Chapter 1317 Capacity Issues
Transportation can be solved by train, more than 100,000 wagons, as long as there is a month, it is not difficult to produce, but it is a little difficult to come back from Baslara, and the land can be solved by rail, but at sea, although China has the world's largest ocean-going fleet, the amount of materials transported to Germany every year is extremely huge, it can be said that more than 90% of the materials purchased by Germany are transported by sea transport ships, but unfortunately these ships are bulk ships, ro-ro ships and container ships, Not a single tanker.
China does not have enough oil quotas, there is no way to pull oil back from all over the world on a large scale, many times, it is a hammer in the east, a mallet in the west, there may be a certain quota this month, the next month, there is no such quota, there is no way to use fixed lines and tankers, at most on the basis of mixed wheels and bulk wheels, with some large tank loading.
Such a load is very unprofessional, and it can be borne when it imports less than one million tons per year, but when the number of this load reaches 150 million tons per year, it is impossible not to use special tankers.
did not foresee, Germany will suddenly occupy Baku, and did not prepare in advance, which also caused, at present, China, the lack of oil tankers, relative to the liquid carriage, the production of oil tankers is a little more difficult, China is not prepared to excessively, a large number of oil tankers of 10,000 tons, so that it will soon be eliminated, the starting point is 50,000 tons, although technically, it does not become a condition that restricts China's production, but a 50,000-ton oil tanker, at least a year, so that the oil tanker is produced. The oil piling up in Basra may be in the hundreds of millions of tons.
Anything, when the order of magnitude reaches the unit of billions. The total amount would be extremely terrifying, not to mention whether Basra has the capacity to store so much oil. Let's just say that there is, such a huge amount of oil, stored in Basra, is not a problem, China's needs, daily consumption, is not a problem.
Knowing the German target of the attack on Baku, China has begun to expand its production capacity and build docks, but it is a pity that the 50,000-ton docks are built. It is not so easy to build, and it is easier for civilian ships, but oil tankers are different from bulk ships and ro-ro ships, and they are more difficult to build, and they are more professional transport ships.
From the beginning of the year to the present, almost one year, the northwest has barely completed 40 50,000-ton oil tankers, but unfortunately the number is still not enough, at most the oil will be transported to Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia already borders China, but unfortunately there is still no domestic security, and it takes a long time to travel from Southeast Asia to China.
On the premise that hundreds of oil tankers were not conjured up at once. The only way to do this was to find a compromise, and Yang Yuanzhao decided that it would be between Basra and Baghdad first. Establishment of large-scale petrochemical enterprises, with cracking and decomposition. Let the oil become a different category of products, and some of these will be shipped to China. The rest, will be stored on the spot, and even part of the sale, this is the best way to solve the problem, and in China, it is necessary to produce more than 50,000 tons of oil tankers on a large scale, and most of the domestic production capacity is occupied by warships, but with the development of China's entire coast, from Lushun to the development of a series of ports in the Beihai Sea of Guangzhou, shipyards are almost all over the entire China, 50,000 tons of shipping, carefully search, it is not impossible.
In the future, when China enters the war, the world will enter the era of the air force, even if the air force of the Entente countries can not produce great results, but even the most elementary air force, there will be a great threat to the 3B railway, even if there is only one aircraft, it will also restrict the capacity of the 3B railway, as the most important strategic resource oil, it is impossible to control it in the hands of others, so build an oil pipeline to Baghdad from Baku, In order to save capacity and ensure safety, this is the best choice. After the completion of the oil pipeline, even if there is an aircraft threatening the railway, it can also ensure the capacity, and then a series of shipyards led by Jiangnan Shipyard will go all out to produce 50,000-ton cruise ships, according to one and a half months to and fro, a ship can go back and forth eight times, that is to say, a 50,000-ton oil tanker can transport back 400,000 tons of oil every year, Thinking of the allocation of 150 million tons, at least 400 ships are needed, and even at present, China has 120 50,000-ton ships, and it will take 4 years to complete all this.
China can't wait for 4 years, then, the timely construction of a large-scale 50,000-ton dock, has become the top priority, at least to ensure that the number of docks reaches 300, in order to ensure production capacity, according to the efficiency and cost ratio of large transport ships, can support a large amount of oil back to China, to ensure China's oil security.
