Chapter 838
Looking at the stunned expressions of the British people opposite, Zhang Zhao smiled in his heart.
For this mission, Zhang Zhao is really confident, because in his opinion, there are probably few people in this world who can resist the temptation of 20 million pounds in cash. What's more, the current Anglo-Iranian oil company in Iran has only drilled an oil well. Although the production of that oil well seems to be very large, but after all, there is no way to compare with the Tampico oil field in Mexicoββββββ and now the world's largest oil well is in Tampico, and it is definitely an ultra-high production capacity that ordinary oil wells cannot match, and it is precisely because of this relationship that the oil field has brought huge benefits to Yan Shao, even if the main projects of Yushi Group have been transferred to the automobile industry and other industries, the income of the oil field is still not to be ignored.
And even for such an oil field, the Rockefellers of Standard Oil only used 50 million US dollars, not to mention that now the British are only in the hands of an oil well?
To be honest, Zhang Zhao really didn't understand why Yan Shao would give such generous conditions. In his opinion, even if you count the exploration rights of the entire Iranian region, 10 million pounds is enough, and there is no need to make 10 million out of it. There's so much money that it can be used for other things
Moreover, there is actually another reason why he will be so confident this time, this reason is that before he left, Yan Shao had told him that the bottom line of this negotiation was 30 million poundsββββββ which suddenly increased by 10 million.
Thirty million pounds, this can no longer be called a silver bullet at all. Instead, it should be called a golden bullet tactic!
Is there anyone in this world who can resist the power of this tactic? Zhang Zhao doesn't think so!
In any case, Zhang Zhao's task was simple, which was to get the exploration rights and oil wells from the British. So after putting your own conditions out. Zhang Zhao looked directly at the few people sitting opposite.
On the other hand, although I wanted to refuse Zhang Zhao, I looked at the check in Zhang Zhao's hand, and the long string of 0 on the check...
In any case, the few Englishmen sitting at the long table could not say no.
After a few moments of silence, one of them pursed his lips and said.
"I don't know if you can give us some time. So that we have time to discuss it carefully, and wait for the decisive time to reply to you..."
"Of course it's no problem...", Zhang Zhao stood up from his seat. The way of nonchalance. "Just ask you to give me an answer earlier, so as not to delay too much time..."
Zhang Zhaozhi was not worried at all, after all, in front of Brother Kong Fang, it was really difficult to say how many people could stand up straight. The people who can not bend their waists for five buckets of rice are very young in these years. Not to mention 20 million pounds. Not to mention if you really want to refuse. It has already been rejected a long time ago, and where does it need to be discussed.
It's just that judging from the information he has obtained, things may not really be smooth sailing.
After all, the Anglo-Iranian oil company is not what these people say, and there is a Churchill behind this company. This person is also the biggest backer of this company at the official level, and according to the information obtained by Zhang Zhao, this guy named Churchill is not only the main person in charge of the Battle of the Dardanelles, but also a very stubborn guy.
I want to persuade him to change his mind. It's definitely not an easy task.
If Churchill was unwilling to sell the oil company, it was almost impossible to persuade him to change his mind.
But...
Thankfully. This company is not up to him alone, so as long as Zhang Zhao can get the rest of the company to nod, then the rest will be easy to handle.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After nodding to the Britons around the long table, Zhang Zhao left the room, leaving only the Britons in the room.
Not long after Zhang Zhaoli opened the room, there was a quarrel in the room.
The content of the quarrel is, of course, related to the matter of oil wells and exploration rights.
After seeing the cheque worth 20 million pounds, just as Zhang Zhao thought, most of the people in the room were indeed moved. But there are still a small number of people who are reluctant to sell the exploration rights and oil wells in the hands of oil companies.
Their reasons are also simple and straightforward.
"Since the Chinese are willing to pay so much money to buy these things from us, maybe there are other oil resources and more oil wells hidden under the land of Iran, at this time if we sell what we have, and when the Chinese discover oil in the future, then we will not become the most stupid people under the sky, and I am afraid that we will regret it in the future..."
This man was very direct, and it was true.
