As we all know, the Japanese army launched the Pacific War in order to occupy Southeast Asia and obtain much-needed strategic resources such as oil. Fighting is about resources, whether it is tanks, planes or warships. Without oil, it's just a pile of scrap metal.
The Japanese know, and the Americans know better. With the victory of the US military in the Pacific battlefield, it has become a common practice to block Japan's oil transportation. Although the Japanese army controlled the oil fields in Southeast Asia, it was sad to find that it could not be shipped back!
American submarines wandered around and found Japanese oil tankers, which sank without saying anything. By the time of 1944 to 1945, not only could Japan not bring back oil, but the local oil production also fell below 1 10,000 barrels. What are we going to do? I can't fight anymore.
Japanese experts used their brains and imagination to give birth to one? Great? It was found that pine root oil was boiled from pine roots with high oil content, and then the pine root oil was distilled to obtain light oil, which was finally mixed with alcohol. Pine root gasoline? .
This will solve the problem! Ordinary people, don't be idle, dig roots!
Therefore, a vigorous root-digging movement has been set off all over Japan. When the children don't go to school, they will organize to dig loose roots everywhere, and they must dig enough.
So at that time, all the places in Japan with pine trees were swept away. People not only dug roots, but also experienced people refined oil on the spot. The scene is spectacular.
But how big is Japan? How many pine trees can there be?

Digging and digging, almost all the pine trees were dug up. In this way, they almost produced hundreds of tons of pine root gasoline.
However, this oil doesn't work at all. The curious American army later tried it. This kind of oil has high viscosity and serious carbon deposition, and even jeeps can't run for long, let alone planes and tanks.
All the people dig loose roots, right? Last madness? Let's go
