"Bang! Bang bang!"

In the office of the head of the Third Reich Building, Hitler was furious when he learned that the Romanian oil industrial zone was bombed by the Allied Air Force again, and he was furious and knocked his head straight into the wall.

"First of the People, I understand your sorrow, but please be sure to care for your body. It doesn't matter if a Romanian oil is destroyed. As long as you are with the People's Republic of China, we will always have a solution."

Heinrich and other Nazi officials advised Hitler not to harm himself anymore. Although everyone understood that he had a habit of this, they could not help but stop him when they saw Hitler's exaggerated actions.

Hitler naturally would not really hit the wall himself. He just didn't want to face this because the devastating destruction of the Romanian oil industrial zone would cause the huge German war machine to stop operating within one month. This is obviously a fact that Hitler could not accept.

Through the glass window, Hitler looked northeast and seemed to be able to see a raging fire thousands of kilometers away.

On the Valaqian Plain, all German oil facilities in Romania were concentrated there. With the end of the bombing in the early morning of the 8th, the Valaqian oil area was in flames, more than 1,270 refining units were blown up, and more than 3.8 million tons of crude oil and petrochemical products were incinerated.

Although Germany resumed production in less than a month after the last major air strike, after this major air strike, the volunteer pilots and advanced air fortress strategic bombers who were on the bombing mission, plus the giant bombs weighing one to two tons, as well as the extremely destructive white phosphorus bombs, the entire oil industrial area was completely damaged. In particular, the white phosphorus bomb fragments adhered to invisible corners, and the equipment on the ground could be checked after perforating. After the underground pipelines were corroded, many of them could not be discharged in a short time. Unless the pipelines were rebuilt, it would take at least two years.

During the large air strike in the early morning of the 8th, the Allied Air Force lost a total of 133 bombers, including one H5 bomber, which was shot down. However, all 200 H6 air fortress strategic bombers were not lost, and 6 of them were injured to varying degrees, but they still flew back to the French airport. The British and French Allied Forces Command was very happy with the operation. It highly praised the excellent combat capabilities of the H6 bomber and immediately threw the mood of being extremely entangled to buy expensive H6 bombers.

After that, the British and French Allied Forces Command decided to expand the strategic bomber force. Britain and France tightened their belts to mortgage the remaining gold and silver reserves to the Chinese Empire, with a mortgage amount of 14.4 billion dragon coins, all of which were used to import advanced weapons and equipment and urgently needed war materials from the Chinese Empire, including the additional order of 600 H6n3 series strategic bombers and hundreds of thousands of tons of mass destruction aviation bombs, specifically used to bomb important German military bases and industrial cities.

Just when the Germans were crying loudly because the Romanian oil industrial zone was blown up. Britain and France were secretly happy about it. After the imperial emperor Chenhao, who was holding a royal meeting in the Forbidden City of the Chinese Empire in the east, learned about this, he said directly in front of his ministers: "Hegemony begins with oil and ends with oil. Due to the lack of oil resources, the German tanks will eventually stop moving forward due to lack of fuel."

Wang Chenhao revealed one of the biggest factors that Germany launched a war of aggression.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Song Jiaoren, the new imperial cabinet minister, immediately echoed: "However, before that (the oil is exhausted), Hitler, who was driven crazy, would probably take a risk invading the Soviet oil zone. They might even attack the Middle East oil zone controlled by the empire, because the biggest hands that pinched the Germans' neck were not someone else but us."

In the summer of the 39th year of Guanghua, Tang Shaoyi, former Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet and the highest leader of the CPC, was seriously ill and could not continue to preside over the national affairs. Therefore, Song Jiaoren, the second-ranking figure of the CPC, naturally replaced Tang Shaoyi's position in the party and was nominated by the Imperial Emperor Chenhao, and was promoted to the ruling power as the acting prime minister of the empire.

