Chapter 1849 Oil Crisis

Doolittle was still unwilling to give in. He thought for a while and then said: "General, even if we have no reason to interrupt Mao Xiong's assistance, we can still use the Japanese submarine blockade as an excuse..."

"What if Mao Xiong takes over the protection of these cruise ships and takes responsibility for it himself?" The admiral replied: "This is an excuse to deceive the Eighth Route Army. Their coastal defense regiment is too weak to escort the cruise ships, but Mao Xiong is different!"

Doolittle was speechless.

After a while, Doolittle asked again: "Then, we have to sit back and watch the bears provide fuel for the Eighth Route Army?"

Another meaning of Doolittle's words is that this is how China can get rid of Yingjiang's control?

"Don't worry, Jimmy!" the admiral replied: "This is just a deal between the Eighth Route Army and the Bear. A deal, do you understand?"

Doolittle looked confused, not knowing what the admiral was referring to.

The admiral explained: "A transaction means that it is only temporary. For example, the Eighth Route Army purchased 3000 million barrels of oil for a new fighter jet. These 3000 million barrels of oil are enough for the Eighth Route Army to use for one year..."

Doolittle immediately understood what the admiral meant: "And oil is long-term, and the Eighth Route Army's fuel will still be in trouble a year later!"

"Yes!" the admiral said confidently: "Mao Xiong's provision of so much fuel to the Eighth Route Army is only for a short period of time. After the war, Mao Xiong itself also needs to develop industry and military industry. It is impossible for them to continue to provide a large amount of fuel for the development of the Eighth Route Army! If it can, that’s not necessarily a bad thing!”

Doolittle understood this.

There is only so much fuel for Mao Xiong. The Baku Oilfield has limited oil production, which is enough to supply Mao Xiong for its own development.

If Mao Xiong can "sacrifice himself for others" and supply the Eighth Route Army without development, it means that Mao Xiong will be weak enough to become Yingjiang's opponent.

So this is actually a good thing for Eagle Sauce.

But if Mao Xiong is unwilling to "sacrifice himself for others," Yingjiang does not need to worry about the Eighth Route Army. A year later, the Eighth Route Army will once again be in a dilemma of fuel shortage.

At that time, the war was probably not over yet or had just ended. When the Eighth Route Army was about to face the stubborn army and there was no fuel... wouldn't it be just right?

"So!" said Doolittle, "we don't have to do anything?"

"No need to do anything!" The admiral smiled: "It seems that the Eighth Route Army did not realize that oil is a long-term strategic material. It has to make long-term plans. This is not a one or two-year reserve. It can solve the problem! What’s more, with the development of the country’s industry, more and more oil will be consumed in the future, which cannot be supplied by the amount of oil that Mao Xiong can afford!”

After a pause, the admiral said with some regret: "What surprised me is that I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would actually be willing to use new fighter planes to trade with Mao Xiong. In this way... we may have to face the problem of Mao Xiong's production. A large number of swept-wing fighters with a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour!"

Doolittle was startled, and then realized that he had been focusing on the Eighth Route Army and almost ignored the more powerful opponent.

The admiral walked to the window and looked out at the seascape. He looked at the seagulls flying freely in the sky and sighed: "This is a good move made by the Eighth Route Army. It seems that the Chinese regiment commander knows how to fight between us and Mao Zedong." There’s a balance between bears!”

Doolittle felt the same way.

Selling the new fighter jet to Mao Xiong instead of Yingjiang will allow Mao Xiong to quickly grow into a feared opponent of Yingjiang, and the Eighth Route Army will be able to stand in the middle and become the target of the two.

In other words, whether Yingjiang likes it or not, Yingjiang will still have to maintain a friendly relationship with the Eighth Route Army for a long time in the future.Otherwise, today it will be a new type of fighter jet, tomorrow it will be a transistor, and tomorrow it will be an anti-jamming system... With Mao Xiong's output and the Eighth Route Army's various "black technologies", there is a high probability that Yingjiang will be at a disadvantage in the competition between the two powers.

Thinking of this, Doolittle couldn't help but sigh: "I have met the leader of the Huaxia regiment several times. At first, I thought he was just a scientific research talent. I didn't expect him to have such foresight!"

"Don't underestimate this Chinese regiment leader!" the admiral said thoughtfully: "Almost everything the Eighth Route Army has is related to him, and he can consider all problems ahead. So..."

"So what?" Doolittle asked.

The Admiral said nothing.

He could only keep this question in his mind: If the head of the Huaxia regiment could consider all the problems ahead, would he also consider or even prepare for the oil crisis a year later?

The Admiral had this fear, but he could not speak of it.

Not only because this is just a guess, but also because the admiral does not know what method the Chinese regiment leader will use to solve this problem.

If you don't know what methods he will use, you can't stop him.

If nothing can be done to stop it, what's the point of speaking out?
When Wang Xuexin was dealing with Yingjiang and Mao Xiong because of the oil issue, the battle situation in the direction of Ping'an Village took a new turn.

The battle in Ping'an Village was commanded by Li Yunlong.

This is because the battle in Ping An Village is mainly about dynamic defense rather than passive defense.

If it is a passive defense, the Ping'an Village defense line is only three kilometers long in total. It means digging a few trenches at the exit of the basin. Such a narrow contact area between the enemy and ourselves cannot consume much of the Japanese's manpower, or it can be said that the consumption is too slow.

Therefore, what Wang Xuexin considered from the beginning was dynamic defense, that is, using mechanized troops to use the plain terrain to intersperse, encircle and attack the weak points in the rear of the Japanese... Only in this way can a large number of Japanese soldiers be consumed. The Japanese soldiers in the rear are unprepared and lack anti-tank equipment. Oil can't fight without tanks, and it can't retreat quickly without cars. It can be a large area if you just encircle it.

Just like in the early stage of Hans' attack on the Bear, the mechanized troops surrounded the 10,000+ and hundreds of thousands of Bears in an encirclement battle.

The mechanized force is commanded only by Li Yunlongxing, so he must be the frontline commander.

Li Yunlong was not in a hurry. After several days of sorting out, he cleared out most of the Japanese who had sneaked into the artillery positions on the highlands.

The reason why I say "most of them" is because the jungles in mountainous areas cannot be cleared away just because they want to. The Japanese may hide in any tree or burrow into any cave, and even tens of thousands of people may not be able to find them if they go in and search all over the place.

Now it can only be said that all the organized groups of the Japanese have been surrounded and destroyed, and the rest are scattered soldiers who cannot make a living.

However, the Japanese's fighting will is really commendable. If Yingjiang or the troops from Western countries had fought to this extent, they would have collapsed and surrendered long ago, and they could still continue to fight until now.

After basically ensuring the safety of the artillery positions, the Eighth Route Army had the initiative.

At this time, Li Yunlong began to consider using mechanized troops to intersperse...
