Chapter 408: Expanded into an Artillery Brigade
408th expanded into an artillery brigade
Hong Kong, penicillin pharmaceutical factory.
"Uncle Lin, the last batch of employees have boarded the ship."
A young man wearing a baseball cap walked into the factory office and said to Uncle Lin.
The huge and bustling penicillin factory was now very deserted, with not a single worker to be seen.
Uncle Lin was still burning a lot of documents in an iron bucket.
He raised his head, glanced at the young man, and said, “It’s good that everyone is on board.
You guys get ready too, we'll leave tonight."
"Yes, Uncle Lin."
The young man turned and left.
"Uncle Lin, something bad has happened.
There are a lot of strangers outside, they may be Japanese spies.
The foreigners outside also disappeared.
Uncle Lin, don't worry about this, we have to leave quickly."
The young man who had just come in shouted anxiously.
"Okay, let's go!"
Uncle Lin also knew that the situation was urgent, so he burned the last document.
He immediately picked up his hat and put it on, then followed the young man out of the back door of the factory.
Not long after, a group of Japanese spies in plain clothes rushed in.
When he saw the empty penicillin factory, his face suddenly turned grim.
"Baga, we were a step too late and let them get away."
The leading Japanese captain shouted with a grim expression.
"Captain, look."
A Japanese soldier soon discovered Uncle Lin and the iron bucket he had just used to burn the documents.
The Japanese captain reached out and touched the iron barrel.
“The walls of the barrel were still warm.
They haven't been gone for long, chase them."
After the Japanese captain finished speaking, he turned around and rushed out with a group of Japanese spies.
Unfortunately, they failed to catch up with Uncle Lin in the end.
After Uncle Lin left the penicillin factory, he got into a black car.
Then, the car drove all the way to a British police station in Hong Kong.
They want to use the British passage to leave Hong Kong.
Otherwise, they would easily be discovered and found by the Japanese spies.
It must be said that at this time in Hong Kong, the boss is still the British.
"Uncle Lin, this is the boat ticket to America tonight, please take it.
The boat is at 8:30, so be ready."
A British patrolman handed Uncle Lin a few boat tickets and gave him some instructions.
"Thank you."
After Uncle Lin received the boat ticket, he took a few followers to rest in the police station.
At night, they would drive Uncle Lin and others to the pier.
At the beginning, these foreigners in the police station received so many benefits from the pharmaceutical factory.
At this critical moment, these people are finally useful.
The money that the pharmaceutical company spent on these foreigners was finally not wasted.
After the Japanese captured Guangzhou, the nearby Hong Kong River almost fell into their hands.
However, because the Japanese had not yet declared war on the British at that time, the two sides did not completely break off relations.
Therefore, the Japanese troops have not yet come in directly.
However, various Japanese spies and secret agents poured into Hong Kong in large numbers.
Hong Kong is no longer safe.
Among them, the first target of the Japanese spies was Ye Qingshan’s penicillin factory.
The Japanese have long known the value of this penicillin factory.
However, until now, they still don’t know that the real boss behind the penicillin pharmaceutical factory is Ye Qingshan.
The Japanese can also buy penicillin internationally.
Ye Qingshan had no way to stop it completely.
However, there is no doubt that the cost of purchasing penicillin for the Japanese is much higher than that for other customers.
Anyway, if the Japanese buy it, you have to pay extra.
However, given penicillin's excellent anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, the Japanese had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy it no matter how expensive it was.
By now, the Japanese can send troops into Hong Kong at any time.
When we took Hong Kong from the British.
The Japanese high-ranking officials could no longer resist the temptation of the penicillin pharmaceutical factory.
They want to take control of it as soon as possible.
As a result, Japanese spies now enter Hong Kong every day, gather around the penicillin factory, and become more and more unscrupulous.
At the beginning, the British were able to control the situation and prevent the Japanese spies from being too presumptuous.
But later, the Japs lost their patience and became more and more lawless.
The British were originally timid and they were just pretending to be powerful to scare the Japanese.
Later, the British realized that they could no longer scare the Japanese, so they simply gave up.
Half a month ago, after Ye Qingshan received the telegram from Uncle Lin, he realized how much the situation in Hong Kong had deteriorated.
Immediately, Ye Qingshan told Uncle Lin to evacuate from Hong Kong immediately.
Ye Qingshan doesn't want to see Uncle Lin fall into the hands of the Japanese. That would be a huge blow to Ye Qingshan.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan also asked Uncle Lin to destroy the important equipment of the penicillin pharmaceutical factory before leaving.
Even so, in the end the Japanese really got hold of this pharmaceutical factory.
They also can't get any benefit from it.
Nor was the ability to produce penicillin acquired.
After 8:30 in the evening, Uncle Lin quietly went to the dock under the protection of his entourage and some British policemen.
But the Japanese spies had already been targeting them.
"Baga, that target called Uncle Lin must not be allowed to escape."
In Hong Kong, a Japanese colonel intelligence officer made a decision immediately after receiving a report from his subordinates.
So the Japs set up an ambush halfway.
