Subtitle of this chapter: Akita Dog with empty gloves

"Mr. Yuan, what do you mean ......?"

"What do I mean...... It's a gift. Our Master Yuan took a sip of whiskey and said leisurely, "I heard that Mr. Yamamoto is very interested in the distribution of oil fields on the U.S.-Mexico border, so I specially asked for this drawing from a friend to give to you." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six blurted out, "May I ask Mr. Yuan, who is your friend ......?"

"Oh, Mr. Yamamoto. My friend's name is Louis Baker. Have you heard his name? ”

"Louis Baker?" Yamamoto Fifty-six thought about it decently, then shook his head and said, "May I ask who he is?" ”

Yuan Yanqian sneered in his heart, this guy is quite decent when he lies.

He didn't believe that after showing amazing talent that day, he still couldn't get the attention of these "sea country boys". Neon Gold spared no effort to get information, and they must have investigated their past. Then his close relationship with the Baker family, which was appreciated by Mr. George Baker, was all on the surface. Anyone who cares will find out by casually investigating.

"Oh, Mr. Baker is the grandson of Mr. George Baker, and Mr. Baker Sr. and I have a good relationship. So......" He deliberately paused to whet the other man's appetite.

Yamamoto Fifty-six really asked with great interest, "So what?" ”

"So, Mr. Yamamoto, I also had the privilege of knowing Mr. Rockefeller. So what about ......"

"So what?"

"So, Mr. Yamamoto. I'm also a little bit connected at Mobil Oil right now. So what about ......"

"So what?"

"So, Mr. Yamamoto......," our Master Yuan said, "I heard that your country and the United States are having some unpleasant quarrels on Sakhalin, isn't that so?" ”

"Huh?!"

Yamamoto's fifty-six thoughts turned sharply, pondering the meaning of these words of this Chinese. As a naval officer who cares deeply about oil and energy, he knows, as this Chinese "preceaser" said, that now Japan and the United States are fighting for the right to develop oil on Sakhalin, especially North Sakhalin.

If you want to say that I am a loser in the Qing Dynasty, Sakhalin Island is called Sakhalin Island by the Russians, and Huatai Island is called by the Japanese. Originally, this could be regarded as the land of Nurhachi's dragon prosperity. On September 7, 1689, China and Russia signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, which established that the vast area of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, including Sakhalin Island, belonged to Chinese territory.

However, in 1858 and 1860, Russia forced the Qing government to cede Sakhalin through treaties such as the Treaty of Aihui and the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing. In 1905, Japan acquired the area south of 50° north latitude of Sakhalin through the Treaty of Portsmouth. In the original timeline, the whole of Sakhalin was under de facto Japanese rule before 1925.

In 1919, Sakhalin's oil reserves were estimated to be more than 100 million tons. The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan are naturally eyeing this big piece of fat. Among them, the United States and Japan are the most powerful competitors, and Soviet Russia, the nominal owner of North Sakhalin, uses this card to seek the greatest political and economic benefits. (Author's note: Later, it was estimated that there were 7 billion tons of reserves, and I was halal enough to lose.) ）

In the United States, Mobil Oil Company of California has long reached an agreement with Russia, but another oil company called Sinclair has been linked to the top of the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern Republic last year.

On the Japanese side, they simply sent troops to occupy North Sakhalin. However, the United States was opposed to this, and both the Democratic and Republican administrations warned Japan to abide by the Portsmouth Treaty.

Could it be ......

I have to say that Yamamoto Isoroku is really a man with extraordinary intuition. Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be that the Americans have infighting?

It's not impossible. The agreement reached between the Mobil Oil Company of California and Tsarist Russia, which is "the country of yours is dead", can be said to be a piece of waste paper, and they saw that the competition was not as hot as that of Soviet Russia, so they turned their heads and thought that it was not impossible to cooperate with Japan.

In fact, this commercial competition was indeed the victory of the latter, obtaining the right to explore and exploit oil in North Sakhalin.

The so-called wind rises at the end of Qingping, and many big businesses in this world are actually initiated and finally done by some small people. And this kind of person is called a political broker. Could this Chinese be such a good thing?

So if you can contribute to this, you will become a great hero of the Great Japanese Empire, especially the navy that is in dire need of oil!

At this moment, the eight cents' breathing was a little heavier. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked very "suspiciously": "Mr. Yuan, we have a small dispute with the United States over the right to develop oil on North Sakhalin. But what do you mean......"

It takes effort and effort to talk to smart people, Yuan Yanqian said a few words casually, and people thought that he might be a small broker. But how to say these "casual" words really made him kill a lot of brain cells.

Yamamoto Fifty-six had already tried his best to suppress his emotions, but at this time, he was not old enough after all, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

Our Master Yuan secretly shouted "There is a play" in his heart. However, on the surface, he sighed and said compassionately: "The United States is a beacon of democracy among all nations, and your country is also the pioneer of modern civilization in my Greater East Asia. The two of you have an unpleasant quarrel, and I, a Chinese, are really sad to see it. That's why I want to contribute a little bit to the cause of peace around the world......"

Saudis Inner!

Hearing this, Yamamoto Fifty-six finally confirmed that his judgment was correct, where is this Chinese who is a Democrate (democrat) who reads books and reads stupidly, and is clearly a brilliant realist!

Sure enough, I heard Yuan Yanqian continue: "Fortunately, some noble gentlemen in the United States also think so, so I would like to ask Mr. Yamamoto if he can talk to your government, and we can sit down and talk together." ”

Well, he's doing what political brokers do most right now, and that's empty gloves...... This time it's the Akita dog. As long as he can get the Akita dogs on the set with such a map of Texas oil fields that has no eggs at all, then he can turn his head and catch the line of the Rockefeller consortium.

Ba Mao Qian showed a look of "embarrassment" and said: "Mr. Yuan, I am just a small lieutenant, a second-class military attache stationed in the United States, where can I participate in this kind of thing." It's not as good as ......."

Loaded, let you load...... No, I have to cooperate with you, otherwise I won't be able to sing this play.

Yuan Yanqian stood up abruptly and asked sharply in Japanese: "Yamamoto-kun, what is the flag of the Z-shaped flag of your Great Japanese Navy?" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six was also excited, and subconsciously came to a Lizheng and replied in Japanese: "The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is here, and all the soldiers work hard!" ”

"So as a Haiguo man from Eda Island, how can you still shirk it?"

"Hey!"