This year was not a good year for the Chinese Empire. It was not because of the slowdown in economic growth, but because more than a dozen founding heroes of the Chinese Empire had passed away one after another since its founding. In this year, Zhang Feng, Tang Shaoyi, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Ruan Zhongshu, Li Guodong and other important officials, as well as dozens of senior members of the parliament, and many senior local officials in various states and provincial councils also died or returned home due to their old age and physical weakness.

Of course, this was not an emergency. From the 18th year of Guanghua to the 38th year, hundreds of heavyweights from all walks of life in the empire died one after another. Among them, Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, Concubine Gong, Concubine Chen, Concubine Kang, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Li. In particular, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning, Concubine Xian, Concubine Gong, Concubine Kang, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Li. As a princess of the previous dynasty, Concubine Ning inherited the genes that the former royal woman had not survived forty and became the first woman to leave Wang Chenhao. It was a pity that she died young. On September 5, 19th year of Guanghua, the queen who was truly loved by Wang Chenhao, Li Youyi, who returned westward. As a woman born in the old society, Li Youyi was able to live to 60 years old (the average life expectancy of the Chinese Empire was 40.26 years old at that time) was a joyful depression, but for Wang Chenhao, the queen's departure hit him severely. Wang Chenhao felt that he was much older overnight.

It was precisely because of the death of Empress Li Youyi that Guanghua's thirty-nine years was called the saddest year by the officials of the Censorate of the Chinese Empire. So far, Wang Chenhao was only one woman, Concubine Zhuang, who was the youngest among all the concubines, and she was the only one who waited until the opportunity to be named Empress of the Empire.

Until the beginning of Guanghua forty years, the senior leaders of the Chinese Empire had completed a new round of reshuffle. The main reason was that a large number of founding heroes and important officials left the power vacuum. After they were recommended and strictly reviewed by the imperial government's supervision and inspection departments, the new generation of younger generations were able to enter the central system of the empire.

The new generation of leadership collectives basically grew up in the environment after the founding of the Chinese Empire. They were rarely influenced by the old society of the previous dynasties. They were open-minded, advanced, and their educational level was generally above the bachelor's degree. They were a new generation of leadership collectives that met the requirements of the Chinese Empire to continue to prosper.

Most of them are descendants of founding heroes, and they all thrived under the mighty emperor's grace. The loyalty to the royal family and the country is unquestionable, but what they really reassures and happy about Wang Chenhao is that this generation of people has extremely active ideas and has a much stronger grasp of the changes and direction of the world situation than their elders. Just like Song Jiaoren's remarks just now, his views are profound and thorough, far exceeding those of Zhang Feng, Tang Shaoyi, Ruan Zhongshu, Wu Tingfang, Wang Shizhen and others. They cannot reach the level of Song Jiaoren. It can be said that a new generation has replaced the old people, and the younger generation is better than the younger generation.

Song Jiaoren's speech shockedly pointed out that Germany was likely to invade the Soviet Union or even invade the Chinese Empire through military military, just like a huge rock falling into a calm lake. It quickly stirred up huge waves within the empire's supreme ruling group.

If it were twenty years ago, the senior officials of the Chinese Empire might not have paid much attention to the importance of oil to the national economic development and national defense construction, because at that time they paid more attention to the mining and use of coal and steel resources, believing that steel and coal are the country's first life resources. The Chinese Empire's domestic steel production and coal resource reserves are the largest in the world, and Germany's domestic coal resources are also very rich, so they will not think that the Germans challenged the Chinese Empire for the sake of resources.

However, after the 20-year treaty era, the international landscape has undergone tremendous changes. For industrialized countries, oil is not only used to drive war machines to protect themselves, but also to lubricate industrial machines to improve themselves. Therefore, the amount of share in the international oil market often determines whether they are at the top or at the end of the international political food chain. Oil distribution is unfair. Naturally, it is necessary to ignite the fuse of war.

