Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 376: Alliance (Chinese)

Himmler exited the door respectfully. After closing the door, the Minister of the Interior re-emerged his proud face, and glanced coldly at the British envoys sitting at the door. @

"Eric, the head of state asked you to bring the British in." Turning to Dizenhofen, Himmler's poker face showed a kind smile.

"Understood, Your Excellency Minister, are you going back now?" Disenhofen asked respectfully. This is where the head of the adjutant is most satisfied with Himmler. The farmer’s self-esteem is compensated.

"Yes, there are still many things to wait for me to solve, so see you next time, Eric." Himmler sorted out his tie and gave a hand-raising gesture to Disenhofen.

"Hi! Reinhardt!"

After receiving the return from Disenhofen, Himmler strode toward the exit at the top of the corridor, and the adjutant and bodyguards waiting for him rushed forward to follow him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Your Excellency, now you can go in." Disenhofen opened the office door and made an invitation gesture.

"A few of you are waiting outside." Attlee stood up and sorted out the clothes and appearance with the help of the secretary.

"The Head of State, the British Special Envoy, Lord Attlee and Lord Lloyd are here." Disenhofen announced to Xu Jun loudly.

Attlee and Lloyd stood at the doorway to pay tribute to Xu Jun, and then strode toward Xu Jun's desk.

Hitler’s Prime Minister’s office was unusually huge. It was almost fifteen meters away from the door to the desk. When I encountered a psychologically sensitive person, this distance would make people feel like walking on the street. But these two British politicians have long been accustomed to this kind of scene. The State Hall of Buckingham Palace is a little more open than here. At that time, they were not the same state of grandeur under the spectator of the circle of ministers, not to mention this office. There are currently only two German heads of state and his adjutant.

Before the British came in, Xu Jun stood up early and waited behind that huge desk, with a standard elegant smile on his face.

"Welcome to you, Mr. Attlee, Mr. Lloyd." Xu Jun spread his hands at the two British envoys.

"I am very pleased to have received you, Honorable Head of State." The two Britons greeted in unison and bowed their heads to Xu Jun with the highest diplomatic etiquette.

"Please sit down, two gentlemen." Xu Jun stood up and gestured to the other party.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency." After thanking Adelie and Lloyd, they bent over and sat on the sofa at the desk.

"Okay, relax, gentlemen, do you want some tea? Or coffee?" Xu Jun sat back on his throne, **** the velvet covered in the armrest, and asked gently.

"Tea, thank you very much, Your Excellency." Aideli replied respectfully.

"Me too, Your Excellency," Lloyd replied.

"Eric, a pot of black tea, thank you." Xu Jun extended his neck to Disenhofen who was still standing at the door waiting for instructions.

"Okay, please wait, my head." The adjutant nodded, then opened the door and walked out of the office.

"I received Mr. Chamberlain's call very late, so I didn't have time to prepare to receive you." Xu Jun picked up the cigar box on the table and opened the lid to signal to the two envoys.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, this visit is really a hasty, it should be we take the liberty." Attlee picked up the cigar from the cigar box. Lloyd pushed away respectfully.

"I smoke this, Your Excellency." He took a pipe from his pocket.

"Please feel free, Mr. Lord." Xu Jun smiled and put the cigar box back on the desk.

"How is Prime Minister Chamberlain's body now." Xu Jun struck a match and raised his hand to the match box.

"The situation is better than last month. The medical team sent by Germany is very good and played a very important role in the stability of the Prime Minister's condition." Attlee replied.

"Is it Penicillin?" Xu Jun finished smoking two cigars before throwing the matchstick into the ashtray.

"Yes, Your Excellency, that is really a magic drug. Our scientists are working with German scientists to study the problem of mass production. We believe that once this drug is put into the international market, it will bring huge tremendous benefits to the entire world. Change. A large number of fatal diseases will be effectively controlled, which will be the gospel of the entire human race." Attlee replied enthusiastically.

"I think so, and we will fully support this research. However, according to our information, the country across the Pacific is also conducting the same research, but progress is very slow, far behind our current Process, so I suggest to strengthen the protection of research results, to know that those profit-making upstarts can do everything to achieve their goals." Xu Jun, while pretending to be proud of himself, did not forget to stop by the group of American financial chaos We have a hand.

"It is true, Your Excellency, we have made preparations in this regard. The benefits involved in this research are immeasurable. The British Empire is confident to guarantee foolproof." Attlee replied confidently.

