Coal to oil? This technology, which is now already being used in Germany, is a drop in the pen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In later history, in order to make up for the oil shortage, Germany used a large number of coal-to-oil technology to convert coal into oil, so why did no other country do this after the war?

There is no other reason, the cost is too high!

Even in later generations, with more advanced technology, it was possible to convert four tons of coal into one ton of gasoline.

Yes, it can only be gasoline, and if you use coal to oil, you can only turn it into gasoline, and besides, Germany's coal to oil can only become gasoline No. 87, and the label can no longer be raised.

Therefore, during World War II, a lot of Germany's equipment and tanks of the main forces used gasoline, which is the reason why coal to oil can only be converted to gasoline.

The low gasoline mark also limited the development of air force aircraft, and the high-efficiency supercharger could not break through, because the low-grade gasoline had a low ignition point, so the high-altitude performance of the German fighter was seriously insufficient.

And now, these are not a problem, Libyan oil can come out like a blowout at any time. Germany does not have to worry about the problem of fuel, so almost all of the equipment of Germany's ground forces are diesel engines, and German aircraft have long used high-grade fuel.

Coal-to-oil conversion is not available, so although there is also coal-to-oil conversion in Germany, it is not carried out in large quantities.

In addition to coal-to-oil, another technology is shale oil.

In later generations, shale oil seems to be a hot topic, as if shale oil has only become popular in recent years, in fact, shale oil has existed for a long time.

The shale oil industry in Western Europe began in 1835, when France built the world's first shale oil mill to produce shale oil from dry distillation.

At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the development of the automobile industry and the outbreak of the First World War, the demand for fuel for internal combustion engines increased significantly, and the production of shale oil in Western Europe was further developed.

For example, just this year, 1937, Western Europe produced 500 thousand tons of shale oil.

It was only after World War II that the shale oil industry came to a halt because the cost of shale oil could not compete with cheap natural oil.

Unfortunately, if you look at the distribution of shale oil, you can see that Germany has only a small area in the northwest.

Now, Germany is also engaged in the industrial production of shale oil, but these are far from meeting the needs of mechanized troops.

So, only imports!

After World War I, Germany lost all its colonies and could no longer obtain cheap oil resources.

The richest and easiest regions of the Middle East in the world have been carved up by the victorious countries of World War I, and almost all of these regions were British colonies, and Germany could not afford to touch these areas.

So, we can only look to Romania.

Romania is the largest oil producer in Europe after the Soviet Union, located at the intersection of Eastern, Central and Southeastern Europe, with easy access to oil to all parts of Europe, and Romania is an agricultural country with low oil extraction and consumption capacity.

In World War I, Germany occupied the oil fields in Romania, and then Britain sent agents to burn all the oil refining equipment and oil reserves.

Romania is not a colony, so for Romania, you can use commercial methods!

Historically, this is how Britain dealt with Germany.

At the beginning of World War II, in order to stop the German attack, Britain imported a large amount of Romanian oil and raised the price, so that all the oil stocks in Romania were snapped up by the British, and even the British booked the oil supply contract for the second half of the year and the right to supply oil after the contract expired.

The British were so well beaten by years of experience in commercial competition that they were so desperate that they borrowed all the barges and train cars from Romania to prevent them from being used to sell oil to Germany.

In October 1939, Germany imported 70,000 tons of oil from Romania, and by January 1940, there were 10,000 tons left, and in that month, 255,000 tons and 106,000 tons were sold to Britain and France, respectively.

It can be said that by economic means, Germany was almost squeezed out of Romania's oil imports, of course, Hitler had only one way to kill Romania for this act of death, that is, to directly kill it and occupy Romania!

And now, World War II is still far away! It's still peacetime, and of course it's peaceful! Now, Germany has a strong financial base, and Germany can easily import all the oil from Romania!

"Even if the price is a little higher, we have a monopoly on Romanian oil exports." "All the oil exported from Romania is imported. We're not short of money. ”

"At the same time, we can also sell our advanced arms to Romania, and we can also import Romanian grain, which, I believe, the Romanian side is also very willing." Ciric said.

The Spanish Civil War showed the incomparably advanced nature of German equipment, and Romania must have liked it very much, especially since Romania had a general who admired Germany very much!

In this era, Germany's influence was expanding, and Hitler was the idol of all Europe, as early as 1924, the leader of the Romanian student movement, Codrianu, established the Iron Guard, which was established under Hitler's influence.

And in the economic crisis of previous years, the slogan of the Iron Guard's "one man, one acre" made many landless peasants turn to it, and in the cities also won the support of some dissatisfied with the status quo.

And in the army, a general named Jan Antonescu also has a close relationship with the Iron Guard, and this general, who is about to become the Minister of War, has a great influence in the army.

Give some benefits to the decaying and backward king, and then entrap this general, and Romania will gradually be tied to its own chariot!

Ciric continued: "The next target is the Soviet Union, although we fought with the Soviet Union once in the Spanish Civil War, but I believe that we will soon re-establish relations with the Soviet Union, which has more oil reserves than Romania. ”

Ciric, of course, remembers that in January 1939, the Soviets and Germans signed a non-aggression pact. That year, Germany received 900,000 tons of oil from the Soviet Union. The following year, Soviet oil accounted for two-thirds of Germany's total imports that year.

The Soviet Union wanted Germany to go west, and the West wanted the water to go east, and in this way, Germany became strong. When Germany first occupied Western Europe, it already had great power. What Shirek's crossing wants to change is the second half of history.
