One man's resistance against Japan, I mobilized a million people to aid Shanghai.
[321] Solutions to the talent shortage!
"My Lord, must all the demons on this land be purified?"
Zhu Wenzheng looked at Zhu Yong.
All the clones looked at Zhu Yong, after all, the Japanese were fuel, talent, and the foundation of the system.
If we kill them all, what will happen next?
Zhu Yong pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."
"God brought us into this world and gave us such a powerful system so that we could eradicate all alien races."
"To be a hegemon on the outside and a king on the inside, that is what we should be doing."
"We can be more lenient with the special talents that China currently lacks; otherwise, everyone should be treated equally."
"As for the future, I have a plan."
"What method?"
The clones were puzzled.
The Japanese soldiers have all been killed; how could a clone possibly appear out of thin air?
Zhu Yong smiled mysteriously.
"You'll find out when we've racked up 100 million kill points."
Zhu Yong looked at Chang Yuchun and asked:
"How's the situation in Indochina?"
"Most of them have been occupied and purified, and the rest have gone to the deep mountains and forests to become monkeys."
"Our army is now at the gates of Yangon and is about to launch the final blow against Siam."
"Very good, but not enough."
Zhu Yong said:
"Siam is full of deep forests and has a sparse population, making it difficult to purify."
"You must hurry to the Ganges River basin, where the population is dense and that's where you'll truly shine."
"Yes, that's what I think."
Chang Yuchun said excitedly:
"Give me another half month, and I guarantee I'll storm the Mughals and get you to 100 million kill points as soon as possible."
Zhu Yong said:
"John Bull still has a considerable number of troops stationed in Mughal territory, so be very careful."
"The regular army numbered only about 10,000, and with the local colonial army, the total was at most 150,000."
Chang Yuchun didn't care at all.
"They're not even enough to fill a tooth gap for me."
"Don't be careless, the British Royal Fleet may be approaching the Mughals soon."
Zhu Yong reiterated, "With war breaking out in Europe, the British can't afford to worry about East Asia, but India is their crown jewel, and they can't afford to give it up."
"Kill as many as they come!" Chang Yuchun patted his chest confidently.
Zhu Yong didn't say anything more.
For the current expeditionary force, its strength is indeed formidable, especially with the existence of personal storage space, which allows Chang Yuchun to disregard logistics and advance at breakneck speed.
Unless he falls into an ambush, Chang Yuchun will not encounter any difficulties in the Mughal Empire.
At that moment, Li Hu stood up and reported on the situation at Pearl Harbor.
"My Lord, as of yesterday, our army has completely occupied Honolulu."
"Our army won a great victory in this battle and basically achieved its strategic objectives."
"Not only did they capture Pearl Harbor, but they also seized almost the entire Pacific Fleet."
"Among them are twelve aircraft carriers, three thousand fighter jets, and two battleships, namely the USS Pennsylvania and the USS Maryland, with displacements of 31400 tons and 32600 tons respectively."
"It can be said that at this moment, we possess the most powerful navy in the world, and are invincible."
A collective gasp filled the conference room.
Even a cold and aloof person like Bai Qi had a flicker of emotion in his eyes. That was a battleship, a symbol of maritime hegemony in this era.
"Continue," Zhu Yong said calmly.
"Five heavy cruisers were captured intact."
"The intact ships include the USS New Orleans, USS Minneapolis, and USS San Francisco, all of which are New Orleans-class and Pensacola-class ships, with 203mm main guns and a speed of over 32 knots."
"Light cruisers: nine."
Destroyers: 23
Submarines: twelve.
"Auxiliary vessels: a total of 187 vessels including oil tankers, transport ships, repair ships, and tugboats."
There was silence in the conference room.
Everyone was shocked by this number.
Sha Wujin murmured, "My lord... if these ships sail to the west coast of the Bald Eagle, they would be enough to blockade the eastern Pacific Ocean."
Zhu Wenzheng, the head steward, had already opened his laptop and was calculating frantically.
"Twenty-three destroyers, assuming each consumes 800 tons of fuel per month... and five heavy cruisers, each consuming 1,200 tons per month..."
"Two battleships, each consuming four thousand tons per month... Aircraft carriers are even more terrifying; the Enterprise, at full speed, burns a thousand tons of fuel per day..."
His pen stopped, and he looked up at Zhu Yong, his face pale.
"My Lord, if this fleet operates at full speed for a day, it will consume at least eight thousand tons of fuel."
"And our current oil storage capacity..."
Li Hu took over the conversation, his voice heavy:
"This is the second part I want to talk about: fuel."
