Chapter 671: The Japanese Are Unlucky
Undoubtedly, Hirohito's expression was a failure for the generals of the army department.
However, as long as this person has not yet expressed his position, then his attitude still has to be expressed.
So, while Emperor Hirohito had not yet expressed his position, the Japanese military and political dignitaries representing the interests of all parties attacked each other for a while, at this time, in fact, the small oil field in Sichuan, China was no longer important, the important thing was to stand in line, and follow closely the bigwigs who represented their own interests and not fall behind.
Standing in line is a thing that is used almost all over the world.
Looking at the noisy imperial meeting, Hirohito slammed the table and said angrily: "The kings have been arguing for a long time, it seems that they have deviated from the topic!" Now we are talking about the issue of China's discovery of oil fields, not the issue of overfunding the Ministry of War or the Ministry of the Navy, and you guys, who can give me an answer now? ”
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was angry, the fire of war at the conference table subsided for a while, and a group of high-ranking Japanese officers stood up respectfully, bowed their heads and held their breath.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and softened, Hirohito's face was slightly pale, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said: "Saito-kun is right just now, the empire is not ready for a full-scale war with China, and it is too much to disrupt the empire's long-planned plan for the sake of a very low-yield oil field. However, I need to get the most accurate information on the production of the oil fields in China, not the figure announced by the people of China, and I order the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters of the Imperial Army to use the highest-ranking intelligence personnel in China to obtain the most accurate production figures, and if the figures stated by the government of China are incorrect, the Empire will renegotiate the matter.
At the same time, if oil can be discovered in the interior of China, then Manchuria should be able to do the same, and according to Saito-kun, continue to intensify exploration of the three provinces of Manchuria and strive to find oil fields as soon as possible. The army and navy are all the humerus of the empire, and all the monarchs work together to make the empire prosperous. ”
"Hey, the empire is prosperous." Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had already made a decision, Japan's most prominent military and political leaders bowed their heads.
With hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil, it is indeed not worth such a big deal about the empire.
Liu Lang's thoughts about the high-level of the little devil are really thorough. They would never have taken such a big risk to launch a full-scale attack in advance because of a small oil field. It was a somewhat paranoid people who were serious about carrying out their plans.
In fact, it is not unheard of for China to discover oil fields during the war.
In 1939, two years after the start of the all-out war between China and Japan, China discovered China's first oil field at Laojunmiao in Yumen, Gansu Province, in the northwest. Japan, which knew the news, did not change its strategy and threw heavy troops to attack northwest China, and of course, it also entered into a comprehensive relationship with China and Japan. In fact, just like Japan, which is not ready now, there are still restrictions on the Japanese.
The unprepared Japan rashly launched a war, and their victory rate was even much lower than that of four years later, Liu Lang was full of confidence that an unprepared China would not even have to be as long as it had been in time and space to meet the unprepared Japan.
The reason is very simple, a prepared Japan is terrible, but a China that has been preparing for several years is really not ready to fight with the little devil in advance, and its own strength has not improved much anyway.
Of course, that imagination is just a joke.
Although China's supreme leader has not given up resistance, at the same time, he has always hoped that the Japanese will repented and take the initiative to withdraw from China under the mediation of Western countries, and it was not until four years after the start of the war that the Japanese could not bear the loneliness and stabbed the American cowboy boys, and China officially declared war on Japan.
It is simply the sorrow of a nation to place the peace of the country on other countries.
And the greatest thing about the first leader of the republic was not that he unified the whole country, but, in the face of foreign insults, bravely stretched out his fist and domineeringly told the whole Chinese people: All imperialism is nothing but paper tigers.
Peace has always been fought, not a white dove flying in the sky.
The white pigeon is really easy to make into a dish.
Of course, it stands to reason that Japan's Emperor Hirohito's strategy is not wrong, since Sichuan can produce oil, there is no reason why such fertile land in the three northeastern provinces cannot produce oil! In particular, the mineral resources of the three northeastern provinces are so abundant, and the coal, iron, copper, zinc and other minerals produced have simply blinded the eyes of the Japanese who have lived on the "mineral Gobi desert" since childhood.
