Chapter 4715: Refined oil problem

It was not easy to solve this period. Tupley decided to put it aside for now. After all, this is a money problem, which is much more complicated than a military problem. Without money, the war cannot go on. With money, it may not be able to continue. Fighting under such a situation is simply an important factor that makes it difficult to continue.

"Let’s talk about the military issue. I am very concerned about this issue. If this issue is not properly resolved, many of our situations will not be too favorable." Tupley said.

"Sir, the First Army began to build a line of defense near Sieg. Behind them is an east-west railway. In addition, the railway from Sanston also leads there. In this way, we can use the railway continuously. The delivery of a large amount of supplies in order to provide more combat opportunities to protect them. Under such circumstances, our situation will develop more favorable. This is an extremely advantageous point for us. With this point, Our situation may become more rapid, which is a good thing for us. At the same time, it will also form a great development situation for our development." Li Pu said.

Tupley nodded. He finally heard the good news.

"Sir, the report of the First Army says that they hope to form the First Army. If this is the case, their situation will be fundamentally improved. At present, they have gathered more than 20,000 soldiers. The total strength is 50,000. However, 50,000 people are not enough. According to preliminary estimates, they need 100,000 troops if they want to build a line of defense." Li Pu said worriedly.

"Well, yes, give them the number of the First Army. This we can guarantee to them, such an excellent military general, should have such a number, with such a number, what they can do will become easier. Many things that we can do under such circumstances will become more advantageous.” Tupley said happily.

"Tell him, 100,000 people, supplies and equipment, we will give him soon, let him not worry, in this case, we are their strong backing, we can guarantee them many, many things. If they persevere and fight unswervingly, our advantage will become extremely great. Therefore, in such a situation, stabilizing them is stabilizing everything. Give it to them.” Tupley doesn’t care at all. Speaking of.

"Immediately organize manpower and send the materials that the Koreans have organized to us. They really need something like this. Only in their hands can these things play a greater role. Our current situation is In this way, we can make a lot of things, and this is a result we need to guarantee." Li Pu said. Yes, his situation is like this now. Only by constantly giving the opponent greater opportunities for development can their situation be improved to a greater extent. Now Tupuli can only rely on the First Army.

"Yes, sir, in this case, many of our things can go on." Li Pu also knew that Persia must establish a line of defense of its own.

However, after the aid materials and weapons are given to the First Army, the gap is still very large. They also need reserve military strength. In addition, the expansion of a large number of troops, etc., these are all problems, and this problem is all It has a lot to do with finances. How to solve such a problem is a big trouble. If they cannot solve such a thing, it will be difficult for them to proceed. Tuplei started to have a headache about this.

The war is not only a competition between the two war machines, but also an economic competition between the two sides. The Shah people’s economic mobilization ability has been activated, and the Persian side also needs to make corresponding improvements. Otherwise, many of their things will become extremely unfavorable, which for them will cause them even greater The loss is.

Qin, Qin’s commercial banks, and Qin’s related oil companies gathered frantically. Qin’s commercial bank got bonds, and the Shamans produced oil. They exchanged bonds for oil. In contrast, the price of oil was extremely high In addition, Qin’s oil reserves are quickly full, and the relevant places can no longer continue to store them. How could the people of the oil company miss such an opportunity, and they quickly adopted it. It took measures that others could not believe, and sold it to Zhao Guo, because the price of oil on the Zhao State market was relatively high, and such oil prices were enough to make them profitable. Because they did not pay much to get the oil.

Oil is also a kind of gold, he is a kind of black gold.

State of Zhao, Handan, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Jia was embarrassed because domestic refined oil prices were too expensive. Qin and South Korea’s oil prices were relatively low. These countries smuggled refined oil to Zhao. For a while, smuggling refined oil became the most profitable business. Such a business has made many people a fortune. However, in the face of such a situation, they themselves don't know how to deal with such a situation. How should they deal with such a situation, is it to continue to watch them carry out such a thing? Or they use other methods to solve such problems, even Zhao Jia can't solve them.

“Nanyang oil production must be increased, otherwise, Zhao’s automobile industry will be severely restricted. In border areas, smuggling of refined oil has seriously interfered with the country’s economic development and the establishment of economic order. In one situation, many of our things cannot be implemented. If this situation continues, it will have a great impact on us, and we cannot continue to do it. Otherwise, it will cause us great disadvantages. Situational. We can't watch these developments." The Minister of Economy said.

Zhao's economic pressure is still relatively large, because refined oil remains high, which has led to the rise of other prices, such as agriculture and transportation, which have been greatly affected. There are a lot of dissatisfaction from the transportation and automobile industries in various places, and various petitions.

High oil prices have brought another aspect. That is, some people smuggle illegally, which has severely damaged the economic order of Zhao State. It can be said that more than half of the cars in Zhao State use smuggled oil. There is no way, it is cheaper, and it is better than regular oil. too much. If smuggled oil is not used, then there is only one possibility, their car can't move. Because there is no fuel. How can I run without oil.

Dissatisfaction, the economic order has been greatly impacted, and even the air force has been greatly impacted. Increasing Nanyang, as well as increasing the volume of import transportation, has become a must.

Carthage's oil can continue to be maintained, but the problem is that most of Carthage's oil is also smuggled. Zhao Guoren seemed to be sensitive to the importance of oil, and they focused a lot of their main energy on the oil issue. A large amount of oil is smuggled to Lockheed Martin because the demand there is greater. However, the output will not change, which aggravates the deterioration of Zhao’s oil situation. This is his dilemma. If such a situation cannot be improved in a timely and effective manner, Zhao Jia believes that Zhao’s economy may have to go through another time. There is a big crisis.

If the crisis cannot be passed, he may be stepped down, which Zhao Jia does not want to do.

But the problem is that the increase in Nanyang oil production requires the consent of the Koreans, and the Koreans will not easily agree to it. This will form a big contradiction, and the contradiction may cause some adverse effects. This may be war. Under such circumstances, once a war breaks out, the result will be difficult to sustain. The financial test will be even greater. Zhao Jia has always been the representative of Zhao Guohe Pinpai for no other reason. This is because the destructive power of war will completely destroy the state of Zhao, which is recovering to its best. Such a result is not what he wants to see, and he does not want to see such a situation. Go on. Therefore, under such circumstances, he himself does not want such a thing to happen.

"We can try it diplomatically, maybe the South Koreans will agree. We can use other terms of trade to satisfy each other. In this way, both sides have the capital to negotiate. This is extremely beneficial to both of us. We shouldn’t be so anxious about the conditions, we can talk about many things.” Zhao Jia said.

"This situation can indeed be discussed, but the question is, what should we do after the discussion?" the Minister of Finance asked.

Zhao Guo’s oil production is controlled by the Koreans. This situation is no longer a problem that can be solved in one fell swoop. They must get greater development. Otherwise, everything will be extremely disadvantaged. among. They don't want this to happen.

"Perhaps we can use other methods to solve such problems. For example, we can develop in many places." Zhao Jia said, this is an extremely vague concept. The Minister of Economy and the Minister of Finance are very clear that in many cases, their conditions cannot be greatly improved. And when they were thinking about these issues, the people of Qin were exporting a large amount of oil here. This scale could not be effectively counted because of smuggling. However, what they knew was that thousands of fuel oil crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered the territory of Zhao State. This has greatly impacted the local high oil prices, and refined oil products are falling.
