Chapter 72 Nanyang, Arms
Arsenic Vanneming and isoniazid have given Chen Wenqiang an international reputation. The clinical trial of isoniazid has begun in Europe and the United States, and the effect is very good. It is only a matter of time before it is launched. The synthesis of two new drugs was successful and completed in less than a year. What tricks does Chen Wenqiang have? What kind of miracles will he create? Everyone is paying attention to it.
If it were only Arsenic Vannemin, it might be difficult for Chen Wenqiang to win the honor because of his nationality and race discrimination. However, with the emergence of isoniazid, the Swedish Academy of Sciences cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb. According to reliable sources, the Swedish Academy of Sciences has made a resolution that as long as the clinical trial of isoniazid can be successful, the winner of next year's Nobel Prize in Medicine will definitely have a place for Chen Wenqiang.
“…A prize is for those who have made the most significant discoveries in the medical and physiological circles…”
"The nationality of the winner candidate is not considered, that is, whether he or she is a Scandinavian or not, whoever meets the conditions best should receive the prize. I hereby declare that it is my urgent desire to award the prize in this way..."
Science has no borders, and this is clearly stated in Nobel's will. In various awards, the Science Prize and the Medical Prize have proved to have little controversy, and they are both real inventions and discoveries. Therefore, the achievements Chen Wenqiang has won make it almost impossible to win the award. At worst, he can add another Westerner to save some of the faces that the West continues to lead in science and other fields.
Chen Wenqiang, who was gradually shrouded in halos of mystery and genius, made the Dutch believe and doubtful, but he did not dare to deny it easily. Who knows whether a miracle will happen again and share a piece of the big cake monopolized by the Dutch?
Among the speculations of all parties, although Chen Wenqiang's trip to Southeast Asia was not extremely grand, he was warmly welcomed by local Chinese people because of the media's advance preparation and momentum. He did not have a clear official and political background, which made many overseas Chinese less concerned and treated Chen Wenqiang as the pride of Chinese people.
Chen Wenqiang was very humble when traveling through areas and cities with a large number of Chinese people, including Penang, Perak, Yamaguchi, Singapore, Sumatra, and Sumatra. He visited Chinese celebrities and wealthy businessmen from all over the country, attended a welcome meeting held by Chinese, consulted and discussed with interested investment partners, and revealed the future research direction of new drugs (treatment of bacterial infectious diseases).
Of course, some overseas Chinese have also raised the problems of high incidence of malaria in Southeast Asia and high price of quinine, hoping that Qiangzhuo Laboratory can carry out research on malaria treatment. Chen Wenqiang said that he could strengthen the research and confidently said: It is not very difficult to develop new antimalarial drugs. He already has ideas. If he goes all out, he will almost be able to do it in one year.
Many things were published in newspapers, especially newspapers that were controlled or invested in by the instructed Revival Club, which were promoted more vigorously. Chen Wenqiang's footsteps passed through Malaya, Dutch East India, Siam, Yangon, Indochina and other places, and the secret work was not known to outsiders. The important role of this visit and travel was gradually revealed in the future, and various secret measures gradually surfaced.

The boat was floating on the sea, and the salty and wet sea breeze made Carls feel uncomfortable. He liked the unique smell of the buttered barrel, and the auditory beauty of the explosion and metal shattering.
His professional interest in weapons made him look down on the Chinese, who often did not even have the basic knowledge of using weapons, let alone tactical use. But his judgment was being shattered, shattered by the professional evaluation of a tall Chinese with a big beard on the deck.
"Be a pistol, it's too big; be a submachine gun, it's not easy to control the jumping of the muzzle." Chen Wenqiang shook his head repeatedly, looking at the guy in Mauser's 1896 style, also called box cannon. "The grip is not good at it." He turned to Carls, "As a weapon expert, have you not found these shortcomings? This makes me quite suspicious of your professional level!"
A sea breeze blew, and the tall and blond German Karls swallowed hard. He wanted to do something big in the arms deal, but now he realized that he had to take the test to defeat his competitor, a Danes with a business in Guangzhou, who had a firm connection with Macau.
"This is a semi-automatic pistol, it's OK." Karls combined the wooden gun magazine on the gun as a stock, and held it up and put it in a shooting position. "This way you can control the jump on the muzzle, and the power of rapid fire will make any enemy frightened."
"It's difficult to carry." Chen Wenqiang only used four words, which made Carls' face dim again.
"The rifle is pretty good." Chen Wenqiang picked up a Mauser g98 and smiled faintly: "This is indeed the standard rifle of your infantry now, and it is not a fake Mauser sold to China."
"My reputation is unquestionable," said Carls, straightening his chest: "And there are safe transport ships and safe delivery locations."
"Is Qingdao?" Chen Wenqiang said with a word and then shook his head gently and said, "No, no, what I want is not only weapons and ammunition, but also a production line. If you can do it, you will become our only and largest weapon supplier. Machine guns and artillery, as long as you can transport them in the future, we will buy them at the price."
Carls hesitated, and the other party's appetite surprised and excited him, but he had to estimate his abilities.
"I bought all these goods." Chen Wenqiang did not give Carls too much time to consider, and had already started ordering, or to stimulate Carls. "Including these dozens of Mauser**, it is considered a reward for your hard work. But will you cooperate in the future?"
"I can get the production line." Carls made his final decision while Chen Wenqiang pondered, and a look of desire appeared on his face.
"If you can get a production line, you can ship the production line with a thousand rifles, 500,000 bullets, and explosives... We settle the bill in cash, and do not owe credit." Chen Wenqiang injected Carls with another shot of stimulant, "But time is the key. If you cannot complete it within six months, the agreement will be invalid."
This was a great opportunity, Karls bit his lip. He originally thought it would take several years to get some fucked, but now, it only takes six months to return to Germany, to Ruhr, to the Rhine... to live a rich life.
While sailing to the shore in a small boat, Karls couldn't help but look back at the steamship parked in the sea, and thought flashed out in his mind: What kind of person is this? Is he a hot-headed fool who wants to rebel or revolution, or a far-sighted practical worker? One thing can be confirmed that, like most Asians, this person never bows his head, or at least refuses to bow to the Westerners he despised. From his actions and expressions of tearing checks, he does have unusual confidence.
The check, yes, Karls reached out to pinch his pocket, feeling fulfilled. But this was just the beginning, ten times higher than this check, and a hundred times more money than this check, he would make it as long as he worked hard.
