While Hitler was asking, his mind was constantly thinking, what could this mysterious Oriental man bring him?

"Honorable Führer, Germany is a land of heaven, where there are the best peoples in the world, the most rigorous workers, the most intelligent scientists, the most warlike soldiers, and countless resources, whether coal or iron, Germany is inexhaustible, but it is a pity." Jiang Cheng looked at Hitler with a smile.

"What a pity?" Hitler asked.

"Unfortunately, Germany seems to lack the most important resources, such as rare metals, rubber, and oil." Jiang Cheng said and pointed to the model of the tank on Hitler's desk, which Jiang Cheng had given him last time, and Hitler had kept it on the table to remind himself of how strong Germany's opponents were.

Oil has always been Germany's pain, in modern wars, oil is the food of the army, without oil, whether it is an airplane, or a tank, or a warship can not be started, these steel monsters are oil tigers, a tank in a war down to drink hundreds of thousands of liters of oil and play, as for the battleship is no longer an oil tiger, that is called a bottomless pit, think about the United States stored 4.5 million barrels of oil in Pearl Harbor to know how much oil the navy this military branch has.

However, Germany is a notoriously oil-poor country, not that Germany really has no oil, the oil resources in northern Germany are actually very rich, and later Germany has a total of 44 large-scale oil fields, with more than 560 million tons of oil buried deep underground. Unfortunately, German oil was buried too deep compared to oil from other countries, and in 1937 most of the oil fields were not discovered, but in later generations, Lower Saxony in northern Germany produced 1.2 million tons of oil per year, and Schleswig-Holstein produced about 2.2 million tons of oil per year. It's just that because the extraction price is too high, the proportion of oil production in Germany has declined rapidly, and it is time for Jiang Cheng to cross. More than 90% of German oil is already imported. At this time, the total domestic oil production in Germany did not exceed 500,000 tons, and oil imports from Romania became the most important source of German oil.

In order to control Romania economically, the German chemical company Farben Chemical Company bought 17 million marks worth of grain from Romania and supplied 13.6 million marks of industrial products, and the trade volume soared from 1,096,000 marks in 1934 to 300 million marks in 1937. In exchange, Germany demanded that Romania increase its oil exports to Germany and offered to compensate for the cost of oil with armaments. The following year, Germany also provided Romania with a loan of 250 million marks for the purchase of German arms. In accordance with the German initiative, the two countries also established the Droz United Company, which is mainly engaged in oil business.

Of course. Britain and France also saw this, and the British and French envoys were also constantly lobbying the Romanian government, and everyone could see that Britain and France were strong and Germany was weak, but Germany was close to Romania, so Romania could only be offended on both sides, and only said that whoever would buy would sell to whom, although Germany was developing rapidly in the economy, but compared with money. It is not comparable to Britain and France.

Hitler also knew in his heart that oil was the weakest link in his plan, and the oil in Rome was not reliable, but without oil fields, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so Hitler had to find another way. Vigorously develop coal-to-oil technology, from 34 to the end of 37, there have been more than ten coal-to-oil plants in Germany, with an annual output of more than one million tons. And it is still increasing production.

According to the plan made by Hitler and his generals, by the end of 39 years, there will be 17 coal-fired oil plants in Germany. Production would exceed 2 million tons, and Germany would need more than 5 million tons of oil to end the war as quickly as planned. This is also the main reason why Germany has been using blitzkrieg since then, and it has been forced out.

"Do you have a lot of oil?" Hitler couldn't believe it and said, what is the situation in China, it is a country that is even poorer than Germany, is there a huge amount of oil there?

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't have a lot of oil, but our Weihua company has explored some oil fields, and we hope to develop them together with Germany and Italy." ”

The sooner Germany starts the war, the more unfavorable it will be to China at this time and in the future, World War II is the last chance to divide the world's sphere of influence, once history has not changed greatly, a large number of China's interests will still be abandoned by the Big Three, such a thing is not willing to see Jiang Cheng and Chairman Mao, and to change this matter must be China has enough strength, Jiang Cheng to bring a lot of time to China, Then prolonging the time of the war in Europe and shortening the time of the War of Resistance against Japan became the most important thing in strategy.

"Italy? Is this also about Italy? Where exactly is the oil field? Hitler was like a passer-by in the desert who saw a sweet spring, and his whole eyes lit up.

