On the same day, Nanjing was also in a difficult choice because of the world-class oil fields. The discovery of oil, which can be called the largest single overseas income in history, has made the whole country both happy and hot. The two cutting-edge cruisers have not yet caught the heat, and on the grounds that the oil fields will cause instability in the South Sea, they urged the coastal shipyards to speed up the speed of several other ships.

The most important thing is, naturally, the first official aircraft carrier of the Navy, the Daxia class. According to the internal number of the Navy, the aircraft carrier is codenamed "Dragon", so the port number of this aircraft carrier will be "Dragon 01" in Chinese, and the Yin Shang ship that started construction in Mawei in Sandu Aoxin is called "Dragon 02". The Taiwan Island class and the Tumen River class are cruisers, starting with the word "wind", and the port numbers are Feng 06-09 and Feng 10-19. The 4 Anhai-class ships still have the name of cruiser, so the port number is Feng 01-05 (naval superstition, the end 4 is all deleted and not used).

This kind of naming was not made up by Yang Qiu, but the madman Zhang Binglin of the Ministry of Education approached the Admiralty and said that the navy is a window to the outside world and must be named with Chinese characters. The navy was entangled by him, so it had to be numbered in Chinese. Finally, the aircraft carrier - Dragon, battleship - mine, cruiser - wind, destroyer - electricity, submarine - Jiao, frigate (gunboat and torpedo boat) - demon, troop carrier (landing ship) - boarding, supply ship - whale, reconnaissance ship (including hydrographic, ice-breaking and other auxiliaries) - dolphin, etc.

In addition to aircraft carriers, there are Yongxing-class destroyers. This class of destroyers is designed by the Navy itself according to the Changfeng class, and if it goes well, 12 will be built, all named after the islands of the Paracel Islands. It eliminated the overweight twin 120mm gun. It is replaced by a 4-door single tube, focusing on strengthening airworthiness and endurance. The maximum speed is 35 knots, the standard displacement is 1450 tons, the full load is 1800 tons, and it can carry 2 sets of triple 600mm large torpedoes and 22 deep bombs or mines.

The Coast Guard also came to join in the excitement and started construction of two coast-class large patrol frigates. This kind of warship is quite in the style of the later French Kagetsu class. With a displacement of 1,700 tons, it is armed with 1 85mm naval gun and 2 40mm rapid-fire guns, but it carries 2 Seagull-class speedboats and 6 water cannons. It has a top speed of 25 knots and a range of an astonishing 12 knots/6,000 nautical miles.

Hearing this, everyone didn't know whether to praise the navy for its strong sense of distress, or to say that they had nothing to do. But everyone was quite surprised that Yang Qiu deliberately leaked oil reserves through the mouth of a Russian engineer. Although the actual reserves are concealed. But 300 million tonnes is still too big and too big to start a war. Even Li Yuanhong complained a few words: "Chenhua, is it too careless to leak the oilfield reserves this time?" ”

Li Yuanhong knew that Yang Qiu sent Ma Kui to Nanyang to survey oil fields, and he also knew that oil was now the blood of industry, so he had the impression that it should be explored and then make a fortune, plug in pipes, and build a bunch of oil tankers to transport back, rather than making a big show. You must know that even if you subtract half and only say 300 million tons, it is enough to cause the eyes of Britain, the United States and Japan. If you sell it directly, it will be a huge amount of 2.1 billion US dollars! 50 battleships similar to the Japanese Nagato-class can be built.

