Chapter 247: The Oil of Borneo
Looking at Commander Lin, who was pretending to be laughing, General Chen sighed lightly, lit a cigarette, and looked around at the warships. I thought to myself, "I'd rather die on the battlefield like Nelson than wait in my office to retire!" ”
Looking up at the vast sea with misty waves, he muttered in a low voice, "Navy, the navy's last destination is the sea!" ”
On the Japanese fleet, which was following the rear of the Grand Fleet from afar, the officers and men of the Japanese Navy were looking at the Grand Fleet in the distance and the Nagato slowly entering the dock with complicated eyes!
The commander of this fleet is Yamamoto Isoroku, a name that makes Gao Yang feel like thunder. At this moment, he was looking at his former opponent in the distance expressionlessly from the aircraft carrier Fengxiang.
"The Imperial Navy is over, and it is impossible to rise again without twenty years!" His chief of staff, Jizaburo Ozawa, who escaped from the battlefield in the Yellow Sea and was criticized in the Japanese Navy after returning home, said with a cold face.
Although Jizaburo Ozawa was ordered to retreat by his superiors, and Kamaguchi Michisho also sent him a telegram of the official evacuation order.
But! With the entire fleet wiped out, Jizaburo Ozawa, who was barely alive, suffered a lot in the Japanese Navy!
Cowards, cowards, greedy for life and afraid of death, national thieves! All the names were forcibly placed on his head!
Jizaburo Ozawa is not a man who is afraid of death, and in the face of insults from his former colleagues, he chose to remain silent. There was only one thought in his heart, he couldn't let Commander Kamaguchi Michichi's kindness go to waste!
During this time, Jizaburo Ozawa, who had no position, devoted himself to the study of the naval battle of Jeju Island, and painstakingly wrote a book on the future development of naval aviation!
He proposed to form a special task force attack fleet centered on aircraft carriers, and completely use the powerful striking power of naval aviation to destroy opponents at a long distance! This work has been valued by Yamamoto Isoroku!
However, when Jizaburo Ozawa learned that the cabinet had sold the hope of the navy, the Akagi and Kaga, to Takyo, his faith collapsed!
As the captain of the only aircraft carrier in active service in the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto's status reached its apex after the Nagato and Kongo were compensated!
He replaced a large number of old-fashioned old generals. Unexpectedly serve as the commander of the Combined Fleet reorganized after the war!
After he took office, he vigorously promoted young officers who were young and promising, and Ozawa Jizaburo was the best in Yamamoto's eyes. At the same time, the old guys who still cling to the belief in the big ships and cannons were kicked into the reserves.
Yamamoto's approach caused a huge wave of opposition in the Japanese Navy! However, he had the support of Emperor Hirohito!
Hirohito, who is extremely tired of the old guys who boast about their achievements decades ago and will not let go until they die, fully supports the young officers he trusts to carry out large-scale innovation in the Japanese Navy and Army!
Yamamoto is Hirohito's favored naval commander. Anyway, the navy doesn't have much strength now, so let him toss it.
After listening to Ozawa Jizaburo's words, Yamamoto sighed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Twenty years is too long!" We can't wait! ”
Jizaburo Ozawa looked at him expressionlessly and said in a cold voice, "Then what should we do?" Both the Akagi and Kaga were sold. The Wu Navy Factory is also gone, what else can we do? Could it be that just by virtue of the Fengxiang, the miracle of the Jeju Island naval battle can be repeated? ”
Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "Now is the time for the Great Japanese Empire to lie down and taste the courage. I'm also sad about the Akagi and Kaga! However, it is a must-do! The empire needs money now! ”
Jizaburo Ozawa said with a miserable face: "The fleet is gone, and the shipyard is gone. What is the use of money alone! Now what do we take to defend the country! Is it just these broken ships? ”
Yamamoto's eyes rolled, and he whispered with a serious expression, "The fleet is gone, and it can be rebuilt!" The Kure Naval Yard is gone, and we still have the Yokosuka Shipyard! Let me tell you the news, now the empire is negotiating with the United States, and it is very promising to get the latest aircraft carrier full set of production technology! ”
"Huh?!" Jizaburo Ozawa's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked at him with a look of surprise and said, "Really? ”
"Really." Yamamoto nodded. said in a low voice: "The cabinet is ready to use all the money to the people of the United States!" It's not just about buying machines, it's about all kinds of production techniques! Ozawa-kun, all we have to do now is be patient! Put away his claws and teeth, and quietly hide to the side and watch Gao Yang fight against the whole world! Wait until we regain our strength again. Everything you have lost now must be doubled back! ”
Just when the Japanese were lying on their back, ready to accumulate strength, and waiting for the day of revenge. Gao Yang, who is in the magic capital, is signing a new civil order at this moment. Tax free again! All agricultural taxes are exempted, and industrial and commercial taxes are reduced by half again!
