Japan is a country with extremely short resources, especially oil... In the late stage of the war, Japan even reached the point where it was necessary to use pine roots to make pine root oil as aviation fuel, which obviously had a lot to do with Japan's failure to find oil in China.

Japan has never found oil in Northeast China. In fact, after Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, the Japanese exploration team has never stopped looking for oil in Northeast China.

Moreover, there is a lot of oil in the northeast, such as Daqing, Liaohe, Jilin, and Jidong... But the Japanese failed to find it with two thousand meters of oil exploration technology, and the shallowest depth of Daqing Oilfield is only about one thousand meters.

The main reason is that the strategic direction is wrong and the focus is on finding oil fields along the coast.

The key point is to dig a well of 2,000 meters in the coastal area and a well of 1,000 meters in the inland.

The Liaohe Oilfield in the coastal area has a depth of 6,000 meters, and of course it is impossible to find the well with a depth of 2,000 meters.

The shallowest wells of Daqing Oilfield in the inland area are 1,000 meters, and the 1,000 meters well cannot be found... It is said that the wells dug by the Japanese found that the oilfield is only one or two hundred meters away.

Therefore, if the inland Qinchuan had oil fields spread to Japan... I would just dig a 2,000-meter well at Daqing's location, history would probably be rewritten.

"Captain!" Seeing Qin Chuan remained silent, Colonel Slain handed a cigarette to Qin Chuan and said, "Even if we find oil, we can't hide anything. What should happen will happen!"

"No, we can!" Qin Chuan said.

"How to do it?" Colonel Slain unstoppable.

"Remember what Professor Buckhouse said about finding oil?" Qin Chuan asked back.

"You mean...an anticline, basin or something?"

"No, I'm talking about the method of finding oil and gas, the initial method!"

"Hmm!" Colonel Slain nodded: "I remember finding oil first, and then digging it on the ground. This is the easiest!"

"Yes!"

"But what's the use of this to conceal this matter?" Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.

"Of course it's useful!" Qin Chuan explained: "If we look for oil according to the basin and anticline oil pooling theory, it proves that we are sure there is oil in the inland North Africa, and we will confirm this when we find the oil!"

"Oh!" Colonel Slain couldn't help but nodded: "But if... we found oil based on the traces of oil and gas, it can only be said to be a coincidence!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "So, we have to take the initiative to leak some news, saying that we accidentally found black sand and explored..."

"You are crazy, Captain!" Colonel Slain interrupted Qin Chuan: "You will expose us in advance. When the British hear about this, they will take corresponding measures against us!"

"But this is much better than being discovered by them, isn't it?" Qin Chuan replied: "In order to cover up something more important, we must make a little sacrifice so that even if the British know that we have discovered oil fields in the inland, they will not think of Libya and Egypt. Besides... even if they have any measures, we can deal with it!"

Colonel Slain couldn't help but remain silent, because Qin Chuan's words did sound reasonable.

After thinking about it, Colonel Slain said to the adjutant: "Lucas, let Professor Buckhouse come!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Captain!" Colonel Slain asked as the adjutant left: "You seem to be convinced that there will be oil here. Can you tell me why?"

"Because we only have this way out, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "Didn't you see that? General Rommel sent us to assist the exploration team because of this, so we must consider all the issues clearly, which is related to whether the entire African army survives here!"

Colonel Slein nodded when he heard this. He also knew that Germany's oil did not support the Eastern Front and the two-front battles in North Africa, especially after the African Legion had a fleet, the demand for oil rose sharply. In fact, a battle to blockade against Britain would have to be added.

The African Legion is a secondary battlefield, and Germany's fuel supply here has been unable to keep up with demand, which will undoubtedly put the African Legion on the verge of collapse.

"Colin!" Professor Buckhouse walked in at this time.

"Professor!" Colonel Slain signaled Professor Buckhouse to sit down in the chair and said, "The captain suggested that we disclose some information about the oil field appropriately."

"Why?" Professor Buckhouse cast a puzzled look at Qin Chuan.

"To cover up the oil inland North Africa!" Colonel Slain explained: "I wonder... can it be concealed if we pretend to find oil based on oil and gas?"

"Oh!" Buckhouse couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this. After thinking about it, he replied, "I think this is feasible, Colonel!"

"Why?"

"Because there was such a precedent!" Professor Buckhouse replied: "Last July, the British dug oil while digging trenches in Saudi Arabia. But until now... we still generally believe that the inland is a poor or low-oil area. If it weren't for the captain, we would still be looking for the coastline!"

Colonel Slain nodded: "That is, we can create a similar event!"

"Yes!" Professor Buckhouse replied: "For example, we can say that when we dig a well to get water, we found oil seedlings, and then everyone will ignore this as another exception. They will still believe that the oil field is by the sea!"

Colonel Slain was speechless after hearing this.

Professor Buckhouse asked again: "This will bring us danger, right?"

"Professor, this is a question we need to consider!" said Colonel Slain. "You can leave, thank you very much!"

After Professor Buckhouse left, Colonel Slein said helplessly to Qin Chuan: "You are right, Captain! This can indeed deceive them, but have you ever thought...there will be a lot of impact this will have?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

First of all, this matter must be hidden from Hitler, otherwise it will not be considered a scam under the influence of the British "super secret".

Of course, Rommel and others are not aware of this.

Secondly, as Colonel Slain said, the British would take action because they knew that the German army had dug oil seedlings, which might threaten the safety of the exploration team or affect the exploration process.
