    "Are the Chinese crazy?" "I don't think so yet, but this is obviously the beginning of their anger." Of course, it is impossible for people at Pfizer to attack the president of their country because of a drug.  Although they also had spokespersons in Congress, Roosevelt was not someone they could impeach.  The president who has led the United States out of the economic crisis has unimaginable support in the United States. Unless he takes office, no one will be qualified to replace him, let alone impeachment.  Of course, this is mainly because penicillin has not yet achieved a corresponding status in the pharmaceutical industry around the world If Pfizer really passes by penicillin in the end, and sees the popularity of this drug in the future, it is estimated that Roosevelt will still be extremely  unsatisfied.  It may be difficult to say whether he will be impeached or not, but he is sure to cause trouble.  But now, the people at Pfizer faithfully relayed what they saw and heard in China to Roosevelt.  "The anger of the Chinese people?" Listening to Cordell Hull, his own Secretary of State, say this seriously, Roosevelt felt like laughing, but was embarrassed, "Do you think they will really be angry?  Have you done anything to harm the United States? " "We have detained the new fighter jets they commissioned from Grumman Corporation. According to the intelligence we obtained in China, although the Chinese have not yet suffered any losses in air combat with the Japanese.  There has been no defeat, but their desire for this new fighter jet has obviously reached its extreme," Hull said.  "But we have provided them with a lot of assistance." Roosevelt said.  "But according to intelligence, the Chinese are now extremely dependent on the air force. They have deployed the air force on a large scale in several large-scale battles with the Japanese. Especially in the Battle of Nanchang last year, because of the Chinese air force's attack, they  Obtained an absolute advantage in the battle against the Japanese, and finally eliminated three Japanese divisions This was an unimaginable result for China before. You know, how many times did they have to use it before?  Only one army can stop a Japanese brigade or even a regiment, and there is a high chance that it will not be able to stop them in the end," Army Chief of Staff Marshall said.  "So, they now want to further strengthen the Air Force?" Roosevelt asked.  "Yes." Marshall said expressionlessly, "We have studied several battles between China and Japan in the past year It was precisely because China gained air supremacy that it had a chance to breathe today. Otherwise, they would not only lose Nanchang, but  It is even possible that Hunan and Guangxi have been lost. In that case, the Chinese government will only be able to survive in a few remote provinces in the southwest, waiting for our more vigorous support. " "If that is the case, they are not worthy of our assistance.  "Hell said seriously.  "You are absolutely right." Marshall said: "It is precisely because we saw that the Chinese government still has the ability to fight back that we decided to support them in continuing to fight the Japanese. But according to reliable intelligence, the Japanese should be gradually taking back the air  AdvantageSo, the Chinese can't wait, but they need our assistance. That's why they protested to us through Pfizer's informal channels." "Didn't the Chinese win the air battle with the Japanese?  "Secretary of Commerce, Frederick Glen Hopkins, one of Roosevelt's most important staff, suddenly asked.  "It was very difficult." Marshall said: "Their victory in the air battle. It is better to say it was a victory in the intelligence war. The Japanese fighter jets in Siberia left the Soviets with almost no ability to fight back. This forced Stalin to postpone it again and again.  time for counterattack. This shows that their fighter jets are very good in performance. Almost all the Chinese aircraft come from the Soviet Union, and a large part of the pilots belong to the Soviet Volunteer Air Force that aided China. Therefore, they cannot have made any modifications to the aircraft.  , can only rely on tactics and intelligence. But this situation cannot last forever. As long as the Japanese have enough fighter jets, they can use their absolute strength to overcome all obstacles And as China and the Soviet Union successively attacked Japan.  The mainland has been bombed, and people will not wait too long for this day. "How about that aircraft?" Roosevelt suddenly turned to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox and Secretary of War Henry Stinson.  "Excellent." Stinson knew that Roosevelt was asking about the fighter jet that the Chinese government commissioned Grumman to develop. "This aircraft is better than all the fighter jets we have in service. It can be said that the Chinese design makes our aircraft better."  The designers were shocked. "That's why we were reluctant to hand them over to the Chinese. Even the design and manufacturing technology were provided by the Chinese."  "So. Now the Chinese are angry and have decided to threaten us with a drug?" Roosevelt asked with a smile.  "Don't underestimate this kind of medicine." HopeKings said.  He basically didn't say anything just now, because the things he talked about before basically had nothing to do with his business.  