On March 18 this year, Mexican President Cárdenas announced that "the day of Mexico's economic independence has begun, and without economic independence, political independence is a lie", announcing the resumption of Petroleos Mexicanos assets owned by 17 foreign oil companies, including oil giants such as Royal Shell, Mobil of New Jersey, and Standard Oil of California, and that the Mexican government will pay off their assets in Mexico within ten years.

In the eyes of the Mexicans, Cárdenas' demands had a legal basis, and in 1917 they introduced a 17-year constitution in which all mineral resources belonged to the country, but in the eyes of Britain and the United States, this was completely cunning, they obtained Mexico's mineral exploitation rights through legal means, why should they return it to Mexico, they paid taxes according to the treaty.

Therefore, Britain and the United States resolutely resisted, even if the Cárdenas government was willing to spend money to redeem it, Britain and the United States did not agree, those assets can be worth a few dollars, Mexico's big oil fields are a chicken that lays golden eggs, and as a result, a large-scale Shiwei activity broke out in Mexico, and Cárdenas forcibly recovered these assets.

Mexicans are also competitive, and there is a rare outbreak of strong patriotic sentiment, and ordinary people have donated money, even wedding rings to the state so that they can redeem assets.

However, Britain and the United States simply did not agree, and jointly imposed an economic embargo on Mexico, filed huge claims, stopped the supply of refining raw materials and equipment, and refused to purchase Mexican oil. Evacuate their specialists and tankers so that the Mexicans can't get a barrel of oil out. Rockefeller and other oil giants also cultivated fascist forces in Mexico, hiring thugs to burn oil wells, sabotage railroads, and blow up oil trucks; Instigated and plotted revolution, intimidated and threatened diplomatically, and actively lobbied President Roosevelt to send troops to invade Mexico.

Cárdenas, the nationalist president, is not covered, and he has been in power for 34 years, and he has not dared to recover the assets of imperialism until now.

After Mexico came to power, it actively reshuffled its cabinet, absorbed a large number of nationalist political forces, reformed the army, reorganized the ruling party, changed its name to the Mexican Revolutionary Party, incorporated the workers' federation representing the workers and the peasants' federation into the revolutionary party, and established a relatively strong ruling party, which was indeed very vigorous, and he continued to be in power until the 70s in history.

After these political operations, to ensure that the government would not be overthrown by the opposition supported by the Americans, Cárdenas dared to reclaim Anglo-American capital.

Of course, this goods are also very good at picking the time, the most worried neighboring United States is experiencing a second round of economic crisis, social instability, European fascism and GCISM are in the ascendant, the Spanish Civil War is fierce, Britain and France are in a hurry, he is sure that as long as the United States does not intervene, Britain will not interfere, so after feeling that his army is controlled, he took bold action.

As for the assets promised to pay compensation to Britain and the United States, Cárdenas was not worried about it, there was so much oil to be afraid of, they are the world's second largest oil producer, producing nearly 200 million barrels of oil a year, and it is more than enough to repay half of it, but they underestimate the dominance of Britain and the United States over the world.

When they took these oil assets, not only did oil production drop sharply, but they could only produce less than 50 million barrels of the large oil fields that could produce 193 million barrels in the hands of Britain and the United States, and they could not sell them at all.

In the past, their crude oil was extracted by British and American oil giants, and transported out by railways, oil pipelines and oil tankers built by the Americans, but now these are gone, and the Mexican national government is directly blind, so the whole world is looking for buyers, and Europe does not have to go, even if someone is willing to buy it, the British warships will also make them unable to deliver the goods.

Looking at it, there is only one Asia to sell, especially China, which is also a country that sells and sells warships, and has helped them transport arms to Spain before, just using the previous relationship with Chinese transportation companies to negotiate with Chinese oil consuming companies.

China's oil consuming companies have a refining base in Guangdong, and the rest is a refining base in Shandong, and as a result, they have a nose in Guangdong, because the refineries in Guangdong are all built in cooperation with the British, and the British own half of the equity in them, and they have a great influence on the local government, and these refineries are using Middle Eastern oil.

Shandong's oil refining industry is monopolized by chemical companies, and Britain and the United States used their political power at the same time to send a note to the Chinese government, saying that Mexican oil is the capital of Britain and the United States, and that Mexicans only produce a few percent of their oil, and that if China buys Mexican oil, it is helping Mexicans steal British and American assets.

Wang Qiu is busy with politics, there is no time to cause this kind of trouble, and the price of oil in the United States is also very cheap, the FOB price is 1 US dollar, and the CIF price is only 2 US dollars, Wuqiu Chemical Company is almost the most profitable company in the world, only penicillin and other companies can compare profits with them, so Wang Qiu can't afford to offend the Americans for the cheap oil promised by the Mexicans, not to mention anything else, just from the fact that the profits of the chemical fiber factory he and Rockefeller cooperated in the United States are about to catch up with China. He can't get along with the American oil giants.