Boom!
The frontmost car belonging to the foreign police station was blown away.
Da da da!
Then, fierce gunfire rang out all around.
A group of Japanese spies surrounded them, and in order to carry out this attack, the Japanese were willing to make a big noise.
“Baga, this is the wrong person.
We were fooled.
Damn you Brits!"
After the Japanese spies surrounded them and pulled a few people out of the car.
I found out that Uncle Lin and his companions were not there at all.
The British played a trick on the Japanese by replacing the prince with a cat.
The Japanese colonel who led the team was so angry that he roared in anger.
Uncle Lin and others were safely sent to the dock, and soon Uncle Lin successfully boarded the American ship.
Ye Qingshan also received the telegram quickly.
"Uncle Lin and his team have safely evacuated Hong Kong."
After reading the telegram, Ye Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander, the first batch of pharmaceutical factory workers we sent to the United States have now arrived in San Francisco.
This is the telegram just sent by Mr. Joseph."
Xiao Wusheng brought a telegram from Joseph.
Joseph happily told Ye Qingshan in the telegram.
There was a group of skilled pharmaceutical factory workers who set off from Hong Kong by boat half a month ago.
Plus, they recruit some of their workers locally.
This means that the first penicillin factory in San Francisco has officially started mass production.
It will not delay the production and sales of penicillin.
And the second penicillin factory is about to be built in Seattle.
When other pharmaceutical factory workers arrive, they will be arranged to work in the new pharmaceutical factory.
The penicillin factory was making a lot of money.
Let the American companies that have invested in it make a lot of money.
Now, what they least want to see is the discontinuation of penicillin production.
Even new penicillin pharmaceutical factories are being built to expand production.
Who knows, penicillin was in short supply in the world market at that time?
As soon as penicillin is produced, it will be snapped up by major distributors.
There are even cases where people actively increase the price and get more.
“Everything is going well at the new penicillin factory over in the United States.
The main production capacity of penicillin in the future will rely on several major pharmaceutical companies in the United States."
Ye Qingshan put down the telegram and said in a deep voice.
With the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong was no longer safe.
The United States is very safe.
Building most of the penicillin pharmaceutical factories in the United States was also a helpless move for Ye Qingshan at this time.
"Humph, those damned Japanese almost caught Uncle Lin.
Tell Joseph to start today.
All penicillin sold to the Japanese was marked up by 30%.
And, tell other customers,
Anyone found buying penicillin for the Japanese would be put on the company's blacklist.
From now on, they will never be able to buy even one vial of penicillin again."
Ye Qingshan said to the young warrior next to him with a cold face.
The young martial artist quickly wrote down Ye Qingshan's orders in his small notebook.
"Damn it, if the tiger doesn't show its power, it will really think I'm Hello Kitty."
Ye Qingshan couldn't swallow this humiliation and decided to continue fighting back against the Japanese with penicillin.
The matter of the penicillin factory has come to an end.
Ye Qingshan knew that it would not be long before Hong Kong would be officially occupied by the Japanese.
From now on, it will no longer be the favorite gathering place for intelligence spies from various countries.

At the end of February, Ye Qingshan used the twelve 155mm howitzers and thirty 105mm howitzers delivered by the Pete family's transport cargo ship as the basis.
A heavy artillery regiment was newly expanded and after half a month, it was initially formed.
Ye Qingshan transferred some officers and soldiers from the previous artillery regiment, and then transferred a militia to form the current heavy artillery regiment.
In addition, Ye Qingshan also had an additional rocket artillery regiment under his command.
This rocket artillery regiment has a total of thirty-six Katyusha rocket launchers.
It was expanded from the rocket artillery battalion that Ye Qingshan had in Jinling.
The extra 24 Katyusha rocket launchers have been added in recent months.
The arsenal built the vehicles using steel pipes and trucks purchased by Ye Qingshan from the United States.
At this point, the artillery regiment directly under the command of Ye Qingshan’s military commander was officially expanded into an artillery brigade by Ye Qingshan.
The 81st Artillery Regiment, to support the artillery regiment, was equipped with the 75mm mortars and mm howitzers that were initially equipped.
The second regiment is the heavy artillery regiment.
The third regiment is a rocket artillery regiment.
"Commander, our army's current firepower is more powerful than that of an entire division of the Japanese."
Zhou Pingkou and others were also extremely excited when they saw Ye Qingshan's expanded artillery brigade and the newly added heavy artillery.
Each army is equipped with an artillery brigade.
This configuration is indeed exaggerated.
Even the Japanese were not so luxurious.
Not to mention other national armies.
Ye Qingshan now has an artillery brigade in his hands, which is something that none of the Kuomintang’s army groups can afford to equip.
"Commander, we are equipped with so many heavy artillery.
I always feel uncomfortable if I don't go out and beat the Japanese. "
The warlike Zhou Xinghai began to instigate Ye Qingshan.
"Commander, why don't we pull the troops out and have a fight with the Japs.
By the way, let's check out the results of the new recruits we have trained recently."
Zhou Xinghai continued.
