Historically, Germany was stuck in the neck of Germany with this oil, and since oil had become the key to victory or defeat in the war, Hitler had to let his army advance along the oil veins and abandon the more strategic route of march. One of Hitler's considerations in the "Barbarossa" plan for the blitzkrieg attack on the Soviet Union was to ensure that the Romanian oil fields were always out of the strike range of the Soviet Air Force.

The Germans besieged Moscow for several days, but ultimately failed to capture the city, mainly because Hitler changed his decision to transfer the main armored forces of Army Group Center in the center near Moscow to the southern front to support the German forces there. The ministry "before the arrival of winter, the most important goal...... is to cut off the oil supply lines of the Caucasus to the Russians". You know, the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union is the largest oil producer in Europe, and the Baku oil field alone is equivalent to two and a half times the oil production of the Axis countries.

The outbreak and eventual defeat of the Battle of Stalingrad was also related to Hitler's judgment and decision on energy supply. Stalingrad was located on the Volga River and was the hub of the Soviet army's wartime transportation between the north and the south. The Germans launched the Battle of Stalingrad in the hope of cutting off the Soviet oil supply from the Caucasus and seizing the Caucasus oil fields for their own use. Germany's rash launch of the Battle of Stalingrad was the result of the fuel crisis.

Hitler once said to General Paulus, commander of the 6th Army: "If I can't get oil from Mykop and Grozny, then I must end this war." "The defeat at Stalin deprived the Germans of the last possible way to get the energy to keep the war machine running. Since then, its front has been shrinking. And gradually go into the defense until complete defeat.

Germany faced the same dilemma after Li Mo's crossing, Li Mo from the German Minister of Equipment, let the German National Petroleum Strategic Reserve Bureau vigorously increase oil reserves, because of British and French restrictions and other factors, Germany's total oil reserves of 5 million tons, can only meet the needs of Germany for half a year of all-out war, you must know that the German civilian and military oil consumption in 1940 is 20 million tons.

The seized oil had to be used to satisfy the civilian oil of the occupied territory, and there was no profit from this. In order to solve the oil crisis in Germany, Limer has already planned it. Pressure must be put on Romania. Isn't he a neutral country? Well, immediately expel the Polish government and the remnants of the defeated army, and supply Germany with oil. It could not be less than three million tons per year, and historically Romania supplied Germany with 2.4 million tons of oil per year. Again, these oil productions are not enough to meet Germany's annual oil consumption of 20 million tons. So Germany had to occupy bigger oil fields.

As for the cost of paying for oil. It is the light and heavy weapons of the Czech Republic and Poland that have been captured, and the light and heavy weapons of these two countries are still very advanced, and this is a trade without capital. Li Mo believed that the Wehrmacht hypocrites would definitely do it, and that the German top brass would definitely come up with a high-sounding reason for this kind of extortion, because Germany was just that virtuous, and imperialism was the same thing.

When Limer returned to Berlin, he immediately went to see the Führer that the overall situation of the Polish campaign had been decided, which made Hitler very happy, the consumption was not large, and the capture was still very rich.

When Hitler asked Li Mo how to deal with the seizure, Li Mo could only truthfully report his plans to Hitler, and Li Mo did not hide a drop of the oil that Hitler valued most.

The 1.5 million tons of oil seized were immediately transferred to the German National Reserve. As for the other seizures, Hitler did not attach much importance to them. Hitler didn't ask what kind of policy Li Mo implemented in Warsaw, which means that you kid can toss as much as you want, and Hitler's trust and spoiling of Li Mo has reached the point of no return.

Even the residence of the Polish governor Frank is no longer Warsaw City, but has been changed to Poznan, the capital city of Poland between Berlin and Warsaw, which is of course more popular with Li Mo, as long as it is very likely that Poland will not be out of control, Li Mo will not deal with Frank, if it is likely that he will find death, don't blame Li Mo for being ruthless.

……

When Limer entered the conference hall of the German Ministry of Defense, the senior generals of the Wehrmacht had already arrived. Li Mo was also invited to attend this meeting, and the meeting was mainly on the issue of the expansion of the SS. This meeting was an internal meeting of the Wehrmacht, and Himmler, the general leader of the SS, did not attend, and even if Himmler wanted to participate, he could not, because he was blown "chrysanthemum" by Brauchitsch.

The Wehrmacht means that the SS wants to expand, that is, Poland produces weapons, and this can only be solved by Li Mo, and others really can't solve it, otherwise Li Mo is really not qualified to come to this meeting.

Keitel, as the host, was still the first to speak, and Caitlin, who was sitting on the podium, cleared his throat and began to speak:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Polish campaign, the Wehrmacht has fought valiantly and made great sacrifices, but they have faithfully carried out the strategic plan drawn up by the Führer, brilliantly fulfilled their combat missions, and the Wehrmacht has achieved brilliant results, killing and capturing more than a million Poland, such a victory is enormous.

But the SS also wanted to do their part for Germany, so they put forward a request to form an Waffen-SS, and the Führer also approved it, and the Wehrmacht meant that the SS could be expanded, and it could only produce weapons and equipment in Poland, and could not crowd out the weapons and equipment in Germany itself, and everyone should discuss it now to see how to deal with it.

I suggest that the German army be represented by Ondet! The SS will be represented by the Commander-in-Chief Himmler, and the two of you will discuss it first and see if you can come up with a reasonable plan. ”

Keitel's meaning is very clear, that is, you Li Mo must come up with enough benefits to appease the SS, and Li Mo is here for this matter today.

Himmler is known as the "fighting chicken of roosters", and messing around like him will not solve the problem. The national character of the Germans is like a bitch in the green building, if you fan her, how can she definitely pay you enough money to redeem herself, Li Mo can be regarded as having figured out the temper of the Germans, and of course he will not regret Himmler now.

Li Mo stood up with a smile on his face and began to express his opinion:

"Respected marshals and generals, in this campaign against Poland, the Wehrmacht fought tenaciously, the military quality was superb, the sword pointed out, invincible, the Wehrmacht swept through the eastern region of Poland like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, this is inseparable from the hard work of the Wehrmacht, so on behalf of all the commanders and fighters of the 15th Mechanized Corps, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to other German units, you are well-deserved heroes of Germany, and the honor belongs to all the German Wehrmacht exhibitors."

"Hey! Hitler...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang bang ......"

Well, Li Mo first praised the Wehrmacht, and then the atmosphere in the entire conference hall of the Ministry of Defense was much more harmonious, at least everyone accepted Li Mo's statement, "The honor belongs to the German Wehrmacht." ”
