On the shallow beach of Vung Tau, the sea breeze was blowing.
Although it was still a bit cold in the North at this time, in a place like Southeast Asia where there is no winter, the sun was shining brightly and golden sunlight was shining down from above.
On the streets of the town, local people are either barefoot or wearing simple straw sandals and are busy.
From time to time, steamships spitting out black smoke approach the port.
Since it became a French colony, more and more external Elements are also injected here.
Of course, there are also Japanese geishas wearing kimonos and twisting their waists.
In a small town, there is a small building with a Japanese style, and geishas appear in it from time to time.
If you put some thought into it, you will find that Japan also has a large number of geishas in Shanghai and various parts of Northeast China.
It seems that the achievements since the Meiji Restoration have not been shared much by these poor poor women.
In fact, the degree of internal political strife and darkness in some so-called technologically powerful countries at this time is far beyond the imagination of later generations.
A political power itself is a process of continuous improvement.
"Hu Jianmingjun, have you brought the information I want?"
Yu Mingbingwei sat across the table from a muscular man in his thirties and poured a cup of tea for him and asked respectfully.
"Of course, I have brought the information, but are you ready with the money I need?"
Although the muscular man was sitting on his knees, his spine was straight, giving people the threat of being violent and hurting people at any time, making Umei Bingwei, a karate master, feel like he was facing a ferocious beast.
"Of course it's ready."
Yu Mingbingwei took out a small box from the side, with dozens of gold bars neatly placed inside.
"This little thing is still far from the price we negotiated before.
You'd better not play any tricks with me.
Otherwise, it won't be too difficult for our organization to end your power in Vung Tau.
It's something."
The strong man said suddenly.
"Of course, this is just an advance payment, but I also want to inspect the goods first.
If the information is indeed as valuable as you said before, then we will not lose a penny less.
We, the Empire of Japan Samurai are very honest."
Yu Mingbingwei was not angry at the threat of the strong man.
There were some white people behind him, and maybe some Chinese from Southeast Asia were among them.
He was also a little unclear about him now.
The origin.
"The situation of the oil fields in Borneo has basically been investigated clearly.
According to the current data, the reserves of the oil fields are at least one billion tons.
Maybe this number is a bit fictitious and not very accurate, but the current crude oil production volume in a year has reached More than seven million tons, here it was last year The specific data on the oil fields sold to various countries, as well as the newly invested machinery and equipment, are estimated to produce no less than 8 million tons of oil this year.
I think this should be what your country needs urgently."
The document bag that had been prepared long ago was handed to Yu Mingbingwei.
Umei Bingwei opened it and took a rough look at it.
His originally calm face suddenly became agitated.
No wonder he was so excited, but Japan's dependence on oil has indeed reached its extreme at this time.
As an important intelligence officer of the Navy, Umei Bingwei was very familiar with Japan's oil tension at this time.
The crude oil produced in Japan is very limited.
Among them, Hokkaido has less than 8,000 tons a year, Taiwan has about 320,000 tons, the Kitakatai oil lease area has about 200,000 tons, and Honshu has only about 230,000 tons a year.
The total amount is only more than 470,000 tons.
As early as 1930, Japan consumes an astonishing 1.8 million tons of oil a year.
Among them, the navy has about 350,000 to 400,000 tons, and the army does not exceed 100,000 tons.
With the increase of warships and the rapid expansion of the air force, this ratio is rising sharply.
With the process of industrialization, Japan's annual commercial ships, cars, fishing boats, factories, and lighting are increasingly dependent on oil.

So far, Japan's annual oil consumption has reached nearly 4 million tons, and this number is still rising.
Although Japan has been continuously increasing its strategic petroleum reserves, Umeibei's level is not enough to touch the core, but according to his calculations, it will only be six to seven million tons.
Every year, Japan has a huge oil shortage and relies heavily on imports.
However, the Borneo oil field can now produce more than 7 million tons a year, and it can continue to rise.
It can fully meet all the needs of Japan.
The Borneo oil field is also the closest large oil field to Japan.
Moreover, in the entire Southeast Asia, there is no force that can compete head-on with the combined fleet.
Even the British fleet in the Far East is not something to be afraid of for the arrogant Japanese.
As the situation in Europe becomes increasingly tense, it is simply impossible for the main force of the British fleet to cross the Suez Canal and come to Southeast Asia to compete with the Allied Fleet.
An oil field of such a large scale is a huge gap for Japan, which has a huge gap in crude oil, and this gap is getting bigger and bigger.
It is undoubtedly a fatal temptation.
Of course, Japan can still rely on imports to fill this gap.
At present, the Japanese navy is not crazy enough to go all out for this oil field.
But it is no longer just a matter of a day or two for the Borneo oil fields to enter the eyes of Japanese senior officials.
"I also have some information about tin mines and copper mines here.
If you are interested, all these can be provided as long as you pay."
Seeing Yu Mingbingwei's surprised expression, the strong man felt a little contempt in his heart.
One day , these people will fall into the abyss because of their greed.
"Very good, it's really a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Yu Mingbei clapped his hands, and two middle-aged men dressed in kimonos each came over with a small bag of gold bars.
"This is your reward.
If it is possible to obtain the situation of garrisoning troops in various places, the empire will definitely not be stingy with money."
"About the situation of the garrison?
This is a bit difficult.
I have to deal with the relationship up and down, and also deal with some aftermath matters.
The cost is not a small amount."
After checking the gold bars, the strong man twitched the corner of his mouth and slapped With a snap of his fingers, two tall black men strode in and put away the gold bars.
"That's easy to say.
Anyway, the remuneration will definitely satisfy you."
Yu Mingbei said cheerfully, "Isn't our current cooperation going very smoothly?"
"Okay, I can't give you a specific reply on this matter.
I need to go back and report to Mr.
Mike to comment on the risks.
That's it for today.
Say goodbye."
The strong man stood up and cupped his hands, leading two black men.
Follow him and walk away.
Umei Bingwei held the cup and drank all the tea in it, his pair of triangular eyes flashing dangerously
