It was not long after Wang Chenhao first captured land and sold oil in East SAS, East Germany, the United States,

Wang Chenhao once again sent someone to secretly go to San Joaquin, Los Angeles, southwestern California coast, Erillos, Northeast Kansas, Wilmington, Cook Bay, Unista, and Anadako,

Hills and other areas secretly enclose land and sent more than a dozen oil exploration teams to dig wells in these areas for exploration.

After more than three years of exploration, the exploration team discovered eight large oil fields in Luoxiu, Wilmington, Cook Bay and other areas, with reserves of more than 1.1 billion tons. No oil has been found in other areas yet, but Wang Chenhao clearly told the exploration team that there are large oil fields there, so the exploration team cannot go elsewhere and can only look for oil in the area designated by Wang Chenhao. Wang Chenhao knew that the scope of these areas he designated was not very large, but the technology and capabilities of these exploration teams in China are still limited, so they can only find some shallow buried oil fields.

But Wang Chenhao is not in a hurry. These places cover more than 80% of the United States' oil field reserves, and there will be more than 100 oil field areas, with a total volume of up to 12 billion tons. Even if it takes decades to go on it, it will be cost-effective.

Among the eight large oil fields discovered at present, the Luoxiuji area occupies five, with a total volume of about 600 million tons. Wang Chenhao decided to ask Tang Shaoyi to sell the five large oil fields in Luoxiuji. According to the current price of large oil fields in the United States, these five large oil fields can be sold at a good price of 300 million US dollars, while Wang Chenhao's money and oil mining rights on the land shall not exceed 10 million US dollars.

As for the other three oil fields that have been discovered, Wang Chenhao ordered the blockade immediately and bought all the land in the surrounding oil Narita area for future use.

Wang Chenhao knew that oil fields could not be taken out at once, as that would lead to too many oil fields and prices plummeted. Therefore, Wang Chenhao decided to sell several large oil fields every two or three years. In this way, he kept high profits.

Wang Chenhao, five major oil fields in Luoshanji, asked Tang Shaoyi to contact the Celingen family, huā Banner Consortium, and Cleveland Consortium, the three major chaebols with good relationships with Wang Chenhao, and planned to sell them. Because they are the richest and are most likely to pay for the oil field in a short time.

Soon, Tang Shaoyi contacted the three major chaebols and told them about the situation of the five major oil fields, the three major chaebols were very interested. They believed in the oil reserves of the five major oil fields, because Wang Chenhao had successfully enclosed land in East Texas before. With a precedent, Tang Shaoyi sold all five oil fields without much effort.

Since the Celingen family is the family of Concubine Gong of the Empire, the Celingen family divided two large oil fields, and the Cleveland consortium divided one oil field. The huā banner consortium was strong and took the remaining two oil fields in one go. The three consortiums finally invested a total of US$280 million to buy five large oil fields, which was 20 million US dollars cheaper than the market price estimated by Tang Shaoyi before. This situation was caused by Peter, the old Celingen family, bargained with Tang Shaoyi in a silly manner, and even sent a telegram to Wang Chenhao and Luoshiel personally. In the end, Wang Chenhao sold the two large oil fields to the Celingen family for their protection of Rochelle's face.

In this way, Wang Chenhao won a net sale of oil for the second time in the United States. With the 200 million US dollars cashed out from the Rockefeller Consortium, Wang Chenhao's personal assets increased to more than 3.6 billion US dollars. If Wang Chenhao obtained the royal property of the previous dynasty as the emperor of the empire, Wang Chenhao's personal assets would reach 5 billion US dollars, and he would be about to catch up with the total assets of the Rosscailder family of $6 billion.

Of course, the premise of this result is that Wang Chenhao did not include the Forbidden City.

The main purpose of Wang Chenhao's second money-making from the United States is to prepare for combat against Russia. The total amount is 4.7

All the billion US dollars of funds were exchanged into gold and transported back to the country, and Wang Chenhao lent the huge sum to the Imperial Government in his personal name. The Imperial Government then used this batch of gold as a benchmark and printed 470 million dragon coins as war reserve military expenses.

Wang Chenhao cashed out $470 million in gold from the United States, and the United States had just realized the gold standard, and the gold market was not stable. The 470 million gold that had no money was smashed into a calm lake was like a big stone, causing waves and ripples. This move almost triggered a US gold run crisis. In response, the US government then protested to the Chinese Empire's government, saying that this was a financial war launched by the Chinese Empire against the United States.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire then refuted, saying that the Chinese Empire was helping the US government test the achievements of the US gold standard reform.

For other powerful people, they were concerned about what Wang Chenhao used for this money. Similarly, the Chinese Empire government also responded truthfully that this gold would be used as the imperial gold reserve for war. The great powers of all countries expressed their understanding of the interpretation of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the protests of the US government quickly sank the sea, and the great powers of various countries stopped inquiries and soon left the end.

