Chapter 141 Planning

ps: The ranking has been overtaken again, and the author urgently needs everyone's monthly pass support.

Today's first chapter is presented, and you will get the code and update the chapter after dinner.

Of course, it is impossible for a German theater command to not be able to mobilize several planes, but everyone wants to accompany the head of state to act together. No one will be willing to fall behind others in this kind of thing.

At this time, even the high-ranking generals and marshals began to rush to consolidate their position in the hearts of the head of state. Europe was about to face an amazing war, and no one wanted to lose favor in front of Xu Jun at this critical moment.

If no other changes occur in the middle, this will be a grand war that can be recorded in history, and the generals who lead and command this war will inevitably become great heroes who have been famous for thousands of years.

Xu Jun has issued an order through the commander's command. All German generals at or above the level of major generals must have two or more engines on long-distance travel. In history, many commanders of the German army who had been in the air crash unfortunately died in the air crash. Xu Jun did not want history to repeat itself in his era. So the fleet that returned to Berlin this time was composed of vultures and Junker, and a total of seventeen medium-sized transport aircraft formed a flying formation.

"I will not interfere with Qusiral's command. I have told him all the suggestions I should make. What should I do depends entirely on his own performance." Xu Jun sat on his exclusive seat, holding a teacup and talking.

The head of state has arc-shaped bulletproof plates in front and back of the seats, and there is an emergency hatch on the floor. If you encounter accidents, you can parachutize from here. However, Xu Jun has always been surprised by this design, because Hitler has never received any training in parachuting. To be honest, the former head of state lacks training and even jumps off the wall is a bit dangerous.

"My head of state, General Qusiral's ability is trustworthy, and the excellent performance of the African army in Italy also proves this." Braushici replied respectfully.

"So I gave him full authority, and ordered the Navy and Air Force to cooperate with his actions. I only had one request from him, so that I could see a brilliant victory and solve the problems in the Arab region at one time." Xu Jun put the teacup on the table.

"This is a military strategic issue, and also an economic and political issue. We must clear out all possible hidden dangers on the Arabian Peninsula before the outbreak of the Eastern Front War." The head of state's finger poked the green velvet desktop of the grass.

"The Arabian Peninsula directly blocks the important passage from Europe to Asian colonies. Whether on land or sea, transportation lines pass through this area can greatly shorten the distance and time required. Otherwise, our supplies can only bypass the African coastline. The distance is not only doubled, but if the mechanical loss and fuel consumption are calculated again, the cost is more than three times that of the original.

Southeast Asia is continuously providing Europe with the important strategic resources we urgently need, such as oil, rare metals, organic materials, grain, and medicines. Many of them cannot be produced in Europe and can be regarded as a precious lifeline for the Eurasian transportation line, so it cannot be violated by any force." Xu Jun said with a serious face.

"Saudi Arabia has shown hostility towards Europe, especially the United Kingdom, and it would be irrelevant in peacetime, but in the current situation, this situation is very dangerous. We must not sit idly by and watch Saudi Arabia's strength expand on the peninsula and eventually break away from control, just like the British encountered. They spent ten years cultivating and supporting an opponent that gave them a headache. This is a great black joke." The head of empire did not have a smile on his face.

"My Head of State, I don't think the British approach was wrong, but the premise is that the British Empire is still as powerful as it was forty years ago." Braushici made a pertinent opinion.

"You are completely correct. Braushich. As you said, if Britain is still strong, the balance of power in the Middle East will not change, and no one will easily challenge the majesty of the British Empire." Xu Jun nodded in agreement: "But Britain has declined, and their influence has been narrowing with its sphere of influence. They no longer have the deterrent power of the past. The Arabs in the desert are no longer trembling at hearing the reputation of the British Empire. More importantly, they now have a strong enough leader and believe they can compete with the UK."

Then Xu Jun smiled and said, "I know there are many officers in the Army Command, and I don't understand my orders. They think this is the British's own problem, and the Empire can stand by and watch."

The head of the empire raised his hand to stop Blaushich who wanted to explain: "No need to defend them, their ideas are not wrong. I can fully understand that everyone receives traditional military education, and the interests of the German Empire are supreme."

