Later history proved that Mobil Oil Company handed over by Beiyang warlord government did not bring hope to China's oil industry. On the contrary, its drilling failure cast a shadow on China's future oil exploration and development, causing a series of adverse effects. After the failure of the investigation in China, Mobil Oil Company began to spread pessimistic views on international occasions, criticizing that "China can't produce a lot of oil in both marine strata and continental strata" and came to the conclusion that "China is not an oil producer, but an oil consumer". China's "oil-poor theory" originated from this, and the label of "oil-poor country" fell on the head of the people of China for decades.
After the failure of the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen learned from a bitter experience and began to reflect on the success or failure of the Great Revolution, systematically conceiving the future and future of China. 1965438+In February 2009, Sun Yat-sen wrote the book "Industrial Plan" and published it together with two other books as "General Plan for the Founding of the People's Republic of China". The development of China petroleum industry is described comprehensively. Sun Yat-sen firmly believed that China was rich in oil, emphasized the necessity and urgency of developing oil and realizing domestic oil self-sufficiency, and included it in the industrial plan as a national policy, which clarified the basic strategy of developing oil industry in the Republic of China.
History has proved that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's judgment and strategy are correct. With the continuous development of China's economy and society, oil not only becomes an important industry, but also rises to the height of national security and becomes a strategic resource that determines the lifeline of economic and social development. After the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it was not until 193 1 the National Defense Design Committee of the General Staff of the Republic of China was established (later renamed the Resources Committee, under the leadership of the Military Committee) that the petroleum industry was included in the category of national defense industry. Chiang Kai-shek personally served as chairman. However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek had already betrayed the Revolution of 1911 and left Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "General Plan for the Founding of the Country" behind him. In order to implement its dictatorship, civil wars were launched one after another, pushing the people of China into the abyss of war, and they had no time to take care of the development of the oil industry.
