Chapter 293： Steel Treaty

"When did Libya's oil be unearthed?" Sure enough, everyone's worries were justified. Just a day later, Mussolini hurriedly arrived in Berlin, with a sense of inquiries.

As soon as he came here, Mussolini immediately asked everyone about Libyan oil.

At the beginning, after agreeing to hand over Libyan oil to the Germans and setting up a Munich Petroleum Company, Mussolini never thought that the oil could be produced inside, so he only charged a lari symbolically. .

"It's hard to explain in a word." Cyric said to the side: "We have explored for decades and spent tens of millions of marks. We thought it would end in failure. As a result, last year, we suddenly found a large oilfield."

Mussolini's eyes quickly flashed a hot gaze, a large oil field! How big is the scale?

“We have discovered a large oil field near Amal. The estimated reserves are more than 580 million tons. Now, we are installing drilling equipment, and when it matures, we will produce about 3.5 million tons of oil annually.”

580 million tons of reserves! 3.5 million tons per year! These data make Mussolini quite heart-warming! Libya is a colony of Italy, and the oil there should belong to Italy!

Thinking of this, his face darkened: "In this case, then we need the right to exploit this oil field."

"Sorry, at the beginning, we had already signed an agreement. The oil extraction rights in Libya belonged to our Munich company. Now, we have invested tens of millions of marks. It is easy to see the benefits, Mussolini's party leader. , Your request like this makes us unable to agree."

Cyric’s speech was very fast. He did not wait for Mussolini to reply. He continued: "We will fulfill the agreement. According to our original agreement, you will enjoy 20% of the income. You don’t need to invest. Any funds can be enjoyed automatically without hiring personnel. According to the agreement..."

"At the beginning I thought that Libya could not have oil. It was for your military training." Mussolini said: "Now that there is oil, that agreement is of course invalidated. We have to re-draw the agreement."

Mussolini, as the leader of the party, as the leader of the fxs of the whole world, said one thing, it was easy to regret it.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly cooled down.

Hitler never spoke. In his eyes, Mussolini was his teacher. He didn't want to draw a sword with his teacher, but now, the teacher's approach makes it difficult for him to accept.

Germany also needs oil. Libya's oil is Hitler's most important lifeblood. The original agreement has been signed. Now, when Mussolini comes up to speak, he will tear up the agreement!

Although Hitler often did things about tearing up agreements, it was tearing up other people's agreements, and it was incredibly refreshing to do it. Now, it was someone else tearing up his agreement, which made him extremely depressed.

How to do? If Mussolini's appetite is not full, then according to Cyric, it is better to find a new person to become the leader of Italy! Although this matter is difficult or impossible to do, at least it can cause turmoil in Italy, and no one will continue to pursue Libyan oil. When Germany has occupied the whole of Europe, Italy dare to fart!

Hitler didn't want to go that far, but if Mussolini pushed it too hard...

"Party leader, your joke is really funny." At this moment, Cyrek broke the repressive atmosphere. "Didn't we have signed the Axis treaty before? We Germany and Italy are an axis. , Our interests are the same."

"Our goal is very long-term. The whole of Europe will be surrendered to our feet. We are quite sincere. There should be no failure to keep our promises? Originally, we planned to sign a more strategically significant one. The agreement." Cyric said.

A more strategic agreement? Mussolini looked at Cyric and didn't know what Cyric wanted to say, but his goal was the whole of Europe. This statement was in line with Mussolini's psychology.

Thinking of the issue of Africa and Spain, Germany is closely behind Italy, Mussolini felt that if he had all the mining rights over, it was indeed too much.

"We are preparing to brew a new agreement called the steel treaty." Cyric said: "We Germany and Italy will establish a military alliance."

Steel Treaty! There are three main items in this agreement:

1. When the security or major interests of one of the contracting states are threatened from outside, the other party will provide political and diplomatic support;

2. If one party is involved in a war, the other party will provide military support by land, sea and air;

3. Establish a standing committee to strengthen mutual coordination.

What is the use of this treaty? Of course, it marks the official establishment of the German-Italian military alliance, which clearly stipulates mutual military obligations to overthrow the existing international system and seize European and world hegemony.

Mussolini coveted oil, but he coveted world hegemony even more! After several annexations, Germany is no longer the weak and defeated country. Germany now ranks among the top three in the world in terms of comprehensive strength, leaving Britain and France behind!

In fact, Mussolini mobilized all the people to come to ask the crime this time. Isn't he showing his identity? Don't look at Germany now that is strong, I am your revolutionary teacher, you have to listen to me!

And now, the new proposal put forward by Germany makes Mussolini extremely valued.

So Mussolini's attention has been removed from oil, oil is only a small problem, strategy is the big one! Occupy all of Europe! This is a big strategy!

"So, should we pull in Japan? Form a three-nation alliance?" Mussolini asked.

Pull up Japan? That is tantamount to dying early and overbearing, the group of dwarfs in the island country don’t even know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!

Historically, it was because of Japan's drag that Japan suddenly ran to fight the United States. As a result, Hitler was forced to declare war on the United States due to the alliance. As a result, the United States was dragged in and Germany's future was ruined.

Now Hitler has accepted Cyric’s calm analysis. Labrador Japan is actually useless for Germany. After all, Japan’s battlefield is in Asia, and some military exchanges can be conducted privately, but it cannot be raised to the war level.

Now, after hearing Mussolini’s question, Hitler quickly replied: “On the issue of China, we and Japan have serious differences. Therefore, we need to go through repeated consultations to form an alliance with Japan. Now, our interests and Italy’s interests are completely consistent. It is better for us to sign this military agreement first. As for Japan, we will wait until China’s differences are resolved in the future."
