Three hundred and twentieth IX preparations for the post-war
If the oil resources in the Liaohe Triangle can be developed at this time, it will be very helpful in exchange for the urgently needed foreign exchange for industrial construction in the coming future. We cannot always rely on the central government to squeeze out other strategic areas to raise funds. After all, each country
The region also needs to survive.
Especially for those base areas in Central China, East China, and surrounding areas that are still behind enemy lines, their own survival and development also require a certain amount of funds. Even the base areas in North China with better conditions will soon have their financial foundations mined by the central government.
Empty. Therefore, Yang Zhen does not advocate exporting grain. This kind of resource involves the national economy and people's livelihood. Yang Zhen insists on developing the Liaohe oil field.
It is to exchange for the most urgently needed foreign exchange through normal trade means after the war, when all foreign aid is lost. The accounting method adopted by the Americans now, of delivering goods first and collecting money later, was used during the war.
During this period, special measures were taken to reduce their own burdens. Once the war is over, Americans will not pay a penny for such a good thing.
Even because of China's own special situation, some aspects are unwilling to disrupt the situation. Maybe by the beginning of 40 or 5 years, the Americans will terminate the Lend-Lease Act implemented by the Anti-Alliance. Not to mention that the Americans will not provide it after the war.
The one-cent aid means that the Americans are currently very tight on spare parts for the weapons and equipment they provide to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
It also strictly prohibited the Anti-Japanese Alliance from providing US-aided weapons and equipment to the customs forces with one bullet or one gun. The Americans also repeatedly emphasized that if they found any American tank or US-made artillery in the hands of the customs forces, they would
If it was even a rifle, they would completely terminate the assistance to the Anti-League.
Although the Americans are simply covering their ears and stealing the bell, these regulations made in order to strike a balance did cause the Anti-Japanese Alliance to encounter many problems when providing weapons and equipment to the internal forces. However, the Americans first provided their captured weapons to the Anti-Japanese Alliance
There are no such requirements for German products.
Second, there are no similar requirements for the equipment manufactured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance using US aid materials. This requirement is only limited to weapons and equipment provided by Americans. The Anti-Japanese Alliance has a large number of seized Japanese weapons, and also
A large number of German-made weapons were obtained from the Americans in exchange for them from the Soviets.
Moreover, except for tens of thousands of carbines, the Americans did not assist the Anti-Japanese Alliance with any light weapons. Except for aircraft and tanks, the number of heavy weapons was not large. What really worked was to allow the Anti-Japanese Alliance to hand over heavy weapons.
When weapons were given to the customs forces, they were subject to some restrictions, but this problem is not without solutions.
First of all, the Anti-Japanese Alliance has a large number of captured Japanese artillery, plus the German goods exchanged from the Soviets, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance's self-produced artillery, which is enough to meet the needs of the internal troops in heavy weapons. As for tanks
, American-made tanks will not work. There is absolutely no problem with the Soviet-style T-34 tanks produced by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, or the German-made tanks handed over by the Soviets.
Although these tanks are made of US-aided armor steel and engine aluminum, they are not US-aided weapons and equipment, so American restrictions in this regard basically have no effect. In fact, throughout the entire process of the Anti-Japanese War, the Anti-Japanese War
More than half of the T-34 tanks produced were handed over to the customs forces.
The most fundamental thing is that the Americans have no restrictions on military raw materials. The Anti-Japanese Alliance can openly use the military raw materials aided by the Americans to continuously ensure the supply of ammunition to the troops inside the customs. At the same time, it allocates a large number of US aid vehicles and transport aircraft to the troops inside the customs.
, and transfer some machinery and equipment to North China.
However, although the American restrictions did not have any effect, the American restrictions in this area also made Yang Zhen a little wary. In this regard, he saw the shadow of Chongqing behind him, and also saw the influence of Chongqing in Washington.
However, this is normal. Is this right now? If you have formal diplomatic relations with the Americans, at least on the surface, the Americans still have to stand by them.
The Americans calculated very clearly that the equipment provided to the Anti-Alliance to assist the Anti-Alliance was slightly more than enough to meet the needs of the single Anti-Alliance war against Japan, but when used in other aspects, there was a big gap. Therefore, he even believed that the Americans would not be able to implement the Anti-Alliance implementation
The Lend-Lease Act may even be completely frozen in four to five years.
But the ongoing industrial construction in the entire liberated area is in urgent need of advanced foreign technology and industrial equipment. Although the Eurasian continent is now integrated, there are not many countries that can provide these things. But this war has now come to an end.
A broken Europe also needs funds to rebuild. As long as you have money, you can still buy much-needed materials and technology.
It was precisely because of this vigilance that he insisted on developing the oil resources in the Liaohe Delta now in order to prepare for post-war foreign trade in advance and raise much-needed foreign exchange after the war. If it were not for the Jin-Pu Railway in Shandong,
There were also a large number of Japanese troops, and they even wanted to develop the Yellow River Delta and Haihe Delta areas, as well as the Dagang Oilfield and Shengli Oilfield in later generations.
Of course, Yang Zhen knows that he is just thinking about these things now. Several oil fields in North China are currently relatively close to the Japanese-occupied areas, and the drilling depth exceeds the actual technical capabilities of Northeast China. The most important thing is that
, if you show that you know too much, it will arouse others' suspicion.
