During the Beiyang Government period, the Chinese government made great efforts to develop the Yanchang Oilfield, signed the Sino-US Joint Oil Mine Contract with the United States, and established an oil company. However, within three years of Yanchang, the Americans conducted geological roughening of an area of 50,000 square kilometers.
According to the survey, the topographic map covers an area of about 100 square kilometers, and 7 wells were drilled, but they all contain very little oil. In the words of American geologists who have worked hard for three years: there is not a single well.
The output can be considered to have industrial value.
But is there really not much oil in the Yanchang Oilfield? In fact, Americans were slapped in the face again after the oil fields were discovered in Sichuan. From 1932 to 1934, the Chinese slapped Americans in the face with two big mouths in a row.
In the spring of 1934, because of the successful precedent of the Sichuan oil field, the Nanjing National Defense Commission and the Shaanxi Provincial Government established the Northern Shaanxi Oil Exploration Department. It took more than half a year to drill 4 wells. Well 101 hit oil at 101 meters, with a daily oil output of 1.6
tons, Well 201 hit oil at 104 meters, and produced 3 tons of oil per day. The two wells produced a total of 4.6 tons of oil per day, with an annual output of more than 1,700 tons.
Although it cannot be compared with the Mianyang Oilfield in Sichuan Province, which produces 50,000 tons of crude oil per year, and it is even less comparable to the large oil fields in Southeast Asia that produce millions of tons of crude oil per year, Chinese geologists have proven that there is oil here in Yanchang.
As long as they are given time, they can make the current "ultra-micro" extended oil field produce more oil.
In fact, this is indeed the case. After the red troops captured Yanchang and took over the Yanchang Oilfield in May 1935, this "chicken rib" with an annual output of only more than 1,700 tons, which even the Nanjing National Defense Commission did not pay much attention to, was like taking a powerful pill.
Through the efforts of the Red Army, the oil output is increasing day by day. Not only will it become a pillar industry of the future Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government, but by the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Republic in the future, it will become a large oil field with an annual output of nearly 10 million tons.
Of course, what Taizu relied on was not Liu Lang's ability to see through the future, but his keen sense that businessmen who invest heavily would need rich returns. In the entire northern Shaanxi, except for this little-known micro-oil field,
I'm afraid Loess Gaopo can't give Huashang Group much in return.
Seeing the expression on Liu Lang's face, Taizu knew that there was nothing wrong with what he thought, and said with a smile: "Well! Now that the deposit has been paid, we have no reason to regret it, as long as you can transport tungsten ore with the same luck
You have to go out, we produce, and you are responsible for sales. Although the output may not be as large as that of the Sichuan Oilfield, the advantage is that the water flows slowly! On our side, it is not like the reactionary government where people from top to bottom are attacking you.
!”
Liu Lang grinned and handed over the contract he had already drawn up in his arms. He smiled even more cheerfully as he watched the man take out a pen from his jacket pocket and sign his name in a flash.
The oil in the oil field might not be worth the money if you don’t have a signed contract with this name!
...
Mr. Liu was waiting to auction Taizu’s autograph in a few decades.
But to be honest, although the Yanchang Oilfield contains the oil that China is most in short supply, the daily output of several tons is almost negligible for a large industrial country with an annual oil consumption of hundreds of millions of tons. It is no wonder that the Americans have given this place three years of
There is no definition of "industrial use".
Even Liu Lang's current desire for oil is not that great. He does not yet have a mechanical force under his command, and the most equipment he has that requires oil is 800 three-wheelers. And as the saying goes, first come first served, according to Nanjing
According to the government agreement, 15% of the crude oil produced in the Mianyang Oilfield in Sichuan will be obtained by the Sichuan Provincial Government every year.
Liu Xiang has also established a refinery with an annual output of several thousand tons through Liu Lang and the American Ross Group. It can produce 2,000 tons of light gasoline, 2,000 tons of diesel, 400 tons of lubricating oil, and 1,000 tons of heavy oil every year. In addition to leaving some gasoline and diesel
The Sichuan Army uses it for its own use, and almost all of the remaining oil, including heavy oil that can be used as fuel, is taken care of by the Huashang Group headquartered in Sichuan.
After two years of reserves, the Liu Lang Independent Regiment's 800 three-wheelers naturally had no worries about fuel. It turned out that the efficiency of the local steelmaking plant had also been greatly increased because of the heavy oil as fuel.
This tiny oil field, with an annual output of only 2,000 tons, is naturally not what Liu Lang urgently needs, but it is the most suitable excuse for Liu Lang to relieve the vigilance of the wise middle-aged man in front of him.
As the saying goes: It’s not strange to give too many gifts. But if there are too many gifts, people will inevitably think too much. Although Liu Lang’s idea is very simple, he just wants to give more help to the red troops and kill more Japanese on the battlefield.
People, and the Chinese shed less blood.
"Okay, kid, your big deal has been concluded. Why don't you tell me what you saw when you came from outside?" Taizu saw that Liu Lang was careful to fold the contract and put it in for fear of being damaged.
