Zhang Chengtian, who put down the plan, smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that our Minister Myers is indeed a talented party member. ”

Hearing Zhang Chengtian claim that he was a party member in advance, Miles immediately reacted that Zhang Chengtian was throwing an olive branch to himself.

"Thank you for your compliment, my subordinates will go through the procedures for joining the party early tomorrow morning." Miles also immediately recognized himself as a subordinate, even though Zhang Chengtian was not his nominal boss.

Zhang Chengtian nodded and said, "Your plan is indeed very good, but I also hope to be able to make small changes." ”

Miles was stunned: "What changes?" ”

Zhang Chengtian smiled: "I know that you are very optimistic about the coal-to-oil technology, which accounts for half of the plan. However, this technology has many shortcomings. ”

"Falling short?" Miles wondered. The coal-to-oil plan has not yet been implemented, and the young over-the-top soldier in front of him will be able to find technical deficiencies?

Looking at Miles' disbelieving eyes, Zhang Chengtian laughed and said, "Minister Miles, I happen to know this technology very well. Coal-to-oil conversion is nothing more than two liquefaction methods, and I can recite them for you. The advantage of direct liquefaction is that the oil yield is high, and the disadvantage is that the coal type is more picky and the chemical reaction conditions are harsh. The advantage of indirect liquefaction is that the coal type has a wide range of adaptability, and the reaction conditions are lower than that of direct liquefaction, and the disadvantage is that the oil yield is low. In short, both approaches have significant shortcomings. ”

Glancing at the surprised Miles, Zhang Chengtian confidently mentioned: "If Minister Miles still doesn't believe in anything, you can ask the relevant scientists." ”

Miles said in a ghost-like tone, shocked: "Major General, subordinates...... My subordinates really didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. ”

When Zhang Chengtian heard this, he pretended to be a profound education and said: "There is an ancient saying in the East, which is called the endless sea of learning. In other words, there is no end to learning, and it doesn't hurt to know a little more. ”

Miles nodded instructively and said, "Then should we stop this expensive coal-to-oil technology?" ”

"Of course not! Why stop. Zhang Chengtian raised his voice and said: "We have invested so much, it is a pity to stop now." In addition, in the coal-to-coke process of this technology, coal tar will be obtained as a by-product, and the coal tar can be hydrogenated to produce gasoline and diesel, etc., or the coal tar can be used as heavy oil for the use of warships of the Navy after simple treatment. ”

Zhang Chengtian pretended to say: "I just said that there is no end to learning, if we want to analyze a thing, we must learn to look at it from multiple angles." ”

Miles was once again impressed by Zhang Chengtian's "erudition" and said, "God, are you really God's gift to Germany?" ”

Miles couldn't help but sigh anymore: "My subordinates heard that you were originally just a naval soldier, but you showed amazing planning skills in Operation Rainbow. Later, you showed some political flair in the process of quelling the Karp coup. Not long ago, the planning of the purple plan showed your talent in the army's operational command. ”

After talking about these exploits repeatedly publicized by the Gestapo and the social worker newspaper, Myers added: "Now, you have unexpectedly demonstrated a deep understanding of science. My subordinates have to say that there may be no more all-powerful person in this world than you. ”

After Zhang Chengtian listened to Miles's words, he was a little embarrassed. If he hadn't been very interested in coal-to-oil technology at the beginning, and then learned more about it through the Internet, how would he know so much?

Coughing dryly twice, Zhang Chengtian said humbly on the surface: "It's nothing, learn more, you can learn a lot." "But I keep complaining in my heart, how can you who haven't crossed over know these things that haven't appeared yet?

After a rapport conversation, Mr. Chang invited Miles to dinner at an upscale steakhouse owned by members of the Gestapo.

During the banquet, Zhang Chengtian let Miles see the appearance of an oriental otaku. Specifically, the steak is roughly cut into several large pieces and stuffed into the mouth in a cramming style.

However, compared to Zhang Chengtian's eating appearance, Miles was revealed by Zhang Chengtian, who had just eaten a whole plate of steak, and revealed a news that shocked him more than eating.

"What?! There are also big oil fields in Germany! Miles, who heard the news, almost jumped onto the dinner table.

As he was cutting the second plate of black pepper steak, Zhang Chengtian was vague and intermittently revealed to Miles while holding a large piece of beef.

The eager Miles listened for a long time before he could hear clearly that there was a large oil field in Germany, in Schleswig-Holstein. It's just that because I bought it relatively deeply, it has not been surveyed.

In fact, it is precisely because of the deep burial of this oil field that the historical Germany did not build oil wells here until 1980.

However, Zhang Chengtian, who happened to travel on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, passed by the periphery of the local oil well factory, checked the relevant information after returning to China, and wrote down the oil field.

Determined to join Chang's camp, Miles believes that Chang has no reason to make up this lie to deceive himself, the oil minister.

So Zhang Chengtian is proposing this matter now, which means that he has initial trust in himself and is ready to give him relevant tasks.

The thought of having an oil field with a stock of more than 50 million tons in Germany made Myers tremble with excitement.

Once Germany has its own large oil fields, it also means that more derivative products can be refined, such as diesel, gasoline, plastics and even artificial rubber products!

At this point, Germany's strategic resources will be more abundant than ever.

After eating the second plate of black pepper steak, Zhang Chengtian decided to change the taste and ordered a filet mignon drizzled with mushroom juice.

It's not that Zhang Chengtian doesn't pay as much attention to oil as Myers. It's really because Zhang Chengtian, who used instant noodles for a long time to solve food and clothing in his previous life, has no resistance in front of steak.

Besides, I had a very late dinner today. Originally, when Zhang Chengtian visited Miles, it was already half past five in the afternoon, and dinner did not start until eight o'clock.

So there was a scene where Zhang Chengtian regarded steak as more important than oil.

Zhang Chengtian, who had two plates of steaks, regained his senses and smiled at Miles with satisfaction: "The good news is more than that. I secretly discovered through credible sources that the location of the oil field was on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. We need to drill wells about 2,000 meters deep for this. The specific location of the oil field, I can mark it on the map and send it to you tomorrow. ”

The 2,000-meter-deep oil well is obviously much deeper than the average oil well. Myers had an estimate in mind if exploration was to be carried out on the west coast of the entire state of Schleswig-Holstein. Not only is the success rate low, but also the cost is huge. But if Zhang can really give a specific location, these costs will be negligible.

Miles, who was a little uncertain, cautiously asked: "Major General, is this information accurate?" If the information is wrong, it is not easy to afford ...... financially. ”

Zhang Chengtian looked at the third plate of steak that was being served, and hurriedly interrupted Miles before the steak was served, "First, I can be sure that the information is accurate." Second, funding is not an issue, and all investments will be borne by Rheinland. After speaking, Zhang Chengtian couldn't wait to move the knife and fork on the third plate of steak.

However, in just two sentences, it gave Miles a reassurance. Especially at the thought of not having to pay for the oil sector, Myers felt more relaxed than ever.

Since all the input is undertaken, the rest of the task is simple. It is nothing more than to send professionals from some departments to provide relevant technical equipment and do a good job of confidentiality in the early stage.

Thinking of this, Miles also had an appetite: "Waiter, serve me another black pepper steak." Miles shouted lightly.

When the two finally finished eating a total of 5 steaks and left the restaurant slowly, Zhang Chengtian jokingly asked Miles: "My dear oil minister, what do you say we are stockpiling so much oil for?" ”

The sleek Miles smiled after hearing this: "Of course it's for peace." ”

"That's right, for peace." Zhang Chengtian smiled and answered meaningfully.
