Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The golden fingers of time-travelers are all kinds of common sense in future generations. In this era, they will become a powerful advantage!

During World War II in the original time and space, the Axis and Allied forces saw each other back and forth in the North African desert. Thousands of tanks rolled over the gravel in Libya. It was there that the "Desert Fox" Rommel's troops finally The entire army was wiped out due to lack of fuel. As luck would have it, just when the fuel gauge on the German tank showed zero, they had no idea that there was abundant oil less than 100 miles away from the battlefield.

For more than 10 years after World War II, Libya, which was short of everything except sand, could only export two things. One was the stipa used to produce banknote paper, and the other was the wreckage of military vehicles that were damaged during the confrontation between the British and German armies in Libya. They are exported as scrap metal. The elderly King Idris I of Libya often had less than $5 in pocket money in his pocket. He really did not want to be the monarch. He wrote several times to abdicate, but was blocked by tribal chiefs with ulterior motives. Internationally, only the Wheelers Air Force Base of the United States in Libya can barely remind the world that there is such a country.

By the mid-1950s, more and more geologists speculated that there was oil in Libya. In 1955, the Kingdom of Libya promulgated the Petroleum Law, providing several smaller concession areas for mining. In 1957, Libya implemented the first round of mining bidding, and 17 American and European companies won the mining rights of 84 concession lands. However, the exploration work did not go smoothly, because Libya was so backward that anyone who wanted to call the headquarters of the American company had to fly to Italy. Geologists also encountered unprecedented challenges. During World War II, the German army planted more than 3 million landmines in the Libyan desert. Engineers and drillers were often killed and injured. Companies had to equip exploration teams with demining units, even at the expense of A lot of money was spent to invite German veterans who fought in the war to help clear mines.

For a long time, Libya's oil search operation was disappointing, and many large companies, including British Petroleum Company (BP), were even preparing to return home. However, in April 1959, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (SONJ) in the United States The test mining area that was about to be abandoned finally drilled a high-yield oil well. The engineer on duty wrote in a letter to the company headquarters: "This time Libya has won the jackpot."

Starting from this, by 1961, Libya had built 10 large oil fields with astonishing output. The formerly poor country suddenly became the target of Western powers vying to win over. Moreover, Libya produces "lovely" low-sulfur crude oil, which is ideal for the growing number of car users in Europe, which is just around the corner.

By 1965, Libya was the world's sixth largest oil exporter, with a daily crude oil production of more than 3 million barrels, accounting for 10% of the world's crude oil output. The surge in Libyan oil exports has significantly affected world oil prices.

More importantly, Libya is in a favorable location. There is no need to go through the Suez Canal or the Cape of Good Hope. It can be shipped to Europe in the shortest time!

Yannick knows all the oil mining locations very well. He doesn't even need to send people to confirm. He can directly build the oil production and refining base and wait for the underground oil to erupt.

Although Ming Dynasty's oil is now being continuously transported to Germany, during the war no one can guarantee the absolute safety of this transportation line. Even with the addition of Romania, Yanik still feels that it is not safe enough. Only Libya's inexhaustible oil fields in a short period of time can make people feel at ease.

Ribbentrop was at a loss. As far as he knew, the place was just a barren desert. "Then Your Highness, if they ask about the use..." Since you want to rent it, you have to use it for something.

This is even simpler. "Just tell them that I want to build a desert city for fun. When the lease is up, I will hand over the desert city to them intact without taking any money. There is only one condition, that is, everything from there All the resources we find belong to us. When you go back, talk to Miss Anne and ask her to allocate 10 million US dollars to you. If the negotiation in Italy doesn't work out, you have to help me get it done even if you spend money on it."

"..."Build a desert city for fun? If others heard this, they would definitely think it was ridiculous and think that Yannick was the prodigal son of prodigal sons, but Ribbentrop was not a fool. Judging from His Highness's behavior over the years, things would definitely not be that simple.

But he didn't dare to delve into it and agreed obediently. "As you command, Your Highness."

The next morning, after breakfast, Yannick came to Cambridge University.

The University of Cambridge has produced a number of scientific giants who led the times such as Newton and Darwin; it has produced literary and historical scholars with outstanding contributions such as Bacon and Keynes; it has cultivated epoch-making art masters such as Milton and Byron, and 8 people have emerged from here. The British Prime Minister and 92 Nobel Prize winners have established the University of Cambridge as the world's modern academic and cultural center.

"Welcome to Cambridge, Your Royal Highness Yannick. Your arrival has made our school shine!" A group of people were already waiting at the school gate, headed by the then principal.

"This is also my honor, Mr. Principal. I have wanted to visit this ancient and famous school a long time ago." Tsk, why didn't Yuan Shikong think of studying here? In that case, his fate might be completely different.

After some pleasantries, they came to the lecture theater. There were at least a thousand people sitting in the huge classroom.

"Today I'm here to share with you the writing methods of detective reasoning in the literary category of novels." At this point, Yannick paused and said with a smile. "I seem to have chosen the wrong topic. Talking about detective reasoning in Mr. Conan Doyle's hometown seems to be a trick? I hope he won't blame me, a junior, for talking nonsense."

The audience below burst into good-natured laughter. In the past few years, Yannick has published several classic novels in succession, and he can still be so humble, winning the favor of many people.

After a brief opening remarks, Yannick turned around and wrote three short lines on the blackboard.

The “incomprehensibility” of the beginning.

The "suspense" of the middle game.

The "unexpectedness" of the ending.

"In my opinion, a mystery novel that meets three criteria is an excellent mystery novel. If any of you here are interested in writing mystery novels, you might as well work in this direction."

"…………"

"Some people may think that the unexpected ending is too difficult to write. Readers have become accustomed to various endings. If you want to have a good ending, you can't stand it unless the process is wonderfully written or you don't have time to guess the ending. But it is the ability to constantly break the existing shackles that makes people happy. It can be called a masterpiece! Although there have been various surprising endings, various themes are constantly appearing in our lives - such as social phenomena, new technologies, etc.

………”

Yannick himself felt that the speech, which lasted for more than an hour, was pretty good. Everyone in the audience listened attentively. Many people took notebooks and took notes carefully, and no one deserted. When he finished speaking, the people in the audience applauded enthusiastically.
