Under the scorching sun, Libya's wilderness. If the fierce battle on the eastern front represents the bloodiest and most desperate war process, everything here has a taste of primitive desolation. But it can make the future, because it has been proved to be rich in oil.
On an oil field built in the desert, huge machinery and equipment are swinging back and forth. On the name plate of the equipment which is warm in the sun, there are lines of regular German words, indicating that these equipment are from Germany's Imperial Oil Industry Company.
The company is an energy company under the white orchid group, which is responsible for finding and developing oil in Libya. Obviously, in the past time, they have found oil and managed to extract it. Although Libya's infrastructure is very limited, with the stimulation of oil, everything is not a problem.
At the beginning, Italy and Germany cooperated in the exploitation of these oil resources, and soon built an oil pipeline, extending to Tuisi. Later, the oil was directly used in North Africa, so the German army began to build oil processing plants in Tobruk and other places. Although the quality of gasoline and other products produced is not high, it is much better than German coal to oil.
With this small oil factory, a large number of oil ships were saved in the Mediterranean Sea within the axis, and these saved ships began to transport more ammunition and weapons. The transportation of the axis powers has never been so smooth. The whole Mediterranean has become the inner lake of the whole Axis powers. Except for the occasional British submarines that sneak in and set up a few mines to interfere, it is no different from peacetime.
With the continuation of the early oil exploitation process, more and more equipment and experts poured into Libya from Italy and Germany. Compared with Romania, where the conditions are mature, everything here is still in the original stage of exploitation. This stage is the easiest to produce miracles and make people rich. Therefore, everyone rushed to this land with good wishes to seek the first bucket of gold.
Of course, compared with Baku and the war-torn Middle East, it also has unique geographical advantages. Once the oil fields here are exploited on a large scale, the whole Europe will get another stable and safe oil supply station.
It is also a huge temptation for Italy itself. The main reason for Mussolini's vacillation is that German technical experts claim that Italy's colonial Libya has oil reserves, and the quantity is not low - since Italy has enough resources to develop after the war, what war is there to fight, isn't it? With this idea, some Italian leaders, including Mussolini, began to study the possibility of Italy withdrawing from the war.
Not all countries hope to expand their own interests by aggression. At least when their fighting capacity is not as good as others, Italy has its own crooked mind. Mussolini hopes to turn Italy into another Switzerland, a neutral country and make money on both sides at a key point.
Next to a well that has been built, dozens of workers are busy. These workers are from Germany. Many of them are skilled workers who have participated in the construction of Austria's small oil fields. They come here to better exploit Libya's oil.
They have been working continuously for more than ten days. Most of their work in these days has been fruitless. After all, Libi Asia Pacific is too vast. Not all exploration and search will be rewarded accordingly. Akkado only knows that there is oil in Libya, but he really can't remember exactly where it is. I can only vaguely remember that in the south of Brega port, not far from laslanuf.
Fortunately, after a lot of efforts, they finally confirmed an oil production location, and they were unable to estimate the reserves of this oilfield. It's a huge oil field, and for now at least, it's comparable to the oil fields in Romania.
In order to extract oil as soon as possible, not only technical workers, surveyors and even mining equipment, the Germans helped Italy to prepare for it. Blanche group took out a large amount of materials and built oil storage facilities and refineries in Benghazi and other port cities.
Everything, all for today's moment, say not nervous, it is absolutely self deception. These workers and several engineers in charge of drilling are nervously debugging the well bit by bit, hoping to see a surprising scene in a few minutes.
As time went by, no one spoke. Everyone was nervous and looked at the drilling, hoping to see the oil gushing out in the next second. If the oil field has the expected reserves, and can be increased to the capacity of Romania, the axis countries can immediately take off the label of being poor in oil and become a completely self-sufficient alliance in oil.
"I said, team leader... Should... Be about to run out of oil?" A worker with his upper body was wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and asked anxiously about the middle-aged skilled worker who was also wearing only a hat, shorts and upper body.
The worker has a firm and angular beard and looks calm and extraordinary. But at this time, he also purses his mouth and doesn't speak. With a pair of deep eyes, he looks up at the drilling well waiting for oil injection above his head. Obviously, he is also very nervous now, because at this time, his heart is not as strong as usual.
All of a sudden, he felt the ground tremble under his feet, and then his eyes widened. As expected, there are a lot of oil reserves here. With the slight vibration, everyone was nervous. There was a roaring sound from the bottom of the earth. It seemed that something was going to break through the shackles and gush out. Soon, black liquid came out of the oil well. These oil resources, which are more precious than gold, suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes“ My God! The oil is out! It's out of oil! " A female staff member was so excited that she screamed. She hugged the male worker covered with oil around her, as if she were a couple who had been in love for a long time, kissing madly. Of course, everyone knows that in their remote hometown of Germany, they all have their own families. No one will take today's events seriously, but no one can forget such an exciting moment“ Yes! Finally let's find it! Finally let's get out! " A man with glasses shivered and wiped his tears, and said excitedly: "God, our efforts have finally been rewarded... God, I'm so excited."“ Come on! Send a telegram to Bai Lanhua headquarters! Come on! Use the latest password! Oh, my God! We're rich! We are going to be heroes of our motherland! " The middle-aged man at the head finally spoke his first words in such a long time. Maybe it's because he was so excited that he kept waving his hands when he spoke. The workers began to get busy, clean up the oil well, and then began to mass produce valuable oil. The officials in charge ran to the tent behind them, where there was their radio station. They wanted to deliver the good news to Germany thousands of miles away. Libya's oil production capacity has begun to expand and will more than double. The good news is enough to make the whole country excited, and the Empire's economy will go to a higher level. This oil field will be like a heart tonic to inject new strength into the Empire's war, so that the Empire's war on the eastern front will finally lead to victory. He took out the transmitter and connected the power line of the diesel generator. After waiting for the speed of the generator to stabilize, he began to press the label on the password book with a slightly trembling hand and sent out the content. After sending out, he found that he had unconsciously shed tears - crying with joy“ My Fuehrer An officer knocked on the door of the office and got permission to enter the room. He stood at attention at the door, waiting for akado to raise his head from the official document before raising his hand to salute: "news from Libya." This is undoubtedly a good news. Akado was stunned at first, and then he was inexplicably happy: "the news from Libya? So, there's progress in oil exploration and exploitation over there? " The officer nodded quickly, then went to akado's desk and put the message on the head of state's desk: "my head of state, the message says that another oil field in Libya has started to produce oil on a large scale. In a week, our oil production there can be more than doubled." Of course, akado knows what it means to double that, which means that Libya's oil can finally support Rommel's operations in North Africa and begin to feed back the European continent. With this oil field, the Third Reich would no longer have to worry about the shortage of fuel. Tens of thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of airplanes could move on without scruple and completely destroy those enemies who resisted“ Good! More than double... So, the oil pipeline to Brega port, the transportation road and other projects have been completed? " After a murmur, akado raised his voice and asked about Speer, the leader of the industrial sector, who was sitting next to him“ I'd like to ask your wife, Ms. Mercedes, specifically, my head of state. " Speer made a rare joke: "no need for me to say more, you should also know that just for the investment in Libya, my head of state, you are now the leading super rich man in Germany."------------- Thank you for your support and love!
