"Oil? Oil, you say? ”

"Yes!"

"Is the message true?"

"The students don't know what to do, but they think it's worth the gamble. After all, Qin Wei had no reason to deceive us. ”

“…… I got it. You go out first, I have to think about it......"

……

Dai Li left the office, leaving Chiang Kai-shek alone and feeling his bald head there in a daze.

Petroleum!

It's actually oil!

Chiang Kai-shek's spirit, which had not yet recovered from the treasure of the shipwreck, was once again shocked by the news thrown by Qin Wei...... Of course, this is not because he is unproductive as the chairman, the key is oil! As the country's supreme leader, he is well aware of the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War. Both China and Japan are already mired in war. Although China has been defeating all along, it has basically dragged the Japanese to the limit because of its enormous strategic depth and relatively resolute resistance...... Japan is a country with few resources. According to the inference of Jiang Baili and others, even if the Japanese relied on a surprise attack to defeat Guangdong this time and cut off their Nationalist government's contact with the outside world, they would no longer be able to organize forces to launch a new round of attacks on Chongqing. In other words, the War of Resistance will soon enter the second stage, the stage of stalemate.

This stage is important.

For their Nationalist Government, this stage of the war, which is not too intense, will be an important opportunity to rebuild its strength and plan for future counteroffensives. For the Japanese, this was another important period of time to consolidate the areas that had already been conquered. If the Japanese can consolidate the occupied area, then the other side will have the opportunity to conquer Chongqing, and then occupy the remaining national control areas, so as to gradually destroy China. However, if they are unable to consolidate the occupied areas, then they will not be able to obtain the materials they need from the occupied areas, and they will have to consume a lot of local manpower and material resources, which will be an incomparably huge burden for Japan, which is already under the pressure of a huge war...... Almost all the strategic materials and raw materials needed by the Japanese need to be imported, and if they cannot bear the pressure of war, then they will have to repeat the old trick and grab it. But apart from China, who else can Japan rob in East Asia? Either go north to grab the Soviet Union, or go south to grab Britain and the United States, there are only these two roads. The Soviet Union in the north was vast and rich in resources, which could meet almost all of Japan's needs, but the Soviet Union, which was located in the cold land of the north, was not so easy to deal with. Most importantly, the Japanese Army was exhausted and it was difficult to come up with surplus forces to attack the Soviet Union. And the USSR itself was a great power, and its military power would only be above Japan, and not below it. Provoking a polar bear in this way is likely to plunge itself into an even more terrible maeltrom of war. Then go south to grab Britain and the United States? Nanyang also has a lot of resources, and most importantly, it can make the most of the Japanese navy, which has not contributed much to the war......

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the Nationalist Government, nor does he Jiang alone. Regardless of whether the Japanese go north or south, there is only good and no harm to them. The only question to be aware of is when the Japanese will act. As long as the Japanese acted and plunged deeper into the quagmire of war, the weaker their power would be in China, and the Nationalist Government would be able to begin to arrange a counterattack. And oil, for Japan, which has always been short of resources, can obviously be an important reason to prompt further action.

……

"The chairman of the committee is right, oil is an important strategic resource, and the Japanese need all cars, airplanes, and ships. But their territory is small, and they don't produce this kind of thing at all. Unlike things like steel, oil is used up and cannot be recycled. Therefore, once the Japanese learn that we have oil fields, they will definitely be very anxious. ”

Although it has not yet been determined whether Qin Wei's information is correct, this does not prevent Chiang Kai-shek from seeking someone to discuss. Defense Minister He Yingqin was the first to be informed, and like Chiang Kai-shek, he could not sit still after learning that there were people in China who actually knew where oil was produced and even planned to take advantage of it. Of course, this is not to say that he is unproductive, according to the normal ranking, his status in the military circles is second only to Chiang Kai-shek, and he is a top big man. But the problem is that it's oil! China is an "oil-poor" country! Now that he is fighting again, watching his troops being bullied to death by the so-called "mechanized" army of the Japanese, can he not be in a hurry? Moreover, oil is also a global resource, even if it cannot be obtained in the end, it will definitely be exchanged for many things that are not usually available, or extremely lacking, such as heavy artillery, combat vehicles, etc., as for guns and ammunition, it is even more easy drizzle. However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that after the news is announced, it will deal a very heavy blow to the morale of the enemy and boost the morale of your own side. It is important to know that the Japanese have a greater need for resources than they do.

"Oil is certainly a good thing. But is this news true or false? "Bai Zhenxi was called back from the front line. During this period of time, he fought against the Japanese army, and his "little Zhuge " can be said to be aggrieved to death. There were very few mistakes in his military command, but the army under his command could not meet his requirements at all, and he was basically unable to hold on to a strong blow from the Japanese army, so that his good plan was a waste of paper. But he couldn't easily deal with those military commanders. Because most of those bastards are Lao Jiang's people, but he is not. Now that the situation is finally a little better, the military commander has also provided information on the next move of the Japanese army, and he was about to fight a ruthless battle to save face, when Lao Jiang suddenly called him back...... How many hours do you have to delay this back and forth? If it wasn't for the issue of oil that was being discussed, he might have already embarrassed Lao Jiang and left.

