    The German ambassador's note contained a vague threat. At this sensitive time, speaking such words to the Chinese Empire at its peak showed that the Germans were completely anxious.

    What made the Allied Powers put aside their fear of China and fight to the death even at the risk of war with the Chinese Federation?  Why is it that while its side is at war with the Allied Powers, it has to put on such a posture to provoke the Asian Federation?  No matter what it is, there is no doubt that this temptation must have great strategic value, and its impact is enough to withstand the losses caused by a war between the two super behemoths in Asia and Europe!

    It¡¯s oil¡ªthe Persian Gulf oil belt has finally been exploded!

    At the end of 1916, a geological exploration report about the world's largest oil belt that might be hidden around the Persian Gulf was published in "Chinese Geography", an authoritative magazine under the Chinese Imperial Academy of Engineering. Soon, due to the content of the article,  Due to its academic value and the high sensitivity of the strategic value behind it, this paper was reprinted by many other academic magazines and quickly attracted the attention of the empire's petrochemical giants.

    However, the final result is not a happy event!  Before the author of this report, a private geological exploration team with a doctorate in geology under the Academy of Engineering, had time to celebrate this huge achievement, he was secretly arrested by agents of the Imperial National Security Agency and assisted in the investigation. His published paper was  Blockade, all his past life trajectories were searched desperately by the imperial intelligence department with a magnifying glass. This posture was completely treating him as a spy.

    But all this is irreversible. The academic level of the enemy's geological report can indeed stand the test.  After a period of research by insiders, his geological structural analysis of the possible super oil zone near the Persian Gulf has been unanimously recognized by domestic and international colleagues.  Spread quickly.

    In just one month, everyone in the industry knew about it.  The Persian Gulf may be the largest oil reservoir in the world.

    Speaking of oil in the Persian Gulf, it has actually been exploited since 1908.  The Anglo-Persian Oil Company of Britain in Persia was established soon after.  However, at that time, the internal combustion engine industry had not yet emerged, oil was not very useful in society, and the scale of Persian oil extraction was also very limited, making it difficult to compete with several well-known oil producing areas in the world at that time: Baku and Tyumen in Russia.  The scale of oil exploration in China, the Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast Asia is comparable, so naturally it does not attract much attention.

    But today, ten years later, the internal combustion engine has emerged.  Today, a series of internal combustion engine machinery such as cars, airplanes, tanks and even ships have set off a new round of industrial revolution!  Petroleum has become the food of the country's industry. In the military, the efficiency of the internal combustion engine has shown its overall advantage over the steam engine. Petroleum has gradually highlighted the trend of replacing coal as the country's most important strategic energy.

    It can be said that in today's era, oil is the engine of national industry and military!  Seizing oil resources has become a priority strategy in competition between countries.  The competition for oil is related to the future of national industry, and more importantly, to the future potential of military competition between countries.

    That¡¯s when this moment came.  Only then did Germany gradually realize why China, regardless of the loss of national power, had opened up another deeper purpose of the Sino-Russian war before the European war when it had just become independent.

    In this matter, the Germans thought very simply at first.  It is believed that China is trying to curry favor with Germany and wants to join the last train of the Allies to compete for world hegemony.  In order to show its strength and its own value, it fulfills its responsibility as a potential ally of Germany.  Help the Germans wear down the Russians in the Far East before going to war.

    During the Sino-Russian war, the upper echelons of Germany cheered in unison.  He was even deeply moved by the Chinese international spirit, which is not self-interested but only beneficial to others, and believes that China is the best ally of the Germans.  Even the arrogant Kaiser Wilhelm II once praised China for this.

    But with the rapid advancement of the Chinese National Defense Forces, they quickly swallowed up the Far East, Central Asia and Siberia, and even pushed the border to Europe. When fortresses were built at the doorsteps of the Europeans in the Caucasus, the Germans began to feel unhappy.  It is believed that the Chinese are robbing the interests that belong to the Europeans. Russia belongs to Europe, and Russia's territory in Asia naturally belongs to Europe. The Chinese have robbed so much, and there is no doubt that they are taking food from the Germans.

    However, at this time, seeing that these large tracts of land are cold and desolate areas with not much population, Russia's real elite area, the Great Plains of Ukraine, fell into its own hands, and China was well prepared in the Caucasus, with hundreds of thousands of elite national defense troops standing ready.  Under the circumstances, it is not a big deal for themselves. Looking at the strength displayed by the Chinese Empire at that time, the Germans really did not want to have any bad relations with China, so they strictly restrained the soil.In addition, there should be no conflict between them and China. Even when China showed an aggressive military posture in West Asia, the Allies maintained a calm attitude as much as possible.

    But later, when the size of Germany¡¯s mechanized army increased and its dependence on oil imports became more and more serious, the Germans finally realized what the Russian territory grabbed by the Chinese meant.

