Within two to three hundred kilometers near the border, if there is any strategic target, it is undoubtedly the Baku oil field.
At the end of the last century, a large oil field was discovered in Baku on the coast of the Caspian Sea, turning the Transcaucasus region south of the Caucasus Mountains into an industrial center.
The Baku Oilfield was first invested and developed by the Swedish Nobel family. After the October Revolution, it was nationalized by the Soviet government. Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the total oil production of more than 8,000 oil wells reached 24 million tons, which was higher than that of Persia.
Romania, Mexico and the Dutch East Indies combined produced more oil.
There is no doubt that Hitler attached great importance to Baku.
In the last two years of the last European War, Germany experienced a serious oil shortage. The only sources of oil were Austria-Hungary and Romania. Ludendorff pointed out at the time that Romanian oil was the top priority, but unfortunately, Romania’s
Oil production capacity had reached its limit and was not enough to change the overall situation of oil shortage in Germany. The British took the lead and occupied Baku in August 1918, which Ludendorff called "a heavy blow to us."
In the first year after Hitler came to power, economic strategy experts pointed out that in the event of war, heavy reliance on crude oil imports would be a key bottleneck restricting Germany's military actions.
The "Kelin Building Plan" formulated under the leadership of Göring in 1937 required that Germany would achieve 11 million tons of oil production by early 1943, but Hitler obviously could not wait for this time. His strategy was to first use reserves
Start a war, and then resolve the sources of oil during the war, the most coveted of which is the Baku oil field.
In the first half of 1938, Germany's oil imports reached their peak, with the largest source being Romania. Although sources outside Europe were cut off after September (in fact, Germany still imported a large amount of oil through the neutral Netherlands), Germany still imported 700 oil that year.
10,000 tons, 200,000 tons more than the previous year.
In May of the following year, when the German army was galloping across France, Germany and Romania signed an oil agreement. Of the 3.1 million tons of oil imported by Germany that year, 980,000 tons came from Romania.
The Netherlands settled 900,000 tons of oil through Germany's external window, and imported 660,000 tons of oil according to the "Soviet-German Trade Agreement."
A year later, Germany's oil imports from Romania increased to 1 million tons, quietly imported 800,000 tons from the Netherlands, and in the first half of the year, imported 290,000 tons from the Soviet Union.
When Hitler swept through Western Europe, the situation in Romania, the most important energy country in Eastern Europe, was in danger. Hungary, Bulgaria and the Soviet Union all made territorial claims to it. The Soviet Union simply sent troops to occupy Bessarabia in July 1939. The Romanian government had no choice but to
, officially announced to join the Axis Powers and "**
After the International Agreement on Romania, Germany's oil dependence on Romania reached 74% that year (the rest was resolved through the Netherlands, which was also a condition for the Netherlands to remain neutral). By the time of Operation Barbarossa the following year, 200
One hundred thousand tons of oil exported to Germany was more valuable than one million Romanian troops participating in the war.
However, Romania's oil is not safe. The largest Ploiesti oil field not only faces the threat of Soviet bombers stationed in Bessarabia and the Crimean Peninsula, but is also very worried about British air power based on the Mediterranean. Sure enough, the Soviet Union
After the war started, Romania's oil fields and refineries were under attack
Soviet bombers taking off from Odessa on the Crimean Peninsula carried out nearly a hundred bombing raids. This was only because the Soviet Union lost more than half of its bombers in the early days of the war. British bombers with this capability were busy fighting in North Africa and attacking France, Belgium and western Germany from home. Therefore,
So far, Romanian oil fields are safe.
When the three or eight years of invasion of Poland, German oil reserves were not sufficient.
Because the British blockade at sea is also aimed at the occupied country, in fact, after 40 German occupation of France, the daily fuels of Norway, Denmark, Belgium, France and other countries have also begun to supply from Germany. What's even worse, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th, 19th.
In June of three or nine years, Mosrini declared war on Britain and France. Since then, the oil pipe of the poor oil country in Italy has also been inserted into the oil barrel in Germany.
If Chinese geological experts discovered large oil fields in Bilia this year, Egypt would then fall into the hands of the German army, and the problem of fuel supply shortage will drag Germany into the bottomless abyss.
In March 1940, the German Economic and Military Affairs Bureau issued a warning that German oil reserve is estimated to be exhausted in October. If it will be in war in the future, the only way to alleviate oil pressure is to use Soviet oil and must quickly capture quickly.
