Chapter 294: 500,000 barrels per day
For Germany, China is also an important source of resources, and at the same time, Germany exports a large amount of arms to China, and both sides take what they need. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Japan, on the other hand, wants to invade and destroy the existing government in China, and this difference between the two sides is almost irreconcilable.
Mussolini nodded: "I personally accept this steel treaty. ”
Conclude this pact first and see how the Germans fought! Mussolini had already made up his mind.
"Then, after signing this agreement, we can provide some technical support to Italy." Ciric continued: "IMHO, in the last Spanish Civil War, we have already found that your armored forces are too backward. ”
This sentence made Mussolini's old face red.
It's not like I don't know, it's more frightening.
The CV33 tanks that Italy is making now are simply toys, and neither are the CV35 tanks, all of them are lagging behind!
Look at the Spanish Civil War, the Italian Army, the hard bones that can't be gnawed, the German tanks started up, and they were taken down directly! Now that the Spanish Civil War is over, the Italian Army is also deeply reflecting.
As a result of this reflection, they had to develop a heavy tank!
However, the technology in this area is too bad, from a two-ton light tank to a tank of more than twenty tons at once, the difficulty is not a little bit, so now they are still in the exploration stage.
If there is technical support in Germany, it will be different!
"We can also send some of the backbone of the army into the Italian army and train your tank units to give them an advanced tactical level, what do you think?" Ciric said.
This was the result of meetings with Hitler and others before Mussolini arrived.
To transform the Italian army, the combat effectiveness of the Noodle Army is too weak, and they must be reformed in order to be able to really help in future wars, not to be funny.
Moreover, a large number of instructors were sent, of course, in order to control the Italian army more conveniently in the future!
It can be said that in the entire European theater of World War II, only the German army was fighting, and the armies of the other servant countries were all playing soy sauce!
Now, Germany already has a 40-ton Panther 3 tank, and it is nothing to export part of the technology of the 20-ton Panther 2 tank to Italy, and now, many countries have been able to develop 20-ton tanks.
Or help Italy to develop with their existing technology. In this way, Germany's hand can also be extended to the field of military research and development in Italy.
"We welcome this." Mussolini was already satisfied, Italy's own technology was not enough, and since Germany was willing to help, of course, it was unwanted.
Now, Germany has shown goodwill to Italy in all respects, so what else can Mussolini say?
"Well, about our oil side." "At the beginning, we agreed that once the oil was pumped out, we could give Italy 20 percent, but now, we will increase the proportion to 30 percent to Italy, do you think it is acceptable?" ”
Thirty percent! Then Italy will get a million tons of oil a year! For Italy, it's actually enough.
In Italy now, the mechanized troops are still very small, and the oil shortage, in fact, is almost none, and now it is enough for them to use so much.
Moreover, Italy has not contributed any funds, purely for free, so Mussolini knows that there is no possibility for him to refuse.
When I came, I originally planned to bring over the oil exploitation rights of Libya, but now, I only get 130% of the oil share, but if I add other agreements, this trip is still worth it.
Hitler never spoke much, after all, Ciric proposed that once Mussolini did not agree, then Hitler could change his words, and once Hitler's proposal was rejected by Mussolini, it would be difficult to change his words, and Hitler would be embarrassed.
It wasn't until Mussolini was sent off that everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
"These greedy Italians!" Goering cursed.
Greedy! Libyan oil is completely made by its own side, it has cost so much, and now, Italy does not have to pay anything, it automatically enjoys 30 percent, it is simply too infuriating!
"Now, we can finally get our hands on Libyan oil in large quantities." "Within a month, we can produce 500,000 barrels of oil per day in Libya, and our pipelines are built according to this capacity," Shirek said. ”
500,000 barrels! Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened again.
What kind of data is this? Some data can be compared.
In 1940, Germany had 4.8 million tons of oil; 3.2 million tons of coal-made oil, it can be seen that coal-to-oil is Germany's main energy force, almost half of which is almost half, so almost all of Germany's tanks are gasoline, which is helpless.
Historically, Germany's oil production peaked in 1943, with 7.6 million tons of oil; 5.53 million tons of coal-made oil. This is already the limit for Germany.
And now, these, in front of Libya's oil, are drizzle.
One ton of oil is about seven barrels, and 500,000 barrels is about 70,000 tons, and the output of that month is 2.1 million tons, and the output of a year is about 25 million tons!
What a staggering number! Moreover, this is the initial stage, and in the future, if the production capacity is further increased, it should be no problem to increase by 50%. It can even increase by 100%.
Now, Italy does not have any exploitation rights, only enjoys 30% of the oil, of course Ciric will not give him the real 30%, anyway, he does not know how much he produces, a year to Italy one or two million tons, it is enough for Italy!
Comparing it with the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States produced 205.91 million tons of oil in 1940 and 33 million tons in 1941.
It can be seen that the United States, as the most profound heritage, is really not comparable to ordinary countries, but for Germany, in addition to Libya, there will also be Romania, and there will be oil fields throughout Europe, including the Soviet oil fields in the future.
It can be said that relying on the Libyan oil fields, Germany no longer has to worry about the oil problem!
Behind this, is the hard work of Ciric for more than ten years, many oil workers, have dedicated their youth to Germany, in the Libyan desert, more than ten years like a day, continuous drilling, mothballing, their silent and selfless efforts, to have today's results.
Of course, the 500,000 barrels per day of crude oil is not shocking, which is less than half of Libya's oil production in later generations.
Libya's oil has always been a secret, except for a very few people, other people don't know at all, now, Shirek threw out this number, everyone is extremely excited, with oil, then there is no need to worry!
"We mobilized all the oil tankers to transport Libyan oil to Germany in large quantities, trying to store enough oil before the war." Ciric continued.
"And what about after the war?" Goering asked.
"After the war, we must seize sea power in the Mediterranean." Ciric said solemnly.
