Until Reinhard left Italy, he did not mention any information about the Libyan oil fields to Mussolini.
Although the oil fields in Libya are much less difficult to exploit than those in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, they are not buried particularly deep and the content is still very large.
But now Reinhardt knows that before Italy recognizes its own strength, any cooperation between Germany and Italy will be demanded by this greedy country for endless benefits. Rather than starting Libyan oil cooperation with Italy now, it is better to wait for Italy
After a few small setbacks, when Germany becomes stronger, it will launch cooperation projects in Libya.
Of course, Reinhardt did not forget to provide appropriate support to Italy, a country with only small oil fields. The day after Reinhardt arrived in Rome, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Rossi received an offer from Reinhardt.
coordinate.
Immediately, Rossi personally led 5,000 black-shirted troops to search the coordinates in the mountains of northern Italy overnight. As expected, 3,000 barrels of oil were hidden in the approximate coordinates provided by Reinhardt.
Although there was no evidence that this was oil hidden by the Italian royal family, Rossi still contacted the Italian royal family under Reinhardt's instructions and demanded a full ton of gold as a sealing fee.
In Italy, where white terror reigns, the guilty-minded Italian royal family reluctantly paid the price of 1 ton of gold to buy peace.
This 1 ton of gold was eventually handed over to Mussolini loyally by Rossi, gaining Mussolini's almost absolute trust. In fact, Mussolini himself did not get this 1 ton of gold. The gold was just
It was added to Italy's already small gold reserves in the name of Mussolini.
Although Italy is still not strong enough now, it has more gold reserves and oil reserves than at the same period in history. Although the two increases are not huge, they are enough for Italy to have one more armored division.
...........
In Germany, in the northern part of Schleswig-Holstein, a total of 10 oil fields with astonishing output have begun to produce large amounts of oil.
As Germany's oil minister, Myers couldn't believe that Reinhardt's predictions had now come true.
Myers tried to exploit the oil fields that Reinhard said existed in northern Schleswig-Holstein with the intention of doing his best.
Not to mention whether the content of this oil field is really as huge as Reinhardt said. Just the depth of 2,000 meters cannot be easily exploited with current technology.
Only when the actual mining work began did Miles learn that the Rhine Group, which was responsible for the mining work, had mastered a new oil mining technology - water injection mining technology.
In fact, this technology is not difficult in nature. Reinhardt, who proposed this technology, just borrowed the invention from later generations when China exploited the Daqing Oil Field.
The specific process is to inject water into the oil layer to increase the pressure of the formation. By increasing the pressure, it is equivalent to squeezing the oil out of the formation with water, and then the oil is separated and extracted.
This new technology could be said to be the most advanced oil recovery technology in the world at that time. However, the implementation of this technology was not as difficult as imagined. Sometimes, many technological innovations are just an idea in thinking.
The technological content may not be very high, but the results are often good. Taking advantage of time travel, Reinhardt easily came up with this idea from the East and created a huge oil field for Germany in advance.
With this stock of more than 50 million tons, it is enough to support Germany's large-scale oil fields for more than 30 years. The German Army does not need to formulate occupation plans to seize resources for oil, and the German armored forces do not need to consider oil restrictions before each attack.
, the German Air Force can attack more unscrupulously, and the German Navy can conduct multiple training voyages with peace of mind.
The German Wehrmacht can also further improve the mechanization of its troops. You must know that the reason why Germany did not achieve large-scale mechanization in history and even used a large number of horses and oxen carts to participate in transportation was not that automobile production capacity could not be increased, but that the oil supply was insufficient.
fully caused.
Therefore, such a new oil field that broke through history can be said to be Reinhardt's greatest political achievement after time travel. This oil field directly gave Reinhardt the confidence to win. Without oil restrictions, many famous German generals
Being able to make marching plans with confidence and boldness, German factories can produce tanks, assault guns, and military transport vehicles with almost no upper limit...
In addition to iron ore imported from the Soviet Union, Sweden can also provide large quantities of iron ore to Germany. Only the quantity of oil is the most critical reason that limits the degree of mechanization in Germany!
Now, this key bottleneck has been easily broken through by Reinhardt. The only thing left for Germany to do is to make a fortune silently.
The oil in Schleswig-Holstein is now protected as a secret. Due to the SS blockade of the areas surrounding the oil field, the size of the Schleswig-Holstein oil field is still an unknown secret.
.Although the British and French governments obtained clues, the two countries were unable to determine the scale of this oil field area.
Based on the analysis of historical oil field intelligence in Germany, neither Britain nor France believe that Schleswig-Holstein will have a large oil field that is easy to exploit. Otherwise, the Germans would have already exploited it, so why bother importing it?
Oil from countries as far away as America.
"Minister Miles, our Petroleum Department must have made great achievements this time." A young civil servant from the Petroleum Department was reporting to Miles with excitement: "There are 10 large oil fields that our department no longer needs.
We have gone to great lengths to import oil.”
"Making meritorious service?" Myers rolled his eyes at the young civil servant and said: "From the discovery of the oil field to the financing of its exploitation, which key part is not the result of someone else's Rhine Group? Even if it is a great merit, it is the Rhine Group's great contribution. We.
The Ministry of Petroleum is just the icing on the cake, assisting them in their extraction work."
The young civil servant said with envious eyes: "The chairman of Rhine Group is really amazing. He made a lot of money and became a hero. But in the end, our Ministry of Petroleum became a supporting role."
Miles laughed loudly and said: "Supporting role? No, no, no, we are still the protagonists. Next, we have to play a lot of dramas. Imports from Venezuela, Mexico, the Dutch East Indies, the United States and other countries will continue, and
We need to let Britain and France know about our import actions. Romania’s import volume can be appropriately reduced and some more given to Italy.”
Patting the young civil servant on the shoulder, Myers smiled proudly and said: "The deception operation code-named "Oil-Lean Plan" has begun. The leading actor is our German Petroleum Ministry."