Oil redistribution is mostly the main course on the post-war negotiating table. Because of the rapid development of the Chinese Empire's industry, its dependence on oil and related petrochemicals has far exceeded that of coal. If the Chinese Empire consumed only about 8 million tons of oil every year before World War I, the demand for oil was basically stuck on the empire's huge military power. However, after the rapid development of the treaty era, the Chinese Empire's consumption of oil reached 34 million tons in the 39th year of Guanghua. The role of oil and petrochemicals is no longer a simple demand for military fuel, but instead replaced coal as the empire's largest energy consumption.

During the treaty era, the Chinese Empire launched the Gulf War to force the Caucasus federal diplomatic relations and handed over the Baku oil zone to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, through its control over Turkey, the Chinese Empire expanded its actual control zone in the Persian Gulf, from the initial control of a small Kuwait to meet the oil supply of the Chinese Empire, to the control of the entire Iraqi oil zone and forcing the Persian Empire (Iran), the Saudi Arabian Federation handed over the oil extraction rights of the Persian Gulf coast to the Chinese Empire, allowing the Chinese Empire to achieve its monopoly on the entire Middle East oil zone.

From the Chinese Empire's comprehensive control of the Middle East oil industrial zone, it can be seen that the Chinese Empire's government's attention to oil increased exponentially.

Similarly, in North America, oil in the Gulf of Mexico has become the fundamental reason for the third American-Mexico war between the United States and Mexico. Mexico seized the oil zones of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico during the Second American-Mexico War, thus laying the foundation for Mexico's super-speed development for more than a decade. However, because of this oil zone, the United States took it back through the Third American-Mexico War after Roosevelt came to power.

These all indicate that a keyword - "oil" has been highly valued by various powerful countries.

Faced with the astonishing words from Song Jiaoren, the ministers of the empire thought that he had been exaggerated, and they did not believe that any country in the world dared to challenge the Chinese Empire. But on the other hand, the ministers also understood that Song Jiaoren was not aimless, and with Germany's current state, it was very possible to take risks.

"The Romanian oil zone of the Germans was destroyed, and it would be difficult to recover without a year or two. It can be said that the Germans' domestic oil reserves and refined oil have been supported for less than a month, so it is very likely that the Germans will take risks for oil. I agree with Lord Song."

The new Minister of Internal Affairs Chang Keqin made a statement, but he also disagreed, so he continued: "But I don't think Hitler dares to declare war on the empire. Not to mention that we have strong nuclear strike forces, but conventional military forces alone are not something that the German army can compete with!"

"I also agree with Lord Chang's point of view!" The new Minister of Defense General Zhang Zizhong made a statement at this time. No country's military strength is allowed to exceed the Chinese Empire. This is a compulsory course for the imperial defense minister. Any country that wants to challenge the Chinese Empire's most important forces will be included in the blacklist.

"But!" Zhang Zizhong then changed the subject and said: "Germany is likely to take a risk to attack the Soviet Union, but the premise is that the empire prevents the United States, Colombia and Venezuela from providing oil channels to Germany. Only then will Germany be forced to attack the Soviet Union and obtain oil resources."

"Germany's oil reserves are only enough for its industry and army to operate for one month. During this period, a batch of oil can be seconded from allies such as Italy, Spain, and then with Turkey to buy a batch of oil from the empire. Although the Soviet Union would ask for a huge price, the Germans could tolerate a period of time. 35% of the oil purchased by Germany from the American countries may be destroyed by the Allies. This is how Germany's oil can last for four to five months. If the Romanian oil zone cannot be restored, Germany will make a choice within a month, whether to bow to the empire or choose to invade the Soviet Union by military forces." The new Minister of Finance Wu Zinan rolled his eyes and had already calculated the mathematical probability of Germany taking various actions.

