Chapter 282 Selection of the First Principal

Huang He has never been a person who speaks without thinking. Since he dared to pat his chest and promise to Dean Liu, he naturally has his own confidence.

As we all know, the Awakening the Brave Tiger system contains all the resources needed by the troops during the war.

It not only includes the equipment and corresponding technology required by the army, navy and air force, but also has everything for scientific research, construction, production, medical care and logistics.

It is precisely because Huang He perfectly combines his knowledge with the system that the hard power of the Eighth Route Army has undergone earth-shaking changes in just two years.

After making a decision, he quietly opened the system in his mind.

"Field Hospital Type 1: Casualties should not completely refer to martyrs. The first step to ensure this view is to organize a lean, lightly equipped, and highly mobile hospital that is suitable for field rescue work, and provide first aid to the wounded and sick who retreat to the rear.

Research time required: 70 days.

Effect: Civilian factories in the system can produce small and medium-sized medical equipment and obtain corresponding production lines and drawings."

Hearing Huang He's affirmative answer, Dean Liu widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the strength of his comrades, after all, the other party always takes out some incredible good things intermittently.

Mainly because medical equipment is too precious at this stage, and has been listed as key protected materials by the enemy and "friendly forces".

Both the enemy-occupied areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas are strictly guarding, and it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to open up new resource channels.

Unless the purchaser of the logistics department is lucky and happens to meet the Japanese troops from the Osaka Division who want to do business, it is difficult to bring even a set of surgical equipment back to the base.

"Great! I knew you had a way! You are worthy of being the most valued person by the bosses!"

"You don't know that there are still a batch of old antiques in the equipment used in the headquarters hospital, and these are imported from the border at a high price."

"At that time, the purchasing staff of our logistics department were heartbroken and said they had never done such a loss-making business."

"Hong Kong Island is not peaceful now. I heard that the United Bank is preparing for the transfer work recently. The previous transfer route is getting worse day by day. I am almost going bald during this period. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do."

The United Bank mentioned by Dean Liu is of great origin. The founder of the guild is definitely one of the most business-minded people in the border area.

As early as ten years ago, the other party used two gold bars as capital and went to Shanghai alone to open several different types of stores, providing a lot of economic support for the Soviet area.

At the same time, the above-mentioned stores have also become important nodes of our army's underground transportation stations.

Hidden in the city, the Special Operations Department relied on stores as cover to complete countless secret tasks such as transmitting intelligence, transferring important documents, and escorting comrades and wounded soldiers.

When the brigade commander was in Shanghai to treat his leg injury, he was arranged by the organization to live in the founder's home.

After the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, the border area once again faced huge economic pressure.

There was no way. After all, all the valuable things had been lost in the process of climbing the snow-capped mountains and crossing the grasslands. When crossing the Yellow River to the east, the mortars of the entire army were not as many as the current 772nd Regiment.

At that time, most coastal areas had fallen, and the only city that was relatively stable and could still raise funds was Hong Kong Island.

In order to continue to provide economic support to the border area, the founder resolutely took on the task issued by the organization.

With his outstanding business ability, he established Lianhe Bank with extensive business in just a few months.

In this process, the company used commercial trade as a cover to find ways to send a large amount of military supplies and medicines such as X-ray machines, high-power radios, generators, etc. that were collected or purchased to the border area.

According to statistics, in just three years, the other party transported 1.2 million tons of medical supplies and provided $1 million in financial support.

For the troops still in the development stage, it is definitely a timely help.

It is worth mentioning that the founder also has a brother who once made a mistake; Lianhe Bank was also reorganized and renamed China Resources Company ten years after its establishment.

After hearing what Dean Liu said, Huang He secretly sighed in his heart and patted the other party on the shoulder to comfort him.

It is a pity to lose a stable material channel, but the production capacity of major pharmaceutical factories will only increase in the future, which will definitely make up for the gap of Lianhehui.

New scientific research projects can provide a large number of medical equipment, and the manufacturing speed of migrant workers' factories in the system is no joke.

It's still the old saying, the future is promising!

