    Chapter 684 The Founding of Saudi Arabia (16)

    Shi Xiaolou and Wu Peifu knocked on the door of Yue Peng's office and found that there was no movement inside. They thought he was gone and were about to turn around when they suddenly saw Chen Shaokuan coming towards them.  The navy stole the show this time, using a destroyer to arouse strong support from all over the country. In addition, the 21st Fleet restrained dozens of British warships in the Indian Ocean, which forced the British Royal Navy to be unable to blockade Malacca with all its strength.  It is said that all walks of life in the country are dissatisfied with the Navy for still using old destroyers built by the United States before the European War. They think this is a typical irresponsible behavior towards soldiers. They say that a big country should have a big navy. For this, even the Finance Committee of Congress was scolded.  .  So this time the government and Congress are working together to allocate funds again to allow the navy to completely eliminate old warships.

    The army was a little bit bumpy.

    After the war in Europe, national resources began to be tilted towards construction, and the military has been tightening its belt.  None of the army's dozens of divisions are fully staffed. The main work is focused on training, non-commissioned officer training, military mobilization doctrine and other reforms. That's why Yang Qiucai created the Blue Sword Brigade to polish the troops because he is afraid that the troops will be abandoned.  But while the army eats porridge, the sea and air continue to feast and feast.  Needless to say, the Air Force is the palm of the hand of the president. It costs tens of millions every year just to build aviation schools, train pilots and reserve technology. Recently, it has even tendered for more than a dozen types of aircraft at once.  The navy is even worse. From destroyers to battleships, there are warships under construction on the docks along the coast at all times.  Recently, because the tonnage limited by the treaty has been reached, it has begun to build logistics warships again. It is said that a type of warship called a landing ship is also being planned.

    But having said that, unlike the Army, the Navy can quickly complete its expansion as long as it has enough grassroots non-commissioned officers. It usually takes three or four years for the Navy to lay down the keel and turn a single ship into an army. Coupled with technical and tactical training, within five or six years  Training cannot create combat effectiveness at all.  It would take at least one to twenty years for a navy to complete its renewal, so they, the army officers, could only hold their noses and admit it.

    So when he saw Chen Shaokuan¡¯s face beaming with joy, Shi Xiaolou, who was always outspoken, couldn¡¯t hold it back and said with a smile: ¡°Houfu looks good today. It seems that Xu Xiujun spent a lot of money, right?¡±

    Chen Shaokuan is a typical British naval admiral who is rigorous and devoted to the navy.  Although there are also grievances against the Army, the Navy has gained momentum recently, with strong support from all over the country, and many outstanding college students have chosen to join the Navy.  So he was not affected at all, and even laughed deliberately: "Brother Xiaolou is jealous, right? In fact, there are only a few small sampans, which cannot be compared with the expansion of your army."

    "Okay! I think Houfu, your face is about to catch up with the city wall. You are the only one who calls a 10,000-ton warship a small sampan." Wu Peifu glared and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

    "Both each other, haha." Chen Shaokuan was not ashamed but proud. He laughed and accepted the "praise", turning into a hedgehog that made people unable to eat.  Wu Peifu could only scratch his head and smile bitterly at this. Since the beginning of Sa Zhenbing, this group of navies have been acting like birds.  But when Shi Xiaolou heard the last sentence, he asked in surprise: "The army is going to expand? Why didn't I hear about it?"

    "It was decided a few days ago when we were in Yunnan. The Soviet Union's military grew rapidly last year, so the president requested that the 1st and 2nd divisions be changed to armored divisions, and two more infantry divisions be added." After Chen Shaokuan finished speaking, he continued to ask: "  By the way, why don¡¯t you go in?¡±

    ¡°I knocked on the door, but it seemed like there was no one.¡±

    "How could it be? I just called and asked." Chen Shaokuan walked up and knocked hard a few more times, and finally a sound came from inside.  After opening the door, the three of them saw that Yue Peng was concentrating on looking at something. He pointed to the sofa without even raising his head: "Sit down first and pour yourself some water. I'll be ready in a minute."

