Chapter 292: Libya's Secrets Exposed
Now, he and his friend George have come to Libya together, naturally to dig up news, but unfortunately, for his old friend George, this is not a good place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Endless desert, what is there to report? You can take a few beautiful photos, but what's the use?
This damn broken car! It's already the best car you can rent in a nearby city, but unfortunately, it broke down here!
Opening the bonnet, George looked at the smoking engine inside, and couldn't help but shake his head, this car, I don't know when, began to leak, and now, the engine is completely overheated.
"You have to find water and put it in the engine." George said.
Water! Before leaving, the two of them brought water with them, but it was too hot along the way, and soon the two of them drank all the water!
There is not even water for people to drink, where is there water for the engine?
"It seems that we have to use what we have learned about survival in the desert." Ernie is optimistic: "Let's find water from the desert!" ”
Not far away, a green plant can be seen, and according to Ernie's judgment, where there are plants, there must be water underneath!
Dig!
At the time of departure, considering that the car might be stuck in the desert, the two were carrying shovels, and seeing that George did not move, Ernie began to dig in the sand with his hands and feet.
Actually, Ernie has no experience, in the desert, it is best not to move anything, only to make the water in the body evaporate faster, if you want to move, then you have to talk about it at night!
And now, his shovel dug downward, and after only half a meter of digging, he saw something strange.
An iron pipe! This pipe is very thick, very thick, and Ernie knows that this kind of pipe is only used for one thing, which is to transport oil!
"George, we've discovered a big secret!" Ernie couldn't be more excited.
Here, there is actually an oil pipeline, what does that mean? There's definitely oil here, and it's abundant! Why else build an oil pipeline?
He immediately remembered that more than ten years ago, the Germans obtained the right to exploit oil in Libya from the Italians, and after that, there was no movement, some third-rate tabloids ridiculed the Germans, and then there was no news.
Who would have thought that the Germans would be so deep! They have long unearthed oil here, and even the oil pipeline has been laid, but they have been silent, and they would rather import oil from Romania at a high price than reveal the secrets here!
Out of the consciousness of a reporter, Ernie certainly knows what an earth-shattering news he has discovered, and he will also be a sensation all over the world because of this news!
So, throwing away the car, the two walked in the desert for a night, and the result came out smoothly! And Ernie, before returning to the newspaper office, released the news by telegram.
Then, the newspaper announced the news.
That's it.
The news leaked.
Is there anything wrong with the people inside Libya? No, they can't guard all the oil pipelines along the way, and now, they can only take good care of the oil well areas of several large oil fields, as well as their own secret bases.
If all the oil pipelines are taken care of, the number of personnel needed will be astronomical! With the strength of Germany, it simply cannot be done!
So, they are not wrong, and if they want to say that they are wrong, then say that God is wrong.
In short, the news that Libya has oil has been poked out, and it depends on how Germany picks up! And now, it's a tough choice.
If Germany wants to deny it, then it has to dismantle all the oil pipelines, bury all the oil wells, so that the reporters who follow up will not find anything, and then rebuke Ernie as a complete rumor-monger and a fabrication.
However, in that case, the cost would be too great, and how much did Germany secretly invest in Libya to make Libyan oil fields and pipelines ready for production at any time?
This oil pipeline alone took six years of construction in Germany! Now, dismantle them all? That's too big a loss, it's not worth it at all.
"It seems that we don't have to import oil from the USSR in large quantities." Cirek said with a wry smile: "The secret of Libyan oil cannot be maintained, and we can only extract it generously." ”
Now that the secret has been leaked, there is no other way, let's mine!
Anyway, World War II hasn't started yet! There is only the last section of the oil pipeline left, which can be connected to the coastline of Libya, and when the time comes, the oil fields here will be put into production, and they will be directly transported to the oil tankers over there, and they can be transported back to Germany, and Germany does not need to spend money on imports, and there is Libyan oil, which is enough for Germany!
However, this consequence is also quite serious, this was originally a big secret of Germany, which was used as a crude oil reserve when the war broke out in the future, and now that it has been exposed, there will be no secret to speak of.
On the other hand, the large-scale extraction of crude oil here would certainly have caused Mussolini to dislike. Mussolini accepted a bribe from his side to transfer the right to extract oil from Libya, but now? Can he not be tempted by the bubbling oil?
He must be in need of benefits, and feeding Mussolini is not easy!
Now, it has been 38 years, and the German war machine has become stronger, so to speak, it is impossible to see a situation like in the past when Italy sent troops to defend Austria, and the German army was quickly stopped.
In the Spanish Civil War, the German army showed far more combat effectiveness than Italy, if the two countries are deadlocked, Germany is not afraid of the threat of war from Italy, but, after all, Italy and its own allies! Moreover, Mussolini was also Hitler's revolutionary mentor.
Throughout his life, Hitler had great respect for Mussolini.
It can only be mined on a large scale, and it's no secret anyway! Hearing Ciric's words, Hitler nodded helplessly: "Yes, we can only extract Libyan oil, but, on the Italian side, how to explain?" ”
Of course, Hitler also knew that Mussolini had given the right to extract oil to himself very cheaply, and now he would definitely regret it.
"Then give them a portion." Ciric's mind was also very confused: "If it can be resolved through negotiation, we can solve it by negotiation, and at most we will share 30% of Italy's oil profits, which is enough for Italy." If Mussolini doesn't agree, then we have other options. We will not give up the mining rights, after all, we have mined them. ”
