Chapter 539: War, always comes inadvertently

PS: After the cold last month, the cough has not been good until now, the prescribed medicine has a sleep effect, and I want to sleep as soon as I eat it, so the update is not normal, please understand.

................................................................................................

In the year 2780, 19399, Europe was in a tense situation. The thick smell of gunpowder smoke is about to condense into a substance, which can be said to be "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it", as long as people with a little political sensitivity feel that the pace of war is approaching.

Despite Germany's moustache promises to keep the peace, Hitler assured British Chancellor Neville Chamberlain that this was the last claim of the German Reich in Europe, that the German people were peace-loving, and signed a memorandum. After the Soviet Union annexed Finland, under the mediation of Britain and France, Stalin promised that he would not have any thoughts about Sweden.

But everyone knows that the bearded and mustachioed guys are typical politicians, who talk like a fart, and it would be foolish to believe them. But what about Britain and France? It is impossible to have another preventive war for fear of a possible accident, right?

They had already done this once, but it turned out to be a table full of cutlery. Not to mention the death of a generation, he almost lost all the belongings accumulated for hundreds of years, and then caused the collapse of the colonial system, exhausted by the constant riots of colonial uprisings, and finally fell directly from the world champion and runner-up to the second echelon. The most important thing is that after paying such a huge and heavy price, but it did not have the expected effect, Erdezi is still alive and kicking, and it has intensified.

That's right, in fact, the cause of the First World War is not so simple, Wei Er, this guy is too funny, it's just one of the reasons, and it's still a very unimportant reason. Tracing back to the source, the essence of this war is a preventive war launched by the old British and French powers against Germany, an emerging power, otherwise Britain and France will launch a war for a monarchicide in Serbia, they are big hooligans not Lei Feng, let alone for any justice and justice, everything is just because the rise of Germany makes them feel threatened, and most importantly, Germany threatens the sea power that Britain relies on for hegemony, and also threatens the security of France. This did not require Germany to do anything, it was enough just that Britain and France thought so.

They just want to solve this threat once and for all through a preventive war, but the ideal is very full, and the reality is too skinny. The war they launched not only did not kill the hateful Erdezi, but was almost pushed back by Erdezi. In the end, not to mention the loss of the old capital, it also made China and the United States sit bigger, and also caused a revolution in Russia, giving birth to the outlier of the Soviet Union, and their competitors changed from one Germany to four countries.

Such a dismal result was difficult for Britain and France to accept, and it also made them regret it. "It would be nice if you didn't fight that war!" This sentence has become the consensus of most people in the two countries, so it is impossible for these two countries to brush the German copy again for the sake of being so unhappy, Nima, the last time the group brushed the book has already lost miserably, and the whole god costume has exploded, and you still go? Isn't that a brain disease? If you don't go, you won't go, you won't go to death!

Therefore, the bottom line of Britain and France now is that as long as Germany does not touch their own interests, they will never do it directly. This is the fundamental reason why Britain and France only sat idly by while the German-Austrian merger and the German annexation of Bohemia, and the Soviet Union's annexation of Finland remained the fundamental reason. They really didn't want to fight anymore, so they had to appease.

But there is a good saying, "what you are afraid of comes", or "the development of things does not depend on people's subjective will". There is also a saying that "people are harmless to the tiger's heart, and the tiger is harmful". Britain and France really don't want to fight, but they can't help but have people who want to fight, and some people want them to fight. In any case, the peace that Britain and France hoped for did not last long.

Berlin, Chancellery.

"What do you mean that Libya has discovered a big oil field?" the mustache glared at Mussolini with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, Adolf. The British and French discovered mega oil fields in the Siirt Basin in northern Libya. This oil field is probably the largest in the world, 200 billion barrels according to the most conservative estimates!" Mussolini said in an exaggerated tone.

"200 billion barrels?" the mustache gasped, and he only felt a nameless flame rise from the bottom of his heart, burning his whole body.

If there is one thing that Germany lacks most right now, it is undoubtedly oil. You know, the development of science and technology on the plane is more rapid, oil is not just as a fuel, lubricant and lamp oil, when China in the past few years after the invention of plastics, artificial rubber, chemical fiber and other petrochemical products, suddenly pushed the petrochemical industry to the peak.

