.Oil! Oil! Oil! The pulse of war, without oil tankers, it cannot rotate. Sadly, the Third Reich of Germany did not become a production oil production, and 90% of the oil needs to be imported according to Kao.

Before the war broke out, considering that the armored forces of the Third Reich of Germany could operate according to the abnormal oil, the Reserve Bureau stored a large amount of oil before the war. However, import storage alone was not a big deal. After all, there was expenditure and income, and relying on imports was too unstoppable.

Due to the war, the German Third Reich had certainly fewer channels for obtaining oil, and most of the oil relied on Sweden and Switzerland to purchase from the international community. Then, these two countries resold to the German Third Reich, which invisibly increased a lot of costs.

Let’s not talk about the difficulties in heavy metals. In just a few battles alone, a large number of armored troops used 35% of their oil reserves in less than a year. This is a terrible data, indicating that the oil reserves of the Third Reich of Germany will bottom out after a few major battles. Of course, this is in the case of a complete loss of oil import channels.

Xu Yang did not know what means did the Third Reich of the German Third Reich obtain oil in history, and it could withstand it for almost five years under the blockade of the Allies. When he was a child before the war, he tried his best to reserve oil. In fact, he didn't need to mention that the Third Reich of the German Third Reich had been reserved since 1933, and by the beginning of 1939 the oil reserves were very objective.

Later, after the Stark family came to power, the huge "Junker system" attached more importance to oil reserves, which was also part of the five-year plan and the primary goal of war preparation. After so much effort, the imagined "enough" became "insufficient" through several battles. This idea of ​​the Soviet War became a desire driven by the acquisition of oil production...

Looking back on history, in the last two years of World War I, the Third German Empire experienced severe oil shortages, and the only source was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Romania. Rudendolph pointed out at the time that "Romanian oil was the top priority, but unfortunately, Romania's oil production capacity had reached its limit and was not enough to change the overall situation of oil shortage in the Second Empire." The British took the lead and occupied Baku in August 1918. Rudendolph called it "a heavy blow to us."

In the first year of the Socialist Party's rise to power, economic strategy experts pointed out: "Once a war breaks out, the serious dependence on crude oil imports will be a key bottleneck that restricts the actions of the Third Reich in Germany."

The "Kelly Building Plan" proposed on July 12, 1938 required an oil production of 11 million tons in early 1944, but Adolf Hitler obviously couldn't wait for this time. His strategy was to start a war through reserves first, and then resolve the oil source in the war.

The Third Reich's oil imports reached its peak, and the biggest source was Romania. Although the Third Reich still imported 5.165 million tons of oil that year, 200,000 tons more than the whole year in 1938.

On May 27, 1940, Germany and Rome signed an oil agreement. Of the 2.075 million tons of oil imported by the Third Reich of Germany that year, 974,000 tons came from Romania. In addition, according to the Soviet-Germany Trade Agreement, nearly 657,000 tons were imported.

The impressive economic growth of the Third Reich in the first half of the century was largely due to its abundant energy, coal. In the late 1930s, coal accounted for about half of the total energy of the United States, but for the Third Reich, it provided 90% of the energy of the United States - and oil accounted for about 5%. However, Adolf Hitler, who was eager for war, was already planning for the future in 1932, and oil was essential for his ambitions. The Prime Minister of the Third Reich, seized all his power a year and a half later. He seized all his power without the opportunity to launch a car movement that he called "a turning point in the history of automobile transportation in the Third Reich." A one-way highway without speed limits ran across the country. In 1934, the plan to build a new type of car began. It was called "the car of the people", that is, "Volkswagen."

But these were merely minor issues for Adolf Hitler's grand plan to put the entire Europe under the Third German Empire and his own rule. To achieve the above goals, he quickly began to rectify the economy, strengthen the state's control over large enterprises, and establish the Socialist war machine, including bombers, fighters, tanks and trucks, all of which required oil. Therefore, the ongoing synthetic fuel production of Faben's company is of decisive significance.

