Chapter 285: Earth Fire Oil, Attracting Wolves
A few days later, Xiaolu and the others returned to Jingbian, where the large army and the transport team had just transported the drilling equipment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They drilled the first oil well at the location designated by Xiaolu, and Xiaolu found the operation method of this old-fashioned drilling rig in the computer. Because I only have theory and no experience, I had to explore slowly, and after a few days, I gradually became familiar with the operation and wrote the operating procedures with several technicians.
April 20, 1939. Jingbian.
The first oil well is oiled.
In fact, there is no need to drill wells, and there is oil here, but it flows out of the cracks in the stones, and the amount is very small, and after drilling, the production increases greatly.
Xiaolu felt lucky. He just looked up the mining areas of later generations from the computer data, and also found some pictures and distribution maps of oil wells. The most fortunate thing is to find a few videos about the oil fields in northern Shaanxi. Xiao Lu searched around based on this information, and all the well locations he marked were from these materials.
The reason why this well is the first well is because the location information here is the clearest and the most grasped.
Xiaolu was prepared to drill several wells without producing oil, but I didn't expect the first well to produce oil so quickly. Oil wells can come out of several tons a day, and the oil that comes out fills a row of vats. Once production is determined, the well is sealed.
When the news arrived, the upper echelons of Yan'an were boiling, and a congratulatory telegram from the central government was sent immediately. Moreover, northern Shaanxi immediately decided to take out gold bars to purchase equipment in the national control area and plan oil refining.
Xiaolu handed over the work of finding oil to the production committee, left several reports, and prepared to return to Yichun. The reports he left behind include: a report on the technology of oil refining by the local method, a report on planting potatoes in Jingbian and other places to solve food rations, a report on Yang Zhengmin's work ability, and a report on the work of finding oil.
In the report on the search for oil, he highly praised Gao Gang, saying that Gao Gang had an extremely deep understanding of the strategic position of petroleum, had the concept of advanced modern industry, and had great support for the search for oil, and if he could lead the oil work, he would make great contributions.
Later, Gao Mazi was really assigned by the central government to do oil work. He was very impressed by the virtue of Xiaolu's recommendation, and he made great achievements in the field of petroleum professional work. Because he is engaged in professional work day and night, rather than being on the side of the government, he is exposed to it, and the style of government is closer to the technical side.
April 22, 1939. Jingbian.
Xiaolu prepared a report, took the guard squad, and prepared to leave Jingbian, go to Yan'an, and then return to Yichun. Before the horse team left the small village where the oil field was located, they saw a large group of cavalry coming from the direction of Jingbian, neatly dressed and armed with guns.
Xiao Lu's heart sank. Here comes the worst fear. The oil fields are blood, and the sharks are coming. Unexpectedly, the shark came too quickly.
The shark that came this time was the 22nd Army of the Kuomintang Army, from Yulin.
Xiaolu said to a guard: "Go back to the village immediately and tell everyone to prepare." Call Yang Zhengmin. He patted his horse and said, "Are you a brother of the 22nd Army?" ”
The other party was stunned: How do you know that we are from the 22nd Army?
Jing Yuexiu is a warlord of Yulin who has guarded Yulin for decades. In 1928, Jing Yuexiu's department was reorganized into the 86th Division of the Kuomintang Army, with Jing Yuexiu as the division commander.
One of Jing Yuexiu's great achievements was to prevent the independence of Inner Mongolia in the second year of the Republic of China.
In 1936, Jing Yuexiu died and was succeeded by Gao Shuangcheng as division commander.
Jing Yuexiu's death is said to be a pistol that fell to the ground and misfired, and the other is said to be an assassination.
In July 1938, after the outbreak of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government expanded the 86th Division into the 22nd Army of the Kuomintang Army in order to strengthen the defense force in the northwest region, and the troops were ordered to garrison the Yulin area of Shaanxi Province and belong to the 21st Army Corps. Gao Shuangcheng served as the army commander, under the jurisdiction of the 86th Division, and Gao Shuangcheng also served as the division commander.
The 22nd Army was stationed in Yulin, forming an encirclement of Yan'an. However, the relationship between Yan'an and Yulin was good, and in April 1937, Zhou Xiaozhou and Gao Shuangcheng signed a secret agreement on mutual non-aggression and joint resistance to Japan, laying the foundation for peace with northern Shaanxi.
Listening to the path that they were the 22nd Army, the people on the other side were surprised, how did they know their whereabouts?
