Chapter 285: The Spring of the-Stirring Stick

Yang Feng's goal is very simple, that is, to sow discord between Europe and the United States as much as possible, create contradictions between them, and at the same time strengthen the armament of Europe, so that they are qualified to say no to the United States.

And a very good opportunity will soon be in front of him, that is, the Suez Canal War, the last brick and stone of the collapse of the old world, when Britain and France, which have already achieved victory, have to leave the land where they have ruled for more than 100 years under the diplomatic threat of the United States and the military suppression of the Soviets, the former world masters have completely fallen from the stage of hegemony.

And what Yang Feng needs to do is to keep them going.

Whether they win or lose, let them persevere, even if they still fail, let them fail vigorously, only in this way can they maximize their anger against the Mi people, especially someone like Gaul who is not honest in the first place, and what he needs to do is also very simple......

"Friends, are you interested in going to North Africa to look for oil together?"

Yang Feng held his wine glass and said to the two managers in Daming who had been invited, as well as the manager of the Gallic company Aquitain, a Gallic state-owned oil conglomerate, which later became Total.

"How did Your Excellency the Führer remember that North Africa is coming?"

Richard, BP's manager in Daming, said with a smile.

"Is there oil there now?"

Yang Feng asked curiously.

"An oil field was discovered in Algeria not long ago, but it's not very big, and because of its remote location and some other constraints, it's not really developed."

Pierre, Aquita's manager, said.

As for what those other things are, it goes without saying. Algerians have never stopped fighting for freedom.

"First of all. According to my geologist analysis. There is definitely oil in North Africa, and there must be big oil fields, really big oil fields, the kind that produce tens of millions of tons a year, and the level of my geologists is sure that everyone knows that they predict that there will be oil in Assam, and as a result, I found oil fields in Assam, and they predict that there will be oil in the West Java Sea. As a result, I found oil fields there as well, and this time, they gave me a few more predictions in North Africa, and I believe they would not be wrong.

Although it is far away from me, I still want to seize such an opportunity, and you know that I urgently need oil now, but I am not the only one who urgently needs oil, so I have to find an oil field on the doorstep of the European people, lest the European people come to Asia to grab oil from me. What I want most is for all the oil east of the Suez Canal to come to me. ”

Yang Feng said in a joking tone.

"So what do you think?"

Richard asked tentatively.

"It's simple, the four of us work together. Each company has a 25 percent stake, and then they will form an oil company, and go to Libya, Algeria, and Egypt in North Africa to find oil, and then supply all of them to Europe, so that they can save Asia from going to China. ”

Yang Feng said.

"That's a good idea."

Huck, the manager of the scallops, said.

They are also not willing to go to the trouble of transporting crude oil to Europe, but they have no choice, in order to meet the demand of Europe, they must travel thousands of miles to transport crude oil, if they can find enough large oil fields in North Africa to supply Europe's needs, so that Asian crude oil can be sold to Yang Feng nearby. Anyway, the price of this thing is the same, and selling it to Yang Feng and selling it to Europe is the same for them to make money, especially for scallops, transporting North Borneo's oil to Suncheon, a few hundred kilometers away, and to London, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away, and it is obvious that they prefer to do the former.

"Guys, give it a try, why not give it a try? Anyway, the four of us invested together, and it didn't cost much money at all, and even if we couldn't find it, we wouldn't lose a few, but if we found it, it would be a big luck. ”

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, it's not a big deal to give it a try.

What's more, Yang Feng has made remarkable achievements in finding oil over the years, whether he is the largest shareholder of Far East Oil, or the Imperial Oil that he alone controls, he has become one of the major oil suppliers in Southeast Asia in just a few years, and the current annual output of the two companies has even exceeded 20 million tons.

Of course, the purpose of his cooperation is also obvious, it is the backyard of Europe, the territory of Britain and Gaul, he wants to go to find oil can not leave the two countries, the same oil can not be found without the protection of the two countries, he can not be recovered, and without his geologist analysis results, it is difficult for Britain and France to find oil in the short term, so the cooperation between the two sides is the best choice.

"Your Excellency, this proposal is indeed worthy of our in-depth study."

Richard and the other two looked at each other and laughed.

