Canteen System Assistance Notes

This kind of practical experience can be said to be the best in the country at that time. It is richer than the combined drilling experience of genuine geologists and petroleum experts such as Qin Kegong, Sun Ziqian, and Yan Shuang. Even genuine geology PhDs who graduated from Belgian universities respect him very much.

So, he knew what was needed to dig a new oil well.

"Previously, geologists Qin Kegong and Sun Ziqian had visited Yumen and had nearly determined the well site, but they lacked the drilling rig and equipment, and had no drilling capacity. At that time, Vice Chairman Zhou personally visited our well team and brought Minister Weng with him to see us. He also asked me about oil well drilling."

"I asked Minister Weng at the time, 'Is there a way to get in? Is there water?'" Chen Zhenxia complained, patting the side of the truck. "But Minister Weng threw up his hands and said, 'No, there's nothing. No water, no way out.' He even said there weren't any gas cans."

"When I went to Yanchang in 37, I was accompanied by infrastructure soldiers! Those college students with glasses, along with the surveying soldiers, helped Yanchang measure a road and planned the pumping station and canal. Otherwise, the two new wells we put into production in 38 would have been in trouble. In Yumen, there are no roads, so we had to build them ourselves; there are no rivers, so we had to dig wells; there are no gasoline barrels, but some preserved fruits were sent here. As a result, we are short of general workers now, so we have to recruit them ourselves.

"You know, when I first arrived here, the entire Yumen Oilfield consisted of only Mr. Ren and a few girls! It was just the scientists Ren and their families. How could they mine?"

He shook his head,

"Forget the workers' salaries. Even Expert Qin's salary isn't paid, and it has to be paid out of our accounts."

"Didn't they say a company injected capital? What's its name? Some kind of Cynopac Company, and the shareholder is a Chinese! ^" Master Yu replied. The drivers on the Northwest Road are like mobile information broadcasters these days. All kinds of news and anecdotes from all over the country are spread everywhere through them.

Thanks to his past experience with German explorers and a group of Tsinghua University faculty and students, Master Yu had a certain understanding of foreign codes. A subsidiary company was established specifically for oil field development, but the English name was too long and complicated, so he only remembered the simple "CEC" and the more memorable "Harmonious Mining."

"The Harmonious Mining Company involved in the Yumen development said that our Eighth Route Army contributed 25% of the shares, the Investment Committee contributed 5% for manpower, and the remaining 70% was contributed by the Synopex company."

"Bah, what Chinese, what Americans? I heard that he has dual citizenship of the United States and Britain. He is not Chinese. He is not as revolutionary as those new British engineers! He is a serious member of the British Party...

"It's not bad, considering that he was born abroad and didn't forget to build the motherland. - In short, in the mine now, apart from those few clear-headed geological experts, Guo Jian can't help at all. We have to do it ourselves!"

The wind whistled outside, and for a moment, no one inside responded. Since they were both on the same page, the straightforward Chen Zhenxia didn't think much of it and simply let the conversation die down.

Yu Weifu swallowed the tasteless tea. On the northwest passage, various forces were mixed and intertwined. Although the road protection team acted in groups and had a majestic aura when they gathered together, they could not completely

He had completely broken away from the local forces and completed the 2,000-kilometer trek completely on his own. The Yumen Oilfield was one of the few important oil supply points in the Northwest Corridor outside the border areas and Xinjiang Province.

After all, this is not a border area, a place where people can relax and drive without distractions. Now that Yumen has produced oil, according to the nature of the preserved fruit group, even if they only hold 5 points of the shares now, they will definitely find a way to seek legal action.

Hands coming in...

In such a situation, what position would the local national army occupy? What role would the railway protection team play? What should Captain Qiu, his young apprentice, and his old body do?

Yu Weifu had seen a lot of things, having driven cars along Jinniu Road and the Northwest Corridor for years. However, after working with the Eighth Route Army for several years, he had unknowingly put himself in their shoes.

"Master, over there in front,

The disciple's voice broke the silence. Wang Shunfeng pointed at the column of smoke rising from the foothills ahead of the road and asked, "Is that it over there?"

Hey! Yes, right over there!

Chen Zhenxia poked his head out of the truck bed, looked around, and confirmed, "Look! The distillation tower and drilling rig over there must be our site!"

"It's like running to the mountain and the horse dies. It will take at least half an hour to get there!"