An agrarian country that relies on digging in the soil will not be able to make its way out! The exemption from agricultural taxes allows the peasants, who make up the vast majority of the country's population, to stand by his side completely!
Development of industry and commerce. Investing heavily in infrastructure to boost the country's economy is the right path for development.
Transportation, which is the basis of economic development, is the first project to be arranged. "If you want to get rich, build roads first." This phrase is a universal norm in any era.
Build railways and roads. To put it another way, it's steel. Cement! These two materials, which are extremely lacking in this time and space, are so abundant in modern time and space that they are overflowing!
What Gao Yang has to do is to bring the oil and other materials in the target time and space to the modern time and space, exchange them for various urgently needed industrial products, and then transport them back.
A large amount of oil extraction equipment bought from modern time and space has been lined up on the land of Borneo according to the map provided by Gao Yang.
Gao Yang had already known when he searched the data in modern time and space that in 1930, the annual oil production of Borneo had exceeded 6 million tons!
And after a few decades, that number has increased more than tenfold! The proven recoverable reserves of the whole of Borneo are as high as nearly one billion tons!
That's nearly seven billion barrels of crude oil, which is an astronomical fortune at a price of about $100 per barrel in modern time and space!
Gao Yang needs this wealth to develop a poor country into a superpower, and the materials needed are almost endless!
Hundreds of oil wells were erected on Borneo land. A steady stream of black gold was loaded into huge oil storage tanks, waiting for Gao Yang to transport it away. Gao Yang no longer worries about where the huge amount of oil that has been extracted has been discovered.
The whole of Borneo has become a place where water cannot be splashed and needles cannot penetrate. No spy could operate on the land, and the white target was too obvious. Aboriginal words, Borneo is still native?
No matter who they are, as long as they are engaged in espionage activities, once they are caught, there is only one fate waiting for them, to be a flagpole in the sea off Pontianak Port!
On a sunny day, Gao Yang came to this land on a naval warship. After coming ashore in Brunei, looking at the kowtowing machines in the oil field area, Gao Yang nodded slightly. That's what he needs most!
Brunei, a small country in modern time and space, actually has an output of 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day! Beneath this narrow land lies more than 200 million tons of crude oil! Gao Yang, who was envious and jealous of all kinds, chose his primary target here.
Huge improvised oil storage tanks have been built, and billowing black gold is poured into these huge tanks through pipes.
After leaving a coordinate point here. Gao Yang packed all the oil into the storage space and returned to the modern time and space.
A large number of oil tankers under the name of SC Trading Company have been prepared and are waiting for Gao Yang to load oil. After loading the tanker with crude oil, Gao Yang, who had a relaxed face, asked President Nzouba, "Nothing has happened lately, right?" ”
"Sir, Mr. Zhao Chengze came to me some time ago. He said that he could sell or lease a batch of large oil tankers to China to transport crude oil. President Nzouba said.
"Oh." Gao Yang nodded and said, "Promise him and buy it directly." The payment for the goods was recorded and paid for with oil. All of them are under the name of SC Trading Company, and they are all done by our people. This is important to note. Anything else? ”
"Yes, sir." President Nzuba replied, then said, "Then there are people from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries who want my country to join the organization. ”
"Huh?" Gao Yang was slightly stunned. Then he smiled and said, "It's OPEC, don't pay attention to them, just say that your country does not produce oil, and you are not qualified to join this organization!" ”
"Yes. Sir. President Nzuba replied in a deep voice.
Gao Yang looked up at the seagulls flying in the distance, feeling the light sea breeze, and his heart moved slightly. Asked in a low voice, "Have the French been doing anything lately?" ”
"Sir, according to credible intelligence, the French are inciting their neighbors to prepare for war against us." President Nzuba said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Gao Yang looked at him with a surprised face and said, "Really? ”
"It's true, sir." "Recently, my neighbors have been sending planes to conduct air violations, conducting reconnaissance violations, and their navy has tried to intercept our oil tankers," said President Nzuba seriously. ”
"It's funny!" Gao Yang laughed angrily. "What cats and dogs dare to provoke me?"
"Sir, my army is under-strengthened and doesn't have any advanced weapons. Intelligence says that the French are ready to provide a lot of weapons support to their neighbors in the name of an arms deal, at very low prices, and all on the books! Those poor devils who are only left with their lives ready to attack my country in the name of Clash of Clans! President Nzuba said in a somewhat anxious tone.
"Huh?" Gao Yang looked at him with some surprise and said, "You have a deep affection for this country." ”
"He's President Nzuba, he just has to obey your orders!" The origin who had been quiet suddenly said loudly.
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Zhao Cheng is here?" ”
"Sir, Zhao Cheng went to the Dananlore area to check the uranium mining area. But he should be back in Libreville today. President Nzouba said.
"Go find him and let him come to me." Gao Yang said lightly, "My son is going to be beaten, it's time to find a godfather." (To be continued......)
