In this era, no one could have imagined that the annual production capacity of this oil field in Kuwait would reach more than 70 million tons in later generations.

However, this is not surprising, after all, this oil field is also the second largest oil field in the world in later generations, and it is impossible that the production will be small. Of course, considering the exploitation technology of the current era, it may take a long time to reach the level of future generations, and at the same time, it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources―――――― which may not be necessary, after all, usually this kind of oil field is the highest production capacity when it is just discovered, and there is no need for any good equipment at that time, just need to drill the oil field, and the rest is just to watch the oil spew out.

Just like those oil fields in Mexico, the oil wells that Yan Shao discovered in Tampico back then basically belonged to such a situation. In particular, several relatively large oil wells discovered at that time could almost be said to be the oil wells with the highest production capacity at that time as long as they were drilled and stopped.

As the second largest oil field in later generations, the oil field in Kuwait seems to be the same situation, although there is no way to compare with later generations, but at least compared with Mexico at the same time.

Naturally, the production capacity of more than 70 million tons is certainly not comparable with that of the United States. After all, the United States is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop oil, and at the same time, the land area of the whole country is relatively large, and it is particularly important that many of the oil-producing areas in the United States during this period were actually obtained from Mexico. Naturally, things are much simpler.

But!

There is another point that needs to be paid attention to, that is, although it is more than 70 million tons, there is certainly no way to compare with the current production capacity of the United States. However, as mentioned earlier, the so-called more than 70 million tons is actually only the output of such an oil field.

And not the whole of Kuwait, after all, although Kuwait is not very large, it cannot have only one oil field.

In fact, in later generations, Kuwait's crude oil production capacity can be said to be very high, almost every year can reach more than 150 million tons. It can almost reach the level of Americans in this period, and even more than half of it.

Naturally, it is not easy to perform at this level. But even Americans are the same. At least in the last 50 years, the Americans have never been able to come up with a shale oil revolution that has suppressed oil prices, so the plans of the Nationalist government will naturally become much smoother.

At least with these oil fields. The government will be able to do many things that it could not do in the past

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Money. It's all money..."

Not far from Kuwait's oil fields, looking at the oil wells being drilled there and the oil being loaded into oil barrels, the governors of Kuwait's provinces were full of emotion in their eyes.

Some of the attachés who followed Wang Xingnian's side naturally followed with emotion, but while sighing, their eyes looking at Wang Xingnian were a little weird.

As the governor of Kuwait, it is certainly impossible for Wang Xingnian not to know the true secrets of Kuwait. In fact, this matter is not less known. At least the commanders of the garrisons in the Middle East, as well as the governors of several provinces, know the inside story.

They are all well aware. Why the hell would the Nationalist government occupy a province that seemed to have nothing but sand? At the same time, they know very well in their hearts how important this place is to China. At the same time, if the true situation here is leaked before the conclusion of the Washington Treaty, what will be the price to be paid by the Commune government?

They are very clear about this qiē, so whether it is Wang Xingnian or others, in addition to dealing with daily government affairs, the biggest job is to discuss how to completely keep the secrets here, because only in this way can this place be completely safe.

Otherwise, even if the great powers are unlikely to attack blatantly, at least it will be okay to find some trouble. Not to mention anything else, it is entirely possible to support some resistance groups, or even simply get some so-called bandit troops to cross the border to make trouble.

At least according to the information obtained by the Secret Service, more than one country has already sent spies into the Kuwaiti and Iraqi provinces in order to find out what happened. As for bandits and robbers, it's really not a big deal.

Yes, both Kuwait and Iraq are deserts. And even during the original Ottoman Turkish Empire, the security here was not particularly good, but one thing is certain, that is, the Ottoman Empire was the Ottoman Empire, and now it is now.

The original Ottoman Turkish Empire was corrupt and incompetent, and there were many so-called bandits and robbers, who were in fact most likely the work of the government army themselves. In this way, even if the Ottoman Empire is full of bandits, it will not be easy to exterminate them―――――― because the government army must not be able to exterminate themselves. Conversely, even if the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire were aware of this, they would not have reacted much, for the simple reason that these regions were secondary to them, and even if they were not inhabited by pagans, they were not necessarily the same as the mainstream sects, so there would be more trouble.

The Turks were able to carry out massacres against pagan Armenians, and they were not necessarily much kinder to people of different sects. This is clear to anyone, so the government's army pretending to be robbers or something, may have been a very tolerant thing in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Turkish Empire―――――― at least they didn't rob it directly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

This situation of not being a family directly led to most of the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and the evil was never stopped.

But the Commune government was different, and it was supposed to be a conqueror's Commune government. There are only two routes to take, one is to go to the upper class, that is, to unite the local upper class. Tong guò encircled them to secure his rule in these new territories.