Hu Wenlian, Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, also expressed his opinion, saying: "As one of the world's powers, Germany was forced to go to war from the beginning with the serious lack of this black flammable liquid. As the two strongest Europeans, the competitive relationship between Britain and Germany was fierce as early as the end of the 19th century, and finally decided on the male and female through the First World War. However, the intervention of the empire made Britain and Germany unable to decide the victory or defeat in World War I, and thus failed to resolve the fundamental contradiction between the two sides, which naturally laid the root of World War II. The Middle East, which has the richest oil reserves, was monopolized by the Chinese Empire, thus weakening Germany's ability to challenge the super hegemony of the East, the Chinese Empire. But in order to maintain this competitive situation where they are dominant, Britain and France began a trade war with Germany aimed at blocking oil supply long before Germany launched another war machine."

Song Jiaoren asked, "What are you referring to?"

Hu Wenlian said directly: "It's Romania! Before I entered the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Empire, I was studying oil issues. Romania is the only oil-rich area on the European continent, and will naturally become the focus of competition between the Allies and the Allies."

After Hu Wenlian's analysis, Wang Chenhao and his ministers quickly learned about the role played by Romania in this world war.

The dispute between Britain and Germany based on oil was the most intense in Romania. As an oil-poor country, Germany's oil supply problem was not resolved after World War I. The Chinese Empire has been holding the financial lifeline and was forced to import oil from the Chinese Empire. Before the outbreak of World War II, in addition to Venezuela, Mexico, the Dutch East Indies, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, Romania was the main source of oil in Germany. With the continuous tension in the battle for hegemony between Britain and Germany, most of the oil transmission routes from the Americas to German ports were blocked by the British Navy.

Although the German navy was able to enter the Atlantic Ocean and had an advantage in strength over the British navy. However, Germany lacked overseas military bases. In the case of "name" in the Atlantic Ocean, it also depends on the expression of the Chinese Navy. In fact, the American oil routes were still under the control of the Chinese Empire. After the economic crisis, Germany's relationship with the Chinese Empire took a sharp decline. In order to prevent the Chinese Empire from squeezing the lifeline after the outbreak of the war, Germany had to transfer oil importers and import routes. Therefore, Romania's role in Germany's geopolitical territory became increasingly serious.

Since the Caucasus Baku oil zone was controlled by the Chinese Empire, Romania has been the largest oil-producing country in Europe, and is located at the intersection of Eastern Europe, Central and South-East Europe. It not only provides oil to battlefields across Europe, but also is a must-pass place for the Middle East oil pipeline. It is also an important transit station for the Baghdad-European Railway trunk line of the Chinese Empire. Controlling Romania will undoubtedly change the power of both sides of the war. More importantly, Romania is still an agricultural country, with very low oil extraction and consumption capacity, and foreign capital is the actual master of mines in various parts of the country.

Since Romania was among the Allied countries before World War I, the Allied countries controlled the oil there. Among them, the English-Dutch Petroleum accounted for 39.8%, France accounted for 16.6%, the United States accounted for 12.5%, the Chinese Empire accounted for 8%, and Romania accounted for only 1.7%.

In fact, since the First World War, the oil offensive and defense between Britain and Germany in Romania has never stopped. In November 1916, the German army invaded the Wallaqian Plain and seized all the Romanian oil facilities. The UK immediately sent agents to infiltrate the country, successfully destroying more than 70 refining units and burning more than 800,000 tons of crude oil and oil products. Although Germany resumed production for five months afterwards, the output has never returned to its original level.

Germany listed Romanian oil reserves as an important part of its war preparations. Because the latter provided at least one-third of Germany's total oil consumption. In order to economically control Romania, Germany's Faben Chemical Company purchased 17 million marks of grain from the Ronaldo side and also provided 13.6 million marks of industrial products. The trade volume soared from 1.096 million dragon coins in 1934 to 300 million dragon coins in 1937. In exchange, Germany asked Romania to increase oil exports to Germany and proposed to use arms to offset oil costs. The following year, Germany also provided 250 million marks of mark loans to the Ronaldo side to purchase the German fire. The two countries also established the DROK Joint Company, which mainly operates oil according to the German motion.