"The reason they don't understand is because they can't see the importance of this war to the empire, and at the same time they don't know how great the empire will gain after the victory of this war." A proud smile appeared on the corner of the head of the mouth.

"I'm sorry, my head, this is my dereliction of duty." Braushichi lowered his head to greet him.

Xu Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Braushichi's shoulder and comforted: "This has nothing to do with you. The Commander-in-Chief, even if he really neglected his duties, it is because of me, so don't take it to heart. When everything is settled, they will figure it out."

"I believe that after this war is over, no one will doubt your judgment and decision anymore. Even if you don't understand it in your heart, you will firmly execute your orders."

"Isn't that the case now? Braushich."

"The National Defense Forces will strictly implement any orders you give, my head of state." Braushici hurriedly replied loudly.

"Do you know why I'm in a hurry to go back to Berlin? Bolaoxiche." Xu Jun picked up the teapot and added tea to the cup.

"I don't know, my head, but I believe there must be something particularly urgent, and you need to return to Berlin to deal with it." Blaushich gave a light flattery.

Xu Jun indeed looked very helpful and nodded with satisfaction: "You are right, I remembered a problem that must be dealt with immediately, and it can only be done when you return to Berlin."

Keitel had been listening honestly to the conversation between the commander-in-chief of the Army and the head of state. Because he did not get the question from the head of state, the Chief of Staff refused to speak. However, after hearing what Xu Jun said just now, the Chief of Staff could no longer hold it back. He leaned over and interrupted, "Is it about the Soviets? My head of state. The Soviet envoy has been waiting in Berlin for a long time. If I delay seeing them again, I am worried that it will anger Stalin."

"Well, I will take some time to meet them as soon as possible after I return to Berlin. Although Stalin is rude, he will not be so easily angered. Before they are ready to fight with us, he will be more restrained and patient than anyone else." Xu Jun glanced at Kettle and said.

"As for the things I'm rushing back and dealing with, I still need your cooperation at that time, and of course Marshal Braushich. This is a big business worth more than one billion marks. I don't believe anyone will not be moved by it." Xu Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Billion mark? Is my dollar worth billions?" Braushich couldn't help swallowing.

"You heard it right, ten million, one hundred million." Xu Jun opened his hands and gestured.

"Sorry, my head, I didn't understand. What are you talking about big business? "Ketel asked with his little eyes blinking.

"Oil! Oil from the Arabian Peninsula." Xu Jun replied.

"You mean Saudi Arabia's oil? As far as I know, oil was found there, but the output was very low, only a fraction of the Romanian oil fields." Keitel has been exposed to a lot of information on this aspect because of his position.

"The main energy of US Standard Oil is still focused on the exploitation of domestic oil fields in the United States. It has not invested much money in developing overseas resources. For Saudi oil, they have only explored a very small area." Xu Jun took out a map from the file box on the table, expanded it and handed one to Blaushichi.

"Look at this area." Xu Jun pointed to the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

"There is the richest oil resources in the world. According to my prediction, the total reserves have reached at least 100 billion barrels." Xu Jun used a red and blue pencil to mark the locations of several large oil fields that were famous in later generations on the map.

"Hundreds of billions of barrels of oil?" Braushich was once again frightened by what Xu Jun said. The Army Commander-in-Chief's eyes had never been so wide.

"It's enough for us to use it for a thousand years." Keitel's mouth trembled slightly.

"This is just a preliminary speculation. In fact, there may be more oil reserves there." Xu Jun smiled and opened the cigar box on the table.

"I always thought there was only sand there." Braushich looked at the circles on the map with red eyes.

"My Head, your decision is extremely wise. This land and the resources below can only belong to the Third Reich." Keitel made a loud announcement.

"Ketel, there is no eternal empire in this world. Even if the Third Empire lasts for a thousand years, it will definitely decline one day." Xu Jun lit a match and lit a cigar.

"So to preserve these wealth, we must establish a strong and stable alliance of interests." The head of the empire threw the match into the ashtray.
