However, in addition to the excitement, the follow-up analysis results extinguished everyone's joy, because the quality of this oil is so bad, its refining difficulty and cost are very large, so large that only the United States can refine it under the control of costs in the world.

How is it the United States again? It's really speechless.

And most importantly, the U.S. government subsequently banned oil companies such as Mobil, Western, and Sun from selling relevant refining equipment to Daming, unless Daming agreed to three conditions:

First, joint ventures to develop oil fields.

Second, gasoline with an octane rating of >86 shall not be produced from oil produced from this oil field; At the same time, the proportion of gasoline production with an octane number of >73 should not exceed 20%, so as to make more "peaceful and reciprocal" use of natural resources.

Third, it pledged not to reduce its oil imports to the United States for the next two decades.

The Cabinet rejected the first and second articles after discussion and study, but the third was negotiable.

It is not difficult to understand that the Americans are calculating, because fighters need to use high-octane aviation gasoline to play the best performance, and the lowest grade of gasoline stipulated by the Daming Air Force is also No. 87, in addition to No. 91, No. 95, and No. 100.

No. 87 aviation gasoline is only used for training flights, as well as transfer flights, and is not used for combat purposes.

As for No. 100 aviation gasoline, only the United States has the ability to mass-produce it, and Britain, France, Italy, Ming, and Russia all need to import it.

He Cheng's previous remarks made Zhou Changfeng a little worried, and he had to carefully consider the possibility of a head-on conflict between Daming and the United States in the future.

Although they both belong to the rear industrial countries, the rapid development period of the Ming Dynasty is too short, only a few decades, and the United States is twice as long as the Ming Dynasty even if it is only counted from the Civil War; During the European War, when the Ming Dynasty watched the war fortune on the wall, the United States did the same.

Today, the urbanization rate in the United States is close to 60 percent, while the Ming Dynasty estimates that it is only in the 20s. As one of the reference data to measure the level of economic development and the degree of industrialization, the gap between the two sides can be seen from the urbanization rate.

Last year, the GNP of the United States, that is, the gross national product, was as high as 82.1 billion dollars, as a comparison, the German society was 35.6 billion dollars, the United Kingdom was 25.9 billion dollars, the Ming Dynasty was 21.1 billion dollars, the French mainland was 18.4 billion dollars, the Tsarist Russia was 17.8 billion dollars, and Italy was 8.7 billion dollars.

Although the famous Stolypin survived the assassination, the economy of Tsarist Russia has not been prosperous because it inherited too many huge debts owed during the European war; France, on the other hand, is slightly better off economically than it has historically been because it has not been in debt.

In all fairness, fighting against a monster like the United States is really prohibitive, and for Zhou Changfeng, he is more worried that even if Da Ming can achieve a series of tactical victories, it will inevitably fall into strategic decline in the end.

Of course, if you look at it optimistically, with the industrial capacity and resources of the Ming Dynasty, the intensity and scale of the Pacific War will be raised to an unprecedented level, and countless warships on both sides will enter service like dumplings, and then plunge into the vast Pacific Ocean, and finally sink.

After a long tug-of-war, the two sides were forced to choose peace talks.

No one knows the strategic changes in the future, and the current Zhou Changfeng can only be said to be a grain of sand under the torrent of history, and he can't help but feel how helpless it is to be a powerless little person.

And if you want to have the right to speak and even make decisions, strength is indispensable, although he doesn't have that qualification now, it doesn't mean that he can put it on the, at least he feels that he should work hard for a while before being smoothed out by reality.

Otherwise, wouldn't this rebirth crossing be in vain?

The next day, as the hour approached.

Nanjing is still asleep at night, even the lights around the Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple, which are known as "prosperous without day and night", are a little dim, and the young people who are full of energy are somewhat sleepy at this point in time.

On a street in the northwest of the city, Shen Yu was smoking a cigarette and leaning against the hood of a car, and around him, a dozen agents in two vans were jumping out of the car one by one.

"Boss, do it or wait?"

"Don't wait, just now."

Shen Yu and his entourage came to arrest a logistics officer suspected of being bribed, and the factory approved the arrest and issued a driving post.

Some time ago, while MI6 received false information from Liu Wanyun, it also received real information from an informant, that is, reinforcements rushed to Demagi. However, because there was a contradiction between the two, and MI6 did not believe that the Ming army would cross the mountains and mountains, it did not believe it.

According to the investigation conducted by the foreign factory in the past two days, they believe that the reason why the logistics supply from Lingzhi to the front line is always bombed by the British and Indian air forces "just right" to seize the opportunity is because a traitor leaked the information of the convoy.

Just three days ago, a lieutenant colonel in charge of logistics said that he had left the front line due to a sudden illness and had returned to Beijing by plane.

However, according to the investigation, although he went to the army hospital during the day to be hospitalized, his ward was empty, and the factory immediately listed him as a target of high suspicion and planned to bring him back for interrogation.

Witnesses passing by near his residence in the capital claimed to have found him returning home in the middle of the night last night, so the factory decided to act immediately.

This is a baroque-style villa, with light-colored brick walls and double floors, and this French-style villa stands out among the courtyards and courtyards of the nearby circle of Chinese style and summer charm.

With Shen Yu's order, the arrest operation began.

Ambushes were hidden around the villa, and several agents who had "come to visit" had already arrived at the gate.

"Open the door!"

There was a knock on the door, and after a while, it was not until everyone was about to break in that there was an impatient sound from inside.

"Who? What to do on the big night? ”

"Patrol Division's! Someone has been robbed in the neighborhood, let's register. ”

The people inside opened the door as they muttered, but the next second they were knocked to the ground by the agents who suddenly made their moves, and four or five people rushed in one after another.

The sounds of fighting and shouting rang out all at once, one after another.

"Handle the case in the outer factory, arrest Chai Guoyi!"

"Nothing to do with anyone on their knees!"

Half an hour later, Shen Yu finished smoking the second cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and then let people throw it into the garbage can on the street.

By the time he walked into the villa, several agents had already arrived in the corner with four people, holding notebooks and recording confessions at the scene.

A steward, two maids, and a cook, these are the people who remain in this villa.

"What about Chai Guoyi?" Someone asked.

"Sir, he went out at night, probably to a restaurant." The steward replied.

An agent approached and said, "Boss, this grandson has run away, let's ......."

Shen Yu, who was expressionless, waved his hand and ordered: "Call the airport and dock immediately, and suspend all planes and ships that are going to depart!" ”

"But we don't have that ......."

"Then apply and rush over at the same time!"

Someone responded with a fist and immediately ran away.
