Chapter 73
In February 1936 AD, the Third Reich's National Strategic Reserve had begun to be implemented.
The Third Reich began to secretly purchase rubber, non-ferrous metals and oil on the international market.
In order to build up enough reserves of rubber, non-ferrous metals and oil before the outbreak of war.
In this way, even if overseas trade lines are cut off after the war breaks out, the Third Reich will be able to persist for a longer period of time. Even persisted until the war was decisively won.
But no matter how secretive the Third Reich's actions were, it was impossible to keep them completely secret.
The Gallic Kingdom and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets were wary of the Third Reich and had been wary of the Third Reich's actions.
When they discovered these actions of the Third Reich, they immediately began to compete with the Third Reich.
Even though the Third Reich bought a lot of resources in the beginning. However, after the addition of the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the Third Reich's national strategic reserves encountered a lot of trouble.
It is undoubtedly very difficult to implement successfully.
This situation was not unexpected by Hess.
As a result, Hess made timely arrangements, changed his strategy, and focused on buying rubber. Even if the price is raised, we must buy as much rubber as possible. Because of this kind of resource, the Third Reich had no way to obtain it from other places for a while.
Unless during the war, the Third Reich can defeat the Royal Navy, break through the naval blockade of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and reopen overseas trade lines. Otherwise, artificial rubber will have to be used again. But artificial rubber can only solve problems, and the quality is really not flattering. It would be best if you could not use it.
When the price of rubber continued to rise, this put the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets under tremendous pressure.
No matter how wealthy they are, they cannot afford to keep buying rubber at high prices.
This caused the two countries to retreat in this field, allowing the Third Reich to take the opportunity to purchase a lot of rubber.
Although these rubbers are stored, the quality will also be affected. However, if the storage method is appropriate, it can still be stored for a long time. At least, the performance is much better than synthetic rubber.
Because so much money was spent on rubber, the Third Reich's reserves of non-ferrous metals, oil and grain were affected.
This forced Hess to adopt a backup plan
"Neurat, I hope you can serve as my special envoy to visit the Woolly Bear Alliance. Meet with Joseph, the Great Elder of the Woolly Bear Alliance. We need to get a lot of non-ferrous metals, oil and food from the Wooly Bear Alliance!" Hess said
"Yes, Your Excellency. But will the Furry Bear Alliance agree?"Constantin von Neuratt was a little worried.
"The Furry Bear Alliance will agree. Although the industrial output value of the Woolly Bear Alliance already ranks first in Europe. However, their industrial strength is still very weak. Especially in the fields of advanced equipment and technology, there is a huge gap compared with the world's advanced level. If we sell them some machinery and equipment, or even some advanced technologies, the Woolly Bear Alliance will sell us the resources we want!"Hess was very sure.
Hess clearly remembered that in order to develop industry, the Woolly Bear Alliance did not hesitate to forcibly collect food, export it to Europe, exchange for foreign exchange, and import machinery and equipment.
Although with the efforts of the Woolly Bears, their industry The strength has been significantly improved. But generally speaking, these are extensive industries with very low technical content.
Especially in the military industry, due to the lack of advanced equipment, Mao Xiong is unable to manufacture tanks and aircraft in key areas. produce world-class tanks and aircraft.
In war, you can only win with numerical superiority.
If the Third Reich is willing to provide some mechanical equipment and technology to the Woolly Bear Alliance, the Woolly Bear Alliance will definitely be very happy.
After all, the Third Reich The military technology of the Furious Bear Alliance is definitely at the leading level in the world.
Let the Furry Bear Alliance use non-ferrous metals, oil and food in exchange for these mechanical equipment and technologies, the Furry Bear Alliance will definitely agree.
Even if the Third Reich deliberately sets a high price, the Furry Bear Alliance will The Alliance will definitely accept it.
In this case, the Third Reich will be able to easily obtain enough non-ferrous metals, oil and food.
What's more, in addition, Hess also wants to dig a big hole for the Woolly Bear Alliance. Trick them hard
"Yes, Your Excellency, I understand. Konstantin von Neurat nodded.
"By the way, at the end of your visit to the Furry Bear Alliance, you can invite the Furry Bear Alliance Navy to send a delegation to visit the Third Reich!" Hess went on to say
"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Although Konstantin von Neuratt did not understand what medicine was sold in Hess's gourd, he would still faithfully carry out Hess's orders.
