ps: 1862 is now nearing the end of writing, and Han Feng is about to prepare a new book. The next update will be a little less, four thousand a day! Everyone, considerate and considerate!

Under the morning sun, the morning mist gradually lifted. On the desolate Gobi Desert on the edge of the Persian Gulf, the iron towers are particularly eye-catching, and from a distance, they look like many straight trees.

It is precisely by relying on these big guys, commonly known as kowtow machines, and the network of oil pipelines connecting these pumping units and refineries, as well as the oil tankers that travel to and from the ocean, that the "blood" of modern industry, oil, can be continuously transported to every place where it is needed in the industry, as well as to every corner of society.

This is Kuwait, known as the 'Chinese oil barrel'. After years of development, the oil industry here has successfully surpassed Nanyang and become the leader of China's oil industry. Whether it is the production or the level of technology, the gold content of each oil field here can be on par with the world's top level.

For example, the Blue Bay oil field, which is close to the Persian Gulf, now produces 4 million tons of oil a year and is working hard to achieve 5 million tons. The affiliated refinery can 'digest' all the oil produced in the oil field, and these high-quality light crude oils can be refined up to 11 varieties. From a technical point of view, the whole of Kuwait has actually developed into a modern comprehensive petrochemical enterprise, including geological exploration, drilling, oil production, oil refining, machine repair, hydropower, transportation, communications, construction and installation, etc., a series of production departments and logistics departments, with more than 30,000 workers and technicians. This also includes a continuing education school for the oil industry. The students come from petroleum schools all over the country, and outstanding students are selected to come for further study + study one year before the end of their studies. There are more than 2,000 teachers and students.

The Kuwait Development Corporation (KDC) is the largest oil company on the planet at the moment, with unimaginable strength from foreign companies. Tens of thousands of skilled workers are resourced, backed by the entire country. There is only one purpose, that is, to train enough technical and management talents for the rapid development of China's petroleum industry, and to provide sufficient technical support for the future domestic oil discovery.

In order to enable China's petroleum industry technology to catch up with the world's advanced level as soon as possible, as early as the Nanyang oil era, the government spared no expense in hiring foreign technical experts to China for guidance, especially the United States, which has the largest number of technical experts and the best technology. The reason is very simple, the level of the oil industry in the United States has always been the most advanced in the world, even now. Petro-Canada, a British and American partnership, is also developing northern Alberta's oil resources by American standards.

The oil industry of the European powers is now at most catching up with the level of the United States, and even Britain and Germany dare not say that they have surpassed it.

The earliest oil industry in China's Nanyang was developed step by step to the point of attracting worldwide attention under the guidance of American technical experts. Then PetroChina erupted in the Middle East with a bright black gold flower!

This is not only in the development of drilling technology, but also in oil production technology and refining technology. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were an era of rampant free trade, and as long as you were willing to pay money, there was no technology and equipment you couldn't buy, and there were no experts you couldn't hire. What's more, China's power development and internal combustion engine development have always been at the forefront of the world, and a large number of new technologies have been applied to the innovation of the petroleum industry. Large-scale investment and strong technical support have naturally paid off handsomely.

China's petroleum industry not only adopts practical and practical oil recovery and refining technologies that have been proven to be feasible, but also acts as a testing ground for advanced technologies. Presently. The main technical experimental projects in Yumen Oil Mine are water injection, high-pressure oil recovery technology and electrical logging drilling technology. It is still the 'flood era' of the oil industry, and the average recovery rate of the oilfield is only 15~20%, and the drilling depth is not large. The only means of observing the reservoir are simple thermometers, pressure gauges, etc.

However, with the gradual spread of electric power, logging technology centered on electrical measurement methods and drilling technology for deep wells above 3,000 meters are developing rapidly. The development of the oil industry is inseparable from the accompaniment of the electricity industry.

Naturally, when China's petroleum industry is at the forefront of the world step by step. It was accompanied by the incomplete satisfaction of Emperor Liu, as well as greater support.

