Chapter 802: The Fierce Reaction of the Krulls
Ehrenburg, the western district of Needham, the kingdom of Krull on the island of the kingdom, is the capital of the Kingdom of Krull.
Outsiders often refer to Needham as the capital of the Kingdom of Krull, which is actually incorrect.
Hundreds of years ago, Needham was an ordinary port city, and Ehrenburg, dozens of kilometers to the west, was the capital of the Krull Kingdom and the royal palace.
It's just that Needham is getting better and better, and its urban area is gradually expanding, and finally Ehrenburg, which is dozens of kilometers away, is included, so that the two form a whole urban area.
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Office in Ehrenburg, a group of high-ranking officials of the Krull Kingdom were holding an emergency meeting.
Yesterday, the kingdom's mission to the Gafia Empire telegraphed, saying that the Heng Barbarians had sent more than 1,000 troops, disguised as the so-called oil company escort, and forcibly landed in the Republic of Kean, stationed in the Shanmu area, which is the area where the Kean oil field is located!
Upon learning of this news, the members of the Kingdom Mission immediately sent the news back to Ehrenburg by telegram.
And when the high-ranking officials of the kingdom on the Ehrenburg side learned the news, they were shocked!
"These constant barbarians, are they going to provoke a war?"
"In the past, the Heng Barbarians controlled oil exports, after all, it was their own oil field, and now they forcibly sent troops to the Republic of Kean for the sake of oil hegemony, which is a serious challenge to the world peace order!"
At this time, the Admiral of the Kingdom of Krull spoke:
"As we all know, oil resources are becoming more and more important nowadays, not only can be refined kerosene for lighting, but also can be used as power fuel, and now some of the new warships of our kingdom's navy have been equipped with fuel injection combustion equipment, and the use of fuel injection combustion technology can effectively improve the power of the warship and further improve the speed of the warship."
"However, the people of Daheng have always strictly prohibited the export of crude oil and heavy oil for ships, so that we cannot obtain a large amount of oil from Hengguo for the use of the navy!"
"For many years, we have been trying to solve the problem of oil supply, but we have gained very little, and the crude oil we get every year is not enough to meet the huge demand of the kingdom."
"In our kingdom itself and in the overseas territories we control, there is not much oil production!"
"And the oil imported from Orissa and Orr is not too much, which is not enough for the Navy to complete the fuel plan!"
"However, the fuel of naval power is a general trend, not only us, but also the new warships of other powerful countries have begun to use fuel injection combustion systems, which has led to a significant increase in the power of warships."
"In addition, we are also researching pure oil-fired boilers, and according to forecasts, the power and endurance of pure oil-fired boiler power systems will be greatly improved. The power system is directly related to the maneuverability of the new warship, and the maneuverability is the most important performance of the warship! ”
"However, if our Navy continues to fuel the power of warships, even if it is only to convert the existing warships to fuel injection combustion systems, then the consumption of oil will also be greatly increased, let alone further complete the pure oil-fired boiler program."
"Once the Navy's warships are fully fueled, the annual oil demand will be in the millions of tons"
"When the time comes to wartime, the kingdom's navy will need more oil under high-intensity activities, and we simply won't have that much oil supply."
"In the past, due to the lack of oil sources, we have been unable to implement the fuel program on a large scale, and only used the fuel injection combustion system on some new capital ships to a limited extent, but now, the large-scale oil fields in the Kean area are enough to solve the oil supply problem of our navy, and even the industrial and private oil needs of the entire kingdom."
"According to reliable information, the Kean oil field is located in the fir area, and the survey in the fir area shows that the oil field in the fir area alone, if developed, will produce at least 10 million tons per year!"
"And it's worth noting that this is just one field discovered locally, and if we continue to explore in the surrounding area, it is very likely that a second or even a third large-scale field will be discovered."
"The emergence of the Kean oil field is enough to completely solve the dilemma of the kingdom's lack of oil, help the navy thoroughly promote the fuel plan, improve the mobility of warships, and protect the interests of the empire!"
"The Kean oil field is no less important to the navy and to the kingdom than a million troops!"
"No matter what, we can't give up on the Kean Field!"
With the words of the Secretary of the Admiralty, the tone of this meeting was also set, that is, the Kean oil field will never be abandoned!
Of course, everyone is not stupid, they also know that at this time, the Gaphia people do not act, but inform them of the news of the Krull Kingdom, but don't they expect their Krull Kingdom to come out, and even start a war with the Great Heng people, and then they Gaphia people sit and watch the play!
How can there be such a good thing in the world!
Even if they want to fight, the Krull people will not be stupid enough to fight the Great Heng people alone, let alone start a full-scale war with the Great Heng people for this reason, and the people of their Krull Kingdom are not stupid yet!
After their emergency meeting, and after setting the tone, they quickly informed Valia and the countries of Kekel, Oran, Orissa, and Ibean.
It is not their Krull family that lacks oil on the Blue Star, one of the above five powerful countries is all short of oil, and even more so than their Krull Kingdom.
Their Krull Kingdom still has a small oil field on the island of the kingdom, and it also accounts for half of the oil production of the Orr Kingdom, well, the remaining half is taken by the damned Heng Barbarian.
In addition, according to the agreement, a certain share of oil supply was also obtained from the Orissa Empire, taking advantage of the terms of arms trade and technology transfer.
This doesn't add up much, but it's much better than other countries.
But Kyle, Walya, and the Orlan kingdom divided the oil fields of the Mongol Khanate together, and each of them got only a little bit of it, and it was not enough to use the fuel injection and combustion systems for the few capital ships.
These countries are also desperately hungry for oil.
When these countries learned that the Daheng Empire had sent troops to land directly in the Kean oil field without permission, they began to blow up one by one.
There are eight powerful countries in the Blue Star, except for the Great Heng Empire itself, one of the other seven industrial powers is counted as one, and all of them have issued extremely strong protests to the Great Heng Empire.
It is said that the Daheng Empire's dispatch of troops to land in Kean on its own is a serious provocation to undermine world peace, and it is hoped that the Daheng Empire will immediately withdraw its troops and resolve the Kean issue through peaceful negotiations.
