"Oil? You mean oil?"

"yes!"

"The news is true?"

"Students don't know, but students think it's worth a gamble. After all, Qin Wei has no reason to deceive us."

"...I understand. You go out first, I have to think about this..."

...

Dai Li left the office, leaving Chiang Kai-shek alone, touching his bald head, and was in a daze.

oil!

It's oil!

Chiang Kai-shek's spirit that had not yet recovered from the treasure of the shipwreck was shocked by the news that Qin Wei threw out again... Of course, this was not because he, as the chairman, had no future, the key was oil! As the country's supreme leader, he knew very well about the current situation of the War of Resistance. China and Japan had actually fallen into the quagmire of war. Although China has been failing, due to its huge strategic depth and relatively resolute resistance, the Japanese have basically dragged them to the limit... Japan is a country with no resources. According to the inferences of Jiang Baili and others, even if the Japanese relied on a surprise attack this time and cut off their national government's connection with the outside world, they could no longer organize forces to launch a new round of attacks on Chongqing. In other words, the War of Resistance will soon enter the second stage and the stalemate stage.

This stage is very important.

For their National Government, this stage of war is not fierce, will be an important opportunity to accumulate strength again and plan a future counterattack. For the Japanese, this is another important period of time to consolidate the captured areas. If the Japanese can consolidate the occupied areas, then the other side will have the opportunity to conquer Chongqing and then occupy the remaining Kuomintang-controlled areas, thereby gradually destroying China. But if they cannot consolidate the occupied areas, then they will not be able to obtain the required materials from the occupied areas, and they must consume a large amount of local manpower and material resources. This will be an extremely huge burden for Japan, which is already under the pressure of war... Almost all the raw materials and raw materials needed by the Japanese need to be imported. If they cannot bear the pressure of war, then they can only use the same trick again and grab it. But in addition to

In addition to the country, who else can Japan rob? Either go north to grab the Soviet Union or south to grab Britain and the United States, there are only these two routes. The northern Soviet Union is vast and has rich resources, which can meet almost all of Japan's needs, but the Soviet Union, located in a cold north, is not so easy to deal with. Especially most importantly, the Japanese army has exhausted its strength and it is difficult to use extra troops to attack the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Soviet Union itself is a powerful country, and its military strength will only be above Japan, not below Japan. Provoking a polar bear like this may cause itself to fall into a more terrifying war vortex. Then go south to grab Britain and the United States? The South Ocean also has a lot of resources. The most important thing is that it can allow the Japanese Navy, which has not contributed much to the war, to play its greatest role...

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the National Government, nor does it have anything to do with him. Regardless of whether the Japanese went north or south, they only have benefits but no harm. The only question to note is when the Japanese will act. As long as the Japanese take action and fall into a deeper quagmire of war, the weaker the power in China will be, and in that way, the National Government can begin to arrange counterattacks. Oil, for Japan, which has always been in short supply, can obviously be an important reason to activate its further action.

...

"The Chairman said it is right. Oil is an important strategic resource. The Japanese need all cars, planes, steamers and ships. But their territory is small and they do not produce such things at all. Oil is different from steel and things like it. If they are used up, it will be over and it is impossible to recycle it. Therefore, once the Japanese learn that we have news about the oil field, they will definitely be extremely anxious."

Although it has not been confirmed whether the news of Qin Wei is correct, it does not prevent Chiang Kai-shek from discussing with people. Minister of Defense He Yingqin was the first to be notified. Like Chiang Kai-shek, he couldn't sit still after learning that someone in China knew where to produce oil and even planned to take advantage of it. Of course, this does not mean that he has no future. According to normal ranking, his position in the military is second only to Chiang Kai-shek, and he is a very top figure. But the problem is that it is oil! China is a "poor oil-poor" country! It's a war again, and he is watching his troops being Japanese

My army, which claims to be "mechanized", is bullied to death, so how can he not be anxious? Moreover, oil is a global resource. Even if it cannot be obtained in the end, it will definitely be exchanged for many things that cannot be obtained or are extremely lacking, such as heavy artillery, chariots, etc. As for guns and ammunition, it is even more relaxed. However, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that after the matter is promoted, it will hit the enemy's morale extremely heavily and boost your own morale. You must know that the Japanese demand for resources is greater than that of them.

"Oil is of course a good thing. But is this news true or not?" Bai Chongxi was called back from the front line. During this period of time, he, the "little Zhuge", was so frustrated that he was depressed. His military command made few mistakes, but his troops could not meet his requirements at all. He could not hold on with the Japanese army, and he made his plan become waste paper. But he could not easily deal with the military chief officials. Because most of the sluts were Lao Chiang, he was not. Now the situation is finally better. The Military Control Commission also provided information on the next action of the Japanese army. He was planning to fight to save face, but Lao Chiang suddenly called him back... How many things would it take to delay this time? If it were not for the issue of oil, he might have given up his face to Lao Chiang and left.