After talking about business, Huang He did not plan to stay for long, he also had an appointment with the infantry expert today. The other party's body needs rest, so go early and try not to delay his rest time.

What's more, Dean Liu has just said that his various signs and indicators are very healthy, so there is no need to wait for the test results in the consultation room.

"Old Liu, I'll go first."

"Okay!"

······

Forty-five minutes later, Huang He and Li Yunlong finished their physical examinations, and they went straight to the headquarters with ease.

"Director Huang! Commander Li!"

"The deputy commander-in-chief has ordered you to go directly to the Meishan Conference Room."

Both of them are now well-known figures in the Eighth Route Army. The former has developed many new weapons to escort the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front line.

The latter is the commander of the only parachute unit in the entire army, and is a tough guy with fame, strength and achievements.

In the entire Taiyuan area, there is almost no one who doesn't know them.

Although they didn’t know the specific content of the meeting, the order was given personally by the deputy commander-in-chief. They had no reason to refuse and had to go.

When Huang and Li entered the Meishan conference room, the deputy general staff officer was speaking on the stage.

"First of all, I want to announce some good news. Through the efforts of major hospitals and doctors, the mortality rate of sick and wounded soldiers in the army has now been controlled to less than 2%."

"In the days to come, this number will only get lower and lower! Thank you comrades for your contribution to the army."

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room burst into thunderous applause.

Huang He and Li Yunlong also applauded and sat at the table with the division commander, infantry expert and brigade commander.

As a time traveler from later generations, he is familiar with various data from the World War II period and naturally knows the gold content below 2%.

The casualty mortality rate of European military powers is generally around 1.5%. It is absolutely incredible that the Eighth Route Army could achieve such impressive results in 1941.

You must know that the casualty mortality rate of preserved fruits has remained at around 15% during the same period, which is even far higher than the 12.4% in World War I.

The applause gradually stopped. The deputy general staff officer looked at the data report in his hand, then looked at Huang He with a smile and continued:

"In addition to thanking the medical staff for their huge contribution, we also want to thank Director Huang for his silent contribution to the Eighth Route Army's logistics. After all, good food is indispensable for recovery."

After speaking, Huang He, who was sitting in the second row, instantly became the focus of the audience.

Everyone present was either a commander at the brigade level or above, or a leader in a major hospital. Of course they knew what the deputy general staff officer said Director Huang had done.

At this stage, the food standard for wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army is absolutely luxurious. Not only are they provided with sufficient grains, eggs and meat, but they can even drink milk several times a week.

Due to excessive protein intake, every wounded person who enters the hospital may even gain a few pounds when discharged. This is all due to the efforts of Huang He and the comrades of the Logistics Department.

Amidst the warm applause, Huang He stood up from his seat and bowed several times to express his gratitude to the audience.

The deputy general staff officer controlled the meeting perfectly and continued to promote the entire meeting at the right time.

"I called you all here today to discuss the teaching resources in Shanxi."

"According to the instructions issued by the border area, we need to integrate and reorganize the three schools of Medical College in Southeast Shanxi, Sichuan Medical College, and Department of Medicine of Kangda University to build a university that belongs to our Eighth Route Army and has strong teaching resources."

"Everyone can speak freely about the school's name and development prospects, and don't be stingy with your opinions and ideas."

The original plan for the border area was more ambitious, and it was to restart all schools in Shanxi. After all, no matter how poor we are, we cannot lack education. Students are the pillars of the country's future.

However, the original Shanxi University, Shanxi National Normal School, Taiyuan Normal School, Taiyuan Women's Normal School and Sichuan Zhi Medical College have been closed for a long time.

The students either defected to the anti-Japanese army or followed Yan Laoxi to move to southern Shanxi.

Based on the current teaching resources of the Eighth Route Army, it is almost impossible to restart the above-mentioned schools in a short time.

After discussions between the border area and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the big bosses unanimously decided to do the next best thing and based on the actual situation, first establish a medical university to provide medical talents for the army.

After all, the troops have now successfully regained Shanxi and have a stable rear area. The benefits of supporting the development of medical schools and affiliated hospitals are obvious to all, and there is no reason not to further promote their construction.

