The new errand of the trail is to find oil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today, the small U.S.-made drilling rig and oil production equipment are still blowing northwest winds there.

At the beginning, when Zhao Yiman was buying supplies in the United States, he once objected to a set of equipment, because it was very expensive, difficult to transport, large in size, complicated in installation, and a series of reasons. The most important reason is that the war did not help directly. It's better to buy some medicines.

However, Xiaolu persevered, and asked him to overcome the difficulties, buy it, and try to transport it back.

From purchase to shipping, it has gone through a lot of hard work. When it was transported in China, the whole set of equipment was disassembled into parts, transported by mule, horse, and car, and it took a lot of hard work to arrive in Yan'an. The parts are researched by several college students and can be installed, however, how to use? If used, it will also consume precious diesel, is it worth it?

Historically, 1938 is the first year of China's petroleum industry, the Republic of China Government Resources Committee set up the Gansu Oil Mining Bureau Preparatory Office in Chongqing, began to look for oil, on August 11, 1939, the first oil well in Yumen was obtained industrial oil flow, in 1946 it was renamed China National Petroleum Company Ganqing Branch, when the drilling efficiency was low, the refining equipment was poor; There are six oilfields that have been put into development successively: Laojun Temple, Ya'er Gorge, Shiyougou, Baiyanghe, Shanbei and Qingxi. In the 10 years before liberation, a total of 520,000 tons of crude oil were produced, accounting for 95% of the country's crude oil output at that time. It can be seen that there is little oil in China.

Although Yumen has a small oil output, it is the cradle, which cultivated the talents of petroleum and chemical industry in mainland China and Taiwan later.

Xiaolu actively asked for oil to change the situation. Although it started later than Yumen, the output can exceed Yumen.

So, the new errand for the trail is to find the oil fields and get these machines up and running.

Xiao Lu made a request to find a few people who were interested in the oil industry at universities such as the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.

It was Gao Gang who accompanied Xiaolu to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Gao Gang served as secretary of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Committee of the Communist Party of China in May 1938, and from January 1939, he served as chairman and chairman of the Senate of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region.

Gao Gang was born on October 25, 1905 in Wuzhen, Mizhi County, Shaanxi, China. Gao Gang studied in Longzhen Primary School in Mizhi County when he was a child, and was later admitted to Hengshan County No. 1 Higher Primary School to study. In 1925, he participated in the organization of Yokoyama Ichigao and got acquainted with Liu Zhidan. In the same year, he entered Yulin Middle School, joined the Communist Party in 1926, and entered Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Zhongshan Military School in 1927.

From 1927 to 1931, Gao Gang carried out military movement work in the local troops in the northwest and launched an armed uprising. In 1932, he served as the secretary of the Shaanxi-Gansu Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Guerrilla Corps, lost the battle, and was sent to work in the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee. On July 28, 1933, he was arrested at the meeting and narrowly escaped.

In August 1933, Gao Gang began to work in the Red Army in Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu, with many ups and downs. After Liu Zhidan, Xi Zhongxun and others were arrested in the purge, after the Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Gao Gang was released, and since then he has worked in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and in May 1938, he served as the secretary of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border District Committee of the Communist Party of China. From January 1939, he served as the chairman of the Senate of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region.

Gao Gang came here, not by chance, but as a result of Xiaolu's suggestion to Mao Gong. The reason for the path is simple, oil is not a trivial matter, it requires the use of technical personnel, the use of a lot of money, a large number of troops, and the leadership of high-ranking cadres. In addition, a local cadre in northern Shaanxi should be in charge. This cadre must have weight, and this cadre must be familiar with the geographical people in the northern part of Shaanxi and the border area of Inner Mongolia.

Gao Gang became the obvious choice.

Xiaolu also has his own plans, making it impossible for Gao Gang to become the king of the Northeast. Xiaolu is ready to choose a king of the Northeast among the giants of the Northeast. If you want to be dispatched to Yan'an, you can do it, but you don't want to be high.

Then Gao Gang has to arrange a place to go. Gao Gang has super willpower, super ability, and good popularity, except for the problems of men and women, the only remaining shortcoming is his pockmarked face.

If Gao Gang is professional and meticulously engaged in oil, he will not be in charge of the ruling party. That way, there won't be such a big thing because of your ambitions. It's to protect him.

