“President, how should we respond to the Romanians? Should we accept their request?”
The man with the mustache was a little indignant. He felt that running dogs like the Romanians, who never set, should be taught a lesson with thundering means, and they should not be given the opportunity to surrender, because they don’t deserve it at all. However,
Mainz did not intend to send troops to Romanians because it was not cost-effective.
Isn’t the attack on Romanians for oil and control of the Black Sea?
If you want oil, others are now delivering it to the door, and you can get it without sending troops to attack them, so there is no need to do it.
As for control of the Black Sea region, these will not come in handy until the German army attacks the Soviet Union.
Before Hans went to war with the Soviet Union, the Black Sea region The control of the region is of no use to them, and because Romani is a neighboring country of the Bear, if they send troops to attack Romani at this time, it will pose a threat to the Bear in the west and southwest.
The Bear will definitely be alarmed, and may prepare in advance to create obstacles for the German attack!
Therefore, this is not the best time to act against Romani, and Carol II is a guy who only cares about his own enjoyment and ignores national interests. To deal with such a person, Mainz has many ways to make him hand over Romani’s national interests!
Therefore, war is not the only way to solve the problem, and it is not even the best way!
“Since they are so sensible and took the initiative to give the oil fields to us, there is no reason for us not to accept it. After all, the British navy has now blocked our outlets to the sea in the North Sea, completely cutting off our channels for importing oil from abroad. Now that our oil source has lost the big head of the United States, we can only rely on our own oil production and imports from Russia and the Romani region!”
The man with a mustache nodded. It was he who discovered and mined the oil fields in the North Schleswig area. The mining time in this place was not long, and the oil production had not yet reached its peak. At this time, it produced a maximum of 5 million tons of oil a year.
This number is not small, but for Hans’s huge war machine of millions of troops and a large number of domestic factories that urgently need oil, this number is far from enough.
So Hans still needs to import from outside, and they can only take land routes instead of sea routes. In this way, the countries that can provide them with oil are very limited. The Russian Bear and Romaniya in the east are currently Hans’s main oil suppliers.
The Russian Bear is Hans’s imaginary enemy, and war will definitely break out between the two countries in the future, so Hans must not rely entirely on the Russian Bear for the supply of oil, because there is no guarantee that the Russian Bear will suddenly change his mind one day and go straight to him. Directly cut off their oil supply.
At this time, when the war between Hans and the Russian Bear had not yet broken out, Mainz had consciously increased its oil imports from the Russian Bear. Now they have to import about 1.2 million tons of oil from the Russian Bear every month, and at least 14 million tons of oil a year!
This number is enough to meet Han’s needs. Combined with the oil produced by Hans itself and the oil from the Romaniya region, Hans’ total oil imports have exceeded demand!
The reason why there are so many extra stones is because Mainz deliberately increased imports from the Russian Bear region.
He knew that this import channel was unsustainable, so before the Russian Bear cut off the oil export, he bought as much oil as possible from the Russian Bear, stored it, and established Hans’s strategic oil reserves, and when the Russian Bear really cut off the oil export in the future, Hans can draw oil from strategic reserves, so there won’t be a sudden lack of oil!
The lesson of the Third Reich’s decline in combat effectiveness due to lack of oil in history is too profound, so Mainz attaches great importance to this issue. The Third Reich lacked a large navy, strategic bombers and large transport aircraft, and relied solely on fighters, dive bombers and tanks on the ground, and they burned so much oil.
Under the leadership of Mainz in this era, Hans’s naval strength has been greatly enhanced, and the demand for fuel has also risen steadily. A Bismarck-class battleship requires at least 6,500 tons of fuel for a voyage, and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier also need to burn oil. The navy must burn at least 100,000 tons of fuel each time it goes out, and there will definitely be millions of tons of fuel in a year.
And because the Air Force is equipped with strategic bombers, their fuel consumption is also Very scary, a B-29 needs 25 tons of fuel for one sortie, and now the German army only has 100 B-29s, so only 2,500 tons are needed for one sortie, but when the scale of the air force is further expanded, coupled with the service of more advanced B-36 and B-52, the fuel consumption of the German Air Force is bound to rise sharply!
During World War II, the oil production of the Eagle Sauce has always been maintained at about 200 million tons, and it is precisely because of such a huge oil production that they can maintain their nearly 12 million troops, including 100,000 fighters, hundreds of aircraft carriers, thousands of warships and nearly 100,000 tanks!
Hans is not so generous, but in order to maintain the normal operation of the army and society, the annual oil supply must be maintained at about 15 million tons. If it is lower than this number, the combat strength of the German army will definitely be affected.
That is why Mainz is desperately expanding imports. It now imports 14 million tons of oil from the Russian bear every year. Hans’ current consumption is about 8 million tons per year. If you calculate it this way, the oil imported from the Russian bear alone can increase by 6 million tons per year, plus Hans’ own production and imports from Romania.���Imported from Niger.
Hans can store 2 million tons of oil every year. If it continues to store like this for three years, then Hans will have enough oil to sustain their four operations!
Within four years, as long as Hans makes a breakthrough in either direction, the oil supply problem can be solved.
Defeat the British Empire to the east and lift the British naval blockade.
The German army can not only restore the channel for importing oil from the sea, but also seize the North Sea oil fields where the sun never sets.
Although the oil production of the North Sea oil fields is not too high, it can produce at least 12 million tons of oil a year.
Together with Hans’ own oil fields, it can basically meet Hans’ needs.
If the bear is defeated to the east, then the bear’s oil fields in the Caucasus will all belong to Hans.
The annual output of the oil fields in the Caucasus is about 3 million tons, which can fully meet Hans’ needs.
Therefore, as long as Hans has a certain amount of oil reserves to support them to win the war, then they have the capital to solve the problem!
The mustache nodded. Since Mainz nodded in agreement, he had no objection.
Hans’s answer made the Romanians feel relieved. They all felt that they had been forgiven by Hans, so they didn’t have to worry about being attacked by Hans!
As a result, King Carol II no longer had any worries and continued to live his extravagant life!
……
North America, Washington, the capital of the Eagle Sauce.
After the news of the capture of the Gaul capital came, the whole of North America was shocked.
The Maple Leaf Country was shocked by the all-round defeat of the Allied Forces, and the Eagle Sauce was shocked by Hans’s strong fighting power.
They thought that the two sides would form a tug-of-war on the front line and fight each other for a while, but they didn’t expect Hans to move so quickly and cleanly defeat the two major powers!
