Will Zhang Chengtian be a well-controlled puppet?! If Hitler could find a few colleagues who had been in contact with Zhang for more than a day, he would have inquired about it. Then Hitler would never have come to the conclusion that he could easily take away Chang's rights.

A person who walks around every morning in the uniform of a newly haired major general, laughing and walking back and forth for the guards to salute, will make it easy for people to steal their current status?!

As an otaku who has not stepped into a high status in his previous life, Zhang Chengtian cherishes everything now. Therefore, as soon as Hitler showed his desire to control, Zhang Chengtian had already become murderous.

However, until the separation, Zhang Chengtian did not show this murderous intent on his face, and still said goodbye to the party leader with a smirk.

After completing his communication with Hitler, Zhang Chengtian did not get even a little time to rest. He was hurriedly loaded into a car by the adjutant and transported to the office of the German oil minister, Miles.

Although it was already time to get off work, Miles, the most conscientious minister, still used his greatest enthusiasm to receive the popular major general of the republic.

Even after receiving a call from Zhang Chengtian to visit, Miles immediately walked out of the office and stood downstairs for a full half an hour.

"Minister Myers, I've kept you waiting. I really can't get enough of that. Since he didn't eat dinner, Zhang Chengtian greeted Miles while nibbling on an apple.

Looking at the casual major general in front of him, where did he look a little embarrassed. However, Miles, who has always been sleek, still laughed and said: "Where is it, it is my honor to have the opportunity to wait for a hero like you, General." ”

The two chatted as they walked into Miles' office. The moment he closed the door, Zhang Chengtian immediately changed into a serious expression and said squarely: "Minister Myers, how much oil reserves do we have so far. ”

Apparently not reacting to Zhang Chengtian's quick change of face, Miles paused for a moment before replying, "Oh, that's right. Thanks to the imported oil secretly provided by you, Admiral, the domestic oil reserves have reached 960,000 tons. ”

The imported oil in Myers's mouth was obviously Zhang Chengtian's reward for cooperating with the Soviet Union. However, Myers did not know the source of the oil. He only knew that Zhang Chengtian's subordinates secretly imported a large amount of oil and delivered it to the oil department, and the purchase price paid by the oil department was significantly lower than the market price.

Germany is already a country that relies heavily on oil imports, and the arrival of this batch of cheap oil has solved one of the biggest problems for Myers, the oil minister.

First of all, this batch of oil was secretly imported, and Britain and France and other countries obviously did not know about it, which also reduced Germany's demand for Romanian oil. After Germany slightly reduced its oil imports to Romania, Britain and France breathed a clear sigh of relief to Germany.

In Britain's view, Germany's reduction in Romanian oil imports, which is already small, means that Germany will not be able to support the fuel consumption of its ocean-going navy. In this way, the German navy will develop into a regional navy, which is in line with Britain's national policy of maintaining a balance between Germany and France.

In France's view, Germany's reduction in oil imports means that Germany will be much lower than France in terms of oil reserves. According to the model of the last world war, once Germany and France go to war again, Germany's logistics will be limited due to the lack of oil, which is very beneficial to France, which has rich oil reserves based on the Maginot Line.

Obviously, Myers thought that it was a matter of joy that Germany could store nearly a million tons of oil without hiding from Britain and France.

However, after listening to Myers' report, Zhang Chengtian not only did not have any joy, but said worriedly: "In the past few years, I have secretly provided more than 800,000 tons of oil to the Ministry of Oil, and now you tell me that the domestic oil reserves are not even 1 million tons!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chengtian clenched his fists, slammed his fist on Miles's desk and said: "According to this logical reasoning, if the oil department didn't get this batch of oil from me, wouldn't it even be able to reach the reserve of 200,000 tons?!" ”

Miles saw Zhang Chengtian, who was suddenly angry, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After all, the current Zhang Chengtian already has enough strength and power to put pressure on him.

Miles, who was busy explaining, quickly ran to the desk, took out a few reports and handed them to Zhang Chengtian and said: "Major General Reinhardt, it's not that our department hasn't tried, it's really because the British and French have imposed too tight a blockade on our oil. ”

Zhang Chengtian took the report and scanned it at a glance. Through the experience of brushing up a lot of questions when he was a student in his previous life, Zhang Chengtian quickly discovered the cause of the German oil crisis.

