Chapter 734 The War Resumes
At midnight, on the top floor of Chenghuang headquarters.
Song He sat in front of the computer and typed away. There were pieces of candidate information on the computer.
There will be graduate student interviews next week, and the students who have passed the interview are frantically sending emails to get close to each other. Song He silently reviews the information of all the interview students, and has a rough judgment in his mind whether they are talents or idiots.
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated. It was Wei Liqun’s call!
Song He raised his eyebrows slightly. Calls at three o'clock in the middle of the night were rare, so he quickly answered the call, "What's the matter?"
"Big overseas orders, several warlords in North Africa want to buy artificial blood." Wei Liqun said in a strange tone, "If the price is right, they would like to ask for one million liters of blood first, but the delivery must be kept confidential and it must arrive within two weeks. Follow-up information Additional orders may occur."
Song He was startled for a moment, and suddenly his scalp became numb, "What the hell, why is it that the warlord wants artificial blood? Doesn't the hospital want artificial blood?"
"Yes!" Wei Liqun's tone was more serious than ever before, "I'm afraid the war will resume in the local area, and millions of liters of blood are urgently needed. I'm afraid it will be used on the battlefield."
"Report, report, report this situation!" Song He said decisively, "The procedures for artificial blood have not been approved yet. We cannot sell it directly. We need special approval from our superiors. If there is a war in North Africa and the issue of evacuation of overseas Chinese is involved, we It is the responsibility to inform the superiors."
"I understand, I'll report it right away!" Wei Liqun hurriedly hung up the phone.
Song He looked stunned and quickly checked the news about North Africa online.
He had the impression that North Africa had been at peace for many years, so how could it suddenly turn into chaos?
Five liters of artificial blood is enough to do a whole-body blood transfusion for a strong man. One million liters of artificial blood is enough for 200,000 people. Preparations on this scale are simply terrifying!
After checking the news for a long time, it was eerily quiet. The North African countries were all calm, and there was even very little news.
Song He accidentally searched for a few past news. Many North African warlords also wanted to do good things. Several of them funded the construction of large hospitals and claimed to improve the medical level in their jurisdictions, prevent infectious diseases such as Ebola, and strive to Raising the average life expectancy to over forty-five and so on.
Maybe not for war? Maybe the warlords prepared it for hospital patients?
The sky was getting brighter, Song He tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart and continued to screen the students' resumes, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling and his heart pounded.
"Bang!" The office door was pushed open violently.
Lou Jinghui came in sweating profusely, locked the office door, and placed a large bag of documents in front of Song He.
When he saw the logo on the document bag, Song He's blood pressure immediately shot up and his face changed drastically!
"There is indeed going to be a war in North Africa! Several big warlords are not only buying blood, they are also buying food, ammunition, diesel and gasoline. The international community has been alarmed. Countries are preparing to evacuate their nationals. It is expected that news will come out in the evening!" Lou Jinghui spoke quickly.
Song He was stunned, the hair on his back stood up, his guess was confirmed?
On the eve of the war, his company received an order for blood. The feeling was indescribable.
"The superiors have approved that artificial blood can be sold, but the quality must be guaranteed, because once the war breaks out there will definitely be a large number of civilian casualties. If local civilians die on a large scale if they receive our artificial blood, the consequences..." Lou Jinghui looked serious.
"I understand!" Song He interrupted him, "Currently, we have only done two experiments in which 90% of the whole body was replaced with artificial blood, and there are no problems for the time being. There are also more than 400 volunteers who replaced 30% to 40% of artificial blood. There are no adverse reactions.”
"The quality should be guaranteed, but the production capacity is a bit tight. Some factory equipment is still undergoing final debugging. I will send a few reliable executives to keep an eye on it, and we should be able to catch up!" Lou Jinghui looked excited, "Then let's sell it?"
"Sell!" Song He said decisively, "We can't stop the war, but we can at least sell some blood to reduce deaths."
Song He signed a paper order, and Chenghuang's artificial blood factory started ahead of schedule, frantically producing artificial blood day and night.
The incident was so sudden that his mind was confused and it felt unreal, like a big dream.
But in the next few days, the news direction became clearer and clearer!
