Imperial Overlord

However, Li Le can no longer care about Britain at this time. In fact, as the greatest head of state in Germany's history, he has almost overdrawn his credit and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although the discovery of the Libyan oil field has boosted the already deformed Axis economy, it is not a panacea.

Although it gave Li Le capital, he could continue to overdraft and use Germany's economic chariot by promising future benefits.

But in the end, this kind of good news did not reflect the reality. The day when Libyan oil fields can really subsidize the Axis powers is far from here.

In fact, Germany is still overdrawing the national war-ready oil reserves before the war, and the phenomenon of making ends meet is still very serious.

What made Li Le even more dumbfounded was that the distant good news obviously couldn't come through spending the equivalent. The consequence of him writing bad checks everywhere was that these checks became less and less valuable.

The production cost of 3,000 No. 4 tanks has already stretched the few companies involved in the manufacture, not to mention Li Le is still supervising the research and development of new tanks.

In addition, the FW-190 fighter jets produced by Fokker Wolff are also a beast of gold. Dozens of fighter jets are sent out of the factory every day, and money is needed to purchase these brand-new aircraft every day.

Once the war starts, it means that countless money is consumed. Li Le finally realized that he still underestimated the dependence of modern warfare on capital.

The coal-to-oil technology recently developed by IG Farben has not made much progress, and the refined oil produced can only provide power for some imprecise engines.

To put it bluntly, it's okay to use cars and motorcycles for a while, but precision machinery such as airplanes can't be used at all.

Even so, this refined oil cannot be used directly, but needs to be blended into the gasoline exported from Romania before it can be used reluctantly.

The long-term use of such gasoline, due to incomplete combustion and other problems, will still reduce the life of the engine, resulting in a high engine failure rate and other negative consequences.

In fact, from the beginning to the end of World War II, Germany has never had any improvement in terms of high-quality oil.

When the United Kingdom and the United States generally use high-grade gasoline to improve engine performance, the Germans can only use some "crazy ways" to increase engine power to compete with it.

"These greedy bastards! Don't they ever think that they are part of this country?" Li Le looked at the documents on the table and yelled angrily at his economic department officials.

The shipyard claimed that it could not guarantee Li Le's construction plan for 40 transport ships. They rejected this huge shipbuilding plan on the grounds that the dock was insufficient.

In order to ensure that he has the ability to land in the UK, Li Le has to strengthen his maritime transport capabilities.

However, this effort was ruthlessly broken by the tragic German maritime actual strength.

Most of the German shipyards are occupied, some are repairing and refitting German giant warships, while the rest are producing submarines that the German Navy desperately needs.

This month, with Li Le's empty check on the share of oil, the German port has started the construction of 33 large-tonnage U-shaped submarines at the same time.

Such a large-scale shipbuilding plan started with almost zero funding because of Li Le's words.

The factory didn't even have relevant procedures, so the keel was laid on the dock, and the development plan of the German submarine wolves was ambitiously launched.

However, when Li Le was about to launch 40 more transport ships, the German shipyard rejected this attractive money-making plan.

Because the reason is very simple - these shipyards no longer have enough docks to arrange corresponding production plans.

Also under the promise of Li Le's empty promise of oil share, several French ports are building shipyard maintenance plants to be used as ports for large German surface ships and submarine forces.

The purchase of equipment, and the training of personnel... Li Le has promised too many things recently.

Apart from the fact that the machines used in the pilot factories on the Polish border were actually paid for, the government of the Third Reich did not pay a penny for the other projects.

"My head of state, I can't completely blame these companies. They haven't seen a penny yet, but they have already started various jobs." An aide stood there, looking at Li Le sitting behind the huge desk, Opened to explain.

Although these people did not have the financial genius of Schacht, they were indeed the remaining leaders in the financial world of the Third Reich after Schacht was imprisoned.

Li Le had to rely on them, relying on them to continue the financing method of Schacht's empty-handed white wolf.