The North China Oilfield is not like the Liaohe Oilfield. I have certain evidence in my hand. Even if I just pretend to be a deer, I can force the Liaohe Oilfield to come out. If you want to develop several oilfields in North China, you can't do it without large-scale exploration capabilities. And this capability
, but it happens to be something that is not available in the country at the moment. The Japanese in the Liaohe Oilfield have discovered industrial oil seedlings after painstaking exploration and test drilling at a huge cost. There is no problem in copying the cat and the tiger.
The news that the Daqing Oilfield was developed during the Anti-Japanese War and after all the hard work finally obtained the corresponding information, the Kwantung Army was stimulated and criticized by domestic public opinion. With the support of the Japanese Army, the Kwantung Army was really restless.
Almost all local technical personnel were mobilized to conduct multiple oil surveys throughout southern Manchuria on the basis of the original ones.
Of course, the reason why the Japanese Army was hemorrhaging so much was still related to Japan, which was going crazy with its oil shortage, and its own oil demand. Although the southward campaign achieved great results at that time, the oil fields in the entire Southeast Asia, whether they were Burmese or Dutch
In the East Indies, the damage was extremely serious.
At that time, the oil fields in Myanmar had been completely blown up, and it was impossible to repair them with Japanese technology. Most of the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies were bombed into ruins. The Japanese themselves did not know how to repair these oil fields.
It could not be repaired. Although the Japanese later tried their best to repair most of the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies.
And through hard work, Indonesia's oil field production was finally restored to 70% of the pre-war level. However, when they were first occupied, the degree of dilapidation of the oil fields made the Japanese themselves suspicious. After all their efforts, they only got a ruins.
, one can imagine the frustration in the hearts of the Japanese.
The Japanese blamed the destruction of the oil fields on the captured Dutch soldiers in the Dutch East Indies. Less than one-tenth of the captured Dutchmen in the entire Dutch East Indies survived the war. The captured
Dutch women, young and old, were all used as comfort women.
This is also the reason why the Dutch were most enthusiastic about tracking down Japanese war criminals after the war. Although what they did to the indigenous people in the Dutch East Indies was no better than what the Japanese did to them. But they were white
, destined to be a head above those indigenous people. It is very satisfying to have these things happen to others, but they cannot accept it when others do it to themselves.
In fact, the Japanese also made some mistakes. It was not the Dutch army that bombed these oil fields, but several American task forces sent to fight in the Dutch East Indies, as well as the Army Air Force. Not only the Dutch East Indies
Oil fields, even aluminum mines, nickel mines and copper mines that were also urgently needed by the local Japanese were also bombed by the Americans.
The Americans who knew what the Japanese needed and what to blow up would make the Japanese feel distressed were so thorough. They not only dispatched ground personnel, but also used tons of explosives to completely blow up the entire oil field. Stationed in the Netherlands
When the US military aircraft belonging to the East Indies were evacuating, they also dropped all the bombs in their inventory on these oil fields.
The extent of damage to these oil fields has made the Japanese almost lose confidence in repairing them. Oil extraction itself is a weakness of the Japanese, and they lack corresponding equipment. Before the war, the Japanese, who relied entirely on European and American technology, had little confidence in repairing these destroyed oil fields.
But it's quite a big head.
The Americans, who would rather blow it up than let the Japanese get it, used explosives to blow up even the few rubber trees in the Dutch East Indies into two pieces, losing their ability to produce rubber. The Americans had done all this.
He patted his butt and slipped away before the Japanese army encircled him.
The unlucky Dutch eventually became the scapegoat, which also made the Japanese burst into tears. They almost lost their determination to support the war. When they took over, the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies were full of desolation, and the ruins of the
The Burmese oil fields made the Japanese base camp determined to dig three thousand meters of ground in southern Manchuria to find a large oil field like that in northern Manchuria.
Both the Kwantung Army and the Japanese base camp stubbornly believe that what the despicable Chinese people can do, the empire should be able to do even more. Compared with previous surveys, this survey is much larger in terms of area and level of detail.
Previous surveys. In addition, the Japanese introduced American drilling technology of over a thousand meters at the last moment before the war. Compared with previous surveys, the results this time are much better.
Even if they are opponents, you have to admit that the Japanese have perseverance. After the Anti-Japanese Alliance developed the Daqing Oilfield in northern Manchuria, some people in Japan insisted that since it was all within Manchuria, then northern Manchuria would develop large-scale oil fields.
Oil fields, there will also be oil fields in southern Manchuria. The structure of the entire Songliao area is similar. Since there is oil in the north, the south should be similar.
Taking into account the situation of the Daqing oil field leaked by limited intelligence, as well as the structure and location of the Romanian oil fields and some oil fields in the Soviet Union's South Caucasus. After nearly two years of investigation, and finally with the support of some intelligence personnel, the Kwantung Army determined
It is very likely that there will be oil fields in the Liaohe Delta.
In the current situation where the war situation is worsening and the transportation from the mainland to the oil producing areas in Southeast Asia is becoming more and more dangerous. If it were not for this battle, the Kwantung Army would have even drilled in the Liaohe Delta and found industrial oil seedlings. The only thing that cannot be ignored is
What is certain is the size of this oil field.
In order to support the Kwantung Army, the Japanese base camp even transported some of the mining equipment stored in the mainland to the Panshan area. It also carried out large-scale expansion and upgrades of the entire oil smelting plants in Jinzhou and Huludao. Only the equipment was transported and smelted.
The upgrading and transformation of the factory is also coming to an end.
