371 Emphasis on training
Li Xiaofeng's so-called new plan is actually to do nothing. He will not interrupt the supply of the Allied Group's special medicine. How can he let go of such a chance to make money? If you miss this village, you will have to wait twenty years later next time.
"According to the prediction of Umbrella's disease prevention department, in the near future, the whole world will be attacked by a severe influenza virus!" said a fairy with a smile.
Akimovich couldn't feel the wind and didn't know what the relationship between the flu and the new plan. A certain immortal had to patiently explain: "Of course it's related. According to data from Umbrella's Center for Disease Control, the mortality and infectivity of this influenza virus are quite high. Once it spreads, it will easily kill tens of millions of people!"
Akimovich felt that a certain immortal was talking crazy. Influenza was not rare in Europe and was very contagious, but I never heard of any time that he could kill tens of millions of people. He felt that a certain immortal was just gaining benefits and was not doing anything.
"What do you know!" Li Xiaofeng was impatient and scolded: "Do you think I'm exaggerating? Are you not afraid to tell you that the first wave of the flu virus is coming. If you don't control it, you can see how many people will die!"
Seeing that a certain immortal was infuriated, Akimovich could only swallow his anger and asked, "Even if this flu virus is so powerful, what does it have to do with our cooperation?"
A fairy smiled: "Of course it's relevant. What if I tell you that Umbrella has developed a special medicine to subdue the virus?"
Akimovich's mouth twitched, and he finally knew what someone was thinking about, just like the last virus outbreak! This guy is still going to make money!
"How can you say that?" Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly, "Umbrella will provide your country with one million special medicines for free. Your country's army can launch an attack when the flu breaks out in the Allied Army. I think the effect will definitely be very good!"
Akimovich thought for a while and said, "One million doses of special medicine is not enough. We need at least three million doses!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "No problem. As long as you transfer the next two million orders and money to the Umbrella company account, the medicine will arrive immediately!"
Akimovich curled his lips, saying that he was speechless about his greed for a certain immortal. You are just trying to make money!
"Just giving us one million copies for free is far from enough. At least three million copies should be given for free!"
"At most, 1.5 million, there is no more!" A certain immortal chose to take the hammer directly. There were only 1.5 million copies. Do you want it? If you don't want it, I will sell it to the Allies at a price of ten times. The American wallet is very bulging!
After some bargaining, Akimovich was forced to accept the proposal of a certain immortal. However, he also solemnly warned a certain immortal: "That kind of damn cold virus can work best! Otherwise, it will greatly damage our friendship and cooperation!"
It can be seen that Akimovich was misunderstood. The Spanish cold virus was really not created by a certain immortal. In fact, the first wave of this virus broke out in the spring of 1918, but its influence was not particularly great, it was just an ordinary flu epidemic. It did not cause that unforgettable killing.
Historically, the Spanish flu really had its power in the fall of 1918, sweeping across Europe, and it was really corpses everywhere. A certain immortal was waiting for the Spanish flu to break out so that Umbrella could make a big profit, but there was no movement until August. In desperation, he, the immortal, had to do it himself.
After October, the Spanish flu, which had not been very disturbed, suddenly emerged. A certain immortal could clearly detect the rapid spread of the virus. Although it has not caused much damage yet, the trend is quite scary!
Li Xiaofeng was originally thinking about how to warn the Allies and the Allies, and how to promote the Spanish flu special medicine that he spent a lot of immortal power to exchange for from the treasure pot. Who would have thought that the Germans would cooperate like this and come to ask for cooperation. This was an unexpected surprise for him, as easy as picking up a head.
A certain immortal was relaxed, but the Germans were confused. This result was not what they wanted. Not to mention how powerful the so-called influenza virus is. Just simply calculating the economic accounts is equivalent to being cut by a certain immortal again. I really can't stand it!
"If the so-called influenza virus cannot achieve the effect that satisfies us, the Russians must be severely punished! Let them pay the price!"
The Germans immediately reached such a consensus, but soon they discovered that there seemed to be no need for this. The Spanish flu is much scarier than they imagined. The lethality is simply beyond imagination! It is really unbearable!
Within a week, on the European continent, whether it is Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, whether it is the British Isles or Western Europe, they were so troubled by the cold virus that they were dying of ecstasy. Sneezing sounds could be heard everywhere, and the hospitals were crowded. According to preliminary statistics alone, more than 40% of residents in Europe were infected with the virus, and the mortality rate was about 2%.
Especially for young and middle-aged people aged 20 to 35, the cold virus seems to be targeting this age group. A considerable number of people are normal to wake up in the morning, get sick at noon, and have an attack in the evening, and die in the evening.
The super lethality shocked the Germans' eyes to pieces. Even if they were ready to deal with it in advance, they closed all public places such as schools, cinemas, bars, etc., and minimized the transmission of influenza as much as possible. However, in just three days, more than 2 million people were still attacked by the flu.
