The Third Reich in Desperation

After some rapport, Zhang Chengtian invited Miles to have dinner at a high-end steakhouse run by members of the Gestapo.

During the dinner, Zhang Chengtian let Miles see the open-minded eating of an oriental otaku.Specifically, the steak is roughly cut into several large pieces, and stuffed into the mouth like a duck.

However, compared to Zhang Chengtian's eating appearance, Miles was revealed by Zhang Chengtian, who had just finished eating a whole plate of steak, a news that shocked him even more than his eating appearance.

"What?! There are also large oil fields in Germany!" Miles almost jumped to the dinner table after hearing the news.

As he was cutting the second plate of black pepper steak, Zhang Chengtian revealed to Miles intermittently while holding a large piece of beef in his mouth.

The eager Miles listened for a long time before he could hear clearly that there is a large oil field in Germany in Schleswig-Holstein.It's just that because it was bought relatively deep, it has not been surveyed.

In fact, it is precisely because of the relatively deep burial of this oil field that historically Germany did not build an oil well here until 1980.

However, I happened to travel on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, and passed by Zhang Chengtian, who was on the outskirts of the local oil well factory. After returning to China, I checked the relevant information and wrote down this oil field.

After deciding to join Zhang Chengtian's camp, Miles believed that Zhang Chengtian had no reason to make up this lie to deceive himself, the oil minister.

So Zhang Chengtian brought up this matter now, which shows that he has already gained initial trust in himself, and is ready to entrust him with related tasks.

Thinking that there is an oil field with a stock of more than 5000 million tons in Germany, Myers couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Once Germany has its own large oil fields, while having oil, it also means that more derivative products can be refined, such as diesel, gasoline, plastics and even artificial rubber products!

Now, Germany's strategic resources will become unprecedentedly sufficient.

After finishing the second plate of black pepper steak, Zhang Chengtian decided to change his taste and ordered a filet mignon topped with mushroom sauce.

It's not that Zhang Chengtian doesn't pay as much attention to oil as Miles.It was really because Zhang Chengtian, who used instant noodles for a long time in his previous life, had no resistance in front of steak.

Besides, today's dinner was very late.Originally, when Zhang Chengtian visited Miles, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon, and dinner didn't start until eight o'clock.

So there is a scene where Zhang Chengtian regards steak as more important than oil.

After eating two plates of steak, Zhang Chengtian regained his senses and smiled at Miles with satisfaction: "The good news is more than that. I have secretly detected through reliable channels that the location of the oil field is in Schleswig-Holstein The west coast of the state. We need to drill an oil well about 2000 meters deep for this. I can mark the specific location of the oil field on the map and send it to you tomorrow."

A 2000-meter-deep oil well is obviously much deeper than an ordinary oil well.Miles made some calculations in his mind, if the prospecting was carried out on the entire west coast of Schleswig-Holstein.Not only the success rate is low, but also the cost is huge.But if Zhang Chengtian can really give the specific location, these expenses will be so small that they can be ignored.

Myers, who was a little uncertain, asked cautiously: "Major General, is this information accurate? If the information is wrong, it will not be easy to bear financially..."

Zhang Chengtian looked at the third plate of steak being served, and hurriedly interrupted Miles before the steak was served, "First, I can be sure that the information is accurate. Second, capital is not a problem, and all investments will be paid off." The company is responsible for it." After speaking, Zhang Chengtian impatiently moved his knife and fork to the third plate of steak.

However, just two sentences gave Miles a reassurance.Especially the thought of not needing the oil sector to bear the financial problem, Myers felt unprecedented relief.

Now that all the investment has been borne by someone, the remaining tasks for him are very simple.It is nothing more than sending professionals from some departments to provide relevant technical equipment and do a good job of keeping secrets in the early stage.

Thinking of this, Miles' appetite also increased greatly: "Waiter, serve me another black pepper steak." Miles shouted relaxedly.