The British obviously do not want to see the cooperation between the two countries of Drona, because Romanian oil will not only make the Germanic sword sharper, but also the carefully planned economic war against Germany will be ruined. In London's view, "if Germany controls Romania, then Britain's economic war will not cause any damage to Germany, and economic war is an important part of the British strategy." In order to prevent Romania from falling to Germany, British Prime Minister Chamberlain announced that he would provide all assistance when Romania was invaded and gave the Romanian side a loan of 5 million pounds to purchase British **, and also agreed to purchase 200,000 tons of wheat as a reward for making the Romanian side give up cooperation with Germany.

Because Romania strictly adhered to neutrality and was unwilling to provoke strong countries, he could only lie with London and Berlin and not offend both. Britain began to take advantage of its economic advantages and induce Ronaldinho to move closer to its own side through economic and trade methods. It joined forces with France and prepared to pay 60 million dragon coins to Romania on the condition that it would blow up Romanian oil fields, but was rejected by the Ronaldinho. Britain used its own capital to control most of Romania's oil mining rights, and imported large amounts of Ronaldinho oil in the early stages of the outbreak of World War II, and raised prices, so that it mainly flowed to other Western countries with relatively sufficient foreign exchange.

All the oil stocks in Romania were snapped up by the UK. The UK also booked oil supply contracts for the second half of the year and the oil supply rights after the contract expired, and rented all barges and train cars in Romania as much as possible to avoid being used to transport and sell oil to Germany. Soon, 148 different types of tankers in the Danube Basin were leased by the British, who even had to set up Grand Company to centrally manage these ships that were not very useful for the time being.

The British oil purchase policy hit Germany a big blow. Germany suffered from the deterioration of relations with the Chinese Empire (international settlements were mainly dragon coins), and the amount of oil imported from Romania dropped sharply from 70,000 tons in October 1937 to 60,000 tons in November. In September 1938, the crude oil imported from Germany was only 10,000 tons, while those sold to Britain and France were 255,000 tons and 106,000 tons respectively. British Prime Minister Chamberlain even proudly declared in a letter to his sister, "I have a premonition that the war will end by (1939). ... There is no need to defeat them on the battlefield, just let the Germans understand whether they can win, and it is not worth it to continue to become increasingly poor and poor."

The British blockade in the oil supply field forced the German General Staff to take some control when formulating combat plans. At the beginning of the war, as Germany's oil reserves quickly dropped from 2.4 million tons to 1.6 million tons, the German army never dared to take the initiative to launch large-scale air combat and bombing against Britain, France and other countries because its fuel inventory was seriously insufficient and it was only enough to launch a land attack on the Western Front. If we do not actively counterattack the energy wars of Britain, France and other countries, Germany will not only fail to win the war, but will even end its industrialization process.

The Germans first put pressure on Romania. If the Romans continue to let the energy wars against Britain and France go to the point where they can't rule out the possibility of attacking them. The outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war also helped Germany. Romania was afraid that it would become the next target of the Soviet Union and was eager to obtain German-style equipment from defenders, so it began to break the "neutrality" and turn to Germany. At the end of 1938, Romanian Prime Minister Tatanescu promised Germany that under any circumstances, it would guarantee that no less than 150,000 tons of oil would be sold to Germany every month, on the condition that the other side would supply it with weapons.

The surrender of Romania not only did not receive pressure from Germany, but instead increased its strength again. The following spring, Germany threatened to stop supplying weapons and demanded that Romania supply oil to it below the market price. Romania exchanged 200,000 tons of oil for the arms seized by Germany from Poland. With Germany's victory on the Western Front, the Romanian king even forced the national oil companies at home and abroad to provide 250,000 to 300,000 tons of oil to Germany every month. But Germany was still not satisfied. In the end, it sent troops to directly occupy the Romanian oil zone and forced the Romanian king to join the Allies Group.