For a long time in the early stage, a small number of transport ships can only travel between Basra and Southeast Asia, which only passes through the northern part of the Indian Ocean, which is quite time-saving, compared with the complete, will save several times the voyage, for the sake of convenience, some petrochemical enterprises will also be established in Malacca, not only to meet the needs of industrial development in Southeast Asia, but also to lay out in advance, whether it is the Middle East or Southeast Asia, are oil-intensive, built in advance, it is not a waste, after the establishment of large-scale industry, It is also convenient to import people here, and for China, only with more people can this land be controlled.
The Entente has been paying attention to the situation in Baku, Germany first conquered Baku, not on behalf of the Entente to give up Baku, Russia ignited Baku's oil fields, which just made the Entente quite excited, 10 of the largest oil wells, representing the annual production capacity of 10 million tons, the important role of large oil wells for an oil-producing area, let them know that at least half a year do not have to worry, a large amount of oil burning, caused by geological disasters, will make the surrounding Black Sea and the Caspian Sea polluted, Even if Germany were to get this fertile land, there would not be much of a threat.
However, the Chinese came out of the horse, only less than 10 days, extinguished the oil field fire, soon, as long as a slight adjustment, Baku will resume the original production, and even out of the blue, obtain more production capacity, Germany is already difficult to contain, and now Baku has been obtained, it is simply like a tiger, not only can get a lot of oil, but also can get a considerable amount of financial support.
What kind of virtue is Russia, Baku's oilfield equipment, at least 20 years ago, as long as Germany comes up with new equipment, the efficiency of oil production will be greatly improved, such a result, not to the satisfaction of the Entente, is equivalent to a certain extent, strengthened Germany, itself Germany is strong and difficult to suppress, now under the situation of obtaining a large number of resources and funds, the Entente is facing huge pressure.
It's a pity that the Entente can't reach the whip, in order to support Russia's preparation of troops, because of the war situation in the North Sea, they can't get out, and the rest, whether it's the defenders of Bordeaux or the second battlefield in Italy, can't affect Baku on the coast of Central Europe, Britain, France and the United States have urged Russia several times to let them open up a battlefield in Georgia, but they have been circumvented by Russia by various means, whether it is China or Germany, Russia can't afford to offend, and can't offend, losing Georgia and Baku, As if it was a blow to the head, it completely woke up Russia, and they deeply realized that Russia's foundation will always be in Europe, and the failure of the Asian war will be a failure, and only by stably holding Europe and winning the European war can we win everything, otherwise, Germany has won more than 1 million square kilometers this year, and next year it will go further, even if it is only 200 kilometers forward, for Russia, it is a nightmare-like existence, even if Russia has a strong strategic depth, Unless on a frontal battlefield, resist the German attack,,. Perdition is only a matter of time.
Will Russia be able to withstand Germany? Even the most optimistic, staunch Great Russians, cannot firmly believe in this problem, the reason is very simple, the difference between Russia and Germany is too great, at the beginning of the war, Russia recognized this problem, and set the focus of the goal on China, which is also a direct embodiment of this idea, persimmons always have to find soft pinch, but unfortunately China is not a soft persimmon, but an iron wall, Russia was finally hit on the head and bled out.
Time into the middle of winter, the end of November, the whole of Europe, is already full of ice and snow, the fierce war situation in the whole Europe, but also gradually into a calm, the two sides into a year of war, all aspects of the loss is not small, must stop the war, **** wound, and open next year's plan.
In 1915, the two sides of the Entente and the Central Powers, in the third year of the war, launched military operations respectively, not seeking victory in the main battlefield, but choosing to be in the branch battlefield, the Entente chose the Middle East and Italy, although the initial achievements were made, in the end, because of Lan Fang's intervention and crushing, especially in the Italian direction, the Entente almost succeeded, but because of the 1 million Lan Fang natives, entered the Albis Pass and was frustrated.
On the contrary, Germany, with the support of China, has not only obtained 700,000 square kilometers of land in Poland and Kiev, but also introduced the front to Baku, which was once the most important oil-producing area in Russia and Europe, and the world-famous oil city, which has become Germany's bag, and with the support of China, oil production has increased on the original basis. As long as it continues, this will become a huge growth point for Germany, supporting the consumption of Germany to fight in Europe. (To be continued.) )
