Chukil landed in California and took a train to Chicago, the new capital of the Eagle Sauce, he saw a lifeless scene all the way.
It seemed that the spirit of the Eagle Sauce people was beaten down in an instant!
Maybe the situation in California is a little better. Although he didn’t visit many places, the lives of the residents in the California area did not seem to be affected too much. Although there were not many people on the streets, and most of them were in a hurry, there were almost no people stopping or talking on the street.
Everyone seemed to have something very urgent to do, which gave people a very depressing and dull feeling.
However, when he boarded the train and started to head east, Chukil immediately felt a more suffocating tense atmosphere!
Along the way, he saw a large number of Eagle Sauce people who drove to the west to seek refuge with their families.
Almost all of these people were from the eastern region, especially those who were bombed.���The people in the eastern coastal areas and several states near Florida.
The war had a very direct impact on them, forcing them to abandon their property in panic, flee their hometowns with their families, and flee to the west for refuge!
At present, the west of the United States is still safe. Except for California, it is vast and sparsely populated. There doesn’t seem to be any important target for the other side to attack by air, so it is safe in the short term!
So a large number of people began to migrate to the west to avoid the war. Some extreme people even planned to flee to Hawaii, which is further west. It is nearly 3,000 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States. The German army could not threaten here no matter what, unless the United States was defeated!
Such a weak refugee wave made Chukir feel a little shocked!
So much so that he couldn’t help but start to complain in his heart:
“No way? You are the world’s number one power, right? Just a small failure made you lose confidence in winning?”
The German landing force was so small that it was obvious that they could not occupy the entire Eagle Sauce in a short time!
What’s more, aren’t the German troops still hiding in the south and not moving?
In this case, why are you scaring yourself?
After seeing Roosevelt and the senior government officials of Eagle Sauce, Churchill could not help but said,”Sir, the situation in your country is quite bad. I have seen a large number of people fleeing to the west to escape the war along the way. Why don’t you stop such behavior? Don’t you know that this will also lead to chaos among the people?”
Hearing Churchill’s words, Roosevelt and his subordinates looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
“Mr. Prime Minister, things are not as simple as you think. We did not experience a single failure, but a series of failures!”
Roosevelt shook his head, not knowing how to explain it, because if he really wanted to explain it, it was a bit difficult to say. He didn’t seem to want to bring up the matter.
“”What’s going on? Have you been defeated again recently?”
This question was asked in a very impolite manner, so that the military generals around President Roosevelt changed their faces after hearing what Chukir said, and began to look at Qiu Shen unfriendly!
Obviously, they felt that their scars were exposed by the other party, so they felt a little angry!
“The German army sent troops to land in Florida again a week ago, and the German army, which was reinforced, began to attack westward yesterday and should have captured New Orleans by now!”
New Orleans, the capital of Louisiana.
The location of this city is very important because it is the center of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico!
Although Chukir didn’t know much about these cities in the United States, he had heard of some major cities. When he heard Roosevelt mention the fall of New Orleans, he was immediately surprised.
“The German army took the initiative to attack westwards, could it be that?”
He immediately thought of a terrible thing!
“That’s right, they went there for oil!”
Originally, several southern states had not explored for oil, but a few years ago, when Goldman Sachs acquired Mobil Oil, they increased their exploration efforts in the southern states, and then discovered a large number of oil fields in Texas and Louisiana! The oil reserves in these oil fields are extremely rich, so it immediately shocked the entire Eagle Sauce!
And since 1924, Mobil Oil Company has begun to devote itself to exploiting oil fields in southern states. By the time the war broke out, the oil production in the south had accounted for more than 50% of the total oil production in the Eagle Sauce!
The oil in the south really occupies half of the country!
Such a huge oil production, once it falls into the hands of the German army, the consequences will be almost unimaginable!
“Since you know that the German army is going for oil, you should have prepared a plan to destroy the oil fields and refineries in advance, right? How about it, have the oil fields and refineries here been destroyed?”
After hearing what Roosevelt said in person, Chukir felt a little relieved.
He felt that since the other party had realized this problem, it proved that the other party should be prepared.
However, after hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of the senior officials of the Eagle Sauce, including Roosevelt, were a little bit wrong.
“”Why, don’t tell me you didn’t do that?”
Chukir raised his eyebrows, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the situation seemed a little bad!
No one answered him directly, but from everyone’s increasingly ugly faces, Chukir still got the answer he wanted.
It seems that the Eagle Sauce people have not completed the destruction of these oil fields and refineries!
This is great, the German army has earned so many oil fields for nothing, and also obtained complete refining facilities. I am afraid that the fuel problem that restricts them has been completely solved!
“It’s over, it’s all over!”
Although this place is not a place where the sun never sets, Chukir felt a deep despair!
“Don’t you know? Once the German war machine gets enough resources, what a terrible thing it will be!”
Cukil still remembers the disdainful attitude of the British Empire towards Hans’ exploitation of the North Sea oil fields.
After all, the oil reserves of the oil field discovered by the Germans are completely incomparable to the North Sea oil fields in their own hands, and may be only a few tenths of the oil reserves of their oil fields!
As a result, when all the British Empire people didn’t care and even began to mock Hans, the Germans relied on the oil output of this oil field to press the two major powers of the British Empire and Gaul to the ground and beat them to surrender or flee!
At this time, Europe, at least Western Europe, has completely become Hans’ own backyard!
The oil reserves and production of the southern states of the Eagle Sauce are hundreds of times that of the North Sea oil fields. If the Germans get the oil here, the consequences will probably be several times or even dozens of times more serious than before!