Gao Gang was very enthusiastic, he had heard about Xiaolu very well, and now that he had met, he said: "I have heard of you a long time ago, a civil and military all-rounder, and you have created a very good situation in Manchuria." It's not simple. Let's take a chance to talk about it. ”

Xiao Lu said: "I should call you Commander Gao, Director Gao, not Speaker Gao today." I know that Mao Gong wants you to take charge of this matter. Director Gao, I also heard about you a long time ago, and you are an all-round talent. ”

Gao Gang said: "I heard that you recommended me to the chairman?" ”

Xiaolu said: "I didn't name names, I just said that I want a person who is talented, weighty, and familiar with northern Shaanxi." ”

Gao Gang didn't show any gratitude, he was very dignified, and said: "I think it's not easy to engage in oil. ”

Xiaolu said: "It's much easier than when you did the riot and the Red Army." ”

Gao Gang laughed and said, "I think so too." I thought about how to do it, the organization, the organization, the organization, the human and financial resources, everything I could think of, I had gathered first. Cadres, the key is cadres. ”

Xiaolu said: "That's right. ”

Gao Gang said: "Let's have a chat." I heard that there were a lot of White Russians in Manchuria? ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes. In the northeast, there were not only White Russians, but also Koreans, as well as Jews. Nowadays there are a large number of Japanese people. There are a lot of Japanese civilians in Tohoku. Many Japanese spies pretended to be civilians and operated everywhere. By the way, the Japanese are immigrating to the Northeast in large numbers, and they want to change the structure of the Northeast in terms of demographic structure and eventually occupy the Northeast. ”

Gao Gang said: "How did the White Russian come over?" ”

"After the October Revolution, many White Russians opposed the revolution, and they fled, first to Siberia, and later to the Far East. As long as you can survive the long winter, you can live. Sometimes, you don't know when dozens of families crossed the Heilongjiang River and settled in a valley, and a White Russian village was born. Of course, there are many who live in the city. ”

Gao Gang said: "I see. If I have the chance, I'd like to go to the Northeast to have a look. He immediately changed his tune and called it Northeast.

When they arrived at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, the students were already waiting on the playground, and when they saw Gao Gang coming, they applauded together and applauded warmly.

The path looked at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, which was a hillside, and several rows of caves were dug along the hillside, as if it were a three-story building. At the foot of the mountain, there are classrooms, playgrounds, and on the edge of the playground is a horizontal bar and parallel bars basketball court. In front of the playground is a platform for speech. Gao Gang stood on the platform.

Gao Gang said: "Students, there is a task that is very special. So, we use this special way to find people and see who is competent. ”

The classmates were quiet.

Gao Gang said: "Why do you say special? Because our comrade Lu requires that competent people not only understand the business, but also like the job. All I can say is that this position is very important. It is of strategic importance for the life and death of the border region. Now, I would like to invite Comrade Lu to speak. ”

Xiaolu was surprised by Gao Gang's speech. He knew it too deeply. No wonder he gets a high position, his vision is not simple.

Xiaolu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, who has studied chemistry in middle school before?" Raise your hand, please. Half of them raised their hands.

Xiaolu said: "Who studied chemistry in college?" "There were more than a dozen raised hands.

Xiaolu said: "Say you know what the car burns?" Well, everybody knows. Who knows how oil is made? Okay, six classmates. Do you know anything about the petroleum and petrochemical industry in various countries? Okay, it's still the six of you. Let me ask again, if China is engaged in oil, will it import it, or will it find it by itself? Six have something to say? Okay, would you like to have a little meeting with me? ”

Gao Gang said: "Okay." The rest of the classmates disbanded. He said to Xiaolu: "When are you going to leave?" ”

Xiaolu said: "A meeting will be held immediately." Then we prepare instruments, books, weapons and ammunition, radios. When you're ready, you're going. ”

The meeting was a great success, and several people were young and vigorous, with no gains or losses, and no worries about what to do if they couldn't find it: since the organization had this plan, it was better to devote themselves to this cause.

The next day, the oil search team set off and headed north.

March 5, 1939. Jingbian.

The most painful thing about the trail is not the harsh living conditions, but the traffic conditions.

The traffic conditions are so poor. When he was in the Northeast, he set up a railway army very early, and ambushed a large number of internal lines in the railway system, making his transportation in the Northeast very convenient. Here, there is no railway system, no road system, just dirt roads in the countryside, even sheep paths. The team can walk, but not fast.

Xiaolu led a team to Jingbian to look for oil fields, this time it was just exploration, maybe the production committee was too superstitious about Xiaolu, there was no doubt at all, and he didn't think about what to do if he couldn't find it, and immediately began to prepare for the shipment of equipment.

The oil search team consisted of six anti-college students that day, in addition, there was a groom, who was also a logistician, a cook, and a guide.

Gao Gang was very supportive of Xiaolu's work, and assigned them a squad of troops to do security work, and Xiaolu also needed a rifle to carry. In addition, Gao Gang equipped their team with more than 20 horses, except for everyone riding horses, books and instruments and equipment were carried on horses.

