    "His Majesty the Sultan, it is true that a large amount of oil has been discovered in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia, but we do not know how to mine or smelt oil ourselves, so we still need to rely on the Ming Dynasty."

    "But the Ming Dynasty people feel that the situation here in the Mesopotamia is not stable. We and the Persians have repeatedly competed for this place, so they do not dare to really spend money to buy our oil fields for fear that they will lose everything."

    When Ibrahim heard this, he also said quickly.

    Since the discovery of large amounts of oil in the Persian Gulf, the Ottoman Empire, Persia and Egypt have launched a fierce competition for the two river basins.

    Especially in recent years, with the popularization of internal combustion engines and the rapid development of the Ming Empire's automobile industry, the demand for oil has increased, and the Ming Empire's own oil production has been far from meeting its own needs.

    The price of oil is getting higher day by day. The oil in the Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf has naturally become a gold and silver mine in the eyes of everyone. The competition has become even more fierce. As a result, many wars have broken out between the two sides.  The river basin also changed hands repeatedly.

    ¡°Can¡¯t we extract oil ourselves and sell it to the Ming people?¡±

    Su Laiman thought for a while and said.

    He is very short of money now. He needs money everywhere. He urgently needs the oil from the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia to bring him a steady stream of funds. However, in this area, both Persia and Egypt are eyeing him, especially Persia, who is desperate for money.  He refused to give up here and fought even if he couldn't win. In short, he was constantly competing for this area with the Ottoman Empire.

    "If we mine oil ourselves, we need to spend a lot of money to buy related equipment and transportation vehicles from the Ming Dynasty. This investment is relatively large, and it is not stable. Once it is robbed by the Persians, it will be equivalent to  Made a wedding dress for the Persians."

    Ibrahim stressed again helplessly.

    "In this way, we can only watch helplessly where the gold and silver mountains are, but we can't get any benefits?"

    Su Laiman immediately said extremely dissatisfied.

    It feels really uncomfortable to hold a large amount of oil in the air, but you can only watch it without being able to turn the oil into money.

    "Unless we can completely defeat the Persians and Egyptians and firmly control the two river basins in our hands, those Ming businessmen will not invest."

    "Here in the Persian Gulf, the Ming people have two colonies. In both colonies, a large amount of oil has been discovered. This oil is enough for the Ming people to use for many years. They are not very anxious to exploit our oil now.  .¡±

    Ibrahim nodded helplessly.

    "There is really no way now. We have to rely on the Ming people for everything. If we have the technology to mine it, we can also mine the oil ourselves and sell it to Ming businessmen. They are still willing to buy the oil.

    Petroleum can not only be used to smelt gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc., but can also be used in the chemical industry. It has many uses. The market demand in the Ming Empire is very huge.

    In addition, the demand for oil in the South African colonies is second only to the Ming Empire, which is also very huge. Oil has not yet been discovered in the South African colonies, so they all rely on imports. The main source of oil is tea from the Persian Gulf.  Ling Colony and Zhang Colony.

    ¡°Persians, Egyptians!¡±

    Thinking of the Persians and Egyptians, Suleiman had a headache.

    The Egyptians didn¡¯t have much. His father almost destroyed Egypt back then. If the Ming Dynasty hadn¡¯t intervened in the end and used the excuse of protecting the canal, Egypt would have been destroyed.

    The decadent Mamluk dynasty has long been corrupt and extremely corrupt, and is nothing to worry about.

    However, the Egyptians relied on the considerable profits brought by the Egyptian canal. In addition to making the Mamluk nobles more decadent, they also used silver to purchase a large number of arms and weapons, making Egypt stronger and more ambitious.  Also got up.

    The real headache is the Persians. The Persian Empire has a large territory, a large population, and a long history. The key is that Yinsmayi I is also the current hero, with great talent, ambition and vision.

    Persia is one of the few independent countries that has a good relationship with the Ming Empire but is not a vassal state of the Ming Empire. It relies on good relations with the Ming Empire in all aspects.

    The Persian Empire has always received a lot of benefits from the Ming Empire, including low-interest and preferential loans, arms and weapons, port shipbuilding assistance, etc.

    ¡¾To be honest, I have been using the Changing Source App recently to read books and catch up on updates. Changing Sources can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.huanyuanapp.com is available for Android and Apple.Farm?  "

    Yin Simayi I shook his head slightly and did not think about the Ming people. There was really no way to compare. Compared with the Ming Empire, Persia was nothing at all. The gap was really too big.

    "Your Majesty, in the past six months, our family has successively discovered more than 30 new oil fields, which is expected to increase our monthly income by more than 500,000 taels of silver."

    Yashar on the side also quickly replied. He is the Minister of Petroleum appointed by Yinsmayi I and is specifically responsible for petroleum matters.

    "Well, not bad, not bad!"

    Yin Simayi I nodded with satisfaction, then looked in the direction of the Mesopotamia and said: "It would be great if we could truly occupy the Mesopotamia. Dozens of oil fields have been discovered by casual exploration.  It¡¯s all money!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
