In addition to the Caucasus oil field, the Crown Prince also currently controls the oil fields in the Mesopotamian Basin. Although the Middle East is far less than the so-called Middle East oil in later generations, the crude oil output in the Mesopotamian Basin is as high as 6 million tons. In addition, the British withdrew their own strength from Persia, then Germany can go in and enter the Persian oil field, and the output here is even more than the Mesopotamian Basin! So, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Crown Prince is willing, the fuel output controlled by the German Empire is not a big problem! Therefore, after a large amount of fuel is exploited and a mature transportation system is established, the fuel in Germany is probably not a big problem! As for how high the fuel cost of the Germans in history? If gasoline is produced using chemical synthesis, it is probably 6 to 7 times the cost of the United States!

Well, there is a foundation for vigorously developing the automobile industry, so what about demand? The demand is also huge. First of all, Germany now has an area of ​​more than 1.5 million square kilometers, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is almost that large. The two countries combined have more than 3 million square kilometers, and the net increase in territory between the two countries has exceeded 1.8 million! So good, if you want to control and develop such a huge new territory, you must develop the transportation industry.

In Germany and Austria, the main ways to transport materials are railways and inland shipping. That is the benefit brought by Germany and Austria's construction of a railway network for more than half a century, but this is not good for new territory. The reason is very simple. Russia's railway transportation efficiency is too low. The territory close to the east is better. The railway density is about one-tenth of that of Germany and Austria. If you arrive in places like Ukraine, the railway density will drop to more than one-tenth of one-tenth of that of one-tenth of that of Germany and Austria......

Germany and Austria spent more than half a century to create a well-connected railway network, but it is a bit difficult to build a railway network of the same density in a place more than twice its original territory! The fixed asset investment alone is probably an astronomical figure! Moreover, Germany will definitely not be able to carry out domestic construction this time for more than 20 years!

Someone once defined peace in this way. What is peace? It is just a brief gap between two wars! This may be a bit radical, but it is indeed the case in the turbulent early 20th century! Look at the historical situation. The Russo-Japanese War broke out in 1905 and the First World War broke out in 1914. Then between the two world wars, the war did not stop in the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. In 1939, the Second World War broke out! This was the product of the intensification of global contradictions.

And what about this plane? Although the allies won, the shadow of war has not gone far away! The competition between Germany and Austria and other powerful countries has only been suspended rather than terminated! Both sides are just restoring and adjusting their diplomatic relations and global strategies at the same time. Once the time is ripe, the United States, Britain and Russia will definitely choose to take action. If Germany and Austria complete their combat preparations one day earlier, they will also start without hesitation!
