Battle of the Third Reich

According to preliminary estimates by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs, by the end of this year, Germany’s monthly demand for oil will increase by 35 percent compared with that before the war. ∈↗,

According to the original German oil reserves, there may be a gap of 4.5-5 million tons by the end of the year, which is the result of increasing the production of synthetic fuel by 20%.

Had Germany not ended the war in a timely manner and opened up access to oil from the British and French colonies, the German fuel crisis would not only repeat itself, but would also be more serious than in history.

The oil fields in Romania are working hard to increase production. Because of Xu Jun, Germany has not yet sent troops to the country as in history, but Xu Jun has not ignored this most important oil-producing country. Antonescu in the last month Almost every week I have to call Xu Jun once or twice.

In the past two weeks, the conversation has become particularly frequent. The Romanian dictator was terrified on the phone. He constantly explained to Xu Jun the pressure and threat imposed by the giant bear on the east of Romania, and tried his best. Request Germany to provide Romania with military support as soon as possible.

Even if the German infantry sent a division, at least it could deter the penetration of Soviet armed personnel along the border and ensure the safety of the eastern border.

Antonescu claims that a group of organizations has suddenly appeared in the country, and his secret police force has seized a dozen cases of conspiracy to destroy production and assassinate government officials.

Antonescu also hinted that the fierce red giant bear was looming behind all the cases. The Romanian general tried to convince Xu Jun that the Soviet Union had quietly shot in the Balkans.

Regarding Antonescu’s words, Xu Jun only believed in the middle 30%. The dictator’s reputation in the German government was better than Bia Pingning’s big chin, but it does not mean that he would not add to the existing situation and add some vinegar. Too exaggerated description.

In Xu Jun's view, Romania's problems are not as troublesome as imagined. The dictator was blindfolded by his own imagination, and bluntly speaking, it was entirely he who was there to scare himself.

So Xu Jun just responded to Antonescu politely. Germany will fulfill the agreement signed with Romania. If Germany thinks it necessary, it will send some troops into Romania to provide security protection for this country. It's not time to get there.

The European War is over, and Germany, which has no worries, is slowly shifting its defense focus to the east. Once the German-Soviet war broke out, Romania, as an ally of Germany, will inevitably become the focus of the Soviet-German army's rivalry because of its geographical environment and strategic value.

However, as far as the German intelligence department knows, Romania is indeed under some political pressure, but the military threat does not yet exist.

After removing the obstacles between Britain and France, Germany can now obtain 300,000 tons of crude oil from Romania every month, and this amount will increase by half in the future. But even so, Germany still cannot fully meet the oil needs of its own country and the military.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Jun’s goal is to obtain 20 million tons of crude oil every year, but even now, even if that part of Southeast Asia’s oil is counted, there are still certain difficulties in achieving this goal.

Because in this period of time, the oil production of the British and French colonies was not as large as that of later generations, and was limited to exploration and drilling technologies. A large number of high-yield oil fields in the later generations have not been discovered at this time, and some of the oil fields that have been exploited because of the scale of development. Production is still very limited.

The largest oil producers in the world are the Soviet Union and the United States, especially the latter, whose annual oil production accounts for almost half of the total global production. Compared with American oil companies that produce 190 million tons of oil annually, the output of the two to three million tons in the Middle East is not worth mentioning.

Compared with the United States, the oil resources in the hands of European countries at this time are equivalent to the difference between faucets and fire hoses.

Because the war was over, European countries began to import large amounts of crude oil from the United States to supplement almost dry oil reserves and invest in the most important national reconstruction projects.

At present, the US government can't find any reason to prevent these transactions. Wall Street capital tycoons have only money in their eyes. In the face of astronomically calculated profits, anyone who dares to block these beasts from eating can imagine how the end will be. miserable.

Of course, Germany also joined the ranks of importing fuel oil from the United States. At that month, there were already three large oil tankers with a capacity of more than 100,000 tons, which were loaded with US-produced oil and docked in German seaports.

What is interesting is that these fuel-filled British and Canadian tankers were still the favorite prey of the German navy submarines a month ago. I don’t know those tanker captains saw the U-shaped submarine with the German navy flag slowly sailing from the side of the ship. Outdated, what is the feeling in my heart.

But Xu Jun only treats these US oils as temporary reserves. What he needs is a stable energy channel that can be effectively controlled in his hands, and he will never put the lifeblood of the country in the hands of uncontrollable forces.

Once the Eastern Front war broke out, the energy issue would not allow any errors, because the gains and losses of thousands of barrels of fuel at that time would directly affect the success or failure of a critical battle.

So Xu Jun recently focused his attention on Iran, a Middle East country that has always been pro-German in attitude, and the friendly relations between the two countries are long-lasting. After Hitler came to power, he made the Germans believe that the Iranians and the Germans belong to the Aryan race. They are German blood relatives in the Middle East. The origin of the name Iran is the place where the Aryans live.

Iran’s current Pahlavi dynasty founding monarch Reza Khan, who was on duty in front of the German embassy in Tehran when he was young, has always had a good impression of Germany. After taking office, he continued to hold the previous dynasty. The pro-German philosophy has developed close exchanges and development with Germany in various fields, especially military.

When the European War broke out, Iran claimed to maintain strict neutrality, but in fact has always maintained private contacts with Germany. These things have long been known to the British.

If it were not for Xu Jun to overthrow the British Empire, the British would start with Iran in the past four or one years in history.

In order to open up the supply channel from the Middle East to the Soviet Union and at the same time to expel the remaining pro-German forces in the Middle East, the British united the Soviet government, which had long been dying on this land, on the ridiculous reason that Iran did not expel the German diaspora. , Outrageously launched an invasion of Iran.

The Allied forces overthrew the pro-German Reza Khan government and helped his son Pahlavi to ascend to the throne of the Iranian king. During the period before the war ended, the young prince became a puppet of the colonists.

Although history has become unrecognizable at this moment, the dangers facing Iran have not disappeared, even because of the glorious victory of Germany, forcing the hidden opponents to start the layout in advance.

In Xu Jun’s plan, Iran can provide Germany with about 8 million tons of oil every year. If investment and development efforts are increased, the crude oil reserves of the Iranian oil field currently explored will produce 1,500 to 1,000 a year. Seven million tons of fuel is not too difficult.

Understand that in the history of the British and Soviet Union’s joint occupation of Iran, this country has burst out of 13 million tons of ultra-high output, while the output of Iraqi oil fields controlled by the British in the same period was only half of it.

"Mr. Attlee, I'm glad you brought these important information. I think we can be honest and open, you can ask me your request." Xu Jun took the tea cup from Disenhofen and put it in Smell the fragrance of black tea lightly.