When the two finally ate a total of 5 steaks with satisfaction and left the restaurant slowly, Zhang Chengtian jokingly asked Miles: "My dear oil minister, why do you think we have so much oil in reserve?"

The smooth Miles smiled after hearing this: "Of course it's for peace."

"That's right, for the sake of peace." Zhang Chengtian answered meaningfully with a smile.

Text Chapter 46 Bad News

When Zhang Chengtian dragged his exhausted body back to his officer's apartment, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

During this day, Zhang Chengtian first communicated with Hitler and his party for no less than 4 hours with all smiles on his face.Later, I talked with Myers about the future oil reserve plan for 4 hours in detail.

After finally ushering in the rest time, Zhang Chengtian, who had just laid down on the bed, received an emergency call from Sickert: "Come to my office immediately."

"Teacher, it's so late. You also know that I've worked so hard to make many contacts today..." Zhang Chengtian sighed weakly.

"I can't tell you on the phone, anyway, come here right away. I have asked your driver Cole to pick you up." After saying this, Sickert hung up the phone in a hurry.

Zhang Chengtian stared at the phone of "Di, Di" with dark eyes.Sighing, he reluctantly took off the military uniform he had just taken off from the hanger, put it on and walked out the door.

"Here we come." Sickert sat behind his mahogany desk, smoking the cigar that Zhang Chengtian gave him before.

This box of cigars was given by Krupp to Steve who was Zhang Chengtian's deputy when Zhang Chengtian led a team to surround Krupp's manor.

After Zhang Chengtian heard about it, he unreasonably snatched a box from Steve.Used to honor teacher Sickert.

However, since Zhang Chengtian gave Sickert away, he has never seen Sickert smoking a cigar in front of him.But today, the moment Zhang Chengtian pushed open the door of Sickert's office, he noticed the strong aroma of cigars in the room.

Glancing at the ashtray on the table, Zhang Chengtian was surprised to find that Sickert, who is usually strict with himself, had already smoked 5 cigars in the office.

"Teacher, what are you..." Zhang Chengtian asked tentatively.

"President Albert was murdered tonight. They secretly added potassium cyanide to the normal saline that the president injected..." Sickert spoke very quickly about what happened tonight.

Looking at Sickert, who has always been calm, now he is a little angry and out of control.Zhang Chengtian didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only quietly listen to Sickert explain every detail he knew.

A full 20 minutes passed, Sickert calmed down after talking about his feelings, took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Chengtian: "Do you still remember the day when the president called you out of the ward?"

Zhang Chengtian looked at the envelope in Sickert's hand, and asked suspiciously: "Remember, what did your Excellency the President and the teacher say alone at that time?"

Sickert shook his head and said, "The president didn't talk to me about anything. He just asked me to write a letter for him, and asked me to hand the letter to you after he left."

Zhang Chengtian didn't answer, but just took a brand new envelope.

Zhang Chengtian originally misunderstood that Albert left Sickert that day to explain some secret information.But he didn't expect that Albert's purpose was just to leave a letter for himself.

What he didn't even expect was that this letter would be handed over to him so soon.

Zhang Chengtian opened the envelope:

Major General Reinhardt, I don't know how high your rank will be when you read this letter.However, no matter your rank is lieutenant general or general, I hope that you can maintain a clear self-awareness.

In fact, emotionally speaking, I am very optimistic about your future. A leader with almost extraordinary judgment like you is exactly what the German people need.

However, my rationality tells me that the current you are still short of the most important hurdle from my position.

Yes, you have talent and luck, and your almost prophetic talent gives you a lot of choices.

And I also see that you are actually more inclined to choose another path.

You may want to be a wealthy businessman, or even a common man who loves life.

However, what I see is that you have chosen another path, the path of defending your home and country!

I think it's because you also understand that after the Treaty of Versailles there was no real peace, it was just a 30 year armistice!

It is inevitable that war will still break out.You are preparing for this, as you have prepared for every contingency before.

Without equality, the Germans will fight for equality themselves, as we have always done!

As a politician or as a soldier, we cannot tell when a war will start.
