Chapter 22 The Joke of Penicillin

The young man's words were shocking enough. It was an old man like Song Zheyuan, and he couldn't help but feel trembling when he heard this. The young man's words touched the softest string in the old man's heart.

Looking back on the past, it is very difficult for the 29th Army to reach this point today. History has proved that the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army are all good, and they are able to keep the land safe and even do better. However, the land of Chahar is too barren. Since the 29th Army recuperated here, they have only been able to maintain food and clothing. If Song Zheyuan could have a rich area like Chen Jitang, Li Zongren and others, then...

He looked at Ouyang Yun's young face and felt very complicated. After all, Ouyang Yun was still too young, so young that what he said seemed very playful.

Song Zheyuan also wanted a good piece of land, but who said that the 29th Army was not someone's direct line? It would be good for the little girl to raise a child to have a place to hide the rain, so what else would she hope for? Not only him, but most of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army thought so, so when he was named Chairman Chahar, they would run more than a hundred miles overnight like they took stimulants, hoping to grow wings and fly here.

Historians are also human beings, and they are inevitably making mistakes - they cannot enter the inner world of characters, and their analysis based on so-called facts can only be used as reference.

Ouyang Yun's words revealed the scars in Song's heart, reminding him of the days of living under others, and the images of the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army dressed like beggars, and he felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

Seeing his face, Ouyang Yun curled his smile and said softly: "Duke Song, according to rumors, the negotiations between He and the Japanese have reached a preliminary intention. The Central Army and the government will all withdraw from Hebei. By that time, the entire Hebei will be empty - Hebei is much richer than Chahar."

That's enough. Song is a smart man. He immediately woke up and looked at him with a little surprised. He asked, "Go to you? Is it accurate?"

"The news released by the people around him should not be wrong."

"Okay!" Song slapped the table, stood up, thought for a while, sat down again, frowned and said, "But, the defense of the 29th Army is in Chahar?!"

Seeing that he was moved, Ouyang Yun knew that his goal had been achieved halfway, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this Song Gong, as someone will naturally invite you to come."

"Oh? Why do you decide?"

"Duke Song, the land of North China does not only produce traitors. Since ancient times, there have been many loyal and brave people."

"Huh?" Song moved his mind and immediately figured it out. This made the young man in front of him even more curious about the origin of the young man in front of him, and asked the same question: "Ouyang, who are you?" The difference is that this time he said with a smile, which looked particularly amiable. He thought to himself: This kid is not simple? Which force does he represent? It is impossible for the Japanese. So - no matter which force he represents, as long as he can hold Hebei in his hand, who is he afraid of in this era of speaking with a gun?

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Duke Song, this is not important. What is important is that I want to contribute to the country and the people. You and the 29th Army have always been what I admire - this sounds a bit like a slogan and is very empty, but I dare to ask myself, this is what I say in my heart. Duke Song, I know that during your time in Tianjin, you are just a vain with those traitors. It is not easy for the 29th Army brothers. You just want everyone to live a better life and have less worries when killing the Japanese - I can understand this, and this is what I admire most."

He said this with sincerity, and Song Zheyuan was moved when he heard it. He didn't expect that the person who knew him best in the world would be such a young man who had never met before. However, after all, he was a person who had experienced great storms, so he would not be confused by these apparent things and said, "We won't say much. If the 29th Army really wanted to go to Hebei, wouldn't this person who initiated the invitation beside you?"

"Mr. Song was joking, what can you do? Of course, I will try my best to make this happen. Well, if you really want to achieve this, I want you to help me."

"Huh?" Song Zheyuan responded, calmly speaking, and said in his heart: I have made a request. I have been in the officialdom for so many years and have known countless people. Song Zheyuan can be said to have become a spirit in cultivation. Naturally, he would not think that the other party really helped him because of these open and honest reasons - people are always selfish.

So, two foxes, one old and one young, began to plan their needs—

"I want to ask Mr. Song to support me to order guns and ammunition, and to win over the student training class of the 25th Division."

