In the rolling yellow sand of Libya, a technician wearing a round sunhat dropped the wrench in his hand on the wooden box at his feet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He squinted at the oil shelf that had been erected in the distance, the shape of which was a little blurry and distorted in the sunlight.

Here is hot Libya, here is barren Libya. Libya in July is definitely a hot place, and every plant and tree here has to endure a heat wave.

"Hey, I said, the Führer thinks that expensive oil can be found in a place like this where birds don't?" The engineer wiped the sweat from his face and complained to those around him.

Despite wearing shorts and the sleeves of their clothes have been rolled up into short sleeves, these experts from Germany still feel that they are sweating hot.

"Don't say it, it's not like you have to ask your subordinates to do whatever you think of. It's been like this since the time of the emperor, the heads of the high-level people...... It's full of pig brains! The other man put his hands behind his back and turned on the taunt mode.

"Shut up! Don't you think it's good enough to go to a labor camp? An old scientist at the head snorted and told everyone to shut up.

It was not only geoscientists and engineers who came here in search of oil, but also many SS soldiers.

Because it was not convenient for the Army to appear in Libya at the moment, Germany took out the SS, not the regular troops of the Wehrmacht.

Although it was an SS, it was more appropriate to call it the SS, because they were not only armed with pikes, but also carried an 88 mm anti-aircraft gun from afar.

Obviously, it was the whimsical head of state who had prepared anti-aircraft weapons for the "oil fields" where not a drop of oil had yet been seen......

"In this area, there are actually three drilling wells working...... I've never seen anyone looking for oil like this. The technicians shook their heads, incredulous.

They are all veterans who have worked in this industry for many years, but this time the Führer's method of finding oil is similar to child's play.

"No one even ignores the preliminary survey, just draw an area and go straight to the drilling platform!" An expert almost scolded the street, because he had just been manipulating machinery to do this kind of work that he thought was useless.

The SS soldiers insisted on drilling here, and even some local laborers began to be ordered to build some wooden houses in preparation for a permanent stay here.

"Could it be that the Führer said that there was gold here, and they believed it, and put more people to find it?" Seeing another drilling well erected in the distance, and a tall steel tower towering into the sky, another expert couldn't help but scold.

The old expert at the head was very calm, he shook his head and said, "If it is gold, there is no need to go so hard to find it...... In today's market, oil is much more expensive than gold. ”

Yes, they came here to find the oil resources that were urgently needed for the war. If it's gold, is it worth it for them to come all the way?

If oil can be found here, then the current situation of oil shortage in the Axis countries will be alleviated, and Romania's fragile single-line supply pressure will also be effectively alleviated.

On the other hand, the march into North Africa became logical, and the importance of North Africa to the Axis powers was self-evident.

As he was talking, in the distance, a line of horses and camels came over in a mighty way.

Supplies from French-occupied Algeria and Italy-occupied Tunisia were delivered.

The French owe Germany a favor this time in the matter of the detachment. Field Marshal Darlan provided some support to the best of his ability for Italian and German operations in North Africa.

For example, some French food and material reserves in Algeria were used to support a small-scale operation in North Africa and Libya to find oil.

The French threw themselves at it, and the Germans accelerated the pace of oil extraction several times over. Because France had stockpiled a set of oil drilling equipment in Algeria at that time, but it did not have time to use it.

Now it was sold to the Germans, and the French, having made a small profit, received a symbolic one percent stake in the Libyan oil fields in return.

"Yesterday just 20 truckloads of food, tents and drinking water, what are you sending today?" Someone looked at the caravan curiously.

Boxes of supplies were unloaded, including parts such as nails used to build houses, as well as parts such as scaffolding.

What's even more gratifying is that vegetables and fresh fruits have been brought in from southern Italy to improve the food here.

Even in Germany, these things are not easy to see, and everyone swallowed at the margarine and canned fish stacked on the edge of the tent.

The people who came here were all skilled in geology and oil drilling, and there were two Jewish engineers who had been pardoned by the Führer.

It is a blessing to be able to come to Libya with just a few escape from the horrific concentration camps.

