Chapter 411: Disaster Relief

Yang Yuting smiled unhurriedly at the Japanese reporter and said: "First, we have taken out the core with oil immersion, oil spots and oil sands on the drill bit, which shows that our position is right, as long as we continue to drill, then there will be no doubt about the oil!" ”

"Second, we can't say where the location is. This is related to the safety and trade secrets of the oilfield, and I have no right and cannot disclose it to you. The smile on Yang Yuting's face was still so official, and he directly ignored the Japanese reporter's eyes that were almost bursting with fire.

"Third, just because the Japanese can't do it doesn't mean that everyone can't do it." Yang Yuting smiled at the reporter and said: "What you can't do doesn't mean I can't do it!" ”

The Japanese reporter was about to get angry when he heard Yang Yuting's words, but saw Yang Yuting continue to laugh.

"As for how we discovered oil...... Hearing that Yang Yuting seemed to be about to say how oil was discovered, the Japanese reporter didn't care about any anger and quickly pricked up his ears. But Yang Yuting looked at the reporter and chuckled: "That's a trade secret, it's inconvenient to disclose!" ”

Yang Yuting's words choked the Japanese reporter half to death on the spot! But before the reporter could continue to ask questions, the rest of the reporters had already answered loudly!

"Mr. Yang Yuting, can you tell us when you expect the oil to be released?! After all, oil exploration is a high-tech and difficult job, are the three eastern provinces prepared? ! The British reporter asked anxiously.

But the sour tone in the words can be heard by everyone, and the United States has gnawed such a big piece of fat that people are jealous when they see it. Not to mention the UK, but what the journalist is telling is true.

You know, even if the United States took the East Texas oil field, it took 9 years! How can Manchuria make it able to guarantee that it can explore and actually drill for oil?!

Although it is very likely that oil will appear in the core with oil immersion, oil spots and oil sands, no one dares to pack a ticket for how many meters it needs to be drilled! There have been cases where you can't even drill oil, and the Japanese found traces of asphalt when they were exploring and drilling, but after investing a certain amount of money, they found nothing.

"Sir, you should know that no one dares to guarantee these things." Yang Yuting knew that the British journalist must have deliberately found fault, but he was not angry. The benefits are gone, don't you allow people to sour for a while?!

"According to the confirmation of geologists and exploration personnel, our drilling is definitely producing oil. As for the technology and equipment, we don't have to worry about it at all, because it's all the responsibility of Standard Oil. ”

Hearing Yang Yuting say this, the British reporter couldn't help but feel depressed, but he forgot! They have cooperated with Standard Oil in Manchuria! Even if they don't get oil, they don't have much to lose!

It's out of the oil, just sit on the ground and share the spoils! It's really good business!

Reporters from the United States and Germany then asked a few questions again, and the press conference was over. The Germans left with an attitude of indifference, and the Americans were elated!

The British are full of worries, and the Japanese are gritting their teeth! The British thought about whether they could make a share of this benefit, while the Japanese were resentful that the group of idiots of the Kwantung Army had lost Manchuria!

So much so that now oil has been found here, and the Manchurian group is also bastards! After spending so much time and money on the empire to unearth oil, these bastards should all be disemboweled!!

Early the next morning, the news of the discovery of oil in Manchuria appeared in the newspapers of various countries! The New York Times in the United States even got an interview with the technicians involved in the exploration drilling!

This is also Tu Qianjun's special care for Aban, of course! Harrett. It's not the first time Aban has cooperated with Tu Qianjun, so he naturally knows what to ask and report, and what not to see. The cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant!

The discovery of oil in Manchuria has once again set off a wave of Manchuria in the world, and what oil means is very obvious in this era! This has become an indispensable resource for the country!

Who wouldn't want to take a bite of this fat?! The Japanese published in their newspaper "Manchuria's Oil -- The Interests of the Original Empire," but the pages were full of remorse, indignantly arguing that if they had not given in, then the oil of Manchuria would now belong to the empire.

They don't know that even if they don't back down, they won't be able to explore for oil if they continue to fight. This is a matter of thinking, because historically, the Japanese have been in the three eastern provinces for so long and have not been able to explore for oil.

And the British published "Oil Development in Manchuria, Where is the British Empire going?!" This refers to the 30% exploitation rights obtained by the United States in the development of Manchurian oil! Among them, the convenient rail and sea transportation made the author conclude that transportation is not a problem, and the Americans are making a lot of money! At the same time, the author asks, will Britain be able to fight for certain interests for the enterprises of its own country?!

The Germans, on the other hand, did not care too much about the oil in Manchuria, and they knew from the bottom of their hearts that even if they cared, they would not gain much benefit. Now Germany has no strength to compete with the nations.

