The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"If we mine secretly, we will not be able to bypass the Dawan government. At the same time, we need the support of the Dawan government to control the area." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Well, I know this. We need a lot of oil, the insulators need oil, and the sealing materials also need oil. Without oil, we can't do anything." Shang Wen said after listening to what Meng Yi said.

"Oil is an important starting point for Qin's second industrial revolution. Without these, it would be really difficult for us to develop." Shang Wen said.

"We all understand this, but the crux of the problem is that we don't have that much oil resources. The area we are exploring still belongs to Parthia, unless our march route is to get there," Meng Yi said.

"Well, I thought about it. You're right, we can't avoid this situation anyway. Instead of doing this, we might as well cooperate with them. However, we need to occupy that area until we think we can march.

, or stop after we achieve our goal." Shangwen said.

"Of course. We also need the cooperation of the Dawan people. After all, the railway is very important to us." Shang Wen said this. Meng Yi took out a pen and recorded it. He needed to know what Shang Wen was thinking. Such a telegram is very important.

Quickly keep it secret again and forward it to the General Staff. King Qin also knows this news.

Qin State, General Staff.

"This is the direct reason why we revised the battle plan." Wang Jian said after reading the telegram from the Prime Minister's Office.

"I have to say that this reason is very convincing. You know, many places in Qin currently need such things, such as radios. Their sealing materials come from petroleum. Qin also has places that produce oil, but the output

It's a bit small in comparison. The Qin State was also in the Hexi Corridor area.

Oil has been discovered, but it is still not enough to meet our rapid development needs. This is an important resource that restricts the current development of Qin. Although the current demand for mineral resources is still relatively high. However, with the deepening of development, this

This demand will become bigger and bigger." Yang Duanhe said.

"Don't explain your economic needs to me. I know you've been reading economic books recently." Wang Jian shook his head and said.

"Political needs are the target needs of our operation. Political needs come from economic needs. Since Qin needs that area, we will occupy that area. But in that case, the march route will be a little biased. How can we

To reach such a face

, is what we should consider." Wang Jian looked at the sand table and said. Wang Jian looked at the area where oil appeared. That was the Caspian Sea. There were indeed oil resources there. Shang Wen also knew very well that there were oil resources there, so Qin wanted to

Spare no effort to develop there.

Compared to the Middle East, the oil in the Caucasus is very remote. The most important thing is that the population there is not very large and cannot attract the attention of others. This is what Naofumi thinks.

Port Sais.

"Damn it, the Seths actually learned how to sneak attack." A sergeant cursed. They were rebuilding their fortifications in order to deal with possible sneak attacks.

The Sais' sneak attack made the Korean soldiers realize that there was a big loophole in their defense. This loophole came from the opponent's trench tactics. They kept digging trenches. The Koreans had nothing to do about it unless they used a large number of

Mortars were used for bombardment, but there was no possibility of transporting such equipment from China. It would take at least three months to get here.

"It's best to be careful, don't you see? We need to heighten our defensive fortress and form a lot of defensive gullies below, and the army will be rearranged there." A second lieutenant said helplessly. He was an officer, but officers also

Must participate in their defense of the fortress.

After the Koreans encountered continuous sneak attacks, they decided to rebuild their defensive fortresses. The new defense circle should be able to prevent sneak attacks by the Sais. The Sais used their trenches as cover for their sneak attacks. They would

Launching a sneak attack at night, and then attacking and occupying the Korean positions, the Koreans could only respond passively. Although they dispersed many reserves, this problem still could not be completely solved, that is, they could not completely isolate the other party from approaching.

Own.

"Our officers carefully studied the Saisi operations. They felt that as long as we build a large trench in front of the position and then bury more barbed wire in the trench,* we can avoid sneak attacks. At the same time,

, we also need to heighten our defenses. From above, we can see how the Seth people's military offensive is going. In that case, we can use our

With the range advantage of the rifle in his hand, he can kill each other one by one," the second lieutenant said. However, he still had to work because the number of engineers was small and the labor force recruited was not enough. The most important thing is that this defense project is very expensive.

