Xu Jun didn't pay much attention to Saudi Arabia at first, which he saw as the traditional sphere of influence of the United States, and at the moment the relationship between Germany and the United States was warming rapidly, and he was not prepared to make a fuss about it.

But with the information fed back by Odin's Eye in the Middle East, Xu Jun realized that he had accidentally fallen into a misunderstanding, Saudi Arabia is indeed an ally of the United States in the future, but now it is 1940, and this country has not yet entered the sight of the US government.

The United States is still cautious about the Middle East, confined to some non-governmental commercial development, and does not touch on any cooperation and exchanges between governments. This is mainly due to the fear that it will provoke the British Empire, which has planted many puppets and protectorates in the Middle East, and it is easy to be attacked by a group if it intervenes rashly.

The point is that the Middle East is too far away from the United States, and there are no American colonies, and domestic isolationism is on the rise, and only a fool would anger that traditional "ally" for the sake of an Arab country.

As the world's largest oil producer at that time, the oil fields in the United States could not be fully developed, and the annual oil output of the United States in 40 years was as high as 200 million tons.

Besides, the Standard Oil Company of California, if it had been placed in the eighties and nineties of the last century, Xu Jun might have had some scruples, when Rockefeller's oil kingdom was at its peak, with almost unlimited resources and political influence. However, since Standard Oil was forcibly split by the U.S. government under antitrust laws, California Standard was only split into one of the 34 branches, and the company's own strength was limited, so it dragged Texas Oil to participate in the development.

Historically, the United States took advantage of the emergency situation in Britain and North Africa to begin to extend its tentacles into the Middle East, and in order to protect the Suez Canal, Britain could only pinch its nose and pretend not to see its distant relatives, which was obviously a robbery by fire.

The comprehensive exploration of Saudi Arabia by the United States was carried out at the same time as the entry of US troops into North Africa, and there is a clear line on the timeline that shows the development and transformation of the US strategy in the Middle East.

It was not until four or three years that the United States began to pay attention to the problem of national strategic resources, especially important energy sources, oil is regarded as a non-renewable resource, so it is necessary to reduce local exploitation as much as possible, and it has become a national strategic task to find new energy sources overseas.

It was in 1944 that Saudi Arabia's oil resources were really known to the United States. At that time, one of the founders of the National Geological Society of the United States, the famous American geologist Avery Brown. Plum. De Goril was appointed by the government to lead a resource survey mission to Saudi Arabia to inspect local oil production and estimate the potential for oil development around the Persian Gulf. The following year, De Goriel returned to Washington with a report with detailed data, which showed that about 3.42 billion tons of oil reserves had been explored and identified in six countries in the Persian Gulf region, of which about 600 million tons were in Saudi Arabia. But based on the geological data available, de Gorier estimated that the region's oil reserves were much more than that, and he predicted at the time that it could be more than 40 billion tons.

It was this report that led the United States to confirm its determination to intervene in Middle East affairs, and began to use the name of open door and national independence to frequently attack the group of "allies" in old Europe. The United States even did not hesitate to join hands with the Soviet Union to take advantage of opportunities such as the Suez Canal crisis and the Israeli founding war to gradually expel Britain and France and other old colonial powers from the Middle East and replace them as the most important allies of the Arab world.

But now that Xu Jun has come to this world, it is impossible for these histories to be repeated, and he will not give the Americans a chance to intervene in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia still has no backer at this time, but it is sitting on such rich oil resources, just like a young child holding gold in the downtown area, but the Saudi royal family does not know how to be obscure, but vainly provokes the big country, which is really self-defeating, self-inflicted evil. There is a so-called heaven that does not take it, but suffers from it; When it doesn't work, but suffers from it, Germany's trip can be said to be in response to heaven's orders, for the heavens, to have a way to cut down the non-way, to save the ignorant Shuli in danger, Xu Jun felt that a strong sense of mission rose in his heart, he is not only changing a piece of history, but also changing the fate of thousands of people in later generations.

After the dispatch of Germany's African army, the fate of Saudi Arabia has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can reverse it, not even the Americans. What's more, the United States will not turn its face at all for a desert tribal group and the European hegemon, American energy companies are still in a hurry to do business with Germany, after the standard split, there is more than one California Standard Oil Company, formerly known as the New York Standard Company, Mobil Oil Company, which is currently doing well in Europe and North Africa, I believe that Mobil will be happy to be a thug for Germany, in order to curry favor with the young imperial head. Where do the capitalists have any friendship with each other, the competition between the oil companies is already fierce, and if the California standard unfortunately falls into the well, there will be a bunch of oil companies from other states throwing stones into the well.

Xu Jun chose the perfect moment, and of course Saudi Arabia itself is partly responsible, misestimating the situation in Europe, underestimating the speed of Britain's response to such problems, and not expecting Germany to intervene. At this moment, Saudi Arabia did not even know that it was about to face an attack from Europe's number one military power, and the fall of the kingdom was only a matter of time.

"I'll first summon representatives of British and French oil companies in Berlin, and then I'll hold a European oil strategy conference in Berlin with France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium and Denmark to discuss oil development in North Africa and the Persian Gulf region." The German Führer said as he puffed up smoke.

"It will probably take a while, my Führer." Brauchitsch looked up from the map.

"Believe me, they will be very fast, and the businessman will always smell the profit." Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"What do you think? Keitel. Brauchitsch turned his head to look at the Chief of Staff of the High Command.

"We need to ramp up our supply to the Afrika Army, where the roads are in terrible condition and, above all, there is a lack of water." Keitel clearly had his mind on the map.

"That's not what I'm asking... But forget it, the General Staff has long taken into account the problems you mentioned, and we will use airdrops as much as possible to replenish supplies to front-line units. Brauchitsch said.

"The burden on the Air Force will be heavy, how big is the capacity of the nearby airfields, what is the service support capacity, and the transportation situation, I have not seen the relevant intelligence, I need more detailed data." Keitel got into shape, frowning as he calculated the difficulty of resupplying.

"The vanguard of the African Army should be the Third Motorized Reconnaissance Battalion that has just been assigned to them." Xu Jun flipped through the document in his hand.

"I remember that the 3rd Motorized Reconnaissance Battalion was supposed to be subordinate to the 3rd Panzer Division." Keitel struggled to remember.

"The battalion commander is Manfried. Feng. Baron Wycombe, Army Major? Xu Jun looked down at the list.

"I remember him, he was a qualified commander, but he had a somewhat ... How to say it, awkward, is the word. Brauchitsch looked at Keitel.

"Awkward? It seems that there is a point.,I often like to have a straight face.,It looks like a tough attitude.,In fact, it's a very polite young man.。 Keitel remembered the baron, too.

"Why do you all know him?" Xu Jun was very surprised, to say that this was just a small major, and it was theoretically impossible to contact the commander-in-chief of the army and the chief of staff of the high command.

"His father, Ludwijk. Feng. Colonel Wycombe, who worked in the Office of the Army Command during his time in the Weimar Republic, had known each other for a long time, and had been invited to the major's wedding. Keitel replied.

"I see, it's awkward.... Interesting... Wait, according to your statement, this guy won't be a tsundere. Xu Jun suddenly knocked his palm with his fist.

"Tsundere? What do you mean? Sounds like a foreign language, my Führer. Kettel asked, confused.

"Ahh Far away in Alexandria, Egypt, he was standing on the deck of a transport ship and directing the troops to land von . Major Wycombe, for some unknown reason, suddenly let out a loud sneeze.
