Section 746 Offshore oil wells
After Riefenstahl interviewed Yang Chao, her documentary is over, in fact, she doesn't like to use this kind of expression with narration, in her documentary, there are often only silent shots, but these are Wang Qiu's requests, and at the same time, she also feels that some things are really difficult to express if they don't use this way, so they added this only explanation as an outline.

Yang Chao's explanation, coupled with the pictures of China's strong heritage behind, there are large-scale hydropower in the southwest, a high-density railway network all over the country, an industrial zone connected by Shandong, and a huge naval fleet, which is very revealing, and will definitely make the rich and strong party gain extremely high support, but it is also the best national propaganda film in China, which will give hope to a large number of backward countries struggling under the oppression of Western industrial countries, just like the attraction given to them by Soviet Russia, but the sequelae of Soviet Russia are too great, China's model without sequelae may be easier to learn and imitate, and the export of the system is actually the largest cultural export.
With the films made by world-class directors like Riefenstahl, which will unleash China's influence exponentially, bringing strong hope to countless future generations, Yang Chao is also interested in helping them become stronger, especially in the Americas, because where the United States is too dominant, which is not a good thing.
In fact, countries in the Americas are already following this path, with Brazil and Mexico being two typical examples.
They also have this foundation, because now they are all national politicians who have come to power and have a strong desire to strengthen the country.
Brazil's Vargas and Mexico's Cárdenas are such figures, they both have a strong tendency to economic independence, a strong tendency to build industry, but they have no technical reserves, no industrial base, these Yang Chao can be given to them, but they are short of money.
Yang Chao can also give them these, but not in vain, otherwise they will doubt the intentions of the Chinese.
Iron ore in Brazil, oil in Mexico, these are their funds.
A few years ago, Yang Chao told the Brazilian government that he had discovered another huge iron ore in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which is indeed very large, with a predicted reserve of 11.5 billion tons, but the average grade is a little worse, only 41%, but it is also relatively rich in iron ore, but it cannot be compared with the iron ore in Minas and Pará.
The Brazilian government demanded that foreign capital should not have a controlling stake, not more than 30% at most, and they were willing to let Standard Chartered Mining, a subsidiary of the Yang Zi consortium, hold 40%, which was an additional privilege, but Yang Chao still did not agree, because Yang Chao did not care about the iron mine.
It wasn't until Vargas came to power that Yang Chao reached an agreement with him, he still didn't care much about this iron mine, the output of this iron mine was prepared for Brazilians, it was for the steel mill built by Vargas, it has been 7 years, and the iron mine has now reached 20 million tons a year, except for a small part exported to Europe, most of it is consumed by Brazilian steel companies.
Vargas kept the price very low, the iron ore was almost unprofitable, Yang Chao also didn't care, but continued to help Brazil establish a complete set of military industry, this European war, so that Brazil made a small fortune, steel, arms and even shipbuilding, all got business, for the first time began to make a profit.
Needless to say, Mexico has oil reserves, so that it is impossible for them to be poor, but in the past they were controlled by the Anglo-American consortium, and the Mexicans could only drink some soup, and it was a clear soup, and now it is good, they seized the opportunity, recovered the oil assets, and with the intervention of China, broke the Anglo-American blockade, and could sell oil to China in exchange for huge foreign exchange.
However, with the temperament of the Latin nation, Yang Chao is really worried that Cárdenas immediately began to engage in welfare programs, and spent all the money that was easy to earn for the people, so how could they still be strong, if there was no external crisis, it is estimated that the Mexicans would really be able to spend the huge wealth they suddenly obtained, and turn it into the profits of the Americans, just like their ancestors The Spaniards, the gold and silver plundered back from the Americas, changed hands and gave them to Britain and France, becoming the accumulation of people to complete industrialization.
So Yang Chao did everything possible to provoke the intervention of the Americans, if Yang Chao did not intervene, the United States would not intervene, they would use blockades and embargoes to make Mexico's oil production fall to the bottom, and it would no longer be an important oil producer, until the end of World War II, when it was too late, the United States was already a world hegemon, and the Mexicans could not turn the sky over.
However, China intervened and forcibly broke through the US blockade, which not only allowed Mexico to resume oil production ahead of schedule, and at the same time that the oil and gas pipeline was repaired to the west coast of Mexico, with the help of Chinese equipment and technicians, they restored all the oil wells that were closed by Britain and the United States, and drilled more new wells, restoring oil production to the level of 20 years ago, and increasing slightly, reaching 200 million tons per year.
Although their oil is sold very cheaply, only 50 cents a barrel, but this is also a $100 million input, minus production costs, the net profit is definitely more than half, this net income of more than 50 million, except for a small part of the debt interest, the vast majority of the funds available in the hands of the government.
