Chapter 546 545 [Miasma]

Nanjing, Qilu.

Chang Kaishen poured water into the teacup himself, and when it was almost full, Dai Li quickly stretched out his hands to hold it.

Putting down the kettle, Chang Kaishen asked, "Zhou Mingcheng really said that he and Roosevelt are friends, and he also partnered with the British prince to open a pharmaceutical factory?"

"That's true," Dai Li explained, "American President Roosevelt used to be the legal adviser to Situ Meitang of the Hongmen for several years. Zhou Mingcheng is also the boss of the Hongmen of the United States. It should be through this relationship that he met Roosevelt. I also sent people to Hong Kong to ask Situ Juncong, according to Situ Juncong, Zhou Hexuan attended Roosevelt's family banquet, and it seems that he gave Roosevelt some advice."

Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"Commissioner, you read magazines..." Dai Li asked cautiously.

"Let him run that magazine, and the impact of forced suspension is not very good. For the Japanese, you can't just get used to it. As long as the articles of "Feigong" are not too radical, then let it go." Chang Kaishen After thinking for a while, I said, "As for the introduction of the American rifle production line, there is no need. I have already sent people to Germany. Hitler is willing to cooperate with China. It is more cost-effective to directly buy the blueprint of the Mauser rifle."

Dai Li smiled and flattered: "The committee is wise."

Chang Kaishen added: "However, the import volume of sulfa drugs must be increased. If you ask Zhou Mingcheng to guarantee an annual share of 3 million, the price is easy to negotiate."

"He will agree." Dai Li said happily.

Naturally, it is impossible for Dai Li to take the huge profits from the sulfa business alone. At least he had to cooperate with Du Yuesheng to purchase and ship goods more conveniently, and Chang Kaishen also had to share some.

People like Dai Li can sell sulfonamide worth 3 million yuan per year for 20 million yuan or even higher. Who makes this thing so rare.

Of course, as the London pharmaceutical factory expands its production scale, sulfonamides will definitely become more and more common in the Chinese market. But at least within one or two years, Dai Li and others will make a fortune as a result.

After leaving Qilu, Dai Li immediately sent a telegram to Zhou Hexuan, explaining what Chang Kaishen meant.

Zhou Hexuan's reply was: annual shipments of 3 million yuan are perfectly acceptable, but the price of medicines must be increased by 20%, and this year only 500,000 yuan of medicines can be provided, because Europe has already sold out.

Dai Li hurried to find Chang Kaishen, and Chang Kaishen's instruction was only one word: yes!

Zhou Hexuan breathed a sigh of relief, the dogs were finally fed, and "Fei Gong" could continue to be published.

Zhou Hexuan is not at a loss, anyway, medicines are produced for sale, and they can be sold to anyone. Even if the profits are not given to Chang Kaishen and Dai Li, they will be eaten by other middlemen, and ordinary people will never be able to buy cheap medicines.

However, Zhou Hexuan felt aggrieved, he really didn't want to deal with someone like Dai Li.

Although Dai Li planned to assassinate the traitor Zhang Jingyao, he killed more progressives. For example, Yang Xingfo, who was chatting and laughing with Zhou Hexuan a few months ago, was assassinated and died in June, and the mastermind behind it was Dai Li.

Next year, Dai Li will also plan to assassinate the progressive newspaperman Shi Liangcai and the anti-Japanese general Ji Hongchang, and countless patriots will die in his hands.

...

"What a miasma!"

Zhou Hexuan threw away the "Declaration" in his hand, Dai Li made him feel sick, and the news about Ma Zhanshan was also disgusting.

Ma Zhanshan had come to Shanghai by now, and publicly stated that he only received 1.71 million yuan in donations. According to statistics from various parties, the country has donated at least 20 million yuan to Ma Zhanshan in the past two years.

Where did the rest of the money go?

Only the devil knows.

This matter has caused a lot of trouble recently, and even aroused demonstrations by students and the masses, and everyone urged the government to investigate thoroughly.

Since Ma Zhanshan became famous because of the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War, he has won the crazy admiration of the whole society. Some people wrote lyrics to compose "The Song of General Ma", some people filmed the movie "Ma's Anti-Japanese War", and even "Ma Zhanshan Brand Cigarettes" appeared, and some people took to the streets to raise donations for the "Ma Junchang Anti-Japanese Fund". Send out a courtship letter, and I will not hesitate to serve as a slave or concubine to General Ma.

However, now everyone finds out that they have been cheated, and most of the money they donated has disappeared.

For example, at Sisi Middle School in Guangzhou, the school issued a special "National Salvation Coupon" with the words "National Salvation Donation" and "Happy Donation to Help General Ma of Black Province to fight against Japan and save the country" printed on it. The teachers and students of the school enthusiastically donated money. As long as they participated in the donation, they donated at least 1 yuan, and the whole school donated more than 6,000 yuan.

After the news of the unknown whereabouts of the Anti-Japanese War donations was exposed, the teachers and students of Sisi Middle School were filled with righteous indignation and went to the school to discuss the cause of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation. The school's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association insisted that it was not corrupt and had sent all the donations to the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association. The Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association stated that it had not received any donations.

Who told the lie, no one knows.

Maybe they're telling the truth, but somewhere the donations have gone wrong and been embezzled by someone unknown.

This incident caused an uproar in the public opinion and greatly affected the patriotic enthusiasm of the people. Many people even suspected that Ma Zhanshan had embezzled the donations for the War of Resistance.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government sent commissioners to investigate the matter, and quickly caught more than a dozen small shrimps. For example, a few gangsters in Shanghai took advantage of the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people to set up the "Mr. Ma's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Fund".

Those gangsters were shot directly, because the social influence was too bad. But the big shots who really made a lot of money are still at large. These guys are overdrawing the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people, and they are as abominable as traitors who surrender to the enemy.

No wonder Ma Zhanshan is so popular. Some people must have taken the opportunity to hype it up and continue to fuel the flames behind the scenes to reap benefits.

National disaster, for some people, is a gluttonous feast.

At this time, another explosive news suddenly appeared in the north—Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu disclosed their communist identities and led their troops to establish a base in the southern area of ​​Chahar.

As early as July, Chang Kaishen ordered He Yingqin to command 16 divisions to attack Feng Yuxiang's Anti-Japanese Allied Army back and forth with the Japanese army on the grounds of "obstructing the unified government order and undermining the national policy". Feng Yuxiang had no choice but to disband the Anti-Japanese Alliance, while Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu, in a rage, declared in a high-profile manner that they were the Communist Party.

When the third issue of "Fei Gong" magazine was published, He Yingqin and the Japanese army launched a siege on Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu with a tacit understanding. On the one hand, the Japanese army who invaded China, and on the other hand, the regular central army, and they were able to unite to carry out military operations.

In desperation, Ji Hongchang and Fang Zhenwu were forced to surrender and accepted the recruitment of the Nanjing government. They went to Tianjin to work as Yugong.

Ji Hongchang had just found a place to live in Tianjin, so he came to Sanletang to look for Zhou Hexuan.
