Chapter 807 New Target, Dutch Shell

In October, news about the European battlefield appeared in the newspapers every day.

On the 5th, the German army made a lightning raid and quickly broke through the Polish defense line.

On the 6th, the Polish government moved from Warsaw to Lublin.

On the 10th, the German army drove straight into the hinterland of Poland, and the Polish army retreated steadily all the way.

On the 14th, the German army completely completed the siege of Warsaw, and two days later joined forces with the South Army in Włodawa, forming an encirclement of the main Polish army.

28th.

Xiao Biesheng was newlywed, and Li Zitao, who had spent the night fighting with his returned wife, got up early in the morning.

Two hours after going to the gym to shed tears as usual, Li Zitao lay in the bathtub filled with water by the servant, flipping through the important reports compiled by the secretary's office.

Occupying the front pages of the major pages today, emphasizing the black headlines are; Warsaw has fallen.

The Polish government officially went into exile in Romania. The Polish army was captured by Germany and the Soviet Union. Nearly 1 million people were captured. Except for the stubborn resistance of small groups, the entire territory of Poland has been completely occupied.

As for those small resistance forces, they will soon be wiped out and completely disappeared.

In addition, there is another important piece of information, that the dwarf and Franco were assassinated within a few hours of each other.

It seems that this is a well-planned and simultaneous assassination plan.

Fortunately, the two were like the sons of the goddess of fate, and escaped the assassination without any danger.

The two reacted differently to the incident, and the little man still attended the funeral of the SS who died protecting him.

According to the narration in the newspaper: His expression is indifferent, like a machine without emotion, people dare not look at him, just staying by his side makes his whole body go numb, as if his scalp will stand on end .

Franco strongly condemned this and vowed to catch the murderer and the instigator behind it.

It's just that this declaration seems a bit anticlimactic. It's not so much a declaration as it is purely to vent the anger in my heart.

Recently, Franco seems to have figured out something, and started to keep a certain distance from NCD, and secretly began to hook up with the United States.

There are still many benefits for Franco to have both sides. The aid he received from American companies at the beginning of the war was interrupted for a period of time in 1938.

But under the premise that he took the initiative to move closer to the United States, these restrictions quickly disappeared again.

Oil and unlimited loans from Texas Oil, cars from General Motors and Ford, and tons of ammunition from DuPont.

With the complete outbreak of the European war, the Soviet Union considered its own political inclinations and positions and ended its assistance to the Republic, and the International Column had no choice but to leave.

The advantage of doing so is that it not only eases the relationship with Britain and France, but also wins over and stabilizes the validity of the German-Soviet non-aggression agreement just signed.

Therefore, the Soviet Union has the initiative. It can join forces with Britain and France to form an anti-FXS alliance, and it can maintain a non-aggression situation with Germany when it retreats.

Of course, the best result is to wait and see what happens, and be the last oriole.

Let the British and French fight the Germans to the death first, and by the end of the war, the Soviet Union will naturally become an important weight to overwhelm the balance.

In order to obtain the greatest benefit with the smallest loss, the Soviet Union's abacus also sounded "bang bang".

As for the survival of the Spanish Republic, it is natural to stand aside when it comes to its own interests.

When the Soviet Union withdrew, the United States secretly reached a support agreement with Franco, and the French border increased security, the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aid line to the Republic was also cut off.

The gold entrusted to him by the government of the Republic was almost used up. Although Li Zitao raised the price several times in the later stage, under the current situation, the Republic should be grateful for the weapons aid, and there was nothing to complain about.

…………

"Poland is over. The Soviet Union is building a so-called Oriental display on the new border to strengthen the depth. Who will be next?"

Washington, the Office of the President.

Roosevelt was pointing at the newspaper in front of him with a livid face, looking at the advisers, staff officers and his generals sitting across from him.

No one was able to answer his question, not because he couldn't answer it, but because he didn't want to or didn't dare to answer it.

Li Zitao's 'prophecy' came true again, casting a haze over the hearts of everyone who knew the prophecy.

Will Denmark, Norway, really be attacked next?

"Denmark and Norway next time, let think tanks and stockbrokers in rich countries get ready, how are companies in Britain and France doing now?"

New York, Rockefeller Center, in the study of the penthouse, five phones were connected at the same time, and the microphone was placed in front of Li Zitao.

Every time he wants to hear what they are saying, Li Zitao has to put the microphone close to his ear. Although this kind of conference call is very low and tiring, it is much better than being a trapeze.

Regarding the short-selling plan of British and French companies, think tanks and rich countries all use offshore companies to avoid being settled by Britain, France and the United States.

All the people involved in the plan have signed a strict confidentiality plan. If any information is leaked, they will lose their fortunes and go to jail.

Of course, the FBI or the Commercial Investigation Department would not be the first to come to the door, but the Secret Service and Supervision Department of S.H.I.E.L.D. Everyone knew this well.

Therefore, they will keep their mouths in check, even the nearest family members will not disclose.

Ben, who is now in his 40s, is getting more and more bald, and he has almost wiped out the few sparse seedlings on the top of his head.

However, his worth and income are also increasing day by day. According to the current situation, after the end of World War II, he will officially enter the 100 million yuan club.

The only pity is that there have been some small changes in his marriage.

However, these news came from other people, Ben behaved normally, and Li Zitao did not intervene without authorization.

The conference call lasted 90 minutes before Li Zitao hung up all the calls in satisfaction.

The most important part of this bargain hunting is Mobil's largest business partner in Europe, Royal Dutch Shell.

Now, we just need to wait for Britain and France to officially enter the war, and then the French are ravaged by the dwarfs, and the British are trapped in the mainland and are in urgent need of rescue. Li Zitao will generously extend a helping hand and bring them hope and friendship.

In return for assistance and friendship, Li Zitao wanted to intervene in the board of Dutch Shell, and this request should not be too much.

Now Mobil's development in the Far East has far left the oil companies behind.

With Lian Qinglin's go-between, coupled with low-cost high-quality oil and advanced refining levels, Mobil is gradually expanding the global market.

If he can successfully access Dutch Shell, and rely on the oil reserves owned by the Persian Gulf and Mobil, it can be said that Li Zitao will become a well-deserved oil king.

It is frustrating that, so far, it has not been able to find a suitable reason and time to cut off the oil supply to Japan.

For the Japanese market, other oil companies have been watching closely.

Once Mobil relaxes its vigilance, it will be attacked by other oil companies, and Mobil's influence on Japan will decline sharply.

Stopping the supply of oil to Japan will only cause Mobil to suffer losses. Japan is no longer subject to Mobil, and its opinion needs to be taken into account.

In addition, Japan will not have any losses, but it will be all bad for Mobil.

Therefore, Li Zitao, knowing that the Japanese were doing mischief in the Far East, had to continue to watch with a cold eye, watching the oil provided by Mobil being transported into the battlefield.
