Chapter 297 The U.S. Army's Counteroffensive
However, it is not possible to establish a US military base around the Ming Dynasty. This thing is indispensable for both time, place and people. At least there is no possibility in the short term. Unless Truman wants to turn against Yang Feng directly, it is also impossible. ((?Since that happens, Chevron can only make a little sacrifice, which is considered to be a contribution to the country. At worst, they can give them some compensation in other aspects, otherwise those capitalists will also not agree.
In short, with the efforts of the US government behind the scenes, Chevron still signed a contract with Imperial Oil, selling the Minas Oilfield they were operating and the Duri Oilfield that had not yet been put into production to Imperial Oil for 100 million US dollars. However, this does not include the oil pipelines and port facilities leading to Duri Port. If Imperial Oil wants it, give them an additional 30 million. This money is actually the protection fee they gave to Yang Feng in the early stage. They paid the protection fee, but in the end, the oilfield was stolen by Yang Feng, so the protection fee must be obtained.
Be kind!
Yang Feng didn't bother them much about this matter and paid for it very easily. At this point, Minas Oilfield and Duri Oilfield, the two largest six-shang oilfields in the East Indies, have officially fallen into his hands. At the same time, Chevron was completely expelled from Southeast Asia. Of course, ordinary people will not know the inside story of this kind of thing. They only know that Imperial Oil has done a big business, and the price of oil in the Ming Dynasty's gas station has been lowered.
But to those who know the inside story, this is a real bombshell.
Even the Americans can force them away. Yang Yuanzhi's strength is simply amazing. What kind of company is Chevron? It is a top pyramid of power in the United States and a top tycoon who is qualified to decide the political situation. To be honest, companies of this level all have the energy to destroy the country.
However, in front of Yang Feng, he could only get out of humiliation, which means that in Southeast Asia, he has become the real master.
Of course.? [Yang Feng was not interested in polite the awesome look of the outside world for him. After receiving the oil field, he immediately fulfilled his promise to the Republic of Java, and the original interest became 46. Similarly, the Republic of Java also exempted all taxes from Imperial Oil, including tariffs on exported oil and tariffs on imported oil field materials. This was the same condition in the Chevron era. As for the rest, it was how to clean up the Aceh army there.
In fact, Chevron was waiting to watch Yang Feng lively at this time! Because tens of thousands of Aceh soldiers had already penetrated into the jungle. It was obvious that Imperial Oil would face guerrillas in the future.
However, their hope was lost.
Because Yang Feng directly pulled the wives and children of these defeated soldiers from Aceh, installed a helicopter and set up a loudspeaker to shout everywhere, and those who came out to surrender were pardoned. The family reunited with their wives and children. If they didn't come out, they would wait for death!
In the end, there was nothing to say. All the Aceh soldiers who were defeated into the jungle came out exhausted to disarm the Ming army, and then went with their wives and children to follow the people. Then a large number of oil workers drove into the oil field. Taking over the complete set of facilities left by Chevron, they directly began to pump oil into the oil pipeline and transported them to Dumai Port and loaded them into the oil tanker to Daming.
"It's not easy to watch my excitement."
Yang Feng said lightly.
Although this incident seriously affected his relationship with the Americans, he could not act innocently and cute all his life. It was time to show his fangs, otherwise his subordinates would not agree. With the surge in economic and military strength in recent years and the invincible record, the Ming Dynasty was filled with enthusiasm for external expansion.
Especially the younger generation has grown up. This generation has been instilled in the idea of the noble Chinese since childhood, and instilled in the idea that everyone around them was once the Ming ministers. Basically, the entire Southeast Asia has been regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the hatred of foreigners left by their ancestors has long been dissatisfied with Chevron and other guys. Some radical thoughts are even dissatisfied with Lord Yuan’s overly weak policies towards the outside world. For example, the rhythm of this war is very dissatisfied with the radicals in the military.
So sometimes Yang Yuan had to make some achievements to satisfy the appetite of the young and strong army in the army.
Of course, it also includes the appetites of the Ming capitalists. These guys are not good things, because of the prosperity of the economy, the rush of industry, and the desire for energy and raw materials is increasing day by day. Their most dream is to go out to grab territory, grab oil, grab minerals, and then it is best to snatch a penny in their factories without spending it, turning it into various industrial products for countless US dollars, pounds, etc.
As their spokesperson, Yang Yuan is also under great pressure. He must work hard to satisfy his country's growing appetite.
"Yuan, the counterattack of the Americans has begun."
