Chapter 917: We Can Talk
"You want to buy the patent for penicillin?" Chen Yang was a little surprised.
They were experiencing a war at that time, so they had no time to set up a pharmaceutical factory. However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Even though Chen Yang's attitude has always been friendly towards the Soviet Union, no one knows whether Chen Yang will change his attitude when the war reaches a certain stage.
Only when you have medicine in your hands can you feel at ease.
Besides, penicillin is a life-saving drug, and its effectiveness in treating inflammation is one level higher than that of sulfonamides.
If the Soviet-German War had not broken out, they might have had their own penicillin by the beginning of next year.
Unfortunately, this war came too quickly and too suddenly.
The Soviet Union was not well prepared, and even had no complete stock of medicines, and various supplies were frequently gone wrong.
If there are any problems with the drugs again, many people in the logistics department who are responsible for the medical line will probably be executed.
"Yes," Peter nodded and said, "It would be best if Mr. George could send some technicians to help us build the pharmaceutical factory."
"We can give up some of our shares, and we can also grant certain preferential policies."
"Of course, I also know that it is a bit abrupt to ask Minister Chen to be the middleman."
"However, if this can be successful, we will not treat Minister Chen unfairly."
Chen Yang pretended to think for a long time, then slowly said, "Major General Peter, I think the proposal of cooperating to build a pharmaceutical factory is more suitable than purchasing patents. Please give me some time, and I will go and convince Mr. George."
"As for my compensation, we'll discuss it after you sign the contract."
Major General Peter's face suddenly became extremely happy: "Minister Chen, I'll leave it to you."
"Oh, there's one more thing. I don't know if you can help me."
Chen Yang said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Peter, please tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
Major General Peter was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We have received some intelligence that the Japanese military seems to want to undermine the previous agreement and launch an attack on the Far East."
Chen Yang was surprised and said, "No way, there is such a thing?"
"Major General Peter, is your intelligence accurate? The Empire only signed a neutrality agreement with the Soviet Union in April. Could you be mistaken?"
Major General Peter's expression remained unchanged as he said in a gentle voice, "I also hope that the intelligence is wrong, but the 3rd, 4th, 19th, and 23rd divisions of the Kwantung Army have all shown signs of being mobilized. Even their newly formed heavy artillery brigade has signs of being mobilized."
"The great leader does not want to see war in the Far East, so we want to resolve the issue through peace talks,"
"It's not that we are afraid of war. The great Soviet Red Army will never surrender to the enemy."
“We just don’t want to waste energy on this.”
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I agree with Major General Peter's opinion. I am not very clear about the situation of the troop transfer you mentioned, but you don't have to worry. I can find out for you."
Major General Peter twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, obviously knowing that Chen Yang must be one of the insiders.
He is in charge of transportation. Does he really not know the purpose of transporting so many materials from the south to the northeast?
"Minister Chen, the head of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mitorev, has reached a consensus with the leader of the Mongolian People's Party, Choibalsandar."
"If the Japanese could give up their plan to attack the Far East."
'They can open up some areas to carry out bilateral resource development activities. I know you are the vice president of the Black Dragon Society, and I also know that most of the Black Dragon Society's forces are in the north. I am sure that if you are interested, you can also set up a company to carry out commercial activities in a certain area.'
"But we don't want any troops entering the Far East, that's the bottom line..."
"Otherwise, the Soviet Red Army will continue to help Mongolia defend its territorial sovereignty."
After seeing off Major General Peter, Chen Yang let out a long sigh.
The temptation of Outer Mongolia's resources is a huge piece of fat meat. No one will miss such a good thing as being able to obtain resources without fighting.
However, Chen Yang knew very well in his heart that even though Major General Peter said it lightly, this was a real pit.
As soon as the Soviet-German War is over, they will have time to deal with the Kwantung Army.
By then, these infrastructure projects will truly contribute to the construction of Mongolia.
But I can't let them get away with it so easily, otherwise, I'll really be the one being taken advantage of.
Chen Yang frowned and suddenly thought of someone.
Tang Xin...
It is undeniable that the Japanese could not defend these things in Outer Mongolia, not even the mountain cities.
Only the future Red Party can bargain with others.
Moreover, as far as he knew, Choibalsan later had a disagreement with his father over the issue of the unification of Mongolia.
Even without the support of the Soviet Union, the Red Party could still fight against others.
Besides, it is better to benefit the Red Party than those outsiders. After all, it is a contribution to the country.
Shanghai, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters,
Chen Yang simply relayed Major General Peter's meaning to Commander Terauchi.
Commander Terauchi seemed a little hesitant after hearing this.
The Kwantung Army's purpose of moving north was to obtain Outer Mongolia's resources.
But now, the other side showed that it was willing to make concessions, with the only condition being that the Kwantung Army was not allowed to enter the Far East.
For a moment, Commander Terauchi didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a moment, Commander Terauchi asked in a gentle voice, "Mr. Chen, what do you think is the purpose of this Soviet negotiation?"
Chen Yang said respectfully: "Mr. Terauchi, it is obvious that the Soviets do not want to fight on two fronts, so their attitude changed so quickly."
"However, everything has its bottom line. If the imperial army really rushes into the Far East regardless of everything, I guarantee that they will also take action."
"What we need to do now is to maximize the benefits."
Commander Terauchi nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, if we can obtain resources without sacrificing the lives of the Empire's soldiers, that would be best."
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work this time. I will report your contribution to the empire to the local authorities."
"As for the negotiations with the Soviet Union, I believe that professional personnel will be sent from the mainland."
Chen Yang bowed slightly and said, "This is what I should do. I dare not take credit for it."
"By the way, Mr. Terauchi, if we want to negotiate, do we still need to transport the supplies to the north as planned?"
Commander Terauchi tapped the table lightly, thought for a long time and said: "Let's transport it according to the plan."
"We have to prepare for the worst. If the peace talks don't go well, we can't give up the resources in the Far East."
"Imperial warriors must be ready to attack at any time."
"
