Chapter 285 The Spring of the Shit Stick
Yang Feng’s goal is very simple, which is to provoke European and American relations as much as possible, create conflicts between them, and at the same time strengthen European armed forces so that they can be qualified to say no to the United States.
And a very good opportunity will soon be before him, that is the last brick and stone that collapsed in the old world in the Suez Canal War. When Britain and France, which had already won, had to leave the land they had ruled for more than a hundred years under the diplomatic threat of the Americans and the military suppression of the Soviets, the former world masters completely left the stage of hegemony.
And what Yang Feng needs to do is to let them persevere.
No matter whether they win or lose, they must keep going. Even if they still fail, they must make them fail vigorously. Only in this way can they maximize their anger towards the Americans, especially those who are not honest like Gaul, and what he needs to do is also very simple...
"Friends, are you interested in going to North Africa to find oil together?"
Yang Feng held the wine glass and told the managers of the Ming Dynasty, who invited Sun and Scallops, to come. In addition, there was the manager of Aquitaine in Gaul, a state-owned oil group in Gaul, which was later Total.
"Why did the Head of State remember that North Africa is coming?"
Richard, the manager of BP in the Ming Dynasty, said with a smile.
“Is there oil there now?”
Yang Feng asked curiously.
"A oil field was discovered in Algeria not long ago, but it was not large. Moreover, because of its remote location and some other things, it was not really developed."
Aquitaine's manager Pierre said.
As for what other things are, it goes without saying, the Algerians have never stopped fighting for freedom.
"First of all, according to my geologist's analysis, North Africa has definitely oil, and there must be large oil fields. Real large oil fields, with annual output of tens of millions of tons. I believe everyone knows the level of my geologists. They predicted that there is oil in Assam, but I found the oil fields in Assam. They predicted that there is oil at the offshore of West Java, and I also found the oil fields there. And this time, they predicted several places in North Africa for me, and I believe that their predictions would not be wrong.
Although it is far away from me, I still want to seize such an opportunity. You also know that I urgently need oil now. But I am not the only one who needs oil in urgent need, so I have to find an oil field for the European people at their doorstep so that the European people will not go to Asia to grab oil from me. What I hope most is that all oil east of the Suez Canal can be transported to me."
Yang Feng said in a joking tone.
"So, Master, do you want to?"
Richard asked tentatively.
"It's very simple. The four of us cooperated, each with 25% stake, and then formed an oil company to go to Libya, Algeria, Egypt and other places in North Africa to find oil, and then supply them all to Europe after finding it, so that we can save Asia and belong to me."
Yang Feng said.
“This suggestion is good.”
Said Hack, the scallop manager.
They are not willing to work hard to transport crude oil to Europe, but they have no choice. In order to ensure European demand, they must transport crude oil from thousands of miles away. If they can find large oil fields that are needed in North Africa, so that Asian crude oil can be sold nearby to Yang Feng. Anyway, the price of this thing is the same. Selling to Yang Feng and selling to Europe is the same for them, especially for scallops. Transporting oil from North Borneo to Shuntian hundreds of kilometers away and to London tens of thousands of kilometers away, it is obvious that they are more willing to do the former.
"Everyone, try it. What's the point? Anyway, the four of us jointly invested, and we can't spend much money at all. Even if we can't find it, we can't lose a few. But if we find it, we will be lucky."
Yang Feng said.
Indeed, it's no big deal to try it.
What's more, Yang Feng has indeed achieved remarkable results in finding oil over the years. Whether he is the largest shareholder, Far East Petroleum, or Imperial Petroleum, which he owns, has become one of the major oil suppliers in Southeast Asia in just a few years. The total annual crude oil output of the two companies has even exceeded 20 million tons. Since he is going to North Africa to find oil, he is probably really successful.
Of course, the purpose of his cooperation is also very obvious. It is the backyard of Europe and the territory of Britain and Gaul. If he wants to go to find oil in the past, it is impossible for him to leave the two countries alone. After finding oil, he will not be able to produce it without the protection of the two countries. Without the analysis results of his geologists, it will be difficult for Britain and France to find oil in the short term. In this way, cooperation between the two sides is the best choice.