Jiang Cheng pointed to the map and said, "Here, Italy's colony - Libya." ”

Hitler's eyes remained motionless as he looked at the desert in northern Africa and said in disbelief, "Just this place where there is nothing but sand?" Is there oil here? ”

Jiang Cheng nodded hard at Libya and said, "There is excellent quality oil here, Führer, please believe in the strength of our Weihua." ”

Hitler touched his chin and said suspiciously, "Why don't you develop these oil fields yourself, but ask us Germany and Italy to develop them, doesn't this greatly reduce your profits?" You businessmen still make loss-making trades? ”

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "If I were a Jew, I would definitely squeeze out the last copper plate of this oil field, and I would never share the profits with anyone, but, my Führer, why are there people who do business all over the world, but only Jews are hated by the whole world?" ”

Jiang Cheng didn't wait for Hitler to speak, he slammed the table hard and said, "Greed, it's all greed, there is the original sin of greed among the seven deadly sins, and the Jews who betrayed God have forgotten how terrible this original sin is, just like their ancestors, when the German people were in the most difficult time, these Jews only cared about earning the last copper plate in the pockets of the German people and forgot that they were also Germans in nationality and should help this country." ”

Hitler nodded his head in this call, and this is exactly the theory that Hitler kept promoting.

Jiang Cheng smiled and continued: "I am not a Jew, the Chinese have a tradition of valuing righteousness over wealth since ancient times, and at the critical moment when my country is being invaded by invaders, my Führer, if Germany is being invaded by the Soviet Union. You have a lot of money, are you going to continue to make money or are you ready to contribute your last copper plate to your country? ”

Hitler immediately swung his fist and said, "Whoever dares to invade Germany, I will kick him off the backbone, Jiang, you mean that you are doing this for China?" Do you want Germany to help China? I have to say that I am sorry, we in Germany have done our best, but Japan is not a vassal of Germany, and we have no power to prevent a war between China and Japan. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Germany needs allies in the East in order to contain the Soviet Union, this is something that the whole world knows, and the only big powers in the East are China and Japan." So who will Germany choose? After that, Jiang Cheng looked at Hitler.

Hitler said without blinking his eyes: "It is self-evident that we Germany have always been friends of the Chinese." ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Führer, I don't represent the country, so the words of the two of us are completely private, China's national strength is weak, it is difficult to defeat Japan, this is something that everyone knows, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, if Germany chooses Japan." The Chinese people are also understandable. ”

Hitler was a little embarrassed when he heard Jiang Cheng say it to this point.

Jiang Cheng continued: "As an admirer of Nazism, my Führer, I have to make a proposal. There is an old Chinese saying that if you leave a line in everything, you will see each other in the future, and there is no conflict between China and Germany, and even if Germany chooses Japan as an ally in the future, there is no need to target China. ”

Hitler was already almost stunned by Jiang Cheng. When he heard it, he still didn't understand why Jiang Cheng wanted to share the oil fields with Germany and Italy.

Hitler frowned and said, "We will not give up on our Chinese friends, and what you are worried about will never happen." ”

Jiang Cheng ignored Hitler's nonsense and continued: "What is the most important thing in a country? Germany was also defeated, but soon recovered under your Führer. I think the most important thing to rely on is two, one is the Nazi spirit, and the second is the talent base of Germany. ”

Hitler's brows furrowed slightly, he already knew what Jiang Cheng wanted.

Jiang Cheng said, "Our Weihua's requirements are very simple, we hope that Germany can give Chinese students and workers in Germany the opportunity to work and study in the German industrial sector, we Weihua believes that even if China is defeated, as long as we have these valuable talents, China can quickly stand up again." ”

Hitler fell into deep thought, entering the German industrial sector to work and study is a more sensitive matter than entering a German university, school is always to learn theoretical knowledge, and the skilled workers in the factory are the most important things in the development of the industrial system, especially the senior workers, it can be said to be polite, the most valuable thing in a factory is the handful of senior workers.

This is also common in later generations, a senior technician is a factory no matter where it is the backbone of a factory, and there are many machinery and equipment that must be manually polished, there are countless German workers' jokes on the Internet in later generations, although there are many exaggerations, but you can also see the importance of senior workers to an industrial country and the shortage of skilled workers in China in later generations.

Hitler said slowly: "How much oil does Libya produce?" ”

Jiang Cheng estimated and said, "If we go all out to develop, I can guarantee that the output will reach two million tons one year after it is put into production, and four million tons after two years, and our exploration team estimates that more oil fields can be discovered, and it is not difficult to say that tens of millions of tons will be available at that time." ”

Four million tons, this amount is enough to make Hitler crazy, that is, half to Italy, Germany can also get two million tons, this is the amount that the entire coal-fired oil plant can reach, if it really reaches tens of millions of tons in the mouth of this Oriental, his own chariot will no longer have to worry about running out of oil to drink.

Historically, Germany's highest annual production of coal-fired oil and seized oil was only 15 million tons, while the second-highest production had dropped to just 10 million tons.

