Chapter 830: Old routine

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Germany is using strategic reserves of oil, and it is much more than the industrial raw materials such as petroleum that have been in demand in the same period in history. This is an inevitable result of the expansion of domestic production capacity and the improvement of the modernization of the military. Tanks, cars, planes, battleships, and submarines are all major oil users, and the number of these equipments is several times greater than that of another time and space.
"The coal-to-oil project is expanding. In addition to providing some crude oil of lesser quality, it can also supply the production of napalm bombs." Another general in charge of logistics said to Akado: "Bio-refined oil is also being Instead of a part of industrial oil, we are trying to improve our energy environment. "
Looking at the full picture of the Third Reich behind Lundstadt, Akado asked slowly: "So, what is the return on our oil investment in Libya?"
"My head of state, the infrastructure environment in Libya is really bad. Now the capacity of oil extraction cannot meet the demand. We can only use the oil there to supplement the military operations of Marshal Rommel in Egypt. As for transportation to the country, It also depends on the extent to which the expansion of production capacity can follow. "
After all, Libya is Italy ’s traditional sphere of influence. Some of the oil produced there belongs to Italy and needs to be sent back to Italy for subscribing to the navy. The other part of the oil supplies are all shipped to Rommel because of the desire to accumulate an attack on the Middle East , Requires a large amount of petroleum supplies.
The oil development in the Middle East, because it was in peacetime, was jointly invested by several superpowers around the world, so the progress is very fast, and within a few years it has become one of the world ’s major oil producing regions. Libya, as a private owner of Germany and Italy, started construction and exploitation after the war, so one year later, the oil production capacity still did not meet the expectations of both parties.
Although this oil field eased the pressure on North African transportation, saved a lot of consumption for the Germans, and also made a few British submarines hunting in the Mediterranean a lot less prey, but still unable to meet the increasing demand for German oil. As for the Beihai oil field, Akado is now embracing the rhythm of Baoshan starving to death, knowing that there is oil there, but unable to extract it.
As a futuristic person, Akado knows where Germany ’s weakness is as an industrial country. He knows that Germany lacked equipment such as tanks that were produced during the war, and he also knew that Germany was eventually missed by the oil shortage at the end of the story. A lot of opportunities.
Therefore, he was so exhausted to integrate German industrial production capacity, and he used his own way to change the German industrial design method, so that Germany has born a lot of weapons that are easy to produce and have excellent quality. But this innovation also plunged Germany into a vicious circle.
German tanks and other heavy weapons and equipment are too advanced, resulting in less losses during combat, plus excellent performance, and low failure rate. These heavy weapons and equipment survived in a brutal battlefield environment, so much so that German tanks The number of ownership has surged.
In fact, due to the advance and high efficiency of the design, the compatibility considerations in Germany have so far led to almost zero waste due to unclear development. Take the armor of the German armored forces as an example: most of the No. 2 tanks originally deployed in Germany have been sent to allies or converted into self-anti-tank guns. The improved chassis of No. 2 tanks, which are still in small production, are mainly used for paratroopers as combat vehicles use.
The No. 3 tank has also been discontinued, but its chassis has been produced as a carrier for self-propelled artillery and assault guns, and there are even signs of expansion; Leopard tanks have also served as the backbone of the German armored forces because of their successful design. Improved into a large number of armored vehicles including self-propelled artillery and assault guns.
The Tiger tank, as a fist of the German armored forces, surpassed the world's tanks and became an unmatched super weapon in the hands of the Germans. It can be seen that since the production of the first tank in Germany, production capacity has never been wasted, and what it produces is useful.
In addition, since the No. 3 tank, German tanks are known for their low failure rate and excellent reliability. Therefore, German tanks have come all the way. Except for tanks destroyed by the enemy, there are few scrapped tanks, so the number of front-line tanks is maintained. It can be described in horror.
With such a huge number of tanks, Akado's troops were invincible, and finally they didn't have to worry about being submerged by the terrible tank sea of ​​the Soviet Union. However, the most direct cost of doing so is that the consumption of oil resources is equally terrifying.
