What is the war fought? Zhuo Fei, who has the memory of later generations, will definitely answer that it is logistics support, but what does logistics support rely on? Without the support of production supply, the only way Zhuo Fei can think of is to spend money to buy it. It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be supported by the hundreds of thousands of dollars provided by Andy, so when he learned that someone in the U.S. government had secretly investigated the Golden Shield defense, Zhuo Fei had to start implementing the second step of the U.S. mainland plan in advance.

Since the world discovered the benefits of oil, it is no longer possible to do without this gift from nature, and many people have made a fortune as a result, and of course, some people will go bankrupt because of it. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the United States has entered the era of large-scale oil development, and large oil fields have been discovered in the central, southern and Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Texas.

Zhuo Fei is a time-traveler from the afterlife, but he is not an omniscient panacea, and Zhuo Fei does not want to attract too much attention from the US government at this time, so he sends Angela to Mexico, which borders the United States. In 1859, after the oil production in Pennsylvania in the United States, many Mexicans also wanted to develop the local oil resources, but the proportion of crude oil produced there was large, and there was not much kerosene for lamps in a simple distillation kettle.

In 1867, a captain in Boston, USA, bought some land in Tuxpan on the eastern coast of Mexico, drilled a number of wells near the oil seedlings on the coast, and once found oil at a depth of about 500 feet (about 152 meters), built an oil refinery, and produced kerosene to sell to the locals. Due to the low production of oil wells and the low yield of kerosene, instead of making money, they lost money. The captain was disappointed and committed suicide.

In 1900, Robinson, president of Mexico's Central Railroad, invited Edward Lee, an American and California oil entrepreneur. Dohanni and his partner Canfield traveled to Mexico to find fuel for the trains. Dohanni and Canfield bought 180,000 acres (about 83,000 hectares) of land in 1901 to form Petroleos Mexicanos to drill in the Tampico area on the east coast.

In 1901 he drilled the Cerro. The CerodelaPez No. 1 well, a fractured shale field in Ebano, is buried at a depth of 166 meters, but only produces 7 barrels (about 1 ton) of oil a day. Over the next three years, he spent more than $3 million in the neighborhood to drill a large number of wells, all of which were low-yielding wells that could not self-spew. A total of 125,000 barrels (about 17,000 tons) of oil were produced in three years, and it was heavy crude oil, which was not suitable for refining kerosene. At that time, kerosene was the leading product of oil refining.

At the same time, the Englishman Witmen, who contracted construction works in Mexico. Pearson, who stopped in the United States by chance, witnessed the oil boom in the United States and learned that oil fields could be found by drilling near asphalt lakes. In 1906, he leased a large area of land around an asphalt lake on the southern isthmus of Mexico, and invited Captain Lucas, the discoverer of the American "spindle top" high-yield oil field, to Mexico to direct drilling, and established the Mexican Eagle Oil Company. And here he began to drill, but unfortunately he ended up only finding a small oil field in San Cristopol.

So, he made his way to the east coast and obtained a concession for the entire state at Veracruz at the northern mouth of the isthmus. But after doing it for a while, it didn't work. By this time, Dohanni was already producing oil in Tampico, and he hurried north to obtain the right to use a large area of land near the Tampico area where there were oil seedlings.In 1910, Dohanni and Canfield's Petroleos Mexicanos also made a major discovery in Juan Casciano, near Dospocas. The first well has a daily output of 15,000 barrels (about 2,000 tons); The second well injected 70,000 barrels (about 10,000 tons) of oil per day.

In 1918, the San Diego oil field was discovered, and as a result, Mexico's oil production continued to rise. In 1905, the output was 136,000 tons (about 1 million barrels), and in 1911 it reached 1.7 million tons (about 12.5 million barrels), making it the world's third largest oil producer after the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1919, Mexico's annual production exceeded 10 million tons. In 1921, the output reached 27 million tons, surpassing Russia to become the world's second largest oil producer after the United States. The zone where these fields are distributed is known as the "Golden Belt" oil area. It was Mexico's first major oil region.

In the first two decades of the 20th century, the oil discoveries of American and British companies in Mexico were concentrated in the "Golden Belt" near Tampico in the north of the east coast. For more than 20 years after nationalization, almost all of Mexico's oil was produced here. At that time, wells were mainly drilled near oil seedlings. In 1923, the oil company carried out a regional geological survey. Expanding exploration to the north and south began in 1926, and a number of exploratory wells were drilled, but nothing was found. Geologists mistakenly believed that oil was concentrating only on the high parts of the reefs that had been developed, so they shifted their focus elsewhere and resumed seismic work in the south in 1940.