In the emerging industry of petrochemicals, the Germans are not far behind, but have the most advanced technology outside of China, because of the emerging technology consortium of the sharp consortium. But because of this, their demand for oil is at least several times greater than that of the same period in the original plane.

Yes, the strategic environment of Germany on this plane is far better than that of the original plane, but oil is also lacking. Although Romania is already a member of the Allied bloc, Germany, Italy, and Poland all need oil, and Romania really doesn't have enough oil. Although the Soviet Union is willing to sell it to them, but there is White Russia on the plane, Azerbaijan has been taken back by Persia, Baku is gone, and most of the second Baku is gone, and the Soviet Union's oil is much less than the original time and space, and their own oil is more than used, but the export is less.

A few years ago, the Fengrui consortium developed offshore oil production technology and deep well oil production technology, and found several oil fields in Germany and offshore, but these oil fields are not large, and the reserves are also very limited. Those heavy ships are all oil tigers, and if they go out for training in the open sea, tens of thousands of tons of oil will be gone. Germany is not short of coal, and it is impossible to go back to burning coal after all these years.

Although Fengrui Group has also developed the technology of "coal to oil", the cost of this thing is relatively high, several times more expensive than natural oil. It's okay to use it as an emergency at the bottom of the box during the war, but if you rely on this in peacetime, it will be too expensive.

Moreover, Germany, as the boss of the Allied bloc, not only needs to use oil itself, but also supplies the needs of a little brother. And these little brothers and many monarchs are the brothers of His Majesty Wei San, which does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, even the mustache must be taken care of.

Hey, this boss is not easy to be.

At present, about 60 percent of the oil that Germany needs every year is imported from the People's Revolutionary Union, another 10 percent is imported from Spain, 15 percent is imported from the Soviet Union, and the remaining less than 15 percent is Germany itself and Romanian oil. In the world today, the People's Revolutionary Federation has several super-giant oil fields, accounting for more than 40 percent of the world's oil production, and the United States-led Western Treaty also has rich oil fields, accounting for about 40 percent of the world's total. However, Western Covenant is too far away from Germany and must be transported by tanker, which is relatively costly. The People's Revolutionary Union has direct oil pipelines to Germany and Italy, and the transportation cost is much lower.

Although it is said that the People's Revolutionary Union did not embargo oil on Germany, it was happy to export. But the mustache knows very well that the relationship between countries is very fragile, and there is nothing in Germany that is the exclusive production that the People's Revolutionary Federation says must be necessary, and if something happens in the future, the People's Revolutionary Union pinched the oil pipe, and Germany will be dumbfounded. Besides, importing oil also costs money, even if the oil price is not high at this time, but it can't support the large consumption.

So both from an economic point of view and from a strategic security point of view, the mustache is very eager to get a large oil field under his own control. But how easy is it to find a big oil field? The Allies have been busy up and down for so long, and they have only found a few small oil fields on their own territory that are better than nothing.

It is no secret that there is a diesel tree in China, and the fruit of this tree can be directly refined into diesel. But there is a problem, China has always only exported the refined oil extracted from this diesel tree, but refuses to sell this diesel tree, no one, not even the People's Revolutionary Federation.

Over the years, it is not that there have been no ideas of the great powers to fight diesel trees, but they have all failed shamefully. On the one hand, among all the top powers, only Germany is short of oil, and no other country is short of oil, so it is really impossible to offend the behemoth of China for such things that they do not lack. Therefore, although countries such as Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union are also interested in this and have quietly made some small moves, they have not invested much, and they all have the attitude that they can get the best and it doesn't matter if they can't get it.

China's counter-espionage capability is super-strong, and this has been recognized around the world. Besides, the difference between the appearance of Westerners and Orientals is too great, and what Western spies want to do in China will attract attention at any time. Naturally, the results of their practice in this way will not be great.

