"Schacht, Brauchitsch, please report to me the data on the reserves of strategic materials. I am busy taking over Czechoslovakia these days, and Dongfang Xingsheng still has a lot of business to deal with, and I am too busy. "Akado stretched his waist and said.

He has not closed his eyes for two consecutive days, even in his prime, he still feels very overwhelmed, even though the work secretary Syndra arranges most of the time reasonably for Akado, but because of too many affairs, Akado Still lack of sleep time.

Sometimes Akado himself felt very sad for those poor emperors, especially those famous emperors who did everything by themselves. While grabbing more power, they were bound to give up a lot of their own time—those who fell in love while His majesty the emperor who can solve two strange cases while traveling in mountains and rivers, and possesses peerless martial arts and can beat ten with a fan is really not an ordinary person.

Take Akado himself as an example, his best shooting record is Qihuan. Although he is very determined to practice his personal ability, he is still defeated by the increasingly tight schedule up. Because his personal force value is really not on the table, the SS Führer's Guard responsible for protecting his personal safety now has as many as 700 people, and they are under the command of Anna and Geer.

"My head of state, Merkel, has been very successful in Italy, and Italy has agreed to join us as an ally in our "Axis of Germany, Italy, and West". Half a month ago, economically, we signed the "Oil Energy Transportation Agreement." Schacht proudly introduced: "This allows us to use the ports in the Mediterranean Sea more efficiently and is protected by the Italian Navy."

He handed Accardo a form filled with various data: "We will share 5% of the oil transported to Italian ports as a benefit to Italy, so that the disguised transport troops of the Wehrmacht can Go unimpeded."

"After Mussolini got the benefits, he got almost 100% support in the country, so he is also very optimistic about the cooperation plan with us." He pointed to the final statistics on the form and said to Akado : "In the past half month, because of the shortened voyage and reduced shipping costs, we rushed to transport 200,000 barrels of oil."

Brauchitsch continued: "My head of state, the Wehrmacht reserves 5.1 million barrels of oil and about 750,000 tons of gasoline. According to your order, the Navy's 70 Hercules-class transport ships are continuously transporting oil to Italy."

"The gray wolf sent back news that the British battlecruiser Hood and the battleship King George V are heading to Egypt with several cruisers. It seems that the British have finally begun to guard against us. They want to control the Suez Canal .” Gascoll followed up with the report: “Intelligence shows that

The top British officials realized that we were rushing to send oil to the country. "

"The U-121 submarine in charge of reconnaissance in the southern part of the British mainland also sent news. They saw the fleet and confirmed the news that the fleet was going south." Raeder pointed to the Mediterranean flag hanging on the blackboard on one side. Map: "The navy is powerless to stop the British, not even capable of demonstrating."

"Italy will not use the navy to turn against the British for this kind of thing. They will ask the British for certain benefits, and then ignore the division of our oil share in the Middle East." Akado sighed and said: "Mussory Nee will certainly do so, there is no doubt about that.”

"In addition to the oil stored by the military, my country's civilian oil reserves are about 7.9 million barrels, and gasoline reserves are almost 1.6 million tons. Mr. Bosch's Farben can also provide a certain amount of synthetic gasoline as a supplement every month." Shah "It looks like right now, if oil imports are cut off, then at best we can maintain a normal supply of oil for about a year," Te continued.

"Our investment in Romania has made some progress. This month, because we occupied Czechoslovakia, we obtained the inland border with Romania. So we can import part of the oil from Romania. But this depends on what the Soviets want , after all, they have a considerable right to speak there." Akado said helplessly: "This may solve some of the urgent needs."

"Far water can't quench near thirst, my head of state." Shakht shook his head and said: "In the next two years, Romania's oil imports will not be able to meet our development needs, so my suggestion is, head of state, you visit the UK in person and would like to There is a way to stabilize the source of oil from Saudi Arabia.”

"It's too late, with the French adding fuel and vinegar, Britain must do something this time to stabilize its allies. And the British themselves need to take a look at what we promised and our performance on the battlefield Already." Akado shook his head: "They are 'forcing' us to put pressure on the Soviet Union and even turn our backs."

