The oil tanker plan has long been determined, and after the resumption of diplomatic relations with the United States, Yang Chao immediately asked the Shandong Fujian Hall Shipyard to develop it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shandong's shipyards in Yantai and Qingdao have been pocketed by Fujianese, who have become China's largest shipbuilding group. Their annual shipbuilding capacity reaches 5 million tons.

They are followed by Mitsubishi's shipyard in Yantai, Kawasaki's shipyard in Shanghai, and Guangdong's shipyard, but Kawasaki, the largest of the three shipbuilding groups, is no more than 2 million tons a year.

As for the Jiangnan shipyard run by the Ningbo Gang in Shanghai, the shipyard in Taiwan, and the shipyard in Dalian, they are all very small, less than one million tons, not to mention not to mention.

The design capabilities of the Hokkien Huay Kuan Shipyard are not as unrivaled as their shipbuilding capabilities, and the Japanese have a unique experience in terms of design capabilities.

In terms of shipbuilding, Yang Chao asked that they be responsible for the design, in fact, there is no big problem, 50,000 tons of ships, before the First World War, the Titanic had 47,000 tons, more than 20 years have passed, 50,000 tons is no longer the most advanced ship.

The shipbuilding is handed over to the shipyard, and the problem of the Ryukyus is a large oil base, and it is necessary to build an oil base in the Ryukyus, which can be re-exported to Japan, North Korea and the Philippines, and if necessary, Yang Chao can also put the oil refining base here.

The core of this oil base is a huge oil storage depot, the largest scale can reach 10 million tons, the oil depot is not the core technology, the crude oil terminal is, Yang Chao wants to build a floating oil pipeline wharf, 50,000 tons of giant ships do not need to enter the port, directly in the deep water area to load and unload oil, through the oil pipeline pumping, even in the future 100,000 tons, 200,000 tons of oil tankers, the same can be loaded and unloaded.

Well, such a tall and complete set of technology is obviously not something that Yang Chao's liberal arts dog head can come up with.

But who called him a trader in later generations, and for those who do trade, he can't get a piece of the international crude oil industry and dare to say that he is a successful trader?

Yang Chao's share of the oil trade is small, but he can often go in and out of oil depots, and he has visited the crude oil terminals in the Persian Gulf, where the kind of ships stay in deep water, and the stout oil pipelines that are hundreds of meters long are sent to pleasure boats through floating platforms.

So he put forward this idea, immediately surprised the technicians, surprised that the idea is not technology, the technology has been completely passed, whether it is a crude oil pump, or the pipeline has no technical barrier, it is nothing more than worse than the later generations, it is definitely no problem to use, and it will be slowly optimized later.

Of course, such a crude oil base is not only built in the Ryukyus, in fact, Yang Chao intends to build three oil bases in China, there is one in Dongying, Shandong, which is the largest oil refining center in the north and the country, Wang Qiu is the undisputed king of China's oil refining industry, of course, there must be one in Guangdong, the oil tanker design does not allow Guangdong shipyards to participate, that is because Guangdong shipyards are cooperating with the British, Yang Chao built oil tankers for Britain to control the Chinese oil market, let them participate, is tantamount to inviting wolves to participate in the banquet in Mianyang.

But the oil base is inseparable from the British, because the largest and best ports in Guangdong are all developed in cooperation with the British, and Guangdong has already built its own oil base, and Yang Chao does not plan to start from scratch, so he is responsible for the construction of the British to store the oil they sent from the Middle East.

If the British do not cooperate, then there will be the Guangdong government to come forward, Yang Chao's purpose is very simple, after the appearance of his own super tanker, the price of oil transportation will be greatly reduced, the British do you let Shell transport it yourself, or entrust it to Yang Chao? Luck it yourself, then it's good to reduce the price, if you don't reduce the price, let Yang Chao make this money.

Of course, if the British are forced to start producing large oil tankers, then Yang Chao can also cooperate with them, and everyone will form an international oil transportation company to pull Britain down the chain of oil interests, and in the future, they will not have the ability to protect such interests, how will they choose, will China come forward to help them protect their interests? Then China can raise the banner of defending world oil security under the acquiescence of Britain, in other words, world oil hegemony, oil hegemony, world hegemony.

In short, Yang Chao's goal has never been to bring China to the top of the international order, to become the nation at the top of the food chain of the world's nations.

However, oil-related problems are inseparable from Rockefeller, and Yang Chao plans to visit the United States, implement cooperation with the Rockefeller consortium, and promote Rockefeller to build the same counterpart base in the United States as soon as possible, otherwise his cruise ship will arrive in the United States, but its hairstyle will not be able to enter the port and cannot be loaded with oil, which will be a joke.

I made a 'report' to Mi Qing, and the itinerary of the visit was set, and I communicated with the Americans there, and proposed to visit the United States as soon as possible, and the visit of national leaders, although it is not as frequent as in later generations, it is also very important, it often takes half a year, a year, and some countries even take longer to make an appointment, after all, everyone is very busy.

