- Today's Saudi Arabia is far from being as wealthy as later generations. Although a lot of oil has been discovered in Saudi Arabia, it is far from reaching the level of large-scale exploitation and commercialization. Today's Saudi Arabia is far from being wealthy. .
The income of one million US dollars per year is really a lot of money. What's more, the desert that China rents near the entrance to the Persian Gulf was occupied by Saudi Arabia at a very small cost in the early 1930s. , I didn¡¯t expect that it can now be rented for US$1 million per year.
The current territory of Saudi Arabia is basically the same as the territory of Saudi Arabia in later generations, but there are certain differences. At least, the current Saudi territory reaches the entrance of the Persian Gulf. This land has just been leased to China and is right close to Persia. Bay entrance.
Today, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Navy came in person, and the Saudi royal family sent several important members to personally accompany Liu Dazhu and his party. The purpose of the Saudi royal family is very obvious, which is to get some more US dollars and rent a few more pieces of desert that are worthless in their eyes. Chinese aspect.
Saudi Arabia is a dual monarchy that combines politics and religion and prohibits political party activities. There is no constitution. The Quran and Hadith are the basis for national law enforcement. The king represents the highest power. This time, several important members of the royal family were sent here. It can be seen that Saudi Arabia attaches great importance to it and is eager to lease land to China. aspect.
The leading member of the Saudi royal family is Khalid, the nephew of the current Saudi King Abdul Aziz. Comrade Liu Dazhu, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Navy, personally came to inspect. Khalid and several other members of the royal family came over in a hurry. Yes, show your sincerity.
Liu Dazhu came here to inspect the progress of the project. In addition, Zhang Yunfei also sent a secret message to Liu Dazhu. It would be best if he could win Saudi Arabia's oil exploration rights.
It is not impossible to obtain oil mining rights over a large area of ??Saudi territory. There is already precedent for this. As early as the 1930s, Saudi Arabia leased oil mining rights over a large area to Mobil Oil Company of California in the United States for a period of 66 years.
Therefore, it is entirely possible for China to obtain large-scale oil exploration rights in Saudi Arabia. After inspecting the base construction, Liu Dazhu was ready to have a good talk with the Saudi royal family. This was also specially instructed by Zhang Yunfei.
During the inspection of this base, Liu Dazhu spent two full days and looked at it in detail. Liu Dazhu asked about many detailed issues, while Khalid and others accompanied Liu Dazhu seriously and appeared to be very patient.
Seeing that Khalid and the others were so attentive, Liu Dazhu felt very funny, but he didn't reveal it on his face. Zhang Yunfei had already revealed to Liu Dazhu the fact that Saudi Arabia had a large amount of oil. At first, when he heard that Saudi Arabia had a large amount of oil, Liu Dazhu I was also a little shocked, but I was also secretly happy.
Currently, Saudi Arabia, as well as the entire Tokyo area, have not attracted strong attention from countries around the world. The main attention of several major powers is entirely on the war that has not yet ended.
*****Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
After Liu Dazhu inspected the construction of the base, at the warm invitation of the Saudi King, Liu Dazhu, on behalf of Zhang Yunfei, came to Riyadh with several important personnel.
Saudi Arabia was very enthusiastic, and the King of Saudi Arabia personally welcomed Liu Dazhu. Liu Dazhu stayed in Riyadh for three full days. The specific details are highly confidential. However, China and Saudi Arabia signed a detailed oil mining rights lease agreement.
China has obtained almost half of Saudi Arabia¡¯s 100-year oil exploration rights, and the price China paid was only a few million US dollars per year and some captured Japanese military weapons and equipment.
After the agreement was signed, both parties were very happy. A full 100 years later, China will be able to exploit oil in many areas.
Saudi Arabia¡¯s oil reserves are definitely the largest in the world. However, most of the super-large oil fields have not been discovered yet, which requires China to explore. However, I believe this is not difficult.
In later generations, Saudi Arabia was known as the "Kingdom of Oil" and was one of the countries with the largest oil reserves, production and sales in the world. Proven oil reserves are more than 30 billion tons, and natural gas reserves are more than 3 trillion cubic meters.
Liu Dazhu's trip to Tokyo was very successful. Saudi Arabia is divided into thirteen districts, and the oil mining rights in five districts have been leased to China. These five districts are undoubtedly the five with the largest oil reserves in the entire Saudi Arabia. district.
It¡¯s mid-January.
Liu Dazhu returned to Peking and made a special report to Zhang Yunfei. After listening to the report, Zhang Yunfei was in a good mood and felt that he had not been so happy for a long time.
