The Third Reich: I seized power

“From now on, the Empire will begin to secretly build up a national strategic reserve. The relevant cabinet agencies, the military and the intelligence services, must start secretly purchasing relevant materials. The priority is rubber, non-ferrous metals, oil and grain! Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Everyone answered.

“In this process, it is necessary to maintain as much confidentiality as possible. Once our enemies know about it, they will definitely do everything possible to obstruct us. If nothing else, mere price gouging is enough to damage our plans. Hess reminded.

In another time and space, in order to prevent the Third Reich from obtaining oil from Romenia, the Gallic Kingdom and the Sun Never Set Empire not only warned it not to sell oil to the Third Reich, but even directly bought out the oil reserves of Romenia at a high price.

They were relatively well-funded, and they were even richer than the Third Reich.

All the high-ranking officials nodded repeatedly, they were very aware of their disadvantages.

“Your Excellency, is rubber and non-ferrous metals a priority ahead of oil?” Admiral Bromberg has doubts.

After all, tanks, planes, trucks, armored divisions and warships now consume oil. Together with civilian vehicles, the annual consumption of oil will be measured in millions of tons.

“Rubber and non-ferrous metals are more difficult for us to obtain than oil. We have sent experts to Libia to start exploring for oil there. Not surprisingly, it was a quick success. At that time, oil can be extracted from Libia. Even because of the war, it may not be possible to bring oil back home for a long time. But before the war broke out, it was enough for us to bring back a large amount of oil.

In addition, we can buy oil from the Hairy Bear Alliance. Oil has become the flagship product of the Mao Bear Alliance’s exports. They desperately need our machinery. We can exchange machinery for oil with hairy bears. In addition to this, we can also get a lot of oil from Romenia. Romenia’s oil production capacity is far from being released. If we can invest in it and demand that Romenia expand its oil production capacity, it will be enough to get millions of tons or more of oil every year. ”

Hess explained.

Regarding these problems, Hess has already considered and thought of ways to deal with them.

“Your Excellency, will Romenia cooperate with us? In the last world war, they were our enemies. Moreover, large territories were obtained from the war. Admiral Bromberg said.

Hess nodded, in the last world war, Romenia was an enemy of the Second Empire. After the end of the war, as a victorious power, he participated in the partition of Austria-Hungary and gained a large part of the territory. He even cut off a piece of fat from the collapsed Mao Bear Empire, doubling the size of the country in one fell swoop.

This time, if you want to make Romenia fall to the Third Reich, it is naturally very difficult.

“Find ways to expand our influence in Romenia and prop our people to power. If that doesn’t work, send troops to attack. At that time, everything will not be a problem! Hess said.

Although Romenia now has a population of 18 million, it is not a weak medium-sized country.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the attack of the Third Reich.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Admiral Bromberg replied.

A direct military invasion is undoubtedly a very simple and crude but very effective method.

“In addition, the oil of the Third Reich itself will also begin to be secretly extracted.” We don’t have much oil on our home market. However, if it is mined, it is also quite a lot. For example, in Bazhou, southern Berlin, the north coast, Lower Saxony, etc., there is oil. It’s just that the buried is relatively deep, and the cost of mining is relatively large. However, in order to win the war, even the most expensive it is, it is necessary to extract that oil. “Hess is resolute.

The oil reserves of the Third Reich itself, although not much, still have five or six billion tons.

It’s just that it’s buried deeper.

With the existing scientific and technological strength and technology, although it cannot be exploited in large quantities, if you increase investment, it is still no problem to mine two million tons per year.

Although this output is far from enough to consume.

But it is undoubtedly a powerful addition.

At the very least, the oil is much better than synthetic fuel.

If he could, Hess did not want the Third Reich to once again use synthetic fuel for tanks on the front line, which would greatly weaken the performance of tanks and even affect their service life.

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Everyone answered.

Since there is oil in the country, even if the cost of extraction is large, it is very necessary in wartime.

Through a variety of other means, the future oil consumption of the Third Reich should be guaranteed, and there will not be too big a gap.
