Chapter XXVII
"Are you really sure you've been able to find oil? I want oil from Germany. Seeing Hitler again, Zhuo Fei suddenly found that when this heroic leader asked him, there was a slight trilling in his tone. Zhuo Fei, who was almost confined to the manor, did not know that Angela was coming, nor did he know that the influence of the Blackwater Oil Company on Hitler had caused Hitler to not sleep well for two consecutive nights.
Originally, Hitler thought that Zhuo Fei's rhetoric could not be realized, but the arrival of the Blackwater Oil Company made Hitler somewhat believe in Zhuo Fei's assurance, so he rushed over to ask Zhuo Fei in a hurry. "Your Excellency, is it that the Blackwater Oil exploration team has arrived?" The eagerness in Hitler's eyes made Zhuo Fei have an epiphany, so he asked exploratory questions according to his own guesses.
Hitler didn't speak, but nodded to his attendant, who opened the closed door, and Zhuo Fei was surprised to see Angela and Vivien walk in. "Boss, we're here." I haven't seen them for a long time, Angela and Vivian already have a faint moisture in their eyes, but in front of Hitler, the two can only hold back their excitement for the time being, and just say hello to Zhuo Fei formulaically.
"Okay, okay, let's sit down first." Seeing Angela and Vivian again, Zhuo Fei's heart was a little excited, and because of Hitler's presence, Zhuo Fei could only nod lightly at the two, even if he had said hello. The sudden rise of Blackwater Oil in Mexico has played a certain role in promoting Zhuo Fei's overall plan, and Germany has also obtained additional oil import quotas from Mexico.
"Your Excellency, these two beautiful ladies are the top executives of Blackwater Oil, and I believe they have also brought the best exploration experts from Blackwater Oil, and the question you just asked me will be answered right now? As I tell the old story, I promise that Blackwater will be able to explore for oil in Germany, but Blackwater needs the full help of the Reich. "Getting the list of exploration experts from Angela's hands, Zhuo Fei's confidence has become even stronger.
In later generations, Germany could explore as many as 44 oil fields, although the oil output could not be compared with the Middle East countries, but in this era, as long as Zhuo Fei could explore half of the oil fields in Germany, it would have greatly alleviated the problems that plagued Hitler. "Young people, as long as you can find oil in Germany, whatever help you need, Germany will support you." Hitler was able to bring Angela and Vivian to see Zhuo Fei, and he had already made clear the purpose of Hitler's trip, and when he learned that Zhuo Fei still needed the help of the Reich, Hitler immediately agreed without thinking.
Angela and Vivien winked at each other, and the latter politely said goodbye to Hitler and left, leaving only Hitler and Zhuo Fei in the room, and of course, Miss Rita, who served as the translator. "Your Excellency, I would like to say that oil exploration is not an easy thing to do, and there are many problems involved. First of all, Your Excellency, you need to be mentally prepared that the process of oil exploration may take a month, or it may take several months or even longer, and the funds for oil exploration, Blackwater Oil can be paid in advance, but you cannot rush the exploration team. ”
It is not that the Germans themselves have not carried out oil exploration activities on their own soil, and Britain and France have also explored oil in Germany with the help of the aftermath of their victory in World War I, but it is a pity that neither the Germans themselves nor Britain and France have been able to produce oil in Germany. Now Zhuo Yan bluntly said that Blackwater Oil will pay for oil exploration in advance, that is to say, if you can't find oil, it will only suffer from Blackwater Oil, and the German government will waste some land at most, but in fact there is no loss at all.
Zhuo Fei needed the help of the German government, Hitler also nodded and agreed, Zhuo Fei said casually, "Your Excellency, I also need some local German geological experts, oil exploration involves many disciplines, without the guidance of experts who are familiar with German geological structures, the exploration work may be deviated, thus wasting time and resources." ”
"No problem, the University of Munich has a geology department, and the empire also has many geology scholars and experts, as long as you need it, the empire is ready to let them help with Blackwater Oil." Just borrowing some geology scholars and specialists, for Hitler, this was not a difficult task at all. As long as Zhuo Fei can find oil in Germany, don't just call a few geological experts, he wants Hitler to transfer all the geological experts in Germany to Blackwater Oil to help, and Hitler is also willing.
