 million US dollars.Most importantly, Chen Feng also mentioned that as long as the industrial manufacturing capacity of the United States improves, he can continue to add orders.

This made Roosevelt not calm. The biggest crisis in the United States now does not come from the outside, but from the inside.Although the economic crisis that almost bankrupted the US government has been alleviated to a certain extent after the New Deal, it is still far from a complete economic recovery.Due to the backlog of a large number of industrial products, many heavy industrial enterprises have stopped production. If Chen Feng can really continue to add orders, how many enterprises can be revitalized and how many jobs can be provided, this account Roosevelt has to think carefully.

In view of the fact that Chen Feng's request was really difficult to decide, Roosevelt had to negotiate with the military and the leaders of the two major political parties. After all, this kind of thing can only be done in secret. to see.

Compared with the entanglement of the American government, the governments of several major European countries are much happier. When the first batch of penicillin was dumped on the market, the huge profits surprised the governments of all countries, and at the same time they were overjoyed mad.

For this reason, governments from various countries called Chen Feng one after another, requesting more orders. In mid-September, Chen Feng received an order worth nearly US$9 million, accounting for one-fifth of the annual production of penicillin.

Chen Feng knew that with so much money, it was better to reserve a batch of warships before the outbreak of the World War, so that when the Pacific War broke out, China would not lose even an outlet to the sea.

In order to achieve this goal, Chen Feng sent invitations to Roosevelt and Stalin in the United States and Chamberlain in the United Kingdom, hoping to have more in-depth exchanges with the official representatives of the three countries.

Chen Feng, the God of Wealth, offered an olive branch that no one would refuse. Soon Stalin of the Soviet Union sent a telegram that his representative would arrive in Guisui at the end of September to hold a comprehensive meeting with him.

Then President Roosevelt of the United States also sent a telegram, telling Chen Feng that the American delegation had already set off from Washington, and hoped that the two sides would cooperate happily.

Britain was no exception. Chamberlain said in a telegram that the delegation headed by Mr. Churchill had already set off from London and would arrive in Guisui by early October at the latest.

Compared with these countries, Japan's life is much more difficult.Since the No. 40 Army's penicillin drug trade was in full swing, all eyes in Japan have turned to Saibei.Especially after Tegao Ke brought two boxes of amoxicillin and some injections back to Japan through secret channels, this miraculous drug suddenly shocked Japan.

How could the high-level Japanese not know the value of this drug? Emperor Hirohito personally ordered Shiro Ishii to preside over the development of penicillin, and at the same time sent spies to steal the production formula and equipment of penicillin.

But more than half a month has passed, and Shiro Ishii has made no progress at all, although there are patented medicines for research.But Ishii Shiro couldn't do anything about it. He didn't know that although the penicillin produced by Chen Feng and the penicillin proposed by Fleming were essentially the same, there was a huge difference in the actual production process, whether it was raw materials or production procedures. The world is different, and it can't be researched by just a few pills of penicillin.

Moreover, whether it is amoxicillin or the drugs used for injections, they are all prescriptions researched by later generations. They are all products decades ahead of this era, and are fundamentally different from those pseudo-penicillin drugs sold on the market.Ishii Shiro used the technology of this era to develop drugs decades later, and the results can be imagined.