Since the people of the Yushi Group are so enthusiastic and willing to spend so much money, doesn't it mean that there are a lot of oil resources under Iran's soil. Now that they have been sold, I am afraid that they will be the ones who will regret it in the future.
After all, Β£20 million is nothing compared to a large oil field.
However, such people are a minority in the room, so someone quickly retorted. "That being said, we have been exploring oil in Iran for so many years, have we ever drilled other oil wells besides the one that was drilled in '08? 12 years, if we could find it, we would have found it a long time ago, where do we have to wait until now? β
"Twenty million pounds, it's not an instalment, it's a lot of cash. With this money, we can do what we want to do, or go to more places to explore for oil, and there is no need to stay in a place like Iran..."
This man's words were also supported by many people.
Of course, they are not stupid and do not understand the reasoning, but the point is that it has been 12 years since the first oil well was discovered in Iran, and it is not that they have not discovered a second oil well, the problem is other than the first. The other wells are basically low-production wells, and the high-production wells are basically none.
It's been 12 years, if you can really find out. It's basically long overdue.
Since I haven't found it yet, I'm afraid it's...
Besides, that's 20 million pounds, not 2 million pounds.
Such a large sum of money is distributed among everyone, and it is not necessarily less beneficial than oil. What's more, the person in front of him is right, with this money, they can do anything, even if it is all over the world to explore for oil...
In that case, why not trade with the Chinese?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After Zhang Zhaoli opened. There was a lot of noise in the room, but the opposition was too weak compared to the pro-sale faction.
Soon. The news reached Churchill's ears, and in fact, it was impossible not to penetrate it, after all, Churchill was one of the shareholders of this company anyway, and it can be regarded as the backstage of this company at the government level. It is basically impossible not to inform him.
Especially when it comes to selling. It would not have been possible without his consent.
As Zhang Zhao thought, Churchill did not agree to sell the oil wells and exploration rights. It's not just disagree, it's just resolutely opposed!
However, at this time, the vast majority of shareholders in the company were in favor of selling, after all, it is difficult to say where it is, but the 20 million pounds is real.
Churchill wanted to object, of course, but first he needed to make up for the losses of all shareholders.
This. It was undoubtedly very difficult for Churchill, after all, it was 20 million pounds!
For a country. It may not be particularly difficult to come up with 20 million pounds, but for individuals, 20 million is definitely an astronomical amount, and it is difficult to say whether there are more than 100 people in the world who can have 20 million pounds...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the conference room, looking at Churchill, who was in trouble, and his few poor supporters, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the first to speak.
If the British want to sell the exploration rights there, as well as the only oil well, 20 million pounds may be enough, but for Yan Shao, based on these alone, after all, it is still a little worse, at least there is no feeling of victory.
So while doing this, Yan Shao did not forget to let people contact the people of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in private.
But is there such a saying, strong fortresses are usually breached from the inside.
If it is just a direct hard pressure with money from the outside, there may still be a little possibility of failure, but if the Anglo-Iranian oil company buys the internal ghost and comes to the inside and outside, then the possibility of success will be greatly increased.
As for this inner ghost, after all, not everyone in this world has an enmity with money...
So the ghost or something, it only takes a lot of effort, and it's easy to find out. At least after the Yushi Group collected a little information, it easily selected a very suitable candidate, and this person, after the Yushi Group successfully purchased the oil well and exploration rights, will get a position in the Yushi Group, as well as a very generous bonusββββββ naturally, since such a person can sell Yingyi Oil for money today, it is entirely possible to sell Yushi Group for something else in the future.
So while there is a promise to give that person a position, it is only the marginalized one. Basically, there is no actual right, naturally, the salary will definitely not be less, it definitely belongs to the ranks of high salaries, and Yan Shao didn't care much about this.
After all, if you can get all the Iranian oil, let alone just a high-paying position, even if you raise another hundred, there will be no problem...
After all, the black gold in Iran's underground, as long as it is mined, is definitely higher than the annual financial income of an ordinary country. And for a country, it is absolutely no problem to raise a hundred idlers.
