Chapter 333: The Meeting of the Oil Capitalists
As a country dominated by capital, the United States may not be so responsive to changes in the world. However, a small change in the gains and losses of one's own interests will make the American capitalists unusually sensitive and swift.
When the Middle East, the world's main oil-producing region, has been occupied by insects, the United States, which has a large amount of crude oil reserves and is also a stable overseas market, has become the world's largest oil-producing region.
The countries and regions in the world that need to import a large amount of crude oil are usually on the front line of the battle against insects and beasts, so the demand for crude oil as a strategic resource is large and urgent.
For these reasons, the United States, which is the world's largest producer of crude oil, has done a lot of things to make itself rich in crude oil trading and exports, making other countries in urgent need of crude oil gnash their teeth.
The large amount of money accumulated from the export of oil, and then the leveraged operation of the capital, gave these capitalists of the American oil companies the right to speak in the decision-making of the American state.
And now, these capitalists from the oil companies are all sitting together to study the recent shrinkage of capital in their accounts.
"Gentlemen, I won't talk nonsense, let's go straight to the topic on which we have gathered today."
A conference room that only belongs to the American oil tycoons is qualified to enter, and after seeing that everyone is here, the person presiding over the meeting directly turned on the projection screen behind him.
As the projector lit up, a string of aggregated oil transactions appeared on the screen behind the moderator.
"Everyone, please see, this is our oil export number for this year." He pointed to the number table on the screen with a laser pointer. The lean moderator spoke. "As the weather in the Northern Hemisphere gradually warms up and enters summer. Countries that need to fight against insects and beasts have seen a significant increase in oil imports as in previous years. Those of you who are here are no strangers to the summer oil export boom. ”
After seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, the presiding officer of the meeting will operate the projector slightly, and in an instant, another similar statistical table will appear on the screen behind him.
"So if you look at last year's oil export statistics, as the year enters the summer, our oil exports have not increased exponentially as in previous years, but have shrunk in a very big stride." The presiding officer of the meeting pointed to the month when the number of crude oil began to decline, and said in a stern tone. "Our numbers are all derived from the aggregation of all the oil transactions in the world. Under the lovely dollar settlement. No one has been able to bypass our oil count monitoring. So where did all these disappearing oil demand gaps, which ultimately affect the income of everyone here, go?! ”
Seeing that this issue concerning their own personal interests and power was finally thrown out, all the oil tycoons present showed solemn eyes, waiting for the words of the presiding officer of the meeting.
"With the help of the CIA, we got a list of countries whose oil imports began to plummet from here: China!" As the table changed, the number of China's oil imports, which can almost be described as diving, can only be described as shocking to the oil tycoons present.
What exactly happened to China at this time?
"I'm sure everyone here must be wondering what happened to China at this time." As soon as the number of information behind the host was changed again, there was a series of heavy events in China at this time.
For example, the formation of the Mechanized Witch Unit, which once made the US Navy tremble. For example, the Guangxi Reconquest War, which gave hope to all countries that resisted the insects and beasts in despair, and the establishment of the Sichuan Heavy Industry Zone in China, which made everyone talk about it
Could it be said. Is it because of the formation of the Mechanized Witch Force, which played an important role in these strategic operations, that affects our oil exports?
Such a series of big operations should consume a lot of fuel and materials, you take these numbers out to explain, are you an idiot when we are?!
"That's right, I'm sure everyone knows that these strategic operations require a lot of fuel and supplies as logistics to achieve." Facing the questioning gaze of the big guy in front of him who could raise his hand to twist himself, the host opened the next number table and began to explain. "China's own crude oil is simply not enough to meet their domestic consumption. And China's strategic fuel reserves are unlikely to keep China on until a year from now, and its demand for oil is sluggish. ”
"In other words, there must have been some serious change in China that has freed the Chinese from the demand for oil." With the movement of the moderator's finger, an image observed by a satellite is clearly displayed on the screen in the conference room. "And this is the superficial reason why China has gotten rid of the demand for oil imports."
The screen in the conference room shows an air collection station built in the heavy industrial base of northeastern China, and a series of ancillary industrial processing plants behind it.
Marked with a red line on the screen is a processing plant that converts carbon dioxide separated from the air into usable fuel.
"The amount of fuel processed and synthesized by these plants last year perfectly filled the gap between China's fuel demand and the amount of fuel produced by itself, so that China's demand for external oil imports was wireless and zero." Regarding the question of the oil tycoon in front of him, the host said eloquently.
"Wait, you're just saying that this is the superficial reason why China's demand for oil is infinitely zero, but what is the real reason?" Suddenly remembering what the host had said earlier, an oil capitalist suddenly asked.
"The technology used by the Chinese in these factories, in fact, we have long had similar technologies in the real yàn room in the United States, because these transformations require a lot of energy, and often the capital invested is even higher than the value of the fuel output, so these technologies we only let them stay in the real yàn room stage, without a lot of practical application."
Of course, what the moderator has not yet said is that "you will never allow such a technology to appear on the market, so that the position of oil capitalists will be threatened." ”
"However, when the Chinese have not updated their technology and are using similar technologies to us, they have used these technologies without hesitation, so the underlying reasons are very thought-provoking." When the host said this, he showed a meaningful look. "Although China has a large number of coal resources, but the Chinese do not consume a large amount of coal-fired materials to supply the conversion and synthesis of fuel, so where does the astronomical energy consumed by the Chinese come from?"
"Guys, look at this, this is a picture that our reconnaissance satellite took not long ago near the heavy industry base in Sichuan, China." A picture that suddenly appears and then zooms in shows a witch flying high on the screen in the conference room. "I believe that everyone here understands this figure, this is the mechanized witch army that only China has at present, and the magic trail left by her because of high flight is a good proof of this."
"And then there's this." As the picture moved slightly, the object pursued by Qin Xingao on the screen was fixed in the most central position on the screen. "Compared with the witch not far from Tongguò, experts analyzed that this is a device no more than thirty centimeters in size, and when it flies, it also leaves a large number of magic power release tracks."
"I know that you have information that the squadron has a magic temporary storage device, and according to the intelligence analysis we have obtained from the EU, the Chinese have used this device on their mechanized witch troops, and the accumulation of peacetime in exchange for efficient explosions in wartime is used to strengthen the combat effectiveness of their witch troops." The presiding officer of the meeting unhurriedly changed the surveillance picture, and only said after the last picture taken was placed on the screen. "But gentlemen, don't be in a hurry to doubt, we can look at this again."
On the screen of the conference room, a huge fireball of blue and yellow spread and a mushroom cloud slowly rising, just like this, in the conference room, it can show a piece of information. (To be continued!)