The Soviet Union was another strategic gap in Germany's energy blockade in Britain and France. In August 1937, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty. That year, Germany obtained 900,000 tons of oil from the Soviet Union. The war entered its second year. Soviet oil reached two-thirds of Germany's total imports that year. Not only that, the Soviet Union also helped Germany purchase necessary strategic materials from third countries.

"According to statistics, by the end of the 39th year of Guanghua, the raw materials obtained through the Soviet Union reached 246,972 tons."

When Hu Wenlian used his analysis of oil to judge the war situation in European countries, Mark Ming, director of the Imperial CIA, added.

Hu Wenlian continued: "The cooperation between Britain and France and Germany and the Soviet Union was booming. After the Soviet army invaded Finland, Britain first stopped trade with the Soviet Union and prepared to join forces with France to cut off the Soviet oil supply to Germany. In March last year, Britain and France planned to attack the Caucasus oil fields in the south of the Soviet Union. French Army General Mo Ganlin said, "If bombing can destroy these resources, it will not only cause Germany to lose the Soviet oil supply, but the Soviet Union itself is also in a dangerous situation of lack of oil."

"I can confirm this!" said Zhang Zizhong, the Minister of Defense. "British and France asked Turkey to provide air bases for the British and French air forces, but this plan was eventually rejected by the Turkish military because of the strong opposition from the Emperor's side. The British and French plan was immediately put on hold."

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "This matter was stopped by my order. We must not let Britain and France interfere in Turkey. What's more, in addition to the Soviet oil fields, the Baku oil area under the control of the empire is also nearby. Britain and France cannot know that a lot of Soviet oil was also imported from the empire and then resold to the Germans at a higher price. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the British and French Air Force will blow up the Baku oil area."

Song Jiaoren asked: "Your Majesty's concerns are reasonable! If it were us, we would also 'by-step' blow up the Baku oil area. At that time, it would only be a misunderstanding, and at most it would be compensated. But for Germany, it would be equivalent to cutting off a considerable portion of the oil source, and the negative impact on the entire battle situation is self-evident."

The oil shortage not only forced Germany to reshape its relations with Romania and the Soviet Union, and with a pragmatic attitude, "meet with the Soviet Union with a smile and forget their grudges" thus creating energy conditions for the Western Front war, but also changed the German army's combat mode during World War II. The high-energy-consuming long-term offensive and defensive war was basically abandoned, and energy-saving "blitzkrieg" characterized by rapid raids became the main choice. In addition, the combat targets were no longer limited to siege cities and land grabs, and more oil major cities and logistics bases were marked on the combat map of the German General Staff.

Hu Wenlian said: "According to the Imperial Statistics Bureau, the German Army and Air Force raided Poland. Because of the rapid combat and short war, the total consumption of about 155,000 tons of oil was consumed, of which 100,000 tons were consumed on the Polish battlefield, achieving the goal of occupying the country with low energy consumption. The German army attacked Norway, Denmark and launched the Western European battle, using less than 500,000 tons of oil. In addition, the daily consumption in the first four months of the year was less than 300,000 tons. Since the war started, Germany has consumed less than 1.5 million tons, which is only a quarter of the 5 million tons of oil it estimated to have to spend. This does not include the German army plundered no less than 1.5 million tons of oil from all over Europe. These oil alone are enough to make up for the previous war consumption."

Wang Chenhao laughed and said, "So the Germans wanted to defeat France quickly and quickly. In order to maintain the balance of Europe, the empire had to fully support France and Britain, so that they would sell all their advanced weapons and equipment to the Allies."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone remembered it and was immediately impressed by Wang Chenhao's far-sighted strategic decisions, with admiration on their faces.

Song Jiaoren said at this time: "The blitzkrieg cannot offset the negative impact of the oil shortage on the progress of the war. Since oil has become the key to victory or defeat in the war, Hitler had to let his army advance along the oil mine veins and abandon a more strategic approach."

