Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 402: Plan Starts (Part 2)

The machines for developing oil and the ships for transporting it were all developed and manufactured in the secret base, and Lu Shaohua had already applied for the transportation route through Phoenix Shipping. In other words, as long as the crude oil was developed and the ships were manufactured, the oil could be transported via the sea to the port nearest to the base, and then transported back to the base using the large transport aircraft in the base.

There is no other way. Lu Shaohua can only transport it in this way. It has to go through several processes in the middle. If the base was built on the seaside, Lu Shaohua could build a port and move the goods directly from the ship to the base. Unfortunately, the base is not built on the seaside, so this is the only way to transport it.

This is also the reason why Lu Shaohua wants to transfer another 40 billion US dollars to the base. In addition to producing more fighter jets to guard the base, he also wants to produce large transport aircraft, which can be used to transport oil in the future. It can also increase the speed of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group in transporting personnel.

However, these do not seem to be things that Lu Shaohua should worry about. Li Zhijie, Xie Jianwei and others are at the base. As long as the oil is transported by sea, they will automatically find a way to move it to the base.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment, organized his words, and asked, "How big is the overall scope of our base?"

"Oh!" Li Zhijie frowned, a little puzzled, not knowing why Lu Shaohua suddenly asked this question, but he still answered honestly. "When we started, we didn't know how big the mercenary group would be, so when we came here, I bought a large piece of land from the local government. So, with the base as the center, the land within a one-kilometer radius belongs to us."

"That's good." Lu Shaohua nodded.

In fact, Lu Shaohua's question was redundant. The local governor was Lu Shaohua's man, and the size of the land was up to him. Therefore, this question did not exist. It was just that Lu Shaohua did not think about these things carefully and suddenly asked this question. As for why he asked this question, it was of course useful.

Looking at Qian Qian, Lu Shaohua paused and said, "The crude oil shipped here needs to be stored at the base, so we need to build a large warehouse."

Lu Shaohua's meaning was very clear, the construction of the warehouse would be completed by Qian Qian.

"No problem, I'll ask someone to make a design and we can start construction at any time." Qian Qian replied.

What the base has no shortage of is talents, all kinds of talents. The base has everything, covering all fields, so designing a warehouse blueprint couldn't be easier.

"Well, in addition to the warehouse, the crude oil processing procedures must also be completed here." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and added, "I don't know much about these things. I have to consult experts, and then let the experts plan and build it."

At the end, Lu Shaohua finished speaking, took a breath, and then said, "But there is no rush. We can slowly build it after the oil is developed and transported here. The most important thing right now is the warehouse problem, which must be solved as soon as possible."

"Okay." Qian Qian responded straightforwardly, and almost stood up and patted his chest to make a promise.

After getting Qian Qian's assurance, Lu Shaohua did not continue talking about this topic. He turned his head to look at Chen Guobang and said, "Brother, I will leave the contact with the Soviet Union to you. Developing oil and transporting crude oil is also a headache. We need to smooth out the relationship first, otherwise we will be tied up at that time, which is not a solution."

"You can rest assured about this. Although the forces we have cultivated may escape our control, they dare not act rashly now. There is no problem in doing these things." Chen Guobang said confidently, as if everything was under his control. In fact, this was true. Chen Guobang never fought a battle without confidence. Now he dared to say it so firmly, which meant that he was 100% confident. However, he still had a question in his heart, the kind that he couldn't help but swallow. "Xiaohua, let me ask you, do you plan to develop the four oil fields at the same time or one by one?"

There are four oil fields in the Soviet Union, one with large reserves, one with medium reserves, and two with small reserves. Chen Guobang wanted to develop the small fields first and leave the large ones for later, taking a conservative approach.

How could Lu Shaohua not understand what Chen Guobang meant? He shook his head and said, "Develop the four oil fields at the same time. Brother, you may not know that, judging from the current situation, the situation in Russia will stabilize in a few years. If we don't develop them at the same time, we won't have enough time."

Lu Shaohua described what was in his memory as the current situation. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just tell Chen Guobang directly that his memory knew that the situation in Russia would be stable within a few years.

"Oh!" Chen Guobang believed Lu Shaohua's words without a doubt. He said that it would be stable in a few years, because Lu Shaohua had not made any mistakes so far. "It doesn't matter. Simultaneous development will only put more pressure. As long as we coordinate well, there will be no problem."

Whether there were any problems or not, Lu Shaohua had thought about it when he was making the plan. It was precisely because there were no problems that Lu Shaohua decided to develop them simultaneously.

