At first glance, it seems difficult to double or triple Nanyang's oil production, but Hu Weidong happens to know the location of a large oil field that has not yet been discovered at this time. This Minas oil field is also the largest oil field in Indonesia in history, located in Sumatra.
In the middle of the island, in the swampy zone along the Strait of Malacca in Riau Province, it was discovered in the 1940s. The recoverable reserves exceed 1 billion tons. If exploration is sufficient, it will be easy to produce 10 to 20 million tons per year. It is also worth mentioning.
What's more, there are four major oil fields in Indonesia nearby, and the total reserves account for 10% of Indonesia's total historical reserves. Of course, during World War II, the Minas Oil Field alone was enough.
...
A giant oil field with such large reserves is much easier to find than those small and medium-sized oil fields in Germany. However, due to its remote location, it did not gradually become known to the world until it was officially put into production a year later. As an investor, Zhongfu Co., Ltd. only participated in the Pacific War.
Before the outbreak, it had obtained net income of hundreds of millions of dollars, and Zhongfu International, as its second largest shareholder, naturally also made a lot of money.
Ford has also benefited a lot from it. The profit dividends of Zhongfu Co., Ltd. are only one aspect. What is more important is that in the past, those Jewish consortiums could control the neck of Ford by manipulating international oil prices, but this method will not work in the future. Moreover.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to invest in the Minas Oilfield, Hu Weidong also introduced Tan Kah Kee and other major leaders in the Nanyang rubber industry to Edsel Ford. The two parties subsequently signed a cooperation agreement, which increased Ford's rubber costs.
It can be reduced a lot. In addition, due to the continued growth of profits, Ford, which is not short of money, has begun to invest in the ocean shipping industry, which is still in a recession cycle, thereby completing the construction of a "one-stop" enterprise system.
This business model is inefficient, but it can effectively prevent various risks. This was very obvious in the late 1930s and early 1940s when the aftermath of the economic crisis continued and was soon shrouded in the shadow of war, and compared with
Another advantage of focusing on a single industry is that it can circumvent the U.S. Antitrust Law. Within a few years, Ford, which was already among the largest companies in the world, further grew into a super-giant complex unprecedented in world history.
Even the Jewish consortium that controlled the economies of many countries was wary of the sex industry group. The high-spirited old Ford even openly wrote an article criticizing the greed of the Jewish consortium for causing the Great Depression, which was the biggest scourge in the world and caused a huge stir.
Big turmoil, of course, these are things for later...
Luring the Japanese to Nanyang would be of great help to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but for the overseas Chinese living in Nanyang, it would be an unprecedented disaster. Hu Weidong felt guilty but had no other choice but to persuade the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.
Try to move away as much as possible, especially in Singapore, a "jedi", but everyone is generally reluctant to let go of the family business that has been worked hard for generations, and almost no one believes that the Japanese can defeat the British army. So not many people listen to the advice. Hu Weidong can only say in his heart
I apologize, after all, what he wants to defend is the overall interests of the Chinese nation...
As soon as Hu Weidong returned to China, he learned some good news. Tesla not only arrived at the Central Plains base safely, but also quickly made a major contribution. Shu Xingbei, who had once again improved the experimental radar, worked under Tesla
With the help of Tesla, the first radar with practical significance was finally successfully designed and manufactured. The radio proximity fuze project, which had been difficult before, also made breakthrough progress. Shu Xingbei, who had always been unconvinced by Tesla,
He was completely impressed by the scientific geek he met once in hundreds of years, and his character became modest and cautious. Perhaps because of this, the tragedy of his life in history was avoided...
In addition, He Zuolin, a former geology lecturer at Peking University who discovered rare earth deposits in Bayan Obo two years ago, also found rare earth deposits in Suizhou, Hubei. Although the reserves are far less than those in Bayan Obo, they were at least enough to be used during the Anti-Japanese War. Rare earths are very important to the steel industry.
It has irreplaceable value and is a necessary additive for the production of ductile iron. What's more, Hu Weidong wanted people to study rare earth permanent magnet materials. Now that the basic raw materials were available, the project started non-stop immediately. He was extremely interested in this special feature.
Regardless of his eighty-year-old age, Silla personally took charge of this project...
Due to the progress of the peace talks between the two parties, more and more material categories have begun to be openly transported into the base areas, the most important of which are naturally the precious machines that Hu Weidong purchased abroad. As a result, not only did the basic industry in the Central Plains base areas advance by leaps and bounds, Hu Weidong was forced to
Many weapons that were abandoned in development can finally be launched. In addition to the Bayi gun family mentioned above, Hu Weidong attaches the most importance to the development of 40mm individual rocket launchers, 107mm rocket launchers, 105mm mountain guns and various anti-aircraft guns.
During the Anti-Japanese War in North China, rifle grenades that were originally thought to be effective against tanks exposed their shortcomings of insufficient accuracy and too short range. At that time, Hu Weidong was determined to develop an individual rocket launcher with greater power, higher accuracy, and longer range. In the Central Plains base area
The industrial foundation was obviously solidified, especially after the industrial production of optical lenses and seamless steel pipes was realized. Hu Weidong immediately started the development of the 40mm individual rocket launcher using the historical Type 69 rocket launcher as the basic template.
Compared with individual rocket launchers, the 107mm rocket launcher is more valued by Hu Weidong. This classic in the history of new China's military engineering can not only be concentrated to carry out fierce fire coverage on large enemy troops and important strongholds, but also can be dismantled into four tubes.
Double-barreled, single-barreled, or even abandoning the barrel, using only rockets for guerrilla warfare. Especially the barrel-less launch method is very difficult to prevent. Moreover, even without a barrel, 107mm rockets still have incredibly high accuracy.
, which poses a great threat to enemy barracks, warehouses, airports and other large targets...(.
