Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 63: Secretly Sneaking into the Laboratory

"When did this happen? It was the same when I came last time!" Qingmu Qiao chatted casually with the driver.

"The last time you were there was probably two months ago. Two months ago, news came out of the lab up ahead that they had developed a drug that was almost as effective as the legendary life-saving drug back in America. A few days later, the SS surrounded the lab and the pharmaceutical factory, and forced the residents inside to move."

Aoki Takashi and Fujiwara Mio looked at each other. Sure enough, it was the same routine as America. They were following suit. They were in trouble!
The car drove straight forward. There were high barbed wire fences on both sides of the road, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The two got off at a hotel that looked decent and checked in.

After the two entered the hotel's second-floor room, Chen Jiehua signaled Fujiwara Mio to remain silent while he prepared to check for any eavesdropping devices. It's always better to be cautious.

If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his dignity; if several things are not discreet, harm will occur. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and discreet and does not go out of his way. (The Book of Changes, Xici Shang)

The current situation had already exceeded their expectations. It should be said that it had greatly exceeded Chen Jiehua's cognition. The deviation rate from the direction was quite high!
The SS was a prominent force during World War II, but this was only 1929, long before the moustache took hold! So, there was already an SS?

This is only one reason. Second, the leak of the sulfa drug was also inexplicable. Now the purpose of that colleague coming here is basically clear. He must have gone to America first, but didn't get any advantage at the penicillin pharmaceutical factory, so he wanted to come here to take a look.

So looking at it this way, he is neither American nor German, so which one could he be from?
Not long after the two men entered and closed the door, Chen Jiehua only thought for a dozen seconds. Before he had finished checking the common locations of installed eavesdropping devices, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart! The alarm signal reappeared!

Chen Jiehua immediately and swiftly put the suitcase into the space, and took out a gun and a scalpel and gave them to Fujiwara Mio!
Fujiwara Mio understood instantly! She quickly went to the window to check. There was nothing wrong with the back. She turned around and looked at Chen Jiehua. Chen Jiehua gestured, "Go!"

The two men covered each other and quickly climbed out of the window to leave the inn, walked back to the front street through the two shops, and followed the onlookers back to the front door!
So that's it! It was that Reichsmark that was ruined! The taxi driver went back and reported it to the SS. Two Asian men came to inquire about the lab and checked into this hotel!
The hotel was in chaos. I definitely couldn't go back. My money was wasted. The most important thing was that after all this commotion, I had no place to stay!
If they didn't want to stay, then they could just go in and find Gerhard's team to learn more about the situation. The two of them quietly retreated into the darkness, arriving at the barbed wire fence surrounding the Bayer Pharmaceutical Factory's cordoned-off area to observe the situation inside.

A six-man SS patrol with wolfhounds. Time it up. 6 minutes later, another patrol passes, a different one! Another 15 minutes later, another!
We measured the barbed wire and fortunately, there was no electricity. Although it was a bit high, it was not difficult for us.

"It seems the defense here is no less powerful than America's! Even the residents have been mobilized!"

"Five minutes after the team behind me passes, I'll climb in. Don't go in. Find a place to hide outside and wait for me to come back. Remember, no matter what movement there is inside, don't go in. If the situation is not right, run away. If you really get caught, you can still find a way to find my family to rescue me from outside."

"Okay, I listen to you."

Chen Jiehua swiftly climbed over the barbed wire, carefully avoided patrols along the way, and sneaked through a long blank area. Damn, these Americans really don’t teach us good things, but only teach us these bad ideas, such as setting up a circular buffer zone, which is super troublesome!
In the pharmaceutical factory, the lights are bright and the workers are busy. Each production line is guarded by special SS soldiers. All the workshops only produce one kind of medicine, Bailangduoxi tablets!

Tablets! Holy crap! I get it! Penicillin's use is conditional and requires saline solution and a syringe, which is beyond the capabilities of the average soldier. And crucially, life-saving drugs aren't completely life-saving. Allergic reactions can actually hasten death. There must have been numerous cases of death from allergic reactions after using penicillin!
But sulfamethoxazole is different. Prontosil can be made into an injection for hospitals or tablets for soldiers to carry with them! No additional medical personnel are needed! It is extremely convenient to use!

There's another important point Chen Jiehua had overlooked. While Prolonged Oxygen may also cause allergic reactions, the probability is very low, and the mortality rate is low! This makes Prolonged Oxygen's military strategic value even greater than penicillin! Using modern thinking, ignoring the social context of the time, to arbitrarily judge the value of a drug is tantamount to hooliganism!
Chen Jiehua didn't even know if he had opened Pandora's box or something! Would this change history? Would it embolden the mustache fighters and bring World War II to an early stage? I couldn't even imagine it!

Don’t think about it for now. Just bypass the guards along the way and sneak into the warehouse to load two boxes of Bailang Duoxi tablets into the space first.

The next step was to find a laboratory. According to my previous memory, the Bayer laboratory was located in the center of the pharmaceutical factory. At that time, my own pharmaceutical factory was built based on the Bayer model.

Compared to the production workshop, the guards in the laboratory were somewhat lax. Did they not value the experimental data at all? Chen Jiehua easily found the young and strong Gerhard Domagk.

"Mr. Gerhard!"

"Oh, my dear BOSS! I finally meet you!" Gerhard Domagk pulled Chen Jiehua into his lounge.

"Mr. Gerhard, what's going on outside? Why are so many SS soldiers surrounding the pharmaceutical factory area?"

"Alas, my dear boss, I want to apologize. After returning from America, we continued our research in the lab, and a month after we returned, we succeeded! But because we didn't keep it secret, the same thing happened as with the penicillin team! Some team members secretly took the drug out for use and sale. You should know that many people have spent all their money!"

"Mr. Gerhard, I fully understand all of this, and I solemnly declare that I forgive you. This was an oversight on my part. But now I want to get your experimental data!"

"I'm so sorry, dear Boss, the experimental data and materials were stolen by those robbers!"

"What? Who? The SS outside?"

"Yes, my boss."

Damn, I’m drunk. I’ve been busy for several years, but ended up making wedding dresses for others?

Just as Chen Jiehua was hanging his head in silence, Gerhard Domagk suddenly whispered mysteriously, "But Boss, I left a copy of the data specifically for you. It's hidden among a pile of old supplies in the warehouse."

Seeing the cute yet annoying face of the guy opposite him, Chen Jiehua really wanted to slap him. Damn, can you please stop breathing heavily when you talk!
"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there!"