Today he was in a good mood, and took advantage of the holiday to pull Yang Qiu and his wife to visit the Purple Mountain. The children were laughing in the front, and he was worried in the back: "Yingmei is not afraid, it's a big deal to give them some shares." France can't take care of this matter, but Japan is now short of oil. Ziqing told me yesterday. Last year alone, they imported 100,000 tons of crude oil. Now that such a big oil field has exploded, in my opinion, I probably can't help it. Chenhua, you don't know, the navy's ocean-going operations are not as good as the Yellow Sea last time, there are no reliable bases around, and the weather and sea conditions can affect victory or defeat. The Japanese Navy had enough experience, and now there were 2 more Nagato-class battleships. There are seven points of certainty in fighting in the south! Hey, it would be nice if it was another 5 years. ”

The reason why he said five years later was because it was no secret that the Navy had decided to start the construction of battleships after 1925, and even Yang Qiu personally wrote to Hanyang, Chongqing, and Zhengzhou subsystem suppliers after the launch of the Taiwan Island, and it is said that he secretly sent thousands of boxes of materials from unknown sources by truck, asking them to prepare the subsystems needed to build first-class battleships.

In addition to the two, Cai Jimin was also invited to play together. Although the domestic economy has been growing at an annual rate of 7 percent in recent years, disasters have caused hundreds of thousands of unnatural deaths. What's more, the northwest has just stabilized, Urumqi has already been included in the plan of the northwest industrial center, and the financial industry will soon be opened to foreign capital, and he is 10,000 reluctant to fight.

So when he heard Li Yuanhong speak, he couldn't help but say: "If the Japanese navy goes south with all its might, the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled Dutch soldiers in the East Indies may be finished before the British army arrives." If something happens in Nanyang, the Chinese will definitely bear the brunt. The Ministry of Finance has been contacting Chinese businessmen in Nanyang recently, hoping that they will keep their money in China, and they will not be able to do so when the time comes. ”

The two of them were worried that they couldn't fight on the left and on the right, as if Nanyang was about to fall into war. Yang Qiu couldn't say it clearly, so he had to smile: "The Nanhai survey ship reported that the location of the oil field is on the edge of the Strait of Malacca in Sumatra, only 200 kilometers away from Singapore. As a joke, when the oil field is built, passing ships will be able to see it with their eyes. I want to hide it, but others don't believe it! Weng Wenhao also said that there is only one place near the oil field that is suitable for building a deep-water port, 21 kilometers from the oil field, and that a railway and oil pipeline need to be laid.

I think that since we can't hide it, we should simply be generous, so that Britain and the United States will recognize the fact that we have entered the international energy market! People's hearts are like this, when you first came, you didn't even feel better, if you really want to admit it, just turn a blind eye, and it will be smoother to go to other places in the future. In the past, we used the European war to enter the international market passively, after the war, how many industries have you seen being beaten back? Since we are going to go abroad after all, it is better to make a big fuss and let the whole world know that we are coming. ”

Cai Jimin and Li Yuanhong also felt that these words made some sense, but the Japanese factor never reassured them. The faces of both of them were secretly looked at by Yang Qiu, although he knew that the earthquake in Japan was in the past few days. But how can I remember the exact time, so think about it and say, "Don't worry, Japan doesn't have a chance!" He will also send people to visit and talk about Sino-Japanese friendship. ”

"Visiting? He also talked a lot about Sino-Japanese friendship! Is this a joke? ”

There were some things that Yang Qiu couldn't explain, but fortunately, at this time, Wang Anlan came to report that the American commercial representative Hangel had arrived, and finally diverted the topic for the time being.

Hangel is now a busy man, and after the full entry of American capital into China, many companies need to adapt to Chinese laws and regulations, and also refer to factors such as population and industry. So he suddenly became a sweet spot in the eyes of American businessmen. Yang Qiu hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was much more energetic than during the Silver Crisis, wearing glasses and glowing red. But it's also because of the mustard at the time of the crisis. The two had a lot of differences, so Hanger saluted Li Yuanhong and Yang Qiu according to diplomatic etiquette.

"My dear old friend, I heard you've been busy lately. I wonder if you're interested in doing business? Yang Qiu got straight to the point, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness of the past. But Hanger was suspicious, because he still didn't know what Yang Qiu and Jacob said that day, and they could force the other party to give up the victory. You must know that that time was the only time Yang Qiu was at a loss in his memory, but he didn't expect it to turn the tables in just one conversation.