And use the Caucasian oil field. At the same time, it is necessary to capture oil collection equipment before the Soviet Union has completely destroyed, including transportation tools to ensure that production is restored within one month. It will take one month to complete transportation.
The combat and the domestic economy will face serious consequences that cannot be predicted.
At this time, due to Rommel's continuous victory in North Africa and the Middle East, and the Millions of Millions of Army Chen Bing's border, Hitler completed the control of Balkans, North Africa and the Middle East.
Baku, completely solve the problem of fuel supply in Germany.
Unlike the original history, because Germany has added a new Turkish combat cluster, the German team that does not need to overcome the Gaoco Mountain attack. After more than a month after the Soviet War was launched, the Baku Oilfield was fully controlled.
The producing place of oil with 24 million tons of oil is firmly controlled in the hands.
In order to cooperate with the oil in the occupation of Baku, Grozi and other places, Hitler also specially formed the Caucasian Petroleum Division, with more than 24,800 people.
Refinery, transfer oil.
Petroleum mined by the Baku Oilfield is transported to the Pak Tonggang on the east coast of the Black Sea through the oil pipeline, and then transported to the West Bank of the Black Sea by the tanker. It is sent to Germany and Poland through the inland river in the Diming River and the Dieber.
Domestic and Romania, Ukraine's oil pipeline along the Black Sea port, to completely solve the problem of transportation oil.
In addition, nearly one -third of the oil produced by the Baku Oilfield still needs to pass the oil tank trains, from the Eurasian Railway Bridge and the Railway of Gaomasa, Ukraine, and Poland to Germany.
The supply of ammunition has occupied almost all trains that come from south to north, and go east to west.
In a sense, Baku and Badong Port are sitting on the pile of gunpowder. As long as you throw a little Mars, it will cause a severe explosion.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Bakuki City, which is 300 kilometers away from the border line, is shrouded in the glorious autumn.
The entire plain area of the entire Caucgard belongs to the subtropical climate. The average temperature in July is more than 20 degrees, and the average temperature in January is several degrees.
After the German Empire's supreme commissioner in the Caucasus, Heinrich Loser, took care of his official duties, he took a squadron of SS officers and soldiers out of the city toward the southern Gulf, where the main concentration of oil wells was. Every day, Loser had to personally
Go take a look at those oil wells and the kowtow machines that continuously extract oil, feel the power of industry from them, and at the same time fully enjoy the awe of others when they see you during the inspection.
At this time, Loser was very proud of himself. Hitler assigned such an important area to him for management, which fully reflected the trust of the head of state in him. Now Loser is well-dressed and well-fed every day, and the beautiful Caucasian beauties will be replaced almost every once in a while.
, he cherishes the hard-won comfortable life very much, so he works very hard.
Since Baku replaced Tbilisi eight years ago and once again became the capital of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, urban construction here has accelerated. Municipal offices and urban areas where residents live are built on the hills surrounding the bay, and the Soviet-style streets are entirely
It is neat and orderly, with tall buildings and trees lined along the way. The bay at the foot of the mountain is a dense factory area and storage area, with more than fifty large refineries and more than a thousand large oil depots. Along the bay, there are many oil wells.
It can be said to be the most spectacular sight in the world.
In addition, oil development has also promoted the development of Baku's military-industrial enterprises, transportation industry, urban transportation, residential construction, commerce, service industries and other undertakings. At the same time, as the economic center of the Soviet Transcaucasus, the city's machinery manufacturing, metallurgy,
Mining, machine tools, motors, shipbuilding, automobile repair, cement and building materials, fire-fighting equipment, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Light industry has also grown from scratch. The carpet and food industries are quite developed, and the granular black caviar and caviar produced are world-famous.
In a black car in the center of the convoy, Loser leaned on the back seat, turned his head, and looked proudly at the industrial kingdom he managed. Suddenly, SS Captain Thomas sitting next to him pointed to the southeast.
Sky, loudly said: "What is that?"
Loser looked in the direction Thomas pointed and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
In the blue sky, more than a dozen cigar-shaped flying objects were seen flying from the southeast of the Caspian Sea. They trailed long flaming tails, exactly like the broom stars in the legends of Eastern peoples.
It was only then that the air-raid sirens in Baku rang. There was chaos everywhere inside and outside the city. The originally spacious streets were quickly filled with panicked people.