Hu Wenlian nodded and said, "So, according to my estimate, Germany's total oil consumption this year will reach 10,000 tons, and the annual oil source of the Romanian oil fields controlled by the Romanian oil fields is only about 12 million tons. This is like a drop in the bucket for German tanks attacking from all sides. Moreover, the air strike of the British and French air force caused a fatal blow to the Romanian oil fields. Germany's gasoline reserves are only about 800,000 tons. If a high-intensity battle is fought, it can only meet the consumption of one month. Germany will either cease to fight with Britain and France. Or it will have to invade the Soviet Union with all its bets. Of course, it can also kneel down to the empire and beg the empire to sell oil to them."

Song Jiaoren said: "With the help of the empire, France has stabilized the situation. At present, on the battlefield on the Western Front, the German army has not taken any further steps forward. The Italian and Spanish army are not worth worrying and cannot cause a fatal blow to the French army. Then the balance of Europe seems to have appeared. Will the empire open up oil exports to Germany at this time? This will be a huge income!"

For oil exports, no one knows better than Hu Wenlian the huge profits of oil and petrochemical products during the war, which is no less than the huge profits obtained from exporting arms. So he immediately replied: "Report to your Majesty, I have made an estimate that if Germany turns to import oil from the Empire, it will inevitably lead to oil from Italy, Spain, Bulgaria and other allies import oil from the Empire, and then at least an additional 30 million tons of oil exports will be obtained every year. Based on the price of 15 dragon coins per barrel, it will make a profit of 27 billion dragon coins per year. If we control it properly, reduce crude oil exports and increase the export of refined oil, especially military high-performance fuel oil, we can earn at least 40 billion dragon coins per year. If the Second World War is fought for a few more years...hehe..."

At this point, Hu Wenlian couldn't help but laugh. Although his expression was a little xx (you know), it was undoubtedly all in the hearts of everyone.

Wang Chenhao looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After whispering for a while, they immediately said to Wang Chenhao in unison: "I'm here to discuss it!"

Wang Chenhao nodded and said to Song Jiaoren: "Since there is no objection, then Song Qing family, you are responsible for handling this matter!"

Song Jiaoren quickly bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Zhang Zizhong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, is it going to block the Atlantic Ocean and completely ban oil from the Americas to Europe?"

Wang Chenhao looked at everyone, and everyone laughed at each other. Zhang Zizhong understood and couldn't help laughing.

The debauchery laughter in the Qinzheng Hall was known to be recognized by the internationally disgusting laughter in history many years later. Because these laughters delayed the entire process of World War II for several years, Europe's wealth was ruthlessly plundered, and the pockets of the Chinese Empire became bulging. The direct consequence was that the average wealth level of the entire Western world was left behind by the Chinese Empire for 20 years.

For Germany, the loss of the Romanian oil industrial zone was only beginning. The United Kingdom-France Joint Air Force relied on the powerful air fortress strategic bombers provided by the Chinese Empire. Since the air strike against Romania, Britain and France have taken stimulants. On the one hand, they paid for the import of H6 strategic bombers from the Chinese Empire, and on the other hand, they maintained high-intensity and continuous large-scale bombing on Germany.

In less than a month, Germany "every important oil factory was air strike at least twice, more than 200 refineries, tens of thousands of storage equipment and various liquid fuel factories were also air strikes." Most of Germany's huge war machines stopped due to insufficient fuel supply, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Germany.

In February 1940, General Harris was appointed commander of the British bomber force. As the commander of the bomber force, he made great achievements in strategic bombing against Germany and was known as one of the best air force commanders in modern history. His bombing combat ideas were mainly to carry out thorough concentrated bombing of large cities with urban bombing (area bombing). While destroying various facilities, he defeated the morale of the enemy's citizens. He investigated the bombing of Coventry by the German Air Force from the night of November 14 to 15, 1939, and had clear confidence in the amount of bomb drops and attack style necessary to completely destroy a certain area.