Zhang Yunfei thought, as a time traveler, although he does not have a golden finger that defies heaven, the memory of future generations is his precious wealth. If he does not know the importance of oil in future generations, and if he does not know that there is a huge amount of oil in the Middle East, then I would never have thought that every yearSpending millions of dollars to obtain oil exploration rights in large areas of barren land in Saudi Arabia.
Most areas in Saudi Arabia are absolutely barren and have very low utilization value. Because of this, few countries have thought of these areas for a long time. Even Saudi Arabia itself believes that the utilization value of these barren lands is very low. , it can rent for several million dollars every year, which is definitely a huge profit.
"However, when super-large oil fields appear here in a few years, what will Saudi Arabia think and what will other countries around the world think? I'm afraid they will all regret it.
After listening to Liu Dazhu¡¯s report, Zhang Yunfei gave special instructions to send delegations to other countries in the Middle East to discuss leasing oil exploration rights with these countries.
It seems that Zhang Yunfei has tasted the sweetness this time and has a bigger appetite. He wants to rent a large area to exploit oil in the Middle East. After all, in the Middle East, in addition to the oil giant Saudi Arabia, many other countries have large oil reserves. .
Such as Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, etc. It is a good time to start attacking these countries. At present, other countries in the world have not paid attention to these countries at all. In addition, these countries are still very poor and backward. I believe it will take a while. With US dollars, it is completely possible to obtain oil exploration rights in large areas of territory.
After Liu Dazhu finished his report, he was highly praised by Zhang Yunfei. Liu Dazhu, who received the praise, left Zhang Yunfei's office happily.
the next day.
Several delegations were formed and set off from the country to the Middle East. They moved very quickly. These delegations will go to various countries in the Middle East to lease the oil exploration rights of these countries.
Among the top leaders in the country, everyone now knows the purpose of Zhang Yunfei's move. In addition to admiring Zhang Yunfei's foresight, everyone also deeply admires Zhang Yunfei.
******* It¡¯s late March. The Chinese Navy¡¯s huge naval base at the entrance to the Persian Gulf has begun to take shape. It can fully accommodate large warships. The airport has basically been completed, and a large number of fighter planes, bombers, etc. have also been completed. Started arriving at the airport.
The garrison of the entire base has increased from more than 10,000 people in the past to more than 30,000 to 40,000 people now, including not only the navy, the air force, but also a large number of the army. The army, navy and air force are all stationed here.
As the construction of this base came to an end, the Chinese [***] team also began its attack on the German army.
North Africa, northern Egypt.
This is the main battlefield in North Africa during World War II. There are not only British and American troops, but also German and Italian troops. The two sides have fought many times on the North African battlefield, but they are evenly matched and no one can do anything to the other.
However, this strategic balance should be broken in the near future, because the Chinese [***] team has reached more than 200 kilometers southeast of Cairo and landed not far from the entrance of the Suez Canal.
At present, the Suez Canal is controlled by the German army. If this were not the case, the Chinese [***] team would definitely pass directly through the Suez Canal and directly enter the Mediterranean Sea.
This time, those who entered the African battlefield were the 1st Army, the elite of the Chinese [***] team. Considering that the enemy was the famous German army, Zhang Yunfei sent Wang Haiyang¡¯s 1st Army out as the Chinese [***] The vanguard of the fleet, under the protection of the Indian Ocean Fleet, landed at the predetermined location.
This is just a small seaport near the Suez Canal, on the edge of the Red Sea. On the Red Sea, a huge fleet is cruising there on guard. This fleet includes two aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, and more than a dozen ships. Destroyers and several frigates.
In addition, there are many supply ships, etc., more than thirty ships of various sizes. These are part of the main warships of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet. The entire Indian Ocean Fleet is equipped with three aircraft carriers. This time, in order to cooperate with the landing of the 1st Group Army , two ships came over at once.
The soldiers of the 1st Group Army are landing in an orderly manner on a large number of large transport ships. A large number of soldiers and a large number of combat preparations have already set foot on the land.
The small seaport is controlled by the British army. The soldiers are relatively safe and there is basically no harassment from the enemy. There are nearly two thousand British troops stationed in this small seaport. Many British soldiers are curiously watching the soldiers land.
To these British troops, the Chinese [***] Corps is full of mystery. A few years ago, it was defeated by the Japanese army. In the past few years, it has not only annihilated the Japanese army, but also invaded the Japanese mainland. It even annihilated nearly two million Japanese troops in Southeast Asia.
What kind of army is this?
Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, stood on the deck of a large transport ship and watched the soldiers land. Wang Haiyan was in high spirits. This time, as the vanguard of the troops, Wang Haiyang set foot on the African battlefield. Naturally, Wang Haiyang knew Zhang Yunfei's intention.
Wang Haiyang thought, the leader must want to get off to a good start. Although fromThere has never been a fight with the German army, but Wang Haiyang believes that he is confident of winning the first battle.
