What Xia Yang wants to buy are these tanks and armored vehicles that have just been produced and have not yet been equipped with troops.
¡°But armored cars and tanks, and those trucks, all need gasoline and diesel to start and run.
Xia Yang can purchase a large amount of gasoline and diesel from the Huangsha Baizhan system.
But after he thought about it carefully, he felt that the cost would be a bit high just to purchase it from the system.
Xia Yang planned to exploit his own oil fields and build a small refinery.
The scale of this refinery will not be too large, but it is enough to support the daily consumption of these tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks.
For this purpose, Xia Yang specially obtained some oil refining equipment, drilling machines, and oil production equipment through several Soviet officers in the Far East.
He even spent a lot of money to recruit some Soviet engineers from the Soviet oil refinery plants in the Far East.
These engineers originally did not intend to leave their homes and come to China, which is far away and is at war.
It¡¯s just that the money Xia Yang gave was too high, so they had to accept Xia Yang¡¯s sincere invitation.
After these engineers arrived in Datong, the first thing they did was to train oil workers for them according to Xia Yang's requirements.
The leader of this team of engineers is Belarusian Taftagsky.
Because he made some political mistakes, he was assigned to the Soviet oil refinery in the Far East.
Although he still holds the title of petroleum engineer, coming to the edge of the Far East is no different from being exiled to the frontier for Taftagsky.
Taftagsky was very puzzled by Xia Yang's insistence on training oil workers.
Because at that time, basically all geologists internationally believed that China was an oil-poor country with almost no oil fields that could be exploited.
And Taftagsky also expressed to Xia Yang before the training started.
"Dear General Xia, although you are very determined, I must say it. Even if I teach these workers, they have enough knowledge about oil refining and oil extraction.
Even if you purchase all the relevant industrial equipment, there is no oil to be mined in China. "
Xia Yang knew that he had no ill intentions and was just stating to him a fact that was known to everyone at the time.
But Xia Yang traveled from the past, and there are indeed no oil fields in Shanxi. But Inner Mongolia is different.
In Inner Mongolia, there are several large and medium-sized oil fields, and they are not too difficult to exploit.
In addition, there is also a very huge oil field in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Basin area-Changqing Oilfield.
This oil field has large reserves. In 2012, its annual output reached 50 million tons, surpassing the famous Daqing Oil Field and becoming the largest oil field in China.
Xia Yang thought to himself, if he turns around and recovers the Northeast as well. There is also the Daqing Oilfield over there, and the grain reserves in that oilfield are also scary.
So Xia Yang said to Taftagsky at that time: "Dear Mr. Taftagsky, just teach. After you have trained all these oil workers, I will take you to find oil fields. And It¡¯s still a very huge oil field.¡±
Taftagsky didn¡¯t know why, but he always felt that General Xia was talking nonsense.
But he doesn¡¯t need to worry so much, he just needs to do what Xia Yang said. Anyway, Xia Yang will still pay him wages. Whether he can find the oil field by then is not something he needs to worry about.
At the end of February, Xia Yang returned to Datong.
At this time, the group of petroleum engineers recruited from the Soviet Union by Xia Yang had completed the training of the first batch of 100 petroleum workers.
But because of the lack of oil fields, they have no place to practice. Although all the workers can operate various equipment, there is no oil for them to mine and extract.
He immediately found Taftagsky, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Dear Taftagsky, take your students and the oil mining and refining equipment, and we will take a car to find him. oilfield."
Taftagsky and other petroleum engineers were all a little confused when Xia Yang pulled them onto the truck. Let¡¯s drive to the north of Chahar Ulanqab.
They sat in the car for a whole night, and it was not until noon the next day that they arrived at Tumuertai Town, Chayouhou Banner, north of Ulanqab.
ThisThe house was very small, and the local people were very surprised when they saw dozens of military trucks and a large number of people wearing military uniforms suddenly arriving.
Because the military uniforms are similar to those of the soldiers of the Kagel Combat Division who took over here before, the people here are not afraid of them.
After all, when the Kagel Combat Division occupied this place, it only eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops here, and it can be said that it did no harm to the people.
As soon as Taftagsky got out of the car, he squatted on the side of the road and vomited.
There are no roads here at this time. The trucks are all on the grassland, running in one direction.
Not to mention Taftagsky, many of the accompanying soldiers squatted on the roadside and vomited because of motion sickness.
When Taftagsky was almost vomiting, Xia Yang patted him on the shoulder, pulled him up from the ground, pointed to the vast expanse of grassland in front of him and said: "Dear Taftagsky, we will eat later. Let¡¯s have lunch and then start looking for oil with the drill.¡±
Taftagsky looked at the pasture ahead, then turned to look at Xia Yang, thinking to himself, was the general talking in his sleep?
"General Xia, I know that you are an invincible general. But when it comes to oil, I am obviously more professional. How can you be confident that you can find oil by drilling holes in a place that has not been explored at all? Woolen cloth?"
Taftagsky tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.
He felt that Xia Yang was simply wasting manpower and resources by doing this.
Xia Yang patted his shoulder, then pointed to the large grassland in front and said: "Mr. Taftagsky, please believe me. If your drilling machine goes all the way down the grassland in front of you, there will definitely be oil coming out. of."
Taftagsky felt that Xia Yang was simply unreasonable.
He just doesn¡¯t understand geology or oil exploration.
You should also know that if oil is really easy to extract, there will be no need for so many geologists to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to find oil fields.
But Xia Yang just smiled and was not angry at Taftagsky's protest.
People from the local town held a banquet in honor of Xia Yang and the others.
People in the town don¡¯t know what the oil that Xia Yang and the others want to exploit is. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