"It's easy to talk about guns. It's the training class of the 25th Division. Ouyang, I'll give you a big shot and call you Ouyang."

"This is the honor of the younger generation."

"The 25th Division and the 29th Army do not belong to the same command system, so it is unlikely to require people."

"Mr. Song, according to rumors, the training class of the 25th Division will definitely be disbanded. The Japanese have this requirement. If you reveal this news to the 25th Division, I think they will definitely sell this favor for your old face. In fact, I want that training class, which is also for the future of the 29th Army."

"The future of the 29th Army?" These words were a little bit loud, and Song Zheyuan suddenly wanted to laugh: This young man didn't know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was. What's the matter with the future of the 29th Army?

He looked like this long ago as Ouyang Yun expected, so he was not in a hurry. He took out the two plagiarized designs and handed them respectfully, saying: "These are some designs made by the younger generation when he was studying in the United States. He thought that one day he could do his best to improve the living conditions of the 29th Army. Now it seems that the future of the 29th Army is on them. The students in the training class are the talents that the younger generation likes to improve these two designs."

This was too arrogant, and it made Song Zheyuan feel quite ridiculous. However, given the young man's previous performance - the rumored news, and even traitors can kill them, they naturally would not be ordinary people. He did not sneer, but looked at it seriously. After a while, he couldn't see the reason. Without it, there were too many professional terms on it and couldn't understand it. Speaking of which, Song Zheyuan is worthy of being a handsome man who can control one side. He did not immediately make arbitrary conclusions because of his ignorance, but asked Guo Biao to invite professionals: "Biaozi, go and invite Mr. Jiang."

Mr. Jiang’s full name is Jiang Shuren. He is 36 years old this year. Song’s aide has studied in France. He looked at the two designs at a rough pace, his eyes were stuck on it, and his eyes became hot. After reading it, he asked Song Zheyuan excitedly: “Mr. Song, where did you get this treasure?”

"Baby?!" When Song Zheyuan heard these two words appearing in his mouth, he couldn't help but look up at Ouyang Yun, thinking that this young man is really not simple. Seeing that Ouyang Yun was looking at him with a sense of confidence, he pointed at him.

Jiang Shuren's scorching eyes immediately took back from those pieces of paper, turned to Ouyang Yun, and asked anxiously: "Sir, who did these two designs?"

"I."

"You!" Jiang Shuren's eyes widened and looked him up and down for a while, a little disbelief - this young man was in his early twenties at best, with his education, how could he design such a high-end product? But when he met the other party's confident look, he could not refuse to retract his doubts and said, "Sir, you are a great talent, how dare you ask for your surname and name?"

"Ouyang Yun."

"Ouyang Yun." Jiang Shuren said softly twice, feeling that the name is a bit familiar, but he couldn't think of where he heard it. He thought that it was really a matter of heaven that we are in China. We can even produce such talents in China. Ask: "Who do you think of the teacher?"

This is a natural thinking of a rigorous scholar. These two designs are too broad. It is equivalent to a fantasy to make this happen with just one's own strength. Then, the most likely thing is that he was attracted by the light of a master and took off these two stars on the shoulders of a giant.

Ouyang Yun secretly praised the other party for being powerful and thinking through the questions. He could immediately determine that these two designs were not made by themselves. However, for time travelers, they cannot be treated with the eyes of ordinary people. Plagiarism is shameless! But as a time traveler, being shameless is not enough to become a genius, not shameless does not have the superpowers to create the world. As one of the time travelers, he had to follow the crowd and continue shamelessly - he said, "I have been to college for a few days in the United States." It means that we have no master's guidance.

Jiang Shuren stood up in horror, looking at him looking at his son-in-law like his mother-in-law, and the word "genius" blurted out.

Genius! He was so bright that Ouyang Yun was not as shameless as "unprecedented and no one came from behind", so he was still shy.

