Chapter 341: World War II Starts Good Business (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Miscellaneous !! )

It was not all bad news, when Chen Feng was instructing the workers to produce new fighters at the secret base in Baotou, the Soviet side finally came with the good news that Chen Feng had been waiting for a long time, and after many arguments by Chinese and Soviet experts, it was concluded that there were indeed large oil fields in the Tyumen region, and the Soviet Union had already shipped a large number of drilling equipment to try to drill a few holes.

Less than three hours after Chen Feng returned to Guisui, Li Siguang sent another telegram saying that three of the seven wellboreholes drilled had produced oil, and that these three were not only of good oil quality, but also had very rich reserves, so the Soviet government planned to build a small city there specifically for the production of oil.

This is undoubtedly good news for Chen Feng, maybe in a few months he will be able to use the oil produced in the Tyumen oil field, and he will no longer need to worry about oil in the future.

After more than a year of storage, the Eighth Theater has now accumulated more than 200,000 tons of aviation fuel and 300,000 tons of other fuel in its oil depots, but this is still far from meeting the needs of the Eighth Theater; according to Chen Feng's plan for expanding the army, in the near future, the Eighth Theater's daily fuel consumption will reach several thousand tons, and it is necessary to know that the B47 strategic bomber alone needs to refuel several tons at a time, and several hundred thousand tons of fuel will only be consumed for three or four months.

The most important thing for Chen Feng now is to transport oil from the Soviet Union to China as soon as possible before the mustache Hitler and the bearded Stalin are killed, and if they want to transport them by road and rail at the same time, if they can't do it, they will produce Hercules transport planes in large quantities, or directly use B47 strategic bombers as fuel tankers, at least he will store oil for at least one year. Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, there was no shortage of oil in the Eighth Theater.

But as soon as Germany launched an attack on the USSR. After the fall of all the heavy industrial bases in Eastern Europe, Chen Feng did not guarantee that the Soviet Union would continue to provide him with oil, because the Soviet Union might not even have enough for itself at that time. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, Chen Feng could not exploit the oil fields already around his jurisdiction, so that period was likely to be the most tense period for oil in the Eighth War Zone.

As long as he survived until the outbreak of the Pacific War, Chen Feng would no longer worry about the problem of oil, because at that time, whether it was the Erlian Basin or the oil fields in Urad Houqi, they could be exploited blatantly, without worrying about attracting the covetousness of the Japanese. What's more, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo area, which is not far from Saibei Province, is also a big oil barrel, and as long as the equipment can keep up, Chen Feng is still worried about what oil.

For the Poles, September 1, 1939. It is an eternal pain in their hearts. Because on this very day, the powerful neighbor Germany brazenly attacked them.

On the night of August 31, 1939, a German SS unit dressed in Polish uniforms, posing as Polish troops, attacked the Grewitz radio station on the German border, insulting Germany in Polish. And left several corpses in Polish military uniforms. Then. Radio stations throughout Germany broadcast the news that "Germany had been attacked by Poland suddenly."

Less than 5 hours passed. That is, at 4:45 a.m. on September 1, hundreds of German "Heinkel"-111 heavy bombers, under the cover of "Messerschmitt"-110 fighters. Large-scale attacks were carried out on major Polish airfields, naval bases, as well as on targets such as Warsaw. The air raid was quite successful, destroying part of the aircraft of the Polish Air Force and seriously damaging the airstrip and aircraft factories.

About an hour later, the German ground forces launched an offensive on all fronts from the north, west and southwest. At the same time, the German battleship "Holstein", which was anchored outside the port of Danzig under the guise of a friendly visit, also suddenly opened fire on the Polish military base. The Polish army was caught off guard, 500 first-line planes were blown up at the airfield before they could take off, countless artillery, automobiles and other baggage were destroyed before they could retreat, transportation hubs and command centers were destroyed, and the troops fell into chaos. Taking advantage of the situation, the Germans took advantage of the situation and quickly broke through the Polish lines from several major positions, led by armored and motorized units.

For the whole day of September 1, the countries of the world did not react to the surprise attack of Germany, and only the Polish troops on the German-Polish border were aware of the German intentions.

On September 2, all the major powers in the world reported the news of Germany's invasion of Poland one after another, and for a time Britain, France and other countries were in an uproar, and Germany launched such a large-scale war quietly, which made their faces look good on the faces of the two great powers, and now not only the Poles are panicking, but Britain and France are also anxious.

