Hearing Dean Zhu say this, Fang Chen suddenly fell into a helpless silence.

After a few breaths, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but show a little disdain, Dean Zhu's words should really make those future generations recognize the thief as their father, feel that Dongwei has done a lot of selfless help to Huaxia, and even think that Huaxia should abandon the hatred of Dongwei to listen carefully.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, especially for capitalist countries, and relying on these aids, Dongwei not only allowed enterprises to knock on the door of China, develop and grow, earn Li Rong, but also obtained a large amount of stable energy.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, if you look at it from the current point of view, it seems that there are some problems, after all, our own oil is a little insufficient, but if you look at it from 20 years ago, it is a correct decision. ”

"In the past, our oil production was higher than our oil consumption, so exporting excess oil production in exchange for valuable foreign exchange should be the point. Not to mention that we can also get some assistance from Dongwa, including capital, technology, and industrial and enterprise management, and some of our products also benefit from each other, and the gradually improving relationship can be exported to Dongwa, no matter how you look at it, it is not a loss-making business. Dean Zhu said.

Hearing this, Fang Chen was slightly stunned, and then pondered carefully, although he was unwilling, he really had to admit that what Dean Zhu said made sense.

If we look at this decision 20 years ago, that is, in 1973, it could not be more correct.

In 1973?

Fang Chen couldn't help but froze.

He suddenly realized that in 1973, Taizu, the general manager, and the commander-in-chief, the three people with high status in China, were still alive, that is to say, such a decision, if not made by these three, was made with the consent of these three.

Even behind this decision, there is the figure of the general manager who has made every effort and done his best, and the general manager does not know how many meetings have been held and how many words have been written for this decision.

After all, according to the general manager's character, it is impossible for him not to ask about these things and not worry about them.

For a while, Fang Chen's heart suddenly felt a little sad, if it comes to hatred for Dongwei, there are probably not many who can compare to these three, but these three can resolutely abandon these hatreds for the sake of the country, the interests of the people, the word "great", they deserve it.

Not caring what Fang Chen was thinking, Dean Zhu continued: "However, since our oil cannot even meet the needs of ensuring our own use, then the export to Dongwei is bound to decrease, but in the final analysis, we must increase our oil supply, safe oil supply. ”

When he said the last sentence, Dean Zhu added an accent.

It is not too difficult to obtain oil, although oil is precious, but there are also many oil-producing countries, especially now that the price of oil is at a low level, there are simply too many countries that want to sell oil to China.

Even exporting to Dongwa is not a problem, it is nothing more than importing crude oil from abroad, and then processing it into refined oil and selling it to Dongwa.

Not only is this not a problem, but you can also earn a processing fee, and then continue to take some subsidies from Dongwei, why not.

But the problem is that it's too hard to get a safe supply of oil, and it's a big problem.

As mentioned before, the oil in the Middle East is basically under the control of the United States, and the Strait of Malacca, through which the oil is transported, is basically under the control of the United States, which means that once the United States intends to target China, then China's oil security cannot be guaranteed, and this is where the real trouble lies.

Of course, not afraid now, China is still a net exporter of oil, but what about the future?

They can't just think about the present and not think about the future, right?

If we don't start preparing now, when Huaxia Petroleum's self-sufficiency rate drops to 10%, 20%, or even 30%, it will be troublesome.

At that time, once the United States cut off China's oil supply, I am afraid that China could not afford the consequences, and even if it did, it would inevitably have to pay a huge price.

After a deep sigh, Dean Zhu looked at Fang Chen intently, and said seriously word by word: "So I want to import some oil from you to ensure the safety of domestic oil." ”

That's why he called Fang Chen over this time and talked a lot about oil.

Comparatively speaking, it is relatively safe to import oil from Russia, and although Russia now has a tendency to turn to the United States, judging from some of what the United States has done to Russia, the United States still has great vigilance against Russia.

After all, the Russians can forget these decades of Cold War confrontation, but the Americans, as the victors, cannot forget it so easily.

They have discussed with some experts in international relations, and there is a high probability that Russia's idea of leaning towards the United States can only be a beautiful woman throwing her eyes at the blind -- a waste of effort.

If the United States does not dismember Russia again into a few, or even a dozen or so small countries, it will not be able to completely trust Russia.

Or to put it another way, as long as Russia can still pose a threat to the United States one day, then the United States will not be able to completely let down its guard against Russia

As for Yeltsin's recent revelation of wanting to join NATO, he can only say that Yeltsin is a fool's dream and his thinking is too simple.

On the surface, after Russia joins NATO, it will become its own people of the United States and Europe, and everyone will no longer have to fight each other, and even Europe and the United States can join hands to help Russia develop its economy.

But the problem is that since the moment NATO was born, its mission has been to eliminate the Soviets, and now the Soviets are gone, but fortunately there is still Russia, so that NATO can barely continue to find the necessity to exist.

If Russia is to be absorbed into NATO, then who is NATO targeting? What is the meaning of existence?

This result is absolutely unacceptable to the United States, which is holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.

If there is no enemy of Russia to continue to intimidate European countries, not only will there be no need for NATO to continue to maintain, but there will be no reason for it to even station troops in European countries, let alone sell a large amount of weapons and equipment to European countries.

Since the United States cannot afford to lose NATO, it is naturally impossible for Russia to become a member of NATO.

In other words, if the United States has always believed that Russia is an enemy, then it will be safe for China to import oil from Russia.

He and some other leaders, including experts from think tanks, believe that one day, Russia will recognize the true face of the United States, and then continue to take over the banner of the Soviet Union and fight to the end against the United States.