It is not that Akado did not work hard. He threw out the Middle East oil killer in peacetime and promoted the exploitation of Middle East oil resources. It is for this reason that he secretly accumulated a large amount of crude oil reserves. Once the crude oil amounted to 5 million tons, his oil accumulation plan was quite supported by the generals of the National Defense Army at that time.
Subsequent flash strikes against Poland and France have won incredible victories, and Germany's oil reserves have risen without falling, reaching the most exaggerated 11 million tons in history. The rapid defeat in France allowed the Germans not only to harvest foreign exchange reserves such as gold, but also a large number of industrial facilities, as well as unimaginable strategic resources.
Relying on these strategic resources, the Battle of the English Channel was successfully launched, the German strategic plan to invade the United Kingdom was implemented, and Germany completed the construction of the "Extreme Atlantic Barrier", so that the possibility of its own two-line combat ceased to exist and completely completed the European West. Line strategy.
However, from the beginning of the Battle of Britain, Germany ’s oil reserves began to decline. Although it is slow, it is still thrilling: the British hardly left too many strategic materials for the Germans. After Germany finished the British crude oil reserves fell to 10 million tons.
At this time, in order to improve the national living standard, Germany carried out a series of economic revitalization reforms in the country. As the head of state, Akado promised to let each family own their own cars. Germany will begin to popularize high-end luxury electrical equipment such as TV sets in 40 years. This has allowed Germany's civil industry to develop on a large scale, and it has also brought the domestic consumption of oil to a new level.
At the end of 1938, the German crude oil reserves fell to 8 million tons. The National Defense Forces stationed in France and Germany began to reduce their fuel strategic reserves. In early 1939, the Navy had to join the "tighten belts to pass the life" sequence. The voyage of the fleet was reduced to twice a year.
Because the war was going too fast, oil investment in Syria saw no return at all. Rommel ’s Middle East strategy was forced to a standstill due to battles on the Eastern Front. Because of the growth and development of domestic industrial capacity, German crude oil has almost decayed to a worrying point.
Indeed, the total crude oil reserves are now nearly 3 million tons more than during the war, but the size of the German army and the area under German rule have expanded several times or even more than ten times, and the industrial production capacity has been more than five times larger than the original. In this state, burning out the crude oil, which was originally estimated to be completed in one year, is estimated to take only five months or even three months.
"Marshal Blauchic." Akado thought of these things about energy and was a little bit burned. He looked at the army's nominal boss and asked: "If, let Vlasov relax some restrictions and let him form Will it be effective to start a new Ukrainian army and fill it to the southern front? "
Brauchic froze for a moment, then frowned and thought, and finally he hesitated to answer the question of the head of the Akado: "My head, this can really alleviate some problems, but ... but after all How much can be relieved, the General Staff and I need to evaluate it before we can give the result. "
"The plan is to go in two parts!" Akado made a determination, then stood up and walked to Lundstedt, pointing at the map with his finger: "Let the three new army groups of n, o, and p be transferred separately Some of the troops came out and all were handed over to Küchler! Let his n-group army first form combat power and pull directly to the southern line to ensure that the Caucasus battle can be successfully ended. As long as we seize the Caucasus oil-producing region, we can improve the current Passive situation. "
Then he turned around and said to Lundstadt: "Marshal Lundstatt, the attack in the central region, after the capture of Smolensk, was completely stopped. The next point is to capture the Caucasus, which is for oil A compromise must be made. "
The more Akado said, the more irritable the mood. Only him in the conference room knew what he was talking about and what it meant. He was repeating the orders issued by Hitler, giving up his plan to attack Moscow, and the whole army turned around and fought an "economic war."
There is still a difference. Hitler ’s southward battle is not as large as Akado ’s current scale, and the strategic goal of fighting for the Caucasus oil field is not as sure as Akado is now. It is more reassuring that Akado ’s current war situation is better than Hitler faced a lot better.
Because of this, Akado dared to fight, if he embarked on the same old road as Hitler, now he is thinking of begging. Another thing that made him feel that he had gambled once was because of the time now, he spent the entire spring and summer in the direction of the Caucasus, much more time than the Germans in another time and space.
"Generals! The victory is here!" Akado pointed to the map and said: "Seize the Caucasus! Beat Stalin!"
"Wow!" All the generals present stood up and saluted: "Yes! My head!"
