"But do we really need this oil detection instrument? The Japanese have been searching for decades in Yanhuang and haven't found a drop of oil!"
Zhou Nian knew that oil was precious, but the Japanese could not find it, which showed that Yanhuang was really an oil-poor country.
"Just because the Japs haven't found it doesn't mean we don't have oil. It could also be because they're not good enough. Just look for it slowly when you have it!"
Wen Gu knew where the oil in Yanhuang was, so he had the confidence to say so.
Zhou Nian spread his hands and asked, "Who is going to find him?"
"Hey, that's a good question, why don't you go with me?" Wen Gu said dumbly.
"Haha, it's better not to use it. I'll report it to the logistics headquarters and ask them to send someone to find it.
It's just that our base area is too small and not very stable. Even if we find it, all parties will definitely cause trouble! "
After Zhou Nian became the deputy director of the logistics headquarters, he learned a lot about this aspect and was no longer the deputy director who knew nothing before.
Wen Gu took out a map and handed it over, "Hand this in with the equipment. It's their business to find it or not!"
The map Wen Gu took out was a map of oil reserves in the entire northern region, with many places marked on it, such as the recent Yanchang of Qin Province and Jiaozuo of Jin Province.
Zhou Nian looked at the dense markings on the map and asked in shock:
"Is all this marked oil?"
"if not?"
"Then why haven't any Japanese been found?" Zhou Nian was puzzled.
"Who knows? Maybe it's the ancestors who have blessed me!" Wen Gu said jokingly.
Zhou Nian read it carefully, memorized some of the nearest places, then returned the map to Wen Gu, and said seriously:
"This map is too precious. Take it all out now. If other forces find out, the consequences will be too serious, so you should keep it yourself.
When the people from the logistics headquarters come over, we can just tell them the nearest location! "Wen Gu was right to think about it. It was too much for the Eighth Route Army to digest at one time.
Zhou Zhounian saw his old friend and put the map away before continuing,
"Even if we find the oil, there's no way to dig it out, and we still have to smelt it!"
"It's none of your business. I've already contacted the American consortium. They will help me transport some outdated equipment, but it will definitely work."
"Are you doing business with an American consortium?" Zhou Nian knew that Wen Gu was very capable, but he didn't expect that he would be so wild.
Wen Gu said funny, "What's the point? As long as there is money in this world, there will always be someone to make it!"
"No, this is too big. I have to contact the logistics headquarters quickly!" Zhou Nian said and was about to leave.
Wen Gu originally wanted to discuss the issue of Eighth Route Army fire support with Zhou Nian, but seeing him running away in a hurry, he had no choice but to give up!
After receiving the telegram from Zhou Nian, Zhang Lei, deputy director of the Yanzhou Logistics Headquarters, said in disbelief,
"Oil detection equipment? What's the use of this thing to us? Didn't the Japanese say that our country, Yanhuang, is an oil-poor country?"
"An oil-poor country? Is that what the Japanese say? Lao Zhang, I'm not telling you. Vice Minister Zhou found the oil detection equipment for us wholeheartedly.
We should arrange for experts to see if the thing can be used. If it can be used, then arrange for experts to find it. I have a vast land with abundant resources, but I don’t believe that oil cannot be found! "
Qin Zhen, the head of the logistics headquarters, looked at Zhang Lei with dissatisfaction and said righteously.
Zhang Lei also knew that there was something wrong with his words, so he couldn't help but apologize and explain,
"Oil exploration is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I'm afraid these experts will have problems when the time comes!"
"Something went wrong? Do you know how many times Professor Li has called me? Just for this equipment, we now have trucks and various production equipment, and the demand for oil is rising.
Now that Vice Minister Zhou has found something, he must use it! "
Qin Zhen said and arranged for his secretary to invite Professor Li over.
Before Li Qunying entered the door, he asked anxiously, "Minister Qin, I heard that the oil detection equipment has been found. I wonder where it is?"
Qin Zhen invited Li Qunying to sit down on a chair, and then asked seriously: "Professor Li, do you think we really have oil in Yanhuang?"
Li Qunying looked at Qin Zhen's anxious eyes, and her incomprehension towards him dissipated a little. He patted his chest and said seriously,
"Minister Qin, I can guarantee with my life that there is definitely oil in Yanhuang. I have done research on the geology of areas where foreign oil can be exploited.
Our country has such geological terrain. There is no reason why other countries can produce oil, but our Yanhuang underground does not have it! "
After Qin Zhen heard Li Qunying's words, he felt a little calmer. The Japanese's remarks were really scary.
In the eyes of Yanhuang people, whether they admit it or not, the technological level of Xiaozhi is higher than that of Yanhuang, so they say that Yanhuang is an oil-poor country, which makes many Yanhuang people discouraged!
Qin Zhen then explained to Li Qunying: "The 129th Division Independent Brigade, the deputy director of the Logistics Department, Zhou Nian, found a set of oil detection equipment.
So I hope you can take your team to Shannan to get the equipment early and start work early. What do you think? "
Needless to say? Professor Li stood up immediately, "Minister Qin, I will take the team and set off immediately!"
"Wait a minute," Qin Zhen grabbed Li Qunying who was about to leave, "Professor Li, I will contact the security forces immediately and ask them to protect you. This road will not be peaceful!"
Li Qunying couldn't wait. He really wanted to get the equipment and start working early, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"Minister Qin, you need to make arrangements faster, I can't wait any longer!"
In the afternoon of that day, a group of dozens of people set off from Yanzhou to the base area of Jin Province.
After Zhou Nian contacted the logistics department, he came to the place where Wen Gu kept supplies. It was also a cave, not as big as an arsenal.
But the place is hidden and dry, making it perfect for stocking up on supplies.
Zhou Nian knew that Wen Gu had always been generous in doing things, so he was mentally prepared for the situation of supplies, but after going over to see it, he was still scared.
He pointed at the boxes of supplies and said, "Is this what you found? I didn't see a convoy returning to Black Wind Mountain. How did you transport it back?"
"That's a good question," Wen Gu thought for a while and explained: "It's similar to the equipment in an arsenal. You can go and go on your own!"
Zhou Nian was silent. He had not thought about the equipment in the arsenal at the beginning. Since Wen Gu didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions.
Then he pointed to the shell of the Nagato battleship, with the name clearly written on it, his eyes filled with shock.
"This...couldn't this be...?"
"Yes, it's what you think!" Wen Gu gave him a positive answer.
"The Japanese battleship Nagato? Did you dismantle it like this?"