, everyone needs to participate. Instead of passive defense, it is better to actively participate in defensive operations. Officers will inevitably participate in the construction company.

"Sir, do you think this is okay? The Sais also have cannons. The fortifications we built are so high. If they bury guns, wouldn't we be blown up?" the sergeant asked curiously.

"I feel strange about this, but there is no other way. This is war, and we are soldiers. We must obey orders. Maybe this will be of great benefit to us." The other party said helplessly.

"Yes, sir." The sergeant nodded. Even the officers came down to repair the fortifications. It was hard for them to say anything.

"Damn, what is this? It's so sticky. Someone pooped here." Some soldiers left the smell distressed and found a sticky substance.

"Damn it, I dug it too. This is so disgusting." Some privates also turned away and looked at the things in the trench with disgust.

"What is this?" Many soldiers complained.

"This... seems to be asphalt, the kind of thing used to pave roads. I know this kind of thing, but..." At this moment, a corporal came over and grabbed a small piece and smelled it. There were many places where such things appeared.

It's normal.

"Asphalt? No one is building roads here, how can there be asphalt? Are you wrong? How can there be asphalt?" At this time, a lieutenant came over and asked curiously. He also felt very strange, how could there be asphalt?

.

"Sir, that's right. I built roads in the past. This is asphalt. This is the smell of asphalt. However, I don't know why asphalt appears here." The other party said.

"Oh. Does this thing affect us?" the lieutenant asked at this time.

"This can be avoided as long as you don't light a fire or you can't stand the smell." the lieutenant said.

"Well. If that's the case, then that's it." The soldier continued.

"Okay. I will report such things to the superiors." The lieutenant nodded and said. The lieutenant finally found a chance to rest. He quickly wrote a report and submitted it to the superiors. After all, they did not

I think finding asphalt is a very normal situation.

Generally speaking, when an asphalt layer is discovered, it means that there is oil below. However, this requires a certain amount of drilling to find this place, and Port Sais is located in an oil-rich area, and the oil resources here are very abundant.

The most important thing is that they are all shallow oil. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they are willing, they can drill out oil. This is very good news for the Koreans. But they have not yet

draw such attention.

Inside Guo Xiang's office.

"Break out asphalt. Who knows what the significance of breaking out asphalt is." Guo Xiang looked at such a report and threw it aside.

"Sir." When an assistant heard these words, he boldly stepped forward and said.

"What's going on?" Guo Xiang looked at the other party curiously. He didn't know what the other party wanted to say.

"Sir, this may be very abnormal. From the perspective of mining, asphalt appears, which is usually related to oil. I have read such books and they have said such a relationship. There is also..." the assistant said.

"Go on." Guo Xiang asked curiously.

"I heard that a large amount of oil is produced here. Now the country needs some oil resources. I think we can mine some oil here to meet our domestic needs. The appearance of asphalt may mean that oil has been discovered, although we cannot yet

Make sure whether an oil layer has been discovered. However, I think we should send a telegram to ask, and if necessary, let experts come and take a look." The other party suggested.

"Yes. You reminded me, that may be the case. We need oil. This oil is very important to us. If there is no oil, it is very likely that we will not be able to do anything." Guo Xiang nodded and said.

"You are right, local people. I heard that the Seth people use fire to attack when they fight. They are all good at playing with fire. We have to be careful. These oil layers must be cleared out. Okay. I understand.

, I want to draw up a telegram and send it to the country and ask them to send several experts to see if this kind of thing should be done this way." Guo Xiang said.

South Korea, Department of the Army.

"Oil may be found, and there is asphalt underground." An officer looked at the report in his hand. He didn't know if he should pass such a telegram to his superiors. Maybe they know what to do? But the officer thought for a while,

I don't think this is a big thing.