What's more, working here allows you to eat a variety of cuisines that are already available in limited quantities in Germany.

I have to say that Italians enjoy life very much, so when you work with Italians, it is at least unlikely that you will feel sorry for your stomach.

If there is already an oil field here, then these things are naturally urgently needed, scarce, and precious materials, but the problem is that there is not a drop of oil here yet!

Since July 4, the Germans and Italians have been shipping steel bars and drilling equipment to Libya, and the Italians have been particularly active in securing a 30% share of the oil.

After the British Royal Navy's H Fleet in Gibraltar was heavily damaged, they escorted their own convoys and replenished the North African colonies with a huge amount of supplies in one go.

This was also due to the Luftwaffe's build-up in southern Italy, the battle-hardened German ME-109 fighter jets and bomber units, so that the British planes on the island of Malta had no way to thwart the operation.

The British Air Force on the island of Malta was exhausted, and the Navy was disrupted for a while, so oil exploration in Libya went unusually well.

In other words, Li Le and those who doubted his identity, greedy people and gamblers, were all supporting this operation.

Li Le and those who doubted his identity hoped to prove whether the Führer was the "real Führer" through such a desperate action.

The greedy people hope to find the oil field to become the beneficiary, and the gamblers hope to put their money on the pressure to fight for a good future for themselves or the country.

Thanks to the efforts of so many people, the action was efficient and swift from the start. It's just that everything unfolds so fast that it feels unreal.

"If there is oil here, I will join the Nazi Party, and I will follow the Führer for the rest of my life!" A geologist lifted his hat to cool himself down.

The people around him crowded into the shade, nodded and said, "If the Führer is so divine, I will believe in him as I believe in God." ”

"Uh......h Woo! The sound of a terrible siren echoed in the sky, and several SS soldiers with rifles on their backs looked nervously into the distance.

Some of the officers took off their binoculars and looked in the direction of the alarm, while the noise grew louder and louder.

"Air strikes?" Shielding himself from the sunlight with one hand, the geologist who was still complaining just now asked with a frown and confusion.

Are you kidding? The British are full of food and support to drive the plane to this kind of place where even poisonous snakes don't like to go out?

And then attack the drilling rigs that haven't extracted oil yet? They have this skill, and they are not as efficient as the Italian troops who go to bomb the front line.

In the same way, the air defense here is not weak, there is an Italian anti-aircraft artillery battalion stationed in a small area, and the Germans still have an 88-mm cannon......

If oil were to be extracted here, it would be estimated that this 88mm cannon would become 100, or even 500......

Similarly, if this place really extracts as much oil as Li Le said, there may be as many as 10,000 troops stationed here.

In order to protect this place, hundreds of planes will be concentrated here, and even more planes will be transferred every day!

It's a pity that not a single drop of oil has been extracted here, and the whole plan is kept secret, so it won't appear on the British map at all.

Because, this place has been explored by many people, and it is just a "barren land" with no value at all.

Before his voice could land, someone shouted, "It's the No. 2 oil well!" There is a problem with the No. 2 oil well! ”

"If something happens, isn't this a mess?" A drilling engineer held his hat in one hand and swung back and forth with the other, and quickly rushed out of the shade of the tree and in the direction of the distant siren echoing.

And the sharp and piercing siren did not mean to stop at all, it just kept echoing, as if it did not know tiredness.

"Blowout? Something is really going to happen! "An engineer's nervous hands don't know where to put them.

His words silenced the two dozen engineers and experts standing in the shade of the tree, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

In fact, what everyone is worried about is not a blowout accident, but in this era, in order to find oil fields or drill oil, hundreds of people die is nothing.

But even if it is a catastrophic blowout, what everyone cares about is not the death or injury of the accident, but the deeper meaning of the blowout.

"This, here...... Is there really oil here? One of the youngest apprentices, holding two huge scrolls of drawings, looked into the distance and muttered something that made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

"Hell! Petroleum! An old engineer who was over half a hundred years old screamed and rushed out of the shade of the tree and ran into the distance.
