"Chief, from what I negotiated with him last night, we don't have any options at the moment but to buy their crude oil." Xia Mingyu said to the old man sitting in front of him with a solemn face: "I discussed with him for four hours about the possibility of promoting this technology, and the possibility of getting it in the end was almost zero. ”

"It's not that the other party doesn't want to promote this, but that we can't overcome the technical level in the purifier with our current materials and technology." Xia Mingyu continued to explain to the old man: "From the aviation fuel and diesel oil that we have obtained so far extracted from the crude oil provided to us by Liu Tao, we have found that our fighters can increase their stay time by 30 minutes while using the same volume of aviation fuel, and the mileage of armored vehicles can increase by 30 percent when they use their diesel. ”

"Chief, I think the General Armament Department should have told you that our engines will wear out when they are used, and according to their oil, our engineers estimate that the engine life of our fighters and armored vehicles can be increased by at least twenty percent. What's more, the lubricating oil extracted from it surpasses the top lubricating oil in the world, which can significantly reduce various industrial wear, especially the wear and tear of the load wheels of our new tank. ”

"Chief, our new main battle tank is not the main battle tank that lags behind Europe and the United States in terms of technology, but our material technology cannot keep up with the world's advanced level, which seriously restricts the development of our country's military science and technology. The service life of the load wheels of our tanks is only 80 percent of that of Europe and the United States, but our engineers have calculated that if we use their lubricating oil, our load wheels can reach the same level as those in Europe and the United States, and even if they do not reach it, it will not be too different. ”

"Chief, there is another point that Director Xia did not say, and it is also the most important point, that is, their combustion calorific value is large, not only to increase the range, but on the other hand, they have increased our horsepower in disguise." A soldier with a major general of the equipment department said with a solemn face: "Although this seems a little strange, but the data obtained by our technicians shows that the horsepower of our fighters and armored vehicles has increased by about ten percent. ”

"Is all this data real?"

"More than 90 percent of the data is real." The major general naturally knew what it would mean if this data was obtained by other countries, it would be a linear increase in the combat effectiveness of the entire army, especially the time spent in the air by fighters would make a qualitative change in the situation in the South China Sea.

"What do you guys think?" No. 1 looked at the leaders of the various departments around him with a solemn face, this time the stakes are very high, this technology is really terrifying, and it almost changed the combat level of the entire army with just a crude oil purification technology.

"If the data is really 90 percent reliable, then it's worth it." The second commander of the army said with a solemn face: "Even if the data is only 50% credible, we have to do it, chief, the situation waits for no one." ”

"Chief, we have to take all their purchasing rights, once this crude oil falls into the hands of Europe and the United States, then it will put heavy pressure on us." The commander of the Air Force also said to everyone with a solemn face: "If the time of the fighter is increased by 30 minutes, then the improvement of combat effectiveness is definitely not as simple as one plus one, and in an emergency, we can even reduce the carrying of fuel and increase the amount of ammunition to catch the enemy by surprise." ”

"Yes, our navy is also there, especially the experimental aircraft carrier LN that we have just put into service, we use a glide take-off, which is fundamentally different from the catapult take-off in Europe and the United States, which seriously limits the play of our combat effectiveness." The commander of the Navy also said: "If the chief thinks that this cake is not easy to cut, then our Navy is willing to swallow all the fuel of their company." ”

"Our Air Force is willing."

"Our Army is also willing!"

When the No. 1 leader saw that the three armed forces were all resolute, he knew that this matter had to be done, even if there was great difficulty, after all, this was a matter related to the lifeblood of the country.

"Mingyu, their company hasn't started selling this purified oil yet, right?"

Xia Mingyu shook his head and said: "No, judging from the internal intelligence obtained, at present, their company is sealing a certain amount of oil every month, and the oil they sell has not been purified by our agents, and the purified crude oil should still be in their warehouse." ”

"Okay, this matter is decided, we must get all the right to purchase their oil, you can do it yourself, even if it costs a little." The muscles on the chief's face twitched, and he said heavily: "The crude oil we bought this time will be supplied to the navy and air force first, and at least fifty percent of the amount should be retained as a strategic reserve." ”

"Mingyu, as for Boyuan, let's see what conditions they have, as long as the conditions are not too outrageous, we can accept it, if you can't decide, call me." You can also ask him if there is a way to sell us oil without going through the country. ”

"There is a way to do this, and that is to make a bid, and he hopes that the country will be able to issue a large oil purchase order to the world in the near future, and then the oil companies will bid, and we can secretly assist him in obtaining the right to purchase this product, and then through a shell company to trade from the central government, sell all their oil to our country."

"The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for this matter, in short, I don't care what method you use, you must get all the crude oil from their company's factory, and this crude oil will be used as a special oil supply for the army." The chief said to everyone with a solemn face: "I don't want anything to go wrong in this matter, I don't want some people to sabotage this bid because of their own interests, otherwise I won't show mercy." ”

"Rest assured, the chief, the army's things are not moving." The corners of the Minister of Commerce's mouth moved and he hurriedly assured that the huge cake of oil had finally been cut this time, and everything was the most important piece.

"Mingyu, arrange a few good hands to protect him and his family, I don't want them to be threatened by anyone in the country. This matter involves national interests, and a few people are secretly placed around him to find out the secrets on him as soon as possible. The lifeblood of the nation must be in the hands of the state. The chief ordered Xia Mingyu with a solemn face, it is impossible for any country to leave their fate in the hands of others.

"I understand, I'll arrange this myself."

"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, I hope no one will leak out today's events, and no one will be unhappy. Liu Tao's side will do it as soon as possible, the Ministry of Commerce will immediately start the procurement bidding, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should pay attention to the movement of the Philippine oil company against them, in short, I don't care what you think, in short, this oil must be all in our hands. ”

"Yes, Chief."