“We need more special medicines!”
This is the unanimous call from the frontline troops. I have to say that the special medicine developed by Umbrera is really useful. Even if a severe patient continues to have one dose of the medicine, he will be discharged from the hospital the next day. Unless he is a terminally ill person, he needs a second dose of the medicine.
At this time, the Germans regretted it. They should have persisted before, at least they had to get more special medicines. The 1.5 million copies given by Umbrella were all consumed in less than a week, while the Spanish flu became more and more popular. As the infected population grew, the mortality rate began to become higher and higher. In some areas, it even exceeded 15%.
The order was like snowflakes flying towards Umbrella, and this time Victoria did not have to worry about its production capacity. The special medicine for treating Spanish flu is quite convenient for production, and only two raw materials are needed - distilled water and Bupleurum.
Of course, the Bupleurum grass here is not the kind of Chinese medicine that is a rampant in the general sense, but the Xian Bupleurum that a certain immortal exchanged from the treasure pot. Its efficacy is very different from that of ordinary Bupleurum. A piece of medicine made of Xian Bupleurum grass is enough to produce 10,000 special medicines. In short, it is really a huge profit!
This time, a certain immortal was too lazy to play tricks on the recipe, so he wrote the name of Chaihu directly. The honest German immediately copied it, but the painted ladle was so inconsistent. The effect of ordinary Chaihu was very average. It had almost no effect. In desperation, he could only purchase it from Umbrella Company at a high price again.
A certain immortal did not make things difficult for the Germans. He knew that the Germans could not provide much cash for the time being, and if they forced them to death, it would be unfavorable to him in the end. So a certain immortal played a small trick. According to the provisions of the Brest contract, Russia had to pay war reparations from 1919. This money was not a small amount, and it was really a fatal death for the Bolsheviks who were financially struggling and busy fighting the civil war.
At this time, a fairy from Guang Weizheng made a brilliant appearance. After he threaded a needle and reached a trilateral agreement, Russia's first war compensation was paid by the Northern Trading Company, which means that the compensation was offset by the Umbrella company's special medicine. The money was converted into a loan from the Northern Trading Company to the Russian government, with an annual interest of 5 cents and a ten-year repaid.
To be honest, this interest was just like a waste of money back then. The loans given to Russia by the British and French were not usury with an annual interest of more than 15 cents, and some even had the debt of the King of Hell that was nine out of thirteen. Of course, after the Bolsheviks came to power, they directly relied on this account. This was also the most annoying thing that made the Allies Group back then.
A certain immortal turned his left hand to his right hand, but he wasted some immortal power, but he gained the dual gratitude of the German and Austrian governments and the Bolsheviks. The deal was quite cost-effective. Especially when he accidentally learned that the mentor praised him hard in private, this guy was so happy that he walked and drifted.
Lenin was indeed quite happy. The country was full of bad luck, and he was hungry and fed everywhere. The amount of funds he had been able to get was spent before he could get it. He was still worried that he would have to pay the first war compensation in January 1919. Where did this money come from!
Originally, the tutor was going to give his old face and beg the Germans for a few days to beg for grace. Who would have thought that a certain immortal would solve the burden for him in the blink of an eye? Do you think he could be unhappy?
At the Politburo meeting, Lenin praised a certain immortal: "Although Comrade Andrei has many minor problems and minor problems, he has always stood with the central government on principle issues. Whenever the central government encounters problems that cannot be solved, he can always creatively find solutions. We must focus on cultivating good comrades like this!"
Focusing on cultivating four words seems simple, but the political significance is quite unusual. Although it has been basically clear that the eight immortals can join the Central Committee. But when it is really time to hold a conference, who dares to promise that they will join?
With Lenin’s conclusion at the Politburo meeting, the significance is completely different. This is equivalent to the mentor’s announcement that Li Xiaofeng must join the Central Committee next time, and must be at least an alternate central committee. If a comrade who needs to be trained in a key way can’t even join the Central Committee, he will still be the only thing to do is focus on training!
Xiao Si naturally had no objection to this and immediately echoed: "I agree that at present, we should not only care about the overall situation of the revolution, but also be prepared to cultivate revolutionary successors... I suggest that Comrade Andre go to the Central Party School for a period of time!"
Now that the Central Party School has just opened, as the first group of students of the Party School, they must be the most valued and have the best prospects. Xiao Si wanted to stuff a certain immortal in it, and his intention was quite obvious.
Trotsky was naturally not very happy. First of all, he didn't deal with a certain immortal, and he was beaten by someone just now. Now he was really unhappy to watch someone rise up. But Xiao Si and Lenin both spoke, and it seemed that it was not good to push him.
Lao Tuo could only say sourly: "Comrade Andrei has a lot of work and is also busy. It seems inappropriate to ask him to put down his work and go to the Central Party School to study... And I think Comrade Andrei's theoretical level is enough, and short-term training does not mean much to him!"