And now that Fang Chen has so many oil fields, it means that another lock has been added to the protective shell of Huaxia's oil security.

Even Huaxia imports oil from Fangchen's oil fields, which is many times safer than importing oil from other Russian oil fields, especially the third Baku, the national oil company.

At the very least, he believed that if he wanted to send some special personnel to Fang Chen's oil field, Fang Chen would not refuse.

Moreover, as a Chinese, Fang Chen's company has some Chinese faces, and even if these Chinese occupy a high position and obtain certain rights, it must be normal.

But this is impossible for other Russian oil companies.

Hearing Dean Zhu say this, Fang Chen already understood everything, he thought for a while, then raised his head and asked directly: "This is no problem, as long as the domestic needs are needed, I can drain all the oil fields in Russia, and even if you have money, it is not impossible for me to extract all the 40 billion barrels of oil in my oil fields for you to reclaim." ”

"What nonsense? ”

Dean Zhu couldn't help but reach out and pat Fang Chen's head, and said as if he was a little displeased, but the corners of his mouth that had already reached his ears revealed what he really thought in his heart.

Huaxia's oil reserves are only more than 20 billion barrels, and if Fang Chen can get all his 40 billion barrels of oil into China, how can he not be happy, after all, this is oil equivalent to the oil reserves of the United States.

Even he couldn't help but imagine what would become of China with Fang Chen's 40 billion barrels of oil.

It is estimated that there will be no problem at all in supporting the full realization of the four modernizations, and it is not good that before two hundred years, Huaxia will not have to think about the oil problem.

But in the next moment, Dean Zhu's sanity returned, not to mention whether Fang Chen had the ability to dig out all the 40 billion barrels of oil and transport them to China, whether Russia would be willing to do so, and other questions, let's just say that at the current low price of 20 US dollars per barrel, the 40 billion barrels of oil are worth 800 billion US dollars.

Now Huaxia can earn $5 to 6 billion in foreign exchange a year, and there is no guarantee of even normal foreign exchange demand.

Now that another $800 billion has popped up, just kill him, to put it mildly, the wealth accumulated in China over the past 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China is probably not as much as $800 billion.

And Fang Chen rolled his eyes again and again beside him, duplicitous, saying don't want to, but his body was very honest, what he was talking about was Dean Zhu's current appearance.

However, he now fully understands why Dean Zhu would say that he was in a hurry.

Huaxia is just about to change from a net exporter of oil to a net importer, and then he got such a large oil field, isn't it a coincidence, what is it?

"Don't talk about these nonsense words, I have talked to some experts, professors and leaders before, and they have unanimously decided that pipeline transportation is the best way, or that as long as there is sea transportation, it will be unsafe! It is a huge threat to our oil security in China!" Dean Zhu said categorically.

Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded and agreed, not to mention the future generations, this is what the country does, and the installed oil pipelines, let's talk about this ocean, which is simply the backyard of the United States.

If on land, the United States and Europe may tremble under the torrent of Soviet steel, but if it goes to sea, it is really the world of the United States.

Only nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the United States has now launched eight, other conventionally powered aircraft carriers, in the fifties, there were still four in service in the Forrestal-class, and then there were five more in service in the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, and the total number of aircraft carriers alone is seventeen.

And then three more Nimitz aircraft carriers are being designed and are ready for construction.

The good thing is that the Forrestal class is so old that two are expected to be decommissioned this year, and then the remaining two will all be decommissioned in the 20th century.

Other nuclear-powered cruisers, 10,000-ton drives, and so on nearly a hundred.

If only the naval strength is counted, the Soviet is probably less than one-fifth of the United States, let alone China.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen's mind moved, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, if the historical process was not affected too much by him, it is estimated that in the near future, the "Milky Way" incident will appear.

It can be said that the Yinhe incident was one of the great humiliations inflicted on China by the United States.

"If that's the case, then how does this pipeline go, the Anda line?"

Fang Chen's mouth spat out a term that was extremely familiar to later generations, but extremely unfamiliar to Dean Zhu.

"What is the Ontario Line?"

Sure enough, Dean Zhu asked with a confused expression.

"The Angarsk Oilfield in Siberia, Russia, to our Daqing oil transportation pipeline, the Angarsk Oilfield is the largest oilfield under my name, and it can even be said to be a joint area of the oilfield under my name. ”

"Specifically, the route is from the Angarsk oil field in Russia's Irkutsk Oblast in the west, to the south into the Republic of Buryatia, after bypassing Lake Baikal, all the way to the east, through Chita Oblast, into China, and directly to Daqing, with a total length of about 2,000 kilometers. If you don't like it, you can change the name or even change the oil field. Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.

Coincidentally, and the oil crisis in China has always existed in the past life and now, and the optimal solution is to import oil from Russia, so in the previous life, the country was ultimately looking for Russia, and the Anda line he just mentioned was the oil pipeline route proposed by Huaxia.

And in the previous life, Huaxia was looking for the big oligarch Khodorkovsky, who was the owner of Russia's largest oil company at the time, Yukos Oil Company, and was also the worst big oligarch who was cleaned up by Comrade Vladimir and was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Yukos Petroleum was wholly acquired by the state-owned Russian Oil Company, and it can be said that it was precisely because of the forced acquisition of Yukos Oil Company that Rosneft was born, which is the second largest Russian oil company.

In fact, Yukos Petroleum Company is similar to the model of Qingtian Oil, both of which are such an oil company that merges some oil fields in Siberia and then establishes such an oil company.