That's fine, go with them to Libya, Algeria, Egypt, in the next five years, all three countries will become important oil producers, not only can greatly lower oil prices to promote the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, but also can intensify the competition between Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union in North Africa, and then to the Suez Canal War to have a general outbreak, as for who will die depends on their ability, anyway, Yang Fuhrer is just a small investment.

Among the three countries, Libya's first major oil field was drilled by New Jersey standards in 59 years, and by 61 years it had become one of the world's major oil exporters. At this time, Libya was so poor that it made people cry, and the only thing that could be exported was the thin-stemmed needle grass used to make banknote printing paper, and the wreckage of tanks and military vehicles that were damaged on their land during the war. Even the Libyan king Idris I had more than five dollars in his pocket for pocket money, and he didn't want to do it for a while, and at this time it was worth him to go to him to find oil.

As for Algeria, the history of oil is very long, but the really valuable oil fields were discovered in four or nine years, and the most important one in the Hasimel Saoud oil field was discovered in five or six years, but the real most important thing in this country is not oil, but natural gas, and the Hasimaremai gas field is an important source of natural gas supply in Europe.

Natural gas is the next important development direction of Yang Feng, first of all, whether it is Bennei Darussali or Sumatra, both are important natural gas producing areas in the world, he has this thing, although Brunei is scalloped, but Sumatra's is his. Chevron's oil lease expires this year, which means that all other plots of land must be re-tendered by the Java government except for their previous exploration, and as for the bidding results, needless to say, it must be Imperial Oil, and Sumatra's natural gas is mainly in North Sumatra.

Then he can go on development.

Another important thing is that he can build LNG ships, the shipbuilding industry is the pillar of the future of the Ming Dynasty, LNG ships are also the pillars of the pillars, in addition to of course, large oil tankers, container ships and the like.

In this way, in a short time, he could turn Algeria into the energy center of Europe again, and as for how the Gauls would deal with their relations with this country, that Yang Feng had no interest in it, as long as it became a powder keg of competing interests.

As for Egypt, there is no need for a special greeting from this country, just one Suez Canal is enough for a war, and it is better to keep it for backup.

Just when Yang Feng kept digging a hole for the future of the Chinese people, MacArthur finally calmed down the Bao movement in Sapporo.

In fact, he didn't do much, that is, he reorganized the 1st Marine Division, which had just withdrawn to the Wa Kingdom, a little reorganized, temporarily organized into a combat regiment, and then transported to Tomakomaki to land, and at the same time sent bombers to drop bombs on Sapporo. The rebel army, which had originally controlled Sapporo and formed a free Japanese government, immediately withdrew from the city and fled into the mountains, but before leaving, they had already expanded their ranks to nearly 1,000 people, and because of some measures to fight local tyrants, they were very popular with those poor people.

In short, when the 1st Marine Division was violently killed to Chitose, their enemies had all disappeared, leaving only the corpses of the American troops in the Chitose base who were about to stink after being exposed for many days, especially those female soldiers, and the young men of the 1st Marine Division were almost indignant. They then went to Sapporo to launch a bloody manhunt, and all those who had been close to the rebel army before, and whose family members had joined the rebel army, were all pulled out to shoot targets, and those who should be thrown into prison were thrown into prison, in short, it was a lot of toss in the city.

It also made the city's hatred for them deeper, but the next battle had nothing to do with them.

MacArthur also knew that he didn't have the strength to entangle with these guerrillas, at this time the Eighth Army was still in Pyongyang, and the Taedong River was fighting fiercely with the volunteers, and the volunteers on the eastern front had also begun to move south. With the tacit approval of the U.S. government, the U.S. government set up a special police force, recruited veterans from a brigade, and then sent them directly to Sapporo to replace the 1st Marine Division, which was responsible for dealing with the guerrillas.

This move immediately aroused protests from the Soviet government, believing that the US military was rearming the Japanese state, of course, their protests Truman was too lazy to take care of it, and the account for stealing our four fighter planes has not yet been settled with you!

In order to cope with the increasingly tense situation on the Goryeo battlefield, Truman immediately announced that he would once again increase his troops on the Goryeo battlefield, transferring the 40th and 45th infantry divisions that had remained in the country to Korea, and at the same time declaring a state of emergency throughout the country. The US military has increased its total strength from 2.5 million to 3.5 million, expanded military production, and increased its aircraft production capacity by five times and its tank production capacity by four times.
