The three officers from the General Armaments Department of the entire army wore expressions that conveyed a sense of ease and satisfaction beneath their stern demeanor. A subtle smile played at the corners of their mouths.
Correspondingly, Lin Yao's brows remained tightly furrowed, as did those of two other people: General Xia and Major General Gao Lianda from the General Staff Department.
The current acute human influenza outbreak has been raised to the orange alert level. Although the direct fatality rate is very low, or there have been no reports of anyone dying from this influenza virus, unlike previous flu outbreaks, this virus severely affects the normal physiological activities of the human body. All infected individuals have lost their ability to work during the illness. Therefore, this outbreak has been rapidly elevated to a level of close attention by governments around the world.
An army that has lost its normal operational capabilities is an army without combat effectiveness. Therefore, the prevention and treatment drugs for this flu were assigned to the General Armaments Department of the entire army. The General Armaments Department officers, whose highest rank is major general and whose lowest rank is lieutenant colonel, were tasked with obtaining the support of Minhong Pharmaceutical. They came with a mission.
Lin Yao was very cooperative, agreeing immediately without much preamble to provide the General Armaments Department with six million doses of "anti-toxic granules." The price was also negotiated at the Tier 3 member rate of seven yuan per box, totaling 42 million yuan. This saved over 1 billion yuan compared to the so-called loss-making support price of 180 yuan from "Nine People Pharmaceuticals." No wonder the three officers in charge of the negotiations couldn't contain their joy; even their eyebrows radiated smiles.
The General Armaments Department saved money and obtained drugs that could not only treat but also prevent disease, thus saving them trouble. However, this did not elevate Minhong's status in the military to an indispensable level, because the situation remained severe. A large group of "pro-Jiuren" officers used the fact that Minhong's finished drug was five days behind "Jiuren Pharmaceutical" to express their stance. Although the online and some traditional media had already classified "Jiuren Pharmaceutical" as an untrustworthy company, and although the public was more willing to support and trust local and national enterprises, it still could not change their perception.
Soldiers can be stubborn at times, which can be frustrating. They now also believe in data, and of course, timeliness is one of the most important indicators for the military, which is disadvantageous to Minhong.
Several cautious generals in the General Staff have gradually come to believe in Lin Yao and Minhong Pharmaceutical, because the continuous stream of experimental data on "poisonous people" shows that the action of inoculating genetic drugs is fraught with great danger. The crisis described in Lin Yao's previous report was not unfounded. Research based on a large number of expert and scholar experiments shows that if the military does not take precautions, it may suffer unbearable consequences in the future.
The General Staff has assigned four virologists and bioweapons experts to participate in the research. The identities and loyalty of these four scientists are beyond question, so their reports have attracted even more attention from the general in charge of the secret operation. All the people participating in the secret experiments on Lin Yao's side are genuine experts and scholars, without any self-proclaimed "experts" or "professors." Both the experimental data and the predicted conclusions have made the general in charge of this secret work tremble with fear. Therefore, his contact with General Xia has become closer, allowing the old man to obtain important information as soon as possible.
Lin Yao's frown now stems from this kind of timely information delivery service.
The military decided to expedite the vote on the decision to administer gene therapy to the entire army. This decision was prompted by the complex international situation.
Iraq places great importance on gene therapy inoculation, not only selecting large numbers of young and middle-aged men in the country forcibly inoculating them, but also spending huge sums of money to hire foreign mercenaries, who are also given the same treatment as the gene therapy inoculation.
Some people paid to find young and middle-aged men, and the Allison Human Potential Research Center readily cooperated, giving tiny Iraq a total of 150,000 "super gene warriors." This number left Lin Yao speechless, because in his mind, the more "poisonous people" there were, the more difficult the challenges he and Xiaocao would face, and the greater the danger of "Morning Mist" making a comeback in the future.
The irreparable damage to one's original essence will no longer be a significant challenge in the face of the overwhelmingly large number of "Poisonous People." Although Lin Yao is unclear about the exact number of "Poisonous People" currently in the international community, and Xiao Cao is unsure how "Morning Mist" utilizes "Poisonous People" to restore its own cultivation, or the efficiency of this utilization, it is foreseeable that as long as the number of "Poisonous People" remains large enough, "Morning Mist" may become invincible in the future. The entire world will succumb to its tyranny, and perhaps in the future, the Earth will only be covered by dense mycelium. Only a few life forms will be spared by "Morning Mist."
"Mr. Lin, I will go back and draft the agreement immediately, and it can be signed this afternoon."
The major general from the General Armaments Department in charge of the negotiations stood up with a beaming smile to shake hands with Lin Yao. "The 42 million yuan payment will be transferred to Minhong Pharmaceutical's account immediately. When can you deliver the goods? I hope it won't be the fifteen days we just mentioned. The sooner the delivery time, the better. The national defense industry needs your support."
Lin Yao shook hands with the major general with little interest, his tone devoid of any joy. "We will deliver the goods as soon as possible. National defense is a major issue. Send someone to Minhong to pick up the goods this afternoon. However, the specific quantity can only be determined according to the plan. We hope the military can understand. We have no choice but to supply the goods in batches."