However, the Americans not only did not shirk Yang Chao's request for a temporary visit, but quickly arranged it, Roosevelt was busy, and there was still time to meet Yang Chao, and since the two countries resumed relations, there had been no official leader's visit, and the most recent time was Pan Xun's visit to the United States that year, but it was soon excluded from the United States, and the two sides severed diplomatic relations.

Therefore, as the first visit by a political leader of the other side after the resumption of diplomacy between the two countries, the Americans still attach great importance to it.

gave the highest specification, that is, the treatment of European kings, what treatment the Queen of England went to the United States, and what treatment Yang Chao went to the United States.

What 24 salutes, warships, fighter planes escorted, Yang Chao's airship turned in Hawaii, American warships greeted in the port, and it was also an aircraft carrier, after Yang Chao's airship set off again, the fighters on the American aircraft carrier took off to escort it.

"The Americans still refuse to suffer the slightest loss."

Yang Chao used the excuse that it was too difficult for the airship to fly directly to the United States, and for safety reasons, he wanted to transfer in Hawaii, but the Americans said "warmly" that they would meet them in Hawaii.

The reason is very simple, Hawaii is currently Australia's trusteeship, and it does not have a border with China and the United States, but only on the surface, the United States has not been tired of Australia over the years, and American businessmen have made massive investments here, built civilian ports, and so on.

Yang Chao's excuse to stop in Hawaii this time has a strong political meaning, and the Americans are-for-tat, and even the aircraft carrier has driven over, first, to respond to the North Korean aircraft carrier problem, and second, to show the outside world that Hawaii is closer to the United States, and the American aircraft carrier can fly here, and the Chinese want to come, so they don't know how much effort it will take.

As for the necessity, there is no need for Yang Chao to stop here, and there is no need for the Americans to drive the aircraft carrier over, you must know that their naval aircraft escort can't even protect the US mainland, Hawaii is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the United States, and the range of their naval aircraft is only more than 1,200 kilometers, and the combat radius is at most 600 kilometers.

However, the Americans have arranged thousands of airships on the west coast, and these airships will fly flags, and the surface of each airship is painted with the national flags of China and the United States, the Stars and Stripes, and the Chinese Golden Dragon Flag.

Another demonstration, the Americans want to prove that they have great air power, and they are all set up on the west coast, to tell China "don't mess with me, I can't mess with me."

Crossing the United States, directly to Washington, not far from the East Coast, the official delegation led by Yang Chao of course met with Roosevelt, Roosevelt was not naïve, China has a prime minister, he should send his secretary of state to receive him equally, completely put on a posture of dealing with Western monarchs, and give enough face.

On behalf of the Yang Zi Group, Li Sidi held talks with representatives of Rockefeller in New York, focusing on Rockefeller's construction of a crude oil terminal on the west coast of the United States, which is the most important thing, and the projects on the Chinese side have already started, and Dongying has already started construction, reconstruction, and expansion of the original oil depot, and has begun to design a floating wharf.

Rockefeller was also very active, got the design drawings brought by Li Sidi, and said very happily that he would build facilities of the same specifications in the United States according to Chinese standards, which would definitely allow Chinese crude oil tankers to take oil from the United States smoothly. Although it doesn't matter that Rockefeller asks for royalties, the standard output behind it will always receive benefits.

The new Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Zhou Xuexi, and the negotiations with US commercial representatives are of particular concern. The two men are still in official negotiations, so they are also based in Washington, D.C., where China intends to fully cooperate with the United States on the Yunnan-Guichuan-Daxian hydropower project in the planning stage.

It involves investment, construction and other issues, the Americans' willingness to invest is not high, because the crisis has made them seriously lack funds, and the Great Southwest Hydropower Project, the investment is huge, involving hundreds of super power stations, all of which are super projects like the Great Coulee and Hoover Dam in the United States, and because of the road conditions in China's Great Southwest, it is more difficult than the United States, and the construction of attached roads is likely to make the cost of each dam reach 100 million US dollars, which makes the US government feel powerless, so it is not enthusiastic.

The two sides are also very willing to cooperate, the United States has expressed its willingness to help China develop hydropower, but in the way of "help", there are differences, China hopes to take itself as the mainstay, introduce some American technology, hire some experienced engineers from the United States, but the Americans hope to be able to be contracted by the United States, they think that this unified management, more efficient.

More efficient? More benefits are more or less the same. So the negotiations were very intense.

However, Yang Chao was very leisurely and comfortable with Roosevelt, and brought his personal doctor Tang Chengzhi.

This person was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Hunan, and he is very enthusiastic about ancient medical books, searching for tens of thousands of ancient medical books, and most importantly, he is proficient in acupuncture. (To be continued.) )
