The good news is one after another, and the Mexican gas field is out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As early as last year, after Yang Chao reached a deal with Mexico to allow him to drill for oil offshore Mexico, Yang Chao excluded Yang Zi's team.

The team was led by geologist Li Guang, who had previously led people to drill for oil in the waters off Brunei, using the same equipment as the offshore platform used to build the Bohai Tunnel.

The construction of a Bohai oil field has allowed the Chinese to accumulate rich experience in seamount operations and master the world's most advanced offshore platform technology.

After the Bohai Tunnel was completed, Yang Chao had the offshore platform overhauled and then sent them to Brunei waters to drill for oil.

In three years, Li Guang's team drilled two oil wells and one natural gas well off the coast of Brunei, and most importantly, they had a wealth of experience in offshore operations, and the offshore platform was upgraded and improved accordingly, and finally completely turned into an advanced oil mobile platform.

But the 50,000-ton guy didn't have an easy time moving, and despite removing all the detachable equipment, it took them two months to tow the platform to the Gulf of Mexico, another month to install the equipment, and a third month to start drilling.

But just as Mussolini was able to easily drill oil in Libya, gas can easily be drilled in the right place.

Because in the field of oil development, the most difficult thing is often to explore oil, that is, to find oil, in later generations, in this field, there are professional companies to operate, and the profits are quite lucrative, Yangzi Petroleum Company actually also plays the role of this exploration company, because the agreement with the Mexican government is that the ownership is Petroleos Mexicanos.

But when the gas was drilled, Petroleos Mexicanos was disappointed, because they wanted oil, and they hoped to drill oil wells offshore, but it turned out to be natural gas.

Mexico has no shortage of natural gas, and the natural gas fields of Reynosa and Savinas in northern Mexico have long been drilled by the Americans, both of which are on the Mexican border, across the Rio Grande from the United States, and the Rockefeller gas pipeline is even connected to these gas fields.

But in recent years, few countries have been using natural gas, and the United States has a market demand, which is mainly used for heating, so Americans are keen to transport natural gas from the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago through pipelines, because only the north needs heating, and the whole country of Mexico is in the south, close to the equator, heating? Take a fart.

Mexicans don't care about this natural gas field, if Yang Chao makes a move at this time, Mexico will not hesitate to sell the gas field to Yang Chao.

But Yang Chao felt that it was not yet time, because the Americans had not yet taken the bait.

So I sent someone to give Mexico an idea, provided 10 million US dollars of equipment in advance, helped the Mexicans bring natural gas to the shore first, and built a large-scale natural gas plant on the shore, the main equipment in the factory is storage tanks and compressors.

Obviously, this plant is used to process compressed natural gas.

However, these facilities have not been built yet, and the Americans do not care, after all, natural gas is not valuable to them, and American oil companies will be disappointed every time they drill gas wells, because they want oil.

It's still early, and Yang Chao is not in a hurry.

But the French were in a hurry, because the Nazi iron cavalry drove into Czechoslovakia without any notice.

Well, the mentality of Czechoslovakia, in fact, is the same as that of the French a year later, that is, it is cool.

They first betrayed Britain and France at the Munich Agreement, and ceded the Sudetenland to Germany, this area is a crater, like a horseshoe, protecting Czechoslovakia in it, losing the Sudetenland not only makes Czechoslovakia unsafe, the Nazi armored corps will not encounter obstacles at all, and the Sudetenland is also an important industrial base in Czechoslovakia, which has half of Czechoslovakia's industrial production, and if it is lost, Czechoslovakia has almost no power to resist.

As a result, they opened their arms and let Adolf ravage them, and since they could not resist, then simply enjoy, so 40 well-armed and well-trained Czech troops gave up resistance, merged into the German army, and a year later followed the iron hooves of the Nazis, swept through Central and Western Europe, trampling on the sacred territory of their ally, the French, who betrayed their allies.

The Europeans unfolded before Adolf's eyes, and in the history books, this era is a complete comic.

Britain and France betrayed Czechoslovakia, and after the Nazis declared war on Poland, they pinned their hopes on the Poles to create a miracle in the Battle of Warsaw like defeating Soviet Russia, so they sat quietly behind the Maginot Line and waited, thinking that when the Poles drained the blood of Germany, they came out to clean up the Nazis, but the Poles did not explode again, and were directly blown up by the Nazis.

Then the British pinned their hopes on France, like the Battle of the Marne in World War I, to keep the Nazi troops out of Paris and drag the war to a state of protracted war, and the British planned to wait for France to consume the German blood almost when they stood up to clean up the Germans, but this time the French did not explode, and were also directly destroyed by the Nazis.

Then there were the Americans who sat and watched the British, raising the banner of isolationism and watching the British drain the Nazi blood...

