Imperial Overlord

This issue is very important, too important to ignore and insurmountable.

When future generations sum up the experience and lessons of their predecessors, they will express some of their own views and opinions.

For example: XX rifle is good, we should mass-produce this weapon! XX tanks are good, why don't they produce 5,000 more?

Now comes the question, if you know that a certain weapon is very good, you must have money to produce it, or is there a way for someone to produce it for you?

Everyone knows that if you double the number of troops in your hand and double the purchase of new equipment, you may have a better chance of winning the war.

The problem is that simply doubling the size is not something that can be solved by just talking about it.

Leaving aside the production capacity, another crucial point is: what stimulus do you use to get your subordinates to activate the reserved production capacity?

What Li Le gave made everyone very happy, because what he promised was the part of giving benefits.

It's very refreshing to make promises like this, as if you were a city leader, you promised to build more roads, you promised to build more buildings, you promised better air quality and more jobs...

Hearing these promises, of course everyone supports you and thinks you are a good person. But at the end you add: So I'm going to charge 300 percent tax, that's another story.

Therefore, Li Le can't let the economic sector of the empire increase taxes, the so-called open source is basically impossible.

The trick that Schacht played on behalf of the Third Reich, which was similar to cheating loans, basically destroyed the fragile economy of the Third Reich.

Many people know that this kind of mutual lending that writes checks and then goes out of the economic category, eventually someone has to pay for the government's credit.

At least after the war, the government should give enough convenience and benefits to the early investors to repay the economic problems left by the previous loan production.

To put it simply, Germany has been borrowing money to produce weapons and then repaying it after the war is won.

Under this model, it is of course impossible for the capitalists to produce materials at full capacity, because they have not seen real money and silver, and of course the power is insufficient.

Later, they had to start production at full capacity. On the one hand, the previous investment had to be recovered because the war was unfavorable, and on the other hand, it was forced to do so by the opponent.

Speaking of throttling in the other direction of the economy...Li Le, a maniac for military expansion who spends money like flowing water, throttling or something is completely a joke.

"My Führer, what you promise now is very attractive." Goering raised his concerns.

He looked at Li Le and asked, "You promised the army new rifles and more tanks, and you promised the air force more fighter jets. The navy is also working hard to build submarine ships... But Fuehrer, where does the money come from?"

Goering's question represented the doubts of everyone present. They all wanted to know how the Führer, who only spent money but never made money, kept his economy at a level that would not collapse.

You must know that although Schacht's pre-war economy was playing well, he has now become an opponent of the Third Reich's policy and has been imprisoned in 1939.

To expect a financial genius of the same type to conjure a large sum of money out of nothing in Germany may be an idea similar to the Arabian Nights.

In the eyes of Goebbels and others, they would rather believe that tomorrow, Germany will produce an atomic bomb to change the situation of the whole world, rather than believe that the Führer can improve Germany's financial situation.

In the same way, Li Le himself knows this. Many of his empty promises are based entirely on the Libyan oil field.

In the head of the new plan, once the Libyan oil fields are found, then the German economy will be recharged.

Just like conquering a colony or leveling a country, finding new resources on the original land is also extremely good news.

If this discovery can be described as amazing, then it would be even better. Investment and development can drive many people crazy, and output can fill the economic gap.

Obviously, the oil field in Libya is a piece of good news that can make people crazy: this oil field is enough for Germany to squander into the next century, and it can be obtained without paying too much price.

Compared with Baku, which is far away, this place is a real benefit right in front of you.

And Ribbentrop, whom he sent, lived up to expectations and got back the Italian cooperation agreement on Libyan oil exploration.

In this agreement, it is stipulated that Italy has a 20% share of oil exploration and the power to increase the share to 30% later.

At the same time, the agreement also stipulates that Germany has the right to invest in oil pipelines and road construction in Libya, in exchange for projects including factory technology patents and German concessions and support on the Balkans issue.

