Chapter 208: West Sichuan Oilfield
Zheng Yuanxing is so shrewd, he quickly understood the reason, Commander Liu's meaning is obvious, western Sichuan is already semi-independent, even if the Red Army's family members and wounded are taken in, others can't do anything about him, but once the Red Party develops the organization, it means that the Red Army will fight back to Sichuan, this is the taboo of Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, no matter what, they will launch a military attack, as well as political encirclement and suppression.
When the time comes, Liu Zheng and his sacrifice of their lives is small, resulting in thousands of wounded and their families, suffered a catastrophe, then because of the small and the loss of the big, Zheng Yuanxing asked Liu Yun for advice, what should they do, Commander Liu believes that less talk about Red Partyism, more talk about patriotic spirit and anti-Japanese issues.
Liu Yun also knew that the Red Party had the Red Party's methods, Zheng Yuanxing asked him for advice, but he was just modest, so he didn't talk much, and went to the front line of railway construction south of Fucheng alone.
Since the beginning of December last year, it has been more than two months, the southern section of the railway in Fucheng has been extended to the vicinity of Deyang, the quality is okay, only part of the construction section, need to be slightly corrected by the brain and ants, Liu Yun has a blue eye for Erix, and offers to increase his salary.
Erix was also flattered, and even hoped to stay in Huaxia in the future and become an ordinary Chinese, Liu Yun agreed to it, and awarded him the "Honorary Citizen of Maozhou City" on the spot, as for the issue of Huaxia nationality, Commander Liu asked him to work hard, and he would personally negotiate with Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang.
This guy was very moved, and wanted to become a retainer of the Liu family in western Sichuan, Liu Yun also smiled bitterly, and told him in German that Huaxia had abolished the feudal imperial system, and he couldn't accept him as a retainer, but Erix didn't believe it, he thought that western Sichuan had become an independent kingdom, and Commander Liu was the grand duke of the kingdom.
The Grand Duke (Lord) of Western Sichuan, Liu Yun was also stunned, and then a little crying and laughing, knowing that there was no way to make it clear, because Germany and France are said to be democratic countries, in fact, there are still aristocrats, and the princes and uncles are still prevalent, not to mention the United States, the upper class of society is looking for the descendants of the nobility to marry.
The British Empire is a constitutional monarchy, the Soviet Union said that it was a socialist country, but the upper class is always inseparable from the aristocracy, China since the Xinhai Revolution abolished the imperial system, it has only been more than 20 years, Erix does not believe that there are no nobles or lords in China, which also has a certain reason.
However, Liu Yun is a liberal arts student in the 21st century, and he is very clear about the future direction of China, the feudal imperial system will disappear forever in the long river, and anyone who wants to turn back the wheel of history will be nailed to the pillar of shame one by one.
However, in Liu Yun's view, the main contradiction in China at present is the contradiction between the Chinese nation and the Japanese devils, seeing that the war is about to break out, what he has to do is to unite all forces and prepare for the War of Resistance.
As for this guy's cognitive error, Liu Yun thinks that it is not a big problem, there are Red Army in western Sichuan, and it is their specialty to do ideological work for backward elements, so he didn't bother to care, and announced with a half-truth that Erix would become a trainee knight of him, the Grand Duke of Western Sichuan.
Erex was so excited that he cried bitterly, hugged Liu Yun's feet and swore allegiance, and wanted to dedicate his personal property to his duke master, but Commander Liu didn't dare to ask for it, so he used the excuse that the Grand Duchy of Western Sichuan had strong financial resources, so he could serve him well, and it was not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune.
Subsequently, Grand Duke Liu scurried away in embarrassment, and soon disappeared from sight, which made the trainee knight Erix stunned, running so chicly, adding a little confidence to his future, and working harder from then on, striving to remove the word "trainee" as soon as possible.
Liu Yun didn't go far, he just went to Fucheng, and repeatedly told the Fucheng Transit Center that he must ensure the materials and living needs for the construction of the railway, but soon after arriving, Li Jiayu transferred Chairman Liu's telegram that Liu Xiang wanted to recruit him to the city to discuss major matters, and the time was within three days.
Liu Yun guessed that this summons was about weapons and equipment, but fortunately it was not for his life, so it would be much easier to do, since there were three days, then the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant and the northern section of the Fucheng Railway would be inspected and inspected.
Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant is designed by Liu Yun himself, by the construction of all German engineers, for the time being, everything is running smoothly, the site relocation has been completed, the foundation is being laid, three Sichuan West Engineer Battalions have been used, the funds are directly allocated by the War Readiness Committee, and the local people are quite supportive.
Moreover, the railway network in western Sichuan has been extended to Zhangming County and Jiangyou County, and the required steel and cement are being continuously transferred from western Sichuan, only the power is troublesome, and a thermal power station is being built in the upper reaches of the Fujiang River, and the transmission network in western Sichuan has been repaired to Anxian County, and it can be opened in two months.
The person in charge of the northern section of Fucheng is Ma Xingchi, although he does not know how to repair the railway, but he is very hard to learn, not only to the experts to apprentice, but also to learn from the workers, fortunately in the northern section of the construction of the workers, all with Liu Yun to repair the road workers, the technology is still excellent, the progress is not worse than the southern section.
Of course, Liu Yun himself also made some moves, at the beginning of the construction of the northern section of the Fucheng railway, he sent twenty ant robots to secretly help Ma Xingchi open the mountain and split the road, so the quality of the northern section of the railway is quite decent, Commander Liu was about to fly to the city, and the wisdom brain suddenly came out with good news.
