Chapter 341

After the inspection team's on-the-spot inspection, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States respectively put forward the requirements of 30 percent, 10 percent, 5 percent, and 2 percent respectively on the basis of the world's current oil exploitation technology and estimated storage capacity of the Dabulgan oilfield. In other words, nearly half of the oil extracted by Huaguo from the Greater Bulgan will be taken away by the four countries, and although they will pay the corresponding expenses, the strategic resource of oil is not at all comparable to money.

Hua reluctantly agreed to this share demand, but on the condition that the countries must pay in steel. After thinking that the diplomats who had succeeded in snatching the food were satisfied, Britain also sent additional troops to Iraq, Yemen and other places to exert pressure on China.

The real situation is that Huaguo has concealed its own oil exploitation technology, and what is displayed in front of the inspection delegation is the world's mainstream exploitation equipment at this stage, and in fact, Huaguo's oil exploitation capacity is more than three times higher than the current level. Moreover, more advanced oil exploration technology has also made the oil storage capacity of the Dabulgan oil field larger, and the above cheating methods can minimize the share of the four countries. More than 90 percent of the oil extracted from the oil fields will be retained by China.

According to a report by Xie Guang, chief oilfield engineer, the Dabulgan oilfield will provide 50 percent of China's current oil extraction, with low extraction difficulty, shallow burial depth, large reserves, and higher quality light crude oil than domestic oil fields. For Huaguo, the top of a big Bulgan oil field on the top of the five victory oil fields!

As soon as he put down the documents about the Dabulgan oil field, Lu Min came over and sent bad news: there was an armed conflict between the Korean Myeongkook and the Republic of Korea, and at Panmunjom near the 38th parallel, an infantry company of the Korean Myeongkook strayed into the territory of the Republic of Korea and was attacked by the North Korean army. After an exchange of fire, the two sides killed and wounded more than a dozen people each, and then withdrew from the area where the fire was exchanged. On that day, the armies of the two countries were like additional troops in the conflict zone, and more than 20,000 soldiers have now faced off near Panmunjom. And accompanied by sporadic artillery fire.

This is a big trouble, for China, it is now in a critical period of economic construction, and even a small-scale regional war will delay China's strategic planning. It's just that the Republic of Korea is one of China's closest allies, and the Korean Peninsula is also at the forefront of the confrontation between China, the United States, and Japan.

"Stop moving forward and return to Wuhan immediately. Give me information about the Korean Peninsula for the last two years. China's garrisons in Korea and Northeast China, and Japan's garrisons in Korea. Lu Liang said to Lu Min, it seems that the investigation of the Yumen oil field can only be terminated, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula is tense, and it cannot help but make Lu Liang nervous.

The political situation on the Korean Peninsula, which is separated by a river from the northeast, underwent major changes after the end of the War of the Anti-China Alliance. After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, each of the three countries stationed troops on the Korean Peninsula in accordance with the armistice agreement. Russia occupies the north, Japan occupies the south, and China occupies the middle position.

At the end of 1906, Russia's army defeat in the Far East completely withdrew from the northeastern part of China, which led to the lowest level of control over Korea. Due to logistical supply difficulties, the lack of national strength, and repeated harassment by the Korean Independence Army led by Yoo Jae-shi, Nicholas II decided to withdraw from Korea. The northern part was transferred to Hua in exchange for the condition that Hua would not attack Vladivostok, Boli and other regions.

As a result, the power of the Chinese state occupied most of Korea. The Japanese were greatly oppressed in southern Korea, but this was the last line of defense for the Japanese mainland, and if they were lost, they would face the advance of the Chinese army. Japan was under tremendous pressure to send two more divisions to the southern part of Korea, and at the same time, due to the eagerness of China to enter the stage of domestic construction, the shortage of troops, and the difficulty of logistics and transportation. In the end, there was no attack on the Japanese-occupied zone in southern Korea.

When the Americans entered Japan, the situation in Korea changed again, and with the support of the Americans, the Japanese troops stationed in Korea were adequately supplied in terms of strength and logistics. At the same time, seeing the emptiness of the Korean Republic of Korea and the concentration of Hwa on domestic construction, the Japanese army began to instigate the Korean Myeongkook troops established in the south to continue to infiltrate the north.

On the diplomatic front, Japan has also joined forces with the United States to exert pressure on China. He said that Russia's transfer of northern Korea to China did not meet the requirements of the original armistice agreement, and that it was illegal without the consent of the country concerned, Japan, and the United States, the mediating power. The Japanese even directly invited U.S. troops to land from Pusan, citing the fact that the United States, the mediator country, was responsible for maintaining peace on the Korean Peninsula.

When the veteran soldiers of an American infantry regiment entered North Korea, the situation became out of control. China, which had acquired large islands such as the Philippines and large land territories such as Mongolia, Northeast China, and Xinjiang, faced the embarrassment of insufficient troops after the end of the war. Originally, the army of nearly 500,000 was simply not enough to defend such a large area, and the expansion of the army took time, and the Huaguo, which had shifted its focus to economic construction, was not allowed to focus all its energy on expanding the army.

