In the office of Emperor Long Yufei, the cabinet officials and military giants gathered together. Everyone had a happy face. The news of a super oil field found in the Persian Gulf made everyone very excited. △↗I originally thought that an oil shortage would soon appear, and the emergence of this super oil field solved the urgent problem!

Although it will take some time for the formal exploitation and subsequent construction of refineries, at most by the end of the year, the oil mined from the Persian Gulf will be transported to China. Once the refinery built in the Persian Gulf is put into production, the country will no longer be troubled by oil problems. This super oil field with a reserve of more than one billion tons will have to be used by the empire for decades!

Of course, the prerequisite is that the empire's demand for oil decades will still be the same as it is now. Otherwise, the demand for oil will become larger and larger, and the oil consumption will be greater. Even oil fields with more than one billion tons will probably not last long.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has come up with a plan. Various equipment for mining oil can be shipped in one week and transported to the Persian Gulf. It is expected that in three months, initial mining will be carried out. By the second half of the year, crude oil will be continuously transported to the country. The oil fields we found in the Persian Gulf are light crude oil, and can basically be used with just a little refining!" Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao had a bright smile on his face.

Although Long Yufei had repeatedly guaranteed that oil shortage would never happen. But he was still a little worried. Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary, which proves that Long Yufei's vision has never had any problems. You should know that because the demand for oil is getting bigger and bigger, the price of oil is about two Huayuan per ton. A reserve of one billion tons is equivalent to two billion Huayuan! The difficulty of oil extraction in the Persian Gulf region is very small and the cost is very low. This makes the profit of mining oil here very high. If refined oil is made and sold, the profit will be higher.

The oil exploration team heading to the Persian Gulf was jointly dispatched by the imperial emperor and government, so the shares also belong to the emperor and government. The benefits of this oil field alone are undoubtedly very considerable. The empire's finances will undoubtedly become richer and richer, and many things that cannot be done due to lack of money are no longer a problem now. The empire's economic development will also accelerate, and the empire's strength will continue to increase.

"Prime Minister, Professor Li and others have only initially estimated that the reserves of this oil field are more than one billion tons. However, in my opinion, there is no problem in the reserves of this oil field to be mined for only two billion tons. However, this must be kept confidential." Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Twenty billion tons?" Lin Zihao was stunned. However, he looked ecstatic afterwards. The larger the reserves of this oil field, the more beneficial it is to the empire! If the reserves double, the profits obtained will definitely be twice as high as before.

"This is just an oil field. There are still many such oil fields in the Persian Gulf and Iraq. However, these oil fields can be explored first, but cannot be developed. It is already eye-catching if one oil field is found. If other oil fields are found, our enemies will definitely not be able to sit still!" Long Yufei's expression on his face was a little solemn. The Persian Gulf and the entire Iraq were the dowry of the princess of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The empire only paid more than 100 million Huayuan weapons, equipment, machinery and other industrial products. Now, the super oilfield discovered in Bugege alone is worth more than 2 billion Huayuan. After the Ottoman Turkish Empire learned the news, it will definitely have red eyes. As for whether they will drive out the dispatched troops to seize it, Long Yufei cannot guarantee it.

Of course, Long Yufei believed that as long as the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul Maijid I was not clamped by the door, he would not act rashly. Who told them to agree to transfer the Persian Gulf and Iraq to the Empire? Otherwise, the Empire would not have taken such a big advantage. Of course, if Abdul Maijid I had a fever and sent troops into the Persian Gulf, then the war between the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire would inevitably break out. There would be no friendship between Long Yufei and Abdul Maijid I, the father-in-law and son-in-law.

It has only been more than a year since the end of the World War. Although the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has improved a lot after this year of development. However, if it is to confront the Chinese Empire, it is simply not enough.

"Well, your majesty! If that's the case, then our oil exploration in the Persian Gulf must be kept confidential. In addition, we also need to send troops to the Persian Gulf to station these oil fields, otherwise, once other countries have any ideas, we will be out of reach!" Lin Zihao said solemnly. The oil there is now the wealth of the empire. If other countries want to snatch it, it means war.