Before the Hundred Regiments War, the Eighth Route Army's wings were not yet full.

The enemy and ourselves are at odds with each other, and troops at all levels need to maintain a state of mobile warfare for a long time.

Take the southeastern Shanxi base area as an example. At that time, both the main regiment and the basic regiment were operating in the cracks of the enemy. Basically there is no safe and stable station, and you have to move at any time according to the orders of your superiors.

In order to ensure the mobility of the troops, all soldiers had to go into battle in simple clothing, and there was no condition to gather a large number of wounded soldiers.

At that time, only a small number of doctors stayed in the headquarters hospital or followed field hospitals at the division and brigade levels. The vast majority can only hide among the common people. Considering security issues, comrades have to move their homes frequently.

Under such complex conditions, medical comrades have almost no space and opportunities to communicate and learn from each other.

In a sense, the improvement of personal medical skills is not much different from practicing behind closed doors. It all depends on one's own understanding and learning ability.

Once there is a medical school for everyone to study and communicate, there will definitely be new breakthroughs in the level of military doctors and medical students at all levels. This is definitely a good thing that will benefit the future.

After hearing the words of the deputy general staff, a professor from Shanxi Southeast Medical College immediately stood up and said:

"How about we call it Shanxi Medical College. This name sounds more orthodox. In this way, we can subtly attract students and professors living in various parts of the province."

"As long as we can gain a firm foothold in the education sector, Yan Laoxi's remaining influence will one day be eliminated."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded, and even the deputy commander seemed quite moved.

Huang He originally agreed with the name Shanxi Medical College, but he suddenly thought of something. The unfairness of educational resources began as early as the Republic of China.

A large number of colleges and universities have been established in coastal provinces and municipalities, but the teaching resources in the interior are much poorer.

In the next few decades, the magnificent land of Yanzhao, the land of Shanxi, the hinterland of Kyushu, and the land of Qilu will become a worker-peasant alliance of iron forging, coal mining, grain planting, and vegetable selling in people's mouths.

The endless fields of the hometown have become a mountain that children cannot cross in their lifetime. If we don't make changes now, we will encounter all kinds of resistance in the future.

After making up his mind, Huang He stood up from his seat and expressed his opinion under the surprised eyes of Li Yunlong and the brigade commander:

"Everyone, let's open up the pattern."

"The troops will inevitably send troops to recover the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Henan in the future, so why don't we name a university with the names of the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan now."

"A unique name can not only increase our support and influence in the four provinces, but also express our confidence and determination of the Eighth Route Army to recover the lost land."

After speaking, everyone present fell into an active discussion.

Huang He's views have obviously risen to a higher level, no longer confining his sights to one province.

This is obviously more in line with the original ideas of the bosses, and it is also of great benefit to the local people.

As the person who knows Huang He best, the deputy chief of staff knows that he never does anything without preparation. He touched his chin and had a bold idea in mind.

"Huang He, since you can put forward your ideas at this time, you must have planned the future of the school long ago."

"For example, the school name, school emblem, school address, school motto and the first principal must be well thought out. Come on, come up and tell everyone about your arrangements."

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Huang He walked up to the podium and drew the school emblem in his mind.

"Since it is a university in the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, let's call it Heshan University. The east and the west gather together to form a mountain, and the north and the south converge to form a river. Universal love is called greatness, and extensive learning is called learning. The mountains and rivers are safe, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

"What I just drew is a sketch of the school emblem, and the specific details need to be modified later. As for the school site, build a new teaching building outside Taiyuan City."

"I have two candidates for the first president, the deputy commander of the 129th Division and Liu who is about to return to China."

After hearing the eight characters of "The mountains and rivers are safe, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe", the audience burst into warm applause.

No one expected that Huang He was so well prepared and really arranged everything.

Suddenly, when he heard his name, the infantry expert widened his eyes. He never expected that he was recommended by Huang He as the president of a university when he was just attending an ordinary meeting.

"Okay, if there are no other proposals, let's start voting."

"See whether there are more comrades who support Heshan University or Shanxi Medical College."

Here it comes