Akado picked up the document with a strong smile and took a look, then threw the document back on the desk: "There is no way to do it. The slogan we put out is anti-Soviet communism. On this point, we have nothing to do with Their interests are the same, that's why the UK watched us make small moves under the nose of France. Since we have reaped benefits, it is normal for them to look at our actual actions now."

"Then what should we do now?" General Brauchitsch frowned and asked: "The oil reserves now are only enough for us to launch a large-scale attack operation. Once we launch a war, the dominance will fall on the UK." And in the hands of the French! This is something we don't want to see."

"First of all, mobilize other transport ships and do everything possible to grab oil resources from Saudi Arabia! Ship as much oil as possible to Italy." Akado thought for a while and said: "All transport ships near the Mediterranean Sea will be cancelled. Holidays, unload all the goods to Italy! I would rather be cheaper than Mussolini, and not leave it to Britain and France."

He thought for a while and then continued: "Secondly, plant explosives in the oil factories we control! If the British and French snatch them, they will be blasted and destroyed immediately! It is necessary to make them unable to use these oil production equipment in a short time .”

"My head of state, once the oil equipment is exploded, isn't that an indirect turn against Britain and France? The National Defense Forces are not yet ready for a full-scale war! In this way, we will be passive. Once the war is lost, everything will be over. " Brauchitsch said eagerly.

"We are not ready, nor are the British and the French! Everyone is on the same level." Accardo waved his hand: "I prepared a whole set of drawings and documents for the Siegfried Line of Defense for the French intelligence personnel, and I hired a lot of people on the German-French border, built more than a dozen underground ammunition depots, and a large number of oil depots. These are proofs that the Siegfried Line of Defense is unbreakable."

After Akado finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the huge map of Europe, pointed to Poland, and said in a firm tone: "So, in the next stage, our main goal is here! Once we take action, then Britain and France will let their guard down. At that time, they will be patient and give us a batch of oil and supplies."

"This is not easy, my head of state." Gaskol said behind Akado: "Poland has signed an alliance with Britain and France. If we attack Poland, it will definitely cause a rebound from Britain and France. By then At that time, we will directly fall into the harsh situation of fighting on two fronts."

"Moreover, Poland is the sphere of influence of the Soviets. Although Poland is still politically inclined to Britain and France, it is indeed a barrier for the Soviets to prevent European powers from advancing eastward." Naval Commander Raeder said: "If we rush to If Poland strikes, it will also cause a lot of hostility in the Soviet Union, and if we fail, we will really be doomed."

"The Soviets, hand it over to Merkel! I want to sign a secret treaty with the Soviet Union, and use this treaty to resolve the Soviets' hostility!" Akado said confidently: "I want to give the Soviets A reassurance! Let them willingly erase Poland from the map of Europe!"

"And what the National Defense Force has to do." Akado paused, looked at the main generals in the conference room, and then smiled and said: "That is to double the number of troops we have now! Before the expansion plan to the east is implemented, I want to have an army of 2 million! Upgrade all the squad leaders and platoon leaders in your hands to one level. If there is really no way to provide jobs, get them to serve in the SS! Take their Training methods and combat thinking are popularized in the minds of every soldier!"

Looking at the stunned generals, he felt a sense of accomplishment: "Gentlemen! Winning the Spanish Civil War is nothing at all! The glory of the German nation can only be achieved by stepping on the blood of the enemy step by step. It is enough for you to follow me forward! Today's meeting ends here! Ladies and gentlemen! I will go to Congress to give a speech later, a speech on comprehensive military expansion!"

"Long live the Führer!" Schacht, Raeder, and Gasker stood at attention and saluted.

"I will do my best, my head of state!" Brauchitsch seemed a little cautious, he slowly raised his right hand, and performed a not-so-standard German salute.

Akado took the black pure leather windbreaker handed over by Anna, put it on his slightly thin shoulders, walked towards the door, and said as he walked: "I hope that on the road to victory, you will not Get thrown farther and farther away from me."
