Although a lot of oil has been discovered in Saudi Arabia, it is far from reaching the level of large-scale exploitation and commercialization, and the current Saudi Arabia is far from being rich.

The annual income of one million US dollars is really a large amount, not to mention that the desert rented by the Chinese side near the entrance to the Persian Gulf was still in the early thirties, when Saudi Arabia invaded the neighboring country at a very small price, but I did not expect that it can now rent 1 million US dollars a year.

The current Saudi territory is basically the same as the Saudi territory of later generations, but there are certain differences, at least, the current Saudi territory has reached the entrance to the Persian Gulf, and this land has just been leased to the Chinese side, which is just close to the entrance to the Persian Gulf.

Today, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy came over in person, and the Saudi royal family sent several important members to personally accompany Liu Dazhu and his party, and the purpose of the Saudi royal family is very obvious, that is, to get some more dollars and rent a few pieces of desert that are worthless in their own eyes to the Chinese side.

Saudi Arabia is a dual monarchy of theocracy and prohibits political party activities. There is no constitution, the Quran and the Hadith are the basis for the state to enforce the law, and the king represents the supreme power.

The leading member of the Saudi royal family was Khalid, the nephew of the current Saudi King Abdulaziz and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, Comrade Liu Dazhu, who personally came to inspect it.

Liu Dazhu came here. Inspecting the progress of the project is only one of them, and in addition, Zhang Yunfei also sent a secret message to Liu Dazhu that if he can win the oil exploitation rights of Saudi Arabia, it will be the best.

It is not impossible to win the right to extract oil in a large area of Saudi Arabia's territory, which has a precedent, as early as the thirties, Saudi Arabia leased a large area of oil exploitation rights to the American Mobil Oil Company of California for a period of 66 years.

So. The Chinese side has obtained a large area of oil exploration rights in Saudi Arabia. It is entirely possible, after inspecting the construction of the base, Liu Dazhu is ready to have a good talk with the Saudi royal family, which is also what Zhang Yunfei specially explained.

Inspection of the base. Liu Dazhu spent two whole days. Look at it in detail. Liu Dazhu asked about many details, and Khalid and others accompanied Liu Dazhu seriously, looking very patient.

Seeing Khalid and the others, they were full of hospitality. Liu Dazhu was very funny in his heart, but he didn't reveal it on his face, Zhang Yunfei had already revealed to Liu Dazhu that Saudi Arabia had a large amount of oil.

At present, Saudi Arabia, as well as the entire Tokyo region, has not attracted strong attention from the countries of the world, and the main attention of the major powers is entirely focused on the war that has not yet ended.

*****

Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

After Liu Dazhu inspected the construction of the base, at the warm invitation of the Saudi king, Liu Dazhu, on behalf of Zhang Yunfei, came to Riyadh with several important personnel.

The Saudi side was very enthusiastic, and the Saudi king personally greeted Liu Dazhu, who stayed in Riyadh for three full days, and the details were highly confidential, but the Chinese side and the Saudi side signed a detailed lease agreement for oil exploitation rights.

The Chinese side has obtained almost half of Saudi Arabia's oil exploration rights for 100 years, and the Chinese side has paid only a few million dollars a year and some captured Japanese weapons and equipment.

Both sides were happy that in the next 100 years, China would be able to extract oil in a number of areas.

The oil reserves of the whole Saudi Arabia are definitely the first in the world, but now most of the super oil fields have not been discovered, which requires China to explore, but I believe it is not difficult.

In later generations, Saudi Arabia became known as the "oil kingdom" and was one of the countries with the largest oil reserves, production and sales in the world. The proven oil reserves are more than 30 billion tons, and the natural gas reserves are more than 3 trillion cubic meters.

Liu Dazhu's trip to Tokyo was very successful, and the whole country is divided into 13 districts, and the oil exploration rights in five of the zones have been leased to the Chinese side, and these five zones are undoubtedly the five largest oil reserves in the whole of Saudi Arabia.

Mid-January.

Liu Dazhu returned to Beiping and made a special report to Zhang Yunfei, after Zhang Yunfei listened to the report, he was in a good mood and felt that he had not been so happy for a long time.

Zhang Yunfei thought, as a traverser, although he does not have a golden finger against the sky, but the memory of later generations is his precious wealth, if he does not know the importance of oil in later generations, if he does not know that there is a huge amount of oil in the Middle East, then he would never think that he would spend millions of dollars every year to obtain the right to exploit oil in a large area of barren land in Saudi Arabia.

