Chapter 173 Oil
February 12th is the New Year's Eve. When I was abroad, there was no atmosphere of the New Year. Before I knew it, the year passed. Yan Zi returned to this year and did not have a good time. In the afternoon, he informed the entire army, "Soldiers in frontier positions are not allowed to leave their posts without permission, beware of the Japanese army's raids."
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army did not move any abnormally, and the soldiers took turns to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Each of them had a bowl of white rice, two white flour buns, four pieces of braised pork and two eggs. Yan Zihui's treatment was the same as that of ordinary soldiers.
On the 18th, Song Han transported the prepared ammunition and supplies to China. The reason why it was so easy was that Citigroup had withdrawn its troops, and Si Nan mediated from it. Yi Huan's connections in Citigroup also played a certain role.
Yi Huan was not idle at home to concentrate on raising her baby. She took most of the deposits in the bank and bought a few pieces of land at a low price. When Yi Xin saw the pieces of land she bought, she frowned, "Little sister, these lands are very barren and you can't grow grain. What are you buying? If you like the farm, you can ask your brother-in-law to buy you a few fertile land."
"I didn't plan to be a farmer. I bought these pieces of land and it would be useful." Yi Huan smiled mysteriously.
"What's the use? Can't even say your third sister?" Yi Xin was interested by her.
"I also want to know what's the use." Si Nan said seriously.
Yi Huan smiled and said, "There is oil there."
"Stone... oil, are you sure?" Si Nan looked disbelief. Oil is a very important resource. Both cars and machines need it to start. Owning an oil field is equivalent to wealth.
"I'm sure." Yi Huan nodded.
"Little sister, how could you know this?" Si Nan asked.
"This is a commercial secret, I can't tell you." Yi Huan laughed, "If I hadn't been sure, I wouldn't have spent so much money to buy those barren lands." The reason why Yi Huan knew about these oil fields was because of the US-Iran War in another time and space.
"Little sister, what are you going to do?" Si Nan asked.
"Set up an oil company, my third brother-in-law, are you interested in participating in the shares?" Yi Huan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Si Nan nodded. He had always wanted to do oil business, so of course he would not miss such an opportunity.
"My third brother-in-law accounts for 30% of the shares, I account for 40% and the other 30% of them. I want to recruit Ying Guoren to join the gang and increase the company's power." Yi Huan said with a smile.
Si Nan thought for a while and said, "Little sister, do you want to use the Eagle Country?"
"There is a saying in China that wealth is moving. When oil is mined, some people will definitely become greedy and want to occupy the company. Third brother-in-law, I don't suspect that you can't protect the company, but it's better to share the burden with a few more people." Yi Huan said with a smile.
"It makes sense." Si Nan agreed.
Yi Huan sold land and resources, and Si Nan contacted other matters. Ten days later, Si Nan told her, "My sister, the procedures have been completed, and Pan American Petroleum Company has been officially established."
"Three brother-in-law, you are so efficient in your work." Yi Huan raised his thumbs up. Although he knew that the Sinan family had a certain influence in Citigroup, he didn't expect that even more sensitive companies like oil companies could be handled so quickly.
"The mining company is from Eagle Country." Si Nan said with a smile.
Pan American Petroleum Company was successfully established. In addition to the oil company, Yi Huan also established Oriental Chemical Factory to make oil derivative products, such as cosmetics and cleaning products. Yi Xin saw Yi Huan busy and reminded her: "Little sister, don't forget you are pregnant."
Yi Huan touched her stomach and said, "I haven't forgotten that it's easy to open a factory in Citigroup, and it's not hard at all." Citigroup has complete equipment and it's very convenient to open a factory. As for recruiting people, she doesn't have to worry. In Citigroup, there are many poor Chinese people who live a day in this foreign country. After the factory is opened, Yi Huan is preparing to recruit a large number of these people to work.
"Just remember, come and eat this cup of chicken soup." Yi Xin signaled Sister Cui to put the porcelain cup in front of Yi Huan.
"Sister Three, don't you need to eat a cup of chicken soup every day, right?" Yi Huan sighed.
Yi Xinheng glanced at her and said, "The doctor said, you are not nutritious."
"I'm afraid that if I eat this, I will be overnutrition." Yi Huan said with a pout.
"You eat it alone now and three people are supplemented. How can you overnutrition be? Be good, be obedient, drink the chicken soup quickly." Yi Xin coaxed her.
"Okay." Yi Huan said with a collapsed face.
