186 Life-saving Medicine
"That's right, the Japanese navy and army have always been difficult to deal with.
This time, if it weren’t for that damn Japanese prince who mediated, things would have been very different.
I guess even if the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in Nanjing, the Japanese navy would not send a single warship to help, except to mock and ridicule them. "
Ye Qingshan laughed.
In later generations, he had heard about the deep and unsolvable contradictions between the Japanese navy and army.
This time, although the Japanese Navy Department sent warships to help out of the face of the Japanese Prince Asaka Naruhiko.
However, the three warships sent were obviously antiques.
This shows that the Japanese Navy still looks down on the Japanese Army, a bunch of idiots, and is only using these three old warships to fool them.
This is a good thing for Ye Qingshan.
It is much easier to deal with the Japanese's old warships from twenty years ago than to deal with their newest warships.
At this time, at the Xiaguan Wharf, the young and strong men who were busy transporting supplies to the ferry coming from the other side finally finished their work.
Ye Qingshan came over with food to comfort them.
"You've worked hard, eat something."
Ye Qingshan patted a young man on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"It's not hard."
Ye Qingshan came personally to express his condolences, which moved everyone.
"Second Young Master."
Ye Qingshan met Chang An again.
"Thank you for your hard work. Have you brought all the goods?"
Ye Qingshan looked at Chang An and asked.
"Bring them all."
There was joy on Chang An's tired face.
After his several trips back home, he often boasted to his friends in his hometown that he had also supported the Battle of Nanjing.
Being able to help Ye Qingshan and resist the Japanese invaders in Jinling made him feel honored from the bottom of his heart.
“This trip was really troublesome.
Along the way, many people stared at our goods.
Fortunately, thanks to the second young master's reputation and the documents approved by the higher authorities, that's it.
We have thrown away more than 50,000 dollars along the way."
However, a moment later, when Chang An took Ye Qingshan to see the supplies, he couldn't help but complain.
Ye Qingshan didn't say anything either, just listened to Chang An's complaints.
"Sorry, Second Master, I said too much.
Compared with your fighting with the Japanese in Jinling City, my hard work is nothing.
Who am I to complain?"
After a moment, Chang An turned around and saw that Ye Qingshan had been silent. He felt a little uneasy and quickly apologized.
"No!"
Ye Qingshan held Chang An's shoulder and said seriously: "Brother Chang, we fought against the Japanese on the front line and won a victory.
You deserve half of the medal of honor.
If it weren't for you, you wouldn't have raised so much supplies for us and sent them to the front line in Nanjing over thousands of miles.
There is no way we can hold out in Jinling for that long.
On behalf of the people of this city and the soldiers who are holding the front lines at this time, I want to thank you and everyone who helped us deliver supplies.
Thanks! "
Ye Qingshan bowed to Chang An.
"Oh, Second Master.
You are embarrassing me."
Chang An helped Ye Qingshan up in panic.
The young and strong men who followed Chang An and transported supplies all stopped and looked at Ye Qingshan.
At this moment, they suddenly felt that all the hard work and grievances they had experienced along the way were worth it.
Because someone remembers their hard work.
Or the idol they have always admired.
Their hard work is worth it.
“After you return, remember to give a few more dollars to everyone who participated in the transportation of supplies.
They deserve it.”
Ye Qingshan instructed Chang An.
"Yes, I remember it, Second Young Master."
Soon, Ye Qingshan looked at the pile of boxes in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
Because these boxes are filled with penicillin.
This is the medicine that Ye Qingshan needs most urgently in the city at this moment.
More urgently needed than ammunition.
There was no way. At this time, there were too many wounded soldiers of the National Army in Jinling City.
The field hospitals were already overcrowded, except for the seriously injured.
The other lightly injured were treated and bandaged by the women who joined the rescue team.
The truth is, the doctors in the city are too busy to handle it.
As a result, the wounds of these lightly injured soldiers become extremely susceptible to infection.
Only by using the miracle drug penicillin at this time can the infection rate of lightly injured soldiers be greatly reduced.
After all, the militiamen that Ye Qingshan sent to the front line were all new recruits, and the casualty rate was definitely high.
But in Ye Qingshan's eyes, these wounded soldiers are treasures.
They all have battlefield experience and survived.
As long as they are cured and return to the battlefield, they will be veterans.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan could not give up on them no matter what.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan had previously sent a telegram to his hometown in Wenzhou, asking them to use the penicillin manufacturing equipment that he had left to Uncle Lin last time.
Speed up the production of penicillin.
Then, all of them will be transported to Jinling, as many as possible will be needed.
The penicillin that Chang An had sent earlier had long been used up.
Finally, after waiting for several days, Ye Qingshan finally received this new batch of penicillin.
And the number is even more than Ye Qingshan expected.
These are all life-saving drugs.
"My master has been making people work overtime in his hometown to produce penicillin.
In addition, Uncle Lin’s pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong, which was selected by the Americans, has also started operations.
Uncle Lin knows that the war situation here is tense, and you are in urgent need of penicillin.
So, before the big pharmaceutical factory was built.
Uncle Lin copied the equipment that you, Second Young Master, left behind and built a small pharmaceutical factory first.
Now this small pharmaceutical factory has started operation.
This time, half of the penicillin I sent was sent by Uncle Lin from Hong Kong."
Chang An explained.
“Haha, that’s great.
This batch of drugs really solved my urgent need.”
Ye Qingshan was overjoyed when he saw the penicillins.
In addition to the penicillin, a batch of old water beads were also delivered.
We bought them from the Russians, a total of 7,000 of them.
There is also a batch of American-made Thompson submachine guns.
But the numbers are clearly not right.
"I'm sorry, Second Young Master, some of these submachine guns were confiscated by someone while they were on the train.
We don’t know who the other party is.”
Chang An said helplessly.
Ye Qingshan's eyes turned slightly cold. He had expected this kind of thing a long time ago.
Fortunately, the other group of people probably don’t know that the most valuable batch of goods is the penicillin.
They only stole a batch of Thompson submachine guns, thinking that these submachine guns were the most valuable.
And I don't like those old water beads,
Otherwise, if they knew, these penicillins were as valuable as gold.
I guess not a single bottle of these penicillin will reach Jinling.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Ye Qingshan remembered this grudge.
Anyone who dared to rob this batch of anti-Japanese supplies at this time must have a powerful background.
Otherwise, ordinary officers and soldiers of the National Army would definitely not have the courage to take action.
However, for Ye Qingshan at this time, robbing his batch of life-saving supplies at this time is too much.
That is treason and murder.
Murdering the lives of the soldiers who were fighting bravely on the front line against the Japanese invaders touched Ye Qingshan's bottom line.
"No matter who you are, if I find you, I will never forgive you."