Xiaolu said: "Jingbian is the defense area of our Eighth Road. Ladies and gentlemen, we should entertain you, please come into the village and sit down. Who are you? ”
On the other side, he said: "Deputy Chief of Staff of the Major of the 86th Division of the 22nd Army, Gao Jiaji." ”
Xiaolu said: "Below is the lieutenant general commander of the Northeast Army of the Eighteenth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Lu Xiaoming. ”
When Gao Jiaji heard this, he was very surprised, and immediately saluted and said, "Lieutenant General Lu, I have heard of the name for a long time." Didn't expect to meet here. ”
The group entered the village, and Yang Zhengmin also greeted them.
Xiao Lu introduced: "This is our major chief of staff, Yang Zhengmin. From now on, it's up to him to deal with you. ”
Xiao Lu gave Yang Zhengmin the rank of major, so that he could deal with the other party.
Entering the house, Xiao Lu said, "Major Gao, may I ask what you are doing here?" ”
Gao Jiaji said: "Our army commander heard that the Eighth Road had found the treasure and ordered me to take a look. ”
Xiaolu said: "This is a test well, and from this well alone, there is no need for further research. But we don't give up. However, the oil business is a money-burning business. Burning money? Let's put it this way. I'm looking for oil here, you're burning money there, let's race, who's faster? Of course I'm fast. Westerners conclude that China is an oil-poor country. However, our Communist Party is a little unconvinced, and we have to fight. ”
Gao Jiaji said: "I see. ”
Xiaolu said: "I am also a minority in the Eighth Road, and many people oppose me, saying that I am a waste of money. Instead of spending so much money, it is better to buy weapons to fight the war. Well, I have a proposal. ”
Gao Jiaji said: "Please speak." ”
Xiaolu said: "We in northern Shaanxi and you Yulin are jointly engaged in oil searching, but we can't find oil, and the lost investment is safe and destiny, and we find oil, and the profits are shared proportionally." If oil is found, and the price of oil plummets, the losses are also proportionate. ”
Gao Jiaji said: "Then how to pay?" How to divide it? ”
Xiaolu said: "We have spent four million dollars on the initial investment, plus we have the technology to find oil, it is seventy percent, you take four million dollars, three percent, how about it?" ”
Gao Jiaji heard Xiaolu say that he would burn money, and knew that this kind of thing would cost a lot of money, but he didn't want to fight at such a sky-high price, he was a little shocked and a little unconvinced, and said, "This is not something I can decide." I believe there is room for negotiation. ”
Xiaolu said: "There is room for negotiation. We are friends. However, investing in oil costs a lot of money, and you don't have to think about it without a million dollars in shares. Also, be risk-aware. If you can't find oil, you're bankrupt. But don't be afraid. I believe in finding, and I believe in making a fortune. ”
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Lu said: "It's better like this, Major Gao, you arrange for me to meet with the commander of your army." I can convince Yan'an to use the money I get to find oil, and I can also persuade your military commander to invest in oil. How is it? ”
Gao Jiaji took a few wolf skins sent by Xiaolu and returned to Yulin. After arriving in Yulin, he said the words of the road to Gao Shuangcheng.
Gao Shuangcheng received the news that Yan'an sent someone to hunt for treasures, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What treasures can there be under this mountain of loess stones? Gao Jiaji is young and has a lively brain, saying that there may really be a baby, because there are many foreign students in Yan'an, maybe he will find a baby. If we find a treasure at our doorstep, we don't take advantage of it, it's a loss.
Gao Shuangcheng felt that it made sense, so he sent Gao Jiaji to take a look. I don't want to, the baby I was looking for turned out to be oil. Oil is the refining of foreign oil, which is only available on the territory of foreigners, so can we have it in this place? Net.
After listening to this, Gao Shuangcheng learned that the search for oil was completely the result of Xiaolu's boasting, so he asked Gao Jiaji what kind of person Xiaolu was.
Gao Jiaji said: "This person is a madman. He can say that what is not there is, people are very smart, bold, thoughtful, and whimsical. I don't think he can find oil, and he is not even sure of himself. ”
Several people in Yulin discussed it and agreed that Balu was crazy to get a few dollars in donations from overseas. It is estimated that they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and four or five million are bragging. Now looking for oil, the money is spent, and I want to take our military expenses in Yulin, empty gloves white wolf. Ignore him. We look at the jokes and don't believe that these dirt roads can make treasures.