As a historical traveler, Emperor Liu knew too well the importance of oil to a country's industrialization, and modern industry was actually built on the basis of the oil industry. So in the beginning, he preferred to give up part of his interests to the British and Dutch, and also to seize the time to develop China's oil industry.

However, China is not a big oil-producing country, Emperor Liu has always been a clear-headed person, he tried his best to grab land, all the root of everything in addition to Huanghanism, is to rob those that are not available now, but a hundred years later can support a superpower of all kinds of resources!

Just like Afghanistan, where the whole country is now full of vitality, how long has this geological and geographical miracle been? Tens of billions of dollars have been influxed, minerals have been exploited, and hundreds of thousands of Afghans have found jobs in the mines that are sufficient for them to live on. The whole country was immediately at peace.

The same is true for the oil industry. If it weren't for China's power, which is really difficult to swallow up the Middle East, do you think it would cede all the peninsula and the two river basins? Emperor Liu's greed for resources was to a certain extent greater than that of land. He never forgot Australia, not because of its geographical location and huge area, but because of Australia's minerals!

Every move taken by Emperor Liu in the past few years was based on the victory of the war, and the success after the victory of the war was based on the final capture of Australia.

Chinese are very good at deceiving the upper and lower, and the executive president of Kuwait Development Corporation has clearly felt the threat that the company may suffer, and even the trend of the local stock market has declined, but in Kuwait, this trade paradise in the Middle East, is still full of traffic, people are surging, shoulder to shoulder, and lively and prosperous as before.

Because the development company that united with the Kuwaiti garrison directly cut off the source of external media such as Ta Kung Pao, the newspaper that circulated its own newspaper reported good news and bad news, and 30,000 company workers, employees and more Chinese in Kuwait. There was no idea that Kuwait was under threat. Even if there is occasional gossip circulating, it cannot be confirmed. How many people can believe it?

In short, the current Kuwaiti Chinese are still looking at the ongoing Balkan war with a lively mentality.

They simply don't know. Before the Italians lost more than 6,000 men and a light cruiser, an armored cruiser in the Battle of the Dardanelles, the Chinese soldiers were officially involved in the war.

The Italians taught all the members of the Chinese military delegation a lesson with their poor organizational standards for landing warfare, so that they could clearly see how heavy losses the army would suffer under the current mode of warfare.

The Italians' light cruisers and armoured cruisers were not destroyed by airship units, but by the Ottoman batteries in the Dardanelles with their very limited submarines. Why is this so? It was because the Italian fleet had to use its own firepower to support and protect the Italian troops on the landing field who could not move forward at all, as well as the transport ships full of Italian soldiers.

When the fleet is confined to a certain range, the most powerful fleet is faced with the cooperation of batteries and underwater submarines. It will also end in failure. The Italian landing force, deprived of the support of surface firepower, was bombed by airships and bombarded by heavy artillery, and 3,270 Italian soldiers walked into the Ottoman prisoner of war camp with their hands raised. In the whole battle, the Italians landed in four places, all of which failed, and the farthest one was only 8 kilometers to the land. In total, the Italians lost about 6,500 army soldiers. Although the normal campaign lasted for half a month before and after!

Because every time after a failed landing operation, the Italians would bombard the Dardanelles with their powerful fleet. Intense shelling usually lasts more than five days. Until the next landing operation plan is made!

On the tenth day of the Battle of the Dardanelles, Chinese soldiers entered the Strait Guard in full force. The whole battle has been experienced, experience and precautions. To sum up, you can write a masterpiece of hundreds of thousands of words. This campaign provided a very good teaching material for the Chinese General Staff and all military schools.

When the General Staff Department sent the systematically summarized report, a thick stack of manuscripts of more than 200 pages, to Emperor Liu, Liu Xian only read the beginning and completely threw it away. Lag behind, a lot of military jargon. Liu Xian couldn't read it, and it was too brain-consuming.

