In the otherwise barren Kuwait, a large number of trucks are coming and going. At the same time, the port was originally relatively clean, but now it is full of ships from all over the world. Of course, the ships that came from China definitely accounted for the vast majority of these ships...

In addition to these ships, a large number of job postings followed.

The simple message was that in order to build a pipeline from the oil fields to the port, Kuwait's provincial authorities would need to recruit a large number of young and strong laborers.

Naturally, in the process of recruitment, the Kuwaiti province will certainly take into account the interests of these workers. It can even be said that in order to be able to recruit enough laborers, the provincial government has given very good treatment.

It is not surprising, after all, the most important task of the current national government in Kuwait is to find a way to collect the hearts of the local people, that is, to bring the hearts of the local people into the arms of the national government, so that they can find a way to get close to the national government, which is probably the most important task of the current national government.

This is especially important today, when a large number of oil resources have been discovered.

After all, even if they don't have the ability to get rid of the rule of the national government, if they really want to make some trouble for you, they still have the ability.

And for the current national government, he is worried about nothing else, but precisely the trouble that makes people have a headache. So even to avoid trouble, the national government will ask local governments not to adopt discriminatory policies against indigenous peoples.

Of course, not much preference will be given―――――― in fact after the occupation of new territories. There has also been a suggestion to give some additional benefits to the indigenous people of some new territories to speed up their reluctance, and this proposal can be said to have been approved by many.

But. In Yan Shao's opinion, it is too unfair to do this, after all, there are still many ethnic groups in the country, and these people have not received a single benefit, while those who have just joined China have not been able to make any contributions not long after joining, and they have received a lot of benefits. It's so unfair.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that it can be done for a long time. The results are great, but in the long run, there are many harms and no benefits. Among other things, the adoption of such discriminatory measures. It's easy to spoil these aborigines.

Because after a long period of preferential treatment. It is easy for them to think of themselves as superior to others, and whenever the government wants to cancel this kind of preferential treatment, they will jump out and make a big fuss, but the government has no way to take care of these people's feelings, after all, not every government has the courage to solve this problem.

In Yan Shao's era, the nation of few books. In particular, the reason why the more special ethnic groups were able to cause so many things was even because of this. And is there impunity, isn't it because of this kind of discriminatory measures, which are very different?

Originally, they were all the same people, the same Chinese, but because of the government's practices, there was a big difference between the two sides, and then those young people began to see themselves as one level higher than the Han people.

This situation is not much in other ethnic groups, but it is very conspicuous in so many special ethnic groups. Even when some people of these nationalities began to degenerate into thieves, and even after forced buying and selling and robbers, they were also fearless, anyway, if they were really caught, they would simply rob them, even if they were caught in the police station, with the identity of a young citizen, they could solve many problems.

It's a big deal to call all the people from the same village, and then surround the police station, so that the Han people inside will naturally feel scared―――――― for those special Shaomin, this is almost a habitual thing.

Of course, this is not to say that these nations are really all bad people.

Like a line from a later game, I have seen the most despicable humans, and at the same time the noblest orcs.

No matter what kind of nationality it is, there will also be such a thing as scum, and this is true of any nation, even if it is the Han nationality. The key is that this kind of preferential treatment can easily pamper people who are preferential treatment, and eventually lead to their indulgent and hard-working personalities, as well as some unhealthy tendencies.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this preferential treatment that those special peoples are very prone to degenerate.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

With the lessons of later generations, how could Yan Shao still want to do such a stupid thing in history? The rest of the matter seems to be relatively simple, although the national government does give some preferential treatment to the locals, but basically the preferential treatment they have, in fact, the domestic also owns, if you have to say, that is, when the preferential treatment, the national government is relatively more powerful than when it was first established.

This is not surprising, after all, the current national government is definitely not comparable to when it was first established, and the gap can be said to be very large, and the support that the national government can give in this case will naturally increase a lot.

As for other aspects, the Nationalist Government has not given any differential treatment, and this is still clear to Yan Shao.

However, Yan Shao has also strictly ordered the local government not to discriminate against each other because these are new territories, and the new territories are all some former aborigines, or treat each other as slaves in the colony, they must treat each other as their own compatriots!

