Chapter 844: Only Enough Food for One Month

After being criticized by Zhang Yunhe, Liu Huilan felt humiliated and sulked. She took her child upstairs in anger.

Zhang Yunhe didn't indulge her either. He turned around and said to Ah Zhen and Hua Siyu, "You should also pay attention. You are not allowed to interfere in military affairs in the future. Just do your own thing."

"Oh!" The two looked at each other and agreed.

The next morning, Zhang Yunhe was holding a military meeting at the command center.

"In this battle with the Japanese, many soldiers from our troops were killed or injured. How are the injured soldiers and officers now?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Deputy Chief of Staff Gao Shang stood up and replied, "Sir, on the battlefield, the medical soldiers immediately treated the injured soldiers and officers and then sent them to the field hospital for emergency treatment."

"So far, 31 injured people have died during treatment due to their severe injuries, and another 24 have died due to uncontrolled infection and ineffective treatment. The remaining injured have stabilized after treatment and are gradually recovering."

Zhang Yunhe frowned and asked, "How did so many people die from the infection? Don't our field hospitals have any anti-inflammatory drugs?"

Gao Shang replied, "There are some, but not many. Especially the reserves of sulfa are insufficient. The major hospitals on the island are also running low. And although sulfa has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, it is not a specific effect after all. Doctors can only use traditional Chinese medicine to reduce inflammation and use sulfa as an auxiliary treatment."

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any pharmaceutical companies on the island?"

Gao Shang replied: "There are two that produce Western medicine, and another that produces Chinese patent medicine based on Chinese medicine formulas. In addition, various medical clinics and pharmacies also make their own Chinese medicine pills and powders."

In July of last year (41 years), Florey and Hartley, who mastered the technology of penicillin laboratory extraction, went to Joker to seek financial support. Joker's Northern Research Laboratory successfully connected with them and provided them with laboratories, research equipment, hospitals and patients for further clinical trials.

Zhang Yunhe knew that Pfizer only built its first large-scale penicillin plant on March 1, 1944, but the penicillin liquid deep fermentation technology should have been successfully researched by then.

After that, the Joker's officials selected three pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer, Merck, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, to prepare for large-scale mass production of penicillin. Decades later, these three pharmaceutical companies became global pharmaceutical giants in the 21st century.

Zhang Yunhe touched his chin. After the successful research of penicillin's mass production technology, it was like a treasure trove in the first ten years. Not to mention penicillin, even at that time, gold bars were needed to buy sulfa drugs in the areas blockaded by the Japanese. In other parts of the world and other countries, the prices of sulfa drugs and penicillin were not affordable for ordinary people.

Even if penicillin could be mass-produced abroad at that time, even if penicillin could be purchased, it could not be shipped in because the Japanese blockade was too tight.

He was thinking about whether he should take the time to go to the Joker again and bring back the large amount of food and daily necessities purchased by James, and also go to Pfizer and Northern Research Laboratory to bring back the industrial mass production technology and strains of penicillin.

Of course, this must be "borrowed". It is impossible to buy it, not in this lifetime, and the other party will not sell it to him, so he can only borrow it, and borrow it without asking.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to meet the bosses of these three pharmaceutical companies and ask them to come see me at a certain time."

Gao Shang agreed: "Yes, sir!"

Zhang Yunhe looked at everyone and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Tian Tao stood up and said, "Commander, you asked me to compulsorily purchase and count the remaining grain on the island at a fair price. We've sent people to do this over the past two days. We've purchased tons of grain at a fair price. With a total population of 1.8 million on the island, and assuming each person gets half a pound of grain per day, that's only enough for everyone on the island to eat for a month!"

"So we must find a way to get food from outside and ship it in within this month. Otherwise, we will run out of food after a month and be defeated without a fight!"

"One month...Okay, I get it. As for the food issue, I've already established an international trading company with several major families on the island to purchase food from neutral countries. The fleet we're sending out will fly the flag of a neutral country. I hope it goes smoothly."

Zhang Yunhe then asked, "How are the various offices under the Governor-General's Office doing?"

Tian Tao replied: "It has been restored, but the main officials and senior officials of these government offices are basically foreigners and don't listen to our orders, such as the Police Department, Marine Police, Fire Department, Customs, etc."

Zhang Yunhe said, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. From now on, we will implement martial law. All the chief officers and senior officials of key departments will be replaced by our people! As for those in other departments who do not obey our orders, they will be dismissed!"

"At any time, don't worry about the government shutting down because no one wants to be an official. Official positions are like bright lights in the dark night, and mosquitoes and moths will rush towards them regardless of everything!"

"When you get down there, compile a list of prominent figures on the island. They need to have social influence, a good public image, and be knowledgeable and educated. Hand it over to me. From now on, the management of the island's livelihood will primarily rely on these people. Foreigners are outsiders after all. They won't do anything else except make money, and they won't care about the lives of the people!"

Tian Tao immediately agreed: "Yes, sir!"

"Oh, right, find those who have committed the most heinous crimes among the Japanese prisoners, have them tried publicly in court, and sentence them to death. The public can watch the executions!"

"Understood, sir!"

Zhang Yunhe added, "We lost quite a few soldiers and officers in this battle. Each unit should submit the number of troops needed for reinforcements. After I sign my approval, I will have the reserve reinforcement regiment fill the gap!"

Some people proposed expanding the organization of the troops and the strength of the troops, expanding the organization of a division to an army, and expanding it from 10,000 people to 50,000 people.

There are currently 180 million people on the island. If the merchant corps' armed forces are expanded to 5 people, it will not have much impact on the economy and production.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yunhe temporarily gave up this plan, but still decided that males aged 16 and above must participate in 10 days of militia training every month.

The main reason for deciding not to expand the army for the time being is that the military expenditure is too high. The military expenses of his armed merchant group are now entirely paid out of his own pocket. If the army is expanded by 50,000 people, the monthly military expenditure will be at least 20 million.

With Zhang Yunhe's personal intervention, a large number of extremely evil Japanese devils were found and imprisoned in special camps, awaiting trial by court.

The other Japanese soldiers were divided into five groups and escorted to various remote locations one night. They dug pits for themselves and were finally buried in the big pits. They were dealt with very cleanly.