The experienced Yu Weifu replied that seeing the destination and actually arriving were very different in the Northwest. He gave his apprentice some instructions, asking him to follow the lead car's instructions and enter the site in order. But at this moment,

The voice of the commander of the lead vehicle came from the car's small radio:

"Car No. 46, Master Yu, Master Yu, please take note. Director Chen from the oil mine is in your car, right? There's a Ford car over there that will be coming over soon. Go pick him up first. Pull over to the side of the road, drop him off, and then catch up with the rear of the team.

car."

"what's up?"

"Director Chen, this thing only listens, it can't exhale."

Master Yu frowned, "I guess I have something urgent to talk to you about."

Chapter 241 - The Combat Power of the Oil Field

"What's going on?"

A Ford A car rushed onto the earthen embankment of Laojun Temple, drove quickly all the way, and stopped in front of a bungalow.

Director Chen jumped out of the car and walked in through the door. The three people in the room looked up at him.

"What's going on?" he asked briefly. "What's the hurry?"

"Director Chen, the telegram just now.

Among the three, Yan Shuang is Chen Zhenxia's old colleague. They worked together in Yanchang Oilfield and have cooperated for a long time. Yan Shuang also joined the party under the introduction of Comrade Zhou Bin. "Look, it was sent by Minister Weng. He used the 'convenient' that the Central Committee gave him last time."

Sign a one-time password. "Continue-update q@q@group@book@collection@81317*5933

When Chen Zhenxia mentioned this, his brows finally furrowed into an inverted 川 character. Only a few people knew about the password of this note. It was a "tacit understanding" between the scholars of the Investment Committee and the Eighth Route Army. This password is actually a set of codes.

They are arranged in a certain order and become invalid after one use, just like the kind of sticky notes that you write on one page and then tear off the next. Now that I have used this, trouble is definitely coming.

"The pig has reached out, his feet in iron boots, the moon is crescent, huh, huh... This code is really troublesome, neither clear nor literal."

Normal telegrams at that time were often very brief, using very few words, especially after being coded, making deciphering their true meaning quite difficult. Chen Zhenxia closed his eyes, pressed his temples, and struggled to translate.

The general meaning of this telegram is: some troublemakers have already set out, and they have brought troops with them, and are heading towards Yumen. They set out about a month ago, around May 20th, so everyone needs to pay attention.

"What is a pig?"

"It's Zhu Liuxian." Sun Ziqian beside him reminded him. This former geologist from the Construction Department of Shanxi Province knew a little bit about preserved fruits. "But the chairman of the Military Commission's Advisory Office, the secretary general of the Party and State Executive Committee, and the Minister of Organization

Well, it's quite popular!

"That!" Chen Zhenxia finally remembered, "Huh, didn't he say before that our land is uninhabited, with poor mountains and rivers, and there is no oil to be extracted, and even if we can extract the oil, we can't refine it, and even if we can refine it, we can't transport it out? Is it because of these

The loan to the mine was denied for a false reason. If it weren't for that kind-hearted overseas Chinese who invested, how could we have opened the oil field?

"Tsk! He's a geology expert who graduated from Europe! How dare he spout such nonsense? - Now that our Well No. 1 has an industrial blowout, why is he rushing over here to mess things up?"

"Isn't it because we've developed an industrial stream and refined gasoline and diesel that they're coming here? What should we do? If we let those clueless people come here, our oil wells, our workers...?"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a pig!"

Zhu Liuxian was the director of the Advisory Office of the Military Commission of the National Government, the Secretary-General of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang and the Chairman of the Party Affairs Committee, the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the Acting Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Three People's Principles Youth League, and also served as

He served as the Minister of the Central Organization Department of the Kuomintang and the Acting President of the Central Research Institute of the National Government. In addition, he also worked as the Minister of Education of the Executive Yuan of the National Government and the Director of the Postal Inspection Bureau. Oh, if Zhejiang Province had not fallen, he would also have

Chairman of Zhejiang Province: Wow, if his position was made into a medal and hung on the body, it could probably be used as a bulletproof vest.

In other words, he was a man who held many positions, including Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee, Minister of State Security, Acting Secretary of the Youth League, Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Minister of Education. He was deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek.

's "super celebrity".

However, based on Chiang Kai-shek's traditional and classical imperial methods, this popular man had no foundation in the army and no financial resources of his own. He was like a tree without roots and water without a source. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek was able to control this man.

He has the ambition to develop himself into the "Zhu family" and use it as a banner to check and balance other forces such as former Vice Chairman Wang and the CC faction.

So, knowing this information, the four people in the conference room can basically guess the purpose and means of the visitor.

