After all, there are still a lot of smart people in this world, so many people soon noticed that the reason why the National Government announced the oil matter at such a time was not only because it wanted to slap the British in the face, but more importantly, I am afraid that there is no longer much threat now―――――― of course, wanting to slap the face is definitely one of the main reasons, and it is indeed as Chinese wished, this slapping activity was very successful, and it can almost be described as a snap.

But on the other hand, this also exposes many things, such as why Yan Shao insisted on Kuwait in the first place, and not elsewhere?

In addition, since Kuwait has oil, will other regions also have oil reserves? This is another place that cannot help but be suspicious, after all, Kuwait is such a small place with oil, then at least there is such a possibility in the surrounding area, considering that the Chinese demanded the whole of Iraq at that time, and then expanded the scope to the entire Persian Gulf, this possibility is by no means possible, and may even be high.

In this case, taking into account the amount of oil reserves claimed by the Chinese government in Kuwait, which is even similar to that of Mexico...

How much oil resources should there be in the entire Middle East...

As long as I think of this, I don't know how many people can't help but start salivating...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just think that under the land occupied by the Chinese, there are actually a lot of hidden oil resources. There are many people who can't help but salivate.

At this time, I heard that all of China's oil resources were owned by the state. Naturally, I don't know how many people began to complain that the Chinese government had cut off their financial resources.

Especially those oil merchants, at the beginning, they were very interested, but after learning this, they couldn't help but scold. At the same time, I was also thinking about whether I could do it like Mexico.

Of course, it's just a small thought in my heart. After all, China and Mexico are different.

If it is a small country like Mexico and discovers such a thing, it is natural that the husband is not guilty. The overthrow of successive governments can be said to be a helpless thing.

But today's China is not Mexico, and it can even be said that China and the Americans are really fighting now. It's hard to say which side won. After all, the naval strength of the Americans is certainly relatively strong. However, if you cross the ocean, you will suffer some losses after all, not to mention that the strength of China's navy on the surface may be relatively poor, but the underwater strength is not weak at all.

With the world's largest underwater fleet, wouldn't the Americans just let China's underwater fleet give full play to its advantages?

There is no doubt that although the Americans are stronger than China in industry and navy, they are inferior in the army. After all, China has very large human resources, and there are strong industries that can support them―――――― which is also completely different from its contemporaries. If you talk about China in that era. If so many oil resources are discovered, they will definitely be divided by the great powers, and the Japanese are definitely the most active among them, then now these oils are equivalent to a change of owner, a huge change in the old, weak, sick and disabled, and turned into a dragon...

With more than 100,000 Wehrmacht, strong fortifications, and the strongest military force in the region, no one can shake the rule of the Nationalist government here!

In the same way, whoever wants to take a piece of the pie will have to pay a huge price.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"If a qiē is really what you say, then China will be very difficult to contain..."Getting up from his seat, Wilson walked to the window and quietly looked out of the window, although the scenery outside the window was very charming, but at this moment, Wilson was a little worried.

"Originally, the Chinese were already more difficult, but there were some shortcomings in oil, but now in fact, and we all know the value of oil, in the case of having oil resources, the original Chinese's financial shortcomings are equivalent to being compensated..."

"yes," Roosevelt nodded in agreement as Wilson spoke. To be honest, he actually has a good impression of China, after all, he has a certain connection with China, but on the other hand, he also sees very clearly how much China is a threat to American interests.

If nothing else, just by the ruthlessness of the Chinese against the Russians, one can imagine how they will see other forces in Asia when the Chinese become stronger.

Even according to the intelligence Roosevelt obtained, there has always been such a voice in China that Asia will become the Asia of the Chinese.

This is undoubtedly quite impressive, after all, Asia is arguably the largest continent in the world. Originally, because of the sudden rise of China, the world pattern has changed a lot, if the Chinese come again like this...

Americans, however, have a lot of interests in Asia...

"But..."

While Wilson was sighing over there, Roosevelt said silently in his heart/

"If in addition to Kuwait, even Iraq also has a lot of oil resources, then why didn't the Chinese follow along? Is it because you're worried that you're under too much pressure?! But even so, do the Chinese think that no one else can see some truth from it..."

