The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"Mr. Philip, I don't understand why you are so persistent. There is no way there can be oil here. It is impossible for oil to be produced on this barren land."A black uncle said to the man in front of him.

He is a guide, responsible for leading the exploration team. After all, it is easy to get lost in the desert without familiar people.

As for why he advised the other party not to be persistent, it was because there was no way there could be oil on this land. After all, he had lived here for decades, and there was very little water. How could there be oil?

But he was paid a high salary and it was difficult to refuse. He could only persuade him tactfully. However, this group of D countrymen were too persistent and seemed not to give up until they found it.

Just because of a map? And then they were sure that there would be an oil field here? How is this possible?

After all, Argentina is a French colony. If there was oil, it would have been taken by France long ago. The Westerners have occupied it, so why are we waiting for them to come and exploit it?

Before the Battle of London, Arlia belonged to Free France. After the war, the Governor of Arlia immediately announced that Vichy France was pro-French and the only country in France, and declared his allegiance.

When the German and French fleets were heading to the Tuscan Peninsula, they dropped an infantry division of the D Army in Arlia in order to protect the oil that was about to be mined.

But no one believed that there would be oil here. How could there be oil in such a barren place?

If oil was really so easy to find, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? Although Uncle Hei didn’t know much about military affairs, he knew that battleships, airplanes, and tanks all required a lot of fuel.

"Sir, I have lived here for nearly 30 years. There have been more than a dozen exploration teams that have come here to look for minerals, but they have never discovered an oil field."Uncle Hei continued to explain.

"No, this time it is a secret map given by our Majesty, and I believe there must be an oil field."Philip, the leader of the team, shook his head and said firmly.

The empire is now too short of oil. If a large oil field is really discovered, it will cause a great sensation. At that time, the empire will be able to produce weapons at full capacity, and the people will be able to drive their Beetle cars on the streets again, and the empire's economy will take off again.

And those vassal states that choose to join the empire will firmly follow the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor will become the emperor of all Europe and the greatest emperor in German history.

For this purpose, he must find the oil field.

"But……"Uncle Hei once again advised

"Needless to say, notify all workers to increase their wages by 50%, and there will be a generous bonus when oil is produced."Philip waved his hand and turned to his deputy.

"Yes! I'll let them know right away." The assistant replied immediately.

When the guide Hei Shu heard that all the workers' wages would be increased by 50%, he was envious. Fortunately, Philip did not disappoint him and said immediately:"Don't worry, when we find the oil field, we will also increase your bonus by 50%!"

"Thank you, Mr. Philip, you are such a good man."Uncle Hei said excitedly

"No, please thank the great emperor"

"Yes, thank you, His Majesty the Great Emperor." Uncle Hei said respectfully.

On the other side, a soldier from the 199th Infantry Division of the D Army, who was in charge of guarding, looked at the workers working hard not far away and said unconfidently:"Do you think oil can really be extracted from this kind of sand?"

"Humph, if there is sand in this place, I will retire and buy a large piece of desert, and do nothing but mine oil."A captain officer next to him said disdainfully.

Hearing the officer's words, everyone smiled. Yes, if there is oil in this place, it is better to retire and explore for oil, so that you can easily become a millionaire.

"Maybe it has been mined? After all, this is the map given by His Majesty the Emperor."The soldier said uncertainly

"How can it be mined? This is sandy land, and even water is scarce, so how can there be oil? The captain still didn't believe it.

"I really don't know what the division commander was thinking. He actually agreed to come to this damn place. What's so good about defending this piece of sand?"

Many people nodded in agreement with the captain's complaint.

They joined the army to fight in the battlefield, not to be a garrison division. It would be embarrassing to say that.

Just as they were about to say something, there was a noise from the workers drilling in the distance.

Then, a pungent smell came from the air!

The smell of oil!

The drilling machine finally produced a puff of oil gas when it reached one thousand meters in the coastal area of Aliya.

Everyone showed excitement when they smelled the smell.

"God? This really produces oil?"

"Oh my god, Captain, you are not really going to retire, are you? I heard that your superiors are going to promote you to be the battalion commander."

"That little bit of retirement money can't buy you much desert."

"Hahaha, Captain, why are you silent?"

"Damn it, we actually found oil? Doesn't this mean that we may have a battle next?"The captain came back to his senses and said excitedly, as for retiring, that was just bragging. He finally got into the military academy and became a captain. He was just one step away from becoming a colonel. Only a fool would choose to retire.

At this time, the entire exploration team cheered, and everyone was celebrating this great moment. For a moment, the local French people forgot that they were once enemies.

The flames of burning oil gas from the drilling pipe illuminated everyone's face.

"My God, Mr. Philip, you really struck oil, you are amazing."Uncle Hei said in shock.

"Now, you should believe it." Philip still kept smiling, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed him.

‘My God, if what is on the map is true, then the oil field reserves reach hundreds of millions of tons, which is enough for the empire.

Of course, he would not say this. Once he said it, it would definitely lead to a new round of war. The Allies would definitely blow up this oil field at all costs.

