Berlin, capital of the German Empire, Imperial Palace, in the study of Wilhelm II. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info a pre-imperial meeting is being held.

"Your Royal Highness, congratulations! I heard that Deutsche Energie has developed an amazing amount of oil fields in Cyrenaica! Field Marshal Tirpitz, Lord of the Admiralty, smiled.

As the Navy has more and more warships, and almost all of these warships use oil-fired boilers, the Navy's fuel consumption is also increasing. Although, the Navy has also built up to a million tons of oil storage facilities. However, if the war drags on for too long, millions of tons of oil may not be enough! In addition, the navy does not have extra funds to spend on crude oil reserves. Now that Deutsche Energie has acquired a huge oil field, the problem is well solved.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect that there really was oil there. This was undoubtedly great news for the German Empire. I have ordered the energy companies to go all out and try to send crude oil to the country in three months' time, and further increase our oil reserves! Qin Tian said. After acquiring oil fields, it is natural to increase domestic oil reserves. After all, once war breaks out, even if you want to bring oil back before defeating the British Navy, it is unlikely!

The other important ministers of the empire also had a hint of joy on their faces. After all, this is undoubtedly a great thing for the empire.

"This is God blessing the German Empire, and in the future war, we will definitely be able to defeat the British and French!" Moltke Jr. said.

"Humph! This is not a blessing from God, but a prophetic foresight of Lao Tzu. Otherwise, it will take decades for Libya's oil to be extracted. Qin Tian said secretly.

He knew that little Moltke was slapping Wilhelm II's sycophants in a different way! At the same time, it can also downplay Qin Tian's contributions, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Wilhelm II nodded in satisfaction, as if he agreed with Moltke's statement.

"Damn the Italians, they've been blind this time. Perhaps, this is what God is punishing them! Kaiser Wilhelm II said. He was still haunted by the Italian's last behavior.

"Your Majesty, the Italians must regret their death this time. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised to give them a forty percent share! But they could have swallowed it all! "Bernhardt? Feng? Billo said with a smile.

The other ministers also burst out laughing.

"Unfortunately, the oil fields are too far away from home. We don't have a way to guard. If war breaks out, the British and French will definitely destroy or send troops to occupy our oil fields. Or rather, the Italians will simply turn the other cheek and take the oil fields for themselves. Qin Tian said.

Everyone's faces suddenly became a little unpleasant. They all knew that the possibilities that Qin Tian said were almost all bound to happen. This is not a good thing for Germany.

"There is no way around it, and as soon as the war starts, the British will send their navy to blockade our coastline. Even if there is oil, it can't be shipped back. But as long as our Navy is able to defeat the British Navy. Then, all the problems are solved. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

"Tirpitz, it seems that the task of the Navy is very difficult! Imperial Navy, was it confident that the British would be defeated? Wilhelm II looked at Marshal Count Tirpitz.

However, the development of the German navy was very rapid. But their opponent is, after all, the hegemon of the sea! Historically, it has been very difficult to challenge the hegemon. On the way to this challenge, quite a few corpses have fallen. The Spaniards, the Dutch, the French, now it's the turn of the Germans. Wilhelm II also had some bottomless in his heart.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Imperial Navy is confident that it will defeat the British in one fell swoop in future naval battles!" Tirpitz replied firmly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is getting tense right now. It seems that there is not much time left until the outbreak of war. From now on, the Empire is in full swing to prepare for war. Once war breaks out, the Empire needs to prepare and attack as soon as possible! Wilhelm II ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone replied.

While Germany was rejoicing at the acquisition of oil fields, the British government was discussing countermeasures.

"Shit! How could the Germans be so lucky? We are suppressing access to crude oil for the Germans, and now they are suddenly getting a large oil field. Isn't that all our previous efforts in vain? Churchill was furious.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a new way." Prime Minister Asquith's face is not very good-looking.

The British learned from the intelligence that almost all the warships of the German Navy used oil-fired boilers. In order to further combat the German Navy, the British began to manipulate crude oil, but they did not expect that they had tried their best and still failed to succeed.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, let the Mediterranean Fleet be dispatched! Directly destroy the ports of the Germans in Cyrenaica, and then send troops to destroy the oil fields. Admiralty Secretary McKenna suggested.

"No, a large part of the income from the oil fields belongs to the Italians. If we do that, we'll anger the Italians. Don't forget, we're trying to win over the Italians and get them to betray the allies. "Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey immediately objected to this suggestion.

"Well, that's right. It is not yet possible to destroy the oil fields. However, we can advise the Italians to monopolize the oil fields. After the outbreak of war, if we can win the Italians into our camp, then we can let the Italians occupy the oil fields. The Germans will not get a drop of oil in the future. If the Italians don't know what to do and won't join us, we'll destroy the oil fields. Churchill suggested.

"Yes, just do it. Since it is not possible to prevent the Germans from obtaining oil for the time being, then we will not care about this aspect. When the war broke out, all the problems were solved. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" All cabinet ministers replied.

"Gentlemen, the international situation is becoming more and more tense right now. It is clear that the Germans are preparing for war. So, we don't have much time. From now on, prepare for war with all your might. If war broke out, the Germans had to be defeated. The British Empire could not be defeated in future wars. We still want to be the leader of the world! Prime Minister Asquith said.

"God bless the British Empire!"
