Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the emperor should maintain his dignity at all times, Wang Yuze laughed excitedly after receiving the telegram sent back from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the estimated reserves information of the Abqaiq Oil Field.  Although Professor Li Boyu and others predicted that the reserves of the Abqaiq Oil Field would be more than one billion tons, Wang Yuze knew that the reserves of this oil field were actually more than two billion tons.

    "Come here, let the Ministry of Industry step up the construction of the oil fields and strive to produce oil as soon as possible. After next year, at least 100,000 barrels of crude oil can be extracted every day!" Wang Yuze ordered.  Oil fields have been discovered, but the oil still needs to be extracted and then smelted into gasoline, diesel and other petrochemicals before it can be converted into money.  Moreover, judging from the current situation, even if the Abqaiq Oilfield can extract 100,000 barrels of crude oil every day, the annual profit will not reach 100 million yuan.  Fortunately, this is just the beginning. There are many other oil fields in the Kazakhstan region. When these oil fields are exploited, China will be able to make a lot of money!

    "Haha, Your Majesty, if such a super oil field can be discovered, the empire's oil consumption will finally be satisfied for a long time!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu also laughed.  The use of oil is becoming more and more important, and it has affected national security.  China's lack of oil has greatly restricted China's military power in this regard.  Now that China can control such a large oil field, at least it doesn't have to worry about being stuck in crude oil.

    "Yes! However, the oil field has been found, and we have to keep it. Other countries are not fools. Everyone can see the importance of oil. Originally, everyone was not very concerned about the deserts in the Middle East.  I don't care. But now, it will truly become a battleground for military strategists!" Wang Yuze said with emotion.  If the Middle East was just a barren land, France, Britain and other countries might not really compete with China, but the discovery of oil and the huge benefits it represented forced them to compete.  Even some countries that have close relations with China may take the opportunity to benefit from it.  If China wants to keep such a large piece of the cake, it will have to put in a lot of effort.

    "Your Majesty, rest assured that we have signed a contract with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. No one can take these oil fields away from us. The Indian Ocean Fleet has already planned to establish a naval base in Dammam, where two heavy cruisers and four ships will be stationed all year round.  A squadron of light cruisers and four destroyers will protect our interests in the Persian Gulf. In addition, the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet will also patrol the route from the Malacca Strait to the Persian Gulf from time to time to protect the safety of sea lanes!" Navy Minister Zhang  Cheng said.  Now all the warships in the Navy are oil-fired boilers, which consume tens of thousands of tons of fuel every day.  If the oil transportation route is cut off, the Navy's warships will be unable to move.  Therefore, no matter what, the navy must protect the oil in the Persian Gulf.

    "Well! Order the 10th Marine Division to enter a state of emergency combat readiness. In addition, allocate two more Marine Divisions to be ready for combat. If something happens, reinforcements can be provided immediately. At the same time, the Fifth Army, the Ninth Army, the General Staff  All directly affiliated troops have also entered Level 2 combat readiness." Wang Yuze ordered.

    Wang Yuze¡¯s tone made everyone¡¯s hearts tighten at the same time. Three divisions of the Marine Corps were ready for combat. At the same time, the Indian Ocean Fleet was also ready for combat. Three armies of the Army were also on combat readiness. This was preparation for a big war!

    "Your Majesty, are they really going to fight a war with us for the Middle East? In addition, we captured the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the main offender is France. Is it too much to mobilize so many troops?" General Staff Officer  Chang Xiongwu said.

    "To deal with the French, the 10th Marine Division alone is enough. However, we cannot rule out whether the British will intervene. After all, the oil in the Middle East is enough to make the British jealous. Therefore, once the British intervene,  If so, we must give them a thunderous blow. The main force of the Fifth Army moves south from Central Asia to attack Persia and Iraq. The Ninth Army moves westward, threatens India and the Marine Corps, and sweeps across the entire Arabian Peninsula. As long as the British dare to move, we  Just cut off his claws completely!" A trace of cruelty flashed in Wang Yuze's eyes.  After the war, China has been somewhat quiet in the past two years.  The British had escaped the quagmire of the Boer War and began to show off their power again.  However, if they dare to set their sights on China, Wang Yuze would not mind killing the British again.  You know, the British colony, the Great Burgan Oil Field in southern Kuwait, is a super oil field with reserves of nearly 10 billion tons, and the Kirkuk Oil Field in northern Iraq is also a super oil field with reserves of more than 2 billion tons. If you can  If these large oil fields are included in the pocket, China will be completely prosperous!

