Chapter 1871 Unsure
Therefore, it is strategically impossible for Yingjiang to use oil to trade with the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, their long-term layout in China will completely fail, which is a bit like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

However, the "J-2" is of great value, and Yingjiang may be willing to sacrifice his stubborn troops to buy the "J-2".

But Wang Xuexin believed that it was impossible for Yingjiang to do this, because Yingjiang was already developing the F86 Saber jet fighter at this time.

(Note: Historically, Eagle Sauce was also developed in 44 and first flew in 47 and entered service in 49 years)
Moreover, Eagle Sauce uses the more advanced General Electric TG180 engine.

Since Yingjiang knew that the Eighth Route Army used an engine on which the sun never sets, they knew very well that the TG180 engine had stronger thrust and better performance than the Eighth Route Army's.

Under this circumstance, there is a high probability that Yingjiang can develop a better jet fighter. Why should it make such a big sacrifice in exchange for the "J-2"?
What's more, to defeat the Eighth Route Army's "J-2", you only need to cut off the oil supply. Why buy it first and then let the stubborn army defeat it in the air?

Especially if the stubborn army is still so unsatisfactory, even if they are given advanced fighter planes, they may not be able to defeat the Eighth Route Army!
Therefore, Yingjiang has no sincerity in purchasing the "J-2" from the beginning to the end. To be precise, he has no sincerity in exchanging oil for the "J-2".

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that the admiral had some regrets after hearing Sun Erwei's report.

"The leader of the Chinese regiment is actually willing to trade?" The admiral hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Did he see through something?"

"No, I don't think he did!" Sun Erwei replied: "Except for a slight hesitation on the quantity of oil, he was very straightforward and urgent at other times!"

The admiral regretted hearing this: "If we had known that the Eighth Route Army was willing to trade, we should have used other things!"

"What else?" Doolittle asked.

"Anything else!" replied the Admiral. "Anything!"

The admiral thought that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to sell the "J-2", so he used oil, a resource that was impossible to sell, to test... To be precise, what the admiral wanted to test was oil. He wanted to know about the Eighth Route Army Is there any other way to get oil?

Chen Songyong still doesn't understand one thing: "If Yingjiang doesn't want to buy it, then Sun Erwei...is still playing tricks on us?"

Wang Xuexin shook his head.

Chen Songyong had been engaged in staff work for a long time and was limited to the Eighth Route Army where interpersonal relationships were simple. He did not understand these international intrigues.

How can this be said to be "playing"?

"He has a purpose!" Wang Xuexin said: "Actually, it cannot be said to be Sun Erwei, but Yingjiang. If we are unwilling to trade, Yingjiang can draw two conclusions: First, our army is already doing things that are hostile to him. Prepare. Second, our army has other channels to obtain oil!"

Chen Songyong was the first to understand, but the second was confused.

How else can the Eighth Route Army obtain oil?
Don't you just buy it from Mao Xiong?
If there is any other channel, it is to buy it from Southeast Asia!
But that is something that can only be bought through the area controlled by the stubborn army and then through the external highway. This is simply impossible!
Wang Xuexin knew in his heart that Yingjiang was worried that the Eighth Route Army would really be able to produce oil.

Perhaps it was because the "Anticline Oil Accumulation Theory" that Wang Xuexin taught Imus before was too true. In addition, Wang Xuexin looked confident, so the admiral began to make insinuations:
If the Eighth Route Army is willing to trade, it means that the Eighth Route Army has no other channels... Being able to exchange something as important as the "J-2" for oil is enough to explain the problem.

But if the Eighth Route Army is unwilling to trade, it is likely that the Eighth Route Army has discovered that the oil field can produce oil on its own, so the deal is no longer attractive to them.

However, the admiral was still worried, and he later asked Sun Erwei to make a trip to Fengtian.

Professor Emmaus and his team are in Fengtian.Professor Amos was originally exploring for oil in Ping'an Village, but since the Japanese invaded Ping'an Village, it has become very dangerous with shells flying everywhere.

For safety reasons, the Eighth Route Army temporarily moved Professor Imos and his party to Fengtian, which was relatively safe.

In fact, Professor Imos was able to return to China at this time, but he refused to go back no matter what.

"This is not my style!" Professor Amos said: "I have only explored one place, and there are many places waiting for us. Now is not the time for us to go back!"

Wang Xuexin didn't know whether he wanted to find oil itself, or whether he wanted to use finding oil to prove the "anticline oil accumulation theory."

But since he didn't want to leave, Wang Xuexin let him.

Although the Eighth Route Army had little money, it could still afford food and housing for several people.

Sun Erwei arrived at Fengtian on Yingjiang's transport plane. This transport plane flew from the stubborn army to pick up Sun Erwei for this trip... At this time, Fengtian was still in the middle of the battle and was not considered safe, and civil aviation had not yet been opened.

On the other hand, Sun Erwei was too embarrassed to ask the Eighth Route Army to provide transport aircraft.

He was conducting intelligence work on someone else's territory and letting others arrange his itinerary?
In particular, the Eighth Route Army has not given any special treatment to Sun Erwei and other personnel from Yingjiang... The reason why I use "nothing" is because there is indeed special treatment, and the food in Yingjiang is better than that of the Eighth Route Army.

This can't be done!
If we arrange meals for Yingjiang's personnel according to the Eighth Route Army's method, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it in a few days.

But the special treatment only goes so far. In the Eighth Route Army, which values ​​equality between officers and soldiers, if Sun Erwei asked for a transport plane to take him to Fengtian without providing a reasonable reason, he would undoubtedly be rejected.

Sun Erwei knew this, and he also knew that the Eagle Sauce equipment in the Eighth Route Army was not "reinforcement", but was obtained by the Eighth Route Army through transactions. It was a fair transaction and the Eighth Route Army did not owe Eagle Sauce anything.

The stubborn army is different.

Damn it, Yingjiang has given you so much equipment, including guns, ammunition, planes, and supplies. What’s wrong with asking you to provide a plane now?
Since it has to pass near the Japanese Chengde Airport on the way, the transport plane can only fly at night.

Arriving in Fengtian at one o'clock in the morning, Sun Erwei knocked on the door and woke up Professor Imos who was already asleep.

Sun Erwei's first words after entering the door were: "Professor Amos, the military wants to determine one thing, whether China can really find oil!"

"This cannot be determined, Lieutenant Colonel!" Professor Imos replied: "This is also what I want to be sure of!"

"So..." Sun Erwei asked again: "What is your opinion on the anticlinal oil accumulation theory? Is it possible that it is right?"

Professor Amos laughed: "That's what I want to be sure of, too, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Looking at the extremely disappointed Sun Erwei, Professor Amos said: "You can compare it to searching for treasure. It is even harder than searching for treasure! Because searching for treasure at least has a map, but searching for oil has nothing!"

Sun Erwei's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this: "Does this mean that the possibility of finding oil in China is extremely slim? Even if there is this theory?"