    Shi Xiaolou and Yue Peng were comrades who fought together. Seeing him frowning and concentrating, he was secretly surprised. In addition to always ignoring politics, this current pillar of the National Defense Force has almost turned into another Yang Qiu.

    After Yue Peng raised his head after reading the document, he realized that Shi Xiaolou was also there, and said in surprise: "Xiaolou? When did you come back?"

    Shi Xiaolou chuckled. This guy really didn't care about anything except the military. He smiled and said: "My Chief of General Staff, didn't you come back to me for this?" Yue Peng then remembered that he had generated electricity a few days ago.  Reporting the matter of asking him to come back, he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I'm so busy. What's going on over there in India? Has Chandra done anything about our negotiations with the UK?"

    After taking over the affairs of the Asian Liberation Movement, Shi Xiaolou has been secretly manipulating the matter in Yunnan, so even Wu Peifu and Chen Shaokuan pricked up their ears. It was a critical moment for the negotiations, and whether Chandra cooperated was extremely critical.

    Shi Xiaolou cleared his throat and said: "It's very chaotic! After Chandra led his troops to attack Dhaka and Calcutta, the troops have expanded to more than ten thousand. I have ordered people to send another batch of guns and ammunition. The Military Intelligence Bureau also searched the two places.  All the banknotes, cash and weapons were left to him, and now the momentum is rising! The attack may not be possible.?, but it is no problem to have the North Korean battalion to help protect itself. It depends on whether it can develop in the past few years.  Now radicals within the Congress Party and young people from all over India are contacting him one after another, all wanting to join the Independent Commission of India.  This incident made Nehru very angry, saying that he was deliberately splitting the Congress Party. A few days ago, he convened a Congress Party Congress to expel him from the party!  "

    "Haha, this Nehru really dares to take action."

    "Yeah, we didn't expect Nehru to actually fire him. But that's good, at least Chandra will rely on us more. Chen Guofu has sent a national socialist working group to help him reorganize the party, and the Security Bureau has also infiltrated  Yes." Shi Xiaolou lit a cigarette and continued: "After Nehru expelled Chandra, he got together with the British. The British also hoped to use his hand to eliminate Chandra. Add the Muslim League and gc international haha  , all in one pot of porridge."

    Everyone wants to see chaos in India, because the more chaos there is, the less energy Britain has to deal with China.  Although Chen Shaokuan was very happy in his heart, he still sighed: "You guys think, why does the president still want peace talks in such a good situation? If forced, Britain may not make big concessions." This is something Shi Xiaolou can't think of.  I understand. After years of hard work and so much effort for today, the result is still peace talks. It¡¯s strange that there is no resentment in the army.

    Even he was full of resentment: "Addu Island Reef is not as big as Natuna, and there is a serious shortage of fresh water. Even if we don't want Britain, we are ready to give up. If we can't get Malacca and the Sunda Strait, what's the use of an isolated island?"  Garrisoning troops is just empty talk. If there is another conflict, how can we send troops there if there is no waterway?"

    "That's right. There are tens of millions of tons of oil every year, and people are always worried if it's under their noses." Wu Peifu is not good at words, but he has a deep understanding of the importance of oil, especially as more and more equipment requires gasoline.  Later, I was also worried about being cut off again.

    Seeing the three people muttering and complaining, Yue Peng was secretly amused. He pulled something out from under the pile of documents and threw it to the three of them: "Take a look at this first."

    The three people were stunned by the words "Top Secret" on the cover, and they quickly opened it and took a closer look.  This was a top-secret report on domestic oil field survey results, but before he could finish it, Chen Shaokuan suddenly opened his mouth and jumped up, asking in surprise: "When did this happen?"

    "Last August, Huachen Petroleum Company invited Li Siguang and other geology professors to investigate and discovered that the blowout was obvious after the first drilling well was drilled. According to the calculation of gas** volume, the reserves will not be much smaller than Sumatra!"