Trotsky's meaning is very obvious. He can't stop someone from entering the Central Committee, but he must stop someone from studying in the Central Party School. Some comrades will say, "I'm not asking you to waste your money and lose your money?" What is a mere Central Party School? To put it bluntly, it's a gilding. You can't even stop someone from entering the Central Committee. What's the point of stopping someone from gilding?
Is it meaningless? Hehe, it definitely makes sense. The Central Party School does not learn much in the short-term study, but going there is not about learning. Instead, it is about expanding the social scene. To put it bluntly, it is a place for outstanding young party members to understand each other and enhance revolutionary friendship. After coming out, like-minded people can come together, and this group of people is equivalent to forming cliques.
What Li Xiaofeng lacks most now is that there are too few friends around him and he has been fighting alone. If he is allowed to develop a group of friends at the Central Party School, Trotsky would not have a headache!
This is one of them. Secondly, the first batch of students from the Central Party School are actually of considerable political significance. If they are on the first batch of lists, it is equivalent to labeling the central government attaches great importance to training. Otherwise, even if someone joins the Central Committee and does not put this label on it, in the eyes of other bigwigs in the party, someone joins the Central Committee is just a lucky chance, and it is just a tutor who pitys him.
If you join the Central Committee and put this label on it, it is quite awesome, which is equivalent to the key training in key training. For a big boss on the mountain, such a political star must be highly regarded and taken seriously. It is better not to offend or not to offend!
It can be said that if you don’t enter the Central Party School, you will have considerable influence when you go. Trotsky is trying to hold on to this point, just to drag someone down and weaken someone’s sense of existence within the party.
But can he achieve this goal?
Surely not, because he is in the Politburo and in the Central Committee, he is an absolute minority. The mentor can crush him with his right-hand man and strong arms.
"Although Comrade Andre's work is important, learning and improvement are equally important. Especially young comrades like him must study hard. Only by laying a solid foundation can he build a building in the future! Let him temporarily put down his work and study hard at the Central Party School!"
Lenin made the final decision. Even if Trotsky was dissatisfied, what could he do? The only one with the big fist is the master, and his fist is obviously not as big as Lenin! So he can only be a grandson.
In fact, a certain immortal didn't want to study at the Central Party School. He felt that he was a big figure, and he had to attend cram school. He was really annoying. Especially the courses offered by the Central Party School were all the most annoying theoretical and philosophical things he annoyed. But Xiao Si called him specifically and asked him to perform well at the Central Party School, and said that the tutor was looking forward to it.
This is a death--Li Xiaofeng could only reluctantly say goodbye to Vyborg, bid farewell to the life of the local emperor who was far away from heaven, and headed to Moscow.
Moscow is already quite cold in November, especially in the relatively empty places like Red Square, the wind is even more cold. Passing through the Mining and Pozarsky monuments, walking into the Kremlin, the Central Party School temporarily places the school place here.
The number of students is not too many. After all, they are the first batch of students. They take the elite route and are said to be young students. However, most of the students are over 30 years old, and there are even 40-year-old uncles in there to charge.
A fairy who is as tender as a fairy is simply unique. The second youngest is Mi Gaoyang, who has an old grudge against a fairy. This guy is five years older than a fairy. Moreover, the training of grassroots revolutionary work makes this guy look very mature, and people believe him when he is forty.
Not only is the age of the students making Li Xiaofeng awkward, but what makes him even more awkward is that the positions held by this group of classmates are only considered to be at the grassroots level. Some of them are even considered his subordinates, such as the "youth" students sent by Cheka.
As the youngest and highest-ranking person in the class, Li Xiaofeng naturally received more attention. The inhumane onlookers by a group of "uncles" made Li Xiaofeng feel really awkward, and he felt that this time he came to Moscow was tortured.
Lenin personally made a speech at the Party School and encouraged the young party members. For others, the encouragement of the mentor made them full of energy, while for Li Xiaofeng, he was drowsy.
After Lenin finished speaking, Lunacharsky, the president of the Party School, continued to speak. This orator, who was very passionate about education, painted a beautiful blueprint for the students, with great sensational ability. Our poor protagonist was directly hypnotized, tilted on Migaoyang's shoulder next to him, and his saliva wet Migaoyang's front.
At that time, Migoyang was very distressed. He didn't know whether to wake up a certain immortal or report it to the principal directly. In fact, Lunacharsky also saw a certain immortal sleeping soundly, but he didn't know what to say. Lenin and Xiaosi had taken special care of him before and wanted to tolerate someone's temper. In Xiaosi's words, it was: Comrade Andre's personality is indeed not very good, but it was all for the sake of revolution!
So Lunacharsky, who was standing on the stage, could only grit his teeth and said secretly: "I will bear it, bear it! Hold it up!"