In fact, in the beginning, there were a lot of people who were a little unaccustomed to it. There are even some who have learned from the experience of Britain and France, and really treat the locals as slaves, at least second-class citizens of the colonies.

This kind of thing did cause some trouble, but after the national government dealt with it severely, the resentment of the local people subsided, and the local situation disappeared without a trace.

After all, this is a place that the Nationalist government intends to occupy for the rest of its life. Since it is a lifelong desire, it is naturally impossible not to think about it―――――― as for the future generations, will anyone take the process of the Nationalist government occupying several provinces in the Middle East to find trouble. For example, Ishi here belongs to the locals or something, and this Yan Shao didn't care about it, and he didn't worry about it.

Because Yan Shao is very clear about one thing, that is, in fact, the interests of Americans are not very long.

And judging by the current situation, if you want to get politicians who are loved by other countries to say the above things, it will take at least another fifty years, fifty years.

If someone really asks for an exit. Especially if the Americans are speaking, then Yan Shao's answer is also very simple.

Since you say so about us, why don't you simply return the occupied Indians' lands to the Indians? That's the case. Maybe you can speak louder.

As for what we have occupied North America for more than two hundred years and things like that, what is this? Is there any difference between fifty years and two hundred years, at least for many?

Maybe you think there is, but we don't. For us. The gap of more than 100 years is actually no different from the gap of a year, and since you are asking us to roll out from the Middle East, then at least you should withdraw from North America as well...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Naturally, although Yan Shao really wants to help his descendants arrange everything for the next hundred years, one thing is certain, that is, Yan Shao really has no way to arrange everything, and his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so so. It seems that only they can decide the affairs of children and grandchildren. What Yan Shao and Yan Shao can do is to help them lay a solid foundation for the time being.

In this way, even if something really happens in the future, with these foundations, the national government can live well.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, for a company, it may be very profitable to extract crude oil, but oil refining is also very profitable in this era. Originally, Rockefeller, the world's richest man in history, monopolized the entire North American oil refining industry, and eventually accumulated a very large value.

Then, since Yan Shao plans to make a lot of money on oil, it is naturally impossible to let this go.

So things became simpler, and soon, with the order of the national government, a large number of refineries were being built in some areas along the coast of the Middle East or near the oil fields.

Although these refineries are currently only under construction, no one can doubt that they will be the largest refineries in Asia when completed.

With an annual output of more than 20 million tons, such a large amount of oil was absolutely unimaginable for China in the past.

After all, in the past, the annual production capacity of all oil fields in China, including the Yumen Oilfield, was only more than 10 million tons―――――― and many people may not know, but in fact, China's first oilfield should actually be the Yumen Oilfield.

According to Tang Li Jifu's "Atlas of Yuanhe County", as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, residents in the Yumen and Jiuquan areas used the soil method to extract oil for lighting, lubrication, and leather. This is probably the earliest record related to the Jade Gate. Subsequently, in 1938, the Resources Committee of the Republic of China Government set up the "Preparatory Office of Gansu Oil and Mining Bureau" in Chongqing, the purpose was very simple, that is, to solve the problem of energy, and on August 11, 1939, the first oil well in Yumen was supplied with industrial oil.

At this time, the Yumen Oilfield naturally became the largest and only oil field in China at that time.

One can imagine how important this oil field is to China.

According to later generations, that is, the oil produced by Yumen made special contributions to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.

Of course, since the Yumen oil field was the only place in China that produced oil at the time, it stands to reason that the Japanese would be salivating over it. At least the Japanese seem to be trying to find a way to seize the Jade Gate, after all, for the Japanese who lack oil, the Jade Gate should be a very precious deposit, but why didn't the Japanese do it?

The reason is simple, because the production of the Yumen oilfield is too small.

According to the statistics provided by later generations, the Yumen Oilfield is the first natural oil base in China. Developed in 1939, it has been put into development six oilfields: Laojunmiao, Yaerxia, Shiyougou, Baiyanghe, Shanbei and Qingxi. In the 10 years before liberation, a total of 520,000 tons of crude oil were produced. It accounted for 95% of the country's crude oil production at that time.