    "So big!" Not to mention the navy, which is a big oil user, even Shi Xiaolou and Wu Peifu jumped up.  None of them expected that a large oil field no smaller than Sumatra had been quietly discovered in China!  Yue Peng took back the top-secret documents with a smile, and his expression gradually became serious: "You guys, still don't understand this game! Do you know why Henderson came? Do you really think they are afraid of us? No! It's because they have discovered the mistake. This Over a period of time, the Security Bureau has received information one after another about people spying on my country's oil refining, which shows that the UK has basically grasped my country's oil production and knows that our current oil field production cannot keep up with the country's growing consumption and relies heavily on external oil.

    But they never imagined that we had discovered a large oil field!  According to Professor Li Siguang's prediction, if such a large oil field is properly developed, it is absolutely guaranteed to produce 20 to 30 million tons per year.  Therefore, our country will be able to get rid of the oil shortage problem in three to five years at most.  The reason why the president did this is just to show off his weakness and make the UK mistakenly think that he has actually got us choked!  "

    The three of them are not ordinary people, and they soon understood.  It turns out that Yang Qiu had known about the new oil field before the Saudi crisis, and the reason why he continued to launch the campaign was entirely to make the weakness of "oil shortage" known to the whole world, and to make people mistakenly believe that China needs overseas oil to further develop.  The British did not understand at first, so they fought hard. It was not until after investigation that they found out that they had already blocked China's neck. At this time, it was not worth taking the risk of losing India and Singapore to Yang Qiu.  !

    It's like you put a knife on the enemy's neck. The enemy will look at your face and act every moment, but you give up on yourself and attack them with an axe. The British are very smart and would never do this.  .  As long as the Malacca Strait and Sunda Strait are guaranteed, and India's stability is guaranteed, the Chinese navy can be shut down in the South China Sea, and it will never escape the clutches of Britain in this life!

    This kind of method, this kind of scheming!  It made all three of them feel chills running down their spines.

    "This is the news just sent back from Moscow." As if he was ready to enlighten everyone, Yue Peng took out another document: "A few days ago, Tukhachevsky proposed at a military meeting to take action against India and Persia as soon as possible.  , to obtain the Indian Ocean outlet to prevent being surrounded by us. Although it was finally suppressed by Stalin, judging from some details, this plan may not be shelved."

    ¡°So, if someone threatens the oil field, the clause that automatically garrison troops is actually to protect against the Soviet Union, and adding 2 divisions is enough.?.  "Shi Xiaolou figured it all out. A Saudi crisis first made the world mistakenly believe that China's oil lifeline was in the hands of the United Kingdom, made the Soviet Union worry about being completely surrounded, and narrowed the relationship between China and the United States to extract billions of funds. Finally,  It has once again intensified the contradiction between the old and new worlds!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Oh my God!

    ¡°Is it possible for people to figure out the current complex international relations so accurately and lay out so many twists and turns in the crisis?  The Soviet Union is now going all out to build the country, but when its strength returns to a certain level, it will inevitably hold high the gc** banner and seek a breakthrough. When millions of Soviet troops go south, who else but China, which owns Andijan and can radiate throughout Afghanistan?  Can we fight the Soviet Union?

    By then, the UK will probably cry and beg the National Defense Forces to take action!  In this way, we can legitimately march into the Persian Gulf, and the ultimate goal is to completely solve the century-old border troubles!  Swallow the Soviet permafrost area east of the Yenisey River!  Split Central Asia!  By opening up the Persian Channel, perhaps we can also imagine the Suez Canal, and even dominate Asia?

    "There will be a war in Persia in 2 years at the earliest and 5 years at the latest! So, it's time for us to prepare." Yue Peng smiled, raised his head and looked at the majestic mountains like a crouching dragon outside the window, and whispered: "  Who can understand the heart of the president? His dream is probably to let this crouching dragon rise to the top of the sky again."

    Although the voice was soft, it shook the shoulders of the three people present!  But when he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

    Zhang Xiaozhun rushed in with a flushed face, hoarse and clenched his fists in excitement: "Zian, good news! Two destroyers of the Japanese Navy entered the port of East Timor, saying that a soldier disappeared while on vacation there, and they have called Portugal to demand the handover of the murderer!".
