Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Chapter 21 This Comrade Ma is truly one of our good comrades!

"This is what the roads of the future will be like! They're so wide, and the streetlights are so bright!"

"And this department store—the floors are spotless, the goods are plentiful, and the prices are low!"

"The people all looked radiant, and quite a few were even overweight—they clearly had plenty of nutrition!"

"..."

Inside the building, Commander Liu held his mobile phone in his hand, while Deputy Commander Xu and Political Commissar Zhang stood on his left and right sides.

At this moment, the three of them were intently watching the video on their phones.

Deputy Division Commander Xu and Political Commissar Zhang were both watching for the first time, so they were extremely excited.

Even though Commander Liu had seen it once before, he was still very shocked.

They saw from the very back to the very front.

Suddenly, they saw a group photo.

It was on the very day he bought the phone that Ma Hongwei took a photo with Xia Weiwei, holding the phone.

Commander Liu swiped his finger again and found another photo of the two of them together.

He asked with a smile, "Xia, is this young man the Comrade Xiao Ma you mentioned?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu suddenly joked, "You two young comrades seem to be quite close!"

"Swish"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei blushed instantly, feeling a sense of helplessness and shyness born of inexperience.

Similarly, there was also a bit of tension and curiosity.

Xia Weiwei comes from a very strict family and has a personal escort. In the past, she never dared to date early like her other classmates.

After being exposed to progressive ideas, she became even more focused on revolution and never thought about personal matters.

Even now, when teased by her superior, the image of Ma Hongwei still involuntarily comes to mind.

Recalling the moments they spent together, her tranquil state of mind was involuntarily disrupted, stirring up ripples in her heart.

The three leaders were all shrewd individuals. Just by looking at Xia Weiwei's expression, they knew perfectly well that the girl had developed feelings for him.

And this is exactly what they hoped for.

After all, at this stage, Xia Weiwei still needs to rely on the other party, and so do they.

"Ahem!"

Political Commissar Zhang suddenly coughed and asked, "Um... Xia, you know our Chief of Staff is sick and urgently needs sulfonamides for treatment. I wonder if you can get any?"

Upon hearing Political Commissar Zhang's words, Division Commander Liu and Deputy Division Commander Xu also became serious.

They all turned their gaze to Xia Weiwei.

If we could obtain some of the medicine from another time and space, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army soldiers would be greatly reduced.

"Reporting to the commander, I have brought back the medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei quickly spoke up.

"Did you bring it back?"

Political Commissar Zhang and Division Commander Liu exchanged a glance, then hurriedly asked, "Where are the medicines? I'll send someone to get them right now!"

The chief of staff was their old comrade-in-arms, so naturally he was very worried about his old comrade's safety.

Even now, underground personnel in Beiping and Shanghai have begun spending precious funds to purchase medicines.

However, it will take a long time to cross the battlefield and get here.

"Please look, leaders!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she casually waved her hand, and two large boxes immediately appeared out of thin air in the room.

"This...this..."

"Huh? How did you do that?"

Seeing this, even the three staunch materialists were shocked.

Indeed, this method of summoning things out of thin air is like the legendary magic of immortals.

Commander Liu had already witnessed it, so he was not as shocked as the other two.

Xia Weiwei quickly explained, "Actually, in addition to gaining the ability to travel through time, I also have an extra 18 cubic meters of storage space."

"With just a thought, I can put items into my storage space and take them out as well."

As she spoke, another thought struck her, and she took out a box of saline solution and some glass syringes.

"That's amazing!"

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"

Looking at the items on the ground, Commander Liu and the other two were all filled with emotion.

Then, Commander Liu looked at the boxes on the ground and asked, "Are all of these sulfonamides? How much did this cost?"

"These aren't sulfonamides, but penicillin, which is much more effective!"

Xia Weiwei explained, "In our current timeline, only powerful nations like Britain can extract it from laboratories."

"This time, Comrade Hongwei asked me to bring back enough penicillin for 320 million wounded soldiers!"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, even the three leaders, with their composure, couldn't help but gasp.

Political Commissar Zhang asked in a deep voice, "Comrade Xia, this is no laughing matter. Did you really bring back enough medicine for 320 million wounded soldiers?"

"Commissar, I dare say there's more medicine than there's intended!"

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "The 320 million I mentioned is based on a dosage of 5000 units. When the US military first equipped itself with this, the dosage used was only 2000 units."

"However, this unit is effective for people with milder symptoms. For patients with severe symptoms, the dosage needs to be increased continuously."

Seeing the seriousness with which Xia Weiwei spoke, the three leaders believed him.

Commander Liu said with deep emotion, "I really don't know how to thank Comrade Ma Hongwei!"

"yes!"

Political Commissar Zhang nodded as well.

As Japan launched its full-scale invasion of China, even drugs like sulfonamides became incredibly expensive, requiring small yellow croakers to purchase them.

While penicillin, a high-tech drug, will be widely available in the future, its value will certainly not be low.

Xia Weiwei said with a smile, "Actually, it didn't cost that much. It's about the equivalent of two months' salary for a teacher in a small county in their world!"

"What did you say?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu exclaimed in shock, "Two months' salary can buy enough medicine to supply 320 million troops?"

"That's right!"

Xia Weiwei said, "Comrade Hongwei said that if it is purchased wholesale, the price will be much lower. This is already the retail price."

"puff!"

The three leaders were completely speechless.

Here, medicines that are more valuable than gold are surprisingly cheap in the future world.

It seems that people in the future are truly living a good life.

Political Commissar Zhang said, "In that case, let's quickly administer the medicine to the Chief of Staff!"

"This medication cannot be used immediately; a skin test must be performed first!"

Xia Weiwei quickly explained, "Because some people are allergic to this drug, if it is injected directly into the patient's body, it will kill the patient. Therefore, a skin test must be performed before use to see if there is an allergic reaction."

She paused, then continued, "If there's an allergic reaction, I also brought back some sulfonamides, which can also be used."

"What?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu exclaimed in surprise, "You even managed to get sulfonamides back?"

"Um!"

Xia Weiwei nodded and said, "Comrade Hongwei said that these sulfonamides are for emergencies, in case someone is allergic to penicillin and cannot take the medication."

"In addition, they have a lot of sulfonamides and penicillin over there. He said that we can use some sulfonamides to exchange for weapons, equipment, food supplies and money from the Kuomintang."

Hearing Xia Weiwei's words, Commander Liu said with emotion, "This Comrade Ma is truly a good comrade of ours, always thinking of us!"
