Chapter 294: Libya's Secret Exposed

Now, he and his good friend George have come to Libya together, of course, to dig up news, but unfortunately, for his old friend George, this is not a good place.

The endless desert, what is there to report? Yes, you can take a few beautiful photos, but what's the use of that?

This damn broken car! It is already the best car that can be rented in a nearby city. Unfortunately, it still breaks down here!

Opening the hood, George looked at the smoking engine inside and couldn't help shaking his head. This car, I don't know when, began to leak water. Now, the engine is completely overheated.

"Water has to be found and added to the engine," George said.

water! The two brought water with them before they set off, but it was too hot along the way, and they soon drank all the water!

There is no water for people to drink, where is there water for the engine?

"It seems that we must use the knowledge of survival in the desert that we have learned before." Ernie is very optimistic: "Let's find water from the desert!"

Not far away, you can see a green plant, and according to Ernie's judgment, where there are plants, there must be water below!

dig!

At the time of departure, considering that the car might get stuck in the desert, the two were carrying shovels. Seeing that George didn't move, Ernie started digging sand swiftly.

In fact, Ernie has no experience. In the desert, it is best not to move anything, it can only make the water in the body evaporate faster. If you want to move, you have to talk about it at night!

But now, with his shovel, he dug down, and after only half a meter, he saw a peculiar thing.

An iron pipe! This pipe is very thick, very thick, and Ernie also knows that this pipe is only used for one thing, which is to transport oil!

"George, we've discovered a big secret!" Ernie was extremely excited.

Here, there is actually an oil pipeline, what does that mean? There must be oil here, and the reserves are extremely rich! Why not build oil pipelines?

He immediately remembered that more than ten years ago, the Germans obtained oil exploration rights in Libya from the Italians. After that, there was no news. Some third-rate tabloids laughed at the Germans, and then there was no news.

Who would have thought that the Germans were so deep! They have unearthed oil here for a long time, and even the oil pipeline has been laid, but they have been silent. They would rather import oil from Romania at a high price than expose the secrets here!

Out of the reporter's consciousness, Ernie of course knew what earth-shattering news he had discovered, and he would also make a sensation in the world because of this news!

So, throwing away the car, the two walked in the desert for a night, and they came out smoothly! And Ernie, before returning to the office, published the news by telegraph.

Then, the newspaper published the news.

That's it.

News leaked.

Are the people in Libya wrong? No, they can't guard all the oil pipelines along the way. Now, they can only take good care of the oil well areas of several large oil fields, as well as their own secret bases.

If even all the oil pipelines were taken care of, the number of personnel needed would be astronomical! With the strength of Germany, it is simply impossible!

Therefore, they are not wrong, if they say wrong, then say God is wrong.

In short, the news that there is oil in Libya has been stabbed out, and it depends on how Germany takes it! And now, it's a tough choice.

If Germany wants to deny it, it has to dismantle all the oil pipelines and bury all the oil wells, so that the reporters who follow up can find nothing, and then accuse Ernie of this reporter for being a complete rumor and making things out of nothing.

However, in that case, the price is too high. How much does Germany secretly invest in Libya to make Libya's oil fields and pipelines ready for production?

This oil pipeline alone has been built in Germany for six years! Now, to dismantle these all? That's a huge loss, and it's not worth it at all.

"It seems that we don't have to import large quantities of oil from the Soviet Union." Cyric said with a wry smile: "The secret of Libyan oil can't be kept, and we can only exploit it liberally."

Since the secret has been leaked, there is no other way, mine!

Anyway, WWII hasn't started yet! Only the last section of the oil pipeline is left, and it can be connected to the coastline of Libya. When the oil field here is put into production, it will be directly transported to the oil tanker there, and then it can be transported back to Germany. Germany does not need to spend money. Imported, there is Libyan oil, enough for Germany to use!

However, this consequence is also quite serious. This was originally a big secret of Germany. It was used as a crude oil reserve when the war broke out in the future. Now that it has been exposed, there is no secret at all.

On the other hand, the large-scale exploitation of crude oil here will certainly attract Mussolini's dissatisfaction. At first, Mussolini accepted bribes from his own side and transferred the oil exploration rights in Libya to himself, but now what? Can he not be moved when he sees the gurgling oil?

He must be in need of benefits, and feeding Mussolini is not easy!

Now, it has been 38 years, and the German war machine has become stronger. It can be said that it is impossible for the German army to stop quickly when Italy dispatched troops to defend Austria.

In the Spanish Civil War, the German army showed far more combat effectiveness than Italy. If the two countries were at a standoff, Germany would not be afraid of the threat of war from Italy, but now, after all, Italy and itself are allies! Moreover, Mussolini was also Hitler's revolutionary mentor.

Hitler had great respect for Mussolini all his life.

It can only be mined on a large scale, and it is no longer a secret anyway! Hearing Cyric's words, Hitler nodded helplessly: "Yes, we can only exploit Libya's oil, but, on the Italian side, how to explain it?"

Hitler of course also knew that Mussolini handed over the oil exploitation rights to himself very cheaply at that time, and now he will definitely go back on it.

"Then give them a part." Cyric's mind was also very confused: "If we can solve it through negotiation, we can solve it through negotiation. At most, we will share 30% of Italy's oil profits. It is enough for Italy. If Mussolini does not agree, then we have other methods. We will not give up the mining rights, after all, we have mined them.”