He must report this news to His Majesty the Emperor and ask them to send more troops and planes to protect this oil field.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a large oil field in Arlia. It's incredible. How did those guys from Country D find it?"In Paris, France, President Pétain looked at the telegram in his hand and said in shock.

In front of him were the cabinet members, who were also shocked by the news. Tens of billions of barrels of oil, such a terrifying reserve, shocked everyone.

This means that they don't have to worry about oil for at least ten years, and they can even revive the stagnant economy.

After so many years of fighting, the Third Reich has squeezed them a lot in order to collect oil, so the share of oil in the civilian market is very low, and basically there are no cars on the streets.

Now that such a large oil field has been discovered, if we can get a share of it, it will be a huge revival for the entire national economy.

After all, oil is the lifeblood of a country's industry. Without it, nothing can be started.

"It is said that the map was given by August."The officer in charge of intelligence said respectfully

"August? That kid? I didn't expect he really has the demeanor of Frederick the Great."President Pétain shook his head and said

"This is forcing us to make a choice."After a long time, President Pétain said bitterly.

Hearing this, the other cabinet members also frowned. Those who can sit in this position are not fools, and naturally understand the intention of Country D to reveal this news to them.

This is to let them choose, whether to choose to be a fence-sitter or to stand firmly on the side of the Third Reich.

The recent issuance of the euro in France has not been smooth, and many departments have secretly resisted, resulting in poor circulation in the market.

Of course, these would never have happened without the instruction of President Pétain, but now the German army has sent out the trump card of oil, which makes President Pétain very embarrassed.

To be honest, he does not want to participate in the war.

It is very good for both sides to keep in touch.

If the Allies win, they still have Free France.

If the German army wins, he is the leader of Vichy France.

Therefore, no matter which side wins, France will still be a powerful country in the world after the war.

But the other party is not a fool. If you don't agree, then the oil fields will have nothing to do with you, and France wants to rise again. It is absolutely impossible to rise without the injection of fresh blood.

"Mr. President, the British Empire has lost, and we should make a choice. Even our neighbor Spain has made a choice."A cabinet member couldn't help asking

"It’s time to make a choice." President Petain murmured.

At this moment, Secretary���He walked in from outside and said to the president,"Mr. President, Ribbentrop is here and hopes to meet you."

Hearing this, President Pétain nodded expressionlessly and said,"Please let him in."

Soon, Ribbentrop came to the president's office with his secretary. To be honest, this was not his first time here, but he still felt unfamiliar.

This time he brought sincerity, 30% of the oil share, and I believe this old man in his seventies would not refuse.

"Mr. President."Ribbentrop still said respectfully

"Excuse me, sir. We are old friends."President Pétain was old but energetic, and said with a smile.

Ribbentrop looked around and was slightly surprised to find that all the cabinet members were there, but he quickly recovered his expression and said with a smile:"President Pétain, our leader hopes that your country will declare its participation in the war."

"You know, we have already declared neutrality and will not join any war."President Pétain said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ribbentrop immediately said:"Mr. President, all declarations can be broken, don't you think? This is the sincerity of our leader."

Ribbentrop didn't waste time talking to him, and immediately took out a contract and handed it over.

After President Pétain took the contract, he took a look and found that it clearly stated that 30% of the oil fields in Arlia would be transferred. His face changed and his breathing became a little rapid.

He naturally knew that the newly discovered oil fields in Arlia had almost tens of billions of barrels. According to the 30% share, at least 3 billion barrels of oil would belong to them, which would greatly stimulate their economy and even build another aircraft carrier battle group.

"Thirty percent is a bit low, you took 70 percent."President Pétain chuckled.

"Not low, there is still 20% from Italy."Ribbentrop also said with a smile.

President Pétain naturally understood the situation in Italy. He originally thought that the German army would swallow it all directly, but he didn't expect that they would support a pro-German person to take power.

‘This 20% oil share is a sign of sincerity, and it is also a motivation for the Italian army to continue fighting. '

The old and sophisticated President Pétain naturally understood what Ribbentrop meant, and immediately sighed and said,"Your Majesty the Emperor is really amazing, and everything has been calculated. He really can't be underestimated."

"Mr. President, the information you received is actually not accurate. The oil fields in Arlia are not just 10 billion barrels, but 30 billion barrels. A 30% share is almost 10 billion barrels. This sincerity is not low."Ribbentrop said with a smile. It is absolutely impossible to impress this old fox without sufficient interests, and I believe he will definitely be tempted by 10 billion barrels of oil.

Sure enough, when hearing about the 30 billion barrels of oil reserves, President Pétain's breathing became much faster, and the other cabinet members were also excited.

With these 10 billion barrels of oil, the navy will definitely be able to restore its former glory, the army will also get more tanks, and the people will have more cars. The glory of France will be restored again.

"It's really very touching. Your emperor is so courageous that he gave away 10 billion barrels of oil so easily."President Pétain smiled bitterly. If it were him, he would never make such a choice.

"I agree. Soon, France will officially join the war and fully support the Third Reich to defeat all enemies. All naval fleets will be under your command."President Pétain was not a hesitant person and said immediately:

"This will be a wise decision. Let us build the glory of the ancient Roman Empire together." Ribbentrop said respectfully.