"First of all, we must be sure of one thing. Zhu will definitely not come alone. A guy as popular as him will definitely not leave the center of power." Geologist Qin Kegong was the first to express his opinion. "He will definitely send a representative, and then someone will lead

Soldiers, probably not the soldiers of the next door commander Tao. If they move over there, the company will definitely inform us in advance.'

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would a leisurely young man like him come to the mine?" Although he was not in the management team in name, all the technical details of the mining in Yumenli had basically been handled by Director Chen.

Unconsciously, he also unconsciously became the focus of the discussion here. "Zhu Liuxian has a big name and a lot of publicity, but he has no big soldiers. Where is he going to find people to rob us?"

"I think he's going to kick you three out and put you in his own big group to take over our management!"

Everyone nodded. There was already a Soviet-style oil well in production at the mine. The equipment and team were brought directly from Dushanzi. There were also two augers provided by the border area and a set of Hughes drilling sets purchased by Synopec.

The workers who were working on the project, along with the general laborers, numbered two to three thousand. If Zhu wanted to just rob them, as long as Tao Jichang nearby didn't mobilize his entire army, the workers' picket team would be able to throw all his men into the Gobi Desert to feed the wolves.

Not to mention the road guards who regularly travel on the Northwest Passage... They have a transport group of more than 300 vehicles and more than 1,000 people. Although most of them are drivers, they have all received military training and are fully armed. If a fight really breaks out,

Hey! It's still unclear who will win or lose!

The secure feeling of having the ultimate force in hand made Factory Director Chen Zhenxia very confident.

The atmosphere was a little more relaxed. Thinking that the disaster of the oil field being seized would not happen in the end, the three geologists and petroleum experts put down their hanging hearts. Compared with Director Chen, who had rich experience in struggle, or who had been in the political arena for many years,

Minister Weng, these three scholars are still not used to this kind of struggle of open robbery and covert theft.

"Director Chen, oh, it suddenly occurred to me, we don't have to worry too much, our Yumen Oilfield is also a 'foreign-funded enterprise'!" Old partner Yan Shuang suddenly slammed the table, as if he had realized something, "Our major shareholder is an American

Oh, and an Englishman!"

"Yes, there are Soviets and British people in our mine!" Sun Ziqian also reacted, "The officials of the preserved fruit factory are so bossy to us, but they are all cowards when it comes to foreigners!

"As long as those foreigners, oh, foreign comrades are willing to help, I think, as long as they stand facing the gate, the people sent by Zhu Liuxian will definitely tremble!"

"How can they be called foreigners? Not to mention the Soviets, those from Britain are all genuine Communists. How could they use deep-set eyes and high noses to block the way?"

Chen Zhenxia was a little unhappy when he mentioned those good workers who acted as shields. In his opinion, those Soviet comrades came all the way from Xinjiang to help without saying anything, which was very noble; and those British comrades,

But those who have traveled thousands of miles to support our construction, and many of them have even been to Spain as volunteer soldiers, must be people with nobler sentiments.

However, the workers' pickets in the mine were organized into companies. Although the workers had to receive military training and shoot during their rest time, they were busy with drilling before, so their training level was only very good.

It's just so-so, let alone participating in actual combat - the closest thing the patrol team has ever done to actual combat is probably shooting and driving away wolves last month.

Many of my British comrades have been to Spain, and I heard some even fought in the last war...

Do you want to ask them for advice?

Chapter 242 The Communist Party Present

As the only major oil field that accounted for 95% of China's oil production at the time, Yumen was actually an oil well very suitable for "newcomers to the oil industry." Its burial depth was shallow, the oil was concentrated, and the oil quality was excellent, making it easy to smelt.

It requires little investment, and some well locations can even achieve "three productions in one well" by drilling sequentially.

In history, even with such poor production capacity as preserved fruit, it was possible to achieve an annual output of 10 tons in the absence of investment, personnel, roads, and equipment. After our party took over the system development, the Yumen Oilfield quickly

The production capacity was increased, reaching a peak of 140 million tons/year and a stable output of about 60 tons/year, until its gradual depletion in the 90s and deep development after the new century.

In this time and space, the development of Yumen Oilfield was able to avoid the situation of "not allowing foreign investment but not approving investment and equipment" because of the intervention of a troublemaker "overseas Chinese".

If we invest, we will no longer face the historical dilemma of not being able to ship finished oil in barrels.

The Harmony Mining subsidiary of the Sinopec Oil Company first purchased a set of regular Soviet drilling equipment that was idle in Dushanzi, Xinjiang Province, and put it into drilling. It also "targeted" recruited the most experienced oil development team in China, the "Yanchang Well"

At the same time, they also "posted a call for heroes" internationally, recruiting "people who are sympathetic and responsible to the war against China" to come and help with the development.

