Chapter 345
Germany owes a lot of money to the American capitalists. In fact, Germany can repay this money. After all, there are 600 tons of gold in Spain, so it doesn't matter how much foreign debt.
However, it is absolutely impossible to repay the money so happily. After all, in this world, it is the uncle who owes money, and it is good to repay the interest on time.
But now, Germany paid back Rockefeller's money all at once, using oil shares to pay off the debt.
Only 5% of the oil shares, of course, will not affect them much. They are just dividends. Libyan Oil's various affairs are naturally the major shareholder, and Munich Oil has the final say.
However, 5 percent of the oil shares were enough for Rockefeller to make enough profits.
What is this for? Of course to protect the Libyan oil fields.
Now, Germany really does not have the ability to take care of the Libyan oil fields. The war has just begun. Mussolini is still looking above his head. He looks like a revolutionary leader. He doesn't take Germany seriously until Germany conquers it. In France, Mussolini would lower his profile and become a younger brother.
In Libya, Germany has not been able to send more troops in the past, and Germany does not have this capability for the time being. The number of Luftwaffe fighters is quite large, but there are other uses.
Well, if the British had an air strike to blow up the Libyan oil fields, it would be a no-brainer.
Germany now has enough strategic crude oil reserves. It can be said that it is enough not only to fight Poland, but also to turn around to fight France. However, the oil base in Libya is still very important. The oil fields in Libya will take at least a month to resume production.
How to protect Libya's oil fields? If you can't send a strong air force there to protect it, then think of other ways.
For example, pulling Americans into the car.
If American capitalists also have shares in Libyan oil fields, would the British dare to bomb? If the British bombed the Libyan oil field, it would be strangling the American capitalists, and the Americans would definitely protest the British seriously!
What can be solved by military means can be solved by military means, and what cannot be solved by military means can be solved by political and economic means.
Giving Rockefeller a 5% stake would be able to protect the entire oil field in Libya and allow Germany to take over the European continent with confidence. It would definitely be a good deal.
Of course, it is impossible for Americans to get on the bus all the time. After all, the United States and Britain wear a pair of trousers in the end, but it can be delayed as long as possible. Once Germany solves the problems in Europe, are you afraid that it will not be free?
At that time, not only Libya, but the whole of North Africa will be Germany's sphere of influence. Those big oil fields in the Middle East must also fall under the control of Germany.
On the train, Cyric reached an oil agreement with the Americans, and for the British and the French, problems one by one were placed in front of them.
Time does not stop.
If Germany still does not stop before 11:00, then Britain will declare war on Germany!
And now, the news he received made Chamberlain unable to calm down.
Cyric, went to the Congress and gave a speech, declaring that Germany had entered a state of war, that is to say, Germany did not urinate Britain and France at all, and the threat of war by Britain and France was a fart to Germany!
At 11 o'clock, it arrived like this, the Germans did not stop, and the latest news received by the United Kingdom was that Cyric took the train and went to the Eastern Front to inspect the battle.
This is simply provoking the bottom line of Britain and France. Every time Hitler's provocation, it was this Cyric who made suggestions, and now that Hitler is gone, this Cyric has come to power, and he is going further and further on the road of provocation.
How to do?
Declare war on Germany immediately?
"Blindly appeasement is no way out. We must let the Germans know our attitude and declare war on Germany!" On the side, as a guest secretary, Churchill's attitude at this time was resolute: "Immediately in Paris, France, hold a military parade. , Immediately take off fighter planes and bomb the oil bases in Libya!"
"This defeated country in World War I still wants to jump out. We want to beat them back to the prototype in the early stage of their war!"
Chamberlain nodded. He had already discovered his mistake. Since Germany's appetite could not be fed, let the Germans know how powerful they are with war!
After all, Britain and France are both old-fashioned countries, and, most importantly, the British have never been beaten in history.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, latest news." At this moment, the diplomat hurried in.
The latest news, is it the situation in Poland?
"The Rockefeller Oil Company, and Germany's Munich Oil Company, have reached an agreement to acquire Munich Oil Company's five percent stake in Libya."
"What?" Now, it was everyone's turn to be shocked.
Damn, these Americans, what a mess!
Churchill was also angry, and his fist slammed on the table next to him: "These hateful capitalists don't care about the peace of the whole world!"
The bombing of oil bases in Libya is to teach the Germans a profound lesson, to let the Germans know that this world is dominated by Britain and France, and that the German mechanized troops will be unable to move even without oil.
Moreover, the subtle thing is that Libya is not the homeland of Germany. Therefore, after the United Kingdom declared war on Germany, coming to Libya at once can serve as a deep warning and will not expand the incident.
After all, the United Kingdom really doesn't want to fight. It is enough to use this bombing operation to teach Germany a lesson and let Germany stop.
But what about now?
Americans, at such a time, actually intervened!
Libya's oil is owned by the United States. At this time, how can the United Kingdom fight?
Everyone was angry, everyone was helpless, and even the matter of declaring war on Germany was forgotten by them.
Not the time.
Americans, what's your attitude?
If we really want to fight a world war, it must depend on the attitude of the United States, and now, the United States seems to be ambiguous.
Everyone present knows that it is not so easy to draw Americans in. In the United States, isolationism has always been prevalent, and just a few years ago, the United States just passed a neutrality bill.
The Neutrality Act of 1935 banned U.S. citizens from selling arms to belligerents in international wars. But the bill does not prohibit the trade in raw materials such as steel and oil.
So, in February 1936, the Neutrality Law of 1936 was passed, closing the loopholes in the Neutrality Law of 1935, prohibiting war raw materials and granting loans and accounting to belligerent countries.
But now, American businessmen have not violated the regulations. They are not borrowing money, they are asking for money, and they are not exporting oil, but oil dividends. Germany's card is really beautiful!
