Seeing that both parties were in a stalemate, Dr. Shi immediately stepped forward and asked who Yang Rufeng was, what his relationship was with the two of them, and what the dispute was between them.

Wan Qili answered for Su Bai and told Dr. Shi how the Military Police Regiment wanted to help Su Bai report penicillin, how Vice President Zhang deliberately tried to stop them, and how Vice President Zhang wanted to send Yang Rufeng to a military court when he got violent.

Of course, Wan Qili spoke on Su Bai's side, so naturally she couldn't help but blame Vice President Zhang.

Vice President Zhang still used his same old way. These military police were not good people. They said Su Bai was too naive. Even if the military police really wanted to do this for Su Bai, they would blackmail him heavily at the critical moment.

What's more, Vice President Zhang didn't believe they could do it at all.

But in the end, Vice President Zhang's tone softened a little: "Miss Lan, even if I can't persuade you, even if I want to help you, it's too late!"

Vice Dean Zhang said that the matter was no longer his business as the dean of the medical school was already in Nanjing and had filed a lawsuit.

A joint petition signed by multiple doctors and nurses demanding severe punishment for the murderer was also submitted and could not be changed.

Doctor Shi saw this and said quickly, "I think you are right, sir. Miss Lan is young and has seen little."

As she spoke, she winked at Su Bai.

Su Bai understood the look and told her not to speak.

What she didn't understand was why Dr. Shi completely stood on Vice President Zhang's side and spoke for him?

Next, Dr. Shi told Vice President Zhang that Miss Lan was a very understanding person and she just didn’t think it through at the moment.

"I'll do her job. I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry about the gendarme battalion commander. The production of penicillin is the most important thing."

Dr. Shi asked Vice President Zhang to contact the concession as soon as possible. Since the equipment for producing penicillin had been sold, the help of the concession was indispensable if they wanted to purchase it again.

Dr. Shi is very familiar with this because their streptomycin project is purchasing related equipment to build a factory.

Most of the companies and businesses operating these devices were located in the French Concession. The few businesses operating medical and pharmaceutical equipment in the original Chinese area closed down due to the war, and a few moved into the French Concession and the International Settlement.

In fact, there were battles going on in several places within the International Settlement, which was far less safe than the French Concession.

If you purchased equipment from the French Concession, you had to get permission from the Municipal Council and the Police Station before you could leave.

If we go back to the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory to produce penicillin, we will need the protection of the Municipal Council.

Dr. Shi's words gave both parties a way out. Vice President Zhang immediately said that he would contact the Municipal Council right away, and told Su Bai that the Health Bureau would not let down its guard either, so Su Bai could rest assured.

As soon as Vice President Zhang left, Su Bai twisted her body slightly and said to Doctor Shi with a pale face: "Sister, what are you doing? Why did you say that just now?"

"Don't be impatient. I haven't thought this through yet." Dr. Shi raised one hand and said.

"Are you talking nonsense without thinking it through? To tell you the truth, even if penicillin is restarted, it won't be in Shanghai!" Su Bai said, stamping his feet.

I was just confused by Vice President Zhang's impassioned speech and just followed his train of thought.

Penicillin was indeed urgently needed, and Su Bai also felt that it was necessary to start production immediately.

However, she had forgotten one thing just now, that is, after the Battle of Shanghai, Shanghai would fall into the hands of the Japanese devils.

Based on the news published in newspapers in recent days, Su Bai judged that although the war would not end within three to five days, it would not last too long.

In addition to the various touching stories of our military and civilians bravely resisting the enemy, the newspapers also reported every day the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

Moreover, judging from the battle location and the map, our army's defense line is constantly retreating.

Although the battle with the enemy was fierce in some areas, overall it felt like the enemy was gradually gaining the upper hand and its advantage was expanding.

Isn't it time to restart the production of penicillin in Shanghai and wait for it to be delivered to the Japanese?

"Why?" Dr. Shi was puzzled as to why Su Bai did not produce penicillin in Shanghai.

Su Bai asked her in return: "Why don't you produce streptomycin in Shanghai? Why do you have to go to Wuhan?"

Dr. Shi understood and smiled embarrassedly.

Su Bai told her that even if they restarted production from tomorrow, it would take at least five or six days to buy, assemble and debug all kinds of equipment. In addition to site preparation and other environmental preparations, it would take almost ten days.

It takes half a month for penicillin to be produced from bacteria preparation to final sterilization and filling with the current technology. If we allow for some invisible factors, we can start tomorrow and produce the product in a month.

Su Bai stared into Dr. Shi's eyes and asked, "Do you think Shanghai can hold out for another month?"

Doctor Shi nodded: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this just now?" Suddenly he grabbed Su Bai's hand: "Why not, let's go to Wuhan together!"

"No, if I have to go, I'll go to Chongqing. If I can't go to Chongqing, I'll go to Shaanxi!" Su Bai couldn't remember which places the Japanese army occupied and which places they didn't occupy during their invasion of China, but she knew that Chongqing and Shaanxi had never been occupied.

Doctor Shi said to Su Bai without knowing the reason: "Why are you so stubborn?"

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Zi Yan stood at the door with a smile, and behind her stood Li Ningsheng and two other young men.

It turned out that Dr. Shi was going to take them back to St. Mary's Ambulance today. When Dr. Shi made this decision two days ago, she asked several doctors from Renji Hospital to help her get some routine medications to bring back. Several doctors agreed, but there has been no movement.

It was not until today when Dr. Shi was about to leave that the doctors told her to get the medicines according to her list.

Dr. Shi was anxious to see Su Bai, so he left Zi Yan, Li Ningsheng and two other assistants behind and asked them to follow the doctors to prepare the medicine and take it to St. Mary's.

It was only when Dr. Shi went to St. Mary's that he learned that Su Bai had been moved to the Fifth Ambulance Team.

Zi Yan and her team actually arrived at St. Mary's only half an hour later than Dr. Shi. Because they heard several medical staff at St. Mary's whispering that Miss Lan was a traitor, Zi Yan had a big argument with them and came here so late.

Dr. Shi told Su Bai that these four people were her most capable assistants, and after helping here for a while, she would take them to Wuhan.

"Are you willing to give Zi Yan to me?" Dr. Shi asked Su Bai.

"As long as she is willing, it is better for her to follow me than to follow me. I have a bad life." Su Bai suddenly felt sad when he thought of the quick approval of streptomycin and the long delay of penicillin.

"Don't be too anxious. Good things take time," Dr. Shi comforted Su Bai.

Su Bai smiled bitterly.

"But..." Doctor Shi said hesitantly, "I always feel that...you guys are so awkward along the way. I can't tell what's wrong."

Dr. Shi could only vaguely say this. She just felt that such a good thing should have been done smoothly, but it has been delayed until now. There is nothing right.

The inaction of bureaucrats at all levels, the disruption caused by the Japanese invaders, and the open and covert struggles for credit and profit among various parties would have had an impact and delayed this matter, but Dr. Shi said that it should not have been delayed until now.

"There must be another reason," Dr. Shi said affirmatively, "a reason that you haven't noticed."
