In mid-October 2013, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Council held a regular press conference. Since September 1, 2011, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Yan and Huang has increased its regular press conferences from two to five times a week, the same frequency as in the Republic of Stars and Stripes, so that the exchanges between the Yan and Huang government and domestic and foreign media are much closer and smoother. Of course, if there is something big that causes disputes between countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also a "protest" and a "serious protest".

At the press conference, four Philippine naval vessels had just been accidentally damaged and sunk by the South China Sea Navy warship yesterday. Therefore, this regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gathered more domestic and foreign reporters than before, and hundreds of high-resolution cameras were aimed at the wooden press conference in the center in a semi-oval shape. About a quarter of an hour later, Ma Zhaoxu, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and director of the Information Department, calmly walked out of the preparation room and stood on the press platform.

"Today, I authorize the release that due to the accidental attack in the South China Sea, a total of 1 Philippine frigate and 3 patrol boats were sunk, and all the soldiers and officers on the 4 ships were killed. Japan deeply regrets this accident. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, China has always pursued the diplomatic policy of 'good-neighborliness, friendship and common development', but this time, the Philippine warships intruded into China's territorial waters without reason, violated China's sovereignty, sank and damaged many Chinese fishing boats, and continued to shell China's South China Sea Fleet patrol ships that came to inspect the situation, which was the most fundamental cause of a series of subsequent accidents and tragedies. We believe that the Philippines should take this as a warning to avoid the recurrence of such incidents in the future. Ma Zhaoxu, director of the Information Department, said that his voice was paused, and then his tone turned up, gradually accentuating his tone:

"Of course, China will also deeply learn the painful lessons of computer errors, automatic missile launches, and the sinking of several Philippine ships due to the excessive aging of warships and the serious aging of equipment. In order to fundamentally prevent similar accidents from happening again in the future, China has decided to speed up the work of upgrading and replacing the aging warships of the Navy in the next five years, and plans to preliminarily formulate a plan for the replacement of no less than 40 new-type missile frigates, 20 new-type missile destroyers, and 120 large-tonnage patrol boats. It is also planned to equip half of these ships with the South China Sea Fleet in order to eliminate the major potential hidden dangers caused by the aging of warships there."

Five minutes later, Ma Zhaoxu, director of the Information Department, finished his speech and entered the time for questions from reporters from various countries in the audience.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from AFP, may I ask if there are any influencing factors due to the entry of two aircraft carrier formations of the Stars and Stripes Republic into the waters around the South China Sea when your country launched the large-scale warship chayexschayexs replacement plan? Does it mean the resumption of the arms race in Asia? Does it cause unease in other countries around your country? A beautiful reporter in France was the first to raise her hand and ask.

"As I have just made clear, the cause of the replacement of our navy's warships is due to the old age of the warships, which has caused serious accidental accidental hits and heavy casualties. It is precisely in order to better ensure the safety of the ships of the neighboring countries and the safety of the personnel on board the ships that China has decided to renew the old ships of the Navy in a short period of time and on a large scale. This has no causal relationship with the arrival of the Stars and Stripes aircraft carrier fleet. Ma Zhaoxu refuted with righteous words.

"Hello, I am a reporter from the Russian newspaper Pravda, do the two countries plan to hold consultations and discussions in the near future on the matter of the Philippine ship being accidentally damaged and sunk? Will your country make a formal apology and pay appropriate compensation? ”

"First of all, I would like to state that the place where the Philippine ship sank was in China's territorial waters, and there is no objection to this point according to the latitude and longitude measured by the satellite positioning coordinates. Moreover, when these four Philippine ships entered China's territorial waters, they did not go through any form of diplomatic note beforehand, which was an illegal invasion, and the Philippine side also opened fire on its own and shelled Chinese fishing boats and warships. Therefore, with regard to the sinking of a foreign ship that invaded China's territorial waters, this fait accompli and the final result, we believe that there is no unreasonable issue that requires an apology and compensation. Protecting the rights and interests of territorial waters is the basic right and duty of every sovereign and independent state, and we only regret the sinking act that was 'not our intention', and there is no need to doubt or discuss the Navy's act of destroying an invading enemy from outside. Therefore, there is no question of the so-called negotiation and compensation, okay, the next one! ”

"Hello, I am"

At the same time, Jinhai City, on a certain main road for motor vehicles in the outer ring road.

Hao Peng was driving while listening to the live report of the Foreign Ministry press conference on the radio through the car wireless radio.

"Dididi!" (Sound of low fuel tank in car)

"Huh?" Seeing that the fuel tank watch hand had entered the "red" area, Hao Peng did not hesitate, immediately turned on the yellow right turn light, and then lightly stepped on the brake, stepped on the clutch, slowed down and shifted, turned right into a small road, and drove towards the Sinopec gas station not far from his memory.

Three minutes later, a red and white PetroChina gas station caught Hao Peng's eye, but he was also deeply dissatisfied: the cars ready to refuel had formed a long line, and a cursory visual inspection showed that there were more than 30 cars.

“**!” Hao Peng, who hated queuing the most, scolded, and then reluctantly merged the car into the speed lane and lined up behind the last private car waiting for refueling.

Three minutes later, the convoy had only moved a dozen meters forward.

Eight minutes later, the convoy was still standing still.

Fifteen minutes later, the convoy was still unchanged.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?!" Hao Peng, who stayed in the cab and was really uncomfortable, turned the key to extinguish the engine, then pulled out and pushed the car door, glanced back at the long queue of cars that had increased in number, shook his head, closed the door hard, and walked towards the gas station in front of him.

