In the thirteenth year of the reign of the Great Heng Empire, a total of 15 million tons of oil were produced, a considerable part of which was used for export, and the oil tankers of the Great Heng Empire were running all over the world, sending the empire's petroleum products to every corner of the world, and letting the empire's kerosene enter thousands of households around the world.

The oil production capacity of the Great Heng Empire is so large, but other countries are very scarce.

At present, in addition to the Daheng Empire, there are about a dozen more countries on the Blue Star that have discovered oil one after another, but only four countries with an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 tons are the Orr Kingdom, the Mongol Khanate, the Krull Kingdom, and the Olisa Empire.

But their oil production capacity is insignificant compared to the fifteen million tons of the Great Heng Empire.

The second largest oil production capacity on the Blue Star is the Orr Kingdom, which has been exploring and extracting oil in recent years, and now has increased its oil production capacity to 700,000 tons.

The third largest oil-producing country is the Mongol Khanate, they discovered an oil field in the 11th year of Qiansheng, and the annual production capacity reached 500,000 tons after development.

The fourth largest oil producer is the Kingdom of Krull, who have also discovered two small oil fields on Kingdom Island, with a total production capacity of about 260,000 tons.

The fifth largest oil producer is the Olisa Empire, which has also discovered oil fields, with a current production capacity of 180,000 tons.

In addition to the above five countries, there are several other countries that have also discovered oil, but the production capacity is extremely low, only a few thousand tons and tens of thousands of tons.

The division of oil resources is far more unbalanced than people think, and in the southern region of the Daheng Empire, oil seems to be everywhere, and oil can be dug out at will.

But elsewhere, no matter what they do, they don't find much of oil.

In this case, both the Krull Kingdom and other countries are heavily dependent on the oil exports of the Daheng Empire.

The kerosene of the Daheng Empire sells well almost all over the world, even in the Gafia Empire and the Orissa Empire, you can see the figure of Daheng kerosene, not to mention other countries, which basically use Daheng kerosene.

When oil is controlled by Daheng, other countries want to promote the development of petroleum application products, and there is no necessary motivation.

For example, the oil-fired boilers used in battleships were the first to study the oil-fired boilers, but the Kruer people did not put the oil-fired boilers into practical use for a long time, and only adopted the measures of fuel injection to support combustion.

On the other hand, on the side of the Daheng Empire, the oil-fired boiler developed rapidly, and quickly kept up with the fuel-injected combustion technology, which made the power system of the battleship popularize the coal-fired boiler with oil-injected combustion, which greatly improved the power of the battleship.

In addition, the construction of two cruisers and two destroyers started last year is already the first batch of warships to use pure oil-fired boilers, and if the application effect is good on small and medium-sized warships, then the follow-up Imperial Navy will begin to use oil-fired boilers on capital ships.

And this, but the navies of countries such as the Kingdom of Krull cannot do, not because they do not have the technology for oil-fired boilers, but because they do not have the large amount of oil that oil-fired boilers need.

If an oil-fired boiler is used, a one-handed battleship will have to carry several thousand tons of heavy oil when it sails to sea, and if it is a fleet, it will be tens of thousands of tons per minute, and for some naval powers, even in peacetime, hundreds of thousands of tons of heavy oil will be burned in minutes.

If it's a war, then the consumption is even greater!

With the sheer size of the Krull Kingdom's navy, they simply wouldn't have been able to supply so much oil if they had used all-oil boilers during the war......

This is why the Krull Kingdom was the first to develop an oil-fired boiler, but it was not even used for use on small ships, because they did not have enough oil resources.

Even the current mode of fuel injection is a huge logistical problem for the oil supply of their Krull Kingdom Navy.

Although the Krulls were able to obtain oil supplies from the Great Heng Empire in times of peace, such supplies were not guaranteed in times of war.

Otherwise, the Krull Kingdom would not have bothered to build oil fields everywhere.

But now they still can't get too much oil supply, so their navy has begun to build up a strategic oil reserve plan, which is their own oil production capacity and crude oil imported from the Orr Kingdom.

As for why not reserve and hoard the oil of the Great Heng people!

Because those damn Daheng people don't export crude oil at all, and they don't export heavy oil for ships, these damn oil dealers, they only export kerosene and other refined oils, and that's it, they also have a limited supply plan according to the region and the number of sales.

What, Daheng people supply the entire Blue Star refined oil market, and the supply of kerosene in each region every quarter is allocated according to the plan.

The most important thing is that there is no way to burn kerosene directly on the battleship......

Therefore, whether it is the Kingdom of Krull or other countries, they all use the oil imported or produced by other places for military use to meet daily use or for strategic reserves, and as for the petroleum products consumed by civilian production and life, they are all used to import.

Daheng's policy of only allowing the export of refined oil and restricting the export of crude oil and heavy oil has directly killed the idea of other countries trying to develop oil-fired boilers and even internal combustion engines.

This is also where the Krull Kingdom and other countries are very dissatisfied, and the Krull Kingdom has to talk to the Daheng Empire about this crude oil export issue almost every once in a while.

If the people of Daheng dare to agree to export, they Kruer people dare to directly hoard millions of tons of crude oil reserves in one go!

It's a pity that the people of Daheng can't let go!

Therefore, they can only save the country, and use Daheng's petroleum products to meet the daily needs of the people and production, and the oil produced by themselves and imported from other countries is used for military purposes or reserves.

Lacking in oil, it is difficult for them to build a pure fuel fleet, and as for building internal combustion engines, or even equipping the army with a lot of cars, it is enough to choke.

Whether it is a warship or a military diesel locomotive, it is an oil tiger, and once a war starts, it is a huge oil consumption.

And at present, except for the Great Heng Empire, there is no country that meets this oil supply for the time being.

However, this situation has been changed, in December of the fourteenth year of Qiansheng, the eight major countries of Blue Star were shocked by a sensational news!

In the Republic of Ken on the southwestern continent, in the coastal fir region of the puppet state controlled by the Gafian Empire, the local oil exploration team surveyed for oil.

And the reserves are extremely huge, once large-scale exploitation, the local oil production capacity may even reach more than 10 million tons!

After this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of major powers!