However, if Liu Lang could hear this imperial meeting of the Japanese cabinet, he would definitely look up to the sky and laugh three times. Yes, from the very beginning, Liu Lang did not worry that the Japanese would dig up oil in the Northeast.
Of course, there is oil in the rich Northeast, whether it is the first large-scale oil field discovered by the Republic in the Songnen Plain, which is called Datong in the future, or the Liaohe Oilfield on the shore of the Liaohe River, it is the number one super oil field in the future Republic.
However, the Japanese have never discovered oil in the Northeast, which is not to say that they have not carefully explored, on the contrary, the Japanese have even been wandering around the Northeast several years ago.
Why did the Japanese stay in the three northeastern provinces for more than ten years in the time and space before they found out? The reasons for this can be described as intricate, and there are only three points to sum up.
First of all, we naturally want to thank the American GIs for the rescue, known as the world's most advanced oil company, the United States Mobil Corporation, has been tossing in China for several years, including Northeast China, but not a drop of oil has been found, so the Mobil Company, which is unwilling to have a bad reputation, has joined forces with famous Western geologists to use the theory of marine oil generation to detain China as an oil-poor country.
What about the Japanese? In the spring of 1929, Kunitaro Shindai, a Japanese geologist from the Manchurian Railway Geological Survey, and 10 Russians, led by local guides, traveled along the Dongqing Railway to the forest area of the upper reaches of the Mudanjiang River in search of oil, but returned after more than two months without success.
In April 1930, under the guidance of the Russian-American Torisky, the undying Shindai Kunitaro and others took a train to the Zhalainor Coal Mine in Manchuria to search for oil for the second time. They took the samples to Dalian, where they were determined to contain petroleum-based bitumen after several tests.
Oil seems to be close at hand. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, the three northeastern provinces fell, and the Japanese were more free in resource surveys. The area around Zalainuoer is always one of the most important areas. In the following three years, the Japanese mobilized a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and used advanced equipment and methods such as gravity prospecting and seismometer prospecting, but the oil field never showed up like a hide and seek from the Japanese.
After invading China, the Japanese explored along the Mudanjiang River, Jinzhou and Fuxin in Liaoning, Zhalainauer in Inner Mongolia, and Fengning in Hebei Province, all of which ended in failure. Japan thoroughly believed Mobil's conclusions about China's "poor oil".
And the second, and most important, point is the unlucky technology of the Japanese. From the perspective of academic theoretical guidance, at that time, Junichi Takahashi of Tohoku Imperial University in Japan was recognized as an authority on petroleum. What is his theory of oil generation?" The origin of saprolite on the seabed says". According to this theory, Japan focuses on the southern region of Liaoning Province for oil searching, and Daqing, located in the middle of the Songnen Plain, is the "North Manchurian area" where Japanese oil companies used to find oil, which is a typical continental sedimentary structure, which is theoretically an "oil-poor" area.
If this earth-breaking realm can produce oil, Master Junichi Takahashi dares to drink the oil. Liu Lang is sure that at the level at which they drilled wells for seven or eight hundred meters, even if Liu Lang stomped on the fertile soil of Daqing and told them that there was oil down there, they would not be able to get it.
The reason is that the shallowest position of the Daqing Oilfield was only produced by the Republic of China after hitting a full 1,300 meters. Perhaps it is because China's shelf structure is what Li Siguang and Huang Jiqing said belong to the terrestrial oil, and the oil is a little deeper than that of other countries.
And the third, and equally crucial, point is that the Japanese are unlucky.
This is very important.
Langtuan, firmly believe that in this time and space, they will also be unlucky, and even more unlucky.
Because, the protagonists, not them.
PS: Okay! Brothers who questioned it in the previous chapters, now you know why Langtuan is not afraid of Sichuan's oil! If there are any unpredictable circumstances, the first thought of Langtuan is to seal the well. Fengyue patted his chest, fortunately, my brother can come over, don't hit me if you think wrong. You are not afraid to beat me, Langtuanza will say, I have the halo of the protagonist, the tiger body is shocked, and the little devils are all unlucky。。。。。。 Ah! Why does Fengyue feel that people have changed a lot during the holiday? Speed roll away the codeword to go.