But now that penicillin was involved, he had to speak: "According to reports provided by the Chinese, this new drug is more effective than sulfa. I also consulted the embassy in China about this, and the result  We have also received relatively accurate reports that the Chinese government invested heavily in the research and development of new drugs about a year or two ago, and this drug has been tested on countless Chinese soldiers and is very effective. " "They actually used soldiers to test it.  Test?" Hull asked with a frown.  "That's China, it's a battlefield, you should understand." Hopkins shrugged and didn't care about his yelling.  "Can we make it?" Knox suddenly asked.  "Of course, the Chinese have provided all the manufacturing technology." Hopkins smiled, "But don't try to use the other party's design like the fighter jet named my 'Hellcat'  After that, all the fighter jets were withheld from the designers because the Chinese had already applied for patents in the United States. "What's this?" Knox laughed.  Of course we need to pay attention to things like patents, but it also depends on when. As long as the local government acquiesces, it will be useless even if we apply for a patent in heaven, let alone the United States: "Do they think this can blackmail us?" "What if?"  The Chinese didn't sell patents to Europe, so they really can't blackmail us. "But they chose the Germans as their partners." Hull said, "I don't think this will be the case for us either."  "Then you don't think the Chinese will have any further means?" Hopkins asked: "The Chinese have been approaching us and Britain and France, but Germany has recently begun to follow them frequently.  Japan is in contact. This cannot be hidden from the Chinese, so we can basically conclude that this is just a move by the Chinese to obtain sufficient benefits from Germany With the further contact between Germany and Japan, and the stalemate in the European war.  , they will soon fall into the arms of Britain and France. At that time, the patent of penicillin will soon become the possession of Britain and France Will they allow us to violate their own laws again? " "This shows that the Chinese have become smarter.  They actually know how to use Britain and France to counterpress us But what does it matter? Britain and France are at war with Germany. Will they offend us because they make less money?  Produce such drugs for them," Hull said with a smile.  ¡°What if the Chinese applied for patents on more than just penicillin?¡± Hopkins asked again.  "They also have new drugs?" Hull was a little surprised. "Glan (Hopkins), are you kidding?" "It's better not to be a joke. Because if it is true, we will get more  There are many benefitsthose drug companies will be very happy to 'develop' some new drugs," Knox said with a smile.  ¡°Do the Chinese have any conspiracy?¡± Marshall suddenly looked at Hopkins and asked.  "Actually, George, your guess is absolutely correct." Hopkins said with a wry smile, "The Chinese have applied for patents for dozens of new drugs" "Dozens?" including Roosevelt.  Inside, everyone couldn't help but scream, and even Marshall, who looked like the mountain was collapsing in front of him without changing his expression, shivered twice.  They are not ignorant people. They naturally know how long it takes and how complex the verification is for a new drug to go from research to production. The fact that the Chinese can come up with penicillin, an anti-inflammatory drug that is better than sulfa, is already very impressive to them.  He was surprised, but that could at least be understood as accidental, but dozens of new drugs "Glan, are you, are you sure you are talking about the Chinese?" Hull didn't want to ask such an impudent question, but he really  Can't help it.  How could the Chinese come up with so many new drugs at once?  "There are indeed dozens of species, and the number continues to increase!" Hopkins replied helplessly.  "Is it still increasing?" Roosevelt felt as if his legs were shaking twice. "Glan, have youhave you investigated? Are these drugs strictly verified? The information they provided" "Chinese people control  This kind of medicine is called "Chinese patent medicine"! It is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years! Therefore, the information they provide is extremely sound. As for clinical verification I don't know if the medical records of Chinese doctors for thousands of years can be counted.  "But as far as I know, these materials have actually been recognized by many medical experts and should be patented soon," Hopkins replied.  "I don't care whether it's patented or not, but this is the new drug you're talking about?" Stinson covered his chest, "Secretary of Commerce HopkinsSir, you should sort out your words next time you speak.  The Chinese medicines are obviously old medicines and have a history of thousands of years Their patent period should have expired long ago.  " "Whether they are old or new, these drugs will indeed pass patent verification soon.  But this is not a problem. The biggest problem is" Hopkins took a deep breath: "The Chinese claim that they have developed specific drugs for tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, malaria, and even diabetes, but they refuse  Apply for a patent in the United States!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