Liu has never thought of himself as a real military strategist, and his 'great feats' have too much water. It also made Emperor Liu soberly identify a fact - as long as there is a virtual map. That's it!

Things like the current one in terms of logistics transportation and combat organization are really incompatible with the real Emperor Liu! But the establishment of the Chinese military system and the development of military education in China. It is inseparable from this thick stack of materials.

The value of military theorists and political theorists, Liu Xian has long been soberly aware of their value. These people are by no means brick beasts who can only put their mouths into their mouths. Real military theorists and political theorists lead the forefront of military and political development and lead the progress of the entire human society! Just like Marx's "Capital", Mahan's "Theory of Sea Power", and Clausewitz's "Theory of War", their great significance affects all mankind!

They may not be famous generals like Sun Wu and Napoleon, or politicians like Cromwell, Franklin, Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but they can deal with and summarize the laws of objective things through the abstract ideas of relevant objective things!

At present, there are no military theorists like Mahan and Clausewitz who twist the whole world with the words of one family in China's military circles, and most of the hundreds of military works in various military academies and branches of the armed forces in China have been compiled by the joint efforts of manpower.

Of course, in the eyes of foreigners, China has the great god of Emperor Liu, who is completely the most precious brain in military history since the birth of the earth's civilization.

It was he who single-handedly pushed the war from a two-dimensional mode to a three-dimensional mode, air-ground coordination, and three-dimensional strikes, which have been the focus of military theoretical research in the East and the West for many years. Not to mention the armored forces. Then there are the dreadnoughts and battle cruisers on the naval side!

Foreigners do not know at all that Liu Xian's theory and 'war thinking' are in fact completely empty buildings, very high-altitude and forward-looking, but they have no foundation. He would never have done this himself! It is the tens of thousands of military instructors in China who have really filled in and laid the foundation little by little, and it is they who have made China's military circles enjoy a lofty position in the world today.

Behind the thick books of military theory are fierce wars. Although China has not fought for more than a decade, some fragmentary skirmishes have always been maintained. However, all the wars took place on land, and the battles on the sea were far away for the Chinese people.

At present, not only do foreigners not recognize the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Navy's surface ships, but even China's own people have little confidence in talking about their own navy.

Submariners are superior to those on surface ships, and this is because of the prestige of China's submarine forces, which is also recognized within the navy. But even the sailors on the torpedo boats seem to have a higher status than the sailors on the battleships, which is wrong.

All this can only be blamed on the fact that the Chinese surface fleet did not really have a good record.

China's warships on the sea have not made any major moves in recent years, and the exercises have been held every year, and landing warfare is still one of the key points of attention, but no matter how well they do on the training ground, they are not reliable from battlefield experience. This battle of the Dardanelles by the Italians can be said to be a very good verification for the Chinese navy [including the Marine Corps]!

However, compared to the weakness of the Italians in the Aegean Sea, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the other predator that entered the battlefield subsequently, performed quite strongly.

As soon as it was struck, it was two front armies, 200,000 troops.

Liu Xian smiled disdainfully. Austria-Hungary, a traditional European power whose strength does not seem to be weak, is just like the old man of the original time and space, it has obviously fallen to the second-rate level, but it always wants to have first-class face and do first-class things!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the commander-in-chief of the battle line with the Austrian Emperor Archduke Eugen, who was the great-grandson of Emperor Leopold, the grandson of the famous Austrian general Karl Karl, who defeated Napoleon, and the hero of the Italian War of 1866 Albrecht. Friedrich. Son of Grand Duke Rudolph. He was also the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, who was hereditary in the Habsburg-Parma lineage, and whose actual military prowess was very, very ordinary, but he was wise and never gave his chief of staff, the de facto commander-in-chief, Svetozal. Feng. Admiral Boroyevich added to the chaos.

The commander-in-chief of the 200,000 Austro-Hungarian army was Svetozal. Feng. Admiral Boroyevich. This is a Serb who is extremely loyal to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor! (To be continued.) )
