The Third Reich: I seized power

“Your Excellency, do we really want to ally with the Kingdom of Caesar? Their performance in the last war was very bad. Not only did they betray us, but the combat effectiveness of their army was also very rubbish. There is even an argument that to defeat the Kingdom of Caesar, only five divisions are needed. But to assist them, at least twenty divisions are needed! “Defense Minister General General General Bromberg is somewhat worried.

Hess nodded.

Indeed, the fighting power of the army of the Kingdom of Caesar was worrying.

In another time and space of World War II, their army was strange. Even if it has a huge superiority in troops, it is beaten by the Sun Never Sets Empire in North Africa.

Had it not been for the arrival of Rommel’s Afrika Korps, they would have been taken out long ago.

It is a pity that Rommel although he is very capable. The Afrika Korps are also very powerful.

However, because the Third Reich was tight, it was simply impossible to provide enough troops for the Afrika Korps. In addition, the logistical supply was very difficult, because of some strategic errors, it was not able to destroy the base of the Sun Never Set Empire in the Mediterranean, so that the Sun Never Set Empire could send aircraft and warships to attack the Afrika Korps supply line.

With no logistical supplies and an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, the Afrika Korps eventually collapsed in the north.

In this time and space, Hess wants to avoid all this.

“The combat effectiveness of the Caesar Kingdom is indeed not very good. However, their location matters. They are on our side and can ensure that we have a reliable base in the Mediterranean direction. What’s more, the strength of the navy and air force of the Caesar Kingdom is still good. If we can strengthen our cooperation with them, we will increase our influence on the navy and air force of the Caesar Kingdom. Perhaps in the future war, there will be different changes. Hess said.

Admiral Bromberg remained skeptical.

“There is another very important reason. That’s Libia’s oil, and we have to get it. Hess continued.

“Your Excellency, does Libia really have oil?” Admiral Bromberg asked.

“Of course, not only that, but the reserves are huge. Our experts predict that there are at least five billion tons of oil there! Hess said.

“What? Five billion tons? This…… My God! We are 65% owned by the Power Bia Petroleum Development Company. Does that mean that we have more than three billion tons of oil there? Your Excellency, we have to develop the oil there and bring it back. That way, we won’t have to worry about oil anymore! Admiral Bromberg’s attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Almost all generals know that oil is a very important strategic resource.

It was also the biggest bottleneck of the Third Reich.

The Third Reich had the most advanced aircraft and tanks in the world, as well as a large number of armored vehicles and trucks, and so on.

But these weapons and equipment need oil to be driven.

Without oil, this equipment cannot be started, and it will all be a useless pile of scrap iron.

If oil could be extracted from Libia, then the Third Reich would have enough oil.

“There is a lot of oil in Libia, and it is not difficult to extract it. However, it is relatively difficult to safely return to China. Therefore, we must maintain a strong military force in Libia in the future, even sweeping across North Africa. Hess said.

Admiral Bromberg nodded repeatedly, even for the oil of Libia, the Third Reich must do its best to fight a war there.

“Your Excellency, once we found oil in Libia and extracted it. The sun never sets, the empire and the Gauls will definitely try in every possible way to destroy our oil fields. It’s always easier to destroy than to build. We have to think about how to protect those oil fields. Admiral Bromberg said.

Hess nodded: “It’s natural. So, once we got the oil out of Libea. Then, it is necessary to set up a strong defensive force there. Not only air defense, but also a large number of fighters must be deployed. Even part of the ground forces are stationed. ”

Fortunately, the Sylte Basin is not small and almost deserted.

It is not so easy to find the exact location of the oil fields of the Third Reich in the yellow sand.

Coupled with the fact that the Third Reich can deploy air search radars here and station a large number of air force fighters, it should be able to ensure the safety of oil fields.

As long as there is a steady flow of oil from Libya, this is the victory of the Third Reich.

Hess even hopes to be able to get oil from Libyan oil fields within a year, or at most two years.

First transport a part of the oil back, and reserve it there. Even if the oil field was attacked by the enemy and destroyed. The Third Reich also had enough oil resources to survive the reconstruction of the oil fields.

In this case, the role of the Caesar Kingdom is great, and they need to act as cannon fodder to attack the territory of the Sun Never Set Empire in North Africa and buy enough time for the Third Reich to mobilize troops.