After forming a military alliance with the British Empire, the Chinese Empire won the game in diplomatic war against Russia. Compared with the Tsarist Russian Empire who relied on Russian Emperor Nicholas II to visit abroad, they raised 50 million pounds of war military expenses from France and Germany in a low manner, equivalent to 250 million dragon coins, and also borrowed interest-related loans. Conversely, the Chinese Empire emperor only bought a few pieces of land in the United States and sold them, and then raised 470 million dragon coins, and lent them to the Chinese Empire government for nine payments as a war gold reserve. Compared with the two, the gap between the two is huge. The Tsarist Russian Emperor Nicholas II should have bought a piece of tofu and killed himself.

In September 1990, the Standing Army of the 54 towns of the Chinese Empire successively completed its expansion, and its organization was established when it reached the well. In this way, the Army of the Chinese Empire expanded its 54 armies from the current 54 towns, and the total strength of the 108 towns reached 1.62 million.

Fifty-four armies were organized into twelve armies, each armies ranging from three to six armies. Among them, the First Army and the Second Army were assigned to the Beijing Military Region for command, and a First Army Group was established, with twelve armies under their jurisdiction, and cooperated with the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards to defend the security of the surrounding areas of the capital.

The Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Fifth Army were assigned to the command of the Fengtian Military Region. The Second Army Group was established, with twelve armies under its jurisdiction. The first priority was to defend the Northeast and assist in the defense of the ancient eastern part.

The Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Eighth Army were organized by the Lanzhou Military Region. The Third Army Group was established, with fourteen armies under its jurisdiction. The first priority was to defend the largest northwest region of the Chinese Empire, and to assist in the defense of the ancient western region.

Considering that the war will not be able to estimate the southeast, southwest and eastern regions, the Ministry of National Defense has established four major military regions, including the Shandong Military Region, Chengdu Military Region, Nanjing Military Region and Guangzhou Military Region after the three major military regions of Fengtian, Beibing and Lanzhou.

Among them, the Ninth Army is directly under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Military Region, the 10th Army under the Nanjing Military Region. The 11th Army is distributed to the Chengdu Military Region, and the 12th Army is distributed to the Guangzhou Military Region.

The four newly established military regions, plus the three previous military regions, the Chinese Empire had seven major military regions.

The Beijing Military Region, Fengtian Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region are still the main combat zones. The Ministry of National Defense concentrated almost all the elite troops of the Imperial Army in these three major military zones. Most of the other military regions are stationed in expanded troops, basically composed of reserves and new recruits.

Similarly, in terms of weapons and equipment, all 38 armies of the three major military regions of Beijing, Fengtian and Lanzhou were replaced with more advanced Browning 1897-type series rifles, rifles, pistols and heavy machine guns.

In terms of artillery, Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry imitated the millimeter-caliber field gun production system produced by Schneider Arsenal in France, and developed an improved advanced hydraulic retardation system.

In this way, the artillery of the Imperial Army of China has stronger rapid fire ability. Compared with the artillery of the German spring-based retreat system used before, the firing speed is faster. After calibrating the various elements, there is no need to modify it. The gun position will basically not move due to the recoil caused by fire.

After adding hydraulic retardation, Beiyang Weapon Heavy Industry also adjusted the caliber of the gun according to the requirements of the Army Department. Because the shell loading has been changed to the most powerful Black Sorkin gunpowder, the corresponding shell size and caliber of the gun need to be adjusted in order to cooperate with tactical battles.

The newly changed gun caliber is 75mm and 105mm of regiment-class field guns, and the division-class gun caliber has increased to 155mm. As for the division-class guns, the weight of the gun itself has not increased much, because Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry has abandoned the use of Krupp steel for production of artillery and instead used Chinese special steel for manufacturing. In this way, Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry does not have to pay high patent usage fees to German Krupp Company, but on the contrary, it is more reasonable to adopt Chinese special steel with higher quality on a large scale. At the same time, it can also stimulate the rapid growth and development of Zhili Steel Company.

Since the steel, technology and caliber used by the new artillery are not learned from Germany, and the shells fired are the world's leading Hassorkin high-explosive ammunition. No trace of the German style can be found on the new artillery, so German equipment officially bid farewell to the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army also began to fully equip domestically produced weapons with independent intellectual property rights. Since then, there have been a number of advanced equipment named after China Equipment in the world, which has led the trend of the new era.

Similarly, one of the most important angles in infantry firepower equipment, lightning cannons have been fully upgraded. In the past, the Chinese Imperial Army's lightning cannons were divided into three calibers: 51 mm, 82 mm and 107 mm. After many live-fire exercises in the army, the Army Department found that the lightning cannons had a wide range of combat uses. After the lightning cannons were made of Chinese special steel, they were much lighter and made it more convenient for individual combat belts. Therefore, in order to pursue better infantry combat capabilities, the army Department had stronger offense and defense without artillery support.