In any case, this bought ghost did play a role, and in the face of the siege of other people who were inclined to sell the exploration rights and other things, even Churchill, who was known for his eloquence, was somewhat helpless...
If Yan Shao stood aside at this time, he would definitely look at the qiΔ in front of him with an appreciative attitude. After all, in his time, Churchill's reputation was known even to children. This is especially true of the many stories associated with Churchill in particular...
For example, Churchill's angry photo and so on, and the fact that Britain cheated Turkey was also pushed by Churchill behind the scenes. In the end, Turkey was able to join the Allies. However, because of the underestimation of the strength of the Turks, it also led to the fiasco of the Battle of the Dardanelles...
Looking at such a person, who is besieged by others in front of him, is red-faced, although he is trying his best to argue, there is no way at all, let alone stop everyone's greed, which is undoubtedly a visual enjoyment.
All right. Yan Shao is not perverted, but...
It is undoubtedly a very interesting thing to watch a celebrity in front of him and show his feelings that are completely different from those recorded in history.
Of course. The fact that Churchill would be so wolf now also has something to do with the fact that he was still young and did not experience many things as he did in later generations. If it were the same person who lived through the Second World War, it would not have been possible to reverse the situation. But at least it will definitely not be so wolfy...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Human nature is greedy. In the face of greedy human nature, even Churchill had no choice.
So when the vast majority of the shareholders of Anglo-Iranian Petroleum agreed to sell the exploration rights and oil wells to Yushi Group in exchange for the 20 million pounds in cash. Although Churchill and the other few opponents were not reconciled, there was little more to do...
After all, if Churchill wanted to stop the deal, he would have to compensate the other shareholders. But 20 million pounds, such a huge sum of money, is definitely not something that Churchill can afford...
Don't say it's 20 million. Even if it is two million, Churchill may not be able to take it.
Of course. Churchill also considered getting the British government involved, and basically as long as the government could get involved, things would be much easier.
But there is a government behind Churchill, and there is a government behind the Rainstone Group. After learning that Churchill intended to influence the matter through the channels of the government, the government of the National Society quickly intervened, and the reason is very simple...
"This is just an ordinary business transaction, so why bother to involve politics, you only need to follow the laws of the market, isn't this what your government has always pursued..."
Free trade, of course, is what the British government admires, but at that time, it was usually the British government that bought the property in other countries, or simply snatched things from other countries, and as for letting others run to their own homes to buy such things, the British had never encountered such a thing...
The British government's position is now extremely awkward.
To intervene in this matter would be contrary to the British government's consistent position, which is the principle of free trade.
All developed countries have pursued protectionism to protect their manufacturing, services and agriculture, and when they have accumulated sufficient wealth to ensure that they can benefit from free trade, they have begun to actively pursue free trade policies. Britain pursued a protective industrial policy from the 18th century to the mid-19th century, and when Britain had a leading economy, it began to support free trade.
Free trade policies are a product of the period of free competition in Western countries. Britain pursued this policy for 60 years and played a role in the development of British capitalism at that time. However, after World War II, although the UN Charter stipulates the principle of free trade, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) also explicitly stipulates the reduction of tariffs and the elimination of non-tariff barriers, trade protectionism has been prevalent in most countries of the world.
It's just that it's not World War II after all, and free trade is still prevalent all over the world.
As in China, as in the past, the great powers would often buy up some of China's private enterprises. But the government will not stop it, because this is a legitimate business practice, the government has no reason to stop itββββββ of course, they dare not stop it.
And if the British government intervenes this time, then if something similar happens in China in the future, the Chinese government can intervene on the same grounds. It is difficult to say which of the two countries would suffer more if this were to be done.
Naturally, if China is still as weak as before, the British government certainly does not have to worry about anything, and can directly send warships to swim around, and everything will be done.
But if you do it now...
It's a bit of a death-hunting...
Although by this time Churchill had largely escaped the shadow of the Battle of the Dardanelles. He even regained high positions in the British cabinet, and was given the position of Colonial Secretary and Air Secretary, but the British government still had many concerns about this.
But it's the real headache for the British government. I'm afraid it's still the attitude of the Anglo-Iranian oil company.
