After the beginning of the second industrial revolution, petroleum, also known as crude oil, this dark brown viscous liquid gradually became an indispensable item for the development of various countries. However, countries later discovered that almost 80% of the crude oil output was
They were first controlled by the Far East Group, so they could only make good friends with the Far East Group on the one hand, and on the other hand, they began to look for crude oil everywhere, but in the end they couldn't find much.
According to historical records, the first oil wells were indeed drilled by the great Chinese. The earliest oil wells appeared in the 4th century, or earlier. The Chinese began to use drill bits fixed on one end of bamboo poles to drill wells. The final depth was about
It reaches about one thousand meters. After obtaining the oil, the oil was burned to evaporate the salt and make edible salt. In the 10th century, bamboo poles were used as pipes to connect the oil wells and salt wells.
While foreign countries call oil "black gold", "devil's sweat beads", "glowing water", etc., China calls it "stone fat water", "fierce fire oil", "stone paint" and so on.
In the early 8th century, the streets of newly built Baghdad began to be paved with asphalt obtained from natural open-pit oil mines nearby. In the 9th century, the oil fields in Baku, Azerbaijan, were used to produce light oil. From the 10th to the 13th century, Marco Polo worked in the Baku oil fields.
Extract hundreds of shiploads of oil.
But today, 90% of the world's oil transportation relies on the Far East Group. Countries that want to obtain oil cannot do without the Far East Group. Although the Far East Group has never increased prices, with the rise of the entire oil industry of the Far East Group
The improvement of transportation capabilities and transportation capabilities have become the decision makers of new energy.
So when the Far East Group began to sanction fascist Germany, Italy, and Japan, they also took active action, because in the face of an economic crisis, even powerful countries cannot withstand being washed away over and over again. The phenomenon of this economic crisis can be
It was different from before and after World War I.
Of course, there are some common points among them, such as domestic goods being unsaleable and commodity profits greatly reduced, which ultimately led to a sharp decline in industrial production, a large increase in domestic unemployment, and a large number of companies starting to close down due to insufficient operating capacity. In the end, the productivity and products of many countries were severely affected.
Serious damage and losses were followed by social and economic paralysis, chaos, and regression.
The decline in production and the surge in unemployment are the main common points of economic crises before and after any war. The difference between pre-war and post-war is mainly in the monetary and financial aspects. Generally, in pre-war crises, deflation and falling prices will occur.
When money begins to tighten, interest rates will rise, and banks will eventually close in large numbers due to runs. In the post-war crisis, state monopoly capitalism adopted expansionary policies, and for some other reasons, major capitalist countries experienced inflation during the crisis.
, an abnormal phenomenon of rising prices.
But the main manifestations are still a large surplus of goods, stagnant sales, a sharp decline in production, insufficient operation of enterprises and closures, and a sharp increase in the number of unemployed workers. Enterprises have insufficient capital turnover, coupled with a shortage of money, rising interest rates, and the rise of interest rates in various countries.
The credit system was severely damaged, and banks eventually had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
As a result, major capitalist countries, after the emergence of economic crises, first addressed production stagnation and inflation, two major phenomena that occurred at the same time.
Without the oil supply from the Far East Group, fascist Germany and Italy could only turn to other European countries. Because they wanted to declare war with the Far East Group, they were not strong enough yet and did not dare to do so. So in the Far East Group, Germany and Italy
In the third month after Japan implemented the blockade, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy held the Munich Conference. This time, Britain and France finally betrayed Czechoslovakia for their own interests and signed an agreement to cede Czechoslovakia to
German Agreement.
Why did Germany and Italy, which clearly wanted to negotiate with Britain and France, finally let Britain and France cede their territories?
Why was Czechoslovakia, which was located in the center of Europe and had an important strategic location, abandoned by Britain and France?
Because as early as after Nazi Germany came to power, it formulated a military plan to invade Czechoslovakia. However, in the face of Nazi Germany's expansion ambitions, the British and French governments weakly pursued appeasement policies in an attempt to sacrifice Czechoslovakia.
The national interests of the Czech Republic will direct the spearhead of German aggression to the east, hoping that this can ease their conflicts with Germany, and finally maintain their own security and stay out of it.
To achieve this goal, Britain and France agreed to cede the Sudetenland to fascist Germany through talks. France and Britain were consistent on this point. After Britain and France jointly sent a note to the Czechoslovak government, the suppressed Czechoslovakia
They could only accept Germany's unreasonable demand for the cession of the Sudetenland, but this allowed Germany's blackmail to escalate.
The British and French governments also raised new issues under strong pressure. Britain, France and Germany signed a joint declaration, declaring that they would never engage in war with each other.
Later, Nazi Germany also signed a secret agreement with Russia in Moscow, the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact. But did this solve the fundamental problem?
No, the person who is most concerned about the developments in Europe is naturally Li Ningyu. He knows that after the oil blockade, the fascists will jump out immediately, because they can't wait any longer. If they wait any longer, their tanks and tanks will
, Aircrafts and ships will eventually become a pile of scrap metal because there is no oil energy, so they are about to start the most primitive method, that is, invasion, invasion, invasion!
So at the end of August 1909, the fascist German army began to invade Poland. The next day after the incident, the British and French governments, who discovered that they had been tricked by Germany, demanded that Nazi Germany withdraw from Polish territory within a 48-hour deadline. However, fascist Germany simply did not
Not listening to the warnings of Britain and France, Britain and France finally declared war on Germany on September 3, 1909, and World War II was on the verge of an all-out outbreak.
But countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and Japan have forgotten that this world is no longer the world it used to be. Now they can fight if they want to. All this requires Li Ningyu's consent.
Because fighting not only requires money, but also resources. If there are no resources or supplies, we will fight with whatever we can!
Even if there are no planes, tanks, or warships, every country needs production machines and transportation. The internal combustion engine of a train needs oil to run. Without fuel, the train is just a decoration. All machines that require oil are just decorations, but
Fascist Germany, Italy, and little Japan also had their own ways of getting oil, and their way was to rob it.
