    Not to mention that the Anti-League people couldn't figure out what Yang Zhen wanted to do with these things. Even those Americans who didn't think about anything except making money didn't understand, because as early as the 1920s, Americans had already understood the entire Northeast.  After conducting exploration, their geological and petroleum experts had long concluded that there was no oil in the Northeast, so the Americans also thought that Yang Zhen was fooling around.

    Of course, these Americans, as long as they have money to earn, even their ancestors can be dug out of their graves and sold when necessary. As long as they have the money, everything will be fine. They will not worry about whether the equipment you bought back is useful or not.  After buying these equipment and throwing them into the Pacific Ocean, he wouldn't care. As long as they get the money, it's a good thing for them.

    If the central government had not handed over all negotiation matters to Yang Zhen and fully supported him, but Yang Zhen insisted on his own opinion and would rather get these oil extraction and refining equipment than some other equipment.  Everyone else forced their way through out of awe of this young but extremely skillful number one. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known what would happen.

    In Xiong Dazhen's words at the time, that set was completely useless in the base area and even in the entire Northeast. No one knew what the oil refining equipment and the drilling platforms that No. 1 bought were used for. The money was enough to buy another steelmaking equipment.  In addition to the factory, there is a non-ferrous metal smelting plant, or five ammunition factories with a daily output of one million rounds of bullets are being established, plus two large artillery shell factories.

    Xiong Dazhen once told Guo Bingxun more than once that the Japs have occupied the Northeast for several years, and the entire Northeast has been combed by them. Not to mention that they have not found oil fields, and they have not even found oil-bearing strata. With the meticulousness of the Japs,  , have not been able to find it, but can be found by the Anti-League whose technical strength is far inferior to that of the Japanese.

    Xiong Dazhen was a top student at Tsinghua University. Although he did not major in geology, Guo Bingxun still trusted his words, abilities, and scientific strength. Guo Bingxun also did not believe that Xiong Dazhen's rigorous personality would lead to this matter.  Deceiving yourself about things.

    But looking at this promising and confident young man, Guo Bingxun was a little confused: "Is he really capable of doing this in the northernmost part of China, which has been publicly declared as an oil-poor country by well-known big oil companies?  The territory of Northeast China, which had been almost plundered by the Japanese, was transformed into a large oil field out of thin air.¡±

    It's not that Guo Bingxun, Xiong Dazhen, or even the entire Northeast Bureau distrust Yang Zhen. In fact, the Chinese in this era, because of their own weak technology, even have some blind trust in the technical capabilities of foreigners, even Guo Bingxun.  Such people also have no doubts about the American report that concluded that China is an oil-poor country.

    Almost everyone thinks that even the Americans, who are technically strong, and the Japanese, who are always known for their meticulousness. A so-called Manchurian resource map marked almost all the mineral resources in the Northeast, but they did not find oil fields in the Northeast. So, then  For all Chinese, this means that there are really no oil fields in Northeast China.

    Although some people did not believe that Yang Zhen could create an oil field out of thin air, Guo Bingxun was very smart and did not continue to ask this question because he remembered clearly that Yang Zhen had told him more than once that China was not a foreigner.  This is an oil-poor country.

    On the contrary, although the oil reserves are not as good as those of the United States and the Soviet Union, they are definitely not less than the oil reserves in Nanyang, which the Japanese army has been spying on for a long time. Even if part of China's underground oil is exploited, or the oil in the Northeast is exploited, it will not be smaller than the world's largest oil reserves.  Oil fields, the Soviet Union's Caucasus oil fields and Baku oil fields have such low production.

    Yang Zhen has told himself many times that there are oil fields in the entire Northeast, not only in Heilongjiang in northern Manchuria, but also in Jilin in central Manchuria and Liaoning in southern Manchuria, as well as in the Japanese-occupied areas of Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, and the rear area.  There are oil fields in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region where the central government is located, Sichuan where the National Government is located, and Guangxi.

    Although the scale of these oil fields, except for the oil reserves in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border area and the oil reserves in Northern Manchuria, cannot be compared with the Soviet Caucasus oil fields and the oil fields in Northern Manchuria, even if only the oil fields in Jilin and Liaoning Liaohe estuaries are compared  The development of those two relatively small oil fields will be enough to meet Japan's entire strategic needs.

    Although Sichuan's oil resources are not as good as those in the eastern region and Xinjiang, and its reserves are far from those in the eastern region, if it is mined, the annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons plus the output of the Yumen Oilfield will be enough to meet the extremely high degree of mechanization.  The National Government¡¯s basic needs are just that the National Government is too blindly trusting in foreigners and does not organize its own forces to carefully explore.

    It¡¯s not that Guo Bingxun doesn¡¯t believe Yang Zhen¡¯s words are true, it¡¯s because Guo Bingxun, who once studied in France, only believes in science and will never believe anything that has not been rigorously scientifically demonstrated. If Yang Zhen said those things, and rigorous exploration has proved that there is indeed oil, so he will naturally believe it.