"In addition, I also need the help of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, and the most important thing in oil exploration is equipment. Blackwater oil is now using American equipment, and the Americans definitely don't want to see oil exploration in Germany, and I think they will find a way to control the export of oil exploration equipment once they know about it. I think that if the empire wants to get rid of the predicament caused by the shortage of oil, it must develop its own oil-related industries, and petroleum equipment manufacturing will be the most important link in it. ”
Regarding Zhuo Fei's question, Hitler did not answer at the beginning, but first asked Rita to write it down in his notebook. Among the many government departments in Germany, the Ministry of Industry is one of the most important departments, and even Hitler, as the Führer, could not answer immediately, and he still needs to consult the Ministry of Industry. "Put this question aside for a while, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible, and talk about other things first."
"Finally, I also need the help of your SS Führer, because oil is the industrial lifeblood of a country, and Britain and France have been trying to suppress the development of Germany, and they, like the Americans, absolutely do not want oil in Germany itself. The blockade of the news is a must, so I need the help of the SS, whose loyalty to the Führer is unquestionable, and I believe that they will be able to block the news of Blackwater's oil exploration in Germany itself. ”
Hitler's suspicions about Zhuo Fei did not dissipate, even though Zhuo Fei provided Germany with the design drawings of the new rifle and Leopard tank, and also transferred him to Germany from the Mexican company Na Blackwater, Hitler was still suspicious of Zhuo Fei. But this will learn from Rita's mouth that Zhuo Fei took the initiative to seek help from the SS, Hitler paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, with the close surveillance of the SS, even if this young Chinese man came to Germany with some other purpose, it was impossible for him to do something harmful to the Reich in front of the SS.
Taking the initiative to seek the help of the SS, this is a decision made by Zhuo Fei after careful consideration in the past few days, this is Germany, a country that is about to take the initiative to provoke the whole of Europe. Hitler was also a very controlling man, and if he wanted to implement his plans in Germany, it was impossible not to have Hitler's support. Throughout Hitler's life, he believed only in the SS, and in any case, actively putting himself under the surveillance of the SS would at least make Hitler relax his guard a little.
Hitler is a person who doesn't understand oil, and Zhuo Fei is only a half-ass, as long as the general direction is formulated, the rest of the things will naturally be done by those exploration experts in the Blackwater Oil Company. Hitler did not ask Zhuo Fei how he was sure that there must be oil in Germany, and Zhuo Fei did not take the initiative to explain this, in fact, before leaving the United States, Zhuo Fei had already dealt with these aspects, and pushed everything to the unwarranted US government agencies, I believe that Hitler would not send someone to the United States for verification.
"Your Excellency, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to say or not." Talking to Hitler was a struggle, because Hitler was an energetic man, and he also liked to change the subject, especially at length. The two were still talking about oil exploration just now, and in a blink of an eye, Hitler shifted the topic to other aspects, and Zhuo Fei also seized the opportunity to ask Hitler a question.
"I know that the negotiations between England, France and the Reich on the question of Czechoslovakia have reached a critical juncture, and I would like to ask if the Führer can send someone to actively contact the Soviets while negotiating with Britain and France." Zhuo Fei didn't know that he would laugh like a chicken thief, although the two did not understand the language, but Hitler had already guessed Zhuo Fei's intention from Zhuo Fei's smile at this time.
"That's right, it's time to get in touch with that damn Stalin, maybe an envoy from the Soviets is coming to Berlin." Hitler could not be considered a qualified military strategist, but he was, as a politician. After listening to Rita's translation, Hitler understood the actual meaning of Zhuo Fei's words after a little pondering.
"Your Excellency, I think you should consider whether it is possible to exchange some Czechoslovak territory from the Soviets for oil and steel. Although Germany's industrial system is not much worse than that of the Soviet Union, I believe that the more strategic goods such as oil and steel, the better. Even Germany could first temporarily form an alliance with the Soviets, and the Soviet Union should be a good choice and breakthrough point when Britain and France controlled Germany's imports of strategic materials. ”
Zhuo Fei's words reminded Hitler that there is no friendship between countries, but they can communicate with interests. The Soviets have always had their eyes on Europe, and at a time when almost all European countries were disdainful of the Soviets, if Germany took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Soviet Union, I believe that the Soviets would not refuse Germany's good intentions. Hitler hurriedly left the manor with his men, and he was to rush back to convene an impromptu conference, and after clarifying the attitude of the top echelons of the government, Hitler could prescribe a series of tactics against the Soviet Union.