Although Mesopotamia has experienced quite heavy fighting in the past few years, the upper class here has not been affected―――――― at least not much, isn't there a saying that nobles are more respected than commoners wherever they go.

This phrase seems to be from the European side, but the reverse is also true. That is, even if the rich change places, even in the era of war, they are still better off than the poor.

This. is the reality, even when fleeing the famine, the rich have a lot more chance of survival than the poor―――――――――― at least even if there is no food, just the fat of the rich. It can also keep them going for a long time.

It's also because of this relationship. Despite the fighting in Mesopotamia over the past few years, the rich have lived well. Moreover, such people are usually very influential and influential in the local area, and if they are encircled, at least they can be ensured that there will be no major problems in the local area, and if they can cooperate, then the rule of the national government in the local area can be foolproof.

There is another way, and that is to take the civilian route. The guò engulfed the common people to ensure the rule of the national government in the region. There is also the cooperation of these ordinary people, basically as long as these ordinary people cooperate, then the rest is easy to say.

But this one, there are some flaws.

First of all, those rich people, although many of them are patriots, can sacrifice their own qi qi for the country, but in the same way, the rich are also more likely to covet what they have at the moment. Imagine that you are already very rich, and your life can be used to enjoy it next, so why should you abandon a qiē for the sake of the so-called country, is it really worth it?

It may seem worthwhile to some, but it is not worth it in the eyes of many, and usually, the more favorable the conditions, the more likely there is to be this. Not just because of the temptations of life, but also because of concerns. After all, there is a large family, the family is big, the goal is big, if you are not careful, but the whole family will suffer.

On the other hand, there is nothing for the common people, there is nothing anyway, plus there will be no shortage of hot-blooded young people who are easy to be inflated in any era, and when the time comes, as long as they greet them at will, there will naturally be many people who cannot come and have nothing, to work for the country that has never loved them at all―――――― of course, there will also be some people who are fighting for the slogan of independent nation-building, and usually, many such people will emerge.

It's just that, under normal circumstances, whether this kind of person can succeed or not is really difficult to say.

After all, in many cases, what these demagogic young people bring to their country is not necessarily national freedom or anything like that, but it may be disasters and wars, endless wars.

At least Yan Shao once remembered that there was once a group of people in his own land who continued to fight for the slogan of republic, and as a result, even after more than 30 years, the country still did not stop the war, and even at the most critical juncture, it never achieved a reunification.

On the contrary, later, it seems that a relatively republican regime has achieved unity and independence, and the country has stabilized ―――――― natural, there must be some twists and turns, but even if the twists and turns are big, at least it is much stronger than the original era that has been war-torn for many years.

After all, you must know that when China became independent in 1911, it already had a population of more than 400 million, but by the time of 199, China's population was in a state of stagnancy, and in more than 30 years, the population growth was almost none.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, at that time, the national and social governments, especially the local governments, could almost be said to have only two options to choose from, one was very simple, that is, to unify the upper echelons and take the upper route.

This seems to be normal and commonplace, at least in many countries. For example, countries such as Britain and France, in their colonies, usually only have contact with those influential people, have you ever seen these gentlemen have contact with those ordinary colonies below the low race?

No. I am afraid that there will not even be much contact, and in their opinion, those are the people who should serve them.

However, it may be difficult for the government to learn from Europe and the United States.

At least when it came to choosing the course, the upper echelons of the national government were almost in a mess, and they were arguing almost every day. Some choose and support the upper route, while some choose the lower route~

There are quite a few people on either side. It can be said that they have not fallen into disadvantage, and at this time, the problem is placed in front of Yan Shao for Yan Shao to choose.

At the beginning, when he saw these buildings, Yan Shao also had a headache. The benefits of going the upper route are obvious. By encircling these upper echelons, the situation in the local area could be stabilized relatively quickly, and then the rule of the national government in the local area could be ensured.

And if you go the other way, you must know that if you want the upper class to experience their own benefits, it is very simple, give them some benefits, and they will naturally make a wise decision. But if they go down the lower classes, these civilians may not be as easy to talk as the local upper classes.

Eventually, however. Yan Shao did not choose an upper-level route that seemed to be able to achieve results in the shortest possible time, but another route that was obviously much more difficult.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao also chose for his own reasons

One of the biggest reasons is that Yan Shao has never forgotten that in his country's history, there have been two political parties competing with each other, one of which is the upper line, and the other is the grassroots line.

Although there was a time when the party that followed the grassroots line encountered many dangers, it was they who won in the end. The reason is simple, because the party that took the upper class at that time was already corrupt and incompetent, not to mention that almost all ordinary people chose to support another party, and even some of the upper echelons supported them.

In this way, things are obvious.