A scene flashed through Li Hu's mind.
On the screen, three huge cylindrical oil storage tanks are twisted and deformed, billowing black smoke.
The oil pipeline lay scattered on the ground like torn intestines.
All that remains of the refueling facilities by the dock is a pile of charred steel skeletons.
"An accident occurred during the raid, which resulted in the Hawks destroying 90 percent of Pearl Harbor's oil storage facilities."
"The port originally stored 500,000 tons of fuel oil, enough for the entire Pacific Fleet to operate for three months."
"Now..."
Li Hu said sadly, "The remaining recyclable fuels are: 12,400 tons of heavy oil, 8,700 tons of diesel oil, and 3,200 tons of aviation gasoline."
"In total, less than 25,000 tons."
"Twenty-five thousand tons?"
Chang Yuchun counted on his fingers, "That fleet would take eight thousand tons a day at full speed... which means it's enough for three days?"
"If the entire fleet is mobilized, yes, it will only last three days."
Li Hu confirmed, "Moreover, in these three days we can only reach the vicinity of Midway Island, and then we run out of fuel and have to return."
"Don't eat pickled radishes!"
Chang Yuchun cursed, "We stole a bunch of lumps of iron, and we can't get them out of there? We might as well have just blown them up in the first place!"
Bai Qi said coldly:
"Fuel has always been Asia's Achilles' heel. Even during the height of the Japanese invasion, fuel was a major weakness, forcing them to take risks in their fight against the United States."
"We must solve the fuel problem, otherwise we will be at a disadvantage when we engage in naval and air battles with the West in the future."
Zhu Yong remained silent.
He stood up, walked to the 3D image, and carefully observed the destroyed oil depots.
"How long will the repair take?" Zhu Yong asked.
"Evaluation by the engineering department,"
Li Hu retrieved the report, which stated, "Complete repair of the three main oil depots and the oil transportation system will take six to eight months, and will require a large amount of special steel and pipeline fittings."
"We don't have any right now."
"What about robbing from the Bald Eagle's homeland?"
"Send the fleet out to plunder!"
"How can you drive without oil?" Li Wenzhong asked in return.
The meeting was stuck in a vicious cycle.
There's a boat, but no fuel.
Without fuel, the boat can't move.
If the ship can't move, there's no way to steal oil.
All eyes were once again focused on Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong walked back to his seat, sat down, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The rhythmic sound of tapping, tapping, tapping was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.
"The fuel problem will be solved in three steps," he finally spoke, his voice calm and composed, unlike someone facing a crisis. "Short-term, medium-term, and long-term."
Everyone perked up their ears.
"In the short term, that is, from now until March next year."
Zhu Yong said, "We will rely on the existing 25,000 tons of fuel oil to conduct limited operations."
"We have personal space, so even transporting aircraft carriers and battleships is a piece of cake, without needing to travel long distances."
"The most important thing is to bring these big guys to the doorstep of the Bald Eagles and provide us with fire support."
"These fuels will be reserved for the fighter jets for now. Air superiority is crucial when operating on American soil."
"As for naval battles, they will be postponed for now."
"The short-term solution should focus on saving resources and avoiding unnecessary waste of fuel. Otherwise, we will really have to rely on our own two feet to fight against the foreign devils' planes and tanks."
Chang Yuchun and the others nodded repeatedly.
"What about the medium-term plan?" Bai Qi asked.
"Mid-term"
Zhu Yong walked to the world map and pointed to several locations, saying, "We need to establish our own fuel supply system."
"China is not short of oil, it's just that the Japanese can't find it."
"Wen Zheng."
"Here!" Zhu Wenzheng immediately straightened his back.
"Do the following things immediately."
"First, send people to the Daqing area in Liaodong to establish an outpost and blockade an area within a radius of fifty kilometers."
"Second, send people to Yumen, Karamay, and Lenghu in the northwest to establish similar blockade zones."
"Third, immediately occupy Yenangyaung in Siam."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
As Zhu Yong's alter egos, they naturally knew that these places were all oil fields, and large ones at that. Once extracted, they would be enough to support the army's high-intensity combat.
Zhu Wenzheng was initially delighted, but then his face turned worried as he said:
"But, sir, we don't have the equipment to mine oil fields at all."
"Europe is in complete chaos right now. The Third Reich's supplies can't get in, so even if we have a lot of oil fields, we can't extract them."
Zhu Yong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, we can get these equipment out right now."
"what?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Yong in confusion, wondering where he got the confidence to say such a thing.
