Chapter 66 The German Oil Solution in 1943
While waiting for Sperer's arrival, Chen Yanlong was still thinking about another problem, that is, the German army's most fatal weakness was insufficient oil.
According to the historical data in Baidu in later generations, in the last peace era before the war, Germany needed more than 7 million tons of oil in 1938; only about one-third of it was produced by Germany's own oil refineries, and the other more than 500 tons were imported from the United States, Neira and Iran.
The other shortcomings can only be solved by the European continent. For example, about one million tons were imported from Romania and more than 600,000 tons were imported from the Soviet Union. However, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the channels for import from the Soviet Union were cancelled since then. The United States, which had always supported the Soviet Union, naturally banned the import of oil to Germany.
After that, the German army could only conquer European countries and seize a large amount of oil reserves from these countries for use.
The war has reached 1943, and the German reserves have been consumed; and they also brought Italy, the oil bottle, to consume a lot of oil resources. At this time, the only source of German oil was Romania.
However, although Romania is an ally of Germany, it is not a German ‘cow’. So as the war was not good for the Germans, they provided less and less oil to the Germans.
Therefore, for oil issues, although Chen Yanlong can use the redemption system to redeem.
But if there is a more way to obtain oil, he still likes it very much.
Because he has no energy points in his hand now, and even if he has them, he still has to exchange for a lot of weapons and equipment to increase the strength of the German army.
Moreover, with the pitiful energy points he can collect now, he may have been forced to be powered by industrial capabilities before he could exchange enough fuel; and the attrition war between the Soviet, American and British allies with strong resource capabilities, and no fuel was used for the planes and tanks.
Although there is oil in Libya and Iraq, the distance water cannot save the near fire, and it is not a German-occupied area. The most important thing is that Germany is now facing a battle between the east and west; and it is still retreating. How can Chen Yanlong send troops there to get oil?
Even Denmark and Norway's oil, I'm afraid Chen Yanlong will not be able to send troops to occupy and exploit them; as for Africa, which has been driven out by the British and American allies, there is even more hopelessness and can only sigh.
Fortunately, there are rumors that there are oil fields in the territory of Germany in later generations, and it is said that there are 44 oil fields in Germany.
Moreover, the information about Chen Yanlong's story in Baidu in later generations once said that in the oil fields of RWE (i.e., Germany Rhine Group), the average daily mining volume can be achieved at more than 30,000 tons.
French gas companies have also begun to select a site to exploit it south of Berlin, but in fact, the oil reserves in northern Germany are the most abundant.
For example: the northern Lower Saxony produces 1.2 million tons of oil per year, and the Schleswig-Holstein produces about 2.2 million tons. Almost two-thirds of the oil produced by the German Rhine Group comes from the shallows on the North German coast.
Derek Merschel of Rhine said: "Most of Germany's oil production comes from the west coast of the largest oil field in Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. This oil field is operated by our company, and our annual oil production is about 2 million tons."
"However, there may be some small oil reserves around the field, with a storage capacity of about 14 million tons. For example, a range of about 150 square kilometers north of Giffon in Lower Saxony, and a large area of about 400 square kilometers in the Pren region of Schleswig-Holstein..."
"It seems that if I want to solve the oil problem, I have to exchange new oil-based equipment from the exchange system; and I also have to meet the founder of the Rhine Group Company, which was established in 1898; their company's total income in later generations was more than 93 billion euros, and there were more than 70,000 employees. Such a big golden egg must not be missed!"
When he thought about the problem of oil shortage and continued to think about the problem of oil extraction in Germany, Chen Yanlong suddenly woke up from his memories of Baidu's information in his later generations. He immediately made up his mind to find a way to develop oil from Germany to temporarily solve the problem of oil shortage, and murmured alone.
