However, after entering modern times, our country has become a "poor country", and this dilemma has not been solved even for a long time when the founding of New China was founded.

Our country is one of the earliest countries in the world to discover and utilize oil. However, after entering modern times, our country has become a "poor country", and this dilemma has not been solved even for a long time when the founding of New China in .

In 1949, my country's crude oil production was only 120,000 tons. As we all know, oil is the food of the industry, and removing the hat of a poor country has become an urgent task. To this end, Chairman Mao had met with the famous geologist Li Siguang , four times.

1956, with the unremitting efforts of geological detectors, China's first large oil and gas field, Karamay Oilfield, was discovered in in Junggar Basin. However, compared with the increasing demand for oil, the Karamay Oilfield's oil production volume was still a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem of serious oil shortage.

This situation has become increasingly urgent as China and the Soviet Union gets into conflict. By 1958, many cars were forced to break down, and even some troops' exercises were forced to be cancelled. Therefore, after a meeting and research, the central government decided to send a Deligan general to find oil.

And with the recommendation of Peng Dehuai, Chairman Mao met Yu Qiuli. In this way, Yu Qiuli, who was only 43 years old at the time, became the newly established Minister of Petroleum. Under Yu Qiuli's leadership, the oil exploration of New China also made breakthroughs. Daqing Oilfield , Shengli Oilfield , Dagang Oilfield , etc. were successively discovered, and the hat of the poor oil country has completely become history.

One-armed general, with many meritorious achievements

1914, Yu Qiuli was born in a peasant family in Luling, Jiangxi Province. It is precisely because he was born in the countryside that he had already realized the sufferings of the people and social injustice that he participated in Red Army at the age of 15.

Afterwards, he participated in the peasant riot in Ji'an County and joined the Communist Party in 1931. Later, he studied at the Red Army University and participated in several anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations.

Because of his bravery in combat, his position has been continuously promoted. On the eve of Long March 2, he had become the political commissar of the 18th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Red Second Army. During the Long March, after the Red Second Legion and Red Sixth Legion were combined, other troops once served as the forerunner of the Red Second Legion. When

reached the junction of Guizhou and Yunnan in 1936, it was blocked and surrounded by the Kuomintang Wan Huihuang unit. He Long then ordered Yu Qiuli's troops to intercept the enemy. With the advantage of occupying the commanding heights, the Red Army severely damaged the enemy. Seeing that the enemy was at a disadvantage, he immediately retreated into a ravine and built fortifications to shoot. During the battle, seeing that the regiment commander Chuangxing was about to be shot by the enemy, Yu Qiuli hurriedly pulled him to the ground. Chuangxing escaped, but Yu Qiuli was injured in his left arm because he could only perform simple bandage during the battle and continued to fight.

Then Yu Qiuli's troops were ordered to cover the transfer of the main force. In order to complete the task, his left arm was injured again when he rushed to the top of the mountain. Successive injuries were blocked and pursuers were intercepted. Although Yu Qiuli's injuries were cared for by He Long, Ren Bishi and others, he still had to choose to endure the pain and cut off his arm due to the loss of surgical instruments and the situation was critical.

"Boss, the enemy broke my left arm, I still have my right arm, as long as I have a breath, I will carry out the revolution to the end."

In September 1936, when Red Second Front Army arrived in Gansu, Yu Qiuli had an operation. After the operation, Yu Qiuli said to He Long who was waiting beside him.

And Yu Qiuli did this. During the subsequent Anti-Japanese War, Yu Qiuli led his troops to participate in the 00 Regiment War, and then established a revolutionary base in Ningwu . During his return to Yan'an, he organized large-scale production training, and then advanced to northwest Shanxi . As He Long said: "In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yu Qiuli fought the world's first regiment."

Liberation War Time, Yu Qiuli made great achievements in the liberation of the northwest and annihilation of the southern part of Hu Zong under the command of General Peng. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he performed his duties in the southwest and other regions and held many important positions in the logistics department. When he was awarded the title in 1955, Yu Qiuli was also awarded the rank of lieutenant general.

It can be said that General Yu Qiuli has made many achievements.In terms of military governance, Yu Qiuli is even more resolute and courageous. It can be said that it is precisely this advantage that when the central government was discussing finding a leader who was looking for oil, Peng Dehuai and others chose to highly recommend Yu Qiuli.

Chairman Mao was also very satisfied with everyone's recommendation of Yu Qiuli, but he still asked to make an appointment. In this way, Chairman Mao soon met Yu Qiuli at the Juxiang Bookstore in Zhongnanhai. Looking at the heroic one-armed general, Chairman Mao affectionately called himself "Jiangxi cousin" and immediately started a conversation.

Yu Qiuli was actually a little worried about the recommendations of General Peng, Premier Zhou and others. After all, he has never been engaged in industry and has no experience, and finding oil is a top priority. Therefore, Yu Qiuli also tried to ask the chairman if he could reselect someone with stronger abilities.

However, what surprised Yu Qiuli was that in the face of his refusal, Chairman Mao asked a sudden question: " Qiuli , how old are you this year?"

Yu Qiuli did not hesitate to the chairman's answer, and immediately replied "43 years old". When the Chairman heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"43 years old, still very young!" The implication of

is self-evident. Chairman Mao then patted Yu Qiuli on the shoulder and said, "I'm back with a long hair, and the car has no oil." "Oil is a big problem, and national construction is inseparable."

As the leader of the logistics department, Yu Qiuli naturally knew that the exercise was forced to be cancelled due to oil shortage, and also knew that oil was related to the national industry. He immediately said that it is indeed necessary to solve the problem of oil shortage urgently.

In this way, during a earnest conversation, Chairman Mao handed over this difficult task to this general who is decisive and strict in his military administration.

After Yu Qiuli took office, he immediately invited a series of experts to inquire about the relevant situation, and at the same time rectified the bad work style of the agency and encouraged the exploration team that sought oil.

soon, after experiencing the failure to find oil in Sichuan, it was discovered in the Daqing Oilfield in Songliao Basin. Looking at the gushing oil, all the explorers were excited, and the hat of the poor country was completely removed.

But this is just the beginning. In just a few years, Shengli Oilfield, Dagang Oilfield and other fields were discovered one after another, and oil-poor countries have also gradually moved towards oil-rich countries.

In 1999, the 85-year-old general passed away, pay tribute!
