Until Reinhardt left Italy, he did not mention to Mussolini the slightest news about the Libyan oil fields.

Although the oil fields in Libya are much less difficult to exploit than those in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, they are not particularly deep and the content is still very large.

But now Reinhardt knew that until Italy recognized its strength, any cooperation between Germany and Italy would be demanded by the greedy country for endless benefits. Rather than starting Libyan oil cooperation with Italy now, it is better to wait for Italy to plant a few small heels and Germany will develop stronger, and then take out the Libyan cooperation project.

Of course, Reinhardt did not forget to provide appropriate support to Italy, a country with only small oil fields. The day after Reinhardt's arrival in Rome, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Rossi received a copy of Reinhardt's coordinates.

Immediately, Rossi personally led 5,000 blackshirts to search the coordinates in the mountains of northern Italy overnight. Sure enough, Reinhardt provided an approximate coordinate containing 3,000 barrels of oil.

Although there is no evidence that this is oil hidden by the Italian royal family. However, Rossi contacted the Italian royal family at Reinhardt's instructions and demanded a hush money for a full 1 ton of gold.

In Italy, where the White Terror was pervasive, the Italian royal family, who were thieves, reluctantly paid the price of 1 ton of gold and bought a peace.

The 1 ton of gold was eventually faithfully handed over to Mussolini by Rossi, gaining Mussolini's near-absolute trust. In fact, Mussolini himself did not get this 1 ton of gold. Gold was simply added to Italy's already small gold reserves in the name of Mussolini.

Although Italy is still not strong enough, it has more gold and oil reserves than it did at the same time in history. Although the two increases were not huge, they were enough to give Italy an extra armored division.

..........

In Germany, in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, 10 staggering oil fields have begun to produce oil in large quantities.

Miles, Germany's oil minister, could not believe that Reinhardt's predictions had now come true.

Originally, Reinhardt said that the oil fields in northern Schleswig-Holstein existed in the oil fields, and Myers tried to exploit them with the idea of doing his best.

Not to mention whether the content of this oil field area is really as large as Reinhardt said. Just that 2,000 meters deep is not something that can be easily mined with today's technology.

It wasn't until the actual extraction work began that Myers learned that the Rheinland Group, which was in charge of the extraction work, had mastered a new oil extraction technology - water injection extraction technology.

Actually, this technique is not inherently difficult. Reinhardt, who proposed this technology, was nothing more than a borrowing from the invention of China's exploitation of the Daqing oil field in later generations.

The specific process is to inject water into the oil layer to increase the pressure of the formation, and by increasing the pressure, it is equivalent to squeezing the oil out of the formation with water, and then separating and extracting the oil.

This new technology can be said to be the most advanced oil recovery technology in the world at that time. However, the implementation of this technology is not as difficult as it seems. Sometimes, many technological innovations are just a thought idea. The technology content may not be very high, but the results are often good. Through the advantage of crossing, 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 the large oil fields that Germany has been exploiting for more than 30 years. The German army does not need to make an occupation plan to grab resources for the sake of oil, the German armored forces do not need to consider the fuel limit before each sortie, the German air force can attack more unscrupulously, and the German navy can safely sail and train multiple times.

Germany's 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 ox carts to participate in transportation, was not because the production capacity of automobiles could not be increased, but because of the insufficient supply of oil.

Therefore, such a new oil field that breaks through history can be said to be the biggest political achievement made by Reinhardt after crossing over. This oil field directly gave Reinhardt the confidence to win. Without fuel restrictions, many famous German generals can confidently and boldly formulate a marching plan, and German factories can produce tanks, assault guns, and military transport vehicles with almost no upper limit......

In addition to imports of iron ore from the Soviet Union, Sweden was also able to supply large quantities of iron ore to Germany. Only the amount of oil is the most critical reason for limiting the degree of mechanization in Germany!

Now, this key bottleneck has been easily broken by Reinhardt, and all that remains is to make a fortune in a muffled voice for Germany.

Oil from Schleswig-Holstein is now kept secret. Due to the SS blockade of the area around the oil fields, the scale of the Schleswig-Holstein oil fields is still an unknown secret at the moment. Although the British and French dog governments have gotten clues, they have not been able to judge the size of the oil field.

Based on an analysis of historical German oil field intelligence, neither Britain nor France felt that Schleswig-Holstein would have a large oil field that could be easily exploited. Otherwise, the Germans would have already exploited it, so why bother importing oil from countries as far away as the Americas.

"Minister Myers, we at the Department of Petroleum should have made a great contribution this time." A young civil servant in the oil department is reporting to Miles with excitement on his face: "With 10 large oil fields, our department no longer has to go to great lengths to import oil." ”

"Meritorious?" Miles glanced at the young civil servant and said, "From the discovery of oil fields to the financing of exploitation, which key part is not the contribution of other people's Rhein Group. Even if it is a great contribution, it is also a great contribution of the Rheinland Group. We, the Ministry of Oil, are just icing on the cake and helping them in their extraction work. ”

The young civil servant said with envious eyes: "The chairman of the Rheinland Group is really amazing, he not only made a lot of money, but also became a hero. As a result, in the end, our country's Ministry of Petroleum became a supporting role. ”

Miles laughed and said, "Supporting role? No, no, no, we're still the protagonists. There's a lot of drama ahead for us. Imports from countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, the Dutch East Indies, and the United States will continue, and Britain and France will be made aware of our imports. Romania's imports could be appropriately reduced and some more allocated to Italy. ”

Patting the young civil servant on the shoulder, Miles smiled proudly: "The deception operation codenamed "Lean Oil Plan" has begun. The main actor is our German Ministry of Oil. ”
