"Dr. Sun, what are our main channels for obtaining medicines now?"

After finishing Qianye's matter, Jiang Dong sat in Sun Bangguo's office and asked casually.

When talking about this topic, Sun Bangguo's face showed a hint of helplessness.

In war years, medicines are the most in-demand supplies, and can be said to be more valuable than weapons and equipment.

"Well, it's nothing special. The main thing is to spend money to buy it. Every time the foreign transportation company Johnson works for will not only transport supplies to us, but also bring a certain amount of medicine, which requires a lot of money to buy.

"Sun Bangguo adjusted his glasses.

"Last time I heard Deputy Director Wang Xueqin say that the cost of purchasing medicines alone has accounted for 20% of the total income of the Administrative Office. After spending so much money, we are still in short supply of medicines.

Fortunately, we can now produce medical alcohol and iodophor ourselves, which has reduced the chance of wound infection among injured soldiers to a certain extent."

Medicines are used to protect the lives of soldiers. Jiangdong has never carefully calculated this aspect before.

Unexpectedly, this item alone accounted for 20% of the cost, which made him feel heartbroken.

Jiangdong sighed and rubbed his chest. In the future, the size of the army will become larger and larger, and the demand for medicines will be several times what it is now. If it depends entirely on purchasing, the finances will definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Does Dr. Sun know about sulfonamide powder and penicillin?"

Jiangdong plans to start with these two drugs to change the vacancies in the medical industry in southeastern Shanxi.

Sun Bangguo knew quite a lot about medicines. He frowned and looked at Jiang Dong:

"I know that sulfonamide powder is mainly used to prevent wound infection, and the hospital now has a small amount of it in reserve.

What is penicillin? Is it also a disinfectant?"

"Yeah." Jiangdong said while thinking about it,

"Penicillin not only has the effect of sulfonamide powder, it can be said that this thing can be used to treat 80% of human diseases."

Sun Bangguo looked at Jiangdong with suspicion,

"Sulfonamide powder can already be called a special medicine on the battlefield. Penicillin is so powerful, why hasn't the medical community heard of it?"

Jiangdong made random nonsense,

"I heard about penicillin when I was studying in Europe. Some scientists from Britain, the United States and other countries are working hard to extract this specific drug in the laboratory. There is no doubt about the efficacy of penicillin, but a suitable extraction method has not yet been found.

It will probably take another two to three years for large-scale production and application on the human body."

In 1939, British scientists purified penicillin crystals, which entered clinical trials in 1940 and were mass-produced in the United States in 1942. The global demand for penicillin increased sharply in the 1980s, and the development of this specific drug entered a golden stage around the world, and derived

A series of medicines have been produced.

Penicillin has changed the human medical industry since its emergence. It is a milestone in the development of antibiotic drugs for mankind and a miracle in the history of medical care.

It was one of the greatest inventions during World War II and saved the lives of countless wounded soldiers.

Jiangdong led the world for about two years, but currently Shanxi can only produce alcohol and iodine. It is extremely difficult to develop its own medical industry.

"Does the army commander want to make pharmaceuticals in Shanxi?"

Sun Bangguo has also heard about Jiangdong's series of big moves during this period. Now he has set his sights on the medical industry. Sun Bangguo is not surprised, but he is not very optimistic about it.

"The medical industry not only needs scientists and equipment, but also requires a lot of research funding. To be honest, I'm afraid the money spent on research is more than the money spent on medicines, and in the end there may not be any results."

It's definitely not possible to do it by yourself. Jiang Dong waved his hand,

"In a period of time, a large number of scientific talents will come to Shanxi from the rear. I hope there will be talents in drug research. I plan to build a medical laboratory first.

Of course, we cannot do these things by ourselves. I have already established a connection with the United States. We exchange research results for equipment and raw materials needed for large-scale production.

Take one step at a time to ultimately achieve your own autonomy in medicines.

Let’s start with the production of sulfonamide powder first, and I will ask the Industrial Development Board to purchase equipment and recruit talents soon.”

Looking at the slightly excited Jiang Dong, Sun Bangguo did not say anything sorry.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Jiang Dong picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. Penicillin and sulfonamide powder reminded him of battlefield first aid. He pondered for a while and said:

"The U.S. Army equips every soldier with a first-aid kit, which contains sulfa powder, bandages, morphine and other first-aid drugs.

Dr. Sun asked someone to calculate it together. If we also need to equip every soldier with a first-aid kit, what is the approximate demand for various drugs? What is the funding?

Now every soldier is carefully trained by us and is extremely valuable. I hope to improve the survival rate of lightly and seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield."

Only now did Sun Bangguo realize that Jiang Dong in front of him had a complete idea, and he couldn't help but admire him.

"Okay, I'll calculate the relevant data as soon as possible. It's really admirable that Chief Jiang cares so much about his brothers."

Jiang Dong shook his head and continued:

"In addition, I am also planning to add battlefield first aid to daily military training. I need Dr. Sun to allocate manpower to train some instructors, and then promote it to the entire army."

"Does Chief Jiang want everyone to be a health worker and a medical soldier?"

"Soldiers learn battlefield first aid mainly so that they can make better use of first aid kits so that the wounded can receive timely rescue from their companions.

Hygienists are different from ordinary soldiers. Their battlefield first aid capabilities must be at least several times stronger than those of soldiers. Hygienists must further treat simple wounds and must be able to perform operations such as infusion, blood transfusion, and warhead removal if conditions permit."

Sun Bangguo was completely convinced. He stroked his forehead and said,

"If this is the case, all the health workers in the army need to be remade. Commander Jiang might as well just set up a health school and teach uniformly."

Jiang Dong's eyes lit up,

"This is a good idea. The health school can be set up within a week, and then it will take a month to train all the health workers in the army. After that, the health workers will teach the soldiers battlefield first aid knowledge.

In this way, this set can be completed in three months. After that, veterans will lead new recruits, and the professionalism of the army will be greatly enhanced."

Jiang Dong smiled brightly and clapped his hands involuntarily.

Sun Bangguo was stunned for a while.

Jiangdong stood up. He wanted to implement today's ideas in various departments.

"Dr. Sun will allocate the training doctors needed by the health school, and I will do the other things.

By the way, the female spy should not stop taking her daily medicine, and I will come see her again in two days."

Jiang Dong nodded casually, and then strode out of Sun Bangguo's office.

…

The huge benefits of penicillin are enough to make the Rockefeller family excited. Kodong is ready to hold the patent in his hands, and then sell the patent and let the Americans provide the equipment needed for large-scale production.

For this matter, he personally went to inquire about Jillian. The latter had already contacted her family, and the business inspection team would arrive in Shanxi soon.

Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

A vast construction work involving the military, civil affairs, industry and people's livelihood is in full swing.

In half a year, Jiangdong can be fully developed in just half a year.

At that time, there will be no need to do transactions in one place and one in the west, and you will truly have the leadership and right to speak.

With the military as the guarantee of force, industry as the support of strength, and people and people's livelihood as the basis, a huge system will operate at high speed.

After such a situation occurs, Jiangdong's chariot will drive forward indomitably and will not change due to the influence of individual forces and personal will.

…

In the next two days, the Military Intelligence Bureau made contact with the 50-person action team of the Super High School through the radio and code book they had.

This elite team of 50 people was surrounded and annihilated by members of the Military Intelligence Bureau just after passing through Licheng. The attack on the instructors came to an end.