Gao Gang also sent messengers to various places along the way, conveying orders, and coordinating various places to provide various services to the team. After walking for a few days, Xiaolu had to admire, Gao Mazi thought thoughtfully, things were done neatly, and the road was very smooth, and they didn't need to worry about chores at all.

It's okay to just get on the road, but after walking for a long time, everyone is not interested, and both sides of the road are the same, almost all of them are yellow ridges.

A young man was very skilled in riding a horse and was very energetic, Xiaolu pulled the horse to his side and said, "Yang Zhengmin, I have a question for you." ”

The young man said, "Excuse me." ”

Xiaolu said: "That day, when I was selecting personnel, you asked what you pretended to know chemistry, and the other five people until the end. Are you so adamant about finding oil? ”

Yang Zhengmin, the son of Yang Hucheng. Martial arts training at an early age. In 1935, 13-year-old Yang Zhengmin accidentally fell and suffered a concussion, which later caused a severe nervous breakdown. In July, Yang Zhengmin set off for Japan accompanied by a doctor. It was very stimulated in Japan, the Japanese discriminated against the Chinese, the industry was developed, and the society was prosperous, all of which stimulated the young Yang Zhengmin.

Influenced by the social trend of thought at that time, Yang Zhengmin's ideology was left-leaning, and he went to Yan'an with a letter of introduction from the underground party when he was a teenager and studied at the Anti-Japanese University.

Historically, he first engaged in the military, and his talent quickly appeared, and later insisted on engaging in the petroleum industry, presiding over the Yumen petroleum industry, and was one of the originators of China's petroleum industry.

Yang Zhengmin: "Yes. Captain Lu, I heard about your agriculture and industry in Yan'an Gao before, and the truth is with you. You're here, and I think it's an opportunity. The first thing you said that day, I decided to participate. No matter what job you do. ”

Xiaolu said: "You are a rich son, although Ling Zun has honed you, but at least you should also engage in the military, how do you think of engaging in industry?" ”

Yang Zhengmin: "I have seen how developed other people's industries are. ”

Koji said: "I know you've been to Japan. ”

Yang Zhengmin: "Japan is really rich. I was shocked to see their modern industry. However, can the advanced bully us? When eating at a restaurant, if he hears that you are Chinese, the Japanese around him will immediately change seats and leave you, as if the Chinese are inferior. ”

Xiaolu said: "Then why did you choose the oil industry?" ”

Yang Zhengmin: "Cars are only available to my father, the privileged people. Airplanes are only available to people like Uncle Zhang. Actually, apart from cars, tanks, tractors, warships, which one can live without oil? In my opinion, oil was the most important factor in China's resistance to Japan. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay. You must know that oil is very hard, and it does not necessarily produce results. Oil is buried in the ground, and no one knows where it can be drilled. ”

Yang Zhengmin laughed and didn't answer positively.

Xiao Lu said: "It seems that you are the only one of the six of you who has not studied chemistry?" ”

Yang Zhengmin: "At present, the number of people is small, and one leader is enough. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay, I want to see how you become a leader." You'll be in charge of the chores along the way. ”

At this time, the guide in front said: "Captain, the county seat is here." ”

Yang Zhengmin said to Xiaolu: "I'll arrange it." When he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped the horse and said to the ears of the path: "I know that you did the incident at the airport at the time of the Xi'an incident." You saved my father's life, thank you. Without waiting for Xiaolu to answer, he patted the horse away.

Yang Zhengmin is really powerful, although he is less than twenty years old, he arranges affairs big and small, and he is the head.

******

1. During his time in Yan'an, Gao Gang served as the commander of the border security (border security office), the director of the production committee, and the chairman of the border district senate.

2, Gao Gang's private life is very chaotic and he is a very controversial person.

3. There is a controversy about him that it is rumored that Gao Gang in the Soviet Union in 1949 had proposed the three eastern provinces as the seventeenth republics of the Soviet Union. Of course, some people think it's made up. Personally, I think that's what he thinks, and he doesn't dare to say that.

4. The process of assigning students to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University: Usually the leaders are directly assigned according to their individual talents, rather than individuals signing up according to their interests.

5, Yang Zhengmin is very talented in military affairs, and he seems to be more suitable for military affairs than industry. However, he was bent on oil. He didn't even ask him to go to the newly created Northwest Air Force as chief of staff. It was only when Xi Zhongxun came forward that Peng Dehuai gave up the idea of asking him to continue in the army. Yang Zhengmin later became the secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee.