Yi Huan was busy opening a company and making money in Citigroup. Yan Zihui was busy fighting in China, "the artillery fired."
One hundred 75mm field artillery fired immediately, and dense shells roared towards the Japanese army's positions, "boom boom boom". The explosion sounded on the positions, leaving behind bullet craters and smoke filled the air.
The Japanese army's attack lasted only half an hour, and more than half of the infantry divisions of more than 10,000 people suffered casualties. The Japanese army's tentative attack was completely defeated. The Japanese army was defeated again and again with the Chinese New Army, and the Guangdong Army and the Shanghai East Army won and lost each other.
Although the southern Guangdong Army changed its flags, the time was too short. Before Yan Zihui could change equipment for them, the military power of the Shanghai East Army was far better than the southern Guangdong Army. Chen Zehang was very angry with the behavior of pulling him back. He pointed all twenty cannons at the positions of the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division of the Southern Guangdong Army, "Fire the artillery and blow it hard for me."
"Boom boom boom" shells hit the positions of the southern Guangdong army one by one, and the soil, stones, and bomb fragments splattered everywhere, blood and flesh flying everywhere, screams rose and fell.
Those bunkers were as crisp as paper, and the soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army suffered a lot. Some people secretly complained, "The general had nothing to do after eating, and he had a good life, but he insisted on sending troops to fight the Shanghai-dong Army."
The soldiers were depressed, and under the shelling, they were killed and injured. In this battle, the southern Guangdong army was defeated and retreated from Hengcheng to Lingcheng. When the southern Guangdong army retreated step by step, the vanguard battalion of the teaching regiment of the Chinese New Army rushed to the 6th, and successfully met with the Fifth Regiment of the Fourth Regiment of the Third Regiment of the Sixth Infantry Division, and advanced towards the eastern suburbs of Changcheng.
"Run, brothers!" The morale of the new Chinese army was high, and the commanders of each company raised their arms and shouted.
"Today, kill these Japanese dogs."
While the Chinese new army won again, Pan American Petroleum also mined oil.
The person who mocked Si Nan for his fantasy was slapped in the face, but as Yi Huan had expected, they wanted to use some means to occupy this land containing oil.
"Shameless, despicable." Yi Xin cursed angrily.
"Sister Three, there is no need to be angry, they can't take over." Yi Huan said without any worries.
"My little sister is right. Ambassador of the Eagle Kingdom has already protested and has questioned publicly. My little sister, your move is amazing." Si Nan praised.
"It's not my credit, it's my third brother-in-law who found a partner." Yi Huan said with a smile.
Si Nan found one of these three partners, one of whom was a member of the Eagle Kingdom royal family. Although his inheritance order was very low, there were about fifty, he was also a member of the royal family after all. Moreover, he joined the oil company, which made the Eagle Kingdom convenient for obtaining oil. How could he let others harm his interests?
The people of Eagle intervened, and the people of Citigroup had to rest. Pan American Petroleum quickly opened up the situation in Citigroup, and the wealth was widely promoted. The oil company did not need Yi Huan to worry too much. Yi Huan took the time to ask about the Oriental Daily Chemical Plant, "How is the factory recruiting?"
Yi Huan asked Song Han to be responsible for the recruitment. Song Han replied: "It has been recruited. Those people know that the factory is run by Chinese people, so they all come to sign up enthusiastically." Song Han sighed, his expression slightly dim, "It's a pity that the factory cannot recruit too many people, but they just choose some suitable people."
Yi Huan comforted him and said, "This is only temporary. When our country is strong enough, our Chinese people's lives will be greatly improved." China will be strong so that these so-called Western powers will also be afraid.
"By the way, Mrs. Qi, there is a small boat yard for sale. Do you think you will buy it?" Song Han was busy running outside while busy with the daily chemical factory.
"What's the use of buying a shipyard?" Yi Huan asked.
Song Han said seriously: "China urgently needs to establish a navy." Although the battle between Jingu won, it won a lucky chance and suffered great losses. Jingu is too close to Jizhou. Once Jingu is lost, Jizhou will be in danger. China must have a strong navy to defend the coastline.
Yi Huan frowned, "Do you want to build a warship?"
Song Han nodded.
"Your idea is good, but it is difficult to achieve. Military shipyards and civilian shipyards are different. You should know that according to the laws of Citigroup, civilian shipyards cannot build warships. If they are found, the boss of the shipyard will be shot. Even if we can apply for a license, professionals who do not build warships cannot build warships. Even if you can invite professionals, do you think the Citigroup official will let you drive the warships back to China?" Yi Huan asked with a raised eyebrows.