The pot-bellied Heinrich Loser was previously the provincial party leader of Schleswig-Holstein and had no experience in dealing with crisis situations. Although he knew that the situation was not good, he did not know how to deal with it.
He just stared blankly at the broom star getting closer and closer, motionless.
"Bang——"
Just when Loser was in a daze, the first flying object had already crashed down, directly hitting a 10,000-ton oil depot storing gasoline. Huge flames shot into the sky, and billowing smoke covered the sky. The scene was very scary - the splashing
The flames shot up to a height of tens of meters. Agitated by the fierce air current, the flames covered the ground when they fell.
The fire ball containing a large amount of gasoline was hundreds of meters away and hit an oil well directly. The burning gasoline poured on the derrick like water, and a raging fire suddenly ignited. The oil drawn by the oil well spurted out from the oil pipe.
, was sprinkled on the sea, and after being baptized by fire, it began to burn violently on the water surface.
Another flying object hit another oil depot, penetrated the ceiling directly, and then exploded violently.
This oil inventory puts 50,000 tons of gasoline refined by the refinery. I want to throw the fire into the boiling oil pan.
Thousands of times, almost a moment, a rough mushroom cloud rushed to the sky, centered on mushroom clouds, and a violent fire ring spread out quickly.
Become a sea of fire.
Several 10,000 tons of oil depots adjacent to this bomb oil depot have exploded due to high temperature. The severe explosion sound came.
They were all jumping alive, people were crooked, and finally screamed and lay on the ground. They didn't dare to move.
What is more terrible than the earthquake is that the burning gasoline splattered is like a group of flying fire meteors, constantly throwing the fireball into the urban area. It didn't take long for Baku City to smoke four smokes, and various blocks were surrounded by fires.
At this time, Heinrich Rosser, who was afraid to move in the car, finally reacted, and said, "Hurry up, we will rush out before the whole city boils, otherwise we will only wait for death."
In the strenuous explosion and bumps of the earth, Thomas trembled and asked: "What should I do if the burning factory area and warehousing area under the mountain? We should find a way to extinguish the fire!"
Losser pointed at the mountains under the window that had become a sea of fire, and at the same time, from the oil depot, the fire balls that continued to screw the Sifang like a volcanic outbreak, said:
"In this case, how to control the fire? Is there any other significance except for giving death in vain? Today's responsibility is not you and me, but in the Air Force and the air defense forces, they cannot intercept the strange weapons, which causes the situation to be out of control.
Who do you get? Let's go! "
Thomas made a sense of reason and immediately ordered the team to turn.
At this time, a large number of German officials and workers stopped the car and asked to take them out of the city. Losser was worried that the delaying time would affect the city for too long, and ordered the SS to shoot towards the crowd, causing a huge commotion.
Seeing the angry people around the fire, the SS and teams who quickly exhausted the ammunition and surrounded them.
"boom--"
Just when Loresuro was anxious and angry, I didn't know which fuel to fly from a huge fireball. As the fireball burst in the air, the dense gasoline drizzled, and the entire block was ignited.
Surprisingly, the black car he took was surrounded by fire, and then quickly exploded due to high temperature!
There is no corpse!
Not only the city of Baku, but also the same time in the sea of fire. Since the oil depot near the pier was burned by the missile and caused the surrounding oil depot, the entire Pak Tonggang has become a purgatory on earth.
Thousands of tons of burning gasoline leaked from the oil depot were permeated on the west bank of the Black Sea. Many oil tanks were surrounded by fires, which once again caused explosion. The oil and gasoline loaded on the boat flowed into the sea and exacerbated the fire.
From the sea to the port, from the port to the urban area, from the urban area to the east along the oil pipeline, there is a lot of fire everywhere.
The S4 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft using a jet engine descended from an altitude of more than 15,000 meters, faithfully recorded the scene, and transmitted it directly to the Nanhua base camp via satellite.
The computer at the base camp, based on the extent of damage to the ports of Baku and Batumi, calculated when the German army could restore fuel supply. After a series of careful calculations, it finally concluded that it would be difficult to restore within a year!
At the same time, even if the Germans spend huge efforts to repair Baku and Batum, these two places are always under the threat of our missiles, and today's scene can be repeated at any time.
From now on, the ambitious Germany will completely lose Baku's 24 million tons of oil. It can be said that from the beginning of the war against Germany, South China won at the starting line.
...