If Anglo-Iranian oil companies are unwilling to sell exploration rights or oil wells, then the key is that the vast majority of managers in the company are now willing to sell these two things in exchange for the 20 million pounds promised by the Chinese...
One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, what do you say he can do, which is also one of the reasons why Churchill is alone in the company.
What's more, Yushi Group has been operating in the UK for several years. With the silver bullet tactic, there are not without people in the British government who cannot speak. On the other hand, shareholders who are willing to sell their exploration rights also have a lot of connections within the government. When the two things were added together, the British government could only ignore Churchill's request and chose to sit idly by.
Without the intervention of the British government, Churchill alone could not change the situation.
So. It didn't take long. Zhang Zhao got the answer he wanted the most.
"Agreed!"
Naturally, in this process, the British are not without thinking about raising some prices. It's just that Zhang Zhao himself is also a veteran negotiator, although the bottom line given by Yan Shao is 30 million pounds, but if the deal is really made according to the bottom line, then he will not become an incompetent person in Yan Shao's eyes.
Not to mention today's China, there are few people who can bear Yan Shao's disappointed eyes, even if they think about their future prospects in the Yushi Group. Zhang Zhao also had to keep the price down.
Anyway, there are 20 million pounds here, and Zhang Zhao is not worried that the British will regret it at all.
And that's exactly what happened...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Iran. At the exploration headquarters of Yushi Group, Zhao Qingming was reading a newspaper in his office.
To be exact, it is the content of a domestic newspaper transmitted by GuΓ² radio waves.
Unlike Iraq, Iran also has several provinces such as Kuwait. No matter how unwilling the natives of Iraq and Kuwait may be, they are nominally part of China's territory, and they are recognized by Britain and the United States, and even by the Japanese government.
So even if the locals are unwilling, a large number of Chinese have migrated to these two placesββββββ of course, compared to Siberia and Central Asia, the number of migrants is undoubtedly much smaller.
It is not surprising that the Middle East is not very suitable for farming, even compared to Siberia and Central Asia. At the same time, in terms of other resources, such as iron ore, it does not seem to be very good, and there is no way to compare with regions such as Siberia and Central Asia.
Coupled with the fact that the government has never made any effort to find oil in these areas, many people think that this place is no different from the wasteland, so naturally few people want to move to these places...
As a result, the Middle East can almost be said to be the least populated region.
Of course, there are still a few, and the number of migrants so far is probably in the thousands.
They were accompanied by official newspapers such as JoongAng Ilbo, as well as several small private newspapers. After all, this is the land of Chinese, and even if there are fewer Chinese people living here, they should also have some other institutions.
Merely...
This can be done on the Iraqi side, but not on the Iranian side.
Because Iran is different from Iraq, although they both have an Iraq character, Iran is not China's territory.
Life here is also extremely boring, and there are few ways to spend it, especially as a daily pastime. So the staff here simply used telegraphs and other facilities to print out some domestic news for the people living here to watch...
It's not useful, but it's at least a pastime.
Of course, while being bored, Zhao Qingming and the others did not relax their vigilance. After all, in their hands, they have several pieces of vital information, information about Iranian oil.
If this information is revealed, the interests of the group will be greatly affected.
Hence the Rainstone Group's institutions in Iran. Almost all of them were given gag orders. Not only are only a few people aware of the news, but even those who know are tight-lipped.
Just on the other hand, while delighted in the discovery of oil. People like Zhao Qingming are also a little worried in their hearts. Because in today's Iran, a considerable part of the land exploration is owned by the British, although they also have a lot in their hands, not necessarily less than the British, but if it is developed in the future...
In the final analysis, Anglo-Iranian oil is here, after all, deeper rooted than them.
And although the Yushi Group is a huge monster that ordinary people can't compete with. But it can't be the king in every corner of the world. There are many areas that still have to keep a low profile.
This is especially true in the southern part of Iran, which is part of the British sphere of influence, and according to their exploration results, southern Iran is the most likely area to have oil.
More precisely. It is an area along the coast of Iran.