Roosevelt did not think that in fact, the strangest thing about Roosevelt now was why the Chinese only announced one Kuwait, but not other regions, as far as the current point of view, the biggest possibility is that the Chinese only found oil in Kuwait, but this is obviously contrary to Roosevelt's judgment.

But if you are worried about the pressure, there are many smart people in this world, even if they don't announce it. Isn't it possible that no one else can guess?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, there are two reasons why Yan Shao did not announce it, one of which is just like Roosevelt thought, because he was worried that the pressure from the outside world was too great. After all, China is only one of a few powerful countries. It's not the strongest country yet. If it is announced in one go―――――― you must know that this time Yan Shao is equivalent to discovering a cornucopia, and it is difficult to say that it will not be coveted.

At present, although the Iranian railway is progressing smoothly, it has not yet been completed, and this area is still too far away from the Chinese mainland, and it is difficult for the Chinese government to send reinforcements in time if something really happens.

Case. It is better to simply announce a small part, and as for the rest, it is to take it slowly. In this way, even if many people guess it, it is useless, after all, guessing does not mean that it is confirmed, as long as the national government does not exploit the oil resources. Then no matter how beautiful you guess, it's useless.

Of course. This is just one of the reasons, and there is another reason why Yan Shao did not announce it, that is, he is worried that if it is all announced, the impact on international oil prices will be too great...

Oil prices have always been such a thing, the greater the supply, the lower the value.

After Yan Shao discovered the oil field in Tampico, it was because too much oil was discovered at one time, so the oil prices of the whole world were actually affected―――――― in the original history. Dohanni once discovered an oil well that produced as many as 15,000 barrels (about 2,000 tons) of oil per day. Capital is needed in order to expand production. They invited two oil friends from the United States, Telis and Bennydon, to visit the site. They agreed to buy $500,000 in Petroleos Mexicanos, and Bennedon shrewdly negotiated a contract with Standard Oil in New York to buy him 12,000 barrels per day (about 600,000 mt/year) of Mexican crude oil for 52 cents a barrel.

Soon after, Dohanni's second well was a success, spewing out more than 70,000 barrels of crude oil a day (about 10,000 tons, which is a 10,000-ton well) without control. The well spewed more crude oil in nine days than he had sold in nine years, and by the time the wellhead was contained, the well had produced 90 million barrels (about 12.5 million tons) of crude oil. Dohanni went to Standard Oil to buy his crude oil. This time, Standard Oil offered only 39 cents a barrel, and Dohanni had to accept it. The reason is simple, because only Standard Oil can accept such large quantities of crude oil during this period.

It can be seen that sometimes overcapacity is not necessarily a good thing, of course, even so, a ton of oil is still equivalent to almost three dollars, that is, seven or eight silver dollars.

At the same time, the higher the production capacity of oil, the higher the impact on oil prices.

Yan Shao is smart, after discovering the oil field in Tampico, he directly sold the oil field to the Rockefeller family of Standard Oil, which not only avoided a lot of trouble, but also avoided the problem of income caused by excessive production―――――― anyway, he only needs to sit there and collect money, and nothing else needs to be bothered at all...

The same is true in later generations, because the US government engaged in a shale oil revolution, and at the same time, the economies of countries around the world were not very prosperous at that time, and the result? Because of a relationship between supply and demand, oil prices around the world have plummeted, which can make the Russians miserable, and on the other hand, the oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia are unwilling to reduce production, so...

Oil prices continue to fall.

Of course, the cost of shale oil is higher than that of ordinary oil, so today's oil price is actually lower than the cost for those oil companies engaged in shale oil in the United States, which has led to the bankruptcy of a number of oil companies...

On January 21, 2015, BHP Billiton, the world's mining giant, announced that it would halt 40% of its US shale oil drilling by June 2015. Similarly, France's oil giant Total has also announced that it will shut down shale oil and gas wells in the United States.

Notably, the Standard & Poor's study found that three-quarters of the 100 small and medium-sized shale oil companies in the U.S. are at risk of bankruptcy due to high debt.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is confirmed that due to the lessons of later generations, Yan Shaocai did not announce all the oil locations, after all, Yan Shao's purpose is to make money, not to suppress oil prices.

Nowadays, because of Kuwait, international oil prices have been affected to a certain extent. If a few more are announced, I'm afraid the impact will be even greater...

