Himmler respectfully withdrew from the door, and after closing the door, the Imperial Minister of the Interior put on his arrogant face again, and glanced around the British envoy sitting at the door with a gloomy gaze.

"Eric, the Führer told you to bring the Britons in." Turning to face Tysenhoven, Himmler's poker face took on a kind smile.

"Understood, Your Excellency, are you going back now?" Tysenhofen respectfully asked, and this was what pleased Himmler most about the Führer's close aide-de-camp, which each time compensated the former chicken farmer's pride.

"Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done, so see you next time, Eric." Himmler straightened his tie and bowed to Tysenhowen.

"Hey! Reinhart! ”

After receiving the return salute from Tysenhofen, Himmler strode towards the exit at the top of the corridor, and the aide-de-camp and the guards who were waiting on the side hurriedly rushed forward and followed closely beside him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Attlee, and now you can go in." Tysenhofen opened the office door and made an inviting gesture.

"You guys are waiting outside." Attlee stood up and straightened her dress and grooming with the help of her secretary.

"The Führer, the British Envoy, His Excellency Attlee and Lord Lloyd, have arrived." Tysenhofen announced loudly to Xu Jun.

Attlee and Lloyd stood at the door, bowing to Xu Jun from a distance, and then strode towards Xu Jun's desk.

As I have previously introduced Hitler's chancellor's office, which is unusually huge, it is almost 15 meters away from the door to the desk, and this distance will make people feel like they are parading the streets when they meet someone who is more psychologically sensitive. But the two British politicians had long been accustomed to such scenes, and the state rooms of Buckingham Palace were a little more empty than here, and they were not just as grand as they were in the eyes of a circle of ministers, not to mention that there were only two German Führers and his aide-de-camp in this office now.

Before the British could enter the door, Xu Jun stood up early and waited behind the huge desk, with that standard aristocratic elegant smile on his face.

"Welcome, Mr. Attlee, Mr. Lloyd." Xu Jun spread his hands to the two British envoys.

"It is a great pleasure to be received by you, Your Excellency the Führer." The two Britons greeted in unison, and bowed to Xu Jun with the highest level of diplomatic etiquette.

"You may be seated, gentlemen." Xu Jun stood up and stretched out his hand to signal to the other party.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency." After Attlee and Lloyd thanked him, he stooped down on the couch at his desk.

"Well, take it easy, gentlemen, and want some tea? Or coffee? Xu Jun sat back on his throne, his fingers stroking the velvet covering the armrest, and asked gently.

"Tea, thank you very much, Your Excellency." Attlee replied respectfully.

"Me too, Your Excellency." Lloyd replied.

"Eric, a pot of black tea, thank you." Xu Jun stretched his neck and instructed Tysenhofen, who was still standing at the door waiting for instructions.

"Okay, wait a minute, my Führer." The adjutant nodded in acknowledgement, then opened the door and walked out of the office.

"It was late when I received a call from Mr. Chamberlain, so I didn't have time to prepare to receive you." Xu Jun picked up the cigar box on the table, flipped open the lid and signaled to the two envoys.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, this visit is really a bit hasty, and we should be presumptuous." Attlee picked up the cigar from the humidor. Lloyd respectfully declined.

"I'll smoke this, Your Excellency." He pulled a pipe out of his pocket.

"Feel free, Mr. Lord." Xu Jun smiled and put the humidor back on his desk.

"How is Prime Minister Chamberlain's health now?" Xu Jun struck a match and raised his hand to hand the matchbox to Attlee.

"It's a little better than last month, and the medical team from Germany is excellent and has played a very key role in stabilizing His Excellency the Prime Minister." Attlee replied.

"Penicillin?" After speaking, Xu Jun took two puffs of his cigar, and then threw the matchstick into the ashtray.

"Yes, Your Excellency, it is a miracle medicine. Our scientists, together with German scientists, are working on the problems of mass production. We believe that once this drug is put on the international market, it will bring great changes to the whole world. A large number of fatal diseases will be effectively controlled, which will be a blessing for the whole of humanity. Attlee replied enthusiastically.

"I think so and we will fully support this research work. However, according to the information we have, the same research is being carried out in the country across the Pacific Ocean, but the progress is very slow, far behind our current process, so I suggest that the protection of the research results should be strengthened, knowing that the profit-seeking nouveau riche can do anything to achieve their goals. When Xu Jun was boasting about himself, he didn't forget to blacken the group of American chaebols on the other side of the river.

"Indeed, Your Excellency, we are ready for this, the benefits of this study are immeasurable, and the British Empire is confident that nothing will go wrong." Attlee replied confidently.

