Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 405 Energy Issues

If the current oil is not enough, Mao Yuanshan is considering whether to exploit an oil field. There is also a medium-sized oil field near Duolun, and the annual output can basically reach more than 100 million tons.

But think about the historical situation of that era and suppress it. If the Japanese devils really knew that there was a medium-sized oil field here, yes, a large oil field of that era, that is, this output, if the Japanese knew about it, it would definitely be very attractive to them. It is very likely that they would change their strategy and no longer go south or north, but concentrate the whole country's strength to attack the Chahar local government. At that time, they would really cry.

Anyway, the current energy is basically sufficient, and it is not yet time to open it. However, if the oil field really needs to be opened because of war, there is nothing we can do about it.

The oil field does not need to be opened immediately, but this coal mine is really not enough now.

Not to mention how much coal is used in Mao Yuanshan's coal-to-oil production, even the newly built steel plant requires a huge amount of coal every day. Hundreds of trucks are constantly transporting coal to the steel plant, and this is because the steel plant is built next to a coal mine. Otherwise, the transportation pressure would be even greater.

Mining equipment can be imported directly from Germany. Mao Yuanshan wanted to import a complete set of equipment for a mechanical processing plant, but the Germans did not have such extra equipment.

It is not a good idea to import all the things from others, but at this stage there is no other way except importing from Germans, unless you can make it yourself. In fact, the Americans have a lot of excess processing equipment. After the world financial crisis, many American factories are on the verge of bankruptcy, and they have no ability to continue working. Unfortunately, there is no contact with the Americans now.

If this kind of mining machinery and equipment is to be manufactured, there must be a machinery processing plant. Mao Yuanshan does not expect to be able to manufacture a full set of mining equipment right away, but some simple things should be able to be manufactured. When this was mentioned to Germany, Germany also expressed their difficulties. Although they very much wanted to help the Chinese, unfortunately they did not have the production capacity now.

There are not enough mechanical processing equipment in Germany now, and they are preparing to stockpile them. Mao Yuanshan also knows the reason. Although they did not explain it explicitly, it is basically clear. Now it is 1939. According to the original historical course, they should start preparing to start a war.

For them, nothing is more valuable than those mechanical equipment at this time. When the war starts, those mechanical equipment can be immediately converted from civilian use to military use to produce a large amount of weapons and ammunition for them.

It seems that the whole world is going to be in unrest. The response from the Germans reminded Mao Yuanshan of the history of this period. It is already like this in Asia, and there will be no changes in a short period of time. In Europe, it will cause drastic changes in the whole world. The head of state with a small mustache is preparing to take action against Western Europe.

In fact, at this stage, the development of Chahar region has been very rapid. A large number of mechanical equipment returned from the Soviet Union have not yet been installed. If they are installed, a large number of military and civilian products can be produced.

There were also many skilled workers in the country who had returned from studying in Germany. When they saw this batch of industrial equipment from the Soviet Union, they all frowned.

In their opinion, these equipments were too old and could not be compared with the latest German equipments. Just like the coal mining equipments, the German equipments could mine about 35 tons of coal per hour, but the Soviet equipments could not even reach half of theirs and needed twice as many workers.

However, Mao Yuanshan also told them that in this era, one should not be picky. It is already very good to have these things. Anything that can remove pus is a good plaster. Originally you had nothing, but now you have a group of backward ones.

"Our government building is really magnificent. It looks like it's almost catching up with the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing!" In this era, the working ability of the Chinese people is really astonishing. In just about three months, the Chahar Provincial Government Building was built. The original three-story building is almost nowhere to be found now, and it has been replaced by a six-story building designed entirely by Germans.

"It was not originally completed so quickly, but in order to welcome back our great hero, I asked the people below to work overtime, and now it is finally completed. Please ask the commander-in-chief to inspect it." Wang Bin is now the steward of the entire Chahar. He is in charge of the affairs on this side. When he saw Mao Yuanshan coming back, he came out of the building with a smile. He should have gone to the airport to greet him, but because things here were too complicated, he did not go after obtaining Mao Yuanshan's permission.

Mao Yuanshan has always told them that these trivial things can happen at ordinary times, but they must not affect the work. If they affect the work, no matter how well you do these welcoming and seeing off things, it will be useless and you will still be punished. Now the atmosphere of the entire Chahar base is better, and their main work will not be affected by these welcoming and seeing off things.

It's just like welcoming Mr. Baili at the airport. The two of them can also discuss many things on the way, which means they can welcome and work at the same time.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang Baili is only responsible for a major direction here, and some other small matters are handed over to his subordinates. After all, he is very old, and if he does everything himself, his body may not be able to bear it. This is also what Mao Yuanshan instructed, and Mr. Jiang Baili should not be allowed to worry too much.

Mao Yuanshan understood very well that an old man in the family is like a treasure. It was precisely because of this that he cherished Mr. Jiang Baili very much. If Mr. Jiang Baili was in poor health, it was very likely that the entire Chahar staff system would collapse.

When I went to Nanjing to invite him back, he was just a senior staff officer without real power in the Ministry of National Defense. However, after I invited him back, the Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense was still paralyzed for a long time. From this we can see the role of Mr. Jiang Baili. If I let her work too hard now, it will definitely not be worth it.
