Chapter 419: Africa's No. 1 Oil Field

Bliss shook his head, and said helplessly to the German friend in front of him: "Mr. Finn, I really don't understand why you are so persistent. We've been exploring here for more than two months and haven't found a drop of oil. Why, you are so sure that in this barren land of Africa, there will be big oil fields. ”

Bliss didn't say this because the harsh conditions made him uncomfortable. After all, they were taking the money of the Rhine consortium, and although the environment was difficult, the pay was very high.

The reason why he persuaded the German friend in front of him was because he really couldn't stand the stubbornness of the other party.

Even geologists have concluded that there is no oil here, but at the insistence of the Rhine consortium, everyone has to dig holes in the ground like fools. It is said that the Germans are stubborn, but Bliss really didn't expect that the Germans would be stubborn to such an extent!

Just because they got a so-called inside message, just because they successfully hit a big luck in northern Germany, they now firmly believe that they are lucky to find a big oil field every time?!

If oil fields were really so easy to find, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Although Bliss didn't know much about military affairs, he at least knew that the warships of the Navy, the planes of the Air Force, and the transport vehicles of the Army all consumed a lot of fuel.

It can be said that whichever country has larger oil reserves will have the confidence to create "oil tigers" indefinitely.

However, Bliss and his family have been exploring this barren land of Africa for more than three years, and the Rhein consortium has only been involved in exploration in a cooperative way for more than two months.

How could they have predicted that they would be able to extract oil?

Just by virtue of their internal information, they circled an area on the map?!

"Give workers a 50 percent increase in wages." The wealthy Finn waved his hand and said, "This is just a small benefit, and when the oil is out, I believe your government will also reward you vigorously." ”

"Our government .......," Bliss heard this, and there was a look of loneliness on his face.

Soon, though, that expression disappeared without a trace.

That's not something he can manage, and there's no point in thinking about more. All he can do is find oil fields for his country and relieve the pressure at home.

Of course, at this time, in addition to the public side, the higher salary also made Bliss and them willing to continue exploring.

"Don't think about it so much," as if to see Bliss's thoughts, Finn patted the other party on the shoulder with a smile and said: "I believe that our Führer will also bring you miracles, as long as you cooperate sincerely with Germany, it is only a matter of time before you want to revive." ”

"I hope so." After receiving the comfort, Bliss lifted his facial muscles with difficulty, and showed a smile.

Just as the two were about to say something, there was a noise from the workers drilling in the distance.

Immediately, a pungent smell came from the air!

Petroleum gas!

The drilling machine, in this border area close to Libya, hit about a thousand meters when it finally came out with a puff of petroleum gas!

Oil is down there!

The entire exploration team erupted in cheers, and everyone was celebrating this great moment. In that moment, they seemed to have forgotten everything, forgetting that their homeland had just surrendered, and forgetting the helplessness of the defeat of their country.

From the drill pipe, the flame of liquefied petroleum gas burned up, and the light of the fire illuminated everyone's face.

"Monsieur Bliss, I must congratulate you on finding the oil in this colony for France." In the excited crowd, Fein still maintained that polite expression: "Now, you should trust the accuracy of our Rhine Consortium's intelligence." ”

"It's incredible!" Bliss shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's unbelievable that your country's intelligence information about the French colonies is actually more accurate than our own. Such a bizarre oil discovery process is enough to go down in history! ”

In the excitement, Bliss still couldn't hide his loneliness, if it was two months ago, such a discovery would definitely make the whole country of France celebrate.

Where there was no oil, it was a joy to find oil fields for France because of the persistence and financing of the German consortium.

However, today's France was completely defeated by Germany in just over a month. Although they were in Algeria, they all heard that the new government formed by Marshal Pétain had begun to prepare for the surrender to the German government.

At this time, can the oil fields of France still be called the oil fields of France?

"Don't cry, Mr. Bliss." Finn, who was chosen to work with the French as a representative, said mysteriously in fluent French: "Since we have worked together for so many months, we are friends." As your friend, I can tell you two pieces of good news that are absolutely satisfying. ”

Good news? At this time, is there better news than the discovery of an oil field?

Bliss apparently didn't quite believe that Finn could say the good news that would reassure him.

However, before Bliss could react, Fein spoke to himself: "The first good news is that, according to our intelligence, Algeria has not only good quality, but also huge reserves. It is no exaggeration to say that Algeria has at least 30 billion barrels of oil, making it the number one oil field in Africa. ”

What Finn is saying now is actually made up by Reinhardt in advance.

In fact, Algeria is neither the largest oil field in Africa nor can it extract 30 billion barrels of oil.

Reinhardt, who specializes in Algerian oil fields, knows that the oil fields here are concentrated in the central region and near the border with Libya, and the oil reserves are estimated to be around 12.2 billion barrels, mainly capable of producing low-sulfur light crude oil.

The reason for the deliberate exaggeration of Algerian oil production is that Germany also has an important plan around Algeria.

At this moment, facing Bliss, who was already stunned by Finn's set of data, Finn continued with a spring breeze on his face: "The second good news....... Let me tell you secretly, it is estimated that our head of state will soon announce that the Algerian oil fields belong to France. ”

"No one will take away your oil fields," Fein put his hand on Bliss's shoulder and squeezed it hard: "Germany will not let you sign a new Treaty of Versailles, this is what our Führer told me in private. ”

What is an angel, this is an angel! What is repaying grievances with virtue, this is repaying grievances with virtue!

Bliss couldn't believe what kind of subtle changes would happen to the relationship between the two countries when the news broke that Germany and France had jointly exploited Africa's largest oil field, and then the Germans solemnly announced that the Algerian oil fields belonged to France and that they would not take advantage of them.......