According to the report, Germany's oil imports mainly rely on Romania in the Balkans.

Romania, on the other hand, is an agrarian country with very low capacity to extract and consume oil. Foreign capital is the de facto master of the mines in its various places. Among them, the Anglo-Dutch oil company has a share of 39.8%, France has 16.6%, the United States has 12.5%, and Romania itself has only 9.7%.

Germany, as a defeated country in World War I, was even more unable to carve up the oil cake of Romania. Under the contact of domestic businessmen secretly, he barely got less than 5% of the share.

Under the strict oil blockade imposed by Britain and France on Germany, Germany was only able to import enough oil from Romania for civilian use.

After a short silence, Zhang Chengtian seemed to ask Myers a little off-topic: "Minister Myers, what do you think of the Socialist Workers' Party?" ”

Hearing Zhang Chengtian's seemingly casual remarks, Miles, who had been in the officialdom all the year round, frowned and was silent for a few seconds.

Miles knew very well that the question asked by Zhang Chengtian at this time would never be an unrelated topic.

After a brief moment of reflection, Miles glanced at the office where he had been for 10 years. In the past 10 years, due to the lack of political resources, I have not been able to get the opportunity to be promoted, my enthusiasm has slowly dissipated, and my dream has gradually faded.

Why, without an aristocratic background, he can only become an inconsequential supporting role. While working silently, he allowed those Junker aristocrats with backgrounds to get ahead.

"Major General Reinhardt, I know that you are the de facto leader of this party. I don't know much about the idea of the Socialist Workers' Party. But I am more than happy to join the Socialist Workers' Party and follow in your footsteps. Miles loudly expressed his attitude to Zhang Chengtian.

It's time to join this passionate group, both for your own passion and for your future. Miles made up his mind hopefully.

After hearing this, Zhang Chengtian laughed and said, "I didn't expect Minister Myers to understand and make a decision so quickly for me to imply." ”

Miles also laughed and said: "Actually, I usually read the social work newspaper, and I learned from it that Major General you have reused a lot of young men with no background, similar to Otto Moritz Walter Moder, who defected from the security group. ”

I reused not only Moder, but also Kesselring and Guderian, and in the future I will also reuse Manstein, who has an aristocratic background. Zhang Chengtian thought with a blank look.

It seems that Miles understands his reuse of these historically proven celebrities as being because these people are willing to take his refuge in him.

Thinking that Zhang Chengtian couldn't trust his determination, Miles pressed his chest and swore: "Major General, please believe me." I am willing to be your most faithful subordinate, as long as you can give me the opportunity to prove myself. ”

Patting Miles on the shoulder, Zhang Chengtian said with relief: "It's a good thing to be self-motivated, and I approve of motivated people." But I want you to understand that my criteria for employing people are not only loyalty, but also personal ability. ”

Miles quickly raised his hand to Zhang Chengtian and saluted a non-standard party member: "Please rest assured, I am definitely not an incompetent person who is incompetent. With that, Miles pulled out a proposal from the safe in the corner of his office.

Zhang Chengtian, who took over the plan, praised Miles for his ugly gesture, and then opened the plan book that Miles used to prove his ability with great interest.

After turning the first page of the plan, Zhang Chengtian was deeply attracted by this plan.

The first half of the plan lays out in detail the proportion and distribution of oil imports from countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, the Dutch East Indies, the United States, and even the Soviet Union, with which Zhang has begun to deal with him.

In the second half of the plan, it mentions a technology that is being developed and experimented - coal-to-oil technology.

According to the pace of the whole plan, Germany can double its existing oil reserves through imports and self-refining in the next five years.

After 5 years, the more mature coal-to-oil technology can be put into production. Germany can fill part of the oil hole with its abundant coal resources.

In Chang's opinion, this plan is perfect (in fact, Germany has been able to have nearly 2.5 million tons of oil reserves after Britain and France strengthened the oil blockade in history, relying on this plan. The only difficulty in implementing the whole plan is that it costs a lot of money.

However, for Germany, which has just received a large loan from the United States, the funds are now much more abundant than they were at the beginning.
