Chapter 669: Worrying About the Sky?

There is no doubt that the ownership and disposal of the oilfield belong to the central government in Nanjing, and at the same time, a new state-owned company will be established at the expense of the National Resources Commission to be responsible for the development and operation of the oilfield, and all the taxes collected will be handed over to the central government.

In addition, in order to protect the safety of the oil fields, the Central Army will send a garrison to the local area.

Sino-American Airlines also announced the establishment of a Sichuan branch in Chengdu, which will open a route from Chengdu to Shanghai in six months.

At the same time, the Military Council announced the establishment of an aviation training base not far from Mianyang, and the planes and pilot instructors to be used will be provided by Chinese and American airlines.

However, for Sichuan, where the oil field is located, it is not that there is nothing. In order to subsidize the local finances, 15 percent of the tax collected by the oil fields will be returned by the central government. At the same time, in view of the fact that there was already a garrison of the Liu Lang Independent Regiment of the Seventh Route Army that belonged to the Central Army and was now part of the Seventh Route Army 300 miles away, the oil field garrison was a regiment with an establishment of 2,500 people.

This result undoubtedly made both sides extremely satisfied; Liu Xiang and Sichuan were able to share 15 percent of the profits from the oil fields, the garrison was reduced to only 2,500 men per regiment, and the aircraft base was mainly used to train pilots.

Moreover, such an arrangement also gave the king of Sichuan enough face to prove that the government still trusted him.

Liu Xiang, who has both the inside and the face, is naturally not dissatisfied.

As long as the government can gain control of the oil field, a strategic resource, the elite of a regiment and the famous aviation training base are actually an airfield for an aircraft brigade, which is enough to ensure the control of the oil field. Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops, but to be honest, except for the natural danger of entering Sichuan, the government really didn't pay too much attention to the poorly equipped Sichuan army.

Just as they didn't pay attention to the Red Army, which was also poorly equipped, the Red Army still let them know that no matter how good the equipment is, it depends on what kind of people are using it. A few years later, the Sichuan army, which responded to the slogan of going out for the country, used extremely simple equipment and well-equipped Japanese soldiers to fight several battles, which not only impressed everyone, but also made the bigwigs of the national government fall through the glasses.

The difference between the "two-gun army" is not actually the equipment, but the belief in what it is fighting for. In the face of national crisis, they can also burst out with the brightest light. And "defending the homeland and defending the country" is the reason why they are trapped in the lonely city and fight to the end.

After a team of experts sent by the Resources Committee and the discoverer Huang Jiqing made a detailed exploration again, it was found that the reserves of this oil field were small, and the oil field could only produce about 350,000 barrels of oil per year. The total of 350,000 barrels and a total of 50,000 tons sounds quite high, but in fact it is only a small amount for a country, you must know that in the future, the output of those large oil fields in the Republic will reach more than 10 million tons of crude oil every year, but even so, it is still necessary to buy a large amount of crude oil from outside.

Even in this era, the annual output of the Dutch East Indies in Southeast Asia, that is, the future Indonesian oil field, has reached tens of millions of barrels, and according to the conversion of seven barrels per ton, it is nearly 5 million tons, which is 100 times the output of the Sichuan oilfield.

This figure is naturally not too good news for the government and Sichuan. I finally found an oil field, and it turned out to be a mosquito leg.

But this news is good news for Liu Lang. Although he didn't know why the Huang expert, who had always been, made a small mistake in this regard, Liu Lang swore that he would never tell the geological maniacs that in fact, the oil field would produce millions of tons a year in the future.

It is very likely that this is not yet the depth of drilling in this era, and Liu Lang only knows that this oil field, which should have been developed in the future, has been drilled to a depth of thousands of meters. And this depth is indeed too difficult for this era, even the United States Mobil Corporation, 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 perpendicular, are almost a sign of a country's industrial technological progress. In fact, this was expected as early as when Liu Lang told Huang Jiqing the approximate location of the oilfield, he just didn't expect that China's drilling level was quite strong, or that Master Huang's luck was very good, and he found the weakest position, but at the same time, it was also the position with the least amount of oil in that oilfield.

To be honest, crude oil is not something that Liu Lang particularly desires. Although the current independent regiment already has some shadows of synthetic regiments, it is not even visible to the real synthetic regiments of a large number of armored vehicles, armed helicopters, self-propelled artillery and even short-range missiles.

For this era, want to equip those separate regiments that are obviously impossible, without armored vehicles and helicopters, to oil and wool? In particular, this oil will attract covetousness from all sides, which is annoying.

And what Liu Lang is most worried about is not from the covetous eyes of the country, but the greedy island country in the east, who are desperate to rob China's property and tap all kinds of resources on the land of China. For island countries that are almost impoverished in terms of resources, even coal is a big road commodity that can make them excited for a long time, not to mention this kind of "liquid black gold"?

A few years after the start of the all-out war, they turned to Southeast Asia, just because China didn't have the oil they needed, so now, will they show up, and the big bosses of the navy and army who stage an all-out military exercise every day sit together and discuss whether to work together to get China to grab oil? You know, it is much easier to go all out to deal with China than to offend the Western powers.

At least, Liu Lang dares to guarantee that not only the Japanese must think so, but also the Westerners, otherwise the Japanese brazenly invaded Southeast Asia at the beginning, and finally rashly stabbed the American GI in the ass who had already obtained information but still didn't take it seriously, which caused a stupid judgment among Western military scientists.

"The sick man of East Asia" is an iconic symbol left to the world by China's weak China during this period, and not many people regard a large country with a population of 40,000 and tens of millions of square kilometers of land in their eyes, which is very sad, but it is a reality.

Liu Lang also knows that not only in this period, but even in the future, the gradually stronger republic is not as many people think, in the eyes of ordinary people around the world, China is one of the top three powers in the world.

The conflict between the two fundamental ideas of capitalism and socialism has made it impossible for Western governments to propagate the republic at all. The impressions that people form in their minds come mainly from books and various media, and if you don't appear in them at all, who knows? What's more, many in the Third Reich did not even know that China had participated in the global war decades earlier, nor could they understand why China had emerged as a victorious power.

Sad, isn't it? It's not sad, as the most powerful soldier in time and space, Liu Lang has always believed that it doesn't matter what others think of you, the important thing is that you have a strong physique, when someone wants to bully you, your fist can let them know what is strong and what is painful, then they will always remember the name of the most powerful country in the East of the world, he is called China.

And Liu Lang and his millions of comrades-in-arms are part of this strong body, and their lives belong to the motherland.

Whether it is the future or the present, Liu Lang will always live for this concept of his own, even if it is to sacrifice his life.

As a great warrior once said, my only regret is that I only have one life to dedicate to my country.

Liu Lang should be satisfied, he has one more chance than his comrades.

And now, this wrong number due to the poor technology of the times has finally made Liu Lang finally put down the last stone in his heart.

Liu Lang's worries are not unfounded.
