Historically, when the navy was preparing for the aircraft carrier count Zeppelin, it also planned two carrier based aircraft.

Among them, the model improved by Massey Schmidt is BF 109t, which increases the wing area and improves the lift. The wing is lengthened by 60cm. A hinge is installed outside the middle gun, which can be folded up. A landing hook is installed on the belly in front of the tail wheel, a catapult connection point is installed near the front wheel, and the corresponding structure is strengthened.

In addition to this shipborne fighter, another shipborne bomber, Stuka, has modified the folding wing on the basis of Ju 87B, equipped with catapult contact, landing hook and landing gear for emergency forced landing on the water, becoming a shipborne aircraft that can be used on the aircraft carrier.

Now, due to Goering's rude lack of cooperation, it is impossible for the BF109 to get on the ship. With this opportunity, Shrek developed the fw190, which fully meets the needs of the Navy. Moreover, it has been modified compared with this aircraft in history, focusing on increasing oil reserves and becoming a long-range fighter.

However, the navy is still short of attack aircraft.

He51 is certainly unable to adapt to the future war. In fact, if xierik is allowed to choose, xierik would prefer hs129 with the title of tank opener. Unfortunately, this aircraft is still in the stage of scheme demonstration.

On the battlefield in Spain, pilots tested the effect of ground attack. The conclusion is that air to ground attack is effective even if there is no bomb and air gun attack. However, the aircraft should add additional protection and become a flying tank.

Now it's just a scheme demonstration. It's still a long time before the prototype manufacturing is really mature. After all, hs129 in history was developed under the stimulation of yi-2.

Therefore, Stuka is a good choice to equip aircraft carriers with attack aircraft, especially when carrying bombs to attack ships.

Now that Goering has put it forward, of course Shrek won't refuse.

"Well, I'm glad to see that our navy and air force can work together to make new contributions to our national defense." Said Shrek.

Goering was very upset. Now, in terms of military rank, Shrek can't compare with Goering. However, in terms of his position in the party, Shrek has ranked second, and he is almost the successor designated by Hitler!

Therefore, although Herrick's tone annoyed Goering, Goering could only accept it passively.

"Great head of state, I have to remind you that although our army is growing stronger day by day, our advanced mechanized army needs a lot of fuel as the basis. However, now, our fuel reserve has always been in the position of the lowest warning line."

After finishing his inspection of the Navy and returning to Berlin, Albert Speer gave a serious warning at the first meeting attended by Chirac.

Since he became the equipment Minister of the Empire under the proposal of chirek, Speer immediately gave full play to his expertise. In a short time, he doubled almost all aspects of German weapons production! This is a remarkable achievement!

Now, Germany doesn't have to worry about mineral resources for the time being. Through cooperation with the Soviet Union a few years ago, Germany has obtained a mountain of ores that can be used for at least 40 years.

At the same time, there are mineral resources after conquering Austria and various minerals in Spain. In a short time, the problem of minerals can not be considered.

However, the problem of energy is imminent.

Germany's oil production is very small. Even after getting Austria, plus Austria's oil, it is far from enough for Germany's spending.

The war in Spain showed the combat power of mechanized forces. Now, in the German army, infantry divisions are constantly transformed into armored divisions, and they all need more oil.

At the same time, the Navy and air force also need oil. Now, the oil problem is quite serious.

It can be said that although Germany has a large number of equipment, once it enters the state of war and Germany's oil supply is cut off, all Germany's existing equipment will become scrap iron, and Germany's oil reserves can't support it for half a month.

Oil, this black gold, is the basis of all advanced equipment!

Hearing Speer's warning, Hitler looked at Shrek.

Libya has a large amount of oil, which is still a secret. At the top, no more than five people know it!

Over the years, the Libyan engineering team has been staying in Libya, all of whom are the most loyal personnel. As long as Berlin sends a message, it can reach the daily level of 10000 barrels of crude oil in a week and 100000 barrels in a month! In this way, a Libya is enough to support the whole German war machine!

After all, over the years, the engineering teams have drilled all the oil wells in Libya. There are 12 super large oil fields with a total proven reserves of more than 1 billion barrels, and many of them are quite easy to exploit!

Moreover, over the years, the oil pipeline has been paved in the desert of Libya. It can be said that it is waiting for the day when the stone is broken!

Now, Germany is short of crude oil, and Libya has enough oil to support Germany to win the whole world War II!

What should I do? Do it now?

The temptation was too strong. Even Shrek took a long time to control the temptation. He calmly said to Hitler, "our secret can't be exposed yet."

No exposure, no exposure until France! When the French are defeated, after gaining control of the Mediterranean, they can be transported by land. From Libya, across the Mediterranean to Spain, from Spain to France, they can be transported to Germany!

Although the sea can also be transported directly from Libia to the port in northern Germany, it needs to master the sea power in the eastern Atlantic, that is, after landing in Britain!

The oil fields there can only be used after the war. Now, No. Moreover, now Italy is still the big brother. If you know that there is endless oil there, you will certainly tear up the original agreement and deny that it has been given to Germany.

So, how to solve Germany's current dilemma?

"I thought of two ways." "First, use our rich gold reserves to defeat Britain and France and expand our share of oil imports from Romania," Chirac said

"Second, we import large quantities from the Soviet Union!"