After turning around, the Mexicans found that they could not sell oil in China, and then went to Japan and North Korea, which are big fuel importers, but here he found that these two countries did not have their own oil importers, because their oil import and export business was monopolized by Yangzi Oil Company.

Then the only way to find Yangzi Petroleum Company is to Yangzi Petroleum Company, which belongs to the Yangzi Consortium and its president is Li Sidi, but Li Sidi has not seen the representative of the newly established Petroleos Mexican Company at all.

In Li Sidi's view, he is not guilty of offending Britain and the United States for the sake of a Mexico, he is not only in charge of an oil company, but the entire Yang Zi consortium, he knows that the Yang Zi consortium has obtained benefits from cooperation with Britain and the United States, far more than the benefits that may be brought by cooperation with Mexico, and the Yang Zi consortium's iron ore production in Australia and banking business in the United States are all more valuable than the oil that Mexico may export.

If they offend the British, they can not only use their hands and feet on the Australian iron mines, but also play in the South Seas, which will definitely make the Yang Zi consortium suffer heavy losses. Not to mention the Americans, Yang Chao's shares in Boeing, General Motors, General Electric, and DuPont are all assets protected by the US government, and if he seizes them under the pretext of doing so, it will be a big problem.

Diego, the plenipotentiary of Petroleos Mexicanos, is completely discouraged and plans to try his luck in South America next, maybe the Brazilians will dare to buy their own oil? Although he also knew that this hope was very slim, Brazil has never been a country that has the courage to say no to Britain and the United States, and Vargas has feigned to be tough, but now he does not dare to do anything to British and American assets like Brazil.

At the most desperate moment, he suddenly received news that Yang Chao, the owner of the Yang Zi Consortium, wanted to talk to him about oil trading.

Diego didn't say a word, he directly asked people to refund the ticket, and he got on the train himself and rushed to Hainan.

When he saw Yang Chao, Diego couldn't help but be a little nervous, not the various legends of Yang Chao, to be honest, he didn't have a good impression of this kind of big capitalist who was in the world, Yang Chao happened to be the most popular kind of international financial giant, and they always classified Yang Chao as the kind of person they hated the most.

But to say it, there is no conflict between the two sides, it is completely emotional, but this kind of affection makes Diego, who was born in the trade union, really a little frightened, as if he has done something sorry for Yang Chao.

Of course, he was born in a trade union, and his previous understanding of Yang Chao was limited to being an international capitalist, and he didn't know much about it, after all, Yang Chao's economic network had not yet been scattered in a poor place like Mexico.

But after going around in Asia, he had a more intuitive understanding of Yang Chao's strength, and he couldn't help but panic, this person's strength is too strong, no wonder he can confront the world's most powerful workers' state, Soviet Russia, with the power of one person, but he didn't expect that the oil supply of the entire East Asia is now basically monopolized by him.

So after meeting Yang Chao, he had never done oil business, let alone Diego, who was in the oil business in the international market, didn't know how to negotiate for a while.

Yang Chao didn't mention business, but vigorously introduced all kinds of tea to Diego, all of which were produced in his tea garden and could not be drunk by the outside world.

Diego doesn't know tea, and he often drinks coffee, but he can only praise it against his will.

"How much oil can Mexico produce?"

I was struggling and didn't know how to start, when I suddenly heard the voice of this life.

"At least 100 million barrels."

Diego said worriedly, because this output may be difficult to guarantee, without American technicians, without the support of American equipment, Mexico really can't guarantee oil production.

"Only 100 million?"

Yang Chao sighed slightly.

Diego immediately said, "It's quite a lot. As far as I know, there are not many countries that can produce 100 million barrels of oil, 500 million barrels in Soviet Russia, 400 million barrels in Iran, 200 million barrels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 100 million barrels in Iraq, and apart from these countries, only the United States has more than our country. ”

Yang Chao didn't argue with him and asked directly, "How much can you sell?" ”

Diego immediately said: "If we can produce 100 million barrels, we can sell at least 80 million barrels." ”

Yang Chao was puzzled: "What if?" Can't you guarantee oil production? ”

Diego was embarrassed: "The damn Americans didn't supply us with equipment and withdrew technical experts, which caused many of our wells to run out of equipment and spare parts and had to stop production. ”

Yang Chao nodded: "It's not a problem, what equipment the United States can produce, we can produce." A complete set of equipment for oil casing, drill bits, oil pipelines, and power equipment can be produced. (To be continued.) )
