PS: The ranking has been overtaken again, and the author urgently needs everyone's monthly pass support.

Today's first chapter is served, and the chapter will be added after dinner.

Of course, it is impossible for a German theater command not to move a few planes, but everyone wants to accompany the Führer in the operation, and no one wants to be left behind in this kind of thing.

At this time, even the high-ranking generals and marshals began to rush to consolidate their position in the heart of the Führer, and Europe was about to face a major war of astonishing scale, and no one wanted to fall out of favor in front of Xu Jun at this juncture.

If nothing else happens, it will be a magnificent war that can go down in history, and the generals who led and commanded this war are bound to become great heroes who will be remembered for thousands of years.

Xu Jun has already issued an order through the high command that all German generals with the rank of major general and above must have two or more engines in the aircraft when traveling long distances, and there are many commanders in the German army who have survived a hundred battles in history but unfortunately died in air crashes, Xu Jun does not want history to repeat itself in his time. So the fleet that returned to Berlin this time was composed of Vultures and Junkers, a full seventeen medium-sized transport planes, forming a flying formation.

"I will not interfere with Qu Hillel's command, the suggestions that should be made have been told to him, and the specific way to do it is completely up to him to play it personally." Xu Jun sat in his exclusive chair and talked eloquently with a teacup.

The Führer's seat is equipped with rounded bulletproof panels in the front and back, and there is also an emergency hatch in the floor, where you can parachute to escape in case of an accident. However, Xu Jun has always been surprised by this design, because Hitler had never received any training in parachuting, and to be honest, the former Führer was seriously lacking in training, and even jumping off the wall was somewhat dangerous.

"The competence of my Führer, General Cüchler, can be trusted, as evidenced by the excellent performance of the Afrika Army in Italy." Brauchitsch replied respectfully.

"So I gave him carte blanche and ordered the navy and air force to cooperate fully with his actions. I have only one request for him, that I see a brilliant victory, a solution to the problems of the Arab region once and for all. Xu Jun put the teacup on the table.

"This is a military-strategic issue, but it is also an economic and political issue, and we must eliminate all possible hidden dangers on the Arabian Peninsula before the outbreak of war on the Eastern Front." The Führer's finger poked at the grass-green velvet tabletop.

"The Arabian Peninsula was a direct choke on Europe's vital route to the Asian colonies, and the passage of transport routes through this region, both by land and sea, could greatly reduce the distance and time required. Otherwise, we would have to bypass the African coastline, doubling the distance and more than tripling the cost if we take into account the loss of machinery and fuel.

Southeast Asia is providing Europe with a steady stream of important strategic resources that we urgently need, oil, rare metals, organic materials, food, and medicines, many of which cannot be produced by Europe. Xu Jun said with a serious face.

"Saudi Arabia has shown hostility towards Europe, and Britain in particular, which would be fine in peacetime, but in the current situation, it is very dangerous. We must not sit idly by and watch Saudi power expand on the peninsula and eventually get out of control, as happened to the British. It took them a decade to nurture and nurture an opponent who gave them a headache, and it's a great black joke. But there was not a smile on the face of the Reich Führer.

"My Führer, I don't think there is anything wrong with what Britain is doing, but only if the British Empire remains as strong as it was forty years ago." Brauchitsch made a pertinent observation.

"You're absolutely right, Brauchitsch, and indeed as you say, if Britain is still strong, then the balance of power in the Middle East will not change, and no one will easily challenge the majesty of the British Empire." Xu Jun nodded in agreement: "But Britain has declined, their influence is shrinking along with their sphere of influence, they no longer have the deterrent power of the past, and those Arabs in the desert no longer tremble when they hear the prestige of the British Empire." What's more, they now have a leader who is strong enough to believe they can use to stand up to the British. ”

Then Xu Jun smiled and said: "I know that there are many officers in the army command who do not understand my orders, and they feel that this is the problem of the British themselves, and the empire can completely stand by and watch. ”

The Reich Führer raised his hand to stop Brauchitsch, who wanted to explain: "There is no need to defend them, their ideas are not wrong, I can fully understand that everyone has received traditional military education, and the interests of the German Empire are paramount." ”

"They don't understand because they don't see the importance of this war for the Empire, and they don't know how great the Empire will gain when this war is won." A smug smile appeared on the Führer's lips.