He had already received the news that the group was negotiating with Anglo-Iranian Oil to buy the exploration rights from them, as well as the only oil well.
Although Zhao Qingming is not clear about the group's offer. But now that the group has found it. I believe there are still a lot of sures.
It's just that if the British discover the oil resources buried under the land, then I'm afraid it will be...
"I just hope that it will not be so coincidental, otherwise I am afraid that things will be difficult at that time..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qingming smiled bitterly, and then put the 'newspaper' in his hand aside/
Although the above news is basically made by the telegraph operator, in fact, there is not much news worth paying attention to, and the only thing that can make people have some interest. It's just some gossip newsββββββ of course, the official newspapers are certainly not so vulgar. These were all taken down from some tabloids.
I have to say that sometimes compared with some reports that are too serious, this kind of report is more popular and popular...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when Zhao Qingming was a little bored, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then he saw a thin middle-aged man wearing a robe and a horse coat and a beard on his chin walking in from outside.
Although it is now a new era, even so, there will still be some people in this world who are nostalgic for the old times.
This is also known as the old and the youngββββββ well, it may be a bit too much to say.
However, with the advent of the new era, there are many people who still like to wear robes and horse coats. And the number of such people has always been high, even today. And many people have even brought this habit abroad, in the United States or some other countries, it is not uncommon to see people in suits and other costumes, standing side by side with those in long robes and horse coats...
Because this is an individual act, the national government will not intervene.
After all, even when the Anhui Military Government was established, Yan Shao never forced the Chinese to cut off their braids, let alone just a matter of clothes. However, after a few years, most of those who were reluctant to cut their braids have already been cut.
Although Yan Shao did not enforce such policies, he still did a lot of relevant publicity.
Of course, there are still some people in China who still have braids, but most of them are the widows of the former Qing Dynasty, and ordinary people are very rare...
In any case, this is the freedom of these people, and the government has only the right to persuade and not to force changesββββββ except where it threatens public safety.
By the way, today's China is not like the original China, which either wore traditional clothes worn in the past, or suits or tuxedos. Some of the more modern and more common costumes in later generations have also been born, such as T-shirts and so on...
Because of factors such as beauty and aspect, this kind of clothing is very popular among young people, as for the elderly...
Looking at this thin middle-aged man, you can see that there is a problem with this kind of clothing. For this kind of old-age people, they still prefer those traditional clothes, even if these clothes don't look good, and it's not convenient at all...
Saw this man walk in. Zhao Qingming asked a little strangely. "Lao Li, what's wrong?"
He is very familiar with this person, after all, he is also a colleague working in the same company. It's just that he rarely saw this person so flustered in the past, so it was inevitably a little strange.
The thin middle-aged man named Lao Li didn't say much, just took out a telegram from his hand. "This is a telegram that has just been sent from China, saying that the matter of exploration rights has been completed, and we should immediately enter other areas to carry out exploration work."
Speaking of this, the thin middle-aged man paused, and then continued to speak. "Other than that. There are also plans to build a railway and road in northern Iran, linking Turkmenistan province with the province of Iraq in the same way, and it is hoped that we will be able to send some people who know more about the area. Responsible for helping solve some problems..."
Hearing the news, Zhao Qingming was stunned at first, and then he became happy.
"Great!" His hands slapped hard, and he made a loud sound. The voice echoed in the room. After half a sound, Zhao Qingming said with some excitement. "I'll settle the matter right away! In addition, there is exploration work, you are also responsible for this, we have coveted the British land for a long time, and now the British are finally out of here..."
Although Rainstone has also acquired some oil exploration rights in Iran, a significant part of the area is owned by Anglo-Iranian oil companies. And because of the relationship that came much earlier than the Yushi Group, the area chosen by this company is actually much more suitable than the Yushi Group from a certain point of view...
So after it was determined that Iran did have a lot of oil resources, these people who were in charge of exploration work in Iran. I have always coveted the land to which the British belonged.
However, at that time, it was obviously impossible for the British to let them explore their own territory, even if they did. That also belongs to the British.
Now...