In addition, there is another reason that even if Yan Shao tries to win over those who are powerful and influential in the local area, whether they will appreciate Yan Shao's kindness is probably a matter of knowing.

Even, the biggest possibility is that on the surface, they accept the overtures of the national government, but in fact, they are dragging their feet behind the back, and this situation is very likely to happen.

After all, no one would want to be a slave of the country, not even these high-class people, not to mention that if the Chinese can be driven away, then wouldn't they have a chance?

Stupid people will be there in any era, and in the same way, stupid people will be many, many in any era.

What's more, there will still be some patriots, so no matter what Yan Shao says, there is no way to encompass all the people.

On the other hand, if Yan Shao enveloped those ordinary people, the situation might be much better, and one of the extremely important reasons was that if Yan Shao enveloped those ordinary people, then he only needed to deal with those upper-class people, and if Yan Shao encircled those upper-class people, then what he needed to deal with was a considerable part of the people.

It may seem confusing, but just think about it.

The so-called upper-class people are actually just rich and powerful, and such people are in the minority no matter what country they are in. And in the case of superior force, Yan Shao can easily kill all the so-called upper-level people.

But the words of the people...

With millions of people in a country, Yan Shao can't kill them all, right?

Even if only some of them are killed, considering that they still have a considerable number of relatives and friends, these people will return to the path of hatred, and finally bring a lot of trouble to the national government.

These are almost inevitable things, and later generations of Americans still have no way to completely solve the problem of terrorists, one of the main reasons is not because they have killed too many people, and as a result, there is an endless stream of terrorists, and there is no way to kill them all...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Therefore, Yan Shao needs to change to a new route, a route that is more in line with Yan Shao's ideas, and this route is very simple.

It is to communicate with the lower class people on the one hand, and on the other hand with guò carrots and sticks, so that the upper class people can see the reality clearly, so that the problem is much simpler.

As long as it is encircled, at least the vast majority of civilians, then many problems can naturally be solved. Naturally, this process will be relatively slow, but at least there will be a successful day.

As for those upper-level people, if Yan Shao tries to curry favor with them and entrap them, it may bring some trouble, but if Yan Shao directly lets them see the reality, maybe they will be more disgusted, but they are unlikely to act rashly in a short time.

Then next, Yan Shao only needs to curry favor with the local people, which is much simpler. By the time those upper-level people reacted wrongly and planned to give the National Social Government some good-looking, the National Social Government had already gained a firm foothold in the local area, and those people were no longer so easily instigated by those upper-class people―――――― in the final analysis, such people usually did not have a particularly good reputation in the local area, and the locals might not necessarily get close to them, but because at this time another one who seemed to have a worse reputation came over, it was naturally easy to arouse the disgust of the people.

But if they are given some time and let them see more clearly, even if it is difficult for them to accept it in a short time, at least they will not take the initiative to go to the trouble of the national government.

And for the national government, even if it is just that, it is enough.

Because what the government of the Nation and Society asked for was only three or two years of quiet time. In the past three or two years, the Nationalist government has been able to appease the local people while trying to consolidate its position. In the past, the national government implemented these relatively well.

For example, the problem of bandits and robbers mentioned earlier, these people are of course a trouble for the national government, but for the local people, in fact, the same, so when the national government cracks down on these people, basically you can get the cooperation of the local people.

With the cooperation of the local people, coupled with the aircraft of the aviation unit, as well as the well-equipped and powerful fighting force, far stronger than the original Wehrmacht of the Turkish Empire, it seems that it is not a particularly difficult thing to eliminate those bandits.

Therefore, after the Nationalist government gradually consolidated its sphere of influence, that is, its current territory, it began to carry out the task of clearing and suppressing it, and through the information obtained by the Guò Special Affairs Bureau, it was very smooth to exterminate at least forty percent of the robbers and bandits in the sphere of influence within a month.

Most of the rest were slowly exterminated in the following months, which made the local people feel the life of good law and order. In particular, the national government respects the local religion and is willing to do justice for the local people, at least not allowing the rich to bully the people for no reason.

In this way, although in a short period of time, a considerable number of people are advocating not to believe in the national government, which is actually a deceptive illusion, but there are still many people who choose to stop resisting, at this time, coupled with a series of tax exemption policies promulgated by the national government, so that people who were originally living under the oppression of the Turkish Empire are very difficult, after feeling the sweetness, they will choose the national government.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Nowadays, it cannot be said that there is not even a single resistance element in the whole of Turkey, but in the case of the general environment, even these resistance elements will not be able to make any tricks.

After all, without the cooperation and cover of the local people, ordinary resistance elements are no match for the well-equipped and well-trained Wehrmacht, and in many cases, it is even the local people who guide the Wehrmacht to eliminate them...

It can be seen that even these people may not have a good impression of them. (To be continued......)