After March, the British Air Force's bombing method changed from the previous revolving attacks on targets to the method of concentrating a large number of bombers as much as possible to bomb large-scale targets (cities) in a short period of time. The initial target was the German city as large as Coventry (a harbor located at the western end of the Baltic Sea in northern Germany). The British called this bombing method "area bombing". Since then until the end of World War II, the British Air Force has been using this bombing method.

On the night of March 28, 1940, the British Air Force dispatched 200 to 300 H6 strategic bombers and threw about 2,000 tons of white phosphorus incendiary bombs, blasting bombs and gasoline incendiary bombs at the city of Lüberk. From April 24 to 27, the city of Rostock was bombed in the same way. The bombing effect was judged based on aerial reconnaissance. As General Harris expected, the damage to these two cities and the casualties caused to citizens were very amazing compared to previous bombings of German cities. However, the British Air Force was prosecuted by the International Human Rights Commission and was charged with crimes against humanity, because these two major bombings killed more than 600,000 civilians and millions were homeless.

But at this time, the League of Nations had already died in name only, and the Chinese Empire was also very clear that it could not stop the British Air Force's behavior, and even refused to mention that the bombers equipped by the British Air Force were made in China and other sensitive topics.

In order to crack down on Germany as much as possible, the British government no longer cared about any crimes against humanity. In Churchill's words, "If I win the war, crimes against humanity will become just an act of protecting world peace. If I lose, not only will there be crimes against humanity, but more crimes will be placed on my head."

The winner is the king, the loser is the thief. This is the law of human survival and a fact that can never be changed.

As a result, the British Air Force became even more unscrupulous.

On the night of May 31, the British Air Force dispatched more than 1,000 bombers to bomb the city of Cologne, the beginning of a fierce strategic bombing on the German mainland. The bombing that night sent 430 H6 strategic bombers and 1,300 H5 tactical bombers, and more than 10,000 tons of bombs were dropped within 90 minutes. In early June, the British Air Force dispatched 1,000 bombers to bomb Essen and Bremen, the central cities of the Ruhr area. Most other German cities and industrial areas were also subjected to large-scale area bombing under the guidance of combat ideas of area bombing.

During this period, the British Air Force learned the large-scale bombing tactics of the Romanian oil zone from the Imperial Air Force, and used the "guided" aircraft combat method for the first time. The key point was to dispatch several guided aircraft to fly in front of the large group of bombers, and use flares as bombers to mark the bombing area. Due to this combat method, night bombing achieved extremely significant results.

In a few months, the British Air Force bombed Germany more than 1,000 times, of which more than 17 were dropped bombs of more than 1,000 tons.

Regarding the unscrupulousness of the British Air Force, the Luftwaffe retaliated for the slaughter and dispatched a large number of fighter jets to intercept. However, on the one hand, the most advanced fighter jets in Germany were defeated by the Chinese-built J-10 fighter jets equipped by the British and French Air Forces. On the other hand, even if it broke through the blockade of the J-10 fighter jets, it was difficult for German fighter jets to shoot them down in the face of the H6 air fortress strategic bomber armed to the teeth.

During the bombing operation for several months, the United Kingdom and France's joint air force only lost 7 H6 bombers and 131 H5 bombers. Of course, the bombers produced by Britain and France were shot down the most, with losses of up to more than 2,000.

Due to the damage to the Romanian oil zone, the Luftwaffe's fuel consumption had to be controlled, which largely led to the Luftwaffe's fear of stagnating air for a long time and pursuing enemy planes, which led to the Luftwaffe's resilience and the British and French air forces being unscrupulous and arrogant.

But the British Air Force was only arrogant for those few months. Soon, Germany, who was desperate, chose to surrender to the Chinese Empire. Hitler ordered Germany and the alliance to prohibit anyone from engaging in anti-Chinese activities in any way. Germany handed over the reserves of only 700 tons of gold and 120,000 tons of silver to the Chinese Empire in exchange for the mortgage of imported oil and petrochemical products from the Chinese Empire.

For Germany, the much-needed refined oil was quickly obtained from the Chinese Empire, causing Germany's huge war machine to run again.