    Although the Tyumen and Baku oil fields are located in a barren and cold zone, they are one of the most productive oil fields in Europe at this time. For this oil-poor zone in Europe, it can be said to have extremely strategic significance.  The Chinese defeated Russia and locked this large area in their hands. Not only did they geographically control Europe's expansion into Asia, but they also blocked the throats of the Allied countries in terms of oil supply, and restricted the  The potential for large-scale mechanized warfare among the Allied nations in the future.

    There is no doubt that every move China has made in Asia has a hidden meaning, and it has been deliberately targeting its allies. However, all of this is hidden under China's seemingly risky military offensive and has not been revealed.

    Now, the emergence of the Persian Gulf oil belt has confirmed a vague suspicion of the Allied Powers. The Chinese Empire hurriedly went south to capture the junction of Asia, Africa and Europe, and its purpose was far more than just to restrict the Allied Powers from entering Asia.  The purpose is to occupy this oil belt and occupy such an oil highland.  Prepare for the future Asian and European world hegemony.

    If not, it cannot explain why the Chinese Empire hurriedly reached a compromise with the Kingdom of Persia.  It was a risky move to station a mere infantry corps around T¨¹rkiye.

    There is no doubt that China has been targeting Germany, and the Persian Gulf oil belt was a God-given gift for Germany to develop industry and form a mechanized army to dominate the world.  Whoever occupies this place is killing Germany's future.

    For this reason, Germany even ignored the fierce fighting with the Allied Powers in North Africa. It quickly reached an agreement among the Allied Powers and mobilized its army to ensure that this area was rich in oil.  The land that represents the ultimate dream of the Allied Powers to dominate the world in the future has been seized, and they are even willing to go to war with China for this purpose.

    And here in China, we received a note from Germany, and Li Zhe and others are also discussing:

    "What do you think of the attitude of the Germans this time? Is it possible to loosen up, I mean, solve it through some kind of compromise? After all, our preparations have not been completed yet, and starting a war at this time will not be good for us!"

    Faced with the provocation of the Allies, even the Emperor of the Empire, Li Zhe, had some headaches and was engaged in a war of attrition with the Allies.  The current Asian Federation does not yet have this strength.  What the current empire fears most is this large-scale war of attrition, which will endlessly deplete national power.

    Li Zhe¡¯s question.  It was difficult for Guo Jia to answer,

    "News from Europe. This time the Germans are indeed serious. Germany is undergoing the second national mobilization. Countries such as Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey have also tried their best. In just two months, they have assembled millions of troops.  Even for the current Allies, it is not an easy task. After all, they still have several battlefields in Europe and North Africa!

    Such an attitude may be difficult to resolve through negotiation. The Germans have now come to their senses and are aware of the several dirty tricks we used against them before. This time the Persian Gulf will not be let off so easily, otherwise the Germans will  A mechanized group army will have to wait until the scale of mining in Morocco and Libya increases before it can be fully organized.

    The Persian Gulf region has an important geographical location, close to Turkey, and now there is a big gimmick like oil. It can be said that it is related to the overall situation of the future dispute between Asia and Europe. It is difficult for them to let go!  "

    "Yes! It's really difficult!" Li Zhe had to admit that the current Persian Gulf region is a competition for the future for China and Germany. Whoever takes a step back will lose at the starting line. No wonder  The Germans will not give up.

    "However, our military plan this year is not to go to war with the Allies in the Persian Gulf! This will only benefit Britain and the United States. Don't the Germans know that? We still have Japan as a hidden worry, and the Philippines and Australia have not yet obtained it. At this time  It's such a shame to start a war! Moreover, the country's construction situation does not allow it." Li Zhe walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

    Wang Shuang, the captain of the Chinese Palace Guards and a fierce general in the Three Kingdoms Time and Space, saw that Li Zhe had a headache, and couldn't help but anxiously blamed him next to him:

    "Hey! It's all the blame on that bullshit doctor of geology from the Academy of Engineering. Whoever gave them the pass and asked them to engage in private exploration is just playing the piano randomly. The expeditionary force has a good plan, but let the self-righteousness of these people mess with it.  It¡¯s a mess. Do you really think that if you occupy it, it¡¯s yours?

    The empire has known about it for a long time, but it has always beenWithout taking action, we only vigorously build transportation and infrastructure in Central Asia, all to lay the foundation for complete control of this zone. Without good transportation and smooth supply lines, how could the empire maintain a battle of millions of troops thousands of miles away?  With such a large scale and no actual control capabilities, how can we develop with peace of mind.  Why!  A bunch of nerds who don¡¯t understand the world!  "

    Wang Shuang, a barbarian, finally let out the atmosphere in the hall. The extremely nervous monarchs and ministers looked at each other and started laughing. Li Zhe said while laughing:

    "Okay, okay! Okay! Even Wang Manzi knows the overall situation. I think this game has a chance! Since Germany has taken action, it doesn't matter! There are always accidents in everything, and we can't let everything develop according to our thoughts.  In this case, let us people come and talk with the elites of Europe in this time and space!"