How to say it, if you only look at the latter 95%, then this oil field is absolutely very important to China, no matter what you do, the Japanese must try their best to get it, even if you can't get it, at least blow it up―――――― according to the Japanese. Since I can't get it, then you don't want to get it.

In fact, it is very possible, after all, how extreme the personality of the Japanese is. I believe that many people know this. The idea that you would rather destroy what you can't get than give it to others is almost a very common way for Japanese people.

Historically, it is precisely because of this radical thinking of the Japanese. That's why I came up with some kamikaze and something. It's almost crazy enough.

But then again...

If it is really on the verge of extinction of the country and the species, such a thing does not seem to be crazy...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, if the Yumen Oilfield provided more than 95% of China's oil during the Anti-Japanese War, the Yumen Oilfield is absolutely very important to China. Similarly, for Japan, which lacks oil, it is obviously a very necessary object of contention.

But, as mentioned earlier, in the space of ten years. The entire Yumen Oilfield only provides 520,000 tons of crude oil.

520,000 tons? This may sound like a great number, but it's actually not great at all. After all, the so-called 520,000 tons of crude oil. It's only 3.6 million barrels.

36,700,000 barrels...

Well, in fact, this number is not very small, at least for an ordinary person, maybe he will not be able to use up so much crude oil in his life.

But for a country, this amount of oil is too little.

After all, more than 3 million barrels of oil, in later generations, will basically only be equivalent to Kuwait's exports in one day. It's just a day, it's just a day...

In the space of ten years, this amount of oil has been produced, and it is no wonder why the Japanese have no interest here. Because it is simply impossible to meet the needs of the Japanese, it can even be said that the gasoline wasted from the Japanese-occupied area to Gansu is far beyond the production capacity of this oil field for ten years.

How could the Japanese possibly do such a loss-making deal?

So, a qiē has actually been decided a long time ago...

However, in any case, since the Yumen Oilfield can appear as the earliest oilfield in the country, then at least one thing is certain, that is, the difficulty of Yumen Oilfield should be very low, which is also a very important point for the fledgling Chinese oil industry.

After all, for the oil industry, they have never had any experience of extracting oil in the past, and in this case, a very simple and very fast oil field like Yumen Oilfield has become a very good choice for them.

It should be noted that before the historical Daqing Oilfield was developed, the Yumen Oilfield was always the largest oilfield in China. An oil field with an output of 520,000 tons in ten years can be called the largest oil field in China, which shows why China will be called an oil-poor country in later generations.

After all, an oil field with a production capacity of more than 500,000 tons in ten years can become the largest oil field in a country as big as China, and the title of oil-poor country is really well deserved―――――― from a certain point of view, there is not much difference between the existence and absence of such an oil field.

However, in this era, although the Nationalist government has discovered the possible location of the Daqing Oilfield, it has not been exploited because of the difficulty of exploitation, but some other oilfields, such as Shengli Oilfield, have been discovered in advance.

It is precisely because of this relationship that China's current oil output has increased from tens of thousands of tons a year to more than 10 million a year. Of course, after all, the production capacity of these oil fields is still not comparable with the world's second largest oil field in later generations, which is why Kuwait has just been developed, and it has surpassed the relationship between all domestic oil fields.

Even the Daqing Oilfield, which was very famous in later generations, may not be able to compare with Kuwait.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Daqing Oilfield is also very good―――――― Daqing Oilfield, is the largest oilfield in China discovered on September 26, 1959, one of the world's top ten oilfields, with an annual output of 40 million to 50 million tons, composed of 48 oil and gas fields of different sizes such as Saltu, Xingshugang, Lamadian and Chaoyanggou, covering an area of about 6,000 square kilometers. The exploration scope mainly includes two major exploration areas in the northeast and northwest, with a total of 14 basins.

It can be seen that the Daqing Oilfield can indeed be called a very large oilfield, but compared with the Kuwaiti oilfield with an annual output of more than 70 million tons, this number is inevitably a cut behind.

It's not too much worse, but the gap can indeed be said to be very different.

Of course, there is certainly no bigger gap with the Yumen Oilfield.