Well, in the end, the Americans succeeded, so evolved to American imperialism.

But in this era, the Chinese will also sit in the back with a small horse and watch the British and Americans drain the blood of the Nazis ...

Provided, of course, that the Americans will go to war.

In March 1939, the Nazis annexed Czechoslovakia, without firing a single shot, without firing a single shot, obtaining 40 well-armed Czech divisions, and at the same time acquiring the Skoda Arsenal, the first in Europe.

In the original history, at this time, Franco captured Figueres, the last stronghold in Catalonia controlled by the Spanish Republic, on February 8, and then Britain and France announced the recognition of Franco's government, and the Spanish government was in a desperate situation, and their commander of the central front staged a coup d'état, purged the Popular Front officials in the city of Madrid, and then let Franco's army enter Madrid.

But in this era, with Zhang Zuolin's arms constantly pouring into the hands of the Spanish People's Army, the Catalan campaign is not so bad, not to mention Figueres, even Barcelona is still in the hands of the Spanish government, the rebels can't threaten here, but the local separatists have a big conflict with the government.

In the original history, when the Nazis annexed Czechoslovakia, the Spanish Civil War had already been decided, and Britain and France had recognized the Franco government before, but in this era, the Spanish government was much stronger, so Britain and France neither recognized the Franco regime, nor broke off relations with the Spanish government.

So the situation has changed.

After the Nazis annexed Czechoslovakia, there were no enemies in Central Europe, and the next target was France, if not Poland, so the French were in a hurry.

Even Britain was very dissatisfied, and the Munich Agreement signed between Chamberlain and Adolf was not dry, and Adolf swore that the Sudetenland was his last territorial claim in Europe, but in a blink of an eye, he annexed Czechoslovakia, which directly slapped the British Empire in the face and made Chamberlain a laughing stock.

But the fear of war with Germany would once again push the whole of Europe into the war, and the men of England and France were also frightened by the war, and a whole generation was lost in the First World War, and the generation that grew up after the war really did not have the courage.

Therefore, they acquiesced in the Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia, with a power equal to that of Germany and Austria-Hungary before the First World War combined, which was not easily threatened by Britain and France.

But this did not mean that they would continue to indulge the Nazis, and after urgent consultations, Britain and France quietly abandoned the neutrality agreement, although they did not intervene in the Spanish Civil War and did not make any statements, but they unanimously lifted the blockade, the British navy withdrew to the country, and the French border guards opened the border.

After that, the Spanish government began to get a lot of resources, all of which were sent over by land from France, because it no longer made sense for Britain to lift the blockade, all the territories on the Atlantic side had been occupied by the rebels, and the coast on the Mediterranean side, which was the sphere of influence of the Italian navy, could work, in fact, it was the land border of France.

The effect is obvious, what used to be smuggling has turned into trucks pulling supplies to Spain. It's not aid, because the Spanish government has enough dollars in its hands, and a lot of dollars are pouring into France, and the French regret it at this time, knowing that this is the case, they have already started to do business, and how much money they have lost in vain, all in vain to cheapen those smugglers.

Renault's tanks, Schneider's machine guns, artillery, poured into Spain like a tidal wave.

The battle-tested soldiers of the Spanish People's Army, after obtaining these weapons and equipment, quickly launched a counterattack, won the Battle of Teruel, relieved the threat of the Franco regime to Madrid, and pushed the rebels back to Zaragoza on the Catalan front, but because the Catalan soldiers were anarchists and did not follow the orders at all, they failed to capture here, but stabilized the line from Madrid to Zaragoza, and successfully defended the core area of the Spanish Republic.

However, the Nazis also increased their investment in Spain, and a large number of personnel and equipment were sent to Franco, and both sides seemed to be accumulating strength to prepare for a war, which calmed down during the period before the war.

Mussolini, on the other hand, supported Franco, while constantly drilling high-yield oil wells in Libya, and on the other hand, he also argued with Jeanneau, the French manager of Yangzi Bank, delaying the delivery of the $100 million, and Jeanno had warned Mussolini to take the lawsuit to The Hague.

Yang Chao must get this money back, otherwise it will inevitably be played up by the conspirators in the future as he used the oil field to lure the fascists to Africa, although the probability is very low, but he can get a sum of money back, and he can prove to the outside world that this is just a business, why not.

Tell Jean-Not, don't be afraid of the Italians, you must get the money back, if you don't come back, he will roll up the bed and get out, and if he can get back, he will give Jean-Noti a three-percent share.

Three percent of $100 million is three million dollars, which made Nuo's eyes red and his quarrel with Mussolini louder.

What no one paid attention to was that a strange ship quietly sailed into the Pacific Ocean. (To be continued.) )