At first, the embassies of various countries reminded their citizens living in North Africa to pay attention to safety. Just two days later, the situation suddenly changed. Some countries suddenly announced the evacuation of their citizens. International organizations warned that a humanitarian crisis may occur. Major airlines’ air ticket prices leaving North Africa skyrocketing.
The Internet is relatively calm, and many netizens don't really believe that there will be a war. Even some netizens who travel to the local area say that everything is peaceful. This kind of tension is only temporary. It has happened many times before, and in the end it was a false alarm.
The changes in the news completely woke Song He up. The unreal feeling of being suddenly involved in a major historical event disappeared. He temporarily put aside other work and went to personally monitor the production of artificial blood and check the quality of each batch.
Customers sent people to rush for goods many times, and Song He also tried his best to expand production capacity. He finally shipped out the first batch of 200,000 liters of artificial blood within a week, and flew it over overnight. When the plane returned, he brought back the gold paid by the customer.
Customers requested goods at very precise times. The first batch of artificial blood had just been delivered when the war broke out!
Song He was lying in bed and fast asleep in the middle of the night, and was awakened by the continuous vibration of his cell phone.
"The Ivia Liberation Front attacks the North African city of Dakar!" 》
"The Elijah army declared war on the rebels and fired a large number of rockets! 》
"Night Attack!" Fierce gun battles on the streets of Adaar left hundreds dead and injured! 》
"12 North African airports were closed due to suspected gunfire! 》
"The largest port in North Africa was attacked by rockets, and many cargo ships left the port to take refuge!" 》
"Damn it." Song He cursed in a low voice, unable to describe his feelings.
News flashed wildly. It was just a small-scale battle at first, but soon there was a battle involving tens of thousands of troops. The situation blossomed in all directions and spread across the North African continent at a terrifying speed.
The media was obviously caught off guard. The coverage was very confusing, and it took a day to sort out the general situation.
The intensity of the war shocked the world. Warlords from many countries in North Africa dispatched a total of more than 200,000 troops. Each troop declared the enemy to be rebels and terrorists, and then launched fierce attacks on capitals and key cities of many countries!
Song He contacted the army to find out the real reason for the sudden outbreak of the North African War. After hearing it, it was the same as not hearing it, because it was too confusing.
The motivations for wars in different places are completely different. Some are to break the blood-sucking financial system left over from the European colonial period, there are religious conflicts, there are historical legacies of ethnic hatred, there are also competitions for newly discovered large mines, etc.
The siege battle evolved to a brutal level in just one week. Some warlord forces used heavy artillery to bombard the city. Many cities were besieged. Refugees hung bedsheets on the streets to avoid being shot by snipers while walking on the streets. The death toll was in Breaking through five thousand in just a few days, the Gallic Foreign Legion parachuted into the battle, and many NATO warships approached...
The semester at Frontier University of Science and Technology has started, and interviews for graduate students are about to begin. However, Song He is temporarily unable to find time to return to school, so he has to call and entrust Teacher Xiang to help him interview master students.
"You don't need to squeeze in artificial blood. Why don't we just leave it to the company?" Xiang Xiaotong was curious, "What are you busy with and can't spare a day?"
"Forget it, teacher, my office is now like a special headquarters. Whichever North African troops attack wherever, I will be asked to airlift the goods to the vicinity of which city. My desk is full of war information!" Song He looked at the desk. sigh.
Documents, maps, and battlefield photos in various languages are cluttered on the table. This kind of scene should appear on the desk of a warlord general, not on the desk of a private pharmaceutical company.
"Save someone's life at the Seventh Level Pagoda. You have accidentally been involved in an international situation this time. Go ahead. I will help you with school matters first. You can find a way to pay me back later." Xiang Xiaotong paused. Dun, "Happy birthday!"
Song He was startled, "I forgot."
In the first week of the war, artificial blood was not yet put into use. On the one hand, it had not had time to be transported to the front lines of the war zone, and on the other hand, the blood banks in the war zone had not yet been exhausted.
In the second week of the war, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Children's Fund and the World Health Organization announced that blood banks in many places in North Africa were in emergency and the medical system was largely paralyzed. They called on all warring parties to stop attacks on hospitals and civilian areas.