"I have never doubted the power of the British Empire, Mr. Attlee. Now let us get down to business, and Mr. Chamberlain, who did not make it very clear on the telephone about your mission, can you tell me in detail what Britain wants Germany to do? Xu Jun tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the table.

"I'm very sorry, your Excellency, but the stakes are too high to go into too much detail on the phone. Before I explain my intentions, please take a look at the document I have brought. Attlee picked up the briefcase beside him, pulled out a stack of papers from it, and respectfully passed the top one to Xu Jun's desk.

"What is this?" Xu Jun put the cigar on the ashtray, and then curiously picked up the document and read it carefully.

"Has the situation in the document been confirmed?" Xu Jun looked at the document and asked with a frown.

"It was the intelligence we gathered at our embassy there, and it was confirmed by Iranian officials, and we believe that it is necessary to inform Germany of the situation in a timely manner." Attlee replied.

"Our diplomats have failed in their duties, and we are very grateful to your government for their timely announcement, which is a substantial manifestation of the friendship between the two countries, and I believe that on this basis, Britain and Germany can continue to deepen their mutual cooperation." Xu Jun nodded in approval.

Hearing Xu Jun's words, Attlee and Lloyd's faces suddenly showed joy.

"My Excellency, the British Empire has also considered this, and during this time we have been working on repairing relations between Britain and Germany, and there has been significant progress." Lord Lloyd said.

The content of the document is indeed very important for Germany, and it directly touches on the core issue of Xu Jun's next strategy. Historically, Germany has always been plagued by energy and fuel shortages, and Hitler even grovelled to his most hated old enemy for help, but no matter how hard Germany tried, the possibility of a complete solution to this problem was close to zero in the historical circumstances in which it was located.

Germany lacked enough fossil fuels, in fact it lacked almost everything but coal, iron, and potatoes.

The First World War and the Treaty of Versailles devastated Germany's economy, leaving him with little extra money to buy the resources he needed, and his heavy foreign debt forced Germany to come up with barter, exchanging the resources it needed for the industrial products it produced.

But there is an important resource that Germany cannot obtain even if it is smashing the pot and selling iron, and that is the most important raw oil raw material for an industrial country.

At that time, Germany's chemical industry was very developed, and it was able to skillfully extract usable fuel from coal, and in 40 years, Germany already had 20 large-scale synthetic oil fields, which could provide 4 million tons of synthetic fuel every year, accounting for more than 40% of Germany's domestic fuel needs. The remaining 60% can only rely on imports from major oil-producing regions.

But the world's most important oil-producing regions have basically been carved up by the major powers, leaving no share for Germany at all. Especially after the Polish War, under the four breads of Britain and France, the only way for Germany to obtain oil was the Soviet Union and Romania.

The problem is that the Soviet Union is immersed in industrialization, its own energy consumption is very large, and the share available for export is very limited. More than ninety percent of Romania's oil fields were controlled by oil companies from Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, and the government's own share was only a pitiful 9.7 percent.

In fact, from this time on, the shadow of the German fuel crisis had begun to loom over the empire.

Historically, Germany quickly defeated France, took most of Europe into its own hands, and seized millions of tons of oil from the occupying powers, totaling 12 million tons at one point, a figure that gave the illusion that the fuel problem that plagued Germany no longer existed.

But in fact, Germany's ostensible occupation of the European countries is actually tantamount to a large burden, because the fuel supply of these countries will also be provided by the German side.

Only a small part of the captured oil reserves were actually taken by the Germans, and most of them were still digested by the occupying powers themselves, because when they surrendered to Germany, they also lost all sources of oil, and the powerful British Navy had already included their oil tankers in the blockade target.

In order to show the excellence of the new order of the Third Reich, and perhaps to prevent fires in the backyard, Germany slapped its face and became fat, and provided the occupying powers with its hard-won oil resources. This is the biggest reason why Germany's reserves will quickly shrink to dangerous limits when the Eastern Front is launched. To put it bluntly, the source of oil in Germany has not increased, while the target of consumption has increased several times,

Eventually, when Romania fell and the country's synthetic oil factories were destroyed by the Anglo-American strategic bombing, the Third Reich had a million-strong army and countless technical equipment, but it was no longer capable of launching any large-scale campaigns.

But now history has changed, and the situation in Germany is very different, and the Reich is now guaranteed a source of oil, which can be imported from Romania and the Soviet Union, and at the same time receives a share of the crude oil produced by the oil companies of the British and French colonies.