Therefore, they merely reported the news that Tu Qianjun intended to visit Germany in the near future. By the way, I published the discovery of oil in Manchuria.

France, Italy and other countries know that even if they strive for these interests, they will not have a chance to get any benefits, so they can only sour and say that they may not be able to explore oil, and these are just signs.

The Nanjing government, which is directly subordinate to Manchuria, chose to block these reports directly, and even some of their subordinate newspapers were not allowed to report on the discovery of oil in Manchuria.

This can't be blamed on Nanjing's sullen and sensitive side, it's really Manchuria's development too fast! Even its development speed has far surpassed that of Nanjing, and even many newspaper reporters said after going to Manchuria that the difference between Manchuria and Nanjing is like two countries!

Nanjing is at least five to ten years behind Manchuria! The speed of local development has surpassed that of the central government by five to ten years, how can you make the Nanjing government embarrassed?!

And the day after the discovery of the oil was announced, Yang Yuting, deputy governor of the three eastern provinces, chief of the foreign affairs department of the three eastern provinces, general director of the commerce department and deputy general director of the Ministry of Justice of the three eastern provinces, announced again that a rescue plan would be launched against the large-scale famine in Guannai!

Referring to 1931, we only note 918. But we have not noticed the many disasters and hardships in China over the years.

In August 1931, a major flood occurred in the Yangtze River. As the rainfall in the Yangtze River basin in July was more than double that of the same period in normal years, the rivers and lakes were full. In August, major floods occurred in Jinshakou, Minkou and Jialing rivers. When the flood of the Sichuan River flows eastward, it meets the flood of the middle and lower reaches, causing a river-wide flood.

The embankments along the river have burst in many places, and the floods have spread throughout Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan and other provinces, flooding more than 50 million mu of farmland in the middle and lower reaches, and drowning 145,000 people! Among them, the two lakes were the hardest hit, and 50 of the 70 counties in Hubei were affected.

Nanjing and Wuhan were flooded, the highest water level in Wuhan reached 2,020 meters, the highest record since the station was built in 1865, most of the water in Wuhan urban area was several feet to more than zhang, many streets can be navigated, and 32,600 people died of floods, hunger and plague!

The entire Jianghan Plain was an ocean, and the flood soaked for three months.

When the autumn wind rises again, the newspapers are full of news of the flood. This year, the affected areas of the country reached 16 provinces, of which the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River basin in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan 8 provinces are extremely serious!

According to statistics, the total affected population in the 8 provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan is 51.27 million!! By September, heavy rains fell in the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Pearl River, Songhua River and other river basins, affecting 17 provinces, and the number of victims rose to 80 million to 100 million!!

China...... A piece of mourning is everywhere! Countless people are looking forward to being saved, but who can save them in the troubled times?! For such a catastrophe, the Nanjing government only allocated 300,000 yuan in September, but it was withheld by Chen Tiaoyuan, chairman of the provincial government.

The counties are in a state of absoluteness, and there are many shady scenes. In November, someone wrote sadly and indignantly in the "Anhui Disaster Weekly": "The government has always been insensitive, indifferent to the lives of the people, and has not been nervous at all about this disaster relief work, and has not paid the slightest attention to this disaster relief work." If you really have to wait for the food promised by the government, the victims "have already become hungry prisoners!" ”

Of course, they have a better way. That was the "substitution of soldiers for relief" invented by local governors and national governments at that time.

In December, more than 175,000 refugees were still stranded in Wuhan, and they were subjected to various official harassments, with hundreds of refugees executed as political prisoners.

"The climate is very cold, and more than 100 people freeze to death every day." The only place these refugees could go was to go down to the recruiting flags fluttering in the streets to register as soldiers in exchange for a mouthful of groceries. This is the greatest invention of the authorities -- "substituting soldiers for relief."

Of course, as the leader at that time, Jiang Zhongzheng naturally had to express himself. On 1 September, he published a telegram entitled "Appeal for Disaster Relief."

The focus of this telegram was on the so-called "bait chaos" and announced that "the CSI has only one ambition and will go all out to suppress the red, regardless of anything else." As for the great flood, he claimed that ...... was a "natural disaster, which cannot be defended by man."

And then what?! No then.

A day after the announcement of the oil, in the conference room of the Manchuria State Guest House in Mukden, Mr. Yang asked the staff to take the reports and hand them to the reporters present. He looked at the reporters and said in a deep voice.

"After careful calculation and planning, the Northeast National Defense Force and the three eastern provincial governments decided to mobilize 200,000 troops of the National Defense Force to participate in the disaster relief! We will use 500,000 stone of grain stored in the Northeast and 1 million oceans, and at the same time call half of the trains to transport the victims to Manchuria! ”