    "Yes, Your Majesty, the General Staff will be ready!" Xiong Wu replied.  Now that Wang Yuze has issued the order, what they should think about is how to?Execute orders and complete tasks better.

    After Wang Yuze issued the order, telegrams were sent from Beijing to all over the world.  Chinese troops in Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East all took action.  The officers and soldiers canceled their vacations and began maintenance of their equipment. Everything indicated that the Chinese corps was already preparing for war. The dark clouds of war seemed to have begun to gather over the Middle East!

    The news that China has discovered a super oil field with reserves of more than one billion tons in the Al-Khasa region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has caused an uproar around the world.  The United States, now the most important oil-producing country, cannot believe this, but it has also affected the price of oil to fall a lot.  Some countries that were waiting to see China's jokes looked very unhappy.  One billion tons of oil, the owner of the family is worth billions. Although it is not yet possible for China to recover the cost, as the world's demand for oil increases and the price of oil becomes higher and higher, China will definitely make a lot of money.  .  Not to mention, the Persian Gulf coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia belongs to China. Who knows if other large oil fields will be discovered?  Countries are extremely jealous of China now!

    The Royal Palace in Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul?  Rahman and Prince Abdul?  Aziz is discussing the situation.

    "Father, I didn't expect oil to be discovered, or an oil field with reserves of more than one billion tons." Abdul?  Aziz's eyes also shone with jealousy.  Of course he knows what this means, it means billions of dollars of wealth!  Before, they thought China was a fool, thinking that China was a big fool for leasing those deserts for 100 million yuan a year, but now it seems that they are the big fool!

    "Aziz, Allah teaches us not to be blinded by greed. Although the reserves of the Abqaiq oil field are more than one billion tons, how much can be extracted every day? Including costs and other factors, the Chinese are  You can't make much money at all from the oil fields, at least not in recent years!" King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia?  Rahman reminded.

    "Yes, father, I understand. However, if other new oil fields are discovered in the Kazakhstan area, the Chinese will be able to make a lot of money. I believe the Chinese must know, otherwise they would not have opened such a  The price is high!" Abdul?  Aziz was still a little unwilling.  Although, the Saudi family has received a lot of benefits from China.  But in his opinion, the oil buried under the desert is the best gift from God to the Arabs.  But now, all these wealth belong to others, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

    "Aziz, do you think that with our strength, we can keep this wealth? If we cannot, this wealth will become the source of disaster. We can get 100 million yuan in rent from China every year.  It¡¯s great not to have to worry about other things. The Chinese have obtained oil, but they have to face challenges from Western powers. Therefore, we don¡¯t need to envy them at all!¡± Abdul?  King Rahman reminded him again.

    "Father, then we will do nothing?" Abdul?  Aziz asked.

    "Yes, we do nothing and let the Chinese compete with the Westerners! Using the rent obtained from the Chinese to develop the Kingdom and improve people's lives is the most important thing!" Abdul?  Rahman said firmly.  He knows very well that due to the discovery of super oil fields, the situation in the Middle East has become more complicated, and this is simply not something that the small Saudi Kingdom can afford. If he is not careful, the Saudi Kingdom will fall to pieces.

    "Yes, father, I remember!" Abdul?  Even if Aziz is dissatisfied, he still has to admit Abdul?  Rahman's words can only bury greed deep in his heart.

    After China discovered a super oil field in the Al-Khasa region, France was the most aggrieved country. They had colonized the Kingdom of Najd for decades, but they never thought that such a thing was actually buried under that desert.  of wealth.  Although France's national power has begun to decline, this does not mean that those in power in France do not understand the meaning behind oil.  This originally belonged to France, but now it has been taken away by China.  This makes countless French people very dissatisfied with this, especially those industrial and commercial capitalists, who continue to build momentum in France and demand that the government take back the Middle East.  Some radical French people even protested in front of the Elysee Palace, demanding that the government declare war on China and fight for oil!  (To be continued.
