The ownership and disposal rights of the oil fields undoubtedly belong to the Nanjing central government. At the same time, a new state-owned company was established with funding from the National Resource Commission to be responsible for the development and operation of the oil fields. All taxes collected were turned over to the central finance.
Moreover, in order to protect the safety of the oil fields, the Central Army will dispatch a troop to garrison the area.
China American Airlines also announced that it will establish a Sichuan branch in Chengdu and will launch a route from Chengdu to Shanghai in six months.
The Military Commission also announced the establishment of an aviation training base not far from Mianyang. The aircraft and pilot instructors used will be provided by China and the United States Airlines.
However, for Sichuan, where the oil field is located, it is not all bad. In order to subsidize the local finance, 15% of the tax collected by the oil field will be returned to the central government. At the same time, in view of the fact that there are 300 miles away that were originally owned by the Central Army and are now under the Central Government.
The Liulang Independent Regiment of the Seventh Route Army is garrisoned, so the oilfield garrison is a regiment with a strength of 2,500.
This result undoubtedly made both parties extremely satisfied. Liu Xiang and Sichuan were able to share 15% of the profits from the oil fields, and the garrison was only reduced to 2,500 people per regiment. The aircraft base was mainly used to train pilots.
During wartime, this aviation training base can mount live ammunition and attack at any time, but that is much better than imagining a well-trained aircraft brigade.
Moreover, this arrangement also gave the King of Sichuan enough face, proving that the government still trusted him.
Liu Xiang, who has both dignity and face, naturally has no dissatisfaction.
As long as the national government can gain control of strategic resources such as oil fields, a regiment of elites and the name of an aviation training base is actually an airport for an aircraft brigade, which is enough to ensure control of the oil fields. Don't look at the dozens of Sichuan troops.
There are countless plans, but to be honest, apart from the natural dangers of entering Sichuan, the national government really does not pay much attention to the poorly equipped Sichuan army.
Just like they didn't take the red troops with the same crude equipment in their eyes, the red troops still let them know that no matter how good the equipment is, it depends on the kind of people who use it. A few years later, the Sichuan Army responded to the slogan of marching for the country.
, the Japanese invaders used extremely rudimentary equipment and well-equipped equipment to fight in several battles. While everyone was impressed, it also made the big bosses in the government dismayed.
What is lacking in the "Two-Gun Army" is actually not the equipment, but the belief why they fight. When faced with a national crisis, they can shine brightest. And "defending the homeland and the country" is the reason why their entire division is trapped in an isolated city and fights bloody battles to the end.
After an expert team sent by the Resources Commission and the discoverer Huang Jiqing conducted detailed exploration again, it was determined that the reserves of the discovered oil field were small, with only about 350,000 barrels of oil produced per year. The 350,000 barrels totaled 50,000 tons.
The number sounds quite high, but in fact it is only a small number for a country. You must know that in the future, any of the large oil fields in the Republic can produce more than 10 million tons of crude oil every year, but even this is still not enough.
A large amount of crude oil needs to be purchased from abroad.
Even in this era, the annual output of the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies in Southeast Asia, which will be Indonesia in the future, has reached tens of millions of barrels. Calculated based on one ton and seven barrels, that is nearly 5 million tons. It is the Sichuan Oilfield.
Up to a hundred times the output.
This figure is naturally not good news for the government and Sichuan. After finally discovering an oil field, it turned out to be a mosquito leg.
But this news is good news for Liu Lang. Although he doesn’t know why expert Huang, who has always been awesome, made a small mistake on this, Liu Lang swears that he will never tell those geological madmen.
People, actually, the annual output of that oil field will be more than millions of tons in the future.
This is most likely because the depth of drilling has not been reached in this era. Liu Lang only knows that the depth of drilling in this oil field that was supposed to be developed in the future is more than several thousand meters. And this depth is not suitable for this era.
It is indeed too difficult to say that even Mobil Company of the United States, which claims to be the world's largest oil producer, is simply unable to reach a drilling depth of 3,000 meters.
Drill pipes and drill bits, as well as the technology of keeping drill pipes always vertical, are almost a symbol of a country's industrial technological progress. This was actually expected when Liu Lang informed Huang Jiqing of the approximate location of the oil field. He just did not expect China's drilling level.
It's quite strong, or Master Huang was very lucky, and he found the weakest position, but it was also the position with the least amount of oil in that oil field.
To be honest, crude oil is not something Liu Lang particularly longs for. Although the current independent regiment has some shadows of a synthetic group, it is still far away from a real synthetic group with a large number of armored vehicles, armed helicopters, self-propelled artillery and even short-range missiles.
, the worst part is that I can’t even see their shadow.
In this era, it is obviously impossible to equip those independent regiments without armored vehicles or helicopters. Do you need oil to make money? Especially since this oil will attract the covetousness of all parties, it is very annoying.
Moreover, what Liu Lang is most worried about is not the coveted eyes from China. What he is most worried about is the greedy small island country in the east. They are arrogant and ready to rob China's property and tap all kinds of resources in China.
?For island countries that are almost impoverished in terms of resources, even a commodity like coal can make them excited for a long time, let alone this kind of "liquid black gold"?
A few years after the start of the all-out war, they turned to Southeast Asia because China did not have the oil they needed. Now, will they appear? The two factions of the navy and army, who perform all-out martial arts every day, sat down together to discuss whether
How about working together to stop China from grabbing oil? You know, it’s much easier to do all you can to stop China than offending the Western powers.
At least, Liu Lang can guarantee that not only the Japanese, but also Westerners must think so, otherwise the Japanese brazenly invaded Southeast Asia and finally rashly attacked the American soldiers who had obtained the intelligence but still did not take it seriously.
A sharp stab in the butt caused a series of stupid conclusions among Western military scientists.
The "Sick Man of East Asia" is an iconic symbol left to the world by the weak China during this period. Not many people take a big country with a population of 40 million and an area of tens of millions of square kilometers in their eyes. It is sad, but it is a reality.
.
Liu Lang also knew that not only during this period, but even in the future, the increasingly powerful Republic was not as many people thought. In the eyes of ordinary people around the world, China was ranked among the top three powers in the world.
The conflict between the two fundamental concepts of capitalism and socialism prevents Western governments from promoting the Republic at all. The impressions formed in people's minds mainly come from books and various media. If you don't appear in them at all, who will
Do you know? What's more, many people in the Third Reich didn't even know that China participated in the global war decades ago, and they also couldn't understand why China appeared in the name of the victorious country.
Is it sad? It's not sad. As the strongest soldier in time and space, Liu Lang has always believed that it doesn't matter what others think of you. What matters is that you have a strong body. When someone wants to bully you
, the fist you show can let them know what is strong and what is pain, then they will always remember the name of the most powerful country in the east of the world, which is called China.
Liu Lang and his millions of comrades are part of this strong body, and their lives belong to the motherland.
No matter it is the future or the present, Liu Lang will always live for this idea of his, even if it means sacrificing his own life.
As a great soldier once said: My only regret is that I only have one life to devote to my motherland.
Liu Lang should be satisfied, he has one more chance than his comrades.
But now, this erroneous number due to the poor technology of the times made Liu Lang finally let go of the last stone in his heart.