In the eyes of Italians, Libya is basically an oil-poor country, where it is very lucky to be able to collect a small amount of oil, and it is impossible to make any major discoveries.

They didn't make this judgment out of thin air, because they searched for 10 years in the barren mountains and ridges there. During the whole 10 years, they spent a lot of money and got nothing at all.

Therefore, the Italian technical department and high-level officials believe that the Germans will be like them, unable to find any trace of oil.

In a prudent manner, they asked for a 20% share of the oil, and they asked for a whole bunch of benefits.

But in Li Le's view, these demands are nothing compared to Libya's huge oil interests.

He simply gave the entire oil field to the German capitalists, or in other words, he gave it to Li Le for nothing!

"Gentlemen! We have a lot of expenses, and we are preparing for a war against the British." Li Le received the news from Ribbentrop yesterday, so he now feels that he is a rich man.

Now, it is not too much to describe Li Le as being rich and powerful. Although these riches are nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, almost half of such wealth will be distributed to German factories and entrepreneurs to pay the upfront debt owed by the government.

As the fake head of state of Germany, Li Le knows that Libya not only has oil, but also is a super oil country with the ninth largest oil reserves in the world!

The entire Libyan territory holds about 41 billion barrels of oil, which is enough for Germany to win one world war and even participate in the next one.

And about eight CDs of these oil reserves are gathered in the northern Siirt Basin, where the mining distance is close and the transportation is very convenient...

What's even more exciting is that this oil is very easy to extract and very cheap - which means that Germany only needs to invest a small amount of equipment to get what it wants there.

Finally, I have to mention that these oils are high-quality oils with extremely low sulfur content, allowing Germany to obtain higher-quality refined oils.

But don't underestimate the quality of oil. During World War II, due to the lack of oil quality, the performance of Germany's engines as a whole was more than 20% lower than that of its opponents.

This data is already too big to make people desperate. If it weren't for the high level of precision machining in Germany, the gap might have widened to 30% or more.

Imagine how speechless the sadness is when engineers are racking their brains to deal with inferior fuel, but the other party can easily come up with better performance equipment.

"My intelligence channel confirmed that a huge oil field was discovered in Libya." Li Le said with a proud face, giving an answer that almost made everyone laugh.

"I...my head of state...you know, this kind of thing is not a gamble." Goebbels hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

Goering also shook his head: "Führer, are you kidding me? The Italians have been searching for oil in Libya for ten years and have yet to find it. They even claim that there must be no more oil there. UU www.uukanshu.com"

Himmler was even more unconvinced: the Führer's intelligence system? What a joke, the Führer actually has an intelligence system that the SS doesn't know about? Did the intelligence system of the Wehrmacht have a discovery?

Afterwards, Himmler denied his idea. With the attitude of the group of senior generals of the Wehrmacht, expecting them to work together with the Fuhrer to share intelligence information is almost as difficult as a sow climbing a tree.

As the leader of the SS, he never knew that the German intelligence system would cover everything related to oil exploration.

"Yesterday, I sent an oil exploration team to Libya. They will go directly to the location I gave to explore. I think I will get the results I want by the end of this month." Li Le is still very optimistic, said He spoke with confidence.

Will there be news at the end of the month? The end of July? Everyone started to think again: the head of state is so sure that there is oil there, could it be that the information is true?

If it is a trick or a cake to satisfy one's hunger, then this so-called Libyan oil field must be a good hope that cannot be found within a year.

However, if the date of the last discovery is fixed, the authenticity can be improved by more than a star and a half.

Could it be that the head of state has really found an oil field? An oil field that could relieve the economic strain of an entire empire? Everyone thought involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, Li Le threw out an even more shocking data: "And I also know that this oil field in Libya is not small, about 4 billion tons..."

"I have arranged the mining equipment, and a lot of skilled workers have been dispatched." Li Le smiled and asked a question that made everyone nervous: "Then, now the question is, are you interested? , do some energy investments?"