Hu Hao came to him and said.
Yang Yuan was excited and immediately sat up straight.
These have been four battles. It should be said that the Volunteers did not fight well in this battle, especially the Battle of Dipingli, which is permanently painful. However, the current Volunteers are not in history, and I don’t know what the result will be for this time.
It's very worth looking forward to!
Han River.
Unlike in history, because the war starts was delayed, winter was basically over, especially after the volunteers attacked Seoul, it was already spring. After the Han River thawed, the vast river water blocked the volunteers' heading south. During this period, the two sides actually confronted each other with the Han River as the boundary.
After more than a month of calm, the war here finally rekindled.
The US bombers that covered the sky in the sky kept pouring bombs and solidified oil bombs into the ground. Countless cannons of various calibers on the ground were crazily spraying flames, especially the heavy artillery shells of M4O level, which were densely cut through the sky and created terrifying fire groups on the Volunteer Army positions. On the river were countless rubber boats, full of coalition soldiers rushed to the north shore in the water column of the shell explosion. Even some inland gunboats and amphibious tanks appeared on the river. Large-caliber cannons on the Volunteer Army positions carried out fierce artillery battles.
At this time, the firepower of the volunteer army was no less than that of the US military. The only limitation was the insufficient supply of ammunition, but after more than a month of accumulation, they would not be short of shells at least in the short term.
Until now, the 160 mortars, which are still their heaviest weapon, the 130 cannons provided by the Soviets, the Katyusha rocket launcher, the 107mm rocket launcher provided by Yang Feng, the large-caliber mortar made by Xinhua itself with high-pressure alloy steel pipes, and various light and heavy artillery bombarded the enemy with a density that was no less than that of the US military.
Around these cannons, various caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns pointed to the sky, traced lines of fire weaving fire nets, intercepting coalition fighters in the sky, and even the Volunteer MiG 15 appeared in the sky, fighting desperately with the US military's swords. However, at this time, it was difficult for the MiG 15 to gain an advantage, and he was even a little helpless, because most of the swords participating in the battle had been replaced with Saber F, and these two classic models had become their respective main forces on the battlefield.
While fighting in the air and artillery battles, countless volunteer soldiers were shooting at the enemy on the riverside, on the north bank of the Han River, in machine gun forts, pressing against the solidified oil bombs from the artillery bombs falling above their heads.
So far, there are not many Mosinners in the Volunteer Army. Most of them are sks, and the AK47 is mixed as submachine guns. This automatic rifle with fierce firepower is the most feared weapon for American soldiers on the battlefield. Although its accuracy is not as accurate as Garland and its range is not as good as Garland, in the battle between infantry, the far Garland's shooting is the magic weapon to win.
At this time, Stalin had spared no effort to support Comrade Li. The bombing of Japan and the stolen sword in Hokkaido, these two things actually made him and the United States on the brink of war. The Soviets' pictures of the four Americans were all loaded with atomic bombs and warned each other in Europe. Fortunately, both sides have maintained enough restraint so far, but the whole world has actually been shrouded in the dark clouds of the nuclear war.
In order to hold back the Americans in Goryeo, Stalin basically responded to Comrade Li's request and gave all the arms he could, especially in the weapons of the 6th Army. Many weapons with a small number of Soviet troops had already appeared in the hands of the volunteers at this time, including production lines for manufacturing these weapons, especially the sks that were equipped by Comrade Li as standard equipment. At this time, the construction of factories had even begun.
In addition to the good things given by Yang Feng, the equipment level of the Volunteer Army has actually reached the level of the 1960s, and it is even stronger in some aspects. At this time, the coalition soldiers who were attacking on the Han River must have a deep feeling about this.
"Damn it, are we in the Somme?"
In the rear command of the coalition forces, Li Qiwei looked at the casualties reported on various fronts and couldn't help but smile with a wry smile.
The stall left by his ex is too bad, especially during the period of confrontation across the Han River, the Volunteers built a large number of fortifications from the north bank from Seoul to Liju in the east. When the firepower cannot gain any advantage, it is not easy to break through the Han River defense line, at least it is difficult to do this when the volunteers have sufficient ammunition.
Fortunately, Li Qiwei didn't care much about the casualties, because it was not the US military that forced the Han River, but the Southern Goryeo Army. The US military only provided them with firepower support. Of course, he would not care about the casualties of these guys. This was a restrained feint, and the real breakthrough direction was in another place.
"Let's see General Van Van Villet now."
