Chapter 296 Daily Production of 500,000 Barrels

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 take what they need. Japan, on the other hand, wants to invade and destroy China's existing government. This difference between the two sides is almost impossible to reconcile.

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

Make this covenant first and see how the Germans play! Mussolini had made up his mind.

"Then, after signing this agreement, we can provide some technical support to Italy." Cyric continued: "With all due respect, in the last Spanish Civil War, we have found that your armored forces are too backward. ."

This sentence made Mussolini blushed.

I don't know, I'm shocked.

The CV33 tank that Italy has come up with now is just a toy, and the CV35 tank is not good either, all of them are behind!

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

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

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

With German technical support, it's different!

"We can also send some of the backbone of the army into the Italian army to train your tank troops to make them have advanced tactical level, what do you think?" Cyric said.

This was the result of a meeting with Hitler and others before Mussolini came and finally negotiated.

To transform the Italian army, the combat effectiveness of the noodle army is too weak. It is necessary to transform them so that they can really help in future wars, not just for fun.

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 in World War II, only the German army was fighting, and the other armies of the servant countries were all soy sauce!

Now, Germany already has a 40-ton Panther 3 tank, and it is not a big deal 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. Tank out.

Or help Italy to use their existing technology to develop, are all possible. In this way, Germany's hand can also be extended to the field of military research and development in Italy.

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

Now, Germany has shown Italy in every way, so what else can Mussolini say?

"Then, regarding our oil issue," Cyric said: "At the beginning, our agreement, once the oil was released, could be distributed to Italy by 20%. Now, we will increase the ratio and give Italy 100%. Thirty percent, do you think it's acceptable?"

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

In Italy now, the mechanized troops are still very small, and there is almost no shortage of oil. Now they have given so much, it is enough for them.

Moreover, Italy has not provided any funds, it is purely free, so Mussolini knows that he has no possibility of refusing.

When I came, I originally planned to come over to Libya's oil exploration rights, but now, I only got 103% of the oil share, but, if you add other agreements, this trip is still worth it. .

Hitler never said much. After all, Cyric suggested that once Mussolini disagreed, Hitler could change his tune, and once Hitler's proposal was rejected by Mussolini, it would be difficult to change his tune, and Hitler would also It's embarrassing.

Until Mussolini was sent away, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

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

greedy! Libya's oil is entirely produced by its own side. It has cost so much. Now, Italy doesn't have to pay for anything, and automatically enjoys 30% of it. It's just too annoying!

"Now, we can finally let go and extract a lot of Libya's oil." Cyric said: "Within a month, our oil in Libya can reach 500,000 barrels of oil per day, and our oil pipeline, It's built for that output."

Half a million barrels! Hearing this, everyone opened their eyes again.

What kind of data is this? Some data can be compared.

In 1940 in history, Germany had 4.8 million tons of oil and 3.2 million tons of coal products. It can be seen that coal-to-oil is the main energy source in Germany, accounting for almost half of it. Therefore, almost all German The tanks are all 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-made oil. This is already the limit for Germany.

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

One ton of oil is about 7 barrels, and 500,000 barrels is about 70,000 tons. The output in that month is 2.1 million tons, and the output in a year is about 25 million tons!

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

Now, Italy does not have any mining rights, and only enjoys 30% of the oil. Of course, Cyric will not give him the real 30%. Anyway, he does not know how much it produces. It will be given to Italy for one year. One or two million tons is enough for Italy!

Compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States produced 205.91 million tons of oil in 1940, and the Soviet Union produced 33 million tons of oil in 1941.

It can be seen that the United States, which has the deepest foundation, is really not comparable to other countries. However, for Germany, in addition to Libya, there will be Romania, and there will be oil fields all over Europe, including the future Soviet oil fields.

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

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

Of course, the daily output of 500,000 barrels of crude oil is not shocking. This is less than half of Libya's oil production in later generations.

Libya's oil has always been a secret. Except for a very small number of people, other people don't know it at all. Now, when Cyric throws out this number, everyone is extremely excited. Worried!

"We launched all the tankers to transport a large amount of Libyan oil to Germany to try to store enough oil before the war." Cyric continued.

"And after the war?" Goering asked.

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