At the entrance of the gas station, there were several private car owners, chatting there.

"Big brother, please ask, what's wrong with the gas station? Why can't the traffic move? Seeing a few people chatting happily, Hao Peng politely interjected.

"What else can I do, there's no gas at the gas station!"

"Huh!?" When Hao Peng heard it, he was stunned at first. Although I often hear rolling reports on TV and radio this week, because Yanhuang has been blocked in recent times, crude oil imports have been blocked, and domestic oil derivatives such as gasoline have begun to be in short supply, and there have been "oil shortages" in many places. But when I think of my life, after all, it is still a large and medium-sized city. So in Hao Peng's eyes, no matter how "oil shortage" is, it has nothing to do with him.

"Out of gas? How is that possible? ”

"Brother, nothing is impossible! Now the rumor of the 'oil shortage' is not a day or two. I have a brother who works in the oil system of a state-owned enterprise, and he said that the government is now discussing with their companies whether to temporarily allow each gas station to only fill half a tank of fuel at a time, so as to save the total amount of oil used in the city and survive this 'oil shortage'. ”

"What a joke! Half a tank of oil? That's enough! ”

"If it's purely for family use, it's okay, and it's less open twice on weekends. Those who go to work can also make a living, but the pure running business is miserable, and no car is equivalent to no legs. ”

"I also heard from the traffic police force that the government should give priority to special vehicles such as buses, police, fire and sanitation, as well as transportation trucks, and the rest are behind."

"I can understand buses and special vehicles, why are trucks?"

"Ahem, you have forgotten that all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and grain crops that are transported to Jinhai City every day are not all transported from other places and villages by truck. There are also daily necessities and meat supplies in various supermarkets. ”

"That's not much, is it?"

"You don't come out at night, after the early morning, after the ban on the city's roads is lifted, a large number of trucks shuttle back and forth around the city, transporting sand and gravel, garbage, and food."

"Anyway, it's not a problem to be old and have no oil."

"There's no way, the stars and stripes provoked it, didn't the Philippines just want to jump out this time and show his merit in front of the master, but as a result, he was beaten down by our country with a stick~~"

"I deserve it, Little Philippines dares to come out and shout, this time I'm dumbfounded!"

"If you want me to say, you should 'system' it well."

"The problem of 'making it' is not the main thing, what should we do with oil imports in the future, it seems that because of the new type of battery, the Middle East countries and we have begun to deal with each other a little bit, centrifugal and detached."

"If I was in a hurry, I went to modify the new battery. If it weren't for the fact that I had just bought the car a few days ago, I was really reluctant to have the car operated on now, and I would have gone a long time ago. ”

"Then I suggest that you have to arrange 'one' in advance, now that the repair shop is old, it is at least 3 weeks in advance to make a reservation, so that there may be a vacancy."

Jinhai City, Xingshang Diamond Mountain Community, Wang Fan Villa.

"I can't imagine that the Star-Spangled guy is ruthless enough, come to this trick!" Wang Fan, who had just finished dating Mu Yunting for a few days, returned to his home in Jinhai City.

"It should be said that it is the bottom of the kettle." Yadi commented.

"Yadea, how many tons of oil are imported in Yanhuang a year?"

"Wait a minute, I'll check." After a pause for a few seconds, Yadi replied: "I estimate that it is about 300 million tons, because there is no official data in your home country on this side, and the real data is not very transparent." I estimate that the total consumption in 2013 should be 550 million tons, based on 490 million tons in 2011. More than half, about 60 per cent, need to be imported. ”

"So much?"

"It is indeed a lot, the Yanhuang Republic has now become the second largest oil importer and consumer in the world after the Stars and Stripes Republic, in 2011 alone, your motherland imported 254 million tons of oil that year, counting domestic oil production, the domestic cumulative processing of crude oil that year was 448 million tons, including the production of gasoline 81.41 million tons, the production of diesel 167 million tons. These are not counting the 40.6 million tons of refined oil imported in 2011. ”

"It's a little scary, you can help me check the production of major oil fields again, I have an idea, it's troublesome."

"You're welcome, it's easy. Let me pick the main one: Daqing Oilfield, not to say, the most important cornerstone of the Yanhuang oil system, the peak in 1976 annual output of more than 50 million tons, now with secondary oil recovery, tertiary oil recovery technology, can still maintain about 40 million tons; The rest like Liaohe Oilfield, Karamay Oilfield, North China Oilfield, Dagang Oilfield, Jilin Oilfield, etc., the production capacity hovers around several million tons, but most of these are old oilfields, the remaining reserves are not optimistic, and oil production is gradually declining, especially in North China Oilfield and Dagang Oilfield, and the final outcome is likely to be like Yumen Oilfield. ”

"Yumen Oilfield? What's wrong with it? ”

"Yumen Oilfield, which was put into development in 1939, produced 1,402,900 tons of crude oil in 1959, accounting for 50.9% of the country's crude oil production that year. It can be said that it has a very glorious history, it is the first oil field of your motherland, the first oil well of Yanhuang, the first petrochemical base, etc., and the trained oilmen have built Daqing, Shengli and Karamay oil fields. Unfortunately, because of the depletion of oil resources, streets, shops, and markets are now in ruins. Those retired oil workers, from living in nests and broken sheds to living in red brick bungalows, watched new buildings built around them in the 90s, and watched the city be broken down into pieces of bricks and cement slabs around 2005 and sold, which is somewhat bleak. ”

"Yade, let's call!"

"Huh?"

"All of a sudden, I really want to sell some new 'goods'!"
