Chapter 99
The shortage of oil and other resources has always been a shortcoming of the Third Reich. If this shortcoming is filled, it will greatly improve the war potential of the Third Reich.
It goes without saying that once a war breaks out, the oil fields in Libya will definitely become the target of enemy attacks.
Even the Third Reich would definitely send troops to protect the oil fields. However, no one can guarantee that the oil fields will be preserved. It is always easier to destroy than to build.
What's more, even if the oil field is located in the desert, it is not easy to find. But the port is located on the seaside. With the maritime power of the Sun Never Sets Empire in the Mediterranean, it can easily destroy the port. By then, even if the Third Reich extracted the oil, it would not be able to transport it back to the country.
Therefore, just exploiting this oil field for the time being will be enough to meet the consumption of the Third Reich for a long time.
It would be okay to wait until the Third Reich took control of the situation during the war, gained control of the Mediterranean Sea, and swept across all of North Africa before investing huge sums of money in expanding the exploitation and exploration of oil fields.
What's more, according to the original agreement with the Caesar Kingdom, the Caesar Kingdom held 35% of the shares in the oil company. This means that 35% of the oil extracted belongs to the Kingdom of Caesar.
Although Caesar's Kingdom was allowed to take away 35% of the oil in vain, this is not the time to fall out with Caesar's Kingdom. Once a war breaks out, the navy of the Kingdom of Caesar will also need to be used to maintain the security of sea transportation lines. In fact, oil must be transported back to the country through the territory of the Kingdom of Caesar.
Therefore, the Third Reich still needs to stabilize the Kingdom of Caesar for the time being.
After the Third Reich wins this battle, there will be many ways to clean up Caesar's Kingdom. Maybe, we can completely snatch Libia from the hands of Caesar's Kingdom. In this case, all the oil there belongs to the Third Reich.
"Communicate with the Caesar Kingdom that the National Defense Forces need to deploy an army in Libya to protect the safety of the oil fields." Hess said
"Yes, Your Excellency. However, the Kingdom of Caesar takes its colonies very seriously, and they may not agree to the imperial army entering Libya." Hess said
"Then put pressure on the Caesar Kingdom, if they can ensure that the oil fields are defended and will not be attacked by the enemy. Then we don’t need to send troops into Libya. But once the oil field is destroyed, all responsibilities will be borne by them." Hess said.
He also knew very well that Benito was originally a greedy, suspicious and egotistical guy. It was undoubtedly very difficult to make him compromise.
"Yes, Your Excellency."Marshal Bromberg nodded.
Next, the Third Reich began to increase its investment in oil fields. The construction of ports and oil pipelines began to accelerate. There were also a large number of oil extraction equipment, and the Third Reich set out , shipped to Libya.
The Third Reich is undoubtedly preparing to mine oil from Libya on a large scale to meet its own consumption.
Although the Third Reich has always kept the size of the oil fields secret, in this era, as the international situation worsened, The situation is getting more and more tense, and spies from various countries are frantically spying on each other's information. The
Third Reich has found oil fields in Libya, and naturally it cannot hide it from other countries.
In particular, the Third Reich's ally, the Kingdom of Caesar, was the first to know This news. Naturally, it is impossible for the Third Reich to conceal this issue. Otherwise, the alliance will undoubtedly not be able to continue.
Caesar Kingdom, Caesar City, Prime Minister's Office.
Benito got the information about Libi After the news about Asia Oilfield, everyone was also dumbfounded.
"Oh, God! is this real? Is there really a giant oil field with reserves of more than one billion tons?"Benito couldn't believe all this.
You know, Libya is a colony of the Kingdom of Caesar. After the demand for oil around the world increased sharply, Benito also had the idea of looking for oil in Libya.
However, before They spent a lot of money, but couldn't find even a drop of oil. In the end, they had to give up.
But what they didn't expect was that the Third Reich had successfully found oil in Libya, and the reserves still exceeded one billion. A giant oil field with tons of tons, what a huge wealth!
Originally, this wealth belonged to the Kingdom of Caesar. But now, more than half of it has been taken away by the Third Reich! This made Benito feel his heart They all seemed to be dripping with blood.
These were originally all theirs! But now, they can only account for a small half of them.
"Your Excellency, the Third Reich has found oil fields in Libya. This is undoubtedly good news for us! We can also get a lot of oil from it."Ciano smiled.
Although the Kingdom of Caesar only occupies 35% of the shares, it is still a large amount.
If 10 million tons of oil are extracted from Libya every year, they can 3.5 million tons will be allocated. This will be great news for the Kingdom of Caesar, which is also seriously short of oil.
"What's there to be happy about? Originally, the oil there belonged to us! But now, we can only get 35%!"Benito said through gritted teeth, his face full of reluctance.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this oil was discovered by the Third Reich! We already have an agreement with them."Ciano reminded
"snort! I have reason to believe that this is simply a scam targeting the Kingdom of Caesar. Those guys in the Third Reich probably already knew that there was oil in the Sirt Basin. So, they headed straight there. Instead of flying around like headless flies like we did before. They are despicable thieves who deliberately steal the wealth that belongs to the Kingdom!"Benito couldn't help but curse.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what are you going to do?"The Ciano issue.
He suddenly realized that Benito's idea was very dangerous.
Now the Caesar Kingdom and the Third Reich are allies. If the oil issue intensifies the contradiction between the two parties, or even triggers a conflict, This will be very detrimental to the Kingdom of Caesar.
The Third Reich has just dispatched more than 200,000 troops, and it has occupied the entire Audi force without a single blow. This is also a shock to the Kingdom of Caesar.
Even if the Kingdom of Caesar has Claimed to be a powerful country. However, they did not think that they could fight against the Third Reich militarily._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
