Chapter 798 Awkward Pursuit
"But what does this have to do with the Jewish market crash?" Lin Tianbao still didn't understand what Chen Yang was up to.
The Jews have messed up the drug prices, which doesn't seem to be of any benefit to Chen Yang. Could it be that he also plans to make this one-time deal? This is obviously not in his interest.
Chen Yang sighed and said, "Dabao, there are some things you don't need to know too much. The more you know, the more dangerous you will be."
"The Jews will most likely target you."
"You'll be safer if you don't know anything."
"All you have to do now is stay in the office quietly and wait and watch the show."
Lin Tianbao opened his mouth but didn't ask anything in the end.
"Okay, Boss, I know you must have a detailed plan, so I won't ask. I'll go back first."
Chen Yang nodded, and Lin Tianbao did not hesitate. He stood up, saluted, and left the office.
Chen Yang sighed slightly as he watched Lin Tianbao's receding back.
The reason for not explaining the plan to Lin Tianbao was partly for his own good, and partly because the fewer people who knew about the plan, the better.
Letting the Jews bring down the price of medicines was only the first step of the plan.
Chen Yang asked Lin Tianbao to do so many things just to make the Jewish consortium believe that he did not want to see drug prices fall.
When the price of penicillin has been almost driven down by them, Chen Yang will use the drugs shipped from Europe to impact the market.
Raise the price. As long as they see the price of penicillin rising in the market, many speculative merchants will rush in.
Then the price of penicillin in the market will skyrocket again.
And when the 2,500 boxes of penicillin were sold out, they fell into the trap.
Because soon, medicines produced in Mexico, the United States, and Italy will be delivered to China.
The price at that time will be sixty to seventy US dollars per bottle.
It was impossible for the Jews to sell the medicines at a high price. They would either sell them at a loss of half the price or leave them unsold.
In any case, with 2,500 boxes of medicine, each one costing more than 100 U.S. dollars, that means a loss of 10,000 U.S. dollars for each box. Adding the money they spent on setting up the scheme, the total loss is at least 30 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money is enough to make the Jewish consortium cry for a while.
In fact, Chen Yang’s goal is similar to that of the Jews. The only difference is that the Jews want to extort money from the middle class in Shanghai, while Chen Yang’s target is the Jewish consortium.
North China battlefield, Taihang Mountains.
The 29th Mixed Brigade, seconded from Yoshio Shinozuka in Shanxi, is building an artillery position on a platform in a valley.
Under the command of Commander Tada, the North China Front Army had already defeated most of the main forces of the Red Party in the Taihang Mountains.
The enemy also had no ability to launch a counterattack, and simply relied on their familiarity with the terrain to lead the pursuers in circles.
After receiving the pursuit order, the 29th Brigade took three days to catch up with the main force of the Red Party.
But the opponent doesn't confront you head-on, but fights and retreats at the same time.
The 29th Mixed Brigade had a total of more than people, plus several puppet army security regiments that assisted in the encirclement and suppression, a total of nearly people.
However, the main force of the Red Party they were pursuing still had nearly 30,000 people.
More than 10,000 people chasing and fighting more than 30,000 people was indeed rare in the era of cold weapons, but it seemed commonplace at this time.
The Japanese army had strong firepower support, including artillery, machine guns, and heavy machine guns.
The firepower configuration of both sides is not at the same level at all, which is also the source of the Japanese confidence.
At the platform of the col.
The brigade commander, Major General Kojima, was scanning the Red Party positions not far away with a telescope.
"Sonoda-kun, how many people do you think they left behind to stop us this time?"
The Chief of Staff, Sonoda Nobuyuki, silently calculated and said, "Judging from the fortifications built by the enemy, there should be three regiments of troops this time."
"I have to admit that these Reds are really brave," Xiaodao Shanbao exclaimed, "They actually used three regiments of troops to stop more than 10,000 of our pursuers."
"Are they really not afraid of death?"
"Who wouldn't fear death?" Sonoda Nobuyuki said slowly, looking at the looming figure in the fortifications in the distance. "They are just clowns. A few regiments want to block our way forward. Isn't that a bit too difficult?"
Major General Kojima raised his lips slightly, leaning on his command sword with both hands, and said, "To be honest, I really admire their courage."
"You know you're going to die, but you still act so calm."
"If we were not on the same page, I would really like to let them go."
Sonoda Nobuo said calmly: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. No matter which country it is, national strength is always the greatest confidence of the army."
"Kojima-kun, don't feel sorry for them. It's just that they were born in a country that has been weak for a long time. Death is their fate."
Major General Kojima nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Order, the Third Regiment's artillery fire will cover the fire."
"Hi." The messenger beside him bowed slightly, ran quickly to the position of the signalman in the rear, and issued an artillery order to the artillery position.
After a while, continuous artillery fire was heard. Major General Kojima could clearly see through the telescope that the moment the artillery fire was heard, bloody limbs were blown into the air by the powerful shock wave of the artillery fire.
In addition, there were many wailing and screaming sounds.
The artillery fire continued for half an hour and suddenly stopped.
Kojima Zenbao was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Kawakami-kun, what's going on with the artillery position? Go check it out. Why did they suddenly stop the shelling without my order?"
The messenger did not dare to delay and quickly ran to the signalman to contact the artillery position in the rear. After a while, he ran back panting and said, "Report to Mr. Kojima, the artillery position replied that they have no shells."
"What did you say? No more ammunition?" Major General Kojima said with a smile instead of anger, "Are you saying that the artillery regiment of our 29th Mixed Brigade has no more ammunition?"
The herald officer didn't know what Major General Kojima meant, so he nodded seriously and said, "Colonel Takada, the commander of the artillery regiment, told me so."
"Baka!" Major General Kojima said angrily. "An artillery regiment actually came out to fight without even being fully prepared to run away from the ammunition. How can Captain Takata still do that? If he misses the opportunity to fight, he will be executed by disembowelment."
Sonoda Nobu raised his hand and said, "Kojima-kun, now is not the time to pursue this. We have to take it down even without artillery support. Otherwise, it would be a shame to let the main force of the Red Party escape."
Major General Kojima frowned, barely suppressing his anger and said to the messenger: "Order, the 112th and 104th Regiments will join the Security Corps to launch an assault on the Red Party's position. Make sure to capture their position as soon as possible."
"Hi……"