"The newly built railway to Poland also has no money, and is in the state of empty accounts." Another economic official said helplessly.

The roads were built by prisoners of war and others, but the daily cost was still a lot of money.

The newly opened factories, the lathes used, and the expense to house the Jewish families and encourage them to work hard, also doubled or even tripled.

In addition to the purchase of raw materials used in these things... the increase in production capacity is not an empty talk, the increase in production capacity is reflected by the production of more things!

These days, the German army has received more weapons and equipment without investing a single penny. Obviously, this is unbalanced, and it is not a truly healthy circular development model.

For example, some novels mentioned how many more muskets were produced and how many more sets of armor were produced. But these things will not be changed in vain, there is only output but no input, which itself is not established.

Mining ore requires investment and manpower; smelting and forging requires investment and manpower; processing and manufacturing requires investment, and manpower is also required; in the end, the desired product can be obtained!

Investing in every link, but without the corresponding investment capital, even if the cycle can be completed, this economic system is unhealthy and may collapse at any time.

Li Le's current economy is an extremely unhealthy wartime economic system, and it is also a tightrope economic model that may collapse at any time.

On the basis of Shakht's economic overdraft model of empty gloves and white wolves, he used the benefits of his discovery of Libyan oil fields, and added a handful of dry wood to make this evil fire more vigorous.

The economic development plan that Schacht gave to the former real head of state, that is, Hitler himself, was built on the basis of national credit, using "mifuku coupons" to secretly replace currency to complete transactions between enterprises.

Then the German government tried to repay the Mifu coupons that needed to be repaid, freeing up a lot of funds to complete non-military economic construction.

Before Hitler came to power, the Wehrmacht was using something similar to "eye contact" to secretly develop military equipment by relying on tacit understanding.

Enterprises produce weapons for the army, all relying on patriotism and trust in the army, no capital procurement is required!

And the military finds a way to use its privileges and other ways to repay the debts it owes to these companies.

This economic model is chaotic and not even legal. But at that time, under the suppression of the Treaty of Versailles, those patriots who dreamed that Germany would be strong again believed that this was an act of saving their motherland.

As a result, these patriots rely on this shady deal to help their country contain countless potentials.

When Hitler and his minions came to power, these potentials were unleashed, making Germany seem strong overnight.

In fact, those who accumulated everything for Germany, Sickert, Stressmann and the like, have already left the stage of history at this time.

Schacht helped Germany to start a good start for Germany, but he forgot to draw an end to this economic model.

The economy of the Third Reich is going further and further on the road of no return from borrowing, and Li Le is also very happy with such a convenient model.

He is incapable of correcting this deformed economy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but once again played this economic model with the Libyan oil fields he discovered.

Taking advantage of the positive emotions brought by the news of the oil field, Li Le made promises everywhere, satisfying his desire for continued expansion of the army, navy, land and air force.

However, it is obviously impossible to use the good news of an oil field to pay for the expansion of the entire country.

Thinking about it too, the stalls spread out in Germany now cannot be supported by a small oil field.

What's more, this oil field still can't produce a huge amount of oil, and it can only be regarded as a small chip to repay the interest.

Therefore, the biggest problem that Li Le has to face at present is not the already bad British air battle, but how to make his industrial capacity expansion plan continue to develop.

Only by expanding Germany's industrial production capacity to a level sufficient to meet the war's consumption can Li Le be able to calmly face the embarrassment of a country challenging the world in the future.

In the same way, only when you become strong can you defend the oil fields in Libya and truly win the Second World War.

"This decision maker is not so easy to be." Li Le muttered to himself depressedly, and then looked at the officials from the economic field in front of him.

"I don't know how Speer has been doing in the railway department in the past two months?" Thinking of industry, Li Le thought of Speer, the talented person who organized production.

It has been almost two months since the other party went to report on Deutsche Bahn. I don't know whether he learned there or not about coordination and organization.

"Where do I get the money? It's a really troublesome question." After searching repeatedly in his mind, Li Le really hoped that he would have a golden finger.
