Chapter 294： 500,000 barrels per day

For Germany, China is also an important source of resources. At the same time, Germany exports a large amount of arms to China, and both sides get what they need. Japan, on the other hand, intends to invade and destroy China's existing government. This difference between the two parties is almost impossible to reconcile.

Mussolini nodded: "I personally accept this steel treaty."

First make this covenant and see how the Germans play! Mussolini has made up his mind.

"Then, after signing this agreement, we can provide some technical support to Italy." Cyric continued: "IMHO, in the last Spanish Civil War, we have found that your armor is too backward. ."

This sentence made Mussolini blush.

I don't know, I am surprised.

The CV33 tank produced by Italy now is simply a toy, and the CV35 tank is not good either. All are behind!

Look at the Spanish Civil War, the Italian army, the hard bones that can't be gnawed down, the German tanks moved up and took them down! Now that the Spanish Civil War is over, the Italian Army is also deeply reflecting on it.

The result of this reflection is that they must develop heavy tanks!

However, the technology in this area is far too different. From a two-ton light tank to a tank of more than 20 tons, the difficulty is not a little bit, so they are still in the groping stage.

If you have technical support from Germany, it would be different!

"We can also send a part of the backbone of the army to enter the Italian army and train your tank troops so that they can have advanced tactics. What do you think?" Cyric said.

This is the result of discussions with Hitler and others before Mussolini came.

To transform the Italian army, the fighting power of the noodle army is too weak, and they must be reformed to be able to really help in future wars, not to be funny.

Moreover, a large number of instructors were sent, of course, to control the Italian army more conveniently in the future!

It can be said that in the entire European battlefield of World War II, only the German army was fighting, and the troops of the other servant countries were all fighting soy sauce!

Now, Germany already has a forty-ton Panther 3 tank. It is nothing to export part of the technology of the 20-ton Panther 2 tank to Italy. Now, many countries have been able to develop 20-ton tanks. The tank is out.

Or help Italy to use their existing technology to research and develop, it is all possible. In this way, it is possible to extend the hand of Germany to the field of military research and development in Italy.

"This, we welcome it very much." Mussolini is already very satisfied. Italy's own technology is not enough. Since Germany is willing to help, it is of course very desirable.

Now, Germany has shown good to Italy in all aspects, so what can Mussolini say?

"Then, regarding our oil issues." Cyric said: "In the beginning, our agreement, once the oil was released, we could allocate 20% to Italy. Now, we will increase the ratio and give Italy 100%. Thirty, do you feel acceptable?"

Thirty percent! Then Italy can get one million tons of oil a year! For Italy, it is actually enough.

In Italy now, the mechanized force is still very small, and there is almost no oil gap. Now that they have given so much, it is enough for them.

Moreover, Italy has not given any funds, it is purely for nothing, so Mussolini knows that he has no possibility of rejection.

When I came, I originally planned to take over all Libya’s oil exploitation rights. Now, I only got ten to thirty percent of the oil share. However, with other agreements, this trip is worth it. .

Hitler never said much. After all, Cyric suggested that once Mussolini disagrees, Hitler can change his words, and once Hitler's proposal is rejected by Mussolini, it is difficult to change his words, and Hitler will also Embarrassing.

Until Mussolini was sent away, everyone let out a long breath.

"These greedy Italians!" Goring couldn't help cursing.

greedy! Libya’s oil was produced entirely by itself and spent so much. Now, Italy doesn’t have to pay anything and it automatically enjoys 30% of it, which is simply too irritating!

"Now, we can finally let go and exploit Libya's oil in large quantities." Cyric said: "Within one month, our oil in Libya can reach a daily output of 500,000 barrels. Our oil pipeline, It was built according to this output."

Half a million barrels! Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened again.

What kind of data is this? Some data can be used for comparison.

In history, in 1940, Germany’s oil was 4.8 million tons; coal-made oil was 3.2 million tons. It can be seen that coal-to-oil is the main energy source in Germany, and it almost accounts for half of it. All tanks are gasoline, which is helpless.

Historically, the highest oil production in Germany was in 1943, with 7.6 million tons of oil and 5.53 million tons of coal-based oil. This is already the limit of Germany.

And now, these, in front of Libya's oil, are drizzle.

One ton of oil is about seven barrels, and 500,000 barrels is about 70,000 tons. That one month's output is 2.1 million tons, and the annual output is about 25 million tons!

What an amazing number! Moreover, this is the initial stage. In the future, if the production capacity is further increased, an increase of 50% should be no problem. It can even increase by 100%.

Now, Italy does not have any exploitation rights and only enjoys 30% of the oil. Of course Cyric will not give him the real 30%. He doesn't know how much it is produced anyway, and it will be given to Italy in one year. One or two million tons is enough for Italy!

Compare it with the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1940, the US oil production was 205.91 million tons, and the Soviet oil production in 1941 was 33 million tons.

It can be seen that the United States, which has the deepest heritage, is really not comparable to ordinary countries. However, for Germany, in addition to Libya, there will be Romania, and there will be oil fields across Europe including Later Soviet oil fields.

It can be said that relying on the Libyan oil fields, Germany no longer has to worry about oil problems!

Behind this is Cyric’s hard work for more than ten years. Many oil workers have dedicated their youth to Germany. In the Libyan desert, they have been drilling and sealing continuously for more than ten years. They are silent and selfless. Efforts have resulted in today's results.

Of course, the 500,000 barrels of crude oil produced per day is not shocking. This is not even half of the oil production of later Libya.

Libya’s oil has always been a secret. Except for a handful of people, no one else knows it. Now that Cyric throws out this number, everyone is extremely excited. With oil, there is no need to Worried!

"We launched all the oil tankers to transport large amounts of Libyan oil to Germany, and strive to store enough oil before the war," Cyric continued.

"What about after the war?" Goering asked.

"After the war, we must seize the sea power in the Mediterranean." Cyric said solemnly.