Eventually, China made a compromise and began a dialogue with Japan and the United States in Seoul to discuss the redivision of power on the Korean Peninsula. In addition, the southern Korean Myungkook, which was established in August 1906, and the Republic of Korea, which was established in the north in July 1906, also sent representatives to participate, but only as observers, and it was the two giants of China and the United States who really led the process of the meeting.

The representatives of the Chinese country in the negotiations have always been at a disadvantage, and all conditions are unfavorable to the Chinese country, and the negotiation process has gradually shifted to the side of Japan and the United States. China made a huge concession, and the two sides agreed to take the 38th parallel as the boundary, with the north belonging to the Republic of Korea and the south to the Korean Myeongguo. No country is allowed to station troops on the Korean Peninsula. In the end, the focus of the dispute between the two sides was on Jeju Island.

The Chinese side believed that Jeju Island was part of the inalienable territory of China and had belonged to China since ancient times, but it was later administered by North Korea. Later, a large number of historical materials and archaeological discoveries were taken out to prove its authenticity, and it was also proved through bone identification that the locals of Jeju Island belonged to the Chinese nation.

In the face of China's huge concessions, Japan and the United States could not continue to entangle, so they had no choice but to recognize China's control over Jeju Island. Only Roh Moo-sun, President of the Republic of Korea, strongly protested against this, but it was ignored by the representatives of various countries.

Another person who held back his emotions was the President of the Republic of Korea, Yoo Jae-shi, the leader of the DPRK who was held up by the Chinese state, who immediately ordered him to move out of Seoul, the former capital of the Republic, to the new capital, Pyongyang.

Although he was still respectful to Hua Guo on the surface, from this time on, the idea of getting rid of Hua Guo's control and being independent took root in Liu Zaishi's heart, and as the head of a country, he was completely unable to control the fate of the country and individuals, which was a terrible feeling. Liu Zaishi first asked China for support in developing its own industry and agriculture, and striving to achieve self-sufficiency in some munitions; He also worked hard to expand the army, and by August 1908, Liu had 300,000 troops under his command, and the conditions for military unification were met, and his ambitions grew wildly with the expansion of the army.

After the border conflict, Liu Zaishi immediately gathered his cronies to discuss the response policy, and unlike usual, there were no Chinese people among the participants!

"Comrades, things are very clear, and now the question is whether we should take the initiative to attack or not!" Liu Zaishi stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked around and said calmly.

From the leading brother when he assassinated the Japanese prime minister, to the current president of a country, Liu Zaishi's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few years.

After leaving San Francisco, Liu Zaishi and others arrived in Shanghai under the escort of agents of the Investigation Bureau, where they established the Korean Independence Committee to recruit people with lofty ideals in exile and carry out an independence movement. With the covert support of the Chinese state, the independence movement of Liu Zaishishi's chairman soon received a response from all sides, and a large number of Korean intellectuals arrived in Shanghai by various means to join the organization.

Kim Jong-woo of the Independent Committee also set up a military training camp in the Dandong area of northeastern China to recruit Korean youths for military training with the support of the Chinese army. Establish a branch of the Independent Committee within the DPRK to propagate the idea of independence. After the end of the war, the situation eased, Liu Zaishi and others immediately returned to the area controlled by the Chinese state of Korea, formed a political party, planned to build the country, and finally established the Republic of Korea, Liu Zaeshi served as the first president, Ji Tingzhen became the prime minister of the republic, and Kim Jong-yu served as the commander-in-chief of the army.

"From a military point of view, the military strength of Myeongkook of Korea was weak, and after the Japanese and Americans left one after another in accordance with the provisions of the treaty, Roh Moo-sun, the president of Myeongkook, of Korea, vigorously recruited troops. Although he had an army of 200,000 men, he was poorly equipped, poorly trained, and lacked morale. On the other hand, in our army, the 300,000-strong troops of the Li Guangzhu Army, the Jiang Xijian Army, and the Hedong Xun Army Corps have all been trained by Huaguo instructors, and some of the officers have also studied at the Huaguo Military Academy, and they have excellent tactical quality and command level. Our army has 2,500 artillery pieces, 250 cars, 35 tanks, and 120 aircraft, and these heavy weapons are not equipped at all, and the other side has less than a thousand artillery pieces. From this point of view, our army has overwhelming strength, and I can guarantee that within two months, we will completely defeat the army of Daehan Myeongguk, capture Seoul, and capture Rok Moo-sun! The army commander-in-chief and the physically strong Kim Jong-yu spoke first, and among these people, only Kim Jong-yu could compete with Liu Zae-shi in momentum, and the army of the Republic of Korea could be said to be founded by Kim Jong-yu, and he had the prestige second only to Liu Zae-shi in controlling the army.