Farbon developed an interest in synthetic fuels in the 1920s because it had the same expectation that the trend of stimulating large-scale oil extraction around the world would quickly deplete traditional oil supplies. The socialist government provided funding because the growing demand for foreign oil was causing a large loss of vital and insufficient foreign exchange. Adolf Hitler understood that the Third Reich would prepare for war. New technologies and chemistry must be used to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

The Third Reich of Germany did establish a very strong synthetic fuel industry. By the time the Third Reich invaded Poland and the outbreak of World War II in Europe, fourteen hydrogenation plants had been operating at full speed, and six were under construction.

After the Stark family came to power, the production of synthetic fuels had increased dramatically by 1940 - 72,000 barrels per day, accounting for 64% of the total oil supply. However, from the perspective of military needs, the significance of synthetic fuels was even more significant. The Begeus hydrogenation method provided about 95% of the total gasoline of the Third Reich. Without those synthetic fuels, the German Third Reich Air Force could not take off.

...

Ordnance Minister Alfred Krupp put down the folder in his hand and said in a worried tone: "My head of state, all the information is here. From this we can already see the inevitable crisis, which we should not neglect before. Now, it is time to implement a method to change it."

Xu Yang did not make any statement. There are many proposals to propose the schedule of the Soviet War, and oil shortage is only part of it. He has been hesitating. After all, it is too risky to start a war against the Soviet republic before the Battle of Britain has not yet been a result. He does not want to become the third in Napoleon and the second in Adolf Hitler. Although war is an unsure thing, it still requires caution to avoid it. Only by making fewer mistakes can you laugh to the end.

Many people seemed very anxious when they saw Xu Yang not expressing their feelings. They stumbled on indirectly and tried to yell at the Soviet Union.

However, they are destined to be disappointed today...

"I get it..." After a pause, Xu Yang looked at the logistics minister Albert Spel: "Have our army in northern France all the things they need to deliver as they are?"

Albert Spel expressed his rigorously: "Yes, my head of state. According to the designated plan, the first, second, and thirty-five trains have arrived, and the supplies have been received by the garrison and have been verified. But..." He seemed a little difficult to say: "There are a little bit of a problem with some of the models you requested."

"Hmm?!" Xu Yang was stunned and extremely cold: "Dear General! You should understand the importance of the Battle of Britain. Those supplies must not be delayed at all! As a senior general, you know the importance of those things!"

"Yes...yes!" A cold sweat broke out on Albert Spel's forehead: "I understand completely..." Seeing that the head of state's face became more and more serious, he quickly stood up: "I will supervise it myself!" After saying that, he stood attentively and raised his hand, looking a little embarrassed.

Having the majesty that cannot be offended is the basic temperament of a leader. Although Xu Yang has never made any big fuss or punished anyone due to personal factors, the temperament of a leader has become stronger with time and victory on the battlefield, making his subordinates less and less afraid to offend him. Before he could speak out, there was a problem with the link. Albert Spel almost disappeared at the door like a runaway, which made him angry and felt deeply helpless.

"What is worth worrying about is not after logging in to the British Isles, but before logging in to the British Isles! In order to successfully log in, the early intelligence work is difficult but must be completed!"

The topic has been emphasized countless times. Allies have a large number of naval forces. If the Axis powers want to land on the British Isles, they will inevitably not be able to rush forward. It requires a lot of preparations. First of all, the Allies must not be allowed to explore the landing location. This requires multiple false attack targets, and the military's chosen base becomes the top priority.

At present, the locations of the Axis powers are concentrated in northern France, and some are selected in northwestern France. Among northern France, Calais' garrison is the place with the most garrisons. Calais is very close to the British mainland, and the Gustav cannon can easily bombard the past. In terms of region, Calais is a good bridge to attack the British Isles, and this is also the best place that the allies conjecture. The General Staff proposed many ideas and chose many bridges and attack points. As for the real assembly location and landing point, except for Xu Yang and several marshals, others do not know at all.

"If the 'Login Day' is delayed because the model is not delivered in time, then they should be shot!"