To put it simply, Liu Helian did exceed the task set by the Central Committee to "win the opportunity for the organization to enter Yumen and develop tickets." He not only called in pro-communist people, but also called in a large group of Communists to come and develop Yumen.

So, the current Yumen Oilfield is roughly like this:

The management team consisted of three geologists: Sun Ziqian, Yan Shuang, and Qin Kegong. They worked alongside the Eighth Route Army's surveying team and workers, using a set of American-made Hughes fast-drilling equipment to explore and test-drill the area outlined by Comrade Xiao Liu's divine pen, identifying well locations for subsequent oilfield development.

Among them, Yan Shuang was a party member introduced by Comrade Zhou Bin, Qin Kegong participated in the peasant uprising in Henan Province and was a member of the local Red Organization, while Sun Ziqian previously worked in the Construction Department of Shanxi Province and later followed Mobil in oil exploration in the northwest.

After enduring countless disputes and internal struggles, and witnessing a lot of corruption and filth, he was greatly impressed by the efficiency of the Communist Party, and then he directly joined the Eighth Route Army.

Here, there is a Communist Party, a peripheral organization of the Communist Party, a pro-communist element, and a suspected Communist Party member.

The technical level is controlled by the "Extension Well Team" of the Eighth Route Army, led by Director Chen Zhenxia, ​​who operates two sets of spiral drills to drill wells at the designated well locations and operates the Laojun Temple Refinery. This team has already drilled seven or eight stable production wells and eliminated the donkey-powered kowtow machine.

Although the team that built the earth-built cylinder distillation tower cannot compare with a real oil company, it is one of the best oil development teams in China and has experienced the entire process from crude oil to various refined oil products.

Here, Chen Zhenxia is a regular party member, and among other workers, there are many party members, probationary party members and activists, and there is even an advanced party branch.

Foreign aid came from AP Petroleum, a non-controlling shareholder of Sinopac, and the Soviet Union. Needless to say, the Soviets, and because of Rao Shiquan's recruitment of workers in the UK and Liu Helian's rescue of people in the United States, the British side "always created trouble" in the country.

All the "troublesome" Communists were packed up and "dispatched" to the Sinopec Oil Company, and they frantically hinted to the Eighth Route Army that it would be better not to let them come back.

Here, Comrade Liu picked and chose and found nearly 40 "worker aristocrats" with experience in oil field development, coal mining, electrical engineering and thermal pipelines. Except for a few veterans and two AP experts, most of them were English.

People from the Communist Party, the Scottish Communist Party, and the Red Bank (British Red Organization).

As for the grassroots workers...the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University has already established a Yumen branch here, which is known as the "Yumen Petroleum School" to the outside world. It spreads red ideas among the workers' groups. This is a traditional skill of the Communist Party since before its birth. How could it be left behind?

If we round it off this way, the entire Yumen, from equity to operating rights, to management rights and technical control, both real and virtual, in front of and behind the scenes, is all "red".

After discussing the general direction, Director Chen Zhenxia immediately convened a Party Committee meeting of oilfield workers in the name of the Yumen Oilfield Management Office. Representatives from various Party branches and employees, as well as representatives from the British Communist Party, attended the meeting.

As soon as the situation was explained, the audience in the meeting hall became lively.

Needless to say, the party members among the employees, some non-party employee representatives have experienced the hardship of foremen exploiting wages, lack of protection for work-related injuries, and lack of attention to labor safety, and they cherish their time working in the Eighth Route Army factory.

The ordinary laborers recruited from the surrounding villages also had a simple feeling of gratitude because they could provide three meals a day, two sets of work clothes and physical examinations. They hoped to help the Eighth Route Army to stop those "old people who don't let people live a good life" and

Lord".

As the mood got heated, all sorts of ideas started popping up: Someone suggested that we go all out and simply send a telegram to the central government to ask the next passing railway guards to bring their weapons, expand the patrol team, and arm all of them.

Some people said that the oil field was located deep in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, and that they only needed to set up checkpoints at the exit from the main road to make the cars driven by the other party have tires blown out, and they would be unable to move. Others said that

Even if Guosi sent a new class leader, as long as we didn't provide him with water and food, he would have to run away in a short while.

After putting aside some Showa-inspired, inexplicable fantasies and overly weird suggestions, some more reliable suggestions gradually emerged.

First, the patrol teams, originally responsible for internal oilfield security, needed to be expanded and upgraded to become worker security teams capable of effectively defending the factory complex. Even if direct firing wasn't an option, retaining a last resort of force was essential.
