Chapter 303 The price is too high, absolutely impossible!

After hearing about the power of the super bomb, William looked at Cun Yunsheng in disbelief.

Is this kind of horrific bomb really a weapon that humans can make?

Why does it feel fake?

And he always felt that Cun Yunsheng was fooling him.

After all, this kind of weapon is simply not something that humans can produce.

Thinking of this, William lost all interest and even the passion for discussion.

"What? Mr. William, you don't believe this?" Cun Yunsheng could see that William didn't believe in the super bomb plan at all.

But he was not in a hurry, he had a way to make the other party believe.

"Yes, what you said is really unbelievable. There is no way such a bomb can exist in the world. The 600mm shell is already the largest shell I have ever seen." William shook his head, indicating that he would not believe in such a bomb.

Cun Yunsheng was not surprised by this, because when this bomb was first invented, no one would believe it. It was not until it actually destroyed two cities that the whole world really believed that such a bomb really existed.

"Mr. William, do you have any friends who are interested in physics?" Cun Yunsheng did not explain, but asked about other things.

William was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought for a while. He did have two physics friends, but he hadn't seen them for a long time and even lost contact with them.

"Have you been in contact with the other party during this period, or in the past six months?" Cun Yunsheng continued.

"What do you want to say?" William looked at Cun Yunsheng in confusion and asked.

"Don't you understand? The production of super bombs cannot be separated from these people. Mr. William can go back and learn more about it. Once you understand it clearly, we can discuss it in detail."

"I suggest you hurry up, because according to reliable intelligence, the United States has already begun implementing the super bomb plan and has even reached a critical stage in the research."

"If you keep dragging your feet, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome."

"Also, I'd like to give you a friendly reminder to strengthen the defense of the Vemork heavy water production plant on Mount Baren in Vemork, Norway. If it is destroyed, I'm afraid you won't be able to produce super bombs until you die." Cun Yunsheng kindly reminded.

Hearing this, William was stunned and his face became a little gloomy. The other party actually knew news that he didn't know. It seemed that the organization behind the other party must be very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for them to know such covert intelligence of the German army.

You know, he didn't even know what this heavy water plant was, but the other party knew it.

The other party’s intelligence organization is definitely very powerful, and they even have people among the high-ranking German military officials.

What kind of mysterious organization is this?
Thinking of this, William felt it was really terrible.

After a moment of silence, William spoke.

"General Cun, I know what you said, and I will find out more about it."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's face did not show much expression. He knew that the other party still did not quite believe it in his heart, but it did not matter. He believed that after he understood it, he would come to him again.

But at that time, the cost will be much greater than it is now.

When William took the news back, he realized that the development of the matter was completely different from what he had imagined.

"This is an Italian colony. Even if there is oil in this area, it is not easy to exploit. More importantly, our navy does not have so many warships and cannot provide escort." Ribbentrop looked at William in front of him and shook his head.

Hearing this, William was like an eggplant hit by frost. He had spent a huge price to get this news.

Is this the result?
He was really unwilling.

Just like the scene when he first met Cun Yunsheng, he was full of disdain for Cun Yunsheng's sarcasm, but in his heart he still hoped that the German army could win.

"Don't have that expression. Although it is an Italian colony, there are ways to extract oil." Ribbentrop just felt that it was a bit tricky, but not unsolvable.

After all, everything depends on human efforts.

"Come with me to see Dr. Speer first. I believe he will give you a solution." Ribbentrop said.

William nodded quickly and followed closely behind.

Speer is very busy at the moment. It can be said that there are countless orders waiting for him to complete every day.

Especially after learning that the Soviet army was accumulating strength and preparing for a winter counterattack, the German army was also accumulating strength.

Therefore, during this period, the weapons produced by the factory were sent to the Eastern Front first.

As a result, the current Battle of Malta is not going very smoothly.

Fortunately, after adjustments, production capacity began to increase, and there was enough capacity to support the Battle of Malta.

The situation on the island of Malta, which received support, gradually became smooth.

Apart from the Eastern Front, the biggest gap now is in the North African Corps.

Thanks to the capture of the port of Alexandria, the North African Legion had lived a prosperous life for a period of time.

But after this period of attack, the supply of the North African Corps gradually became a little difficult.

So Speer had to adjust the supply direction, but soon the problem that gave him a headache came again.

That means there is not enough oil.

There was no other way, he could only urge the accelerated updating of coal-to-oil technology.

Coal-to-oil is coal-to-oil after all, and cannot be compared with real petroleum.

Especially last winter, the German army has mentioned more than once whether it is possible to replace gasoline engines with diesel engines?

If the German tanks could be replaced with diesel engines, the failure rate would be greatly reduced.

Didn't Speer know that diesel engines perform many times better than gasoline engines in winter?

Isn't the key issue still about oil?
"Damn oil." Speer cursed as he looked at the document in front of him.

"Dr. Speer, Mr. Ribbentrop is waiting for you in the conference room." At this time, a subordinate came in and reported.

Hearing this, Speer was stunned. Why did this guy look for him?

Is there another problem?
With doubts, Speer came to the meeting room.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, what's the matter?" Speer asked without any hesitation.

"I'm here to help you solve your troubles." Ribbentrop said with a smile.

"Troubles? My headache now is oil. Can you solve it?" Speer thought the other party was joking and said casually.

"Yes, it's oil." In Speer's slightly surprised eyes, Ribbentrop began to signal William to introduce it.

After hearing William's words, Speer's shock was beyond words.

"Is there really oil under this desert?" Speer asked in surprise.

"It should be true. The oil field discovered by Persia last time was based on intelligence provided by the other party. Not only that, the spies arrested before were also provided by the other party. We have cooperated several times. So far, there is no problem with the intelligence." William explained.