When the Polish ambassador to the United Kingdom quickly called the British government, he reported that Poland had been attacked by airstrikes. The King of England then travelled to Downing Street to visit Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and decided to go to war against the leaders of Nazi rule. In fact, at this time, Britain had no enthusiasm for participating in the war, and they had not yet recovered from the cruelty of the First World War. At the same time, the British remember a year ago when their Prime Minister said to all the British people: "It seems to me that the successful settlement of the Czechoslovak question is only a prelude to the search for peace in Europe." This morning, I also spoke with German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and this is the document that we co-signed. "But a year later, Prime Minister Chamberlain's dream of keeping the peace during his term was shattered.

What's more, Britain and Poland were a military alliance at this time, and their Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain promised to give Poland unconditional military assistance in the event of an attack by Germany! Therefore, whether the British wanted it or not, they had to go to war.

At 9 a.m. on 3 September, Britain issued an ultimatum to Germany, demanding that Germany provide an armistice guarantee by 11 a.m., otherwise Britain would declare war on Germany. At noon, France issued a similar ultimatum to Germany, which was set at 5 p.m., but Hitler ignored the ultimatum of Britain and France. As a result, Britain and France officially declared war on Germany, and the Second World War broke out.

When the news reached China, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. World War II finally broke out, and yes, finally the word must have been used correctly. Although World War II was a disaster for the entire human race, the outbreak of World War II was a blessing for China, which was in the midst of a frantic and brutal invasion by the Japanese army. If the world war had not broken out, Britain, France and other countries would not have stayed on China for a minute, and they would still shamelessly implement appeasement in connivance with Japan and disdain the suffering Chinese. It can be said that before the outbreak of World War II, China was a country fighting against the fascist forces, but after the outbreak of World War II, China had allies.

Secondly, Britain, France, Netherlands, and other countries had no time to look eastward, which gave Japan the opportunity, and it was precisely because of this bottomless temptation that Japan, which was concentrating on attacking China, gradually divided its troops southward, and then walked step by step towards the abyss of destruction. If World War II had not broken out, with the strong strength of Britain, France, and other Western powers, Japan would not have been crazy enough to invade the whole of Southeast Asia, and if it was calculated, when all five or six million Japanese troops poured into the Chinese battlefield, the consequences would really be unimaginable. Therefore, Germany blitzed Poland, and Britain and France declared war on Germany, which was indeed a boon for the whole of China.

At the same time, World War II broke out, so wouldn't Chen Feng's opportunity to make a lot of money come. No, war has just been declared over there, and Chen Feng has received many telegrams in a row, although these telegrams are not sent by the same country, but the content is the same, that is, to buy a large amount of penicillin.

Hehe, I know the importance of penicillin, since the wronged boss sent to the door, how can Chen Feng let it go, whether it is Germany, Britain and France, but we have to discuss the price, before penicillin was only a civilian drug, once the war started, this is the most important strategic material. Moreover, the production of penicillin is originally "not high", so of course this price has to be mentioned!

Do you have an opinion? Well, then you don't want to buy it, anyway, your old opponent has already had an opinion on his share too little, and presumably he won't mind eating your share.

Soon, on the basis of the price increase of nearly half, the order volume of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries suddenly increased by more than ten times. Even the two big players in the United States and the Soviet Union once again asked Chen Feng to increase the amount of penicillin drugs.

Chen Feng did not refuse to come, as long as you have money, we will have medicine, Chen Feng received orders of more than 9 billion US dollars in just a few days, and Chen Feng has also discussed with other countries, and will maintain such a supply in the future. Anyway, the annual output of 20,000 tons of penicillin drugs in the base is enough to meet the needs of these countries, and in the past year, Chen Feng has accumulated more than 10,000 tons, and one ton of penicillin can produce about 20 tons of liquid and solid capsules and other drugs, worth as much as 20 million US dollars, and 10,000 tons worth 200 billion.

Coupled with the annual output of 20,000 tons this year, the total value is as high as 600 billion US dollars, and even the United States, the number one economic power at this time, has a fiscal income of only 120 billion US dollars a year, so Chen Feng is really not worried that his output is not enough, he is only worried that the warring sides have no money to buy. Even if it is an order of 9 billion a month, it is only more than 100 billion a year, which is too far from the output of 600 billion.

Even with the huge consumption of 3,000 tons a year in the Eighth War Zone, there is still a huge surplus in production. However, Chen Feng knows that the war has just broken out, and the big guy still doesn't know how long the war will last, when World War II really starts out, the consumption of penicillin, a life-saving drug, will surge, and the annual output of 20,000 tons may not be enough, after all, World War II has swept more than 3 billion people in dozens of countries, and the total strength of the warring sides is as high as tens of millions.

In addition to penicillin, streptomycin and some weapons and equipment also entered the sight of Britain, France and other countries. (To be continued......)