"Well, it's better to develop them simultaneously. As long as they are well prepared in advance, there will be no problem." This was Lu Shaohua's final answer, and it was the final decision.

"Okay, I'll call them in the evening and ask them to make preparations first," said Chen Guobang.

After Chen Guobang expressed his opinion, Lu Shaohua felt relieved. He believed that Chen Guobang knew what to prepare before developing oil without him having to tell him, so Lu Shaohua would not say anything more.

"Okay, let's deal with the Soviet oil fields." Lu Shaohua concluded, and thought for a moment, trying to recall if there were any issues he had missed. After finding nothing, Lu Shaohua continued. "Before I talk about the next topic, let me ask you, where is the most oil?"

"Haha!" Li Zhijie laughed. He laughed at Lu Shaohua's silly question, because in Lu Shaohua's plan, there was a mention of operations in the Middle East, and smart people would understand that the place with the most oil is the Middle East. Moreover, Li Zhijie and his people were all former special forces soldiers, so of course they knew the answer to this question.

Lu Shaohua glared at Li Zhijie unhappily. The originally serious atmosphere suddenly broke down after Li Zhijie smiled like that. However, Lu Shaohua was still very grateful to Li Zhijie in his heart, because Lu Shaohua also didn't like this kind of serious atmosphere. He felt that discussing issues in a relaxed manner was more in line with his personality.

It has to be said that Li Zhijie is very afraid of Lu Shaohua now, especially after Lu Shaohua killed three people with his own hands. He was a little afraid of Lu Shaohua. In the past, Lu Shaohua always had a smile on his face and seemed easy to get along with, so he just went along happily. But when he saw that Lu Shaohua was still calm after killing someone, Li Zhijie felt fear deep in his heart.

"Haha! Even my question is stupid." Lu Shaohua adjusted the atmosphere and then said, "Yes, the place with the most oil is the Middle East."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "There is too much oil in the Middle East, so there are many people who are jealous. Therefore, there is constant chaos there, and wars happen almost every day. If we want to control more oil, the more chaos they have, the better it is for us."

What the benefits were, everyone present knew without Lu Shaohua saying anything, because Lu Shaohua's plan clearly stated that he wanted to sell arms in exchange for money or oil fields.

"Let me ask you a question." Qian Qian spoke up as soon as Lu Shaohua finished speaking. "Although the war in the Middle East continues, they seem to have their own arms suppliers. If we go to compete with them, not only will we not be able to connect with them, but it's also a question whether they will want us."

"Well, Brother Qian hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what I wanted to talk about." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Two issues, establishing connections and selling out."

Then, before anyone could speak, Lu Shaohua began to explain. "Let's talk about selling first. Why wouldn't they want our weapons? Our weapons are better than others. As long as they have money or oil fields, even missiles, we have the ability to make them. This is our advantage, so there is no problem of not being able to sell them."

Lu Shaohua is a typical businessman who knows how to use his advantages to compete with others. Therefore, the problem of not being able to sell products does not really exist, because the secret base can actually produce weapons that are more advantageous than others.

"As for the connection problem, I don't think it exists either." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "It's mainly about intelligence. As long as we find out that the organization needs arms, we can go to them and offer our arms. I believe they will trade with us."

Doing business, doing business, there is no natural line, it still depends on manpower to build it. Lu Shaohua believes that Xie Jianwei and others have the ability to do this well.

Qian Qian scratched his head awkwardly. He suddenly felt that he had gone off topic and forgot that he was involved in the situation. That was why he did not take it into consideration and that was why he asked this question.

"Haha!" Li Zhijie laughed loudly, and then said, "Brother Qian, you also make mistakes sometimes."

It was a joke, it was a naked joke. There was nothing he could do, Li Zhijie was a relatively active person, he was serious only when something big happened a few days ago, but now that the matter was resolved, he had returned to his original personality.

"Speechless," Qian Qian was a little speechless. He simply ignored Li Zhijie's teasing, turned his head away and said nothing.

Chen Guobang was different. He thought that everyone should be serious and earnest on this occasion. Li Zhijie had just ruined the atmosphere once, and now he was doing it again. As the big brother, he couldn't stand it.

"Zhijie, be serious." Chen Guobang shouted, and then threatened. "If you do this again, I will transfer you back to Shenzhen to look after the base over there."

This trick was very effective. Li Zhijie suddenly closed his mouth and dared not make a sound. Fear was written all over his face, as if he was afraid that Chen Guobang would really transfer him back to Shenzhen in a fit of rage. His expression was so funny that the whole audience couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even Chen Guobang couldn't help but burst out laughing in the end.

"Ha ha"