Supporting the military should be a priority, but the supply of "anti-toxic granules" for civilians must not be cut off. This is because attacking the reputation of "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" in conjunction with the propaganda campaign is also a national priority. Although this important matter is being handled independently by Minhong, a private company, it is of great significance to the safety of the people of the whole country. At this time, there is no convincing data and evidence to convince the decision-makers above to accept it, so Lin Yao had no choice but to resort to this tactic. It can also be seen as leaving a foreshadowing for a possible sudden crisis in the future. When the two sharp voices are raised, perhaps more than half of the people will choose to trust Minhong.
Thank you for your support!
The major general's voice was strong and clear as he shook Lin Yao's hand vigorously. "Minhong Pharmaceuticals has many valuable drugs. Shall we explore cooperation opportunities in more depth?"
“Let’s talk again when we have time.” Lin Yao glanced at the enthusiastic major general. “I’m sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to today. We’ll have to reschedule for the rest of the meeting. I can’t invite you to dinner today, but I apologize for that another day.”
Lin Yao responded to the major general's request in a civilian manner, sending a very clear signal: let's not talk about anything else, you should leave now.
Lin Yao's lack of enthusiasm did not affect the major general's high spirits. Saving 1 billion yuan in military expenditure was already a great achievement. In peacetime, it is too difficult to make meritorious contributions. Such an achievement of saving a huge amount of military expenditure is certainly a great achievement. It has increased his chances of being promoted to lieutenant general in the future. Even if he is not promoted, it is still a great achievement in terms of promotion.
The decisive and straightforward military style made the negotiators leave without lingering. They left along with several officers from the General Staff who accompanied them. However, Major General Gao Lianda's face was quite gloomy when he left. He was worried about the country's army. Although there was still no conclusive evidence of the truth, he personally believed Lin Yao's statement and was very nervous about the decision to mass-produce "poisonous people".
"Sir, the meal is ready, please..."
Yi Zuojun appeared beside Lin Yao as soon as the military representative left. Sensing the oppressive atmosphere, he even spoke much softer.
"Eat my ass! I'm not eating anymore!"
General Xia waved his hand, his eyebrows shot up, and his voice was so loud that it startled the sparrows frolicking in the early autumn sunlight in the backyard woods, causing them to flutter away. "Meeting adjourned at noon. We'll continue voting this afternoon. We're going to Old Xiao's house right away. This time, we must make him veto that resolution no matter what. If he doesn't agree, I'll pull out my gun and die in front of him!"
Not to mention that General Xia's sidearm had long been under control, the sheer force and determination in him left Yi Zuojun speechless. He was relatively well-informed about the "poison man" incident, and after a few words from General Xia, Yi Zuojun immediately understood the gravity of the situation. He stopped mentioning food and dashed towards the garage, demonstrating his support through his actions. He wanted to be Lin Yao's chauffeur.
"Zuo Jun, you don't need to go. I'll drive myself. Just Grandpa and I will go. It's inconvenient if there are too many people."
Lin Yao pulled Yi Zuojun's arm and pulled him down from the driver's seat. He also had Xiao Cao inject fifty drops of level-four nuclear power into Yi Zuojun's body. Level-four nuclear power is very important now. It can only be used to its maximum effect when it is equipped to the right person. The grim situation made it impossible for Lin Yao to be stingy with the list of resources. Rather than spreading resources everywhere, it is better to focus on cultivating high-end martial artists.
The Hongqi HQ300, specially arranged by General Xia to reward his good son-in-law, sped through the streets of the capital. At several intersections, Lin Yao even ran red lights, allowing Xiao Cao to control the speed and direction of several cars, narrowly weaving through traffic and attracting the attention of the capital's traffic police.
Relying on Xiaocao's incredible abilities, Lin Yao left the traffic police's cars and motorcycles behind and arrived at the Beijing Military Region compound at top speed. Time is life, and this was absolutely true in this matter. The equally nervous General Xia cursed and scolded Major General Gao Lianda all the way, saying that he should have conveyed the urgent information as soon as they met, instead of waiting until the negotiations were over before deliberately chatting with General Xia to tell him about it. At least that would have given him and Lin Yao more time to react.
...
"Zuo Jun, where is the master? Quickly bring him out, something has happened to Lili."
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Elder Yi Potian immediately roared at Yi Zuojun, who had been led over, startling Yi Zuojun, who was worried about Lin Yao's gains on this trip.
Just like when they left, Xia Yuwen was driving the car. However, through the windshield, Yi Zuojun could see Xiao Guli sitting in the passenger seat, cowering in Dika's arms. With his sharp eyesight and hearing, Yi Zuojun could also see that Xiao Guli was trembling all over, repeatedly muttering, "Don't hit me, I don't have a mother..."
Following closely behind his car was a Mercedes-Benz, driven by an unfamiliar man, with a woman in the passenger seat who looked terrified and somewhat dazed, which puzzled Yi Zuojun.
"Hurry up! What are you standing there for? Get the master out here!"