"It should be true."

"What does 'should' be true? Has this news not been confirmed yet?" Bai Chongxi asked back.

"The oil field is far away in North Africa, how do you confirm it?" Lao Jiang also asked back.

"It is precisely because in North Africa that we should confirm and then take action. That's a foreign country!"

"So what about being a foreign country? I have asked. As long as we obtain the exploration rights and are the first to survey oil, there is ours." Old Jiang snorted coldly. How could he not know Bai Chongxi's thoughts? He has always admired this little Zhuge very much and has won over from many sources. Unfortunately, this guy doesn't know what happened. He only recognizes Li Zongren, which makes him hate him several times. But Bai Chongxi is a rare military strategist in China today. He has more battlefield experience than Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Jie who focus more on theoretical research. He is really reluctant to let it go. Fortunately, Bai Chongxi can be used by him when necessary, so no matter how this guy feels about him, he can only pinch his nose and recognize him.

"On the surface, it's ours, but in the private sector? If those foreigners use a few secret tricks, it's a problem whether you can pick a drop of oil." Bai Chongxi was still facing each other.

"That's why I have to sell it to the French. After all, it's a French colony." He Yingqin saw that the smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, and although he wanted to continue watching the excitement, he thought about it and inserted it. It was boring to make such a meeting, and no more people watched it.

"It's not the French, it's a colony of the Italians." Chiang Kai-shek corrected.

"That's even more wrong. Since it's Italy's territory, why sell it to France? Is there no shortage of oil fields in Italy?" Bai Chongxi consciously caught the problem and asked with a sneer.

"Because France has a lot of power in Asia, but Italians don't." Chiang Kai-shek gave Bai Chongxi a blank look. He knew that Bai Chongxi would ask this when he heard his words... In fact, he asked this too. But after revealing that he wanted to explore oil in Libya, Qin Wei had already told Dai Li a lot about his plans and Gu Changjun. Dai Li also told him in a complete manner: Italy is too far away, and although there is no need to offend, there is no need to please. But the French are different. Although it is no longer the same as before.

But there are still a considerable number of colonies in Southeast Asia. Not to mention other things, most of the current national-controlled areas cannot be self-sufficient in food except Sichuan. However, France controls Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and has a strong influence on Siam. These areas are all granaries. Therefore, the National Government can use this transaction to obtain local food subsidies for itself... Before the army moves, food and grass will take the lead. This is obviously of great significance to stabilizing the entire army and even the entire national-controlled areas.

"Hmph, I don't know where I heard these few words, so I show it to me." Bai Chongxi listened to the relevant explanations in Chiang Kai-shek's contemptuous gaze, and felt so fucked. He didn't believe that Chiang Kai-shek had such a vision... He didn't know what this bald man is? It would be great if his vision could cover most of China, and he still wanted to seep abroad? He, Mr. Bai, had never learned it.

"Commissioner, where did this news come from?" He Yingqin was also a little curious about Chiang Kai-shek's sudden consideration of what happened outside China's borders. After decades of knowing each other, this guy has never taken the initiative to consider foreign countries. Even if he considers it, he will only consider the influence of Britain, the United States and other countries on China. Others? Does he have that brain? Of course, this contempt cannot be superficial like Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren are in the same clan and do not care about the official positions given by Chiang Kai-shek, but he is from Chiang Kai-shek. Although he has always wanted to replace it, he is always powerless, and Chiang Kai-shek has been promoting newcomers to share his power... If the other party knows that he secretly looks down on others, he may be completely undermined.

"It was obtained by the Military Control Commission." Lao Jiang replied.

"It's Dai Li again?" Bai Chongxi frowned slightly. He remembered the "Flying Thunder Cannon" some time ago. Although he looked down on the simple things made by the local method, he must admit that that thing is indeed of great help to the front-line battle. However, he has been staying on the front line to command the battle, so he is not clear about Dai Li's fact of robbing people and thinking that it was something made by the Military Commission.

"Yes." Old Jiang nodded. He didn't intend to tell Bai Chongxi about Qin Wei. This was basically an open secret in the top management. He thought Bai Chongxi had already known it.

"Yunnong is worthy of being a good student of the commission." He Yingqin smiled.

"I don't know whether the news is true or not, I won't express my opinion." Bai Suxi snorted coldly.

"I believe that Yunong will confirm it soon, but..." He Yingqin paused and glanced at Lao Jiang: "Commissioner, who is the one who is presiding over such a major matter now?"

"...Fu Sinian and his group of people." Old Jiang touched his bald head and replied.

"Fu Sinian?" He Yingqin was stunned. "How can he be a political stakeholder, so how can he be responsible for such a big thing? This should be done by the government!"