After 1948, the Mexican National Petroleum Company introduced advanced exploration technology, used a variety of geophysical methods, and paid attention to the combination of geophysical data and sedimentary facies research in geology, and made three major breakthroughs in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century. First of all, the "New Gold Belt" was discovered in the southern part of the Old Gold Belt, which is a Huaiqi-rich zone similar to the Old Gold Belt. The Ezegail oil field was first discovered in 1952, and by 1956 a total of 17 small fields had been found in the area.

In 1956, south of the onshore New Gold Belt, a large nose-shaped structure was found, based on seismic data, and the Andreas oil field was discovered, the first reservoir found in the Jurassic strata in Mexico. The structure is large, but the physical properties of the reservoir are too poor. After further in-depth geological research, the Jurassic carbonate sedimentary model was established on the basis of comparison with modern sedimentation, and it is believed that the edge of the platform is a favorable area for reef formation and oolitic limestone formation. The discovery of the Tamaulipas oil field in 1958 and the Alunkoy oil field in 1969 are both large oil fields of the Jurassic period. The Central Veraklus oil region was formed.

All in all, at a time when British and American oil companies are clustered on Mexico's east coast, the southern region of Mexico is making a big difference. Zhuo Fei has memories of the afterlife, but he is not some omniscient panacea, and Zhuo Fei's knowledge of Mexico comes from a capture mission in the special forces. Zhuo Fei and three comrades-in-arms were once ordered to go to Mexico to arrest corrupt officials who had fled, and the embassy staff responsible for providing them with target guidance was a Mexican expert, and Zhuo Fei would remember that there was a large oil field in southern Mexico.

There are rich people in the United States who make their fortunes by oil exploration, and there are even losers who have nothing to gain, and Zhuo Fei was chatting with Angela when he suddenly remembered that there was oil in southern Mexico. There is oil in Germany itself, but the Germans don't know about it now, so they have to import it. Mexico has been committed to nationalizing the oil industry since the Carranza era in 1917, and in 1938, the current Mexican President Cárdenas convened a cabinet meeting and signed a decision to confiscate the oil assets of foreign oil companies on the spot, and announced it to the whole country and the world that evening.

The Mexican government wants to nationalize the oil industry, which undoubtedly harms the interests of foreign oil companies, and the United States and British foreign companies have joined forces to negotiate with the Mexican government, and they are worried that Mexico's action of confiscating foreign capital will cause a chain reaction, so they desperately oppose it, and even want to organize a worldwide oil embargo on Mexico. The biggest loss was from the Mexican Eagle oil company, so the British government insisted that the Mexican government return the property, but unexpectedly, the Mexican authorities simply severed diplomatic relations with the British.

In this case, Germany extended an olive branch to Mexico, preparing to import Mexican oil in large quantities. Zhuo Fei, who was in New York, did not know about the bitter exchange between Mexico and Britain and the United States over oil, but Hansen, who lobbied the top of the Nazi Party in Berlin, sent a telegram to Zhuo Fei, saying that the oil purchasing mission sent by Berlin had already arrived in Mexico and secretly signed an agreement with the Mexican government for oil for oil equipment, heavy machinery and steel.

In the case of Anglo-American oil companies almost unable to move an inch in Mexico, while German and Italian oil companies are ready to move in Mexico, Vivien, who is half German, has become Zhuo Feitui's representative in the foreground. More than 80 percent of Mexico's existing oil wells are in the hands of British and American oil companies, and the Mexican government has signed contracts with Germany for oil exports, but they are faced with not having enough oil to export.

Vivian's Blackwater Oil Company has become the key for the Germans to continue to import oil from Mexico, and the 300 veterans led by Vivian and Angela and a large number of unemployed oil workers hired in the United States will conduct oil exploration in southern Mexico in half a month, and once Blackwater Oil Company explores for oil, these oil wells will be owned by the Mexican government.

According to the agreement signed between the Berlin and Mexican governments, a certain percentage of the extraction fee will go to Blackwater for every barrel of crude oil sold in the oil wells explored by Blackwater. "You remember, this time we went to Mexico to explore for oil, not to make a lot of money from Mexico, but to train those oil workers, and later, I will have a new plan to implement, which will inevitably use these oil workers." This sentence was specifically told to them by Angela before they left New York.