It turned out to be an ant robot, when building a bridge for the northern section of the railway, it was detected that there were a large number of oil mines in the middle of Jiangyou County, Liu Yun was ecstatic, the oil crisis in western Sichuan was finally over, and he was a little annoyed that he didn't think of it before this, "Jiangyou Jiangyou, Jiangzhong Drifting Oil".
Liu Yun didn't care about Feichengdu, so he hurriedly piloted the plane, started the survey function of the brain, followed the traces found by the ants, and searched all the way, and finally found that the oil field here is not an ideal oil field, not only the composition of the oil itself is complex, but the reserves are only a few million tons.
However, Liu Yun is already very satisfied, as long as it is not a high-intensity operation, it can only be used for several years in western Sichuan, but at this stage, it is still secrecy, this is a life-saving straw when the rear is blocked after the outbreak of the war, and it must not be used in ordinary times.
With the joy, Liu Yun was a little frustrated, as a result, the oil crisis in western Sichuan, still did not ease in the slightest, so he had to drive the plane to the city to see what Chairman Liu Xiang had to advise, hoping that this Uncle Liu could stretch out his hand and find some way to tide over the difficulties in front of him.
After arriving in the city, he was soon sent to Chairman Liu's office by the long-awaited adjutant, and when Liu Xiang saw Liu Yun, he seemed very happy, and he didn't see the previous division and estrangement.
Liu Xiang first announced the good news that through the efforts of his international advisory group, a small oil field had been discovered in Jintang County, near the city capital, with an estimated oil reserve of several hundred thousand tons, worth more than 10 million oceans.
It was really happy to fall from the sky, Liu Yun himself was also excited, and before he could laugh, he saw Liu Xiang's mysterious smile, and he was already shocked in his heart, how can there be a free lunch in the world, according to Chairman Liu's strength, most of them will be priced in gold, and a little calculation, dizzy, equivalent to dozens of tons of gold.
Seeing Liu Yun's bitter face, Liu Xiang knew that this guy had guessed the result, so he opened the skylight and said brightly, "Yicheng Xian's nephew, the old man is not greedy, the oil field is counted as 20 tons of gold, and it is not difficult for you, it is counted as an advance payment for equipment for ten divisions, but how about trying to solve three divisions first?" ”
Liu Yun can calculate this account that gold is a reserve fund for future wars, and it is not necessary to do so, oil is the top priority, and if it can be used one day earlier, Huaxia can train a few more pilots, and this kind of scarce human resources is the most valuable resource in any era.
"Deal", Liu Yun finally thought about it, and agreed to Liu Xiang without hesitation, and at the same time proposed to him that he continue to import all kinds of oil, which will be needed for future aircraft and tanks.
Chairman Liu also thought so, and quietly told him that he had reached an agreement with Lao Chiang in Nanjing and Long Yun in Yunnan to import oil from the coastal and Yunnan-Burma highways, but it was very troublesome in transportation, and he was looking for experts to see if there was any good way to see if the Three Gorges could be widened.
Liu Yunhan flowed out at once, isn't this opening the door to welcome thieves, the Japanese devils seem to hit the edge of the Three Gorges, and they will never be able to enter again, in a sense, it is not unrelated to the treacherous terrain of the Three Gorges, and it is good to say that the lack of oil is good, if the devils are allowed to enter Sichuan, the sin will be great.
By the way, oil pipelines are commonly used for transportation, how to install oil pipelines, Liu Yun is also a black eye, there is, oil tankers from the Yangtze River into Dongting Lake, through Changsha, Hunan and Tongren, Guizhou, directly to Chongqing, is the direction of the railway line in later generations, and it is not a problem to transport oil.
Tell Liu Xiang about the oil pipeline, Chairman Liu is also stupid, there are thousands of kilometers, not to mention whether it can be repaired or not, even if it is completed, it will be the year of the monkey again, with this time and patience, the railway line from Chongqing to Changsha can be opened, Liu Yun thought about it himself, and it is indeed the case.
The two of them slapped their heads for a while, and they couldn't think of any good way, but the oil crisis was temporarily solved, so they had to return to the real problem, Liu Xiang also wanted to order 200 Western Sichuan fighters, and Liu Yun would not suffer a loss, like other warlords, 15 kilograms of gold each.
Liu Yun was frightened again, and only asked Liu Xiang two questions, one was the fuel problem, and asked him if he knew how much fuel would be consumed every year for such a large-scale air force, and the other was the operation of the aircraft, which required ten times as many air and ground crews as the 200 new fighters.
Fortunately, he was able to ask without shame, and then he realized that maintaining fighter planes was so troublesome, until he figured out the specific roles of air crew, ground crew, machine repair and medical treatment, Chairman Liu immediately cried.
Liu Xiang is not crying for anything else, but sad that during the battle of Yingxiu Town, in order to curb Zhang Guotao's ferocious attack, he did not hesitate to dispatch planes and tanks, and as a result, he defeated the air force that had accumulated for many years, and he has not yet recovered.
What made Chairman Liu hit his head against the wall was that he didn't know until now that the way the fighter was operating was wrong, and if it was done according to what Liu Yun said, and strictly divided air crew, ground crew, and machine repair, the air force should have zero casualties in the first war, and now there is only an empty shell left.