Although Yushi Group is a business group, it also has a close relationship with China because of Yan Shao's relationship. This is also the reason why such a deformed monster as the Rainstone Group has been tolerated to this day. It's not just because of Yan Shao's relationship, it's not because Yushi Group will spend a lot of money on disaster relief every year. Rather, it is because there are many things that are inconvenient for the government to intervene, all of which are carried out by the Yushi Group, just like the oil exploration in Iran this time.
Compared with the Ministry of Energy, a business group is undoubtedly more tolerant and acceptable.
Since it will be sent to oil exploration, the first question of faith must be tested. After all, many of the projects of Yushi Group today are actually closely related to the security of the country.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Just like the information that the Rainstone Group has at its base in Iran today, if it leaks out, the damage it will bring is definitely not something that can be calculated in money.
Therefore, character is the most important thing.
Of course, it can also be put in a more popular way, which is the so-called patriotic...
Whatever they were wearing, their loyalty to the country was unquestionable. Especially when this loyalty, combined with interests, goes hand in hand...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After quite some negotiations, the British finally capitulated in the face of silver bullet tactics.
In the end, for 20 million pounds, the Rainstone Group obtained from the British the right to explore oil on Iranian land, as well as the only oil well in Iran ββββββ the only high-production oil well in Iran.
As mentioned earlier, Anglo-Iranian oil has also drilled a lot of oil wells in Iran, but there is only one that is valuable.
As for the rest, they are basically just some low-yield oil wells, and they don't even have the ability to self-spray, and when they were negotiating, they were basically packaged and sent to Yushi Group.
And after getting what they wanted, Yushi Group also began its long-planned action. Almost under the noses of the British, exploration work began in areas that would otherwise belong only to them.
The British, who had stayed here, watched Chinese unscrupulous behavior while packing their bags and preparing to leave Iranββββββ even selling oil wells. Naturally, they had no reason to stay.
The Iranian government welcomes what is happening between China and the UK.
Because when it comes to signing a new agreement with the Iranian government, the Rainstone Group is just like it was not so long ago. The Iranian government was given an even better condition than the original.
In this way, it is naturally easy to get the support of the Iranian government.
On the other hand, with the agreement between the Chinese government and the British government, the Iranian government no longer has any objections to China's construction of railways within its own borders.
At least the current Iranian government does not have such an idea, but has welcomed it quite generously. After all, the conditions given by the national government were indeed good, and they had no reason to objectββββββ if there was no garrison clause.
It can be said that the whole agreement is inside. The only thing that the Iranian government is somewhat unhappy with is the terms of the station.
According to the terms, the Communist government could station at least three infantry divisions along the railway, even if it was a C division. There are almost more than 30,000 people, which is already stronger than the entire army of Iran, and if it is the new division of the National Government, I am afraid that there will be as many as 100,000 people.
This is especially important. At the time of signing this clause. It is not indicated which level of troops are stationed on the territory of Iran ...
In other words, the Nationalist government can station whatever level it wants, and the Iranian government has no right to intervene at allββββββ naturally, Yan Shao is not aggressive, so it was originally only intended to station an infantry division on the Iranian railway, and it was only a type C infantry division.
After all, Iran does not have much strength at all, and Yan Shao does not have to worry about the threat from Iran at all. Even now Iran intends to turn the other cheek with China. The strength of one infantry division alone is enough to sweep across the whole of Iran.
Moreover, there are also a lot of troops stationed in Central Asia and the Middle East. As long as the railways and roads are connected, the troops in these two directions can completely enter Iran along the railways and highways, and completely solve any hostile forces in Iran...
The so-called quota of the three divisions is just to leave some leeway.
Even if Iran decides to oppose China in the future, and the British government has helped, the Nationalist government is sure that in the shortest possible time, Iran will be completely eliminated, and a decisive battle with Britain will be fought in Iran...
Then, homeopathic to the British mainland...
To be honest, although the British Navy is indeed very powerful, even Yan Shao is jealous, but the British Army, Yan Shao really hasn't paid attention to it.