Long Yufei nodded, and then he summoned the Chief of Staff, the Army, the Navy and the Foreign Minister to discuss the protection of oil resources in the Persian Gulf.

"Everyone, the discovery of oil fields in the Persian Gulf is undoubtedly a great thing for us. However, the ancients said it well and the wealth is not revealed. It is just that we want to completely keep the discovery of super oil fields in the Persian Gulf. It is almost impossible. What we have to do now is to make other countries dare not have any thoughts about it. Even if they send troops to snatch it, we must completely defeat them and crush their attack!" Long Yufei said solemnly. With the continuous use of internal combustion engines, the consumption of oil will become greater and greater. It can be said that whoever controls oil resources will control the world. These ministers of the empire all know this truth. Long Yufei only needs a little click and they will know what to do.

"Your Majesty, this is not said. Since the Persian Gulf and Iraq have been transferred to the Empire, it is the territory of the Empire. The oil buried underground is also the Empire. Even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to repent, it is absolutely impossible. Unless they really dare to go to war with the Empire. If they really have the courage, the Empire can definitely destroy the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Army Minister Sun Hao, Army Marshal, said immediately.

"Yes, Marshal Sun Hao is right. Whoever dares to move the oil in the Persian Gulf is to be an enemy of the Empire. The Empire must not spare them lightly!" Marshal Wei Yong, the Minister of Navy, also said. The navy's warships have now been replaced by oil-fired boilers, which greatly improves the range and speed of the warships. The navy's warships are all oil tigers. If the oil resources in the Persian Gulf are robbed, where will the navy find oil?

"Well! I am very satisfied with everyone's confidence. I don't need to say anything about the importance of the Persian Gulf to the empire. I want to tell you that the Persian Gulf has a lot of oil, and the Bugege oil field is just one of many oil fields. There are many oil fields there, and many of them have no less reserves than the Bugege oil field!" Long Yufei continued.

After hearing Long Yufei's words, everyone's breathing became a little heavy. They all knew the value of a Bugee Oilfield. If there were many oilfields like Bugeee, what it meant would be even more clear.

"In a very vivid sentence, as long as the empire controls the Persian Gulf, then the empire can control world hegemony for hundreds of years!"

"Your Majesty, the empire must make every effort to ensure control of the Persian Gulf, even if it is another world war, it will be spared!" Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao said the first.

Originally, the ministers of the cabinet were extremely disgusted with the military launching war. However, in order to protect the resources of the Persian Gulf, the cabinet did not hesitate to launch wars, which shows that the cabinet has fully understood the importance of oil resources in the Persian Gulf.

"The Ottoman Turkish Empire should not have the courage to go to war with the empire. Even if they regret it, they would not have the courage to go to war. At least they do not have the courage at this stage. As for the Germans, they must be very coveting the oil in the Persian Gulf. However, they are beyond the reach of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"They may not have the courage now, but once the empire goes to war with the Germans, or if Germany and the Ottoman Turkish Empire collude together, it may be possible. Therefore, the empire needs to station troops in the Persian Gulf to ensure the security of the empire there. In addition, the Arabs living there also need to be guarded against, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not be provoked by other countries and attack the empire's oil refineries and oil fields!" Long Yufei said solemnly. Not to mention anything else, if the oil field is destroyed by the Arabs, the empire will have to pay a huge price.

"Well! Your Majesty, we must station troops in the Persian Gulf. However, the climate conditions there are not very good, and there are not many troops we can station." said General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Staff.

"The Navy deploys a squadron in the Persian Gulf! Ensure the safety of the maritime transportation line from the Persian Gulf to the empire's homeland. In addition, the Marine Corps deploys a brigade near the oil field, and its main task is to prevent the attacks of the destructive elements on the oil field and suppress the resistance of the local Arabs. As for the army, an infantry army can be deployed in Iraq. I think that as long as the people of the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not lose their minds, they would not rashly launch an attack on the Persian Gulf. In this way, we can deploy calmly!" Long Yufei thought for a while, and then said. The Middle East is not only hot, but also lacks fresh water. It is indeed a chore to garrison there. However, for the benefit of the empire, this must be done. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