Most of the area of Saudi Arabia is absolutely barren land, and the use value is very low, because of this, for a long time, almost no country has hit the idea of these areas, even Saudi Arabia itself believes that the use value of these barren land is very low, and it can be leased for millions of dollars a year, which is definitely profitable.

However, when a few years later, there are super oil fields here, what will Saudi Arabia think, what will the world think, I am afraid that then their intestines will be repentant.

After listening to Liu Dazhu's report, Zhang Yunfei specially instructed that he send a delegation to other countries in the Middle East to discuss with these countries the matter of leasing oil exploitation rights.

It seems that Zhang Yunfei has tasted the sweetness this time, and his appetite is also great, and he wants to lease a large area in the Middle East to exploit oil, after all, in the Middle East, in addition to Saudi Arabia, a major oil country, many other countries have oil reserves.

For example, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and so on, it is a good time to start with these countries, and at present, the eyes of other countries in the world are not paying attention to these countries at all, in addition, these countries are still very poor and backward, and they believe that for a certain amount of dollars, it is completely possible to obtain the right to exploit oil in a large territory.

After Liu Dazhu finished the report, he was highly praised by Zhang Yunfei, and Liu Dazhu, who was praised, left Zhang Yunfei's office happily.

The next day.

Several delegations were formed and set off from the country to the Middle East, and the action was very fast, and these delegations were going to the Middle East countries to lease the oil exploitation rights of these countries.

Among the domestic high-level officials, everyone now knows the purpose of Zhang Yunfei's move, and everyone admires Zhang Yunfei's foresight and deep admiration for Zhang Yunfei.

*******

The time has come in late March, and the huge naval base of the Chinese Navy at the entrance to the Persian Gulf has begun to take shape, which can completely dock large warships, the airport has basically been built, and a large number of fighters and bombers have begun to enter the airport.

The garrison of the entire base has increased from more than 10,000 in the past to more than 30,000 or 40,000 now, including not only the navy and air force, but also a large number of land forces. The navy, land and air forces are stationed here.

As the construction of this base was nearing completion, the Chinese army began to attack the German army.

North Africa, northern Egypt.

This is the main battlefield of North Africa in World War II, not only the British army and the United States, but also the German army and the Italian army, the two sides have fought many times in the North African theater, but they are evenly matched, and no one can help anyone.

However, this strategic balance should be upset in the near future, since Chinese troops have already reached more than two hundred kilometers southeast of Cairo and landed not far from the entrance to the Suez Canal.

At the moment, the Suez Canal is controlled by the Germans, and if it were not for this, the Chinese troops would definitely pass through the Suez Canal and go directly to the Mediterranean.

This time, it was the 1st Army, the elite of the Chinese army, that entered the African theater, and considering that the enemy was the famous German army, Zhang Yunfei sent Wang Haiyang's 1st Army out as the vanguard of the Chinese army, under the protection of the Indian Ocean Fleet, to land at the predetermined place.

It was just a small seaport near the Suez Canal, bordering the Red Sea, where a large fleet of two aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, a dozen destroyers, and several frigates was cruising and guarding.

In addition, there are quite a few supply ships and so on, more than 30 large and small ships, which are part of the main warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the entire Indian Ocean Fleet is equipped with three aircraft carriers.

The fighters of the 1st Army, on a large number of large transport ships, are landing in an orderly manner, and a large number of fighters and a large number of combat readiness have already set foot on land.

The small harbor was controlled by the British army, the soldiers were relatively safe, basically there was no enemy harassment, this small harbor, nearly 2,000 British troops were stationed, and many British troops were curiously watching the soldiers land.

For these British troops, the Chinese army is full of mystery, a few years ago it was defeated by the Japanese army, and in the past few years, it has not only annihilated the Japanese army, but also hit the Japanese mainland, and annihilated nearly two million Japanese troops in Southeast Asia.

What kind of army is this?

Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, stood on the deck of a large transport ship, watching the soldiers landing, Wang Haiyan was full of spirits, this time, as the vanguard of the African battlefield, Wang Haiyang naturally knew Zhang Yunfei's intentions.

Wang Haiyang thought that the chief must want to make a good start. Although the Germans had never fought each other, Wang Haiyang believed that he was confident that he would win the first battle.
