The naval system has now become a fortress that cannot be penetrated by needles or poured by water.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and didn't speak for a long time.

People like Zuo Liangyu said this. After a while, what Chen Tingjing and Sun Zhijie said was to be expected.

The ship entered the Suez Canal. The Yanshan, with a displacement of 70,000 tons, was huge and could only move slowly.

An airship flew over and slowly hovered on the rear deck of the Yanshan.

After more than a dozen people got out of the pod, the airship continued to take off.

"Commander!

Marshal!"

Chen Tingjing and Sun Zhijie stand side by side!

After ten years of hard work, he was once a weak scholar in Huating, and now he has become a high official in the border areas.

It manages a vast area from the banks of the Nile to the Euphrates and Tigris rivers!

He was only thirty-six years old, the right age to fight, but his temples were already gray.

After he was appointed governor of the Middle East in the Ming Dynasty, the situation in the Middle East improved significantly.

The Middle East, which was made a mess by Li Xiu and was full of wars, is now slowly beginning to calm down.

Except for the Kurds, who are supported by the Israelis, the other races are as well-behaved as a cat in its confinement.

It can be said that Chen Tingjing has outstanding political achievements.

Needless to say, Sun Zhijie, under his command, the Middle East army used inferior forces to fight against superior Kurds and Arab guerrillas.

Strive to protect the Basra oil field from any threats and ensure the empire's crude oil supply.

Sun Zhijie, who has just turned 30, also has gray hair on her head.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Xiao patted the shoulders one by one.

Gray hair is the best proof of hard work.

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

"You are doing well in the Middle East. Crude oil from Basra Oilfield is continuously supplied to the mainland.

With Basra secured, the Russian and Mediterranean front lines were secured.

In the future, there will be more and more mechanical things, and the demand for oil will also increase.

Can the Middle East guarantee the empire’s crude oil needs?”

Chen Tingjing and Sun Zhijie looked at each other, and the latter nodded.

"Commander, this shouldn't be a big problem.

In addition to Basra, Ahmadi also discovered large oil fields.

This place is not far from the Basra oil field and closer to the seaport than Basra.

Drilling has now begun and it is estimated that mining conditions will be established around April.

Starting from May, crude oil production can be increased by 30,000 barrels per month.

With the increase in oil wells, we should be able to reach the monthly production target of 70,000 barrels by the end of the year.

Marshal, you don’t know.

The exploration team said that there are many oil fields in the Middle East and they are also very large.

In many places, the oil layer is very thin, and crude oil can be extracted by drilling a well more than 100 meters away.

We may not be able to fully exploit the proven reserves even if we exploit them at the current rate for a hundred years.

In the future, I hope the empire will continue to increase investment.

Add more oil wells to pump out more crude oil."

Li Xiao glanced at Chen Tingjing. This guy came here after doing his homework and extending his hand.

But pumping more and faster crude oil is correct.

After all, with the popularization of mechanization, the consumption of crude oil will reach a new height.

“The Middle East is a place with a lot of sand and crude oil.

It can be said that the Middle East is floating on oil fields.

The current production alone would probably not be completed in two hundred years.

Chen Tingjing, you can rest assured that Daming will invest more funds and technical personnel to participate in oil production.

In the future, crude oil production will gradually expand.

There will be oil wells from Kuwait to Riyadh."

Li Xiao patted Chen Tingjing on the shoulder again.

"That's great!" Chen Tingjing was very excited after receiving Li Xiao's assurance.

Extracting more crude oil means more investment, more money, and a greater improvement in status in the Ming Dynasty.

"How is the security in Basra? I heard that there are Kurdish women who are making trouble and dying together with explosive bags?" Li Xiao turned his eyes to Sun Zhijie.

"That's what happened!

But it's not a Kurdish woman, but an Arab woman.

They kidnapped the children of those women, and those women didn't do what they said.

They would cut off the children's hands and feet, and throw the children with their hands and feet cut off into the desert, where they would be eaten alive by eagles.

Our people have cracked several such cases with very cruel methods."

"Um!

Such things must be widely publicized. Let the Kurds and Arabs confront each other!

Especially those children who died tragically must be photographed and printed in newspapers.

Well... not many Arabs are literate, so you can find someone to read newspapers on the street.

Photos in newspapers should be large and clear.

Without the cover of the Arabs, the Kurds are like lice on a bald man's head, and they can be caught easily!"

Li Xiao thought of the vast ocean of the People's War and began to give Sun Zhijie advice.

"Commander, we have already done this.

But among the Arabs, reading newspapers is less popular. It is more popular to hire bards!

Similar to our Ming Dynasty storytellers!

Instead of issuing a newspaper, the photos were enlarged and given to the bards.

When they rap, they are full of pictures and texts, which is very contagious.

Many times, the onlookers are from three levels inside and three levels outside.

Now the Arabs hate the Kurds so much.

The most popular proverb in Basra says:

If you encounter snakes and Kurds in the desert, be sure to kill the Kurds first.

In the past two months, the attempted bombings we have uncovered were all tipped off by Arabs."

Speaking of this matter, Sun Zhijie was quite proud.

"What happened to those French prisoners of war? Did they really fight against the Kurds?"

Li Xiao suddenly thought of the surrendered French Foreign Legion.

"Don't mention it!

The fighting ability of those black people is scum. I thought I would give them land and some supplies.

They can help us fight against the Kurds!

But I didn't expect that these people would actually give some of the few supplies to the Kurds.

In exchange for peace for the Kurds!

What is even more hateful is that they will kill Arabs and use their heads as the results of the war in exchange for supplies from us.

The place where this group of people was stationed has been corroded by the Kurds like a sieve.

I think all the Kurds have to do is feed them.

These guys will immediately defect to the Kurds!"

Speaking of the Foreign Legion, Sun Zhijie seemed to have been greatly wronged.
