Beiyang 1917

[Text] Chapter 180 The arrival of the v1500 giant

------------

Another good news at the end of November 1917 was that the second deep well in the Renqiu Oilfield of Sino-American Petroleum Corporation, "Zhongmei No. Zhu, it is estimated that the crude oil production in Japan has reached 11 tons, and a new record for the production of crude oil in a single well of Chinese crude oil has been created again a month later!

At the same time, the land acquisition and exploration area of ​​Renqiu Oilfield also expanded from 375 mu to 1917 mu. Sino-American Petroleum Corporation paid 40 million yuan for the land acquisition alone. Of course, this is compared with the huge underground oil treasure. It is not worth mentioning that in [-], the market price of an acre of high-quality land in China was only around [-] yuan.download building

Sino-American oil companies pay a 25% premium over the market for land acquisition, and no one will refuse. In fact, according to the relevant legal documents of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, landlords are not allowed to block the mineral deposits of enterprises registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce because of their land ownership. Exploration and mining rights.

Another piece of good news that came from the end of November 1917 was that the installation and commissioning of the Sino-American Petroleum Company’s Xuanhua Oil Refinery in the Chahar Xuanhua Mining Area was completed, and the Renqiu Oil Refinery was also put into production. Before the pipeline is paved, Sino-American Petroleum Corporation will transport the crude oil from Renqiu Oilfield to Xuanhua Mining Area via the Beijing-Hanzhou and Beijing-Suizhou Railways through oil tank trains.

The two wells in Renqiu Oilfield now produce 2800 tons of crude oil, which is equivalent to more than 20000 barrels of crude oil per day, and the combined designed refining capacity of the 50-ton Renqiu Refinery and the 50-ton Xuanhua Refinery has just reached RI refines 20000 barrels of oil, not to mention that the two refineries have just successfully commissioned and conducted trial production, and the production capacity can only reach about 70% of the designed capacity. Still have to limit production.

中美石油旗下的这两个炼油厂工厂在11月底合计ri炼油能力为14000桶，ri产汽油7800桶，柴油2200桶，煤油2200桶。转换成加仑则分别是32万7600加仑汽油，9万2400加仑柴油以及相同数量的煤油。

王庚的参战军对汽油有无法抑制的渴望，当初第一期美援订单中原定采购的道奇1吨半卡车1000辆。福特tt1吨多用途车2000辆，福特t型车2000辆，事实上早被他追加了无数次订单，7批美援中实际到货的数量加起来分别达到了3200辆道奇1吨半卡车，3200辆福特tt多用途车和3200辆福特t型车。

The Model T Ford has become the standard car for cadres above the company and has replaced horseback riding. The entire participating army consists of 39 thirteen reorganized divisions, and this number of vehicles is far from enough.

The establishment of the model army for participating in the war is that one reorganized division governs three mixed brigades, one division belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, and the other division belongs to the wheeled armored regiment. Each mixed brigade governs three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an armored battalion, and an engineering For a barracks and a supply battalion, each cannon is towed by a Dodge 1 ton truck. A mixed brigade with 72 cannons requires 72 Dodge trucks. In addition, the brigade’s armored battalion has 36 wheeled armored combat vehicles, and the engineer battalion also has 36 There were 36 Dodge trucks, and a Ford utility vehicle.

This mixed brigade is not equipped with Ford T-type command vehicles for cadres above the company. The mechanization level of this mixed brigade has reached 180 vehicles. A reorganized division has 540 vehicles for three mixed brigades, plus the heavy artillery regiment belonging to the division. 54 Dodge trucks, plus 108 wheeled armored vehicles belonging to the division's armored regiment, the total number of trucks and wheeled armored vehicles in a division is 702, plus 220 Ford T-type command vehicles, equipped for a division of the participating army Nearly a thousand cars.

中华福道汽车公司成立后在弗雷德雷克；海内斯的领导下这一个月来已经顺利组装了50辆道奇1吨半卡车和50辆福特tt1吨多用途车，引进的v6v8两种引擎的发动机生产车间则还在安装调试中。

As there is no corresponding domestic manufacturer of automobile supporting production parts, Zhonghua Fudao Company continued to import parts from the United States for assembly, and at the same time began to look for suitable tire supporting suppliers in China.Other steel raw materials are purchased from Han Yeping.Suppliers of car lights and interior seats were established in Beijing and Tianjin, and semi-finished product warehouses, assembly workshops, engine production workshops, chassis workshops, and painting workshops were also established successively.

After the Zhangjiakou Fengzhen to Guisui section of the Beijing-Suizhou Railway was officially completed at the end of October 1917, by the end of November, the railway project from Ulanqab to Erlian had been repaired to a distance of 10 kilometers, and it is expected to be completed in early January next year. The 11-kilometer railway from Ulanqab to the Erlian Military Station, as for the road, was opened and widened to Erlian as early as a month ago. This month, the road from Erlian to Kulun has been widened and reinforced to 160 kilometers in Outer Mongolia. , Of course, there is still 1 kilometers of work to be done to widen and refurbish Kulun.

This month, the 149-kilometer railway project from Guisui to Baotou was carried out along the Hetao Plain, and the terrain conditions were relatively good. In the past month, it has progressed nearly 40 kilometers. The railway exploration project to Lanzhou is also in full swing under the leadership of Zhan Tianyou himself.

1917年1月底的另一个好消息是从英国采购的第二批72架se5战斗机、72架dh4侦察轰炸机以及72架汉德利佩季0400型飞机通过海运顺利抵达了天津港，在这三种飞机之外，还有两架刚刚完成试飞就被王庚花高价硬下来的汉德利佩季v1500型四引擎的重型轰炸机。

The price of the V1500 heavy bomber is as high as 42000 US dollars each. It is a follow-up model of 0400. In Wang Geng’s previous life, this heavy bomber would not appear on the battlefield until June next year. At this moment, it may be due to the butterfly effect. After more than half a year, there was a prototype test flight prototype, and it was bought by Wang Geng!

V1500 is equipped with 4 Eagle VIII liquid-cooled engines, which can be called the sky giant of this era!In fact, in Wang Geng's previous life, a total of 63 aircraft were produced and the war ended.

In the era of 1917, this long-overdue British V1500 aircraft was Wang Geng's favorite, and it can be called the b52 air fortress of this era!Wang Geng's task for Wang Zhu and Bayuzao focused on imitating the Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII v12 engine.

Wang Zhu, the former chief engineer of Boeing Aircraft Company, and Bayuzao, the chief engineer of Wright Aircraft Company, have to find suitable materials for engine production on the basis of the production drawings and processes provided by Rolls-Royce. Hawk vii and eagle viii aircraft engine imitation production out!

With a full set of drawings, molds and production equipment, these two first-class aircraft engineers of this era are full of confidence in this. The metal materials or other raw materials that are currently in short supply in the country will be sold in the United States through the Manhattan Industrial Bank. Purchase first.

Before the raw materials were implemented, the two chiefs of the aviation department of the participating army plunged into the digestion and absorption and imitation of the v1500 aircraft according to Wang Geng's instructions. Produce 25 v1500's!