"These can be solved." Song Han considered these issues.
"It seems that you have thought it very clearly. You must buy this shipyard, right?" Yi Huan asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Seven, I hope you can agree." Song Han said solemnly.
Yi Huan pondered for a moment and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Thirty-seventy-three thousand Citibanks." Song Han replied.
"Okay, I'll write you a check." Yi Huan is only responsible for paying money, and the other things are left to Song Han. Nowadays, oil companies are making money every day, and pharmaceutical factories are the same. Pfizer, food stores, beverage factories, etc. are all making money. What Yi Huan lacks the most is money.
Of course, Yi Huan alone cannot fully support the consumption of the civil war, but the second batch of ammunition and materials transported to China greatly alleviated the logistics pressure of the Chinese New Army and also gave the arsenal time to produce ammunition and replenish the front line. Yan Zihui was very satisfied with Song Han being able to transport so much ammunition and materials. The part that was not satisfied was that Song Han did not come back to tell him about Yi Huan's situation.
"This Guangxu really doesn't know how to do things." Yan Zi replied privately.
Yang Yihua eavesdropped and quietly sent a telegram to Citi Country to inquire about Yi Huan's situation. Song Han took this telegram and went to see Yi Huan, "Madam Seven, how should I reply to this telegram?"
Yi Huan was silent for a moment and said, "Just say I'm fine."
"Madam Seven, don't you tell the Governor about your pregnancy?" Song Han asked.
"Now is the most critical moment, so don't distract him. Let's wait a little longer before telling him." Yi Huan said while touching his stomach.
Song Hanzhi Yi Huan seemed weak, but she acted very decisively. The decisions would not change easily. She could only reply to the telegram according to her words.
As Yi Huan said, the bloody battle between the Chinese New Army and the Japanese army has reached the most critical moment. Whether it is the Chinese New Army or the Japanese army, after more than a month of fierce fighting, the ammunition and food were almost exhausted. The soldiers of the Chinese New Army were even physically and mentally exhausted, and the Japanese army was the same. Of course, Yan Zihui's approach of not being stingy with artillery shells and bullets made the casualties of the Chinese New Army far lower than that of the Japanese army; the Chinese New Army lost two regiments of troops, and the Japanese army lost one division and were completely wiped out. The Japanese army was really struggling.
The 6th Army of Japan has been defeated by the Chinese New Army three times. If it loses again in this battle, the 6th Army of Japan will be afraid of resigning. In the cabinet, there is no place for the 6th Army to speak. The highest commander of the Japanese country in China said in a deep voice, "Immediately dispatch the 21st Infantry Division, and the 36th Infantry Division will be surrounded by the back."
While the Japanese army was dispatching troops, Yan Zihui also inspected the front line, "Team Commander Chen, how about it? Can you resist the Japanese army's attack?"
"The Japanese army attacked once in the morning. It was quite fierce, but we still repelled. The military officer was confident and defeated the Japanese army." Commander Chen of the 7th Infantry Division said with confidence.
"Tomorrow morning, the first artillery regiment will arrive and will help you." Yan Zi smiled.
Commander Chen showed joy, "That's great, it's time for the Japanese dogs to taste how fierce our artillery fire is."
The war in China has not yet really decided to win and lose. Song Han visited three houses, one in the suburbs, and you can see a large area of flower fields when you open the door. Before Yi Huan expressed his opinion, Yi Xin rejected it, "It's not possible in the suburbs, it's too far from the city, so it's inconvenient to have children."
Yi Xin thought the environment was bad for the second house, "It's too close to the wharf, so forget it's noisy, the human source is complicated, and there are all kinds of religions."
The third house is in the city, and is close to Yi Xin. The environment is good. Next to it is a park. Yi Xin still feels that it is not possible, "This house has been built for fifty or sixty years, it is too dilapidated."
"Sister Three, you are too exaggerated. The house has been built for twenty-five years, and then fifty or sixty years. Third sister, I know you can't bear to leave me, but, Third sister, there is a pregnant sister who lives at my sister's house and doesn't leave? Even if my third brother-in-law has no objection, I'm embarrassed to let me move out. Third sister, good third sister." Yi Huan shook Yi Xin's hand and said coquettishly.
Yi Xin couldn't resist her, so she could only agree, but asked Cui Niang to follow her to take care of her, "Don't rush to help, wait until it's cleaned, ventilated, and choose an auspicious day before moving."