    But Yang Zhen himself has never been to many places. He just said that there is oil in those places. How can he make Guo Bingxun, who is rigorous by nature and advocates science, believe it? Isn¡¯t this the same as talking with his eyes open? Foreigners with strong technical support have not investigated.  How could he know where there is oil?

    Seeing that Guo Bingxun didn't seem to believe what he said, Yang Zhen didn't care. All the doubts will naturally be clear after the Daqing Oilfield is put into production. As for now, there is no need to explain too clearly, otherwise, once others ask questions  How did he know that there was an oil field there? He would be the unlucky one.

    But when he thinks of explaining this kind of thing, Yang Zhen sometimes gets a headache just thinking about it. The oil field is not a weapon. You can just make up a reason to get away with it. This kind of thing needs to be rigorously scientifically verified. There is no suitable one.  The reason is simply impossible to fool around with. You can't pretend to be a magician and claim that your eyes can see all over space and underground.

    Although he was very reluctant, the following situation forced him to build the Daqing Oilfield decades ahead of schedule. Otherwise, without the oil, his planes and tanks would be like scrap metal. Now the Soviets are too busy to take care of themselves.  , even if the price I pay is higher, I am afraid I will not continue to sell oil to myself.

    Indeed, after the Pacific War broke out, the Americans were constrained by the war situation, and no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to provide assistance to themselves. Even if it could not reach the level of support they provided to the British and Soviets, aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery were certainly indispensable.  of.

    Americans are not so stingy about military raw materials, such as steel for armor, copper for gun shells, smokeless gunpowder and explosives. Compared with the precious blood of Americans, although these equipment also require some economic costs  The price is high, but Americans still think it is a good deal. As one of the most important military supplies, Americans will naturally not be stingy with all kinds of oil.

    Moreover, as the largest oil producer and oil refining country today, the Americans even provided more than half of the military fuel, especially high-quality aviation gasoline, to the Soviet Union, the second largest oil producer, during World War II. Naturally, they would not care about providing it to the Soviet Union.  For them, the Anti-League is only a small amount of gasoline produced in a month.

    But all the blood transfusions are in the hands of others, which makes Yang Zhen always feel uncomfortable. As a Chinese soldier of later generations, few have a good impression of Americans. Oil is the blood of the modern army. Without oil,  Planes and tanks will become a pile of scrap metal.

    Yang Zhen is still a little worried about relying entirely on the Americans for such important supplies. If there is any accident during the transportation process, or the supply is not timely, unless he returns to the past state of millet plus rifles, his troops will be  Complete paralysis.

    As a latecomer, Yang Zhen was very aware of the heavy losses of the U.S. aid supplies to the Soviet Union and the aid transport fleet to China during World War II. Especially on the premise that the Americans¡¯ foreign aid channels had to go through the Soviet Union, although the safety was  There is no need to think about it, but smoothness must be carefully considered.

    Yang Zhen believed that if the Soviets, who lacked high-quality gasoline and whose oil production capacity was greatly reduced during the war, needed it, they would definitely use the high-quality gasoline delivered by Americans in their territory. As for the  Whether the Anti-Japanese Alliance also needs this gasoline is not their concern. Whether the Soviets will use the materials given to the Anti-Japanese Alliance for their own use is what Yang Zhen is most worried about.

    Moreover, Yang Zhen did not intend to obtain any ready-made equipment from the Americans except for airplanes. He was more focused on how to make the most of the magnificent stage of World War II and to use all the equipment within the limited time.  It is possible to establish China's own heavy industries, such as the aviation industry, steel industry, and various advanced machinery and equipment required for equipment manufacturing.

    As for the equipment currently in service by the Americans, apart from aircraft, naval ships, and various automobiles, he really doesn¡¯t have much that he likes. Although the performance of the M-4 Sherman tank is good, it is not as good as the German Panzer IV and Leopard.  Compared with the previous tanks, both armor and artillery performance are far behind. Compared with the Soviet T-34 tanks, there is also a big gap in performance. Compared with Soviet-made and German-made artillery, the performance of American-made artillery is far behind.  It is not far ahead, and even lags behind in terms of power.

    As the world¡¯s first large-scale semi-automatic rifles, the M-1 rifle and carbine, as well as the Thompson submachine gun, have excellent performance, but there is a whole generation gap compared to their own fully automatic rifles equipped with intermediate bullets.

    With the exception of the M2 large-caliber machine gun, the other light and heavy machine guns are not as good as the general-purpose machine guns equipped by our own troops, not to mention our own production.??, the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns that have been equipped on a large scale for troops as battalion-level support firepower and anti-aircraft firepower are no worse than those produced by the Americans. In terms of weight, they are far lower than those produced by the Americans.  An old gun that has been around for nearly a hundred years.

    Although he is somewhat disdainful of the current American army equipment, Yang Zhen covets American raw materials, production technology, and machinery and equipment. He has already made up his mind to wait until next year if the Americans really provide assistance.  In my own words, in addition to aircraft and automobiles, all of them require machinery, equipment, production technology, and raw materials for military production.