"Is that the guy who packed up a bunch of garbage?" Speer remembered that Ribbentrop had found him and asked him to get a batch of industrial equipment, second-hand ones would do.

At that time, he was wondering what these old and second-hand items were used for, but now he understood that they were all used to exchange for intelligence.

Thinking of this, Speer fell into deep thought and began to consider the authenticity of this information.

If it is true, it will have a huge impact on the German army's industrial production. Thinking of this, Speer asked again.

"Can you guarantee it's true?"

"Yes." William answered without hesitation.

Because he felt that it was useless for the other party to deceive him, as so many equipments had not yet been shipped.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, please make an appointment with the Italian ambassador for me. This matter must be discussed with them. This is their colony." For a moment, Speer wanted to leave Italy alone and do it alone.

But reason told him that if he really did that, the relationship between the two sides would definitely break down.

"Yes, Dr. Speer," Ribbentrop said with a smile.

…………

Ribbentrop was very efficient and the two sides met soon.

"Congratulations, Dr. Speer. Your plan has greatly enhanced our industrial strength. Now our production capacity has been greatly improved. We expect that we will be able to launch more warships soon." The flattering tone of Italian Ambassador Papen made Speer look very calm.

There was not even the slightest fluctuation, but he just looked at Baben quietly.

Because this industrial integration also involves Italian shipyards.

So it is normal for the other party to compliment you.

However, the forced integration of Italian shipyards still caused considerable conflicts.

There are also some people who can't stand Speer.

"Mr. Papen, these are what I should do. After all, I have to live up to the decision of the High Command." Speer's light words left the other party speechless.

Ambassador Papen was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Speer.

"Ambassador Papen, I didn't ask you to come here today to discuss these things. The process of integrating the shipyards has caused some minor conflicts, but these are inevitable pains. Now after the integration, the production capacity has been improved."

"I also know that some people are very dissatisfied with my actions, so there is a misunderstanding. In order to resolve this misunderstanding, I will give your country a big gift."

"A big gift?" Papen was stunned.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Speer to say that.

"Oh? I wonder what kind of gift it is?"

"oil!"

"Oil?" Ambassador Papen looked at Speer in surprise, and then said in a sarcastic tone.

"Mr. Speer, did you not sleep well last night? If so, I suggest you go back and get some sleep."

It's no wonder that Ambassador Papen said that. Italy is also a country without oil, and they rely on imports for their oil.

Thanks to the Mediterranean Sea, they will not lack oil.

Of course, it would be very troublesome if the waterway was blocked.

So in recent years, Italy has been continuously expanding the scale of its oil imports.

However, importing oil requires a large amount of foreign exchange, which is also a headache for them.

Especially now that the canal is blocked, Italy is in a difficult situation.

Smuggled oil has also become less common.

Now we can only rely on the little oil reserves before the war to continue fighting.

But if this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, it will be a huge trouble in the future.

Now the other party proposes to solve the oil problem, and it is funny for him to solve it.

Could it be that Italy has oil fields?
This is absolutely impossible.

Speer was indeed a little annoyed by Ambassador Papen's sarcasm, but when he thought that he would need Italy's consent to continue digging the oil field, he had to suppress his anger and spoke.

"Mr. Papen, I'm sure you've heard about the oil fields in Persia some time ago?"

Hearing this, Ambassador Papen was stunned. He suddenly thought of the information sent by the intelligence department not long ago that Persia suddenly discovered a huge oil field.

As a result, not only the Soviet army was attracted, but also the Turkish army joined the battle.

Now the Persian side is fighting fiercely.

The Soviet Army, the Turkish Army, the Persian natives, and the great powers behind them, etc.

All for that oil field.

If Italy could get involved now, they would probably be in trouble too.

Tens of billions of barrels of oil?

This is a huge fortune.

At today's prices, that's tens of billions of dollars.

Who wouldn’t be jealous!
At that time, he was wondering how Persia discovered those oil fields.

You know, the great powers all have their own exploration teams, traveling all over the world just to explore resources.

Now hearing what Speer said, Ambassador Papen suddenly understood.

It turns out that this oil field was given by the German army?
But why did the German army know about this oil field?
"Dr. Speer, how did your country know that there was such a large oil field in Persia? Did your exploration team find it?" Ambassador Papen asked puzzledly.

"This is confidential." Speer smiled but said nothing.

"Oh? Since it is a secret, why doesn't your country develop it itself? It's worth billions." Speaking of billions of marks, even Papen swallowed his saliva.

"This kind of overseas development cannot be defended without a strong navy, not to mention that Germany does not have the strength to defend those minerals now," Speer said lightly.

Originally the other party might have had some doubts, but after hearing this, Papen became even more curious. Could it be that this oil field was really on Italian territory?
If it's true, then I'd really get rich.

"What does your Excellency want?" Papen pondered for a moment. He knew that Speer would not send them a resource map for no reason. He must have some request.

Hearing this, Speer smiled and looked at Papen, causing him to step back slightly.

"Ambassador Papen, my request is very simple. We need a 50% stake in the newly mined oil fields."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Before Speer could finish his words, Papen simply shook his head and refused.

What a joke, taking away 50% of the oil field share in one go, that is absolutely impossible.

"Ambassador Papen, nothing is impossible. In this world, everything has a bargaining chip to measure it. You think it is impossible now, but I haven't told you my bargaining chip yet." Speer dared to offer such a high price only after hearing what William said about the reserves.

"That's right, but I'm curious about how much reserves this oil field has." Ambassador Papen was now becoming more and more curious about how much reserves this oil field had that made Speer say this.

You have to know that this man is extremely powerful now, and the entire industrial capacity of Europe is under his control.