The little "profiteer" in his arms looked like one, so he couldn't help but smile and change the topic.
"Then you think too highly of me. How can I, a small businessman, know about those guys' military arrangements?" Liu Lang shook his head and said.
Of course Liu Lang knew that there were three divisions of the Northeast Army waiting for them in front of the Red Army, but in the past time and space they had not been able to pose any major hindrance to the Red Army. In this era, they had equipped nearly a reorganized division.
It would be a piece of cake for the red troops with light and heavy machine guns and 24 mortars to capture them.
Why was it so difficult for the Red Army to march all the way north? Including the Battle of Lazikou the day before yesterday. Although there is no vivid record of this in military history, Liu Lang still learned from his old man that the Battle of Lazikou was actually the Red Army.
One of the most dangerous battles ever encountered.
Not only is the terrain of Lazikou difficult to defend and difficult to attack, but the most important thing is that the red troops have no cannons. The only mountain cannon that the red troops were reluctant to abandon when they climbed over the snowy mountains and crossed the grassland also had no shells. Therefore, facing the building built on the mountain
The enemy's light and heavy machine gun fire in the solid fortress forced the red troops to rush forward with only men. After advancing several meters, they finally used explosive packs and cluster grenades to blow up the bunker. Only then did they capture Lazikou, which can be said to have been paid for with human lives.
In this era, they are equipped with 72 light machine guns and 24 heavy machine guns plus the original light and heavy machine guns. The firepower of the entire Shaanxi-Gansu detachment has steadily surpassed the ordinary national army division equipped with only 27 heavy machine guns and 81 light machine guns, and 24
The mortars are far superior to the national army division which is only equipped with 6 mortars.
Whether Liu Lang said it or not, the Red Army would pass through Liupan Mountain and reach northern Shaanxi without any hindrance this time. The reason why Liu Lang chose not to say it was because the man in front of him was too powerful. As long as he said it, he would inevitably be exposed.
Some of the unique habits of a leading general may have really betrayed his identity by the person in front of him.
Out of strategic considerations against Japan, Liu Lang wanted to hang out for a few more years. The bound independent group was not as free as it is now.
The place name Liupanshan just came to mind. Liu Lang suddenly thought of an unsolved case in military history that had not been solved for more than fifty years until fifty-four years. His expression suddenly changed. However, that specific place name
Where exactly is it? Liu Lang tried his best to recall the military history record he had seen in his mind.
He had to recall it, because he clearly remembered that it was the place where a column, the troops directly under his grandfather and grandmother, were stationed. In other words, it was related to the safety of his two closest relatives. In the time and space of the past
It's okay, but who can say now? Liu Lang must nip all dangers in the bud.
"Eh? Little brat, what are you thinking about? There are a lot of white dog people here?" Taizu asked curiously when he saw Liu Lang's face changed drastically. Seeing that Liu Lang seemed to be thinking hard about something, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Fa comforted Liu Lang and said: "There is nothing to worry about! The soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, and hundreds of thousands of bald troops chased and intercepted us for a year, but they didn't do anything to us? With the equipment you sent this time, we can go up to ten divisions."
, I, Lao Mao, are not afraid of them, and your business will not be corrupted."
"More? Geng..." The thick Hunan accent directly lit up a corner of Liu Lang's memory.
It's Gengwan Town, yes, that's right.
Liu Lang came back to his senses and explained with a serious face: "I didn't think that you would encounter enemies with guns and cannons to fight with you, but I thought that you might encounter enemies that you can't see or touch. Then
That’s the scariest thing.”
"Oh? Little ghost head, don't believe in those gods and ghosts. We Red Party members are materialists and will never be afraid of those ghosts and ghosts." Taizu took a puff of cigarette with some dissatisfaction and said in a lecturing tone.
"Mr. Mao, look here. If you want to go north to northern Shaanxi, this is the place you must pass through. Not to mention that your enemies will definitely defend here. To your army, they are nothing more than clowns.
Liu Lang pointed his hand directly at a spot in Liupan Mountain at the junction of the three provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and Ningxia.
Taizu's eyes shone slightly, but he could not deny it. Obviously, not only had he decided to take this route, but it was at least within the scope of his consideration.
Liu Lang took a deep breath, drew a circle at the bottom of Liupan Mountain, and continued: "But you must not stay here for a long time. Even if you have to garrison, you are not allowed to drink the raw water here at will. Our Huashang Group Camel Gang once
A year and a half ago, more than 200 packhorses and nearly 50 people were lost in this valley, a heavy loss."
"Is it because of bandits?" Taizu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
"No, they just slept here all night. Early the next morning, another camel group behind them came over and saw corpses all over the ground. Whether they were mules, horses or people, they all fell to the ground.
, there were no wounds on his body, and his belongings were not damaged at all.”
Taizu couldn't help but look slightly solemn.
If Liu Lang was not lying, this was clearly an attempt to poison him. However, why was the property not damaged?
Of course he didn't know that the case Liu Lang was talking about was not actually the Camel Gang of the Chinese Business Group, but something that happened to the Red Army twenty days later in time and space.
