PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "A Rain of Smoke and Rain 1997" and the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "nqm" again, and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^

The reason is very simple, with the astonishing amount of purchases expected by Hu Weidong, if the mustache really agrees, then the German military production will inevitably be seriously affected in the next year or two, and the jishu obtained through cooperative research and even exchange will not have time to become a weapons and equipment unit, and as a result, nine times out of ten it will lose the European war and lose Germany's future as soon as possible. However, for China, which has a weak industrial base and hopes to seize the time to grab enough dividends from World War II, just getting jishu cannot be immediately transformed into industrial capacity, and it has to be digested slowly, which is also far from quenching the thirst of the near, and by the time China digests these technologies, these jishu are estimated to have already lagged behind the advanced level of shijie to varying degrees

Hu Weidong also realized that if the Red Party wants to carry out deeper military cooperation with Germany, it is useless to just provide things that cannot make Germany benefit immediately, such as those that are ahead of the times, and it must also pay a large amount of hard currency, so that Germany can at least pay the huge foreign debt it owes, at least part of the interest, and will not be forced to start a war early, so that the Germans may have the patience to cooperate with the Red Party to develop some new weapons that are still only in the design drawing or even the conceptual stage. and to supply China with a large number of strategically important advanced machines and equipment that would significantly weaken the production capacity of the German military industry for some time

However, this would require at least US$1 billion worth of hard currency (gold, silver, or US dollars and pounds), which is currently not available in China, otherwise it would not be uncommon for the Soviets to take out loans, and only overseas Zhongfu International has this possibility, because the total potential value of Zhongfu International's 30% stake in the Minas oil field alone exceeds US$1.5 billion at the current currency value (Note 1). Anyway, now the US imperialists have no desire for China, and they have always been suspicious of the Red Party because of ideological issues. As a result, Zhongfu International can't buy the most critical equipment and technology even if it has money, so it is better to let Zhongfu International use the surplus money to contribute to the realization of Hu Weidong's Jihua.

However, assets and cash are two different things. Cash and hard currency are two different things, and it is difficult for a large Shijie-level consortium with total assets of more than $10 billion to come up with a billion dollars in cash in a short period of time, even if it has abundant cash flow. Fortunately, Zhongfu International is based in the United States, and if it is in another country, it has to try to exchange the banknotes for the precious metals that Germany needs or the pound and the dollar, which have strong purchasing power in the international market. It's nice to have $300 million worth of hard currency.

In addition, there is actually a small part of the actual reserves of the Minas Oilfield that have not been surveyed at present, and there is still a part of the reserves that can be exploited in the future but cannot be developed at present because of the problems on Jishu, so if the shares of the Minas Oilfield held by Zhongfu International are valued now, it will be at most 1 billion US dollars, and the value of this 1 billion US dollars will take at least 15 years to develop slowly, so if it is a one-time sale in exchange for cash. This opportunity cost must be deducted, and it is good to be able to sell for a price equivalent to one-third of the appraised value, and under normal circumstances, even if Zhongfu International sells as a whole, it can be exchanged for a maximum of 500 million US dollars in cash. In any case, it is not enough for Hu Weidong's Jihua.

However, Hu Weidong still communicated with Mao Zemin, who was far away in the United States, and the latter said that he was willing to try his best, but he needed to have sufficient authority, and the Red Party Central Committee agreed to his request after discussion, and set up the Overseas Bureau of the Chinese Red Party with the post of acting secretary.

Although the current overseas party members of the Red Party are less than 1,000 even if they are counted at home and abroad, with the financial resources of Zhongfu International and the growing appeal of Taizu in the international communist movement, the development potential is unusually large, and the status of the overseas branch in the future can even be compared with the XX bureau in China, and Mao Zemin, as the secretary of the overseas branch, will be at least at the level of a half-step standing committee member at that time

After receiving the authorization, Mao Zemin not only gained the power to control all the overseas assets of the Red Party, but also could develop organizations in Shijie countries with almost no restrictions, except for those stationed in the Soviet Union, he had to obey Mao Zemin's leadership, and his work covered the four major fields of organization, commerce, espionage and diplomacy, and this genius who had made outstanding contributions in economic, intelligence and diplomatic work in history, but unfortunately died early, also became a blockbuster. Not only did it greatly accelerate the process of China's rejuvenation with its irreplaceable outstanding contributions, but it also directly affected the balance of power among the great powers and the course of World War II

Mao Zemin sees the key to Jihua very clearly, no matter how clever the operation is, it must have enough capital as a foundation, so his first step is to try to get as much cash as possible. The most valuable of the existing assets of Zhongfu International is the Minas oil field, since the discovery of this super-large oil field, the current Shijie No. 1 oil giant Rockefeller consortium has been coveting it, on the one hand, it is coveting the huge income of this super oil field itself, on the other hand, it is worried that its position in the international oil market will be shaken, especially compared to the oil fields in the United States, the mining cost of Minas oil field is very low, in case the old Ford intends to retaliate, deliberately lower the price of dumping, The losses of the Rockefeller consortium were huge

In addition, the Minas oil field is not in the United States, and the Rockefeller consortium does not violate those "damn" antitrust laws by buying it, so Rockefeller Jr. is even more determined to win it. Although on the surface, even if it is only the part of the Minas oil field shares held by Zhongfu International, its potential value exceeds the personal assets of Rockefeller Jr., who is currently the richest man in Shijie, but the potential value is only potential value after all

Note 1: There may be more than that, the recoverable reserves of the Minas oilfield exceeded 1 billion tons, that is, 7 billion barrels, and the average oil price in the international market at that time had been fluctuating between 1-2 US dollars per barrel, and the crude oil produced by the Minas oilfield was the highest quality in Shijie, and it was reasonable to enjoy a premium, while its extraction cost in the Shijie range was only slightly higher than that of the Middle East oil fields that have not been discovered at present, which further increased the profit margin. In addition, due to the early rise of the petrochemical industry, international oil prices are higher than they have historically been, which will undoubtedly further increase the valuation of the Minas oil field (to be continued). )