So, in such a particular case. Announce one first, and then announce some when the international demand becomes larger, anyway, the production areas of these oils are basically under the control of the national government, and there is no need to worry about them running away...

Facts have proved that Yan Shao's strategy is still relatively correct, although the emergence of Kuwaiti oil fields has indeed caused certain fluctuations. However, considering that this period coincided with a period of rising oil demand, it did not cause much volatility.

But on the other hand, the emergence of Kuwaiti oil fields. It also brought some trouble to Yan Shao, whether it was domestic or foreign...

In the past, the Communist government announced that it would nationalize all oil resources. There is not much discussion in China about this. The reason is also very simple. Because at that time, China had not discovered oil at all, and since oil had not even been discovered, there was naturally no need to worry about it.

It can even be said that since China has not yet discovered oil, then the emerging capitalists in China naturally do not need to oppose anything, anyway, there is nothing to do.

But now it's different, although many people in the country don't know much about it. How much impact does an oil-producing country the equivalent of Mexico have? But there are still many people who know about it, at least even in the current primary school history textbooks. They have all told the history of Yan Shaotong Guò who discovered oil in Mexico and then obtained the first bucket of gold to make a fortune...

And those merchants know a little more...

For example, at least they knew that the benefits that Yan Shao could get in a day at that time were even higher than the profits that many of them could get in a year...

This shows how profitable oil is.

Although in this era, there are actually many businessmen who have a conscience and are patriotic, there is no doubt that the vast majority of businessmen still love money more. Especially without harming national interests―――――― at least the vast majority of businessmen do not understand what the nationalization of oil has to do with national interests.

Considering that there was such a large amount of money in front of them, these businessmen soon began to use a series of connections in the country, especially in the political circles, hoping that the government would take back the original decree that the oil resources were owned by the state―――――― at least revoke the one in the Middle East.

I have to say that although the above-mentioned areas are indeed China's territory, and even very regular provinces, which are considered to be at the same level as China, but for this enclave, in fact, the vast majority of Chinese people do not think very much, after all, it is an enclave, and it is also an enclave with only sand, so it is naturally unlikely that the Chinese people will compare them with the provinces in China, and even the provinces of Siberia and Central Asia are stronger than these places.

After all, at least these places mentioned above are directly bordering Chinese territory, unlike Iraq, which is completely enclaves, and no one knows when they will be lost. Not to mention that there are many indigenous people, and unlike the vast and sparsely populated Siberia and other regions, it is considered by many to be a complete enclave.

One of the most important reasons why so few people in the country are willing to move to places like Kuwait is that there is sand everywhere.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Domestic businessmen have demanded that the ban be lifted for their own benefit, and even some government officials are calling for it for their own benefit.

Similarly, in the international community, there are many businessmen who hope that their countries will put pressure on the Chinese government to retract the decree of nationalizing oil resources―――――― although China is now very powerful, but in the eyes of the vast majority of white people, especially those who are arrogant and ignorant, today's China is still not comparable to their noble and cold white countries.

At least in the eyes of many, as long as their own country is pressuring, then the Chinese seem to have no choice but to bow their heads.

Of course, these people can think about it, but the country behind these people can't think like this, after all, no one knows better than them how powerful China is today. However, the political power that these oil merchants have in their hands is also something they don't want to offend, so in the end they still found the Chinese government!

Of course, they didn't put the same direct pressure as the oil traders expected, because they didn't feel that the Chinese government might give in to their pressure.

They used another reason, which is also very simple, that is, they are afraid that because of the Chinese government's ban, other countries may follow suit, which in turn will affect the interests of other countries―――――― such as Mexico.

In fact, during the European War, one of the overthrown Mexican governments really used such an excuse when nationalizing oil resources, and the excuse of the Mexican government at that time was that China nationalized all its oil resources, and there is already a precedent in the world, since this is the case, then we can also do the same...

It's just that this government was not yet in the climate at that time, and China at that time didn't even find the shadow of oil, so that government was naturally overthrown―――――― in fact, even if China had found out, it was useless.

But at this time, it seems that all countries, including the United States, have only one excuse to use. After all, they also need to account for their own financial owners in China! (To be continued......)
