Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 851 The secret that cannot be hidden
In May [-], President Takashima and Vice President Abe both received invitations to go to Tokyo to attend the annual meeting of various Japanese petrochemical companies.

At night, Chairman Kimura of Nippon Oil Corporation entertained Chairman Takashima and Vice Chairman Abe in a secret place.

When Qian Xiaobao and Abe arrived at the location, they found that there were more than 20 people gathered inside, and half of these people were the best technicians in major oil refining companies in Japan.Takashima Chemical has paid attention to the collection of corporate technical intelligence from the very beginning, so both Qian Xiaobao and Abe have seen the photos of these people.

What surprised Qian Xiaobao was what were these people doing here tonight?Are we going to discuss technical issues tonight?
Looking at the room, there was no outsider, not even a waitress serving wine.

"Tonight I will show you something new. Do you know about the discovery of a large oil field in China? I just want to talk to you about this matter." Chairman Kimura said.

"Let's get started!" President Kimura said.

The lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and the slide projector projected the pictures onto the curtain on the wall.

The first picture that appeared on the curtain was a picture of a train of oil tankers, and the second picture was a picture of a worker wearing a cotton hat standing in front of the derrick, with Chinese characters on the picture, obviously these pictures were reproduced from Chinese newspapers and magazines of.

"Dog fur hat!" Abe who was sitting beside Qian Xiaobao whispered.

The worker was wearing a dog fur hat. In winter in Northeast China, people wearing dog fur hats were everywhere. Even the Kwantung Army used to wear dog fur hats to keep out the cold.

Abe had been in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army for a long time, how could he not know this.

Four or five pictures were played in a loop several times. When the lights came on, people turned their eyes back from the curtain.

"Chinese newspapers and magazines deliberately avoid mentioning the specific location of the oil field. I would like to ask you to analyze it. The weather in the picture is very cold, and it should be either northeast or northwest. What do you think?" President Kimura said.

No one spoke, Abe glanced at Qian Xiaobao, and Qian Xiaobao nodded.

Then Abe said: "I think it's in the Northeast! And it's in the north of the Northeast, and the weather in the south of the Northeast won't be so cold. I haven't heard that people in Northwest China also wear dog fur hats, and the Northwest is dry, no There may be so much water! Isn’t there a piece of frozen ice in the picture? The word Paozi in the text is even more telling! In Northeast China, such a small pond is called Paozi!”

What Abe said was very convincing, and the others nodded frequently.

Section Chief Iwata from Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. said: "Looking at the dust on the oil tanker, it should not be in Northwest China. The northwest is windy and sandy, with a lot of loess. The dust should not be like this. I also think this oil field is in Northeast China!"

Qian Xiaobao coughed and spoke.

"It's been too long. In my impression, I have heard of the place name Majiayaozi. In the 30s, the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army received reports of oil floating on the water in the swamps in southern Bei'an. Later, they even sent out reconnaissance planes. I have conducted reconnaissance over the swamp. I even heard that a drilling team was sent, but of course, nothing was found in the end. Check the map of Manchukuo immediately. If there is a place named Majiayao near Bei'an, it should be here!" Qian Xiao Bao said.

China has discovered a large oil field, which cannot be concealed at all, it is only a matter of time.

Everyone in the room was excited. Japan is a country that lacks resources, so they are very concerned about information such as energy and minerals in the world.China's current demand for oil is not large, so it is bound to export to the outside world in the future, which is very powerful for Japan.

For Japan, the more oil production in the world, the better, and the more sources, the better.This is very beneficial to Japan's energy security.

Then the technicians in the room began to analyze the diameter of the oil well and the diameter of the reaction tower based on the information in the pictures, and then judged the annual output of the oil field based on a small amount of information in Chinese newspapers and magazines.

"The annual output of this oil field will soon exceed 1000 million tons!" Section Chief Iwata said excitedly.

Now China and Japan have no diplomatic relations, and the scale of non-governmental trade is very small, only 5000 billion US dollars per year.These Japanese companies are salivating looking at this big market with a population of [-] million!
Now there is a great opportunity in front of you!

Such a large oil field requires huge refining and oil production equipment, and there is no need to worry about China's inability to pay, because oil is money!
"It seems that our Japanese companies are now preparing to provide oil equipment!" President Kimura said.

Two months after Qian Xiaobao and Abe returned to Osaka, he received a telegram from Taro Kawamoto from HK, and the people there suddenly wanted to see Chairman Takashima.

China divides the exported commodities into three categories: A, B, and C. Coal, soybeans, bristles, tung oil, manganese sand, etc. in the export list are not needed by Takashima Corporation.In the past ten years, Takashima Co., Ltd. has never had any economic ties with the mainland.

Moreover, Zhang Fawu, who was very familiar with Qian Xiaobao, also suddenly disappeared, and the Tianping Law Firm in Tsim Sha Tsui was subsequently withdrawn.Qian Xiaobao's connection with the mainland was suddenly cut off.

Ten years have passed, why did the other party suddenly want to meet me again?
After Qian Xiaobao explained the affairs of the club to Abe, he set off for HK.

The development of Japan and HK has been changing with each passing day in recent years. Osaka is an important economic center in Kansai, Japan and has opened direct flights to HK.

After the 707 landed at Kai Tak Airport, Qian Xiaobao went out of the terminal and rushed directly to Leon Trading Company.

The current Leon Trading Company occupies a small three-story building with dozens of employees responsible for the import of raw materials and the export of chemical and textile products of Takashima Co., Ltd.

Seeing the chairman walk into the office, Kawamoto Taro hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat.

"No need, Taro, explain the incident carefully!" Qian Xiaobao said while sitting on the opposite sofa.

"Three days ago, their people suddenly came here to find me and said they wanted to meet you right away." Kawamoto Taro replied.

"How do you know it's theirs?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

Today's Hong Kong is different from the early 50s. With the closer ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland, people from the Mainland can already conduct semi-public activities, while the forces sent to HK on the island are much weaker.

Be careful though.

"Someone showed me his ID, but that's all." Kawamoto Taro replied.It seems that Kawamoto Taro also felt that it was not enough to just look at the documents.

Qian Xiaobao bowed his head and said nothing, he is not someone he is familiar with and the two parties lack trust, should they meet?
After much deliberation, Qian Xiaobao finally decided to meet.

"Tell them the next time they contact you, I will meet them here!" Qian Xiaobao said to Taro Hemoto.