"I have never doubted the ability of the British Empire, Mr. Attlee. Now let's talk about the business. About your mission this time, Mr. Chamberlain did not tell clearly on the phone. Is it possible to tell me in detail? Let me explain what the UK wants Germany to do." Xu Jun tapped the table with his fingers.

"I'm very sorry, Dear Excellency, it's really a matter of importance. I can't say too much on the phone. Before explaining the intention, please take a look at the document I brought." Attlee picked up the briefcase around him , Extracted a stack of documents from the inside, and passed the top one respectfully to Xu Jun's desk.

"This is?" Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray, and then curiously picked up the document and read it carefully.

"Has the situation in the document been confirmed?" Xu Jun looked at the document and frowned and asked.

"It is the intelligence we collected at the local embassy, ​​and it has also been confirmed by Iranian officials. We believe that it is necessary to notify Germany in time." Attlee replied.

"Our diplomats are dereliction of duty, and we are very grateful for your government's timely announcement. This is a substantial manifestation of the friendship between the two countries. I believe that on this basis, the two countries can continue to deepen their cooperation." Xu Jun Nodded and applauded.

Hearing Xu Jun's words, the faces of Attlee and Lloyd suddenly showed joy.

"Dear Excellency, this is also considered by the British Empire. During this time, we have been working on repairing the relationship between Britain and Germany, and we have made significant progress." Lord Lloyd said.

The content of the document is indeed very important for Germany, and directly touched the core issue of Xu Jun's completion of the next strategy. Germany in history has always been troubled by the shortage of energy and fuel. Hitler even bowed down to seek help from his most hated enemy, but no matter how hard Germany tried, in the historical environment at that time, it wanted to be thorough. The probability of solving this problem is close to zero.

Germany lacked enough fossil fuels. In fact, Germany lacked everything except coal, iron and potatoes.

The First World War and the Treaty of Versailles severely damaged the German economy, resulting in him not having much extra money to buy the resources he needed. Heavy foreign debt forced Germany to come up with a barter transaction method, and the resources needed were used for production. To exchange industrial products.

But there is an important resource that is difficult for Germany to obtain even if it sells iron in a pot. That is the most important petroleum raw material for an industrial country.

At that time, Germany’s chemical industry was very developed, and it was already able to skillfully extract usable fuel from coal. In 1940, Germany already had 20 large synthetic oil fields, which could provide 4 million tons of synthetic fuel every year, accounting for almost More than 40% of the fuel required in Germany The remaining 60% can only be imported from major oil-producing regions.

But the world's most important oil-producing regions have basically been divided up by the major powers, and they have not left a small share of Germany at all. Especially after the battle of Poland started, under the British-French breadcrumb, the only way for Germany to obtain oil was the Soviet Union and Romania.

The problem is that the Soviet Union is immersing itself in industrial construction, which consumes a lot of energy and has a very limited share for export. In Romania’s oil fields, more than 90% of the shares are controlled by oil companies in Britain, France, the United States, and other countries. The government’s own share is only 9.7%. After the war, countries such as Britain and France relied on snapping up to buy Romania The output was swept away. As a result, Germany imported only a poor 100,000 tons of oil from Romania before the war.

In fact, since this time, the shadow of the German fuel crisis has begun to hang over this empire.

Although Germany defeated France quickly in the history, it took more than half of Europe in its hands, seized millions of tons of oil reserves of the occupying power, and the total amount of reserves once reached 12 million tons. This data caused the illusion that The fuel problem that plagued Germany no longer exists.

But in fact, Germany's apparent occupation of the European countries is actually a lot of burden, because the fuel supply of these countries will also be provided by the German side.

In fact, only a small part of these seized oil reserves were taken and used by Germany, and most of them were still digested by the occupied country itself, because when they surrendered to Germany, they also lost all their oil sources at the same time. The British Navy has also classified their oil tankers as targets for the blockade.

In order to show the excellence of the new order of the Third Reich, and perhaps also to prevent the backyard from catching fire, Germany puffed up its fat face and provided those occupying powers with oil resources that were hard to obtain. This is also the biggest reason why Germany's reserves will quickly reduce to dangerous amounts when the Eastern Front starts. To put it bluntly, Germany’s oil source has not increased, but the consumption target has increased several times.

Eventually, when Romania fell and the domestic synthetic oil plant was destroyed by strategic bombing than the Anglo-American bombardment, the Third Reich had millions of troops with countless technical equipment, but they were no longer able to launch any large-scale battles.

But history has changed now, and the situation in Germany is very different. At present, the oil source of the empire has been guaranteed. Not only can it import oil from Romania and the Soviet Union, but also get the share of crude oil produced by British and French colonial oil companies.