After all, Britain started entirely with the navy in history, and as for the army, I really haven't heard of any proud achievements. Even in the entire First World War, the Western Front battlefield was almost supported by the French, and in World War II, the British Army was even worse, especially in the Southeast Asian theater, which was solved by the Japanese, who were much poorly equipped.
As for the North African theater, the British Army on the North African theater was not much better. However, the German army in North Africa suffered a hard life, and the Italian Navy on the sea could not guarantee logistics, and the Italian Army on land was mostly unhelpful. Not to mention that at that time on the battlefield in North Africa, the Americans also inserted.
If Germany could guarantee logistics, there would be absolutely no problem in holding out on to the North African battlefield for at least a whileββββββ of course, the biggest problem of the Axis powers at that time was probably the problem of logistics.
After all, on the Allied side, there is still the United States as an arsenal, which can supply a steady stream of materials needed for the war. On the Axis side, this is the biggest problem of the Axis powers, just like the Japanese side, which is scarce in resources, and the German side is also scarce in resources when the war is in the back.
All in all, resources are scarce...
Fighting a war is fighting logistics, and even logistics can't be guaranteed, so what can we talk about...
Even the famous army generals in World War II, except for one Montgomery, may not be able to come up with anyone to elect them. Even this Montgomery has a relatively average evaluation, but apart from him, it is really difficult to find a high evaluation in the UK...
To paraphrase a sentence, the British fierce generals are like clouds, such as Montgomery, and that ......... Who's that?
Therefore, when facing the British Navy, Yan Shao may still be a little cautious, but if it is the British Army, Yan Shao does not feel that he needs to be careful at all...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After the exploration rights were granted, a large number of exploration experts began to enter the area that was supposed to belong to the United Kingdom. However, on the other hand, although some people in the group had already mentioned that the news of the discovery of oil could be announced, in the end Yan Shao still did not agree to this construction.
After obtaining the exploration rights from the Anglo-Iranian oil company and the only oil well, from a certain point of view, the oil resources of the entire Middle East have fallen into the hands of the national government, or Yan Shao.
Because not only the provinces in the Middle East currently occupied by the national government, that is, Iraq, Kuwait and the coast of the eastern Persian Gulf, should have belonged to some areas of Saudi Arabia. Even some areas that originally belonged to Oman and other places have been obtained by the Yushi Group in various ways, which is the so-called oil exploration rightsββββββ which is the so-called oil exploration rights...
"Now, even if our children and grandchildren are going to lose, the foundation I have laid now is enough for them to lose for a long time..."
Saying this, Yan Shao's face couldn't help but show a smile.
If Yan Shao still needs anything, or is it worth worrying about, then ββββββ there seem to be a lot of things for Yan Shao to worry about?
From a certain point of view, Yan Shao is also a person who is easily frightened and worried. When he is fine, he thinks wildly, and one of the things that worries him the most is obviously what will happen to his successor.
At that time, Soviet Russia was also very powerful, not only its huge territory, but also the socialist camp almost all over the world, but the result? In the end, such a huge country fell apart because of its successor and various other reasons.
But then again, it's all the same thing, after all, if the successor is strong enough, it is impossible for Soviet Russia to end up like this...
It is also because of this that Yan Shao will work so hard to get a good foundation for his successor. In this way, no matter how hard the successor is in the future, with the foundation laid down by Yan Shao, it will be enough for them to be corrupted for at least one or two hundred years.
A hundred years...
Because according to Yan Shao's experience in later generations, more than 100 years later, human aerospace technology will enable it to reach the point where it can go to the moon and Mars.
If it is said that the belongings accumulated by Yan Shao can still make China corrupt on the earth. Then when they go to the sea of stars, this little thing may be useless, because at that time, it will be something else that can determine the fate and even the strength of a country...
At that point, it will be up to the successor to see what his successor is capable of...
The era of the sea of stars is not the era dominated by these resources that are estimated to be about to be consumed on the earth.
Of course, it seems a little too far to talk about this now, after all, the human beings have only just stepped on the clouds, and as for the space above the clouds, and the deeper and farther space, it will take more time...
It is estimated that by that time, Yan Shao has already entered the ground earlyββββββ should be, right? (To be continued......)
