Romanian Eagle

Chapter 514 Libyan Oil (2)

Antonico's worries were not felt at all by Warhawk, who was working far away in the desert. Because he had just come back from the drilling position exhausted, and he couldn't even wash the oil stains all over his body, and fell down on the bed full of peculiar smell.

The diesel engine that drove the drilling before had malfunctioned, and Warhawk took someone to repair it quickly. The diesel engines used for drilling are not small in size, and it is time-consuming and laborious to maintain, so that even the strong body of Warhawk is also exhausted. Now he just wants to rest and doesn't care about anything else.

While Warhawk was resting, the drilling rig continued to work. The people left behind are also meticulously checking the operation of the equipment. The rumble of the drilling rig is annoying enough, but these people are used to it. Some seem so ordinary.

Suddenly, the sound of "puchi" sounded, and the drill bit sank. Workers familiar with the drilling operation immediately realized what was being drilled.

"Go and call the captain, we should have drilled into something."

"Hopefully it won't be groundwater this time."

The drilling crews were chatting with each other. Before the people who ran to tell Warhawk to go away, the black oil sprayed out with the gray color of mud. The splashed oil was nearly 100 meters high, and the drilling rig was instantly changed to black.

"We hit the oil."

"Hahaha, the oil is out."

The people present cheered for the oil that came out. After nearly a year of hard work, they finally saw the results.

When Warhawk arrived at the rig, he couldn't help but be surprised by the spray of oil so high. "We're afraid we haven't hit a big oil field."

Because in Warhawk's life, he has never seen oil spray so high, and its spray is so fascinating. He couldn't help but gently stretched out his hand to catch the jet of crude oil and licked it slowly, and then carefully aftertaste-not astringent! Not bitter! This is a sign of good quality oil.

However, Warhawk was the captain in the end, and he immediately gave the order, regardless of the beauty of the oil jet.

"Quick, prepare the equipment to hold it down. You can't let crude go to waste, it's in the sand."

Under Warhawk's order, the members of the exploration team immediately prepared equipment to tame the irascible black dragon.

And Warhawk said to the defense captain who also came. "Send a telegram to the company, we've hit the oil."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the captain who was full of surprises, and took his team members into the work of taming.

The captain also knew the importance of the news of the oil release, and immediately arranged for his team to rush to the nearby town as quickly as possible to report the great news to the Italian government and the Italian oil company.

"It's out of oil."

The news quickly reached Benghazi.

The head of the area, panting, knocked on the door of Antonico, who was staying at the hotel, and told him the good news. The president of the Iiro Oil Company danced in the room.

If you can make a 180-pound fat man dance with the wind, you can imagine how much impact this news has on him. Anthony, whose pressure had disappeared, asked immediately after he stopped dancing. "Which exploration team?"

"The No. 12 exploration team drilled crude oil at a location 15 kilometers west of the Jialu Oasis. This is a high-yielding well with a daily crude oil output of 6,000 tons, and it is still high-quality oil."

When the local person in charge said this, his face turned red, and he was also stimulated by the good news.

"Let people rush over with equipment immediately, and the problem of oil transportation also needs to be solved. We need to let the Italian people see Libyan oil as soon as possible. In addition, bring the bonus to the exploration team and send it to everyone. I want everyone who explores to know that the company will not treat them badly.”

Anthony is the president of the company after all. After calming down, he quickly talked about all kinds of things that needed to be done.

"I will bring the equipment and money in person, and what about the transportation line?"

"you do not need to worry."

Anthony waved his hand and continued.

"The government will immediately order the construction of a road to connect it for short-term oil transportation. I will prepare for the oil pipeline as soon as I go back."

This oil company is mainly owned by the government, and I believe they are more anxious than themselves.

While the oil company was cheering on the oil news, Italy was not bad either.

"Prime Minister, Libya has drilled for oil."

Inside the Prime Minister's Palace, the secretary broke into Mussolini's office with a telegram and reported the good news to him.

"Great, now Italy finally has oil."

Hearing the good news, Mussolini, who was working, couldn't help but waved his fist.

All Italian oil is currently imported, and the discovery of oil in Libya is enough to make him happy.

Speaking of which, Mussolini was troubled by many offices after he came to power. The biggest headache for him is that Italy lacks various resources for industrial development, such as coal, iron ore, oil, etc. Anyway, all kinds of resources are lacking, except for the lack of population. But these people have to eat and work, how can this not bother him.

Finding oil now from Libya is definitely good news.

Musonieri took the telegram from the secretary and read it.

"Good, good, good."

After reading the telegram, Mussolili called out three times in a row. Because the telegram said that the calculation of oil production from oil wells, the preliminary estimate of the discovered oilfield reserves was about 500 million tons. As for how many, further exploration is needed.

A full 500 million tons of crude oil is enough for Italy's current use. For this good news, Mussolini was naturally overjoyed. Now he starts planning ideas about the Italian oil industry, where to put the oil industry? Whether to put it in Palermo, or in Genoa, where it has many followers, is a real question.

The news of Libya's oil output also quickly spread to Romania. When Edel heard the news, he didn't take it too seriously, which surprised the captain of the guard who reported to him, Horia.

No way, you already know that there are huge reserves of crude oil there, how can you make Edel happy.

And his attention is currently on Poland, because Piłsudski has just been named commander-in-chief of the army for life, which also represents Poland's entry into its dictatorship. The close relationship between Romania and Poland has forced Eder to focus on Poland.

In the context of the rapid replacement of several Polish governments and the increasingly chaotic political situation, Piłsudski became more and more dissatisfied with the government, and finally issued a statement calling for the resignation of the Witos cabinet. The new government was formed in the Heyeno-Piest alliance, which Piłsudski strongly criticized.

On May 12-14, 1926, Piłsudski returned to power in a coup (May Coup) supported by the Socialist Party, the Polish People's Party "Wizwollenie" faction, the Peasants' Party, and even the Communist Party. center.

Piłsudski wanted a bloodless conflict, but the government refused to back down; 215 soldiers and 164 civilians were killed and at least 900 wounded. On May 31, Sejm elected Piłsudski as President of Poland. But Piłsudski, knowing that the president has very limited powers, declined the position. Another long-time friend of his, Ignaci Moschicki, was elected president to replace him. Piłsudski's official position is army commander, and it seems that the marshal also understands the truth of power from the barrel of a gun.

At present, Romania is too closely linked to Poland's economy. If Piłsudski has any other ideas, it will make Romania uncomfortable. Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.

"Your Majesty, our ambassador talked to Piłsudski. Your Excellency the Marshal, promised not to revise the Lobo Friendship Treaty, and at the same time he expressed his importance to the relationship with Romania."

Now Eder is finally at ease with Poland.