"His Excellency, this proposal is indeed worth our in-depth study."
Richard and the other two looked at each other and said with a smile.
That's all. Go to Libya, Algeria, and Egypt with them. In the next five years, turn all the three countries into important oil-producing countries. This will not only significantly lower oil prices and promote the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, but also intensify the competition between Europe, America and the Soviet Union in North Africa. Then there will be a constant outbreak during the Suez Canal War. As for whom it will be destined to die, it depends on their ability. Anyway, Head Yang is just a small investment.
Among these three countries, Libya's first large oil field was built in 1959, and was built by the New Jersey standard. By 1961, Libya was so poor that it made people cry. There were only two things that could be exported, one was the fine-stemmed stitches that made the printing paper, and the other was the wreckage of tanks and military vehicles that were broken on their land during the war. Even King Idris I of Libya had difficulty spending more than five dollars in his pocket, and he didn't want to do it at one time. At this time, he looked down on him when he went to find oil.
As for Algeria, oil has a long history, but it was discovered in 1949. The most important oil field in Hassimaisaud oil field was discovered in 1950s and 1950s. However, the most important thing in this country is not oil, but natural gas. Hassimaimai gas field is an important source of natural gas supply in Europe.
Natural gas is Yang Feng's next important development direction. First of all, whether it is Brunei or Sumatra, they are important natural gas producing areas in the world. He has this thing. Although Brunei is scalloped, Sumatra's oil rental land is his. Chevron's oil rental land expires this year, which means that except for the ones they have explored before, the exploration of all other plots must be re-tendered by the Java government. As for the bidding results, it needs to be said that it must be Imperial Oil, and Sumatra's natural gas is mainly in North Sumatra.
Next he can develop.
Another important thing is that he can build LNG ships. The shipbuilding industry is the pillar of the future of the Ming Dynasty. LNG ships are also the pillars of the pillars. Of course, there are large oil tankers, container ships and so on.
In this way, he could turn Algeria into an energy center in Europe in a short period of time. As for how the Gauls deal with their relationship with this country, Yang Feng was no longer interested in it, just make it a powder keg for interests.
As for Egypt, there is no need to greet this country. One Suez Canal alone is enough for a war, so it is kept as a backup.
Just as Yang Feng kept digging holes for the future of the Americans, MacArthur finally calmed down Sapporo's movement.
In fact, he didn't do much, just reorganized the First Marine Division, which had just been withdrawn to Japan, temporarily formed a combat group, and then transported it to Tomakomai to land in sea, and sent bombs to Sapporo. Originally, he controlled Sapporo and formed an uprising army of the free Japanese government, he immediately withdrew from the city and fled into the mountains. However, before they left, they had already expanded their team to nearly a thousand people, and because of some measures to fight against local tyrants, they were very popular among the poor.
In short, when the First Land War Division reached Chitose, their enemies had all disappeared, leaving only the bodies of the US military at the Thousand Sea Base that were exposed to the corpses of the corpses that were almost stinking for many days, especially the female soldiers, which made the young men of the First Land War Division almost crazy. They then went to Sapporo to launch a bloody search. All those who had close ties with the rebel army had previously participated in the rebel army, and those who were involved in the rebel army would all be taken out to shoot the target, and those who should be thrown into the prison were thrown into prison. In short, they had a lot of trouble in this city.
It also made the city's hatred for them deeper, but the subsequent battle had nothing to do with them.
MacArthur also knew that he had no time to get involved with these guerrillas. At this time, the Eighth Army was still fighting with the volunteers in Pyongyang and Datongjiang. Moreover, the volunteers on the Eastern Front also began to move south. Yuanshan was in a hurry, so he had no time to control Hokkaido. With the acquiescence of the US government, the Japanese government established a special police force, recruited a brigade veteran, and then sent it to Sapporo to replace the First Marine Division, which was responsible for dealing with the guerrillas.
This move immediately aroused protests from the Soviet government, believing that the US military was re-arming Japan. Of course, Truman was too lazy to deal with their protests, and the debts of stealing our four fighter jets have not been settled with you yet!
