Mobil wants to penetrate Shell, but the other party is not waiting to die.

Then Shell's strong brand marketing power and they worked hard on downstream sales.

Buy land on a large scale, build direct gas stations, enhance refining technology, and want to counter mobil from sales.

As long as Shell can firmly control the downstream sales network, mobil will never interrupt its cooperation with it for the sake of profit, but will instead be subject to its checks and balances due to sales issues.

Oil reserves are not what mobil should do normally. They require a lot of money, manpower and material resources. No one will be unable to get along with money, including Li Zitao himself.

The contest between the two sides touches everyone's heart, and Japan is also paying close attention.

Since the beginning of the year, their maritime distant attack troops have begun to train targeting and improve weapons such as torpedoes in order to perfectly complete the attack.

At the same time, Japanese overseas Chinese in Hawaii also received calls from relatives and friends in China.

When he was far away from home, he was naturally very happy to receive calls from his hometown and started chatting from all over the world.

What moved them even more was that the detailed inquiries of relatives and friends in China about their living environment and their experiences made the Japanese feel the warmth from their hometown.

However, they absolutely could not have imagined that whenever the call ended, all the information would be sent to the Japanese base camp, and a detailed Pearl Harbor strategy map slowly appeared.

The Pacific Fleet's attacks against Pearl Harbor were planned for a long time, far earlier than the speculation and verification made by the Americans themselves later.

However, the Japanese side has done a very good job in keeping confidentiality, and it is only conducting drills in the local and offshore fields, and has not been noticed by the outside world.

In this era, people will not be easily discovered without the "sky eyes" on their heads.

Moreover, the Japanese side has done a good job of pretending to be grandchildren. Every time the representatives who come to Washington show humility and a desire to seek peace, greatly satisfying the vanity of the United States.

I have to admit that the Americans have a bit of a Madaha performance in this regard.

Seeing the Japanese respectfully, coupled with psychological superiority, industrial and economic development differences, most people think that Japanese people will never dare to easily provoke strong bald eagles.

In fact, this is true. Anyone who has come to America and has seen its strong industrial foundation and national strength will not easily choose to be enemies with it.

But at this time the fanatical thought of the Japanese base camp had seriously affected their judgment, and the ongoing war in the Far East was also pushing it forward.

****'s thoughts made the entire country kidnapped into the carriage of war and could not stop rolling forward.

In Germany, the little dwarf who could not take over the British for a long time turned his attention to the east.

More than four months ago, at the end of August last year, the German Command had made the "Alto plan to attack the Soviet Union in the future."

But the plan is not mature, and they are implementing the 'Sea Lion Plan', wanting to destroy Britain in one fell swoop and then turn around and launch an attack on the East.

But now the little dwarf changed his mind, and the British's tenacious struggle and assistance from the outside made him less and less hope.

Moreover, Eastern Europe, which has a vast territory and rich resources, is more important to the present or future Germany.

In fact, everyone knew very well that the dwarf had long been snooping into the Soviet Union.

Since the 1920s, he has directed his goal to the vast land of Eastern Europe on the grounds that "the German people must pursue space for survival."

And as Germany became more and more powerful in the war and was unstoppable, the idea became stronger and stronger.

According to the policy formulated by the NC, people of Russia and other Slavic peoples should be killed or enslaved because they all belong to inferior peoples.

The vacant land should be handed over to the Germans to live. According to the plan, the population will be completely extinct due to famine after occupying the cities in these areas, and the remaining agricultural products will be used to feed the Germans.

Although the little dwarf showed in his autobiography that Germany would cooperate with the Russians who were willing to support them, the actual plan was not mentioned at all.

There are two reasons for wanting to launch an attack on the Soviet Union as soon as possible; what Stalin did in the Great Purge made him lose his reputation internationally.

The decline in combat effectiveness caused by the Great Purge is the most important thing in Germany.

As an ally of Japan, the dwarf had a close eye on the details of the Battle of Nomenhan between Japan and Russia, not to mention the numerous battlefield observers sent by Germany during the war.

The real purpose of these people in the war was to detect the existing combat power of the Soviet Union at close range and prepare information for future wars.

The Soviet Union won the Battle of Nomenhan, but the command was chaotic and relied on firepower to suppress it. The army was sluggish, and these problems were exposed on the battlefield.

What's more, compared with Japan, which was behind, Germany had more advanced weapons, elite soldiers, tanks and huge supplies than the Soviet Union.

Germany, which occupied most of Europe, swept away the decadence and sluggishness after the war, gradually grew into a "steel beast" during the war.

The benefits of defeating the Soviet Union are obvious; when the Soviet Union is defeated, Germany will be able to liberate a large number of troops to alleviate the labor shortage in the industry.

Ukraine has fertile land that provides a lot of cheap food.

The occupation of the Soviet Union would have a large amount of slave labor, and the vast land would also change Germany's geostrategy.

Defeating the Soviet Union can further isolate Britain and further block the assistance from outside.

The most important point is that Germany's war machine consumes a lot of oil every moment. To solve this phenomenon, the Baku oil-producing area of ​​the Soviet Union was the best choice.

So, while American families were preparing for Christmas and New Year, the Dwarf approved all the plans made by the Commander to invade the Soviet Union.

So, shortly after the end of the year, a large number of German troops were mobilized to the border, which made the Soviet Union sense uneasy and called the dwarf to ask the reason.

According to the plan of the commander, they will send more than 3 million troops to the border and allocate a large amount of supplies to the Eastern Front to prepare for the war.

If the Soviet Union could be stabilized before the war and launching the "lightning attack" that Germany is best at, the effect would be amazing.

Therefore, the German ambassador to the Soviet Union told the Soviet side that Germany's garrison of troops on the border was only necessary to make the necessary defensive posture and strategic needs.

After all, they are going to war with Britain, and the Soviet Union and Germany have just signed the "peace treaty" for less than two years. The dwarf is peaceful and friendly to the Soviet people.

Only the "ghost" would believe such nonsense, and the Soviet Union smiled.

However, one thing they think is true is that Germany will never go to war with the Soviet Union in the near future and open up dual battlefields to increase the difficulty of war.

Moreover, once war with the Soviet Union without defeating Britain, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union will definitely choose to cooperate and jointly launch an attack on Germany.

No matter how you think about it, there is no need to cause trouble for the dwarf. Because of this, they chose to believe the excuse of the German ambassador, and only asked the border to strengthen patrol and guard.