After the Americans blockaded their offshore gas fields, the Mexican people were extremely angry, anti-American sentiment and national sentiment were high, and in this situation, the Cárdenas government said that it would put all oil imports into industrial construction, which was unanimously supported by the whole country.
For a country with a population of only about 20 million, it is enough to establish a military industrial system that meets its own needs, but it is far from enough to establish a military industrial system that is sufficient to challenge the United States.
At least they still lack shipyards, and they lack the ability to build warships, especially capital ships, which can not be done simply by spending money, Japan only created a strong shipbuilding industry in the 30 years of the Meiji Restoration, behind which is a continuous shipbuilding subsidy and shipping subsidy, Mexicans cannot have this kind of courage and patience, so their best choice is to buy a ship.
However, in the long run, buying a ship is more expensive than building a ship, but in the short term, it can form combat effectiveness, and the only thing is to spend money.
So Mexico needs more money, otherwise they would not have had the courage to challenge the United States.
They do not lack wishes, they do not lack ambition, only courage.
They ordered 30 small ships from the North Koreans, the largest of which was only a 5,000-ton cruiser, because the North Koreans' shipbuilding capacity is also here, so far it is impossible to produce 10,000-ton giant ships for them, which can be produced several times, and it is not something that Mexicans can afford, because an aircraft carrier like the American Imperialist Essex class costs 37 million US dollars, and a battleship full of armor is even more expensive, more than 60 million US dollars.
Therefore, it is enough for them to order these small ships to satisfy the vanity of a navy of a certain size, and let them challenge the US imperialist navy, which is the world's first-rate navy, and they will not go crazy for the time being.
However, if their annual oil income is not 100 million, but 1 billion, and they can buy a large fleet with 10 capital ships in a year, will they still have the courage to live under the obscenity of the US imperialism as they do now?
With an annual income of one billion, with the price of oil in Mexico, it will have a production capacity of 2 billion barrels, which seems to be a fantasy, the Americans have drilled oil wells for more than 80 years, and the oil production is only 1.5 billion barrels, why should Mexico?
With their offshore oil fields!
Mexico has a peak production of 3.4 million barrels per day with their offshore fields, and in the short term, although the technical capabilities of Yangzi Petroleum Company cannot do this, it is still possible to reach 1 million barrels per day, 400 million barrels per year, and 600 million barrels per year with their 200 million barrels of onshore oilfields.
To make them earn $1 billion a year, 600 million barrels is obviously not enough, plus natural gas is not enough, so Yang Chao promised them to raise the price, under the crooked tweet of Petroleos Mexicanos, last month Yang Chao promised to give them 1 barrel of 1 dollar according to the price of oil in the United States, but asked them to ensure oil production, otherwise it will affect the security of China's oil supply.
The Mexican agreed to this request with a smile, and suddenly had an extra income of 300 million a year.
Provided, of course, that their offshore oil fields are discovered.
This is not a problem, after Li Guang's team blocked the offshore gas field in the sea area of Matamoros by the Americans, he led the team south, because Yang Chao told him that there was potential for oil mines in the waters near Campeche Bay in Mexico, and asked him to take people to try to drill.
The location told him that with the help of excellent offshore ********, Li Guang's team drilled a jet well in the first month, and then discovered an oil well in an average of half a month, and during the European war in half a year, Li Guang's team drilled 15 oil wells, and all of them were high-yield oil wells, with an average daily output of more than 60,000 barrels of crude oil.
This production is not surprising, because Campeche Bay is the largest producer of Mexican oil, and the Cantarel oil field, which is composed of five oil fields here, is the second largest oil field in the world, accounting for two-thirds of Mexico's national oil production, because it has just been exploited, the Cantarelli oil field is recognized as the second largest oil field area in the world, second only to the Middle East oil field area, every well is now a self-blowout well, which is not much, you must know that the world record is set by the oil field of Mexico, the record is 210,000 barrels per day.
With the help of Yang Chao's information, Li Guang's team has set up oil well platforms in three of the oil fields.
Moreover, the new oil field has just been developed, and it is not a miracle that the oil layer is the thickest and easiest to exploit, and 13 oil wells produce 1 million barrels of crude oil per day.
But the Mexicans were so happy that Cárdenas had already awarded medals to everyone in Lee's team, giving them the title of Honorary National of Mexico, and so on.
These people have indeed become Mexican heroes, and every time they are exhausted and reincarnated from the offshore platform, there are a large group of Mexican patriotic young people cheering at them, especially when the US fleet is hovering in the Gulf of Mexico to block Mexican gas wells, but Mexico is constantly drilling oil wells of its own from non-disputed waters, which is like a slap in the face to the Americans.
It's just that Rockefeller, who encouraged the U.S. government to send a fleet to blockade the Gulf of Mexico, became more and more bitter, and seeing that Mexico's oil production was getting higher and higher, he regretted losing the right to exploit oil here.