Hitler stared at Jiang Cheng and said, "Jiang, you have successfully convinced me, say all your demands." ”

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "Except for the departments that your country thinks are the most secret, other departments allow our Chinese students and workers to enter the study and work, which must have the German military industry, of course, we can ask for very low wages, or even not, after all, we are here to study, and we are allowed to return to their homeland when we feel it is appropriate." At the same time, Weihua was allowed to purchase German weapons, ammunition and mechanical equipment. Of course, we'll pay in cash. As for the developed oil fields, we, Weihua Company, will have half of the shares. Of course, if the oil production does not meet the promise I made to the Führer, or if there is no oil production, all the expenses will be borne by Weihua. ”

Hitler had his own calculations in mind, and if what Jiang said was true, then the oil problem in Germany would be basically solved, and these workers and students wanted to exert their strength. A lot of machinery and equipment is also needed, which China does not have. Even if he returned to China, it would not have any effect on Germany, not to mention that Hitler was still more optimistic about the outcome of the Sino-Japanese war. Although he hopes to create a Germany with only Germanic peoples, second-class citizens can also be allowed, after all, the Chinese are still much better than Jews and blacks, aren't they?

Hitler calculated, "Well, when the first oil well in Libya blows oil, then it will be time for my Chinese friends to enter our German factory." As for weapons. We, the German people, have always been good friends of the Chinese people, and except for some weapons that easily threaten Germany's national interests, Weihua can purchase the others on our own. But I still don't understand. Jiang, what are the benefits of this for your Weihua company? ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "My Führer, think about it, these students and workers will sign a 20-year contract with our Weihua. When a country's skilled workers and professionals are basically in the hands of a single company, how much profit will we make? Führer, what we care about is the future. ”

Hitler rolled his eyes. This is the most greedy person, this person wants the entire economic artery of China in the future, and he immediately believed Jiang Cheng's words, after all, if everything is really the same as Jiang Cheng said, Weihua can control most of China's factories and enterprises in the future, well, if China has not been completely occupied by Japan at that time.

After Jiang Cheng and Hitler reached a basic agreement, they began to talk about other things, the specific things of the contract will be responsible for the following people, Jiang Cheng talked about the love of European art in his words, and asked Germany if there were any requirements for the purchase of these things, Hitler said indifferently, "The existence of art is to let more people appreciate, well, so let's give you a painting of mine, to show the deep friendship between us." ”

Hitler is not only an excellent politician, but also a good painter, Jiang Cheng sighed with the landscape painting that Hitler gave him, at least, Jiang Cheng can see what this painting is, well, Jiang Cheng's artistic appreciation is limited to this.

"Boss, is there really a lot of oil in Africa?" Chen Nan still said in disbelief, because although Jiang Cheng could understand German through Gallagher, he could not speak fluently, and Chen Nan was present during the whole process.

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "There are many, Chen Nan, I will send a report to the United States, set up an oil company over there, and gather manpower, Hitler wants to discuss this matter with Mussolini, it will take about a month at the earliest, I will give you a map, you buy it in the name of the Italians first, those places are deserts, it will not be very expensive, if the money is not enough for a while, go to the loan, I believe that there are many banks that dream of giving us loans, and finally start to buy European antiques and artworks, the more the better, the sooner the better, Don't pursue precious, more quantity and better selling is the king. All this work has to be completed within a month, is there a problem? ”

What kind of antique is good to sell is actually exquisite, your painting of Picasso may indeed be very valuable, worth hundreds of millions, but it is too difficult to sell, there will be many people staring after the shot, but it is ordinary antique furniture, although a piece can only be sold for seventy or eighty thousand dollars, but it is easy to sell, hang out, sell it on the same day, no one has come to check. After all, for Jiang Cheng, safety is the most important thing.

Chen Nan was almost overwhelmed by this series of orders, but at this time, he said that there was a problem, it was purely because he didn't want to do it, Chen Nan immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I promise to complete the task." ”

Jiang Cheng continued, "Also, the Chinese over there in Nanyang, you should also contact them this time, and strive to meet with their high-level leaders, Nanyang is the most powerful place for our Chinese, and we can't give up." ”

Chen Nan nodded in understanding.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and continued, "Pay attention to the Chinese, see if there are any capable people in management, it is best not to have any political colors, we are abroad, or be careful in everything." ”

When Chen Nan heard this, he hurriedly said, "I really have a suitable person here, who can be responsible for the African affairs that the owner said." ”

Jiang Cheng listened and said with interest: "Tell me." ”

Chen Nan replied, "This is a Chinese who has joined the British nationality, his ancestors have settled in the UK since the year of Tongzhi, he is studying geology, he is 36 years old this year, because he is a yellow race, so he has not been able to enter the top of the British BP oil company, but there is no problem in ability, I think I can try him this time." However, I only met him at a Chinese party, and I didn't know much about him. ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "It's him, pull it up first and take a look, oil exploitation is a professional and technical job, or a professional still needs to come, but to find out his background, especially whether he has anything to do with the British intelligence agencies, I don't want to have one more eye around me."
