"Second young master, I believe that if we want to take down the northeast and develop the northeast into your foundation, there are three problems that need to be solved.
One was the local forces in the northeast. Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin, Meng Enyuan, and the others.
The second was the East Asian who had been eyeing the northeast like a tiger eyeing its prey. When I was studying in the East, I had a deep understanding of the desire of the East Asian people for the Northeast. They even saw the northeast as their lifeline. It could be foreseen that they would definitely launch an attack on the northeast and even annex the northeast.
The third reason was that if he wanted to vigorously build and develop the northeast, he would need a large amount of money.”
Yang Du quickly gave his opinion.
Yuan Kewen couldn't help but nod his head in admiration.
An awesome person was an awesome person! At least in these aspects, he was far inferior.
His vision and structure were bigger. He was even more familiar with the development of history. This was his advantage.
However, these professionals were still in charge of the specific matters.
"Xi Zi, the first problem is easy to solve. There was no other way to deal with the local tyrants in the northeast. He could only use his powerful strength to eliminate them. The 101st Infantry Division would soon become a combat force. After that, there would be a large-scale expansion of the army. Taking care of the local tyrants in the northeast was not a problem.
The second question was even more obvious. There will be a war between us and the East Asian people sooner or later. Even though the East Asians had become a superpower after defeating the Russians. However, they did not gain any benefits from that battle. On the contrary, because of the huge military expenditure, their finances were on the verge of collapse. The current East Asian people weren't too strong, so it wasn't impossible to deal with them.
I have already solved the third problem. Or rather, a portion of it had already been resolved. I've already reached an agreement with the Germans. After we take the northeast, they will provide us with 500 million marks worth of machinery and equipment to help us develop our industry.”
Yuan Kewen revealed his plan.
As for Yang Du, he was dumbstruck. He hadn't expected Yuan Kewen to have done this.
Other than curbing the ambitions of the East Asian people in the northeast, there seemed to be no problems in other aspects.
"Xi Zi, although the enemy we are facing is very powerful, we are not afraid of him. However, I believe that we will definitely succeed!”Yuan Kewen said.
"Second Young Master, don't worry. I will do my best to assist Second Young Master. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I won't hesitate!”Yang Du said excitedly.
After Yang Du left, Yuan Kewen frowned again.
To develop the northeast, a large amount of money was needed.
Even if the Germans provided a loan of 500 million marks, it was still far from enough.
Not to mention that before they marched into the northeast, they still needed to expand their army on a large scale and eliminate the local tyrants in the northeast. They might even need to fight a war with the Japanese, which would require even more money.
If they did not have enough funds to support it. In that case, his plans were just castles in the air.
"How can I get money?”Yuan Kewen fell into deep thought.
Yuan Datou definitely couldn't be counted on. The current Beiyang government was also short of money. Therefore, he could only think of a way himself.
Suddenly, Yuan Kewen thought of an idea.
In this era, there was no such thing as antibiotics.
Once an infection occurred, it was often a dead end.
In war, it was very easy to get infected because of injuries.
In a war, the number of casualties due to infection was often more than the number of casualties.
If he could make a miracle drug like penicillin, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.
However, although Yuan Kewen knew about penicillin, he knew nothing about how to cultivate and refine it.
Besides, he didn't have much time to do research now.
However, before the discovery of penicillin, there was something that could be developed.
That was the sulfuric acid.
Compared to the cultivation of Penicilin, Sulfanilide only needed to be produced by the chloridizing, imprinting, dehydration, and neutralizing of the acetainide. As long as one had a little chemistry knowledge, they could do it. Although the effect of sulfuric acid could not be compared to that of penicillin, it was toxic and could not be consumed. However, even if it was used externally, it had a very good anti-infectious effect. Before the invention of penicillin, this was definitely the best anti-infectious drug.
Next, Yuan Kewen had Yang Du go to the Capital University and find a few chemistry students to develop the sulfuric acid according to his method.
In just three days, he had successfully produced sulfuric acid.
However, Yuan Kewen didn't immediately sell the sulfuric acid. Instead, he sent a telegram to the envoys of Yanhuang Kingdom in Europe and America, asking them to register the patent.
One had to know that those foreigners were very cunning.
If there was no patent, they would directly copy it. How would Yuan Kewen earn money then?
By the time everything was done, a month had passed.
On April 15th, 1812, Yuan Kewen personally invited the envoys of the Sun Never Sets Empire, Gaul Empire, Germanic Empire, Tsarist Russia Empire, and the Lighthouse Empire to meet with the Yanhuang Empire to discuss the patent authorization of sulfuric acid.