On the other hand, there is the problem of the diesel tree itself, in fact, the fruit of the diesel tree is very easy to get hold of, China does not strictly monitor this, and the diesel tree is originally a promoted crop in China, and it is available in many places, and it is too easy for spies to get some fruit back, and even buy it directly from the fruit farmers. But this thing is really very hateful, God knows what means the Chinese used, anyway, after they got the fruit of the diesel tree, they went back to cultivate, but found that it did not bud at all.

Later, they learned that the fruit of the diesel tree cannot sprout, and Chinese fruit farmers grow this thing directly from the government-designated place to buy ready-made saplings, rather than grow their own. Yes, the Chinese government does not monitor the fruit, but it still firmly controls the source of the saplings, which directly breaks the minds of most of them. It's easy to get a few fruits out, but it's hard to send a tree out, and it's useless if you don't have it.

After the other powers gave up, the Germans continued to work hard, and the German spies managed to get a batch of saplings with great effort, and then smuggled them out with great effort. For this, they did not hesitate to expose the main internal lines in China, as well as the transportation channels. But at such a cost, only more than 100 saplings were obtained, and because the Germans did not know that these saplings needed to be fertilized with fertilizer during the growth stage before they matured, most of the saplings they worked so hard to get back died one after another, and in the end less than 30 survived, and the growth was slow, not to mention, and Nima did not bear much fruit, and barely produced some pigeon-egg-sized things. Compared with the normally grown duck egg-sized fruit on the Chinese side, a group of German agronomists and botanists in charge of this matter were crying.

After tossing and turning like this a few times, the Germans were completely out of mind, and the mustache was depressed for a long time. God knows how the Chinese did it, and actually made such a perverted crop, Nima still recognizes people.

However, there is now a turnaround. In Libya, on the other side of the Mediterranean, a large oil field was found, and it is no wonder that the mustache is so excited.

Of course, intelligence from the Italian side alone was not enough, and it was not enough to make up his mind. Immediately after sending Mussolini away, he ordered the German intelligence services to quickly confirm the incident.

........................................................................

Everyone knows that among all the top powers of the original plane, the performance of the German intelligence system has always been funny. On the one hand, there is the national identity of the Germans, who are too rigid. For example, a German scholar once complained that the German people would not carry out guerrilla warfare, and if a few German partisans decided to blow up the train, they would probably cancel the operation because they could not buy platform tickets. A nation that is not even good at guerrilla warfare will have a ghost if it can do a good job in intelligence work. On the other hand, they have a pig boss - Admiral Canalis, not that this guy is stupid, but because this guy is a pro-Western non-national (for Germany). He didn't want to work for the mustache at all, so naturally he wouldn't work hard.

However, on this plane, Canalis, a two-and-five-boy who has long been arched out, of course, he hasn't had time to do anything at this time, but he was also ordered to retire by the mustache and was driven home to gnaw old corn. He was succeeded by an Air Force Major General named Messerschmidt, an obscure man who was Mustache's trusted confidant who followed Mustache before the Nazis came to power. After he came to power, Germany's intelligence work improved greatly, and after the mustache came to power, he was quickly promoted.

This time, for example, Germany's intelligence services showed a rare level of efficiency. A few days later, Messerschmidt sent two pieces of information to Mustache's desk.

"What? There's a big oil field in the North Sea?" asked the mustache in disbelief. The intelligence of the Libyan oil fields has been confirmed, and the buy one get one free has been set up with information on the North Sea oil fields. This North Sea oil field is said to have more reserves than Libya's!

"Yes, Leader. Several oil companies, such as Mobil and Shell, are already ready to exploit. This information is something we got from them inside, and it's very reliable!" Messerschmidt was a middle-aged man with a public face, a typical Germanic look.

"Well, I see, you've worked hard. ”

After Messerschmidt took his leave, the mustache was so excited that he walked back and forth several times. He walked over to the world map, looked at the two locations, and thought about what to do. There is no doubt that the Libyan oil fields are Anglo-French, but this side of the North Sea is different. This Nima is on the high seas! Of course, the British would not think so. In other words, if the Germans want to get this big oil field, they must get the British, otherwise the British will never spit it out, although the British are not short of oil now, but who in the world will be afraid of more money?

In the afternoon of the same day, the senior generals of the three German armies were called to a meeting by Mustache.