"I'm sorry, my Führer, it's a remiss of my duty." Brauchitsch bowed his head in greeting.

Xu Jun smiled and stretched out his hand, patted Brauchitsch's shoulder and comforted: "This has nothing to do with you, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, even if you are really derelict in your duties, it is because of me, so don't take it to heart." When the dust settles, they'll figure it out. ”

"I believe that after the end of this war, no one will doubt your judgment and decision, and even if they don't understand it in their hearts, they will resolutely carry out your orders."

"Isn't that the case now? Brauchitsch. ”

"The Wehrmacht will strictly carry out any orders you give, my Führer." Brauchitsch hurriedly replied aloud.

"Do you know why I'm in a hurry to go back to Berlin? Brauchitsch. Xu Jun picked up the teapot and refilled the cup with tea.

"I don't know, my Führer, but I'm sure there must be something particularly urgent that requires you to return to Berlin to deal with it." Brauchitsch gave a gentle slap in the face.

Xu Jun really looked very useful, and nodded with satisfaction: "You're right, I remembered a problem that must be dealt with immediately, and it can only be done when I return to Berlin." ”

Keitel had been listening honestly to the conversation between the commander-in-chief of the army and the Führer before, because he had not been asked by the Führer, His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff did not say a word, but when he heard Xu Jun's words just now, the Chief of Staff couldn't hold back anymore, he leaned over and interjected: "Is it about the Soviets?" My Führer. The Soviet envoys have been waiting in Berlin for a long time, and if they are not seen any longer, I fear that Stalin will be provoked. ”

"Well, I'll take time to meet them as soon as I get back to Berlin, and Stalin, though he was rude, was not easily provoked. Until they are ready to do anything with us, he will show more restraint and patience than anyone else. Xu Jun glanced at Kettel and said.

"As for the matters which I am anxious to go back to deal with, I will need your cooperation and, of course, Marshal Brauchitsch. It's a big business worth more than a billion marks, and I don't believe anyone will be tempted by it. Xu Jun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"A billion marks? My Führer, what you are saying ... Hundred million? Brauchitsch swallowed involuntarily.

"You heard it right, 10 million, 100 million." Xu Jun opened his two palms and gestured.

"I'm sorry, my Führer, I didn't understand, what do you mean by big business?" Keitel asked with a wink of small eyes.

"Oil! Oil of the Arabian Peninsula. Xu Jun replied.

"You mean oil in Saudi Arabia? As far as I know, oil was indeed excavated there, but the production was very low, only a fraction of the Romanian oil fields. "Because of his position, Keitel has been exposed to a lot of information in this area.

"Standard Oil is currently focusing on the exploitation of oil fields in the United States, and has not invested too much money in the development of overseas resources, and they have only explored a small area for Saudi oil." Xu Jun pulled out a map from the file box on the table, unfolded it, and handed it to Brauchitsch.

"Look at this area." Xu Jun pointed to the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

"It has the richest oil resources in the world, and according to my forecast, the total reserves are at least 100 billion barrels." Xu Jun used a red and blue pencil to mark the location of several large oil fields that would later become famous in the world.

"Hundreds of billions of barrels of oil?" Brauchitsch was once again taken aback by what Xu Jun had said, and the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the army had never been so wide.

"That's enough for us for a thousand years." The corners of Keitel's mouth trembled slightly.

"This is just a preliminary speculation, and in fact there may be more oil reserves there." Xu Jun smiled and opened the cigar box on the table.

"I always thought there was just sand." Brauchitsch's eyes were red as he looked at the circles on the map.

"My Führer, your decision is incomparably wise, this land and the resources below can only belong to the Third Reich." Keitel made a loud announcement.

"Keitel, there is no eternal empire in this world, and even if the Third Reich lasts for a thousand years, there will definitely be a day of decline." Xu Jun struck a match and lit a cigar.

"So in order to preserve this wealth, we have to build a strong and solid alliance of interests." The Reich Führer threw matches into the ashtray.