Song Zheyuan watched the two perform with interest, and heard Jiang Shuren shouting "genius". This genius had already shown that he wanted to help him and the 29th Army. He finally realized what he had gotten and his attitude towards Ouyang Yun completely changed.

Jiang Shuren flipped through the two designs again and asked Ouyang Yun: "Mr. Ouyang, there seems to be some data in your design that is not marked."

"Yes, it's my patent after all, and if it's stolen, the loss will be huge."

Jiang Shuren nodded in understanding and said, "When I was in France, I heard of penicillin. It was first discovered by the British Alexander Fleming. Some foreign experts are still studying it. I didn't expect that you have fully mastered its characteristics. If its efficacy is as you said in your paper, then this will definitely be a milestone in the history of human medicine... Do you want to set up a factory in China?"

Jiang Shuren's words were enough, and words like milestones appeared. Song Zheyuan's eyes almost fell out when he heard them, even Ouyang Yun was sweating profusely - it was embarrassing. He originally thought that there were already countries in the world that could produce penicillin, but now he realized that this thing had just been discovered - hey, he was still a medical student, and he once wanted to save the world...

The ignorant is fearless. Ouyang Yun has deeply understood the true meaning of this sentence today. After the great knight, he secretly said that he must be cautious in his words and actions in the future, otherwise he will not know what kind of jokes will be made. This is when he meets someone who knows Penicillin. If he meets an outsider, wouldn’t his painstaking efforts be played against a bull?! Calm down, he nodded, looked gratefully at Jiang Shuren, and then said to Song Zheyuan: "I just look for Mr. Song for this matter. Multi-purpose vehicles are fine. Once this Penicillin is released, it will definitely be more expensive than gold. If you really open such a factory, without the protection of the army, I am afraid that it will be used by people with ulterior motives."

Jiang Shuren smiled: "Then why don't you cooperate directly with the National Government?"

Ouyang Yun sneered: "National Government? Do you still believe it? I am extremely distrustful anyway."

Jiang Shuren asked this question, which was actually a test. After all, he relied on Song Zheyuan for a meal. After receiving a satisfactory reply, he said to Song Zheyuan: "Mr. Song, Shuren wants to congratulate you. If Mr. Ouyang can really cooperate with the 29th Army to set up a factory, the 29th Army will be like holding a piggy bank after the 29th Army."

Song Zheyuan was excited, "The piggy bank, this is what the 29th Army lacks the most. Having money means having good weapons and good equipment. If the 29th Army's equipment can be the same as the Japanese army, then - he was a little afraid to think about it. Jiang Shuren would not lie to him. However, he was still a little worried about Ouyang Yun's intentions, "It is a great thing for Ouyang Neng to cooperate with the 29th Army. Ouyang, please give your conditions!" In his opinion, the other party will definitely have conditions and make up his mind. As long as this condition is not too harsh, then accept it.

Things finally developed to the predetermined track according to their own ideas. Ouyang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glad that he had bet right. He took risks in this move today - if Song Zheyuan was really swaying in his position towards the Japanese as he said in history, then he would be a wolf in the mouth of a tiger today. Fortunately, history seems to deceive him, and it can be seen that no matter how wise historians are, they are still prone to errors when studying human nature.

He came to cooperate with the 29th Army, so there were certain conditions. However, this condition was simply not acceptable to Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army at that time.

Ouyang Yun's conditions are very simple. In summary, it can be attributed to one promise and one guarantee: the 29th Army must promise not to fight a civil war, resolutely fight against Japan, and at the same time ensure the independence and security of its subordinate enterprises. The promise must be logged in the newspaper, and the guarantee requires an agreement with Ouyang Yun and providing a regiment of a regiment. This regiment is called the "Study Corps".

Historically, the 29th Army's student corps appeared after the 129th Movement. Now, because of the appearance of Ouyang Yun, the little butterfly, she has stepped onto the stage of history in advance.

What kind of story will the CPPCC bring to China? Will it still be a tragedy?