"It should be true."

"What does 'should' be true? Hasn't this news been confirmed? Bai Zhengxi asked rhetorically.

"The oil field is far away in North Africa, how can you confirm it?" Lao Jiang also asked rhetorically.

"It is precisely because of North Africa that it is more important to act after confirmation. That's a foreign country! ”

"What about in a foreign country? I've already asked, as long as we get the exploration rights and we are the first to explore for oil, it will be ours. Old Jiang snorted coldly. How could he not know Bai Zhengxi's thoughts. He has always admired this little Zhuge very much, and he has been wooed in many ways, but unfortunately he doesn't know what's going on with this thing, and he only recognizes Li Zongren, which makes him hate it several times. But Bai Zhengxi is a rare military strategist in China today, and he has a lot of battlefield experience compared to Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Jie, who are more focused on theoretical research, and he is really reluctant. But fortunately, Bai Zhenxi can also be used by him when necessary, so no matter what this guy thinks of him, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

"It's ours on the surface, but what about in private? As long as those foreign devils move a few secret hands, whether you can extract a drop of oil is a question. "Bai Zhenxi is still-for-tat.

"That's why it's sold to the French. After all, it's a French colony. He Yingqin saw that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, although he still wanted to continue to watch the excitement, but after thinking about it, he still interjected. It's not fun to quarrel like this, and no more people are watching.

"Not the French, it's a colony of the Italians." Chiang Kai-shek corrected.

"That's even more wrong. Since it is Italian territory, why should it be sold to France? Is there no shortage of oil fields in Italy? Bai Zhenxi consciously grasped the problem and asked with a sneer.

"Because the French have a lot of power in Asia, the Italians don't." Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Bai Zhengxi, and he knew that Bai Zhengxi would ask this question after hearing his words...... Actually, he asked the same thing. But after revealing that he wanted to explore oil in Libya, Qin Wei had already told Dai Li a lot about his and Gu Changjun's plans. Dai Lian also told him in full: Italy is too far away, although there is no need to offend, but there is no need to please. But the French are different. Although it is not as good as before, the people still have a considerable number of colonies in Southeast Asia. Not to mention anything else, most of the current nationalist areas, except for Sichuan, are not self-sufficient in grain. But France controls Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and has a very strong influence on Siam, which is a granary. Therefore, the national government can take advantage of this transaction to obtain local food subsidies for itself...... The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Obviously, this is of great significance to stabilizing the whole army and even the entire national control region.

"Hmph, I don't know where I heard these words, so I showed them to Lao Tzu." Bai Zhenxi listened to the relevant explanation under Chiang Kai-shek's disdainful gaze, and his heart was so tired that he was going to die. He didn't believe that Lao Jiang had this kind of vision...... What is the color of this bald head, and he still doesn't know what to do? It's good to be able to cover most of China, but do you want to infiltrate abroad? He didn't even learn anything.

"Chair, where did this news come from?" He Yingqin was also a little curious about Chiang Kai-shek's sudden ability to think about things beyond China's borders. I have known each other for decades, and this guy has never taken the initiative to think about foreign countries, and even if he does, he will only consider the impact of Britain and the United States and other countries on China's internal affairs, and others? Does he have that brain? Of course, this kind of contempt cannot be superficial like Bai Zhengxi. Bai Zhenxi and Li Zongren are the same faction, and they don't care about the official position given by Lao Jiang, but he is in the same vein as Lao Jiang, although he has always wanted to replace him, but he is always weak, and Lao Jiang has been promoting newcomers to thin his power...... If the other party knows that he secretly looks down on people, maybe he will really be completely hollowed out.

"The military commander got it." Lao Jiang replied.

"Dai Lisa again?" Bai Zhenxi frowned slightly. He remembered the "Flying Thunder Cannon" some time ago. Although he despised the simple goods made by the local method, he had to admit that it was indeed a huge help to the frontline battles. However, he has been staying on the front line to command the battle, so he doesn't know that Dai Li is actually robbing people of credit, and thinks that it is something made by the military commander.

"Yes." Lao Jiang nodded, he didn't plan to tell Bai Zhengxi about Qin Wei, this was basically an open secret at the top level, and he thought that Bai Zhengxi already knew the Tao.

"Yunong deserves to be a good student." He Yingqin said with a smile.

"I don't know if the news is true or not, and I don't express my opinion." Bai Zhenxi snorted coldly.

"I'm sure Yunong will confirm it soon, but ......" He Yingqin paused and glanced at Lao Jiang: "Commission, who is presiding over such a major matter now?" ”

“…… Fu Sinian and a bunch of people. Lao Jiang touched his bald head and replied.

"Fu Sinian?" He Yingqin was stunned, "How can he be in charge of such a big thing as a political officer?" This should be done by the government! ”