Germany, Berlin, Reichstag.
After receiving the joint telegram from Rundstedt, Manstein and List, Hitler finally came to his senses after a long silence and became furious:
"Shameless, incompetent, unbelievable! Even the Chinese have mastered the technology of attack rockets, but our scientists are still slowly groping! This is completely a crime against the motherland and the people!
"Also, Canales, Schulenburg, what do your intelligence organizations do? We don't even know that our opponents have secretly developed long-range attack rockets. If we had considered this in advance, we would not have rashly
You have made the decision to go to war, and you must be responsible for everything that happens today!"
Admiral Walter William Canales stood up tremblingly, and looked at Schulenburg, who was also standing and dripping with cold sweat, and then Canales reported:
“My head of state, just as we are researching secret weapons in secret locations, our opponents are also conducting these extremely confidential research in complete secrecy!
"In the past few years, South China's territory has expanded rapidly, spanning seven or eight time zones from west to east, from the equator in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north. Their university towns are spread across Siberia, Central Asia, the subcontinent, the mainland and southwest China.
To monitor such a large area, it is simply impossible to do it with the meager manpower and material resources of our intelligence department!
"Although our German scientists once occupied an important position in the scientific research system of South China, with the rise of anti-Semitism, a large number of Jews left Germany, and the number of our scientists was severely reduced. Therefore, most of the scientists sent to South China were in Sanqi
After returning to China around the time, we knew nothing about the scientific research projects of many scientific research institutions in Nanhua, which is why such mistakes occurred."
Hitler squinted at Canales: "Can you tell me what you have achieved over the years? The intelligence spying on the Soviet Union failed, and the intelligence work on the United Kingdom and the United States also failed. Now even the intelligence work that has grown with our single-handed support has failed."
Nanhua’s intelligence work continues to fail, I really don’t know what you are doing with your precious intelligence funds!”
Canales lowered his head and said nothing.
Schulenburg thought for a while and said: "My head of state, our intelligence agency in Japan has learned that the United States is secretly developing nuclear weapons. Japan has obtained relevant information and is now starting research. I propose to cooperate with Japan.
R&D.”
Hitler was stunned for a moment, then shook his head noncommittally. He walked back and forth a few steps, walked to Milch who had been standing at the conference table, waiting for Hitler's decision, put the torn off collar badge on him with his own hands, and asked:
"Can your air force bomb Nanhua's oil fields on the east coast of the Caspian Sea? Their oil fields are generally about four to five hundred kilometers away from our airport. Our long-range bombers can completely dispatch them and raze them to the ground to avenge today!
"
Marshal Milch still said neither humble nor haughty:
"My head of state, I suspect that South China has mastered another type of rocket weapon for air attack. This weapon can be controlled by radar to attack our fighter planes. Therefore, it is impossible to crack the enemy's unprecedented
Before the means of attack are found, I do not recommend continuing to dispatch the air force!"
When Hitler heard this, he became angry again: "Milch, don't think that I dare not remove you from your post. Now our Baku oil fields and Batumi Port are under attack. If we don't fight back, others will definitely look down on us. As
As the head of the Third Reich, I will never allow this to happen!"
Milch said: "If the so-called counterattack means death, I refuse to carry out it. I think the top priority now is to preserve our strength. This wave of enemy rocket air strikes has caused great losses to our air force. Now we are retreating on the eastern front."
The number of lost fighter planes is estimated to be close to 4,000. This is a very scary figure. If we cannot continue to guarantee our air superiority, future wars will be very difficult for us!"
Hitler calmed down and said discouragedly: "Are we going to have to be beaten passively? Baku and Batumi are already a sea of fire, and the empire's oil supply will soon have major problems. If the enemy's threat is not effectively resolved, the war will
How to sustain it?”
Everyone was silent. Obviously, the series of things that happened today were far beyond their understanding.
Hitler waved his hand: "Let's adjourn the meeting. Let's think about the countermeasures after we go back... Everything today must be kept secret. The ground attack in the evening will proceed as planned... Ribbentrop, you will do it immediately after you go back."
Call the Japanese and say that our air raid was a complete success, and hope that they will continue to work hard to divert the attention of the Chinese in East Asia, do you understand?"
"Yes, my Führer!"
Ribbentrop, the Speaker of the National Assembly, stood up with understanding. He knew very well that in the current situation, Japan could only drag Japan down to share the predicament.
