Chapter 263: Oil problem

Historically, when the Navy was preparing for the Earl Zeppelin aircraft carrier, there were also two carrier-based aircraft in the plan. 【Full text reading】
Among them, the model improved by Messerschmitt is Bf109T, which increases the wing area and improves lift. The wing is extended by 60 cm. The hinges are installed on the outside of the mid-section cannon, which can be folded upwards. A landing hook is installed, a catapult contact is installed near the front wheel, and the corresponding structure is strengthened.
In addition to this carrier-based fighter, the other carrier-borne bomber is Stuka. Based on the Ju87B, it has modified folding wings, installed catapult contacts, landing hooks and used for emergency landing. The landing gear used on the water has become a carrier-based aircraft that can be used on aircraft carriers.
And now, due to Goring’s rude uncooperativeness, the BF109 is useless to board the ship, and Cyric took advantage of this opportunity to develop the FW190, which fully meets the needs of the Navy, and is more advanced than the historical aircraft It has been remodeled, focusing on increasing fuel reserves, and has become a long-range fighter.
However, the Navy still has a shortage of attack aircraft.
He51 is definitely not suitable for future wars. In fact, if Cyric chooses, Cyric would prefer the HS129 with the title of tank opener. Unfortunately, this aircraft is still in the stage of program demonstration.
On the Spanish battlefield, the pilots experimented with the effects of ground attacks and concluded that air-to-ground attacks are effective even if there are no bombs and cannons are used. However, the aircraft needs additional protection to become one. A flying tank will do.
Now it is just a program demonstration. There is still a long time before the prototype is truly mature. After all, the historical HS129 was developed under the stimulation of Yi-2.
Therefore, if you want to equip an aircraft carrier with an attack aircraft, Stuka is a good choice, especially when carrying a bomb against a ship.
Now, since Goering had proposed it, Cyric would certainly not refuse.
"Well, I am really happy to see that our navy and air force can work together to make new contributions to our national defense cause," Cyric said.
Goering was very upset. Now, in terms of military rank, Cyrek is still inferior to Goring. However, in terms of status in the party, Cyrek is already ranked second, and he is almost the successor appointed by Hitler. !
Therefore, although Cyric's tone made Goring very upset, Goring could only passively accept it.
"Great head of state, I have to remind you that, although our army is strong day by day, our advanced mechanized army needs a lot of fuel as a basis. However, now, our fuel reserves have been They are all at a minimum warning line."
After completing his naval inspection and returning to Berlin, at the first meeting that Cyric attended, Albert Speer gave a serious warning.
Since Speer became the Minister of Equipment of the Empire under Cyric’s proposal, he immediately showed his expertise. In a short period of time, he almost doubled all aspects of German weapon production. ! This is quite an achievement!
Now, Germany does not have to worry about mineral resources for the time being. Through cooperation with the Soviet Union in the past few years, Germany has obtained a mountain of ore, which can be used for at least 40 years according to current calculations.
At the same time, there are also mineral resources after the conquest of Austria, and various minerals in Spain. In a short time, the problem of minerals can not be considered.
However, the issue of energy is already imminent.
Germany's oil production is very small. Even after obtaining Austria, the addition of Austrian oil is far from enough for Germany's expenditure.
The war in Spain showed the combat power of mechanized troops. Now, in the German Army, there are constantly changing infantry divisions into armored divisions, and they all need more oil.
At the same time, the navy and air force also need oil. Now, the oil problem is quite serious.
It can be said that although Germany has a large amount of equipment now, once it enters a state of war and Germany’s oil supply is cut off, all of Germany’s existing equipment will become scrap iron. Germany’s oil reserves will last for half a month. Can't support it.
Petroleum, this black gold, is the foundation of all advanced equipment!
Hearing Speer's warning, Hitler looked at Cyrek.
Libya has a large amount of oil, and it is still a secret. At the top, no more than five people know!
Over the years, the Libyan engineering team has remained in Libya. All of them are the most loyal personnel. As long as there is a message from Berlin, it can reach the level of 10,000 barrels of crude oil per day within a week, and within a month, it can reach ten. Ten thousand barrels of daily output! In this case, one Libya is enough to support the entire German war machine!
After all, in recent years, the engineering team has completed all the oil wells in Libya. There are 12 extra-large oil fields with a total proven reserves of more than 1 billion barrels, and many of them are fairly easy to exploit. !
Moreover, in the past few years, the oil pipeline has been paved in the desert of Libya. It can be said that we are waiting for the day when the rock is broken!
Now, Germany lacks crude oil, and Libya has enough oil to support Germany in winning the entire World War II!
How to do? Do it now?
The temptation is too great~EbookFREE.me~ Even Cyrek considered this temptation for a long time before controlling this temptation. He calmly said to Hitler: "Our secrets cannot be revealed yet."
It cannot be exposed, and before France is defeated, it cannot be exposed! When France is captured, after gaining control of the Mediterranean, land can be carried out. From Libya, across the Mediterranean to Spain, from Spain to France, it can be shipped to Germany!
Although the sea can also be directly shipped from Libya to the ports in northern Germany, it needs to master the sea power of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, that is to say, after landing on the British mainland, it is all right!
The oil fields there were only available after the war began, but now, they can’t. Moreover, Italy is still in the role of Big Brother. If you know that there is endless oil there, it will definitely tear up the original agreement, and will not admit that it has been given to Germany.
So, how to solve Germany's existing dilemma?
"I thought of two methods." Cyric said: "First, use our rich gold reserves to defeat Britain and France, and from Romania, expand our share of oil imports!"
"Second, we import large quantities from the Soviet Union!"