Moreover, he always felt strange that Yang Qiu was so simply opening up foreign capital, but after the contract was turned over, except for the clause that "the government of the Republic of China has the right to directly increase the shares to continue to operate or redeem the entire project if there are more than one year of operating difficulties, resulting in the inability to continue to perform the contract, etc." And it's not a loophole. Will the American consortium have no money to continue operating? Isn't that a joke!

So when I heard that I was going to do business again, I immediately thought of the Sumatra oil field that had been in a lot of trouble in the past few days, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on my forehead, and asked, "Your Excellency is talking about the Sumatra oil field?" Standard Oil is really interested in taking a stake, I wonder how much you are willing to put forward? ”

"Oilfield?" Yang Qiu deliberately looked at Li Yuanhong and Cai Jimin. Pretending to be surprised: "Do we have a plan to sell the oil field?" ”

Hanger has a black line, do you have any plans to sell it will you not know? This is pretending to be confused and deliberately avenging the last time, so he simply spread his hands: "Not oil?" What's that business that deserves your involvement? Do you want to go to Mexico to continue oil extraction? ”

"Good advice, it's a pity that Mexico is too far away." Yang Qiu smiled and glanced at Cai Jimin, who hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Hangel." China wants to build a new petrochemical plant in the North Sea Port, with an annual processing capacity of 5 million tons per year, and also hopes to introduce equipment for the processing of downstream products from the refinery. ”

Hanger understood that Yang Qiu wanted to use orders for oil smelters and downstream processing equipment to eliminate the United States' peep into Sumatra's large oil fields. To be sure, a refinery with a capacity of 5 million tonnes of oil per year and a total investment of $100 million in downstream equipment is not very cost-effective compared to the Sumatra oil field, in which the Chinese government requires foreign investment in energy companies. But on the other hand, no matter how big the Sumatra oil fields are, in fact, the temptation for the United States is not to the extent that it is necessary to grab them, Mexico and Venezuela are the prey of Standard Oil, and supporting Yang Qiu's oil exploration in the South Seas can also hit the Anglo-Dutch Shell, seize the Chinese and Asian markets, and weaken the international competitiveness of the British.

"I had to have a 65% stake to convince them not to meddle."

Yang Qiu nodded and agreed, other refineries under construction in China are wholly owned by China or 51% controlled by the government, which is greatly less attractive to the United States and foreign capital, so it is no problem to give more this time. said: "Before our country can not be completely self-sufficient in energy. ”

"You can rest assured that oil and energy are important industries, and we will respect your country's requirements and all products will be the first to meet China's needs." After dealing with Yang Qiu for a long time, how could Hanger not know Yang Qiu's fancy for energy and oil, thinking about it and asking: "By the way, that clause that has been difficult for more than a year." ”

"Write it in!" Yang Qiu did not hesitate, he was still waiting for the big acquisition at that time.

Hanger shook his head and smiled bitterly, at this moment Yang Qiu in his eyes was like a stubborn child, it seemed that waiting for the United States to go bankrupt was impossible! So I didn't refuse, nodded and agreed. After discussing the general details, he was just about to ask Yang Qiu how to deal with the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company, when a two-wheeled military motorcycle that had recently emerged in Europe and the United States suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Hanger had adapted to Yang Qiu's habit of being fashionable in everything, and believed that he would get a full set of techniques from Germany to imitate, so he avoided half a step and watched the officer run over. It was Bai Chongxi who came to report the news, and when he saw Li Yuanhong's feet together: "President, commander-in-chief." Report of the Nanhai Hydrographic Survey Vessel! This morning, Dutch soldiers entered the oil field on the grounds of incomplete formalities and demanded that our survey team leave! ”

"This little overlord really dares to do it." Before Li Yuanhong finished sighing, Bai Chongxi went on to say a bigger news!

"Also, I just got the news that there was a rare earthquake in Japan half an hour ago!"

"Rare, rare earthquake?!" Cai Jimin stumbled under his feet and almost rolled down the stone steps. Looking at Yang Qiu's eyes again, it was indescribable, just like seeing Liu Qingtian, who was like a god, calling for wind and rain, and slaying dragons for thousands of miles......
